Zhuoying

Three days later, Changhe Town.

The broken snow was shaking, and the distant visitor who came on foot unloaded the burden on his shoulders and sat down at the table.

"A bowl of noodles, a plate of meat, and a jar of wine."

Shaozhen raised his head, sizing up the distant guest without showing any signs of sight, and quickly responded, turning around and going to the back hall to give instructions.When he returned to the cabinet, he didn't move the half-written words.

The distant visitor lowered his bamboo hat and didn't take it, just sat there as if in a trance.At the moment, there are many people in the store, and there is a lot of noise coming and going, Shaozhen waiter is cleaning up the table and chairs, but Yu Guang never left this distant guest.

He smelled the blood on this man.

That kind of engraved bones reveals an invisible brutal pressure.

Yuan Ke suddenly raised his head, revealing his dull eyes, staring at Shaozhen.Shaozhen shook his finger holding the bowl. Fortunately, he often hangs around in the world, so he managed to stabilize his expression, and turned around as if inadvertently.

But the gaze nailed to his back was like a leopard beast, and Shaozhen almost thought that his back would be torn apart by this gaze.He quickly dodged to the back hall and leaned against the wall to calm himself down.

Rong Yang was helping in the back hall, heard him coming in, but no one came over, so he said: "Shaozhen?"

Shaozhen walked over quickly, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid the person sitting in the hall—"

"A bowl of noodles."

Someone stood abruptly at the door of the back hall, through the curtain, as if holding his voice, he said in a heavy and slow voice: "I want a bowl of noodles, when will I serve it?"

It was the guest from afar.

Shaozhen held Rong Yang down, walked a few steps to the door, lifted the curtain quickly, showed a very bright smile, and said quickly: "Master, wait a moment, our noodle soup is very good, and it will be indispensable for a moment. You sit in the hall, I will serve you a plate of fragrant beans."

Yuan Ke and Shao Zhen took a few steps away, and they both saw each other clearly.Under the bamboo hat was an ordinary face, expressionless. While staring at Shaozhen, he raised his hand and slowly pressed down the bamboo hat.He said, "Hurry up, kid."

Shaozhen saw that he was wearing a hard wrench finger made of iron on his raised hand, and there was a split scar on the tiger's mouth, so he raised his hand and asked, "Hey, I'll do it for you."

This bowl of noodles was eaten very quickly, and the distant guest seemed to be still on his way.He carried the burden again, and Shaozhen realized that there was absolutely no clothes in the burden.When Yuan Ke carried it on his shoulders, not only did it show its weight because the sleeves were wrinkled, but also because the bag was extremely long, so it must have contained some kind of long object.

Yuan Ke came over to crush the broken silver, and when Shaozhen received the silver, he suddenly asked, "How far is this place from Lianti Village?"

"Horse racing for an hour and a half."

"One and a half hours." Yuan Ke repeated in a deep voice, slowly let go of the money, and left the noodle shop without saying a word.

Shaozhen didn't move, and waited until the distant guest disappeared on the street, then he picked up the silver piece and sniffed it under his nose.

A faint smell of blood.

In the fenced yard.

Shi Yu bit his pen and propped himself up on the bed.Right now, she was wearing a loose underwear, and the firmness of the shoulder and arm muscles could be clearly seen in the ups and downs.Zhong You was sitting on the back waist, Mr. was holding the book, but his eyes fell on Shi Yu's back and waist.Especially the suddenly narrowed line of the lower back, which kept moving where he could feel it.

Masculinity.

Zhong You read a few times silently, but did not look away for a long time.

Shi Yu's temples were sweating, but he didn't stop.The teeth holding the pen in his mouth also used some strength, listening to Zhong You's report.Not long after, he suddenly let go of the pen, turned to look at Zhong You, and said, "Why are the numbers getting less and less?"

Zhong You froze, his eyes silently slid around his waist, and said: "... If you count too much, you will lose your count." As he spoke, he got up, lay down on Shi Yu's side, and flipped through the pages of the book that had not been moved until now. Said: "It's almost counting, it's time to take a bath."

Shi Yu rubbed his head over, breathed next to his ear and said, "Just look?"

Zhong You read the book seriously, "It's not too late yet."

Shi Yu glanced at the window and said, "It's dark." He got up, stood by the screen and said to Zhong You, "Sir."

Zhong You looked over.

Shi Yu smiled, "Don't peep."

The pages of Zhong You's book rattled, the corners of his eyes twitched, and the profile of his face was stained with an indescribable charm, needless to say, Shi Yu's throat rolled when he called first, and he dodged behind the screen to take a cool bath.

Shi Yu's hair was still wet when he came out, he leaned over to support Zhong You, and lowered his head to beg.After all, Zhong You's book couldn't be read anymore, and he turned his head to respond to Shi Yu.Shi Yu leaned over his body, pulled the book away, and threw it firmly on the bedside table.

The candle light exploded, and the atmosphere became hotter.

"The bucket hasn't been cleared yet." Zhong You was so hot from his kiss.

Shi Yu responded, got up and poured the water.It was dark now, and the wind was blowing cold outside.Shi Yu pressed the door of the main house tightly, looked at the charcoal fire in the flue, and went back to the kitchen to boil some hot water.

When he was standing in the kitchen, he heard the wind blowing in the courtyard, shaking the branches and even breaking a few.He cleaned the courtyard during the day, and he could hear the sound of the branches scraping the ground and hitting the pillars.

The water gradually started to roll.

The sound of water, wind, and scraping was mixed, Shi Yu listened, but frowned.

He also heard other sounds, not the wind, but the soles of his feet on the snow.It only rang for a moment, stepped on the edge of the fence, sank steadily, and quickly retracted.

Who's coming to visit now?

Shi Yu remained calm, stepped to the door, and saw it through the crack of the door.

There was no one at the fence.

Shi Yu is not in a hurry, he is usually very patient at such times.He moved his feet, and his eyes slowly slid from one end to the other.The fence in the yard is low, and the peach trees branch out, and a piece of darkness is covered by the low fall.

The wind and snow also played a role, making it hard for Shi Yu to see clearly.

But he was sure there was someone standing there.

The water in the pot boiled loudly, but Shi Yu didn't move.The other party didn't know if he noticed something, he saw the corner of the robe flashing past in the darkness.

Zhong You sneezed suddenly, and when he blocked the tip of his nose and almost sneezed again, Shi Yu came back.Sitting on the bed, he turned around and said, "Why did you stay for so long?"

Shi Yu smiled and said, "The water boils for a long time."

Come here and blow out the candles, and go to bed.The two talked for a while, Zhong You gradually lost consciousness and fell asleep.Shi Yu shook his hand without closing his eyes.

The brown robe corners that flashed past were repeated in his mind, and he had a keen intuition to detect that the person was not good.

He was rubbing the back of Zhong You's hand, and his body lying on his side blocked Zhong You from his shadow, like a creeping beast guarding in the dark.

The next day, Shi Yu told Zhong You and went out.However, he didn't go directly to the Stone Wall Courtyard, but turned around and walked on the road to Dongshan.

It's still early.

Shi Yu walked slowly, as if he was looking for something carefully.Following the field, it didn't take long to see footprints.But it is very mixed, both livestock and villagers.

Shi Yu squatted down, scraped the fine velvet snow with his fingertips, and circled the edge of the footprints with his fingertips.

Anyone who is deeper than their knuckles is either a livestock or a villager.Because there is only one kind of people who still go to Dongshan at this moment, and they are people who go up the mountain to collect firewood in winter.Most of the livestock are cows or mules, and the villagers have heavy feet because they will sink deeply because they carry firewood.

But if only a thin layer has been stepped on loosely, then the cause is not small.

Meng Chen led Shi Yu for seven years, and besides his skills, he also taught him everything he had been in the Beiyang Army.They are blind to accept all business, maybe they will encounter desperadoes who rob.It is impossible to say that I have never lost goods in the aisle, but I can recover them every time.Shi Yu is most familiar with this method of frontier scouts.

The fine snow is not solid, and ordinary people will definitely trap if they step on it.Only those with great skill can be called "Treading Xue Wuhen".Because speeding up is often the best choice for extremely fast evacuation, but this situation is not accessible to everyone, so there is often only a thin layer left, which can be covered and disappeared in a moment when there is heavy snow.

Shi Yu followed the footprints, but circled around.He knew that this was because the other party also noticed him last night, but when it comes to tracking down in the snow, who in the world can compare with the Beiyang Army who has been rolling with Dayuan all year round in snow?

Shi Yu found Xuewo, stuck in the field tunnel.He jumped down, opened the bottom, and took out the half-burned torch.The other party has long disappeared, which shows that he is a veteran, who knows how to keep an eye on the spot and is very cautious.

Shi Yu crouched down, paying more attention.He saw a trace of pressure and slip, which should have been lying down for a long time.Shi Yu leaned over, followed the seal, and lay down on it.

This lying down, the eyes can go straight through the fields, ravines and trees, and fall on the fenced yard.Not too far, you can clearly see the inside of the fenced yard.

The other party retreated here last night, lying down and staring at him all night.

Not only that, Shi Yu found that his arm could be stretched out a little, leaving a narrow opening in the lying mark.

Such a narrow opening could not be a knife edge, but could only be a bow or crossbow. The weight fell on this point, leaving the opening.

Watching, spying, crossbows, fence yards.

Shi Yucheng jumped up, he swung around and scanned around, he was already sure that someone was following Zhong You.

Yes, people, stare, go up, clock, you, gone.

With this thought in his mind, Shi Yu's toes crushed the hole, and he licked his lower lip, like a ferocious beast showing its fangs, with a dark and cruel look in his eyes.

Zhong Youzhong wondered when he would come back, so he saw Shi Yu holding a box and entering the kitchen, heading for the kitchen.

"Clean your hands and eat." Zhong You opened the door for him and said, "Go back to the courtyard?"

"I took something." Shi Yu shook the box, and when he passed by Zhong You, he tilted his head and kissed him on the side of the temple, went over and put the box on the top of the cabinet, and pushed it in.

Zhong You regarded it as a miscellaneous thing to be used, and said: "Don't mess it up, you should forget where to put it later."

Shi Yu responded, cleaned his hands, took the food, put his chest on the man and went to the main house, saying: "All listen to the master."

Before the meal was finished, Zhong You forgot about it, Shi Yu closed the door after washing the dishes in the kitchen, carried the box down, and squatted down to open it.

There are many scattered things in this box, all of which are all bladed.Shi Yu turned to the bottom and pulled out a long and thin thorn.However, the forearm is long and short, and there are thin and dense thorns protruding from the tip, but when he retracts his fingers, only the thorns remain.

This thing is expensive to forge, and the imperial court is now strictly controlling the entry and exit of knives and weapons, so it shouldn't be Shi Yu who can get it, and it is indeed not his own, but Meng Chen bought it.

He would always carry it with him when he ran out of goods. During this time, he was by Zhong You's side for a long time, and he hadn't touched him for a long time.

Shi Yu closed the box and put it back in the same way.He put the thorns along the inner sleeve, and if there is any difference, he can immediately start.

His eyes under the broken hair were very quiet, he pushed open the door, and Zhong You was writing a book.Shi Yu closed the door, went to the window, picked out a book, and read it casually.

After a while, he suddenly said to Zhong You: "Sir." Zhong You raised his head, and saw him covering half of his face with a book, looking at himself, and said, "Is it possible to move the table to the side of the bed? It's cold by the window."

Before Zhong You could speak, he leaned over and looked at the person with his dark eyes.Zhong You paused and couldn't help but agree.
