I became the leopard cub of the paranoid emperor

Luo Bai leaned on his chest and swayed from side to side. Seeing that the old lady wanted to clean the yard, he went to help. The old lady didn't refuse, and went back to her room to rest after a few words of advice.

Standing under the tree, Chu Yuzhao looked at his skillful movements and asked, "Did you do things for your mother before?"

"Sometimes I help, sometimes I don't." Luo Bai said, "If I don't help after being beaten, I will be angry."

"Being often beaten by your mother?"

"Not often." Luo Bai swept all the leaves into the dustpan and said, "My mother doesn't beat me all the time, and she goes out every once in a while, so I'm the only one left at home."

Chu Yuzhao asked: "You are the only one left, so what about eating?"

"I do it myself."

"Oh? You can cook?"

"meeting."

Luo Bai put the dustpan and broom in the corner of the courtyard, turned around and clapped his hands and said, "I'm a good cook. As long as Mom is not at home, when I'm hungry, I'll scoop rice into the rice bowl and cook."

He pretended to be holding something in both hands, walked forward cautiously, and said vividly in his mouth: "First take a ladle of water and put it in front of the pot, pour it in, there is a gap on the side of the ladle, let the water go out from there, and pour it while pouring." read."

He made an overwhelmed gesture: "Luo Bai hits the frog, the frog croaks, Luo Bai hits the iron pillar, and the iron pillar wows. I'm wrong, help me, Luo Bai stop hitting."

When he finished reading this sentence, he quickly leveled the water ladle: "Okay, there is no need to add more water." Then he made a calm movement of covering the pot: "Now you can cook."

"It's okay." Chu Yuzhao coughed lightly and touched his nose: "Then how do you know if the rice is cooked? How many times do you have to read this kind of frog-beating?"

Luo Bai looked at him incredulously, as if he was looking at a fool, and sighed maturely: "Brother, don't you even know how to cook rice? Open the lid and take a look, and you can tell if it's cooked or not? "

Chu Yuzhao: ...

"Let's go, let's go outside for a stroll."

He turned his head and walked out of the courtyard, Luo Bai hurriedly chased after him.

The two walked up the mountain road behind the yard, Chu Yuzhao was injured and couldn't walk fast, Luo Bai chased birds and dragonflies all the way, ran to the front from time to time, poked his head to see if he was keeping up, if not, ran away with another gust of wind return.

Chu Yuzhao looked at the mountains in the distance, breathed in the earthy air, and felt as if he had escaped from the cage, feeling extremely relaxed.

He thought a little self-deprecatingly, if being injured could lead such a peaceful life, it would be okay to get hurt once in a while.

Looking at Luo Bai's back, I feel that I am cold-hearted and doomed to be lonely. It is good to have such a person by my side at all times in this life.

—Although he's just a fool who doesn't understand anything.

He walked slowly along the mountain road, Luo Bai ran to the front and disappeared, he turned a corner, but still did not see Luo Bai, so he began to look around.

"Pfft, puff." There was a covering-mouthed laugh from above his head, before Chu Yuzhao raised his head, he heard Luo Bai proudly say, "Can't you find me? Are you dying? I'm on a tree."

Chu Yuzhao raised his head and was about to call him down, when he choked suddenly, from the base of his ears to his neck, redness was visible to the naked eye, and then his face was full of annoyance.

Luo Bai was right above his head, standing on two branches with his feet spread apart, his hands arrogantly crossed at his waist, the scenery under his skirt was so big and bright in Chu Yuzhao's eyes.

Chu Yuzhao suddenly turned around and walked forward, his steps were so fast that he didn't seem injured at all.

"Brother, what are you doing so fast? Wait for me."

Luo Bai quickly hugged the tree and slid down, but the hem of his skirt was hung by the branch on the left, unable to slide down in the air, not only his two delicate legs, but also his upturned buttocks and waist were all exposed .

He wanted to reach out to dial, but he couldn't reach it, so he called his brother to help me anxiously.

Chu Yuzhao didn't want to care about him at first, but he still couldn't help turning his head.After seeing it clearly, he turned around again and continued to hurry forward.

Luo Bai turned his head with difficulty, looked at Chu Yuzhao's back that was getting further and further away, and finally didn't say anything.

He was suspended in the air and rotated slightly from side to side. When a gust of mountain wind blew, he felt his butt was so cold, so he stretched out his hand to scratch it.Since Chu Yuzhao didn't turn around to help him, after hanging up for a while, he also started to think of a way.

After tossing for a while, he simply took off his clothes, stripped himself, climbed up the tree to get his clothes, and landed firmly on the ground.

Luo Bai put on his clothes, a little unhappy that Chu Yuzhao left him and walked away alone, so he purposely didn't chase after him, just sat down on a rock where he was, took a grass in his hand, and pumped the ground, Vent your dissatisfaction.

After a while, a pair of leather boots appeared in the hanging view. He pretended not to see it, changed direction, and continued to pump the ground with grass.

"Angry?" Chu Yuzhao's low voice sounded.

"No." Luo Bai replied angrily.

"Sure enough, he is a liar, and he lied again."

Luo Bai couldn't refute, so he could only imitate him by pinching his throat: "Sure enough, he is a liar, and he lied again."

Chu Yuzhao didn't say anything more, just stood beside him silently, sighed after a while, and said in a helpless tone: "Let's go, there is a small pool in front, the water is so clear that you can see the bottom, do you want to take a look?"

"Let's go, there is a small water pool in front, it's clear...Wow, do you want to go and have a look?"

Chu Yuzhao ignored his strange tone and stepped forward, while Luo Bai squinted at him behind him, and after he had walked a few feet, he still got up and followed.

Luo Bai followed behind not too close or far away, peeking at the people in front from time to time, and found that he would pick the longest one from the grass ridge next to him from time to time, doing something while walking, and his arms would move slightly.

He suppressed his inner curiosity and did not catch up. Chu Yuzhao looked back twice halfway, and he would stop and look into the distance.

After walking for a while, Chu Yuzhao suddenly turned to face him, with his left hand behind his back, and his right hand beckoned to him: "Come."

"What are you doing?"

Chu Yuzhao didn't take it seriously, and waved again: "Come."

Luo Bai glanced at him sideways, seeing those deep eyes focused on him, his heart skipped a beat, and he walked over unconsciously with both feet.

He walked up to Chu Yuzhao and said, "I'm here."

"En." Chu Yuzhao looked at him firmly and did not speak, his eyes were as dark as two deep pools.

Luo Bai suddenly lowered his voice, and said again: "I'm here."

"En." Chu Yuzhao stretched out the hand behind his back.

Looking at the little straw rabbit in front of him, Luo Bai let out a cry of surprise, happily took it, looked around for a while before asking: "Is it for me? It's for me!"

Chu Yuzhao turned around and continued to move forward, the dissatisfaction in Luo Bai's heart disappeared, and he followed behind and said repeatedly: "Brother's rabbit is really well made, much prettier than mine, but I know how to make it up, You were the one who taught it."

"I taught?" Chu Yuzhao stopped and asked.

"That's right, you used to weave straw rabbits for me and taught me how to do them, but I still can't weave them well." After Luo Bai said shamefully, he added: "Of course, it's just a little worse than your weaving. Second best."

Chu Yuzhao was silent for a while, and said, "Tell me something about your childhood."

"Okay, so since I was three and wetting the bed—"

"From the time you met me."

"From the time I saw you..." Luo Bai stared at the front as if caught in some kind of memory, and suddenly felt a little coy: "Brother, you were so pretty at that time, you looked like, you looked like something, It’s not the same as it is now.”

Chu Yuzhao didn't say anything to interrupt, but just listened patiently, then turned around and took half a step to the side, saying, "Talk while walking."

Luo Bai hurried forward, shoulder to shoulder with him, and after taking two steps, he quietly stretched out his hand, tentatively hooking Chu Yuzhao's fingers from under his sleeve.

Chu Yuzhao didn't break free, Luo Bai became more courageous, simply put his whole hand into his palm, and even poked his palm with his fingers, motioning him to hold it.

When Chu Yuzhao's palms were slowly clenched, Luo Bai began to recount while recalling.

"I picked you up in a river."

"In the river?" Chu Yuzhao asked.

Luo Bai said: "Well, you had an injury on your back at the time, and you looked so scary, so I dragged you to the shore, and then went home to call your mother."

……

"Where is the injured scholar you mentioned? Is this the child?" Mrs. Xue stood on the stone by the river, looking coldly at the boy lying at her feet.

The boy was only about ten years old, although he was soaked through, he could tell that the clothes were expensive, his face and lips were pale, if not for the slight heaving of his chest, he would have looked like a floating corpse that had been soaked in water for too long .

Squatting next to the boy was a boy about seven or eight years old, wearing a blue cloth blouse, with a bun on the top of his head, and a pair of big and lively eyes inlaid on his pink face.He raised his head when he heard the words, and said a little slyly: "I look like he is a scholar, an injured scholar, mother, please take him home."

Mrs. Xue snorted coldly: "You have learned a lot about your father's mind. Knowing that your mother had saved him, you also followed the gourd's drawing and made up a cover of a scholar to let me save people?"

"Mother, you are the most kindhearted. You are the fairy sister in the sky and the leopard lady on the earth. No leopard can be as kind and kind as mother. I am so blessed to be my mother's son." The boy He came as soon as he opened his mouth, and kept babbling sweet words in his small mouth.

As he kept talking, he went to peek at Mrs. Xue, and glanced at the young man lying on the ground from time to time, his expression switching back and forth between flattery and worry.

Mrs. Xue seems to like this kind of thing very much. Although her complexion is still not good-looking, her tone softened: "Luo Bai, I'm going out to find your father. I don't have the time to save people, let alone seeing how badly he was injured. It should be impossible to save."

"Try it, mother, try it, maybe it will be saved?" Luo Bai's eyes were full of pleading, and he hugged Mrs. Xue's leg and shook it gently, "Look how good-looking he is, and it's a pity to die ah."

Madam Xue choked up when she heard this, and then she looked at the young man in a daze, as if lost in memory, with a gentle smile on her face.After a while, he stretched out a finger to poke Luo Bai's head, and sighed: "You are just like your mother, you don't see good-looking people. You can save him, but you have to save him yourself."

"I save it myself?" Luo Bai said in surprise, "Mother, I don't know how to save people."

Mrs. Xue said: "What I usually teach you, have you learned it in the dog's stomach?"

"But, but, mother, you only asked me to recite the formula, so does that count?" Luo Bai's eyes widened.

"Do you know how precious my teacher's formulas are?" Mrs. Xue slapped Luo Bai on the back of his head, "The formulas I teach you can save people. It depends on whether you are paying attention or not."

"Ah, mother, I..."

The first snow after winter fell silently at night, and the whole village at the foot of the mountain was covered with a layer of white.

The closed wooden door was pushed open, and Luo Bai, who was dressed like a ball, ran out of the door, loaded charcoal in a corner of the yard with a dustpan, ran back to the house, and closed the door with a snap.

Compared with the severe cold outside, the inside of the house is very warm. There is a pot of charcoal fire burning in the center of the house, and there is a medicine pot on it, and the medicine is bubbling.

Luo Bai added two pieces of charcoal into the charcoal basin, brought a rough porcelain bowl, poured the medicine into it, put it on the low table aside to cool down, and then sat on the low stool in front of the wooden bed by the wall, resting his hands Gills, eyes staring at the person lying on the bed without blinking.

"Mother has been gone for ten days, why don't you wake up?" Luo Bai's cheeks were squeezed out of shape by his hands, and he murmured, "I followed the formula, why don't you wake up?" wake up?"

The person lying on the bed with his eyes closed was the boy he had rescued by the river.Because of the treatment in the past few days, his complexion has recovered a little bit of blood, and the wound on his back has also scabbed, and he is about to heal.

"I'm going to make lunch. Go to sleep slowly. What kind of porridge and rice soup do you want to eat at noon? Mix it with soy sauce or add salt? Hmm... I think soy sauce should be added, and two drops of sesame oil. Last night's soy sauce Thin porridge, when I feed you, I feel that you swallow a little more."

While muttering, Luo Bai stretched out his fingers to fiddle with the boy's long eyelashes, making the eyelashes bend under his fingers and bounce back again.

Just when he let the eyelashes bounce back again, the eyelids under the eyelashes suddenly trembled, and then he met a pair of eyes that were as dark as a deep pool.

These eyes are so beautiful... This was Luo Bai's first thought.

After staring at each other for a few moments, he suddenly realized that he stepped back with a scream, sat down on the ground, and pointed at the boy on the bed: "You, are you awake?"

The boy lay there without moving, just kept looking at him, Luo Bai had already recovered, got up from the ground, and asked in surprise and joy: "Are you awake?"

The young man still didn't reply, he looked at Luo Bai with vigilance, turned his head to look around, and finally asked, "Where is this? Who are you?"

Just as Luo Bai wanted to answer repeatedly, he forcibly suppressed it, imitating the usual actions of his father Luo Wanliu in his memory, brushing off the corner of his little robe, and coughing lightly with his fist to his lips, proudly and reservedly He replied: "This is my home, my name is Luo Bai, and I am your savior."

"Savior?"

The boy's voice was hoarse and unpleasant, as if a handful of sand had been mixed in his throat, and the skin of his mouth was full of cracked shells.

"Don't say thank you for your kindness. We will leave the matter of repayment for later. You need to take good care of your health now." Although Luo Bai was so excited that his face was flushed, he waved his hands pretending to be old-fashioned.

Seeing that the boy didn't say anything anymore, he quickly went to sit down by the bed, took one of the boy's hands, patted the back of his hand, and said affectionately: "You have been sleeping for so many days, I thought you wouldn't be able to wake up. My medical skills are really good, I actually saved you, I'm really, I'm really amazing."

His words were full of childish expression, but it swept away the sophistication that he pretended just now.

The young man wanted to wrestle his hand out, but he was weak and had no strength. He moved his fingers twice, but was held even tighter by Luo Bai, so he gave up.

"What's your name?" Luo Bai asked kindly.

The young man was like a vigilant beast, guarding against Luo Bai uneasily, keeping his chapped lips tightly shut and not saying a word.Luo Bai didn't care, and he was immersed in excitement: "If you can't eat these days, I will feed you rice soup. At first, the rice soup couldn't be swallowed. As soon as the spoon was fed, it flowed out from the corner of the mouth, but I who is that?"

The young man was looking around, heard the words and glanced at him, but Luo Bai patted the back of his hand and said: "Yes, I am the smart Luo Bai, I can't help you with this problem, I will pass it to your throat with a reed, I poured rice soup into it, hahahaha..."

"I know you can't speak now, so I'll save those grateful words for tomorrow." Luo Bai looked at his lips and asked, "Are you thirsty? But you drank so much medicine and rice soup all day long, or Are you thirsty?"

The boy finally uttered another syllable: "Water."

"Okay, okay, I'll pour you some water." Luo Bai swished down to the ground, ran to the table to pour a bowl of water, and brought it over carefully.

He wanted to feed the boy water with a spoon, but the boy struggled to sit up, Luo Bai quickly put down the bowl and helped him up, put a quilt on his back for him to lean on, and brought the bowl to his mouth.

The young man didn't even have the strength to hold the bowl, so he didn't insist on coming by himself. Luo Bai watched him gulp down water as he leaned against his hand, as if he had been thirsty for a long time.After he finished drinking a bowl of water, he asked, "Do you want more? I'll pour it for you again."

The boy shook his head, meaning to stop drinking.

Luo Bai took the bowl and put it back on the table, then ran to the edge of the bed and sat down, looked at the boy happily, and asked again: "What's your name?"

The young man licked his lips and continued to stare at Luo Bai. Luo Bai also stared at him intently and smiled: "Do you think I'm good-looking? I'm the best-looking child in our village , it looks good."

Looking at the group of innocent Luo Bai, the vigilance in the young man's eyes seemed to have faded a lot, he began to think sideways, and gradually a bewildered look appeared on his face.

"What's wrong?" Luo Bai asked.

The boy shook his head, closed his eyes and frowned, and said after a while: "I don't remember who I am."

The author has something to say:

At this time, Luo Bai was still a little smart.
