[Iron hand chases life without error] Loss is not to blame

The world does not rely on one piece of land and one bay of water, and it will take tens of millions of years to come from the ups and downs.

"Second brother, that's great!"

With internal strength reaching the level of Iron Hands, there are many difficulties in trying to improve. Maybe he has stagnated for the rest of his life. Now that he can make such progress, he is so happy to chase his life. He can't find anything other than repeatedly muttering "too good". rhetoric.

Iron Hand wasn't particularly excited, but looked at his hands in confusion.

"You Xia?"

The hoarse voice softened, and with doubts, Zhuiming turned his head to look at him.

He raised his head to look at Zhui Ming, only glanced lightly, then lowered his head suddenly, still staring at the two arms, his face covered in the shadow gradually became hot.

Behind the ears, on the base of the neck, and under the eyes, three forces attacked, causing Tie Shou to blush.

Zhui Ming was dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on, so he hesitated and called Tieshou again, with a worried tone.

"You Xia, what's wrong?"

——Don't worry if your internal breath is unstable, what should you do if you go crazy.

Unexpectedly, the iron hand came to cover his mouth in a panic, and there was still a thin layer of sweat on the warm palm.

Zhui Ming couldn't speak, and kept asking with his eyes.

"It doesn't matter," Tie Shou shook his head, and explained with a slight frown between his brows, "I just feel that your breath is...in me..."

He realized the mentality of chasing life, and with the help of that person, he broke through the checkpoint. For a while, the internal force of chasing life inevitably remained in the iron hand's limbs and bones.

Tuning the wind and swirling water is generally flowing and clear, but the strength is contained.

It is entangled and fused with one's own qi, one's own blood, one's own meridians, one's own tendons, bones, skin, flesh, breathing and breathing adjustment.

It was as if Zhui Ming was kneaded together with him, how could Tie Shou calm down.

But the more irritable he is, the more violent his internal energy is, and the stronger his feelings will be.

What should I do if I go crazy?

The iron hand suddenly fell to the ground, as if he was insane, he pulled Zhui Ming and hugged him tightly.

Chasing life was a shock.

This is in the mansion!

Just in case someone... just in case someone doesn't make a big fuss?

Let the senior brother know that the next six months will become a joke.

But he didn't push away the iron hand after all.

Just because that person's voice was too emotional.

"I am inseparable from you."

——From then on, I carried a part of him with my breath, and it was impossible to separate.

"I know, I know, I promised you that I would not break up."

Zhui Ming had no idea of ​​Tie Shou's thoughts at all, but the man who hugged him so firmly was probably because he was afraid to say something, and it was always the most appropriate to follow him to comfort him.

It wasn't until one time when he had to fight for his life against an enemy that he suddenly realized that the sea of ​​energy was full and warm, and he felt that his internal energy was inexhaustible. But it's another story.

The iron hand hugged for two moments before letting go of Zhui Ming.

His face has also returned to normal.

Tie Shou fixedly looked at Zhui Ming and said, "Let's go find Senior Brother."

Zhui Ming was startled: "What?"

——Are you going to throw yourself into the net?

Tie Shou happily said: "This time the state is created out of nothing, controlled by spirit, thousands of changes but in my heart, I am thinking..."

Zhui Ming also excitedly continued: "Brother, maybe you can use it to supplement Qi Breaking Divine Art, and practice the technique of inner energy circulation and breath adjustment?"

"Exactly."

"Then hurry up!"

TBC.

☆、Chapter 28 (End)

[28]

The beginning of spring just passed two days ago.

Ji Tanggu is about to give birth.

Because it was a festive season, Zhui Ming thought that the doll could be called Chun Sheng. Of course Wu Miao strongly opposed it, and finally fell to the point of begging Tie Shou to give him a name.

Although the iron hand responded, he didn't have much thought for a while.

It was Wu Miao's fault that he ran around in front of him and Zhui Ming all day long, making no one quiet, and he was not in the mood to think about a name.

In addition, Iron Hand was also in a trance.

—He is about to have a grandson.

This is really, I dare not even think about it.

The naming was delayed again and again, and finally it was dragged to the day of Ji Tanggu's delivery.

Tie Shou still had no clue, but Wu Miao stopped asking him, and just sat outside the house trembling.

Since the beginning of winter, Cui Miaohua took Ji Tanggu home, and took care of her all day long to keep the girl healthy and healthy. In addition, she, Ainur and Jiang Lingxiao were also given to Ji Tanggu. Talk about having a baby.

That's why although Ji Tanggu was uneasy, he still had some sense in his heart.

Wu Miaocai was really useless to say anything, since the moment he was kicked out of the house, his eyes were red with anxiety.

Especially when Ji Tanggu howled in the room, he wanted to cry.

Zhui Ming and Tieshou who accompanied him couldn't help persuading him to go in and have a look.

Wu Miao spoke while sniffling.

"No, it's unlucky...Second Master, what's your name?"

Tieshou stopped trying to persuade him, and sat beside Wu Miao in a daze.

Zhuiming took a sip of wine, looked at the two of them, took another sip, and sat next to Wu Miao.

Wu Miao turned her head left and right, and for some reason she really started to cry with her nose dripping.

The speechless situation of the three was interrupted by an unexpected guest.

Although Iron Hand and Zhui Ming had been waiting for him.

Wu Miao suddenly saw a person flying down in front of her.

It looked like a person, but it gave him the feeling of a bug.

Like a giant centipede.

Maybe it's because the man's cloak is too long.

Wu Miao was thinking about it, when the man suddenly hugged Zhui Ming and laughed.

He went to see the Iron Hand right away.

——I didn't expect the second master to go crazy too!

Tie Shou knew that Zhui Ming and He Pao Dan hadn't seen each other for several years, and now that the old friends reunited, they were naturally very happy for them.

He laughed too.

Wu Miao was getting more and more surprised when a burst of crying came from inside the room.

Guanshi Wu, who turned into a father in an instant, rushed into the house immediately, not caring who his master was hugging with.

The baby's crying reminded He Paodan of the purpose of his visit.

He let go of Chasing Life, pointed to the room with a puzzled face, and then complained: "I went to Shenhou Mansion to find someone, but it turned out that you went home and asked me to come this way. I didn't expect it. The sister and brother-in-law you let go, have you found them again?"

Zhuiming nodded and smiled, and explained: "The two children just became parents, and it was not very good when you came, otherwise I will let you meet them."

"I'm here to do business."

He Paodan was talking about something serious, but he turned to Tie Shou, clasped his fists in salute, and said, "Tie Shou Tie Erye, I have been admiring him for a long time."

Tie Shou returned the salute with a smile, and said in a deep and gentle voice, "Brother He is here for the children?"

He Paodan sighed and nodded.

It turned out that the girl rescued from Qingyang Valley that day was finally sent to the He family.

He Paodan had faded out of the rivers and lakes in the early years, and became a small landlord with some land. His son was working as a policeman elsewhere, and his family had a big place. With so many children at first, he could barely support it.

In order for him to take good care of the children, Tie Shou and Zhui Ming also asked Mao Hongping to tell the whole story of the case, and told He Paodan to try his best to pull the children out of the illusion.

He Paodan said with a sad face: "I have exhausted my words and finally let those girls understand the truth. Unfortunately, there are still some problems, and I have to let you know."

He took out a piece of paper, opened it layer by layer, looked at it for a while, and suddenly realized: "Oh, I said the name, can you still match the master?"

Tie Shou lightly smiled and replied: "Yes, brother He can tell."

He Paodan started talking to the records on the paper one by one.

"Last month, Jiang Ying, Bai Yunsi, and Tu Sang all gave birth to their babies, but when Bai girl saw the live dolls and didn't wait for her master, she was so frightened that she went crazy. I asked someone to come to the doctor , the effect is not great. Miss Tu Sangna, she doesn't want a child herself, and she leaves it to Shen Wan. If she insists on leaving my house, I really can't stop her. I'm sorry for you. Jiang Ying gave birth to twins, but she did it quietly. Get up, mother."

He looked up at the death-chasing iron hand and frowned.

"However, when it comes to that girl Shen Wan, although she is sensible, she seems to know everything. It's also scary. I'm always afraid that she will secretly kill the child."

Zhui Ming suddenly thought of the girl who went back and forth in the Qingyang Valley stone chamber.

She was sober then, is she still sober now?

Zhui Ming sighed, and pondered: "Probably not, but you still kept an eye on her."

He Paodan sighed and shook his head.

"I understand, the people you are investigating this time are really guilty."

He sighed again and again.

Tie Shou answered and asked, "What about the others? How is Qi Nanshan?"

He Paodan was stunned for a moment, licked his lips, and continued: "Oh, at the end of September, there were two other girls, Yu Shunying and Zheng Lier, who were also pregnant. The other babies were fine for the time being. If you don’t have children, you’re gone, so let’s live with me first.”

He licked his lips several times before he had to look at the iron hand and continue.

"Before I came, Qi Nanshan had a difficult delivery, and the mother and son went together."

He really didn't want to talk about it.

Especially in today's situation.

Tieshou suddenly covered his mouth, so as not to frighten people with the sound of gritting his teeth too loudly.

He thought he could save them.

But he was still late.

Too late.

He Paodan also remained silent for a while, but couldn't bear the silence any longer.

He put on an exaggerated smile.

"However, I have another happy event to talk about today. How can anyone fall in love with that girl named Cao Yu? My mother and I also think the girl is pretty good. If the weather gets warmer, we will let them get married."

The iron hand still covered his mouth, but his eyes were wide open.

The pursuit of life is also a great surprise.

There are mixed feelings in my heart.

"If there is no case, we will definitely go there."

He Paodan slapped his hands in the air, and scolded with a smile: "Hey! I know you are busy, so why would you be a small captor, and you don't think that the four famous captors will be able to go, but there are so many people in Shenhou Mansion, and your family? Brother, sister, and little baby, no matter what, there must be someone to share the wedding wine."

As he spoke, he folded the paper again and wanted to put it back in his arms.

The iron hand suddenly reached out.

"Brother He, can you give this to me?"

He Paodan froze for a moment, and hurriedly handed the paper to Tie Shou.

"You take it. Since you are busy, I'll go first. Xu Ren has to come when he gets married."

He Paodan wanted to leave in a hurry.

There seemed to be some light in the corner of his eyes.

Zhui Ming stopped him suddenly.

"Wait!"

He Paodan stopped, staring at Zhui Ming with his neck stuck.

"What's the matter?"

"The wedding at your house is important. If we don't drink a cup of this wedding, you want to leave too?"

What Zhuiming handed over was his own wine gourd.

He Paodan slapped his forehead.

"By the way, that little brother has just been born, so I should congratulate him!"

He unplugged the plug and took a few gulps before exhaling comfortably.

"Good wine, can you bring me a few jars?"

He Paodan shook the gourd in pursuit of his life, who knew that the man spread his hands and turned his mouth to Tie Shou.

"Don't look at me, brother is here, I'm useless to talk."

Tie Shou also shook his head and laughed, "Brother He, at home here, no one listens to me."

He Paodan flicked the gourd angrily, just in time to throw it back to Zhui Ming.

"Hey, you two, look down on me common people! Don't give it up, old brother, I'm leaving!"

"Hey, wait."

"Why are you calling me again?"

He Paodan said angrily, but when he turned around, he found that Zhui Ming was no longer there. He blinked a few times, and when he looked again, Zhui Ming was there again.

He couldn't help giving a thumbs up.

"I know you still have a conscience."

After finishing speaking, he snatched the three gourds that Zhui Ming had just brought, and walked away in a smart way.

"I don't think anyone likes to drink. This is enough for you to drink on the road. Don't be too drunk to go home."

"It's long-winded, when he got married, he promised to come."

He Paodan shook the gourd and waved his left hand.

"People can't come, but wine is fine!"

He quickly walked away, and the figure disappeared completely.

Holding the piece of paper with his iron hand, he said softly: "I've always heard you say He Daxia, this is the first time I've seen him, he really is a hero."

Smile.

"He's even a good friend."

Later that day, the commotion brought about by Ji Tanggu gradually subsided.

Everyone is very happy.

Many children who live in this house seem to have a premonition that there will be new partners in the future, and this night is particularly noisy.

After the trouble, Cui Bing, as a serious patriarch, had to take care of it.

"Ning Zhi Mu Na Shan Yan, take off the dirty clothes, go find your mother to change into clean clothes, Bu Nu and A Feng, don't play so close to the pond, be careful of falling, and Jing'er Xiao Jing, tomorrow I have to talk to Mr. Studying, have you reviewed it?"

Tieshou Zhuiming was originally watching Cui Bing give orders to a group of dolls with great interest, but suddenly the man turned around and said darkly to the two of them, "You two, come with me."

They thought they had made a mistake at first, but when they entered the room and saw Cui Liang and Wen Liangyu, they realized what was going on.

Tie Shou had discussed with Zhui Ming a long time ago, and asked Cui Liang to find a way to remove the words branded on his back, and he had already asked, but he didn't expect to hit it today.

Cui Liang's hands often do delicate work, and recently he has specially trained for this matter, and Wen Liangyu also specially prepared some new medicine for Zhuiming.

They were all afraid that one accidentally hurt Zhui Ming's muscles and bones, which would affect his kung fu.

As a result, when Zhui Ming exposed the branded place and waited for Cui Liang to cut the knife, his brother suddenly pulled the iron hand to the next room for questioning with a cold face.

Wen Liangyu had no choice but to persuade the slightly worried Zhui Ming not to worry.

"The sixth child will not embarrass the second master, but who caused your injury?"

Wen Liangyu's sickly eyes were full of danger.

Zhui Ming waved his hands and smiled, "Brother-in-law, don't ask, I won't tell."

In the next room, Cui Liang was also questioning Tie Shou.

"I have a puzzle. When it comes to fingertip skills, even if you don't want to do it yourself, Master Wuqing is definitely better than me. Why don't you ask him for help?"

Tie Shou thought for a while, then said seriously: "Sixth brother, do you feel uncomfortable seeing him hurt like this?"

Cui Liang frowned sharply.

"You know how I feel, but you let me move this hand?"

Tie Shou shook his head calmly, and said, "If I tell you that the man who hurt him is a ruthless murderer who has harmed countless people, but he is pulling the position of the whole body, what do you think?"

Cui Liang rolled his eyes.

"Your senior brother can't kill this person?"

The iron hand didn't blink an eye.

"No problem."

"Then why don't you get rid of evil and take revenge?"

"There is still a big force behind this person, once the war starts, it must be wiped out, otherwise—"

Cui Liang suddenly stretched out his hand to shield Tie Shou's face.

"Stop it, you have to support these things, I just want to live in peace."

He straightened his clothes, stretched his fingers, and returned to the previous room with iron hands.

During the less than half an hour when the piece of skin was peeled off, Zhui Ming never groaned.

Cui Liang didn't ask Zhui Ming seriously until he stopped and took three consecutive breaths.

"Do you really want to keep his name? I can goug out one more time now, and my hands will shake later."

Zhui Ming looked at Tie Shou, turned his head and nodded towards Cui Liang.

Anyway, he didn't open his mouth to speak.

Seeing this, Cui Liang narrowed his eyes and shook his head, and said angrily: "I'm so shocked, go and rest first, you can help him apply the medicine."

He said this to Tie Shou.

The voice fell, and the person has simply walked out.

Tie Shou waited for the door to close, then wiped the cold sweat off Zhui Ming's neck, and said in a harmonious voice, "Get up and change your medicine."

At this moment, the person on the bed groaned a few times and sat up while exhaling.

——The pain of a little cut is much more unbearable than a sudden knife.

Since Zhui Ming didn't want to get up, Tie Shou had no choice but to bury his head in the bandage on his waist.

Zhui Ming took advantage of this moment to stare at the top of Tie Shou's head and smiled slowly.

Staring and staring, a voice floated up.

"Sneaking at me again."

"Eh?"

Zhui Ming couldn't even feel ashamed all of a sudden, and asked stupidly, "Why do you..."

Tie Shou glanced at his own name, couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help laughing.

"Not only do you know how to look at me all the time, but you also know what you think."

——God is really not thin.

To meet such a nice person.

FIN.

☆、Two stories outside the episode

【One】

Qu Yan became Qu Yan when he was seven years old.

At that time, Qu Jiaohan returned to Shandong to work as a policeman. He had just passed the age of knowing his destiny, and it happened that all he could experience in his life had passed away.

In fact, he was also waiting to die, but he didn't tell anyone.

When he saw the little Qu Yan, he recalled many past events and couldn't help but buy the child home.

Qu Jiaohan can support him and teach him martial arts, while Qu Yan can take care of the master, the best of both worlds.

They also can not be alone.

When Qu Yan was 13 years old, because of Qu Jiaohan's recommendation, he became a yamen servant in Huang County. In the same year, he officially changed his mouth in front of the memorial tablet at home and Qu Jiaohan.

This is very important. It not only means that he has "Spiritual Bone" as his father, but also means that Qu Yan has two more famous elder brothers from now on. Intentional palm "Yu Lie, even in the future when he met the second master Tie Shou and the third master Zhui Ming among the four famous arresters, it was Qu Yan who got the honor of his two elder brothers.

Although Qu Yan couldn't understand why Yu Lie always said that he was a businessman and not a quack.

This old man didn't do any business.

He went to ask Qu Jiaohan, but the old man didn't tell, he just closed his eyes and smiled.

When Qu Yan was 22 years old, Qu Jiaohan passed away on a snowy day, and he passed away peacefully.

With long-awaited pleasure.

————————————————————————

【two】

Yu Jing is not Yu Lie's biological son.

Yu Jing, like Qu Yan, is an orphan without father and mother, and the two are not quite alike, because Yu Jing sent Lianping Mountain to relatives.

The people down the mountain knew that there was a Wufeng Hall on the mountain, and there was a Taoist priest in it, so they naturally thought that they also adopted children.

Cheng Hui never refuses anyone who comes, and Yu Lie will send the child home after a few days of raising the child to be a clerk.

So the Qu family—his father, Yu Tingfang, was only one person, and the marriage was simply regarded as a marriage, but the name had not been changed—gradually became a place with many children, and then became a private school loved by the neighbors.

But Wufeng Hall is deserted all the year round, only Cheng Hui and Yu Lie are there.

They are very happy with it.

Until that year when Yu Jing, who was just able to walk, was sent up the mountain, Cheng Hui hugged him and found Yu Lie.

After three sticks of incense, Cheng Hui smiled and said in wonder, "Yu Lie, if you have a son, will it look like this?"

His speech has always been Lin Laiquan rhyme.

Yu Lie only wavered for a while, felt that something was wrong, and quickly retorted: "I can't have children, where can I get a son?"

Cheng Hui put the baby on the table, Zhi Yi looked at it again, suddenly rolled his eyes and said, "Let's raise him."

Yu Lie didn't say a word, just walked around the pine tree by the stone table a few times, and then frowned after a while and said, "I can't think of a name, you can choose it."

Cheng Hui leaned over to dip some spring water from the pool at his feet, and wrote the word "quiet" on the table.

Tranquility is righteousness for the world.

"Yu Jing, little Jing'er."

Yu Lie froze for a moment, fetched a bucket of water and went to cook the porridge.

The author has something to say:

☆, Zhang Zhi Zeng Shuxue episode

Zeng Shuxue died at the age of 40.

The moment he died, Zhang Zhi, who was far away, accidentally destroyed a painting that was about to finish.

Huge dots of ink fell between the towering peaks.

The ink smudged away, and the blood also flowed out.

The ink color is getting lighter and lighter.

The color of blood is getting closer and closer to ink.

Zeng Shuxue remembered something in a trance.

***

"Zhang Zhi?"

Zeng Shuxue leaned over the edge of the bed and looked at the little baby on the bed, then turned to look at the tall man standing behind him, and asked curiously, "Is he the one my aunt brought back?"

——At this time, he still didn't quite understand what death was. He only knew that his aunt was gone, but there was such a little thing extra.

The man nodded with a wry smile, and suddenly fell into deep loneliness.

Zeng Shuxue's uncle is Zhang Zhi's father. In the grief of losing his wife, the birth of his son could not bring him joy at all.

But Zeng Shuxue couldn't be happier.

His parents only had this one child, and there was only Zhang's family around where they lived. In the past three years, Zeng Shuxue often felt bored and lonely.

And this feeling disappeared from the first moment he saw Zhang Zhi.

Zeng Shuxue liked this soft little doll very much.

Father Zhang also loves his son, but his relationship with his deceased wife is stronger and deeper.

So when Zhang Zhi was a child, he mostly lived in Zeng Shuxue's house.

—Anyway, if he wanted to go home, he had only to go to the next door.

Of course, Zeng Shuxue's parents were also willing to take care of their nephew.

The two of them, together with the former Zhang couple, have a unique love for the ordinary and lonely life.

Zeng Shuxue has always wondered why his father goes fishing every day, his mother always draws at home, and his uncle weaves every day——he has very little impression of his aunt.

Wouldn't it be boring to repeat such boring things?

At least, he played day after day, and gradually became exhausted.

After Zhang Zhineng followed him, Zeng Shuxue often talked about wanting to see farther places. He had seen it in his mother's paintings. There are mountains and rivers in this world, and there are many beautiful scenery.

Zhang Zhi doesn't know how to speak yet, he only knows how to blink his eyes, huh huh huh.

Four or five years later, Zeng Shuxue suddenly discovered that Zhang Zhi also had a temperament that was not afraid of boredom.That guy can stay at home all day and get by just talking to grown-ups.

Among the five people, only Zeng Shuxue ran around.

He would also hang out with Zhang Zhi to watch weaving or painting when he was in high spirits.

Neither of them had ever seen Daddy Zeng fishing.

In fact, Zeng Shuxue didn't even know what time his father went out every day, but only knew that his father would always come back with two fish in the afternoon.

Finally one day, Zeng Shuxue stayed up with Zhang Zhi in the middle of the night with him, only to find that her father left with a fishing rod and basket as soon as the sun was shining.

——Speaking of which, their parents didn't even pay attention to such things as not sleeping.

Zeng Shuxue and Zhang Zhi quietly followed Father Zeng, being careful all the way, worried that they would be found out, but father Zeng walked slowly humming a song, making the two little children follow very easily.

Unexpectedly, the father of the Zeng family disappeared suddenly when he walked to a cliff-side mountain stream.

Zeng and Zhang were frightened when they suddenly felt that someone lifted their armpits, they flew up into the air, leaped a few feet away, and then fell down the cliff.

Zhang Zhi was so frightened that he was going to faint, Zeng Shuxue was also scared at first, but when he realized that the person holding him was his own father, he didn't worry any more, and suddenly felt happy again.

After the three of them landed on a boulder protruding from the cliff, Zeng Shuxue felt faintly lost.

During the day, he and Zhang Zhi had been watching Zengfu fishing.

The fishing method is very strange.

There was a fishing line tied to the fishing rod, but there was no hook on the fishing line.

Father Zeng sat there for a long time, his eyes fixed on the running water, and he didn't make any other movements. He could wait for an hour like a stone statue, and then suddenly threw the pole out.

In a total of more than five hours, he swung the pole eight times, one time he returned with an empty line, four times the fishing line hooked the fish out of the water, after the fish struggled, he let go of his hand again, and the remaining two times, the fishing line penetrated the belly of the fish , I didn't tell them to run away.

It was only then that Zeng Shuxue realized that his father's fishing was really interesting, it was extremely fun, so even though his mother was very angry after returning home, he still begged in every possible way and won the opportunity to go fishing with his father every day.

It's a pity that Zhang Zhi doesn't like this kind of thing.

When Zeng Shuxue was ten years old, he accidentally realized that he was not good-looking, because the four people he usually saw never mentioned it, and Zeng Shuxue didn't know that there are beauty and ugliness in people.

In fact, his mother and uncle were both outstanding. Although his father was not handsome, he was definitely not ugly. Zhang Zhi might have been honored by his deceased mother and was very gentle.

Zeng Shuxue is not as pleasing to the eye as his father.

When he asked his mother about this matter, the woman put down the brush, rubbed Zeng Shuxue's face with both hands, and said with a puzzled smile: "But I like your father and you very much, otherwise, go ask Xiao Zhi ?”

Then she led Zeng Shuxue to find Zhang Zhi.

After Zhang Zhi figured out the purpose of the two people's visit, for some reason, he decided to learn painting from his aunt.

It's just that Zeng Shuxue's heart knot has not been untied, he vaguely felt that although his family members didn't seem to care, his appearance was just not pleasing, unlike Zhang Zhi, he felt happy just looking at it.

Zeng Shuxue's mother began to teach him a magical skill when he continued this faint worry for two months.

When Zhang Zhi was 13 years old, one day he was waving a brush in the vegetable garden behind his home, and his eyes were suddenly covered. Only Zeng Shuxue would play with him like this. sound.

The blindfolded hand was released, and Zhang Zhi naturally turned around and spoke.

Who knows that the one in front of her is not Zeng Shuxue.

——At least not the one Zhang Zhi is familiar with.

This is a man who is handsome and close to a monster, but has a temperament like a fairy.

His figure is still Zeng Shuxue.

Zeng Shuxue was originally a little thin.

And this deserted face made him even more desolate.

Seeing Zhang Zhi's reaction, Zeng Shuxue smiled slightly.

——When that boy sees a beautiful person, his hands tremble with joy.

When Zeng Shuxue was 19 and Zhang Zhi was 16, they both became orphans.

It was like a dream, my parents were still there when I was sleeping, and when I woke up, there was only one person left in each of the two families.

Zhang Zhi found two new clothes beside his pillow, the smaller one was his own, the bigger one was for Zeng Shuxue.

He quickly took it to the next room.

So when Zeng Shuxue opened her eyes, she saw Zhang Zhi sniffling while holding his bright red clothes.

He had long begged his uncle to give him a bolt of smooth red cloth, but his uncle had never agreed. At this moment, seeing that he was very happy, he couldn't help but smile.

But Zhang Zhi only cried and said: "My father, my father, is gone."

At that moment, Zeng Shuxue really wanted to ask him if there was a baby in the house.

Of course he didn't ask, and immediately realized that his parents had also left home and disappeared.

Zeng Shuxue vaguely recalled that she had a dream in the middle of the night, dreaming that her mother was holding her face, saying sorry and crying sadly.

That may not be a dream.

After that day, Zeng Shuxue and Zhang Zhi packed up the things they could bring at home and left the place where they lived since they were young. They didn't want to find their parents, but were driven outside by some dark force.

The bigger world taught them a lot.

Zeng Shuxue knew that he had a lot of lightness kung fu and disguise skills, and Zhang Zhi suddenly understood that what his aunts, uncles, and father told him when he was a child were all his opinions on martial arts.

They therefore treasured the relics of their parents that they carried with them.

——It should be a relic, the Jianghu people who have lived in seclusion for a long time are forced to get involved in the waves again, how can they be alive?

The two traveled through mountains and rivers and arrived at the shore of Hongtai Lake, both born with the intention of staying. The place is only three-thirds like their hometown, but it gave them a strong sense of intimacy.

Zeng Shuxue grew up to be 20 years old, and because of some unexpected situations, he had to abandon the "face" he had already adapted to.

From the age of 16 to the present, he has not shown his true colors.

He lives with an appearance that makes Zhang Zhi happy.

But those easy-to-use clays have already begun to erode his unbearable face, and Zeng Shuxue never wants to make a human skin mask.

With trepidation in his heart, he asked Zhang Zhi to draw a few more paintings for him.

Zhang Zhi also started to paint happily, and asked Zeng Shuxue why he wanted to paint on his own initiative.

— that's rare, usually he's the one who's going to draw and the guy's always a little shy.

When Zeng Shuxue spoke out the reason carefully, Zhang Zhi threw away the pen and rushed to erase the disguise on Zeng Shuxue's face.

The clay powder was removed, and it was seen that the corners of Zeng Shuxue's eyes and mouth had ulcerated.

Although Zeng Shuxue didn't look good, fortunately his eyes were still big and bright. When he saw Zhang Zhi's frozen expression, his eyes dimmed.

Zhang Zhi let out a low growl, grabbed the painting on the table with his backhand and tore it to pieces, and found out the earlier painting by Zeng Shuxue, which was also burned to ashes.

Zeng Shuxue had been watching from the sidelines and did not stop her.

Zhang Zhi finished burning the painting, fetched water to wipe Zeng Shuxue's face, and complained angrily, "What are you thinking! What are you thinking!"

He knew the man's thoughts clearly, but he was even angrier.

How can I be so dull.

Zhang Zhi resolutely said, "I won't draw you anymore."

Zeng Shuxue smiled and said: "That's a pity, the pain will be severe in the future, I won't be able to tolerate it anymore, and you won't be able to paint if you want to."

"What kind of painting! I would rather have an ugly Zeng Shuxue than a friend with a bad face."

Zeng Shuxue feigned anger and said: "Zhang Zhi, it means that I am also the eldest brother who has taken care of you since childhood, how could my virtuous brother be so rude."

"spit!"

Zhang Zhi muttered again: "What are you thinking!"

This time Zeng Shuxue actually answered seriously: "I am not good-looking, I want to be a good-looking person, and you think I am ugly too."

"You are ugly, but what's wrong with being ugly!"

Zeng Shuxue frowned, smiled helplessly, and stopped talking.

Zhang Zhi waited until his anger dissipated, and suddenly clapped his hands with joy: "I was wrong, how ugly are you! Have you ever seen your lightness kung fu?"

"It doesn't."

Zhang Zhi immediately laid out the paper and began to draw, and when he was done, he showed Zeng Shuxue a show, which made Zeng Shuxue even more puzzled.

"You don't have me in this painting."

——Never mind, he really doesn't paint himself anymore.

"Hey, look at this painting, that's the feeling, your lightness skill, that's the feeling, it can't be more or less."

Because Zhang Zhi was so proud and confident, Zeng Shuxue also smiled and admitted.

Later, this painting set off waves in the rivers and lakes.

Zeng Shuxue became famous with a beautiful story.

Their friendship was cut off unexpectedly one year.

A long time before that, Zeng Shuxue encountered an incident that made him lament the impermanence of fate in the second half of his life.

Zhang Zhi knew the reason, so when Zeng Shuxue brought a boy who looked like a boy into his house at night, Zhang Zhi was not surprised.He guarded the two people's homes by the Hongtai Lake, so that Zeng Shuxue could take revenge and repay her kindness without any worries.

Zeng Shuxue led the young man and rushed into Zhang Zhi's house with a murderous aura all over his body - that naturally counted as his house.

As soon as Zhang Zhi saw it, he immediately cooperated with Zeng Shuxue to act.

But as he acted, his heart still ached more and more.

Zeng Shuxue looked at Zhang Zhi coldly with that ugly face, and said, "It's rare to have a true confidant in life. I missed it once, and I won't make it again."

As he spoke, he changed to look at Yan Yanya with an extremely warm expression.

Zhang Zhi gritted his teeth, suppressed the trembling of his arms, and threw to Zeng Shuxue the painting of the two people having fun.

"Hey, we won't see each other in the future, so that I won't be bothered seeing you."

Zeng Shuxue sneered and picked up the pen on the table.

He inscribed a poem on the painting.

After finishing writing, Zeng Shuxue accidentally cut the palm of her hand when she was putting down the pen, and a drop of blood just fell on the painting.

He didn't want to paint either, so he led Yan Yanya and left with a shake of his sleeves.

Zhang Zhi used cinnabar to paint the blood spot into a human figure, the color was just like the clothes his father made for Zeng Shuxue back then.

He has to keep the painting.

Once something happens in the future, relying on this painting, people who are destined can also know the ambition of Zeng Shuxue's experience. That young man must be the enemy Zeng Shuxue is looking for.

In previous years, when Zeng Shuxue went to play everywhere, he liked to turn good sentences into poems, and sent them to Zhang Zhi from thousands of miles away, which was also worth amused.

Zhang Zhi only became more and more worried about Zeng Shuxue, that enemy must be serious, otherwise he wouldn't have written that paragraph in code words in a hurry.

He has to find him.

Even though he doesn't know martial arts, doesn't know how to tell the direction, and is very timid, he has to find it.

Zhang Zhi failed to find Zeng Shuxue.

He lost his mother first, then his father, and now Zeng Shuxue.

Even the unique view of Han Shan that he sold was lost because of the buyer's relocation.

Later, Zhang Zhi sold his house in Hongtai Lake and built a thatched hut beside the capital. From time to time, he went to look for a figure in the densely populated city.

He didn't even know that during the first year he set out to search for Zeng Shuxue, that person had already died in an ice cave in a high mountain.Because of the severe poison, Zeng Shuxue was cut off all the bones in his body. In the end, Zeng Shuxue froze into an ice lump at the bottom of the cave.

***

Zeng Shuxue died at the age of 40.

Before the end of his life, he remembered many past events.

Father fishing on the edge of a cliff.

A mother who caresses her face and weeps.

Uncle who can weave red silk.

Zhang Zhi who paints.

——It's strange that he doesn't remember how his mother painted pictures.

This year Zhang Zhi was 37 years old.

FIN.

The author has something to say:

The two of them are the kind of love that has no desire at all. In my definition, the two are definitely not love, but they will not rise to the level of soul mates.
