Snake Tale

Luo Yi supported his aching head and sat up from the couch, looking around at the place he was in.This is a simple dwelling with many rattan boxes and medical books scattered around.The afterglow reflected in the window, coating the crude utensils with a thin layer of gold.

He pondered for a moment, then strode out of the house.All kinds of herbs are drying in the courtyard, and outside the fence is a desolate mountain forest.The thatched hut stands quietly in it, like a secluded place far away from the crowd, and also like a fantasy land where a flower demon and fox come out to lure passers-by.

If you don't leave now, when will you stay?However, he self-inspected his injuries and found that he was as weak as a baby. He might not be able to walk a mile of mountain road before he would be buried in the wolf's kiss.Luo Yi hesitated in advance and retreat, but when the door knocker rang, someone stepped into the courtyard shyly—not Shen Yuzhu, not even Dou Guxu.The visitor was dressed in plain white curvy deep clothes, wrapped in a slender and spotless light gown, and his posture was as light as the wind returning to the snow.Seeing Luo Yi, he was startled for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's you!"

It sounds like he is not the owner of this place, but he clearly recognizes himself.Luo Yi remained calm, brushed the stone bench and sat down, in order to cover up his frail and injured body, while staring at the handsome unexpected guest in front of him with a deep and calm demeanor.The visitor stepped forward, with a pair of wonderful eyes looking at Luo Yi up and down, he was so frank that he was almost rude, and said with a smile: "Why, after three years, the nobleman has forgotten me?"

When Luo Yi looked at him with those lingering eyes, Luo Yi instantly remembered the identity of the other party, and his heart was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, he was shocked, and also had resentment and fear that he couldn't distinguish clearly - but the more so, The more you have to show your unfathomable calmness.With a half-smile, he called out the other person's name:

"Qin Wei, what are you doing here?"

Qin Wei sat down on the stone bench by himself, and said with a smile, "I'm visiting an old friend, but I didn't expect that where there is an old friend, there is another old friend. Lord Luo, how about you?"

Luo Yi smiled and said, "Me? I was waiting to kill someone, but I never thought that before killing someone, I have to kill someone else!"

With a sound of "cha", the hatchet in his hand whizzed across Qin Wei's face with killing intent, barely nailed to the front of his shoe.Qin Wei's whole body trembled, the blood on his face faded, and suddenly a beautiful blush appeared, his feet became weak, and he almost fell down in front of Luo Yi's knees: "Lord Luo!" His breathing was rapid, and his face was leaning against Luo Yi. knees, the tone became abnormally soft, and said: "Are you angry with me? Three years ago, I worked so hard to figure out a way to cure you—"

"You still dare to mention three years ago to me?" Luo Yi grabbed Qin Wei's fair neck and pulled him up as easily as a pigeon, his eyes almost bursting with anger: "You have spared no effort Spreading rumors in front of me made me mistakenly think that Shen Yuzhu..."

Three years ago, when Shen Yuzhufu traveled to Jiangdu, Luo Yi got the news from his eyes and ears.At that time, he was opening a letter under the lamp, and the blade of the paper cutter was extremely sharp, and he accidentally cut a bloodstain on his finger.He ordered his ears and eyes to retreat in the same tone as usual, and he was lost in the wound on his hand alone.

Shen Yuzhu has arrived in Jiangdu!Over the years, the disappointment of sending people to search hard in various countries has finally dissipated, but Luo Yi's first reaction was not joy, but a kind of fear similar to being close to home.He had heard his name a long time ago, and he had had a quick meeting with him when he visited Qingyan Mansion, even longer, before he even knew his name, he had been thinking about and imitating it repeatedly in his heart This person—however, Shen Yuzhu didn't know anything about it—his name was so sharp that it could cut Luo Yi's finger, yet he didn't know anything about it!If "ignorance" can be convicted, Shen Yuzhu will definitely be cut to pieces!

Luo Yi reluctantly suppressed the secret resentment in his heart, prepared a precious gift, and carefully wrote him a letter asking for an interview.The first letter fell into the sea like a mud cow, and he didn't care.The so-called celebrities often have a frivolous and frivolous attitude that is not incidental to the world.But until the tenth letter and there was no news, Luo Yi finally started to get irritable.He hesitated for a long time, squeezing his few sincerity, and condescendingly sent another letter begging Shen Yuzhu to take the time to meet him.He even revealed some secrets that no one knew in the letter. He believed that if the other party saw it with his own eyes, he would be touched.

But Luo Yi did not wait for Shen Yuzhu's reply after all, but instead waited for a Qin Wei who claimed to be Shen Yuzhu's fellow student.

"You want to invite him? You're really looking for something, and you're wasting your time!" Qin Wei laughed, "Yuzhu is the most proud person I've ever seen. He swore never to be an official when he was young, and he didn't even bother to make friends with ministers. He once said Guo: "Prime Minister Chancellor, in my eyes, is no different from the most despicable whip-wielding person!" Last time we met in the same year, he even circulated and read the letters of the nobles these days in public as a joke. Mr. Luo, you must not——have you written to him too?"

Luo Yi strangled Qin Wei's neck, and said coldly: "Shen Yuzhu, what virtue is there, it's worth your wholehearted efforts to frame him?"

Already tortured by the unbearable anticipation like a frightened bird, Luo Yi at that time listened to Qin Wei's provocation without thinking deeply, and used tricks to lure Shen Yuzhu to show up on his own initiative, step by step to such a point.He mistook the sheep for tigers and leopards, and urged his horses to fight with them. Not only was he invincible, but he lost himself completely.If all of this cannot be attributed to Shen Yuzhu who is still ignorant, then it can only be blamed on Qin Wei, the instigator.Luo Yi exerted strength under his hands, feeling Qin Wei convulsing like a dying baby bird under his hands, and said coldly: "Why did you do this, what is your purpose?"

Qin Wei's throat overflowed with tossing moans, his fat white face swelled into a begonia color, and he said intermittently: "I, what purpose can I have? I... ha... Master Luo! He can indeed restrain you... you It's not my nonsense to 'extend' the chaos on my body!"

Luo Yi's heart loosened slightly, and his subordinates slowly let go of the restraint.Qin Wei fell to the ground, gasped for breath, and almost complained sadly: "I'm all for your sake! I know you are high-minded and soft-hearted, if not for this, no matter what, you wouldn't be able to lose face with him— "

Luo Yi sneered and interrupted: "In that case, I should really be grateful to you!"

Qin Wei smiled and accepted it calmly: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the doctor's parents care." He turned his head and thought for a while, and couldn't help but let out a soft and teasing laugh: "Otherwise, how would you tell him? ——'Mr. Shen! I have an incurable disease, can you please be merciful and *one* me? Although we have never met before?'" Qin Wei rubbed his throat, put his right hand into his sleeve, and Laughed sharply and shortly, and continued: "Shen Yuzhu will ask: 'Well, why must I?' How should you answer? 'Oh, that's because you are actually my relative—'"

Luo Yi suddenly stood up!His face was livid, the stars collided in front of his eyes, and the fierce anger suddenly rushed to the top of the head, and the weak body was almost incinerated: "Qin Wei! You are so bold——"

If you want to go to the market to buy and bargain, you have to take Dou Guxu with you.He is a master bargainer, from a crooked old woman with chicken skin and white hair, to a boy with long hair and still teeth, he can use a soft and charming voice to coax the merchants to smile.But the purchase must not only let Dou Guxu go, as long as there is a scent of mellow wine in the downtown wine shop, he will run away like a wild dog running wildly following the scent, and the workman will disappear without a trace.Fortunately, Shen Yuzhu had gotten used to it, so he drove two mules, which were good at carrying heavy loads, back to the thatched cottage along the mountain road in the twilight.

However, as soon as he got outside Chai Fei, he heard a short scream!Shen Yuzhu first thought of Luo Yi, and was surprised that Luo Yi had ever made such a sound?Pushing open the door and looking, he saw Luo Yi with a serious face, holding a hatchet in his arms, forcing the slender and weak man in white in his arms.Shen Yuzhu took a surprised look and recognized who it was, and immediately sweated coldly, and shouted in panic: "Stop!"

Luo Yi had never heard Shen Yuzhu so terrified, he couldn't help but look back in surprise, but just in time he was hit on the cheek with a "bang" punch from Shen Yuzhu who was snatching him up.He suddenly suffered from pain, staggered a few steps back, brought down a row of bamboo plaques where the medicine was dried, and fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment.

But Shen Yuzhu didn't even look at him, and tightly gripped Qin Wei's wrist with both hands, his expression overflowing with concern:

"Weiwei, are you alright?"

Qin Wei's body trembled, he bit his lower lip, and smiled at him, "You... pinched me so much!"

"Oh, it's true!" He raised his hand, his fingers were long and slender, and he really pinched two red marks on his wrist, and said apologetically, "I...would be confused if I cared, it was really reckless."

Qin Wei held his wrist and rubbed it gently, his eyes flickered, and said: "The concern is real, I don't know who it is for?"

Shen Yuzhu's face was unclear, so he smiled to himself and asked, "What did you say?" Then he quickly asked, "Why did you come here suddenly?"

"I heard that you got rid of Luo's restraint, but you have never returned to Qingyan, so of course I have to come to you in person." Qin Wei took his arm, raised a pair of bright eyes, and did not allow him to perfunctory: "Besides, I also I'm really curious. In this mundane world, who can stop you?"

There was no way to avoid it, so I simply greeted him with a frivolous and calm manner.Shen Yuzhu looked at him with a slight smile, and said, "Who am I for, you really don't know?"

Qin Wei squinted and looked at the past: "I thought I knew it, but when I saw it today, I was a little confused."

Shen Yuzhu held back a smile and turned his head away.Qin Wei sighed, half truthfully, and said: "Childhood sweethearts are not as good as soldiers descending from heaven, and clever smiles are not as good as quick words and angry looks. How can you tell what is going on in this world?"

After all, Shen Yuzhu couldn't hold back, and burst out laughing: "Hua Xuan is actually jealous of my father, but Jinxiu is ashamed of Shu Tan? Qin Wei, Qin Wei, why are you so self-deprecating? If it weren't for me I know you so well, I almost believed you!"

Qin Wei smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't know me well enough, otherwise, how could you give up on me?"

His pair of black and white water-cut pupils caressed Shen Yuzhu's cheek murmuringly.But because he was too focused, he didn't seem to be truly sentient.Shen Yuzhu accepted it calmly, but smiled and said nothing.

The two of them frowned and smiled as if there was no one else around, and chatted for a long time before Shen Yuzhu took Qin Wei's hand and lured him into the room eagerly, presumably to have a night talk by candlelight, to reminisce about the old days.It seems that Luo Yi who has been left far away has been forgotten.

Luo Yi stood up without saying a word, brushed off the dust on his clothes, and turned into the side room alone.

*The comparison of Huaxuan, My Yu, Jinxiu, and Rough Brown comes from "Mozi Gongshu": When Zi Mozi saw the king, he said: "Today there are people here who give up their Wenxuan. There is My Yu next door and they want to steal it; Abandoning its brocade, there is short brown next door and wanting to steal it; giving away its grain meat, there is chaff next door and wanting to steal it—what kind of person is this?” Wang said: “There must be a disease of stealing.” Meaning: Mo Mr. Zi paid homage to the King of Chu and said: "Now here is a man who abandons his beautifully decorated car, but his neighbor has a broken car, but wants to steal it; he abandons his gorgeous clothes, and his neighbor has a coarse coat, but wants to steal it." He wants to steal; he abandons his own good food, and his neighbors have poor food, but wants to steal. What kind of person is this?" The king of Chu replied, "This must be a person suffering from the disease of stealing." ?
