Year care

The two found a small cave to rest.Meng Yang found a clean place, put Wan Yao down, took off his robe, covered her body, and asked, "Is nothing wrong with Wan Yao?"

Su Ziye lit a fire beside him, and said, "It's okay, Daoist Wan has deep inner strength, so the miasma poison shouldn't have much effect."

Meng Yang seemed relieved after hearing this, "That's good."

Su Ziye felt a little funny, so he asked, "I thought brother Meng didn't like Daoist Wan very much, but I didn't expect you to care about her so much."

Meng Yang nodded, "I don't like her very much, but after all, she was poisoned because of our Baiwu Temple, so we can't let her hurt her body." He looked softer, and continued: " Also, she kind of looks like...someone who means a lot to me."

Su Ziye asked casually: "It seems that this person who is very important to you is your sweetheart?"

But Meng Yang shook his head, "It's my stepmother—Aunt Xiu. My biological mother passed away early, and my father continued. Aunt Xiu is the most gentle person in the world, and she treats me like a parent and child. It's just...she has Gone."

Su Ziye was taken aback, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, it touched on Brother Meng's sad matter."

Meng Yang didn't care, he waved his hands and said, "It's okay, it's been a long time." He lowered his head again, and said involuntarily, "I miss my father, and I don't know if I haven't gone back yet, will he be in a hurry."

Su Ziye poked the fire with a branch, thought for a while and said, "Brother Meng seems to have a very good relationship with Lingfu."

Meng Yang nodded again and again, "Yes, my father treats me very well. He never beat me since I was a child, and he taught me how to read and write. He also gave me the best food, and I didn't like to practice Taoism when I grew up, and he never forced me. I like jade and he finds the best jade for me. He is different from others. He doesn't think that I'm a plaything, but only encourages me, and I said it doesn’t matter whether it’s cultivating Taoism or playing with jade stones, as long as I’m happy.” He paused as if thinking of something, and laughed, “I remember when I was young, the master who taught me swordsmanship wore a family heirloom jade pendant, I like it very much. No matter how much I begged him, he would not give it to me. Later, my father bought it from that master for twenty times the price and gave it to me to play. As a result, I only played for two days. Be careful to break the jade pendant. I was terrified at the time, for fear that my father would hit me. Unexpectedly, he not only didn’t hit me when he found out, but comforted me, saying that he knew that I liked that jade pendant for so long and accidentally broke it. , I am definitely not happy, let me not be depressed, he will meet a good jade pendant in the future, and then give it to me."

Su Ziye was silent, thinking to himself: "It seems that Meng Yuanfeng is really a good father, but he developed medicine, and I don't know how many lives have been killed." He hesitated for a moment, and said: "Brother Meng, forgive me Chao Yue, I have a question to ask you. If... if Guanzhu Meng did something... bad, what would you do?"

Meng Yang immediately said after hearing this: "My father will not do bad things."

Su Ziye was slightly taken aback. Hearing this answer, he didn't want to ask any more questions. He lowered his head and fell silent again.

But Meng Yang said again: "If he really did something bad, I will persuade him not to do it. If... persuade him not to do it, I..." He stopped talking, but asked: "What about Brother Jian's father? What kind of person?"

Su Ziye said softly: "He is very similar to your father and treats me very well. I was naughty when I was young and did many bad things, and he never beat me. However, he was very strict with me and taught me My martial arts, don't allow me to slack off in the slightest."

Meng Yang said, "That's good. Will brother Jian always think about him?"

Su Ziye smiled, but the smile disappeared quickly, her expression was a little dark, and she said, "Yes, I miss him very much."

Seeing his expression, Meng Yang felt a little at a loss, and quickly said, "Oh, anyway, you're going home in a few days, right? You'll be able to see your father then!"

Su Ziye stared at the fire in front of him, remained silent for a while, and then said, "I can't see him."

Meng Yang asked: "Why? Did you quarrel?" He suddenly thought of something, and asked tentatively, "It has something to do with your bracelet? Is it because you practiced some sorcery?"

Su Ziye remained silent for a long time, then shook his head, his expression returned to normal, and said, "Brother Meng, I haven't practiced sorcery. It's just that I have a stubborn illness and cannot use my internal strength."

Meng Yang tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "Ah? It's so miserable? Doesn't it mean that you can't use your true energy to keep out the cold even if it's cold, and you can't use lightness skills no matter where you go? Also, when fighting with others, you can only fight with moves. ?”

Su Ziye said: "What's so miserable about this? Most ordinary people who don't practice Taoism have lived like this all their lives. I have healthy hands and feet, and I have medical skills. I don't have to worry about food and clothing. I have lived better than most people." It's better."

Meng Yang curled his lips and said nothing.He thinks it's different. People who cultivate martial arts, no matter how bad their skills are, they always hope that one day they can become number one in the world. Who would easily accept that they can no longer use their internal strength?

At this moment, a gust of wind blew past, and the sound of the wind was mixed with a faint whimpering sound. Su Ziye immediately stood up and said sharply, "Quickly put out the fire, something is coming!"

Meng Yang got up quickly when he heard the words, quickly stamped out the fire with his feet, grabbed Su Ziye's sleeve, and said tremblingly, "Brother Jian, brother Jian, what's here?"

Before the words fell, there was a commotion outside the cave, and then one by one, half a foot in size, with cold eyes, and ferocious beasts surrounded them.Su Ziye breathed a sigh of relief and thought: "So it's a jackal." He pushed Meng Yang back and said, "Brother Meng, don't come out, and guard Daoist Wan."

Su Ziye held the bright moon in front of him and left the cave.He looked around carefully, roughly counted the number of jackals, and directly drew out his sword to preempt the enemy, cutting the nearest jackal in half.In an instant, the smell of blood filled the air, and the jackals retreated slightly, as if they were afraid of him, and stopped moving forward.

At this moment, Meng Yang came out of the cave. Seeing this scene, he started to cheer for Su Ziye, "Oh, Brother Jian, you are so amazing! Come on! Beat these bastards to death!"

The jackals immediately gave up on Su Ziye and turned towards Meng Yang.Su Ziye's expression froze, and he flew forward and swung his sword, blocking most of the jackals' attacking routes, leaving only three or four pounced on Meng Yang.

Meng Yang also quickly drew his sword, and said angrily, "You bastards also watch people order food!! Do you think I'm easy to bully!!"

Su Ziye ignored him and concentrated on dealing with the group of jackals in front of him. His sword was fast and accurate, and he killed more than ten jackals in an instant.Meng Yang suddenly yelled behind him, "Brother Jian, brother Jian, help!!!" Turning around, he was crushed by a jackal, his sword was scattered on one side, and only the scabbard was in his hand. It can withstand the attack of jackals.Su Ziye clicked his tongue, raised his hand and threw Mingyue out, the straight blade of the sword with a cold light pierced straight into the belly of the jackal on Meng Yang's body.

Seeing that he had no weapons, the jackals all jumped up and threw themselves on him.Su Ziye smiled lightly, and directly raised his hand to strangle the neck of a jackal in front of him. With a force and a twist, the beast's throat was broken.He took two steps back, swung the dead jackal into Meng Yang's arms, and said, "Brother Meng, go into the cave."

Meng Yang didn't dare to come out to shout anymore, nodded again and again, looked at the jackal in his arms, and asked doubtfully, "Brother Jian, why are you throwing this thing over?"

Su Ziye said without changing his expression, "Dinner."

Meng Yang thought for a moment that he was hallucinating, and wanted to ask again, but saw that Su Ziye was entangled with the jackals again, so he walked into the cave first, holding the beast by the back of the neck.

Although Su Ziye had no weapons, he was still able to do anything with ease. His palms were so sharp and ruthless that the jackals were forced to dare not get close, and they wanted to retreat.Suddenly, beams of white light flashed in the air, and in an instant, sword energy overflowed and descended from the sky, beheading the rest of the jackals instantly.

Su Ziye turned her head abruptly, and blurted out, "Gu Daochang!"

Gu Xianzong came from the other side of the forest, put Anchen in his waist, "Aye, are you alright?"

Su Ziye quickly ran towards him, held his wrist, checked his pulse carefully, and after confirming that there was no miasma in his body, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Gu Daochang, are you alright?"

Gu Xianzong raised his hand to straighten his slightly messy hair, smiled and shook his head, "It's nothing. But you, have you been hurt by the jackals?"

Su Ziye also laughed when he heard the words, "How is it possible, it's just a few animals."

At this time, Meng Yang came out of the cave and said, "You two, no matter what you have, come in and talk."

Su Ziye picked another intact body from the jackal corpses, carried it in his hand and followed Gu Xianzong into the cave.He briefly told Gu Xianzong about the situation after they separated, and told him that Wan Yao had been poisoned by miasma.So he built a fire by himself, borrowed Meng Yang's sword, and skillfully skinned the two jackals.

Meng Yang was dumbfounded when he saw it, and said in disbelief: "Brother Jian, you don't really want to eat this stuff, do you?"

Without even raising her head, Su Ziye inserted the skinned jackal into a branch, put it on the fire, and roasted it casually, "Can't it? It's not poisonous."

Meng Yang's face was full of black lines, "This... this... is it a question of whether it is poisonous or not! Yes... yes... no... who would eat this thing??"

Su Ziye smiled and said, "If you're hungry, you'll eat."

Meng Yang stiffened his neck and vowed, "Impossible! I won't eat even if I starve to death!"

Su Ziye didn't answer, just continued to roast the jackal meat. After a while, the meat smelled everywhere in the cave, and the jackal meat on the fire was dripping with oil, very tempting.Meng Yang smelled it and his stomach growled.Seeing this, Su Ziye handed him the roasted meat in his hand, and said with a smile, "Look, I've said it all, I'll eat it when I'm hungry."

While gnawing on the jackal meat, Meng Yang said unrelentingly, "It's not like you'll eat anything when you're hungry! No matter how hungry you are, you won't eat stinky meat!"

Su Ziye put another jackal on the fire, and said casually, "Yes. Not only stinky meat, but also rotten rice and rotten fruit..."

Meng Yang waved his hands again and again, looking like he was about to throw up, "Don't...don't talk about it, don't talk about such things while eating..."

Su Ziye raised his eyes and smiled, then turned his head and saw Gu Xianzong's face was very gloomy, and said hastily: "Gu Daochang doesn't want to eat the meat of this beast either? Why don't I go out and see if there are any wild fruits to satisfy my hunger? "

When Meng Yang heard it, he said angrily: "Don't be so partial! I said I don't want to eat it, but you still let me eat it! Daoist Gu doesn't want to eat it, so you have to go out to pick fruit?!"

Su Ziye glared at him, got up and walked out of the cave, and said, "Brother Meng, what you said is wrong. I think this jackal meat tastes delicious to you."

Gu Xianzong grabbed Su Ziye's wrist, "I don't despise this meat, it's just... I think Aye had a hard life before."

Su Ziye was stunned, and after a while he came back to his senses, and said calmly: "It's okay... I didn't tell the Taoist priest that although I was a little beggar at the time, I was taken in by Hall Master Yan soon."

Gu Xianzong pulled him to sit down, took the jackal meat and roasted it like him, and for a while there was only the crackling sound of the campfire burning in the cave.After a while, he handed the roasted meat to Su Ziye, and said softly, "I wish I could get to know Aye sooner."

This sentence was said softly, but Su Ziye still heard it.He understood when Gu Xianzong said "early", and felt a little sour in his heart.He divided the jackal meat in his hand into two halves, handed it to Gu Xianzong, and said, "I think it's good to know each other now. If I didn't have those experiences, I wouldn't be the 'me' I am now. Perhaps, Gu Dao I don’t want to be friends with me anymore.”

Gu Xianzong said softly: "No."

Su Ziye shook his head, and said firmly: "Yes. Although I haven't known the Taoist priest for a long time, I also understand the Taoist priest's likes and dislikes. If you meet the twelve or thirteen-year-old me, you will feel extremely bored. After all At that time, my heart was higher than the sky, and I didn't like anyone, and I still had a lot of complaints in my heart." He paused, and then said: "Perhaps in the eyes of the Taoist priest, my downfall is my misfortune, but in my eyes, Those experiences are all my luck.”

"Although I encountered many setbacks when I left home and regretted not being able to be with my family, I still have no regrets. Those pains and humiliations are very precious things in my life."

Meng Yang immediately applauded after hearing this, "Oh, I found that brother Jian is really good! I have decided that from today on, brother Jian will be the guide in my life!"

Su Ziye rubbed his forehead, and said helplessly, "Brother Meng, stop joking, and eat meat with peace of mind."

Meng Yang didn't give up, and quickly said: "I'm not joking! I'm serious, I really treat you as..."

Su Ziye interrupted him directly, turned to Gu Xianzong and said, "The Taoist priest must have seen the weirdness of this forest, is there a way to break through?"

Gu Xianzong nodded, "The spiritual power contained in this formation is average, and there are not too many restrictions. We just need to find the eye of the formation and destroy it."

Su Ziye said: "Okay, it's late today, let's just make do with the night here, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Meng Yang interjected, "Huh? Do you want to stay here overnight?? I want to go home!"

Gu Xianzong ignored him, found a clean corner and laid straw on it, and said, "Come and rest after you finish eating."

Su Ziye didn't pay attention to Meng Yang, just said: "Okay, I'll take care of you."

Meng Yang couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Don't ignore me!!"
