Snake Tale

Luo Yi woke up from deep sleep with his eyes open.But seeing the bright light outside the tent, it seemed that it was already daytime, so he couldn't help sitting up.

Shen Yuzhu beside him was awakened by his movement, closed his eyes and rubbed against him, murmured vaguely, saying that it was just moonlight.

Luo Yi lightly stroked Shen Yuzhu's neck, listened attentively to the sound of the watch being announced in the barracks, and understood that it was Yin time.He said, "I should go."

Shen Yuzhu sighed and sat up slowly, put his hands on Luo Yi's face, pressed his forehead hard against his forehead, and then put on his clothes and went to bed.He went outside the tent to fetch water and wiped each other's bodies.Luo Yiwan tied up her hair in a bun, Chiyi looked lazily at Shen Yuzhu, and lowered her eyes to fasten the leather buttons of her jacket one by one.He shook his hand suddenly, looked at it in his palm, and said: "Has the 'Weak Water' been completely cured?"

Shen Yuzhu couldn't help laughing, and looked up at him: "You just remembered this?"

Luo Yi didn't say yes or no, and said: "It seems that the difficult things in this world are not at the last moment, after all, we should not give up easily."

Shen Yuzhu said: "That's right, this matter is indeed a bright future. You might as well guess, who is the one who detoxified me?"

Luo Yi smiled and said, "I guess, if Bian Que hadn't been reborn, who else would be able to undo the poison that Mrs. Zishuo had cast?"

Shen Yuzhu smiled and said: "If you don't hit it, it's not far away." He paused, staring at Luo Yi and said: "It's my fellow student, Qin Wei who had a relationship with you once."

Luo Yi said "Oh", stroking Shen Yuzhu's knuckles, and with a faint smile, he listened to him slowly describe the relationship between Qin Wei and Mrs. Zishuo he discovered, speculate on the position of Qin Wei's enemies and friends, and his own. The movement of time and so on.Although Luo Yi already understood every word he said, even if he only listened to Shen Yuzhu's voice, he still felt tireless.

However, Shen Yuzhu's voice suddenly stopped.Luo Yi raised his eyes, and a black shadow passed outside the tent.

He said in a low voice: "Come in." With the curtain lifted, a soldier in black stepped in, knelt down in front of Luo Yi nimbly, and handed him a sealed document with both hands.

Luo Yi took the document and asked, "How is the situation?"

Jia Shidao: "Just as Junhou expected. The lights in the Quewei barracks have been on all night, and Cheng Li has personally rectified the army formation and started to roll the names. Mr. Yangtong sent me to ask Junhou for instructions. What is the next order?"

Luo Yi smiled and said, "Susu rabbit scorpion was given to Zhongkui*, why do you ask so many questions?"

The soldier took the order and left.Luo Yi finished reading the document, burned it on the candle, raised his eyes to Shen Yuzhu and said, "You and I will go back to the Hukan barracks, and someone will escort you to leave."

Shen Yuzhu was startled: "Where am I going?"

Luo Yi said: "This place will be breached soon, if you continue to stay, you will be in danger."

Shen Yuzhu said lightly: "If there is any danger, you are the one who should go."

Luo Yi pursed his lips, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, he tightly clenched his knees with his palms, and then slowly let go, saying: "Shen Yuzhu, I really made this arrangement out of consideration for your safety..."

Shen Yuzhu slightly sneered and said, "Oh, just like the arrangement that you left me in Xinzheng alone in the weak body and stole the stone letter before? Or is it a little longer... the past?" He said lightly: "You The arrangement has always been far-reaching, forgive me for my stupidity, it is often impossible to penetrate."

Luo Yi turned his face away, looked at the flickering lights outside the tent, and faintly heard Liao Yuan's Jin Duo's voice, as if a large army was about to get their hair done.He said: "If you have prejudices against me, it's useless to say more. What's more, you can't explain it clearly in a few words."

Shen Yuzhu gritted his teeth and said, "I have a 'prejudice' towards you, that's why I refuse to believe the facts in front of me, and come all the way to see you alone..."

He paused, and said in a low voice: "If you can't explain clearly in a few words, you can keep me by your side. In this way, even if it is a thousand words, I will..."

Luo Yi said bluntly, "I have no shortage of stablemen in my tent."

The golden drum blared loudly, tearing the night sky apart, and then the horn blew randomly, as tightly as an owl was crying, and it took a while to stop.Shen Yuzhu stared at the restless moving lights outside the tent, and slowly said: "Luo Yi, you are really a beast."

His tone and expression were very calm, except for a little bewilderment, not even a trace of blame - only in this way, we can know that he is really sad.Luo Yi lowered his eyes and saw the red marks on his shoulders and neck burned by the sun, and the blisters and abrasions on his palms caused by hard work... Just as he said, a person travels through mountains and rivers, sleeps in the open, and walks through the wilderness infested by bandits , Entering this perilous country with endless plagues and plagues, is it just to welcome this sentence "I have no shortage of horsemen"?

Luo Yi bit her lower lip, not knowing how to speak.However, the noise outside the tent became louder and louder. He knew that the military situation was urgent, and he couldn't stand the delay any longer, so he tried to get up on the couch.Shen Yuzhu turned his face to catch a glimpse, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to support him.

Holding Luo Yi's arm, he sighed helplessly:

"At least... let me take you back."

Walking out of the camp, many unidentified soldiers were awakened by the sound of drums. They came out to find out, running around and discussing: "It's strange! There was no order, and the drums were suddenly drummed to organize the army!" Occasionally someone caught a glimpse of Shen Yuzhu's figure and asked him in amazement: "Xiao Yang, where are you going at this time?"

Luo Yi reacted, and couldn't help being shocked.But Shen Yuzhu smiled perfunctorily and pushed Luo Yi in the wheelchair to the camp.The bright moon is sinking, the morning light has not yet risen, and the dawn is approaching, but it is darker than the night.With the rustling of grass and trees behind him, Shen Yuzhu knew in his heart that it was Luo Yi's hidden guards following him all the way, never leaving.The two walked for a while in silence before Luo Yi said:

"Why do you use the word 'Yang' as your pseudonym?"

Shen Yuzhu who was behind him paused for a moment, then said with a smile, "I picked a random word and used it."

Luo Yi was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "My people will send you out later, you settle down for now. When I have something to do here, I will definitely... meet you immediately."

Shen Yuzhu said politely: "Please worry about it. I won't stay here anymore, and naturally, I won't go to any place you arranged for me."

Luo Yi said in a deep voice, "Are you angry with me?"

Shen Yuzhu smiled softly from behind.He said: "Luo Yi, I started from Xinzheng, crossed Yanzhi Mountain, crossed Jishui River, and passed through Song State and Lu State... On this journey, I often think of you. When I meet you again during the day, I I was never overly excited, because in my heart, I always felt that you were always by my side and had never been separated from me for a long time. But why did you insist on letting me go? It turns out that you don’t understand me at all. I think I was wrong. What I think and think is actually not you."

Luo Yi said coldly: "What do you mean?"

Shen Yuzhu murmured: "I don't understand either." He said in a daze: "I passed many dilapidated cities and villages along the way, and watched starved and battle dead corpses piled on the fields and ravines. Here, being eaten by crows and hyenas. Human life is very short, and the world is so impermanent, who knows what will happen tomorrow? It’s really not easy to wait for the sun to rise like this.”

The Hukan camp was in front of him, he let out a sigh of relief, obviously he had swept away the melancholy in his chest, leaned over and held Luo Yi's hand and said with a smile: "Then, let's say goodbye. Please take care of yourself." , I will meet you someday, and then I will recount the love with you tonight."

Although he came here with ardent desires and traveled thousands of miles, if the other party could not accept this sincerity, he would neither sulk nor sigh, but would pick up the sincerity, dust it off, and leave without hesitation. He said goodbye and went on his own way.

This undemanding comprehension made Luo Yi burn with anger in his chest.He stared at him sullenly, and said coldly: "Then you go."

Shen Yuzhu let out a "huh".After a pause, he laughed again: "But you held my sleeves tightly."

Luo Yi coldly reprimanded: "I know!" He was annoyed that Shen Yuzhu was so inconsiderate of his difficulties, and he was only concerned with saying specious and unintelligible words, disturbing his heart.He already has too many complicated dramas to juggle, too many difficult things to deal with, and he is bound by this crippled body... Once he provokes, the current him may not be able to protect Shen Yuzhu completely!Isn't letting him temporarily live in another place not a meticulous and appropriate plan? "What exactly do you want?" He finally couldn't hold back his anger, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "You don't understand the current situation at all! If I have a more careful and proper way—"

"The external situation has nothing to do with me." Shen Yuzhu said quietly, "I don't want the most careful and proper arrangement either. What I'm willing to choose is... the most selfish plan in your heart."

People like Luo Yi always habitually hide all their thoughts in their hearts and keep them secret, and since they have been in high positions for a long time, it has become natural for them to act arbitrarily.Emotions will never come first, and the most important choice is always the "most beneficial" under consideration. If you want to ask him what he really wants in his heart, it will become an unfamiliar and difficult thing, and he hesitated for a long time. :"I……"

He frowned and looked into the distance, the fires of the camps were flickering and flickering, but the fragrance of laurel beside him was only carelessly steaming in the darkness.He finally said angrily: "If you want to stay, you can stay! I don't care about you." However, he let go of his sleeve and grabbed Shen Yuzhu's fingers.

Shen Yuzhu couldn't help laughing, bent down, put his arms around his neck, and said with a smile, "Luo Yi, I'm so happy." Luo Yi raised his eyes, and saw the shining stars in Shen Yuzhu's eyes.He closed his eyes, and let his kiss fall on his face lovingly.
