refuse to be a teacher

Lying on the bed alone, Xue Lan hesitated for a long time between taking off the bandages and chasing them out, and keeping Yan Jie's hard work.

Do not chase?No, the little master seems to be smoking with anger, if you don't coax him, will he come back?

Chase?No way, seeing that Xue Lan was wrapped up like a zongzi, if he was dismantled on the spot and let Yan bully see it, wouldn't it make him even more angry?

However, when Xue Lan was rolling and hesitating until the sun was about to set, there was another "bang", and the wooden door was suddenly pulled open—Yan Jue unexpectedly...miraculously came back by himself!

Xue Lan's eyes lit up, and she jumped up from the bed, but seeing Yan Jue's dusty appearance, holding freshly beaten pheasants, hares, and a basket of freshly picked wild vegetables, "Deng thump thump" walked from the front yard to the kitchen at the back of the house in two or three steps, busy with something, and after half an hour, he brought out a plate of steaming fresh meals from the inside like a magic trick, one by one Lay it out and put it on the table, put the bowls and chopsticks down together, and immediately fill the room with fragrance, which is quite tempting to salivate.

Yan Jue had no expression on his face, and sat upright between the dining tables, holding chopsticks in one hand and scooping soup in the other. He behaved very naturally, but he didn't care about Xue Lanyin even for a moment.Poor Xue Lanyin, who hadn't had any water or rice for a long time, shrank to the side and almost stared straight, but she couldn't get Yan Hua's answer, so she didn't dare to move. not talking.

Yan Jue picked up his rice bowl in silence, as if contemplating it for a while, then squinted his eyes and looked at him coldly, and said: "What are you doing in a daze? Are you afraid that I will poison the food?"

Xue Lan swallowed her saliva, and asked him in a low voice, "Are you allowing me to eat?"

"No. Forget it if you starve to death." Yan said mockingly, "Anyway, I have the heart of a jackal, and I will collect your body when you die."

Xue Lan blinked because of her grievances. After a while, she seemed to realize that being pitiful was not going to work, so she changed her smiling face in an instant, leaned close to Yan Jue almost at the same time, and obediently said: "Master, I was wrong! You kept saying no, I shouldn't have forced you... It's all my fault, don't be angry with me, okay?"

When Yan Jue heard this, he really raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Who is your master?"

Xue Lanyin immediately said shamelessly, "You are my master!"

"I'm sneaky, and I'm duplicity." Yan Hua said in a cold voice, "...I'm not worthy to be your master, you should find someone else."

Xue Lan twisted her bitter face and said, "Master!"

Yan Jue raised his finger and pointed at the table: "Eat first."

"Hey, are you not angry?" Xue Lan was overjoyed at the moment, sat down next to him, and kept busy winking and said, "Master is magnanimous, and he won't miss being like me." Careful, right?"

Yan Jue asked back: "Didn't you think that I was going to kill you first?"

"I really know I'm wrong! My master is such a kind person, he teaches me to read and write every day, and never asks for anything in return." Xue Lan sticks to his arm like a cat, pouted her mouth and flattered her again and again. , "And now, you are obviously angry with me, and you rushed back to cook me a meal... I didn't even know that Master could cook and cook. Look at this delicious feast, hey... ...It's really fragrant, why is Master's craftsmanship so good..."

"Hurry up and eat you." Yan Jue's eyes twitched, "Where are so many nonsense..."

"Okay, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat, I'll eat..." Seeing that the snow and ice in his eyes had finally melted, Xue Lan also nodded with satisfaction, and poked a big chicken leg with fat and tender meat with her chopsticks, and lowered her head and licked it into her mouth. Sai, his complexion changed, he chewed the tip of his tongue a couple of times in a weird way, then turned his head and asked in embarrassment: "Heyu, you like to put sugar in your roast chicken?"

"You're talking nonsense, whose meat dishes are sweet?" Yan Jue glared at him, then stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a small piece of chicken and tasted it. Before he could comment, his face suddenly turned red. Don't say anything, turn around and leave with the roast chicken in hand.

Seeing this, Xue Lan stopped her hand and asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

Yan Jue said without turning his head: "...Throw it away."

Xue Lan was puzzled at first, but when she raised her eyes and saw the blush behind his ears, she couldn't help laughing and said, "I see, you mistook sugar for salt, didn't you? Hahahahaha... "

"I took it and threw it away, you... get out of the way!"

"Hey hey hey, what are you throwing away, what a pity!" Xue Lan said with a smile as she hooked his wrist, "Give it to me, give it to me, it's rare for you to cook next time, of course I want to reward my face and eat clean, right? "

Yan Jue shook his head and said, "There's too much sugar, I can't eat it."

"Come on, come on, give me, sweet as it is, it won't hurt if you eat it." Xue Lan got up and pulled him to sit down, and even the dish with the roast chicken came along. I offered it in the palm of my hand like a treasure, and turned to bully Yan, "I will finish all the dishes you cook, and I promise that there will not be a single grain of rice left - in exchange, you have to make peace with me. We will not quarrel I'm not saying anything, I'm deliberately teasing you, and you don't want to be angry with me, is that okay?"

Yan Jue was silent for a while, unexpectedly he didn't embarrass him too much, and simply responded with one word: "...OK."

After speaking, the master and apprentice looked at each other with a smile, and quickly put the little unhappiness of the day behind them, and no one bothered to bring it up again.

But to be fair, although Yan Huo is basically proficient in many aspects, his accomplishments in cooking alone are really unflattering-it's okay to use sugar as salt, wild vegetables It doesn't look like wild vegetables, it looks like a bunch of weeds, and there are a few untrimmed rabbit fur mixed in the good plate of rabbit meat!Looking at the entire dining table, there are probably only two bowls of white rice left... and it barely tastes so terrible.

After a difficult meal, the two of them seemed to have just experienced hell on earth, and each lay on the table speechless for a long time.Xue Lan guessed that this was the first time he had groped into the kitchen, and was about to follow the conversation to comfort her, when suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind, and she couldn't bear to pull Yan Hua over and asked curiously: "Heyu, I see you How did you catch the pheasants and hares you brought back? Did you catch them directly with your hands?"

"how is this possible?"

Yan Jue made him laugh so logically that he was logical, and then he remained silent for a long time, but he couldn't give a single answer.

At that time, the night had just come to an end, and the evening light in the room was replaced by the moon, and the fire burned into a cool and thin color, which was swallowed up together, and was reflected like glue in front of the window. A dim candlestick flickering constantly, all of which drifted outward. Half a wisp of loneliness.

Yan Jue was busy smashing a bowl of fresh herbs picked in the afternoon with his head down. Without saying a word, he heard the crisp sound of "beep beep" in his hand, and Xue Lan lay on his couch with her mouth pouted. He refused to leave, and fudged for an unknown amount of time, until finally he sat down with a bowl of crushed medicine dregs, and said straightly: "Hand over here, change the medicine."

Xue Lan put an arm aside in response to the sound, looked sideways, but had no intention of looking into Yan Jue's quiet and drooping eyes, through the strands of black hair hanging from his forehead, full of unexplainable tenderness.

"I just went out for a trip, picked enough herbs, piled up a nest and put them in the big open space in the backyard. If you wake up tomorrow morning, if I haven't woken up yet, you can grab a handful of soaked water and mash it up, and apply it to the wound." Yan Jue seemed unaware of his wanton lingering gaze, and just buried his head in carefully examining the several criss-crossing scars on his arms, frowned and said in a low voice, "In a short time, don't plan to add another wound, or the wound will seriously spread. , causing skin and flesh to fester, the consequences will be unimaginable... As for the medicines now, you should wait until they are applied and don't move around. If you feel itchy when you sleep at night, don't scratch them. I will wash the cloth tomorrow and give it to you again. You bandage—I'll show you how to do it, you have to learn, do you understand me?"

Xue Lanyin neither nodded nor shook her head.Just staring at him with a little fascination, as if looking at the unique and only treasure in the world.

His little master has always treated him wholeheartedly and purely, without even mixing any private emotions.

——It is such a person, who looks like a weak tenderness under the coldness, but is actually a fatal knife that haunts people's dreams.It has become the deep-rooted longing, fascination and envy, and at the same time, it is more eager to see.

Silent for a long time.

Seeing him sitting silently alone, Yan Jue couldn't help laughing and said: "...Does it still hurt? Since you know it hurts, why don't you want to think about the consequences every time you use the knife?"

Xue Lanyin still didn't make a sound, but lowered her eyelashes slightly, and approached slowly and silently.

The last response to Yan Jue was a cautious kiss.

The soft lips pressed against each other, tossing and rubbing together, entangled and blended together with each other's warm breath.

This time, Yan Jue unexpectedly did not give out such a huge and earth-shattering reaction as in the past.

He froze immediately.Even every nerve in the brain stopped functioning in an instant.

After waking up after a long while, he never used all his strength to push the person away, he just slid back timidly, deliberately avoiding the other's entangled lips and teeth, then bent back and nestled back into the grass couch, frowning and speaking Zhi asked: "...Didn't I say not to do this!"

Xue Lan licked her lips because she still couldn't finish it, and clasped Yan Jue's shoulders down in the crouched position, and almost effortlessly pressed him back on the straw couch, and said patiently and softly: "I also I said, I will marry you..."

Yan Jue let him lie under him, fearing that messing around would open his wounds, so he could only turn his head away blushing, and said with a face of death: "I don't marry a man!"

"That's okay." Xue Lanyin immediately compromised, "You can also marry me, it's the same anyway."

Yan Jue seemed to be stunned for a while when he heard the words, but soon he would feel better again, and said firmly: "I don't even marry a man."

Because Xue Lan's face turned dark, she was obviously not very happy and said: "Then who are you going to marry in the future?"

Yan Jue said coldly, "What's none of your business?"

Xue Lan said: "I marry the same one as you."

Yan Jue suddenly changed color, pushed him back and said, "Crazy!"

——Actually, he pushed so lightly, without using much strength at all.Unexpectedly, the little bean sprouts in front of him turned pale in an instant, and fell down weakly, and then there was no sound.

Yan Jue looked down at his hands in a daze, and then looked at him again, after confirming that it wasn't the black tiger's heart or the Tathagata's palm that he just made, he hurriedly moved up and said with a tense expression, "You're fine." ?”

Because Xue Lan was lying sideways on the pillow, the forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the corners of her lips trembled slightly: "It hurts..."

Yan Jue was a little dazed, grabbed his arm at a loss, and said anxiously: "Why does it hurt? I didn't try hard...Come here and let me have a look, maybe the wound is open.

"

Because Xue Lan managed to raise a finger to point at herself, she said angrily, "Don't look, Master, I won't hurt you anymore."

Yan Jue was taken aback for a moment, then he ruthlessly pulled the pillow and threw it out, and said angrily, "Are you kidding me?"

"No, no, no!" Xue Lan jumped up from the bed because of a slip, and her pretentiousness was gone in an instant, and she squinted at Yan Jue with a smile as if she would change her face, and said glibly, "...I like you before it's too late , how could he be willing to play tricks on you?"

Yan Jue didn't like him at all: "No need. A heartless villain like me will take your blood and kill you in the future, so I don't deserve you to like it so much."

Xue Lanyin found out——his little master is really not the usual sensitive and vengeful.If others say no to him, he can remember it carefully for a lifetime.

In desperation, Xue Lan had no choice but to fight back, and murmured to him in a low voice: "That's true... Master will marry a wife himself in the future, so why do you care whether I live or die?"

Sure enough, Yan Jue was upset when he heard this: "What are you talking about! When did I mention that I'm going to marry a wife?"

Xue Lan raised her eyebrows with joy and said, "Aren't you going to marry someone else as your wife?"

"Not to marry."

Yan Ju waved his five fingers, and the candle lamp went out in response.Then he lifted the quilt and lay back on the straw couch, with a sleepy look on his face, he said: "The medicine has been changed, I'm going to sleep, get out."

As soon as the words were finished, Xue Lan, who had borrowed the courage of a dog from nowhere, lay down next to Yan Jue through a layer of quilt, and asked in a soft voice: "If you don't marry a daughter-in-law, will you marry an apprentice?" ?”

Yan Jue made him disturbed by the cross-examination, swish turned over and curled himself into a ball of shrimp, and replied casually: "I don't marry, if I say I don't marry, I don't marry, you are so annoying."

Xue Lan was silent for a while.Suddenly put an arm around his waist for no reason, and continued softly: "In this case, can I be your apprentice forever?"

This time, it was Yan Jue's turn to remain silent.

How far is forever?Yan deceived himself did not understand what such a vague concept of time meant.

But he knew in his heart that Xixin Valley could not be his final destination.The delicate master-student relationship between him and Xue Lanyin will probably stop on the day he leaves Xixin Valley.

So Yan Jue didn't give Xue Lanyin any answer.

Xue Lanyin did not persist in asking questions as usual.He just lay quietly in the vast darkness behind Yan Jue for a long time.Then he retracted his arms silently, turned around and quietly moved down the straw couch.

"Then what...Xue Xiaomao."

Xue Lan paused slightly, and tilted her head in embarrassment.

"Didn't you just... ask me how I caught the pheasant and the hare?"

Yan Jue poked out half of his head from under the quilt, and for some unknown reason, he suddenly slowed down his voice and suggested to him: "Wait a few days for your injury to heal... I'll teach you how to archery." How about hunting?"
