Yin Lizhou only finished a bowl of porridge before putting down his chopsticks.

"Are you full?" Shan Mingxiu asked him.

"Yeah." Yin Lizhou nodded obediently and smiled at him.

When he turned his head, he found Fu Li who was sitting opposite him glanced at him, his eyes were serious and sharp as usual, as if he could see through everything.The smile on Yin Lizhou's face froze for a moment, then he lowered his head.

He recalled the scene at the inn that day.

Waking up with injuries all over his body, he didn't know who he was or where he was. The only person he could trust was Shan Mingxiu.

So, he summoned up the courage to grab Shan Mingxiu's sleeve, wanting him to take him with him.

Shan Mingxiu stopped in his tracks because of his words, was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Fu Li.

Fu Li stopped at the door without even turning around, as if he was waiting for Shan Mingxiu to make his own decision.

Shan Mingxiu turned his head, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Where is your home? We can send you back first."

"Can not remember."

"Who are the parents?"

Yin Lizhou shook his head.

"What's your name?"

Yin Lizhou clenched Shan Mingxiu's sleeves tighter and fell silent.

Shan Mingxiu paused, raised his hand and gently touched his head, as if he had made up his mind, he turned to Fu Li and said, "Master, I..."

Fu Li didn't turn around, his eyes fell on the door empty, his tone was flat, no emotion could be heard.

"It's been a long journey, and he's covered in injuries. It's the best choice to cultivate here."

Hearing the words, Shan Mingxiu looked at Yin Lizhou, a bit of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but when he saw the tearful eyes of the child, he sighed slightly and insisted: "The disciple is willing to carry him to Luanchuan."

Fu Li turned his head and glanced at him indifferently, then replied, "As you wish." Then he walked out.

Shan Mingxiu leaned over slightly, looked at Yin Lizhou on the bed, and asked again: "It's really decided?"

Yin Lizhou nodded immediately, and replied without hesitation: "Yes."

Yin Lizhou lay on Shan Mingxiu's back, his body was stiff and aching, but he slowed down his breathing cautiously, not daring to move.

He knew that he had delayed many trips because of himself.

Just like now, as soon as it got dark, Shan Mingxiu lowered his sword and went to find a nearby house with him behind his back, planning to stay overnight so that he could have a good rest.

But this place is too remote, Shan Mingxiu recited him for a long time before finally seeing a family.

So he quickened his pace immediately.

Yin Lizhou leaned on his back and heard Shan Mingxiu's breathing gradually getting heavier.

I feel a little uneasy in my heart, has he become sinking again?

That family lived with a young couple and their two children.

The husband and wife were very enthusiastic, welcomed them in, and arranged meals for them on the stone table in the courtyard.

Seeing that Yin Lizhou had been staying inside the house, Shan Mingxiu came in and called him.

Yin Lizhou sat on the bed, looked tired, and whispered: "I'm not hungry, can I go to bed first?"

Hearing this, Shan Mingxiu raised his hand to touch his forehead, with a bit of worry in his voice, "I haven't eaten much these days, is it still uncomfortable?"

Yin Lizhou shook his head hastily, "No, I'm just sleepy."

Shan Mingxiu thought that it would be hard work for Yin Lizhou to guard the sword with them during the day, so he stopped talking and helped him take off his shoes and socks, covered him with a quilt, and then went out.

Yin Lizhou was lying on the bed, tossing and turning several times, but couldn't fall asleep, his stomach was empty, and there was a "cuckoo" sound from time to time.

Yin Lizhou was afraid of being heard, so he curled up his body and buried his head deeply in the quilt.

After a while, I was a little out of breath.

He poked his head out to take a breath, but heard voices from outside.

The man and Fu Li were chatting, the children were running and playing, and... Shan Mingxiu's smile.

Yin Lizhou froze for a moment.

Shan Mingxiu is calm no matter what, it seems that this is the first time he has heard him laugh like this.

After hesitating for a while, Yin Lizhou couldn't help but sat up and looked out through the gap in the window.

A woman in an apron came out of the kitchen with a pottery bowl, put the bowl on the table, and called the two children to her.

"What kind of noodle is this?" Shan Mingxiu seemed quite interested.

"Vegetarian noodles. These two little boys in my family are very picky, so they like to eat the noodles I made. But the food is expensive, so how can they eat it every day, so they make a bowl on their birthdays. And they are twins, and their birthdays In a day, cooking a bowl is enough."

The woman said, letting the two children sit on one side.She took the chopsticks and fed each of them in one bite.

The two children scrambled to eat sweetly.

Yin Lizhou looked at them, for some reason he felt astringent in his heart, and there was a hint of envy in his eyes unconsciously.

I don't know if his gaze was too obvious, but Shan Mingxiu seemed to have sensed it, and looked sideways into the room.

Seeing this, Yin Lizhou quickly lowered his head and shrank his body.

It should not have been discovered, Yin Lizhou thought.

Day two.

When Yin Lizhou woke up, it was just dawn.

There was hot water in the basin inside the house, he went out after washing, and saw Shan Mingxiu practicing sword in the courtyard.

There is a dark red pottery bowl on the stone table in the courtyard.

Yin Lizhou approached, it was a bowl of plain noodles.

Slender noodles lie neatly in a bowl, covered with a layer of clear soup, in which lies a soft-boiled poached egg, topped with finely chopped green onions and chili flakes.

The faint aroma penetrated into the nostrils, and Yin Lizhou's stomach immediately let out a growl.

Just as I was wondering who did it, the door of the main room was pushed open.The woman came out with a basin of water and poured it into the courtyard.

Seeing Yin Lizhou standing there staring at the bowl of noodles in a daze, he greeted him with a smile, "What are you doing in a daze? Eat quickly."

"For me?" Yin Lizhou raised his head in surprise.

"Yes, your brother gave me a tael of silver last night to buy a lot of flour, saying that you haven't had any appetite recently and wanted to make you a bowl of noodles. I said I didn't need so much, but he insisted on giving it. People. Then I asked him if he would meet? He shook his head. He learned from me for a long time last night. He got up early this morning to start a fire and cook, and he didn’t let me help. Your brother looked like a child of a rich family. How could it be like that, I burned several bubbles on my hands to make such a bowl..."

Yin Lizhou was stunned.

Turning to look at Shan Mingxiu.

Shan Mingxiu had put away his sword and walked towards him with his hands behind his back.

"I didn't eat anything yesterday, so I must be hungry." Shan Mingxiu said.

Yin Lizhou's lips trembled slightly, he quickly lowered his head, and sat down holding the bowl.

The warmth flowed into the body along the palm, and a cloud of water vapor formed in front of his eyes.

He tried to open his eyes wide to look at Shan Mingxiu's hand.

But he kept his back behind him and couldn't see anything.

Yin Lizhou knew that he didn't want to worry himself, so he took the chopsticks, picked up the noodles and stuffed them into his mouth, filling his cheeks, and started to eat.

"Is it delicious?" He heard Shan Mingxiu's slightly nervous voice.

"Delicious." Yin Lizhou swallowed the noodles in his mouth, and as soon as he opened his mouth, big tears fell into the bowl.

Afraid of being discovered by Shan Mingxiu, he hurriedly lowered his head even lower.

Holding the bowl in his arms, Yin Lizhou ate the noodles with great care, and there was not even soup left.

After eating, he put the bowl on the table, raised his hand and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and smiled contentedly at Shan Mingxiu.

"Thank you brother."

Shan Mingxiu was stunned for a moment because of his elder brother, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he raised his hand to stroke his hair.

"No thanks!"

As the memories dissipated, Yin Lizhou's slightly dazed eyes became clear again.

He looked at the steaming plain noodles on the table.

There was a bit of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

Could it be that Shan Mingxiu only used this trick to buy people's hearts?

It's the same for him, and it's the same for the fool now.

The move has been used for a hundred years, and there is nothing new.

Thinking of this, Yin Lizhou's eyes darkened, and with a flick of his hand, the bluish-white porcelain bowl fell down, and the soup and water spilled all over the floor.

He raised his foot expressionlessly and was about to step out across the messy ground, but he saw Shan Mingxiu standing in front of the door at some point.
