I wanted to embrace my master and return home

"This shop looks... so strange. Although it is a brothel, there are few people in it. The decorations are obviously very exquisite, and it doesn't look like it is difficult to do business." Yu Shubai carefully analyzed it and looked up at him.

"........."

Several other people also stopped, Zhang Sichen followed his gaze and looked at the plaque, a little puzzled, then wrinkled his nose: "There is a monster..."

It was only then that Gu Mo realized that it was strange. The door of this store was still wide open, but it was different from the bustling scene when he saw it last time. ——

It was too late to say it, it was so soon, he just came up with this idea, and a few beauties in cool clothes came out from behind the door, and they took the arms of a few passing men with ease and acted like a baby: "Officer, why don't you come in and have a drink, my servant?" Several are waiting for you!"

Avoided them alone.

It's nothing to smell the evil spirit, but this brothel looks so strange that people can't turn a blind eye.

Zhang Sichen walked in first, and the girl came up to meet him after stepping into the shop door, his eyes fell directly on Gu Mou's face, his cheeks flushed immediately, and he said with a flattering smile: "Good evening, guests, please sit here."

The girl twisted her waist into a water snake, and her hairpin almost fell to the ground. She took several people to a table and sat down. She turned around and said to go to tea. Zhang Sirun grabbed her and looked around. , pointing upstairs: "We're going to the private seats on the second floor."

The girl curled up a lock of fragrant hair, smiled familiarly, and said softly: "Oh, sir, you are late, the private seats are booked very fast these few days, and all of them have already been booked."

Zhang Sirun looked up and found that there were still several private seats empty, he frowned and said, "What about the wing room?"

"I'm really sorry, there are no more." The girl apologized.

Zhang Sirun pretended to be sullen: "Why is there nothing? It's so boring! How many tables are seated on this floor, you can count on one hand. It's just such a small business, and you actually told me it's full?"

"This... guest officer, don't be angry, wait for the servant to check, and take you up if you are free." The girl glanced at the sword in his hand, forced a smile, stretched out her hand and squeezed his neck comfortingly. shoulder, turned and walked towards the back kitchen.

Zhang Sirun and the others looked at each other, and they looked solemn, quietly observing the movement in the wing room on the second floor.

It was strange because there was no movement at all.

"Let's go." Gu Mou said lightly, got up and left.

"Ah?" Yang Chubao didn't react, so why did he leave, why don't you check?

Zhang Sichen took it for granted: "If you check again, you won't find anything. Monsters wandering around are the most cunning. Once they become suspicious, it's their own territory. It's too easy to slip away."

Going up now must be in vain, not only can't catch the monster, but also scare the snake.

They are wearing their own uniforms when they go out today, the swords of the sabers, especially Yushubai, the robes embroidered with gold thread are dazzling, and they are the bodies of cultivators. All are very eye-catching.

After leaving Huamanlou, a few people went to buy a few ordinary clothes of local style, and found a random inn to stay in. There was no follower behind them, so they must not have been deeply suspected.

"Guest officers, here is your room key, please keep it." The housekeeper of the inn handed the room card to Xiaoer, and then recommended with a smile: "Have you eaten your meal, do you want to fill your stomach first?" , the bad goose in this shop is the best in this area!"

"Dirty goose?" Zhang Sirun became interested, rubbed his belly and said, "I only want the goose meat from Chengxiang yellow distiller's grains!"

The butler patted the table: "Hey! It's Chengxiang's rice wine, you really know how to eat it, sir! You guys are going to have dinner downstairs later, right?"

"Hmm..." Zhang Sirun looked back at the people and was about to speak when Gu Mou suddenly said in a calm tone, "I don't want to eat."

After that, he went upstairs first.

"Hey, what's the matter?" Zhang Sirun was a little puzzled, but his lord was usually like this, so he didn't wonder for long, so he found a table and sat down.

Yu Shubai looked at the stairs where his figure disappeared, without saying a word, the corners of his lips curled up.

"Cut two taels of beef, a few dishes of side dishes to go with the wine, put some more chili peppers, and deliver it to that person." Zhang Sichen instructed Xiaoer with ease.

"Okay, let's go!"

Gu Mou asked someone to fetch water to take a bath, and lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking or what to think.

Until it was completely dark, there was no movement at the door.

"What am I expecting?" He muttered, he hadn't eaten for a day, his stomach was empty, his heart was empty, but he felt like he couldn't eat anything.

It would be nice if there were a few water chestnuts.

On the boat in the afternoon, Zhang Sichen peeled eight water chestnuts for Zhang Sirun, and asked Gu Mou if he wanted it. He shook his head and subconsciously glanced at Yushubai.

Then, Yu Shubai peeled off ten water chestnuts, five of them went into Yang Chubao's stomach, and the other five were placed on the table, but no one told him to eat them. When he got off the boat, the five snow-white water chestnuts were still on the table.

The water chestnuts in July are very ripe, and the sound of biting down knows that it is not astringent at all.

"Gu Mou, you are stupid."

He murmured, hearing Zhang Sirun and Zhang Sichen talking and laughing vaguely after returning to the room from the next door, he looked at the few dishes on the table, turned over and got out of bed, took out the bamboo leaf green that Cang Mo gave, and took a sip.

I am afraid that there is no one in the world as unpleasant as him. He can't speak and often offends people. He is awkward and hypocritical when he is old, and he can be depressed for a day after being "neglected".

He took the wine glass and poured a glass of wine into it. Looking at his fragmented reflection in the glass, his eyes were sore: "You're still ugly."

Ugly, unable to smile, with a cold face, without any affinity, and a slight frown to appear fierce, this is what the old people often call a fierce or bitter look.Unlike Yu Shubai, who is handsome and extravagant, with the corners of his lips curved, every plant and tree around him seems to be gentle.

Or it would be good to look like Zhang Sichen, gentle and elegant, a gentleman, the disciples like the elder Mingting the most.No matter how bad it is to grow up like Zhang Sirun and Yang Chubao, it would be nice, innocent and cute, and it would be more distressing to cry.

Really, don't cry, who cares about you, no matter how lonely the night is, don't you come here like this.Now, as you wish, he is finally back, don't be too greedy, no one owes you.

The wine Cang Mo brewed this time is really strong, I don't know if he did it on purpose, it almost brought tears to his eyes.

Bang, bang, the door was knocked lightly twice, there was no sound of footsteps at all, Gu Mou trembled his fingers, and was frightened back into tears.

"Chen Xianjun, are you asleep?" A clear and pleasant voice came from outside the door, not loud enough to be heard clearly.

Gu Mou opened his mouth slightly, he didn't know what to say for a while, and said dully for a while: "Go to sleep."

"Chen Xianjun is lying, the students have seen you sitting at the table." His smiling voice came from the door again, after that, he didn't ask any more questions, and slowly opened the door and came in.

Yu Shubai pushed the door open with one hand, and held a small basket of light red water chestnuts in the other hand, steaming, one could tell they were cooked.

The tip of his hair was wet, he should have taken a bath, and changed into a set of clothes, which he randomly picked out at a fabric store on the street during the day. The indigo-colored linen robe, without a waist belt, looked very comfortable.

Yu Shubai walked to the table and put down the water chestnut, took a closer look at him, and said "Yeah".

"What?" Gu Mou was a little surprised.

"I accidentally listened to something outside the door just now. Chen Xianjun said, what... is ugly? Who is ugly?" Yu Shubai asked with interest.

"..." Gu Mou looked at the wine glass subconsciously, and almost ignored him. His eyes wandered around the table, and he picked up the Zhuyeqing wine jar and said, "This wine jar is too ugly."

"Pfft——" Yu Shubai didn't hold back, took the jar of wine with a suppressed smile, and said softly: "You are so angry because the jar is ugly? Now, I boiled water chestnuts for you, don't cry."

Gu Mou's eyes widened, like a dog with fried hair, he lost his voice, "I didn't cry!"

Yu Shubai looked at him quietly, with a smile in his eyes, he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but his brows and eyes were full of tenderness and kindness, he pulled the stool and sat down, took a water chestnut and peeled it to himself and started talking words:

"Today on the boat, Elder Ming Ting asked you if you would eat water chestnuts. You shook your head, and then I remembered that the wine Elder Cangmo gave you was Zhuyeqing, which is cold in nature. The raw water chestnuts are also cold in nature. They should be eaten together. It’s not good for your stomach, and you don’t like warm wine, so I didn’t ask you to eat water chestnuts, thinking about cooking a pot for you alone when I came back. I just saw that you were depressed, so I realized that it’s not that you don’t want to eat water chestnuts, but I want to eat the water chestnut I peeled for you."

These words were really gentle and patient, with some hidden pampering, even if his face was as paralyzed as Gu Mou's, he couldn't help but blush, his whole heart was disturbed by him.

Yushu's delicate lips opened and closed, and he didn't remember anything except the last sentence, but he felt that there was something important in these words that was fleeting, and he didn't understand what to ask when he opened his mouth. He said: "You, how do you know this is Zhuyeqing?"

"I have been drinking this wine since I was a child, how could I not know it?" Yu Shubai smiled, and handed him the peeled water chestnut.Yu Shubai watched him eat quietly, his eyebrows like black ink, his body exuded a faint scent of saponins, which smelled exactly like Gu Mou, making people want to get close for no reason.

"Drinking from childhood to adulthood?"

"People often say that they think about people when they see things. I probably had an indissoluble bond with this wine in my previous life. When I tasted it for the first time, I felt very nostalgic. It seems that this small sip is filled with a story." Yu Shubai told himself He also poured a glass, but didn't drink it. He lowered his eyes and smiled slightly: "My mother said that in my previous life, I was a drop of bamboo leaf green in the wine fairy's gourd, which fell to the ground and became a spirit, and was reincarnated."

"And then?" Gu Mou wanted to swallow the soft water chestnut, but he couldn't, as if something was stuck in his throat.

"Therefore, there is a wine fairy, he certainly does not remember a drop of wine falling out of the big gourd around his waist, because what he cares about is always the other half of the wine in the gourd, so no matter how much that drop of wine is for him, he will never forget it. Followed him all his life, until he got lost and dried up, and he never looked back."

Yu Shubai smiled faintly, and lightly tapped the slender and white fingertips on the surface of the wine, stained with crystal water, like tears: "The life of a drop of wine is short, precisely because it is too short. It's so hard to get into someone's heart."
