Anecdotes with facial paralyzed subordinates

Yan Ke sat on the stone bench under the pine tree in Yuhuzhuang and lost his mind.

The weather is clear and sunny, and the shadows of pine needles are mottled on the bluestone.There are a few more children in the villa, who are being led by Yan Jin to meditate with their eyes closed in the open space.

Zhao Xuehan pushed open the gate of the villa, walked in swaggeringly, saw Yan Ke, and threw a bag of things into his arms.

"Here, you asked me to bring it." Zhao Xuehan said.

Yan Ke opened it and took a look, it was black plum and caramel.He nodded his thanks and put the things away carefully.

Zhao Xuehan looked at him squintingly: "You don't eat these things, so you always bother me to do something."

Yan Ke didn't answer, but turned to look at the little boy who was meditating beside him.Seeing that he ignored her as before, Zhao Xuehan smiled and moved closer to Yan Ke.

"Tell me the truth." He said, "Do you miss him? Are you looking forward to him coming to see you?"

Zhao Xuehan has asked these few words countless times.Yan Ke has long been too lazy to respond to him.

Zhao Xuehan was not angry if he didn't get Yan Ke's eyes, and he still sat on the side talking to him.

"Have you used the thing I gave you?" Zhao Xuehan raised his eyes, "Isn't it particularly good?"

He reached into the skirt of his clothes, took out some things, and stuffed them into Yan Ke's hands.

"I'm afraid you don't have enough, so I'll give you some more." He said.

Yan Ke looked at the things in his hand, but did not refuse.He moved his eyes and finally glanced at Zhao Xuehan.

"Sapphire has a good memory." He said, "Why do you think I need this kind of thing."

"What you think in your head is different from what you see with your eyes." Zhao Xuehan said, "You will understand after using it."

Yan Ke was silent for a while, then stood up with clenched fists.He returned to the room, closed the door, and opened his palm, in which lay a few wisdom stones like pomegranates.

Yan Ke took out a box, put the wisdom stones in it, and took out a few more at the same time.He lightly rubbed the surface of the stone, and light and shadow gradually appeared in the center of the room.Du Sumu stood in the middle of the room, with curved eyebrows and gentle and playful expression.

"The benefactor's illness is also common," he shook his head and said softly with a smile.

"It's just... lovesickness."

Looking at the image of Du Sumu, Yan Ke couldn't help but smile slightly at the corners of his mouth that was always tense.

Zhao Xuehan was right.The memory in the brain is different from what is seen in the eyes after all.Yan Ke, in the memories and images left by Huishi, seems to have really returned to those peaceful and gentle days.

Those scenes are too nostalgic, but Yan Ke also clearly knows that he will never go back to the past.All of this is nothing more than a consolation in the pale and depressing time when Yuhu Manor took care of Zhao Xuehan.

Yan Ke will never know when Zhao Xuehan will clear up his grievances and when Du Sumu will come to him.

He's starting to regret it now.If he had held the brass bell that Du Sumu gave him back then, he would have thought about it more or less.

Zhao Xuehan is active by nature, trapped in a small world in Yuhuzhuang, it is far from satisfying him.He went out of the city frequently, but Yan Ke forbade him at first.Seeing that the prohibition was useless, he followed secretly, for fear that he would cause some trouble.

But he is quite honest, he only wanders around the nearby villages, and he does not forget to change his appearance.Yan Ke saw him like this, so he let him go.

Yan Ke took a piece of sapphire from the village to Zhao Xuehan.He changed the sword formation in the forest, if Zhao Xuehan couldn't crack it, he could walk back holding the sapphire.If you encounter danger outside, you can also summon him through sapphire.

During this period of time, Zhao Xuehan went out to play again.In the village, apart from taking care of the jade swords, Yan Ke reads ancient books or is in a daze.

On this day, when he unfolded the scroll under the ancient pine, he suddenly felt a little strange.The woods outside the village seemed to be slightly turbulent.

This feeling made Yan Ke's heartstrings fluctuate strangely.

"Master, what's the matter?" Yan Jin who was on the side keenly sensed Yan Ke's emotions.Yan Ke closed the scroll.

"Someone broke the sword array." He said, "I'll check the situation. You let the others go back to the house. Don't move around without my order."

Yan Jin nodded cautiously, beckoning the boy to hide in the room.Yan Ke left the village.He jumped up lightly, and stood silently on the top of the tree, watching the person who entered the bamboo forest.

The formation seemed very simple to that person.However, every step of his actions reveals a little indecision.When the formation was about to be broken, he looked in the direction of Yuhuzhuang in the forest and hesitated obviously.

The dissipated spell immediately took advantage of the moment he hesitated, turned into a sharp edge, and cut towards him.The man quickly dodged sideways, but a bloody gash was still drawn on his cheek.

He didn't go to wipe it, and after breaking the formation, he didn't go to the villa, but just hesitated in place.

Yan Ke looked at him, jumping wildly like a carp in his chest, and the water splashed everywhere.His throat was dry, and it seemed that countless words were eager to pour out, but when he opened his mouth, he spoke insincerely.

"Since the battle is broken, what are you doing here?" He said, "You don't want to see me so much?"

Du Sumu raised his eyes, Yan Ke's figure was imprinted in those eyes, and he was stunned again.A few drops of blood fell from the wound on his cheek without noticing it.

Yan Ke watched and frowned slightly.He jumped down from the treetop and landed next to Du Sumu, and gently wiped away the blood on the wound with his fingers.

Du Sumu looked at Yan Ke, his gaze moved like water, but moved away with the slight trembling of his eyelashes.

Yan Ke's fingertips rubbed against his cheek.The healing effect of sapphire makes the blood of the wound coagulate quickly.However, Yan Ke noticed that the tip of Du Sumu's ear turned red quietly at some point.

"Okay." He whispered, gently brushing Yan Ke's hand away, "It's just a small injury."

Yan Ke pursed her lips and kept her hands in the air.Seeing him like this, Du Sumu blinked slightly.

"I kind of... miss you and Zhao Xuehan." He said frankly, his eyes were as clear as a mirror, but the tips of his ears were a little red, "but I was afraid that you would still blame me, so I didn't dare to go to the village."

"This time I am walking alone, very careful, no one is following behind me." He said softly, "I will also help you repair the broken sword array. Don't worry about any bad people."

"So..." He looked up at Yan Ke cautiously, the sunlight among the leaves fell in his eyes like scattered stars, making Yan Ke a little dazzled.

"Can you invite me to sit in the village for a while?"

Yan Ke stared blankly at Du Sumu for a moment, then took his hand without thinking.Du Sumu looked a little surprised, the temperature on his hand became hotter, but he didn't break free.

Yan Ke led Du Sumu into the gate of the villa, and the little boy in the room quietly looked out.The older ones immediately recognized Du Sumu, and ran out happily regardless of Yan Ke's order not to go out.

Yan Jin knew Du Sumu well when he was just born, and he was very happy to see him.He has a stable nature and didn't express much. He just picked up the teapot and volunteered to boil water to make tea.

Yan Ke led Du Sumu to sit on the stone bench under the ancient pine.Du Sumu greeted the little boy, and distributed the candy he brought with him to them.

"There are a lot of new children here." Du Sumu looked at those young jade swords and couldn't help laughing, "It's much more lively."

Yan Ke nodded.He took out the candied pastry that Zhao Xuehan had brought back and placed it on the stone table beside him.

Du Sumu's attention was not here.He looked left and right, and since he entered the gate of the villa, he didn't take his eyes off for a moment.Finally, after several searches, he couldn't help asking Yan Ke: "Where is Zhao Xuehan?"

Yan Ke wanted to ask Du Sumu how he was doing these few days, but unexpectedly, he just asked about Zhao Xuehan's whereabouts, and he couldn't help feeling a little unhappy.

"Going out." He simply replied.

"Going out?" When Du Sumu heard this, the smile on his face disappeared immediately. "Where did you go?" He asked, looking a little anxious, "How could you let him go out!"

The joy that had just sprouted in Yan Ke's heart suddenly cooled down.

"Did you come here just to see Zhao Xuehan?" After a moment of silence, he whispered.

"Yan Ke." There was reprimand in Du Sumu's voice, "Stop being like a child, always getting into trouble."

"You should understand that the reason I sent him to Jade Tiger Manor was to let him hide well. Zhao Xuehan should have been executed in the eyes of the world, how could you let him go out and wander around at will!"

Yan Ke pursed her lips tightly and looked at Du Sumu silently.Du Sumu sighed lightly.

"Tell me, where is he now?" he said.

Yan Ke didn't speak, but looked away.The sapphire he gave to Zhao Xuehan, he has another one in his hand.If you want to know Zhao Xuehan's location, you can immediately find it through Qingyu.

But facing Du Sumu at the moment, he didn't want to say anything.The joy I felt when I saw this person for the first time today has long since turned into deep disappointment.

Du Sumu stared at Yan Ke, seeing that he had been silent for a long time, he stood up.

"That's all." He said softly, "I'll go find him myself."

After that, he turned and left.Yan Ke didn't ask him to stay, and he didn't look at his back, only heard the sound of the gate of the villa, and there was silence all around.

Xiao Yujian around didn't know what happened, and the guest who had just arrived suddenly left.They stared curiously, but they didn't dare to go forward and ask the owner who had a cloudy complexion.

Yan Jin came over with a teacup in his hand, seeing Yan Ke sitting under the tree alone, he couldn't help but look around, and then asked, "Where is Master Du?"

Yan Ke waved his hands irritably, got up and went back to the room without answering.Yan Jin was left to look at each other with a group of children.

When night fell, Yan Ke heard noises outside the house, looked around and found that it was Zhao Xuehan who had returned.Seeing him leisurely opening the gate of the village alone and wandering around inside the wall, Yan Ke couldn't help frowning and went outside the house.

"Are you alone?" He stopped Zhao Xuehan and asked, "Did you meet him?"

Zhao Xuehan was taken aback for a moment. "Who?" He asked first, and then reacted.

"Du Sumu has been here?" Zhao Xuehan looked a little surprised, which is rare, "You want to see him so much, why didn't you keep him in the village for a while?"

Hearing this, Yan Ke's mouth unconsciously clenched into a slit.

"Seeing that you were not here, he went to look for you." Yan Ke said coldly.

Zhao Xuehan narrowed his eyes, shook his head, and sighed pretendingly.

"That's really unfortunate." He said, "I guess he and I missed it. But if Du Sumu didn't find me, he would definitely go back to the village."

He put his hands behind his head and looked at Yan Ke with a smile: "When the time comes, you can keep him overnight. Let him sleep in your room."

"I'll advise him to be more frank, and you don't have to be awkward. You two, hurry up and explain everything that needs to be said."
