refuse to be a teacher

During the festival, people in Biyun City came and went, rubbing shoulders.There are those small vendors who are chasing business opportunities and rushing around the street pushing a cart of rattling gadgets. Occasionally, one accidentally bumps into them, and those worthless objects fall into the ground with a crash. The ground was crushed by the feet of passers-by who came and went-the sales could not keep up with the compensation.There are also pairs of young sons and daughters, with red faces gently holding each other's arms, they are clearly so close to each other, and from time to time they have to whisper a few words close to their ears, as if they were afraid that others would hear them, and they just opened their eyes. When you open your mouth, you will feel ashamed and ashamed.

Xue Lan's face was stinking all the way, and she didn't know which tendon was crooked. Since she came out of the restaurant, she hadn't said a word, she just folded her arms and followed behind Yan Jue, walking at the same pace. Like a drum.Yan Jue, on the other hand, was walking slowly not far in front of him, calm and composed, turning a blind eye to the stinky face of his dog apprentice the whole time.

Sure enough, not long after, the dog apprentice couldn't hold back anymore.After hesitating for a while, he finally stopped his footsteps abruptly, raised his head, stared at Yan Jue Xuebai's back and said, "Master, what are you doing?"

... Ask knowingly.

Yan Jue replied without turning his head: "Buy rouge."

"You..." Xue Lan had to yell out because of a lump in her throat, "Do you really want to give rouge to that old woman?"

Yan deceived: "Yes."

Because Xue Lan's complexion got worse, she chased him in three steps at a time, grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "Master, she is already in her 70s and [-]s, and she still thinks of herself as a young girl in her prime—— Are you not angry if you tease you vigorously? Could it be that you..."

Yan Jue stopped on his heels, and before anyone could finish speaking, he turned around, raised his knuckles, and flicked him hard on the forehead, and shouted softly, "What are you thinking about?"

"Hiss..." Xue Lan leaned back suddenly because of being poked by him, and after a long time, she stood up straight, frowning and covering her forehead tightly, Youyou said pitifully, "You still hit me because of that old woman! "

Yan Jue had no choice but to say: "You are already calling someone an old woman, and you know her age, but you are just joking with the juniors to have fun... What are you doing there?"

Xue Lan let out a cold snort from her nose, and still refused to accept it: "Then you still go to the street to buy rouge for her? When you are old, you can just put some flour on your face. How beautiful are you like other little girls? "

Yan Jue was too lazy to pay attention to his unreasonable troubles, turned around and walked forward, while slowly explaining to him: "... Aunt Feng and my father's generation are old acquaintances. When I was young, my parents and elder brothers were all businessmen. For a living, he once cooperated frequently with the Feng clan and had close ties. So it is not unusual for there to be such a polite relationship among them."

Xue Lan was taken aback after hearing this, but quickly realized that Yan Jue had never explained these topics to him before, but now he brought them up for the first time, which made him a little flattered as an apprentice.

At night, the streets are bustling with people, and the hot wind in late summer has just blown people's faces, but they are going to raise the paper lanterns hanging all over the sky, and lightly and silently, they shake the open flames that are connected into beads up and down, as if If you save more, you will be able to fall from the high altitude and sink into the neat and square stone brick floor one by one, and then extinguish in a hurry, or you can choose to continue burning.

As Xue Lan raised her eyes slightly, she just happened to see a light and shadow in front of her, and Yan Kai had half a soft profile face.The strands of his hair were pale and had been deliberately tied in a bun to avoid being noticed.The sky-blue hairband slowly hung down along the white jade crown, intentionally or unintentionally resting on the edge of his snow-soft robe, it was always a kind of unexpected meekness and compromise.

At that moment, because Xue Lan didn't know where the courage came from, she suddenly stepped forward and clasped Yan Jue's cold five fingers tightly, almost without reservation, and embedded them in her warm palm.

Yan Jue froze all over. He was talking, but suddenly stopped his steps, and did not continue the conversation. He just turned his head to look at him, and asked in a cold voice, "What are you doing?"

As a matter of course, Xue Lan raised the overlapping palms of the two of them, shook them twice without fear, and said innocently: "Hold hands."

"……open."

With a cold face, Yan Jue tried to forcefully pull his knuckles back one by one, but Xue Lanyin shamelessly clenched even tighter with such a slight movement.

All of a sudden, fingers intertwined, inseparable.

"Xue Xiaomao, let go quickly." Yan had no choice but to lower his voice to dissuade him, "What does it look like to be seen by people on this street?"

"What's the point?" Xue Lanyin said, "It's only natural for the master to lead the apprentice to go shopping."

Yan Jue couldn't bear it anymore, and said slightly angrily: "You figure out, who is holding whom now?"

Xue Lan said with a smile: "What's the difference? Don't you want to pull me in the other way?"

"you……"

"Hey, hey, it's just holding hands. Look at the people coming and going, who is not holding hands like this?" Xue Lan approached him solemnly, and tricked him, "Besides, Bi Yun There are so many people in the city, and I don’t know the way, my apprentice, if I get lost somewhere, do you feel distressed or not?”

Yan Jue was momentarily at a loss for words: "..."

"Let's go, Master, let's go buy rouge!" Xue Lan smiled contentedly, holding him and trying to change the subject, "You just told me about your childhood, let's go on, I want to hear it."

Yan Jue was clasped so tightly by him, and when he walked forward, he felt somewhat unnatural.There were crowds of people around, their coats turned overcast, and the sounds of yelling and shouting mixed together, like thunder rolling in before the rain.

For the first time, he had the thought of turning his head back.Then, with a numb tone, he responded quietly to Xue Lanyin and said, "... I'm too lazy to talk about it."

However, apprentice dog is apprentice dog after all.As long as he has such a crooked mind, he can immediately eat his master to death.

"Forget it, I won't force you to say anything you don't want to say." Xue Lan gave him a distracted glance, and said in a long voice, "Anyway, I open my heart and let you go." I really want to share something with you, but I don’t remember it at all.”

It was pitiful to say this, as if Yan Jue was so selfish and narrow-minded that he kept everything from his disciples.

"What do you want to hear?" Yan bullied his forehead and sighed, "What's so good about Chen Zhima rotten millet?"

What is there to hear?

It's really nothing to hear.The bits and pieces of the past of ordinary people, to others, may be nothing more than ordinary miscellaneous old things, but to Xue Lanyin, they are precious memories that are on the apex of my heart and can't be reached.

Because I have never owned it, I will always envy it.

He couldn't imagine how he suffered with a breath of immortality when he was transported and imprisoned around as a living sword.There are no so-called blood-connected family members, and it is impossible to talk about the past. Even now, there are no memory fragments related to it.

Life is so long, and I am lucky to be able to come to this world to go through it once. Only he is still an empty but impure white paper, so thin, full of thoughts, and it is difficult to dig out the truth after all.

"Parents, brothers, these... So Master has them too. I thought Master was Master since he was born."

Because Xue Lan squinted her eyes, her tiny gaze blended into the continuous shadows of lights above her head, gathered and spread out, spread out and gathered again, and she didn't know what she was thinking about, Yan Jue glanced sideways, and saw him With the appearance of his soul out of his body, he couldn't help laughing and said: "How is it possible? Before I entered the teacher's school, I was only a half-grown child. Relying on the support of my parents and elder brothers at home, I became more stubborn and lazy. I didn't learn anything. It's just a mess of days."

Xue Lan said: "What happened later? Why did you go to the ancestor's door?"

"Later? There's no later." Yan cheated leisurely, "Throughout the ages, businessmen from all over the world have always worked around for money and profit. Until one day later, the sailing schedule was wrong, and the merchant ship they were driving sank. Since then, people and wealth have been empty, and no one has survived."

"..."

He spoke so calmly, as if all the past had been ground into a handful of dust by the years, and it was difficult to stir up any big storms in his heart.

Even so, Xue Lan still frowned unavoidably, and suddenly said regretfully, "I'm sorry."

Yan Jue looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry for what?"

"I shouldn't have asked." Xue Lan stammered, "I thought you... had relatives still alive, so I just wanted to...just listen to it for fun. It's not like me, I don't have any relatives. Those who come out don’t know.”

"I have almost forgotten what happened decades ago. Since you are willing to listen, I will give a brief overview. It's not a big deal." While talking, Yan Huai seemed to remember something, paused, He casually said to him, "It's just...you insist that you don't have any relatives, so what is being a teacher?"

Xue Lan was taken aback by his question, and said in a daze, "...Huh?"

Yan Jue coughed lightly, stopped looking at him, turned to look at the sky and said, "Isn't being a teacher your relative?"

"Oh... you?" Xue Lan calmed down because she would feel bad all of a sudden, and suddenly smiled at him, and said with a narrow smile, "You don't count!"

Yan Jue's eyes turned sideways, as if a little coldly, he wanted to pull his fingers away from his palm.Unexpectedly, this little bastard had no face or skin, not only grabbed him firmly, but also clung to him without knowing what to do, and stalked him with a smile. Yan Jue felt depressed for a moment, so he couldn't bear to look at him coldly and said: "No If it’s a relative, then what is it?”

Xue Lan rolled her eyes, freed one hand, grabbed his shoulder and said, "Of course it's a man."

Yan Jue was taken aback for a moment, then quickly pushed him away gently, and scolded him in a low voice: "Nonsense."

Even though he said so, he couldn't hold back his face no matter what. After holding back for a long time, he finally couldn't help but tilt his head and smile.
