day alley

Since that day, Lingduan clearly felt that Chunyang had changed.In front of people, he is still a gentle and elegant doctor, but in front of Lingduan, he is a big devil, tyrannical and domineering.

For example, Ling Duan disliked that the medicine was too bad to drink, so he pushed back and forth every time he took the medicine, and once even secretly poured out the medicine behind Chunyang's back, but Chunyang found out, and immediately got another bowl and drank it himself After taking a big mouthful, he fed it to Ling Duan mouth to mouth, and threatened, "If he dares not drink the medicine next time, he doesn't mind feeding him mouthful by himself", which scared Ling Duan to death. After that, no matter how bitter the medicine was, He also closed his eyes and finished the drink in one gulp.

For another example, when Xiu Gu came to get medicine for her younger brother, Ling Duan just said a few more words with her company, Chunyang became angry, and then she had to become a vegetarian for several days in a row, eating all of Ling Duan's eyes. green.

When going out together, Chunyang had to lead Lingduan all the way to the town to buy ready-made clothes. The tailor was not allowed to measure his body, but he had to measure himself.Ling Duan was so angry that he asked directly, "Why don't you make it for me yourself." Unexpectedly, this man bought a few bolts of cloth.

Also, the weather has been cold recently, and Chun Yang, relying on his magic skills, has actually confined Ling Duan in the house, and he has to be accompanied by him to go out.

On this day, there was a fine snowfall outside.This is a scene rarely seen in Tianyong City, Lingduan couldn't help but take a few more glances, "Chunyang, I want to go outside to enjoy the snow scenery."

Chun Yang, who was reading a book, didn't lift his eyelids, "No, your body is too weak, if the cold wind enters your body, you won't even think about it this winter."

"You..." Ling Duan was so angry that he took the book from Chunyang's hand and threw it on the table, "Chunyang, I'm not your pet, I'm human, I have my own thoughts, I have my own things to do." You can't keep me around all the time."

Chunyang took Ling Duan's hand, "So cold?" Then he cupped Ling Duan's hands to his mouth and breathed out to help him keep warm. "Duanduan, do you know that if my pets treat me like this, they probably won't be able to see the sun tomorrow."

Ling Duan wanted to withdraw his hand, but failed.

"You need to take good care of your body." Speaking of this, Chun Yang frowned, "Why is your body still not getting better after taking care of it? Maybe you need to change the prescription."

"Chunyang," Ling Duan said helplessly. He is not from this era. His physical weakness may be due to God's will and cannot be changed, but this does not tell Chunyang that this person is too paranoid, and there is no guarantee that he will do something radical. , "My life can't just be in this courtyard, and I can't stay by your side forever. You should know more people."

"If I'm not afraid of your anger, I don't mind you being here forever." Chunyang pulled Ling Duan into his arms, "Duanduan, let me tell you a story."

"It was a long, long time ago, probably in the ancient times. The prince Changqin, the son of the god of fire, Zhurong, practiced on the mountain of Mian. One day, he can cultivate Yinglong who can penetrate the heavens and the earth, and agreed that when he transforms into a dragon, he must have the prince Changqin sit by the corner, run against the wind, and travel the world together. However, the prince Changqin has not waited for that day He was recalled by God the Father to serve the Heavenly Court.

"By the time they met again, hundreds of years had passed, and that little water squirrel really became a Yinglong with the power to penetrate the heavens and the earth. At that time, Qian Yu caused floods in the human world and violated the rules , and wounded the immortal general who captured him, and hid in Buzhou Mountain. The Emperor of Heaven was furious, and sent Gonggong, the god of water, Zhu Rong, the god of fire, and the prince Changqin to arrest him.

"Prince Changqin was ordered to play the qin music to make Qianyu fall asleep. However, when he succeeded in capturing him, Prince Changqin recognized his old friend. He was so surprised that he forgot to play. The gods fought endlessly, which caused the Tianzhu of Buzhou Mountain to collapse, and the world was almost destroyed.

"Prince Changqin, offended by heaven, has no meaning. He will go to immortality forever, be relegated to samsara, and be without relatives and love for life.

"Duanduan, what do you think Prince Changqin is going to do to break this lonely fate. No matter how deep his cultivation is, what's the use of it? Cultivation is useless to him."

Ling Duan thought for a while and said guiltyly: "Perhaps when the Emperor of Heaven abdicates and someone pleads for Prince Changqin, the new emperor will probably be able to save Prince Changqin from the suffering of reincarnation."

"One day in the sky, one year in the ground. When the Emperor of Heaven abdicates, it will take tens of thousands of years. At that time, the fairy spirits and immortal roots will gradually fade away in the filthy world until they disappear completely. Prince Changqin can't afford to wait."

"How about that?"

"Yeah, what should I do then?" Chunyang sneered, "What can he do as a little qin fairy in the world according to the will of the emperor of heaven? On the way to reincarnation, he is nostalgic for Mt. Li and refuses to leave. Jiaoli was captured and used to forge swords. The crown prince Changqin was unwilling and separated his life and soul from the four souls, and half of the fairy spirits escaped and circulated in the world, using the method of crossing the soul to survive."

"The method of crossing the soul?"

"Yes, relying on the power of half a fairy, possessing other people's bodies, devouring their souls, and using this evil method for thousands of years. They are aliens and monsters in the eyes of others, evil spirits that everyone can punish." Pure Yang stroked Ling Duan's cheek, showing a tender smile, "Duanduan, do you think Prince Changqin deserves to die?"

"You..." Ling Duan grabbed Chunyang's hand, and the normally warm hand was colder than his. It turned out that this person was also afraid. Thinking of this, Ling Duan smiled softly, "You are The prince Changqin of 'Offending the heavens, there is no meaning'."

"Or to be more precise, it is half of the prince Changqin, Duan Duan. The other half has become a sword spirit."

"When the soul is separated, it hurts, right?"

Chunyang's body trembled, "It hurts, it hurts, it's never been so painful."

"Is it difficult to cross the soul?"

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. I possess the body of the dying person and protect it with my own fairy spirit. It's just that I will devour their soul no matter what. don't want to die."

"When I first met you, you just crossed your soul, didn't you?"

"Yes, because the body and soul are not easy to fuse, so I can't move. But thanks to Duanduan's elixir, this time the soul crossing is smoother than before."

"It's a pity that there is only one elixir." Ling Duan was very sorry about this. If he knew it earlier, he should have asked his master about the refining method of this elixir.

"Duanduan you... aren't you afraid? Maybe one day I will devour your soul."

"You said you wouldn't hurt me."

"I will do anything to save my life."

"Then why do you only devour the souls of dying people?"

"..."

"Chunyang, you are not as bad as you said." Ling Duan touched the heart that was beating abnormally happily, "You are still kind here, why do you want to disguise yourself as a heinous devil?"

Chunyang raised his head, forcing the wetness in his eyes, "For thousands of years, you are the first person who cares about whether I will hurt, the first person who is not afraid of me, and the first person who says that I am kind. , Duan Duan, how can I let go of you like this? How can I not love you?"

"Of course, who is this uncle!" Ling Duan left Chunyang's arms, crossed his waist, and looked complacent, "Your brother Ling Duan is the most loyal, if someone says you are a monster in the future, look I won't beat him to death."

"Duanduan..." Chunyang stood up and hugged Ling Duan, "It's great to have you in this life."

"Chunyang, if you continue to boast like this, I will really be proud, haha~"

Chunyang couldn't help pecking the corner of Ling Duan's mouth, "I like Duan Duan like that too."

Dazed by this kiss, Ling Duan subconsciously pushed Chunyang away with a look of panic and bewilderment.

Also because of this action, Chunyang's expression became gloomy all of a sudden, "Duanduan, did you lie to me with what you said just now? Are you afraid of me?"

"No, no." Ling Duan hurriedly explained, "You, you shouldn't kiss me. I mean, if you need it, you can find a woman."

Seeing that Ling Duan was not afraid of himself, Chunyang's expression improved a lot, "It's enough for me to have Duan Duan, I don't need other people."

"No, no, no, I mean," Ling Duan was a little embarrassed, "We are friends, friends, brothers, the kind that can be used for both sides, not the kind that goes to bed, do you understand?"

Chunyang's face suddenly collapsed, "You said that I look good, and you still feed me pills like that."

"Huh?" Ling Duan stayed for a moment, and then realized that Chunyang was talking about the acquaintance in the cave, "I, I, I didn't mean that, it was just a joke, and you couldn't swallow it, so I had no choice but to Anyway, I didn't know you were conscious."

"Oh." Chunyang nodded, "It doesn't matter, since Duan Duan regards me as a friend, then I am Duan Duan's friend."

Ling Duan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right. We are good brothers."

Chunyang smiled dotingly, "Yeah." A good brother who wants to abduct and sleep.

Ling Duan felt a little embarrassed, "Well, I'm hungry, go cook."

"Wait a minute, it will be fine soon."

The two had a very happy meal, and the meal seemed particularly warm.

Counting nine cold winter, the weather is getting colder and colder.Without the original novelty, Lingduan, who experienced the cold for the first time, no longer wanted to enjoy the snow scenery. He stayed in the house all the time, listening to Chunyang playing the piano, and looking forward to the early arrival of spring.

"Ah~" A big sneeze made the melodious zither sound stop suddenly, Chunyang walked quickly to Lingduan, grabbed his hand to check his pulse, and touched his forehead.

Ling Duan patted Chunyang's hand away impatiently, "It's just a sneeze, don't make a fuss. Also, don't add medicine to me. A person who can run and jump in your hands will become a medicine jar." gone."

"With your weak and cold body, can you still run and jump?" Chunyang put on a cloak for Ling Duan, "You must keep warm, your body can't stand the cold."

"I know. I can read it three hundred times a day."

"I'm doing it for your own good." Chunyang tapped Ling Duan's forehead, thought for a while, and asked, "Duanduan, have you ever thought about cultivation? Maybe it can help you improve your physique. I've checked, you It’s a waste of cultivation, but the roots are still there, as long as you put your heart into it, your cultivation can be restored.”

"I..." Ling Duan shook his head, "If possible, I don't want to go on the fairy road again. It's good to be an ordinary person."

"I want you to stay with me for a long time, Duan Duan, think about it, I know a lot of exercises, and you will get twice the result with half the effort."

"You look like a kidnapper who steals a child." Ling Duan joked.

Chunyang smiled and said: "If I can kidnap you, I will have no regrets in my life."

"Ahem... Chunyang, my brother will teach you a word," Ling Duan said earnestly, "You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately, understand?" Then he stretched his waist, "I'll take a nap first For a while, play by yourself."

As it was approaching dinner time, Ling Duan was still sleeping in the dark, not knowing what night it was.

Looking at the steaming hot food, Chun Yang could only wake up the sleepy person. "Duanduan, it's time to eat."

"Huh? I'm so sleepy." Ling Duan hid under the quilt, "I'll sleep a little longer, and I'll be fine in a while."

Seeing that Ling Duan's face was flushed and his breath was heavy, Chunyang touched it with his hand, and as expected, Ling Duan had a fever.He hurriedly fetched a basin of water, wet the handkerchief, and put it on Ling Duan's forehead to help cool him down, then hurriedly went to decoct the medicine.When he came back with the medicine bowl, Ling Duan was already burning.

Ling Duan did not sleep soundly, the veil on his forehead was rubbed off at some point, and he was sweating profusely.

Chunyang wiped him clean carefully, and then held him half in his arms, "Duanduan, take the medicine, you will feel better after taking the medicine."

"Chunyang?" Ling Duan's slightly delicate nose moved, but his eyes did not open, "Don't drink, it's terrible."

Ling Duan, who had no consciousness at all, had no ability to resist. The bowl of bitter soup was finally finished by Chunyang, and of course Ling Duan spit out a lot.

Chunyang had no choice but to help Ling Duan take off the soiled clothes, stuff them back into the quilt, and infuse some spiritual power for him, so that he can sleep more peacefully.

"Zhaolin, senior brother brought you your favorite big meat bun." A deep and indistinct raving came to Chunyang who was changing the veil for Lingduan.

"It's my brother's fault... I failed to avenge you..."

"Tu Su is innocent... Zhao Lin deserves what he deserves..."

"My mausoleum demonized...revenge...Master...I don't regret it..."

"Fuqu, I like it... I'm sorry, Fuqu, I don't want to hurt you, I'm sorry..."

"Shao Gong... **** Shao Gong... eternal life... **** Gong..."

Suddenly, there was a jerk at Lingduan, and he woke up leisurely.

"Chunyang, what time is it?"

"It's almost dawn."

"Sorry, I'm tired of taking care of me again."

"Duanduan, you said we were friends."

"Well, I still want to thank you. Did you give me spiritual power?"

"Your illness is fierce this time, and you can't drink any medicine, so that's all I can do."

Looking at Chunyang's bloodshot eyes, Ling Duan felt distressed, "I'm fine now, you can go and rest for a while."

Chun Yang shook his head, "You haven't eaten for almost a day, why don't you drink some porridge first, I've been keeping it warm."

The illness lasted for more than half a month, and Ling Duan felt that his body was weaker than before, and he slept longer.He who was sleeping that day was awakened by the sound of firecrackers outside.

He put on his clothes and cloak, walked into the yard, and found that the sound of firecrackers was heard from time to time all over the village.

"Why did you come out?" Chun Yang saw Ling Duan in the kitchen, and walked to him, "Woke up by the sound of firecrackers?"

"What day is it today? Why is everyone firing cannons?"

"Today is New Year's Eve, tomorrow is Chinese New Year."

Lingduan lived in Tianyong City all year round, but there were no human festivals, so although I heard about these festivals, I never paid attention to them. It was the first time to celebrate the New Year, listening to the sound of firecrackers, I thought it was a bit novel.Ling Duan looked down and saw Chunyang's hands full of flour, "What are you doing?"

"Make dumplings." Chunyang patted the flour on his hands, "I don't know where your family is from, whether you are used to eating glutinous rice balls or dumplings, so I made some of them. Are you hungry now? I'll cook glutinous rice balls for you .”

"You really treat me like a pig. You eat and sleep, and you eat when you sleep." Ling Duan touched his stomach, "You must be jealous of my abs, you've lost them all."

Chunyang joked with a smile, "Yes, I've been raising this for several months. Although it's not fat, it's just enough to kill the New Year."

"Okay, brother, I knew you had no good intentions." Ling Duan also laughed, and pushed Chunyang arguably, but with his current strength, it was like scratching an itch. "I was sent to practice by my parents since I was a child, and I have no impression of my parents and relatives. The news of my parents' death was told to me by Master, but I have no feelings for them, and I don't think there is anything. The family is full of parents and children, lively and lively, I am very envious."

"The two of us have a good Chinese New Year."

Ling Duan nodded vigorously, "Very good."

Not long after the year, the weather gradually warmed up, and it was the season when everything was revived and the grass grew and warblers flew. The earth was full of life, but Lingduan did not recover with the warming climate.

For some reason, Ling Duan always felt that his time was approaching.People often say that death has a premonition, and this is probably the feeling.

He calculated the time, and it was now late March, more than eleven months since he came to this era, and 20 days before his birthday.He didn't know whether this birthday should be counted as 24 or 25.When he left Tianyong City, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival when he was 23 years old. When he met Chunyang, it happened to be his birthday.Although the time is wrong, let's consider it as my 25th birthday for the time being, Ling Duan decided so.Thinking of Tianyong City, Ling Duan only felt as if he was in a previous life, obviously only a year old.

So Ling Duan, who wanted to have a good birthday, began to count the days with his fingers.

Nineteen days, eighteen days, seventeen days... three days, two days.

These days, Chunyang found that Ling Duan's health has improved a lot, and he is more energetic, not as lethargic as in winter, which is obviously a good sign, but he always feels restless.Even the usual three-day pulse diagnosis has been replaced by three times a day, morning, noon and evening every time. If I have time, I have to increase the number of times.

This made Ling Duan dumbfounded, and felt that he had not only grown two hands, but three hands.

"Chunyang, let me pick medicine with you today."

Chunyang looked at the weather, "Okay, today I just walk around casually, and dig back when I meet the right one."

"I still want to listen to you playing the qin in the forest." Ling Duan put the qin into a cloth bag and carried it on his back as he spoke, "Let's go."

Lingduan walked in front of Chunyang with high spirits, and warmly greeted the villagers who came across him warmly. The neighbors all said that they would not see each other this winter, and that Lingduan was well.

Ling Duan laughed, boasting that it was Chunyang's contribution, and his medical skills were really superb.

Less than an hour after going up the mountain, Lingduan couldn't move anymore.Seeing the lush vegetation nearby, he stopped, "Chunyang, rest here and look for herbs."

Chunyang found a flat rock, laid a cushion on it, and let Ling sit on it, while he looked for herbs around.

Lingduan is very active, especially after being detained for a few months, he is even more noisy. He did not sit on the stone, but walked around, shouting "Chunyang, what is this?" ", "Chunyang, this grass grows so miraculously", "Chunyang knows so much"...

"Duanduan, you are too noisy today." Chunyang put the shovel and bamboo basket aside, and said to Lingduan, "It's better to be quiet, I will play the piano for you."

Ling Duan pouted, "Then I won't talk anymore, hum."

The answer to the mausoleum is the sound of the piano, which is pleasant to the ear.Even the courting birds stopped singing and concentrated on listening to the piano.

For a moment, the entire forest was silent, only the melodious and melodious sound of the piano was floating in the forest, spreading farther and farther.

It wasn't until the middle of the day that Chunyang stopped, and Lingduan actually fell asleep accompanied by the sound of the piano.

But as soon as the sound of the piano stopped, Ling Duan woke up.He rubbed his eyes and complained: "Your piano is too sleep-promoting."

Chun Yang could only shake his head and sigh.

"Enough rest, let's go on." Ling Duan urged.

"Duanduan, let's go back, it's already noon, and you will take a nap later."

Ling Duan waved his hand, "I just woke up, so I don't need a nap."

"No, and I didn't bring any food, and it would take too much time to go up the mountain." Chunyang took the piano that had been installed in the mausoleum, "Why don't we come out early tomorrow, so we can go farther."

Ling Duan was a little melancholy, "I won't have time tomorrow."

"Huh? Why don't you have time?"

"Ah, no..." Ling Duan panicked.

Chunyang grabbed Ling Duan's hand, stared into his eyes, and asked, "Duanduan, do you have something to hide from me?"

"No, no. There is something about me that you don't know."

"A lot of things. Zhaolin, Fuqu, brother, Tusu, Shaogong..."

"How...how do you know this?"

"Sometimes you talk in your sleep, and you occasionally babble in a coma." Chunyang let go of the mausoleum, and lifted the bamboo basket, "If you don't want to talk, I won't ask. I'll wait for the day you are willing to talk. Alright , let's go back."

The two returned home in silence.

"Well, Chunyang, do you know what day tomorrow is?" Ling Duan smiled flatteringly.

Chunyang, who was preparing the meal, glanced at him, "April [-]th, Chunyangzi's birthday."

"Not only that, tomorrow is my birthday." Ling Duan tugged at Chunyang's sleeve, "Can you make me longevity noodles?"

"Why didn't you say it earlier. I will do it for you every year in the future."

"Pure Yang is the best. I will eat it tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Until the evening, Ling Duan was in a particularly good mood, humming a little song and cleaning the room inside and out.

Before going to sleep, Chunyang watched as the lights in Lingduan's room were turned off.

Duan Duan, when are you willing to open your heart to me?
