old grace

Xie Qinghe was holding the boiling spring water, and in the tray was the medicinal powder for healing wounds, in order to bind Shu Hanyun's wounds.

But there are some things that can be considered in secret with a whimsical thought, once it is put on the surface, each other knows the other's intention, and the actions that usually feel normal suddenly become meaningful.

Shu Hanyun blushed and stretched out his hands to untie the belt of his deep clothes, Xie Qinghe put down the tray of medicines, looked up and saw the half-exposed shoulders of his junior brother——

It's not a girl in a boudoir, when will the senior brothers not go to the deep stream to play in the water in summer?I've seen bare buttocks before, but it's a fart to show your shoulders!

but.

Shu Hanyun was shy, and Xie Qinghe followed suit for no reason.

It seems that those half-exposed shoulders are really a bit... Cough, embarrassing.

Xie Qinghe also didn't want to urge his junior brother.

There were only two medicine powders in the tray, and a piece of clean cotton cloth scalded in boiling water. He just looked at it over and over for a long time.

Finally, when Shu Hanyun took off his clothes slowly, he lost several layers of deep clothes to block him, and the thick smell of blood suddenly leaked out.

Shu Hanyun also knew that he felt sorry for himself. Before being called back to the Feixian Cottage again, he changed into a clean cotton lining in his residence, and randomly sprinkled some medicinal powder on the wound.At this moment, the inner sheet of fine cotton had already been soaked in blood, and it slid down heavily when it was lightly peeled off.

Seeing that the bloody clothes were about to fall on the senior brother's quilt, Shu Hanyun couldn't care less about being shy, and quickly wrapped her arms around her.

"That's it!" Xie Qinghe was surprised, and almost uttered lies to Master.

Shu Hanyun's shoulders and back were covered with welt marks, which were really bruises, showing how ruthless Shangguan Shiyi was when he struck.

In these years, Xie Qinghe has never seen his mentor get angry, and naturally he has never seen his mentor punish him.The skin was slightly torn, which was also caused by the sharpness of the python-skin whip of the younger brother.After all, Shu Hanyun pretended to be too relaxed.

At this time, looking at the thick gash on the junior brother's back, it was as terrifying as being cut open by a sword.

——A sword has a sharp edge, but a whip is a raw scar.The welt marks on Shu Hanyun's back were as thick as a thumb.

It's not about deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors, and there is no deep hatred. Why is there such a thing between master and apprentice?

Shu Hanyun was slightly uncomfortable when he pinched his arm: "Brother, this...doesn't it look bad?"

Xie Qinghe just turned around and took the scalded cotton cloth, wiped the blood on the edge of the wound for him, and said: "It's okay. Are you tired? When you're tired, lie on the senior brother's bed for a while." Thinking of the pale face of the junior brother on the way, Xie Qinghe was secretly glad that he forcibly backed his junior brother for half the time.

Shu Hanyun was wounded, and in his heart was the unexpected surprise that his secret love was exposed, and he actually settled down with the situation. He was really tired after tossing and sitting, and it was not convenient to wash the wound and apply medicine when he was thinking about sitting on the bed of his senior brother like this. , then obediently lay down.

However, after lying down, I feel even worse...

Without clothes, lying on the bed of the elder brother.

He warned himself not to think about it, but he still thought about this and that in the "Sage's Words" several times in his mind.

Shu Hanyun was thinking wildly, while Xie Qinghe, who was scrubbing his wound, pursed his lips, his face was sullen, and he was in a bad mood.

Shangguan Shiyi was originally a man with amazing talent, he looked down on idiots when he was young, and his temperament has not changed when he is old, but he is a deeper city and pretends to be fair, so that it is easy not to let people see it.

Because of this, the four direct disciples under his sect have always only favored Xie Qinghe, and the other three are just make up.

To put it harshly, Shu Hanyun, Li Nanfeng and Chen Yiwei are nothing more than the arms and support Shangguan Shiyi found for Xie Qinghe.Otherwise, in the future, Xie Qinghe will inherit the head of the sect, and he will be the majestic head of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, without even an envoy of status.

——Apprentices from other people's families are the basis for inheriting unique learning and selecting the best from the best. Shangguan Shiyi's apprentice is only Xie Qinghe, and the other three apprentices are all raised for Xie Qinghe to do odd jobs, and their status is completely different.

Xie Qinghe is extremely talented, doesn't follow the rules very much, and likes to talk back to his master, Shangguan Shiyi is always smiling and never scolds.

The ethos of the teacher's school is naturally one learns one, there are senior brothers who "before the jewels and jade", Shu Hanyun and others also like to act like a baby with the master, and Shangguan Shiyi just laughs, is extremely kind and amiable and easy to talk to.

Xie Qinghe realized that his feeling was right when the whip was whipped today.Master is biased.

But what if we know that Master is partial?Could it be possible to force the master to favor the younger brother as much as he favors himself?

Treating a teacher like a father is the natural law and rules of this world.It is also human nature that a loving father does not love a son who is of no benefit.Shangguan Shiyi is partial to Xie Qinghe, just admonish and reprimand Shu Hanyun, who can say he is wrong?He insisted that he is my apprentice and I will beat him, what else can Xie Qinghe do?

This taste is too uncomfortable.

Xie Qinghe had to change two basins of water before scrubbing the wound for his junior brother. The wound was too big, and even the wound medicine in his hand was wiped clean.

He had other ideas about the Qi Huang technique, seeing that the wounds on his junior brother's back were too hideous, the real energy was released and condensed into thin air lines, like sewing needles, "sewing" the wounds together.

Shu Hanyun couldn't stop talking about the itch, and Xie Qinghe fooled him: "The itch is getting better soon."

It took a full two hours to treat Shu Hanyun's wounds one by one.

Seeing the "stitching and mending" of the bloody back that was still bruised and bloody just now, it looked like a human's back at least, Xie Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, and subconsciously put his hands on his junior brother's thin waist.

There is a small dimple on the waist and buttocks of the junior brother, which looks very cute.

Xie Qinghe didn't know what he was thinking, so he leaned over and kissed Shu Hanyun's waist.

Shu Hanyun lay on the ground for two hours and was about to fall asleep. He was suddenly awakened by a strange touch on his waist. The tingling sensation exploded all the way from the tailbone to the top of the head. His face was flushed and he woke up instantly: "Brother!" If you look like this, sooner or later my boyhood skills will be lost!

It was also the first time that Xie Qinghe was so teasing with others, and he was embarrassed to be named, so he had to pretend to be calm, approaching his junior brother with an appearance as steady as a Mount Tai old driver and whispered: "If you are injured today, I won't make trouble for you. Wait Senior Brother came back from the mountain and took off his clothes and trousers, Senior Brother wanted to kiss from head to toe."

Shu Hanyun likes to be ordered by him, and now that he is so intimate, this coercive and shameful order seems more exciting, but he couldn't help but asked back: "Just... don't kiss your feet?"

"I just want to know, is it because you argue with your brother every day for your unsightly problem?" Xie Qinghe asked.

Shu Hanyun stretched out his hand to hold his face: "I always listen to Senior Brother."

At this moment, the sky had already darkened, and there was only a little light left in the room. The two of them relied on their superb eyesight after practicing martial arts to see things.

Xie Qinghe thought that it was so late, and there was nothing he could do down the mountain, so why not rest for another night, and then go down the mountain with Master at Feixian Caolu at dawn.

He went to light the lamp, and there was a warm atmosphere of human lights in the room. Thinking of his junior brother still lying on his bed, Xie Qinghe felt more warm and happy: "I will deal with my senior brother tonight, and I will sleep on my senior brother's bed at night. , let’s go tomorrow, okay?”

Shu Hanyun was trying on Xie Qinghe's clothes, but he felt that his brother's body fragrance was everywhere, and he quickly agreed: "Okay." Then he realized, "Master is still waiting for you to go down the mountain together in Feixian Caolu?"

"I'm fast, so I'll go and talk to Master later. I can't do anything if I go down the mountain so late." Xie Qinghe happily went out to the kitchen, "I'll cook the food first, and cook something delicious for you when I come back. "

Like Shangguan Shiyi, Xie Qinghe lives alone and eats alone, not eating in the big kitchen of Sandalwood Xiaozhu.

It is advisable to eat small stoves when you are an official, and there are special outer disciples who are responsible for cooking and delivering them to your door. Xie Qinghe opened a stove at the star observation platform and is in charge of eating.Shangguan Shiyi misunderstood that he was scruples about material matters, and it was not good to ask his fellow disciples to serve and deliver meals. He once took the initiative to order the outer disciples to go to the observatory to cook for him, but Xie Qinghe sternly refused.

——It's not that Xie Qinghe doesn't want to put on airs, and doesn't want to ask his junior to "serve" him, it's just that he thinks that his cooking skills are too poor!

Might as well come by yourself.

Xie Qinghe put the rice out of the shop and put the steamer on the cloth, put the rice cooker on the steamer, let Shu Hanyun watch the fire before leaving, and hurried to Feixian thatched cottage.

Shu Hanyun often comes to eat, and he is very familiar with helping his seniors manage the stove and laying down the hands.There is a high probability that there is no problem with the senior brother steaming the rice, but since the senior brother gave the order, he still dressed slowly and planned to go to the kitchen to watch the fire.

When he went out, he took one more look at Shiyan Mohua on the low bamboo cabinet, and then slowed down.

■

There are no lights in Feixian's cottage, and there is only moonlight in the house.

When Xie Qinghe entered, Shangguan Shiyi was already eating, a dish of Chinese cabbage, a dish of winter bamboo shoots, and a dish of mushrooms.

The Hanjiang Sword School's inner cultivation and outer martial arts, in fact, can't help but be meaty.The main reason why the dignified head eats so plainly is that he is old.Since his 180th birthday, Shangguan Shiyi banned meat and only ate grass.

"Master, it's getting dark today..." Xie Qinghe sat down next to Master, looking for his own wine jar first.

Shangguan Shiyi ate the last few grains of rice in the bowl, wiped his mouth, and said, "Let's go down the mountain tomorrow morning." Then he took out a food box from his side and handed it to Xie Qinghe, "You guys go down the mountain to buy today, let's set up a restaurant in the town The packaged smoked duck, and some marinated vegetarian food."

The head prefers the big brother.This is actually the tacit secret of the Hanjiang Sword Sect.

As the number one sword sect in the world, the Hanjiang Sword Sect is not short of money, not to mention extremely rich.Except for the ignorant little disciples, regardless of whether they have errands or not, the disciples of the inner and outer sects have fixed monthly money. The inner sects are in charge of food and housing, and they also distribute clothes, shoes, weapons, soup and medicine. The pocket money is completely enough.Only Xie Qinghe spent money lavishly, and when he ran out of money, he went to his master to continue spending money from his private house.

In addition to stealing money from the master's private house, Xie Qinghe, who eats small stoves, also finds the master to eat.

It's not that Xie Qinghe deliberately ate and drank.If he has time to go down the mountain, he will go shopping by himself with money.But as a big brother, he has to patrol the mountain eight out of ten days, so the chances of going down the mountain are relatively rare.When Shangguan saw that he liked the dishes of restaurants in the town, he would often order the disciples who went down the mountain to buy food to bring back some food.

It just so happened that Xie Qinghe liked to drink a little wine, so he simply stayed in Feixian Caolu, pretending to "accompany" Master to eat, and left after eating and drinking.

In the past, when Shangguan Shiyi would put out the food, he would eat and chat with Xie Qinghe, but today he handed over a food box directly, obviously it was calculated that Xie Qinghe would not stay for a long time.Xie Qinghe was not hypocritical, he held the wine jar in one hand and the food box in the other: "Thank you, Master."

Facing such a "benevolent teacher", how could he open his mouth and tell him about the tragic whiplash on the back of his junior brother?

Shangguan Shiyi is almost two hundred years old.At his age and experience, is there any reason why he doesn't understand?To be eccentric is nothing more than not avoiding material discussions and following one's heart's desire.The old man is going to be eccentric, what dissatisfaction do you have?

Xie Qinghe did not have any confidence in convincing Master.Even if he said it face to face, there was a high probability that Shangguan Shiyi would not listen.

On the way back to the observatory, Xie Qinghe saw that the grass was slightly frosty under the moonlight, and thought he was delusional.

He wiped his eyes and took a closer look.

The thin green grass on the side of the road is actually covered with ice edges!

Xie Qinghe withdrew the continuous essence from his body, and instantly felt the bone-chilling cold of the winter night in the mountains.

The climate recovered?The magic energy dissipated?

He looked at the lonely full moon hanging in the sky, and always felt that things would not be so simple.

Xie Qinghe hurried back to the observatory, wanting to see what Yan Mohua looked like when he saw Shu Hanyun standing at the door from a distance.He felt strange and asked, "Junior brother, why are you standing here? Isn't it cold?"

Shu Hanyun shivered as if waking up from a dream, and couldn't help rubbing his arms: "It's a little cold."

Seeing that the pool of water in front of him had frozen, Xie Qinghe pulled him back a step: "Did you spill the tea here? The weather is a bit evil, and the flowers and plants outside are all frozen. Go cover yourself under the quilt first. I'll go and have a look at the rice, and get me a brazier."

Shu Hanyun hesitated to speak.

He didn't drink tea, let alone spill the tea on the ground.

The water on the ground...is the water in the pot.

He looked at the Shiyan Demon Flower on the low cabinet.

I don't know when it spilled out.He didn't even know... how long he had been standing here.
