How can I be broken by the son of my old enemy?

Yu Yan bit the bullet and walked with Han Ba, feeling very reluctant in his heart, but he had to appear happy on the surface.

"Brother Zheng Yu, is there anything you want to buy?"

Han Ba ​​walked in front with his hands behind his back, seeing that Yu Yan was gradually falling behind, he stopped and waited for him.

Yu Yan originally wanted to buy a few sticks of incense and some fruits and meat for sacrifices, but he couldn't be known by others, so he shook his head, "I'm just bored, I just come out to play casually, I don't have anything to buy."

Han Ba ​​looked at him with a smile, like an elder looking at a junior, "Brother Zheng Yu doesn't look like a businessman, why did he come to Cold City?"

Yu Yan knew that he would be asked this question a long time ago. It is true that he came to the border of Hancheng alone to arouse people's suspicion, so he had already planned his speech and was not afraid of being asked.

"My family is doing business, and I have some money. My parents wanted me to be an official. I asked my husband to teach me poetry and books since I was a child, but reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. When I was an adult, I started to travel and study, and I was inspired to travel all over the world. "

Han Ba ​​nodded, "Good ambition." He looked at Yu Yan again, as if he couldn't speak, "Brother Zheng Yu has a tender face...is he already an adult?"

A man becomes an adult when he is sixteen, and Yu Yan is now sixteen, but his face is tender, which always makes people suspect that he is not old enough.

Yu Yan gritted his teeth, "Although I don't look old enough, I'm almost seventeen, and I'm already an adult." In fact, he is more than seventeen, but now his body is obviously not up to the state when he was 22 years old, so he made it up according to the current situation. Got a young one.

Han Ba ​​chuckled, "I don't mean to offend you, but I can't help being curious about the tenderness of little brother Zheng Yu's face."

"No problem." Yu Yan also showed indifference, it would be too petty to be angry because of this matter.

The two turned a corner and entered another street. This street was mostly selling food, and there were more people than the previous street.

20 years ago, because of the war, Hancheng was very depressed, day and night, no one went out unless necessary, but now it has changed so much.

Yu Yan couldn't help sighing, "I didn't expect the border city to be so prosperous. It's really unexpected."

There are so many people on the street that collisions are inevitable. Han Ba ​​compared Yan to being half a head taller and bigger than him, so he protected him by his side, "Be careful, everyone here is tall and big. You are the one who suffers."

They stood up in front of a store, "Brother Zheng Yu is alone, it must be the first time he has come to Hancheng, and he is not familiar with Hancheng. I have stayed in Hancheng for several years, and I am still familiar with the big and small markets here. If you don’t mind, I’ll just introduce you.”

After he said that, what else could Yu Yan say, he could only agree.

"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it."

Han Ba's bronze-colored skin, the traces of time can be seen in the corners of his eyes and face, but he looks heroic and has an extraordinary demeanor, which naturally attracted a lot of attention when he walked on the street.

Yu Yan now has a baby face, which is extraordinarily good-looking. Wearing plain white brocade clothes, he obediently follows Han Ba's side, which is lovable and attracts a lot of attention.

"You two gentlemen, are you passing through the cold city for business?" A rough voice came from the store, "Although our cold city is hot in the daytime, it is very cold at night, don't you want to buy a big cotton coat?"

Both Han Ba ​​and Yu Yan were taken aback, but Han Ba ​​came to his senses first, and laughed loudly, "Boss, you don't have a good eye for business, I don't look like this young master no matter what, so how could they be father and son? "

The man knew that he had made a mistake, and apologized again and again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I only made a mistake because I think the two of you are noble people."

Yu Yan is helpless, he and Han Ba ​​seem to be misunderstood as father and son now, he can't help but think in his heart, he is the same age as Han Ba, they have a good relationship, 20 years ago when walking on the street they were often mistaken as Brother, I didn't expect to be mistaken for father and son again 20 years later.

It's okay to be mistaken for brothers, but it's embarrassing for him to be mistaken for father and son.

However, Han Ba ​​was obviously not embarrassed, and was a little happy. Instead, he dragged Yu Yan into the store, "I see that you are wearing thin clothes, and you don't have any cotton-padded clothes in your luggage. Just buy a cotton-padded coat to keep out the cold."

He turned his head and said to the boss, "I found a few suits for this young master. Since I was mistaken for father and son, I can't admit it in vain. I will give this young man a cotton coat."

"No...no need." Yu Yan was dragged into the shop by him, and he stuffed several cotton coats into his hands. There was no room for him to refuse, and he finally had to choose one before giving up.

Yu Yan walked out of the store with a cotton coat in his arms, lowered his head and said thank you repeatedly.

Han Ba ​​was the same age as him. Both of them were 15 years old when they came to Hancheng to defend the city. They were a matchmaker, so Han Ba ​​was alone until he committed suicide in the city.

However, Han Ba ​​is now middle-aged, and Wen Renge even has children after 20 years, so it is impossible for him to be childless.Yu Yan thought to himself that maybe he was so enthusiastic about him because of the boss's mistaken recognition of his own children.

The two went to another place to look. Yu Yan also wanted to know more about Han Ba's current situation, so he took the initiative to talk to him.

"Mr. Han is hale and hearty, he must have both sons and daughters."

Han Ba ​​didn't react too much to his words, he just talked to him while walking, "Do you think I look like a person with both sons and daughters?"

Yu Yan's heart tightened, "Mr. Han is in such good health, and he has a good apprentice like Chu Li, and his sons and daughters are also outstanding, so why can't he be a person with both sons and daughters?"

Han Ba ​​shook his head.

"Then only the son?"

Han Ba ​​continued to shake his head.

"Then only the daughter?"

Han Ba ​​shook his head again, "I'm alone, with no attachments. No wives, no children. If you have children, how can you travel to this border?"

He spoke easily, and Yu Yan was shocked when he heard it, and the sourness in his heart couldn't be stopped.

"Let's walk around again."

Han Ba ​​seemed to be getting closer to him. He took him all over the streets and bought him whatever children liked to eat and play with. He really treated him like a child.

It wasn't until nightfall that the market dispersed and the two returned to the inn.

"Today...thank you so much." As the weather turned cold, Yu Yan put on the cotton padded jacket, and Yu Yan held candied haws in one hand and small sticky cakes in the other, while Han Ba ​​was holding the rest.

"master."

Chu Li was the only person sitting in the empty inn. As soon as the two entered the door, they heard Chu Li's gloomy voice.

Han Ba's smiling face suddenly froze, without the slightest hint of a smile, and his voice became cold, "What's the matter?" If it weren't for the things in his hands, Yu Yan would have thought that there was a different person in front of him.

Chu Li stood up and stared at Yu Yan, "Did you know him before?"

"No." Han Ba ​​denied without hesitation, "Little brother Zheng Yu and I just hit it off."

Yu Yan felt uncomfortable being stared at by him, thinking to himself, Han Ba ​​had no children, only Chu Li was his apprentice, he must have raised Chu Li as his son, and the relationship between the two must be very good.Now that Han Ba ​​is so close to him, Chu Li might be unhappy seeing it.

"Here you are," he forced the remaining candied haws and sticky cakes into Chu Li's hands, "I bought them for you." He thought that Chu Li was only seventeen or eighteen years old, so he might love this.

He clapped his hands, took the things in Han Ba's hands, and thanked him again, "Thank you Mr. Han today, I am very happy." After speaking, he went upstairs, leaving the master and apprentice to talk.

Back in the room, his face couldn't help but collapsed again. After putting away his things, he fell down on the table from exhaustion, and picked up the mirror to look at his current face again.

"Is it really that tender? To be mistaken for father and son, Han Ba ​​is really... oh," he sighed deeply. He never imagined that Han Ba ​​came here alone for the past 20 years. of.

·

The door of the inn has been closed, the moonlight outside is like a bone, the wind is howling, the inn is dark without a ray of light.

Han Ba ​​was sitting while Chu Li was standing.

"What's the matter?" Han Ba's voice did not contain any emotion, only endless coldness, which was completely different from when he was with Yu Yan during the day.

Chu Li's eyes were fixed in the air, "You have known Yu Yan for many years, and you are the person who is most familiar with him in this world. Do you know what kind of person he is?"

"Why do you suddenly ask like that?"

Although the two are masters and apprentices, he is not close to Chu Li except for teaching Chu Li martial arts. One is because of Chu Sun, and the other is because of Wen Renyi. Both of them are people he does not like. Yan he would never interact with these two people, let alone teach Chu Li martial arts.

Chu Liyin thought for a while in the dark, "I'm going to worship him in a few days, I want to know more about him."

Han Ba ​​didn't speak anymore, and passed by Chu Li, and when Chu Li thought he would not answer again, his voice came to his ears, "What kind of person is he, I have told you a hundred times, a thousand times , the answer is still the same, and it will not change.”

"He saved your entire Li tribe, you regarded him as a god, and now the whole world also regards him as a god."

He turned around with his hands behind his back and said loudly, "I even thought so before I met him, but after I got to know him, I realized that he is just a mortal, a real mortal." After he finished speaking, he went back to the room, leaving Chu Li alone In the hall.

Chu Li stood there for a long time before moving his body.

He clutched the collection of poems on his chest, and his whole body was burning hot. From childhood to adulthood, no matter whether it was his mother, concubine or uncle, they all said that Yu Yan was a god, a god descended to them from heaven, which could never be touched. So he can only look up.

But the more he understood, the hotter he became, the more intense the fire in his heart burned. He desperately longed to be in contact with Yu Yan, even if he only touched something that Yu Yanchen had touched, his heart would be surging.

So he disregarded his mother's objection, left the fief, abandoned the responsibility of being king, searched all over the world and wanted to get closer to him, even if it was just a little bit, his heart would tremble with excitement.

He longed for and searched for countless times, just wanting to find some proof that Yu Yan had lived and existed, to explain to himself that Yu Yan was not just a symbol of a god.

His weak voice was clear even in the silence, "God is untouchable, so if you are a mortal, can you touch him?"
