Ce Yu forgets his worries for a thousand days

Behind him, he still felt that his thin back in front of him was vaguely indistinct, as if he was going to disappear at any moment.After Baicaoyuan was destroyed, it was the first time he went out of the valley, and the scene in his memory was not what it is now. He couldn't help reaching out his hand, and secretly grabbed the corner of Sima Yi's clothes.

Feeling that the person behind him was short of breath and getting closer to him, Sima Yi curled the corners of his mouth, knowing that he was nervous, so he slowed down his pace and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, we'll be there soon." As soon as the words fell, All I could hear was a howling wolf coming from the front.The sound resounded through the forest, and before it ended, countless similar howls sounded from all directions, and it was impossible to tell whether it was the echo or its other companions ambushing around.

Sima Yi still looked like he didn't care about anything, and dragging the stiff little man behind him, he took a big step forward, just stepping on a dead branch that fell to the ground, following the howling sound It was getting smaller and smaller, and everything was silent, and the sound of "click" was particularly harsh.

"...Master!" Zhou Yu exclaimed in a low voice behind him, fearing that he would startle the snake and annoy the beasts in the forest.

"What are you afraid of?" Sima Yi walked forward self-consciously, raised his hand to push away the forest leaves blocking the way, causing another rustling sound, "Master is here."

Zhou Yu took his steps lightly, followed him a few more steps tremblingly, and the surroundings became completely quiet.

Sima Yi stood still under a tree, took a breath, and looked up at the dense tree crown.

Zhou Yu also looked up, but he couldn't see any difference between this tree and the surrounding ones.He was about to ask, when the branches and leaves above his head shook slightly, and then a sparrow flew down from the tree.

Sima Yi stretched out his hand with a smile, and the sparrow landed on the back of his hand obediently.

"The effect of the medicine is over again, huh?" Sima Yi said, flicking the little bird's head, he took out a small red pill from nowhere, brought it to its mouth, and said with a smile, "Try it, how about this?" ?”

The bird seemed to be able to understand human words, swallowed the medicine in his hand, flapped its wings again, and got into the dense forest leaves covering each other in an instant.

At the same time, in the direction where it disappeared, a very imposing tiger howl resounded through the world, making people terrified.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu finally understood.

——So it turned out that Master was able to exchange Baicaoyuan for many years of peace in this way.

"Little guy, come back to your senses," Sima Yi saw that Zhou Yu was still in a daze, so he snapped his fingers in front of him and said, "Aren't you afraid now?"

"Master, you are like this," Zhou Yu hesitated, but still reminded him intentionally, "...you can only guard against people. What should you do if a monster breaks in?"

Hearing this, Sima Yi smiled and said, "Aren't you a demon?" Before he finished speaking, he frowned slightly, and shook his head again, "Eh...no, you don't have any demonic aura about you."

Zhou Yu was taken aback.All he knew was that Cao Pi bestowed spiritual power on his body to help him take the human form, but he didn't know what kind of identity "Zhu Ran" existed in.

"I……"

Sima Yi saw his embarrassment, so he didn't ask any more questions, and took the initiative to take the conversation back: "That's fine. My apprentices are very smart. You look dumb, be careful not to be bullied. "

Speaking of this, Zhou Yu finally remembered something and asked, "How many disciples does Master have?"

"Zhou Yu" in this time and space, what exactly...

Sima Yi thought about it with his fingers, and murmured vaguely: "Hmm... Eleven? No... Thirteen... Hey! I can't remember, I can't remember! Go back later, you count them one by one That's right."

"..." Such an answer left Zhou Yu speechless.

The two walked further into the depths of the mountain forest. At this time, when they looked around, they could see verdant green everywhere.Living in the mountains, there is no way to tell the direction, but Sima Yi has always been calm and composed, leading Zhou Yu to shuttle through the forest.

Although the scenery in front of him has always been very similar, Zhou Yu can tell from the ups and downs of the terrain under his feet that they are constantly approaching the bottom of the valley.Hearing the familiar sound of running water faintly in the distance, his heart began to beat wildly, and he silently hoped that the place he would see after a while was still the one in his heart, the Baicaoyuan where we had lived together for many years .

As we approached the bottom of the valley, the thick fog in front of us gradually dissipated.On both sides are smooth cliffs soaring into the clouds, and a clear and shallow stream is sandwiched in the middle, meandering to nowhere.A strong medicinal fragrance drifted leisurely from the upper reaches of the creek. Sima Yi leaned slightly to sniff the smell, nodded with satisfaction, and then led Zhou Yu up the stone steps on the cliff to a man-made place. In the excavated stone cave, follow the only road to the entrance of the cave in front.

The plants, trees, houses, and people in front of them became clearer as they got closer to the entrance of the cave. The stream outside the cave was still rushing, but the sound could not cover Zhou Yu's thumping heartbeat.

Leaving the cave, everything was out of the darkness and presented clearly in front of the eyes.

Crazy rocks and flowers, smoked green trees, and a few well-regulated low bamboo houses, everything that comes into view really coincides with the memory.

——Where is this not Baicaoyuan?

"Master...Master!"

Hearing being called, Sima Yi slightly raised the corners of his lips, and looked at the source of the voice with doting eyes, just like a loving father.

But Zhou Yu froze in place when he heard the voice.

Although I had already prepared in my heart, but when I actually faced it, I couldn't help but be shocked.

He was all too familiar with the slightly childish, yet unaltered voice of a teenager.

——That was, my own voice.

origin

Zhou Yu lived in Baicaoyuan as Zhu Ran.

Life in Gu Zhong was very leisurely, and Sima Yi didn't deliberately ask his disciples to do anything other than endorsement.And Zhou Yu had already memorized those books by heart, so every day he first pretended to read some books, and then went to talk to the brothers who hadn't seen him for many years, and helped them as much as possible.

From the beginning to the end, Zhou Yu tried his best to avoid two people, that is little Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang.

Zhou Yu didn't know what he was afraid of, he just felt that the farther he was from the two of them, maybe they were one step further away from danger.But they are in Baicaoyuan together, so they inevitably meet several times a day.In addition, I used to be so naive and active, always curious about new personnel and things, so the more I avoided, the more frequently little Zhou Yu found me.

The former self, before Zhu Ran appeared, was the youngest one in the valley.After finally having such a "junior brother", naturally he will not let him go easily.

I remember that in the past, I always liked to chase after Zhu Ran, calling him one by one.He seemed to be about the same age as him, and his mind was very mature, maybe he was actually older than him.But he just smiled with such a good temper, every time he called "junior brother", he would take the trouble to answer.

… Now that he has changed his position, Zhou Yu realizes that the original "Zhu Ran" faced all kinds of things in this valley with such an emotion of worrying about gains and losses.

I want to be closer to them, I just want to be closer to them.

If this is a dream, then never wake up again.

……

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother!"

The arm was pinched viciously, and the man didn't use much force, but pulled Zhou Yu back to reality.

"...What's the matter?" Seeing little Zhou Yu frowning in dissatisfaction, Zhou Yu smiled and added, "Brother?"

Hearing this address, little Zhou Yu nodded contentedly, stuffed a handful of herbal medicines into his junior brother's hand, pointed to the various medicinal materials piled up in a hill by his feet, and complained: "These broken medicines are so hard to recognize, Master asked them I'll sort them out before dark, but I think . . . "

Zhou Yu was very careful about "myself", and said clearly, "Brother, are you going to be lazy again?"

"No!" Little Zhou Yu shook her head, "I know Master is doing it for my own good, but I've been really tired recently, and senior brothers and the others can't find anyone...I promise you, I'll be there in two hours!"

Zhou Yu was taken aback. Could it be that the master knew what would happen in the future, so he would be strict with the disciples at this time?

Thinking about a few days ago, Zhuge Liang mistakenly confused two herbs that looked very similar. Keep the appearance and efficacy of the medicine in mind.

... At this time, the master is also worried about gains and losses?

"Senior brother," Zhou Yu sighed softly, and said to little Zhou Yu, "Since it is the master's order, it is better for the senior brother to complete it by himself. Master has high hopes for you, you..."

"Hey, hey, why are you starting to preach?" Little Zhou Yu turned his back with a flick of his sleeves, glanced at his face, as if I was a senior brother and you can't help me, "I don't care, I'm tired today, so I have to go Take a rest in Jingliutan. You have to tell Master to go ahead, and I will accept the punishment."

Zhou Yu looked helplessly at the stubborn child in front of him. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at his hands behind his back. The slender fingers had been rubbed with small blisters due to contact with medicinal herbs for several days, and there was a dry bloodstain in the middle of his palm. Impressively in the eyes, it can be seen what kind of hardships the young man has experienced in the past few days.

Zhou Yu's heart that was still determined to refuse suddenly softened.

"Just two hours, if Master finds out, I..."

Seeing his junior brother let go, little Zhou Yu turned around and blinked at him, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, senior brother, I will do what I say!" As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand and clenched his little finger into a fist, wanting to
