Wrong Changhuan

To the southwest of Mingyue Tower, there is a secluded house, few people seem to move around, the houses are old and dry.

Since Lou Xiaolou left Jinxiu Garden, he went straight to this place.

It's just that before entering the hospital, I saw a few guards lying in a mess at the door. They didn't have any external injuries, but they were all fascinated by drugs.

Xie Tiandong and A Liu, who were imprisoned here earlier, have long since disappeared without a trace.

"I underestimated him..." Lou Xiaolou narrowed his eyes, "It's interesting to catch a mouse... I want to see how far he can run with a cripple..."

Then ordered a city-wide search and arrest.

Lou Xiaolou just walked a few steps, suddenly turned his head and said, "Is the person next door still there?"

"Go back to the main building, people are still there, everything is as usual. If you are still fine, you clamor to see Hall Master An..."

"Her, show me..."

"Yes!"

In Jinxiu Garden, a gust of wind passes by, and the tops of the crabapple trees are no longer covered by snow.

When Man Qiu followed the back foot and entered over the wall, what he saw was the scene of Lou Xiaolou leading people away.

Xie Baitang hadn't recovered from the shock and grief just now, and regardless of his dislike for An Cuo, he brought the unconscious Chang Huan back to the bed in the east wing.

"How could she be injured so badly?" Xie Baitang was very surprised to see the blood oozing from Chang Huan's back. It stands to reason that wearing winter clothes, even if the whip was heavier, it shouldn't have such a result.

An Cuo ignored it, and helped carefully peel off Chang Huan's clothes. When the mottled scars and the old scars that had swollen and suppurated came into view, he couldn't help frowning and trembling his hands.

Why, her injury is not serious but serious?

Seeing this, Man Qiu was also very surprised, and said in a low voice, "How could this be?"

Xie Baitang stepped forward and touched the pus wound lightly, his eyes skipped over the entire back, and he couldn't find a good piece, heartbroken, and said, "Who hurt her before? And who sprinkled salt on her wound?" Symptoms, she is a person who has been refining drugs all year round, how could she not be clear.

An Cuo turned his head and looked at Man Qiu coldly.

Man Qiu explained, "Yesterday, Yichun and I went to the backyard to cook medicine for wind-cold and internal injuries after the previous injury. The back injury is...Banxia offered to help with the medicine..."

Xie Baitang frowned, turned to look at An Cuo, and asked again, "Who hurt Xiaonuan before?"

An Cuo looked at the glaring scar and said, "It's me..."

With a clear and crisp sound, Xie Baitang was extremely angry, and slapped An Cuo hard.

Bai Qing was on the side, exclaiming in surprise.

An Cuo didn't dodge, and the five-finger red mark instantly appeared on his fair face.

"Get out--" Xie Baitang said, pushing An Cuo away.

After An Cuo staggered two steps, he froze at the foot of the bed.

"Bold--"

"Back off!" Seeing that Man Qiu was about to step forward, An Cuo immediately stopped her, and finally glanced back at the person on the couch, and said quietly, "Let's go..."

Xie Baitang approached the lattice frame in the corner next to him, found the silver needle and Jinchuang medicine, and then turned to tell Bai Qing to prepare the things.

Not long after, what was found was ready.

Only Xie Baitang and Chang Huan were left in the house.

Xie Baitang sat by the bed, lowered his head and carefully punctured the abscess with a silver needle, squeezed out the pus, then moistened a cloth towel with hot water, wiped it carefully, and applied the medicine.

At an age like flowers and jade, she is already riddled with holes, and she has endured too much pain, which is not the pain she should bear.

"Ah Cuo--" Chang Huan lay on the bed, groaned, and woke up from the pain.

"Xiao Nuan..." Xie Baitang squatted down, gently wiped the sweat from Chang Huan's forehead, and said with red eyes, "Does it hurt?"

"It's like...scratching an itch..." Chang Huan whispered and squeezed out an ugly smile, and said again, "Where is wrong?"

"I chased her away..." Xie Baitang got up and sat on the side of the bed again, continuing to apply the medicine, "She obviously hurt you before, why didn't she say so?"

"It's none of Ah Cuo's business, it's actually...Lou Xiaolou..." Chang Huan gripped the bed sheet under his body with the pain in his back.

The room was silent for a while, only the wind beat the window paper mercilessly.

Chang Huan thought about Ah Cuo, longing for the past, and even a little bit of confusion and jealousy in the past turned into the sweetness and loveliness in his memory, so he asked, "Aniang, is it... people are like this?" , because you had such a wonderful experience, are you reluctant to let go?"

The movements of Xie Baitang's subordinates suddenly stopped.At this time, for some reason, she suddenly thought of Jing Jiuge.

"Mother? Did I... ask the wrong question?"

"No..." Xie Baitang continued to apply the medicine, and said softly, "Probably, if you are really moved... it will be difficult to get out..."

Chang Huan put his hands on his chin and thought about it.

Ah Cuo, I am so happy that you can come today, you... don't you, although you don't remember, you are still really moved?

Wrong, I will not give up on you... There will always be someone who will cross the mountains and heavy buildings and come to you without fear of frost, ice and snow.

Ah Cuo, this fiery heart is only here to warm you...

Wrong, do you feel it?

Xie Baitang took the medicine, took the clean underwear that Baiqing had prepared early in the morning to the bedside, and helped Chang Huan change into it.

Chang Huan sat up, and deliberately turned his back when dressing so that Xie Baitang could not see her expression, although he grinned in pain, he didn't say a word of pain.

After Chang Huan put on her underwear, she knelt on the bed, Xie Baitang sat beside her and stroked her cheek, and asked softly, "Xiao Nuan, why are you so stupid?"

The stupid ones are desperate, and the stupid ones make her feel bad.

"Stupid people have stupid blessings... Fuduo eliminates troubles..." Chang Huan said jokingly, then quietly stroked Xie Baitang's hand, and said, "Aniang, I am not afraid of pain, nor of Lou Xiaolou... "Compared to the fear in my heart, what is this...

Xie Baitang's heart was moved, but he was speechless for a moment, he could only hold Chang Huan's hands tightly, and lowered his eyes.

Chang Huan sat on his knees and approached him, "Whether it's true love or family affection, it's worth risking your life to protect, isn't it?"

"Yes--" Xie Baitang smiled and nodded, tears splashed on Chang Huan's wrist.

Chang Huan stretched out his hand, gently wiped away the tears on Xie Baitang's face, and said, "Don't be afraid, Auntie, as long as I'm here... I will protect you..."

Xie Baitang gently hugged Chang Huan into his arms, avoiding her back, stroking that little head one after another, and said softly, "From now on, Auntie will protect you, okay?"

Chang Huan shook his head and said, "How about we protect each other..."

"it is good--"

"Aniang, I want to see Ah Cuo..."

Xie Baitang let go of Chang Huan, and said scrupulously, "You just took the medicine now..."

"It's just a small injury, it will be healed soon..." Chang Huan said coquettishly shaking Xie Baitang's hand, looking expectant.

Xie Baitang couldn't resist, took the coat and cloak to help her put on, and handed over the muff that had been prepared, and said, "Try it, see if you like it..."

"Aniang, did you do this?" Chang Huan was delighted, he put his hands through, looked around in front of him, only felt white and soft, with a hint of warmth, nodded with a smile, " I like it, it's so warm... In winter, I won't be afraid of cold hands anymore..."

Seeing that Chang Huan rubbed the muff against his face again, Xie Baitang couldn't help smiling, and said, "Go, go early and come back early... I'll make you a delicious dinner..."

Until sending Chang Huan to the gate of the courtyard, Xie Baitang still wanted to move on, but was blocked by the guards at the gate and Bai Qing behind him.

"Don't worry, Mommy, I'll be back later..."

Chang Huan had just left the Jinxiu Garden and came to the courtyard road when she saw a person suddenly jumping down from the wall, which startled her.

Chang Huan said, "Why are you here?"

Man Qiu said, "Master sent me to watch here... Where are you going?"

Chang Huan said as he walked, "I'll go to Jing Yuan and find Ah Cuo..."

"Does your body still hurt?" Man Qiu lowered his head as if he had done something wrong.

"It's all right... My aunt said that the abscess is broken, and it will be cured soon after taking the medicine..." Chang Huan suddenly turned his head and said, "Man Qiu, thank you..."

Man Qiu was a little puzzled by this sentence, and said, "You...why thank me?"

Chang Huan smiled slightly and said, "You have been taking good care of me before. I guess you helped me with the matter of Jinxiu Garden today... Also, you secretly protected Ah Cuo. In any case, Man Qiu, I should thank you you..."

Man Qiu was very thin-skinned, scratched his head, and said, "Everything is for the sake of the master, and protecting the master is my duty as a guard... Miss Nuan said so, I really dare not be..."

Chang Huan listened to the familiar words, looked at the cheeks that were reddish due to shyness, his nose suddenly became sore, and his eyes were red.

Man Qiu asked with concern, "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"

Chang Huan shook his head, pursed his lips and smiled slightly, and said, "You remind me of someone..."

"Oh, then this person is very important to you..."

"Well, it's very important."

On the long road, the snow had cleared, and the two walked unhurriedly. After a moment of silence, they chatted casually.

Man Qiu said, "That...do you know my name?"

"I've heard Ah Cuo call it that... the name Man Qiu is very nice and easy to remember."

After hearing this, Man Qiu smiled embarrassedly, and said, "It's the master's name... I also think it sounds nice..."

Chang Huan smiled slightly and said, "Among the four seasons, Ah Cuo dislikes winter the least, followed by summer, and spring and autumn are his favorites... one spring, full autumn, pinellia...isn't it called winter?" name?"

Man Qiu was a little surprised, and said, "This...you know all about it?"

Chang Huan didn't answer, but just remembered what Ah Cuo said about the four seasons before.

An Cuo said that summer is too hot and winter is frosty, only spring and autumn are not strong or strong, which is just right.

Chang Huan said that Confucius edited "Spring and Autumn" and named it this because the sun rises due east and sets due west during spring and autumn, the sun is impartial, and equal division is the most fair. name.Ah Cuo, like Confucius, do you like fairness and justice?

An Cuo smiled and said, no, because there are flowers in spring and beautiful moons in autumn.And I like autumn the most, do you know why?

Chang Huan said, why?

An made a mistake and said, because I met you on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It wasn't until Man Qiu's light cough interrupted Chang Huan's memory when he was approaching Jing Yuan.

Man Qiu stammered, "That...that..."

Seeing Man Qiu's embarrassment, Chang Huan stamped his feet, puzzled and said, "What do you want to say...you might as well just say it..."

Man Qiu stopped, and suddenly knelt down on one knee towards Chang Huan.

"What are you doing?" Chang Huan reached out to pull her, but Man Qiu didn't get up.

Man Qiu touched her knee with one hand, lowered her head and said, "Your injury is caused by Banxia behind the scenes. It is her fault to sprinkle salt on your wound, but the master has already punished her...I beg you not to Take it to my heart... I will apologize to you on her behalf, and beg you to forgive me."

"You get up first and then talk..."

Man Qiu was unmoved, and raised her head and said, "Miss Nuan, Ban Xia grew up with us since she was a child. She is outspoken and dedicated to the master. If you don't forgive her, the master will not let her go back to Jingyuan Of...I beg you, help to talk to the master, let her stay..."

It is Ah Cuo's character that revenge must be revenged.

Chang Huan thought for a moment, and said, "I don't blame her, and I can talk to Ah Cuo, but I can't give you any guarantee...you can get up now..."

"Really?" Man Qiu's eyes lit up, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly.

Chang Huan nodded.

Yang Yan once said that if you plant melons, you will reap beans. If you treat others with tolerance, you will also get tolerance from others.For Pinellia, Chang Huan doesn't expect anything extravagantly, but only hopes that there will be less incidents in the future, and everything will be fine and thankful.

Man Qiu said gratefully, "Thank you for Pinellia." After speaking, he didn't refuse Chang Huan's support and got up.

Chang Huan walked and said, "You said, Ah punished Pinellia by mistake?"

"Yes, once the master returned to Jingyuan, he asked Yichun to send Banxia to the Discipline Hall, and said..."

"say what?"

Man Qiu looked at Chang Huan, frowned and said, "Say... what you bear, Ban Xia will have to bear one by one... so fifty floggings, you have to sprinkle salt on the wound, and drive out of Jingyuan, it's over. .”

Chang Huan didn't speak.

"Actually, Banxia confessed to the truth and was not afraid of other things. What she was afraid of was that the master would drive her out... That's why I want you to forgive her, and beg for mercy for Banxia in front of the master... I'm afraid it's only useful if you say it."

"How long have you been following Ah Cuo?"

"Five years."

Five years... If you want to hurry up... Ah Cuo... has not changed at all, it is still the same Ah Cuo.

Jingyuan, the snow in the courtyard has been swept into piles, and several hillocks have been built in front of the west wing.

Dressed in white and with a red belt, she is dancing with a sword like a selfless person, a person is like a dragon swimming, and a sword is like a gust of wind, one move after another, fast and dripping.

Chang Huan was at the hospital entrance, staring blankly at this scene, as if he had returned to Zizai Valley.

An Cuo suddenly glanced at the approaching person, jumped up, put the silver-winged purple cicada sword behind his back, and looked up at Chang Huan.

After Man Qiu nodded, he had already exited the door.

Chang Huan approached and saw that Ah Cuo was sweating profusely, but the red marks on his face were extremely eye-catching. He said distressedly, "I sweated after practicing swords, so I can't blow the cold wind... let's go inside... "As he spoke, he stepped forward.

An Cuo only felt that the host and the guest were upside down, and smiled as if it was very interesting, but obediently followed into the house, and put the sword back into the scabbard.

As soon as he turned around, seeing Chang Huan suddenly approaching him, An Cuo's heart jumped rapidly.And she thought, it must be because Fang practiced his skills too quickly and he hadn't slowed down for a while, it must be because of this time.

Chang Huan took out a white handkerchief from his sleeve, put his feet on his fair face, and carefully wiped off the sweat.

An Cuo didn't refuse, but just looked at the person in front of him, lost in thought.

Chang Huan lightly stroked the red mark left by the slap again, and asked softly, "Did my aunt hit you?"

"Yes."

"Does it hurt?"

"Should I ask you this?" An Cuo smelled a scent of medicine and sent it forward.

"I'm much better..." Chang Huan couldn't resist Ah Cuo's direct eyes, let go of his hands and looked around, and said, "Do you have any medicine here? I'll help you apply it, it will get better soon. "

A hand suddenly stretched out in front of Chang Huan, and on that hand lay a small porcelain bottle quietly.

Chang Huan pulled Ah Cuo to sit down on the short side of the room, and gently twisted a plaster from the porcelain bottle.

An Cuo let Chang Huan smear on his face. Seeing the careful movements and concerned eyebrows, An Cuo couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "Why did you come?"

"I want to come..." Chang Huan said, his hands kept moving.

"I yesterday...you don't hate me?"

"Don't hate..."

"Why?"

"Because, you are wrong..."

An Cuo suddenly stopped the hand that was growing on his cheek, and said, "Ban Xia, I've already dealt with it..."

Chang Huan's face turned red in an instant, and he let Ah Cuo hold his hand in his palm, and said, "I forgive her for Ban Xia, and you will be punished as well, so let her be left..."

"Man Qiu asked you to intercede?" An Cuo frowned slightly.

"Um..."

"What about you?" An Cuo still held Chang Huan's hand and slowly lowered it.

"Ah Cuo, I have no idea, I just don't want you to lose someone who has been with you for all these years and is dedicated to you..." Chang Huan lowered his head as he said.

"For self-righteous slaves, staying is the only way to cause endless trouble." An Cuo said coldly, "I won't keep her...Some people don't deserve a second chance..."

It's just that these words, in Chang Huan's ears, have a different taste, sour and bitter in his heart.

Chang Huan raised his head and murmured, "What about me?"

"Lin Xiaonuan, I don't know you either." An Cuo said coldly, like the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month hurting Chang Huan's eyes.

"If I'm just a stranger to you, then why did you go to Jinxiu Garden today and why did you save me?"

An Cuo didn't speak, as if he was very interested in what he had in hand, he stroked Chang Huan's palm and said, "How did you get the scar here?" As he spoke, he grabbed Chang Huan's other hand and looked at it with great interest. with.

"At the beginning, in order to help someone, I got the antidote for the front line..."

After hearing it wrong, An suddenly froze on the spot, and said coldly, "Next time, you won't say that that person is me, right?"

"Ah Cuo, your thread has been untied, you want to be free, and no one can stop you now... Would you like to go with me, let's get out of here... okay?"

An Cuo let go of Chang Huan's hand suddenly, and said, "This is my home."

With red eyes, Chang Huan shook her head and said, "No...this is your cage... Zizai Valley is your home and our home..."

"Do you think, if you say that, I will believe you?"

"Ah Cuo, I won't lie to you..." Chang Huan wiped away his tears, saw the Ye Mingzhu on the short table, and said anxiously, "I'm afraid of the dark. On the day I arrive in Zizai Valley, you can take one of them." You said that such a big luminous pearl was specially found for me as a gift, but you also said that you have been looking for that luminous pearl for a long time... I like sweet-scented osmanthus sponge cake. I bought it because I was afraid of the cold on the road, so you put it in your arms, but you fell in the dark, and the sweet-scented osmanthus cakes were all crowded together. cake......"

An Cuo listened to this unfamiliar story and said, "The person you're talking about can't be me..."

"You said that you like white clothes because when you were begging in the past, you thought white clothes were the cleanest and most beautiful... You said that steamed buns are the most delicious thing in the world..."

When An Cuo heard this, his complexion changed instantly, his brows were deeply frowned, and he said, "How did you know?"

With tears in his eyes, Chang Huan smiled suddenly, as if he had seen hope, and continued, "Ah Cuo, when you came to Jiangling on the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yang Yan unwrapped the condensed incense for you...August [-]th, at Moonwatching Let's talk together by the spring, you said you have no friends, I said I will be your friend... When you were in Jiangling Bieyuan, you told me a warm story... You also said, you like me, You said you like my eyes the most...and I like you too...I like the cinnabar mole on your chest..."

An Cuo suddenly put his hands on his head and rubbed his head, as if he had a splitting headache, he stopped and said, "Stop talking!"

Chang Huan stepped forward and said with concern, "Ah Cuo, what's wrong with you?"

An Cuo looked up, and saw a ray of bright red slowly flowing down from the left nostril.
