Wet Apricot Rain

"Stop, who are you?" The soldiers guarding the entrance of the valley blocked the way with their guns horizontally, looking at the approacher very warily.

Le Wuyi cupped his hands and saluted: "Excuse me, I'm Le Wuyi, this is...uh..."

He was still hesitating, but Xie Yi had already pulled Wuyi's clothes to pick it up, "I am Master Wuyi's apprentice, my name is Xie Yi!" with a big smile on his face.

"Uh... yes, Shi... Ayi and I are here to deliver things." Le Wuyi's movements froze for a moment, and then he quickly reacted and said, "It was Wenren who asked us to send things here directly. Give it to General Qin."

"General Qin?" The soldier frowned, then nodded and said: "The general said that someone will come to him in the near future, wait a moment, I will go in and report."

"Okay, I'm sorry." Le Wuyi watched the soldier walk away, then took Xie Yi and took two steps to the side.

"What's wrong?" Seeing his stiff expression, Xie Yi raised his head and asked with a smile.

Le Wuyi squatted down and pulled a handful of his hair, pouted a little bit wronged: "Meow meow! Master, you scared me to death just now!"

"Oh? Why did being a teacher scare you?" Xie Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled happily, and even smoothed out the messy hair of the apprentice, "Are you going to tell others that I am your master? It's no different. , do you think anyone will believe it?"

Being asked nothing to say, Le Wuyi lowered his head in frustration, and put his hair on his face weakly: "But... Master, you call me Master... I..."

"Guilty?" Xie Yi pinched his face, "You are already close to mastering Yanshu, and you can afford someone to call you master, but it's just a different person calling, what are you worried about?"

"I just... feel awkward..." He squatted with his arms folded and let Xie Yi pinch his face, "I always feel like I was being molested by Master..."

"Huh?" Le Wuyi shrank his neck and stopped talking at the rising sound, Xie Yi patted his face with satisfaction when he saw this, "Okay, you should also pay attention, don't accidentally yell out loud next time Master."

"Oh." Le Wuyi scratched his head, "What's that called?"

"Didn't you yell just now?"

"Ayi?"

"En, good boy." Xie Yi responded, threw himself into his arms and kissed him on the cheek, "Master, I'm back."

Le Wuyi once again stared stiffly at his master pretending to be an innocent and cute child and acting like a baby at him very naturally, his mind was about to fail completely, but subconsciously stood up with the person in his arms and looked towards Taniguchi.

Two people came over there, one was the soldier who just went in to report, and the other was Wen Renyu's senior brother Qin Yang whom he had met before.

When Qin Yang approached, he found that Le Wuyi's expression was a little off, as if his movements were so stiff that he couldn't even walk: "Mr. Le? Are you all right?"

"Ah? Ah! It's all right..." Le Wuyi shook his head and returned to normal, "I was in a daze just now, General Qin, this is what Wenren wanted."

He reached out to take it from the Yanjia bag, but was stopped by Qin Yang: "Don't worry, since Mr. Le is here, let's sit in the valley. Wen Ren also mentioned before that he would bring you here to have a look."

Le Wuyi was a little hesitant, and subconsciously looked down at the person in his arms: "That...uh Ayi...what do you think?"

"Okay~" The child raised his face and smiled sweetly, "Sister Wenren's home must be very interesting!" He continued to play with Le Wuyi's lock of hair hanging in front of him as he spoke. It sounds innocent.

Only then did Qin Yang remember and asked, "Eh? This child is..."

"Uh... my apprentice..." Le Wuyi replied, "Yes, my apprentice."

Qin Yang did not doubt that he was there, nodded and said: "Then let's come together, Junior Sister will be back later, just in time for you to meet."

"Eh?" Le Wuyi opened his eyes wide in surprise, "That's just right!"

"please."

It was the first time for Le Wuyi to enter Baicao Valley. When they came back last time, several people were sneaking outside for fear of being discovered.

It was only when he entered that he realized that there was still a big difference between what he had imagined.

In addition to buildings similar to military tents, there are many ordinary houses here.These houses are arranged in a patchwork order, which seems to be arranged according to some special law.

"In addition to the research on hagana, the ink masters of Baicaogu are also proficient in the technique of Qimen and gossip. The layout of the houses here implies formations. Once activated, it is an extremely difficult barrier to break through." Xie Yi was hugged by Le Wuyi. In his arms, lying on his shoulder, he looked around like a child, and whispered in his ear.

Le Wuyi was tickled by the breath in his ears, and almost laughed out loud: "So that's it, it's amazing. Master, I remember that you knew a Mohist here, and you gave him the armored egg of the Heaven-reaching Tool. "

"Well, I hadn't activated it at that time. It was sent by Xie Yi. It was all a hundred years ago. They were already in their prime at that time, and they are probably not alive now. No one will remember." Xie Yi continued. "You don't have to worry about being a teacher." He looked at the slightly red earlobe in front of him, stretched out his hand and pinched it, "Your ears are red."

"Uh..." Le Wuyi also blushed a little, not daring to look at the smiling master, "Probably...it's a bit hot...hahaha..."

At this time Qin Yang had already stopped in front of the house, Xie Yi stopped teasing him: "Master, let me down, I will go by myself."

Le Wuyi obediently put the person down, and at the same time looked forward curiously, Qin Yang stretched out his hand and pushed open the door in front of him: "You two, this is the room for guests to rest, you can rest here today."

"Okay, thank you very much." Le Wuyi followed him in. Seeing that Xie Yi had found a stool and sat down by himself, he took out a box from his arms and handed it over: "General Qin, this is what Wen Ren wanted."

"Please trouble Mr. Le," Qin Yang thanked, took the box, and said, "Mr. Le, there are people guarding the forbidden places in the valley, and the rest of the place is free to walk. Behind is the residence of Mo Zhe. You can go if you want, Mr. Le. The Mohists also have a lot of research on Yanshu, and they also mentioned that they want to meet Mr. Le."

"Okay, I see. General Qin, go ahead and leave us alone. I will pay attention."

Qin Yang was not polite when he saw this, he bowed his hands and went out, leaving Xie Yi and Le Wuyi behind.

"Master? Are you going to see Mo Zhe?" There was prepared water in the teapot on the table, and he took it over and poured a cup to Xie Yi, "Drink some water, I've been on the road for a long time."

Xie Yi took it over, took a sip from the cup, "No hurry, it's rare to come, let's take a look around first, it's the same with Mo Zhe when I see you later, if Miss Wenren comes back, you can ask her to introduce you."

"That's good too!" Le Wuyi's tone was obviously a little excited, "Wenren's house should be taken a good look! I don't know what they do for lunch here. Could it be a big pot of food in the military camp?"

Originally, the first half of the sentence was good, but when the second half came out, Xie Yi couldn't laugh or cry: "It's the same, why are you thinking about eating like Ah Ruan? And where did you hear about the big pot meal?"

"That's why I... care about Master. Master is a child now, so he has to pay attention to his diet! It's different from that of the fairy sister!" Le Wuyi grinned, "I heard Dad say it before, he said In the past, when we went out to march and cook, we always cooked in big pots, so it was called big pot rice."

"Really..." Xie Yi shook his head while sighing, "You... let's go, go for a walk."

"it is good!"

He habitually took Xie Yi's hand and went outside. Two soldiers happened to pass by the door, and he looked at them curiously.Le Wuyi smiled at them, turned around and took the path with few people.

"Master, there don't seem to be many people in Baicao Valley." He watched for a long time, and rarely saw anyone staying outside, and most of the people he saw occasionally were old and weak without fighting capabilities.

"Indeed, Baicao Valley is considered a military system after all, and most of them have missions away on weekdays. Except for the troops left behind, only some ordinary family members and logistics personnel will stay here for a long time. Of course, there are also some generals and Mohists who preside over the overall situation. Stay here." Xie Yi walked beside him, holding on to Wu Yi's clothes, his voice was so soft that he could just hear it.

"So that's how it is." He saw a very young girl in front of him wearing soft armor and holding a long spear that was much taller than her, hurried over, couldn't help but followed behind curiously, and then turned back He said to his master, "I seem to be able to imagine what Wenren was like when he was a child."

"It's just like you... like to hear people?" Xie Yi raised his eyes to see his expression, smiled and asked softly.

"Of course, Wenren has a good personality, is a good person, and is very powerful, and... pretty pretty." He thought of Wenren's appearance in Dingguo Duke's Mansion when he changed into that palace attire, and scratched his head with a smirk.

Xie Yi bowed his head and remained silent, before saying after a while, "Ha, Miss Wenren is indeed a good girl."

Le Wuyi unknowingly pulled Xie Yi and continued to walk forward, while walking, he continued: "Every time I think of Wenren, I always feel that she is really strong. The matter about her master... If it was me, , I must not be like her, when Master Guang left, I was so sad that I wanted to cry... If it was like her, I would have collapsed a long time ago." When he said this, his voice was a little low , with a sad expression, "Wenren, she must meet someone who treats her very well, can take care of her, accompany her, and make her live happily every day in the future."

At this time, Xie Yi was looking at the empty room on one side, as if he was a little distracted, and only after hearing this, he said, "Miss Wenren is indeed worthy of this, no different, if it was you..." He smiled lightly, "Wenren Miss Ren must be having a good time, Miss Wenren seems to like you very much."

"Ah? Me? Master, are you kidding me!" Le Wuyi shook his head almost reflexively, and said seriously, "Wenren and I are called good friends. Although Yi Ze always said that we are more like best friends, but best friends It’s a girl, but I’m not.” He seemed to recall Xia Yi’s tone of voice at that time, and his expression was a little angry, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly laughed and looked down at his master, “And… I want to stay with Master...well...always with..."

The second half of his sentence suddenly became like a mosquito, and he turned his face slightly.

Xie Yi heard it clearly, felt relieved, and laughed, "Do you want to accompany me as a teacher? A teacher is different from Miss Wenren. Don't you want to live with a girl? Miss Wenren is like that. A beautiful woman is very rare."

"A girl's home is a girl's home! It doesn't matter if you have one or not... I... I just want to follow Master!" Le Wuyi waved his hands anxiously, but he didn't know how much affection was in the words he blurted out. "Master is the best! And...Master is also very good-looking..." He blushed a little, "It used to be, and it is still now, anyway... Anyway, Master is my favorite." He didn't say anything up to here Thinking about how straightforward these words are, I just think it would be best to let Xie Yi understand his intentions, as for things like shyness, they have to be put to the back.

"Well, as a teacher, I like Wuyi the most." He answered the words very naturally, holding Wuyi's hand and smiling at him, "We are the same, aren't we?"

Le Wuyi blinked, watching her master laugh foolishly.
