withered prosperity

According to the rules, all the disciples in the courtyard who drank the Sangong medicine will be sent to the foot of the mountain after [-] days, if they ask someone to talk about it, the stars can only stay for [-] more days.

"Yan Hai, come with me!" Xingmang looked at him anxiously.

Yan Hai was eating with him at the table in front of the window, thinking about the account entry and exit in the warehouse, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"I have money." Xingmang said to him hastily: "I still have a lot of banknotes in my hand, which is always enough to pay for the redemption contract, and then the two of them returned to Wanzhou."

"No, young master misunderstood, I did not sign a death contract." Yan Hai gave him a steamed fish with chopsticks.

"Then you come with me!" Xingmang bit her lip: "You go back to Wanzhou with me, and I will definitely treat you very well!"

"Young master has such a heart, I am very happy." Yan Hai smiled at him: "It's just that I made an appointment with someone to meet here. In the world, a husband needs to make a promise. How could I leave like this?"

"You have been on this mountain for more than ten years!" Xingmang was anxious, and said indiscriminately: "That person must be dead, even if he is not dead, he will not come, why don't you wait until you die of old age?"

Yan Hai's face turned pale for a moment, and his fingers holding the chopsticks tightened.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xingmang felt that he had said something wrong, and quickly reached out to pull his sleeve.

"Yan Hai, I'm talking nonsense, don't be angry!"

"It's okay, young master." Yan Hai smiled slightly: "It's only been seven years since I was on the mountain. How can it be as long as ten years?"

"Just follow me!" Xingmang still didn't give up: "We can ask someone to bring a message, saying that you have returned to Wanzhou with me. If that person comes, you will know soon!"

"Young master, don't make trouble." Yan Hai pulled the sleeve out of his hand, and took a small bowl to serve him soup.

"Yan Hai... I'm afraid..." Xingmang lowered his head, tears dripping into the bowl in front of him: "My uncle and third uncle are very bad, they will definitely bully me, and maybe they will secretly treat me Killed, I was really scared."

"Chaomu Pavilion also has property in Wanzhou. I am an old acquaintance with the manager over there. I will greet him and take good care of you." Yan Hai sighed and reached out to touch his head: "Don't worry, he He is a powerful person, and he will definitely be able to protect you."

Although he spoke softly, Xingmang knew that he refused to leave, and felt so wronged for a moment, big tears dripped down his face.

Even when he drank the Sangong medicine, he didn't shed a single tear... But this didn't soften Yan Hai's heart, he just handed over a handkerchief silently, and didn't even say nice things to coax himself.

"I'm going to work in the warehouse." Yan Hai cleaned up the table after eating, "Eat some more, and I'll ask Xiaoran to collect the bowls and chopsticks later."

Starlight watched him walk out.

Later, Xingmang raised it a few more times, but was rejected by Yan Hai, so he probably knew that the request was hopeless, so he became more and more silent day by day.He felt that he had lowered his posture to the minimum, even to the point of begging, but Yan Hai, who was usually gentle and kind, refused to agree no matter what, and couldn't help feeling a little bit resentful under his discouragement.

The weather was fine that day, after breakfast, Yan Hai carried him to the spring bench in the yard to bask in the sun, covered him with a bedding, during this period, Xingmang refused to look at him or answer his words, he felt so helpless , but there was nothing he could do, and hurried away after a few instructions as usual.

Xingmang glared at his back, and curled up under the quilt.

Can we see each other for a few more days, why is this person always so busy, can't he just spend time with me?

But soon, he heard footsteps again, and the sound came from far to near, and stopped in front of him.

Just when he thought it was Yan Hai who was worried and returned, Xingmang heard the man laugh softly.

"Xingmang." The man stood by the spring bench, slightly bent over and talked to him: "Are you feeling better?"

Xingmang recognized whose voice it was, and couldn't help but sink in his heart.

"Are you feeling bad?" He just lay there without any reaction, and the visitor didn't take it for granted, and said, "I'm so anxious..."

"That's enough!" Xingmang poked his head out from under the quilt, staring fiercely at the visitor: "What are you doing here?"

Standing in front of him, the boy looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, with handsome facial features, especially a natural smile, even if he looked a little sad, his eyes were crooked. It is not difficult to see that in a few years, he must be a handsome and romantic person .

"Don't be angry with me, didn't I just happen to be away? As soon as I got the news, I rushed back as fast as possible!" The boy sat down on the spring bench and bowed down towards him Body: "Don't worry, I won't let anyone who hurt you go."

When he said this, he deliberately lowered his voice, and said it so softly, Xingmang suddenly felt his heart tremble.

"You go!" He tightened the quilt, with a stern voice: "I don't want to see you!"

"Xingmang..." The man's eyes seemed to be glistening after being treated so fiercely by him.

"Yin Zhan, stay away from me!" Xingmang stepped back again: "Didn't I make it clear to you last time, anyway, we are no longer friends, you don't need to worry about my affairs .”

"I never promised." Yin Zhan blinked his eyes, as if suppressing his dissatisfaction: "Didn't I tell you that no one except me here will treat you sincerely? Has anyone been harmed?"

"I have Yan Hai!" Xingmang blurted out.

"Yan Hai?" Yin Zhan sneered, "It's just a slave."

"Get lost!" Xingmang was finally irritated, he lifted the quilt and was about to hit him, completely forgetting that he had lost his internal strength, halfway through the fist he fell over.

Yin Zhan hugged the man in his arms even with the quilt.

"Okay, stop making trouble." He put on a posture to coax the child: "I have arranged for someone to wait at the foot of the mountain. When you return to Wanzhou, those from the Li family will not dare to bully you."

"No need!" Xingmang pushed him away, with disdain in his eyes: "I know Mr. Zhan, you are bored, and you like to make fun of an orphan like me. It is very sad to say that I was driven down the mountain , but thinking that I will never have to see your hypocritical appearance again, I don’t think it’s all a bad thing.”

Yin Zhan finally sank his face.

"I've already told you that things are not what you think." No matter how thoughtful he is, he is only a half-grown child, and with such an identity, even if he values ​​Xingmang in his heart, he still can't stand the repeated ridicule: "Okay, let's not talk about the past for now! But at this point, why do you refuse my kindness?"

"Then shouldn't I kneel down and thank you for your kindness?" Xingmang looked at him coldly, "I appreciate your kindness, but it's just too high for me, so please go back!"

"You..." Yin Zhan took a deep breath and suppressed the evil fire in his heart: "No matter what, we have had friendship for so many years, you have to believe that I won't..."

"Yes, you won't harm me." Xingmang waved his hand, motioning him to step back: "It's just for fun!"

"Li Xingmang!" Yin Zhan couldn't bear it any longer, and was about to change his face.

"This... is Mr. Zhan?"

"Yan Hai!" Xingmang immediately sat up straight.

Seeing that Xingmang's impatience towards him turned into joy, Yin Zhan's eyes sank, but he still restrained the emotion on his face, turned around with a smile on his face.

"Guard Yan." He said sincerely, "It's thanks to you taking care of Xingmang these days, otherwise he would have suffered even more."
