Luoshui Dongliu

Lu Youzhi's hands and feet were tied, and a white scarf was stuffed in his mouth. He couldn't move or speak, but his face was full of shock and anger.Zhao Shen frowned slightly when he saw it, and turned to Zhou Qian, "What's going on?"

Zhou Gandao: "One is to prevent him from yelling, and the other... is to prevent him from biting his tongue and committing suicide."

Zhao Shen raised his thick eyebrows when he heard this, looked at Lu Youzhi for a moment, and said to Zhou Gan: "Then tie it up like this, let him fall in front of me, die as he wants, and live as he wants." After saying that, he shook the curtain gone.When he reached the door, he asked Zhou Qian in a low voice, "You did it neatly."

Zhou Qiandao: "Don't worry, general, the one who died was a captured scout from the Xiyan Army. Only the three of us know about this."

Zhao Shendao: "In the future, Lu Youzhi's food and clothing will be taken care of by you, don't ask others to intervene in this matter."

Zhou Qian said with a smile: "I have been serving the general for these years, so it doesn't matter if I add another one here."

Zhao Shen's eyes flickered for a moment, and he smiled without answering.

Lu Youzhi looked around in the inner tent, he had never seen the surrounding layout, but he guessed from the furnishings that it was Zhao Shen's sleeping tent, presumably no one else could get in or out.He used to come to Zhao Shen's tent often, and when he saw the couch in it, he thought he was resting outside, but he didn't know that there was another hole inside.

He recalled what happened just now, and he felt his blood surge up.Xindao Zhao Shen beheaded a scapegoat, but got him here, how would it end if he was ganged up?I also felt that my limbs were bound tightly by iron, and I almost lost my consciousness, and my heart became more anxious, but there was nothing I could do, so I had to endure it.

There was nothing to say during the day, until the first watch, when Zhao Shen returned to the tent, it was Zhou Gan who was on duty outside the door.Seeing Zhao Shen, he secretly stuffed a cloth bag with him.

Zhao Shen asked suspiciously, "What is this?"

Zhou Gan smiled and said, "Pharmaceuticals."

Zhao Shen was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help laughing and cursing: "You're a weirdo."

He went through the main room and entered the inner tent, and saw that Lu Youzhi was still lying on the ground, seemingly asleep.Zhao Shen stepped forward and untied the rope, and took out the white scarf from his mouth.Lu Youzhi woke up with a soft snort, and saw Zhao Shen when he opened his eyes.During the day, he read countless questioning words and phrases in his mind, but at this moment he didn't know where to start, he just stood there in a daze.

Seeing him frowned and gritted his teeth, Zhao Shen only stared at himself, and said calmly: "Shouldn't you thank me for not killing me?"

Lu Youzhi was tied up for most of the day, and the blood flow from his hands and feet was stagnant. At this time, the tie was suddenly loosened, and he felt numbness in his limbs and weakness in his whole body.If not, he really wanted to punch Zhao Shen.After enduring it for a long time, he finally said in a deep voice, "What are you doing to imprison me here?"

Zhao Shen said: "It's nothing."

When Lu Youzhi saw that he was in a hurry, his blood rushed to his head, and he said angrily, "If I die today, everything will be a relief, but you.... This will cause endless troubles for you and me!"

Zhao Shen said: "This is also strange, but you are in a hurry to die?"

Lu Youzhi said: "I am already dead in front of people. Even if I am alive, I am neither human nor ghost! Sooner or later, if someone finds out, I will die ten times worse than today, and what will you do then? Confess! Such a stupid thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself, I am so stupid, I really don’t understand why you have spent so much effort on it?”

His voice was so urgent that his voice was hoarse.But Zhao Shen just kept silent, and after a while he said: "I only know that if I really kill you, I will never see you again." His voice was not high, and his tone was vague, especially with a bit of loneliness, talking to him on weekdays very different.

Hearing this, Lu Youzhi was also startled suddenly, and couldn't help staring at Zhao Shen in a daze.Although he used to feel that Zhao Shen treated him kindly, but because he never heard him express his heart, he always only thought that he was unrequited love.Hearing Zhao Shen say this at this moment, he couldn't help but be tongue-tied and froze on the spot.Zhao Shen's face was silent, he only looked down at the ground, his eyes were completely hidden in the shadow of his eyebrows, his face became more angular and stern.Lu Youzhi looked at him, his heart was turbulent, and it was hard to tell the joys and sorrows.When he was insane before, he thought that if he could face Zhao Shen day and night, he would be willing no matter what; but at this moment, even if he was in front of Zhao Shen every day, he was just a plaything in his hands; His mind was completely insulted and ruined. It turned out that in this life, how could he not escape the fate of being caught in the palm of others?Thinking of this, I felt even more ironic and ridiculous, and finally said with a sad smile: "Then you love flowers and you want to put them in a bottle, and you love birds and you want to keep them in a cage? You imprison me here, but you don't want my identity to be as embarrassing as you are." Si, and there is nothing to do and no one to see, you are a living dead." Touching the bitterness, the voice trembled uncontrollably.

Hearing these words, Zhao Shen felt that someone had slapped him across the face, and he was thrown to the ground full of respect.After a while, I could only suppress the pain in my heart and said: "I kept you alive, not to embarrass you."

Lu Youzhi closed his eyes and said: "Why don't you understand, you and I have only evil fate in this life, why do you force yourself to violate the destiny and refuse to let go?"

When he said this, no matter how hard Zhao Shen could bear it, he suddenly stood up, gold stars flashed in front of his eyes, several steel knives were stabbed in his heart, his nose and eyes were full of soreness.He stood silent for a long while, then managed to calm down and said, "You can't get out even if you tell the truth. Don't do anything stupid. You are here, and I'm sleeping outside."

For two days in a row, Zhao Shen did not come back, Lu Youzhi only looked at the texture of the floor, the creases of the pillow every day, and the shadow of the sun moving inch by inch from east to west.He was imprisoned here, like a living person entering a grave. The first day he thought, how can he still die by biting his tongue and going on a hunger strike?After thinking about it, he felt ridiculous, he had no resources to resist right now, and he was looking for life and death like a woman, but for whom would he do it?He thought so, but there was a bit of stubbornness that he carried with Zhao Shen.But in the end he was disheartened, but he was trying to hold on. On the third night, his whole body became hot, and he couldn't help laughing wryly in a daze. Zhong also said that he was dead, and the Yuchi family thought that he would be commended if he killed himself and became benevolent.But if this is the case, he will never show up again.Not to mention the reason for the resurrection from the dead is impossible to explain anyway, if he shows up in the Yuchi family, it will become a joke, and there is no way for him to go back.For this one thing only, Zhao Shen tied himself with him with a rope, not afraid that he would have the desire to escape.

Lu Youzhi sneered to himself, such a hard-hearted and bold, really is like what Zhao Shen has always done.In the past, he just praised him for his decisiveness, but he didn't want this method to be applied to him one day.

He looked around and saw that the furnishings in this tent were very simple, only a pipa was placed on the corner of the wall, his heart moved slightly, he couldn't help walking over to pick it up and hugged it in his arms.If you look closely, there are only three strings.Touching it with his hands, he felt that the strings were quite hard, and he didn't have a plectrum in his hand, so he gently plucked it with his nails, but he could hear the sound of gold and stone in his ears, clear and clear, with a sonorous aftertaste.

Lu Youzhi always knew that Zhao Shen was not very good at rhythm, opera and music, but unexpectedly he had such a good pipa in his hand.Just as he was thinking, Zhao Shen had opened the curtain and entered.When Lu Youzhi saw him coming, he had nothing to say and just lowered his eyes.

Zhao Shen sat down next to him and said, "This is my father's favorite thing. He once raised a girl playing the pipa, and she is the best at using this pipa."

Lu Youzhi heard that it was Zhao Jing's stuff, and couldn't help frowning, neither hugging nor letting go, so he had to ask instead: "What happened to this girl?"

Zhao Shendao: "My father put her in this internal account, and even my son didn't find out for years. My father died five years ago, and no one cared about her. I haven't seen her since. If you take advantage of the chaos and leave, you may be dead."

When Lu Youzhi heard him speak so plainly, he felt chills all over his body.Zhao Jing hides her beauty in this golden house, does she really have love for the pipa girl who has never seen the sun?Chunxiao is easy to save in a moment, half a lifetime is no one to pity, when Zhao Jing died suddenly, no one cared about his Aiji's life and death.

Zhao Shen looked at him and said: "I was worried that you would not eat or drink."

Lu Youzhi smiled and said: "Now I have to be at your mercy. Naturally, there are countless ways to prevent me from dying. Why should I pretend to be in front of you? What's more, I don't want to die deliberately. You can see that I am in the cage." Do birds live long?"

Zhao Shen saw that his face was indifferent, resigned to fate and resigned to fate, and felt very depressed.After a moment of silence, he said in a muffled voice, "Are you saying these words on purpose for me to listen to?"

Lu Youzhi laughed lightly and said, "I'm telling the truth, I didn't do it on purpose. If you listen carefully, then you must have done it on purpose."

He also didn't want to argue with Zhao Shen, so he remained silent for a while.He actually understands Zhao Shen's infatuation that imprisoned him, but Zhao Shen does not understand the painstaking efforts he does not want to appreciate: he only knows how to hold on firmly so that he will not lose it, but he does not know that some things in the world are like quicksand between fingers, the tighter he holds, Lose faster.

Thinking of this, he felt more pain in his heart.Originally, he was hot and lacked energy, but now he swayed slightly, and hurriedly put the pipa back on the ground, and supported the ground with his hands.When Zhao Shen entered the door, he saw that his face was red, he couldn't stop touching his forehead, and asked anxiously, "You're so hot?"

Lu Youzhi turned his head away and did not answer.This time he hid, he left Zhao Shen's arm hanging there, neither advancing nor retreating.Zhao Shen was stunned for a moment, his expression seemed to be at a loss, not only what he was thinking at the moment.Lu Youzhi caught a glimpse of his thick eyebrows gradually frowning, like the peaks of distant mountains, and knew that he was hurting Zhao Shen's heart, but otherwise, what should he do?For a moment, he made up his mind and closed his eyes.

Unexpectedly, his body was suddenly hugged by Zhao Shen.Lu Youzhi was astonished, and his whole body froze there.Zhao Shen exerted a lot of force, touching the unhealed wound on his body during his movements, he couldn't help snorting.Zhao Shen said in a muffled voice, "You haven't applied medicine for the past two days, so you have a fever?" Before Lu Youzhi could answer, he put him on the couch.

Lu Youzhi wanted to struggle, but he couldn't beat Zhao Shen.He didn't know what Zhao Shen was going to do, he just felt that this posture was extremely embarrassing, he was also in pain a few days ago, and in a hurry he shouted: "Stop!"

Just listen to Zhao Shen said: "I stop, but you are dying of sores here?"

Lu Youzhi's injury would have healed after a few more days, but because he hadn't taken care of it for the past two days, the injury recurred.Zhao Shen remembered that Zhou Qian had given him the medicine, but two days ago he didn't speculate and forgot about it.Thinking about it, with Lu Youzhi's stubbornness, how could he open his mouth to ask for wound medicine.Complaining about Lu Youzhi and himself, he finally said, "Don't move, I'll cook for you."

As he spoke, he went to the outer tent to wash his hands with clean water, took a few more things, and returned to the inner tent.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Youzhi was about to get up, and couldn't help being annoyed at his stubbornness, so he rushed up and tore off his clothes.Lu Youzhi let out a low exclamation, but didn't dare to move again.Zhao Shen poured some wine and wet the white towel, and gently wiped the red and swollen area.Lu Youzhi only felt that there was something light and cool on his body, but Ma Susu's was not very uncomfortable. It was only after the stamina came that his skin was stinging and painful, as if being bitten by insects and ants, and he couldn't help but let out a low "um".

Just heard Zhao Shenyan say: "This is Du Kang, who was given to me a few years ago, but it is used by you today. It's a pity that other people's tongues are not blessed."

Lu Youzhi knew that Zhao Shen was not good at drinking, but he didn't expect him to use such good wine for this purpose. He really became a bull chewing peonies and wasted everything, and he felt even more ashamed, saying: "I dare not do it."

Zhao Shen didn't respond to him, he just took some wound medicine and applied it on him.Presumably it was because Zhao Shen had been using bows and arrows all year round, his fingers were rough and itched when they touched the skin that was growing new flesh; although the fingers were not soft, they were nimble and flexible, and they were not sloppy.Lu Youzhi lay on the couch, letting Zhao Shen play with him like a child.He watched his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his mouth with his heart. He couldn't help but feel weak at the bottom of his heart, and he quickly bit his lower lip.He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, his whole body was soft and soft, the light in the tent dyed his face crimson like the sky, it was really fragrant.

Zhao Shen also moved slightly in his heart, he wanted to hug Lu Youzhi into his arms, tell him how anxious and worried he was, how he hoped that he would say a few words of comfort to him.But although he and Lu Youzhi get along very close, there is an invisible chasm between them.The grievances of the parents and the enemies of the two armies are all trying to separate them.If it was a peaceful and prosperous age, they were all just princes of aristocratic families, and they could just focus on being happy for the moment, but in a chaotic world, tens of millions of lives were tied to their bodies, even though they were suffering, they could only grit their teeth and bear the burden.Thinking of this, Zhao Shen was terrified, he should not be so obsessed with the love of his children in front of the enemy, he couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly.

Lu Youzhi didn't notice Zhao Shen's movements for a long time, hesitated for a moment, looked back, met Zhao Shen and looked at him, both of them stared at him for a long time, biting countless words on their lips, but never said.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Shen put the medicine bottle in front of Lu Youzhi's eyes and said, "Apply the medicine yourself, and it will be fine in a few days." After that, he left without looking back.

In the middle of the night on the second day, Zhou Gan came in with a bookcase in his arms, and said to Lu Youzhi, "Your tent has been cleared for use. General Zhao privately ordered this to be taken out, and when it gets dark at night, no one will be there." See it for you."

Lu Youzhi waited for him to go out, and took out the books in the bamboo box one by one to examine them carefully.Most of the historical classics among them were brought from Xijing when he came to Los Angeles, and many of the rest were added in the past few years in Los Angeles.There are Buddhist scriptures and temples all over Luocheng, and there are many rare and rare books in their collections. Lu Youzhi also brought a pen and paper, and traveled between Buddhist temples for more than a month, just to transcribe a small note from the former eminent monk.

He rummaged through it, and found a volume of "Luohe Hydrology Research" at the bottom of the box, which he finally found after asking Zhao Shen after spending a lot of effort.At that time Zhao Shen still laughed at him and said: "If you like geography, you can go out with me on a horse and ride for a day. The mountains and rivers are all in your eyes. But you gouged out the door and drilled a hole to find a book. You can see the truth in this ink. Rivers and mountains." Lu Youzhi smiled when he recalled the past.Open the first page, and see a column on the header that reads: "Luo Shui You You, its origin and flow are long", with his name and inscription in the middle, which was inscribed when Zhao Shen gave the book to him that day.

At the same time, I picked up another picture page, but it depicted Sakyamuni Buddha talking about the eight sufferings: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and parting, resentment and hatred, not getting what you want, and the five aggregates.When Lu Youzhi saw the Buddha sitting on the lotus platform surrounded by distressed beings, he felt something in his heart, so he couldn't help but took up his pen and wrote beside it: "Be careful with caution."

He has a scroll, and he is happy to pass the time with it, and sometimes he writes two posts when he is a little interested.It's just a matter of posting, it is important to unite the heart and hands, and there is no distraction. Although the writing is someone else's handwriting, it is my own heart, and I need to calm down.After all, Lu Youzhi is depressed, and his writing is unavoidably sluggish, and it is always difficult to have a free and easy atmosphere. Often he is just at the beginning, and after writing a few lines, he becomes a scribble.Sometimes I get angry when I see it, so I dip it in ink and black it out.

He wasted his days like this, if he hadn't drawn the number on the wall, he would have forgotten the days.It seems that he has been here for more than half a month, and his injury has healed well.The clothes are loose, but I don't realize that I have become thinner.He was detained in the inner tent, but he didn't know the major events that happened during this period.
