Shen Langgui

Before he knew it, Shen Yue had been living in Qiu's mansion for five days.It would not be an exaggeration to say that Xun He was stupefied these days: his daily schedule was rigid, and whenever he missed two mouthfuls of food, Yin Zhang would immediately run to Shen Yue to complain.

The thatched house is not big, with a side room on the left and right. In the middle hall, there is a furnace of soothing incense prepared by Aunt Yin. After a while, the smell of herbs in the room becomes strong.Seeing that Xun He was in a deep sleep, Shen Yue went to the backyard to clean up.

Although he was born in a noble family, Shen Yue was quick to learn everything, and he was unambiguous when he picked up the broom, and cleaned the backyard in two or three strokes.But if you look around, you can only feel that the huge courtyard is not decorated with any green plants, and it is very dull.Thinking about it, Shen Yue pushed open the door of the backyard, and there was a forest outside the yard. At noon, the sun was dappled on the ground, and a row of vines grew at the bottom of the courtyard wall. The heart-shaped leaves were very unique. Shen Yue took a look, I just thought this leaf looked familiar, squatted on the bed and pulled it twice, and my eyes suddenly became happy: it was actually a sweet potato leaf.

Shen Yue picked out a dark green leaf clump, grabbed it with five fingers and pulled it up by the roots, only to see a few lumps of mud hanging from the roots, Shen Yue peeled off the mud lumps, and saw the glowing red object inside—it was plump and fat Round sweet potatoes.During those years of marching in the wilderness, apart from hunting, it was amazing to find fruits, and sweet potatoes are a common and mouth-watering good among all the food.

Intrigued, Shen Yue dug a dozen of them in a row, then put the Tengman back into the pit, covered the roots with soil, and then took the sweet potatoes back to the courtyard with the hem of his clothes.

After cleaning the sweet potatoes, Shen Yue lit a fire and began to roast the sweet potatoes.Because the sweet potatoes were wet with water, they sizzled at first, but after a while, the smell of burnt skin came out. Shen Yue roasted three of them in succession, and the hand holding the branch felt tired, so he gave up.Put out the firewood, pick the sweet potatoes into a bowl, and return to the thatched house.

Xun He was still sleeping, a rare peaceful sleep, his sleeping posture remained unchanged, Shen Yue put the bowl on the small table in the middle hall, and was about to peel one to eat, when there was a sound of hurried footsteps, Shen Yue raised his head, only to see Liu Er in a hurry After entering, Shen Yue hurriedly stood up, put his middle finger on his lips, turned around and saw that there was no movement in Xun He, and then went out.

"What's the fuss, what's the matter?"

Liu Er gasped for a while before replying: "The door... outside the door, a man and a horse said they wanted to find Lord Shen. That horse was so fierce that I wouldn't let it in. It hoofed and would stare at me."

"What? A horse?" Shen Yue thought for a while, then asked again, "That horse is all white?"

"Yes, she is as white as a princess, but she has a shrew temper."

Before Liu Er finished cursing, Shen Yue strode out.

At the door, the round-headed guy grabbed the reins and fought against the horses, muttering, "Please give me some peace in my house! Could it be that you just slammed into the door?!"

"Silver Lion!"

The white horse, which was struggling to break free just now, immediately became docile when it heard the call.Shen Yue stepped forward, stroked the horse's neck, and asked Da Shun: "What's going on?"

"Master Shen, Silver Lion stopped eating. Yesterday he crashed into the stable, and today he became even more arrogant and ran out. I had no choice but to bring him here and let him see you."

Shen Yue looked at the white horse, and within a few days, he saw that the animal's once fat and sturdy muscles had shrunk a little.

However, at this moment when the silver lion saw its master, its previous irritability was swept away, and it turned to caress Shen Yue's cheek uncontrollably, snorting.

Shen Yue caressed the horse for a while, sighed, and said: "I won't be able to go to war anymore, what good is it to follow me? Why don't you hand over to Jiang Xingjun and let him arrange a good place for you."

As soon as Shen Yue finished speaking, he heard the silver lion stop snorting. Shen Yue stood up and looked at the horse, but saw the silver lion's big black eyes, drooping eyelids, moist and shiny, full of tears.

It's uncomfortable here, even Shen Yue couldn't help but look away.

The white horse couldn't speak, and Dashun spoke for him: "There is no shortage of a war horse in the barracks, but the silver lion can't be short of you, Lord Shen. I also want to continue to follow Lord Shen. I... I eat less and work hard. Although the silver lion He eats a lot, but he usually has a quiet temperament and is not annoying, Master Shen... Can Master Shen ask Mr. Qiu for us to stay in the Qiu Mansion..." After speaking, the voice became weaker, showing confidence insufficient.

After all, Dashun and Shen Yue have known each other for many years. How could the old Shen man, who was a dilapidated and tough man, beg for mercy for such a trivial matter?

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Just when Dashun was about to give up, Shen Yue actually said: "Okay, I'll ask."

Xun He vaguely heard footsteps, and when he opened his eyes to look back, there was no one in the room, only the clear and audible aroma of barbecue.During these years of recuperation, Yinzhang and Aunt Yin banned all hot and cold things, now smelling this fragrance, Xun He got up and followed the smell to the central hall.

Seeing a plate of roasted sweet potatoes on the table, he had a rare appetite, so Xun He decided to cut it first and then play. He picked a sweet potato, peeled it and ate it.

Well, the inside is still warm and hot, and the tip of the tongue is sweet and soft.The appetite has dwindled over the years, and Xun He can't remember clearly. When was the last time he had the enjoyment of taste?

When Shen Yue returned to the thatched house, he saw Xun He sitting in the middle hall from a distance, gnawing on the red orange thing, chewing slowly, like a child finally eating the food he has been coveting for a long time .

In order to appetize this kid, Shen Yue hired a well-known cook at his own expense these days, and made meals for him in different ways, but this person was on the dining table as if he was on the execution ground, and he only pretended to eat two mouthfuls of food after he watched closely .

Unexpectedly, it was the most mundane food that whetted his appetite.

For a moment, Shen Yue forgot what he wanted to ask, and stood in a daze under the moon cave door in the courtyard, looking at the man from a distance.

Deep in my memory, there seemed to be a time when that person ate sweet potatoes deliciously.It's still on the way to meet King Xian, this kid pointed to the freshly baked potatoes at the roadside vendor, with a smile on his eyes, said that it was his favorite food, and insisted on paying for Shen Yue's full meal A blessing in disguise.

How long?

11 years.

Not thinking about it, unforgettable.

A sweet potato was eaten, and Xun He licked off the remnants of his fingertips. When he looked up, he saw Shen Yue standing in the distance, staring at him.

He took a bite of the delicious food by himself, but Shen Yue caught him straight, and Xun He got up hesitantly: "Master Shen?"

Seeing Xun He's mouth move slightly, Shen Yue remembered why he came here this time, so he walked into the room and asked Xun He: "I want to ask you something."

He was ready to be scolded, but Shen Yue unexpectedly said such a sentence.Xun He: "?? Just open your mouth."

"Can the Qiu Mansion add two more people, oh no, one person and one horse."

Obviously Shen Yue made the request, but in the current scene, Shen Yue stared at Xun He who lowered his eyes and nodded, as if he was torturing Xun He.

There is no doubt that there is him in Xunhe, and the guilt of being caught stealing food is stuck in his throat, and he said embarrassingly: "It turned out to be because of this... these trivial matters, from now on, you can make the decision, don't ask me."

"Well," Shen Yue didn't expect that Xun He would refuse, and looked at the pinch of sweet potato skins on the table, and asked, "Do you still like to eat this?"

"Ah?!" Xun He looked at Shen Yue and searched his guts, only to recall some dusty memories, "My lord is interested, I still remember these."

However, Shen Yue answered irrelevantly: "Okay. The horse is my mount for battles all the year round, and the person, you have seen him before, is that brat, Da Shun. The horse didn't see me for a few days and ran out of the stable. Da Shun had to take him with him. They all want to continue following me..."

Xun He hurriedly said: "You don't need to explain, I just said it, you can be the master, you don't have to...don't..."

There is no need to be so humble.

Xun He would rather see Shen Yue gnashing his teeth at him to be domineering than to see him beggarly.

Shen Yue nodded: "Okay, then I'll go and bring them in first." When he turned around, Shen Yue thought of something again, put his hand on Xun He's shoulder, and exerted a little force, "Your legs are not fully recovered yet, don't stand up." Alright, sit down and rest."

Seeing that Xun He had sat down, Shen Yue went out.

When passing through the Moon Cave Gate, Shen Yue bumped into a person who was rushing over.The two fixed their eyes, Shen Yue still frowned solemnly, but the person who came came exclaimed: "Shen Yue!?"

Liu Er ran behind and shouted: "Master Sha Ou, wait for me! The master may still be taking a nap at this point..." When he ran closer, seeing the two people who were facing each other, Liu Er wondered, "What? You two know?……"
