I raised monsters in the Song Dynasty

This is the first time that Lian Shuo and Li Banxi go out alone to do private business. In the past, they either took the giant with them, or they drove Qixing out in a hurry.

But this time it was purely for fun and shopping, Lian Shuo didn't let Qixing out, just walked slowly along the country road with Li Banxi, admiring the scenery while walking, it was a kind of fun.

Li Banxi still carries the bamboo basket on his back, and picks up any strange-shaped leaves he sees. This is a little hobby of his. In modern times, he had a study in his home, and the labels inserted in the books were leaf-veined bookmarks made by himself.

It's just that when he came here, although he couldn't read traditional characters, he couldn't get rid of the habit of picking leaves.

"Hey, Banxi..."

When Li Banxi heard Lian Shuo calling him, he felt itchy behind his ears, as if he had been touched by something fluffy and prickly.

Turning around, it turned out that Lian Shuo had a dog's tail grass in his mouth, and was using the dog's tail grass to rub it on his ear.

Li Banxi avoided it with a smile, and said: "You don't look like a demon catcher anymore."

Lian Shuo leaned his hands behind his head, and only used his mouth to hang the grass in circles, as if he could dance like Monkey King playing a golden cudgel.He asked with a vague smile, "What does it look like like a demon catcher?"

"The stupid son of the landlord's family." Li Banxi shook his head and smiled.

Lian Shuo was not annoyed, he just spat out the grass in his mouth, spread his palms and said, "Here."

"What?" Li Banxi looked down and saw two thin willow leaves spread out in Lian Shuo's palm. He looked up at Lian Shuo, who was holding the back of his head and said, "I see you are always picking leaves along the way." , I thought you wanted to use it to play the flute, but the ones you picked up were not good, I just found these two pieces carefully, and the shape and everything are the best, here you are." After speaking, he turned his palm to Li Banxi That direction shifted two inches.

Li Banxi was surprised at first and then laughed. It turned out that this guy thought that he picked up the leaves to play the flute, but it is normal to think so, the ancients would not use leaves as bookmarks.

He twirled a willow leaf from Lian Shuo's palm and accidentally rubbed it against his hand, which made him feel warm and dry.Li Banxi took advantage of the situation and picked up the two pieces, put them together, and said to the high-spirited young man in red: "Listen up, let's play a song."

Lian Shuo stretched out his hand to stop: "Wait a minute, find a good place."

Li Banxi laughed, were the ancients so strict about music?I only heard that before playing the piano, you have to bathe, burn incense, and dress neatly, so how can you choose a good place for these two leaves now?

Thinking in your mind is one thing, doing it is another.

Li Banxi respected Lian Shuo's opinion, looked around, and found a big rock near the stream not far away, smooth and clean, as if it was used to rest by passers-by, and it was shiny with oil rubbed on it.

"Let's go there!" Li Banxi pointed to that place, Lian Shuo seemed to agree, and they went together.

When the two arrived at the place, they sat down side by side. Li Banxi took out the two leaves, put them together, and summoned up the courage to start playing. He liked to play the harmonica when he was free in modern times, so... shouldn't it be difficult to replace it with leaves?

Unexpectedly, just as Li Banxi tried to blow out a few syllables, Lian Shuo opened his mouth and looked at him, his expression was obvious, and all his thoughts were written on his face: I can't believe you can blow so badly.

Li Banxi also knew how he played, his ears were a little red, he coughed a few times and tried to hide his embarrassment, the two were silent for a long time, and it was unknown who laughed first, and then they looked at each other, finally unable to hold back laugh at each other.

Lian Shuo smiled until the corners of his eyes were filled with tears. He gently wiped the wet corners of his eyes, and said to Li Banxi's foggy eyes, "Let me blow one for you!"

Li Banxi was about to say, "Okay, there's a willow tree over there, you go and pick two more leaves", when she found that the leaves in her hand were gone, and she had already been taken away by Lian Shuo, before she could tell him that it had been taken away. After blowing it by himself, Lian Shuo had half held the two small and narrow leaves in his lips.

Forget it, Li Banxi thought, they are all men, and they don't even care about Shuo. Can a modern person be more pedantic than the ancients?

Thinking in this way, I heard a melodious tune, the sound is clean and pure, without the electronic sound added by modern music and some messy heavy metal rock, but it makes people feel refreshed, quiet and comfortable.

Li Banxi heard half of it, and began to carefully look at the person on the left.An ordinary person would not be able to wear such a bright and gaudy color at all, but wearing it on a young man would make his color more beautiful than snow and his skin as creamy.Li Banxi didn't know if it was right to use this idiom to describe a man, but in his opinion, it was like this.

He had never looked at Lian Shuo so carefully before, and only when he got closer did he realize that his eyelashes were long and thick, and there was a very small mole on the right side of his face near the neck, which he had never seen before. He even felt that, Young people's exposed skin is warm and smooth, with a beautiful shape.

Li Banxi didn't dare to look down his neck, he finally realized that something was wrong with him.In fact, this feeling of something wrong has long been there, whether it is Lian Shuo poking his hair in a daze, or the natural physiological reaction of the two of them accidentally entangled while sleeping, this feeling has long since emerged. It's just that they are ignored by themselves unconsciously or consciously.

But this time feeling You Sheng, Li Banxi became irritable for no reason, he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't dare to figure it out, he just thought about how to avoid it, how to escape.

Right now, Lian Shuo has finished playing a piece of music, maybe it’s because he used his lungs for too long, or maybe it’s because the morning mist hasn’t dissipated yet, so he looked towards Li Banxi with wet eyes: “How is it? How is it? Yes? Don’t you think your brother’s skills are much better than yours?”

Lian Shuo thought that he was going to say something like "I'm older than you, so you should call me brother", but he just stood up, straightened his clothes a little, and said in a neutral tone, "You played very well, Let's go." Without even waiting for Lian Shuo to get up, he left along the path.

Lian Shuo hurriedly got up and chased after him. For some reason, he felt that the emotion Li Banxi just said was not right. Although he was as gentle and polite as usual, he could feel a sense of alienation in his tone.The two walked for a cup of tea without speaking, and Lian Shuo finally couldn't help asking: "What's the matter? Are you tired from walking?"

After finishing speaking, he was about to poke his little balls as usual, but Li Banxi dodged away as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Lian Shuo's hands were frozen in the air.

Suddenly the atmosphere dropped.

Li Banxi also felt that his behavior was a bit inappropriate, how could he vent his depression on others, he kindly came to comfort himself, and even made such a small embarrassment at him.

He finally opened his mouth slowly, and found a random reason to prevaricate: "It's nothing, it's just that this song is so beautiful and sad, I feel a little homesick."

Lian Shuo's hand descended from the air, and finally landed lightly on Li Banxi's shoulder. He felt that Li Banxi's body stiffened and let go. Finally, he only comforted him: "It's okay, you still have me."

Such a simple sentence made Li Banxi's nose sour and his eyes inexplicably astringent. He didn't want Lian Shuo to find out what was wrong with him, so he tried his best to hold back, and his words returned to normal, urging: "Let's go, I'm not going to the town Is it? At this speed, people will disperse before reaching the market.”

Seeing that he was not as sad as before, Lian Shuo followed him in two steps, talking again and again: "Let me tell you, you have to make this lantern yourself. It's so boring to buy. Let's pick the materials later and make it." Make a bunch, wait, I'll get you a river of stars tonight."

"Orangutan?" Li Banxi knew that he meant "star", but deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, saying, "I can't afford to keep a drunkard, and if I make a river out of it, then all my money will be gone."

Lian Shuo heard that Li Banxi was trying to amuse him on purpose, not only didn't explain, but also followed his words and said: "It's okay, my son, I have enough money, whether it's raising a river of stars or a river of prostitutes, it's not a problem. .”

Li Banxi was dizzy and tinnitused by his "sluts" and "stars", he just waved his hands and said: "Forget it, you are such a prodigal, your master may be pissed to death if he finds out."

"Hey," Lian Shuo laughed twice, "I'm just kidding, I have savings too!" After saying that, he leaned into the other's ear shamelessly and said, "You will follow my brother from now on, and you will be well-fed and hot!"

Li Banxi suddenly began to miss the decent young man who could calm down by giving a sugar man and blushed at every turn.When the two didn't get to know each other well, he was warm-hearted and shy, and he was prone to petty temper, but as they got along for a long time, he found that Lian Shuo's face was getting thicker and thicker. the essence.

"Okay," Li Banxi quickened his pace, but he didn't expect that this person could easily change the speed according to his own rhythm, "It's almost noon, what do you want to eat later?"

"Anything is fine." Lian Shuo looked at him, "Yes, do you want to prepare some food or something? I don't think there are many things in the kitchen."

Li Banxi nodded: "I need to prepare, it's going to be cold soon, and I need to buy some clothes." Aunt Lan also needs to buy some, after all, she helped herself so much at the beginning.

He looked at Lian Shuo's thin clothes and asked, "What kind do you like?"

Lian Shuo looked at him in surprise, and then his tone suddenly became shy: "I... I... I actually... I'm not very demanding, I like fair-skinned people, and my height is fine. Anyway, I'm tall, so I'd better be gentle , and play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

Li Banxi stopped, glanced at him and found that the problem was with himself: "Ah... that's... I mean, what kind of clothes do you like?"

Lian Shuo was embarrassed, thinking about it with him for a long time was all his own wishful thinking, so he said blankly: "Any style is fine, anyway, I look handsome in it."

Li Banxi thought to himself why should he ask this person, wouldn't this cause trouble for himself?

"Why don't you speak?" Lian Shuo asked.

"say what?"

"If you ask again, I actually have a style I like."

"No need. It's the same on you anyway."

The sun rose, and the sunlight shone on the deserted path, and on the bodies of the two young people who were bickering from time to time.

Li Banxi yawned, and a drop of teardrops stuck to his eyelashes. When the teardrops were illuminated by the sun, Li Banxi felt that several rainbows appeared in front of his eyes.

The two had nothing to say, and soon arrived in the town, and bought along the market, Lian Shuo was always able to reach out and pay first.

Li Banxi put a whole set of the Four Treasures of the Study into the bamboo basket, and said helplessly, "You...don't pay, I still have some money here." boy.

Lian Shuo waved his hand: "I've been eating and drinking here for so long, I always need to buy something, besides, I don't know how to cook on weekdays, so I need to buy something! Stop talking... Boss, this, this, I want this as well.”

The peddler laughed so hard that his creases came out, he probably never made such a big deal.

Li Banxi looked at the things in the hands of the two of them, and guessed that he would use Qixing when he went back.
