Silver Moon Halberd

"Twins" 1.

Shen Chuxing likes dragonflies in May and frogs in June. They lay eggs in two more months, and the meat will not be fat.Occasionally, he would dig a few earthworms and stuff them between his teeth.When he was still in Mo Qingwu, he would feed the chewed flesh and blood mouth to mouth to the babies who were waiting to be fed, although those babies rarely survived.

On the day Mo Qingwu was wiped out, he was digging a mouse hole in a mountain depression, and it took him a whole day to dig out the hole.When he rushed back with a nest of little mice, he smelled a strong fishy smell from a distance.

He originally wanted to feed the little mouse to the children, but the children were taken away.

All dead, all gone.From now on, dragonflies, frogs, earthworms, and mice will all be his.

However, not long after the happy days, a strange man appeared in front of his eyes and brought him here from Mo Qingwu.There is also a pond here, and there are fat fishes. He didn't dare to think about those fish before, because he couldn't compete with people who were taller and stronger than him.

In the summer season, dragonflies are flying all over the sky, and frogs in the lotus pond are croaking. He is sitting by the pool, surrounded by countless fish bones.The sparkling waves shone on his immature face, and the water color was reflected in the pear dimples revealed by his chewing.

"Who allowed you to eat these fish?"

Hearing this, he looked behind him with blood on his face.

Standing there was a child about his age, with his hair parted in two buns, tied with red silk thread, and the remaining two tails of the bun hanging down his ears.The child was wearing light beige clothes, his face was very white, but his eyes were black and bright, cold and hard, and he threw them like a stone: "Why don't you speak?"

Shen Chuxing tilted his head, his loose hair slid to his chest, and the earrings stuck to his cheeks, shining brightly in the sun.

"I'm asking you a question, do you dare not answer?" The boy as big as Bean Ding walked up to him with his hands behind his back, looked down and said, "Do you know who I am? My name is Ye Zhenge, from the Ye family." young master."

Shen Chuxing's eyes were wide open with a look of confusion.

Young Master Ye was suddenly annoyed, grabbed the fish in his hand and threw it out: "It's so dirty!"

Dazed for a moment, Shen Chuxing suddenly turned over and got up, bumping headfirst into the other party!Ye Zhenge frowned in pain, and pushed his shoulder to try to push him away, but Shen Chuxing didn't move, hugged his waist tightly, and pushed his head against his abdomen.Ye Zhenge immediately exerted all his energy and used the weight of his body to push him down to the ground!

Shen Chuxing gnawed a mouthful of mud and realized a fact: the other party was stronger than him.

"I'm merciful because you're a girl! My father accepted you as a righteous daughter. In name, you are my righteous sister, but there is a difference in dignity. You must call me young master. If I ask you, you must answer!"

Three days ago, Ye Zhenge heard from the old slave in the mansion that there was a child living in Heng Wuxuan, but he knew nothing about the other party's situation, so he made a big or small joke and made Shen Chu wrong. Recognized as a girl.

Shen Chuxing remained silent throughout.

Really helpless, Ye Zhenge simply let him go, and pulled him up when he got up.Staring at his dirty face, Young Master Ye lifted his chin slightly, and said in disgust, "Can't you speak? What's your name?"

He really can't speak, and he doesn't have a name.

Shen Chuxing was later picked up by Ye Qing for him, implying the beginning of his "life".

Not long after, Ye Zhenge learned about Shen Chuxing's life experience, which completely aroused his curiosity.After observing for a long time, he found that Wu Qing not only felt no pain, but even no emotions.They don't know how to protect themselves, and how to express their emotions; they are like a body that has a human appearance, but it is difficult to call it a "human".

Teaching Shen Chuxing to be a "person", and teaching Shuangrui to bow to each other, occupied most of Ye Zhenge's childhood.

You can't touch the fire, and you can't touch the things on the fire.Don't climb to high places, don't go deep into the water.Knives, scissors, avoid all sharp things.

If he is obedient, and if he does well, Ye Zhenge will reward Shen Chuxing with Shuangrui's raw beef.

What is the danger?Why stay out of danger?Shen Chuxing didn't understand that in his head, he could get food by following Young Master Ye's request, which would never appear on the dinner table, and he was keen on fresh flesh and blood.Including "laughing", he can't understand the meaning of "laughing", but he can imitate the other person's grin.

A year later, Shen Chuxing laughed more naturally and lovably, spoke more fluently, read some books with Mr. Fuli, and was able to write and draw a few crookedly, as if he was no different from other children.

It wasn't until one day that a pond of goldfish that Ye Qing cherished was "poisonously" raised outside Hengwuxuan, and the Dongchuang incident happened.

Even though Ye Zhenge gave him some raw food from time to time, Shen Chuxing pursued living prey more than dead ones.No emotion, lack of empathy and self-control; from the moment of birth, with the brain eroded by drugs, it is doomed to have no killing instinct.

Ye Zhenge knew that Shen Chuxing couldn't empathize, but as long as he developed a fixed way of thinking, he could at least look like a human being.

"If you don't eat raw food for three days, I will lose you a chicken. If you can do it, I will keep my promise. If you can't, I will fine you not to eat raw food for a month," Ye Zhenge fixed his eyes on the other party with black eyes. Sincerely, "gambling?"

Three days was not as hard as imagined, when Shen Chuxing won the game and held the spoils in his hands, Ye Zhenge smiled and said: "You are angry."

Staring at the little chick who was thinner than a mouse, Shen Chuxing blinked and said, "Should I be angry?"

"If it were me, I would be angry."

"How about being angry?"

"Be patient. Because you and I agreed on a chicken, but didn't agree on the size. If you don't ask clearly, you can only blame yourself for being negligent. But even so, you must be extremely unwilling."

"Not reconciled?"

"If it were me, I would not be reconciled."

"Why not reconciled?"

"Of course it's another gamble," Ye Zhenge said while taking out a piece of dim sum and spreading it flat in his palm, "I'll exchange this piece of dim sum for the chicken in your hand, you eat the dim sum and I eat the chicken, whoever finishes eating first will be counted." Win. If you win, I will lose you a big rooster. If I win, you will not be allowed to eat raw for three months. Big cock..." After deliberately emphasizing these words, Ye Zhenge said seriously, "Will you bet? ?”

"bet."

In exchange for the snacks with the chicken, Shen Chuxing buried his head and devoured it hungrily, but he raised his head after eating all, but the chicken was completely intact and curled up in the opponent's palm in a daze.

"I lost," Ye Zhenge said regretfully after returning the chicken to Shen Chuxing, "This is the big cock I lost to you."

"It's a chicken."

"I never said when I would fulfill my promise. When a chicken grows up, it will naturally become a big rooster."

After being dazed for a long time, Shen Chuxing suddenly laughed: "One more bet!"

When the leaves fall, when the flowers bloom, when the sky is cloudy and the sky is clear, when the moon is full and the moon is waxing, whether Shuangrui will hide the bones in the house or the courtyard is the content of the bet between the two of them.Although Shen Chuxing is more likely to win than lose, he seldom gets the promised bet. On the contrary, once he loses, he will not be able to eat blood for a long time.

As the little chicken grows into a big rooster safely, at the age of nine, Shen Chuxing already has an unparalleled dedication to "gambling", and the more he gambles, the more he becomes "bigger".

——For example, can Ying Ling be angered.

This time he won the gamble very thoroughly, and he was also given a broken head and blood.

Shen Chuxing was walking on the road with blood all over his face, the road shook violently, and he fell down faintly after walking for a long time.When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying on the bed, and Young Master Ye was standing by the bed. Seeing that he hadn't spoken after waking up, he was silent for a long time before saying: "Does it hurt?"

"What does pain feel like?"

Shen Chuxing didn't know the taste of pain. In fact, he didn't think plum blossom cakes were more delicious than flesh and blood. He just associated the "joy" after winning the bet with snacks.So when Ye Zhenge said that the pain was like Meng Chunhui stealing his snack, he naturally equated it with the anger and unwillingness after losing the bet.

A few days later, when Shen Chuxing was able to go to the ground, Ye Zhenge came to visit him again.

Sitting at the table, took out the soup cup from the food box, opened the lid of the bowl, and the cold air overflowed.Ye Zhenge took a spoon and drank it. The watermelon juice with ice cubes was sweet and refreshing.

Shen Chuxing sat aside with his chin propped up, staring at him for a moment, his eyes were so bright that they almost dripped: "What are you eating?"

"Cold and sweet things are delicious anyway, but it's a waste to give them to you." Ye Zhenge picked up the soup cup and drank it all in one go, took out the handkerchief and took it easy He wiped his mouth, then dropped the handkerchief, grabbed the soup cup with one hand, and threw it at the corner of the table without warning!

There was a crisp sound of "crash", the whole porcelain was shattered into pieces, and Ye Zhenge's palm was not spared from being cut, but his expression remained unchanged, and he knocked on the table with the other hand, saying: "Say, you and this Are there any differences?"

Shen Chuxing's eyes widened in silence.

"You have more mouths than it does, and this mouth will only eat. Because instead of knives and scissors, a stone hits you, and you don't know how to dodge. Do you know that if the hit is off by one point, you are already dead," Ye Zhenge's eyes had an indifference that didn't match his age, "I made a bet with you that put you in danger, and I won't bet with you again in the future."

His gaze couldn't help but shift to Ye Zhenge's palm, Shen Chuxing swallowed his saliva, stretched out his arm out of nowhere, but before touching it, Ye Zhenge put his fingertips on the unhealed wound on his forehead: "You have to learn to fight back , to anyone who wants to hurt you, no matter who it is. I let you bear it when you were angry before, but I will not allow you to bear it anymore. "

Shen Chuxing entered the Ye Mansion at the age of six, learned swordsmanship at the age of seven, and practiced diligently for five years. Although he had never defeated Tang Fei, he was evenly matched with Ye Zhenge, not to mention losing to other boys in the mansion.His sword skills are not "precise", but "ruthless", regardless of the consequences, leaving no room for trouble. At the age of 12, Shen Chuxing was not afraid of anything, and he would not suffer even the slightest loss!

Meng Chunhui lived in the same yard with him when he was young, but he beat him severely when he took a bite of his pastry.Meng Chunhui was used to being bullied by him and dared not speak up, but he couldn't help crying when he saw Tang Fei.After Tang Fei heard the whole story, without saying a word, he made an appointment with Shen Chu to a remote place, beat him back firmly, and tied him under the tree with a rope.

The moon that night was really big and round.

Shen Chuxing looked up at the sky, still thinking about the cake in his arms that was bitten by Meng Chunhui and was no longer round.

It was a pleasant night, with a clear breeze and bright moon, and everything was silent, but suddenly there was an untimely "squeak" sound in my ears.In front of a small abandoned courtyard, the courtyard door opened in response to the sound, and the person Shen Chuxing hadn't seen for many days slowly walked out.

Ye Zhenge often "disappears".

Although he is a young master, he is not conspicuous in the well-mannered Ye Mansion. He is inferior to Shen Chuxing and Chi Qianli in terms of "innate talent", inferior to Tang Fei in terms of kung fu, and he doesn't even know more about the family's livelihood than Gu Qiya.Everyone called him Young Master because he was the son of his adoptive father; other than that, he was neither outstanding nor special, so his temporary disappearance would not attract attention either.Short three to five days, long ten days and a half months, sooner or later he will show up with all his beard and feathers.

Just like this moment...

Messy hair, crumpled clothes, one cheek is swollen, and the lips are brown with dried blood.

Shen Chuxing blinked, remembering that he was fighting with Ye Zhenge by the pool a year ago, and it was also like this on a moonlit night, under his open clothes, his skin was covered with large bruises and bruises.

"Monster" is a terrible nightmare spread among the children in Yefu. Some people say they have heard monsters roaring, some people say they have seen monsters with blue faces and fangs, some people say monsters will beat children, and only those who are not good.

Seeing Shen Chuxing, Ye Zhenge stepped forward to untie him, and then continued to walk forward.Passing by a pool, he bent down to wash his face, and as soon as he got up and turned his head, he saw the other party take out a piece of cake from his arms, split it in two, and handed the half without a gap to himself. "Appetite" is one of Wuqing's few desires other than killing, and trying to snatch food from Shen Chuxing's mouth is tantamount to pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.Ye Zhenge looked at him in surprise.

Passing the pastry to the other party, Shen Chuxing sat on the ground and ate the remaining half.

After standing still for a while, Ye Zhenge sat down and said softly, "Where do you want to go and what do you want to do in the future?"

"In the future?" Shen Chuxing didn't understand.

"One or two years, or two or three years later, when you are taller and stronger, and you can live on your own."

Swallowing the last mouthful of food, Shen Chuxing wiped his mouth, lay on his back with his hands behind his head, looked at the moon as round as a pancake, and said, "You can live if you have food, where and what you do, is there any difference? "

With one hand behind his head, Ye Zhenge also lay down, put the pastry between his teeth and bit it lightly, then turned his head to look at the young man: "I want to leave here, go to the ends of the world to eat and play until I am old."

Hearing the words eat and play, Shen Chuxing got up and said excitedly, "Let's go to the ends of the earth, eat and play until we are old!"

Shuangrui is a puppy of the same age as Ye Zhenge's uncle who gave him to Ye Zhenge on his third birthday; Shen Chuxing is Wu Qing's pup of the same age as him who was brought back to Ye's house by his father when he was six years old.He likes Shuangrui and Shen Chuxing.Three years ago, after Shuangrui was buried under the hibiscus tree, Shen Chuxing became his only comfort in this dreary mansion.

Looking at those big innocent eyes, Ye Zhenge unconsciously deepened his smile.

"Twins" 2.

When they were 15 years old, Ye Zhenge and Shen Chuxing left Qianning on the grounds of traveling the rivers and lakes and broadening their horizons. They decided to wander the world and never return, but accidentally rescued a girl on the way. Because of their "special" identities, So I had to interrupt the plan and go back home.After sending the girl to Cui Yanyan's side, Ye Zhenge thought that this matter would not be hidden for long, and his father would find out sooner or later, so he was not in a hurry to plead guilty, and just called Zhao Banyao to take care of the other party's injuries.

Sure enough, within three days, he and Shen Chuxing were summoned to Hengwuxuan.

Shen Chuxing flicked flowers, startled birds and played with fish all the way, leisurely as if visiting a garden; Ye Zhenge was also relaxed.Punishments from Ye Qing have long been commonplace for them. Punishments such as kneeling, confinement for copying books, canes, and imprisonment in dungeons, but if one person has a share, the other will most likely not be able to escape.

It is normal for Shen Chuxing to implicate Young Master Ye, but this time it was the other party who implicated him. He felt that it was quite new, and he was a little excited.

After arriving at Hengwuxuan and bowing his head to pay his respects, another person was led into the house, looked at the young man for a long while before Shen Chuxing matched his face with his name.They live in different courtyards and learn martial arts from different masters. In addition, this person is a loner, quiet and reticent. The only thing Shen Chuxing understands about him is his pair of "soul-destroying pupils".

Ye Zhenge was also secretly surprised, he couldn't figure out the reason why Chi Qianli and the "criminal body" were summoned together.

It wasn't until he was taken to a remote mountain and faced with the three narrow entrances that opened the mountain wall that he realized that this "punishment" would be different from any previous one.This is Ye Qing's carefully prepared venue for the "trial". The rules are simple: as long as someone can leave through the only exit, it will be over.

And when the three entered through different entrances by drawing lots, the servant also pushed a boulder to block it firmly.

Shen Chuxing was a gambler, never afraid of challenges, he was indeed quite lucky, he got the shortest path, but in just half a day he realized that luck alone would never make it out.The unchanging darkness, the unchanging sound of water droplets hitting the eardrums and the rough and slippery road made Shen Chuxing feel as if he was always wandering in the same place. He gradually became slow to the flow of time. He couldn't move his feet anymore, so he sat down with his back against the rock.

There is no shortage of water in the cave, even if you are dying of starvation, you will not die so easily.

Clothes and hair were already drenched by the water falling from the stalagmites, and when the stinging stings came, it was so cold to the bone.

Shen Chuxing blinked and couldn't help but think of Mo Qingwu, the dragonfly, the frog and the little mouse, and the broken emerald ring that was inexplicably entangled in his belt. He later put the ring under Ying Ling's window together with the plum blossom cake and the IOU.Finally, he thought of Ye Zhenge, and all he could think of was the cut palm when he smashed the soup pot.

—Warm and seductive, the taste of blood.

The liquid on the tip of the tongue was extremely sweet, and it gurgled as it slid down the throat, filling the nasal cavity with blood.Taste, hearing, and smell all indicate that thoughts come true.

Gululu, Gurulu... The sound of swallowing echoed in my mind, as if a pot of boiling water had been poured into it, scalding every nerve with excitement.He chewed and sucked greedily, panting heavily like a wild animal, the temperature in his brain was getting higher and higher, almost burning his nerves, hot!It's so hot that I want to smash my brains out!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"If you want to die, we will die here together."

Who... who's talking?

He opened his eyes in a daze, but he couldn't see anything, but a child's face appeared in front of his eyes, his hair was parted in two buns, tied with red silk thread, and the remaining two tails of the bun were hanging down by his ears.

He called softly: "Master..."

Then fell asleep again.

He didn't know what dreams were, but after listening to Ye Zhenge's talk that dreams could fulfill all wishes, he thought he might have had a dream. In the dream, the young master was carrying him behind his back and said that he would give him a real big cock, if he could live down.

When he woke up again, he was already lying on the bed in Guanjuyuan. Meng Chunhui, who was guarding the side, told him that he had "disappeared" for thirteen days, and when he was brought back half dead, his face and clothes were covered in blood. After waking up, Meng Chunhui cried and said, "First trip... I won't steal... your snacks..."

How can dim sum taste as good as a big cock?Shen Chuxing was angry that he disturbed his dream, turned over and covered the quilt over his head.

Ye Zhenge didn't show up for a long time, and Shen Chuxing didn't go to look for him, and it was a month after they met again, Ye Qing summoned them to Hengwuxuan.

Both of them knelt down on the ground, and a burning copper basin was placed in front of them. There were two stacks of letters on one side of the copper basin, one of which was very familiar to Ye Zhenge, which he sent to Tongliang, and the other If you don't guess, you know it was sent from Tongliang. Obviously, neither party has received it.

"You must have had a lot of doubts in your heart these years, such as why I adopted an orphan, and my grievances with Feng Jing... For example, the people in the courtyard—"

Ye Zhenge didn't expect his father to mention "that person" in front of Shen Chuxing, and he raised his head nervously to look at the seat above, and the long-healed bones that had been broken by the other party began to ache.

Ye Qing did not call himself a father, and never called Ye Zhenge "my son". He sat in the top chair, looked down from a high position and said, "Now that you are in the age of dancing elephants, there are some things that should be told to you."

Opening her lips leisurely, Ye Qing started from the time when the two teenagers met the girl who was separated from her grandfather, and Ye Qing talked about the 20-year-long grievance and hatred that has continued to this day... The throbbing of love for the first time, the helplessness of being forced to separate The reluctance to give up, the grief, self-blame and anger of hearing the bad news and witnessing the tragedy of his lover, the determination to swear revenge... His expression was indifferent, his tone was gentle, as if he was talking about other people's experiences, only his fingers that were whitened by holding the handrail The stanza reveals a hint of emotion.

Different from Ye Zhenge's shock, Shen Chuxing understood the cause and effect, just like hearing that the weather was good, it was not as attractive to him as the brocade box placed on the other side of the copper basin.He wondered what was inside.

Following Shen Chuxing's line of sight, Ye Qing glanced at the brocade box lightly, then turned to Ye Zhenge again, and said: "Wu Qing, who has no pain, is ruthless and desireless, is a born killer, a bloodthirsty monster, but why? Have you ever thought about it?"

Without his reply, Ye Qing continued: "Wuqing will go crazy and self-destruct once she becomes an adult. What Mo Qing's master wanted to obtain back then was a secret recipe to restrain her madness. For this, the Jiangnan Zhao family was wiped out overnight, and then The Martial Arts League also razed Mo Qingwu to the ground and imprisoned all the young Wuqing puppet."

The Zhao brothers narrowly escaped death, and Shen Chuxing was "the fish that slipped through the net".

"I took in the Zhao brothers out of pity. I took Shen Chuxing back to the mansion because I couldn't bear him to suffer innocently. Zhao Banyao was grateful to me and was willing to give me the secret recipe. I was determined to save Shen Chuxing and save him from madness. You actually want to take him away. ?”

Ye Zhenge heard every word of Ye Qing for the first time. He knew the identity of Shen Chuxing Wuqing, but he didn't know that Wuqing would go crazy and self-destruct. .Cold sweat rolled down from the corner of his forehead, and he lowered his head deeply, his voice trembling imperceptibly: "My child, dare not..."

Ye Qing smiled coldly: "Why don't you dare? Travel the rivers and lakes and broaden your horizons? You might as well read the letter to Feng Jing again."

After saying that, she squinted at the stack of letters, Ye Qing narrowed her eyes and said, "I will not stop you from joining the Feng family. Burn the contents of this brocade box, and you will be free."

"First trip," Ye Qing suddenly called softly, "Your young master will decide your life and death."

Looking up at him, Shen Chuxing smiled heartlessly.

Ye Zhenge wasn't sure if the box was really a secret recipe, and his father was more likely to be testing it.Since this thing came from Zhao Banyao, he must remember the content - no, Zhao Banyao would not tell himself that it was something their brother kept safe, if he used it to save Shen Chuxing, how could his father let him go?

What's more, there is a sea of ​​blood feud between the Zhao family and Wuqing across the south of the Yangtze River.

In less than a moment, Ye Zhenge's back was drenched in cold sweat, and his forehead lightly hit the ground, saying: "Father has saved Shen Chuxing's life, and he should repay you, regardless of life and death. The child is devoted to the Ye family, to the Father, the letter sent by the boy to his uncle only said that he wanted to visit him in Tongliang, and had no intention of defecting, so please be clear to my father."

"If you don't have sincerity, don't say anything." Ye Qing said indifferently, resting her forehead with one hand.

Ye Zhenge was stunned, walked forward slowly, took up the two stacks of letters, and said: "If you doubt my sincerity, I have no choice but to prove it with this." Yu Luo actually threw the letter into the brazier, and "cracked" There was a sudden sound, and the tongue of flame jumped up to a foot high.

Bending his knees again, Ye Zhenge said word by word: "My child swears that he will never enter Tongliang in this life. If he breaks his oath, he will pierce his heart with a sharp knife!"

Ye Qing curled her lips, and looked at him with a half smile but not a smile: "I'm very pleased with your filial piety. I won't make things difficult for you. When the revenge is avenged, I will give the secret recipe to Shen Chuxing."

"Father... what do you want the child to do?" Ye Zhenge asked with his head bowed.

After a while, Ye Qing tapped the handle with her fingertips: "No rush, I will let you know when I need you."

"Zhen Ge understands."

"Hmm..." After pondering, Ye Qing closed her eyes, as if she didn't want to take another look at him, "Take the brocade box away, the inside is what I gave you."

From day to day, when they left Hengwuxuan, they had already stepped on long shadows.

Passing by the shallow pond outside Xuan Wai, Shen Chuxing took a look, and there were still brightly colored goldfish swimming in the water.Ye Zhenge is no longer the domineering young master when he first met. He can't remember how long it has been since he saw the other party domineering and superior; it turns out that people will change, and he himself is looking forward to a day when the pond is full of fish and can't slobber.

"When are we leaving?"

After a pause, Ye Zhenge asked back, "Where are you going?"

"The ends of the earth!" Shen Chuxing walked around in front of him.

"You heard what my father said. With such powerful connections in the Wulin League, they can only imprison Wuqing and let her fend for herself. The secret recipe is probably the only thing that can save your life."

"So what? I have the final say on life and death." Shen Chuxing had seen Wuqing go berserk when he was in Mo Qingwu, it was nothing new at all.

Ye Zhenge looked at him quietly for a while, then said coldly: "Your life and death are up to you, it has nothing to do with me, and my affairs also have nothing to do with you. I'm not going anywhere."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Looking at the back that was fading away, Shen Chuxing thought, although Ye Zhenge has changed, a certain point remains the same.

There are always countless reasons for not fulfilling the promises made.

However, Shen Chuxing refused to suffer the same loss again and again.

Rolling his eyes, he ran back to the courtyard where he lived. He searched Meng Chunhui's house for valuables and copper plates hidden under the pillow. The "boudoir" of Master Xie Ye.

"Twins" 3.

The master was not in the house, so Shen Chuxing turned his back on the guests, lay down on the bed with his shoes on, folded his arms and raised his legs behind his head.For a while, he wondered where the young master went in the middle of the night; for a while, he wondered how much private money the other party had left for himself to eat, drink and have fun; gourmet food.I thought about it all the time, but I didn't think about Ye Zhengeken's refusal to go with him.

After thinking about it, he fell asleep in a trance, and when he woke up, he was covered with a quilt, and his shoes were taken off and placed under the bed.

The candle was weeping, and the faint light of the fire filled the room. Ye Zhenge sat at the table facing him, quietly looking at the folding fan between his fingers, and there was an opened brocade box beside the table.At that time, Shen Chuxing was still curious about what was in the box, but now that it was just a fan, he immediately lost interest, and was instead attracted by a few scratches on Ye Zhenge's neck.

Hearing the story of the adoptive father, he already knew the true identity of the "monster": a woman who had no strength to restrain a chicken and was mutilated by the fire.

Shen Chuxing was very puzzled, his adoptive father also called him a "monster", his monster must be stronger than that woman, but it was not easy for him to hurt Ye Zhenge, why did the other party succeed every time?Furthermore, Ye Zhenge taught him to fight back against all those who wanted to hurt him. If so, wouldn't that woman have been beaten to death long ago?

Why didn't the young master fight back?

"Take me to meet that monster!" Shen Chuxing was eager to try, full of interest.

Ye Zhenge closed the fan: "She is not a monster."

After a pause, he said, "You are not a monster either."

Shen Chuxing looked at him and blinked, then suddenly turned over and got off the bed, picked up the burden thrown at the foot of the bed, walked to him and said, "Let's go."

"First trip..." Clenching his fan tightly, Ye Zhenge looked up at him, "Take my letter and go to Tongliang to find uncle, he will give you the safest arrangement."

"What's the difference between staying in Tongliang and staying in Ye's house? It's not the same as being trapped in one place?" Shen Chuxing wondered.

Ye Zhenge shook his head and said: "No one in Tongliang forces you to repay his 'kindness', forces you to go through life and death to avenge him, and coerces you to do what you don't want to do."

Shen Chuxing nodded: "It sounds good, let's go to Tongliang together."

"I can't go," Ye Zhengefu shook his head again, "my father hates my uncle for breaking up my marriage, and my uncle hates my father for letting down his sister. If I go to Tongliang, it will only arouse the conflict between the two and make the situation worse."

"Then we won't go to Tongliang." Shen Chuxing followed the advice of kindness.

Ye Zhenge looked at him helplessly, and sighed: "I can't leave Ye's house."

"Because of the secret recipe?"

Standing up and walking towards the window, with his back turned to him in silence for a moment, Ye Zhenge said: "It's not just for the secret recipe. If you think about it carefully, aren't the orphans adopted by my father suffering blood feuds? Father avenged them, and even gave them a chance to kill them." The purpose of killing the enemy is self-evident: the lamb kneels and the crow feeds back. If I walk away, what I should have done will have to be borne by them, how can I stay out of it."

"What's more..." Ye Zhenge said softly, "Qiao Lu's tragedy is not only the unfairness of fate, but also the cowardice of the father and the selfishness of the uncle, and I am the wrong 'result' caused by their cowardice and selfishness. Indifferent."

Shen Chuxing doesn't have the troubles of ordinary people and can't experience the happiness of ordinary people. He has no worries, no fears, no joys and sorrows. He is an empty shell that Ye Zhenge has filled little by little over the long years.However, everything he has comes from Ye Zhenge, and what Ye Zhenge "gives" to him is not everything he has.

So Shen Chuxing doesn't understand that Ye Zhenge is controlled by Ye Qing, it's because he can't let go of his friendship with everyone; he doesn't understand that he is hurt by monsters but doesn't fight back because he is greedy for that little warmth.I don't understand his contradictions, pain, and helplessness.

Shen Chuxing did whatever he wanted: "Do you want to leave?"

"It doesn't matter what I think." Turning around and walking towards him, Ye Zhenge stood in front of him and patted his shoulder lightly, "Chu Xing, talk to uncle for me—"

Before he finished speaking, he was startled, Ye Zhenge lowered his head, looked at the finger poked on his chest in shock, then looked at Shen Chuxing, his expression changed immediately: "You dare to touch my acupuncture points!"

Shen Chuxing wondered that he was not shorter than the other party, and his kung fu was not inferior to him, so why not dare?He leaned over and carried Young Master Ye on his shoulders.

"Let me down!" Ye Zhenge couldn't move, all the blood flowed back to his head, his cheeks flushed red, "Don't mess around!"

Shen Chuxing said with a soft "hush": "You can make your voice louder. If you wake up the servant girl and disturb the adoptive father, there will be a lot of excitement."

Ye Zhenge really kept his mouth shut.Shen Chuxing carried him out of Shen Xiangxie, turned around and ran to a wall separating the back alley in a familiar way.

Just as he unloaded the "heavy object" from his shoulders and unlocked the acupoints, the man turned around and wanted to leave.

"Master," Shen Chuxing said the moment he moved, "let's go."

Ye Zhenge suddenly looked back... Although the young man in front of him has grown a lot taller, his face is still immature, and the eyes that blink lightly reveal the innocence of the past.In the middle of the night, the only thing left is "Let's go" that echoed in my heart and shattered my eardrums!

- let's go.let's go.let's go.

Shen Chuxing jumped up to the top of the wall, stretched out his hand towards the person standing under the wall in a half-squat position, and smiled suddenly, and the moonlight filled the dimples.

Three days later, in a town hundreds of miles away from Ganning, when he was eating noodles at a noodle stall, Ye Zhenge still regretted his impulsiveness that night.Staying at Ye's house was a well-thought-out decision, but the bustling crowds and noisy streets all reminded him that he left everything behind and chose to escape.

Ye Zhenge was preoccupied, so he put down his chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls.

Seeing the chopped green onions floating on the clear soup, Shen Chuxing was also listless.A penny is hard for a hero, he left in a hurry earlier, and took nothing but the young master fan in his hand.Shen Chuxing's tongue has long been teased by Ye Mansion's delicacies, he has not suffered such grievances in ten years, and the bowl of noodles has not touched a single mouthful.

The two set off again, and when they were about to step out of the town, Shen Chuxing accidentally bumped into a group of hurried young men. Before he could apologize, the young man turned into the alley like a gust of wind.Leaning at Shen Chuxing, Ye Zhenge frowned slightly, and didn't say anything at the moment, but suddenly got tired after walking to a forest in the outskirts, and wanted to rest.

Sure enough, within a quarter of an hour, a figure rushed into the forest and went straight to Shen Chuxing, and greeted him with fists!

The closed fan tapped his shoulders and neck, Ye Zhenge was enjoying the shade leisurely while watching a play.

Shen Chuxing was used to wielding a sword, but he didn't bring one with him. The young man was a master at capturing, and after dozens of rounds, he suffered defeat without any accident.His cheek was pressed against the ground, and the back of his heart was severely trampled by a foot. Not to mention how embarrassed he was, but his eyes were bright and his expression was extremely excited: "This kung fu is so powerful, teach me!"

"Taught you, let you steal other people's things again?" The young man bent down to find his own purse in his sleeve, "Hmph! There are no missing limbs, no weak strength, and no bad kung fu. Can’t even make ends meet? Prefer leisure and hate work to be a thief!”

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Zhenge, sized him up, and said, "You must be his 'traveler' when you walk with him."

"How do you know?" Ye Zhenge smiled and said, "If you walk on the same road, you are considered to be traveling together. Aren't you and I both his 'companions'?"

The young man said bluntly: "The folding fan you hold is worth thousands of gold. He will not steal it, but will instead focus on a few pieces of silver in my pocket, unless it is a stupid thief who doesn't know what to buy."

Hearing this, Shen Chuxing immediately said pleasantly: "Master, we will be rich if we sell the fan."

"Look," Ye Zhenge said with a wry smile, "that stupid thief is also thinking about my valuables."

"Master..." The young man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help teasing, "He's actually a thief stealing from a family."

"Under Ye Zhenge, the one who was trampled on the soles of his feet by his brother at this moment and lost all face in a complete defeat is Yemou's adopted brother, Shen Chuxing. The elder brother is the father, and the son does not teach. It is the father's fault. His fault is my fault. He must be strictly controlled in the future, and I hope that Xiongtai will give him a lot of opportunities to correct his mistakes." Ye Zhenge saluted respectfully.

No matter how Shen Chuxing heard this, it didn't please his ears, but before he could refute, he heard Ye Zhenge say again: "Is it comfortable to lie down? Why don't you hurry up and apologize to your brother?"

The words seemed to be addressed to Shen Chuxing, but they were actually addressed to himself; Ye Zhenge had a gentle smile and a humble attitude.

Standing up in disgrace, Shen Chuxing smiled and said, "I was wrong, I'm sorry."

There is no sincerity.

The young man frowned, and was about to make a sound, but Ye Zhenge said first: "Can I ask you about your name?"

After hesitating for a moment, the boy clasped his fists and said, "I'm going to make a list of surnames, and my name is Gnosis."

They didn't know each other, and they were about the same age, so they quickly chatted speculatively.
