Trying to keep clean every day

In the distance, someone called and asked, "Will you return this porridge tomorrow?"

The little Taoist replied enthusiastically: "Yes, of course, don't worry, ma'am, we will come for many days in a row until we help everyone get through this disaster year together."

Shen Xuan frowned, from this point of view, this Lingyun temple looks like a good identity.

But looking back at Duan Xiao's icy side face, it was obvious that Duan Xiao didn't like this place.

Since Duan Xiao didn't like it, Shen An didn't stay any longer and took Duan Xiao to buy daily necessities.

Every time Shen An takes Duan Xiao out for shopping, he is very excited, no matter what kind of shops he passes by, he always wants to buy something for Duan Xiao.When I go shopping with Duan Xiao, I can't control my desire to buy things.

He really liked Duan Xiao very much, he had to admit it.

"Look at this, do you like it, my brother is rich."

Like a rich man.

Duan Xiao forced a smile on his face: "Senior Brother Shen, what you took is a box of face powder. I don't know what I should do with it if you bought it for me."

"Forehead......"

Hearing this, Shen An secretly put down Zhu Chai hidden in the other hand.

"Then, let's go, let's go to the next one."

Duan Xiao seemed to have seen through Shen An's thoughts, he grabbed Shen An and said, "Do you really want to spend money?"

Shen Shen thought for a while: "Well, I'm just simple, and I really want to spend money."

All Shen An's current money is fraudulently obtained from Canghai Pavilion. He estimates that Canghai Pavilion will soon find out that the family heirloom emerald key has been lost, and by then there will definitely be no money to spend.

"I think that squandering should be done as early as possible."

Duan Xiao thinks so.

He thought for a while: "It's just that even if you buy this street, you won't be able to squander much money. There are only a few dozen streets in Canghai Pavilion."

That's so boring, Shen An wants to do something big.

Duan Xiao seemed to have read his mind: "Quanbao Auction House, maybe we can get one or two interesting things."

"However, the news there is well-informed, and all auctions will be archived. I am afraid that after going there once, the token you cheated will be recovered by Canghai Pavilion."

Shen Hu smiled: "Then you will get one vote back."

Duan Xiao is very familiar with this area of ​​Yongzhou. He grew up here when he was a child, and this is half of his hometown.

Soon, Duan Xiao found the entrance of the auction house in a state of silence.Because the auction house often auctions some obscure things, such occasions cannot be put on the bright side, and ordinary people usually have no chance to touch them.

If Duan Xiao hadn't told him, Shen An wouldn't have known there was such a place here.

The entrance was a very inconspicuous pharmacy, and Shen An and Duan Xiao were stopped as soon as they reached the door.

"Do you know where this is?"

Facing the provocation, Shen Han was full of confidence: "Where to spend money."

That person didn't intend to embarrass him, he just pretended to intimidate, so as to dissuade those who entered by mistake.Shen Xuan was good-looking, and the black-clothed boy beside him also looked very dignified, and he immediately burst into a smile when he showed Shen Xuan's [-]-strong temper.

Who wouldn't welcome money.

He even said a few words of welcome: "Please come in quickly, please come in quickly, if you are far away, welcome, if you are far away, welcome."

"The two came at the right time. We haven't started for a long time. It's just in time for today. There will definitely be a highlight."

Under the guidance of the attendants, they first went to register after entering the door, then paid a deposit, and received a wooden plate with a number, according to which they could find their location.

Walking through the simple aisle, Fang? See the real luxury.

It looks like the design of a tea house, but in fact it has a hidden hole in it. There are no scattered seats, all are private rooms, and there is a waiter standing outside each private room. When you want to bid, just tell the waiter the price.

There is no opening yet, so there are no exhibits on the suspended display stand, only curvaceous exotic girls are dancing.The smoke curled up from the mouth of the golden animal ornament in the audience, and the masked boy played the guqin behind the smoke.

Soon, the auction started as scheduled.

The first exhibit was a sword, which was already very much in demand.

Duan Xiao raised his head slightly, glanced at it, and shook his head, Shen Han probably already knew what kind of scrap metal it was.

Shen An didn't have any idea about weapons, and he took over the spiritual treasures, but he put them aside, and the tattered copper sword on the stage naturally didn't appeal to him.

Duan Xiao added: "When you practiced swords in Zhehua Mountain Villa, those iron swords that you casually threw in the sword sect, if they can be auctioned, at least one hundred of the swords on the stage can be exchanged."

Shen Hu was dumbfounded.

He felt that his skills did not rely on weapons, and he sighed:

"I always feel that my practice of Fufeng swordsmanship has nothing to do with the kind of weapon I wield. A sword cut like mud and a dead branch picked up at random seem to have the same effect in my hands, and so do you. Is that so?"

Duan Xiao shook his head: "That's because you didn't intend to kill someone."

Then some weapons were auctioned sporadically, which made the two of them lose interest, and almost suspected that they had come to the wrong place.

The second round was a bit better, a lot of herbs were auctioned, and Shen An got some medicines to dispel cold, treat trauma, strengthen muscles and bones, anyway, some random things.

More and more medicinal materials were introduced later, and Shen An was too lazy to listen to their introductions. Anyway, the medicinal materials he wanted the most could not be bought here, so he had no specific purpose.

Shen An feels that medicinal materials will always be used, no matter what, shoot first and then talk.

They didn't shoot anything in the first round, but drank a lot of expensive tea.

The more they stopped taking pictures, the more excited the waiter next to him was. Based on his many years of work experience, the two masters sitting in the room were definitely big customers.Nothing in front of you can be seen.Well, the finale of the auction? It's a good thing.

By the second round, the business came.

Although some medicinal materials are rare, they are not necessarily very sought-after, so they are only placed in the second round.But Shen An asked the price at will, just the first bid, and the bid reached a height that no one was willing to continue to increase the price.

There was an uproar in the other rooms.

Later, Shen An shot blindly. He didn't need that much, so he could give some to Hua Wuyu.

Waiters will deliver them one after another as long as they are lined up. Shen An keeps asking for prices, and Duan Xiao quietly arranges the bottles and cans for him.

Duan Xiao yelled for a while, holding an emerald-colored bottle with his white fingers, and his eyes were malicious: "What are you buying this for?"

Shen An took the bottle and bought so many, Duan Xiao helped him sort it out. He didn't know what it was all about. That's it."

Duan Xiao leaned closer to his ear: "Are you using it for yourself?"

"Do you think I'm not enough to please you?"

"I'm very sad."

Do it, is it possible that this is used for fun during such and such times?A touch of crimson pink crept up to Shen Mu's ear.

...Duan Xiao, don't go too far.

Really what to say, the third round of auction was very exciting, selling all kinds of weird story books.

It is said that some are already out of print.

Listen to how it was introduced: "The artist of this "Lan Fang Treasure Mirror" has passed away. It is a unique copy, but his eclectic brushwork will surely become a treasure handed down from generation to generation."

"The protagonists of this "Stealing a Floating Life" are seven people, and the seven people drew 49 scenes, treasure, treasure."

"..."

Shen silent:?

Why is it suddenly filled with smog? Is the underground cultural life here so rich?

Of course, Shen An definitely didn't take pictures of these weird things, and Duan Xiao beside him could not wait to take Shen An away immediately.

Barely waited until the last round, a pair of ruby ​​pendants, the rubies are beautiful.Moreover, it is said that these are a pair of gemstones blessed by Biyi Xianjun, implying that the two will last forever.

Photographing this pair of gems is not in vain.

He hadn't met an opponent before, and finally got something he really wanted, but he just ran into someone to compete with him.

After several rounds of bidding, Shen An directly offered a sky-high price.

The other party seems to have a lot of background, and has never been frustrated in spending money. He is not popular, so he directly put down his card, very arrogant:

"I'd like to see who is competing with me for this pair of pendants. Is there a more valuable identity than this?"

The waiter picked up the badge, it was the young master of the Prince's Mansion, and half of the treasury belonged to his family.

From the eyes of the onlookers, there was nothing to argue about.

Shen An hesitated for a while, and then showed his emerald key. Most of the people sitting in the venue were playboys, no one knew what it meant, and no one knew what it meant.

The owner of the auction house glanced at it, but didn't take it seriously, suddenly raised his head and looked again, shocked in place.

In the end, Shen An naturally got the pair of gem pendants, and the young master of the Prince's Mansion was gently invited out, without knowing what the other party was up to along the way.

Shen An was still thinking about the little fox at home, so he didn't linger too long, and returned with a full load with Duan Xiao.

? Pushing open the courtyard door, Xuehu was already obediently squatting at the door waiting for him.

The snow fox's limbs have also grown fluff, leaving only a black face without hair.Xuehu drank water by the bamboo basket, and was so ugly by himself.

After putting down the things and putting on his own pendant, Shen An took the worn pendant and pulled off Duan Xiao's collar, making sure he put it on.

The bright red gems made Duan Xiao's chest even fairer: "It's very beautiful."

***

Strange to say, that night, Shen An had a nightmare while wearing the blessed pendant.

He dreamed about Zhehua Villa, the master who was the head of the sect, and Duan Xiao.In the dream, Duan Xiao's physical condition suddenly took a turn for the worse.

Because it was a dream, Master and his elders only had an outline, but their eyebrows were not so clear.

The master sighed, under the gray eyebrows were cloudy old eyes, his expression was far away, but his tone was frivolous that shouldn't be at this age, mocking himself and the world: "Master, the old man is really far-sighted. Embracing the snow, dying with incense sticks on the branches, gone carefree, leaving a messy world."

Shen An has never seen Zhehua Mountain Villa flourish for a while, but the current situation, the rumors and rumors that spread to his ears before going up the mountain have not stopped.What kind of strange obscene demon sect has no sense of shame, commits all kinds of evil, and the world is good at rumors, isn't it just a messy world.

The secret of the ethereal body leaked out, but no matter what, "Master will definitely protect you."

The head of the sect is always smiling, desolate and powerful, thinking of the bleak ending of Zhehua Villa in the book, Shen An couldn't bear it in his heart, "Master, tell me the story of the ancestor."

Zhehua Villa never lacks stories.

For a long time to come, Shen An still didn't think about cultivation, and the sect leader didn't mention it.

At dusk and dusk, Shen An would come to listen to a story, and at the beginning of the Xinghe River they would each leave.

The headmaster said whatever came to mind, from ghosts and snake gods to anecdotes, there were many trivia about his predecessors' lives mixed in, and the ancestors back then and the young uncle Xu Guiwen were mentioned the most.And that senior brother who always occupied the master's entire morning has passed away without a single word being mentioned.

Since it is a story, it is natural to tell stories with happy endings.But today’s paragraph, the ending is really not good, the master said choked up:

"The ancestor traveled to Xiling, picked up a sword and questioned Luoxue."

"Sealing new mud with old wine in his hand, he was so drunk, he asked whether the peach blossoms would be discounted or not?"

"Asking, the branches are covered with heavy snow in three springs."

"In this way, he passed away."

The people living in Xiling are the gods believed in by this world, and it is said that snow destroying peach blossoms is a divine metaphor.Today's story came to an abrupt end here. After walking out of the Shangshang Hall, it was getting late and it was time to go back.

Shen Shen is used to the passage of time in the story, but unexpectedly he is in the play now, the sadness in his eyes makes him feel in a trance, the mottled starlight shines on his thin jawline through the slanted branches and leaves, giving him a kind of downcast look .The whole expression fell into the eyes of the young man outside the corridor.

Day after day, Duan Xiao waited for him here and walked back with him.

Walking forward, it was even more dewy. The young man had stood for a long time, and his body was covered with cold air.After so many days, thinking about it silently, even an elm-headed man can figure it out, after what happened, Duan Xiao was protecting him.If it wasn't because Shen An couldn't remember what he said, he wouldn't be able to react now.

Duan Xiao took it seriously when he used to talk nonsense and didn't dare to act alone.

What's the use of reacting, it's better to be kept in the dark, Shen Shen is even more distressed.The official partner has already begun to show his favor, so will the blackening be far behind?

Absent-minded and speechless all the way.Suddenly, he heard the boy next to him cough twice, his voice muffled and heavy, and it sounded very uncomfortable.

The road under the corridor was relatively dark, the surrounding vegetation almost covered the starlight, the two of them didn't turn on the lights, Shen An turned his head to look at Duan Xiao, Duan Xiao's pale right hand was covered by his lips, he coughed a few times, and deliberately avoided Shen Mo gaze.

Shen An didn't see anything clearly, and was too embarrassed to keep staring, and the two continued to walk.

The smoke cage perched on the door, and when he opened the door silently, Duan Xiao staggered a few times, his legs were shaking below his knees, and he was about to fall forward when he wobbled.Shen An hurriedly helped him, his thin body was lighter than expected, but it was cold to the bone.

Shen An helped the man to the couch, lit the lamp, and saw clearly the little blood remaining at the corner of the boy's mouth.Without any explanation, he opened the boy's tightly clenched right hand, the palm of his hand was bright red, it was the blood that was not yet dry.

There was a fluster, and the silent heart suddenly became confused. Why did he vomit blood and pass out?

At this moment, the bloody right hand suddenly grasped Shen Mu's hand tightly, interlocking his fingers, and pulled him to his side.The palms were cold and sticky, and the dark red liquid flowed down the place where the two palms met to the dull white wrists.

Duan Xiao, who was delirious, opened his mouth in pain, Senbai's teeth were stained with blood, and exhaled in Shen Mu's ear:

"Promise me, don't leave me behind—"

Eyes full of shocking blood, and Duan Xiao's weak pleading in his ears, he was silent in a big dream and suddenly woke up with a cold sweat on his back.

It turned out that Duan Xiao's illness had already begun to show signs when he was in Zhehua Villa, and Shen An blamed himself a little.

Now, fortunately, Duan Xiao is still lying beside him, and there is no big bloodstain.

He touched Duan Xiao's forehead, it was cool.

Duan Xiao must have been cold all the time, Shen An poured him into his arms, warming him with body temperature.

"I won't leave you, never will."

Duan Xiao didn't sleep deeply, especially when Shen Mu hugged him, he woke up immediately, but he kept pretending to be asleep when he heard Shen Mu's words.

He believed in everything Hua Wuyu told him, he believed in the silent promise.

He told himself, don't worry about it anymore, don't worry about gain or loss again.Everything will be fine, Duan Xiao began to look forward to the tomorrow of him and Shen Han.No matter how indifferent he is to these two rubies during the day, he is now willing to believe in the blessings of Bizyi Xianjun.

But why, I'm already a blessed person, but I'm still so cold.

Things that Duan Xiao couldn't control still happened, his body temperature was getting lower and lower, even if Shen Han hugged him tightly, it was useless.

Duan Xiao couldn't continue pretending to be asleep, tears fell from the corners of his eyes, and they were cold.

It was the first time he had cried while awake.

His chills came back again.

He really couldn't make any promises to Shen Han.
