Copper Coins

Behind the Dupan Mountain Bamboo Building, there is an eye hot spring near the mountain wall. It is not very big, and it does not exceed two feet in length and width. There are green bamboo and wild flowers by the pool, and there is even a small bamboo pavilion. It is a leisurely and comfortable place. place.

In the past hundred years, because of the fog and miasma in the mountains and the legends, this hot spring has never been touched by outsiders. The only people who can use this hot spring are the owners of the bamboo building. There used to be one, and now there are two .

Xue Xian forcibly drank himself into a drunken dragon, but he was still consciously sober, so he insisted on dragging Xuan Min to the clouds.

Xuan Min used to let him make trouble, so he really returned home with a dragon.During the journey, a certain person strayed several times, and almost took Xuan Min to the frontier. Fortunately, Xuan Min had a strong sense of direction, stopped his losses in time, and coaxed him back on the right track in a serious manner.

In short, he got out of the illusion of ninety-nine and eighty-one troubles on the originally smooth road, and finally saw the shadow of Dupan Mountain at dawn.

The effect of the dragon saliva had been sharply worn overnight, and it had penetrated into the skin and bones. Xue Xian almost couldn't wait to find the bamboo building, and planted it directly along the mountain wall into the hot spring.Halfway through his fall he shifted dizzily.

Xuan Min's monk's robe was rippling on the surface of the water, he supported the cold stone by the pool with one hand, just raised his eyes, and saw a small black shadow flashing past his eyes.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand...

A small black dragon like a thin rope hangs down on his finger, its tail curls up and down, writhing around his finger, it's very unbearable.

Xuan Min: "…………………………"

Even he can't bear the effects of the dragon saliva, especially some people always like to deliberately arouse those effects and deepen them.Therefore, his eyelashes are also wet at this time, and the light in his eyes shines out from the half-drooped eyelids, which is bottomless, and contains a deliberately suppressed desire.

He flicked the drooping faucet with his fingers, causing the other party to sway left and right half-deadly, and said in a deep voice, "It's changed."

Xue Xian was entangled in Xuan Min's hand, rubbing it impatiently, and reacted for a long time, only to realize that he, who should have changed back into a human form, had accidentally shrunk.He snorted and immediately turned into a human.

Normally, when transforming into form, he would always put on his clothes in the blink of an eye.This time it was half draped, and suddenly it occurred to me that it would have to be taken off later, so why bother, it was just half draped and half draped, hugging Xuan Min and making a fuss.

The color of the black robe became more intense after being soaked in water, and spread out on the surface of the water to form a wet ink, and under the continuous rippling ripples pushed the cage, it piled up with Xuan Min's snow-white monk's robe.

In the confusion, Xue Xian bit Xuan Min's chin and said vaguely, "How about letting me..."

Halfway through speaking, he grunted again and shook his head, rubbed the bridge of his nose against Xuan Min's neck, and said to himself, "Forget it, I finally rescued you, I'd better save your life."

Xuan Min just rolled his eyelids and didn't say anything.

After a while, Xue Xian was pushed against the stone wall, his long straight legs emerged from the black robe floating on the water, and wrapped around Xuan Min's body, and when he was about to find the exit full of anxiety, Xuan Min suddenly stopped moving. , looking down at Xue Xian's widened eyes and slightly parted lips, and asked in a slow and calm voice: "You really don't want what you said earlier?"

Xue Xian didn't have the thought to think about what he had said at this moment. He squinted his eyes and hooked Xuan Min's neck, and kissed it impatiently, sticking to Xuan Min's thin lips, following his movements one after another. Panting vaguely: "Don't want to, don't want to, what do you care about so much, it's true to hurry up."

……

The black bird cub had heard the dragon chant and flapped his wings to meet it, but just as he jumped out from the wild forest, he saw two intertwined figures in the hot spring, and immediately ran away in fright, looking for a crooked tree full of depression. Neck tree, stretched his head and gestured on the old vine hanging from the branch for a long time, but couldn't find a suitable angle to hang himself.

He could only stretch his feet and fainted in the tree branch, unconscious.

When the two people in the mountains were messing around in the dark, in Hugua Lane in Wolong County, Shi Zhang, who was half sober, was leaning crookedly against the door, sending Lu Nianqi away with snot and tears.

The fate between mortals is always so strange, two people who had nothing to do with each other at first, and even walk in the market may not even know how to say hello, suddenly get involved together because of an accident.Even though they didn't even say a word of seriousness to each other along the way, it was full of squeezes, but after experiencing life and death, it seemed that they suddenly became special people, and after a few years, they would naturally become special old friends.

Shitou Zhang didn't know what he was crying for, obviously, the experience was so frustrating, and his life was always in danger.But maybe it is too thrilling, so that it is only once in life, so it is particularly emotional and nostalgic.And the old people who have witnessed these things also see each other once less, and maybe one day they will never see each other again.

Lu Nianqi never said hello to him, but before he left, he suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and said something very rare: "Why are you crying, there are still so many years in this life, this life is over, and there is a next life The old friend is always there, at least those two are always there, maybe one day in the next life, you will run into them again."

After Shitou cried out his tears, he finally woke up completely from the wine. While wiping his eyes in embarrassment, he bade farewell to Lu Nianqi.

Early in the morning, Wolong County is not quiet. There are always voices along the river. Fishing boats or passenger boats never stop, mixed with the vendors in the market, showing a strong atmosphere of human fireworks.

His half-blind eyes, although not enough to make him stumble, are somewhat different from ordinary people.Lu Nianqi never walked impetuously, and always walked very slowly, but it was not the kind of slowness that was groping, but gave people a feeling that he was taking every step seriously.

He walked out of Hugua Lane slowly, according to the habit of ordinary people, always turn right at the end of the alley, walk along a very lively long street, and walk to the opposite side of the square.

There is a well-known restaurant called Tianxiangju on Long Street. The steamed stuffed buns sold by the waiter in Tianxiangju in the morning are famous for their deliciousness.Listening to the waiter's hawking, Lu Nianqi slowly turned right out of the alley, walked up the long street, and walked downstairs to Tianxiangju, where he bought some steamed buns and sweet cakes for the three dolls he found at home.

He should have continued down this road, since it was the closest to his residence after all.However, when the waiter wrapped the buns and sweet cakes for him, he inexplicably thought of going another way.

The idea came out of nowhere, without warning.Generally speaking, he calls this intuition.

Lu Nianqi is a person with physique and spirit, so he follows his intuition very much.Without any hesitation, he simply turned on tiptoe, copied from a diagonal alley at the back of Tianxiang Residence, and walked along a road near the river.

This road is very barren, and some rich and noble families will throw away unwanted straw mats or moldy quilts, and they will throw them here on a barren slope beside the river bank.So beggars and refugees like to come here to hang around, pick up some useful things and go.

After coming and going, this place really became a den of beggars, but over the years, there have been a lot fewer beggars, and even more refugees.This early in the morning, the only few beggars will not gather here, after all, the river wind is too strong.They would go to the market to beg for leftovers or porridge.

Lu Nianqi didn't care who was nested here or what was discarded, he just followed his intuition and walked this way.

When he came to a low slope, he stopped suddenly.Because he heard the slight and trembling breathing on the side of the low slope.

"Who's over there?" Lu Nianqi asked, turning to look over.

Perhaps it was because his eyeballs rolled differently from ordinary people, or maybe he looked weak and not like a fierce person. After asking this question, a while later, a thin figure cautiously poked his head out from behind Aopo.

It was a child of three or four years old, with a disheveled face, and the gown on his body was stained with a lot of plaster and scratched a little, as if it had been discarded.

"Where are your parents?" Lu Nianqi asked.

The child stared at his eyes with dark eyes for a long time, then stared at the bloody mole on his forehead for a while, and said softly: "There are no parents."

"Then why are you here?" Lu Nianqi asked again.

The child thought about it and shook his head.

……

Lu Nianqi asked patiently for a while, but found nothing, as if this child was raised by nature and suddenly appeared here.He has been picking up children at home for many years, and naturally he can't ignore them when he sees them at such a young age.So he led the boy to the edge of the shallows and helped him wash the mud off his face.

He was about to say something, but saw the child raised his head after washing his face and looked at him timidly.

The child's skin was actually very white, but it was only covered by mud and it was revealed after washing.Those eyebrows and eyes suddenly resembled another child many years ago.What really made Lu Nianqi speechless was a red mole on the child's forehead.

Small, with the moisture of the river, it just landed on the Palace of Fate, exactly the same as the one on Lu Nianqi's forehead.

Twenty-seven squatted in front of the child blankly, looking at his forehead, unable to blink for a long time.

"Why... are you crying?" The child spoke with a strong childishness, and seemed a little slurred and timid, which made people's hearts sore and soft.

Lu Nianqi blinked suddenly, and big tears fell directly to the ground.He took a breath and said in a low voice, "No, I'm just... a little carried away with joy."

The child looked at him with his dark eyes open, and tried to reach out and wipe the corner of his eyes awkwardly with his fingers, but almost poked his eyes.

Nian Qi didn't mind, but he blinked hard several times, blinking away the rising water vapor, and asked in a gentle tone rarely seen in his life: "I'll take you home, okay?"

The child asked, "Will you be hungry?"

"No, not in this life."

The child "examined" him solemnly for a moment, as if pondering whether Nian Qi's words were credible.However, he was too young, so he really couldn't figure out anything complicated. He only saw the package in Nianqi's hand and smelled the aroma of the steamed stuffed bun.

So he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Okay."

I miss someone, far away from home.

After 12 years of separation, the old man from far away finally returned home.
