On how abusive essays become sweet essays

You Xuzhi regretted it when he closed the door, didn't he tell Zhang Zuidong that he was peeping? It was still dark in the room, Zhang Zuidong might just glance at him casually, but he didn't do anything What a pity, why be nervous.

You Xuzhi convinced himself in his heart that outside Zhang Zuidong had already put on his clothes and went out with Pu Pingle, You Xuzhi lost sleepiness, put on his coat and went to the back of the house to feed the horses.

"Xiaohong, Xiaohong, do you think I should go or not?" You Xuzhi fed the horse with a handful of fodder, talking to himself, "There are two people in this world, wouldn't it be disturbing for me to follow?" A good thing? Tsk."

But he was really very curious in his heart. To this day, he is still thinking, will things really develop exactly the same as in the script?

"I'll secretly follow behind to have a look." After You Xuzhi said that, he patted the horse and left with brisk steps.

There was a lot of dew in the mountains in the early morning, and the soil on the ground was wet. You Xuzhi quickly found the traces of the two people.

The luxuriant forest and the bamboo are layered on top of each other. The trees and the road are similar in size, so it is easy for people to get lost. You Xuzhi stood on the tall and tall tree trunk, squatting down and watching the two people going around.

With lush foliage, it's a great hiding place.

It is also interesting to see the scenes described in the storybook reenact before your eyes, like predicting the future, but unfortunately the storybook is all about the protagonist's emotional aspects, and mentions very little about other aspects.

The fresh and cool morning breeze blows, and the dawn rises in the sky.

You Xuzhi leaned against the tree trunk and yawned. The two people turned around, and when they came to the tree where he was standing, he rubbed his eyes and half-opened his eyes to listen to the two people below.

"Brother Zhang, I see traces in the dense forest to the east, why don't we go there and look for it?"

"There are wild animals infested there, which is more dangerous than this side." Zhang Zuidong said with some scruples.

Pu Pingle stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Zuidong's sleeve, and said in a low voice: "Let's just take a look from the sidelines, okay? Brother Zhang, to be honest, my grandmother passed away when I was young. Grandma, I think of my grandmother, and I really can't bear her sadness."

Zhang Zuidong sighed, "Forget it, I'll go and have a look, I'm familiar with this mountain, you can wait here for me."

Pu Pingle refused, saying that he was worried about him, and after a while, neither side would budge. Finally, Zhang Zuidong said, "I'll go down the mountain and find some people to help."

You Xuzhi on the tree is happy, and Pu Pingle is obviously not right. At the beginning, he insisted so much that he was worried. He could see some clues, but Zhang Zuidong didn't seem to be enlightened.

After he finished his music, he continued to listen to the two talking.

Pu Pingle let go of Zhang Zuidong's sleeve, and Qi Qiran said: "Forget it, I know that Brother Zhang dislikes me as a drag, and I don't want to drag Brother Zhang, but if something happens to you, I have a hard conscience , I’ll go alone, don’t bother Brother Zhang.”

Zhang Zuidong: "..."

It was impossible for him to let Pu Pingle go alone, so he had no choice but to take him with him. Pu Pingle pretended to evade, and said a lot of words of gratitude.

The authorities are obsessed, the onlookers are clear, Pu Pingle played a good trick of retreating into advance, You Xuzhi gave a soft "hiss", he jumped out of the game, and when he looked again, he realized that Pu Pingle and his impression were very big. It's different, maybe what he saw was just the side that Pu Pingle deliberately showed him.

The development of the current scene is similar to that in the book, but the storybook briefly describes that Pu Pingle and Zhang Zuidong accidentally fell into a trap. Now, in You Xuzhi's eyes, it seems that it was premeditated.

You Xuzhi didn't come to a conclusion easily, and the seeds of doubt were buried in his heart.

At first when he saw the description in the storybook, he only felt that Pu Pingle was indecisive and always procrastinated things to the worst extent before confessing to Zhang Zuidong. People have several faces. Until now, You Xuzhi felt that the Pu Pingle he saw was Le is the side most like himself.

He tapped his toes, fell from the tree, glanced at the direction the two were going, picked another path, and walked alongside them in the dense bushes.

Along the way, Pu Pingle was talking about his grandmother with Zhang Zuidong, and Zhang Zuidong occasionally responded, expressing that he was listening carefully. After a while, their pace slowed down, and the eyes of You Xuzhi, who was accompanying him on the other side, moved slightly. Climb up a tree twice, with a light and elegant posture.

Not long after, Pu Pingle said that he was a little tired, so Zhang Zuidong and him found an open space to rest for a while.The hem of You Xu's clothes brushed against the branches and leaves, changed a tree, and got closer to them. The soft rustle caught Zhang Zuidong's attention.

"What's wrong?" Pu Pingle asked.

Zhang Zuidong: "Nothing."

Maybe it was the wind.

Birds were chirping in the forest, You Xuzhi was on the tree trunk opposite, he could clearly see the expressions of the two opposite people, Pu Pingle casually looked in a certain direction frequently, then tidied up his clothes, wiped sweat from his sleeves, from time to time Licking his dry lips, he spoke a lot less, perhaps due to the tension that he didn't realize.

What's there?

You Xuzhi looked at it, but he didn't feel anything special, his heart moved slightly, and he turned over from the tree and fell down.

Zhang Zuidong, who was paying attention to his surroundings, heard a slight sound again, his body tensed up, and he saw the afterimage in the gap between the branches and leaves, which was fleeting.

For some reason, he felt that the afterimage was a bit like the young master at home.

"Brother Zhang!" Pu Pingle called out, pointing in one direction and said, "I seem to see something passing over there."

That place happened to be the direction where Zhang Zuidong saw the afterimage.

"I gonna go see."

"I'm with you."

Zhang Zuidong didn't argue with him, the two walked over there one after the other, passed through the bushes, and saw that there was a dense forest, the ground was covered with dead branches and leaves, and they creaked when they stepped on it.

Zhang Zuidong looked at the traces on the ground, and suddenly found a reflective object among the dead branches and leaves. He squatted down and picked it up. It was a jade pendant - he had seen it on You Xuzhi's folding fan.

"Brother Zhang."

Zhang Zuidong tucked the jade pendant into his sleeve with his backhand.

"What's the matter?" He turned around with his usual expression.

"I seem to see it! It's over there!" Panting Pu Pingle, he doesn't do much farm work, and his physical strength is not as good as that of the villagers, and he is already sweating profusely.

Zhang Zuidong raised his feet and walked to the other end, behind him, Pu Pingle swallowed, his eyes fell on Zhang Zuidong's back, Zhang Zuidong in front couldn't see his expression.

He was not careless, large beasts are here, and the place is very dangerous. Suddenly he saw something wrong on the ground, he paused, and was about to go around, when he heard a panicked "Brother Zhang" behind him, turning around. Turning around, I saw Pu Pingle fall to the ground, clutching his calf, his face pale.

"what happened?"

"It hurts so much, my leg..." He panicked and feared that it wasn't a lie.

Zhang Zuidong opened the hem of his clothes, only to see a black patch on the trouser leg, which was covered with mud, but not torn. It didn't look like it was bitten by a snake. From the corner of his eye, he saw a small piece of mud-stained stone, which suddenly fell off. On a yellow leaf.

There was a rustling sound, Zhang Zuidong fell silent, looked there vigilantly, touched the machete at his waist, Pu Pingle didn't pay attention to it, he could not stop sobbing and choking in pain.

Weeds protruded from a folding fan, and the folding fan moved to the side, and its owner also appeared from behind the weeds, with a face like a crown jade, dressed in extraordinary clothes, tassels falling from the waist, and the noble temperament of the whole body can be seen at a glance.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he showed obvious surprise.

"Yeah, why are you?"

Facing Zhang Zuidong's scrutinizing eyes, You Xuzhi was calm and composed. He tapped Pu Pingle next to Zhang Zuidong with his folding fan, and asked, "What's wrong with your leg?"

There were tears in Pu Pingle's round and big eyes, and the corners of his eyes were reddish, as if his fat face had been stained with a little dust at some point, looking a little embarrassed, and a bit pitifully fragile.

"Master Youyou, why are you here?"

You Xuzhi approached them and said, "I went out for a walk in the mountains, and the flowers bloomed everywhere, so beautiful. Before I knew it, I went astray and lost my way."

Pu Pingle pulled up his trouser legs, and saw that there was a bruise on his calf, and immediately felt more pain.

You Xuzhi took a breath, and was about to touch it when he was caught by a callused hand on the way.

"Young Master You, I hope you don't behave so frivolously." Zhang Zuidong looked at him with dark eyes, and his tone was upright.

"Oh?" You Xuzhi raised his eyebrows and looked back.

There seems to be some kind of strange atmosphere fermenting.

Pu Pingle, who was sandwiched between the two, looked at this and then at that, trembling his eyelashes, biting his lower lip and lowering his eyes silently.

"They are all men, why do you talk about frivolity?" You Xuzhi asked him.

Zhang Zuidong reminded with a cold voice: "Master You likes men."

"So what if you like men? You should be different from ordinary people if you have broken sleeves, and avoid suspicion?" You Xuzhi asked sharply.

Zhang Zuidong pursed his lips: "I don't mean that."

You Xuzhi replied leisurely: "Then what do you mean?"

Zhang Zuidong is not good at flirting with people, so he can't talk to him.

He also didn't know why he had to extend this hand out of his own ingenuity.

"Or..." You Xuzhi moved the wrist he was grasping, with the palm facing up, he held his hand instead, and scratched his wrist lightly with his fingertips, "Can you see that I can't touch him?"

The tone of his lowered voice was ambiguous, there was no anger, only teasing.

Zhang Zuidong was shocked, with a forced expression on his face, he shook off his hand, like a woman from a good family being molested, and scolded in a low voice: "Meng Lang—why tease me like this!"

After all, he got up and sat aside.

You Xuzhi snorted, opened the folding fan, and shook his wrist lightly.

The storybook also said that he didn't like it, but he saw that Zui Dong liked it very much, the little beauty acted like a baby, there was nothing she could do, she compromised as soon as she said it, and no one else could touch her, it's not that she doesn't like it, it's that she likes it so much.

His kindness was wasted.

"Young Master You, don't blame me, Brother Zhang is just..." Pu Pingle said at the right time, but he, who is usually eloquent, didn't say "just" for a long time.

You Xuzhi glanced at him meaningfully: "No problem."

Pu Pingle met his eyes, and lowered his head with a blushing face as if he had been burned.

He didn't expect that Zhang Zuidong would defend him like this, and You Xuzhi treated him very well, but...he always felt that his liking was too illusory and difficult to control.
