Then I saw a small house, alone on one side of the yard.

That's where the sound came from.

Yin Lizhou stepped lightly and walked towards the door.

The door was unlocked, and was slightly ajar, revealing a narrow gap.

Yin Lizhou looked inward, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

He hesitated for a moment, then reached out and opened the door.

Although I tried my best to be careful, the wooden door still made a slight "squeak".

The voice inside immediately fell silent.

Yin Lizhou closed the door, took out a torch from his pocket and lit it.

The room instantly lit up.

Only then did Yin Lizhou realize that this is a kitchen.

In front of him was a large chopping board with various vegetables and a plate of cold steamed buns on it. Inside was a pitch-black stove.

Yin Lizhou turned around, but saw no one.

He felt that the movement just now should be caused by the mouse stealing something, so he didn't intend to waste any more time here.

However, just as he was about to go out, he heard an extremely slight breathing sound.

Yin Lizhou's footsteps stopped, his ears moved slightly, and he turned around abruptly.

Then he saw a piece of white cloth under the chopping board flash back quickly.

Yin Lizhou took a step towards the chopping board, then bent down to look inside.

Then he saw a man.

The man's black hair was messed up on his shoulders, and it seemed that he hadn't combed it for a long time.He was wearing a rough white linen jacket, which looked like a servant's clothes.His legs were slightly curled up, and blood was still oozing from his pants.His head was buried in his lap, as if he was afraid.

Yin Lizhou's eyes fell on his hand, which was tightly holding a steamed bun, and he just took a few bites.

Yin Lizhou felt a little strange, this person did not come from a wealthy background at first glance, but he had a pair of hands that were clearly pampered.The knuckles are slender and white, as white as jade, but there are many small scars on them, and there is a bruise around the wrist, which seems to be the trace of being tied up.

Yin Lizhou guessed that he should be Bi Ange's servant, and came here to steal a steamed bun when he didn't have enough to eat at night, but he was frightened by himself.

So he whispered: "Little brother, you can eat, I won't tell others."

When the man heard his voice, he suddenly raised his head, but it was only for a moment, and he seemed to think of something, and immediately buried his head back.

But in that short moment, Yin Lizhou was still able to see clearly that it was Ling Shu's face.

He and Shan Mingxiu have been looking for Ling Shu for a long time.

right in front of him.

The flames in front of his eyes trembled slightly, and Yin Lizhou thought he was delusional.

He would rather be dazzled by himself.

How could it be Ling Shu?

He has always been high-spirited and high-spirited, how could he be so embarrassed.

Yin Lizhou's throat rolled slightly, and he called out tentatively, "Ling Shu?"

The man shook his body violently, but did not move.

Yin Lizhou squatted down, leaned forward, and grabbed his wrist.

The fire folder in his hand shook violently with his movements, and went out quickly.

The house fell into darkness again.

The darkness seemed to give him a sense of security, the man finally raised his head, and with Yin Lizhou's strength, he walked out with difficulty.

Yin Lizhou couldn't see his face clearly, but he could roughly guess his current appearance, and his voice was difficult, "Did you do it?"

After a while, Ling Shu made a sound.

The previous arrogance and arrogance were gone in the voice, only the pretending to be relaxed, "I owe him."

Hearing this, Yin Lizhou frowned fiercely, "What's going on?"

Before Ling Shu could speak, a long "goo" sounded first.

Ling Shu rubbed his belly in embarrassment, lowered his head and bit the steamed bun in his hand, and said vaguely: "It's a long story..."

It took Yin Lizhou a long time to recover after listening to this long and complicated story.

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

I don't even know where to start to comfort me.

After a long time, he hesitated and asked: "Buyu clearly said that he rescued Shihuan, why did I hear that she still died in that fire?"

Ling Shu sighed softly in silence, and replied: "I probably blamed myself for the fault of that night, so after waking up, I went into the flames again to accompany my parents. She has always been very timid. , I didn’t expect to be bold that time.”

Yin Lizhou was also uncomfortable hearing that, and quickly changed the subject, "It turns out that the seal of the head of the family is unswerving."

Ling Shu replied, "Yes."

"But he knew you...why did he take away the patriarch's seal? And give it back to you before the seal ceremony?"

Ling Shu replied: "The acceptance ceremony is very important, so he will go through it before the official start. He is probably afraid that I will find out my identity in advance, so he should deal with it early."

"Then those monks who died in Huanyue City?"

"It really has nothing to do with him."

Yin Lizhou nodded when he heard the words, "He really has no reason to kill those monks, it seems that there should be someone else."

Ling Shu replied flatly, "Yes."

Yin Lizhou looked at the sky outside, stood up, took his arm and said, "Ling Shu, why don't you go back to Queyin Mountain with us first, Shan Mingxiu will definitely be able to protect you."

He thought Ling Shu would agree without hesitation, but he didn't make a sound.

Instead, he raised his hand and pulled his arm out of his hand inch by inch.

"I'm not going," he said.

Yin Lizhou only felt that the surprised voice was not his own, so he hurriedly asked, "Why? You..."

What did you look like when you were tortured in Biange?

But he didn't say anything after all.

Ling Shu also seemed to understand what he wanted to say, smiled, his voice was a little rough, "Actually, life is pretty good now."

"Ling Shu."

"You don't have to worry about everything and think so much like before. My head hasn't hurt in a long time. No... the pavilion master gave me a piece of land to grow vegetables. I studied for several days, and then planted radishes , Shihuan likes eating the most, and I really want to see them grow up. Except that the food and clothing are poor, there is nothing wrong with it."

"Is there anything wrong?" Yin Lizhou knelt down and put his hand on his leg.

Then, as expected, Ling Shu groaned.

"The golden elixir has been taken, and I have no spiritual power. I'm covered in wounds. I'm hungry until midnight to steal steamed buns. Isn't that a bad thing? Ling Shu, you..."

"Stop calling me Ling Shu!"

Before Yin Lizhou could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

Ling Shu also seemed to feel that his words were too serious, so he smiled flatteringly and lowered his voice, "You know, my surname is not Ling."

Yin Lizhou felt that his chest was tightly blocked, and he couldn't speak a word.

"I've been calling you a fool before. I'm sorry, but you're not stupid at all. You really can't believe the rumors. And thank you. I always treat you coldly, but you still come to find me. Thank you so much , Du Xiu."

Yin Lizhou suppressed his emotions and replied, "No thanks!"

Ling Shu took a bite out of the steamed bun, "Actually, I didn't lie to you, life is a little bit hard now, but it's quite peaceful. My mother and I owe so much to the Ling family. Since she's gone, let's Let me atone for it."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Yin Lizhou couldn't say anything more.

The house fell silent for a while.

It was Ling Shu who spoke first, "It's getting late, you go back quickly, if you stay any longer, you will be discovered."

Yin Lizhou took a deep breath and nodded, "Okay, take care."

After finishing speaking, he took one last look at him and walked out.

He just opened the door, when he suddenly heard a slightly regretful voice from behind, "Du Xiu, if we had known each other earlier, maybe we could have become friends."

Yin Lizhou turned his head.

In the darkness, he couldn't see Ling Shu's face clearly, but the trial from a hundred years ago appeared in front of his eyes.

He sucked the poisoned blood for Ling Shu, and carried him on the way down the mountain.

The proud young man lowered his head for the first time, and whispered in his ear: "Thank you this time, from now on, you will be my friend."

Yin Lizhou turned his head and smiled at him, and replied, "Okay!"

However, after a hundred years, they could only bid farewell.

Facing the darkness in front of him, Yin Lizhou smiled, and said silently, "It has been for a long time."

After speaking, he turned and left.
