Thinking

Qi Si smiled, ran over to help him spread the blanket, and asked him, "Live here?"

Xiao Zhi clapped his hands: "Watch the sunrise tomorrow, young master will make it easy."

Qi Si was very excited: "I have never seen the sunrise, because no one can wake me up so early."

Xiao Zhi turned his head to look at him and smiled, thinking that Qi Si was sometimes childish and funny: "Tomorrow I will only call you three times, if you don't wake up, that's all."

Qi Si quickly changed his words, and said with a smile: "I'm just joking, if you really can't do it a few more times, I'll definitely get up."

After Xiao Zhi packed up, Qi Si took some snacks from the food box, observed everything inside the cave while eating, and asked curiously: "Xiao Zhi, how do you know this place? You can't even come up from the outside."

Xiao Zhi sat on the felt blanket leaning against the cave wall, stretched his slender legs freely, one leg was slightly bent, and his arms rested on his knees. Looking at Qi Si's dangling figure, he said: "When I was young, I didn't take my martial arts seriously. My father just threw me here, and if I don’t practice well, I will stay here.”

Qi Si stared at him: "Were you naughty when you were young?"

Xiao Zhi smiled: "When I was young, I was a bit stubborn, but not naughty."

Qi Si was puzzled, thinking about Xiao Zhi being thrown alone on a cliff in a remote mountain when he was a child, he felt uncomfortable: "You are so kind, how could your father be willing?"

Xiao Zhi listened to his words, his eyes paused, and he turned his eyes to look outside the cave: "It's nothing, people always have gains and losses."

Sitting next to him, Qi Si leaned on his shoulders to stretch his legs, and said: "Actually, Chong Yi is also strict, and there are various ways to deal with me...but he won't put me on a cliff."

Xiao Zhi recently talked to him about some of his own affairs, but he still doesn't know much about Xiao Zhi.Xiao Zhi's eyes are clear but deep, and he always avoids others' curiosity about him in a calm way.

Qi Si was sleepy, and leaning against Xiao Zhi, he began to babble, and the words gradually turned into murmurs of dreams.Xiao Zhi put him away, took off his shoes and coat, covered him with a thin blanket, adjusted the fire, and slept on the outside of Qisi with his clothes and sword in his arms, blocking the direction of the cave entrance.

The nights in the mountains are colder, especially in autumn, Qi Si followed the source of warmth to Xiao Zhi's side in his sleep, and clung to him tightly, wishing he could hug Xiao Zhi as if hugging a stove.

Xiao Zhi didn't expect that due to sleeping so restlessly, he tucked the blanket for him, and let him sleep by himself.

Before sunrise in the early morning, Xiao Zhi woke up on time. The shadow guards were trained rigorously. As the head of the family, he was even more so. Even sleep was always under control.

He gently moved Qi Si's hands and feet away, letting Qi Si lie down by himself, so that Qi Si would not feel embarrassed when he woke up.

But he soon realized that he didn't have to think so much about Qi Si. Qi Si was dazedly awakened by his movements, half-opened his eyes, saw Xiao Zhi's movements, and murmured very calmly: "I grabbed you and fell asleep." Is it? Excuse me."

When Qisi woke up, Xiao Zhi soaked his face in the cold mountain stream with a handkerchief, and immediately became much more awake.

The timing was very accurate, with a towering wall standing beneath your feet, and mountains in the distance in front of you, the howling wind and eagle chirping echoed endlessly in the mountains.

The facing mountains stretch far away, the fresh smell of mud and forests in the mountains, mist in the valleys, the sky is getting brighter, and a round of red light rises from the sky, and the mountains can't stop it.

The two sat side by side on the edge of the cliff, with their calves hanging in the air above the Wanren vertical wall. When a gust of wind came, the sun shone all over the Chongling Mountains, the sky and the earth were clear, and the sky above the sky was like a fire, burning all the way to the mountains.

Qi Si turned his face to look at Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi's face was clearly defined by the sunlight, his eyes were clear, and he always had an unmoving temperament.

The world is far away, the heart is like a flowing cloud, and the west wind blows thousands of miles away.

For a moment, Qi Si felt that Xiao Zhi was very reliable, someone he could trust.

"The sunrise here is the most spectacular outside Changyu City," Xiao Zhi noticed Qisi's gaze, and turned to look at him and said.

"Then how did you feel when you watched it in the past?" Qi Si asked.

Xiao Zhi smiled: "When you see the sunrise, you will feel that being thrown on the cliff is not bad, but you don't think so at night."

The mountain wind at the edge of the cliff swept away the mist and mist, blowing their temple hair and clothes, the goshawks chirped in the sky, and the morning light shone on the earth.

Tomorrow, when the sky is clear, the mountains and mountains also wake up. After watching the sunrise, Qisi and Xiao Zhi rode on the forest path.

Qi Si leaned on Xiao Zhi's body and fell asleep peacefully. The two went all the way back to the foot of Fenglin Mountain Road, intending to go back to the city and stop staying, but they were stopped by someone.

Xiao reined in the reins, the horse stopped, and Qi Si woke up, seeing a man who looked like a servant in front of the horse with an anxious and helpless expression.

The man stopped them, and said respectfully, "Sir, please stop. My young lady came out to play and stayed in Fenglin for one night. She was still there in the morning. She didn't think she was going for a walk. She got lost in the mountains and forests. It's been an hour, but I can't find it."

Xiao Zhi's clear voice was calm, and he asked calmly, "What does it have to do with us?"

Qi Si guessed that this person wanted to ask them to help find someone, but Xiao Zhi didn't seem to care about people he didn't know.

"My lord, don't blame me. It takes nearly a day to go back and forth from here to Changyu. I didn't bring many people with me when I went out at home. I saw you riding a horse with a sword. You should be a hero who knows martial arts. Please help me find it. Maybe you can hurry up." turn up……"

"There will be no accidents in a day. There are many people here recently, and there are no wild animals. You don't need to panic."

Qi Si turned his head and looked up at Xiao Zhi, Xiao Zhi's face was very calm, with no expression on his face.

Realizing that Qi Si was looking at him hesitating to speak, Xiao Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Qi Si: "What?"

Qi thought and said, "How about helping him?"

Xiao Zhi hesitated and said, "This kind of thing is very troublesome, do you want to help?"

Qi Si hesitated again. If he said trouble, he must have caused trouble for Xiao Zhi, and he didn't want to bother him for a while.

Seeing his contradictory look, Xiao Zhi found it funny: "Help if you want, it's no big deal."

Only then did Qi Si breathe a sigh of relief, and got off the horse with Xiao Zhi.

Xiao Zhi asked the servant about her situation, including where she stayed overnight, where she was last seen in the morning, the direction she was walking, etc., and the servant answered them one by one.

Xiao Zhi looked at Qi Si and said: "Probably got lost in the woods, I'm looking for someone, you follow me."

The boy hurriedly thanked him, feeling that he had met an expert.

Xiao Zhi asked the servant to follow, took Qi Si by his side, stopped after a few steps, and could see all the traces on the ground or among the bushes.

After going around for nearly a quarter of an hour, Xiao Zhi tracked down a hunting trap and signaled the boy to check it out.

The little servant hurried forward, took a look at the side, and immediately jumped up and shouted: "Miss! How is the lady?"

Qi Si and Xiao Zhi also went over to look, and found that it was a trap for hunting animals. The pit was quite deep, with smooth and vertical walls. A gorgeously dressed girl was sitting at the bottom of the pit. Looking up at them, one could vaguely see a pretty face. , the girl's voice was a little weak: "The leg is twisted."

Then it was difficult to act, the boy was so anxious that he walked around in front of Xiao Zhi and asked him: "Master, can you... Oh, this is not possible, men and women are different... This..."

Qi Si looked at him helplessly, Xiao Zhi looked at Qi Si, held his arm to keep him away from the pit, and said with a smile: "You know why it's troublesome."

Qi Si laughed when he said it.

Xiao Zhi turned his head and said to the boy: "Everyone has been found, don't be in a hurry, just go back and let your family members come and fish."

The boy was so anxious that he didn't dare to let his master stay in the pit for a while, but it had to be like this.

The three of them went back to the Fenglin trail.There were a few people waiting beside a carriage, they looked like maids and servants, and there was a noble lady, when she saw the boy came back, she hurriedly asked: "Did you see me?"

The little servant hurriedly said: "These two nobles helped to find it. Miss fell into a trap for trapping animals. Her leg was twisted and she couldn't move. Someone needs to go down to help."

Everyone hurriedly thanked Xiao Zhi and Qi Si, Xiao Zhi didn't intend to stay, and took Qi Si to the horse.

The noble lady said sincerely: "Please tell me the address of the family, I will thank you in the future."

Xiao Zhi glanced at them indifferently, said: "No need", then he turned around and rode away with anticipation, without saying a word, he rode away without saying a word.

Xiao Zhi still asked Qi Si to sit in front of him, fearing that he would get sleepy and fall off.After walking for a while, Qi Si asked him, "Is this how you treat people you don't know?"

Xiao Zhi didn't quite understand, and asked instead: "What kind?"

Thinking about it, he said: "I don't care much, a little... indifferent, anyway, it's different from usual."

But Xiao Zhi didn't understand Qi Si's thoughts: "It would be strange if people you don't know treat you the same way."

Qi Si thought for a while that he couldn't refute. He pondered for a long time and asked: "Then if His Majesty didn't let you take care of me at first, you... are wrong, then you wouldn't know me at all... Then if..."

"It's nothing if", Xiao Zhi didn't understand what Qi Si was thinking, it seemed that this little boy always liked to imagine things that wouldn't happen.

Qi Si felt that Xiao Zhi's words were difficult to refute for a while, so he didn't think about it at all.

The steed was bumping gently steadily, Xiao Zhi put his arms to protect him, his chest was firm and warm, and Qi Si quickly fell asleep again.

When they arrived at the other courtyard, Qi Si felt the horse stop and woke up on time.

After getting off the horse, he turned back and asked Xiao Zhi: "How did you do it? Are you not tired?"

Xiao Zhi handed over the other horse to the servants of the other courtyard, and said with a smile: "If the shadow guard falls asleep on the horse, there is no need to do it, just pull them all out and distribute them."

Qi Si was amused by him, seeing that he didn't plan to enter the yard, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao held the reins, and the horse moved lightly. He nodded and said, "When you enter the city, wait for me to say that you have something to do. I'm leaving. Take a good rest today, and don't fall asleep and go to the academy tomorrow."

Qi Si stepped forward to hug him gently, let go of Xiao Zhi's farewell, and entered the yard.

Seeing that he came back on time, the old butler was relieved, and asked Qi Si to eat a light meal before letting him go back to catch up on sleep.

Thinking about it, Xiao Zhi went to work without sleeping or eating all the way. He felt a little sorry and didn't know where he was going to do business, so he asked the boy to try to inquire and send some delicious hot meals before going back to his room to sleep. It's heavy.

In the Imperial Palace of the Yan Kingdom, Xiao Zhi did not change his military uniform, but knelt on one knee in front of Emperor Su, with his back straight.

"Is that child feeling better recently?" After Xiao Zhi explained the business, Emperor Su casually asked from the throne, his eyes were deep.

"It's much better than before. Everything is normal when studying and practicing martial arts, and I've cheered up."

"Well, I heard that you often accompany him?" Emperor Su asked casually.

Xiao Zhi lowered his head and said calmly: "Your Highness is very afraid of being alone."

Emperor Su was silent for a moment, and said: "You have always been measured in everything, so it is the same for him, you should be sure about the distance."

Xiao Zhi respectfully said: "Yes."

"Okay, go back and rest. Just remember, in your name, it should be self-attachment from the heart, and then break the attachment to self."

Sudi's eyes were deep and wise, but there was a little helplessness in his eyes.
