THE A

After two consecutive days of scorching sun.

Jia Ye still maintained a straight body motionless.

The people passing by him sometimes whispered, and some came up to express their condolences, but they didn't get a serious response from him. He seemed to have really become a log that endured the wind and sun.

The reason for being punished was that he went on a night tour with the prince, which angered Lord Indra.

Fortunately, he is still a popular person in front of the prince. I didn't expect that the prince would still be under the discipline of Lord Indra—this is the most widely circulated version.

You are not allowed to participate in training, you are not allowed to eat lunch, and you are allowed to rest only after the lights are turned off at night. It seems that Jia Ye is not far from exhaustion.

When he first came to the training camp for a while, so many things happened, which made him feel "tired" physically and mentally.

During the break, the weather was very hot, and there were some gray and dark clouds, as if it was going to rain.Ali sat on the side resting sadly, and the brothers were chatting beside him like gossip women, discussing the matter of Jia Ye, as a pastime after dinner.

"It's really strange that Lord Indra doesn't even pay attention to the prince's intercession to Kaya."

"Yeah, I heard that King Garol has been lying in bed for a long time now, ignoring the government affairs. That power seems to be in the hands of a prime minister named Hari."

"Don't expect Jia Ye to still think about us when he becomes famous in the future. Even the prince can't cover him, so why does he still cover us?"

"How do I feel that your description is so dark?"

……

Ali has a big body, just like the well-developed limbs and simple mind that others often say, he actually raised his chin like a little girl, put his hands on his legs, looked at the sky with a sad face, extremely melancholy.It looks ridiculous.

Bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, and then made a continuous ticking sound, and the dry sand flat that had been exposed to the sun for several days became wet in patches.Afterwards, the people around him ran past Jia Ye chattering, no one had time to pay attention to him, and they all went to hide from the rain.

"It's over, it's going to rain heavily, I said why is it so boring."

It was the lunch break time, and it was raining heavily, and the recruits wandering around the training camp all went back to their houses.

There was only one person standing by the wall against the heavier and heavier rain.

This is punishment.

Old wounds are not healed, and new ones are added.

Jia Ye is also very clear that only by obeying the management of the army will he be eligible for promotion in the future, otherwise he will pack up and leave as soon as possible.He has no complaints.

Probably because it hasn’t rained for too long, the long-accumulated dark clouds can’t wait to swallow up the entire sky, and you can feel it without raising your eyes. There was a glimmer of light, and the sound of thunder and rain had no chance of escaping.

Within a few seconds, Jia Ye was drenched under the torrential rain.

Wet broken bangs stuck to his forehead, and raindrops slid down his hair, covering his face.

Close your eyes and prevent the rain from eroding into your eyes.

First, it was exposed to the scorching sun, and then it evolved into being baptized in the rain.A flash of lightning lit up the dark sky, and the thunder that accompanied the heavy rain roared overhead.

The rain was heavy and imminent, presumably even if it poured on the body of a strong man, there would be tremendous pressure.After a long time, someone discovered from the window that Jia Ye had fallen on the ground and was lying motionless. The rain was like a thick quilt covering his whole body.

……

A dark sky hangs over a small village surrounded by forests.

The villagers all entered the house, but a thin figure stood at the door of the house and looked around. The eaves of the thatched wooden roof were covered with huge drops of water, and the boy's broken hair was already wet.

Seeing that familiar figure, Jia Ye quickened his pace. The burden and bow and arrows on his body were soaked in rainwater, not to mention the clothes all over his body, which were tightly attached to his skin and turned dark.The other party rushed forward without hesitation, hugging his neck tightly.

"Jia Ye, you're back...I'm so worried about you, are you okay..."

"It's okay, it's raining so hard, why did you run out?"

Jia Ye stroked his head, then suddenly put down his hand, and his wet body stained the other party with rainwater.

"With such a loud thunder, I'm afraid of you... afraid that you will be killed in the woods..."

The other party hung his head, his sad look made people feel distressed.

"No, I have common sense, the rain didn't start until halfway through."

"Look at you're soaking wet..."

"Is it leaking at home? I'll patch the roof next time."

He took Dasha's shoulders and entered the room. Both of them had wet hair, but they didn't feel embarrassed.As long as you are at home, it will be warm even in the cold winter.

……

Dasha...?

It rained heavily.

How is he?With such a heavy rain, the roof is still leaking...

I don't know how long I have been sleeping, there is no buzzing sound of rain in my ears, and my body is much more relaxed. Jia Ye returned to reality from the distant memory.

A strong consciousness called for him to wake up quickly, and at the same time a crisp voice rang in his ears.

It is said that the person who appears in the dream will see him the next day.

Maybe it's true.

"Kaya! You're awake!"

Opening his hands, Jia Ye bit his chapped lips and struggled to get up. The rain stopped, and when he saw the interior of the simple dormitory, his mind instantly cleared up.

This is not a dream.

Moisturized by saliva, coupled with dormancy after fatigue, it is not as uncomfortable as before.

The body is a dry suit that has been changed.

Even though it was about the size of a slap, they were pushed up by the floating building to check their condition, and the two of them were already stuck together.

Fulou poked the opponent's face.

"You're awake, I'll take you to eat later."

This kind of intimate behavior made Jia Ye very embarrassed. He couldn't help but sit up, but he couldn't use his strength. Probably because he didn't eat, he could only lie down and ask, "Why are you here?"

Fulou looked at him with a shy smile.When he leaned down, the earrings were almost sticking to his face, and he was not used to such a close distance.It was such a familiar face, but after knowing the identity, it was extraordinarily strange.

"Of course Indra allowed me to come here to see you, and I'm afraid that you won't be able to bear the punishment."

Fortunately, there were no other people watching. After the prince came to the training camp in person, no one dared to disturb him, and the guards were also guarding the door.There are only two of them here.

"I'm... all right."

Jia Ye sat up with his upper limbs propped on the bed, Fu Lou also shrank under the bed, sat on the edge of the bed, turned his head away, as if hesitating to say something to Jia Ye.

"Kaya..."

"what?"

Sitting up while arranging clothes.Probably out of joy and shyness, Fulou laughed a few times before opening his mouth: "You can enter the palace as an attendant, and you can be my companion, let's study together, Jia Ye...are you happy?"

Can't say I'm not happy.But not happy either.The conflicted mood was resolved into silence for a while.After a while, Jia Ye asked, "...how about you?"

Fulou smiled brightly at him, sat up and stretched his arms, and the window cleared.

"Of course I'm very happy. You can follow me back to the palace tonight. I...I don't want to wait any longer."

Probably infected, Jia Ye also laughed along with Fulou.

He didn't know what kind of mood this was.

As the meaning of Fulou, Jia Ye packed his bags and really moved into the palace.And he has a small room alone, just like other maids and attendants, as long as he serves the prince, he can eat and dress warmly, and has new clothes every season, and his job is to study with Prince Fulou.

Putting on a brand-new bodysuit made of silk and satin, Kaye followed behind Indra and gradually became familiar with the environment in the palace. Portrait of King Garol.

Indra led the way and gave him instructions.

"I called you this time to let you be the attendant of Prince Fulou. He usually needs to practice swords, but he doesn't want to practice alone without a companion of a similar age. Since he likes you so much, I intend to let you You come."

"Yes."

Jia Ye just responded silently, unable to refuse.

"It rained heavily yesterday, but he still went to see you rashly. It seems that you have a very good relationship. I am very curious. You are just a commoner. How did you know His Highness Fulou?"

Indra slowed down and asked something he alone wanted to know.

Jia Ye immediately remembered the fact that he misidentified Fulou, and didn't know how to answer, so he had to say briefly: "...I saw it once before."

After understanding Jia Ye's silent character, Indra understood that the acquaintance between Jia Ye and Fulou was probably not a romantic encounter. He smiled: "I remember you are from Duoling, did you meet in a certain year of worship?" What about it? His Highness Fulou is very playful, and he should have made friends when he sneaked out."

As long as you don't say anything, Indra will definitely not be suspicious, and Jia Ye followed his meaning and said: "Yes."

"Starting today, you have to study with His Royal Highness Fulou, but it is only temporary. In the future, entering the Guards requires excellent swordsmanship and physical fitness. Only years of training can you be qualified to shoulder the task of protecting the royal family. Although it is peacetime, war It may explode at any time. What I mean by this is to remind you to recognize your ambitions, and from now on, give up the idea of ​​returning to your hometown to visit your relatives. You also know that the treatment of the guards is not bad, so do a good job."

Soon, his thoughts turned to other problems.Kaya breathed a sigh of relief.

"...Yes, Indra, my lord."

"By the way, I still need to take some etiquette classes in the evening. I will ask the instructor to explain it to you alone. You stay here for a while. When the swordsmanship teacher arrives, you can go over."

At this time, walking into a wide courtyard, Indra went to the other side of the corridor.

There are huge lotus ponds built on both sides of the courtyard, and there are many bright red carps in it. It is a pleasing garden landscape, but is it really possible to practice swords here?The pampered prince of Fulou, can you practice well?After staying in the rural environment for a long time, Jia Ye was not used to suddenly coming to such a luxurious palace.

He didn't stand for long when a guard with a different dress came from the courtyard. He didn't have a cloak. He was about [-] years old. He was wearing tight-fitting underwear, with a military rank on his chest and a sword at his waist. Kaye guessed that it was because The swordsmanship teacher that Tuo Luo said came.This kind of straight-hilted sword seems to come from the East, combined with Western swordsmanship, and its shape has undergone some changes. In the past ten years, it has become the main weapon of many small countries on this continent, and it is also a compulsory course for members of the royal family. I have heard about it, and I know the general method. I don't know if Fulou's playful nature can practice swords?

"Kaya!"

Just as he was imagining, the voice of Fulou calling for him sounded in his ears again.His attire was almost the same as his. He took off his cloak for sword practice, and he didn't wear the heavy jewelry on his body. The floating building appeared in front of him refreshingly.

The fencing teacher is also a bodyguard, he first knelt down in front of Fulou, and then slowly stood up.Jia Ye also followed him to kneel down, but was immediately pulled up by Fulou.

The teacher had obviously heard that Prince Fulou had an attendant, and he specially prepared two wooden swords suitable for smaller boys, but he didn't expect that Jia Ye looked very tall, so he had to wrong him Take the slightly shorter wooden sword.He immediately began to explain today's content, Jia Ye was attracted away, Fulou still looked casual, and his eyes were still fixed on Jia Ye.

The swordsmanship teacher's voice stopped, and he had finished speaking some brief content.Fulou said to him, "It's so big, finally someone can practice sword with me, can you let us practice first?"

The other party nodded helplessly.However, at this time, Jia Ye was analyzing what the teacher said just now. He was holding the sword in his hand. His posture was not formal, but his wrist was very strong. According to the teacher's explanation just now, Jia Ye swung his wooden sword towards a low hedgerow .

It's just a wooden sword.

However, this strong gust of wind split the hedgerow facing it into two, completely deforming it!It suddenly appeared in the middle of a row of neat tree walls.

... This is clearly sabotage!The swordsmanship teacher let out a dumbstruck cry.

"You know swordsmanship!? Jia Ye, why have I never heard of you! So you are so powerful." Fulou walked up to investigate the horror of the bush wall.

Jia Ye's internal strength and qigong are above ordinary people. Although he is also the type who studies hard, he can see that he is very talented. Fulou clapped his hands at him, and suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked questions.

"Jia Ye, where did you learn it? Or, did you learn it by yourself? How did you do it?"

Jia Ye couldn't explain it either. He had such a talent since he was a child, and he probably ignored it himself.

"...Stop playing, hold the sword properly."

Jia Ye stared at the current appearance of Fulou, his wooden sword had been thrown to the ground long ago.Fulou quickly scratched his head, turned back to pick it up, and stuck out his tongue at Jia Ye.

"Let's practice, but leave me alone."

Kaya took a deep breath and nodded.

Fulou held the sword like he got a toy, and under the guidance of his swordsmanship teacher, he finally held it firmly.

He said he was going to compete, but Jia Ye didn't dare to use any strength at all. He held all his breath and used the lightest strength to fight. When he swung wrongly, he bumped into Fulou's eyes. He was a little nervous again, afraid to see more You will be completely lost at a glance.

The face that resembles Dasha like that makes Jiaye fall into serious self-entanglement. He will do everything and every word according to Fulou's will, even though he is originally a subordinate, his heart , but also took all this as compensation for Dasha, and gave all the energy and time to Prince Fulou, who gradually responded to more words and smiled from time to time. The two got along well and were inseparable like friends.

Years go by in a hurry, and youth is fleeting.

Just like in the folklore tales of chivalrous men, one advances, one retreats, one retreats, and the interlacing sound of kicking footsteps and sharp sword blades can be heard in the courtyard. In the shadow of swords and swords, there are two handsome men holding swords. .Many pink and tender summer flowers have bloomed in the lotus pond in early summer, and the lotus branches are shaken by the breeze.

The slender figure and fair-skinned Prince Fulou could already hold the sword and swing it freely.Although he has practiced a few tricks, he still loses to his opponent. Prince Fulou is always accompanied by an attendant with superb swordsmanship and body skills, who rarely meets an opponent. Jia Ye's name has long been known in the palace.

Fulou pretended to make a move, but was broken by a sword. He pretended to be flustered and swayed towards the lotus pond with clear eyes.

The man in front of him who was pressing every step of the way immediately withdrew his hands and backed away with an evasive expression.

"You're distracted again, Kaye, I'm teasing you."

Jia Ye will never see through Fulou's pitiful little trick, and he will always be really worried.This time, he still fell for the trick, and Fulou took advantage of this sword to swing away again, and was immediately blocked by the responsive Jia Ye.I don't know when, the weapons used by the two of them when practicing swords have changed from wooden swords to slightly blunt iron swords, and then to thinner sharp long swords.Jia Ye always followed the rhythm of Fulou and let him make moves.However, that momentary look in his eyes really disturbed his heart.

As if he was being teased too much during sword practice and resisted, the next moment, Jia Ye made a serious move.

Several aggressive attacks forced Fulou back to the edge of the lotus pond. This time, he was really on the verge of falling. With a wave of his left hand, he accidentally sharpened the opponent's sword.

"……what!"

At this moment, Jia Ye knew how to measure, and when he came back to his senses, a pair of big hands had already taken the floating building back into his arms.

The two swords were thrown out almost simultaneously.Fulou's light-colored short hair was illuminated by the sun, shining brightly against the clear water and lotus leaves.

Lost again.Jia Ye hugged him and walked a few steps towards the middle of the courtyard to avoid falling into the pool.

"Are you OK?"

Fulou looked at him in pain, and Jiaye let go of his arms.Fulou carried half of her body on her back, and naturally hid her palm. "……hand."

Jia Ye stepped forward apologetically, but did not dare to make a move easily, "...Let me take a look."

Fulou uttered □□, sucked in the cold air and held his palm, almost holding back tears.

"Uh... ah... it hurts."

"I'll call the doctor and call it a day."

Jia Ye frowned, not knowing what to do, and ran to the corridor in the palace in two or three steps, but the floating building caught up and blocked the way.

"You refused to let me today, knowing that I can't beat you at all."

He lowered his head and complained.

Jia Ye supported his shoulders and sat on the bench in the courtyard, his eyes were full of worry, his voice was extremely gentle, he held Fulou's arm, lowered his head to see the injury first, "Don't move around, it's me No mistake, I accidentally..."

At this time, Fulou lowered his head and snickered like a smile through tears.

"Jia Ye, I just scratched my skin slightly."

Jia Ye stood up immediately, nervous because of the close distance just now.

"You...pretending to be so serious?"

Seeing that Jia Ye regained his composure so quickly, Fu Loubai was happy, and really thought he was too worried about himself.

"You won't, are you angry?"

Fulou sighed, pulled the hem of his clothes, and stood up.

"No."

Jia Ye answered him with a cold face, pursed his lips, and eased his expression again.

Fulou was behind him, poking Kaye's back with his elbow.

"For the sake of my injury, you can always agree to go shopping with me, right? Jia Ye."

Kaye shook his head as if accepting his fate.

"...You don't want to practice swords, but you are teasing me?"

Although she lost the vivaciousness when she was young, she still likes to tease others when she grows up, especially herself. Jia Ye also doesn't understand, under Fulou's cheerful expression, she can sometimes pretend to be sad and pitiful, what on earth is she thinking.

Although he was often puzzled, he was not angry at all. After a while, he returned to his usual gentleness towards the floating building.
