startled autumn

Since that night, Shen Zhiqiu has lived in bed.

Regarding this, Han Bi said this: "When your cold poison flares up in the middle of the night, your body is as cold as ice. If you want me to put you on the ground and leave you alone, I can't help but feel unbearable."

Shen Zhiqiu: "How can I let you sleep on the ground?"

Han Bi smiled and said, "I only sleep on the bed."

As a result, Shen Zhiqiu could only find another place to live: "But, if I move out to sleep, what should you do if someone sneaks up on me at night?"

You were poisoned, and you fell into a coma in the middle of the night. Even if someone sneaked up on you, it would be useless for you to be around?Although it was such a truth, of course Han Bi would not just tell the truth like this, but deliberately teased him: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, I can't help it."

Shen Zhiqiu had always followed Han Bi's opinion on some trivial matters, but now Han Bi let him make up his own mind, which instead made him difficult: "What should I do..."

Seeing him troubled, Han Bi felt happy: "Don't think about it."

After all, he pushed him into the bed and lay down on the bed, then pressed the corners of the quilt tightly for him, and went to bed himself, but slept outside, about two palms away from Shen Zhiqiu, just listen He smiled and said, "Go to sleep, it's not the first time."

Shen Zhiqiu felt that he was very reasonable, so he fell into a peaceful sleep.

In the dream, Shen Zhiqiu seemed to be floating and sinking in the bottomless water, ups and downs, and then everything suddenly froze, and he was embedded in the ice, unable to get out for a while, but fortunately, before he suffocated, a stick stretched out from nowhere. With warm hands, he carried him ashore.

There was probably a spring breeze on the shore, gently brushing his cheeks.

Between half-dream and half-awake, he finally couldn't help curling up slightly, but he still slept very well. Even though there was a heat source next to him, he resisted not approaching it.

There seemed to be someone sighing helplessly in the ear: "It's really bragging..."

Shen Zhiqiu recognized that it was Han Bi's voice, and the vague orchid scent on Han Bi's body filled his little mind and occupied his entire world. Finally, he surrendered and threw himself into the world. In the warm embrace.

A night without dreams.

That night, Bai Yan was sitting alone in the room, unlike usual, he was dressed in white in private, with a cold expression on his face, his eyes were calm, and he was waiting for someone to come.

"Ahe, long time no see." He said softly.

In the shadows, someone paced out.

It turned out that the person called "Ahe" was none other than Lu Zheliu.

"You are probably the only one who still calls me Ah He in this world." Lu Zheliu looked at him with a half-smile, "Could it be that you forgot, what is my name now?"

Bai Yan looked at him silently for a while, then said: "Zhe Liu."

Lu Zheliu didn't care about his reticence, but murmured: "I want to meet your guest."

Bai Yan: "You mean...Han Bi?"

Lu Zheliu shook his head and said, "No." After a pause, "It should be his entourage that I want to see."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yan naturally thought of "Han Banbu". Although Han Bi had said that this person was his manager and had followed him for many years, Bai Yan couldn't see anything wrong with him just by looking at him vertically or horizontally. He looks like someone who has been a slave for many years, especially because he has a high level of swordsmanship, and his behavior is more like a well-born and decent swordsman.If one had to say that he was an ordinary manager who was willing to be by Han Bi's side, it would be weird.

"Why did you see him?" Bai Yan wondered.

Lu Zheliu sighed softly: "Baiyan, do you still remember Shen Zhiqiu from Yancheng ten years ago?"

Bai Yan sneered, "Why should I remember a dead person."

"What if I say, he's not dead?" Lu Zheliu said word by word.

Bai Yan raised his head and looked deeply at Lu Zheliu's gentle face and his obsidian eyes. He felt that the darkness was so deep that he couldn't see the end: "Did you not kill him?"

"I killed."

"But he's still alive."

"That's why I want to see him." Lu Zheliu said lightly.

Bai Yan suddenly laughed, his voice was shrill and piercing, making his laughter even more strange and inexplicable.

"I knew you wouldn't be able to do it. I should have gone to Yancheng myself to cut off his head for you." After a pause, "Fortunately, it's not too late..."

It turns out that "Han Banbu" is Shen Zhiqiu, since he is now in the Fuluan sect, the right time and place could not be better to kill him.

However, Lu Zheliu pinched Bai Yan's jaw with such force that it seemed to crush his bones, and said coldly: "Bai Yan, I said before that you are not allowed to do anything for me without authorization, so it is the same now. "

"What if I have to do it?"

Lu Zheliu smiled lightly: "If so, I will never see you again in this life."

Bai Yan was silent for a while, and then said inaudibly: "I will listen to you."

Lu Zheliu let go of him, turned around and left, the room returned to the desertedness before, Bai Yan maintained the posture threatened by Lu Zheliu until his whole body became stiff before gradually collapsing on the floor, and slowly closed the door. squinted.

In the cave, Han Bi and Shen Zhiqiu didn't know anything about the above-mentioned matters, and spent another two days in a state of boredom, usually Han Bi read a book, Shen Zhiqiu practiced the sword, and the two of them talked a few words from time to time, but they felt at ease.

Shen Zhiqiu often mentioned Xiao Shaoling in the chat: "I don't know how the big brother is doing recently. I haven't discussed with him for half a month. I hope he won't be depressed."

"Are you often with Xiao Shaoling?" Han Bi asked.

"Master and Mistress have gone on a wandering trip. Most of my swordsmanship was taught by my elder brother himself. Moreover, we live in the same courtyard, so naturally we see each other every day." Shen Zhiqiu replied honestly.

"After I go back, I will build a few more yards for you, Mo Yi." Afraid that he would refuse, Han Bi added, "It's your reward for saving my life this time."

Shen Zhiqiu didn't quite understand Han Bi's sudden idea, but the matter of the monastery he proposed didn't do any harm to Mo Yi, so people couldn't think of a reason to decline it, and in the end he just said seriously: "I didn't save you for the sake of Your answer."

Han Bi didn't want to deal with him, so he said decisively: "If I have received someone's favor, he will feel uncomfortable if I don't repay him for a day. I just want to give you the yard now. Do you want to see me feel uncomfortable?"

Shen Zhiqiu shook his head again and again: "In that case, you can give it away if you want."

The two talked for a long time, and then a servant sent by Baiyan entered the cave without a sound. Although the footsteps were very light, Shen Zhiqiu noticed it, and asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?"

The attendant bowed and cupped his fists and said, "My lord, please invite Mr. Han to have a gathering."

Han Bi responded, "Let's go now."

Shen Zhiqiu also followed, but was stopped by an attendant, and said: "The leader only wants to see Mr. Han today."

"At that time, I will stand farther away." Shen Zhiqiu discussed.

The attendant still shook his head: "It's not that I can't accommodate, but the leader said, only Mr. Han is the only one."

Han Bi said leisurely: "If I can't take him with me, I won't go either."

"My lord also said that he has a friend who is an old friend of this young master. He wants to see him, so I must ask Mr. Han to agree to this matter no matter what." When the attendant said this, his eyes were on the Shen Zhiqiu's.

An old friend?

Han Bi's heart skipped a beat, and he had already had a general idea, but he still asked, "Can you tell me the name of this so-called old man?"

Shen Zhiqiu was also at a loss when he heard the word old friend. In his opinion, his old friends were all in Yancheng, and they should not be related to the Fuluan Sect at all, so he also said to the attendant: "Please tell me understand."

The attendant asked three questions and didn't know: "The leader just said that when you see that person, you will naturally know."

When he said this, Han Bi was [-]% sure about who the old man was. He looked at Shen Zhiqiu with complicated eyes, and saw that he was bewildered, unable to guess who was looking for him. It's funny, mixed with a bit of worry.

Shen Zhiqiu didn't know what was going on in Han Bi's mind, he just asked his opinion habitually: "Should I go?"

Some things can't be kept hidden for a while, not to mention the thorns in the heart, the deeper the roots, the harder it is to get rid of. It's better to cut the mess quickly and let him face it in person. Anyway, no matter whether the result is good or bad, you still have to deal with it. Make up his mind.

Han Biyu said earnestly, "You go."

After getting an affirmative answer, Shen Zhiqiu nodded towards the attendant.

Not long after they left the cave, they parted ways. Han Bi was going to attend the white banquet, while Shen Zhiqiu was going to meet the unknown old friend. Come to you." Han Bi's martial arts are far inferior to Shen Zhiqiu's, but whenever he says to protect Shen Zhiqiu, the meaning is deep and sincere, as if there is nothing in the world that he cannot do.

But Shen Zhiqiu was very worried about him: "If Bai Yan wants to bully you, just yell, and I will come to rescue you when I hear it."

Han Bi said speechlessly, "No."

Shen Zhiqiu: "What if?"

Han Bi: "Okay, if you are in danger, you have to yell and let me rescue you. Let's make an agreement, okay?"

Shen Zhiqiu nodded and said, "This is the best."

The two let it go.

Shen Zhiqiu followed the attendant leading the way all the way forward, but found that the road was very familiar, and it actually led all the way to the tiankeng in the center. At the exit, there were bright lights shining down through the top of the tiankeng, which seemed to be densely packed. The heavy rain moistened the sycamore tree in the center of the lake like it was covered with pearls, swaying gently in the dim light.

The waterside, which was originally full of praying people, is now deserted.

The guide also left at some point, and Shen Zhiqiu was the only one left standing by the water in a daze, looking at the back of a figure under the sycamore tree.

The back was very strange, and Shen Zhiqiu could only tell that he was a man.

He was dressed in Tsing Yi, standing quietly under the tree, only the sound of sycamore leaves falling beside him caused ripples.

He turned around.

"Zhiqiu, please stay safe."
