chills

After drinking tea, the two went upstairs to rest for the night, settled the rent the next day, borrowed two fast horses, and continued towards Heshuo.

Along the way, Lu Huaiyuan didn't seem to be energetic.He always has a cold and fierce look at ordinary times, and he can see the coldness behind that person's back when he looks lightly at anyone.Now this listless look seems much closer.

Shen Huaiyu noticed his abnormality: "What's wrong?"

Lu Huaiyuan was absent-minded: "...it's nothing."

Shen Huaiyu is not the kind of person who likes to pry into other people's privacy, Lu Huaiyuan didn't say anything, he just said "um" and didn't ask him again, and then silently moved forward the station where he planned to stop by one.

So the journey, which was supposed to stop until the sun went down, stopped at noon.Lu Huaiyuan was still not in the mood, Shen Huaiyu watched helplessly as Lu Huaiyuan picked up the small bowl of soy sauce on the table and took a sip.

When Lu Huaiyuan drank it into his mouth, he already realized that something was wrong. His upbringing did not allow him to lose his composure, so he swallowed the soy sauce calmly.

Shen Huaiyu: "..."

Shen Huaiyu gave him a glass of water to rinse his mouth: "...are you okay?"

Lu Huaiyuan drank the water and shook his head.

Shen Huaiyu said: "...It's fine if there's nothing wrong."

Of course Lu Huaiyuan was fine.He has nothing else since he was a child, the best way to save face.When he first came to Qing Yunzong, he was about the same age as Shen Huaiyu, but his skills were not 01:30 points behind, so practicing kung fu can be said to be desperate, and he tried his best to catch up with his senior brother.Unlike him, Shen Huaiyu grew up among the brocade.

He was a little beggar picked up by Shen Lin when he was traveling abroad. At that time, Shen Huaiyu and a bunch of other little beggars were raised by a couple.

The couple's surname was Xu. The man was the second child at home, and was called Xu Er by others. He worked outside on weekdays;They adopted many children without father and mother, but they were not good to these children. They just gave them a bite to eat so that they would not starve to death. All the money was taken away.

That day when Shen Lin was passing by the street, he saw a child huddled beside the road, who looked about five or six years old, with tattered clothes, dirty like a mud monkey.

Out of curiosity, he took another look at the little mud monkey.But because of this look, the little mud monkey rushed forward, tightly clutching Shen Lin's robe and not letting go.

"...help me." He whispered with his lips squirming.

At that time, he was not as shrewd as other children, he could pretend to be pitiful, and the money he begged was always less than others. Every night when Xu collected the money, he would laugh at his empty broken bowl.

"Look at you! This little money is not enough to pay for food! I'm so unlucky to raise such an idiot like you!"

He lowered his head, not daring to speak.Xu talked to himself for a long time, but did not respond at all.She kicked him dissatisfied and screamed: "Speak up! Are you dumb!"

He was terrified, and shrank himself back as far as possible.Seeing his movements, Mrs. Xu became even more angry, and stepped forward to kick a few times fiercely: "How dare you hide! Run if you have the ability, who the hell is you, who killed his parents when he was born?" If you dare to take you in and have a meal with me, you should thank you for the high incense you burned in your previous life!"

Her voice was high-pitched, like a crowing bald-tailed hen.At that time, he was too young to understand what the woman was talking about, but he was overwhelmed by her piercing voice. He didn't know where he came from, so he stood up suddenly, pushed Xu's, and rushed out the door .

The crippled woman couldn't catch up with him, and kept yelling at him, but he didn't turn his head, thinking that even if he died outside, he would never come back.

He ran outside, not knowing where to go, tired and hungry, so he huddled in the corner of the street.It happened that Shen Lin passed by and took another look at him.Without even thinking about it, he rushed to ask for help.

Shen Lin prides himself on being coquettish and flirtatious, but he didn't expect to be so attractive, even little children would jump on him as soon as they saw him.It took him a lot of effort to break off the child's little dirty hands from the hem of his clothes. Looking at the two black handprints left on the clothes, he was a little dumbfounded.

"Are you hungry?" Shen Lin bent down and asked him.

The little mud monkey nodded.

Shen Lin sighed, picked him up, found an inn, asked the inn to bring hot water in the bathtub and some hot dishes, and asked someone to run errands to buy two sets of children's clothes.

He cleaned up the little mud monkey, and only then did he see his original appearance.He pinched all the bones in the child's arms and legs, and was shocked.

This kid has good talent, maybe it's the right time and fate for him to pick up this crooked attack.The little mud monkey had a full meal, put on new clothes, and was obediently sitting on the bed, tilting his head to look at Shen Lin.

Shen Lin suddenly felt full of joy, and felt that it would be good to pick it up and become an apprentice.

Shen Huaiyu actually doesn't remember clearly when he was a child, but the woman's sharp and piercing voice was deeply imprinted in his mind, instinctively frightening him.Fortunately, he didn't have much chance to come into contact with this kind of street shrew on Qingyun Mountain, so he wouldn't be too embarrassing usually.

Lu Huaiyuan was different from him.This guy doesn't seem to have a past that is too miserable to mention.It's a little strange to wake up in a mess and not normal.

After dinner, Shen Huaiyu asked Lu Huaiyuan to go to his bedroom to check the wound on his back.He watched Lu Huaiyuan drink half a bowl of soy sauce, felt that he could not let him go on like this, and made up his mind to pry the truth out of Lu Huaiyuan's mouth.

After so many years, Lu Huaiyuan is no longer that delicate young master who can't carry his shoulders and hands, and he recovers from his injuries much faster than ordinary people.But at the time, the injury was serious, followed by the exhaustion of boats and cars, which was a bit worrying.

Shen Huaiyu touched Lu Huaiyuan's back carefully: "Does it still hurt?"

Lu Huaiyuan said: "It's nothing."

His fingers touched Lu Huaiyuan's new fleshy back, which made Lu Huaiyuan itchy, and goose bumps appeared on his arms.

"Oh," Shen Huaiyu responded, seemingly unintentionally said, "This time we come to Heshuo without Qin Qin, so it's a bit boring."

Lu Huaiyuan didn't notice the insinuation in his words: "A little bit. That girl is as noisy as a parrot. Without her, she seems a little quiet."

Shen Huaiyu felt that she had figured it out: "Oh... We grew up together, it's normal for you to be close to her."

Lu Huaiyuan didn't know why.

Shen Huaiyu said again: "Although she wants to call you Shishu, it's still an empty courtesy. Master doesn't care much about this. When we meet, you can talk to him..."

Lu Huaiyuan wondered: "Brother, what are you talking about?"

Shen Huaiyu said: "Aren't you depressed because you miss Qin Qin and are afraid that Master will not approve your marriage?"

Lu Huaiyuan was taken aback, like a fried cat, jumped up from the bed with a face of embarrassment: "No! Nonsense! Who cares about that dead girl!"

"The reason why I was a little distracted was because I dreamed something."
