[Cui Xiao] poisonous sting
Chapter 40... A-Qing is completely regarded by Cui Yang as one of her own.
But at this moment, A-Qing only had fear and anger in her heart. Even before, she was just on guard—she never knew about it, and she didn't want to know about it in the past.
☆、The second of deception
The next morning.
A-Qing stared sullenly at the table in a daze.
Cui Yang sat beside her, his head propped up, wondering what he was thinking.
Anyone who looked at it would feel that the atmosphere in this room was really dull, even if Xiao Xingchen couldn't see it, he would be a little surprised.
He brought porridge and put it in front of the two of them, and said strangely: "You guys are really quiet today."
"Really?" Cui Yang replied innocently, "Aren't you going shopping today? So I have to go shopping again?"
Xiao Xingchen remembered, and asked, "A-Qing, are you still sad about what happened yesterday?"
"...No." A-Qing replied, but sniffled after speaking.
Xiao Xingchen reached out to touch her head, and comforted her: "Don't worry too much about it, it might be unintentional to say that, so don't take it to heart."
A-Qing shook her head, and answered honestly, "Yes."
Xiao Xingchen said, "Then let's eat, you didn't eat anything last night."
A-Qing reluctantly drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, as if she finally couldn't take it anymore, she gave Cui Yang a hard look.
From just now, Cui Yang has been looking at her with a strange look, which made her feel uncomfortable, but A-Qing dared not speak out.This time I was forced to rush.
——For example, if a rabbit is cornered, it will bite people.
Cui Yang still spread his hands innocently, neither angry nor speaking.
But Xiao Xingchen couldn't see the undercurrent between the two of them, he only heard their wooden bowls being picked up and put down, and asked, "Did you quarrel?"
"No." Cui Yang replied naturally, turning the spoon along the bowl once and for all.
A-Qing suddenly raised her head and said, "Let's go shopping together."
Xiao Xingchen replied: "Okay, I'll go after dinner, I promise you."
A-Qing bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "No, I mean, the three of us go together."
Cui Yang exaggerated: "Oh, I am really flattered that you are willing to let me follow."
"Don't make trouble." Xiao Xingchen reprimanded slightly, and Cui Yang responded with a playful smile, and then he continued, "That's fine, after all, anyway... I can't see. But you can't tease A-Qing anymore. "
Cui Yang smiled and replied, "I went to play with you too, who buys vegetables."
Xiao Xingchen said: "It's good to go together when we come back."
"Okay." Cui Yang replied.
A-Qing glanced at him in surprise, she could tell that Cui Yang was in the right mood, but she didn't understand what Cui Yang was happy about.
Noticing her gaze, Cui Yang also looked over and smiled.Obviously until yesterday Cui Yang thought she was blind, but he got used to the fact that she could see so quickly.
That smile, A-Qing only felt...it was exactly the same as the one she saw when she woke up from the nightmare last night.
She quickly lowered her head.
Cui Yang quickly finished his porridge, packed up the dishes and left, still humming a little tune.
After Cui Yang left, Xiao Xingchen suddenly called her, "A-Qing."
A-Qing was startled, she just felt that this situation seemed familiar, and then she came to her senses, the person in front of her was the Taoist priest, not the bad guy who killed people without batting an eyelid.
She shook her head and pretended to answer lightly: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xingchen didn't notice her abnormality, and said, "A-Qing, he really wants to get along with you very much."
he?
It took A-Qing a while to figure out who Xiao Xingchen was talking about.
How could it be... that sinister, cold-blooded bad guy.She slandered in her heart.
Xiao Xingchen continued: "Don't show him face all the time. If he doesn't say anything, he will definitely feel uncomfortable. Isn't it good to be like today?"
A-Qing's mood was complicated, she just felt that a ball of wire was choking her throat, and it was extremely difficult to speak, so she said after a long time, "He...he always laughs at me, saying that I..."
"What did you say?"
After washing the dishes, Cui Yang opened the door and came in, asking casually.
A-Qing was about to explain, but Xiao Xingchen said first, "It's nothing."
"Oh..." Cui Yang replied, walking towards Xiao Xingchen suddenly on a whim.
A-Qing's heart almost jumped into her throat, what did he want to do, what did he want to do!Should I yell to be careful?
As if knowing that she was nervous, Cui Yang stood in front of Xiao Xingchen, turned around and smiled at A-Qing.
Then he leaned down, and gently kissed Xiao Xingchen's cheek.
As if he wasn't worried about being discovered at all, he just kissed him so unabashedly——
A-Qing blinked.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xingchen asked, and reached out to touch the place where Cui Yang had kissed.
Cui Yang replied, "You got porridge on your face, wipe it off for you."
Xiao Xingchen didn't think there was anything wrong, nodded and said, "Thank you."
Cui Yang thanked him without shame and said, "It's fine."
A-Qing watched from the sidelines, feeling suffocated, and followed Cui Yang when he was going to get his things, waving his arms as if to hit him, cursing in a low voice: "You bastard, you bullied the Taoist priest again, You're not saying you'll never do something like this again—"
She was a teenager and a girl, she was malnourished and was thin and petite, and she hadn't cultivated immortality. After being beaten by A-Qing a few times, Cui Yang didn't feel any pain or itching at all, and let her get angry for a while. Only then gently pressed A-Qing's arm, and said softly, "Don't be so loud. Did I bully him? Why do you think I bullied him?"
A-Qing couldn't say it, her eyes were blushing, and she just said, "You——you're shameless! You bully him so he can't see it!"
"I'm just shameless," Cui Yang smiled triumphantly, "Why are you complaining? I didn't do anything serious. Even if he found out, he just scolded me. What's the fuss? Are you serious? If you think I'm bullying him, then I'll go and tell Xiao Xingchen that I just kissed—"
In the middle of Cui Yang's words, A-Qing hastily covered his mouth with her tiptoes, as if she was afraid that Xiao Xingchen would hear what he said.
She rolled her white eyes without pupils, making sure that Xiao Xingchen was still outside, then let go of her hand, and said viciously, "No nonsense!"
Cui Yang grabbed her with his backhand. A-Qing was startled and was about to struggle in a hurry. Cui Yang took advantage of the situation and let go of her hand, made a booing gesture, and said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, either."
A-Qing couldn't stand upright for a moment, took two steps back, and snorted angrily.
After a while, they went out together.
A-Qing walked away from Cui Yang.
She originally thought that Cui Yang would definitely not let her and Xiao Xingchen go out alone, since she had no chance to tell the Taoist priest anyway, and she hadn't thought of a reasoning yet, so it would be better to let Cui Yang go out with him than to know him. It will definitely be more comfortable to watch in the dark.
But it was really awkward for the three of them to go out together.
Suddenly she heard Xiao Xingchen calling her, "A-Qing, where are you?"
Only then did she realize that she was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she forgot to tap the bamboo pole to walk, so she quickly mended it a few times and said, "I'm here, I haven't lost it."
Cui Yang smiled startled: "Can you lose it?"
Xiao Xingchen said earnestly, "There are so many people, they'll get separated if they don't know what to say, A-Qing, come closer."
"What are you afraid of, I'll just lead you guys by the hand." Cui Yang said this, he really held the hands of A-Qing and Xiao Xingchen, and walked among them.
Xiao Xingchen said, "Alright."
A-Qing subconsciously wanted to earn money, so Cui Yang let her earn it, and when she got tired, he pulled her over again, without letting Xiao Xingchen on the other side notice at all.
They were arguing with each other, and after a while, Xiao Xingchen said again: "A-Qing, I remember there is a hairpin shop nearby, but I can't remember where it is, do you want to go and have a look?"
Cui Yang took his words and said, "I saw it, it's over there, go and have a look."
But Xiao Xingchen stopped, turned sideways and squatted in front of A-Qing, and said worriedly, "Are you still unhappy?"
"...Not really." A-Qing didn't look at her face.Although she knew Xiao Xingchen couldn't see, she still had no face to look directly at Xiao Xingchen.
"Then why didn't you say a word?" Xiao Xingchen asked, "Did you really quarrel yesterday? Did he laugh at you too? Don't worry, I'm here, he won't laugh at you again."
Cui Yang defended himself dissatisfied: "I really didn't laugh at her."
Xiao Xingchen turned around.
Although his brows and eyes were covered with bandages, Cui Yang still felt that he was stared at, and he said weakly: "Okay, okay, whatever you say, it's all my fault."
"Let's go, let's go..." A-Qing tugged at Xiao Xingchen's sleeve, not wanting to continue this topic.
The three of them walked into the store. The clerk saw that two of the three were blind and their clothes were poor, so he stopped the footsteps that he wanted to meet, with a look of disgust on his face.The man's gaze stayed on Cui Yang's face for a while longer, as if he wanted to see whether the remaining one might also be blind.
A-Qing suddenly remembered the first time she secretly followed Cui Yang and Xiao Xingchen, watching them hunt at night——
The "walking corpse" who was killed was also the one who had laughed at them before.
"Song Lan cut me with a sword, and I killed him. It's a matter of course for me." What Cui Yang said last night came out of her head.
A-Qing suddenly felt a coolness behind her, and hurriedly grabbed Cui Yang.
Cui Yang didn't know if he understood what she meant, so he shrugged innocently.
Xiao Xingchen asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
"I..." A-Qing stammered, "I've never been in this kind of store. Are there... a lot of things in the store? I'm afraid they might be knocked over."
Cui Yang raised his eyebrows, took A-Qing's hand that was holding onto his clothes, and said openly, "If you knock it over, just pick it up, what's the big deal?"
After speaking, he took down a hairpin from the shelf, and said, "Do you like hairpins with carvings, or hairpins with pendants? I think this one looks pretty."
What he was holding was a red lacquered hairpin, which looked simple at first glance, but was exquisitely carved.While talking, he also pulled A-Qing to the mirror, pulled up her hair, and inserted the hairpin between A-Qing's black hair, letting her look at herself in the mirror, but said in his mouth, "Touch and see." This shape?"
"...Just by touching, how can you tell if it's good or bad." Looking at the mirror, A-Qing said in a muffled voice.
Cui Yang said: "Then I will read it for you. If I say it looks good, it means it looks good. I think this is pretty good."
A-Qing snorted, "You can see it."
Cui Yang continued: "How about I tie up your hair for you?"
A-Qing was surprised, looked at Cui Yang who was half-bent in the mirror, and felt that what he said was kind of flattering.She waved away that strange feeling, and said, "If you want to know how to make a deal, then do it."
Cui Yang smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not very good at it. I'll try."
Xiao Xingchen stood quietly at the side, listening to their conversation.Listening to A-Qing's complaints from time to time, Cui Yang responded with a few witty words exaggeratedly.After the dish was distributed, Cui Yang went to pay the money, and then he held A-Qing's hand.
"Does it look good, Daozhang?" A-Qing asked.
He replied: "I can't see it, but it should look good."
Cui Yang came over and said, "Don't touch it all the time, I can't help it if it falls."
A-Qing pissed twice in dissatisfaction, and said, "If it falls, it means you didn't play well."
It was already past noon when they returned to Yizhuang after buying rouge and vegetables.
Cui Yang sneaked into the kitchen with the vegetables, leaving A-Qing and Xiao Xingchen outside.
A-Qing was a little surprised, and said, "Why did he run off to cook by himself?"
Xiao Xingchen replied: "He said it on the way, don't you remember?"
A-Qing remained silent.
What surprised her was not who was going to cook, but that Cui Yang actually left her with Xiao Xingchen, so he wasn't afraid that she would say something?
Or is Cui Yang listening to what's going on next door?
"Prince Daoist." A-Qing pushed Xiao Xingchen, "Go and watch him, the food that guy cooks is edible? Who knows what kind of mess he will cook."
Xiao Xingchen couldn't help but stood up, saying, "You don't have to say that to him, he can still cook a meal. But you've said it all, so I'll help. Wait, the meal will be ready in a while. "
A-Qing nodded, "Yeah."
After Xiao Xingchen left, A-Qing lowered his eyes and let himself sigh.
☆、Threat of cheating
It was time to go grocery shopping the next day, and just as Xiao Xingchen was about to go out, Cui Yang followed.
"Let me go together." Cui Yang said affectionately.
Xiao Xingchen smiled: "Don't you always hate going out to buy groceries?"
Cui Yang pretended to be surprised and replied: "I don't hate it, I think it's pretty good, I like staying with you."
The word "like" was very natural, Xiao Xingchen didn't realize it for a while, and then suddenly smiled after a long while.A-Qing didn't hear these two words, otherwise she would definitely have goose bumps all over her body.
After that day, almost wherever Xiao Xingchen went, Cui Yang followed.
Xiao Xingchen noticed it, and said, "Why are you so clingy all of a sudden, you're not a kid anymore."
Cui Yang replied sweetly: "Compared to you, I'm just a child, let me be a little bit, brother."
Xiao Xingchen was helpless, but he didn't chase him away either.
A-Qing naturally saw it all.Xiao Xingchen didn't know why, but she knew that Cui Yang was just in case, so that she wouldn't have a chance to tell Xiao Xingchen about the previous things to be at ease.
One day when they came back from a night hunt, A-Qing saw that Xiao Xingchen was injured.
She immediately glared at Cui Yang angrily, but Cui Yang ignored him and helped Xiao Xingchen into the room to treat the wound.Xiao Xingchen couldn't even see her silent warning, and thanked Cui Yang at the same time.
Cui Yang came out quickly, and said darkly: "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, this matter has nothing to do with me."
He dared to talk to A-Qing just next to Xiao Xingchen's bedroom with only one wall separated. "fraud!"
Cui Yang pulled the chair over and sat down as if suppressing his anger. It took a long time before he said: "He was injured by a ghost tonight, and his yang energy was damaged. Now he needs to rest. I let him sleep well for his own good."
A-Qing couldn't say anything to refute, but instinctively felt that Cui Yang had no good intentions, so she just found a chair and sat down, hugged her legs, and stared at him like a weasel.
"...I didn't protect him well. It was my fault. I apologize to you." Cui Yang suddenly whispered, his voice so soft that he could barely hear it.
A-Qing thought she had heard wrong.
Cui Yang turned his face away unnaturally, and said, "There will be no next time, and I will protect him no matter what I say in the future, is that okay?"
"Who would believe you!" A-Qing retorted instinctively.
Cui Yang frowned.
Then she screamed in her heart that it was not good.
Cui Yang suddenly changed the subject: "That's right."
"What?" A-Qing asked bluffing, trying to hide the fear in her heart.
"Song Lan, I buried the other Taoist priest you met before." Cui Yang's tone was light, but the content made A-Qing's heart tighten, "In the cemetery outside the city, even the sword was buried. , and set up a tombstone, but I can't engrave Song Lan's name on it, you know, I'm afraid that if he goes to the cemetery, if he touches that tombstone..."
They all knew who the "he" Cui Yang was referring to was.
Cui Yang went on to say: "If you feel dissatisfied, I will burn paper money for him as a sacrifice every year and festival."
A-Qing suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said, "You said you were buried? Who knows if you were really buried..."
Cui Yang began to get a little impatient: "Then what do you think I want? You still have to go to see the tomb, and then ask me to dig out the coffin in the tomb and open it for you to see? Such a scourge cannot stay in the world no matter what, so I went to complain to Xiao Xingchen, what should I do?"
A-Qing was speechless.
Cui Yang snorted coldly, and stood up after speaking: "You want to see, that's good, go now, I'll dig out his body and show you."
Fearful and startled, A-Qing grabbed Cui Yang and said, "...No need!"
Cui Yang looked at her, she unconsciously let go of her hand under this gaze, Cui Yang said nonchalantly: "It's best not to use it, to save trouble."
After recovering, A-Qing found that her back was drenched in cold sweat.
In the next few months, A-Qing realized that Cui Yang was once, and Xiao Xingchen didn't let Xiao Xingchen and her have a chance to talk alone.
In the first few days, she still thought desperately, really don't tell the Taoist priest, is there any way to get the best of both worlds, so that the Taoist priest can stay away from Cui Yang without knowing the truth.
But she couldn't figure it out.
Sometimes she feels that this statement is almost the same, and she will think of Cui Yang's words, saying that Xiao Xingchen will definitely question him...
Yes, no matter how you think about it, you will fall into this dead end.
She even hated Xiao Xingchen a little bit, why is he such a good person, don't worry about anything else, as long as he runs far away and he's fine, won't he?
But she soon understood that even if she really came up with a perfect excuse, she couldn't tell Xiao Xingchen.
As early as Cui Yang found out that she was not blind and knew his secret, she never had the chance to speak again.
Watching Xiao Xingchen get along with Cui Yang ignorantly, from time to time, A-Qing would feel pain in her heart, as if being crushed.
In the summer of the second year, a disease suddenly broke out in Yicheng.
A-Qing glared at Cui Yang again without thinking, and Cui Yang also stared back, taking advantage of Xiao Xingchen's absence, he said dissatisfiedly, "Blame me again? Blame me for everything? Do you have proof?"
She had no choice but to remain silent angrily.
The weather in Yicheng is already humid, and all diseases spread quickly. After half a month, when you walk around the streets, there are already coughing patients everywhere.
Xiao Xingchen was also a little worried, and said, "Is this disease a bit too vicious, I don't know if it's different?"
Cui Yang said: "This kind of place, it's inevitable, Feng Shui is not good."
Xiao Xingchen still couldn't let go.
Seeing this, A-Qing cleared her throat and said, "Why don't we go to another place for shelter?"
Xiao Xingchen replied: "There is a plague in Yicheng. People from other places know that we are from here, so they probably won't take us in. Just be careful, and we should be fine. Besides, the epidemic is raging, and many patients and people die. There is a lot of yin here, even if there is nothing wrong with the disease itself, accidents will inevitably happen, I might be able to help something by staying here."
After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "We cultivators are not prone to contract these diseases, but you are different, A-Qing, why don't you let him take you outside the city to escape, just the two of you , it’s better to act, I’m like this, it’s somewhat suspicious.”
After speaking, he reluctantly touched the loose bandages on his eyes.
A-Qing said in her heart that compared to you, that bad guy is obviously much more suspicious, and said, "The Taoist priest won't leave, and I won't leave either, and I'll stay too."
But things backfired.
A-Qing obediently obeyed Xiao Xingchen's instructions and stayed in the cemetery, looking at the situation on the street through the window with a little anxiety from time to time, but was distracted by the weak eyes of the sick.Tired and bored, but she couldn't go out, so she simply ran back into her coffin, thinking that if she slept until dawn, maybe if she could bear it, everything would be fine in a few days?
Although she knew it was naive, she had nothing else to do.
But the next day, just the next day, when she woke up in the morning, she felt that her head was so heavy that she couldn't stand up.
With a itchy throat, A-Qing coughed, but couldn't relieve the itching, coughed again, and spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, suddenly dizzy.
Seeing Cui Yang walking towards here, she suddenly lowered her head again and was stunned.
Huh... is that blood?
Before falling to the ground, A-Qing thought vaguely.
"...she has a fever, very bad."
"When I went to call her, I saw that she couldn't stand still and fell to the ground."
"How come... She was fine yesterday, she stayed at home all day, she shouldn't be sick..."
"...The water basin is here. You take care of her and change her towels, otherwise I'm afraid she will burn too badly."
"Okay. Please go grab some medicine."
"There are patients everywhere now... I don't know if I can buy medicine. If not, I'll bring you some food and then go out of town."
"...Okay. Be careful, too."
At some point, A-Qing woke up and listened to their conversation.
She could hear every word clearly, but she just couldn't open her eyes.
When she finally heard Cui Yang close the door and leave, she felt relieved.
Strange - why should she worry.
Xiao Xingchen changed the towels for him countless times before she heard Cui Yang came back, and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen while saying "I'm going to decoct the medicine".
Strange - what is he nervous about.
Thinking about it, she slowly lost consciousness again, coughing from time to time in the dream, her throat was really uncomfortable and tight, coughing too much, even breathing became uncomfortable, she felt that she was about to die, but finally woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, A-Qing saw Xiao Xingchen guarding her side.
A-Qing called out, "...the Daoist."
Her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't recognize it herself, and when she opened her mouth, her throat felt like she had swallowed a thousand needles.
Xiao Xingchen immediately held her hand, and replied, "I'm here." Then he softly called to the other room, "A-Qing is awake".
"Wait for me." Over there, Cui Yang's voice responded.
Xiao Xingchen turned around, trying to comfort A-Qing, but A-Qing suddenly asked, "Did...that guy buy the medicine?"
Xiao Xingchen didn't know why, so he just replied, "Yes."
"It's nothing, it's just that when I heard you talking, I thought it was a dream." A-Qing added a few words, not wanting Xiao Xingchen to mind.
But after talking too much, she couldn't help coughing again.
Xiao Xingchen quickly patted her on the back to comfort her.
After finally calming down, A-Qing asked again, "That's right, did he cook the medicine?"
The voice became softer.
Without waiting for Xiao Xingchen to reply, she continued, "Master Daoist, I may be dying soon, I don't want to take medicine."
Xiao Xingchen scowled, and scolded, "What are you talking about—"
At this time, Cui Yang was walking from the kitchen with a medicine bowl in both hands, and he didn't know if he heard it, but he just glanced at A-Qing, and then pretended nothing had happened, and said to Xiao Xingchen in a low voice, "Help me." She sits up."
Finally, he put the medicine bowl on the table and added: "The medicine is hot and bitter. I'll get some sugar."
Although Xiao Xingchen couldn't see, he still couldn't help looking worriedly in the direction Cui Yang left.
"A-Qing." He stroked A-Qing's hair and said softly, "It's okay, can you drink the medicine? It's not bitter."
A-Qing just shook her head.
Xiao Xingchen continued: "You will be fine, you won't die, our A-Qing has always been so healthy, right?"
A-Qing shook her head even harder.
"I'll tell her." At some point, Cui Yang stood behind Xiao Xingchen.he said coldly.
—Don't make me stay with him.
A-Qing's hands clenched the quilt tightly.
But Xiao Xingchen couldn't hear the voice in her heart no matter what.
Xiao Xingchen stood up obediently, gave up his position to Cui Yang, and said, "Don't attack her."
"With her like this, can't she teach me a few words? She doesn't want to drink medicine, so she's not a child anymore." Cui Yang said angrily.
Xiao Xingchen frowned, and said sharply, "Don't be aggressive with her."
Cui Yang stared at Xiao Xingchen reluctantly, but after only a moment, he was defeated and said submissively, "Yes... I understand. I will talk to her properly."
After hearing this, Xiao Xingchen nodded, and then left the room straight away.
—Don't make me stay with him...
A-Qing pursed her lips, only to feel that her eye sockets suddenly became hot.
Cui Yang sat down beside A-Qing's bed, tested the temperature of the bowl of medicine, and then said softly to her, "Who are you playing with because you insist on not taking the medicine?"
A-Qing said, "I don't want to die."
His tone was also cold.
Because she didn't want to cry at this moment.
Cui Yang sighed, "Take your medicine well, you're just sick, you won't die."
"You? You said that to me?"
A-Qing kept her voice low, afraid that Xiao Xingchen over there would hear her, but she didn't hide the sarcasm in her words at all.
Cui Yang was silent.
He was holding the bowl of medicine, and it didn't seem right to put it down, and it didn't make sense to continue holding it like this.
Did he fry that bowl of medicine for a long time——A-Qing suddenly thought inexplicably.
For the first time, she felt that Cui Yang was a little... helpless.
After a while, Cui Yang said in a voice that was too soft to hear, as if talking to himself, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do anything."
A-Qing closed her eyes.
...Looking at the person in front of her again, she will, can't help but believe what he said.
"Drink it while the medicine is warm, don't make him worry."
In the darkness, she heard Cui Yang's voice.
She swallowed the almost choked feeling in her throat, and answered silently: "Okay."
The author has something to say: Is it Cui Yang's?or not?
The first story: deception, over.
The next chapter begins with the second story: the poisonous sting.
☆ One of the poisonous stings
The author has something to say: The second story: the poisonous sting
As long as Song Lan didn't die and Cui Yang didn't play too hard, Xiao Xingchen would probably protect him.
Half of it is because Xiao Xingchen is a good person.
A-Qing suddenly slowed down while running, and she saw Cui Yang in front of her, carrying a vegetable basket on the way home.
She found a bush to hide herself, but felt her heart beating non-stop.
Is she doing something wrong? !That Taoist leader had a grudge against bad things just now?
Then when they met, they really started fighting, what if they had to fight to the death?
Just as she was thinking, A-Qing heard Song Lan's cold voice: "Cui Yang."
A-Qing looked through the gaps in the branches, and saw that Cui Yang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and just as he replied, Song Lan immediately raised his sword and stabbed at him, Cui Yang actually drew out his sword to block—— This was the first time she had seen Cui Yang draw a sword. In the past, she thought that only Taoist priests carried swords, and Cui Yang was just a half-assed person who didn't have his own sword.
Bah, bah, bah, not the time to think about this!
This must be a deep hatred!
It's over, it's over, it's over, you have to tell the Taoist priest!
A-Qing had just taken a step in the bushes when she suddenly thought that both of them were immortal cultivators. If she stood up and walked like this, she would definitely find that her hands and feet felt as if they were frozen, and her heart would feel cold. of.
Just for a moment, she saw Song Lan thrust out a sword, Cui Yang couldn't block it, and his arm was pierced severely.
It hurts!Just looking at A-Qing made her arms ache.
That bad thing obviously couldn't beat the other Daoist leader!
If this continues, I'm afraid she won't be able to seize the opportunity to go back and call the Taoist priest over!
A-Qing was anxious, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly shouted: "Help!!! Kill people!!!!"
She jumped out of the bushes and ran in the direction of Yizhuang, dancing and shouting "Killer!" for fear that no one would hear or watch.There is not much popularity in Yicheng, but it is not so deserted that no one dares to control the murder and arson on the street.
The two people who were fighting were stunned for a moment, then Cui Yang suddenly smiled.
Song Lan didn't notice.
Cui Yang didn't wait for him to think, and swung his sword away again.Although Song Lan was stunned for a moment, he was not slow at all when he drew the sword. On the contrary, when the sword was pulled away, the injury on Cui Yang's arm was even worse, and his hand lost all strength for a while.
"Don't change your mind." Song Lan said coldly, "Say! What are you planning by his side!"
Cui Yang was not moved by it at all, and said with a smile: "Song Daochang is really a close friend, even Xue was moved."
Song Lan's sword pierced Cui Yang's neck with the wind of the sword, but he dodged it sideways. He swung his backhand again, and the sword edge left a line of blood on Cui Yang's neck. He said, "Don't you think you don't know?" Say, I won't kill you? For me, it doesn't matter if I kill you directly. "
"Really, I'm really scared." Cui Yang smiled without half sincerity.
Even though Song Lan's sword was already around his neck, he didn't seem to know pain or fear at all.
When A-Qing pulled Xiao Xingchen back, there was already a circle of people discussing, and the noise made her head hurt. She yelled, "Get out of the way, get out of the way", and dragged Xiao Xingchen desperately. Xiao Xingchen slid into the middle of the crowd.But soon, Xiao Xingchen walked in front of her, and she saw that Xiao Xingchen had already put his hand on Shuanghua.
"A-Qing, you stay here." Xiao Xingchen confessed without looking back, and let go of A-Qing's hand.
A-Qing was a little lost in the crowd by herself for a while, and after trying to squeeze for a while, she finally saw the two people in the middle of the crowd.
Song Lan was pulling the sword out of Cui Yang's belly, but Cui Yang let out a muffled grunt and fell to his knees powerlessly.
Song Lan raised his sword again.
next sword,
must,
would kill him.
——A-Qing's heartbeat almost stopped.
But before that, Xiao Xingchen blocked the sword with Shuanghua.Standing in front of Cui Yang without hesitation, in order to protect him.
With a clang——
That sword must have been very heavy, but Xiao Xingchen blocked it. When blocking the sword, his hands didn't tremble at all.
But after blocking the sword, his eyes widened in surprise, as if he couldn't even hold the sword, he slowly lowered his hand.
"Zichen... yes, is it... Daozhang Song?" Xiao Xingchen asked gently and carefully.It seems that the person in front of him is a phantom, and if the voice is louder, it will disperse.
Song Lan also felt as if struck by lightning, she opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't say anything.
A-Qing didn't understand the situation, but suddenly shrank back into the crowd—she remembered that the other Taoist priest wouldn't let her tell Xiao Xingchen.Shouldn't he be venting his anger on her?Xiao Xingchen will protect her, right?
But Song Lan didn't think about A-Qing at all, she just stared blankly at Xiao Xingchen in front of her.
"Daoist Song—" Xiao Xingchen seemed to want to ask something.
But Cui Yang behind him suddenly coughed.
Xiao Xingchen became anxious for a moment, turned around and helped Cui Yang up, wanted to confirm his injury, but didn't dare to touch him casually, so he could only ask in a low voice with concern: "Are you injured? Is it serious?"
Looking at this scene, Song Lan was more shocked than angry, and didn't know how to react.
...so much so that he didn't even think about why Cui Yang, who just kept silent no matter how injured he was, suddenly coughed now.
Cui Yang didn't speak, or in other words, he looked speechless, and although he seemed desperately trying to speak, he couldn't stop coughing.At the end, he groaned in pain and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Xingchen became even more anxious, put down his sword and ran along his back, and said in a deep voice, "This man is my friend, if he offends you in any way, please forgive me, Daoist Song... Dust, make amends on your behalf."
The two stood still.
It wasn't until Cui Yang finally couldn't hold on anymore and passed out that Song Lan said, "...he's Cui Yang."
They went back to Yizhuang together.
A-Qing still couldn't understand the situation.He wanted to find an opportunity to ask Xiao Xingchen, but he didn't dare to show his face in front of the three of them.Besides, she also felt that this was not a question for her to ask.
Xiao Xingchen didn't forget her, and called her after picking up Cui Yang.
...A-Qing walked out of the crowd obediently, and then slid up to Xiao Xingchen's side, staying far away from Song Lan, and tried her best to hide herself beside Xiao Xingchen, not wanting Song Lan to see her.
The closer you get, the smell of rust fills your nose.
The bad guy really shed a lot of blood, staining Xiao Xingchen's Taoist robe into a miserable look, not to mention himself.Could it be that he died before he went back....
They didn't speak all the way.
A-Qing couldn't help thinking, could it be that the Daoist priest and him were also enemies?Then she made a big mistake!
Although she had an intuition that that person should be as good a person as Taoist Priest, Song Lan's cold and furious way of swinging the sword just now was lingering in her head.
She had no choice but to move closer to Xiao Xingchen.
Cui Yang originally wanted to pretend to be unconscious.
But then, he really passed out.
It's not his fault, the sword that resisted Song Lan suffered such a serious injury
☆、The second of deception
The next morning.
A-Qing stared sullenly at the table in a daze.
Cui Yang sat beside her, his head propped up, wondering what he was thinking.
Anyone who looked at it would feel that the atmosphere in this room was really dull, even if Xiao Xingchen couldn't see it, he would be a little surprised.
He brought porridge and put it in front of the two of them, and said strangely: "You guys are really quiet today."
"Really?" Cui Yang replied innocently, "Aren't you going shopping today? So I have to go shopping again?"
Xiao Xingchen remembered, and asked, "A-Qing, are you still sad about what happened yesterday?"
"...No." A-Qing replied, but sniffled after speaking.
Xiao Xingchen reached out to touch her head, and comforted her: "Don't worry too much about it, it might be unintentional to say that, so don't take it to heart."
A-Qing shook her head, and answered honestly, "Yes."
Xiao Xingchen said, "Then let's eat, you didn't eat anything last night."
A-Qing reluctantly drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, as if she finally couldn't take it anymore, she gave Cui Yang a hard look.
From just now, Cui Yang has been looking at her with a strange look, which made her feel uncomfortable, but A-Qing dared not speak out.This time I was forced to rush.
——For example, if a rabbit is cornered, it will bite people.
Cui Yang still spread his hands innocently, neither angry nor speaking.
But Xiao Xingchen couldn't see the undercurrent between the two of them, he only heard their wooden bowls being picked up and put down, and asked, "Did you quarrel?"
"No." Cui Yang replied naturally, turning the spoon along the bowl once and for all.
A-Qing suddenly raised her head and said, "Let's go shopping together."
Xiao Xingchen replied: "Okay, I'll go after dinner, I promise you."
A-Qing bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "No, I mean, the three of us go together."
Cui Yang exaggerated: "Oh, I am really flattered that you are willing to let me follow."
"Don't make trouble." Xiao Xingchen reprimanded slightly, and Cui Yang responded with a playful smile, and then he continued, "That's fine, after all, anyway... I can't see. But you can't tease A-Qing anymore. "
Cui Yang smiled and replied, "I went to play with you too, who buys vegetables."
Xiao Xingchen said: "It's good to go together when we come back."
"Okay." Cui Yang replied.
A-Qing glanced at him in surprise, she could tell that Cui Yang was in the right mood, but she didn't understand what Cui Yang was happy about.
Noticing her gaze, Cui Yang also looked over and smiled.Obviously until yesterday Cui Yang thought she was blind, but he got used to the fact that she could see so quickly.
That smile, A-Qing only felt...it was exactly the same as the one she saw when she woke up from the nightmare last night.
She quickly lowered her head.
Cui Yang quickly finished his porridge, packed up the dishes and left, still humming a little tune.
After Cui Yang left, Xiao Xingchen suddenly called her, "A-Qing."
A-Qing was startled, she just felt that this situation seemed familiar, and then she came to her senses, the person in front of her was the Taoist priest, not the bad guy who killed people without batting an eyelid.
She shook her head and pretended to answer lightly: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Xingchen didn't notice her abnormality, and said, "A-Qing, he really wants to get along with you very much."
he?
It took A-Qing a while to figure out who Xiao Xingchen was talking about.
How could it be... that sinister, cold-blooded bad guy.She slandered in her heart.
Xiao Xingchen continued: "Don't show him face all the time. If he doesn't say anything, he will definitely feel uncomfortable. Isn't it good to be like today?"
A-Qing's mood was complicated, she just felt that a ball of wire was choking her throat, and it was extremely difficult to speak, so she said after a long time, "He...he always laughs at me, saying that I..."
"What did you say?"
After washing the dishes, Cui Yang opened the door and came in, asking casually.
A-Qing was about to explain, but Xiao Xingchen said first, "It's nothing."
"Oh..." Cui Yang replied, walking towards Xiao Xingchen suddenly on a whim.
A-Qing's heart almost jumped into her throat, what did he want to do, what did he want to do!Should I yell to be careful?
As if knowing that she was nervous, Cui Yang stood in front of Xiao Xingchen, turned around and smiled at A-Qing.
Then he leaned down, and gently kissed Xiao Xingchen's cheek.
As if he wasn't worried about being discovered at all, he just kissed him so unabashedly——
A-Qing blinked.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Xingchen asked, and reached out to touch the place where Cui Yang had kissed.
Cui Yang replied, "You got porridge on your face, wipe it off for you."
Xiao Xingchen didn't think there was anything wrong, nodded and said, "Thank you."
Cui Yang thanked him without shame and said, "It's fine."
A-Qing watched from the sidelines, feeling suffocated, and followed Cui Yang when he was going to get his things, waving his arms as if to hit him, cursing in a low voice: "You bastard, you bullied the Taoist priest again, You're not saying you'll never do something like this again—"
She was a teenager and a girl, she was malnourished and was thin and petite, and she hadn't cultivated immortality. After being beaten by A-Qing a few times, Cui Yang didn't feel any pain or itching at all, and let her get angry for a while. Only then gently pressed A-Qing's arm, and said softly, "Don't be so loud. Did I bully him? Why do you think I bullied him?"
A-Qing couldn't say it, her eyes were blushing, and she just said, "You——you're shameless! You bully him so he can't see it!"
"I'm just shameless," Cui Yang smiled triumphantly, "Why are you complaining? I didn't do anything serious. Even if he found out, he just scolded me. What's the fuss? Are you serious? If you think I'm bullying him, then I'll go and tell Xiao Xingchen that I just kissed—"
In the middle of Cui Yang's words, A-Qing hastily covered his mouth with her tiptoes, as if she was afraid that Xiao Xingchen would hear what he said.
She rolled her white eyes without pupils, making sure that Xiao Xingchen was still outside, then let go of her hand, and said viciously, "No nonsense!"
Cui Yang grabbed her with his backhand. A-Qing was startled and was about to struggle in a hurry. Cui Yang took advantage of the situation and let go of her hand, made a booing gesture, and said with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, either."
A-Qing couldn't stand upright for a moment, took two steps back, and snorted angrily.
After a while, they went out together.
A-Qing walked away from Cui Yang.
She originally thought that Cui Yang would definitely not let her and Xiao Xingchen go out alone, since she had no chance to tell the Taoist priest anyway, and she hadn't thought of a reasoning yet, so it would be better to let Cui Yang go out with him than to know him. It will definitely be more comfortable to watch in the dark.
But it was really awkward for the three of them to go out together.
Suddenly she heard Xiao Xingchen calling her, "A-Qing, where are you?"
Only then did she realize that she was so preoccupied with her thoughts that she forgot to tap the bamboo pole to walk, so she quickly mended it a few times and said, "I'm here, I haven't lost it."
Cui Yang smiled startled: "Can you lose it?"
Xiao Xingchen said earnestly, "There are so many people, they'll get separated if they don't know what to say, A-Qing, come closer."
"What are you afraid of, I'll just lead you guys by the hand." Cui Yang said this, he really held the hands of A-Qing and Xiao Xingchen, and walked among them.
Xiao Xingchen said, "Alright."
A-Qing subconsciously wanted to earn money, so Cui Yang let her earn it, and when she got tired, he pulled her over again, without letting Xiao Xingchen on the other side notice at all.
They were arguing with each other, and after a while, Xiao Xingchen said again: "A-Qing, I remember there is a hairpin shop nearby, but I can't remember where it is, do you want to go and have a look?"
Cui Yang took his words and said, "I saw it, it's over there, go and have a look."
But Xiao Xingchen stopped, turned sideways and squatted in front of A-Qing, and said worriedly, "Are you still unhappy?"
"...Not really." A-Qing didn't look at her face.Although she knew Xiao Xingchen couldn't see, she still had no face to look directly at Xiao Xingchen.
"Then why didn't you say a word?" Xiao Xingchen asked, "Did you really quarrel yesterday? Did he laugh at you too? Don't worry, I'm here, he won't laugh at you again."
Cui Yang defended himself dissatisfied: "I really didn't laugh at her."
Xiao Xingchen turned around.
Although his brows and eyes were covered with bandages, Cui Yang still felt that he was stared at, and he said weakly: "Okay, okay, whatever you say, it's all my fault."
"Let's go, let's go..." A-Qing tugged at Xiao Xingchen's sleeve, not wanting to continue this topic.
The three of them walked into the store. The clerk saw that two of the three were blind and their clothes were poor, so he stopped the footsteps that he wanted to meet, with a look of disgust on his face.The man's gaze stayed on Cui Yang's face for a while longer, as if he wanted to see whether the remaining one might also be blind.
A-Qing suddenly remembered the first time she secretly followed Cui Yang and Xiao Xingchen, watching them hunt at night——
The "walking corpse" who was killed was also the one who had laughed at them before.
"Song Lan cut me with a sword, and I killed him. It's a matter of course for me." What Cui Yang said last night came out of her head.
A-Qing suddenly felt a coolness behind her, and hurriedly grabbed Cui Yang.
Cui Yang didn't know if he understood what she meant, so he shrugged innocently.
Xiao Xingchen asked inexplicably, "What's wrong?"
"I..." A-Qing stammered, "I've never been in this kind of store. Are there... a lot of things in the store? I'm afraid they might be knocked over."
Cui Yang raised his eyebrows, took A-Qing's hand that was holding onto his clothes, and said openly, "If you knock it over, just pick it up, what's the big deal?"
After speaking, he took down a hairpin from the shelf, and said, "Do you like hairpins with carvings, or hairpins with pendants? I think this one looks pretty."
What he was holding was a red lacquered hairpin, which looked simple at first glance, but was exquisitely carved.While talking, he also pulled A-Qing to the mirror, pulled up her hair, and inserted the hairpin between A-Qing's black hair, letting her look at herself in the mirror, but said in his mouth, "Touch and see." This shape?"
"...Just by touching, how can you tell if it's good or bad." Looking at the mirror, A-Qing said in a muffled voice.
Cui Yang said: "Then I will read it for you. If I say it looks good, it means it looks good. I think this is pretty good."
A-Qing snorted, "You can see it."
Cui Yang continued: "How about I tie up your hair for you?"
A-Qing was surprised, looked at Cui Yang who was half-bent in the mirror, and felt that what he said was kind of flattering.She waved away that strange feeling, and said, "If you want to know how to make a deal, then do it."
Cui Yang smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm not very good at it. I'll try."
Xiao Xingchen stood quietly at the side, listening to their conversation.Listening to A-Qing's complaints from time to time, Cui Yang responded with a few witty words exaggeratedly.After the dish was distributed, Cui Yang went to pay the money, and then he held A-Qing's hand.
"Does it look good, Daozhang?" A-Qing asked.
He replied: "I can't see it, but it should look good."
Cui Yang came over and said, "Don't touch it all the time, I can't help it if it falls."
A-Qing pissed twice in dissatisfaction, and said, "If it falls, it means you didn't play well."
It was already past noon when they returned to Yizhuang after buying rouge and vegetables.
Cui Yang sneaked into the kitchen with the vegetables, leaving A-Qing and Xiao Xingchen outside.
A-Qing was a little surprised, and said, "Why did he run off to cook by himself?"
Xiao Xingchen replied: "He said it on the way, don't you remember?"
A-Qing remained silent.
What surprised her was not who was going to cook, but that Cui Yang actually left her with Xiao Xingchen, so he wasn't afraid that she would say something?
Or is Cui Yang listening to what's going on next door?
"Prince Daoist." A-Qing pushed Xiao Xingchen, "Go and watch him, the food that guy cooks is edible? Who knows what kind of mess he will cook."
Xiao Xingchen couldn't help but stood up, saying, "You don't have to say that to him, he can still cook a meal. But you've said it all, so I'll help. Wait, the meal will be ready in a while. "
A-Qing nodded, "Yeah."
After Xiao Xingchen left, A-Qing lowered his eyes and let himself sigh.
☆、Threat of cheating
It was time to go grocery shopping the next day, and just as Xiao Xingchen was about to go out, Cui Yang followed.
"Let me go together." Cui Yang said affectionately.
Xiao Xingchen smiled: "Don't you always hate going out to buy groceries?"
Cui Yang pretended to be surprised and replied: "I don't hate it, I think it's pretty good, I like staying with you."
The word "like" was very natural, Xiao Xingchen didn't realize it for a while, and then suddenly smiled after a long while.A-Qing didn't hear these two words, otherwise she would definitely have goose bumps all over her body.
After that day, almost wherever Xiao Xingchen went, Cui Yang followed.
Xiao Xingchen noticed it, and said, "Why are you so clingy all of a sudden, you're not a kid anymore."
Cui Yang replied sweetly: "Compared to you, I'm just a child, let me be a little bit, brother."
Xiao Xingchen was helpless, but he didn't chase him away either.
A-Qing naturally saw it all.Xiao Xingchen didn't know why, but she knew that Cui Yang was just in case, so that she wouldn't have a chance to tell Xiao Xingchen about the previous things to be at ease.
One day when they came back from a night hunt, A-Qing saw that Xiao Xingchen was injured.
She immediately glared at Cui Yang angrily, but Cui Yang ignored him and helped Xiao Xingchen into the room to treat the wound.Xiao Xingchen couldn't even see her silent warning, and thanked Cui Yang at the same time.
Cui Yang came out quickly, and said darkly: "Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, this matter has nothing to do with me."
He dared to talk to A-Qing just next to Xiao Xingchen's bedroom with only one wall separated. "fraud!"
Cui Yang pulled the chair over and sat down as if suppressing his anger. It took a long time before he said: "He was injured by a ghost tonight, and his yang energy was damaged. Now he needs to rest. I let him sleep well for his own good."
A-Qing couldn't say anything to refute, but instinctively felt that Cui Yang had no good intentions, so she just found a chair and sat down, hugged her legs, and stared at him like a weasel.
"...I didn't protect him well. It was my fault. I apologize to you." Cui Yang suddenly whispered, his voice so soft that he could barely hear it.
A-Qing thought she had heard wrong.
Cui Yang turned his face away unnaturally, and said, "There will be no next time, and I will protect him no matter what I say in the future, is that okay?"
"Who would believe you!" A-Qing retorted instinctively.
Cui Yang frowned.
Then she screamed in her heart that it was not good.
Cui Yang suddenly changed the subject: "That's right."
"What?" A-Qing asked bluffing, trying to hide the fear in her heart.
"Song Lan, I buried the other Taoist priest you met before." Cui Yang's tone was light, but the content made A-Qing's heart tighten, "In the cemetery outside the city, even the sword was buried. , and set up a tombstone, but I can't engrave Song Lan's name on it, you know, I'm afraid that if he goes to the cemetery, if he touches that tombstone..."
They all knew who the "he" Cui Yang was referring to was.
Cui Yang went on to say: "If you feel dissatisfied, I will burn paper money for him as a sacrifice every year and festival."
A-Qing suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, and said, "You said you were buried? Who knows if you were really buried..."
Cui Yang began to get a little impatient: "Then what do you think I want? You still have to go to see the tomb, and then ask me to dig out the coffin in the tomb and open it for you to see? Such a scourge cannot stay in the world no matter what, so I went to complain to Xiao Xingchen, what should I do?"
A-Qing was speechless.
Cui Yang snorted coldly, and stood up after speaking: "You want to see, that's good, go now, I'll dig out his body and show you."
Fearful and startled, A-Qing grabbed Cui Yang and said, "...No need!"
Cui Yang looked at her, she unconsciously let go of her hand under this gaze, Cui Yang said nonchalantly: "It's best not to use it, to save trouble."
After recovering, A-Qing found that her back was drenched in cold sweat.
In the next few months, A-Qing realized that Cui Yang was once, and Xiao Xingchen didn't let Xiao Xingchen and her have a chance to talk alone.
In the first few days, she still thought desperately, really don't tell the Taoist priest, is there any way to get the best of both worlds, so that the Taoist priest can stay away from Cui Yang without knowing the truth.
But she couldn't figure it out.
Sometimes she feels that this statement is almost the same, and she will think of Cui Yang's words, saying that Xiao Xingchen will definitely question him...
Yes, no matter how you think about it, you will fall into this dead end.
She even hated Xiao Xingchen a little bit, why is he such a good person, don't worry about anything else, as long as he runs far away and he's fine, won't he?
But she soon understood that even if she really came up with a perfect excuse, she couldn't tell Xiao Xingchen.
As early as Cui Yang found out that she was not blind and knew his secret, she never had the chance to speak again.
Watching Xiao Xingchen get along with Cui Yang ignorantly, from time to time, A-Qing would feel pain in her heart, as if being crushed.
In the summer of the second year, a disease suddenly broke out in Yicheng.
A-Qing glared at Cui Yang again without thinking, and Cui Yang also stared back, taking advantage of Xiao Xingchen's absence, he said dissatisfiedly, "Blame me again? Blame me for everything? Do you have proof?"
She had no choice but to remain silent angrily.
The weather in Yicheng is already humid, and all diseases spread quickly. After half a month, when you walk around the streets, there are already coughing patients everywhere.
Xiao Xingchen was also a little worried, and said, "Is this disease a bit too vicious, I don't know if it's different?"
Cui Yang said: "This kind of place, it's inevitable, Feng Shui is not good."
Xiao Xingchen still couldn't let go.
Seeing this, A-Qing cleared her throat and said, "Why don't we go to another place for shelter?"
Xiao Xingchen replied: "There is a plague in Yicheng. People from other places know that we are from here, so they probably won't take us in. Just be careful, and we should be fine. Besides, the epidemic is raging, and many patients and people die. There is a lot of yin here, even if there is nothing wrong with the disease itself, accidents will inevitably happen, I might be able to help something by staying here."
After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something, and then said, "We cultivators are not prone to contract these diseases, but you are different, A-Qing, why don't you let him take you outside the city to escape, just the two of you , it’s better to act, I’m like this, it’s somewhat suspicious.”
After speaking, he reluctantly touched the loose bandages on his eyes.
A-Qing said in her heart that compared to you, that bad guy is obviously much more suspicious, and said, "The Taoist priest won't leave, and I won't leave either, and I'll stay too."
But things backfired.
A-Qing obediently obeyed Xiao Xingchen's instructions and stayed in the cemetery, looking at the situation on the street through the window with a little anxiety from time to time, but was distracted by the weak eyes of the sick.Tired and bored, but she couldn't go out, so she simply ran back into her coffin, thinking that if she slept until dawn, maybe if she could bear it, everything would be fine in a few days?
Although she knew it was naive, she had nothing else to do.
But the next day, just the next day, when she woke up in the morning, she felt that her head was so heavy that she couldn't stand up.
With a itchy throat, A-Qing coughed, but couldn't relieve the itching, coughed again, and spit out a mouthful of phlegm on the ground, suddenly dizzy.
Seeing Cui Yang walking towards here, she suddenly lowered her head again and was stunned.
Huh... is that blood?
Before falling to the ground, A-Qing thought vaguely.
"...she has a fever, very bad."
"When I went to call her, I saw that she couldn't stand still and fell to the ground."
"How come... She was fine yesterday, she stayed at home all day, she shouldn't be sick..."
"...The water basin is here. You take care of her and change her towels, otherwise I'm afraid she will burn too badly."
"Okay. Please go grab some medicine."
"There are patients everywhere now... I don't know if I can buy medicine. If not, I'll bring you some food and then go out of town."
"...Okay. Be careful, too."
At some point, A-Qing woke up and listened to their conversation.
She could hear every word clearly, but she just couldn't open her eyes.
When she finally heard Cui Yang close the door and leave, she felt relieved.
Strange - why should she worry.
Xiao Xingchen changed the towels for him countless times before she heard Cui Yang came back, and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen while saying "I'm going to decoct the medicine".
Strange - what is he nervous about.
Thinking about it, she slowly lost consciousness again, coughing from time to time in the dream, her throat was really uncomfortable and tight, coughing too much, even breathing became uncomfortable, she felt that she was about to die, but finally woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, A-Qing saw Xiao Xingchen guarding her side.
A-Qing called out, "...the Daoist."
Her voice was so hoarse that she couldn't recognize it herself, and when she opened her mouth, her throat felt like she had swallowed a thousand needles.
Xiao Xingchen immediately held her hand, and replied, "I'm here." Then he softly called to the other room, "A-Qing is awake".
"Wait for me." Over there, Cui Yang's voice responded.
Xiao Xingchen turned around, trying to comfort A-Qing, but A-Qing suddenly asked, "Did...that guy buy the medicine?"
Xiao Xingchen didn't know why, so he just replied, "Yes."
"It's nothing, it's just that when I heard you talking, I thought it was a dream." A-Qing added a few words, not wanting Xiao Xingchen to mind.
But after talking too much, she couldn't help coughing again.
Xiao Xingchen quickly patted her on the back to comfort her.
After finally calming down, A-Qing asked again, "That's right, did he cook the medicine?"
The voice became softer.
Without waiting for Xiao Xingchen to reply, she continued, "Master Daoist, I may be dying soon, I don't want to take medicine."
Xiao Xingchen scowled, and scolded, "What are you talking about—"
At this time, Cui Yang was walking from the kitchen with a medicine bowl in both hands, and he didn't know if he heard it, but he just glanced at A-Qing, and then pretended nothing had happened, and said to Xiao Xingchen in a low voice, "Help me." She sits up."
Finally, he put the medicine bowl on the table and added: "The medicine is hot and bitter. I'll get some sugar."
Although Xiao Xingchen couldn't see, he still couldn't help looking worriedly in the direction Cui Yang left.
"A-Qing." He stroked A-Qing's hair and said softly, "It's okay, can you drink the medicine? It's not bitter."
A-Qing just shook her head.
Xiao Xingchen continued: "You will be fine, you won't die, our A-Qing has always been so healthy, right?"
A-Qing shook her head even harder.
"I'll tell her." At some point, Cui Yang stood behind Xiao Xingchen.he said coldly.
—Don't make me stay with him.
A-Qing's hands clenched the quilt tightly.
But Xiao Xingchen couldn't hear the voice in her heart no matter what.
Xiao Xingchen stood up obediently, gave up his position to Cui Yang, and said, "Don't attack her."
"With her like this, can't she teach me a few words? She doesn't want to drink medicine, so she's not a child anymore." Cui Yang said angrily.
Xiao Xingchen frowned, and said sharply, "Don't be aggressive with her."
Cui Yang stared at Xiao Xingchen reluctantly, but after only a moment, he was defeated and said submissively, "Yes... I understand. I will talk to her properly."
After hearing this, Xiao Xingchen nodded, and then left the room straight away.
—Don't make me stay with him...
A-Qing pursed her lips, only to feel that her eye sockets suddenly became hot.
Cui Yang sat down beside A-Qing's bed, tested the temperature of the bowl of medicine, and then said softly to her, "Who are you playing with because you insist on not taking the medicine?"
A-Qing said, "I don't want to die."
His tone was also cold.
Because she didn't want to cry at this moment.
Cui Yang sighed, "Take your medicine well, you're just sick, you won't die."
"You? You said that to me?"
A-Qing kept her voice low, afraid that Xiao Xingchen over there would hear her, but she didn't hide the sarcasm in her words at all.
Cui Yang was silent.
He was holding the bowl of medicine, and it didn't seem right to put it down, and it didn't make sense to continue holding it like this.
Did he fry that bowl of medicine for a long time——A-Qing suddenly thought inexplicably.
For the first time, she felt that Cui Yang was a little... helpless.
After a while, Cui Yang said in a voice that was too soft to hear, as if talking to himself, "Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do anything."
A-Qing closed her eyes.
...Looking at the person in front of her again, she will, can't help but believe what he said.
"Drink it while the medicine is warm, don't make him worry."
In the darkness, she heard Cui Yang's voice.
She swallowed the almost choked feeling in her throat, and answered silently: "Okay."
The author has something to say: Is it Cui Yang's?or not?
The first story: deception, over.
The next chapter begins with the second story: the poisonous sting.
☆ One of the poisonous stings
The author has something to say: The second story: the poisonous sting
As long as Song Lan didn't die and Cui Yang didn't play too hard, Xiao Xingchen would probably protect him.
Half of it is because Xiao Xingchen is a good person.
A-Qing suddenly slowed down while running, and she saw Cui Yang in front of her, carrying a vegetable basket on the way home.
She found a bush to hide herself, but felt her heart beating non-stop.
Is she doing something wrong? !That Taoist leader had a grudge against bad things just now?
Then when they met, they really started fighting, what if they had to fight to the death?
Just as she was thinking, A-Qing heard Song Lan's cold voice: "Cui Yang."
A-Qing looked through the gaps in the branches, and saw that Cui Yang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, and just as he replied, Song Lan immediately raised his sword and stabbed at him, Cui Yang actually drew out his sword to block—— This was the first time she had seen Cui Yang draw a sword. In the past, she thought that only Taoist priests carried swords, and Cui Yang was just a half-assed person who didn't have his own sword.
Bah, bah, bah, not the time to think about this!
This must be a deep hatred!
It's over, it's over, it's over, you have to tell the Taoist priest!
A-Qing had just taken a step in the bushes when she suddenly thought that both of them were immortal cultivators. If she stood up and walked like this, she would definitely find that her hands and feet felt as if they were frozen, and her heart would feel cold. of.
Just for a moment, she saw Song Lan thrust out a sword, Cui Yang couldn't block it, and his arm was pierced severely.
It hurts!Just looking at A-Qing made her arms ache.
That bad thing obviously couldn't beat the other Daoist leader!
If this continues, I'm afraid she won't be able to seize the opportunity to go back and call the Taoist priest over!
A-Qing was anxious, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly shouted: "Help!!! Kill people!!!!"
She jumped out of the bushes and ran in the direction of Yizhuang, dancing and shouting "Killer!" for fear that no one would hear or watch.There is not much popularity in Yicheng, but it is not so deserted that no one dares to control the murder and arson on the street.
The two people who were fighting were stunned for a moment, then Cui Yang suddenly smiled.
Song Lan didn't notice.
Cui Yang didn't wait for him to think, and swung his sword away again.Although Song Lan was stunned for a moment, he was not slow at all when he drew the sword. On the contrary, when the sword was pulled away, the injury on Cui Yang's arm was even worse, and his hand lost all strength for a while.
"Don't change your mind." Song Lan said coldly, "Say! What are you planning by his side!"
Cui Yang was not moved by it at all, and said with a smile: "Song Daochang is really a close friend, even Xue was moved."
Song Lan's sword pierced Cui Yang's neck with the wind of the sword, but he dodged it sideways. He swung his backhand again, and the sword edge left a line of blood on Cui Yang's neck. He said, "Don't you think you don't know?" Say, I won't kill you? For me, it doesn't matter if I kill you directly. "
"Really, I'm really scared." Cui Yang smiled without half sincerity.
Even though Song Lan's sword was already around his neck, he didn't seem to know pain or fear at all.
When A-Qing pulled Xiao Xingchen back, there was already a circle of people discussing, and the noise made her head hurt. She yelled, "Get out of the way, get out of the way", and dragged Xiao Xingchen desperately. Xiao Xingchen slid into the middle of the crowd.But soon, Xiao Xingchen walked in front of her, and she saw that Xiao Xingchen had already put his hand on Shuanghua.
"A-Qing, you stay here." Xiao Xingchen confessed without looking back, and let go of A-Qing's hand.
A-Qing was a little lost in the crowd by herself for a while, and after trying to squeeze for a while, she finally saw the two people in the middle of the crowd.
Song Lan was pulling the sword out of Cui Yang's belly, but Cui Yang let out a muffled grunt and fell to his knees powerlessly.
Song Lan raised his sword again.
next sword,
must,
would kill him.
——A-Qing's heartbeat almost stopped.
But before that, Xiao Xingchen blocked the sword with Shuanghua.Standing in front of Cui Yang without hesitation, in order to protect him.
With a clang——
That sword must have been very heavy, but Xiao Xingchen blocked it. When blocking the sword, his hands didn't tremble at all.
But after blocking the sword, his eyes widened in surprise, as if he couldn't even hold the sword, he slowly lowered his hand.
"Zichen... yes, is it... Daozhang Song?" Xiao Xingchen asked gently and carefully.It seems that the person in front of him is a phantom, and if the voice is louder, it will disperse.
Song Lan also felt as if struck by lightning, she opened her mouth to speak, but couldn't say anything.
A-Qing didn't understand the situation, but suddenly shrank back into the crowd—she remembered that the other Taoist priest wouldn't let her tell Xiao Xingchen.Shouldn't he be venting his anger on her?Xiao Xingchen will protect her, right?
But Song Lan didn't think about A-Qing at all, she just stared blankly at Xiao Xingchen in front of her.
"Daoist Song—" Xiao Xingchen seemed to want to ask something.
But Cui Yang behind him suddenly coughed.
Xiao Xingchen became anxious for a moment, turned around and helped Cui Yang up, wanted to confirm his injury, but didn't dare to touch him casually, so he could only ask in a low voice with concern: "Are you injured? Is it serious?"
Looking at this scene, Song Lan was more shocked than angry, and didn't know how to react.
...so much so that he didn't even think about why Cui Yang, who just kept silent no matter how injured he was, suddenly coughed now.
Cui Yang didn't speak, or in other words, he looked speechless, and although he seemed desperately trying to speak, he couldn't stop coughing.At the end, he groaned in pain and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Xingchen became even more anxious, put down his sword and ran along his back, and said in a deep voice, "This man is my friend, if he offends you in any way, please forgive me, Daoist Song... Dust, make amends on your behalf."
The two stood still.
It wasn't until Cui Yang finally couldn't hold on anymore and passed out that Song Lan said, "...he's Cui Yang."
They went back to Yizhuang together.
A-Qing still couldn't understand the situation.He wanted to find an opportunity to ask Xiao Xingchen, but he didn't dare to show his face in front of the three of them.Besides, she also felt that this was not a question for her to ask.
Xiao Xingchen didn't forget her, and called her after picking up Cui Yang.
...A-Qing walked out of the crowd obediently, and then slid up to Xiao Xingchen's side, staying far away from Song Lan, and tried her best to hide herself beside Xiao Xingchen, not wanting Song Lan to see her.
The closer you get, the smell of rust fills your nose.
The bad guy really shed a lot of blood, staining Xiao Xingchen's Taoist robe into a miserable look, not to mention himself.Could it be that he died before he went back....
They didn't speak all the way.
A-Qing couldn't help thinking, could it be that the Daoist priest and him were also enemies?Then she made a big mistake!
Although she had an intuition that that person should be as good a person as Taoist Priest, Song Lan's cold and furious way of swinging the sword just now was lingering in her head.
She had no choice but to move closer to Xiao Xingchen.
Cui Yang originally wanted to pretend to be unconscious.
But then, he really passed out.
It's not his fault, the sword that resisted Song Lan suffered such a serious injury
