miss the old

Running around for half a month without a break.

Supporting a big tree beside him, Yun Jue closed his eyes, but the scene in front of him was still blurry.He also seemed to have exhausted his last strength, panting with difficulty, leaning his back against the tree, and sat down slowly.

"Go! Let's go!"

The father's roar still echoed in his ears, Yun Jue slowly closed his eyes, father, I'm sorry, the child may have let you down...

When regaining consciousness again, Yun Jue realized that he was actually lying on a bed.He struggled to prop himself up on one elbow when he heard footsteps approaching.

Perhaps his own eyes were too sharp, and the child at the door had a look of panic on his face. After hesitating for a moment, he leaned over cautiously, and put the steaming medicine bowl in his hand on the small table next to the bed.

"Well...you finally woke up, and you have been sleeping for six days."

The child's clear voice was like a clear spring. He was in a trance for a moment, but his heart returned to its place in an instant. The tight string was loosened. He gasped and lay down on the pillow again, watching the child help him lightly. After covering the quilt, he asked, "You saved me?"

The child smiled, his eyes bent into the shape of a crescent, and then he seemed to feel something was wrong, so he stopped laughing, "You fell in the woods near my house with a lot of blood on your body, so I will bring you back to my house La."

Yun Jue looked into his eyes, feeling a little regretful that the shape of the crescent moon disappeared in a flash: "Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy?"

The child blinked, as if he hadn't thought about this question. After thinking about it, he said, "I don't think you are a bad person. You are so good-looking, how could you be a bad person? You must have been hurt like this by a bad person. "

Yun Jude was amused, did this child judge good or bad by his appearance?

Seemingly realizing that Yun Jue didn't agree with his words, the child touched his nose and said, "My aunt taught me to 'be born from the heart', and when I look at your face, I don't think you are a bad person."

Perhaps children are a little more sensitive to good and bad?Then why didn't I see that person harboring evil intentions back then.A trace of hostility flashed across Yun Jue's eyes, and he heard the child continue: "Oh, after talking so much, it's time for you to drink your medicine."

The child helped Yun Jue up, leaned against the head of the bed, and took the medicine, "Uncle Yang said, you must drink it while it's hot."

Yun Jue took the medicine: "Who is Uncle Yang?"

"It's Uncle Yang who treats you. He's amazing. If people here are sick, they all go to Uncle Yang. Uncle Yang will be cured." Seeing that Yunjue drank up the medicine, the child nodded with satisfaction, "So you also It will be all right soon."

Hearing the child's relaxed tone, Yun Jue's eyes were stained with a smile: "Is it so powerful?"

"Of course." The child nodded, then seemed to remember something, and said, "You can't wear your clothes anymore, so Auntie asked Uncle Yang to change one for you."

Yun Jue looked at the clothes on his body. Although the fabric was very rough, he felt comfortable wearing it for no reason. Perhaps it was because the child was also wearing clothes of the same fabric. "Thanks."

The child shook his head, expressing that you are welcome. Seeing the tired look on Yunjue's brow, he carefully helped him lie back and covered the quilt: "Brother beauty, if you are not hungry, go to sleep first, it is almost noon , I'll call you when it's time to eat."

Beauty brother?Yunjue became sleepy after taking the medicine, and before he had time to explain that he was not called Brother Beauty, he nodded slightly, then grabbed the child who was about to leave, and asked with a trace of clarity, "What's your name?"

The child laughed, and Yun Jue saw those crescent moons again: "Brother Beauty, just call me Ah Ling."

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Yun Jue heard that clear spring-like voice calling him "Brother Beauty" in a trance, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the child's bright eyes.Seeing him wake up, she reached out to help him sit up.

"Aniang said that I can ask you to have lunch." A Ling put a small table in front of Yun Jue while talking, and seeing Yun Jue's puzzled face, said: "You have injuries on your body, it's not appropriate Get out of bed and walk around, and haven't eaten for six days, I'm afraid I don't have much strength left, so..."

Before Ah Ling could finish speaking, someone lifted the curtain and walked in.Yun decided to take a closer look, she was a woman who was nearly thirty years old, her hair was in a bun, her eyes were picturesque, her clothes were old but clean and tidy, her hands were slender and her fingers were slender, she was putting the food on Ah Ling's table one by one On the small table, the voice was as gentle as water: "So there is no need to see outsiders, and you will have dinner with us after you recover from your injury."

"A Niang." Ah Ling called obediently, and stood beside A Niang.

Yun Jue expressed gratitude: "Thank you..."

Yang Wan smiled, the arc of her eyes was exactly the same as that of Ah Ling: "Just call me Aunt Yang."

Yun Jue sighed secretly that A Ling's mother was so considerate, and said, "Thank you Aunt Yang for taking her in, and Yun decided to repay her in the future."

"You child." Aunt Yang smiled, but she didn't take this sentence to heart. Saving a life was better than building a seven-level pagoda, and she didn't expect anything in return. Besides, A Ling brought him back.Yang Wan touched Ah Ling's head and said, "Go out to eat with A Niang."

"Okay." Ah Ling nodded, looked at Yun Jue, and said, "Brother beauty, you eat first, and I'll come to you later."

The title "Beauty Brother" still made Yun Jue a little dumbfounded, so he washed away the trace of loneliness in his eyes, and nodded to Ah Ling: "Okay."

When he was the only one left in the room, Yun Jue sighed softly, and just picked up the chopsticks when he heard Ah Ling's voice, and was a little surprised to find that he was lifting the curtain to reveal his head: "That...Brother beauty, I May I have dinner with you?"

At that time, Yun Jue did not expect that the loneliness in his eyes would be captured by this 11-year-old child, he just felt very happy from the bottom of his heart, the corners of his eyes and brows softened, and his voice was full of smiles: "Okay. "

Ah Ling walked in with a bowl of rice smiling, took off her shoes, and sat cross-legged opposite Yun Jue.

"So your name is Yun Jue."

"Well, return to Hai Yunjue." Yunjue picked up a chopsticks of food for A Ling, and looked at the smiling eyes of the other party, and he was in a good mood: "So, don't call me brother beauty."

"Well...but you are good-looking. I have never seen someone so good-looking like you." A-Ling was a little distressed, but thought that maybe Yun Jue didn't like this name, so she said, "Then I will call you Brother Yun Jue from now on." , or just call me brother."

"Okay." Yun Jue smiled, watched the child pick up the food, and asked, "Are you left-handed?"

"It's just that you use your left hand when you eat. In fact, you can also use your right hand," Ah Ling said, switching chopsticks to your right hand, which is as flexible as your left hand. "It's just that A Niang and grandma are left-handed. would bump into each other, so I also eat with my left hand."

"I see." Yun Jue nodded, no wonder just now he saw that Aunt Yang was helping him with the vegetables with her left hand.

The dishes are light but delicious, this should be the most reassuring meal that Yun Jue has eaten in half a month.

Half a month ago, the person he had called his uncle for 16 years suddenly launched a rebellion in the church.This person and his father were good friends, and they also sat in the position of one of the four elders in the church, second only to the leader, but no one thought that the person who appeared to be courteous and courteous had long coveted the position of the leader.This person had been secretly buying power for many years, and finally designed to make his father go mad and seriously injured when his father was practicing in closed doors.At that time Yun Jue didn't know anything, he only saw his father stumbling into his room covered in blood, telling him to leave quickly.These things were told to him by his father's hidden guard later on the road, but before they got out of Mingyin Mountain, the dark guard's uncle died because of protecting him.

He managed to escape, wandering for half a month, eating and sleeping in the open, even with wounds on his body, he did not dare to seek medical treatment.At last he came to a forest and exhausted all his strength.

The sky was full of stars outside the window, Yun Jue looked away and turned to the child who was practicing calligraphy under the oil lamp not far away.Every stroke is very serious, but Ah Ling's expression is full of bitterness and hatred.

The warm light reflected in Yunjue's eyes, making him appear softer.Many days ago, he thought that his life was about to end like this, but he met this child and pulled him out of the mud when he was most helpless and desperate.

As if feeling his gaze, Ah Ling raised her eyes and looked over, and sighed with her mouth parted: "I don't like practicing calligraphy the most, but Auntie insists on me practicing, and I must practice three chapters every night before going to bed. Brother, you If you're sleepy, go to bed first, I'll sleep outside and won't disturb you."

The outside refers to the outside of the bed.It was also only when Yunjue found out that he had been sleeping in Ah Ling's room for the past few days, and Ah Ling was worried that he hadn't woken up yet and his body was seriously injured, so he slept with A Niang and grandma in another room at night. in a room.Now that he is awake, Ah Ling naturally wants to move back to her own room, but she is afraid that he is not used to sleeping with others, so she tilts her head and asks his opinion first.

Yun Jue smiled: "It's okay, I'm not sleepy now."

Ah Ling nodded, and continued to brush with a sour face.

Yun Jue also withdrew his gaze, crossed his knees and closed his eyes, silently exercising his energy and adjusting his breath.

Hearing the sound of puffing up the brush next to him, Yun Jue opened his eyes, looked at the child standing up and stretching, and said to him: "Brother, do you still use the lamp? If you don't, I'll just turn it off."

Yun Jue shook his head.Ah Ling blew out the oil lamp in one breath, took off his clothes and shoes by the starlight outside the window, and got into the thin quilt next to him with only a thin jacket.

Yun Jue thought the child was going to sleep, but he turned over after he also lay down and chatted with him.Chatting from the blue sky and white clouds to the birth date.Because A Ling has always lived in this village and never left, he especially liked the scenery and stories Yunjue told him about the scenery he had seen and heard.

It was also the first time for Yunjue to speak so many words to the same person, and the first time to lull people to sleep with stories.

Hearing the long and steady breathing of the child beside him, Yun Jue turned his head and could clearly see the peaceful sleeping face of the child through the starlight.He smiled, his eyes filled with warmth.

When Yunjue's injury gradually recovered and he could move freely, he was already very familiar with A Ling's family, and also had some understanding of A Ling's family.A-Ling's father passed away early, so Aunt Yang raised A-Ling by herself, and treated her mother-in-law as filially as her own daughter.Aunt Yang was born with a pair of dexterous hands, and she was able to live a good life for the three of them by relying on needlework. Although she was not very rich, she did not have to worry about food and clothing.

Ah Ling's grandma is a kind and kind old man with a hale and hearty spirit. She often persuades Yun Jue to eat more at the dinner table and not to be polite to them. Her favorite thing is to sit in a rocking chair next to her and watch the sunset in the yard.Occasionally, Yunjue would imitate grandma, sitting by the side, watching the sunset gradually disappearing over the mountain, feeling extremely peaceful and comfortable in his heart.

As for Ah Ling, the child whose eyes complete the shape of a crescent moon when he smiles, Yunjue is willing to get close to him for no reason, and feels at ease when he sees this child within sight.Sometimes Yunjue would also feel that he was very strange, obviously his temper was cold, but in front of this child, the frost faded and he became more eager.

He didn't understand the reason for this until later.Some people, just one glance, decide their whole life.

At that time, Yunjue only knew that he must repay the favor he received from them, so on the day when he recovered from his injury, he carefully asked Ah Ling if he would like to go to his house when he settled the family affairs. Home to see.

Because they didn't know Jianghu well, Yunjue never talked about the family situation in detail, only said that something happened in his family and he was chased and killed by his enemies.

And Ah Ling's depressed mood because he was going to leave seemed to become clear again because of this sentence.In the forest where they first met, the two teenagers made a promise to meet again in three months.

After that person seized the position of leader, his foundation was not stable. Those who are in high positions in the religion and have good friends with Yun Jue's father know how he got this position, but now the cusp has to surrender, and they are all waiting for someone opportunity.

Yun Jue is this opportunity.

Although he had the help of a master, it took him nearly two months to get rid of this person. In this battle, he suffered a lot of internal injuries, and because he was in a hurry to recover, he became obsessed. After taking the position of leader, he secretly ran out of Mingyin Mountain.

At that time, even though his face was pale when he was galloping, his eyes were full of light.

Until he saw the scorched earth and the three tombstones.

That's all there is to it.

Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth uncontrollably, staining the ground where he was kneeling red.

It was the people in the teaching who followed what he wrote in the book and found it, and brought the person who had knelt for five days back to the teaching.The elders took a lot of effort to pull him back from the gate of hell.

After recovering from that illness, Yun Jue's temperament became more and more cold, and he never met anyone who could turn the frost in his eyes.Even after Jinghong and Chimu were around, when I was alone, my heart still felt so lonely.

He thought that his whole life was just like this, life was fresh but cold.

Until that day, he was injured due to his sluggishness against Patriarch Nangong, and fell asleep on a tree. When he woke up, he found himself in an inn. It has a beautiful crescent shape, and the sound is as pleasant as a clear spring.A familiar feeling swept over his heart in an instant, and the long-lost warm current slowly flowed into his limbs.At that time, the spring day was just right, Yun Jue raised his eyes and looked out the window, the frost in his eyes showed signs of cracking for the first time.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the nights on the mountain are always colder.Nian Ming was roasting his hands beside the charcoal fire, but when he raised his eyes, he found Yun Jue sitting at the table in a daze, his eyes reflected the dancing flames, flickering and extinguishing.

He walked over, held Yun Jue's somewhat cold hand, saw Yun Jue looking back at him, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Brother, what are you thinking?"

Yun Jue held his hand instead, and said with a smile: "I remembered the time when you picked me up and brought me home. For some reason, I still remember the day when I just woke up."

Nian Ming smiled, winked, and said, "That was the first time you saw me, brother, maybe you fell in love with me at first sight?"

Yun Jue was thoughtful, and felt that what Nian Ming said was very reasonable.

Nian Ming continued: "But the first time I saw you was in the woods. You were covered in blood, which was scary. I didn't know martial arts at that time, so it took a lot of effort to bring you home."

Yun Jue said: "I never knew how you brought me home. At that time, you were only as tall as my shoulders. Could it be that you also carried me back?"

"I really tried to carry you on my back, but I couldn't carry you." Nian Ming touched his nose, pulled Yun Jue up, put one arm on his shoulder with one hand, and supported him with the other. Putting his hand on Yun Jue's waist, "That's it. At that time, you could barely walk, but the weight of your whole body was on me, and I took you back step by step. Oh, my waist—— "When Nian Ming recalled that time, he still felt a backache.

Yun Jue smiled but said nothing, followed his posture and walked back to the bed step by step, watched him lay himself down on the bed, wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and said, "That's it gone."

"Well, considering that the woods are not close to your home, Mr. Situ is really troubled." Yun Jue lay on the bed, holding Nian Ming's hand, rubbing the back of Nian Ming's hand with his thumb, and said with a smile: "After all, you I've been saved twice."

"Isn't it?" Nian Ming looked suddenly enlightened, then raised his eyebrows, "Brother, how do you plan to repay me?"

Yun Jue smiled, and when he exerted force on his hand, Nian Ming lost his balance and fell on Yun Jue.

"How can I repay the grace of saving my life? Naturally, I will promise it with my body."
