Song of Complaint: The Emperor's Heart is Unpredictable

The first and middle of each month are the days when Murong Chenghe goes out to see a doctor, which is the teaching of Master.

Today is the end of the month, and tomorrow is the beginning of the month...

It's almost December, and although the terrain in the valley is low, it's snowing heavily.In the early morning, Murong Chenghe coughed again and again, so he asked Ah Jiu to open the window to ventilate, but he saw the red plums standing on the branches outside the house, and the medicinal herbs he carefully cultivated had been buried in the thick snow. Murong Cheng and Gu Not wanting to go out to save her body from the cold, Ah Jiu saw Murong Cheng and the blankets covering his legs fall to the ground, feeling a little pain in his heart.This extremely intelligent but innocent and kind-hearted young man is not good at conduct, how can we not let people lament.

"My lord, let me go." Ah Jiu put the blanket on his lap and walked out of the house quickly.The cold wind was bitter, blowing on the face like a knife, but Ah Jiu didn't even frown.

Murong Chenghe tightened the white cloak around his body and kept coughing, his body trembling slightly.

After a long time, Ah Jiu finally cleared all the snow out of the medicine garden, and found branches to build a simple shed. He seemed quite proud of his masterpiece, looking at Murong Chenghe in the room with a slight smile, no need What language, everything makes people feel very warm.

Chu Nan was about to enter the courtyard, but stopped.

He stared fixedly at this ordinary and warm picture, and the memory flooded him.

His greatest wish back then was nothing more than that.

Have a place to live, find a person to die.

In the end, there was nothing. He came and went alone, alone.

"Cough..." He coughed in disguise, and said as he entered the room, "Tomorrow will be the first month of the month. I'll come and see if there's anything I can do to help."

"Brother Chu is here, come in quickly, it's very cold outside." Murong Chenghe seemed very happy, and hurriedly handed him the stove.

"No need, brother Murong is not in good health, you have to take care of yourself." Chu Nan hurriedly shied away, but looked at Ah Jiu's angry eyes outside the room and felt a headache.

Every time he gets close to Murong Cheng and Ah Jiu, he will look at him with such eyes, as if he has revenge for killing his father, but he doesn't know that it will be hard to be tempted by someone like him in this life.

"Chenghe, you will go out of the valley tomorrow... If you meet any strange person and ask you something, just pretend that you don't know." He actually came here for this matter.Maybe he took himself too seriously, he always felt that Jingyang would not give up so easily, but he didn't want to be found by him.

Now that you feel like you've disappeared, let's disappear completely.

"Strange person?" There seemed to be a big question mark flashing in Murong Chenghe's innocent eyes. "What is a strange person?"

"Well... that's right, it's the kind of person who asks you if you've seen a certain kind of person, and asks you about something." Chu Nan replied racking his brains.

"Why did they ask me?" Murong Chenghe had never met this kind of person in the 17 years that he was close to blank, so he couldn't understand it at all.

"Well... I want to ask, why don't you understand a little bit of human affairs after you have been out of the valley so many times?" Chu Nan was really helpless, every time Murong Chenghe left him speechless.

"I used to go out of the valley with Master. Every time I was busy getting medicine and prescribing prescriptions, I was so busy that I didn't have time to eat. Later, when I went out with Ah Jiu, he always protected me tightly..." Murong Chenghe hesitated.

"You protected him very well." This sentence was said by Chu Nan to Ah Jiu. He could see that Ah Jiu had paid a lot for Murong Chenghe.

"However, Big Brother Chu, won't you go with us?" Murong Chenghe asked suddenly, with an unignorable sadness in his eyes.

"No, I..." Chu Nan didn't know what tone to use to tell this long story.

"What is your identity? Chu Nan." Ah Jiu had already returned to the house, and asked after hearing this sentence, his eyes were full of doubts.

"Ah Jiu, why are you doing this? Brother Chu was rescued by me, no matter what his identity was before, he is now a guest of my Medicine King Valley." This was the first time Chu Nan saw Murong Chenghe angry, this pale The fragile young man seemed to become fierce all of a sudden.

Ah Jiu's heart ached like a needle prick. For four years, he gave up his identity as a generation of swordsmen and lived in seclusion in this valley, silently guarding this young man, watching him grow from a weak child to such a handsome young man, But this person of unknown origin was almost about to take away his only warmth.

"What is my identity? What about you? Ah Jiu." Chu Nan looked at Ah Jiu with the light of insight in his eyes. "We're all just people with a story."

"A person with a story..." Ah Jiu repeated these words, with inexplicable sadness in his eyes.

"Yeah, no matter who we used to be, now I'm just Chu Nan, and you're just Ah Jiu, right?" He used to be the emperor's imperial guard, but now he's just a useless person.

***

In the early morning of the next day, the snow was still fluttering down, but Murong Chenghe got up very early.

He gets up very early at the beginning of each month, he doesn't want the patient to wait in the wind.

"Ah Jiu, have you tidied up all the medicine boxes?" He asked while putting on his windproof cap.

"Don't worry, my lord." Ah Jiu quickly counted the herbs.

"Then let's call Brother Chu." Murong Chenghe looked at Ah Jiu's busy figure, and suddenly continued, "It's just that I have to work hard for you again, Ah Jiu."

Ah Jiu smiled heartily, and said indifferently, "That was all voluntary by Ah Jiu, so there is no hard work." Then he knelt down and carried Murong Chenghe on his back, and walked towards the wooden house.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, Murong Chenghe held up a paper umbrella and tried his best to block the snowflakes for Ah Jiu.He raised his cloak again to cover Ah Jiu's cold hands.

"Brother Chu, Brother Chu, open the door." When they arrived at the wooden house, they found that Chu Nan hadn't gotten up yet, so the two had to call outside the door.

"Brother Chu? Are you awake? Today we are going out of the valley, have you forgotten?" Murong Chenghe asked suspiciously.

After another half stick of incense, there was still silence inside the door.

"My lord, let's not wait for him. It's snowing so heavily. If we don't get out of the valley, the road will be difficult." Ah Jiu naturally didn't want Chu Nan to go with them.

"Brother Chu, are you there? If you don't open the door, I'll come in?" Murong Chenghe didn't give up.

"My lord, if we don't go, the villagers will all suffer from frostbite." Ah Jiu knew that this method would definitely work.

Sure enough, Murong Chenghe stopped when he heard these words, he stopped knocking on the door and stopped calling Chu Nan.Ah Jiu was about to carry him out of the valley, but he heard him say, "Ah Jiu, knock the door open."

"This...Young Master, this is not very good." This was simply unexpected.

"I have a bad feeling, hurry up and run away." Murong Chenghe said anxiously.

"Okay then." Although he was reluctant in every possible way, Ah Jiu still didn't insist anymore. He put Murong Chenghe in a dry place under the eaves, and carefully covered his legs with a cloak before going to the door to open it. , he summoned his true energy and slapped the wooden door with his palm, and the snowflakes around him scattered in all directions due to the wind of the palm. With a "bang", half of the hard wooden door made of pine was instantly knocked off, and the door bolt shook. Flew to the corner.The strange thing is that Chu Nan was lying on the bed peacefully, not halfway waking up.He went out again and carried Murong Chenghe back into the room and put him on the stool.

The man on the bed was sweating profusely in the snowy winter day, his cheeks were flushed, and his chapped lips were muttering to himself, not knowing what he was talking about.

Looking at Chu Nan like this, Murong Chenghe felt distressed.

He had taken care of this man for 340 nine days, watched him linger on the dying raft, watched him toss and turn in nightmares, watched him miss someone in a coma.

That period of time was estimated to be the busiest day in his history. Every morning he would visit him in the wooden house, wipe his body and feed him medicine.Chu Nan's injuries were extremely serious. Not only was his chest pierced by a feathered arrow, but he also suffered serious internal injuries. It wasn't just whoever hit him so hard that his veins were almost broken.In order to prescribe medicine for him, he read a whole room of medical books left by his master until he was so tired that he fainted in a wheelchair... He almost lost confidence in his medical skills.

He was so afraid that he would just sleep like this and never wake up again.

He didn't want his life to be lost before his eyes.

But heaven has eyes, and he finally woke up.

After waking up, Chu Nan no longer held his hand like he was in a coma, which made him a little disappointed, but he would talk to him and smile at him. This is the most beautiful smile Murong Chenghe has seen in 17 years, although outside The villagers would also smile at him, but it was a grateful smile, while Chu Nan's smile was calm after experiencing death, which made him dazzled.

I thought that after he woke up, I could finally sleep peacefully, but I didn't expect that he would still come over to see him every day... Murong Chenghe didn't know what was wrong with him, as if he had formed a habit, and didn't see him every day. When he arrived, he felt lost.He had doubts and panicked, but in the end he let himself indulge in this emotion, because this feeling is very beautiful...

He raised his hand to touch Chu Nan's forehead, but he was grabbed.He was so pale that his face suddenly turned red, and his heart beat a few beats faster.

"Jingyang... don't go, I know it's you." Chu Nan said this vaguely, but clenched his hands tightly.He can't let go anymore, countless times he watched Jingyang's back disappear before his eyes, this time he absolutely can't let go again.

"Brother Chu...you, wake up, you're dreaming." Murong Chenghe's face turned a little red because of the pain in his hand.

Looking at the two clasped hands, Ah Jiu felt extremely dazzling, and the fear in her heart quickly collapsed.Finally...is it over?His four years of guardianship.

"Brother Chu, I'm Chenghe, wake up quickly." Murong Chenghe wanted to pull out his hand, but Chu Nan refused to let go.

Finally, Ah Jiu couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward and grabbed the skirt of Chu Nan's chest, shaking it violently.The only reason why he didn't punch him directly was because he was afraid that Murong Chenghe would get angry.

Chu Nan finally woke up dizzy and dizzy in the violent shaking. He looked at Ah Jiu's distorted face due to jealousy, and then at Murong Chenghe's worried eyes. He was stunned for a long time before remembering that he was upset and couldn't sleep last night. , Qiang Zi Yungong danced sword in the courtyard, but most of his martial arts had already been abolished, how could he stand up to all kinds of tossings, probably because he suffered from the cold while practicing in a snowy day... and then passed out in his sleep.

After trying to understand this layer, he originally wanted to explain, but suddenly found that he was holding Murong Chenghe's hand, and he withdrew his hand as if he had been burned, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.

"Brother Chu caught a cold last night, didn't you?" Murong Chenghe was also a little embarrassed, so he opened his mouth to break the calm, and stretched out his hand to feel Chu Nan's pulse.

"Yeah, alas... It's not as good as before, and I fell ill like this." Chu Nan also took advantage of the situation to avoid the topic.

"You just recovered, how can you practice in a snowy day? Where do I have some medicine? It's not a problem to cure a headache and brain fever. Let's go after you take it." Murong Chenghe was so smart, he guessed right.

"Hmph, you have delayed us for so long, the villagers outside the valley will have to work hard again if you get frostbite, Young Master." Ah Jiu was indignant.

"Ah Jiu." Murong Chenghe called out, and then stopped talking, as if he was a little angry.

"..." Ah Jiu smiled bitterly, and retreated into the shadows.

"Then... let's go out of the valley right now? There's no need to take the medicine. I'm sweating profusely, so it's nothing serious." Chu Nan was quite embarrassed, so he got out of bed and prepared to go out of the valley. He would rather feel uncomfortable than See Ah Jiu's eyes.What's more, subconsciously, he didn't want Ah Jiu to be so sad, because then he seemed to see his former self.

Same humbleness.

The same deep love.

Same silence.

When he walked to the door and saw the wooden door, Chu Nan froze for a moment.

"I was worried about something unexpected happening to Big Brother Chu, that's why I broke in. Please don't take offense, Big Brother Chu." Murong Chenghe hurriedly apologized, sneaking a look at Chu Nan out of the corner of his eye, as if he was afraid that he would be unhappy.

"Where is it, Cheng He has a heart, and it is too late for Chu Nan to be grateful." Chu Nan smiled, and he was really grateful. In his life, there was Jing Jing and Master, and no one treated him so well.

That smile again...

Murong Chenghe looked at Chu Nan fascinatedly, it was such a refreshing smile that made him sink deeper and deeper, and one day he would be unable to extricate himself.
