Strange Records of Xijing

"Zhu Baotoad?" Su Yan was a little surprised when he heard Pei Jingxing's words, "I've never heard of this thing, it's really so miraculous, can even the poisonous blood of a magic snake be cured?"

"Whether it's true or not, we have to try." Pei Jingxing said, poured another cup of tea for Su Yan, and pushed it in front of him, "Warm your hands."

It's strange to say that Su Yan's physique seems to be much colder than ordinary people's. Even if the earth dragon and smoke cage are burning in the room, Su Yan's hands are still icy cold.

Su Yan was already used to it. After taking a sip of hot tea, he felt a little warmer, and said eagerly: "You are right, no matter whether Zhu Baotoad is real or not, I will try it."

Pei Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "Are you going to go together?"

"Yes, let's go together." Su Yan nodded and said, "If Zhu Baotoad is really what the national teacher said, it must be ground into powder and swallowed immediately after cutting open the inner alchemy, then it is safest for me to go together."

Pei Jingxing knew that Su Yan's words were right. The Western Regions were thousands of miles away from here. There were too many difficulties and dangers along the way, and there were many people and mixed conversations, so rumors would inevitably leak.Even if it was him, he didn't dare to guarantee that he would be able to bring Zhu Baotoad back safely.

"But your eyes..." Pei Jingxing stopped talking when he said this.

Su Yan shook his head and said firmly: "It's okay, I will definitely not cause you any trouble."

"That's not what you said." Somehow, when he realized that Su Yan had misunderstood him, Pei Jingxing was eager to explain, "I didn't mean that. It's just that your eyes were infected by the snake blood of the magic snake. strange, what should I do?"

Su Yan smiled wryly: "It can't be worse than being blind."

Pei Jingxing knew that Su Yan was not a delicate little girl, and he didn't need to be so careless.Although Su Yan was blind, his adaptability was extremely strong. In less than a day, he could clearly remember the path that Pei's mansion had traveled. Just follow him.

Pei Jingxing had a few thoughts in his head, and then he made a decision: "Okay, let's go together, so we can take care of each other."

In a blink of an eye it was New Year's Eve, and as usual it was time to watch the year. Uncle Fu was getting older, and Pei Jingxing didn't want him to stay up late in the winter with him, so he wanted the old man to go to bed first.Pei Jingxing originally had good intentions, and in the past two years, Uncle Fu insisted on keeping watch and ended up falling asleep in the middle of the night. Especially last year, Uncle Fu accidentally fell to the ground in the middle of the night, leaving a long hole in his head. Scared people off their feet.

Uncle Fu, however, is determined to watch the year with Pei Jingxing: "The old master and the master treat this old slave well. Now the master only has the young master as your bloodline. Of course, the old slave must accompany the young master to watch the new year. I wish the young master a long life."

While speaking, Uncle Fu's eyes drifted towards Su Yan from time to time, but unfortunately the latter is now blind and did not notice Fu Unb's little move at all.

On the contrary, Pei Jingxing saw it clearly. Although he didn't understand why Uncle Fu's attitude towards Su Yan changed suddenly these two days, as if he saw an enemy, but he knew that Uncle Fu would never turn against others for no reason. This change should be due to Out of himself.

It's just that although Pei Jingxing knew that the knot was on him, he didn't know the specific reason.so

The so-called authorities are obsessed, but bystanders are clear. This is the truth.

Unable to persuade Uncle Fu, Pei Jingxing turned to persuade Su Yan: "We are leaving in a few days, you should go and rest first."

Ever since he heard that he had the hope of recovering his eyesight, Su Yan was very excited, why would he need to sleep?In addition, he had never kept the New Year's Eve, and he was very interested in this custom. He shook his head and said, "Find me a place to sit, and I won't disturb you."

It was rare for Su Yan to look like a child, making Pei Jingxing dumbfounded.He also thought that Su Yan probably didn't know what Chinese New Year was for the past 16 years, let alone like them, when he was young, he climbed trees, dug out bird nests, caught loaches, cut dog hair and all kinds of mischief. So he went with him.

Shou Sui always gets together as a family. Although he and Su Yan are not a family, they have shared life and death with each other several times. Although neither of them said it clearly, they both regard each other as the most trusted friends.Both of my parents died, and I used to have only one Uncle Fu to accompany me to watch the night, but now I have a friend who is devoted to my life to accompany me. It should be more comforting to see my parents in the spirit of heaven.

Thinking about this, Pei Jingxing waved to the boy standing by, and asked him to go to his room to find a thick cotton coat he had worn before, and put it on for Su Yan—the night was windy and dew heavy, even if the house It was warm inside, but Su Yan was born with a cold body, and he was poisoned by the snake, so he couldn't go wrong if he was careful.

Pei Jingxing was just kind-hearted, but when this scene fell into Uncle Fu's eyes, his heart skipped a beat again.

There are not many Pei family members, and Pei Jingxing is not the one who needs people to serve food and clothing, so when night falls, after the chicken, duck, fish and fresh vegetables that are rare in winter are moved from the kitchen to the main table in turn, only Pei Jingxing and Su Yan are in the room. Three people with Forbe, and the rest arranged another table for them to be seated.

Pei Jingxing was usually self-disciplined and rarely drank alcohol, but it was different during the Chinese New Year. Rice wine was warmed in the kitchen, and white wine was placed beside it, plus a jar of wine imported from the Western Regions.

Fu Bo loves baijiu, so he couldn't wait to take a sip of the baijiu after eating two chopsticks of food, and finally enjoyed it with his eyes closed.

Su Yan, who was sitting on the other side, was different. He couldn't see, but smelled the wine's attractive aroma. He thought it was similar to the wine he had drunk before, so he drank most of it in one gulp.The white wine passed through the throat, burning hot as if it was on fire, and once it fell into the stomach, the internal organs seemed to be roasted by the fire.

Pei Jingxing looked at Su Yan who was coughing hard, held back a smile, and reached out to tap Su Yan's back to prevent him from choking to death.

Uncle Fu saw him, picked up a big spoon to scoop up a bowl of hot and thick old duck soup, stood up and put it in front of Su Yan, then reached out to replace Pei Jingxing and patted Su Yan on the back: "Daozhang Su, this liquor has a long aftertaste , you are still young, you can drink some rice wine or wine."

Pei Jingxing took a spoon and put it into the chicken soup bowl: "Don't drink alcohol, drink some soup to warm your stomach."

It was Su Yan's first New Year's Eve, and he didn't expect that he would be ashamed after just taking a sip of wine. He blushed, and he didn't know whether it was from embarrassment or alcohol. He lowered his head to touch the spoon, and took a sip of soup into his mouth.After drinking the hot chicken soup, the internal organs that were about to burn up finally got some comfort and slowly subsided.

Su Yan felt relieved. He still remembered that Uncle Fu scooped it up for him. Although he couldn't see it, he still turned his head to thank Uncle Fu according to the direction of the voice, "Thank you, Uncle Fu."

Uncle Fu smiled and waved his hands: "Where is it, Daoist Su..."

At this point, Uncle Fu realized that he seemed to have forgotten his position, put away his smiling face again, hummed twice, and stopped talking.But Uncle Fu still remembered that it was Chinese New Year, so he didn't say anything, but returned to his seat and poured wine for Pei Jingxing.

Although Su Yan noticed that Uncle Fu's attitude towards him these two days was very different from before, but he didn't know the reason, and he didn't want to delve into it.He has lived in desolation for 16 years, and now he is drinking hot chicken soup, and there is still fish meat that Pei Jingxing made for him in the bowl, the sound of fireworks and firecrackers can be heard outside from time to time, and occasionally the people of Pei's family can be heard laughing and playing around , although he can't see it now, he really feels the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year——

Warm, lively and festive, no wonder everyone is looking forward to the New Year.

After a while, Uncle Fu was already yawning, he was still thinking about Pei Jingxing and Su Yan's matter, so he asked, "Master, do you want to settle down?"

Pei Jingxing looked at Su Yan who was blushing at the side - obviously the other party's alcoholism had not subsided - nodded and said: "Alright, first let someone burn the earth dragon in the house."

Uncle Fu didn't know how many times he had thumped, he looked at Pei Jingxing, and asked numbly: "Today is New Year's Eve, do you want to prepare another room for Daoist Su?"

Pei Jingxing shook his head and said, "He's drunk, and he still sleeps with me today. I heard that there was a general in the military camp who vomited a lot on the pillow towel in the middle of the night because he drank too much and had no energy. Turned over, and finally was blinded to death by the things I vomited out."

This reason was aboveboard, but coupled with Pei Jingxing's slightly drunken face, the suspicion in Uncle Fu's heart deepened by three points.He twitched the corners of his mouth with a half-smile, and said, "The old servant ordered someone to burn the earth dragon first."

Although Su Yan seldom drinks alcohol, his wine taste is really good.After getting drunk, he doesn't yell like some people, and even go crazy with the strength of alcohol.He just sat quietly on the chair, leaning against the back of the chair, with his head tilted slightly to his chest. With his face, people who don't know it can only think that this person is thinking about something.

At this time, even his pair of overly dim eyes would be mistaken for being lost in thought, and it would never occur to him that this handsome young man was actually blind.

It's just that it's hard work, and only Pei Jingxing can understand it.

He first walked up to Su Yan, knocked twice on the armrest of his chair: "Su Yan, go to sleep."

Su Yan acted as if he hadn't heard of it, and still maintained the original posture, with his eyes half covered, and his nose fluttered slightly with his breathing, looking very cute.

Pei Jingxing repeated it again, and Su Yan reacted a little. He followed the voice and looked at Pei Jingxing. His dull eyes just expressed Su Yan's puzzled mood at this time.

Pei Jingxing felt his heart beating in an instant, and it almost jumped out of his throat.He didn't understand why, but he felt touched when he saw Su Yan's blind eyes again.

Pei Jingxing simply reached out and patted Su Yan's arm: "Su Yan, let's go to sleep."

"Sleep?" Su Yan murmured several times, then nodded in a daze, "Okay."

He just got up, but the alcohol was not over yet, he felt dizzy in front of his eyes, his feet were soft, and he rushed forward. If it wasn't for Pei Jingxing's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he hugged Su Yan, I'm afraid Su Yan would be on the first day of the new year. He fell into a bruised nose and swollen face.

At this time, Uncle Fu just finished ordering his servants, and within two steps of walking in, he saw Pei Jingxing with his back turned to him, holding someone in his arms - Uncle Fu knew the identity of the other party without much guesswork.

The old master, the master, and the incompetent old slave actually let the young master go astray and become another Longyang Lord.

Uncle Fu wiped away his tears in his heart, and wanted to make another effort. He stepped forward and reached out his hand to take Su Yan from Pei Jingxing's arms: "Master, let me support Daoist Su."

Pei Jingxing's eyes scanned Fu Bo's chubby belly - because of the winter, Fu Bo was dressed thickly, and from a distance, it looked like a round ball, and the chubby belly looked even more Got bigger.

Pei Jingxing suppressed a smile and rejected Uncle Fu: "No need, I'll just support you."

Uncle Fu smiled bitterly, and didn't know what to say, so he followed Pei Jingxing step by step, watching Pei Jingxing lead Su Yan back to the house with half arms and half arms.

When Pei Jing walked into the room, he put Su Yan on the bed, turned around and looked at Uncle Fu who came in together: "Uncle Fu, go to sleep too."

Well, I can't wait to drive myself away.

Uncle Fu only felt his eyes darken, and his body was full of alcohol, so he stepped forward and grabbed Pei Jingxing: "Young master, I have something to say to you."

Pei Jingxing respected this old man who took care of him since he was a child. He turned around and covered Su Yan with the quilt, and followed Uncle Fu to the outside room.
