Fostering apprentices

"Mu Chu, why do you think a general from a neighboring country accepts you as an apprentice when he sees you, because you have known each other since we were very young, and because he begged his master Yuanshan Taoist to use the secret technique of your clan to kill your Memory sealing is to protect you for the rest of your life. Because he knows that he is a soft-hearted person. If you remember it one day, you will definitely ask where your parents are. When there is no change of owner in Dongyue, he will pave the way for you. "

He raised his head and looked at the person whose eyes were gradually despairing, but his face could not restrain his pride: "Poor Yan Nan has been paving the way for others all his life, and he ended up with an unhappy end, Mu Chu, do you know, He has no amnesia at all, the rebellion in Yuncheng was planned by him and me together, he only wants Li Xiang's head, and he has been in contact with me since a year ago, just to kill you."

"Shut up." Mu Chu stretched out his hand to grab his neck, his black eyes rolled with anger, his hand tightened more and more, until his face turned purple, and he warned Fu Xiang in a low voice: "What are you doing?" I shut up."

"The old minister wishes the emperor to rule the world, enjoy a hundred years of loneliness, and never be with the one he loves for the rest of his life, hahahaha." Fuxiang laughed wildly, and a few traces of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth. The red snake just now didn't know what it was Time was already clinging to the top of his head, and the sharp teeth still had the blood from biting through the flesh. Finally, he fell to the ground, twitched a few times and lost his breath.

A generation of heroes fell like this.

What is it that forced him to be like this, power, wealth, or the prosperity of the world.

Mu Chu ran out suddenly, and there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance. He looked at the person on the horse above, and when he wanted to reach out to touch him, he found that he had a little bit of fear, and he trembled. He withdrew his hand, stood in the valley and looked at the man quietly.

"Is it going well?" He asked softly, the tenderness in his eyes remained the same.

Yan Nan got off his horse and walked up to him. With a hum, he turned his head and saw Fu Xiang who had been covered with a white cloth. The murderous intent in his black eyes dropped sharply at this moment: "Ruochen Come here, things over there have been sorted out."

"I know." Mu Chu still stared at him with piercing eyes, as if he wanted to see through him. Then, regardless of how many people were staring at him, he stretched out his hand to hold Yan Nanlou in his arms, and lowered his head to grab his crotch. breathe.

Strange gazes came from all around, some startled, some hesitant, but more people chose to leave silently and return to their team.

Yan Nan felt that his face was getting a little wet. He opened his eyes suddenly, but saw that the enlarged eyes in front of him were red, and there were still tears in them, falling drop by drop to the nearest place.

He rarely saw Mu Chu cry, he saw it once when he was young, and he never saw him again.

For some reason, my heart, which has not felt it for a long time, actually feels distressed when I see these ruddy eyes. I have had these eyes before, and they have fallen into the abyss of despair. Facing the darkness, I can only choose the despair of darkness.

The boundless darkness once enveloped him, pushing him to the side of despair again and again.

...........

The battle in Yuncheng was over, Yan Nan didn't say goodbye to Chen Feng face to face, but before leaving, he just left a letter in the tavern and took away a pot of his favorite peach blossom drunk.

When Mu Chu found him, he was sitting under a dead peach tree, and beside it was an altar of beautifully blooming jade phoenixes from Yaotai. The man was dressed in white, as if he met him for the first time outside the city of Nanling King. As always, his every frown and smile touched everyone's heartstrings.

Seeing the person approaching, Yan Nan smiled at him, reached out and put the wine jar up: "Will you have a drink?"

"Okay." Mu Chu said softly, and he sat opposite him with Yan Nan. The two of them had never drank so quietly, not in Goulan Courtyard, not in the General's Mansion, not in Xiqi's. There is no time, even to Dongyue, only this time.

The strong wine entered his throat, and the fragrance of peach blossoms wafted from his nostrils. I don't know when this jar of wine was brewed, and it was much less flavorful than the ones drunk in Goulanyuan before.

"Uncle Chen got carried away before he learned half of my wine-making skills, and the wine he brewed didn't have the unique taste of peach blossom drunk." Yan Nan raised his head and drank the spirits in the glass. The fragrance in the room dilutes the bitterness that should have been in the wine. Peach blossom drunk wine is not peach blossom drunk.

He lowered his head and stared at the seven-stringed guqin that had been placed by his side all the time. There was a clear word Yan engraved on the body of the qin. Yan Nan stroked the strings on it, and stretched out his hand to fiddle a few times. The restored qin was long gone. The charm of the past, even the intonation is not the same as before.

"When was the piano repaired?" He asked softly.

Mu Chu put down the wine glass in his hand, and said slowly: "When I was in Dongyue Palace, I asked Ruochen to find the best violin maker in the palace to repair it." Like flowing water, it flows slowly into people's hearts.

He didn't raise his eyes, and continued to play the piano with his head lowered, stroking the strings with his slender fingers. Mu Chu was sitting across from him, no longer as loose as before, his dark eyes were fixed on him, and he tapped the table with his hands , he is used to this piece of music, and even memorized the score deeply.

To be precise, he memorized Yan Nan's favorite tunes verbatim.

After the song was over, he stopped his hand and poured another glass into the wine glass: "The Peach Blossom Drunk in Goulanyuan was brewed by Yingyue and I. He has a lively nature, and I forced him to do it together. Later, I returned to the general. Mansion, when my elder brother came to find me, he was also drunk with peach blossoms."

"Know why I like it so much?"

"Why?"

After Yan Nan finished drinking a glass of wine, there was some mist in his eyes. He raised his eyes and looked at Mu Chu, as if thinking of something ridiculous, he laughed out loud: "Because Yun Jing likes it, I have been with Yun since childhood. During that period, I went to live in the military camp with my parents, and when I came back, everyone said that I seemed to be a different person. Everyone knew that I fell in love with Yunjing, and even I thought so."

"For more than 20 years, I have worked hard at every step, and I did not hesitate to count myself into it. In the end, my family was ruined and I was still unable to deal with my enemies. Tell me, am I particularly hypocritical?" His eyes were full of bitterness, as if he had experienced Like a despair, the brilliance that should have lived in the eyes has long since disappeared, leaving only silence.

It's an endless silence.

He took a deep breath, and abruptly put the wine glass on the small table. He obviously didn't drink much, but in the end he seemed drunk, not because he was drunk, but because he was drunk.Yan Nan stood up unsteadily, looked down at Mu Chu condescendingly, finally raised his head and laughed, his whole body trembling.

"A'nan..." Mu Chu also stood up, stretched out his hand to grab the trembling Yan Nan, hugged him tightly, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

He just kept saying sorry repeatedly, but he didn't tell Yan Nan what he was sorry for or what he did wrong.

Because Mu Chu knew that no matter what he said now, it was useless, the thing he least wanted to happen still happened, and the person he least wanted to hurt was deeply hurt because of his selfishness.

He didn't expect to be forgiven, he just begged Anan not to leave him, not to leave him again.

The long sword was pulled out, Yan Nan pushed him away, and he staggered a few steps back because of the dead tree behind him, he barely stabilized his figure.At this moment, there was no trace of emotion in his eyes, looking at Mu Chu as if he was looking at a stranger, he said in a hoarse voice: "I always owe Yingyue my life, you saved my life before, I took the Yan family I will pay you up and down, I poisoned the wine, and I will exchange your life for Yingyue's."

"After you leave, I will come to you soon. Hell is too cold. I'm afraid you won't be able to find your way by yourself."

Mu Chu looked at him quietly, didn't even blink his glasses when he heard that there was poison in the wine, he smiled, it seemed that some sealed memory in his mind flooded out like a flood, he frowned He covered his head with his chest, and he staggered a few steps and knelt on the ground. There was a tearing pain in his chest, like a sharp knife cutting his heart, stabbing his flesh and blood one after another.

With a sound of "poof", blood fell on the piano in front of him. He clutched his chest, his eyes were dull. Gradually, Mu Chu raised his head, as if seeing him for the first time when he was young, and showed a canine tooth towards Yan Nan. , chuckled lightly, with doting on him in his brows and eyes.

He said, Anan, can you take another look at me?

He said, Anan, take one last look at me, okay?

It began to rain lightly from the sky, and it fell drop by drop in the bleak courtyard. There was a man lying on the ground, holding a Guqin with broken strings tightly in his hands. It began to wither, and the delicate petals fell one by one, falling around the man.

On the street, a man was walking in the rain with a jar of wine in his arms. The people who came and went were in a hurry, but they all hurried to hide from the rain. The man walked endlessly, letting the rain wet his whole body.

In the eyes of outsiders, this sloppy person is a lunatic, who either lost all his family property by gambling, or was abandoned by his sweetheart.

With a sound of "Plop", Yan Nan collapsed on the ground, posing in a big character, looking up at the gray sky.

Is it over? It's over. He used the most direct way to end it.

But it is also the most ruthless way.

He hated Changyue, hated why this person killed his close friends and relatives, just because they were opposites?No, no, because he is Mu Chu, another consciousness that Mu Chu bred, a completely independent consciousness.In the end, he was still not willing to implement the plan he had arranged, and let that person also try the taste of family ruin.

But he and Mu Chu no longer have a home.
