I am not repairing cultural relics in the Forbidden City

"It's fine if you don't want to say it." Tao Xiu sat outside the bathtub with a small stool, as if talking to himself, "No one forced you to say it. I was terrified too, I wasn't even angry..." After speaking, there was an imperceptible grievance in his tone.Qintang was doused with water, his long jet black hair was scattered in the water, he moved, turned around and grabbed Tao Xiu's hand which was wiping his back.

Tao Xiu was stuck in his heart, even though Qin Tang was holding his hand, he was still unhappy.

"I..." Qin Tang opened his mouth.

"Hey, don't say it." Tao Xiu stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, "It's easy to regret it later."

Qin Tang pulled his hand off and held it in his palm, and said in a low voice: "Tao Xiu, believe it or not, I... I don't know what happened, I did remember something, but... But that thing Too little, I don't know how to tell you."

"And..." Qin Tang sighed, "I have a problem with my body, you know that?"

Qin Tang raised his other hand, and put it in front of his eyes, the warm yellow light from the bathroom shone on his arm, without the delicate feeling of normal skin, but with a deadly paleness.

"Did you see it? It's dead." Qintang said softly.

Tao Xiu stared at the surface of the water, only feeling that the swaying waves made his eyes dizzy.

"Tao Xiu." Qin Tang put one hand on Tao Xiu's face, forcing him to raise his head to look at himself, "You are right, I do have perception of my body, now, I am My body is about to fail."

Tao Xiu looked at Qin Tang's dark eyes, and didn't know what to say for a while.

What can he do? He is just a master watch repairer. To put it nicely, he is a restorer, but in fact he is nothing...

Tao Xiu gritted his teeth, stood up and threw the towel to him, turned and walked out of the bathroom.

Qintang watched him close the door before he took off and fell into the bathtub. Qintang remembered that he had bathed in such a place before. It was a big wooden barrel, much bigger than this bathtub. His whole body was submerged in the wooden barrel, and as long as he squatted down a little, even his head could be completely submerged. Qintang slid down, gradually making his face disappear on the water.

The underwater sound became louder, and the outside sound became quieter. I couldn't hear the sound of begging for mercy, couldn't hear the sound of comfort, couldn't hear the heart-piercing sound, and couldn't hear anything. I could only hear my own heartbeat.

What's the point?Qintang thought blankly that he should have been slowly worn away by time in that gap long ago, as long as he waited for a few hundred years, his body would disappear completely, and what would be so scary by then? Woolen cloth?What is this look like now? Instead, those who are lingering are like those humble servants lying on the ground, like a dog, like a beast... Even if they get the love of others, they just want to get more from him in the end... …

Before Qin Tang could finish his thoughts, he suddenly felt someone grab his shoulders and lift him up.

Breathing suddenly became easier, and the water seemed to exert force suddenly at this time, scrambling to get into his nose, mouth and ears, Qin Tang didn't notice for a while, he was so choked that he couldn't stop coughing, and tears were forced out.

Someone handed him a towel, and Qin Tang subconsciously took it and wiped his face, then he paused and looked at Tao Xiu standing in front of him.

Tao Xiu had a very strange expression on his face. If he had to describe it, it was a kind of expression mixed with dissatisfaction and confusion and a little bit of anger. Qin Tang avoided his gaze and slowly wiped the water off his face. The bead was wiped clean, and it calmed down.

"So you don't actually like me, right?" Tao Xiu asked suddenly.

Qin Tang didn't expect Tao Xiu's first question to be this, and he was a little dazed for a while, not knowing how to answer, he pursed his lips, thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Mr. Tao saved my life, great kindness... "

"So you don't like me." Tao Xiu interrupted him, and repeated the question just now, but it didn't seem to be a problem, Qintang noticed that his tail note didn't rise.

Qintang's heart suddenly became tense. He had never seen Tao Xiu like this before. He lacked experience in dealing with people and didn't know how to deal with it. His heart moved and he decided to show weakness.

"Tao Xiu." Qin Tang changed back to the previous address, stretched out his hand to hold Tao Xiu's clenched hand, and said in a low voice: "I remembered something today."

"What?" Tao Xiu really relaxed, Qintang's show of weakness made him feel better, Qintang probably still has feelings for him, "What do you remember?"

"I used to live in that house." Qin Tang said softly, "Not only did I live there, but I also lived there for a long time, so long that I can't even remember how long. I don't know why I was there, but I should It's not a good thing." Qin Tang laughed at himself, "Today, it snowed heavily today... I still remember that it was also a heavy snow day, I wanted to go out to get some air, so I went out by myself, with a little girl by my side."

"Little girl?"

"Well, according to that time, it should be a servant. That little girl shouldn't be too old, and I can't remember the details. She kept persuading me to go back..." Qin Tang whispered, "But I don't know what happened. What's the matter, I just want to stay outside for a while."

"I was not in good health at that time, and finally went back... The next day I heard someone crying outside, and when I went out, I saw that little girl being beaten in the snow." Tao Xiu subconsciously looked at Qin Tang, Qintang had no emotion in his eyes, just narrated, "She has been crying, begging for help from this one, but no one paid attention to her, her face, hair, neck, and neck were covered with snow, and then she saw Me!" Qintang's voice suddenly became louder, "She suddenly yelled and said, 'It's all the son's fault, why should I be punished? The son ignored my advice and hid me and went out. I did what I should do, so why punish me? Me?' She yelled loudly, as if annoyed the person who beat her, and forcefully 'bang'..." Qin Tang smiled, "She stopped."

Tao Xiu was terrified when he heard this, and subconsciously clenched Qintang's arm with his other hand.

Qin Tang turned his head to look at him and said with a smile: "I've been thinking about this all day today, I'm afraid it's a bit of a demon, I'm sorry for scaring you today."

It seemed like a horror story before, but suddenly it turned into a warm movie at the last turning point. Tao Xiu didn't react, Qin Tang leaned over, hugged Tao Xiu with his wet body and whispered: "How could I not like you? You are so like me."

Tao Xiu's heart softened, and he forgot all his displeasure.
