That day Zhuo Yingxian took You Xiaoyi back to Lvqiqin, immediately went to Xiang Yushu's room, took out all the remaining equipment and objects of the red anaconda, dug a hole in the backyard garden and buried it.

Although You Xiao couldn't help much when digging the pit, he was also good at ventilating and filling it. After half an hour of hard work, the two of them restored everything to its original state, and ordinary people couldn't see it at all.

As soon as they returned to Zhuo Yingxian's room covered in sweat, they bumped into Miao Sheng who came to inquire about the situation.

Miao Sheng originally wanted to ask the two of them back, but was blocked by Duan Zhanmei's dog legs, and those people politely but still forcefully questioned Xiang Yu Shu's identity for a long time.

According to what he said before, Miao Sheng said that he wanted to find a book boy for You Xiao a few days ago, so he went to Ren Yazi, and soon Ren Yazi sent a few people, and You Xiao immediately fell in love with the simple and honest Xiang Erlang , and that's what's left.

Those dog legs didn't ask any more questions, and didn't explain to Miao Sheng, they only said that they wanted to search Xiang Yu Shu's residence.Miao Sheng naturally did not tell them the room where Xiang Yu Shu really lived, only said that he lived in the private room, and they hurried away, and Miao Sheng was able to escape.

He looked at Zhuo Yingxian and You Xiao who were disheveled and tired, and worried: "What did you guys do this trip?"

It was only then that Zhuo Yingxian felt a sharp pain in his right shoulder, and he lay on the table, not wanting to move, and said wearily, "Yu Shu was discovered by Duan Zhanmei's people."

"What about others? No..." Miao Sheng frowned slightly.

While talking, You Xiao ran out, and brought a basin of water in after a while, just when he heard this sentence, he replied casually: "It's okay, I was rescued by that very beautiful sister and serious brother."

Zhuo Yingxian: "..."

I'm so old!

No, the child keeps calling me brother, that won't work, I have to change my words.

Xu had lost too much blood, he felt a little dizzy, and started thinking wildly involuntarily.

Miao Sheng watched You Xiao busy: "What are you going to do?"

"Brother Ying Xian is injured, I want to clean it up for him." You Xiao wrung out the towel, took the golden medicine that Nie Yunhan used that day, walked over, and said softly to Zhuo Yingxian, "Sit still and don't move."

In order to cover up the black clothes that Zhuo Yingxian was wearing, the outer burqa was also black, so the wound on his shoulder could not be seen unless he looked carefully.

Hearing what You Xiao said, Miao Sheng realized that there was a big wetness on that shoulder. Watching You Xiao peel off Zhuo Yingxian's clothes layer by layer, revealing the white underclothes, the shocking large blood red immediately made his throat ache. a stagnation.

"So serious?!" Miao Sheng clenched his fists, his hands trembling involuntarily, "Zhan Mei knows that you are my friend..."

Zhuo Yingxian knew that You Xiao would bind the wound, so he let him play with it, and explained weakly: "The injury has nothing to do with him, it's me... Xiao Er, how do you know I'm injured? Did you see it?"

"Even if you didn't see it, you could still smell it. With such a strong smell of blood, the wound must be serious." You Xiao sullenly wiped the blood around the wound carefully.

Zhuo Yingxian looked down and said, "It's okay, it's just a skin injury, not a bone."

But Miao Sheng didn't dare to take a second look. There was a three-inch-long gash, which seemed to be stabbed into the shoulder by a knife. How could it be "okay"?

But Zhuo Yingxian now understands why Nie Yunhan doesn't care much about his wound.Looking at myself, it really doesn't matter, only hurting "others" will hurt my heart.

"Duan Zhanmei will definitely ask you again when he comes back, Brother Xiaosheng, this time I really caused you trouble."

"It's okay." Miao Sheng lowered his eyes, "At least I did the right thing."

Zhuo Yingxian's lips turned pale, he closed his eyes and meditated, and muttered: "Today is considered a reward, not only did I know that it was Haqin himself who came to Wulingdu, but also forced Duan Zhanmei to go talk to that member Peng. Talk about a deal, and then you will be able to follow the clues to find the third in command of Daixiao Peacock. And the one who kidnapped Brother Han was Daixiao Peacock, and they were sent by that certain B... It doesn't matter if you can't find today's man in black, as long as you follow Duan Raise your eyebrows, find that 'Third Leader', and you will surely be able to find Brother Han's whereabouts!"

You Xiao listened silently, he had already helped Zhuo Yingxian apply the medicine nimbly, wrapped the wound with fine cloth, and then went to the closet to find a clean underwear for him to change.

"Xiao Er, thank you." Zhuo Yingxian slowly opened his eyes and said softly.

"Father is not here, I should take care of you. Unfortunately, I can't do anything, so I can only do this." Although it is estimated that Xiang Yu Shu will be fine, You Xiao's mood is still very low .

Zhuo Yingxian patted his head: "Who said that, today you are the first one."

Miao Sheng didn't know what You Xiao had done, and looked at him suspiciously, but in the end he just moved his lips and didn't make a sound.

You Xiao also seemed to be angry with Miao Sheng, sitting on the embroidered pier beside him, did not look back at him, and said dejectedly: "Don't comfort me."

"It's not consolation. You recognized that Dapeng, so we can string these things together. Yu Shu and Zuo Ge will think more than me when they know. Following this clue will not only save your father, but also say Maybe we can solve all the things here, isn't it a first-time job?" Zhuo Yingxian said softly, "Has this person changed his appearance today? How did you recognize it?"

You Xiao was not encouraged by the encouragement just now, and still lowered his head: "I don't know if there is a disguise, but it is not the face that appeared on Lu Qiqin before. But his voice has not changed, and the way he walks is also the same. In addition, his subordinates call him 'Second Leader', so I can see it!"

"The rain came late at that time, I don't know if I heard it." Zhuo Yingxian was worried.

Shi Yu really didn't hear it, if he knew about it, he might die of depression.Not only did he not catch up to Xiang Yushu that day, but he also didn't catch up to Ling Qingbi—just kidding, how could he catch up to "Red Boa" and "Spirit Wing" as a "earth dog", this is crushing by naked strength!

Not only that, but two of his subordinates died, and the two alive, one was slightly injured and the other was seriously injured. Zhanmei wanted to hit him with hemiplegia to discourage him.

You Xiao sat for a while, peeked at Miao Sheng, seeing that the other party didn't want to talk to him, he stood up resentfully: "Brother Ying Xian, I'm going out to play, you two talk."

"Xiao Er, don't think too much." Zhuo Yingxian urged.

Miao Sheng looked at the child's lost back, but didn't stop him, and let him leave.

Zhuo Ying looked at his drooping eyebrows and couldn't help saying: "Why are you angry with Xiao Er, you know that he is really doing it for your own good."

"I know I'm making a mistake, but I'm willing to bear the consequences. I don't need others to criticize me." Miao Sheng's face was cold, with a hint of worry between his brows, "Xiao'er was not like this before. He was really smart when he was five years old." It is better than ordinary children, but it is not like now, losing its due innocence, trying to imitate adults in words and deeds, really... really helpless."

He didn't know what words to use to describe it properly, so he had to talk about his own feelings.You Xiao is too attached to him, he always feels that this state is very abnormal.

"Is it hard to understand?" Zhuo Yingxian picked up his teacup and took a sip, "Three years ago, when you rescued him, you were his only relative. Since then, all his attention has been on On you, I just watched you sacrifice so much to save him..."

"I'm not here to save him, I'm here for myself."

"Yes, you just saved him, but he doesn't understand this. Xiao Er only knows that the situation must be different when you run alone and with him. You have suffered what you shouldn't have suffered for him, he thinks I am a drag and owe you something."

Miao Sheng: "...he thinks too much."

Zhuo Ying raised his eyebrows idlely: "He is smart and sensitive, but you are too careless. After you escaped, he only had one thought, which was to protect you and prevent you from being hurt again. Especially in Wulingdu, this place It’s messy, so he subconsciously raises his vigilance and observes everything to judge whether the surrounding things will harm you, and over time, he will naturally become extremely sensitive.”

"And Duan Zhanmei is the biggest threat of all, because you treat him like a moth to a flame, even at the expense of your life. What do you think Xiao Er will think when he sees it? Duan Zhanmei Whether you did it right or not, just your attitude is enough to make Xiao Er hostile to him."

"Brother Xiaosheng, your eyes are all on Duan Zhanmei. You can't see that Xiao Er has actually lived for you in the past three years. He wants to be a big tree that protects you, and his root system takes you as the soil. But you have to pull it out easily. Can he not be sad when he gets out of this tree?"

"Although this is different from love and cannot be compared, as long as you tie your heart to another person, it will still hurt the same when you are pushed away."

Zhuo Ying thought idly, as if that idiot insisted on pushing me away.

"A child's heart is more blazing and straightforward than an adult's, and it will be more painful when he is hurt, and he doesn't know how to deal with it, so he will naturally behave more abnormally." Zhuo Ying said leisurely, "I am also worried about him, but it takes time to untie the bell. The person who tied the bell."

Miao Sheng lowered his eyes, was stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "You have analyzed so thoroughly, don't you just want to force me to leave the eyebrows? It's wrong for me to want to die for him, so it's right for me to live for Xiao'er? Why? Do you want to use your feelings to manipulate each other? Why can't I live as I want, but live under the expectations of others?"

Hearing his remarks, Zhuo Yingxian couldn't help being a little surprised: "Brother Xiao Sheng, why didn't I realize that you are such a cold-hearted person?"

"If you're not cold, can you still be affectionate?" Miao Sheng mocked sharply, "If so, I would have died a thousand or eight hundred times."

Zhuo Yingxian stared at him blankly, and found that the pain in his eyes was quickly disappearing, and immediately regretted his quick words.

In Miao Sheng's life, all the infatuation and enthusiasm were given to Duan Zhanmei. Fate made him lose, he learned to close his heart, and fate made him regain it. It was given out, but it was randomly rounded and flattened by others.

Family, friendship and love can all be negative to others, and he dare not show any true affection to others anymore.

It was selfishness and self-preservation, which had become his instinct.

"Sorry, I said something wrong." Zhuo Yingxian said guiltily, "I should persuade Xiao Er to respect other people's wishes, instead of using him to persecute you."

"You guys wish me well, I know that, and I'm not so ruthless." Miao Sheng said softly, "I'm the one who trapped myself and couldn't find a way to break the situation. In fact... I also feel ashamed of Xiao Er. Since we rescued him, we should be responsible for him, instead of just letting him grow up like this, that's why I want to send him away. I actually...should also love him, but I don't have any extra strength."

Zhuo Yingxian has only just experienced liking someone, being obsessed with dreams, and being unable to hold on to himself, but Miao Sheng has been obsessed with him for ten years. He can't empathize with this kind of exhaustion, but he can imagine it.

Everyone has different personalities and will make different choices in the same situation. If you can't understand it, you can at least choose to respect it.

Miao Sheng suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Zhuo Yingxian's wrist: "If... if you can finish that matter successfully this time, you and Nie Yunhan... can you take care of Xiao Er for me? At least Xiao Er calls him daddy .”

Zhuo Yingxian's heart trembled: "You..."

"I'm not looking for death, and I'm not asking for help. I just think Xiao'er will be happier living with you." Miao Sheng said earnestly, "I only hope that he can grow up like an ordinary child."

Naturally, this matter needs to be discussed with Nie Yunhan first, Zhuo Yingxian dare not agree without authorization, besides, the two of them don't know what will happen in the future, and it is inconvenient to involve others, so they just said: "If Master can be rescued safely, then we can be free again Live in peace, let's not talk about Brother Han, I will definitely come back to find you, and then we will make plans."

Miao Sheng thought for a while, then nodded lightly, some things cannot be forced, and it is not easy to ask people to make some guarantees first.

"Brother Ying Xian, Miao..." You Xiao knocked on the door and came in, still with a sad face, "Duan Zhanmei is back, and is coming to see you."

Zhuo Ying heard the words and went to lie down on the bed. He didn't want to let Duan Zhanmei know how badly he was hurt, but he also wanted to show a delicate appearance so that he could relax his vigilance.

Sure enough, after Duan Zhanmei came, he asked a few questions about Xiang Yu Shu. Both Miao Sheng and Zhuo Yingxian didn't know anything about it, especially Zhuo Yingxian, who fell asleep before answering a few words. Sheng pushed Duan Zhanmei to leave, only said that Ah Xian was injured and frightened today, and needs to recuperate now.

It seems that Duan Zhanmei didn't intend to tear his face apart, nor insisted, and followed Miao Sheng obediently.

After the two left, You Xiao dragged an embroidered pier, sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhuo Yingxian: "Brother Yingxian, you should go to sleep for a while and recharge your batteries, or I will see you again in a few days." to worry about."

Zhuo Yingxian was really dizzy and sleepy, he stretched out his hand from under the quilt, grabbed You Xiao's chubby little claws, and said softly: "Xiao Er, no matter what happens, you have to know, Brother Xiaosheng, you Dad and I both love you, you will never be abandoned by any of us. If we leave you temporarily, it is a last resort, you have to live well, grow up well, and wait for us to come back. "

When he said the last sentence, he had already closed his eyes tiredly, before You Xiao could reply, he felt a drop of tears fall on the back of his hand, followed by many more.

"Why are you crying?" Zhuo Yingxian squinted his eyes, looked at You Xiao who had red eye circles in front of him, and wanted to make him laugh, "Moved by me?"

Unexpectedly, You Xiao's small face wrinkled into a steamed bun: "I heard what uncle said just now... He said he couldn't find a way to break the situation, what can I do?"

"You leave it to him to settle this matter, dear." Zhuo Yingxian moved into the bed and patted the vacant space, "You must be tired after a day of tossing around, come here and sleep with me for a while."

You Xiao Yiyan took off his shoes and socks, got under the quilt and put his arms around Zhuo Yingxian's arm, after a while of silence, he said softly: "I'm just afraid that I won't be able to keep him."

There was unparalleled grievance in his voice, in this situation, it was useless to say anything, Zhuo Yingxian could only touch his forehead comfortingly, You Xiao cried for a while, and then fell into a deep sleep past.

Zhuo Yingxian felt that Duan Zhanmei would not let him go easily, but was busy with entering the black market and had no time to trouble him for the time being.

Sure enough, for the next two days, Duan Zhanmei just asked someone to watch the three of them and not allow them to leave Lu Qiqin, but he ran out all day and only came back in the middle of the night.

Zhuo Yingxian didn't want to cause trouble, but was worried about whether Zuo Hengqiu and the others would find Nie Yunhan's whereabouts, whether they would get Duan Zhanmei and Peng Yuanwai, and he was restless all day long.

For the past few days, Miao Sheng's complexion was pale, as if he hadn't had a good rest, Zhuo Yingxian was worried that he and Duan Zhanmei would have another quarrel, but Miao Sheng just shook his head and didn't say anything.

On the contrary, You Xiao suddenly clings a lot, instead of clinging to Miao Sheng, he clings to Zhuo Yingxian, he follows him wherever he goes, even sleeping with him at night.

Zhuo Yingxian only thought of him as a child, many things happened recently, he was restless after all, so he tried to stay with him as much as possible, almost responding to every request.

On the third day of May, Shi Qi and Xie Hui found out the identities of the three bosses who first introduced the Duyu people to get the pass token of the Peacock for staying overnight. Zhuo Yingxian decided to perform another sword dance with injuries, please Miao Sheng must invite those three people to come.

Before the performance that night, he heard the familiar crow whistle in the room, and rushed out excitedly, followed the sound to the courtyard wall, and heard a soft rustle beside him, and a figure jumped down from the wall. Zuo Hengqiu, who is easy to tolerate.

I haven't seen him for a few days, he was thinner than before, and now he has turned himself into a yellow and emaciated face, with a stooped body, like an old man.

Zhuo Yingxian looked at him in the dim moonlight and was startled: "Brother Zuo, why are you..."

"It's okay, just to deceive people. I came to see you today for something important." Zuo Hengqiu said anxiously, "Two things. The first one, I followed Duan Zhanmei the day before yesterday and knew that he had met that member Peng, and the two made an agreement today. See you in Luqiqin, bring the third son Lei over to discuss, so I need you to help me sneak into their private room, so I can listen to their conversation. The second thing, Duan Zhanmei agreed to Peng Yuanwai's condition—"

When he said this, he paused, as if he couldn't speak, Zhuo Yingxian asked: "What's the condition?"

"Mr. Peng..." Zuo Hengqiu said helplessly, "I want Miao Sheng to 'serve' him by name."

Zhuo Yingxian froze immediately, gritted his teeth angrily, and cursed in a low voice: "Duan Zhanmei, that bastard, I really should cut him alive!"

"Today, the surname Peng has something important to do, so he probably won't be able to play tricks, and I don't know when Duan Zhanmei will 'perform the contract'. I just want to remind you first and let you find out with Miao Sheng. I guess he will not be willing." , Maybe Duan Zhanmei will use force, why not find an opportunity to leave here as soon as possible."

"Understood, thank you, Brother Zuo, and don't bear the grudge against Brother Miao for kidnapping you back then."

Zuo Hengqiu waved his hand: "Those who don't know are innocent, besides, he also helped us a lot. And he was kind to me during the few days when he tied me up."

"By the way, where is Brother Han..." Zhuo Yingxian looked at him eagerly.

Zuo Hengqiu was a little embarrassed: "Ling Qingbi—the man who stabbed Lao Nie—brought him into Qinghanju and never came out. I searched the house back and forth, and there was no trace of Lao Nie. Later Grandpa Dai remembered that a few trucks came out of Qinghanju that day, and also learned from Yu Shu that Ling Qingbi was the roc, so we guessed that Brother Han was taken to the black market to hide. Today we are separately looking for the entrance to the black market, and we should have results soon."

"Leave this to me." Zhuo Ying thought to himself that he was going to meet the three bosses anyway, so he happened to set up one more clue by the way.

"A-Xian, no matter what you do, you must pay attention to safety." Zuo Hengqiu said seriously, "Brother Han values ​​you more than his eyes. If something happens to you, he will definitely go crazy."

Zhuo Yingxian felt his ears burning, and said awkwardly, "This... is exaggerated."

"What's wrong with him, we can see it at a glance. The only person he has cherished in this life besides his biological parents is Guan Ye, and now you. After Guan Ye's accident, Lao Nie's whole body collapsed. If it wasn't for Commander Han Locked up, he doesn't know what troubles he will cause." Zuo Hengqiu frowned slightly, "After meeting you, he changed back to [-]% of his original appearance... It may be a bit inappropriate to say this today, but no matter you Whatever you want, take care of yourself, if not for him, at least for yourself."

"Okay, I will." Zhuo Yingxian nodded, "You wait here, I'll go and find out the situation."

He turned around and ran away, his heart was beating fast, and his face was about to burn.

No wonder that idiot wants to keep a distance from me, I don't know... when did he fall in love so deeply?

Human emotions are really amazing.

Not long after Zhuo Yingxian left, Zuo Hengqiu sullenly said, "Still coming out?"

Behind the tree not far away, a small figure flashed out, You Xiao pouted, with a look of frustration of being caught.

The author has something to say:

Brother Han: Love doesn't know where it started, but it goes deeper and deeper. ("The Peony Pavilion")

A Xian: ...glib.
