Crown Sword

After passing the crescent-like Luozhu Waterfall and wading through the grassy swamp, within an hour, Gongyangyue and his party reached the hinterland of the valley.Standing on the rhizome of a thick giant tree and looking far away, you can see a small house surrounded by colorful flowers, and the house is surrounded by forests intertwined with light and mist, which is quiet and quiet.

Chai Xiao let go of his voice and called out "Yan Niang", the echo echoed for a long time, a woman with a windproof turban, a big spoon in her hand, and a potbellied woman came out of the room, and waved it vigorously in the direction of the sound. big arm.

"Yanniang!"

The man who used to be full of foul language and yelled to kill, now he will be like a ten-year-old boy, happily running over, throwing down the kitchen knife hanging from his waist, and stretching his arms to hug the woman he loves. full of.Gongyangyue led the people to come from behind, "hissing" gasping, as if the back molars were sore.

Chai Xiao made a disrespectful gesture, and scolded with a smile: "You deserve no one to hurt you!"

Yan Niang couldn't speak, so she could only stop Chai Xiao's arm in a panic. It happened that the spoon was covered with hot oil, and when she swung it, it just splashed into Chai Xiao's eyes.Chai Xiao said "Ouch", and wiped it away with his sleeves, but the more he wiped it, the more mess it became. Yanniang had to turn around to fetch water for him, but when she turned around, she smelled the burning smell coming from the stove, and rushed into the kitchen again.

"You crow's mouth, you have been punished!" Gong Yangyue was in a good mood, since he failed to borrow good words from him a few times before, and now he sings back, it may be a good thing.

Thinking of this, Gong Yangyue turned her head and glanced at Chao Chen quietly.

After turning off the fire and serving the dishes, the tired five people changed into clean clothes and sat around a table, finally able to have a good rest.Chai Xiaoren was careless, and when he planned to escape, he made full preparations. In the small wooden warehouse behind the hall, he piled up food for at least half a year, plus game in the mountains, so there was no need to worry.

It's just that this detached house is not a courtyard, it's just such a small one, not counting the main hall, there are three rooms in total, Shuang Li and Yan Niang are definitely in the same room, and the remaining four men are divided in two.

Chai Xiao picked his feet aside, waiting for them to volunteer.

The more polite you are at this time, the more disadvantaged you will be. Gong Yangyue has always adhered to the principle of "make the move as soon as possible", so she stretched out her hand and said, "I'm staying with Chao Chen."

Terrified, Chao Chen desperately asked Cui Tanfeng for help.

In view of Gongyangyue's "threat", Cui Tanfeng smiled and shook her head helplessly.

Several people looked back and forth, Yanniang was the most puzzled at the moment, not knowing why they wrestled, and then seeing Chai Xiao's appearance of fearing that the world would not be chaotic, so he was a little angry, and hurried over to push.She is quite clear about the virtues of her husband, but looking at those sons, they are all handsome and handsome, they just refuse to live together.

Chai Xiao closed his eyes tightly, and wanted to pretend to be dozed off, and struggled for a while, but Yanniang was not fooled, and pushed him again, telling him to let go, and then he hopped over with his shoes on one foot, towards Cui Tanfeng. He scooped it up on his shoulder: "Is it a miracle doctor in Dongting? It's easy to say, you sleep on the couch, and I'm a rough person. I just lie on the ground casually. Hehe, if you don't ask for anything else, here are two anti-fetal medicines."

Cui Tanfeng took advantage of the situation and slipped away: "I will guarantee you until full-term childbirth!"

Gong Yangyue watched the two of them far away, her trick succeeded, she was overjoyed, with an inadvertent smile on her face, she reached out and patted Chao Chen's shoulder: "See you tonight."

After speaking, he hummed a little tune, got up and left.

Chao Chen knelt down in front of the food table, sighed, and Shuang Li comforted him: "Lao Yue is not a scourge. Think about it, he didn't do anything to you when you first came here, and it won't happen now? Oh! What's the matter, is it possible? Did you offend him? Let me just say, after you left Yunzhong, the two of you have been weird..."

"It's more terrible than being offended!"

"Hey——" Shuang Li opened his mouth and gasped, trying to answer, but he didn't answer, "So, what is more terrible than offending?"

Chao Chen didn't say anything, and ran out after him.

After the meal, Chai Xiao and Yan Niang sat on the fallen wooden stake, holding branches, learning to write.Yan Niang was a wealthy family when she was young, and she learned Chinese poetry and prose. Later, her family fell into disrepair, and she was taken captive to the north during the war.

Chai Xiao vowed to learn Chinese characters well.

But he was born to be active, and when his butt touched the ground, he liked to wriggle around. He didn't learn two words, but he got up and sat down two or three times, and he forgot every time he learned it.

Yanniang hated that iron could not be made into steel, so she threw the branch forward in anger.

When Chao Chen came back, the branch landed at his feet and was trampled on one end.He looked down, moved the sole of the shoe, and picked it up casually. Chai smiled at the woman's face, and in order to save face and show off, he rushed over with a fierce force: "I'll come, I'll come!" Snatching it from Chao Chen's hand abruptly, Turn around to coax people.

Unexpectedly, this big boss is actually a strict wife.

Chao Chen stood by for a while, seeing that he hadn't left, Yan Niang smiled, seeing his literati demeanor, she signaled with her eyes that she wanted to invite him to teach calligraphy.Chai Xiao was keenly aware that the eyes of the two were intertwined, so he hurriedly turned his body to separate the two of them, and said something, but it was so unobstructed: "I don't have much to see here, let's go see your ram! "

In Chai Xiao's eyes, Gongyangyue dragged three together, and he was like a patriarch with three stunned heads, but it was not a family.

But when this joke fell into Chao Chen's ears, his face turned red instantly. Yan Niang glanced at her husband, and Chai Xiao was also frightened by his expression, speechless: "The literati just think too much, this... this What did I say wrong again, isn’t it the truth? I, I, ah, Mr. Chao, just take me for being stupid and offend you!”

"It's okay."

Chao Chen waved his hand, but was amused by his winking.

Chai Xiao heaved a sigh of relief, and took advantage of the situation to greet people: "Come and have a look, what is this word? I've been remembering it for a long time but I can't remember it!" Chao Chen really went over to take a look, and found that it was the word "laugh".

"It's easy to say," Chao Chen said again, pointing to the branch in his hand, "Do you think the 'bamboo' on the top looks like double pupils?" The branch nodded twice and emphasized, "Look at this again, does it look like the corner of the mouth is turned up. Eyebrows are curved, Yan Ruyao is just smiling."

"It's really..." Chai Xiao exclaimed, and was about to praise again and again, but he caught a glimpse of Yanniang's smile from the corner of his eye, and immediately changed his words, "No, no, no, I still think my wife is a good teacher."

Chao Chen didn't understand it at first, but gradually he understood it.

Chai Xiao cupped his hands, hoping that he would not expose him, Chao Chen nodded in response, thinking in his heart: For others, learning is the goal, but for the people in front of him, learning is a process and enjoyment.

Yanniang wanted to wash the dirty clothes, but Chai Xiao refused to let her go, only saying that he wanted to recognize two more, and even promised to help her with her later, holding a basin with a mallet, and hugging clothes to hold saponins.

Looking at the warm scene, Chao Chen was very helpless. As a "Mr. Moment", he doesn't understand the taste of lovers. He only knows that he will lose a lot of sense of accomplishment, so he muttered: "The road is long and the road is long. Will search up and down."

Chai Xiao consciously understood the famous sentence, praised it in time, and regained his energy: "That's true! Recognition of characters must not be put aside easily. If you don't pay attention, it will be in vain... Besides, I... ...Oh no, my lady has put in so much effort, if I give up, I will let you down in vain, ouch, I really can't let it go, I can't let it go!"

Hearing this, Chao Chen couldn't laugh anymore, and only sighed quietly: "...Yes, I can't let go."

----

Because of Cui Tanfeng's sense of humor, Gong Yangyue gave him and Chai Xiao the largest room, and he and Chao Chen picked up the narrow one. After sunset, Chao Chen grabbed grains and fed them to the birds, and then entered the room. , shake off the burden on the low cabinet, and check the contents one by one, you don’t know it, just take a look——

The Fengduo that was beaten belonged to Ramyue.

Letters, about the Gongyang family.

The bone knives are delivered by Ram every month.

The leather scrolls were collected by Gongyangyue Laopa.

Chao Chen looked back and forth through the wrapping, and confirmed it three or four times before he was relieved that he hadn't picked up the wrong bundle. He sat on the couch and leaned back, sighing a long time.

His world seems to be occupied by the Ram Moon, he is everywhere, and how sincere are the words he said?

No, you can't be so passive!

Chao Chen sat up and carefully picked up the things thrown aside. When he received the list, he couldn't help pulling out the old note in the cracks to ponder. His heart was a little shaken, and he kept telling himself that he didn't stay because of Ram month, but because of "Kaiyang".But no matter what, my heart was still uncertain, and I couldn't see it, and I could only return to the original place in a hurry, staring at the light in a daze.

Shuang Li's laughter came from the next door. In contrast, his place was like being bathed in a miserable wind and rain.

How about resting earlier?

Chao Chen looked at the couch, and suddenly found that there was only a cold quilt. He was busy rummaging through the room, looking at all the storage places, and finally accepted the reality.

Is it possible to sleep under the same quilt with the ram moon tonight?

Just when he propped his forehead with his hands and didn't know what to do, the sound of splashing water came from outside the wooden house, followed by Shuang Li's greetings and Gong Yangyue's answer.

Do it like this?

Chao Chen didn't want to meet his eyes, embarrassed and speechless, he simply blew out the oil lamp, lay down on the couch with his clothes on, closed his eyes tightly, slowed down his breathing, and pretended to be asleep.

The wooden door "creaked" and was pushed open.

Gong Yangyue was silent for a moment in front of the door, then entered the room lightly, took off her sword and walked to the couch without lighting the lamp.Borrowing the cold moonlight, he lowered his eyes and stared at Chao Chen's peaceful sleeping face.

In just a few breaths, Chao Chen's hand tucked in the quilt was already dripping with sweat.

He pricked up his ears to listen to the sound, but there was no sound. He didn't know what was going on with Gong Yangyue at the moment, his heart was flustered, he didn't even dare to swallow his saliva, he just held his breath, waiting for him to fall asleep.

Fortunately, I didn't wait too long, and there was a sound of undressing.

Chao Chen's heart sank, and he was about to relax and fall asleep when his voice suddenly stopped strangely.He frowned, there was no movement on the left or right, he didn't dare to open his eyes, his mind was in a mess for a moment.

The ghost knows what kind of twisted brains Gongyangyue is using!

Soon, he felt the thin quilt being pulled open, and the cold wind poured straight into his stomach.Gong Yangyue raised her hand and kicked the wooden couch: "Chao Chen, don't you take off your clothes when you go to bed?"

Chao Chen stubbornly resisted.

"I know you're not asleep, get up and talk." Gong Yangyue stared at his face.

Chao Chen continued to clenched his back molars.

Gong Yangyue let go of the quilt and then half-kneeled in front of the couch, rubbing his chin with a suspicious expression: Did he really fall asleep?He had a brainstorm and had a wonderful idea. He immediately turned over and landed behind Chao Chen. He first threw two copper coins against the wall, and then stretched out his hand towards the quilt.

Chao Chen finally couldn't hold back his shamelessness: "Where do you put your hands?"

Gong Yangyue looked innocent: "Looking for something, didn't you hear?"

"Are you looking for something to come to me?" Chao Chen sat up straight, glared at Gong Yangyue, touched the back of his neck and was about to fall over. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was a crisp sound of coins falling to the ground, and then looked at the blank sheet beside him. I can't help but think again, could it be that I really misunderstood him?He simply softened his tone again: "What are you looking for? I'll help you find it."

Gong Yangyue supported her head with one hand, lying on the couch on her side, and after a long time said with a joking smile: "Of course I was looking for you, my heart is on you, just now." As he spoke, he poked his head over and looked at his face expression.

Chao Chen pulled off the quilt and covered his head.

"You're so thin-skinned, you're afraid of jokes!" Gong Yangyue lay down, staring at the beams of the roof, feeling drowsy, and his heart was shaking badly. After a moment, he smiled again, and suddenly shrank his legs and folded his arms , pretending to be shivering: "It's cold in this late autumn night, if you don't pay attention to the wind and cold, I'm afraid it will delay the trip again..."

Chao Chen peeped out with two eyes, caught sight of Gong Yangyue's overcoat thrown on the table, frowning and then flattened, and finally grabbed the quilt with his hands, and quietly sent some back.

Gong Yangyue turned over, saw that small movement, felt proud, and said again: "Hey, worry too much, I heard from that dead girl of Shuangli that I have always had a problem, I tend to be hot and afraid of cold, maybe I will fall asleep for a while." how……"

Chao Chen shivered, fearing that he would come over, so he quickly sent some back.

Gong Yangyue put the half of the quilt on her waist, turned her back, and stopped talking, the surroundings were eerily quiet, occasionally there was laughter from the next door, and then she turned off the lights and blowing the candles, and all rested, only the outside of the house was left. The wind blows the grass.

Really asleep?

Now it was Chao Chen who was full of doubts, but he didn't dare to move his arms and legs, let alone turn over, for fear of waking him up, so he just closed his eyes and silently counted his heartbeats.In the past, when Gongyangyue called him, he always liked to sleep with his arm on his head, but at that time, they were mostly light sleep naps on the spot on the road, and it was the first time that he had "shared the same bed" in a serious way.

What's more, the state of mind is completely different from one moment to another.

Chao Chen admitted that he was indeed tempted, but he couldn't tell whether it was the admiration for Gongyangyue's style of behavior and being attracted by others, or the love and pity in his heart for his past and encounters, but no matter which one it was, it was not The love delivered by life and death is far from that level.

They met for the first time because of the assassination, and then became bonded by "Kaiyang", then what happened after that?If "Kaiyang Jilue" is found, the conspiracy is smashed, and the grievances of the Gongyang family are brought to light, what will happen after that?

——Are you really ready to be tied to him for the rest of your life, to let go of everything and wander the world?

He couldn't give an answer.

Just like although he can feel that Gongyangyue's attitude is quite different from before, he doesn't think that such emotion is enough to last a lifetime. It's just a child's like, teasing, teasing, bickering, and making jokes to try, but it's not " Endless" love, because there is no future in the imagination.

It is easy to attract people, a smile is enough, but it takes a long time to say love.

Chao Chen didn't know what Gongyangyue was thinking, he could only think from his own side——

With Gongyangyue's temperament, he would never shrink back and live in seclusion, let alone hide. With his dazzling brilliance, sooner or later, the whole world will know that there is such a person by his side. Shake it out, Jiang Zuo is afraid that there will be another bloodbath, the consequences are simply unimaginable, and it may involve other people, even Gongyangyue.

He never thought that one day, his "living" would be a mistake.

What's more, there is still the dedication and hard work in the past, and the pursuit in the past is still tightly grasped. As Chai Xiao said, how can it be so easy to throw away everything that has been invested?

Chao Chen was sleepless until midnight, just when Gong Yangyue turned over and threw his arms on his back, he took advantage of the situation and looked back, only to see the cold quilt being kicked away, only draped on those long legs.

The house has been unoccupied for a long time, and there are holes in the grilles on the window lattices, allowing cold wind to leak in.

A soft heart is Chao Chen's biggest problem.

He sighed softly, stretched his arms and approached, and pulled the quilt horns to cover the ram's moon cover, fearing that he would continue to be dishonest, he even leaned over and stretched his hands, stuffing two of the four corners under his ribs and calves to press them down.

With long hair brushing against her face, Gong Yangyue suddenly opened her eyes, but she didn't move. She waited until Chao Chen fell asleep again, her breathing gradually calmed down, and then she glanced back and landed on the covered quilt .

At that moment, warmth filled my heart, no matter how cold the long night was, I didn't feel it.

Soon, Chao Chen retracted his arms, the thin quilt was only so wide, it was barely enough for two big men to cover it at the same time, not to mention the distance between them was so wide, one of them would definitely suffer.

Gong Yangyue noticed something, reached out to touch his sleeping hole, then grabbed his arm, pulled him into her arms, and gently pressed his chin against his forehead.

Xu Shi was still not satisfied, after a short sleep, he quietly wrapped Chao Chen's hands and feet around himself, and fell asleep happily.
