The rivers and lakes can't stand it

When Karaya woke up, he was still in a trance.

It was early in the morning, and wisps of light seeped in from the window, like a raging tongue of fire scalding his eyelids, it wasn't too uncomfortable, but it was indeed a little uncomfortable.

So Karaya wanted to reach out and rub his eyes, but he felt pain in his limbs, as if someone had pressed him under a stone mill and rolled him over and over all night while he was sleeping.

The nose recovered slowly, and after giving up raising his hand, Karaya smelled a strong bitter medicinal smell lingering in the room.

He only felt as if he was sleeping in a warm and dry herb field, dehydrated by the sun without discrimination, his throat was so dry that it was almost split, and he could feel the bloody smell surging at the base of his tongue whenever he moved.

This feeling was quite familiar to Karaya who came from the great desert. He thought that he must have slept for a long time, and he must not open his eyes rashly at this time, otherwise the scorching sun would make him unable to open his eyes again forever.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "He's awake."

The voice was very strange, and Karaya's memory was quite good. He was sure that he had never seen this person before. Then, he felt himself being lifted up, and something cold and tasteless was nestled against his lips, and a clear spring flowed from it. , He swallowed impatiently, allowing the spring to moisten his soon-to-be-cracked self.

Water always brings life.

Karaya drank all the water and nearly buried his face in it, which certainly wasn't enough to satisfy his heart, he still craved water, but the craving was somewhat curbed.

He panted lightly, did not open his eyes hastily, but adapted to the surrounding environment little by little.

The first thing a swordsman sees is always a knife. The scimitar hanging on the wall has been washed away from the previous layers of blood stains, revealing the shining blade, shining brightly under the light of the golden crow.

He exhaled lightly and relaxed.

Then came people.

The knife is Karaya's favorite knife, and the man is Karaya's acquaintance.

Qiu Zhuoxue was holding an empty tea bowl, and was looking at him with a smile for a while, then turned her head away, and said to the owner of the unfamiliar voice: "Brother Yue is more careful."

Apparently, he saved Karaya one more time.

Although Karaya has only met this person once, he already owes him one life, adding this time, it is two lives.

"Thank you, you. I owe you, twice."

Karaya said vaguely, resisting the pain, he slowly got out of bed, picked up the new clothes on the bedside, and sat on the chair.

He didn't like the bed of the Central Plains people, it was too soft and comfortable, lying on it seemed like the bones would melt, it was soft, like a giant web woven by a spider, making it difficult to struggle.

"It's just a little effort." Qiu Zhuoxue put the empty tea cup on the table, carefully looked at Karaya's expression, saw that he was not reluctant, so she swallowed the advice again, and said, "You have slept for three days, are you hungry? Hungry?"

Karaya nodded honestly. He was slowly tying the belt with his trembling hands. He was doing it very slowly, but very carefully and earnestly. After a while, a thin layer of sweat dripped from his forehead.

Qiu Zhuoxue went out and asked Xiao Er to bring food, leaving Karaya and Yue Mijin in the room.

And Yue Mijin just sipped his tea patiently, and glanced at Karaya again.

At that time, Qiu Zhuoxue tapped Karaya's acupoints to stop the bleeding, but Karaya's injuries were far beyond their imagination. There were too many injuries. Tore it into pieces, wrapped it all on the body of this unlucky bastard from a foreign country, and took turns protecting his heart veins, and drove the fast horse all night before barely entering the city before dawn.

When he arrived at the inn, Karaya's whole body was almost soaked in blood. The waiter almost thought that they had brought a corpse into the inn, and the doctors who invited them all shook their heads, saying that they were preparing for Karaya's funeral, and sold the old man Qiu Zhuoxue. Ginseng boiled soup hangs Karaya's life.

Thanks to his strong body, he survived such a toss.

There were no internal experts in that group of killers. Karaya suffered from traumatic injuries and needed time to recover. The two of them couldn't do anything else, so they had to wait patiently for him to wake up.

"Who is chasing you?" Yue Mijin asked aloud.

Karaya shook his head, also looking confused: "I don't know."

He has been in the Central Plains for several months, but he hasn't made much progress in speaking, and he still stutters a bit, not fluently.

"I don't know? Hmm... □□, there must be a reason." Yue Mijin pondered for a moment with his eyes downcast, played with the teacup in his hand, and asked, "How long have these people been hunting you down? When did it start?"

Karaya frowned and thought for a while: "I'm here, Central Plains, not long ago."

not long?It shouldn't be long.That is to say, not long after arriving in the Central Plains, the hunt began.

Yue Mi looked at Karaya thoughtfully. There must be some unknown secrets hidden in this foreigner. He asked again: "Why did you come to the Central Plains?"

"I'm here to find..." Karaya said an extremely incomprehensible vocabulary at this time, probably their own words, and the tone was difficult to distinguish. He seemed to be aware of this, his expression became a little confused, and he tried to get out of the maze. Explain yourself, "people."

"People?" Yue Mi asked, "You mean, you came to the Central Plains to find someone?"

Karaya nodded his still heavy head: "Yes! That's right, that's it."

Yue Mijin pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Since you entered the Central Plains, others immediately started chasing you, which means that the people chasing you don't want you to find this person."

These words made Karaya's face suddenly show arrogance. He pondered for a while, and then said: "He is afraid, punish. The desert will not forgive."

Although Yue Mijin didn't understand Karaya's words very clearly, it was enough for him to guess the general cause and effect. Karaya came to the Central Plains to find a person, and he wanted to capture this person back to the desert for punishment, and the other party had obviously already Just waiting for him in the Central Plains.

The vocabulary just now should be the name of this person.

Things in this world always seem to be the same, Yue Mizu thought of Ban Fenghe who "defected" and left the teaching, and asked one more question: "What mistakes did this person make?"

Karaya thought for a while, frowned, with a very disgusted expression on his face, and babbled a lot of words that Yue Mizu could not understand at all, before Yue Mizu reminded him, he sighed deeply, Trying to find the right words from the thin vocabulary, he explained with difficulty: "He eats people."

It happened that Qiu Zhuoxue pushed the door in with food, he glanced at the two of them, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?"

The shop waiter came out from behind him, put the boiled medicine on the table, put the food on the table together, and took away the two trays together, with quick hands and feet, without a word of nonsense.

Yue Mi thought: "We're talking about a man-eating monster that escaped from the desert."

"Human-eating monster?" Qiu Zhuoxue slightly opened her eyes, looking at Kalaya and Yue Mijin thoughtfully, "I've never heard of this, how should I say it? Come, let's eat first, chat while eating, Although this topic is not suitable for dinner, there are no other topics that are easy to deal with."

Karaya knew that he was clumsy, so he let Yue Mizin retell the conversation between the two just now, while he nodded in agreement.

"Cannibal..." Qiu Zhuoxue really didn't expect that saving people would lead to a new trouble, he frowned and stirred the soup in his bowl, "Is there any more detailed clues?"

Karaya showed a very confused expression: "You help me?"

"If there really is a man-eating monster roaming the Central Plains." Qiu Zhuoxue sighed, "It's not helping you, but helping ourselves."

Karaya couldn't help showing gratitude. He is not a person who is easy to trust others, but he has met Qiu Zhuoxue twice, and he already knows that this person is definitely the most trustworthy person in the Central Plains, so he just told him When Yue Mijin spoke, he didn't hide anything.

He could see that the two were very close.

"In the beginning, ordinary people disappeared." Karaya thought for a while, and then said, "Three years ago, four of them died. Two years ago, my master was eaten."

Yue Mijin's eyes froze: "Your master? How is he better than you?"

Karaya gestured with his hands: "The clouds in the sky are different from the mud on the ground."

Qiu Zhuoxue was silent for a moment, and asked: "Kalaya, do you want to talk about the difference between clouds and mud?"

"There is a difference between clouds and mud." Karaya repeated with a serious face, "Yes, that is, this, Master is the mud on the ground, solid, earthy, and full of vitality. I am a cloud in the sky, just floating, not real."

This time even Yue Mijin was silent. He put a chopstick of vegetables beside his bowl with a complicated expression: "I believe that's not what the difference between clouds and mud is."

"I think for people in the great desert, heaven and earth have different meanings." Qiu Zhuoxue had already understood, and he smiled softly, "For the desert, the soil and water are quite precious, so in the desert Only the oasis in the middle of the earth will be known as the pearl of the sea of ​​sand. He described his master as the dirt on the ground, not in disdain, but respect from the bottom of his heart."

His voice was indescribably humble, kind, considerate and moving.

Karaya hurriedly responded: "Yes!"

Yue Mijin said slowly: "You will always see things that others cannot see."

Sometimes when you get lost in the confusion, you will wonder why Qiu Zhuoxue is born with such an ability. He seems to have endless patience to think through every sentence of others carefully, and to understand and understand it seriously. , empathize with each other's thoughts and thoughts.

Know neither weariness nor toil.

"Brother Yue, don't you think this is very interesting?" Qiu Zhuoxue turned her face again, her eyes fluttered, she looked at Yue Mijin's face, and said with a smile, "What we see and know is different, and it is precisely because of this that we can learn from each other." We can see the world through each other's eyes."

After a moment of silence, Yue Mijin said, "I don't think so, but I really like to hear you talk about it, it's very interesting when you talk about it."

Qiu Zhuoxue's gaze became softer: "I'm afraid you'll get tired of hearing it and think I'm too loud."

This sentence made Yue Mijin smile slightly, and when he smiled, his youthful air became stronger, and he looked very happy.

And Karaya endured the pain to pick up the rice. He looked at the two benefactors inexplicably, and felt that the relationship between the two seemed to be very good, and it seemed that there was an inexplicable layer between them.

While munching on the food, Karaya thought dully: Didn't we just talk about business?
