The room was dead silent.

The rain outside was still pattering down, it was damp and cold, and the chilly water mist came in through the gaps of the doors and windows that were not closed tightly, making Shi Wei's heart chill a little bit.

"Don't stare at me all the time, just say something." The young man stared at them with bitter eyes, and his smile was uglier than crying. Cao Ruoyu let out a "wow", shocked: "Third senior brother, you Dad is old enough to be a son, then, then he is very powerful."

"puff--"

Xue Wendi didn't hold back, and laughed out loud, Shi Wei blushed, and slapped Cao Ruoyu on the shoulder: "What are you talking about! Which pot is not open all day long!"

"I, I, I am!" Cao Ruoyu recalled the wrinkled old face, the thin and bent body and the choking tobacco smell, a little unconvinced, "At his age, I can call him Grandpa too much. "

"He became like this because of a serious injury!" Shi Wei slapped him again, Cao Ruoyu immediately shut up, and muttered, "I'm sorry, third senior brother, I didn't mean to."

"It's okay, I don't have a good relationship with him anyway." Shi Wei looked at him, turned his face away, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't I hurt you?"

"The pain really hurts." Cao Ruoyu smiled, very simple and honest, "But who made us brothers? This little pain is nothing!"

Seeing his stupid look, Shi Wei coughed lightly, and said: "The dead old man usually lives on the mountain, so he went down for a walk that day for some reason, uh, I mean, it's a bit troublesome to find him, but Don't worry, I can find him."

"Do you want me to find someone to go with you? The mountains are high and the water is long, so I have someone to take care of me." Wen Ke was worried, and Shi Wei sighed slightly: "The dead old man's whereabouts are uncertain, and he doesn't like to be found by others. If you don’t come out, I’ll just take Miss Li. Elder Wen, don’t worry, we’ll be under your care during this time, no matter what, I’ll give you back a lively Miss Li, just like before.”

Cao Ruoyu blinked: "Third Senior Brother, listen to what you said, do you want to go home alone?"

"Yeah, I'll go back alone." Shi Wei forced a smile, "After all, it's my father, so the family is easy to talk to."

"But you just said that you have a bad relationship with your father." Cao Ruoyu frowned, "Is he really willing to help us? Will you never return and be locked up at home by your father?"

"If you stay at home, then escape. It's not like I haven't done it before, and he hasn't done anything to me for so many years!" Shi Wei said lightly, but Xue Wendi pointed out the mystery: "He didn't find me before. You, because the master is still there."

After a while, the room became quiet again, and no one answered.

Shi Wei squeezed his hands tightly, his face was not very good-looking, Xue Wendi didn't force him: "Master is not here, I, a senior brother, will go back with you, although the ghost master may not give me face, but at least you have difficulties, I can help you a bit."

Shi Wei's eyelids trembled slightly, and his heart was touched, but he still shook his head slightly: "Master needs you more than me, senior brother."

After all, he raised his eyes and looked at Xue Wendi with firm eyes: "Don't worry, I will definitely come back."

He smiled: "Who made us brothers!"

Xue Wendi was slightly startled, and pursed his lips: "Okay, then you should be careful, Third Junior Brother."

"Ah."

Xue Wendi took out a small swift from his sleeve like a conjuring act, and handed it to him: "If you have any difficulties, send me a message. I will be there at the ends of the earth."

Shi Wei nodded solemnly, and put away the swift.

"By the way, third senior brother, there is a map in the compass that your father sold me." Cao Ruoyu groped, found the bamboo tube from his pocket, and handed it to him, "It was too dangerous before, so I forgot to ask you. You Take a look, is it your home map?"

"What map do I want to go home?" Shi Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he didn't stop moving his hands. He opened it up and took a look, a little strangely, "This picture isn't my home, I haven't seen it before."

"Let me take a look." Xue Wendi took it, and Wen Ke said, "I have studied it, but I don't know where it is drawn."

The map is very simple, a green hill with steep cliffs in the south and dense rocks in the north. A red-marked mountain road extends from the foot of the mountain in the north to the small pavilion in the center, and then circles around to reach the top of the mountain from the south.

A sword and a stickman are drawn on the top of the mountain.

Xue Wendi didn't understand what it meant, so he returned it to Cao Ruoyu: "Since it's the compass we bought, please keep it well."

"Ah? I thought the stick figure and sword were drawn by that old man, even though he was holding a pipe all the time in Pinghu City." Cao Ruoyu scratched his head and put the things away, but Shi Wei said: "Xiu Gui Dao, no sword."

"If you don't use a sword, what do you use?"

"Use whatever comes in handy." Shi Wei sighed, "Anyway, it's very complicated, and I will show you to see it when I have a chance in the future."

"Okay." Cao Ruoyu muttered, "However, it's been so long, why haven't I seen Second Senior Brother yet? I told him that I would come back."

"Where did he go?" Xue Wendi asked.

"He has been guarding Sun Zhangjian for the past few days."

Xue Wendi looked at Wen Ke. Here, he is the one who knows Sun Yize's injury best.

But the other party did not speak.

Xue Wendi understood that they could only wait.

Sun Yi was seriously injured, especially the scimitar nailed into his spine, which almost paralyzed his lower body and made him unconscious.But fortunately, the scimitar was just an ordinary cold blade without any magic energy attached, so Sun Yize's inner alchemy was intact.On this basis, Wen Ke repaired his broken spine, sewed up the large and small wounds on his body, and then healed him with elixir. .

If nothing unexpected happened, he should be in a coma for ten days and a half months.

But somehow, on the third day, he woke up, even though he opened his eyes with a pair of lifeless eyes.

Wen Ke was standing beside his bed at that time, he lowered his eyes, he raised his eyes, and the two of them just looked at each other like this.

So close, yet so far away.It seems that there are thousands of mountains and rivers, a clear river, a flat boat, and one, two, or three of their closest relatives and loved ones.

Sun Yi seemed to want to speak, but he couldn't make a sound, and he was very tired after moving his lips twice, so he could only close his eyes and rest.After a while, he struggled to lift his heavy eyelids again, Wen Ke put his fingertips lightly on the center of his brows, and said in a low voice: "Sleep at ease, Xiaonian, my little uncle is here."

He seldom calls himself little martial uncle to him, but at this moment, it seems that if he said this, both of them would feel at ease.

They are the only relatives, and they have to cuddle up to each other for warmth so as not to fall down in this cold winter.

Sun Yi fell into a deep sleep again.

Wen Ke came out of the house and saw a young figure.

Standing at the bottom of the steps, Fu Ji asked hesitantly, "Elder Wen, how is he? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Wen Ke couldn't see his expression clearly, but in a daze, it seemed that he had returned to a night ten years ago, and 14-year-old Sun Yi asked himself: "Elder Wen, is there anything I can do for you?"

A young man is like a reed on the shore. You say he is resilient, and he falls down with a single swing of a sword, but you say he is fragile, and he still grows tenaciously in the bloody wind.They rose steadily in the rain and wind, and they blossomed, and then covered the mighty river.

Wen Ke said softly: "Help me keep a little boy, he has been haunted by nightmares recently, call him when necessary."

"it is good."

Fu Ji took over the task.

He would come to Sun Yize's side every day, watch over this sleepy man, and sit quietly for half a day, or even a whole day.Cao Ruoyu told him, second senior brother, you can go, I will watch over the senior senior brother, no problem.

Fu Ji was very grateful to him, but he also knew in his heart that when Xue Wendi woke up, they had to leave here to meet their master.

No matter how good Linyuan is, it is not their destination.

Fu Ji sat beside Sun Yize's bed blankly like an old tree.He looked at that pale face, like a piece of thin paper, which would break if touched lightly.He felt a dull pain in the tiger's mouth, and the clear and crisp sound of the iron chain breaking echoed repeatedly in his ears.

He was almost a murderer.

Fu Ji pursed his lips tightly, wanting to cry, but held back.

On the seventh day of the rain, Cao Ruoyu sent him a message, saying that Xue Wendi had woken up. Fu Ji hadn't figured out how to answer, and the other party rushed into the rain again: "I have to tell Elder Wen, second senior brother, are you coming?" Go back by yourself later!"

The boy quickly disappeared.

Fu Ji opened his mouth, and replied very lightly, "Hey, good."

He turned back and looked at the person on the bed carefully for a while.

Sun Yi actually hasn't moved much these days. Even if he is trapped in a nightmare, he just hums twice and won't make much movement.

Fu Ji thought about whether to hold his hand, but he never had the courage, so he could only pat him lightly through the quilt.

But now, I'm leaving, maybe I won't come back.

Fu Ji stared at him, as if making up his mind, reached out and rubbed Sun Yize's frowning brows: "I'm leaving."

"Goodbye."

He added, feeling that the word was not good enough, so he changed his words, "I mean there will be a period later."

Fu Ji withdrew his hand and murmured, "Wake up, don't forget me."

When the low voice dissipated in the room, there was no one beside the bed.

Fu Ji rushed back to join Xue Wendi and the others.

The group did not stay too long and decided to leave early.After tidying up, Xue Wendi went to see Sun Yize, who was still in a coma, so it was inconvenient for him to say much, leaving only Zhang Xiaojian.

After that, Wen Ke sent them out of Linyuan Mountain Gate.

"Out of the mountain gate, go straight down to Qingbo City. You can find someone to ask about the ferry, and then leave by boat."

"Take care and honor it."

"You too."

Wen Ke's expression was really not relaxed, Cao Ruoyu smiled: "Elder Wen, I will write to you, and you can reply to me when you have time."

"Ah."

Wen Ke agreed.

There was no rain at the mountain gate, it was sunny and sunny, Xue Wendi walked in the front, Shi Wei and Zhang He protected Li Xian down the mountain, Cao Ruoyu walked in the back.They went farther and farther away, as if they would never come back.

Wen Ke felt lost.

The boy at the end suddenly turned his head and shouted at him: "Elder Wen, I will miss you! You will miss me too!"

His voice lingered in the mountains, over and over again, passing Wen Ke's ears.

"it is good."

Wen Ke smiled softly, with a lot of joy in his heart, and finally diluted the depression and boredom during this period of time.

He turned and walked back, he still had a lot to do, he couldn't stay too long.

"We will be good friends from now on!"

Cao Ruoyu yelled, and I don't know if the other party heard it, so he slapped Shi Wei on the back of the head: "It's so noisy. Whose friends are bluffing like you, do you miss me and I miss you?"

"But I think Elder Wen is very lonely. It would be better if someone misses him."

Cao Ruoyu rubbed his head and said in a muffled voice, Shi Wei shook his head: "I'm so sore, let's go, how can I hear you so far away?"

"Oh."

Cao Ruoyu didn't pay much attention to it, and still happily followed behind him.
