Travel thousands of miles in my life

In the early morning, the pivot star in the sky has not yet set.

"How do you feel today?" The boy pushed the door into the room with a plate with a broken corner, and said hoarsely, "Can you sit up?"

He opened the wooden window, and the cold wind swept in, carrying the corrupt atmosphere in the house and escaping.The man looked out the window day after day without moving, like a delicate jade carving.The young man sat by the bed, wrapped the person on the bed with a blanket, picked up the plate and said, "Take the medicine."

The man who was lying on the bed supported the edge of the bed with one hand and slowly sat up. It was just a simple movement, but it made him sweat profusely. hanging down.

"According to what they said, you should be fine after taking this medicine." The young man looked at the dark brown medicinal liquid in the dish and said to himself, "You should be fine too."

Hearing this, the man paused for a while with his arms that were still adjusting his posture, raised his eyes to look at the boy, and asked, "Gu Ping, what do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything." Gu Ping grinned and put the plate in his hand, "Drink quickly."

The man took it and drank it down.The aftertaste of the sour and bitter concoction still lingered between his lips and teeth, and he stared at the small saucer that was no bigger than his palm in a daze.Gu Ping hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Lu Chen, why...why did you get hurt like that?"

The man's sharp eyes stared straight at him. Under those black and white eyes, no one would feel that there was nowhere to hide.Gu Ping gritted his teeth and stared at him.

"You should have asked this question three years ago." Lu Chen shook his head, closed his eyes wearily, and leaned back against the mottled wall.

After a long time, the man supported the cabinet beside the bed, his arms were trembling, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He reached out and touched the boy's cheek, and said in a low voice, "I don't have much time, so I can only advise you."

"Don't be persistent."

Gu Ping suddenly clenched his fists, looking at Lu Chen's thin and extremely tired face, he felt a puff of breath trapped in his chest.He was so blocked that he wanted to vent his anger by yelling desperately, but also wanted to find a place to cry hard.He raised his head, wiped his reddened eyes fiercely, and asked in a cold voice with a choked voice: "You have been drinking medicine for so many days, how can it be bad...how can... ..”

After all, he was just a teenager.Lu Chen looked at Gu Ping's tears that he was trying to restrain, his trembling fingertips, his shabby clothes and dirty long hair and suddenly laughed.The arc of his mouth became more and more presumptuous, and his laughter became louder and louder.Gu Ping, who was smiling straight away, looked at him blankly. In his impression, this person would never smile like this.

"Gu Ping." He solemnly called out to the young man, and said in a deep voice: "My master has ordered that the people I see should not be defeated by the world above and the common people below. Putting your own safety at risk."

"So there are some things, whether I'm here or not, it doesn't make any difference. It's Lu Chen's fortune to receive your kindness. But we cultivators, life and death have already been determined."

Gu Ping looked at him incredulously, and asked aloud: "What do you mean?!"

"Don't buy any more medicine in the future, why don't you give yourself a good supplement." Lu Chen closed his eyes and returned to his usual indifferent look.

Gu Ping was out of breath, so he raised his hand and smashed the pottery dish in his hand to the edge of the bed. With a muffled clang, the dish split into pieces in an instant.

He hastily picked up a few pieces and ran to the door, but suddenly stopped and turned around, saying word by word: "I tell you, you owe me your life, I won't let you die so soon, every day You have to drink the medicine, this is what you owe me!"

Lu Chen was dazed for a while, lowered his eyes, and gently picked up the crumbs of the plate on the edge of the bed.After watching for a long time, I laughed.

Ajiye is still hot, Yan Wuyi and the two have already arrived at the canyon under the cliff, and they are looking around at this time.

"I think the surrounding area is a bit... strange." Wen Shuqiu looked around, and only saw a house with a white roof and a stream not far away. He was still thinking while frowning.Yan Wuxin also saw the stream. He walked over a few steps and squatted beside the stream, as if he wanted to grab a handful.

"Don't touch that water!" Wen Shuqiu stopped him suddenly, looking at the slightly turbid stream, he felt an indescribable feeling lingering in his heart.Yan had no intention of hearing what he said, so he didn't touch it anymore, but just smelled the water, then turned around and said, "It's fishy, ​​sour water."

Wen Shuqiu felt puzzled, acid water was undrinkable water, but judging by the arrangement by the stream, it seemed like the only source of water for the nearby people to rely on.

Yan Wuwu thought of something, patted his shoulder, and said softly, "Don't you think it's too quiet around here?"

Wen Shuqiu was startled, and only then remembered that there was not even a single sound of birds or beasts in the surrounding area, not to mention the absence of human voices.He thought it was because the weather was so hot that the residents were reluctant to come out for activities, but now that he thought about it, it might be more than that.But he could feel someone spying on them, passing them from all directions with speculation, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"If not, why don't you find a family to ask about the situation?" Wen Shuqiu thought for a while and asked.

"No, there seems to be someone watching here." Yan Wuwu shook his head and raised his chin to the front: "Someone is here, and there are quite a few of them."

A group of people came in front, the leader was riding on a horse, looking down at the two of them from above.A lot of ragged people carrying farm tools followed behind.The person in charge looks ordinary, but the high cheekbones and narrow eyes make him look very difficult to get along with.Looking away from the leader, Wen Shuqiu took a closer look at the people behind, and couldn't help but gasp.Those people looked very scary, some had no nose, and there was just a black hole in the face; His body was covered with rough black hair, Wen Shuqiu calmed down before he stabilized his mind.

The leading man squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, and his gaze rested on Wen Shuqiu's face unscrupulously. Yan Wuxi couldn't help frowning, and took a step forward to block the unbridled gaze.At the same time, he also noticed the ten or so people in the back, they were also very shocked at first glance, but he had experienced many more things than Wen Shuqiu, so he covered up his emotions very well.

"Who are you?" The man on the horse asked loudly, raising his whip at the two of them, without any intention of getting off.

"Brother, forgive me, my elder brother and I came to Ajiye for fun. We never thought about losing our horse and getting lost, so we bumped into you by mistake." Wen Shuqiu bowed and said softly.

"This is the mining area of ​​Shizhen, where is the place to play?" Unexpectedly, the man just sneered: "What a mistake, catch them and let adults clean them up."

Wen Shuqiu was startled, and when he was thinking about the idea of ​​getting away, Yan Wuwu held his arm and said in a low voice, "It's fine to be arrested."

He frowned, and had no choice but to say softly, "I hope the cell isn't too dirty." The two of them didn't put up any resistance, and were easily tied up tightly by the gang of weirdos, leading the rope all the way to the depths of the canyon. go.The deeper you go, the fewer white houses there are. When you reach a cave in the shadow of a cliff, the two of you are pushed into it, and there are a few strange men guarding the door.The cave is quite big, but it is a straight-through shape, and the situation inside can be seen at a glance from the entrance of the cave. There are haystacks and stones scattered on the ground, and there are many bloodstains and random depictions on the wall. Taking advantage of the dark candlelight , is really not a good place.

Wen Shuqiu tidied up an open space and came out, sat down, looked at the man in front of him who seemed to be sleepy with his head on his hands, and said helplessly, "Should I be thankful that I left my baggage at the inn?"

Yan Wuxin waved his hand, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's just an emergency." Wen Shuqiu shook his head, and took out a small piece of gold sore medicine from his body, and stuck it on his wrist, which was torn by the rope just now.

Yan Wuxin looked at his wrist, the red marks on his fair skin were particularly conspicuous, he stopped talking and smiling immediately, and touched his nose: "Does it hurt?"

Hearing this, Wen Shuqiu raised his head and looked at him in surprise: "Are you okay? How could such a small injury hurt? How can I be so delicate." Then he explained: "I'm afraid that this place is not clean, and if I break out, I will It's not good."

"It's fine if it doesn't hurt, there's still more to wait for." Yan Wuwu lay back again, and after a while, he suddenly said: "Since you feel bored, let's talk, anyway time will be wasted .”

Wen Shuqiu thought bewilderedly, when did I feel bored, but he continued along with the words: "Okay, what do Brother Yan want to talk about?"

"Why don't we talk about history?"

"...I, I'm just a pseudonym..." Wen Shuqiu hesitated and said, "I read a few books when I was young, but I can't talk about it if I want to."

"Then let's talk about marriage. How about it? Did your uncle or aunt make an engagement for you? You are not young anymore, do you have a girl you like? What kind of girl do you like?" Yan Wuxin sat up and said with great interest.

Wen Shuqiu was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbfounded, then lowered his head to organize his belongings: "No, none. Who knows what I like before I meet you." Seeing that Yan Wuyi nodded with deep understanding, Wen Shuqiu asked with a smile: "What about you? You are a little older than me."

"Me?" Yan Wuwu pointed to himself, his expression was a little dazed, but he quickly laughed and said, "Look at the fate. I'm a big trouble, who can bear me."

Wen Shuqiu also laughed. He was not as resolute as Yan Wuyi, and his face even had the soft flesh of a teenager. When he smiled, his eyes would narrow into crescents.Although he cares about etiquette very much, he doesn't purse his lips when he smiles. He always shows his white teeth and the little tip of his tongue hidden behind the white teeth, making him look younger.Yan Wuwu stared at the tip of his tongue for a long time, and suddenly asked without thinking: "Qiu, tell brother, are you really weak?"

"Ah? Of course, I started traveling when I was 15 years old." Wen Shuqiu didn't know why.

Yan Wuxin raised his eyebrows: "Coincidentally, I was also famous when I was around 15 years old."

While the two were chatting, there was a commotion at the door, as if some dispute had arisen, and some random arrows shot in.Yan Wuwu stood up in an instant, swung his sleeves and shot away random arrows, pulling Wen Shuqiu behind him, and the two stood behind the raised rock wall of the cave.More and more random arrows came in, and the angles became more tricky, Yan Wuwu clicked his tongue, stuffed Wen Shuqiu into the shadow again, and said: "I'll go and see, you are not allowed to come out."

Wen Shuqiu nodded: "Be careful, there is no medicine now."

"Yeah." Yan Wuxin didn't say any more, and jumped out of the cave. Although there were many random arrows, Chasing the Clouds and Treading the Moon focused on agility, so it seemed very easy for him to dodge it, and he even thought about turning his head and laughing at Wen Shuqiu. smiled.The doorway was clearly divided into two groups for the sake of a dozen strange people. The two groups of strange people kept shooting arrows at the opposite side, and some random arrows shot in like this.Yan Wuxin's expression darkened, and he jumped down.Because neither of these two groups had martial arts skills, he just swung his Xuqing palm towards the ground, and the palm wind picked up dust and knocked down the most violent people in the front row.Seeing this, the other weirdos were all shocked, turned around and put down their weapons and wanted to run away.

Yan didn't want to let them run away, he kicked a few strange people lying on the ground with his toes, and raised the corners of his lips when they cast terrified gazes.

"Would you like to talk about it now?"
