Rebellious officials bow their heads

"But my mother is sick. Ah Zhong has never had a playmate. It is a good thing that you can play with him, but today..." Xu Yan did not say how long he searched in the town after he found out that Ah Zhong and Ye Liuzhou had disappeared. Seeing the two people who were on the verge of the leopard's mouth on the mountain, the anger at that moment has dissipated now, he paused and said: "I don't bother to talk too much, let me know next time you want to go up the mountain, understand? "

Ye Liuzhou supported his chin with his hands, and curled his lips when he heard the last sentence, "Understood."

It was raining heavily outside the window, after Xu Yan finished speaking, he pointed to the door, indicating that he could go out.

Ye Liuzhou didn't move, he sat obliquely, raised his hand on the table, and turned a delicate paper crane between his fingers.

Xu Yan looked at the paper crane, moved slightly, his eyes drifted away, repeatedly fell on it, and looked away again.

"Why did you pick this thing up?" Ye Liuzhou asked.

"What does it have to do with you?" Xu Yan said, "This is mine."

Ye Liuzhou laughed: "I made this."

"This is paper from my house." Xu Yan said blankly: "Put this thing down, you can go."

"A Zhong also likes this kind of thing." Ye Liuzhou put down the paper crane and stretched his waist, "My room leaked when it rained, what should I do?"

"Water leakage?" Xu Yan stood up, "There has been no one living in that guest room. It may be that the tiles have been broken for too long. I will go and fix it with you."

Ye Liuzhou walked outside after him, "Can you still repair the roof? Is there anything else you can't do?"

Xu Yan held up the oil-paper umbrella, and the two braved the heavy rain to go to the warehouse to fetch some red mud tiles, and then went back to the backyard to open the door. He looked at the raindrops dripping like threads, roughly determined the location, and took a wooden ladder to the roof. .

He took down the rotten tiles and laid new tiles neatly, while Ye Liuzhou stood beside him holding an umbrella for him.

The robes of the two were fluttering in the violent wind and rain, and the wind broke the umbrella in Ye Liuzhou's hand. He was about to smooth the raised corner, but unexpectedly, the strong wind blew the umbrella away.

They were immediately exposed to the heavy rain, and their bodies were soaked.

Xu Yan raised his head and glanced at the other party, showing "what's the use of you".

Ye Liuzhou was covered in water, he opened his arms against the wind and rain, not only did not worry, but laughed out loud.

"Xu Yan, look, our umbrella is almost blown out of town."

"You'll be in the rain for a while longer, and you won't be able to see again before nightfall." Xu Yan said calmly, changed the tiles, and beckoned him to leave the room.

The feet of the two of them were full of winding water. Ye Liuzhou twisted his sleeves and entered the room. It was no longer leaking, but he reached out to touch the bed, and the bedding was all wet. He turned to Xu Yan: "It's wet, why not?" What to do? Where to sleep at night?"

Xu Yandao: "The pig shed at home has just been newly repaired, so you can sleep there."

"..." Ye Liuzhou said, "I don't think this is good."

Xu Yan and him looked at each other for a moment, then sighed slightly, "Forget it, come with me."

So Ye Liuzhou hummed a little tune all the way into Xu Yan's bedroom.

Xu Yan went to the clean room to dry his hair, and when he came out, he noticed that Ye Liuzhou was still standing there dripping water, "Are you still wearing this wet clothes?"

Ye Liuzhou spread his hands: "There are no other clean clothes..."

Xu Yandao: "I think it's better for you to sleep in the pigpen."

"No, no, no, I don't think so." Letting the king of a country sleep in a pig shed or something...

Xu Yan turned his head and took out a robe from the dark gold-painted cabinet, threw it to Ye Liuzhou, and pointed to the clean room, "There is hot water inside."

After Ye Liuzhou washed and washed, he changed into the other party's robe. Xu Yan was eight feet tall, and this robe looked loose on him, revealing more than half of his shoulders.

He walked out from behind the landscape screen, the sky outside the window had already darkened, the sound of rain beating the leaves was faintly heard, and the lights in the room were burning brightly, showing a sense of warmth.

Xu Yanzheng was sitting behind the case, wiping the Mo knife with a cloth towel.

Ye Liuzhou rubbed his sleepy eyes, and as soon as he approached the bed, Xu Yan behind him said without raising his head: "If you dare to go up, you will die."

The Mo Dao in his hand gleamed sharply after being wiped.

Ye Liuzhou froze.

Xu Yan continued: "There are blankets and quilts in the closet, you lay them on the floor."

"Oh..." Ye Liuzhou responded, spread the quilt with his hands, lay down, held up his sleeve robe, looked at the pattern of square hole money embroidered on it, and asked, "Why do you embroider 'Xuan' on the clothes?" And Tongbao'?"

"Fortune." Xu Yan answered briefly, and after a while, he put the Mo Dao in the box, blew out the candle, and approached the bed, bypassing the man on the ground and getting on the couch.

Ye Liuzhou listened to the sound of the rain outside, and asked again in the darkness: "Xu Yan, your family affairs are all dependent on you, so your father..."

Xu Yan turned over, turned his back to him, and said in a calm voice: "I don't have a father. Sleep quietly, and you will go out in the rain."

One night passed, the rain was over, and the sky cleared up. In the morning, the sparrow chased the sun and landed on the window sill, moving its small body with its head probing.

There were scattered flowers and shadows in the corridor, Mrs. Xu called Ye Liuzhou to sit down and eat, Ah Zhong came to his side and asked in a low voice, "Brother didn't hit you yesterday, did he?"

Ye Liuzhou shook his head.

"That's good." Ah Zhong stood on the bench and whispered in his ear: "Let's find a time to play next time."

Xu Yan, who was on the opposite side, ate half of his meal, and tapped the wall of the bowl with his chopsticks, "Who was chased by the leopard yesterday, and still thinking about the next time?"

"Brother—" Ah Zhong looked at him, and stretched out his voice in distress.

Mrs. Xu put down the bowl and said: "Yan'er, Ah Zhong wants to go to the mountains to play, since you are afraid that he will be in danger, you can go with him."

"Okay." Xu Yan could only respond, "Wait until the next time I have a chance."

Ah Zhong couldn't help cheering, "Then brother, we must go early!"

While talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the arched door. Someone strolled in, dressed in a white robe like snow. His eyes circled around several people in the courtyard, and finally stopped Ye Liuzhou's face, brushing his eyes. He unfolded the folding fan in his hand.

It was only for a moment, he turned his gaze, nodded politely to Mrs. Xu and said, "Mrs. Xu, long time no see."

Mrs. Xu stood up and smiled slightly: "Doctor Zhou is here."

"That's right, you can smell the aroma of the food before you come in, Mrs. Xu is really good at cooking." Zhou Yuan said, "I wonder if I can have a taste of the food?"

"Then it's a coincidence that you came, we just started." Mrs. Xu raised her hand to Xu Yan's side, "Please sit down."

When Zhou Yuan walked over, Ye Liuzhou heard Ah Zhong beside him say angrily: "This posturing guy is here to eat again."
