[Sword III] The sword should be like this

71

On the fifth day of March in the 18th year of Kaiyuan, it was sunny, east wind, West Lake.

"I'm going to start running!" Ye Jingyi yelled holding the kite string. She was wearing a brand new spring coat, tied two ponytails, and her face was flushed with excitement.

Ye Ying, who was holding the swallow kite, nodded, and the little girl started to run.She couldn't run fast, watching the kite going up and down behind her back from time to time and still dragging on the ground for a long time without being able to fly, she was terribly anxious.Zishu, who was always by her side, hugged her: "Sister, take you, okay?"

Ye Jingyi nodded hurriedly at this moment, and didn't care who said just now that she didn't want to be hugged, but ran away by herself.Zishu smiled, supported her with one hand, lifted her skirt with the other and ran away.Ye Jingyi lay on her shoulders and watched the kite behind her finally rise slowly by the wind, dancing happily.Seeing that it was almost flying, Zishu stopped and put Ye Jingyi on the ground, then she giggled and ran to the lawn and shouted to Ye Ying who was walking: "Brother, the little swallow is flying!"

Ye Ying nodded to her, patted her head to show her praise, and she happily went to Ye Meng to ask for credit. He took a series of small kites connected together, and at the moment he was tossing with Ye Hui.Seeing Ye Jingyi run away energetically, Ye Ying ordered her followers to take care of her and then looked at Zi Shu who was still standing over there.

In spring, countless paper kites flew in the blue sky, and the willow trees by the West Lake sprouted new buds. When the spring breeze blew, all the willow branches fluttered with the wind, like waves rising from the West Lake.Zi Shu was dressed in a yellow dress with white gauze, with a silver bell hanging around his waist, a pendant made of red beans on his forehead, and a red bean hairpin tied up his long hair.

Ye Ying waved at her, and she slowly moved over and sat down on the ground.

"Are you tired?" Seeing her appearance, Ye Ying couldn't help asking.

Zishu hugged his knees and shook his head: "I'm not tired."

"Then why do you look a little tired?"

Zishu turned his head sideways and squinted at him from the corner of his eyes: "Oh, did you see it again?"

Ye Ying pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Why can't you see it?"

"Okay." Zishu said helplessly, "Aying, I want to go for a walk."

Ordinary people would say, isn't this just outside?But who is Ye Ying, he just nodded slightly, and then said: "Yes, I will help you prepare for anything you need." Although he didn't know why Zishu seemed to be unable to stay in Zhuangzi, but since it was her wish Of course, it is necessary to be satisfied, after all, this is not difficult.

Zi Shu looked into his smiling eyes strangely, but he asked back, "What's wrong?"

"...No." Zishu turned his head to look at the glistening water of West Lake, and stopped talking.All she could think of was that he wasn't going to go with me.Even though he knew that he was the owner of a village, there was absolutely no reason to go out casually, and she didn't know how long it would be before she left, and it was impossible for her to drag him around for a year or so.But finding out that he didn't even have a plan...it's still a bit uncomfortable.

"Do you want to eat?" Ye Ying handed over a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake wrapped in a handkerchief from the side.

Zishu felt depressed, but he still nodded as if nothing had happened, took it and gnawed it slowly.

"Brother, Jingyi wants to eat too." Ye Jingyi came over at some point, wagging her tail as she looked at the pastry in the handkerchief.

Ye Ying closed the handkerchief, and said softly: "Jingyi, drink today's medicine first, and I will give it to you."

As a result, the little guy frowned, and his mouth was so flat that he could hang a teapot: "Can you eat before drinking?"

"If you eat it first, then you won't have anything to eat after drinking the medicine."

Ye Jingyi lowered her head and looked at her toes, and said in a low voice, "Then can I stop taking the medicine?" Her little hands were twisted together, looking aggrieved.

Ye Ying didn't speak.

"Jing Yi, be good, my sister will give you this piece. After you take the medicine, you can take the medicine from brother, okay?" Zi Shu hugged her into his arms and coaxed her.

Ye Jingyi looked at Zi Shu, then at Ye Ying, and nodded slowly.When Ye Ying turned to get the medicine, she heard Zi Shu asking over there: "Jing Yi, can my sister ask you a question?" He was thinking about what else she wanted to ask a child.After a while, she heard her voice again: "Is it sister who treats you well or brother who treats you well?"

"..." Ye Ying was a little speechless, just thinking that Zishu had started to ask such naive questions, but she didn't forget to listen.And Ye Hui, who came over from there with a kite, poked Ye Ying, holding back his smile very hard: "Brother, why did you provoke my sister-in-law?"

Ye Ying glanced at him and didn't answer.

There was another short silence on the other end before Ye Jingyi's voice sounded weakly: "If brother doesn't give Jingyi medicine... hello brother."

Zishu finally understood: "Then Jingyi means, how is sister?"

Ye Jingyi lowered her head and said nothing.Ye Ying went over with the medicine, wiped off the debris from the corners of her mouth, and handed over the medicine bowl, thinking that a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake made her abandon her elder brother. It seems that she will be easily abducted in the future, and education in this area must be strengthened.After supervising her to drink up the bowl of dark bitter concoction, he raised his eyes to look at Zishu, she looked at him with triumphant eyes.Ye Jingyi hurriedly picked up the cake and stuffed it into her mouth, Zishu patted her on the back and told her to slow down.

Although he was stalked by Ye Ying's favorite little sister, the depression in Zishu's heart still persisted.At night, I sat by the window with my chin resting on my back and looked at the moon, and I couldn't help but sigh.Chu Lingjun once joked that don't sigh, it will blow away all the good luck.But she has never had any luck...

Well, I can’t blame Ye Ying for this, because he didn’t know her situation at all, he just thought that everything was fine, that she would be like before when she woke up, as long as the sword was still there, she would exist forever and ever. She has been with him all the time, she will always go back if she doesn't travel far away, they have a lifetime.

——However, this is not the case at all, otherwise why would Zishu want to take advantage of this moment to travel far away?How could he be unhappy because he didn't intend to accompany her?She has no time, and if she misses it, she will miss it forever.She wanted him to be with her but couldn't say it.He has his own things to do, how can he stay with her all the time?That is the responsibility he must shoulder.But he has no plans at all!Even though she was hiding it from him again, even though she understood his decision, even though she knew that she was actually very unreasonable to be angry, but... anyway, she was in a bad mood.

When he threw himself onto the bed, Zi Shu's head hit the bed board and made a loud "dong" sound...it hurts so much!She forgot that it was not winter, and the thick and soft quilt had already been removed.Not intending to force himself to endure, Zishu covered his head and rolled around twice, until the hairpin rings were messed up before giving up.The shoes had been kicked off a long time ago, she fell on her back on the bed panting, and then saw a pair of eyes.

"Zi Shu, this is...?" Ye Ying held one of her shoes in her hand, and stood at the head of the bed with a smile, looking at her.He was only wearing a piece of clothing, apparently he hurried over after falling asleep and hearing the movement.

Blinking her eyes, Zishu was stunned. She had just lost her composure in 400 years and was... bumped into ruthlessly!Zi Shu wished she could disappear immediately, she could do it before, but she can't do it now.Fortunately, the skills cultivated over the years were not in vain, and she insisted on putting on an indifferent appearance to meet Ye Ying's smile that flickered in her eyes despite her face not moving. She sat up and straightened her clothes calmly, He directly removed the hairpin from his head, and stepped on the ground to make a gesture to go to the dressing table.She looked as if nothing happened just now, but she even blamed Ye Yinglai: "Aying came to my room so late, could it be...doing something wrong?"

Ye Ying grabbed her: "It's cold on the ground." Then he handed her a pair of shoes.

Under his gaze, Zishu put it on uncomfortably and walked over to put the jewelry away before coming back and sitting down again.

Ye Ying leaned against the bedpost and said a word in a low voice: "I think." Before Zi Shu could figure out what it meant, he distracted her from her thoughts and asked, "What happened to the big commotion earlier?"

Zi Shu stretched his shoulders and pulled the quilt to cover his feet: "I accidentally bumped into it."

After a while of silence, he said slowly: "Go to bed early."

"You too." Zi Shu nodded, and Ye Ying put down the veil for her and went out.Hearing the sound of the door closing, Zishu curled up into a ball.

think?What are you thinking?If it wasn't for Ye Ying's strange behavior, she would have thought she was hallucinating.At this moment, she calmed down and went through the conversation before and after this word, and her ears started to feel a little hot, and Zishu finally understood what he meant... This is, what, how do you want her to sleep Got it!

The next day, Zi Shu, who had dark circles under her eyes, looked extremely poor. When Ye Ying got up to eat, she had already sat stirring the porridge in the bowl for a long time. "Morning." She glanced at him and continued stirring the porridge.

Ye Ying was slightly taken aback, he found that not only his personality had changed a lot since Zi Shu woke up, but even his physique seemed to have changed.She has never returned to the sword, and she is not sleepless like she used to be. She needs to rest and sleep. Except that she does not need to eat, the rest is the same as ordinary people.

The servants brought Ye Ying's breakfast, and after stepping back, he couldn't help asking: "Zi Shu, are you resting well?"

Zishu nodded: "I didn't fall asleep last night."

"Uncomfortable?" Ye Ying's tone was a little worried.

Zishu put down the spoon and looked directly into his eyes, and found that there was nothing unusual about him. Could it be... She really misheard?Got it wrong?Feeling what the hell was he thinking all day long, Zi Shu quickly pulled his thoughts back.She looked away: "No. You can eat it. I'll eat it to digest. Pickled cucumbers are delicious." After saying a word, she left.

Ye Ying watched her back disappear, and then blushed involuntarily, ahem, he really regretted what he said last night.

When Ye Meng came in rubbing his eyes, he saw Ye Ying couldn't help asking: "Brother, are you hot?"

Ye Ying put down the tableware very calmly, picked up the handkerchief and wiped her mouth: "No." As always, she walked out gracefully and calmly.

Ye Meng sat in his seat and thought for a while, then muttered: "What's wrong with elder brother and sister-in-law this early morning..." Forget it, the important thing is to eat.

The author asked: How did the gossip disappear?

All the little yellow chickens answer: Because there are heartless eyes like the four masters who lack the heart of gossip!Simply unhappy!

Every morning in Hidden Sword Villa starts with sword practice. All the disciples practiced outside Tianze Building against the rising sun, followed by breakfast, and morning classes started half an hour after the meal.Ye Ying personally guided the disciples' morning class, and then walked to the tree where she used to stand, looked up, and saw that Zishu really fell asleep under the cover of flying flowers.

Ye Ying sighed, stepped on the tree, and squatted down beside her.A lot of petals fell on her body, and it was no longer like before, the flowers avoided three points.The spring breeze was blowing, carrying an unknown fragrance, Ye Ying leaned over and picked her up, intending to take her back to the room.Today is different from the past, she doesn't know if she will catch a cold if she sleeps like this, if the sword soul catches a cold, how to cure it?At that time, there will be some troubles.

Supporting her knees with one hand, and circling her armpit with the other, he was about to use his strength when Zi Shu woke up leisurely: "Does Ah Ying want to do something wrong in broad daylight?"

"..." Because of this posture, he was very close to her, and as soon as he lowered his head to breathe, he threw himself on her face, and he could clearly see the slightly embarrassed self in her eyes.The distance was really ambiguous, Ye Ying was silent for a while, her ears were a little hot.He took his hand out from under her body and patted Luo Hua on her body: "Since you're awake, go back to your room and sleep by yourself, and be careful not to catch a cold."

Zi Shu sat up, raised his hand to cover his mouth and laughed in a low voice for a while, Ye Ying felt so embarrassed standing there, she jumped down lightly.Zishu was not in a hurry, he climbed the flower branch and looked at him, and then his smile faded away.Ye Ying, who was standing below, heard no movement behind her, turned around and saw that she was still sitting there, and extended her hand to her.Zishu understood what he meant, restrained her thoughts and flew down to hold his hand.There were calluses on his hands from sword practice, and she moved her fingers slowly, feeling itchy.

"Aying, tell me, do you want to make it up to me?"

Ye Ying was obviously puzzled when she heard such a question: "Why?"

Zi Shu glanced at him sideways: "Oh, could it be that the misconduct is just forgone?"

I thought he would be embarrassed, of course he was embarrassed for a while, and then he smiled and asked, "What compensation do you want?"

"It's you who want to make up for me and make me happy. Isn't it not difficult at all after I told you?" Zi Shu remembered the attitude of her former hostesses, and learned a lot.

Ye Ying sized her up with very meaningful eyes, and said, "Then Zishu can bring whatever he wants for this trip."

Zishu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately said, "Is it really possible to do anything?"

Ye Ying nodded: "Flying in the sky, walking on the ground, eating and playing, as long as it is within the boundary of Hidden Sword Villa, it is fine."

Waiting for this sentence!Zishu was excited in her heart, but her face was still calm. She took a while to say slowly: "Don't regret it when the time comes." It seemed that she didn't care, and it seemed that some conspiracy was brewing. If Lu Daiqing saw it, she would definitely fight a cold war.

However, this is Ye Ying. Although she is not good at dealing with people, she is more than enough to deal with Zi Shu's harmless little plot.The last time it was concerned about chaos, this time it will not.He nodded: "One word from a gentleman is hard to follow."

So Zi Shu left Ye Ying happily and left, but he still looked neither salty nor bland.It should be said that she and Ye Ying are the kind of people who are very good at pretending, and they pretend to be watertight.

three days later.The owner's wife who has not passed the door is leaving, and the little yellow chickens are running to tell everyone, and then they are all tragic, and they are all sent to work, and none of them can't finish in two or three days, so they see them off There are only Ye Ying and Ye Hui, and a group of fighting chickens who are not afraid of death and dare to listen to the owner's corner who hide themselves tightly.

Seeing that Zishu was wearing nothing but a sword, Ye Hui asked, "Big..." I wanted to call him sister-in-law, but after all, he hasn't been married yet. No, the main reason is that his elder brother didn't even make a move to propose marriage. It's fine in private, but he can't call it that in front of Zishu, he stopped quickly and changed his words, "Isn't it inconvenient for Miss Lu not to bring anything?"

Zishu smiled and said: "It's not that I didn't bring anything, I'm going to ask for it face to face."

Not knowing what kind of medicine she sold in the gourd, Ye Hui could only nod: "Oh." Strange!That's weird!Why did he have a bad feeling? !

After finishing speaking, Zi Shu looked at Ye Ying: "I remember clearly what the master said that day. If I can't do it, I'm a narrow-minded person. Don't be surprised if I say something unpleasant to the master."

Ye Ying almost laughed out of her heart, but her face was still calm and calm.Under the gaze of Ye Hui's eyes that were almost turning into circles, he nodded.

Zi Shu's eyes swept 120 degrees over the people hiding in the corners, and then calmly walked up to Ye Ying, handing the sword into his hand: "Then let's go." Turning around chicly, his long hair brushed against Ye Ying Ying's hand, she jumped onto the bamboo raft in a few steps.

"This, this, this...!" Ye Hui felt that this move contained a lot of information.

Ye Yingchong nodded to Ye Hui and followed. Zishu, who was standing at the end of the row, supported the bamboo poles, and the bamboo rafts floated far away. Two figures, one golden and one white, stood and sat, submerged in the misty rain of the West Lake...

Everyone's eyes fell: so the madam took the big manor owner away? !Couldn't be more loving.

Ye Hui's tears flooded the West Lake: Brother, don't push everything to me again!

Within a day, Tibetan Sword was in a strange state of joy and excitement; after a day, more than half of the people found out why the task was so heavy all of a sudden? !

Zishu leaned the bamboo raft to the shore, looked at Ye Ying with a calm face, and felt as if she had been cheated, but she still gave him a dignified look, and took the lead on the shore.Ye Ying followed closely behind, one step away from her, holding her sword in her hand, like a guard following the lady out.After walking for a while, Zishu bought two sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, and Ye Ying paid for them.After eating the cake, Zi Shu walked for a while before turning to look at him.

Ye Ying was taller than Zishu, and the two were so close that Zishu's forehead almost hit his mouth.He stopped and looked down at her smooth forehead. She was wearing a forehead pendant made by him, and the pearls were reflected pink by the surrounding red beans.Zishu took a step back: "I'm tired from walking, let's prepare the car."

It is estimated that Zishu is the only one in the world who can make Ye Ying like this, except for Ye Laozhu and Mrs. Ye.After Ye Ying finished listening, there was still a little relaxed smile in her tone: "Okay, let's do it now." Zishu hummed with satisfaction, went to the teahouse next to him, ordered a pot of tea and sat down. look like.Ye Ying looked at the time and guessed that what she wanted would be delivered soon.Within half a cup of tea, a carriage painted with the Zangjian logo left Hangzhou City. Half an hour later, Zangjian ushered in a new gossip: The owner of the village actually drove the carriage himself, personally!

Fireworks go down to Yangzhou in March.Zi Shu used Ye Ying as a coachman all the way to Yangzhou. As for why he didn't use the waterway, Zi Shu wanted to torment him.The two of them tossed each other silently all the way, but it was Zi Shu who was finally tossed and fell down.When they set off again from Yangzhou, they chose the waterway, and then——as a sword soul, Zishu got seasick.

The author has something to say:
