Returning to you in the depths of the white clouds

Shopkeeper Lu and Xu Yuqing have known each other for about ten years, so they can't be said to be too familiar, but they can't be said to be unfamiliar either.He had seen Xu Yuqing deflated before, but that was ten years ago when Xu Yuqing was still a kid.Although shopkeeper Lu thinks that Xu Yuqing has a good personality, and now the image of a polite and polite son is still firmly held in front of people, he still misses the way he is a stunned young man who wanders around behind his host and is always teased.

At that time, Xu Yuqing was still a thin-skinned young man with a good ability to attract the attention of his peers and a high-spirited spirit that he never concealed. Naturally, there were times when he was naive, embarrassed and at a loss—especially when the person he admired—Bai Wuqing. in front of the patient.Later, he was no longer Bai Wuzai's little follower, but gradually became an important figure in the world of Yingxiang Tower, and even a noble person who helped Bai Wuzai when he was in trouble, so the shopkeeper Lu's attitude towards him was naturally a little bit more Sincere respect.

Gu Linfeng is different.This well-known quack doctor who became famous at a young age has only met the shopkeeper Lu for a few times. The previous few times were when the landlord of his house was seriously injured and incurable, Gu Linfeng came to treat him.At that time, everyone was in a bad mood. Gu Linfeng's honesty and dedication to treatment did not leave much impression in his eyes except that he was young, promising and well-deserved.

But later, through Xu Yuqing's words, he also learned a little bit, knowing that this miracle doctor is a master with an eccentric personality, but he didn't pay attention to it - no one in the world has a bit of arrogance, let alone a young man who became famous.Now seeing that he and Xu Yuqing's brothers really get along, I understand why the host always adds with a smile when Xu Yuqing commented on Gu Linfeng with disgust: "Your senior brother is actually quite interesting."

Of course, Xu Yuqing absolutely disagreed with this point.If you want him to post words on Gu Linfeng, it is definitely more appropriate to say "hate" and "get in the way".For example, at this moment, suddenly there was a large living person in the spacious room that originally belonged to him, and he felt uncomfortable, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

In fact, Gu Linfeng was sleeping on a long couch far away from him. Although his long legs could not be stretched straight, he was always quiet and made no noise. On the contrary, Xu Yuqing was tossing vigorously on the bed.

A moment later, Gu Linfeng finally spoke: "Are you still asleep?"

Xu Yuqing kicked her legs and flattened her body, and sighed towards the top of the bed: "I can't sleep because there are so many people in the room, disturbing the cleanliness."

Gu Linfeng almost sneered through his nose.

It's strange to say, just hearing him sneer, Xu Yuqing knew what he was laughing at, and said casually: "Of course, those beauties of mine don't count. It's natural to be warm, fragrant and soft jade in your bosom~Dream~a~field~ "Speaking of the last few words, he even mentioned the ending tune, imitating the tune in the opera in a barren accent.He knew that Gu Linfeng hated his unscrupulous tone the most, and wanted to make him angry on purpose.

But maybe it's been a few years since we saw each other, but Gu Linfeng's endurance has grown, and he hasn't spoken to him for a long time.Xu Yuqing couldn't help being a little curious, and turned sideways to see if the person on the couch over there was asleep, but the person opposite suddenly made a sound.

"We didn't always sleep in the same room when we were young." His tone was still so calm, as if he automatically ignored Xu Yuqing's previous text.

Xu Yuqing simply turned his head and looked over: "That's not an old man who is stingy, and he is reluctant to build an extra room. Didn't you go down the mountain and earn money to build another house? You also wanted to live in a single room and thought about it for several years Bar!"

Over there, Gu Linfeng finally moved his legs and feet a little uncomfortable, and changed his posture: "The condition that Master agrees with me to build an extra room is - let me repair his room first with money and effort."

"Hahaha," Xu Yuqing laughed out loud, "This is something our old man can do!" While talking, he brought up a lot of interesting things about living in the mountains when he was a child, thinking of the old man who regards money as his life, Laughed for a long time before stopping.

Gu Linfeng didn't answer much, just listened to his laughter, but when the laughter gradually died down, he finally asked him with a smile: "Master, do you still hate me?"

Xu Yuqing's unrestrained laughter stopped abruptly, and her face turned cold in the darkness.He asked word by word: "Gu Linfeng, let me ask you first, what happened back then, are you still not going to tell me?"

After a while, when he thought he would not receive a reply, Gu Linfeng finally answered him with one word:

"Ah."

"Heh." Xu Yuqing didn't know whether to laugh or get angry, and turned to face in, not planning to continue any conversation.

He heard the man over there sigh, and slowly, trying to explain to him, he calmly said: "I promised Master not to tell you, so I can't. Yu Qing, Master will not harm you. I also... never Yes." After speaking, he seemed to have changed his posture, and after a little movement, he even breathed lightly on purpose, and there was no more sound.

Xu Yuqing stared blankly at the wall for a while, then sighed inaudibly, and closed her eyes.

I don't know if the conversation before going to bed reminded him of the past when he was young when he was studying art. On this day Xu Yuqing actually dreamed of the years in the mountains.

The scene in the dream is very real, but the pictures and the story seem to have been beautified, so that he can wake up from the unreality and realize that this is a dream.

He saw himself sitting at a half-worn table in the simple kitchen, with a plate of steaming, mouth-watering dumplings in front of him.The surrounding light is warm yellow, filled with warm happiness.The little boy picked up the chopsticks, and was about to put them down with a look of anticipation, but an older boy at the side reached out and handed over a small plate, and said softly, "Yu Qing, I'm jealous for you."

Little Xu Yuqing raised her hand to let him put the plate of vinegar in front of him, and raised her head and smiled at the other party, then buried herself in eating happily.

Yes, Xu Yuqing remembered that this was when he was 12 years old.On New Year's Eve, it was Gu Linfeng who cooked him a bowl of dumplings that didn't taste very good.That dumpling was definitely not as attractive as it looked in the dream, and Gu Linfeng's tone couldn't be so gentle, and it was even more impossible for him to raise his head and smile at that person -- but he remembered that he really ate that bowl of dumpling very much. clean.

That year's New Year's Eve, he went down the mountain to go back to the Xu family's mansion for the New Year as usual—but that mansion was already filled with people who had nothing to do with him. By this year, even the only grandmother who loved him and loved him had passed away.He, the eldest young master of the Xu family in name, is just an existence that his biological father doesn't like to see, and his stepmother wants to get rid of him.Without his grandmother, he didn't know what the point of being here was.

He stayed in that house for half a day like a wandering ghost, and no one seemed to see him among the busy people celebrating the New Year.Turning back to his own room, the charcoal fire has been extinguished, and it is freezing cold.Of course he could turn around and ask a servant to add fuel to the fire, but the moment he walked out the door and saw the bustling scene in the yard, he suddenly shut up.

No one thought of asking him to have a reunion dinner, so he just sat in that cold room and stared blankly for a long time. He stood up abruptly—his legs were numb from sitting for too long, and he almost fell and kicked over the charcoal brazier.

Then he performed lightness kung fu like flying, and ran back to the broken thatched hut on the mountain overnight as if fleeing for his life.That day the master and Gu Linfeng were celebrating the new year in the hall, although there were only two of them, they seemed to be jubilant and festive, but he could hear the master humming an out-of-tune song from a distance after drinking too much.Gu Linfeng probably tried a few words of persuasion, but of course the master didn't listen, and said that he was old enough to drink some wine, and then he heard Gu Linfeng coughing from choking on the strong wine, and couldn't stop it.

He didn't open the door and go in.

After walking a few steps with a blank mind, he pushed the door open and found himself in the small kitchen.There was no one in the kitchen and no lights were on. It was pitch black. He was very hungry. He searched around but couldn't find anything to eat. Finally, he managed to find half a cold steamed bun and sat down on the half-worn table. I gnawed at the side, and I didn't know what was wrong, so I cried uncontrollably.

At this moment, Gu Linfeng pushed the door open and came in.With a lamp in his hand, he opened the door and came in to see him crying while eating steamed buns, obviously stunned.

Their relationship has never been very good, not to mention that Xu Yuqing is already 12 years old, how could he lose face in front of him like this?Quickly shook off the half of the cold steamed bun in his hand, stretched out his sleeves and rubbed his eyes, planning to stand up and go back to the house.Who knew that during the half night, he was running around and suffering from the cold, his legs and feet were very uncomfortable, he stood up and fell back.The little boy was a little uneasy, and said angrily, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Linfeng seemed to be reacting at this time.He stretched out his hand to close the kitchen door to keep out the cold wind, and put the lamp on the table.It's just that the lamp was brought closer, and the wet tears on Xu Yuqing's face became clearer, which made him a little embarrassed.Just about to say something, Gu Linfeng asked him: "Are you hungry?"

He didn't ask him when he came back, why he ran back on New Year's Eve; he didn't ask him why he was crying.Just ask him: Are you hungry?

There was nothing embarrassing about it, so Xu Yuqing nodded vigorously.

Then there was that bowl of dumplings.

The dumplings were not particularly delicious, and when Gu Linfeng handed him the vinegar, he just said "Hi".He immersed himself in eating the whole time, and after eating, he waited for Gu Linfeng to clean up, and went back to the room with him holding the lamp - they were still living in the same room at that time.

When I walked into the room, I heard that in the next room, the old man had some kind of addiction in his dreams. In his sleep, he hummed a few high-pitched opera lines. He was slurred when he was drunk, and he couldn’t hear clearly at all. He listened to music up.

Gu Linfeng waited for him to enter the room, closed the door and said calmly: "Wipe yourself warm before going to bed, don't get sick if you celebrate Chinese New Year." He also said: "Don't get up too late tomorrow, ask Master New Year's red envelopes. He ran down the mountain when it was too late, and borrowed this rascal last year."

At this time, he really smiled at Gu Linfeng: "He is so drunk, he will definitely not be able to run away tomorrow!"

Who knew that when he woke up the next day, the old man would still run down the mountain to visit the house on the first day of the new year as usual, and the red envelopes were still gone.

Xu Yuqing always felt that if he wanted to recall something in his sweet dreams, it should be that he dreamed that the old man didn't succeed in running away and sent him a big red envelope, but ended up eating that bowl of dumplings deliciously again. What's the matter? Son.

I don't know if she dreamed about the smell of dumplings and vinegar all night, Xu Yuqing woke up the next day and turned around, smelling the aroma of vinegar before opening her eyes.Then I heard the shop waiter knocking on the door: "Mr. Xu, your face is ready!"

He turned over and got out of bed, walked lazily over and opened the door, and the waiter put a bowl of hot noodles on the table for him.

"I haven't gotten up yet, when do you want noodles?" He asked.

"Your brother just ate a bowl at the front, and he asked me to bring you a bowl too, more vinegar!" The waiter replied with a smile.

Xu Yuqing looked down at the bowl of noodles, smiled helplessly, and asked plainly: "Did he still say that they should be credited to my account together?"

"En!" The waiter nodded fiercely.

Hello Gu Linfeng!
