Allure with one sword

Sun Jingwen kept the pair of birds in the yard and enjoyed raising them all day long. He fed them until they were white and plump, but he himself was not doing well. He ate clear porridge and green vegetables every day, and his mouth It was boring, and in a few days, he might be as thin as Ye Qingshi.

When eating at noon, Ye Qingshi was still sitting upright, with green vegetables sandwiched between his slender bamboo chopsticks, he also ate very politely, sitting upright like before.Sun Jingwen lost his appetite. He stirred the porridge with his chopsticks, picked it up a few times, and put it back. He couldn't eat anymore. There was no oil or water.

Seeing him doing nothing, Ye Qingshi frowned and said, "Why don't you eat?"

Sun Jingwen pursed his lips, "In the Qing Dynasty, who could bear to eat these every day?"

Ye Qing was puzzled, "This is what I usually eat." He looked at the food on the table, two bowls of porridge, and two plates of green vegetables, placed on this old wooden table, it seemed a bit shabby. When he was in Ye Mansion, Sun Jingwen always ate big fish and meat every meal. He always ate lightly, but Sun Jingwen didn't like it. It was too difficult for Sun Jingwen to adapt to his daily life. He lowered his head, he and Sun Jingwen, Not only the living habits, but even the food is completely different.

Seeing that Sun Jingwen didn't have much appetite, Ye Qingshi didn't force it, he simply cleaned up after eating and went out.

Sun Jingwen didn't expect Ye Qingshi to really improve the food for him, so he complained a few words to vent his anger, but Ye Qingshi not only ignored him, but also took away all his bowls and chopsticks. He hasn't started yet, okay? The porridge and side dishes are not tasty, but they still fill my stomach. Now my stomach is thundering with hunger...

Alas, forget it, Sun Jingwen rubbed his stomach, after all, he has the cheek to serve Ye Qingshi now, if he wants to play with him and amuse him, he dares to ask for anything.Sun Jingwen sat slumped on the stone steps, thinking about it carefully, he has been here for almost two months, it seems that Ye Qingshi is serving him, and he didn't make Ye Qingshi very happy.Sun Jingwen sighed, like this, he didn't know when Qingshi would be willing to save Qingwan.

At sunset, Ye Qingshi came back as usual.

Sun Jingwen's body had already recovered, but today he was so hungry that he didn't even bother to dance the sword. He was playing with the birds in the yard, and when he saw the warm lights in the house, he was ready to go back to the house and have dinner with Ye Qingshi.He had to eat two more side dishes for this meal, oh, and two more bowls of porridge.

Ye Qingshi had already sat down at the wooden table, and Sun Jingwen sat across from Ye Qingshi, and glanced at the table. This glance frightened him, thinking that he was blinded by hunger.

Half a catty of stewed beef on the table was neatly sliced ​​and placed on a plate, and there was also a large plate of spicy chicken nuggets. I haven't eaten meat for almost two months. Sun Jingwen was really greedy, but this happiness came too suddenly. Some flattered ah.

Ye Qingshi didn't move his chopsticks, of course he didn't dare to move first, he glanced at Ye Qingshi with some doubts, the man was still sitting upright, expressionless.

Sun Jingwen raised his eyebrows and joked, "Is there something going on tomorrow that actually eats so well today?"

Seeing that Ye Qingshi didn't speak, Sun Jingwen said again, "Qingshi, what I said at noon was just a joke, you don't have to take it to heart."

Ye Qingshi nodded, "Eat quickly."

Sun Jingwen was a little moved. He took a piece of beef and put it in Ye Qingshi's bowl. The beef knife was so sharp that it was as thin as a leaf. The ratio of beef tendon to lean meat was just right, and it looked delicious.

"Qingshi, you also have a taste."

Ye Qingshi stopped Sun Jingwen when he raised his chopsticks, shook his head and said, "No need, I don't like to eat."

Sun Jingwen withdrew his hand embarrassingly, knowing that Ye Qingshi was used to being bland, but it was a pity that he had no luck to enjoy these delicacies.

Sun Jingwen hasn't eaten so satisfyingly for a long time. Ye Qingshi is always quiet when eating. Although they are at the same table on weekdays, they don't have much communication. They eat separately, but today Ye Qingshi broke the peace. .

"The utility room is too dirty and messy. It is always inconvenient for you to live there on a daily basis. Move to the second room."

"Huh?" Sun Jingwen was surprised. The utility room was indeed dirty and messy. There was no bed or table. Qing Shi, looking at Ye Qingshi's attitude, felt satisfied not to leave him in the woodshed.But, but, there is only one bed in the second room... "What about you, Qingshi?"

The utility room is dirty, and it's not good for Ye Jingwen's recovery. Ye Qingshi had long wanted to change Sun Jingwen's place, but he couldn't bow his head to Sun Jingwen, and he couldn't allow himself to be soft-hearted towards him. It's been two months , Sun Jingwen's injuries were healed.After getting along these days, he still can't be ruthless to Sun Jingwen.

"You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the bench."

"Uh..." Sun Jingwen was a little embarrassed. He knew that Ye Qingshi was kind to him, but he didn't like Ye Qingshi's way of giving him the best and begging for perfection. Really, he couldn't bear it, and he was afraid of it in the future Unable to respond. "Not so good... I'm actually quite used to it here, so don't bother..."

"I used to live like this in the Xuyu Water Cave, so you don't have to worry about me." Ye Qing said calmly, and didn't think there was anything wrong, but Sun Jingwen seemed to think too much. "Your injury has also healed. If you want to practice swords with others in the future, you can also tell me."

"En." Sun Jingwen's heart softened, he didn't know what to say, as if everything he said seemed pale and powerless.

Sun Jingwen thought that Ye Qingshi specially improved the food for him that day, but for several days in a row, the food was the same good, and sometimes they would change one or two fresh dishes, which made Sun Jingwen a little embarrassed.

One day, Sun Jingwen was practicing calligraphy with a sword in the yard. He always felt that there was some noise outside the yard. He looked outside the door for a few times but saw no one, so he put away the sword and walked to the gate.

As soon as I got out of the gate, I saw a seven or eight-year-old child carrying a basket, lying on the mud wall and looking into the yard.The two big eyes are rolling around, looking very clever.When he saw Sun Jingwen coming out, he was neither afraid nor hiding, so he put the basket in his hand back so that Sun Jingwen could not see it.

Sun Jingwen was amused when he saw the child, maybe the child from some family down the mountain got lost.

"Little brother, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking for big brother." The child answered honestly.

"Big brother?" Sun Jingwen frowned. It turned out that he was not a lost child. Could it be that the big brother he was talking about... Sun Jingwen looked back into the house, then shook his head, feeling that the picture that appeared in his mind was really strange, but there are still people in this mountain. Where does the second big brother come from.

"Why are you looking for him?"

The child shook his head, "I won't tell you."

Sun Jingwen smiled, looked past his small head, saw the food box and basket he was desperately hiding behind him, and probably guessed what he was here for.

Sun Jingwen squatted down, "Little brother, what's your name?"

"Aqi."

"Where are you from?"

"Here, come from below." The child pointed to the small town at the foot of the mountain.

"Muyang Town?"

The kid nodded.

"Has Big Brother gone to Muyang Town?"

The kid nodded again.

He went to Muyang Town alone, isn't he afraid that the villagers in the town will regard him as a monster?Or, has Muyang Town suffered a massacre?Thinking of the latter situation, Sun Jingwen was a little scared.

Sun Jingwen leaned closer, "Little brother, what did big brother do in town? Has anyone been injured or...died?" He tried hard to decide what words to use to make it easy for a seven or eight-year-old child to accept .

"No." The child shook his head, "When the big brother came to town, everyone was scared when they saw him. The adults said he was a monster, so everyone ran away, and my mother wouldn't let me play with him." The child turned black "There are still a few very powerful uncles in the town who want to bully him, but he beat him away in a few moments!" Said the child's eyes are full of joy, and he can tell that he respects Ye Qingshi a lot .

"Did those uncles bleed?"

"No. Everyone was scared away."

"Why don't you listen to your mother, aren't you afraid of him?"

"I'm not afraid, I'm a man!" The child patted his chest triumphantly, "Monsters all have teeth and sharp claws, big brother is not a monster." The child shook his head, "Is there such a good-looking monster? He gave me back the money!" The child patted a few copper coins hidden in front of his chest.Suddenly he tilted his head, and shouted behind Sun Jingwen, "Big brother!" and ran over with the basket.

Sun Jingwen turned his head and saw Ye Qingshi coming out of the house. He really admired that the child was not intimidated by the cold aura around him at all, and was very happy shaking the basket.

"Didn't I tell you to wait outside the yard?" He was cold even to children.

The child scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Take it in."

Knowing that Ye Qingshi was not angry, the child bounced into the house and put all the dishes on the table, not shy at all, and then bounced away with an empty basket after finishing.

Sun Jingwen sat in front of the square table in a good mood, "Did this kid bring all the dishes before?"

Ye Qingshi nodded, he could only make porridge and rice, it was not convenient for him to go to the town like this, so he had to ask a child to help him, it happened that the child was different from other children, he was not afraid of him at all, always He happily followed him.

"Ah Qi seems to like you very much." Sun Jingwen laughed.

"It turns out his name is Ah Qi."

"...He sent you meals for several days, you should remember his name anyway."

Ye Qingshi nodded.

Sun Jingwen was very happy that Ye Qingshi went to Muyang Town. He didn’t cause a bloodbath, and he brought a small follower back. It’s always good to have more contact with people. Sun Jingwen thinks that Ye Qingshi’s nature is very kind. He will also put down the matter of Bailong Town.

"Qing Shi." Sun Jingwen bit his chopsticks and called out tentatively.

"Ok?"

"Actually, have you ever thought about going back to Bailong Town?"

Ye Qingshi paused in his hands, and placed the pottery bowl heavily on the table.

Sun Jingwen quickly explained, "You have been out for so long, and the villagers in the town miss you very much."

Ye Qing raised his eyebrows, "How do you know that everyone in the town misses me?"

Sun Jingwen was startled, a little guilty, and said with a dry smile, "I mean, you have helped many people in the town. It has been so long, and when they calm down, they will definitely miss the time when Bailong Town had you."

Ye Qingshi glanced at him but said nothing, and Sun Jingwen didn't know whether he believed it or not.

After a while, Ye Qing said coldly, "I will not go back to Bailong Town, and I don't want to see the people in the town again."

"Qingshi..."

"You can't do it either, you can't have any more contact with them."

The author has something to say:

Don't ask me where Ye Qingshi's money came from. . .
