Breeze carrying feathers

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the night is silent.

The rivers and lakes outside are surging again, but it has nothing to do with this superb scene.

The warmth in the south came very early, and it was still March, but Shu Yuqian had already taken off his thick clothes and put on ordinary long gowns.

He stood in the courtyard and glanced outside.Among the jagged tree shadows, there is a sitting figure leaning against a tree, facing the silver-studded river.He was holding a flute in his hand, and the melody of the flute fluttered in this paradise, ethereal and clear.

Shu Yuqian turned around and entered the room.

There is only one candle burning in the house, but it can already illuminate most of the house.In the middle of the room sat a middle-aged man, sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, his feet soaked in a wooden barrel, and steam was bubbling from the barrel—he was soaking his feet.

This man turned out to be Liu Chenjun who was rumored to have died in the outside world!

It's just that his spirit doesn't look as good as before. It's only been a few months, which seems to make him more than half of his age.The hair on the temples hangs down, and a few strands of snow white can be seen.

He closed his eyes, and said leisurely: "Listening to the sound of the flute, it is...very sad."

Shu Yuqian pursed her mouth and did not speak, but the movement of carrying the water in her hands was much heavier, and the wooden basin was placed on the ground with a bang.

Liu Chenjun opened his eyes and said: "If you are not happy, then I just don't say anything."

He turned his head to look at the night outside the window, and talked about other topics, "Although this place is not as beautiful as Yuxianggu, it is also isolated from the world, and it is warmer than Yuxianggu."

Shu Yuqian whispered: "Master, you are no better than in the past. Living in a warmer place is much better for your health."

"Yes, yes..." Liu Chenjun nodded slightly, but felt a little lost, "When I think about how I was the best in the martial arts back then, but now I have lost all my martial arts, I am still not used to it."

Seeing that Shu Yuqian's expression had dimmed, he chuckled again and said, "When I first entered Yuxiang Valley, I was not used to it, but in the end, I didn't regret it."

Shu Yuqian squatted down next to Liu Chenjun, gently held his hand on his lap, and whispered: "Master..."

"When I was young, I committed many sins in the rivers and lakes. Although I didn't kill people, many people died because of me. Now I can still have a life to live with you. This is God's great mercy to me gone."

Liu Chenjun raised his hand to gently stroke the top of Shu Yuqian's head, his palm was gentle, but for no reason Shu Yuqian thought of Nan Rufeng's hand that was as cold as ice all year round.

It's still cold outside, like the wind, are his hands and feet still cold?

"What are you thinking?" Liu Chenjun suddenly said, interrupting Shu Yuqian's thoughts.

Shu Yuqian lowered her head, leaned her head on Liu Chenjun's lap involuntarily, and said with some confusion: "I'm just thinking... For Rufeng, what am I, after all..."

Liu Chenjun laughed, and said: "You should ask Rufeng about this, but you shouldn't ask your teacher."

Shu Yuqian curled her lips and lowered her head.

Liu Chenjun raised his head again, looked at the window with the faint moonlight in his eyes, and said: "Rufeng is sorry for you, whether to forgive him or not, only you can make the decision, and you can't say anything as a teacher. It's just... you these days Since then, I have never been happy."

Shu Yuqian puffed up her cheeks and said angrily, "He squats outside every day, how can I be happy!"

Liu Chenjun pouted his chin towards the door, "Then you go and drive him away."

Seeing that Shu Yuqian's eyes were flickering, his expression was uneasy, and he still didn't move, Liu Chenjun sighed again: "Oh, you are reluctant."

"Who says I can't bear it!" Shu Yuqian jumped up abruptly, but surprised Liu Chenjun, "He... he hurt me like that, how can I be reluctant..."

As he said that, he turned around angrily, pushed open the door heavily, and went in the direction of the sound of the flute.Only Liu Chenjun was left facing the wide open door and shook his head.

When Shu Yuqian was three steps away from the figure under the tree, the sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

Nan Rufeng quickly closed his flute and stood up. By the way, he pressed his legs and feet to stabilize his heels. He held Shu Yuqian's wrist with one hand, and the other hand against Shu Yuqian's shoulder. His right leg just touched Shu Yuqian's left leg when he stepped forward. Knee, suddenly made Shu Yuqian unable to advance or retreat, in a dilemma.

Shu Yuqian raised his brows upside down, his eyes almost burst into flames, he glared at Nan Rufeng angrily and said, "What are you doing?!"

Nan Rufeng unconsciously relaxed a little bit of strength, but said with a wry smile: "I... I thought you were going to beat me again, brother. Although I am willing to be beaten by you, if you beat me every day, I will..."

His tone was no longer as frivolous and calm as before, on the contrary, he was more cautious, listening, he was actually much more sincere than before.

These days, Shu Yuqian has always ignored Nan Rufeng, but he has not allowed him to approach him.

Sometimes Nan Rufeng accidentally walked closer, or Shu Yuqian suddenly remembered the past and became angry, so he would rush over and beat Nan Rufeng up.At this time, Nan Rufeng could only stick to it.

At this moment Shu Yuqian shouted angrily: "Let go!"

The corner of Nan Rufeng's mouth twitched, feeling that his cheek was still a little sore from the slap last time, but he let go honestly.

Fortunately, Shu Yuqian didn't do anything this time, but just rubbed his wrist and looked at the river beside him angrily.

Nan Rufeng saw that Shu Yuqian was not in danger of suddenly exploding, so he said slowly: "Besides, every time you hit me, you will cry first..."

"Shut up!" Shu Yuqian yelled angrily again, and Nan Rufeng had no choice but to calm down again.

Looking at Shu Yuqian whose cheeks were flushed with anger and who could jump up all the time, Nan Rufeng couldn't help feeling a little comforted in his heart.

This look was much better than the lifeless and gloomy look they had just returned from Kunlun.

Even Shu Yuqian's face looked quite cute, Nan Rufeng wanted to reach out and touch it, but he still didn't dare.

Suddenly, I heard Shu Yuqian say sullenly: "For more than ten years, you have been harboring the hatred of your parents' tragic death in your heart, why didn't you say it?"

Nan Rufeng was startled, smiled wryly, and said, "What should I say..."

"Then you feel sad, why didn't you tell me?!" Shu Yuqian suddenly raised his head and looked directly at him, with tears in his eyes again, "Even if, even if we couldn't say it before, why, you, you and me, that, After that, why don’t you say anything?!”

His face turned red, but he still gritted his teeth and continued, "Even at that time, you still treat me as an outsider! Just because you treat me as an outsider, you have the heart to use me to make arrangements and cover up your identity , so that you can go to Kunlun smoothly..."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, the more he couldn't catch his breath. In the end, he was so out of breath that he couldn't speak at all. He simply stopped talking and burst into tears.

Nan Rufeng couldn't help panicking again.If it was before, he was confident that he could coax Shu Yuqian, but now he has become at a loss.

He stretched out his hand, and carefully tapped Shu Yuqian's sleeve with his fingertips. Seeing that the other party didn't intend to slap him away, he put his palm on Shu Yuqian's shoulder, speaking softly. And cautiously persuaded: "Brother, you... why are you crying again, haven't you hit me yet... Or, how about you hit me a few more times?"

But Shu Yuqian jumped forward, threw herself into Liu Rufeng's arms, and said intermittently while choking: "I'm so angry! Why do you treat me so much, but I still like you so much! Why!!"

He spoke fiercely, but Nan Rufeng's ears felt like a ray of spring breeze. The big rock that had been pressing in his heart for several months finally settled down slowly.

He lowered his head and hugged the man who was crying in his arms tightly.

Last night Shu Yuqian was quite late and didn't come back, so Liu Chenjun simply stopped waiting for him and went to sleep by himself.

Although he lost all his martial arts, his five senses were not weakened. He could clearly hear Shu Yuqian's cry last night.

Although she felt sorry for her apprentice, she also knew that if Shu Yuqian didn't cry out, crying out the bitterness in her heart, she would never be relieved.

When he woke up early in the morning, the first thing he did was to see what was going on with Shu Yuqian.

Although he was more worried about Nan Rufeng, that guy was physically strong after all, not as weak as Shu Yuqian. On balance, it was Shu Yuqian who was more prone to accidents.

When he arrived at Shu Yuqian's room, he saw that the door was closed tightly, he pushed it lightly, and locked it from the inside.

Liu Chenjun walked around to the window at the back of the house and gently opened a crack, only to see Shu Yuqian lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

Only then did he feel relieved, and went to the kitchen to get the seasonal fruit that Shu Yuqian put there last night. While eating, he walked slowly around the residence, thinking about how to solve lunch.

This newly found hermitage is also adjacent to a small river, and Liu Chenjun walked to the river unconsciously.

He heard the sound of splashing water from upstream, followed the sound, and saw a half-naked man bending over to feel something in the shallow water.Liu Chenjun took a closer look, and it was indeed his second apprentice Nan Rufeng.

This early spring is cold and cold, and the river water is snow melted from the mountains, so cold to the bone.

After all, Liu Chenjun still felt sorry for his apprentice, and hurriedly asked: "Rufeng, what did you lose?! It's so cold, you should come up first."

When Nan Rufeng heard his voice, he just paused, turned his head and smiled at his master, and then went back to doing his work.Presumably he had heard Master's footsteps coming a long time ago, but he didn't say hello.

Liu Chenjun felt that something was wrong, and said in a more emphatic tone: "Aren't you always with cold hands and feet? If you don't come up again, then your senior brother will feel sorry for you again."

Nan Rufeng just smiled when he heard the words, and said, "That's not very good."

Liu Chenjun finally came to his senses, shook his head and sighed: "You bastard, you think a lot. Then what are you looking for?"

Nan Rufeng sighed, but the corners of his mouth were smiling, and said: "Brother said that he would make fish at noon, and asked me to catch a few live fish back. He specifically emphasized that he wanted to live them." After finishing speaking, he sighed again. It can be seen that Shu Yuqian must be deliberately making things difficult for him.

Liu Chenjun had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, but at this moment, he noticed some bloodstains on Nan Rufeng's shoulders to the shoulder blades, and couldn't help being surprised again: "Rufeng, on your back..."

Nan Rufeng stood up from the water, and smiled inscrutablely at Liu Chenjun.
