【Yan Tea】Brave Adventure Curse Exhaustion

Shen Tu walked on the road.

He walked in the snow on the road, and the thick snow swallowed up the sound of his boots on the asphalt.

The sky is only dark clouds, no light.Withered plants covered in layers of snow, their foliage clinging to the ground.The gates of the residents on the side of the road were closed, and there was no one in sight on the wide road.

In the world, only he is alone moving forward, forward, forward.

Suddenly, a cry came from a distance:

"elder brother!"

Shen Tu looked up and saw his blood brother Axel running over excitedly, his expression became much gentler, and he whispered: "Be careful."

"Hey, it's okay!" Axel touched his head and said proudly, "I've been in Ningxia for a long time, and I won't fall down!"

Axel looked left and right suspiciously, "Where's Brother An Yan? Are you arguing?"

Shen Tu walked forward, "No."

"Didn't brother An Yan always look for his brother, and he didn't come to Ningxia together?"

"...he went ahead."

"So, he might have gone directly to the Nuanxin noodle shop." Aser guessed, "But the shop owner said that he can't stay there... I can't figure it out, as long as you don't quarrel, it's fine."

"You don't hate An Yan?"

"I just don't like his twists and turns, but my brother seems to be in a good mood after partnering with him. I'll bear with him."

The two brothers went to the heart-warming noodle shop. Along the way, Axel told Shen Tu all the things during this period. For example, Shen Tu's younger brother Fengshen Yinde got married. It is said that Axel and Rin went to the Tomb Shou Village and visited the archaeological discoveries in the village...

Shen Tu was in a trance, and had an illusion: It seems that there was a person like this in the long past.The man stayed by his side, always talking tirelessly.

He doesn't hate that person, on the contrary, that person treats him——

Not a family member, but an existence as important as a family member.

Before arriving at Nuanxin Noodle Shop, the severe winter cold is subconsciously fading away. From a distance, you can see the dense plants growing on the outer wall of the shop. The plants are green and green, as if they have suddenly entered spring.

Axel walked away before that.

On the way there, Axel received a call saying that the parents of the two brothers had also arrived in Ningxia and were staying at the airport.Shen Tu expressed that he would pick up the plane, but Axel refused with "My brother came from a long way and needs to rest, I can pick up the plane by myself."

So, Shen Tu is now standing alone in front of Nuanxin noodle shop.

The clear piano sound came, and Shen Tu followed the familiar melody and looked into the courtyard.

The courtyard was filled with tables and chairs, and there was a great deal of voices among the people.

Shen Tu's eyes crossed the sea of ​​people and focused on a person.

The man was sitting in front of the piano. He was wearing a gray windbreaker and had an outstanding figure.Smooth and melodious music slipped from his fingertips.Under the obedient short brown hair, his eyebrows stretched, his eyes closed slightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.

Shen Tu just stared at him and finished listening to the song.

"It's really early, there are still three or four days before Lao Song's birthday."

The biting wind mixed with the smell of smoke, and the woman in a suit walked up to Shen Tu, shook the cigarette in her hand, and said, "He is very proficient in this piece, have you taught him for a long time?"

"...I didn't teach you, Rin-senpai."

"It seems that you have a good relationship." Rin squeezed out the cigarette in his hand, "It's cold, let's talk inside."

After finishing speaking, Rin walked through the crowd of tables and chairs in the front yard and entered the house.Shen Tu paused, scanned the circle of people in the courtyard, and then followed into the house.

The whole room was dim, with no electric lights, only old candles lit in the corridors.Shen Tu walked up the stairs, the window at the corner was shining with firelight, casting a white and miserable light that dazzled his eyes.

He looked towards the window subconsciously, and saw An Yan talking with a person circled in the broken frost flowers.

Rin followed his gaze, "It's Su You."

"Su You?"

"I'm not very clear. I heard that he is a good old man who will not refuse other people's requests. His name is Su You. He came this time and said he was going to give the shopkeeper a ride."

Shen Tu frowned.

"It's not the jargon of your way." Rin's smile faded, "There were originally two owners of this heart-warming noodle shop, but unfortunately one of them left five years ago. The remaining one entrusted the shop to Song Yi, and he was about to Go on a long journey."

The two continued to walk up and entered the room facing south on the second floor.Lin took the door open, and after Shentu walked in, he called out to the room, "I'll go out and blow some air!" and went downstairs again.

A set of wooden tables and chairs is placed by the window, and the large window glass is covered with cold white frost.There was a carved long box on the table, Song Yi was sitting by the table, a cup of tea was placed in front of him, and a cup was placed opposite the wooden table.

"The tea is warm, warm your body."

Shen Tu walked over according to the words, and before he could sit down, a scent of tea wafted into his heart.When he sat on the chair and drank the cup of tea, his restless heart had settled down.

"How about this tea?"

"Good tea."

"In the past month, you have changed a lot." Song Yi looked towards the window, and the frost reflected in his eyes, dyeing his dark eyes as gray as his beard and hair.He slowly said: "Your practice is getting better and better, as if you have learned it a long time ago. But this is not a good thing. Kui Dao's lineage really emphasizes killing evil spirits. However, practice is for cultivating the mind."

Shen Tu turned the teacup in his hand, the tea stalk floated up and down in the tea, and fell back to the bottom of the cup as soon as it touched the water surface.

"Your heart is restless." Song Yi asked: "Is it related to An Yan?"

"……Yes."

"Going to Rishang Mountain is also because you want to solve this matter?"

"I've been restless recently, and it's about An Yan, and it's also about... Jingzhe." Confusion clearly appeared on Shen Tu's face, "The bits and pieces of memory in Jingzhe make me not know how to face An Yan."

"You were planning to withdraw from Kui Dao, but you suddenly partnered with An Yan to continue practicing. Could it be that even you don't know your own heart..."

Shen Tu nodded hesitantly, "When An Yan is by my side, I will be upset. But when he is not by my side, I will be restless again."

"Jingzhe has the name of a divine tool, but it is man-made after all. The memory it retains is even more obsession. Obsession is also said to be a demon. It is because you can't get what you want, and you can't let it go. From this, love, worry and fear are born." Song Yi Seeing that Shen Tu was a little shaken, he continued: "In a hundred years of life, you get too little and you can't get too much. Instead of being persistent, it's better to let go of the past and cherish the present."

Shen Tu's eyes dimmed, and he turned his gaze to see the brown-haired man through the glass.That person's smile was as gentle as before, but through the glass, this smile always seemed a little distorted.

He suppressed the emotion in his eyes, put down his teacup, "I will explain it to him."

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't say more." Song Yi opened the long box at hand, and the faint blue light in the box scattered across the room, "It was entrusted by an old friend, and I will hand it over to you that day."

"Chamber, I can't use it."

Song Yi pushed the long box to the opposite side of the wooden table, facing Shen Tu, "This belongs to you."

Shen Tu looked at the long box, and there was a transparent sword shadow in the shape of Jingzhe lying in the box.

He stretched out his hand and touched the sword shadow that shone with blue light.

In an instant, the blue light in his eyes flashed and then disappeared.The look of distress in his eyes suddenly disappeared, and he returned to his former firmness and indifference.

He asked Song Yi to resign, said "thank you" and left quickly.

Song Yi continued a cup of tea, and said slowly: "It seems that he made the same choice as Fengshen."

Shen Tu hurried downstairs all the way, disturbing the flickering of the candle in the stairwell.He went down to the corner, glanced over the window, and saw that the opposite side of Su You was empty.

When Shen Tu arrived downstairs, An Yan was nowhere to be found.His gaze swept across the courtyard, and he saw a group of people gathered at the door, forming a circle layer upon layer.

Someone greeted:

"Help me, someone here has passed out!"

Shocked, Shen Tu walked to the wall, kicked and jumped, and fell onto the wall.That slightly messy movement brought up the snow on the wall, and when he landed, the snow splashed on his shoulders and neck.

Residual snow accumulated on his shoulders and neck, and part of the melted snow dripped down his black leather jacket, falling into the snow drop by drop.

Shen Tu looked straight at the door.

There was a shocking bloodstain on the chest of someone at the door, that person was completely unconscious, and it was thanks to Su You's support that he didn't fall down.The unconscious man was covered with a gray windbreaker. When the wind blows, the gray windbreaker slipped off the man and fell into the snow.

Shen Tu's heart suddenly turned cold, and her blue eyes locked the door tightly.

Su You squatted down, carried the man on her back, got up and walked out.Shen Tu just watched like that, unable to move an inch.As the man disappeared from sight bit by bit, Shen Tu's breathing gradually weakened.

The belated sun pierced through the clouds and shone on him, making him feel dazzling and too hot.

The cold wind suddenly picked up, rolling up fine pieces of white snow in the air, he stubbornly stared straight ahead, but there was only a hole in those blue eyes, and there was no color reflected in the gray-blue.

Crowds gather and disperse, wind and snow come and go, and dark clouds finally lock up a little bit of sunshine, leaving the world in darkness.

Shen Tu stood in the darkness, on the dark gray snow.

His face seemed to want to cry but he was holding back, barely maintaining a cold and indifferent appearance.

The guests in the courtyard dispersed and returned home, only Shentu was left here.

At this moment, a footstep sounded clearly.

"You look sad..."

Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him, he turned around and looked behind him.

At this time, the warm sun broke through the clouds and mist, and the golden sky light flowed out.When these golden awns fell on the snow, the hazy yellow light became warm and intoxicating.

An Yan was bathed in the sun, and his light brown sweater was shining under the light.He walked in front of Shen Tu, brushed off the crushed snow on the latter's fur coat naturally, and covered the latter's pale cheeks with his hands.

He says:

"...Is there something you can't find?"

Shen Tu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled.Then, he smiled and shook his head.

Past and present lives, against the current for ten years.I finally found you in endless years.

Since then, the ends of the earth, the blue sky and the yellow spring.

with you.
