—I'm fine, really fine.
——I must be more careful in the future, this time thanks to Confucianism.
——Don't worry, and don't need to borrow someone, someone will take care of you.
A few words back and forth, dry, Qiao Rulai couldn't remember how many times she said it after regaining consciousness, and it was not interesting for me to listen to it.
His eyes were covered with a silk sash, and he seemed to touch it blankly, and he immediately understood it when he was used to cooperating with Confucianism.
He showed worry on his face, and said to the messenger who came to see him: "The patient is not in good spirits, he is almost done today." Then he turned around, "Brother Qiao Tathagata, you should rest first, I will send him off and leave."
Xiuru rushed to lead the person away, and Qiao Tathagata finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
Lie down too much and get tired easily. Since he can get up, he often sits under the window to bask in the sun.The sun was not strong in the afternoon, he looked at the world gently, and his body was warm. He lay down in the small space between the table and his arms, and he was in a daze after a while.
When Xiuru came back, holding the letter, he couldn't help laughing and said, "If you want to sleep, you should go back to bed, and I'll help you."
"No need." Qiao Rulai straightened up, a little surprised, "Didn't you just say you were leaving?"
"Let me take another look." After Xiuru finished speaking, he put on the wrist that Qiao Rulai consciously stretched out, hesitated and said, "A letter from Buishuang Xiaolou."
"You go out for a year, they naturally want to see, in fact, they should take the initiative to visit, but unfortunately I'm not good at it." Qiao Tathagata smiled, "Worried about me?"
"That said, can I still not worry?" Xiuru sighed, "The serious injury has not recovered, the chronic poison in the poison, the attack is fierce, and the root of the disease has been buried deep for a long time. , who knew that the remaining poison would cause old injuries and cause blindness... After a hundred days of injury, the internal organs have to be nourished before they can withstand the next round of detoxification. It is my fault for not cultivating enough. .”
As the person involved in the serious injury and poisoning, Qiao Tathagata was more open-minded than the doctor, and wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but Xiuru consciously went up to him if he couldn't touch it for a while, "There is a way, I just need to take a rest. The situation is fine these days, You go to Buried Shuang Xiaolou to have a look."
"It will take several days to go there." Xiuru thought about it, and there were several families near Zhengqi Villa, "I saw Li Zheng come to talk to Shi Junzi before, and Shi Junzi said he was an acquaintance, and he still greeted you. I Go and entrust him to take care of you, or you won't be at ease."
Qiao Rulai listened carefully to the sound of footsteps going away, and raised her hand hesitantly, wanting to touch the utensils around her.
The small table is hard and cold, and the carved corners are slightly dry to the touch, because they are covered with floating dust.Probing forward, he accidentally touched the teapot, it was no longer so hot, but it still made him shiver.
Qiao Rulai stood up and walked towards the door in his memory. In just a few short steps, he felt nervous walking on a tightrope.
Usually seeing the six directions, of course, I don’t think it’s so strange, but it’s too terrible to really lose sight. Walking around without someone to guide and support, I feel uneasy, and I’m not so vulnerable when I’m seriously injured.
The sequelae of blindness are really troublesome.
"Tables, chairs, uh, antique racks..."
Qiao Rulai walked out of the inner room, leaning against the wall and facing outwards, her hand was suddenly empty.
"Oh, it's the door." He raised his legs slightly and crossed the threshold, muttering to himself, "There are steps outside..."
Zhengqi Villa, the Shijia’s ancestral home, sounds nice, but it’s actually empty shelf.Shi Yanwen has more hobbies as he gets older, and when he is at home, he usually hoes the ground, plants flowers and some grass, and the huge courtyard is quite lively.As soon as Shi Yanwen left home, he was eight hundred miles away. The gate of Zhengqi Villa was closed, and the inside was silently decayed by time.
Coming back this time, Xiuru repeatedly said that he should ask someone to repair it, but Qiao Tathagata responded vaguely, but he didn't take it very seriously - anyway, he will not be here for a long time.There wasn't much dust in the back kitchen of the bedroom, and Xiuru cleaned the usable places, so the two lived here casually.
When the ancestor was an official, the house was simple and simple, Shi Yanwen couldn't think of Tim, and Qiao Tathagata didn't care much.It is a bit exaggerated to say that the walls are bare, and to say that decorations are necessary for life, and there is nothing superfluous other than household items. Qiao Tathagata feels very reassuring and bold.He doesn't worry about breaking anything, even if it breaks, it's okay, anyway, his own doesn't need to pay for it, and it's not expensive.
It's a pity that despite being careful, Qiao Rulai doesn't live in Zhengqi Villa, after all, she is unfamiliar.He descended the steps following his memory, and suddenly stepped on the ground.
In the chaos, there was a clear muffled sound from the muscles and bones, and then there was a sharp pain in the ankle, and the internal organs fell heavily, as uncomfortable as being pulled by an iron hook.
He coughed and patted the dirt, gasping for breath in pain, and turned back to touch the instigator, not feeling dirty at all.I was still confused at first, but when I touched it, I was stunned—a part was missing on the right side. I usually pay attention to the left side when my eyesight is good. No wonder I fell today.
The ankle hurts a lot, Qiao Tathagata is used to wearing monk shoes, and she doesn't put on leggings when she is sick at home. The thin fabric scrapes and wraps it loosely, and it still feels hot to the touch.
It must be swollen.
Is it too late to call Xiuru back now?
Qiao Rulai's lack of energy and spirit was relieved after such a fall, suppressing the blood in her breath, bathing in the warm sunshine, unconsciously feeling sleepy.
People's tolerance to pain is always improving by leaps and bounds. As long as they don't move, it seems that they don't feel pain. He simply sits there and basks in the sun, really going with the situation.
Blindness not only makes people lose control of the road ahead, but also blurs the passage of time. As the footsteps approached, Qiao Tathagata blinked her dull eyes and subconsciously said, "Cultivating Confucianism? Come and help me."
The cool wind blew the deep and cold aloe, so pretty that she said to herself, "It's you."
The other party responded indifferently, proving their identity.
Of all the people, Qiao Tathagata is the least happy to see King Yan at the moment, but it is his senior brother who came here, and he is caught in the eyes of the other party who is in a mess, and he doesn't know what kind of ridicule he will reap.
Thinking about it this way, it would be nice to not be able to see people's expressions.Qiao Tathagata has a good temper, and she was prepared to be deliberately questioned, so of course she would not take it to heart.Yan Wang's face looked like a smile but not a smile, he was sleepy, and there was a deliberate sneer at the corners of his eyes and brows, which was really annoying.
Now that he couldn't see it, he was actually quite calm - as if a black-skinned radish was standing in front of him, how could people and radishes be angry?
"Brother, are you here to see a joke?" He said again.
Qiao Tathagata's voice is clear, transparent and soft, and it's still pleasant to hear even after recovering from a serious illness.He was originally worried, but when he thought about it, he was in an inexplicably good mood. The rare joy made the whole person feel a rare lightness. On the way King Yan came, he wondered whether this person would be depressed due to blindness. When he saw it, he felt weird in his heart. .
He looked Qiao Tathagata up and down, "Junior brother is blind, but he has a surprisingly good temper."
Qiao Rulai groped for the steps and wanted to get up, but when she moved her ankle a little, the pain and electricity rushed straight to her forehead, and she couldn't get up for a while.He had no choice but to turn to the source of the voice, "Brother, if he says he is here to visit a sick person, he will be considered astonishingly good-natured."
His face was pale, his legs were propped up, and his loose fingers trembled faintly. He was obviously very uncomfortable, and he still wanted to keep his face.King Yan saw it, and said in a business-like but warm tone: "Don't be so surprised, Junior Brother, I am really good-natured."
If it wasn't from the Mohist school, no one would doubt the teacher's concern, "Juzi is seriously injured, Shangxian Palace should send someone to take care of it, some Mohists are still in the future, and they can be dispatched at will after they have all the juniors."
Qiao Rulai refused, "I'm used to living alone, I don't need strangers to serve me."
"Today is different from the past, junior brother, don't be brave." Yan Wang said indifferently, "Blindness is not serious, and it is really inconvenient to live if you say it is not serious. It is difficult for you to live alone, let alone life."
Qiao Rulai was out of energy and had already started to feel drowsy. She just wanted to send his senior brother away quickly, and went back to the room after resting. Hearing this, he said casually: "Tori from the Cultivation of Confucianism Society is here to take care of it. My father and I met before. Very good countryman. I am not used to having strangers living in the house."
The silence made him puzzled, and he was still waiting for a slow sarcasm, but it turned out to be calm.He finally heard a laugh, and while his mind froze, he was still a little stable.
I am sick and confused.
Qiao Tathagata was meditating, and Yan Wang had already said slowly, "Is it enough to be familiar enough, Juzi?"
The last two words were accented, and he spoke very slowly. King Yan waited for the answer with great interest, but unfortunately his junior brother couldn't see his expression, and luckily he couldn't.
Qiao Rulai just wanted to slap her legs, but held back in mid-air.
He really set a trap for himself, and he drilled it tightly. If you want to say he is familiar, isn't this senior brother the closest?
However, King Yan would definitely not take care of it himself. He calmed down, stretched out his hand, and regained the previous happiness: "Why don't you help me up first, brother, and we can talk later?"
Yan Wang is a man, he does not talk about it, he is very serious about demeanor, he is meticulous in high crown and long clothes on weekdays, he has a stable preference for drinking tea and incense, and he has been south to the Central Plains for many years.Qiao Tathagata fell into a mess just now, her robe was stained with dirt, her palms were rubbed with mud, and while she was talking in boredom, she casually rubbed a mark on the hem of her clothes, paired with that handsome, dazed and intelligent face, the Yan Wang's eyelids twitched.
He sneered, "Do you know how dirty you are?"
Qiao Tathagata smiled when she heard the words, and her gentle tone even sounded a bit seductive, "Give me a hand, I don't look like sitting all the time, I just want to stand up and walk by myself. Brother always wears black clothes, and the cuffs are also complicated, You can't tell that it's dirty after a while—"
Stopped abruptly.
"It's still so heavy when you're sick." King Yan said impatiently.
"..." Qiao Rulai's planned words got stuck in her throat, and she said angrily, "Where is it sinking?"
King Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him, he wrapped his arms around his waist and his legs with one arm, just picked him up like this, and walked steadily into the house.
He put Qiao Tathagata down on the bed, glanced at the house, which he said was simple and shabby at best, but felt horrible, shook his head, and said casually, "Stick out your legs."
Qiao Rulai lowered her head, as if she didn't hear.Due to recuperation, her snow-white hair was untied, falling down on her thin shoulders, and part of her expression was covered by her temple hair.He seemed to have thought of something, licked his dry lips, pursed them and then relaxed, the floating red was faintly tinged with water.
King Yan had been staring at him patiently, but now he took half a step back, "Wait for me."
Qiao Tathagata still didn't respond, but when the Yan Wang Seeker took the wound medicine and walked back slowly, the junior brother at the bedside was already sitting upright.There was a towel in his hand, the palms and backs of his hands were white and clean, revealing two or three slightly swollen red marks, and the mud marks were completely gone.
"You twisted it yourself?" King Yan glanced at the paulownia frame in the corner of the room and the dots of water stains on the ground, "It's hard for you to jump back and forth on one leg, with your legs still stable."
Qiao Tathagata snorted, he was very calm, but unfortunately his ears were not as calm as the laughter, the tips of his tender ears clinging to the scarlet, and he fainted quite red with embarrassment.King Yan's thumb casually scratched it, causing the eyebrows of the two pretty Tathagatas to frown slightly, but they didn't say anything.
"Take off your shoes, sit in a little bit, put your legs up—what do you think, it's medicine."
"I didn't think about anything." Qiao Rulai retorted in a low voice, took off her shoes, fumbled to roll up one trouser leg, and asked, "Is it very swollen?"
King Yan said casually: "With a well-thought-out plan, one foot is empty, which is enough to make people wonder how impatient the younger brother is."
The actual situation is worse than what he said.Qiao Tathagata sat there stupidly, the wound was swollen, red and hot, the sharp cut off the skin was scratched by the heel, and the oozing blood had dried up.
King Yan twisted the towel again, and Qiao Rulai's leg twitched as soon as he wiped it off. After applying the medicine, he remained stiff.He didn't really have any idea at first, so he couldn't help but sneered when he saw this, he pinched a piece of Bai Yuxiao's calf, and checked the wound with his hands, just to make people hurt.
Qiao Rulai couldn't help frowning, let him pinch and rub, and only muttered when the person left, "It hurts."
"Would you like to go out by yourself if you know it hurts?" King Yan's voice was a little farther away, "The Confucianism cultivator should have kept you in the house, but in the end you have suffered an innocent disaster."
Most of the brothers and sisters meet, the wind blows you and the wind blows me again, playing machine fronts back and forth to keep three points, or simply have no time to chat, the intimacy is terrible, but it is definitely not friendly.The two of them got along peacefully in the past two years, and Qiao Rulai deeply felt that this was the result of her unilateral tolerance. Yan Wang's behavior and speech were extremely utilitarian, he was good at self-cultivation, he didn't want to care about it, he only chanted scriptures like a bastard, he didn't respond and didn't get angry .
The people who said it were less interesting, so naturally they stopped a lot, and they seemed to be very harmonious on the surface.
The Empress Huang, who watched the whole process of development, was very speechless. Every time she saw the two nephews chatting in the Shangxian Palace, the content was varied, harmonious and discordant, and the expression was always not so good-looking.Yan Wang glanced at her with a half-smile, Qiao Tathagata saluted her kindly, four large characters were written on her beautiful face—it was hard to describe—he just wanted to raise his gun and tell the pair of senior brothers to get out of her sight as soon as possible .
No one spoke in the room, only the slight sound of water, Qiao Rulai leaned against the bed frame, thinking that King Yan had just applied medicine for him, probably full of disgust at the fragrance of grass and trees in his hand, and suddenly smiled.
King Yan washed his hands patiently, and was wiping his fingers with a handkerchief, when he heard the voice, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's good to be invisible, and it's amazing to be served by someone." Qiao Tathagata turned her head to follow the voice, "Lord of Feather Kingdom, His Excellency King Yan, senior brother Shangguan Hongxin—do you think so?"
King Yan was silent for a while, and asked: "Blindness due to poisoning, why do you have to cover your eyes?"
Qiao Tathagata said seriously: "It's not easy to refuse a visit, it's more convenient to refuse customers if you wear it, don't you think it looks like you're blind and won't recover in a short time?"
Yan Wang didn't respond, probably because he thought the reason was ridiculous, the sound of small footsteps quickly disappeared, Qiao Rulai took off his coat in the dark, leaned on his arms and closed his eyes.
he's gone.
■
In the early morning of the next day, Qiao Tathagata, who was used to light sleep, woke up amidst a burst of noise.
He rubbed his eyes, the darkness didn't dissipate even half of it, and he put down his hands, as if he hadn't forgotten that he was completely blind at the moment.
"Junior brother, don't sleep for a while, I'm moving things outside."
The deep and clear male voice entered into the mind together with Chen Xiang, Qiao Rulai was not very happy to be woken up, and said: "I can't sleep with this posture."
Yan Wang said "Oh", turning a blind eye to the astonishment of the young Mohist's eyeballs in the room, he lifted the bed curtain, and mercilessly lifted Qiao Rulai's collar, "Wake up if you don't sleep, it's hard to watch you lie in bed and recuperate." I'm sick and confused." Without turning his head, he continued, "Serve Juzi to wash up."
Qiao Rulai waved his hand away, suppressed the anger that had just awakened, and straightened his clothes, "I'm not that useless."
He sat up straight, lowered his legs, and was taken aback for a moment.I don't know when the blanket covered with hard bricks and stones is extremely soft, and the soles of the feet that are scratched by stepping on it are faintly itchy, engulfed in the warmth of the fluff.
"Juzi, the water is coming." A strange female voice came from the restless young Mohist. She looked at Juzi with a worried face and King Yan next to him, and added in embarrassment, "Soon, Don't move."
"Excuse me." Qiao Tathagata responded mechanically.
He was about to spit out the water, and when something came, he stretched out his hand. After wiping his face, the towel was just put down, and he was picked up.He smelled a burst of fragrance, and said helplessly, "Do you want to put more fat on it?"
Yan Wang, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, said coolly: "Come in the wind and rain, I think the younger brother needs it."
Qiao Tathagata didn't hear it and only waved her hand.
Mo Zhe didn't insist, and got approval from Yan Wang's eyes, and retreated with relief.
Xiuru sorted out some old clothes for Qiao Tathagata early in the morning, dragged three or two suitcases and placed them at the foot of the bed, using different keys to differentiate their uses.Qiao Rulai fumbled for the shape of the key to open the box, picked up both sides at random and got up to wear it.
There is no need for neat shorts at home, and Qiao Rulai originally intended to shorten her long hair, which she had no time to trim when she went out, but Xiuru remembered it only after leaving, so she had to give up.He was blind, and the few old clothes selected by Xiuru had no complicated decorations. The buttons on the waist of the coat were tightly wrapped, and everything was safe and convenient.Qiao Rulai has a youthful face, she has faded in the past few years, but she still doesn't look old, her long hair is not tied up, and she looks younger than usual in old clothes.
Mo Zhe was moving his family outside, and occasional voices could be heard in the quiet room.Qiao Rulai put on her clothes calmly, and Xianxin Yanwang asked if it was neat, and when he got affirmation, he went back to the bed and fumbled, slowly but without impatience.He drew out a white silk ribbon from the quilt, smoothed out the creases and pasted it on his eyes, it was the same one from yesterday.
The blood-red coral pendant at the end of the silk belt flickered, rolled onto the shoulders, and rolled into the collar. The whole peaceful and white person had only this dazzling color, which made people reluctant to look away.
King Yan sat idle aside, watching him fiddle with for a long time to find a silk belt, and thought it was funny: "Are you happy to pretend?"
"Beware of any more ignorant visitors."
Hearing these words, the Central Plains people might be overwhelmed by the righteousness of the leader, and expressed their disappointment in the "you, you, you" for not giving their all to the Shi family.Even if the three sons of the Shi family seemed the most sexual, even if they smiled, they didn't necessarily take it seriously.
King Yan said lazily: "Junior Brother, I'm worrying too much. I'm here. There probably won't be any guests in Zhengqi Villa."
"Senior Brother said, thanks to the reputation of Senior Brother."
Qiao Tathagata said casually that her mind was all on the silk belt, and she turned around to compete after she finished speaking.A few days ago, it was done by Confucianism practitioners. At this time, he put the silk belt on his eyes, and the back of his head can no longer be covered, or the back of his head is fastened, and the broken hair that is close to the ear is loosened after flicking, which is really annoying. big.
Yan Wang stood up and stretched out his hand, Qiao Rulai turned his head in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"Don't move."
Pressing his shoulder with two fingers, Yan Wang was not strong, but he could not refuse. Qiao Tathagata could only lower her head slightly, and a fan-shaped shadow fell from her eyelashes, covering her dull and dull eyes.
King Yan made a gesture and posted it up, "Hold on, I'm about to tie it, so let me know if it's tight."
Qiao Rulai touched the ribbon, pressed the corners with both hands, blinked subconsciously, the eyelashes scraped against the smooth fabric, and made a slight rustling sound, which was very clear mixed with the steady breathing of the two of them.
From a certain point of view, incense is not a good habit. There are always subtle residues between the fingertips in the hair, and it is easy for people to catch traces when hiding the figure.At this moment King Yan stood in front of him, the not-so-strong fragrance seemed to have taken shape, forming a cloud, wrapping tightly around his scattered thoughts, kneading slowly while flowing.
Qiao Tathagata was not at ease, "Are you alright?"
"Brother, don't worry."
Yan Wang loosely tied beautiful knots, hooked out the sideburns that were suppressed on both sides, and pinched Qiao Tathagata's thin red ears.After combing the white hair casually, I tied it up carefully, just to cover those beautiful eyes, "Isn't it good?"
It's a pity that I can't see it.
It's a pity that too many people see it.
King Yan looked at his junior brother with his hands behind his back.
Qiao Tathagata adjusted the position of the silk belt, pushed aside the pendant that had fallen into the collar, and brushed all the white hair back to the shoulders, and patted the sleeves leisurely, showing no concealment for the delay of time.
"Go out to the town to eat something, stay in the room and only drink medicine for a day, you choose one."
"Eat and eat." Qiao Rulai sighed, "Where are my shoes?"
"On the left side..." King Yan saw him sit down angrily and paused, then asked suspiciously, "The injury is really on the eye, isn't it somewhere else?"
"I'm blind and my feet hurt. It's so convenient." Qiao Rulai replied briefly.
He hooked his fingers to the shoes, and put them on with his left and right legs stretched out, not cramped at all.The lacing was a bit troublesome, it came loose twice when it was tightened, it was because there were too many left, he didn't care whether the shoes looked good or not, he didn't hear the Yan Wang's voice when he got up, he couldn't help wondering: "Where is the person?"
Yan Dynasty stuffed a wet towel in his hand, and he was very disgusted, "We are going to eat, you wipe it off."
Qiao Tathagata wiped her palms perfunctorily, and handed it back to King Yan, who didn't have much to say, so she said, "Let's go?"
In the past two days, being helped out of the habit by Confucianism, he stretched out his hand, and at first he didn't feel wrong.Yan Wang took it, he did, he wouldn't walk slowly with his arm like Xiuru, he just grabbed his wrist and took it out.
Qiao Rulai almost stepped on the hem of her clothes, and couldn't help but said, "Your Excellency King Yan, I can't see the way."
King Yan stopped quickly, but he didn't let go, with a smile in his eyes, "It's the steps you fell yesterday, do you want me to hug you?"
"...Don't bother senior brother." Qiao Rulai leaned down step by step, patting her chest as she walked.
"Do you suffer from internal injuries?"
"Fortunately."
Yan Wang walked a little slower next.
The wound medicine of the Mo family is very effective, and the ankle is actually not hurting much. There are not many opportunities for King Yan to stay by his side honestly.
The hand clasping the wrist grabbed his at some point, Qiao Rulai thought about it, but she didn't break free.
■
It's not that Qiao Tathagata has never lived with King Yan.
The meaning of this residence is quite broad, two rooms are residences, and one is also a residence, and the word "congquan" cannot be escaped.It is common for couples to have an affair overnight, and it is not uncommon for a few days later to speak sharply and stab someone with a knife. No wonder Empress Huang finds it difficult to explain when seeing a pair of nephews and nephews appearing at the same time.
Mo Zhe came and went in Zhengqi Villa these days, Qiao Rulai looked as usual, it seemed that he was not the one who said that he was not used to strangers, anyway, the person who came to take care of him with a smile did not appear again.
Juzi has been in the job for many years, and it is the first time that Qiao Rulai feels that being a high-level person is not bad.
The free labor force helps furnish this shabby house, and he does not have to pay for the household expenses himself. He just opens his mouth for food, stretches out his hands for clothes, sits on the long couch and recites scriptures. back to the room.He didn't have much else to do--what quiet recreation doesn't require eyes?The Mohist who served nearby chose a lot of travel notes, and read them to pass the time with him.
Qiao Tathagata felt drowsy when she heard it, and asked casually, "Is King Yan here these days?"
"Moved today."
Mo Zhe's answer made him stunned, "Can the guest room in the back be used if no one has been there for a long time?"
"It's the east wing of your courtyard. Please wait a moment, Juzi." Mo Zhe saw that the cup of tea had run out, and the teapot was empty. He went out to make new tea, and then he came back and said, "Cleaning and changing the household in these two days, otherwise Mr. If you don’t want to live in it, it’s better to tear it down and rebuild it after saying it a few times…”
Arrangement of Juzi's ancestral house, although it is a paraphrase, the voice of the young Mohist is still low, inevitably a bit cramped.
It is a fact that Zhengqi Villa is desolate, but Qiao Tathagata didn't take it seriously, and said softly: "I don't care about my home, the old house is in a period of renovation, you're laughing at me."
A stone fell from Mo Zhe's heart, and he said: "Recently, the garden of the house will be repaired. The master said that the trees and flowers should be prepared to see what will happen in spring, so there may be some movement occasionally. Juzi has never slept well..."
"The dose of tranquilizing medicine should be higher."
"It's three-point medicine." Mo Zhe was a little worried, and Qiao Tathagata smiled and let him go down.
He tried to imagine the brand-new Zhengqi Villa, but found that he couldn't quite imagine it.
At the beginning of the memory, the ancestral house is a half-old appearance, empty and deserted, except for the old servants who have passed away for many years.The father was away, and living in the huge mansion could be called a lonely family. It was a pity to imagine the prosperity when it was completed.
Will the eyes heal when spring comes?
Or do you want to get used to exploring the way with bamboo branches, step by step, and walk carefully throughout your life?
Qiao Tathagata took a deep breath, her chest heaved and repeated several times, and there was always a feeling of anxiety in her heart that she couldn't hold down.
He closed his eyes, his brows were filled with indelible gloom, his long snow-white hair made his complexion even worse, almost a little more serious, and the sunlight that shone on his face also cooled down.
King Yan walked up with his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows when he saw this, thinking that he had read it wrong.
Qiao Rulai heard the noise and quickly recovered, and smiled nonchalantly, "Brother, do you play chess? The things are on the side bracket, if you want, please ask brother to get them."
There are a lot of boring things piled up on the side brackets, and the chessboard is definitely one of the most uninteresting items.It is impossible to collect dust in just a few days, and there is no need for it. Seeing that the position is not very neat, King Yan asked curiously: "Did you play chess with the lower class these few days?"
"Just ask them to play according to the chess record." Qiao Rulai raised her face, lacking in interest, "I'm not very good at first, so I don't want to make people laugh. There are voices in the room, and I feel more comfortable."
"Be more comfortable? Isn't junior brother not used to interacting with strangers?"
"I lied to senior brother, will senior brother really believe it?" Qiao Tathagata was calm and calm, and replied in a calm manner, "Don't talk too much, will you come?"
"It's still the same, you hold the ink." King Yan moved the chessboard, and pushed the chess cup over habitually, but it was returned as a matter of course.
Qiao Rulai's fair-skinned fingers pressed against the back of his hand, and it felt slightly cool to the touch. With a little more force, the pressed nails slightly changed color.His pale face was covered with the warmth of the sun, and his illness was relieved. He raised his chin slightly, and his graceful lines were hidden in the loose collar all the way. "I can't see, of course I have to trouble my brother."
King Yan laughed, "I forgot."
There are many talented historians, and the handsome one is especially glamorous, otherwise he would not have gotten such a deceptive title when he first stepped into the rivers and lakes. Some people always thought that his temperament was just like his appearance, and his appearance was like a good girl, weak and slender.At the beginning, Yan Wang only felt that this junior brother was still young, and he was in such a precarious situation, so his harsh words were quite powerful.
Born in the court, he is used to seeing beauties, no matter how beautiful they are, they are still beautiful, he is only curious about the gentle sharpness that pierces the eyebrows, even if there is a real shape, it will go straight to the heart.
As the years get older, the pretty Tathagata is like polished and transparent jade, warm and radiant, making people feel close to each other unconsciously.His identity is there, and those who need to worry are also there. There are only a few people around him, and there are not many times when he really laughs.
Emotions can be used as a protective color, and can be tempered as a weapon to the outside world. There is no doubt that letting the mind and self-destruction.King Yan knew this best, so he was surprised when he saw Qiao Tathagata with sprained feet—his junior brother really showed a good temper.
A little bit less scruples, worry and joy are on the face, people are not so tense, and their actions are much more casual.
No matter how powerful Ren Yanwang was, he still couldn't get into the heart of his junior brother. Through his eyes, he looked at his delicate skin and saw a tall and straight black-skinned carrot.
After cleaning up, King Yan said regretfully, "I'm not interested in you doing this."
Qiao Rulai stretched her legs, sat on the couch, and moved to the corner, with the soft cushion on her vest.King Yan had no doubts that his junior brother's real intention was to lie down, and the fact was almost the same, he raised his hand, hugged the cushion and closed his eyes.
Black and white are all in the hands of King Yan, he not only has to report the move, but also acts on behalf of the beautiful Tathagata, which is indeed very boring.
Qiao Tathagata was not yet full of energy, he leaned sideways, and was already getting sleepy, after two or three rounds, he was thinking too much and began to faint, gradually procrastinating for longer and longer.His chess skills are considered to be above-average, he was busy running around and didn't care to study, he was actually worse than King Goose. Fortunately, they didn't ask for any life or death game.It was dark before Qiao Rulai's eyes, and all kinds of sounds gradually became blurred. Once King Yan reported that he had fallen asleep three times and didn't hear a response, he knew he was really asleep.
A person with long hands and long legs, sleeping curled up in a corner doesn't look like a good person, King Yan got up and stared at him for a while, frowned and pushed the small table away, regardless of whether it would wake him up, he took him into his arms The upholstery is set aside.
Qiao Tathagata was as conscious as he thought, without opening her eyes, she groped for the cushion and fell down, this time it was much more comfortable.
He didn't sleep for long.Three meals a day, according to the doctor's order of Xiu Confucianism, the bitter medicine is fixed at a fixed time.There is also a notice first, and the porridge and side dishes brought by the Mozhe will be dealt with first.
Qiao Tathagata held the bowl obediently, but ate slowly, looking very uncomfortable. After a while, she put down her chopsticks and only ate half of it. After drinking the medicine, she was full of bitterness, and finally lost her appetite.He drank tea silently, feeling relieved that there was only three points left in the bitterness.
It's been almost half a month since I've been in a coma and drank this medicine...
Not recovered at all.
The weather is getting warmer, and I don't know what the Mohist has changed in the room, but it is still warm.There is a faint scent of agarwood floating in the air, I don't know if it is the incense from incense, or it is left by King Yan.He took off the slippery silk belt he slept on, combed his long hair absently, and suddenly caught a movement that didn't belong to him.
Very light, very light, the sound of paper flipping.
"Brother is still here." Qiao Rulai was a little surprised, "What are you looking at?"
"Journey to the middle of Shu."
Yan Wang's voice was clear, but he was not on the opposite side. Qiao Tathagata felt inexplicably lost. She sat up quietly for a while, stepped on her shoes and stood up.
"Want to go out?" King Yan raised his eyes, but Qiao Rulai waved his hand.
The other breath in the room was shallow and peaceful. He pursed his lips, listened carefully, and took hesitant steps without pinching the bamboo stick beside him.
What is it like to be born whole and suddenly blind?
King Yan thought for the first time, and found a long-lost uneasiness and anxiety floating in his heart.
It is a habit to grasp everything that can be mastered, but there is something wrong with the body, and blame has no effect.Reason can make the face look peaceful, but the heart can say nothing.
Before he hit the corner of the desk, King Yan said, "Take three steps to the left, or you will hit the desk."
Qiao Rulai touched the hard wood, "Originally here - just in the corner, I accidentally split a piece... did you change the table?"
Yan Wang mocked: "Do you need me to express my straightforward contempt for the young master of Zhengqi Villa from the house to the interior?"
Qiao Rulai still wanted to talk, but accidentally rolled up the tea with his sleeves and wet his hands. Fortunately, it was cold tea, not hot, and the tea was astringent, but the dank chill inexplicably chilled his heart.He didn't care about Yan Wang frowning, he just wiped the sleeve on the other side casually, and groped for Yan Wang, "Where's your face?"
"...Here." King Yan struggled to get his wet fingers out of his neck, and moved them up, rarely feeling uncomfortable.
Qiao Rulai stood very close, lowered her head, and held his face with both hands, as if treating him as a decoration in the room.
This is a scrutinizing gesture, but unfortunately those shallow eyes are lifeless, using hands as eyes, engraving the clear outline of the person in front of him into the gloomy field of vision.
Qiao Rulai touched his back ears from his face, wandering back and forth like lingering, the inexplicable and displeasure of Yan Wang at the beginning was dispelled by him, and he narrowed his pure golden eyes, wanting to see what he was going to do.
They were too close, the simplicity of the saponin on Qiao Rulai's body was suppressed by the agarwood, and the long snow-white hair slipped between the fingers on the overlapping side of King Yan, itching and cold, ambiguous and indifferent.
He has been sitting in an even and stable position, neither speaking nor moving, until Qiao Rulai put down his hand, suddenly clasped his back waist and pressed him against his leg.
"What does Juzi want to do?" King Yan asked softly.
Warm breath slid over her neck, Qiao Rulai lowered her eyes, shadows fell on her blushing face, the tips of her ears were red and hot, being carelessly rubbed by two cool fingers, her whole body went limp.
He was silent for a while, then honestly climbed onto King Yan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I didn't really want to do anything at first, but I thought it was boring to be alone, so it's better to get closer to people..."
King Yan understood, "Anyway, I think about it now."
Qiao Tathagata really wanted to give him a white look, King Yan knew it well, and couldn't help laughing.
The Mohist sent a message, Juzi was seriously injured, and the poison came out halfway, it took a lot of effort to control the Confucianism, it probably hurt the root, recently he had to rest his mind and replenish his energy, and then make plans for the remaining poison.It is a luxury for Qiao Rulai to recuperate from illness, but blindness forced him to stop and return to his ancestral home like an inn.
Qiaorulai's clothes are easy to wear, and King Yan quickly opened them, revealing the soft chest and belly of the prickly hedgehog, flinching a little, his white chest undulating slightly, and he looks much thinner than before.His face was flushed, his thin lips were slightly parted, and a small section of bright red tongue in the shadow seemed to be tempting someone to kiss.
Yan Wang caressed his slightly blood-stained lips, and said softly: "Remind Juzi, it is daytime, the sky is just right, and there are about two hours before sunset." Slender fingers slipped into the mouth, and pressed the soft tongue , "Juzi is very energetic today, why don't you come by yourself?"
King Yan suddenly loosened his embrace, and grabbed Qiao Rulai's arm to hold his hand.Qiao Rulai gasped, with no support in his lower back, he could only hold onto King Yan, his fragility was in the hands of the other party, he was beaten viciously by him a few times, he was so cramped that he became so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Desire cannot be faked, the corners of his eyes were red, his breathing was short of breath, and he was emotionally moved faster than usual.
King Yan smiled and said, "Actually, now is no different from night to you, and I think it's even better?"
frivolous ending
——I must be more careful in the future, this time thanks to Confucianism.
——Don't worry, and don't need to borrow someone, someone will take care of you.
A few words back and forth, dry, Qiao Rulai couldn't remember how many times she said it after regaining consciousness, and it was not interesting for me to listen to it.
His eyes were covered with a silk sash, and he seemed to touch it blankly, and he immediately understood it when he was used to cooperating with Confucianism.
He showed worry on his face, and said to the messenger who came to see him: "The patient is not in good spirits, he is almost done today." Then he turned around, "Brother Qiao Tathagata, you should rest first, I will send him off and leave."
Xiuru rushed to lead the person away, and Qiao Tathagata finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved.
Lie down too much and get tired easily. Since he can get up, he often sits under the window to bask in the sun.The sun was not strong in the afternoon, he looked at the world gently, and his body was warm. He lay down in the small space between the table and his arms, and he was in a daze after a while.
When Xiuru came back, holding the letter, he couldn't help laughing and said, "If you want to sleep, you should go back to bed, and I'll help you."
"No need." Qiao Rulai straightened up, a little surprised, "Didn't you just say you were leaving?"
"Let me take another look." After Xiuru finished speaking, he put on the wrist that Qiao Rulai consciously stretched out, hesitated and said, "A letter from Buishuang Xiaolou."
"You go out for a year, they naturally want to see, in fact, they should take the initiative to visit, but unfortunately I'm not good at it." Qiao Tathagata smiled, "Worried about me?"
"That said, can I still not worry?" Xiuru sighed, "The serious injury has not recovered, the chronic poison in the poison, the attack is fierce, and the root of the disease has been buried deep for a long time. , who knew that the remaining poison would cause old injuries and cause blindness... After a hundred days of injury, the internal organs have to be nourished before they can withstand the next round of detoxification. It is my fault for not cultivating enough. .”
As the person involved in the serious injury and poisoning, Qiao Tathagata was more open-minded than the doctor, and wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but Xiuru consciously went up to him if he couldn't touch it for a while, "There is a way, I just need to take a rest. The situation is fine these days, You go to Buried Shuang Xiaolou to have a look."
"It will take several days to go there." Xiuru thought about it, and there were several families near Zhengqi Villa, "I saw Li Zheng come to talk to Shi Junzi before, and Shi Junzi said he was an acquaintance, and he still greeted you. I Go and entrust him to take care of you, or you won't be at ease."
Qiao Rulai listened carefully to the sound of footsteps going away, and raised her hand hesitantly, wanting to touch the utensils around her.
The small table is hard and cold, and the carved corners are slightly dry to the touch, because they are covered with floating dust.Probing forward, he accidentally touched the teapot, it was no longer so hot, but it still made him shiver.
Qiao Rulai stood up and walked towards the door in his memory. In just a few short steps, he felt nervous walking on a tightrope.
Usually seeing the six directions, of course, I don’t think it’s so strange, but it’s too terrible to really lose sight. Walking around without someone to guide and support, I feel uneasy, and I’m not so vulnerable when I’m seriously injured.
The sequelae of blindness are really troublesome.
"Tables, chairs, uh, antique racks..."
Qiao Rulai walked out of the inner room, leaning against the wall and facing outwards, her hand was suddenly empty.
"Oh, it's the door." He raised his legs slightly and crossed the threshold, muttering to himself, "There are steps outside..."
Zhengqi Villa, the Shijia’s ancestral home, sounds nice, but it’s actually empty shelf.Shi Yanwen has more hobbies as he gets older, and when he is at home, he usually hoes the ground, plants flowers and some grass, and the huge courtyard is quite lively.As soon as Shi Yanwen left home, he was eight hundred miles away. The gate of Zhengqi Villa was closed, and the inside was silently decayed by time.
Coming back this time, Xiuru repeatedly said that he should ask someone to repair it, but Qiao Tathagata responded vaguely, but he didn't take it very seriously - anyway, he will not be here for a long time.There wasn't much dust in the back kitchen of the bedroom, and Xiuru cleaned the usable places, so the two lived here casually.
When the ancestor was an official, the house was simple and simple, Shi Yanwen couldn't think of Tim, and Qiao Tathagata didn't care much.It is a bit exaggerated to say that the walls are bare, and to say that decorations are necessary for life, and there is nothing superfluous other than household items. Qiao Tathagata feels very reassuring and bold.He doesn't worry about breaking anything, even if it breaks, it's okay, anyway, his own doesn't need to pay for it, and it's not expensive.
It's a pity that despite being careful, Qiao Rulai doesn't live in Zhengqi Villa, after all, she is unfamiliar.He descended the steps following his memory, and suddenly stepped on the ground.
In the chaos, there was a clear muffled sound from the muscles and bones, and then there was a sharp pain in the ankle, and the internal organs fell heavily, as uncomfortable as being pulled by an iron hook.
He coughed and patted the dirt, gasping for breath in pain, and turned back to touch the instigator, not feeling dirty at all.I was still confused at first, but when I touched it, I was stunned—a part was missing on the right side. I usually pay attention to the left side when my eyesight is good. No wonder I fell today.
The ankle hurts a lot, Qiao Tathagata is used to wearing monk shoes, and she doesn't put on leggings when she is sick at home. The thin fabric scrapes and wraps it loosely, and it still feels hot to the touch.
It must be swollen.
Is it too late to call Xiuru back now?
Qiao Rulai's lack of energy and spirit was relieved after such a fall, suppressing the blood in her breath, bathing in the warm sunshine, unconsciously feeling sleepy.
People's tolerance to pain is always improving by leaps and bounds. As long as they don't move, it seems that they don't feel pain. He simply sits there and basks in the sun, really going with the situation.
Blindness not only makes people lose control of the road ahead, but also blurs the passage of time. As the footsteps approached, Qiao Tathagata blinked her dull eyes and subconsciously said, "Cultivating Confucianism? Come and help me."
The cool wind blew the deep and cold aloe, so pretty that she said to herself, "It's you."
The other party responded indifferently, proving their identity.
Of all the people, Qiao Tathagata is the least happy to see King Yan at the moment, but it is his senior brother who came here, and he is caught in the eyes of the other party who is in a mess, and he doesn't know what kind of ridicule he will reap.
Thinking about it this way, it would be nice to not be able to see people's expressions.Qiao Tathagata has a good temper, and she was prepared to be deliberately questioned, so of course she would not take it to heart.Yan Wang's face looked like a smile but not a smile, he was sleepy, and there was a deliberate sneer at the corners of his eyes and brows, which was really annoying.
Now that he couldn't see it, he was actually quite calm - as if a black-skinned radish was standing in front of him, how could people and radishes be angry?
"Brother, are you here to see a joke?" He said again.
Qiao Tathagata's voice is clear, transparent and soft, and it's still pleasant to hear even after recovering from a serious illness.He was originally worried, but when he thought about it, he was in an inexplicably good mood. The rare joy made the whole person feel a rare lightness. On the way King Yan came, he wondered whether this person would be depressed due to blindness. When he saw it, he felt weird in his heart. .
He looked Qiao Tathagata up and down, "Junior brother is blind, but he has a surprisingly good temper."
Qiao Rulai groped for the steps and wanted to get up, but when she moved her ankle a little, the pain and electricity rushed straight to her forehead, and she couldn't get up for a while.He had no choice but to turn to the source of the voice, "Brother, if he says he is here to visit a sick person, he will be considered astonishingly good-natured."
His face was pale, his legs were propped up, and his loose fingers trembled faintly. He was obviously very uncomfortable, and he still wanted to keep his face.King Yan saw it, and said in a business-like but warm tone: "Don't be so surprised, Junior Brother, I am really good-natured."
If it wasn't from the Mohist school, no one would doubt the teacher's concern, "Juzi is seriously injured, Shangxian Palace should send someone to take care of it, some Mohists are still in the future, and they can be dispatched at will after they have all the juniors."
Qiao Rulai refused, "I'm used to living alone, I don't need strangers to serve me."
"Today is different from the past, junior brother, don't be brave." Yan Wang said indifferently, "Blindness is not serious, and it is really inconvenient to live if you say it is not serious. It is difficult for you to live alone, let alone life."
Qiao Rulai was out of energy and had already started to feel drowsy. She just wanted to send his senior brother away quickly, and went back to the room after resting. Hearing this, he said casually: "Tori from the Cultivation of Confucianism Society is here to take care of it. My father and I met before. Very good countryman. I am not used to having strangers living in the house."
The silence made him puzzled, and he was still waiting for a slow sarcasm, but it turned out to be calm.He finally heard a laugh, and while his mind froze, he was still a little stable.
I am sick and confused.
Qiao Tathagata was meditating, and Yan Wang had already said slowly, "Is it enough to be familiar enough, Juzi?"
The last two words were accented, and he spoke very slowly. King Yan waited for the answer with great interest, but unfortunately his junior brother couldn't see his expression, and luckily he couldn't.
Qiao Rulai just wanted to slap her legs, but held back in mid-air.
He really set a trap for himself, and he drilled it tightly. If you want to say he is familiar, isn't this senior brother the closest?
However, King Yan would definitely not take care of it himself. He calmed down, stretched out his hand, and regained the previous happiness: "Why don't you help me up first, brother, and we can talk later?"
Yan Wang is a man, he does not talk about it, he is very serious about demeanor, he is meticulous in high crown and long clothes on weekdays, he has a stable preference for drinking tea and incense, and he has been south to the Central Plains for many years.Qiao Tathagata fell into a mess just now, her robe was stained with dirt, her palms were rubbed with mud, and while she was talking in boredom, she casually rubbed a mark on the hem of her clothes, paired with that handsome, dazed and intelligent face, the Yan Wang's eyelids twitched.
He sneered, "Do you know how dirty you are?"
Qiao Tathagata smiled when she heard the words, and her gentle tone even sounded a bit seductive, "Give me a hand, I don't look like sitting all the time, I just want to stand up and walk by myself. Brother always wears black clothes, and the cuffs are also complicated, You can't tell that it's dirty after a while—"
Stopped abruptly.
"It's still so heavy when you're sick." King Yan said impatiently.
"..." Qiao Rulai's planned words got stuck in her throat, and she said angrily, "Where is it sinking?"
King Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him, he wrapped his arms around his waist and his legs with one arm, just picked him up like this, and walked steadily into the house.
He put Qiao Tathagata down on the bed, glanced at the house, which he said was simple and shabby at best, but felt horrible, shook his head, and said casually, "Stick out your legs."
Qiao Rulai lowered her head, as if she didn't hear.Due to recuperation, her snow-white hair was untied, falling down on her thin shoulders, and part of her expression was covered by her temple hair.He seemed to have thought of something, licked his dry lips, pursed them and then relaxed, the floating red was faintly tinged with water.
King Yan had been staring at him patiently, but now he took half a step back, "Wait for me."
Qiao Tathagata still didn't respond, but when the Yan Wang Seeker took the wound medicine and walked back slowly, the junior brother at the bedside was already sitting upright.There was a towel in his hand, the palms and backs of his hands were white and clean, revealing two or three slightly swollen red marks, and the mud marks were completely gone.
"You twisted it yourself?" King Yan glanced at the paulownia frame in the corner of the room and the dots of water stains on the ground, "It's hard for you to jump back and forth on one leg, with your legs still stable."
Qiao Tathagata snorted, he was very calm, but unfortunately his ears were not as calm as the laughter, the tips of his tender ears clinging to the scarlet, and he fainted quite red with embarrassment.King Yan's thumb casually scratched it, causing the eyebrows of the two pretty Tathagatas to frown slightly, but they didn't say anything.
"Take off your shoes, sit in a little bit, put your legs up—what do you think, it's medicine."
"I didn't think about anything." Qiao Rulai retorted in a low voice, took off her shoes, fumbled to roll up one trouser leg, and asked, "Is it very swollen?"
King Yan said casually: "With a well-thought-out plan, one foot is empty, which is enough to make people wonder how impatient the younger brother is."
The actual situation is worse than what he said.Qiao Tathagata sat there stupidly, the wound was swollen, red and hot, the sharp cut off the skin was scratched by the heel, and the oozing blood had dried up.
King Yan twisted the towel again, and Qiao Rulai's leg twitched as soon as he wiped it off. After applying the medicine, he remained stiff.He didn't really have any idea at first, so he couldn't help but sneered when he saw this, he pinched a piece of Bai Yuxiao's calf, and checked the wound with his hands, just to make people hurt.
Qiao Rulai couldn't help frowning, let him pinch and rub, and only muttered when the person left, "It hurts."
"Would you like to go out by yourself if you know it hurts?" King Yan's voice was a little farther away, "The Confucianism cultivator should have kept you in the house, but in the end you have suffered an innocent disaster."
Most of the brothers and sisters meet, the wind blows you and the wind blows me again, playing machine fronts back and forth to keep three points, or simply have no time to chat, the intimacy is terrible, but it is definitely not friendly.The two of them got along peacefully in the past two years, and Qiao Rulai deeply felt that this was the result of her unilateral tolerance. Yan Wang's behavior and speech were extremely utilitarian, he was good at self-cultivation, he didn't want to care about it, he only chanted scriptures like a bastard, he didn't respond and didn't get angry .
The people who said it were less interesting, so naturally they stopped a lot, and they seemed to be very harmonious on the surface.
The Empress Huang, who watched the whole process of development, was very speechless. Every time she saw the two nephews chatting in the Shangxian Palace, the content was varied, harmonious and discordant, and the expression was always not so good-looking.Yan Wang glanced at her with a half-smile, Qiao Tathagata saluted her kindly, four large characters were written on her beautiful face—it was hard to describe—he just wanted to raise his gun and tell the pair of senior brothers to get out of her sight as soon as possible .
No one spoke in the room, only the slight sound of water, Qiao Rulai leaned against the bed frame, thinking that King Yan had just applied medicine for him, probably full of disgust at the fragrance of grass and trees in his hand, and suddenly smiled.
King Yan washed his hands patiently, and was wiping his fingers with a handkerchief, when he heard the voice, "What are you laughing at?"
"It's good to be invisible, and it's amazing to be served by someone." Qiao Tathagata turned her head to follow the voice, "Lord of Feather Kingdom, His Excellency King Yan, senior brother Shangguan Hongxin—do you think so?"
King Yan was silent for a while, and asked: "Blindness due to poisoning, why do you have to cover your eyes?"
Qiao Tathagata said seriously: "It's not easy to refuse a visit, it's more convenient to refuse customers if you wear it, don't you think it looks like you're blind and won't recover in a short time?"
Yan Wang didn't respond, probably because he thought the reason was ridiculous, the sound of small footsteps quickly disappeared, Qiao Rulai took off his coat in the dark, leaned on his arms and closed his eyes.
he's gone.
■
In the early morning of the next day, Qiao Tathagata, who was used to light sleep, woke up amidst a burst of noise.
He rubbed his eyes, the darkness didn't dissipate even half of it, and he put down his hands, as if he hadn't forgotten that he was completely blind at the moment.
"Junior brother, don't sleep for a while, I'm moving things outside."
The deep and clear male voice entered into the mind together with Chen Xiang, Qiao Rulai was not very happy to be woken up, and said: "I can't sleep with this posture."
Yan Wang said "Oh", turning a blind eye to the astonishment of the young Mohist's eyeballs in the room, he lifted the bed curtain, and mercilessly lifted Qiao Rulai's collar, "Wake up if you don't sleep, it's hard to watch you lie in bed and recuperate." I'm sick and confused." Without turning his head, he continued, "Serve Juzi to wash up."
Qiao Rulai waved his hand away, suppressed the anger that had just awakened, and straightened his clothes, "I'm not that useless."
He sat up straight, lowered his legs, and was taken aback for a moment.I don't know when the blanket covered with hard bricks and stones is extremely soft, and the soles of the feet that are scratched by stepping on it are faintly itchy, engulfed in the warmth of the fluff.
"Juzi, the water is coming." A strange female voice came from the restless young Mohist. She looked at Juzi with a worried face and King Yan next to him, and added in embarrassment, "Soon, Don't move."
"Excuse me." Qiao Tathagata responded mechanically.
He was about to spit out the water, and when something came, he stretched out his hand. After wiping his face, the towel was just put down, and he was picked up.He smelled a burst of fragrance, and said helplessly, "Do you want to put more fat on it?"
Yan Wang, who hadn't made a sound for a long time, said coolly: "Come in the wind and rain, I think the younger brother needs it."
Qiao Tathagata didn't hear it and only waved her hand.
Mo Zhe didn't insist, and got approval from Yan Wang's eyes, and retreated with relief.
Xiuru sorted out some old clothes for Qiao Tathagata early in the morning, dragged three or two suitcases and placed them at the foot of the bed, using different keys to differentiate their uses.Qiao Rulai fumbled for the shape of the key to open the box, picked up both sides at random and got up to wear it.
There is no need for neat shorts at home, and Qiao Rulai originally intended to shorten her long hair, which she had no time to trim when she went out, but Xiuru remembered it only after leaving, so she had to give up.He was blind, and the few old clothes selected by Xiuru had no complicated decorations. The buttons on the waist of the coat were tightly wrapped, and everything was safe and convenient.Qiao Rulai has a youthful face, she has faded in the past few years, but she still doesn't look old, her long hair is not tied up, and she looks younger than usual in old clothes.
Mo Zhe was moving his family outside, and occasional voices could be heard in the quiet room.Qiao Rulai put on her clothes calmly, and Xianxin Yanwang asked if it was neat, and when he got affirmation, he went back to the bed and fumbled, slowly but without impatience.He drew out a white silk ribbon from the quilt, smoothed out the creases and pasted it on his eyes, it was the same one from yesterday.
The blood-red coral pendant at the end of the silk belt flickered, rolled onto the shoulders, and rolled into the collar. The whole peaceful and white person had only this dazzling color, which made people reluctant to look away.
King Yan sat idle aside, watching him fiddle with for a long time to find a silk belt, and thought it was funny: "Are you happy to pretend?"
"Beware of any more ignorant visitors."
Hearing these words, the Central Plains people might be overwhelmed by the righteousness of the leader, and expressed their disappointment in the "you, you, you" for not giving their all to the Shi family.Even if the three sons of the Shi family seemed the most sexual, even if they smiled, they didn't necessarily take it seriously.
King Yan said lazily: "Junior Brother, I'm worrying too much. I'm here. There probably won't be any guests in Zhengqi Villa."
"Senior Brother said, thanks to the reputation of Senior Brother."
Qiao Tathagata said casually that her mind was all on the silk belt, and she turned around to compete after she finished speaking.A few days ago, it was done by Confucianism practitioners. At this time, he put the silk belt on his eyes, and the back of his head can no longer be covered, or the back of his head is fastened, and the broken hair that is close to the ear is loosened after flicking, which is really annoying. big.
Yan Wang stood up and stretched out his hand, Qiao Rulai turned his head in surprise: "What are you doing?"
"Don't move."
Pressing his shoulder with two fingers, Yan Wang was not strong, but he could not refuse. Qiao Tathagata could only lower her head slightly, and a fan-shaped shadow fell from her eyelashes, covering her dull and dull eyes.
King Yan made a gesture and posted it up, "Hold on, I'm about to tie it, so let me know if it's tight."
Qiao Rulai touched the ribbon, pressed the corners with both hands, blinked subconsciously, the eyelashes scraped against the smooth fabric, and made a slight rustling sound, which was very clear mixed with the steady breathing of the two of them.
From a certain point of view, incense is not a good habit. There are always subtle residues between the fingertips in the hair, and it is easy for people to catch traces when hiding the figure.At this moment King Yan stood in front of him, the not-so-strong fragrance seemed to have taken shape, forming a cloud, wrapping tightly around his scattered thoughts, kneading slowly while flowing.
Qiao Tathagata was not at ease, "Are you alright?"
"Brother, don't worry."
Yan Wang loosely tied beautiful knots, hooked out the sideburns that were suppressed on both sides, and pinched Qiao Tathagata's thin red ears.After combing the white hair casually, I tied it up carefully, just to cover those beautiful eyes, "Isn't it good?"
It's a pity that I can't see it.
It's a pity that too many people see it.
King Yan looked at his junior brother with his hands behind his back.
Qiao Tathagata adjusted the position of the silk belt, pushed aside the pendant that had fallen into the collar, and brushed all the white hair back to the shoulders, and patted the sleeves leisurely, showing no concealment for the delay of time.
"Go out to the town to eat something, stay in the room and only drink medicine for a day, you choose one."
"Eat and eat." Qiao Rulai sighed, "Where are my shoes?"
"On the left side..." King Yan saw him sit down angrily and paused, then asked suspiciously, "The injury is really on the eye, isn't it somewhere else?"
"I'm blind and my feet hurt. It's so convenient." Qiao Rulai replied briefly.
He hooked his fingers to the shoes, and put them on with his left and right legs stretched out, not cramped at all.The lacing was a bit troublesome, it came loose twice when it was tightened, it was because there were too many left, he didn't care whether the shoes looked good or not, he didn't hear the Yan Wang's voice when he got up, he couldn't help wondering: "Where is the person?"
Yan Dynasty stuffed a wet towel in his hand, and he was very disgusted, "We are going to eat, you wipe it off."
Qiao Tathagata wiped her palms perfunctorily, and handed it back to King Yan, who didn't have much to say, so she said, "Let's go?"
In the past two days, being helped out of the habit by Confucianism, he stretched out his hand, and at first he didn't feel wrong.Yan Wang took it, he did, he wouldn't walk slowly with his arm like Xiuru, he just grabbed his wrist and took it out.
Qiao Rulai almost stepped on the hem of her clothes, and couldn't help but said, "Your Excellency King Yan, I can't see the way."
King Yan stopped quickly, but he didn't let go, with a smile in his eyes, "It's the steps you fell yesterday, do you want me to hug you?"
"...Don't bother senior brother." Qiao Rulai leaned down step by step, patting her chest as she walked.
"Do you suffer from internal injuries?"
"Fortunately."
Yan Wang walked a little slower next.
The wound medicine of the Mo family is very effective, and the ankle is actually not hurting much. There are not many opportunities for King Yan to stay by his side honestly.
The hand clasping the wrist grabbed his at some point, Qiao Rulai thought about it, but she didn't break free.

It's not that Qiao Tathagata has never lived with King Yan.
The meaning of this residence is quite broad, two rooms are residences, and one is also a residence, and the word "congquan" cannot be escaped.It is common for couples to have an affair overnight, and it is not uncommon for a few days later to speak sharply and stab someone with a knife. No wonder Empress Huang finds it difficult to explain when seeing a pair of nephews and nephews appearing at the same time.
Mo Zhe came and went in Zhengqi Villa these days, Qiao Rulai looked as usual, it seemed that he was not the one who said that he was not used to strangers, anyway, the person who came to take care of him with a smile did not appear again.
Juzi has been in the job for many years, and it is the first time that Qiao Rulai feels that being a high-level person is not bad.
The free labor force helps furnish this shabby house, and he does not have to pay for the household expenses himself. He just opens his mouth for food, stretches out his hands for clothes, sits on the long couch and recites scriptures. back to the room.He didn't have much else to do--what quiet recreation doesn't require eyes?The Mohist who served nearby chose a lot of travel notes, and read them to pass the time with him.
Qiao Tathagata felt drowsy when she heard it, and asked casually, "Is King Yan here these days?"
"Moved today."
Mo Zhe's answer made him stunned, "Can the guest room in the back be used if no one has been there for a long time?"
"It's the east wing of your courtyard. Please wait a moment, Juzi." Mo Zhe saw that the cup of tea had run out, and the teapot was empty. He went out to make new tea, and then he came back and said, "Cleaning and changing the household in these two days, otherwise Mr. If you don’t want to live in it, it’s better to tear it down and rebuild it after saying it a few times…”
Arrangement of Juzi's ancestral house, although it is a paraphrase, the voice of the young Mohist is still low, inevitably a bit cramped.
It is a fact that Zhengqi Villa is desolate, but Qiao Tathagata didn't take it seriously, and said softly: "I don't care about my home, the old house is in a period of renovation, you're laughing at me."
A stone fell from Mo Zhe's heart, and he said: "Recently, the garden of the house will be repaired. The master said that the trees and flowers should be prepared to see what will happen in spring, so there may be some movement occasionally. Juzi has never slept well..."
"The dose of tranquilizing medicine should be higher."
"It's three-point medicine." Mo Zhe was a little worried, and Qiao Tathagata smiled and let him go down.
He tried to imagine the brand-new Zhengqi Villa, but found that he couldn't quite imagine it.
At the beginning of the memory, the ancestral house is a half-old appearance, empty and deserted, except for the old servants who have passed away for many years.The father was away, and living in the huge mansion could be called a lonely family. It was a pity to imagine the prosperity when it was completed.
Will the eyes heal when spring comes?
Or do you want to get used to exploring the way with bamboo branches, step by step, and walk carefully throughout your life?
Qiao Tathagata took a deep breath, her chest heaved and repeated several times, and there was always a feeling of anxiety in her heart that she couldn't hold down.
He closed his eyes, his brows were filled with indelible gloom, his long snow-white hair made his complexion even worse, almost a little more serious, and the sunlight that shone on his face also cooled down.
King Yan walked up with his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows when he saw this, thinking that he had read it wrong.
Qiao Rulai heard the noise and quickly recovered, and smiled nonchalantly, "Brother, do you play chess? The things are on the side bracket, if you want, please ask brother to get them."
There are a lot of boring things piled up on the side brackets, and the chessboard is definitely one of the most uninteresting items.It is impossible to collect dust in just a few days, and there is no need for it. Seeing that the position is not very neat, King Yan asked curiously: "Did you play chess with the lower class these few days?"
"Just ask them to play according to the chess record." Qiao Rulai raised her face, lacking in interest, "I'm not very good at first, so I don't want to make people laugh. There are voices in the room, and I feel more comfortable."
"Be more comfortable? Isn't junior brother not used to interacting with strangers?"
"I lied to senior brother, will senior brother really believe it?" Qiao Tathagata was calm and calm, and replied in a calm manner, "Don't talk too much, will you come?"
"It's still the same, you hold the ink." King Yan moved the chessboard, and pushed the chess cup over habitually, but it was returned as a matter of course.
Qiao Rulai's fair-skinned fingers pressed against the back of his hand, and it felt slightly cool to the touch. With a little more force, the pressed nails slightly changed color.His pale face was covered with the warmth of the sun, and his illness was relieved. He raised his chin slightly, and his graceful lines were hidden in the loose collar all the way. "I can't see, of course I have to trouble my brother."
King Yan laughed, "I forgot."
There are many talented historians, and the handsome one is especially glamorous, otherwise he would not have gotten such a deceptive title when he first stepped into the rivers and lakes. Some people always thought that his temperament was just like his appearance, and his appearance was like a good girl, weak and slender.At the beginning, Yan Wang only felt that this junior brother was still young, and he was in such a precarious situation, so his harsh words were quite powerful.
Born in the court, he is used to seeing beauties, no matter how beautiful they are, they are still beautiful, he is only curious about the gentle sharpness that pierces the eyebrows, even if there is a real shape, it will go straight to the heart.
As the years get older, the pretty Tathagata is like polished and transparent jade, warm and radiant, making people feel close to each other unconsciously.His identity is there, and those who need to worry are also there. There are only a few people around him, and there are not many times when he really laughs.
Emotions can be used as a protective color, and can be tempered as a weapon to the outside world. There is no doubt that letting the mind and self-destruction.King Yan knew this best, so he was surprised when he saw Qiao Tathagata with sprained feet—his junior brother really showed a good temper.
A little bit less scruples, worry and joy are on the face, people are not so tense, and their actions are much more casual.
No matter how powerful Ren Yanwang was, he still couldn't get into the heart of his junior brother. Through his eyes, he looked at his delicate skin and saw a tall and straight black-skinned carrot.
After cleaning up, King Yan said regretfully, "I'm not interested in you doing this."
Qiao Rulai stretched her legs, sat on the couch, and moved to the corner, with the soft cushion on her vest.King Yan had no doubts that his junior brother's real intention was to lie down, and the fact was almost the same, he raised his hand, hugged the cushion and closed his eyes.
Black and white are all in the hands of King Yan, he not only has to report the move, but also acts on behalf of the beautiful Tathagata, which is indeed very boring.
Qiao Tathagata was not yet full of energy, he leaned sideways, and was already getting sleepy, after two or three rounds, he was thinking too much and began to faint, gradually procrastinating for longer and longer.His chess skills are considered to be above-average, he was busy running around and didn't care to study, he was actually worse than King Goose. Fortunately, they didn't ask for any life or death game.It was dark before Qiao Rulai's eyes, and all kinds of sounds gradually became blurred. Once King Yan reported that he had fallen asleep three times and didn't hear a response, he knew he was really asleep.
A person with long hands and long legs, sleeping curled up in a corner doesn't look like a good person, King Yan got up and stared at him for a while, frowned and pushed the small table away, regardless of whether it would wake him up, he took him into his arms The upholstery is set aside.
Qiao Tathagata was as conscious as he thought, without opening her eyes, she groped for the cushion and fell down, this time it was much more comfortable.
He didn't sleep for long.Three meals a day, according to the doctor's order of Xiu Confucianism, the bitter medicine is fixed at a fixed time.There is also a notice first, and the porridge and side dishes brought by the Mozhe will be dealt with first.
Qiao Tathagata held the bowl obediently, but ate slowly, looking very uncomfortable. After a while, she put down her chopsticks and only ate half of it. After drinking the medicine, she was full of bitterness, and finally lost her appetite.He drank tea silently, feeling relieved that there was only three points left in the bitterness.
It's been almost half a month since I've been in a coma and drank this medicine...
Not recovered at all.
The weather is getting warmer, and I don't know what the Mohist has changed in the room, but it is still warm.There is a faint scent of agarwood floating in the air, I don't know if it is the incense from incense, or it is left by King Yan.He took off the slippery silk belt he slept on, combed his long hair absently, and suddenly caught a movement that didn't belong to him.
Very light, very light, the sound of paper flipping.
"Brother is still here." Qiao Rulai was a little surprised, "What are you looking at?"
"Journey to the middle of Shu."
Yan Wang's voice was clear, but he was not on the opposite side. Qiao Tathagata felt inexplicably lost. She sat up quietly for a while, stepped on her shoes and stood up.
"Want to go out?" King Yan raised his eyes, but Qiao Rulai waved his hand.
The other breath in the room was shallow and peaceful. He pursed his lips, listened carefully, and took hesitant steps without pinching the bamboo stick beside him.
What is it like to be born whole and suddenly blind?
King Yan thought for the first time, and found a long-lost uneasiness and anxiety floating in his heart.
It is a habit to grasp everything that can be mastered, but there is something wrong with the body, and blame has no effect.Reason can make the face look peaceful, but the heart can say nothing.
Before he hit the corner of the desk, King Yan said, "Take three steps to the left, or you will hit the desk."
Qiao Rulai touched the hard wood, "Originally here - just in the corner, I accidentally split a piece... did you change the table?"
Yan Wang mocked: "Do you need me to express my straightforward contempt for the young master of Zhengqi Villa from the house to the interior?"
Qiao Rulai still wanted to talk, but accidentally rolled up the tea with his sleeves and wet his hands. Fortunately, it was cold tea, not hot, and the tea was astringent, but the dank chill inexplicably chilled his heart.He didn't care about Yan Wang frowning, he just wiped the sleeve on the other side casually, and groped for Yan Wang, "Where's your face?"
"...Here." King Yan struggled to get his wet fingers out of his neck, and moved them up, rarely feeling uncomfortable.
Qiao Rulai stood very close, lowered her head, and held his face with both hands, as if treating him as a decoration in the room.
This is a scrutinizing gesture, but unfortunately those shallow eyes are lifeless, using hands as eyes, engraving the clear outline of the person in front of him into the gloomy field of vision.
Qiao Rulai touched his back ears from his face, wandering back and forth like lingering, the inexplicable and displeasure of Yan Wang at the beginning was dispelled by him, and he narrowed his pure golden eyes, wanting to see what he was going to do.
They were too close, the simplicity of the saponin on Qiao Rulai's body was suppressed by the agarwood, and the long snow-white hair slipped between the fingers on the overlapping side of King Yan, itching and cold, ambiguous and indifferent.
He has been sitting in an even and stable position, neither speaking nor moving, until Qiao Rulai put down his hand, suddenly clasped his back waist and pressed him against his leg.
"What does Juzi want to do?" King Yan asked softly.
Warm breath slid over her neck, Qiao Rulai lowered her eyes, shadows fell on her blushing face, the tips of her ears were red and hot, being carelessly rubbed by two cool fingers, her whole body went limp.
He was silent for a while, then honestly climbed onto King Yan's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "I didn't really want to do anything at first, but I thought it was boring to be alone, so it's better to get closer to people..."
King Yan understood, "Anyway, I think about it now."
Qiao Tathagata really wanted to give him a white look, King Yan knew it well, and couldn't help laughing.
The Mohist sent a message, Juzi was seriously injured, and the poison came out halfway, it took a lot of effort to control the Confucianism, it probably hurt the root, recently he had to rest his mind and replenish his energy, and then make plans for the remaining poison.It is a luxury for Qiao Rulai to recuperate from illness, but blindness forced him to stop and return to his ancestral home like an inn.
Qiaorulai's clothes are easy to wear, and King Yan quickly opened them, revealing the soft chest and belly of the prickly hedgehog, flinching a little, his white chest undulating slightly, and he looks much thinner than before.His face was flushed, his thin lips were slightly parted, and a small section of bright red tongue in the shadow seemed to be tempting someone to kiss.
Yan Wang caressed his slightly blood-stained lips, and said softly: "Remind Juzi, it is daytime, the sky is just right, and there are about two hours before sunset." Slender fingers slipped into the mouth, and pressed the soft tongue , "Juzi is very energetic today, why don't you come by yourself?"
King Yan suddenly loosened his embrace, and grabbed Qiao Rulai's arm to hold his hand.Qiao Rulai gasped, with no support in his lower back, he could only hold onto King Yan, his fragility was in the hands of the other party, he was beaten viciously by him a few times, he was so cramped that he became so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Desire cannot be faked, the corners of his eyes were red, his breathing was short of breath, and he was emotionally moved faster than usual.
King Yan smiled and said, "Actually, now is no different from night to you, and I think it's even better?"
