two ears pricked up

The carriage passed slowly through the streets, with the sound of pattering hooves, and the shouts of the peddlers were isolated from the curtain of the carriage. Three people and one dog sat at each end of the spacious carriage, Huo Zheng and Bai Xi listened intently to Mr. Changzhen's explanation of Xingwu The matter of the hospital.

Xingwu Academy has been established for a hundred years. Ten years ago, a national martial arts champion was selected in the National Examination. So far, Xingwu Academy has become famous.

People with a heart for martial arts come here one after another. When the martial arts college recruits new students every two years, the martial arts students who come to sign up can line up from the gate of the Xingwu college along the street. Compared with the promotion hall, the formation is very spectacular.

Most of the children in ordinary people's families do not have the conditions to study in private schools. They spend money everywhere on pens, inks, papers and inkstones, not to mention brains.

But learning martial arts is different. Young people enter the fields early, and they have been beaten by wind, frost and rain. They have strong muscles and bones since they were young.

Xingwuyuan recruits more and more martial arts students every year, and the venue of the martial arts academy needs to be expanded every year. After there are more martial arts students, troubles follow.

There are a lot of people, and most of the people who enter the martial arts academy are farmers' children, with fierce and wild temperaments, like wild horses that do not obey discipline, and military students are recruited once every two years. Bloody fights outside the gate are uncommon. Again, hot-blooded young people can't stand the slightest provocation, but Xingwu Academy doesn't drive them away.

The School of Martial Arts adheres to the principle of "making friends with martial arts, conquering people with martial arts, and not fighting weak Confucians". If martial arts students have disputes, both parties will set up a ring to fight a few times, and whoever wins is the truth.

Therefore, there are many martial arts masters who are dissatisfied with the martial arts masters. Every year, the martial arts masters who are angry with the martial arts masters leave one by one. If you want to discipline these martial arts students, you must be ready to accept their challenge at any time and convince them. , will obey discipline.

Mr. Changzhen sighed, looked at Huo Zheng and said: "I think you are good at martial arts, and you can also scare people with your temper. The monthly money that Xingwuyuan gives to martial arts masters is not low. If you can stay there, why do you have to worry about it?" sad."

Hearing what Mr. said, Huo Zheng was indeed shaken.Now that he is no longer alone, he has to think more about the future life of him and Bai Xi.

Mr. Changzhen said again: "The dean of the Xingwuyuan is an old friend of mine for many years. I recommend it for you. Whether you can gain a foothold in the Wuyuan depends on yourself."

Huo Zheng nodded, "Let me think about it for another two days."

Mr. Changzhen was not in a hurry, he knew that Huo Zheng would definitely agree to this matter, his eyes swept back and forth between Huo Zheng and Bai Xi, his insightful eyes were like a mirror, and he saw that the relationship between the two was extraordinary, showing a touch of emotional smile .

-

Back in the compound, Lan Po saw the wound on Huo Zheng's face, and asked them what happened with distress.Huo Zheng didn't want her to worry, so he made up an excuse. Heizhu ran around the yard, as if venting his accumulated violence, and when he was tired from running, he lay down in its nest, sticking out his tongue and panting non-stop.

Lan Po reluctantly believed what Huo Zheng said, and took the broom to clean the yard.When Huo Zheng entered the room, the roots of his ears blushed because of the lie just now.

His clothes were torn a few times during the fight, and he was about to find out another set to change when the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

Bai Xi entered the room, Huo Zheng was half naked with his back facing him.Without waiting for the other party to make a move, he rushed over and bumped into Huo Zheng's body, hugged his broad back tightly, and rubbed his cheek against his tensed shoulder.

The palms of his hands were carelessly groping on his firm waist, Huo Zheng wanted to pull him in front of him, but he felt a little warmth from his shoulders.

"noob."

His whole body was stiff, and he clenched his thin white hands, "Don't cry."

Tears were dripping down like dropped beads, Bai Xi felt uneasy, just crying was not enough, she opened her mouth and bit Huo Zheng's meat, a bite of hard meat fell into her mouth, wishing to bite it out and chew it tightly to discourage her stomach.

Huo Zheng didn't struggle for a moment, and quietly let him bite, until a few red tooth marks were bitten on his shoulder, and Bai Xi let go, tears finally stopped in his eyes, seeing the deep tooth marks, he felt very sad. Soon red again.

Like a wounded little animal, the throat overflowed with sad whimpers.

Not caring about getting dressed, Huo Zheng grasped Bai Xi's arm tightly, brought him in front of him, sat on the bed, and pulled him to sit on his lap.Gently rubbing his fingertips along the moist eye sockets, he shed tears again after wiping them dry. Huo Zheng let him cry softly, patiently wiping him repeatedly.

"clank……"

Bai Xi raised her legs and curled up in Huo Zheng's arms, as if she was exhausted from crying, with a downcast look.

Looking up at the bruises on Huo Zheng's face with his wet eyes, he choked up a bit, lowered Huo Zheng's head, like an animal would lick a wound when it was injured, and the tip of his tongue ran along the wounded spot on the other's face. Gently lick the place.

He hugged Huo Zheng's neck tightly, put his mouth against his ear, and whispered, "Don't get hurt."

With eyes redder than rabbits wide open, he took Huo Zheng's hand and put it on his chest, rubbing it, "I don't feel well here, Zhengzheng, what do you think is wrong with me? Is it because of you that it hurts?"

Huo Zheng's lips moved, seeing that he was suddenly speechless, but his two arms hugged him tightly.

Bai Xi's hurt and ignorant look was like a knife cutting his heart and made him feel uncomfortable. He would rather Bai Xi never realize this and be a carefree person.

"……clank?"

Huo Zheng shook his head, took his thin white hand and rubbed it against his cheek, and kissed along his fingers one by one, "I will definitely not let myself get hurt in the future."

Only by not hurting himself can Bai Xiyin be spared from crying.

The two hugged on the bed for a while, Huo Zheng moved his hands, "Xiaobai, can you let me change my clothes first."

Bai Xiao's buttocks didn't move, he pulled his hand back and loosened it around his waist again, Huo Zheng could only continue to hug him, remembering something, he asked: "Just outside the yamen, what do you mean by the groom?" ?”

Only then did Bai Xi think of this, and said: "Five days later, all the students in the library will go to Milu Mountain for a spring outing, and they will have to stay in the mountain overnight."

Huo Zheng's eyebrows twitched, "One night?"

Bai Xi hugged him and muttered, "I don't want to be separated from you."

Huo Zheng never thought, he had heard a little about Milu Mountain, non-high-ranking officials and nobles were strictly forbidden to set foot there, there were people guarding it for several miles around, so he was worried that Bai Xi would stay in the mountain overnight.

Bai Xi looked at him carefully, "Clang, Fang Zichen said, we set off in a carriage, and the library will recruit several grooms to drive in the carriage. You will go there with me, okay?"

He yearned and said: "Fang Zichen said that the deer there are as beautiful as fairy deer. I haven't seen animals in the mountains for a long time."

He came out of the deep mountain, even though there were fierce beasts rampant inside, and these weak wild animals could only avoid them to live, but after all, he also lived in the mountain for a hundred years, with deep feelings, even though he lived comfortably in the city with Huo Zheng, the most primitive Emotions cannot be easily let go. Every plant and tree in the mountains and the air in the breath are free and unrestrained.

Although he tries hard to be a person now, his nature is hard to change.

"it is good."

Huo Zheng agreed to him, changed his mind, and asked a question that was on his mind.

He heard the name Fang Zichen several times from Bai Xi's mouth. This person seemed to take care of him several times in the school. Huo Zheng, a rough man, couldn't enter the school, so he couldn't help but feel bad. "You and Fang Zichen are very good friends? You seem to always Mention him to me."

Bai Xinsi had already been taken to Milu Mountain, and she couldn't see Huo Zheng's abnormal expression at all, and answered honestly according to his words: "Zichen treats me very well, except for you and Lanpo, he is the best person to me .”

To be courteous for nothing, this idea popped up in Huo Zheng's mind for no reason.

Little did they know that Fang Zichen, whom the two talked about, sneezed in the academy. He looked sullenly at the bright spring sky, and the clothes on his body kept him warm, so he shouldn't catch a cold.

In the early morning of the next day, the advertisement for recruiting grooms in the promotion hall was posted, and many people were eager to try it. Huo Zheng stood among a group of big men and followed the instructions on the poster to form a long queue for grooms to be selected.

The resting students came out of the school to watch around the wooden fence, Bai Xixi rushed out to look for Huo Zheng, and when he passed the entrance of the corridor, he almost bumped into Yan Xuechong who was abducting him.

"You kid has no eyes!"

Bai Xi didn't want to talk to him at first, but when he thought about it, he seemed to be a little reckless, and ran away after paying for it. This time, Bai Xi didn't regard him as air, so that Yan Xuechong swallowed his words hard. down.

He didn't know why, he wanted to see what happened to make Bai Xi so excited, if he caught him, he would have to pinch him to death.Yan Xuechong thought so, and followed quietly, wanting to find out.

There were rows of big men standing in the backyard, Bai Xi recognized Huo Zheng at a glance, he ran around these big men, and stopped behind Huo Zheng to catch his breath.

"clank."

A group of big men respected the students studying in the library. Seeing that Huo Zheng knew him, they couldn't help showing envious expressions, and even looked at Huo Zheng differently.

The line was very long, Huo Zheng couldn't get in the line for a while, and Bai Xi stayed beside him. The big guys talked to Bai Xi with smiles on their faces. Huo Zheng had no choice but to take him to a place where there were few people. talking in the corner.

After talking for a while, Bai Xi became less honest, he was very excited, and it was not yet the third day, but for some reason, he really wanted to touch Huo Zheng more, maybe because of the warm spring, he also became agitated.

"clank."

Bai Xi glanced around, seeing no one around, suddenly jumped up lightly, and kissed Huo Zheng's lips, before Huo Zheng could react, he jumped away like a rabbit, leaving helpless Huo Zheng, and another peeping, stunned Yan Xuechong.

Yan Xuechong wiped her mouth subconsciously, until Huo Zheng left, she walked out like sleepwalking.
