Bai Su's hand holding the cup tightened, how could she not know, how could she not understand, Xiao Muzhi was exactly the same as his father, the same stubborn, the same refusal to listen to persuasion, the same. . . . .Once you have someone in your heart, you will never be shaken again.

Bai Su lowered his head, sighed deeply, and said, "I know I'm not qualified to persuade you, but your father is not here now, you must put the Qingfeng League first."

"Okay." Xiao Muzhi's eyes were like a bottomless ice spring, "But regarding Zili's identity, I hope Aunt Bai will not mention it to anyone else."

When Xiao Muzhi said this, it was in an unquestionable tone of calm command.

There is only one thought in Bai Su's mind, it is indeed, very much like his father.

"What about Zhong Lifu? Are you going to hide it from him too?"

"Yes."

"I see." Bai Su got up to leave, walked to the door, and couldn't help but turn around and said: "Mozhi, I hope you don't regret it."

Because of the conversation with Bai Su during the day, Xiao Muzhi couldn't help but think of many past events when he was young, so that he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

The room was quiet, and Lu Zili's shallow breathing could be heard beside him.

Xiao Muzhi half sat on the couch, gently held Lu Zili's hand under the quilt, and then separated the fingers little by little until the fingers interlocked.

Lu Zili's face was bright red in his sleep, as if trapped in a nightmare, his brows and eyes were tightly wrinkled, and because of the discomfort, he opened his mouth slightly to breathe.

Seeing this, Xiao Muzhi took the decoction prepared on the table, took a sip, then leaned over and fed it into the other party's mouth little by little.Lu Zili has long been familiar with what kind of illness he needs and what kind of medicine he needs to take. Even the Qingfeng League has such a medicine prepared at any time.

After taking a mouthful of the medicine, Xiao Muzhi still couldn't bear to leave, and he took Lu Zili's lips in his mouth again, biting his teeth carefully, sucking shallowly, but he didn't dare to kiss too deeply, for fear of hurting Lu Zili's lips. Woke up.Xiao Muzhi could only endure it, even though his body seemed to be on fire, he still fed the medicine one mouthful at a time, and then covered the other's eyebrows and eyes with delicate kisses.

Xiao Muzhi's hands are under the quilt, and the shape of Lu Zili's bones can be drawn through the clothes. He really wants to put this person in his arms and crush him, so that he can be by his side day and night, and never again. separate.

It was a long night, Xiao Muzhi had spent many such late nights alone, and now Lu Zili was by his side, how lucky he was.

Xiao Muzhi recalled the promise he made with Lu Zili's sister Xiang Luyi back then, that he would not set foot in Xiang's house for ten years, and see Lu Zili for ten years. After ten years, Xiang Luyi would cure Lu Zili's illness and bring him He sent it back to himself.So Xiao Muzhi could only wait patiently, waiting for the arrival of the ten-year agreement.

He couldn't wait any longer, but he didn't expect to meet Lu Zili in a place other than Xiang's house, but Lu Zili once again forgot about himself.

Since Lu Zili was not in Xiang's house, and since his illness continued to repeat like this, it could only show that the agreement back then was a scam. Even if he was as smart as Xiang Luyi, there was no way to really cure Lu Zili.But Xiao Muzhi has no way to hate Xiang Luyi, if there is anyone in this world who is sincerely kind to Lu Zili except himself, then Xiang Luyi is the only one.

Xiao Muzhi's eyes lingered on Lu Zili's face.He seemed to be able to see the shadows of the past on Lu Zili's mature face, from childhood to youth, from innocent child to glamorous teenager.

Xiao Muzhi remembered that they first met when he was ten years old.

At that time, he was studying with Le Xiaoweng at the Izumo Studio in Meishan. Day after day, it was boring and tasteless.

Life on the mountain is very poor. Le Xiaoweng is a Taoist, and every day there is a small porridge mixed with cold dishes, and nothing else to eat.His junior sister, Wen Lengxiang, also grew up in a Taoist temple. She is also a girl and eats little.But Xiao Muzhi couldn't do it, he was growing up, and he practiced martial arts every day, and his appetite was astonishingly large.Xiao Muzhi was also naughty when he was a child. There was nothing to eat on the mountain, so he wanted to go down the mountain to steal chickens.

In the winter of that year, the heavy snow covered the entire Meishan Mountain, so Xiao Muzhi would go down the mountain to steal chickens every now and then. The first few times went smoothly, but then there were more chickens missing, which always aroused people's suspicion. He was caught straight once, and he was taken up the mountain to find Mr. Le Xiao Weng Xing for questioning.

Le Xiaoweng was also unequivocal. After paying the villagers at the foot of the mountain, he punished Xiao Muzhi to kneel in the snow for an unlimited time until he was satisfied.

Because he ate a lot of chicken recently, Xiao Muzhi was able to hold on at first.But after kneeling for a day and a night, he couldn't do it anymore. His whole body was frozen like ice, and even the shaking of his fingers felt like he was wasting heat.

Just then, a child appeared in front of him.

It was a very small and beautiful child, wrapped in a thick quilt, his face was whiter than the white plums on Meishan Mountain, but his eyes were big and dark, and his lips were red and soft, even brighter than his junior sister. nice.

The little child wobbled over from under the plum blossom tree, looked at Xiao Mozhi with his head tilted, and then took out a piece of soft sponge cake from his arms, "Brother, are you hungry? Here is this for you."

Xiao Muzhi tremblingly stretched out his hand to take the pastry handed over by the little boy. Originally he was so cold that he even forgot to be hungry, but now he took a piece of hot sponge cake, and instantly ignited the desire for food, but ended up eating too eagerly , was choked, and after a burst of suffocation, he... fainted.

This was probably the most embarrassing thing in Xiao Muzhi's life, but after thinking about it, it was more fortunate.

Xiao Muzhi was already in the room when he woke up, but Le Xiaoweng's anger obviously did not dissipate, and he scolded Xiao Muzhi with a dark face, saying that he had never accepted such a naughty disciple (although he only accepted Xiao Muzhi and Wen Lengxiang, two apprentices), said that Xiao Muzhi had learned martial arts for four or five years, and kneeling in the snow for a short time would be useless. He was ashamed to call him Le Xiaoweng's apprentice, and then said For the next month, Xiao Mu will do the rough work alone, such as sweeping snow and carrying water, washing clothes and mopping the floor.

After speaking, he turned and left.

Xiao Muzhi also knew that it was wrong for him to steal chickens, so he obediently lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word.

Just as Le Xiaoweng went out, the door was pushed open again, and the little boy who had just given him the muffin came in.

The little boy smiled, leaned over and said, "My name is Lu Shu and Lu Zili, brother, what's your name?"

Because Xiao Muzhi was taught a lesson by his master just now, and he felt that it was because the child suddenly jumped out and gave him some muffin that he fainted, so Xiao Muzhi gave Lu Zili a bad look, " This is my room, who let you in? Also, where are you from? Why are you in Izumosai?"

After Xiao Muzhi's barrage of questions, Lu Zili's eyes immediately turned red, and his little face looked like he was about to cry: "Brother, don't you like me? But it's so cold outside, don't chase me away Let's go, my sister sent me to see a doctor."

At that time, Xiao Muzhi didn't even think about who Lu Zili's sister was, his attention was all on other things: "It's cold outside, won't you go back to your own room?"

Lu Zili pursed his lips: "I don't want to sleep alone, I'm afraid."

Xiao Muzhi sneered and said, "It's really a child, I dare not sleep alone."

"I was originally a child, I was only seven years old."

Xiao Muzhi was speechless. When he was seven years old, his father said he was a man. How could Lu Zili be so shameless and pretend to be pitiful when he was seven years old? Seven-year-olds are much thinner.

Seeing that Xiao Muzhi didn't speak, Lu Zili tugged at his sleeve and said, "Brother, did you promise me to sleep with you?"

Xiao Muzhi was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, and he didn't bother arguing with a seven-year-old child, so he reluctantly agreed to Lu Zili's bed.

At night, when Xiao Muzhi was sleeping, he found a cold body constantly arching into his arms.

Although Xiao Muzhi was punished to kneel just now, his body is in good shape. Even in winter night, his body is as hot as a stove. Lu Zili instinctively wanted to get closer to the heat source, so his whole body stuck to Xiao Muzhi like an octopus. body.

Xiao Muzhi pushed several times to no avail, so Lu Zi could only leave.

The resident people on Meishan are usually Le Xiaoweng, Xiao Muzhi, Wen Lengxiang, two brothers and sisters, and a cook, Mrs. Jiang, and now there is one more Lu Zili.Normally, there are occasional people going up the mountain to ask Le Xiaoweng to see a doctor, but because it is cold winter, there are very few visitors.

Lu Zili was a little afraid of Le Xiaoweng, and he didn't want to get close to Granny Jiang who was cooking. Although Wen Lengxiang was a little beauty, she was born as cold as ice, and it was too cold to get close to him even ten steps away. Therefore, Lu Zili Zili can only follow behind Xiao Mu every day.

Xiao Muzhi was sweeping the snow, while Lu Zili sat on the threshold holding the stove and watched.

Xiao Muzhi fetched water, while Lu Zili teased the hibernating turtle in the water tank.

Xiao Muzhi mopped the floor, and Lu Zili followed behind to eat pastries. Xiao Muzhi just finished mopping, and when he looked back, Lu Zili scattered pastry crumbs all over the floor, often making Xiao Muzhi scold him in anger. pause.What surprised Xiao Muzhi the most was that he could only eat porridge mixed with vegetables every day. Why did Lu Zili eat cakes from time to time? Later, he found out that Lu Zili was born to act like a baby. Grandma Jiang made various desserts for him alone.Granny Jiang also liked to pinch Lu Zili's little face, and said while pinching, "You are much cuter than Old Man Le's two apprentices, just tell me what you want to eat, and Granny will make it for you." Xiao Muzhi lamented inwardly , I knew that acting like a baby is so easy to use, so he would go down the mountain to steal some chicken, but it is estimated that it is more difficult for him to act like a baby than stealing a chicken.

While Xiao Muzhi was practicing, Lu Zili slept in the room.Only then Xiao Muzhi felt that the world was clean.

Xiao Muzhi couldn't tell what was wrong with Lu Zili, at most he was weak and sick, at least he looked much better than those who went up the mountain to seek medical treatment.

But once he heard his master say this about Lu Zili's illness: "He was congenitally damaged, and his mind was disturbed."

Xiao Muzhi thought about it for a long time after hearing it, but he couldn't see that Lu Zili was a crazy person, at most he was a coquettish and crying kid, oh, except sometimes at night, he would hug him and call him concubine mother for a while. Calling my sister for a while, isn't that just talking in my sleep?

But once when he was taking a bath with Lu Zili, Xiao Muzhi was really frightened by the blue and purple scars on Lu Zili's body.When Xiao Muzhi was practicing martial arts, he fell, fell, fell, or was punished by his master. He often had some scars on his body, but compared to the scars on Lu Zili's body, they were nothing compared to Lu Zili's scars.

Lu Zili had whip wounds, scalds, burns, cuts...there were all kinds of deep and shallow, there were old scars and some old scars, Xiao Muzhi couldn't imagine who would have the heart to treat a seven-year-old The child under such a murderous hand.Although in the hot water, Xiao Muzhi only felt that his hands and feet were icy cold, and his voice trembled unconsciously, "Zi Li, what are all the injuries on your body?"

Lu Zili tilted his head to think for a while, then gently stroked those scars with his hands, with a confused expression on his face: "I don't know either."

Although Lu Zili didn't say anything about it, Xiao Muzhi felt pity for Lu Zili's little brother from then on, and felt that he had the responsibility to protect him like a big brother.

From then on, Xiao Muzhi didn't think that Lu Zili was in the way and made noise, and would play with him from time to time.

Xiao Muzhi took Lu Zili down the mountain once.

According to Izumozhai's regulations, on the fifteenth day of every month, there is a market at the foot of the mountain, and the two disciples can go down the mountain with Granny Jiang to buy things.

Before going to bed the night before, Xiao Muzhi and Lu Zili talked about it.Lu Zili was also tired of staying on the mountain, excitedly expressing that he must get up early to go to the market.

The next morning, Xiao Muzhi, Lu Zili, Wen Lengxiang and Granny Jiang gathered at the gate together, and then they all went down the mountain together.

The town at the foot of Meishan is not big, but because there is only a market once a month, it is also very lively.

There are all kinds of small stalls on both sides of the street, selling everything.

Granny Jiang was busy buying food and daily necessities for a month. The three children all looked at those novelty toys with bright eyes, and even Wen Lengxiang couldn't help but look around.
