I sell hot pot in Dasong [farming]

Si Nan was surprisingly calm.

He washed the children's faces, took out the usual wound medicine, and applied it one by one.

He painted very slowly, firmly imprinting every wound, every redness and swelling on every child's face and body in his mind.

Remember it clearly, so you can get it back.

The children were obedient and did not ask what that sentence meant.

The little ones carefully admitted their mistakes and said they would never fight again.

Si Nan carried them to the bed one by one, covered them with quilts, and said, "No, there will be another time, you should be beaten and scolded, just one thing, protect yourself and don't get hurt again."

The children pulled the quilt over their faces, revealing only a pair of round eyes, looking at Si Nan without blinking.

When he said this, Brother Master's expression was a little scary, but it made them feel at ease and at ease.

The children gradually fell asleep with their red and swollen faces.

Si Nan picked up their small schoolbags, carried them to his room, lit the oil lamp, threaded the needles, and sewed them one by one.

My heart was very confused, and I got stuck in my hand several times, but I didn't stop.

The cubs have to go to school tomorrow and must sew well.

The oil lamp was very dim, and the candlelight flickered.

Si Nan's shadow was reflected on the wall, leaning over, with his head down, thin and gray.

For no reason, I thought of my modern father.

That summer, Sinan graduated from junior high school and was about to enter high school.

Si's father rarely spared a day to help him buy a new schoolbag and new stationery for his studies.

In fact, Sinan could buy these by himself, but seeing his father's excited appearance, he let him go.

Even if he buys himself a childish dinosaur bag.

The kid from the neighbor's house came to play, sneaked into his room while the adults were talking, turned out the schoolbag, and saw a danmei manga.

The child is already ten years old and understands everything. When he saw the picture of a man and a man kissing, he laughed and showed it to the adults.

The neighbors not only passed it back and forth to see it, but also raised their voices and said, "Isn't this gay? How can normal people read this? Xiao Nan, you shouldn't have a problem with this, right? If it doesn't work, find a doctor to take a look."

Si Nan will never forget his father's expression at that time until his death.

Dad didn't say anything at the time, but just threw the comic and the new dinosaur schoolbag into the trash can.

That night, he smoked three packs of cigarettes on the balcony, one after another.

Si Nan was sitting on the Chunqiu chair in the living room, watching his shadow, dark and thin, reflected on the wall.

He would rather his father ask, "Are you?"

Or just beat him up.

nothing.

On the contrary, Sinan will never forget it.

No need to think about it, the rumors that "the Si family's child has something wrong" and "in the end it's because there is no mother to teach" spread throughout the community.

When the neighbors saw the father and son, they were still polite on the surface, but they couldn't hide the look of ridicule, guard, or sympathy in their eyes.

It was the first time that Si Nan hated his specialness.

If these were all aimed at him, he would not be afraid at all, but he would be ashamed to let his father suffer from stares and criticism.

Later, Sinan beat up the kid who said everywhere that he and his father were gay.Later, he and his father moved out of that community and lived on the other side of the city.

Until Sinan crossed over, Si's father never asked him directly if he was gay.

Thinking about it now, are you afraid to ask?

Afraid to ask, Sinan said yes.

Now, the relationship between him and Tang Xuan, if you want to come, the officials have already guessed a thing or two.The officials made indirect remarks and euphemistic reminders, just because they were afraid that he would miss Tang Xuan's future.

Si Nan suddenly felt wronged.

Tang Xuan had an adoptive father who was always considerate of him, but he didn't.Even if the original body's parents are still there, they are not his.If they knew that they had taken over this body, they might not only not protect him, but would also try to beat him away.

There has never been a moment like this, when I clearly realize that I am an outsider.

Sinan's eyes were sour, and the needle money in his hand became blurred.

He raised his face, stubbornly refusing to let the tears flow down.

It wasn't until the last stitch was finished that Sinan got up, twisted his neck, which had not moved for a long time, and stepped into the moonlight step by step.

At the end of the long street, a person came.

The tall figure was wrapped in the night wind, and the long hunting clothes fluttered in the wind.

Seemingly a little anxious, the shadow under the moonlight moved extremely fast.

It is a tall, solid shadow.

It's familiar, it's...reliable.

Si Nan lowered his eyes, only staring at the shadow.

The shadow moved quickly, and walked closer in a few steps.

While walking, he took off the cloak on his shoulders, stretched out his long arms, and wrapped his thin, gray body tightly.

Then, hug her tightly.

Si Nan's nose was sore, and the tears that had been held back with great difficulty squeezed out two drops in vain.

Si Nan pressed his face on his shoulder and quickly rubbed it off.

But it didn't escape Tang Xuan's eyes.

My heart hurts very, very much.

It hurts more than when you practice arrows and get blisters on your hands.

It is more picky than blisters, and it hurts when washed with salt water.

He hugged him tightly, and his deep voice contained endless love: "Don't be afraid."

Don't be afraid, whether it's a rogue or a high-ranking official.

Si Nan sniffed and cried, "I sat outside Donghua Gate for a long time."

"I know."

"I didn't wait for you."

"My fault."

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"To see you."

Today, the Imperial City Division caught Zhao De's handle, but Zhao De received the news in advance and hid in Zhao Xing's mansion. Mu Qing couldn't enter the Tuanlian mansion, so Tang Xuan had to go there himself.

Such a delay is too late.

Only after leaving the Imperial City Division did I know what happened in the palace and what happened to the children.

Whether it's midnight or the ends of the earth, he will come.

"Are you going to fight?" Tang Xuan asked.

"It's not a fight, it's unilateral abuse." Sinan said.

Tang Xuan went with him.

As Dongzao said, Lai and the others were not well. Although there were no obvious injuries on their bodies, they were kicked into the river by the children and turned into drowned rats.

Lai Da is too poor, and the gangsters who follow him are even poorer. They only wear this set of clothes from spring to summer, and in winter they pick up thatch and stuff them into winter clothes.

There is a house, three small houses, originally built of adobe, with a good foundation, but neglected and dilapidated, the walls were dug out by mice, large and small holes, a piece of thatch on the roof is missing in the east and west. Lack of one, it's raining heavily outside, and it's raining lightly inside.

There was not even a bed in the room, let alone other furniture.

When Si Nan and Tang Xuan arrived, they were lying sprawled on the thatched pile and snoring.

A ladle of cold water was poured down, and Lai Da shuddered violently.

"Who? Who poured water on your grandpa!"

Simon poured another ladle.

Lai Da was completely awake. When he saw Si Nan for the first time, he was taken aback. When he saw Tang Xuan for the second time, his legs went limp.

The first reaction was to run away, but Si Nan kicked him down.

As he said, the next step is to beat people unilaterally.

Si Nan didn't move, only moved his mouth.

Tang Xuan didn't even move his mouth, just stood there with a bow on his back.

Several gangsters were divided into two piles and knelt face to face.

Sitting cross-legged on the thatch, Si Nan held a fire stick and patted Lai Da's face, "Think about it again, where is the punch? If you make a mistake, you get one punch, and if you make a mistake twice, you get four punches."

Lai stared, "Shouldn't there be two more punches?"

Si Nan raised his eyebrows, "You have the final say or I have the final say?"

Lai Da Miao was cowardly and muttered: "Dongzao slapped his face, Erdou slapped his ass, Xiaozai is too weak, brothers looked at him pitifully, and didn't do anything." Sinan sneered, "I still have to thank you ?”

Lai grinned, "It's not necessary..."

The fire stick slammed into his hand, and Lai Da trembled with fright, and slapped the gangster across the face.

The gangster was slapped, "Boss, are you hitting me?"

Lai Da looked guilty, "Brother, bear with it, if I don't hit you, King Yan will shoot you with an arrow."

The bastard boy shrank his neck, "F-you should fight."

Sinan raised his jaw, "Where's the butt?"

The gangster was terrified, "I didn't hit the butt a few times!"

Si Nan laughed, "Hit whoever hits you."

The gangster swallowed, "Boss, I'm sorry..."

Immediately afterwards, Boss Lai took two solid blows on his buttocks.

I have the heart to want to die.

Under Sinan's "supervisor", you gangsters slap me, I kick you, you come and go, adding to the injuries suffered by the children.

Sinan remembered it firmly, and didn't miss one thing.

It's not enough to hit lightly, and you will be fined three times for one light blow.

The gangsters fought and slapped each other, and couldn't help getting angry.If you beat me hard, I will return it even harder, beating and cursing, making a fuss.

His face was swollen, his nose was broken, and the dilapidated house was full of blood.

Si Nan took revenge and dragged Tang Xuan out of the dilapidated room, fearing that if he stayed a little longer, these people would toss the house down.

When I went out, I was too lazy to push it, so I kicked the door panel, only to hear a "boom", the rotten door panel slammed on the ground, and there was another "crash", and the door stack also fell down, followed by a "boom", and the people on both sides The walls are down.

The corner of Simon's mouth twitched.

It's just... funny.

What the hell!

To let this kind of person bully his own cub.

When going back, take the path.

The long alley is empty.

The two walked slowly side by side, Tang Xuan was a full head taller than Si Nan.His cloak was still hanging on Sinan's body, its long hem was dragging on the ground, and dusty shadows overlapped.

The two hands touched each other inadvertently, Si Nan paused, and took the initiative to hold them.

The slender fingers clasped Tang Xuan's hand, grabbed it, and shook it, "Treasure the good time now, this is the last time dragging little hands on the street, after today, we will keep our distance."

Tang Xuan frowned.

"Don't rush to get angry." Sinan sighed softly and said, "It's not that I don't have the courage to like you, let alone deny our relationship."

On the contrary, he was eager to tell the world.

However, he kept things simple.He didn't expect that because of his disregard, it would bring harm to the children.

Sinan was in a bad mood throughout the night, but he knew that losing his temper or complaining would not solve any problems, so he tried to communicate with Tang Xuan as easily and honestly as possible.

"If it's just the two of us, even if there are thousands of troops standing in front of us, as long as you don't regret it, I will never back down. But, there are children, do you know what those people say?"

He couldn't say that sentence.

Sinan wished he could crush it, tear it to pieces, and let those gossips swallow every word.

His children don't deserve to be insulted like that.

"It won't be the last time." Tang Xuan said.

He held Sinan's hand instead and held it tightly, "I hold it whenever I want, and hold it wherever I want. Whoever dares to hurt the children again, I will kill him."

Simon: ...

At this moment, the differences in the identities and personalities of the two were clearly in front of them.

The experience from childhood to adulthood has made Si Nan develop a character of round outside and inside inside. He is not at all cowardly when dealing with bad guys, and he will always soften his heart when facing his relatives.

For the people he cares about, he can suppress his personality and make compromises, just like he followed Si's father's advice to study a major he didn't like.

Tang Xuan is different.

Although he grew up without father and mother, he was protected by officials, loved by uncles in the mansion, and loved by childhood playmates such as Zhao Xing, Zhao Zongshi, and Gao Taotao.

The superior growth environment allowed him to develop a resolute, courageous but pure character. In his concept, the world is either black or white, there is no gray, and there is no room for smoothness.

In the face of feelings, he doesn't want to hide or compromise.

If Sinan told him now that he wanted to marry him, he would not hesitate to ask the official for a marriage, no matter whether the official agreed or not, he would marry Sinan, or marry him.

Different from the impulsive brat, Tang Xuan was strong enough, thoughtful enough, and capable enough to bear the consequences of his choices.

Simon didn't want to do that.

Compared with vigor and vitality, he prefers to be steady and down-to-earth.

Si Nanshun coaxed: "Just treat it for me, can it work? Don't let people misunderstand that I am your male favourite."

Tang Xuandao: "Then tell them, I am your male favourite."

Si Nan laughed, "Even if you dare to say it, people have to believe it! If you have anything to do with it, I must be the one who suffers."

Tang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Who doesn't believe it, tell me, and I will make him believe it."

"No matter how powerful your arrow is, it won't be able to seal everyone's mouths." Sinan said in a soft tone, "I'll let you decide on this matter, will it work? At least we'll be ordinary friends in front of outsiders, and we can't move or act. Too close. Anyone who breaks the rules goes home and gets punished."

Tang Xuan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Sinan poked him, "Please say 'yes'."

After a while, Tang Xuan sighed softly: "If this is what you want, then so be it."

Simon: ...

With this disappointed look on his face, why does he look like a scumbag?

"It's just like this outside. When you go back to the small courtyard, you can do whatever you want, okay?"

Tang Xuan's eyes sank slightly, "I want to fuck you, why?"

Simon:! ! !

"Who did you learn from?"

Tang Xuan stared at him, the corners of his lips slightly raised: "Si Xiaonan, have you never known the real me? What do you think I am? A pure little white rabbit?"

Sinan's throat was dry. At this moment, he felt that he was the little white rabbit being targeted by the big bad wolf.

Tang Xuan sent Si Nan home, and when he left the alley, the momentum around him suddenly changed.

He curled his index finger and whistled.

In the dark night, a black horse raised its hooves.

Tang Xuan got on his horse, drew up his heavy bow, and fired three sky-shattering arrows in succession.

The arrow pierced the night sky like a shooting star, exploding with a bang.

In the city of Bianjing, all the old troops of the Tang family's army, those who worked shifts, those who sold vegetables, and those who drank and boasted by the Bian River, instantly changed their appearance and went out together.

18 years.

The young master of the Tang family shot the sky-shaking arrow for the first time.

Tang Xuan ordered: The whole city will be searched and arrested, and anyone who maliciously spreads rumors will not be released.

As for the rumors, needless to say, they have already spread widely.

For a time, the whole city was a sensation.

With Man Tingfang as the center, starting with Bai Ye's maid, one after another was dragged out.

The rumors about Si Nan and Tang Xuan did not spread naturally, but Bai Ye did it deliberately.The servant girl refused to recruit Bai Ye even if she died, so it didn't matter, just arrest her directly.

At that time, Bai Ye was hosting a banquet in the Bailou, when several big men rushed in suddenly, his expression changed suddenly, and he fled through the window.

The men were also unambiguous, and chased after him.

Bai Ye looked like a frail scholar, he didn't expect that his running skills were not bad at all, if it wasn't for Mu Qing and Lin Zhen who just blocked him, they would have let him run away.

Bai Ye and the servant girl were kidnapped to the Imperial City Division, and the rest who were instructed by them to spread malicious gossip were taken to the gate of Xiangguo Temple.

The night market at Xiangguo Temple was bustling, and the common people gathered around.I saw men and women being bound and kneeling on the ground, with a large piece of toilet paper in front of them.

A lot of words were densely written on the paper, and when these people took a look, their faces changed drastically.

Lin Zhenli stood beside him, and raised his voice: "Prince Yanjun has an order, since some people are used to chewing their tongues, then chew enough! These things on the paper are all done by yourself, read it, and don't read until your tongue smokes." stop!"

Those who can read will be read accordingly, and those who are illiterate will be taught.

Among them was a man who looked like a scholar, with a big knife on his neck, and tremblingly read: "On a certain day in a certain year, I stole chicken from my neighbor Zhang San's house, made a pot of soup, and invited my classmates to drink; One day, I passed by Widow Li’s door and watched her take a bath..."

Coincidentally, the neighbors Zhang San and Widow Li were in the crowd. When they heard this, they suddenly remembered these old things, and went up and scolded——

"Okay, let me tell you which one without an ass hole stole my chicken, so it was you! It was left for my old lady to take care of, and you have the guts to steal it?"

"Bah! You are still a scholar, shameless! If you dare to peek at me again, I will marry you into your house!"

The rest were also forced to recall bad things they had done in the past.Like this scholar, people around them recognized them and confirmed them one by one.

Those who have been cheated naturally quit, rushed up and started fighting.The soldiers not only did not stop them, but gave way to them to fight.

The kidnapped people were shocked and frightened.

How did Duke Yan find out about these trivial matters?

Neighbors rushed to tell each other.Many people were about to go to sleep, but when they heard that there was something exciting to watch, they crawled out of their beds excitedly.

In just a short while, the gate of Daxiangguo Temple was completely surrounded.

With his hands behind his back, Tang Xuan watched the excitement downstairs with a blank expression.

Mu Qing rubbed his nose, "Boss, isn't it a bit too much?"

Isn't it just two gossips?

As for taking your own future?

"He cried." Tang Xuan said.

His teenager has always been smiling, this is the first time, seeing him shed tears.

Don't even think about these people.

The common people should be glad that Tang Xuan is not the official son.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty were mostly gentle people. People dared to beat the Dengwen drum when they lost their pigs. Civil servants and military generals were even more outspoken in front of officials.

Under such a social atmosphere, it is rare to kill the whole family and take extreme revenge. If Tang Xuan does this today, he will be drowned in the saliva of the admonisher tomorrow.

He doesn't care.

He just wanted to let everyone in the capital know that if he dared to make his teenagers cry, he would make them cry until they died.Mu Qing curled his lips, "I still think it's the officials who upset Mr. Si Xiaolang, why don't you go to trouble him?"

Tang Xuan glanced at him, turned and went downstairs.

Mu Qing was stunned.

no?really go?

Funing Hall.

After being nagged by the ministers all day, Zhao Zhen finally lay down on the bed and could have a solid sleep.

Just as his consciousness became blurred, he suddenly heard a shrill cat cry, as if a baby was crying.

Zhao Zhen sat up abruptly, "Who is crying?"

The servant hurriedly comforted him: "No one is crying, the cat is howling in spring."

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Drive away, disturb people's dreams."

The servant bowed and said yes, and hurried away.

The palace people moved very quickly, Zhao Zhen listened intently for a while, but did not hear any more movement, then pulled the quilt up again and continued to sleep.

This time I fell asleep leisurely and had a sweet dream.

I was hugging the little princess in my dream, suddenly, the princess in my arms burst into tears, and in a blink of an eye, it was clearly a big wild cat who was hugging no princess!

Zhao Zhen woke up again.

The servants went to chase the cat again.

This time, Zhao Zhen waited for a long time to make sure he was completely quiet before falling asleep.

Woke up again.

Go chase the cat again.

Rao Zhao Zhen has always been good-tempered, and he got angry, "Have all the cats in the palace run to Funing Hall? Why can't they finish?"

The palace people were about to cry.

Who knows, why can't we finish it!

On the high roof ridge, Tang Xuan sat upright with his long legs supported.

There was a big bamboo cage next to it, and there were more than a dozen big fat cats in the cage.

One for a while, one for a while.

Enough to keep overnight.
