[Qin] Qin Shi

In Bai Shu's impression, Lin Xiangru has always been the one who took the place of Lian Po with nothing to do, and after walking a long distance to find him, he pretended to be crazy in front of him, causing him to expose all his weaknesses thoroughly, and was rejected by him. The shrewd little old man who has been fully used and calculated by the other party.

So when he heard that Lin Xiangru was seriously ill, he didn't believe it.In just a few short years, the man who was able to go all the way to plot him to a complete defeat, the man who helped Lian Po return to the war arena, and the man who has been helping the logistics behind him, the man who can control him as far away as Handan The man at the border, in Bai Shu's heart, is like a mountain that cannot be shaken, but it will fall down?

He thought it was just Lin Xiangru's new trick, just like he pretended to be Lian Po to test him, but it was just a new plan to test some unlucky kid who was about to fall into a trap but didn't know it.

Just this thought, when he walked through the slightly dilapidated courtyard of Lin Mansion, when he saw Lin Xiangru again, it was like a beautiful soap bubble under the sun, with brilliant light and anticipation, blown to pieces.

He may not be as serious as the terminally ill and unable to move in the letter, but the old man sitting in the yard wrapped in a blanket.His curled up figure, silver-white hair with no black silk anymore, and pale and sickly face all told Bai Shu that Lin Xiangru was really old compared to the parting a few years ago.

The old man just leaned on the low seat in the yard, with his eyes closed, his chest not rising and falling.His quiet and peaceful appearance seemed to have let go of all worries, and passed away quietly: "Lin...xiang?" The old man didn't wake up until he approached, which made Bai Shu a little flustered.

The man called by Bai Shu didn't respond, he just sat there quietly.The garden is very quiet, occasionally there are birds chirping, but this intrusive sound makes Bai Shu flustered, he doesn't know what he is afraid of, but his heartbeat that is gradually accelerating is naked declares his fear.

'system? 'He urgently needs someone, just anyone, to tell him that Lin Xiangru is still alive.

【He's not dead yet.】The system sensed Bai Shu's helplessness, and calmed Bai Shu's anxiety with an answer. 【He still has a heartbeat. 】

For the first time in his life, Bai Shu realized that the existence of the system is so important: "Lin Xiang," Bai Shu's voice this time was much calmer than the first time he spoke, "Since Lin Xiang is gone, think about it." You should also call people and tell them that their respected Lin Xiang has been enthroned in bliss."

After speaking, Bai Shu took a step back, pretending to turn around and plan to leave.But as soon as he finished speaking, the old man opened his eyes, and there was no cloudiness in his eyes: "Little boy, I haven't seen you in the past few years, but you have become more and more boring." His voice was a little weak, but fortunately, he still said the sentence in full out.

"I can't play this kind of boring game of 'guess whether I'm dead or not' with Lin Xiangru, which disappoints Lin Xiangru. It's really a sin." Looking at the disappointment on Lin Xiangru's thin face and the expression of "since you know why you don't cooperate", Condemning, a nameless anger gradually climbed from the bottom of my heart, "Is it fun to scare people?"

He ran over from the border all the way, he didn't dare to rest and was unwilling to stop along the way, lest he miss the last side of worry, his tiredness and embarrassment, his worry, fear and bewilderment. Lin Xiangru, who was in the mood to pretend to be dead to scare others, turned into grievance and anger.

I was so worried about you that I even came back from a long distance to visit you. Is this how you treat me?

But opposite him was Lin Xiangru, Lin Xiangru who was calculating at every step: "If there's nothing else, I'll go down to wash and rest. I came here overnight from the border, I'm very tired." Bai Shu suppressed the anger in his heart, trying to calm down The tone described his grievance that he didn't know where he came from, and he didn't know where to go.

"You're worried about me, old man." Lin Xiangru saw Bai Shu's deep dissatisfaction and grievance hidden under his calmness. He waved to Bai Shu, and then patted the small stone bench beside him, signaling that Bai Shu was here. He sat down beside him, "The old reckless man has been showing off to the old man all this time, now seeing you in person, you are really outstanding."

Bai Shu stood there without moving, ignoring Lin Xiangru's hint.Even after hearing Lin Xiangru's compliment, he just pulled the corners of his sinking mouth and gave him an almost perfunctory smile.The smile was fleeting: "I would also like to thank Lin Xiang for guiding me all these years away in Handan."

The wording can be said to be quite impolite.

Lin Xiangru wasn't angry either, he shook his head like a person who didn't understand the sarcasm in his studies, "Isn't it all because of you outstanding young people, don't be tired, don't be tired."

As if Bai Shu's praise was sincere, his face was full of pride: "It is also gratifying to see you like this now, and I am worthy of the old man's guidance all these years."

Bai Shu was so pissed off by Lin Xiangru's shameless behavior, compared to Lian Po, a martial artist who is easy to understand most of the time and occasionally thinks about it, Lin Xiangru probably really made Bai Shu gritted his teeth, but he had to thank him in his heart Remember the existence of grace.

Just like his worry and anxiety on the road when he dared to go back thousands of miles, the relaxation and joy when he waited at the gate of Lin's mansion, seeing Lin Xiangru still have the energy to play with his helplessness and absurdity, and the other party's shameless and aggressive attitude when he regarded derogation as a compliment Stuffed and irritable.

There is no one else who can make Bai Shu feel so ups and downs in such a short period of time, except Lin Xiangru: "Thank you so much," Bai Shu twitched the corner of his mouth, trying to squeeze out his praise, "It's really gratitude."

Bai Shu really admired Lin Xiangru who had been in charge of Zhao Guo all his life, and even added a little gratitude because later Lin Xiangru knew about his situation and took precautions in every possible way but did not stop Lian Po from cultivating him.It's just that such feelings, for some reason, changed after being pointed out by Lin Xiangru at this moment.

Facing Bai Shu's devastated expression, Lin Xiangru smiled even more happily.His pale face was a little rosy because of his smile, and he looked more energetic than before.

Seeing Lin Xiangru who was so energetic and even had the mood and ability to tease him, Bai Shu unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.The worries along the way were just groundless worries, and the tense nerves finally relaxed at this moment, and a huge sense of fatigue quickly swept over Bai Shu. The exhaustion and tiredness of driving all night made Bai Shu's body go limp, and he almost failed to stand still .

"So I said it earlier, come and sit down. If you don't listen to the old man's advice, such a stubborn child will suffer sooner or later." Lin Xiangru shook his head sadly, as if worrying about this child, "Everyone is so familiar. Just sit as you please." Having said this, he pointed to the low stool beside him again.

"You just made a meaningless movement, instead of telling me: 'This is the seat reserved for you, sit'." Bai Shu, who was extremely tired, didn't care about any etiquette, and sat down just like that with a cloak , sat at Lin Xiangru's feet.

Bai Shu who closed his eyes to rest did not see how gentle and loving Lin Xiangru looked at him when he sat down beside Lin Xiangru's lap.

"Thank you." In the darkness, a hand gently covered the top of Bai Shu's head. This hand was old and dry, but it carried a scorching temperature, sending warmth and strength into Bai Shu's body continuously like a source. Just like the first time I saw it, "The sky at the border is very different from Handan."

It was rare for Bai Shu to break free from the big hand stroking the top of his head. He would not admit that he was enjoying it at the moment: "It's okay, it's all blue anyway." He didn't want to answer Lin Xiangru's words honestly, anyway. They all know the answer.

Lin Xiangru was amused by Bai Shu, but he coughed and panted before he laughed twice, so scared that Bai Shu immediately opened his eyes to see Lin Xiangru's situation.

——It was the other party's playful smile that caught the eye.

So Bai Shu understood that he was teased by the other party again: "Hey, you are enough!" He stared at Lin Xiangru angrily, "So call me back from all the way, if there is nothing important, I will really Turn your face!"

"Xiao Shu, what do you mean by 'important matter'?" Lin Xiangru saw that Bai Shu didn't break free from his hand covering his head, and his smile became brighter. Isn't it important?" He chuckled softly, and said, "Is it important to have a glimpse of Zhao's future?"

"I haven't promised you yet," Bai Shu muttered in a low voice, "Do you know that old man of yours is too much? I was just on guard against you, but I didn't expect that to be a worry."

Hearing Bai Shu's complaints and seeing his rather distressed expression, Lin Xiangru rarely pointed out that Bai Shu's position in speaking at this moment was no longer what he was when he first met him, he was just a bystander of Zhao Guo.At this moment, he is complaining to his boss about another boss with the attitude of a commoner in Zhao country.

Lin Xiangru had to admit that after winning Lian Po for so many years, he finally lost his sight.He thought that the little ghost he didn't know well, the outsider who didn't have a sense of belonging to Zhao, after getting along with Lian Po in the past few years, after living in the border, just like Lian Po's promise to him at the beginning, has gradually begun to be accepted. assimilation.

This time, in terms of judging people, he may really have lost to Lian Po.

It's just a pity, Lin Xiangru looked at Bai Shu, it's just a pity, old man, I will leave after you leave Zhao Guo, without you and me, I don't know how much this child will remember in the future What about his kindness?

"That's right, that old man is really a headache." Lin Xiangru lowered his voice, like a friend who was evaluating others with his classmates after class, but he was afraid of hearing the person, "I just put up with that old guy all my life. , how short a life is!"

He complained, but his face was full of complacency and showing off that was completely opposite to his tone: "Only the old man can endure that walking reckless man who never has a long memory."

"Heh!" Thinking of those soldiers in Lin Xiangru's house who looked like they were from the elites of the army, who had seen blood and were brave and good at fighting, Bai Shu sneered, and didn't answer the words that were complaining on the surface, but showing off in fact. Well, "Yeah, what a coincidence, I think he thinks so too."

Hearing Bai Shuman's resentful words, and seeing the little guy's perfunctory and sad expression, Lin Xiangru only felt that his heart, which had been clouded by the dark clouds of those bad things in Handan City these days, saw the long-lost sunshine.

The wind in autumn is not as piercing as winter, nor is it as scorching hot as summer. Sitting in the garden, sitting in the refreshing autumn wind, it is rare to be calm.

Until Lin Xiangru felt the strength pressing on his legs, he looked down and saw a young man who was about to fall asleep in a daze with his legs stretched out and leaning against him.

"This life between me and him, what's wrong with that?" Lin Xiangru pulled Bai Shu into his arms, found him a more comfortable position, and watched the tired young man fall asleep, "May you also There can be one person who is like an enemy or a friend, like a teacher or a disciple, who will be entangled for a lifetime."

Otherwise, as smart as you, with a bright future like you, if no one goes with you, how lonely and confused the journey will be.
