Difficult to live with a sword

Chapter 5: Don't

At night, Fang Yigu lay on the bed and looked at the three thousand leaves on his wrist, lost in thought for a long time.

"Bone, are you asleep?" Ouyang Du knocked on the door outside.

"No." Fang Yigu ran out of bed barefoot and opened the door.

Outside the door, Ouyang Du had just taken a shower and was only wearing an unlined garment.

He pushed Ouyang Du into the room, complaining: "I wear so little. It's cold outside, come in quickly."

Ouyang Du smiled and said, "You are still barefoot. Go back to bed."

Fang Yigu pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed, and wrapped the quilt around him.

"Are you going on a long trip?" Fang Yigu sat aside, shook his feet, and asked, "Can you take me with you?"

Ouyang Du thought for a while, took Fang's remains into his arms, wrapped them in a quilt, "Remains, do you know who I am?"

Fang Yigu shook his head.

Ouyang Du said: "There is a big force behind me. I am just one of the small leaders. This time I go back to gain greater rights. I want to be independent from the force."

Fang Yi asked, "What power?"

Ouyang Du hesitated for a while, and answered truthfully: "People in the Central Plains call it—the Demon Sect. We call it the Holy Sect."

Fang Yi's shoulders shook: "The Demon Cult? Have you... ever done something bad?"

"Did it. I've killed a lot of people. I've had a lot of enemies."

Fang Yigu raised his head and looked at Ouyang Du. He had an extremely beautiful face, and he was looking at him with downcast eyelids, his eyes were gentle.

Fang Yigu hugged Ouyang Du's waist tightly, and said: "I will definitely practice martial arts well." When the time comes, protect you well, and those who want to kill you, come and kill one by one.

He asked again, "How long will it be?"

"Don't know. Two years, three years, ten years, or forever."

After Ouyang Du finished speaking, he carefully looked at the child in his arms, he thought he would cry and say no, he must come back or something like that.

But Fang Yigu just opened his clear eyes and said calmly: "Five years, up to five years, if you don't come back, I will appear in front of you. At that time, let me protect you."

His mother had waited for his father, and waiting was a lifetime.And he spent ten years waiting for someone who would not come, this time, he didn't want to be a light keeper.

If you don't come back, I'll come and find you.No matter hell or earth, I will come.

Fang Yigu spent ten years, but only understood this truth. "There are some things that you can't wait to come back. Ouyang Du, if you don't come back, I'll come looking for you. You can't leave me behind."

Ouyang Du looked at the child in front of him and said childish words, but he couldn't ignore the seriousness in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Okay. Maybe it won't be five years."

He was about to get up and go back to the room, but Fang Yigu stopped him.

"You sleep with me tonight."

Ouyang Du thought for a while, lay down on the bed, held Fang's remains in his arms, and covered him with a quilt.

Fang Yigu's small body leaned half on Ouyang Du's chest, took Ouyang Du's hand, touched the three thousand leaves, and couldn't help asking: "Why are they the same?"

"It was cast together back then, so it's naturally the same. Keep it, it's left to you by your father."

Fang Yigu wanted to ask, "Why do you use the same thing as my father?" After thinking about it, forget it.Ouyang Du's affection for his father is probably deeper than his own.What have these two people been through?Can we form the friendship of Tuogu?Is it important that I am in his heart?

Fang Yigu has been bullied and ridiculed for too long, and suddenly someone treats him well, so he wants to make an inch of it.He is jealous that even his father occupies a position in this man's heart.

"Sleep, bones." Ouyang Du reached out and turned off the light.

"Yeah." Fang Yigu hugged Ouyang Du's waist, pillowed in his arms, and fell asleep.

The first day of the first lunar month is a festive day.

When Fang Yigu was still in the fishing village, every year today he could wear clean old clothes and eat leftovers from guests.

Occasionally, there are a few kind-hearted cousins ​​who give him a few copper coins. Although they will be confiscated afterwards, he still looks forward to the New Year.

But this year, time has changed and things have changed. He is no longer short of food and clothing, but he has a reluctant person in his heart.

This person will leave today.

He stayed on the bed and refused to get up.

Ouyang Du had already packed his luggage, sat by the bed and asked, "You still don't get up, you don't want to see me off?"

He covered his face with the quilt, and said in a muffled voice, "I won't see you off, so you're not leaving."

Ouyang Du touched his exposed head, and said, "Didn't we all agree last night?"

"I regret it." Fang Yigu sobbed, "I don't want you to go!"

"Except for me. Fei Hua, Shen Sui, and Wang Xing will all stay."

"I don't want them!"

Ouyang Du shook his head helplessly, "Bone, I have to go. You can go to sleep again." Sure enough, he is still a child.

Ouyang Du leaned over and gave him a hug, then turned and went out.

Fang's bones were wrapped in the quilt without making a sound, and only when the sound was silent did he show his head. His eyes were red and swollen, and he didn't know how long he had been crying.

Ouyang Du has already left.

After realizing this, Fang Yigu stiffened like a carp, got out of bed, tore off a cloak and put it on his body, without even wearing shoes, he ran out.

At the gate, Fei Hua, Shen Sui and Wang Xing are still there, but Ouyang Du is missing.He ran out of the gate and saw that the horseshoe prints on the mountain were still fresh, but he could no longer hear the sound of horseshoes.

He wanted to chase after him, but Fei Hua grabbed him, "It's cold, go back and get dressed."

He turned around, looked at them quietly, and asked, "Why don't you go?"

Wang Xing shook his head, "It's useless if we go."

Fang Yigu: "Then what kind of talents are useful?"

Shen Sui said: "There are people like your father."

"My father?" Fang Yigu felt that these people knew his father better than him.He asked: "Who is my father? What kind of person is he?"

Shen Sui pinched his beard and sighed: "Sword Master Fang Ji is unparalleled in the world. Among his peers, there is no one who can compete with him."

Feihua was startled when he heard the words, and thought, "It's actually Fang Ji's son, no wonder the young master likes it so much."

Wang Xing sighed and said, "It's Fang Daxia's son. Asked if there is someone who succeeds the sword. Old Shen, how do you know?" He looked back, and Shen Sui had already turned and left: "Hey, old Shen, wait a minute I."

"Feihua." Fang Yigu looked at the string of horseshoe prints and said, "I will definitely be stronger than my father. I will definitely help him complete his great cause."

Fei Hua was stunned and nodded heavily.

Snow fell from the sky, and the child walked barefoot in the snow, the snowflakes fell on his hair, and his hair turned white in an instant.

Suddenly, Fang Yigu's nose was itchy, and he sneezed heavily, his head was covered with snowflakes, flying in all directions.

Fei Hua laughed and said, "You have caught a cold. I told you to run out without clothes."

"certainly not!"

"Someone is thinking about me!"

"Someone misses you? Who do you think?"

"I want you to take care of it!"
