[Four famous arrests] Dao Wushu

Chapter 25

apologize

Zhui Ming smiled, and subconsciously touched the wine gourd on his waist—there had been no alcohol in the gourd these days, but he still carried the gourd with him habitually.

Xiyin looked at him intently.

Zhui Ming touched his nose, then turned to look at Leng Xue.

"I happened to be passing by, and the servant said you were out," Leng Xue coughed lowly, and turned his head to look at Xi Yin, "She asked me where you were going, so I brought her here."

Zhui Ming suddenly had a headache, and couldn't help but want to help his forehead—once Leng Xue met a girl, there was always nothing he could do.He had laughed at him before, if the other party was an enemy, cold-blooded would not be able to kill; As soon as Yin said, he brought him here.Of course... probably there is also the purpose of not wanting to drink with injuries.

My recent luck is really terrible!Zhuiming let out a long sigh with a bitter face, and limped to the two of them on crutches——Xiyin glanced at him, pursed her lips, but didn't reach out to support him.

"Xiyin?" Zhuiming called her.

Xi Yin didn't respond, looked at Zhui Ming and Leng Xue, lowered her eyes slightly, and said softly: "If there is nothing else...then go back."

After finishing speaking, the little Taoist nun took a step back, then turned around, and walked in the direction of the Shenhou Mansion unhurriedly.

Zhuiming was startled, his face changed slightly, and he was about to follow up on crutches—Lengxue quickly reached out to hold his arms and shoulders, and followed him together.

……

The little Taoist nun was angry—it took a whole day, and at night, Zhui Ming finally confirmed it.

Chasing one's life has gone through ups and downs, and she is the most transparent about human relationships, so it doesn't take so long to see a little girl's emotions.However, Xiyin always had a straight face, no expression and almost no words. She was quietly and focused on practicing swords and Taoism. There was really no emotion on that face.So Zhui Ming waited until the evening before finally being able to confirm that she was in a bad mood, that she was angry—or this should not be called anger, because her behavior did not have any emotional fluctuations at all, but was extremely calm.

But this is the most worrisome thing - the little girl has finally become gentle and lively recently, but it seems that within a day, she has returned to the alienation and coldness when she first met.

The door of Xiyin's room was not closed, and Zhuiming leaned against the door, watching the little Taoist nun sitting cross-legged on the couch with her eyes closed, concentrating on meditation.Zhuiming sighed, leaned against the door frame and sat down on the ground, put one hand on his bent knee, closed his eyes and meditated.

It was almost midnight when Xi Yin finished her meditation, she got up from the couch, walked unhurriedly to the door of the room, planned to close the door and go to bed, but suddenly saw Zhui Ming sitting on the ground leaning against the door frame— —He sat on the ground in a casual posture, with his head slightly tilted to one side, and his eyes closed, apparently asleep.

The candlelight in the room was warm and flickering, but it was a little dim, so that most of his face was hidden in the shadows, and he looked more and more vicissitudes of life.

Xiyin pursed her lips, stood there and hesitated for a while, finally turned back to the room, took a blanket, squatted down, and draped it lightly on his body, then stood up and turned her head to go Back in the room, I suddenly heard the familiar, rough voice behind me:

"Xiyin!"

I don't know if it's because he just woke up, or because at night, his voice seems to be much gentler and softer than usual.

Xiyin paused slightly, then turned to look at him.

Zhui Ming rubbed his face casually, and immediately became sober. He raised his head and looked at the expressionless Xiyin—the little girl's face was rendered more delicate and delicate by the candlelight, making it almost impossible to move. open your eyes.

"It's really my fault today, I shouldn't have gone out to drink secretly," Zhui Ming looked at her, and confessed his mistake openly, "Little girl, don't be angry?"

Xiyin lowered her eyes and remained silent without speaking.

Zhui Ming coughed twice, and patted his chest, as if reassuring and coaxing her: "I will definitely not drink until the injury recovers, okay?"

——It’s just that you don’t drink when you’re hurt, not forever.This is so many people's concern and concern for him, and he also feels warm and grateful in his heart.

Xiyin pursed her lips, and stood quietly on the spot for a long time—so long that Zhui Ming thought that she would not answer her own words and was about to try to coax her again, but she suddenly spoke in a soft voice. :

"My master rebelled and went down the mountain before I was born. I have never met him. It was my senior brother who raised me. Later, my senior brother also died. I was killed by my senior uncle by mistake." Xiyin paused for a while before slowing down. He continued slowly, but his tone was still flat without any ups and downs, "I met you later, you... are very good, I don't want you to be like senior brother. Your master and senior brother... are very good to you."

Zhuiming was stunned—he only knew that her senior brother passed away not long ago, but he didn't know that there was such a hidden secret in it, and he didn't know that she was like this when she was in the teacher's school... Zhuiming shook off the little girl who took it before The blanket that was draped over his body was spread on the ground beside him, and he patted: "Sit down and talk."

Xi Yin hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, and sat beside him—but still sat upright with a straight back.

Zhui Ming patted her on the shoulder, the eloquent person didn't know what to say for a while, the two of them were silent for a long time, Zhui Ming finally asked tentatively:

"I used to be on the mountain...was it very hard?"

Xiyin didn't hesitate, and quickly shook her head—Chunyang is very good, she is very satisfied.

Zhui Ming suddenly felt a little distressed - there is a master who has betrayed the sect, and the embarrassment of the disciple's position in the sect is self-evident.If the situation is good, it is no more than treating the other disciples equally, but after all, it does not have the same teaching and protection of the master as the others.If the situation is not good... I am afraid that being excluded and bullied by fellow students is commonplace.

But she didn't find it hard - he could feel that she really didn't feel bitter, had no resentment or wronged, and even... probably still liked Shimen very much.

It's just that she may not even be aware of it, but she still longs for the teaching of her master and the friendship of her fellow students—that's why she just said at the end, "Your master and brothers are very good to you." .

Zhui Ming sighed, couldn't help stretching out his hand...avoiding the little Taoist nun's Taoist crown, touched the top of her head, but didn't ask anything, instead suddenly changed the subject, watching him earnestly promise road:

"I know Uncle Shi and my seniors have treated me very well, and I cherish it very much."

Having said that, Zhui Ming paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, patted her on the shoulder and added: "Of course, you are also very kind to me."

Xiyin looked up at him without speaking, but her expression gradually softened.

Zhui Ming heaved a sigh of relief, smiled more and more comfortably, habitually wanted to touch his wine gourd, but just touched the gourd with his hand, but reacted immediately, couldn't help but froze slightly, and finally made up his mind after a while After making up his mind, he gritted his teeth, took his hand back, straightened his face, turned his head to look at the little nun, and raised his hand to promise:

"I will definitely not drink until the injury is cured!"

Xiyin nodded, reached out and patted his shoulder to comfort him, "It will be fine soon."

——Every time she comforted him, she repeated the same sentence over and over without any new ideas, but he still felt a little warm in his heart every time.

"Okay, it's so late, go to rest early!" Zhui Ming stood up with his support on the wall, and sighed exaggeratedly, but the little nun kept looking at him with a straight face all the time, and in the end he also He could only sigh and continue to comfort himself:

"After the injury is healed, you must drink it well!"

Probably in order to strengthen his tone to convince himself, Zhui Ming said this sentence obviously a lot louder, and deliberately bit his tone, after finishing speaking, he nodded vigorously as if he was confirming something—— Xi Yin stretched out his hand to support him, and while helping him back to the room, while watching his slightly funny appearance, a smile slowly appeared in his eyes.

……

The life-seeking leg finally got the approval of the doctor three days later and announced that it was completely healed—as expected, he held a wine jar everywhere he went that day and refused to let go, as if he wanted to drink all the wine that he hadn't been able to drink a few days ago Just to make up for it, no matter when you see him, you must be drinking - but at this time he has recovered from his injuries, so naturally no one will restrict his drinking anymore.

Zhui Ming's leg has healed, and the New Year is coming—Xiyin actually doesn't have much idea about the New Year, and has always been reading books and practicing sword quietly as usual.Just looking at the posting of peach charms, sweeping and dust removal in the Shenhou Mansion, and being dragged to watch firecrackers and fireworks on New Year's Eve, the little nun can't help but gradually feel happy and self-conscious about celebrating the New Year.

Happy days always seem to pass very quickly, but in a blink of an eye, it has arrived on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month-the Lantern Festival.

As usual, there is a lantern festival on the night of the Lantern Festival, and Bianliang is the capital city, so the lantern festival is naturally more lively and prosperous.It is rare that there were no major cases at the beginning of this year, and it was quite peaceful. It is rare for the "Four Famous Detectives" to spend a good year together in Bianjing. Smiling and urging the "young people" to go out together - Si Jiantong was still a child at heart, so he let them go out to play ruthlessly early in the morning; Mingben had always wanted to take Xiyin for a walk around, but naturally he didn't refuse, and the five of them went out together.

The author has something to say: Inexplicably, there is a sense of sight of "My wife, I am wrong, I must hand in all my salary every month, don't steal alcohol, and go home on time after get off work!"
