I have a book to play

Sun Peng has a fever.

His physique had weakened a lot after falling into the water last time. Before he took off his cloak to wrap the child up, he forcibly carried the north wind and hid in the woods for a while, so his body was naturally a little overwhelmed.

In addition, there is a big stone in my heart.It is not an exaggeration to say that he is sick from the heart.

Xie Chen changed his clothes, and asked Chen Yi to come down the mountain to invite a doctor. After a long time of tossing, he gave Sun Peng a bowl of soup.After receiving the news, the Sun House sent Sun Peng's concubine brother Sun Ying over. He wanted to take his younger brother away, but he was lying on the bed sick, and except for Xie Chen, anyone who touched him would subconsciously wave his fist.

Sun Ying was punched several times by Sun Peng, so she had to cover her bleeding nose and find another room to stay overnight.

In the early morning of the next day, the sunlight outside the house was particularly bright. Sun Peng was woken up by a hissing cat, and raised his hand to cover his eyes sleepily. When he opened his eyes again, he saw himself lying in the familiar meditation room. .

There was also sandalwood on the pillow and bedding, which was the usual smell of that person.

Sun Peng lay on the bed for a while, and the memories before he fell asleep came to his mind one after another.

Xu's house was ransacked, he was depressed and depressed, he didn't tell anyone, he ran out of the house, and when he was out of the city, he met a servant who wanted to smuggle the Xu family's young gentleman out and leave some incense for the Xu family.

Then, he helped bring the child out of the city, but he didn't know where to hide for a while, so he had to take the child up the mountain to find Xie Chen.

Immediately afterwards, he almost bumped into Xi Hedi who was with Xie Chen outside the mountain gate, so he had to hide with the child.

In the end, Xihe Emperor went down the mountain, he was discovered by Xie Chen, he came out with the child in his arms, and then...

Then it seems to fall ill.

He remembered all these things, but as for whether he had said something he shouldn't have said, he couldn't think of it for a while.

Sun Peng frowned and got up, his legs were still a little weak when he got off the ground, he stood for a while, and finally sat down on the edge of the bed.

At this time, the door of the meditation room was pushed open from the outside.

"woke up?"

Xie Chen entered the room with a bowl of decoction.As soon as the door is opened, the wind blows in.Sun Peng subconsciously squinted his eyes, and through the crack of the soon-closed door, he clearly saw the appearance of silver clothes all over the ground outside the door.

"It's snowing?" Sun Peng was a little surprised.

"Well. It's been down all night."

Xie Chen brought the medicine in front of him, and when Sun Peng took the decoction, Xie Chen squatted straight down and held the sole of his foot that was not wearing a bag when he was stepping on the shoe.

His hands were so hot that Sun Peng was so hot that he almost fell over and smashed the bowl in his hand, and shrank his feet subconsciously: "Master."

"You drink the medicine." Xie Chen didn't move his hand holding Sun Peng's feet. He reached out and took out a pair of clean foot bags from the end of the bed. fell ill again."

"Ah... good." Sun Peng coughed twice, and finished drinking the medicine honestly.The foot bag was already worn on his feet, and it was so warm that he was reluctant to tuck it into his shoes.

The soup bowl in his hand was taken by Xie Chen, and he turned around and put it on the table in the meditation room. Sun Peng's eyes followed him involuntarily, and when he was inattentive, his eyes met Xie Chen's eyes when he turned his head.

Sun Peng subconsciously moved his eyes away, sat on the edge of the bed cautiously, with his eyelids down, as if concentrating on the stitches on the foot pocket.

"Why did you save that child?"

Sun Peng raised his eyes suddenly, and Xie Chen was standing in front of him.

There were some things he couldn't say, and Sun Peng's heart turned a lot in an instant, and finally he sighed: "The Xu family deserved what they did, but that child is innocent after all."

"That's right. The Xu family will have something to do with Master Xu, who is a guest of the crown prince, who doesn't know how to warn the crown prince. Instead, he helps the crown prince to build a temple of prostitution, kidnaps young girls, and does all kinds of absurd things in the world to please the crown prince." Xie Chen paused slightly. , continued, "That child is indeed innocent. But those who are less than 14 years old are just exiled. You saved him, you saved his life, but you can't save his future, and even the Sun House may get into trouble because of it ..."

Xie Chen's eyes were deep, looking at the pale-faced Sun Peng, he finally said the following words with all his strength: "Secretizing a criminal official is a serious crime. If someone has a heart to do it, the court can regard him as an accomplice."

"I know, but he's too young."

It is impossible for Sun Peng not to know about hiding the child. If the court finds out, not only Emperor Xihe, but also Xie Zhang may kill the child or even kill him in order to vent their anger.

However, when he saw the child in the arms of the nanny, with a calm face, neither crying nor fussing, as if he already knew his fate, Sun Peng suddenly thought of himself.

Everything that the Xu family has experienced now should have been experienced by the Sun family.The difference is that the Xu family deserved what they deserved, while the Sun family suffered innocently.

In any case, these matters have nothing to do with the child.He is too small, so small that he still has a lot of time to grow up.

"He came from Mrs. Xu's outer room and kept Madam Xu from it. No one in the house except Mr. Xu's servants knew about the existence of this little gentleman. Something happened to the Xu family, and he was the only child who was not found on the spot. When the nanny heard about the accident in the Xu family, she took him and wanted to escape. But she had to check her identity when she left the city, so the nanny couldn’t leave, so she could only find ways to help an old man with a vegetable basket on his back, trying to stuff the child in.”

Sun Peng clenched his fist and closed his eyes.

"That vegetable basket can hold a child, but it's too easy to be discovered. I know that nanny, and several young gentlemen of the Xu family were brought by her. The child is too small, I...I can't bear it, so I just"

"So, you brought the man back?"

Xie Chen let out a long sigh, his eyes darkened: "Qilang..."

He knew why Sun Peng did this.It was a similar situation when he picked up the boy in the alley that year.

Sun Peng saw the shadow of himself from the child of the Xu family.

******

Sun Peng did not leave the child in Jingming Temple.

When Sun Ying woke up and took him back to the city, Sun Peng immediately took the child with him.

The child's full name is Xu Yuxiu, and he is indeed Master Xu's concubine just as the nanny said.

Although Mrs. Sun disapproved of Sun Peng picking up a prisoner's son and returning, he felt sorry for Mr. Xu Xiaolang who suffered such a big change at a young age and left him at home to take care of him.

Last night in Jingming Temple, Sun Peng burned all night, Xie Chen didn't dare to bathe him, he simply wiped his body and put on clean clothes for him.

Back at the Sun Mansion, Sun Peng was first scolded by the old man and his father, and then took Xu Xiaolang to flirt with the old lady for a while, and then entrusted Mr. Xiaolang to Aunt Feng, and he threw himself into the house to prepare In a good tub.

As soon as he entered the bathtub, the warm water made Sun Peng breathe a long sigh of relief, and the exhaustion and chills all over his body were eliminated in this bucket of water.

"Qichiro, do you want some water?"

Lycium barbarum waited on the side, didn't hear the sound for a while, raised his head and slashed at the bathtub.

Probably because of being too relaxed, Sun Peng had already drifted off to sleep with his head resting on the edge of the bathtub.

When Sun Peng woke up by himself, the water in the tub had been refilled several times.He cheered himself up, got out of the tub, put on his clothes and his hair was still wet, and went straight to Aunt Feng's place to pick up Xiaolang from the Xu family.

The Sun Mansion has extra guest rooms, and Aunt Feng specially arranged one for them.But Sun Peng couldn't rest assured.

When he was rescued back to Jingming Temple by Xie Chen, he also couldn't sleep all night.Listen to the scriptures and meditate during the day, and stare blankly at night with the moonlight and stars.After that, it was Xie Chen who discovered his problem, and took him to the meditation room to sleep with him for a night, so that he could close his eyes and have a good sleep.

Therefore, he felt that children should be in the same state.

But the six-year-old Xiaolang of the Xu family was unexpectedly a bit veteran.Sun Peng hugged him distressedly and talked for a long time, but the child in his arms just said "um" a few times.

Having said that, both Sun Peng and the child were a little sleepy.The silver charcoal in the room was burning warmly, and the bodies clinging to each other brought warmth, and gradually made people fall into a deep sleep.

Before falling asleep, Sun Peng's last words were soft but extremely firm.

"It's not going to be easy for him, trust me."

In the middle of the night, someone gently opened the window.The black figure turned over neatly, jumped into the room from the window, and walked lightly to the bed.

Sun Peng's bed is not very wide, and his sleeping posture has been good since before. Even if there is an extra child on the bed, he still doesn't feel in the way.Instead, he just lay on his side on the bed like that, with the child curled up in his arms, holding his arm with one hand, under the moonlight shining into the room, the obvious tear stains on the child's face could be clearly seen.

Xie Chen stood by the bed for a long time, until the clouds covered the moonlight, and then wandered away again. He finally sighed, leaned down, reached out and caressed Sun Peng's lips, and bowed his head for a kiss.

The pleasant sandalwood scent made Sun Peng moan involuntarily, and licked his lips with his tongue.Moist lips, more and more people can't take their eyes off.

Xie Chen moved his eyes away, looked at the child curled up in Sun Peng's arms, stretched out his hand, and the child slowly left, revealing a clean white neck.

"Qichiro, this child will become your burden."

He murmured, under the moonlight, on his face, which was neither sad nor happy, the dark pupils were as cold as ice.Sun Peng's long breathing was heard next to his ears, and the surrounding was dead silent.

He raised his hand, flicked the ten-year Buddhist beads, and his fingers, which had copied countless scriptures, slowly wrapped around the child's neck, tightening bit by bit.

The child frowned uncomfortably, his slender neck only needed one hand to strangle his throat.

The pulse under the palm was beating step by step, without knowing that as long as this hand exerted a little more strength, the child could not wake up from sleep...

"Crack".

Suddenly there was a sound outside the door.

Xie Chen suddenly withdrew his hand, turned over, and jumped onto the beam in the house.

He squatted on the beam and clearly saw someone walking to the door.The door moved slightly, and a figure was clearly reflected on the paper curtain, who seemed to be trying to push the door open.

Sun Peng on the bed suddenly woke up at this time, almost at the moment he opened his eyes, he took out a small crossbow from the bedside, shot it out instantly, and shot through the door curtain at the person who came.

"Sun Qilang."

The person who came avoided the gun, lowered his body slightly, and looked in with a dark eye through the hole that was shot through.

On the beam, Xie Chen frowned tightly.

"Commander Yang," Sun Peng sat on the bed, the child had already woken up, and hid behind him by the hem of his clothes, "Commander Yang shouldn't have come here."

Outside the door, Yang Wei's figure slowly straightened up.The figure under the moon is very tall and huge, reflecting on the door like a ghost.

"Sun Qilang, you shouldn't have brought this child back."

"..."

"Master Sun has ironclad evidence in his hand, and the crown prince has no way to defend himself. Naturally, the crown prince's face is behind him, so he dare not touch the Sun family. But the Xu family is different."

"... Xu's family members under the age of 14 have already been sent into exile."

"Yes, exiled. They are all a group of teenagers. No one knows what will happen on the way to exile. Sun Qilang, hand over this evil son of the Xu family..."

Sun Peng could clearly feel the trembling of the child behind him. He raised his hand, pointed the crossbow at the door, and growled, "Commander Yang, please leave."

The door was pushed, and the latch made a rattling sound.

"Get out!"

The door doesn't move anymore.

A sneer came from outside the door: "Sun Qilang, if it wasn't for me today, do you think you and this child would still be alive?"

"Get out...whether it is you or the prince himself who is here tonight, get out of here!!!"

Yang Wei left the Sun Mansion quietly and disappeared into the shadows.

In the middle of the night in the capital, the watchman was walking slowly alone in the distance.Yang Wei was walking in the empty alley, when something suddenly came through the air.He stood still and raised his hand to touch his cheek.

There was blood, oozing from a gash that had been cut suddenly on his cheek.

"Who?"

No one answered, Yang Wei held the hilt of the saber at his waist, moved his footsteps slightly, and looked around.

"Stay away from Sun's house."

Someone's voice came from nowhere, hoarse and cold.

"who are you?"

"No one. Stay away from the Sun family, otherwise, be careful of your dog's life."

"Do you think……"

Before Yang Wei could speak, a cold dagger was pressed tightly against his throat.A little more force on the blade would have cut his throat.

Behind him was the mysterious man's faint scent of sandalwood.

"Get out of his sight and don't show up again."
