The person who caused the trouble had his tongue cut out and blood flowed all over the place.

Xie Jing didn't want to just be guarded behind, and went up the mountain with the guards at night, chopped off the bandit's head and brought them back.

Master Jiu lifted the curtain of the car and looked at them indifferently. Steward Xie Jing and Steward Sun Fu knelt aside. The corners of the steward's lips twitched. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, Xie Jing took him down: "I took people there. I, I Young and impulsive, he didn't know how to measure, so he led people up the mountain."

It was the first time Master Jiu got angry with him, his face was livid: "Do you still know the word 'property'?!"

Xie Jing pursed her lips and knelt there without saying a word.

The people in the car were so angry that they kept coughing, and Steward Sun Fu yelled several times in fright.

Xie Jing gave in first, and said with red eyes, "I was wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"I, I try my best."

……

The things I remember in the dream are scattered and messy, intermittent, as if many years have passed.

Xie Jing made mistakes and did many things right.

Master Jiu sent everyone away, even Sun Fu, who was in charge, so he naturally thought about sending him away too.

Xie Jing seldom gave in. He bowed his head in front of Master Jiu's hospital bed and whispered, "Master, I was sent away once, and I don't want to be sent away again."

Master Jiu raised his hand and rubbed it lightly on his head. After a while, he said, "You were not sent to the East Courtyard by Cao Yunzhao, but I snatched you from him because I saw you well. He was in Sichuan It’s better for you to go back to his side than to be here, if I’m not here, there will be someone who can take care of you.”

Xie Jing couldn't hear this, and refused to leave.

He took care of Jiu Ye by his side, decocted medicine, made tea for him, and even learned how to cook.

He didn't do well at first, but he gradually became more proficient. Master Jiu ate half a bowl more, and he was happy in his heart.

The war continued for a long time, and supplies were scarce. Master Jiu gave his money and contacts to the new helmsman, and he stayed in the mountain city and rarely showed up.

Xie Jing lived with Master Jiu behind a temple, and he could hear the bell ringing every morning, from spring to summer.

The medicine Jiu Ye took was extremely bitter, Xie Jing learned how to make dim sum from the locals, and every day he made four or five plum cakes and sent them to him. The taste was light and slightly sweet and sour. Jiu Ye had taken the medicine and would share it with him.

Later, he became seriously ill, and spent most of his time in coma, and occasionally coughed up blood when he got up.

Xie Jing was helpless, but the seriously ill person turned to comfort him. His hand was on the top of his hair, and his nose was sore. Xie Jing clenched his hand and placed it on the side of her cheek, rubbing it lightly.

The medicine gradually stopped working, Xie Jing heard someone tell the folk prescription, cut a piece of meat on his right arm with a dagger, and used it to boil the medicine.A bandage was wrapped around the wound on his arm, and some blood soaked out, which hurt, but he didn't care.

On the first day of early spring, Master Jiu suddenly became much more energetic and was able to sit and chat with him.

Xie Jing was overjoyed and wanted to push him out for a walk, but she was afraid of the cold spring, so she stood up and sat down happily, not knowing what to do.

Master Jiu beckoned him to come over, held his hand and stroked it a few times.

Xie Jing stuttered and talked to him: "Master, are you better? I just went to the temple to ask for a lottery two days ago, and the master who unwrapped the lottery said, 'All things are renewed, old diseases should be healed, and all wishes come true'..."

"Jing'er, listen to me." Master Jiu coughed twice, and said in a low voice: "Life is short, when there are gatherings and parting."

Xie Jing's eyes were red.

Master Jiu moved closer, put his forehead against Xie Jing's and said slowly: "There will be a caravan coming in two days, you go with them to Spring City, or continue south, or cross the sea..." Xie Jing shook his head, Master Jiu But he laughed, "I have given in. I originally planned to let Hong'er come to pick you up and take you to Nanyang. But I am afraid that you miss me, so I am not willing to send you so far."

He lightly touched Xie Jing's arm hidden in the sleeve, and he could feel the thick bandage on it through his clothes, "If I leave, you must stop doing stupid things, and you must not hurt yourself, and you are not allowed to follow."

Xie Jing's arm hurt, but his heart hurt even more, as if someone had dug a hole alive with a knife.

There was no sound of great grief, his arms trembled, but he couldn't cry out.

That was the person he could not keep with his flesh and blood as medicine.

……

Xie Jing was caught by the nightmare, clutching her right arm with one hand, her nails almost sinking into the flesh, the more she tried to struggle, the tighter her grip became, her joints turned white, bleeding marks from pinching, her hair was so painful that her hair was wet with sweat and sticking to her cheeks.

Someone hugged him from behind.

Xie Jing woke up suddenly, and pressed her backhand: "Who?!"

"it's me."

Xie Jing was stunned for a moment before realizing it. When she let go, her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and she murmured, "Master?"

"it's me."

Two replies comforted Xie Jing, his heart was still pounding, the pain hadn't been lessened by waking up, and his voice was still a little choked, he held Master Jiu's hand on his chest, let He felt his heartbeat through the palm of his hand.

Master Jiu probed his forehead, frowned and said, "Why are you sweating so much, I'll call the doctor."

"No, master don't go." Xie Jing turned over and hugged him, lowered her head and whispered: "It's fine if master is here."

"What's the use of me here?" Master Jiu comforted him, "I'll ask the doctor to give you an injection. After the fever subsides, you'll be fine after a night of sleep."

Xie Jing shook her head, trembling slightly.

Master Jiu couldn't bear it, hugged him and coaxed him softly: "It's because I didn't think carefully, is Jing'er afraid?"

Xie Jing's teeth chattered slightly: "I'm afraid...to die."

Master Jiu kissed him: "I will guard you and will not let anything happen to you."

"You can't either, something happened."

"Well, we all live a long life, and I will guard Xiao Jing'er for the rest of my life."

Xie Jing listened to him tenaciously many times before she finally settled down, her heartbeat slowly returned to normal, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.He snuggled into Jiu Ye's arms and whispered to him, talking about this life and seeking the next life.

Master Jiu smiled lightly: "I'll give it all to you. If there is an afterlife, I'll go find you." He stroked Xie Jing's earlobe lightly with his fingers, and then stroked the silver ear button on the ear bone for a moment, "How many marks are there on your body? Remember clearly, when you find it, keep it by your side for a lifetime.”

Xie Jing turned over on him, put his hands on his sides, looked at him and said, "Master, why don't you do it yourself, and make a few more places on my body, so it will be easier to find in the future."

The lights in the room are dim, but you can still see the eyes of the young man on his body, warm, pure, serious and persistent.

Not at all strict with his inner desires.

Like is like.

……

Xie Jing let go a lot, but Master Jiu only helped him, but didn't allow him to mess around.

Xie Jing reached down, bit her lips and said, "My lord hasn't relieved yet."

"You can't bear it now." Master Jiu kissed him, and said in a hoarse voice, "After you recover, the future will be long."

Xie Jing was raised in Zhuandou Township for two days, overcame her inner demons, and gradually got better.

He recovered quickly and became much more energetic. After recovering from his illness, he moved to Master Jiu's house and did not shy away from others. He was reluctant to part for another moment.

Zhuandou Township is the property of the Xie family. Xie Jing had established his reputation in Yunmeng Mountain before, and his wrists were cold and hard. along.

Xie Jing helped Jiu Ye get dressed, just like he did every day before, and even found the white jade lion pendant he was wearing before, and tied it up for Jiu Ye himself.

Master Jiu played with it and asked, "Just one?"

Xie Jing said: "There are two, a pair. There is another one in Xichuan. I didn't know that the master was coming, so I kept it in the box. I will wear that one when I go back."

Jiu Ye raised the corners of his lips a little, stood there and asked him to adjust his neckline, and waited for him to get dressed, and said, "It's still your dexterity. After you left, it didn't go so smoothly."

Xie Jing: "If you want me, I will go there, and I am willing to serve you."

Jiuye: "Let's leave you, Young Master Xichuan, to follow me?"

"Yeah." Xie Jing looked at him, and his eyes met, "I just want to follow Grandpa, I will follow Grandpa wherever he goes, and this time I won't fall behind."

For some reason, Master Jiu couldn't help but soften a little when he heard his words, as if he was in debt.

Xie Jing lowered her eyes, closed the surging emotions in her eyes, and said in the same tone as usual: "My lord said that he will pick me up at the end of the year, but now I am here earlier than before, I am already very happy, I... I almost want to ride a horse Go back." The ending of the last sentence trembled slightly, as if the cub had been wronged.

After a while, Master Jiu sighed, "Winter is too long, and I can't wait."

If not, how could he put aside his heavy official duties and come to Xichuan in his busy schedule.

The bandits in Yunmeng Mountain were cleared up quickly. Luo Nianqiu was stationed in one part of the canyon, leading troops strictly. After dispelling and annihilating a few groups of deserters, no one ran to Xichuan soon.

Xu Jun still stayed at Yunmeng, not only him, but also the salt merchants in Xichuan City were a little worried. Luo Nianqiu said it was very good at the beginning, but not everyone can let go of the fat Xichuan.

Xie Jing met Luo Nianqiu several times with Master Jiu, and on the way back on horseback, he did not hide it from Master Jiu, and said to him: "Uncle is a little worried."

Jiu Ye said: "Luo Nianqiu is different from others, this person can be trusted."

Xie Jing looked at him, waiting for him to continue.

"Luo Nianqiu and I worshiped Mr. Huang as a teacher and studied for several years. Later, when I went back to the North to do business, he went to the army. It was also a coincidence. My cousin studied with him for several years in the military academy. It was a fateful friendship. "Jiu Ye explained, "There is a civil strife in Yicheng, and it is his task to put down the rebellion. Xichuan pays the salary and he sends troops. It's just for mutual benefit."

Xie Jing asked: "He doesn't want to occupy Xichuan?"

Master Jiu laughed and said, "His ambition is not here."

Coming back from Yunmeng, no matter whether they met Xu Jun's subordinates or other nursing homes sent to deliver food along the way, they were a little timid when they saw Xie Jing, and called him respectfully.

Although Xie Jing hasn't returned yet, Xichuan City has already spread a bad reputation about him, even worse than Xie Siquan, the devil king of the world.After all, Xie Siquan only teased a few masters in the lower city, no matter how unrestrained he was, he never whipped anyone. Xie Jing used force in front of everyone, and when those people carried them back, their backs and legs were seriously injured. It is said that they were still tied to the tree. For three days, only a little water was given.

Xie Jing would never admit these things in front of Master Jiu, she would push it away if she could, and play tricks if she couldn't push it away.

Xie Jing said seriously: "It must be that the people brought by the master were too fierce and scared them."

Xichuan Shangcheng, Xie's family.

The Xie family courtyard is very large, some of which were expanded later. The original small courtyard was surrounded by bamboo forests, leaving only a winding path, and the rest was covered.

The houses here are shorter, but the doors and windows are exquisitely carved, and the courtyard and the house are also clean and tidy. Although no one lives there, it can be seen that they are carefully cared for.

The moon was more than half full, and the moonlight was bright and clear, reflecting a vast expanse of whiteness on the ground.

Xie Siquan brought a jar of wine and was drinking while sitting on the roof watching the moon.

Suddenly he heard the sound of bricks and tiles next to him, after a while, He Dongting slowly climbed up to the roof, he was not as casual as Xie Siquan, bent over to support him, and walked cautiously.

Xie Siquan glanced at him, a little disdainful: "It's no wonder that you can do these things, I'm afraid it's not the first time you've climbed the roof?"

He Dongting was sitting not far from him, he shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not the first time."

"Oh?"

"Yuanyuan took me to climb once before, and she said that watching the moon on the roof is brighter than other places."

Xie Siquan turned cold, put the wine cup in his hand to his lips, raised his head and drank it down, wiped the corner of his lips with the back of his hand and said ruthlessly: "You are not worthy of my sister!"

He Dongting looked up at the bright moon, and after a while, he said slowly: "From the very beginning, I was the one who climbed high. I have never seen someone as good as your sister. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be where I am today." Me." He took out something from his bosom, looked at it under the moonlight, it was a stone object, but the size of a palm, handed it to Xie Siquan and said: "When I went to Jing'er's yard, I met Aunt Kou, so I knew what it was. There is a stone tiger in the Buddha statue, which was given to me by Yuanyuan."

Xie Siquan took it and looked at it, but it was a dragon carved from black stone, which was made of the same material as the stone tiger.
