Looking for plums under the moon

"You..." Seeing his hand holding the bowl getting closer and closer, Ling Guyue quickly pushed him away, and said in a low voice, "I see..."

Walking to the table, he took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun on the plate, and said in surprise, "This..."

Seeing that his expression was different, Shen Luo asked, "What's wrong?"

Ling Guyue looked at the steamed stuffed bun stuffing, and said to herself: "Carrots, beef, morning dew flowers, mushrooms..."

Shen Luo smiled, "How did senior brother know?"

Ling Guyue looked at the steamed stuffed bun in her hands, and vaguely remembered that someone praised her skill in making steamed stuffed buns, "I remember someone told me..." After thinking about it, she couldn't remember anything.

Shen Luo rolled his eyes, "Brother, it will be cold later, eat quickly."

Ling Guyue simply stopped thinking about it, took a mouthful of porridge with a spoon, saw him staring at her, frowned and asked, "Have you eaten?"

Shen Luo shook his head.

Ling Guyue pushed the plate over, "Eat something."

Shen Luo didn't go to take the steaming buns on the plate, but lowered his head and took a sip of the porridge from the spoon in his hand, "Thank you, brother."

Ling Guyue looked at her hand that was frozen in mid-air, and immediately didn't know where to put it.

As if nothing had happened, Shen Luo took the spoon in his hand, took another mouthful of porridge and put it in his mouth, "Brother, open your mouth."

Ling Guyue opened her mouth in a strange way, and when she held the spoon in her mouth, she suddenly thought of what happened just now, and then hid back again.

"I'll do it myself..." Ling Guyue took another clean spoon from the food box and hurriedly finished the porridge.

Shen Luo didn't say anything else, he put away the dishes and said: "Brother, just now Qingzhu came to ask me when I'm going to Pingnan."

"Well," Ling Guyue looked at him, "You should go there."

"Brother, do you want me to come back as number one in the world?"

Ling Guyue said: "This is what Master wants to see."

"What about senior brother?" Shen Luo looked directly at him, "Does senior brother want me to go?"

Ling Guyue said: "Naturally hope, and Lin Jue is also in Pingnan now, he has obtained Nuanyanyu, and now he is coveting the Red Medicine King of Jiaochen Pavilion... He has hatred for you and me, if you practice If you become a martial artist, I am afraid that you will be a strong opponent for Pingchuan."

"Lin Jue?" Shen Luo sneered, "It's just a useless person."

Ling Guyue said solemnly: "I met a person when I went down the mountain. He told me that the combination of Nuanyanyu and a strange medicine can change people's physique and reshape their tendons. What's more, Lin Jue also has Hongying Shuang in his hand. The secret script left by Xia is really not to be underestimated."

Shen Luo said proudly: "Even if he reshaped the meridians, so what? If he is our enemy, I will abolish his martial arts so that he will never be able to set foot in the martial arts world again."

Ling Guyue saw that he said absolutely, she said helplessly: "It's up to you..."

Shen Luo thought for a while and said, "Could it be that senior brother wants to go to Pingnan?"

Ling Guyue still had one thing hanging in her heart. On that day in the prince's mansion, Prince Du said that there was a person beside him who was dying, and pointed at Shen Luo, and the opportunity to resolve it was Nuan Yanyu.

Right now, Lin Jue doesn't know if he has obtained the Red Medicine King from Jiaochen Pavilion, and the most urgent task is to find him as soon as possible to retrieve the Nuanyanyu.He nodded and said, "I want to go to Pingnan."

Shen Luo's eyes changed slightly, and he said, "If senior brother wants to go, it's not impossible..."

"What... do you have any conditions?" Ling Guyue sighed, she obviously wanted to help him, but she still had to compromise.

Shen Luo said: "I will go with senior brother, senior brother must promise not to leave me one foot away."

Ling Guyue thought about it, nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you, when will we leave?"

Shen Luo felt relieved, and said in a gentle voice: "No hurry, it's only ten days' journey from Pingchuan to Pingnan, and I haven't seen senior brother and I for a long time, so naturally we have to get closer these few days."

When Ling Guyue heard him say the word 'close', she took a step back, coughed and said, "How is your illness? Let me feel your pulse..."

"Take the pulse?" Shen Luo looked at him puzzled, and then said, "Brother, don't worry, I'm fine."

What Ling Guyue thought was that Prince Du had said that Nuan Yanyu could detoxify martial arts, and he suspected that Shen Luo had gone mad after practicing kung fu... and wanted to test his pulse.

Shen Luo reacted greatly, turned his hands behind his back and said, "Senior brother, I'm really fine."

Ling Guyue looked at him, "Since there is nothing wrong, why worry about me feeling your pulse?"

Shen Luo shook his head and said: "Why do you need to feel the pulse? Senior brother knows that I am not sick from the look on my face."

Ling Guyue wanted to say something, but she saw Shen Luo stepped forward and pushed him against the bedpost, her face getting closer and closer, "Senior brother, you care so much about me, I would think that senior brother treats me..."

Ling Guyue stared at him and said: "You are my junior, it is normal for me to care about you."

Shen Luo chuckled, "I don't believe it, brother lied to me..."

Ling Guyue knew that Shen Luozai was hiding something, but he was very vigilant, and it was impossible for him to beat him up and forcefully press him on the bed to feel his pulse, so he could only check when he was not paying attention.

In the evening, Shen Luo brought food, and the two of them ate together, Shen Luo said: "It's getting late, brother, rest early."

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Ling Guyue said, "I see, you can go."

Shen Luo looked at him, "Brother, I have been resting here when I was in Pingyi Peak."

"I remember that your bedroom is not in the secret room..."

Shen Luo said calmly: "The layout here is exactly the same as senior brother's bedroom, resting here is like sharing the same bed with senior brother."

Ling Guyue said: "You..."

Shen Luo nodded, "I sleep with senior brother."

Ling Guyue gave up on herself and said: "It's up to you..." Then she returned to the couch, closed her eyes and faced the wall, and ignored him,

After a while, the candle was blown out, the room was dark, and the crickets could be faintly heard from Pingyi Peak.

Ling Guyue felt that someone was lying down slowly against him, but did not make any sound, so she felt a little relieved.

Shen Luo sighed behind him.

Ling Guyue remained motionless, pretending not to hear, but listened to the voice behind: "Brother, do you remember when we were young? At that time, we slept in the same bed like this, and there was never any gap..."

Do you remember?Ling Guyue naturally remembered that those days ten years ago were his happiest time.At that time, the plum grove outside Shen Dongxie was as bright as red mist, Shen Luo was his well-behaved junior, and his master was still alive at that time.

He always thinks of ways not to go to Feiyefeng to practice, to escape to the forest to play, and to encourage Shen Luo to come together.When the master found out, both of them lowered their heads together and pretended to be extremely regretful...

On midsummer nights, I went to the Luoying Lake to catch fireflies. Sometimes my feet slipped and I just fell into the pool to take a bath. The two teenagers splashed water on each other, and agreed that whoever had the most wet hair would carry the other to Shendong. pavilion.But most of them are lost by Shen Luo, who always carry him back with a smile.

Before the age of 15, Ling Guyue was a full head shorter than Shen Luo. In order to show her status as a senior brother, Ling Guyue once got herself soaked, stood on the side of the road and patted her legs and said: " Brother, today brother will carry you!"

Shen Luo happily climbed onto his back.

Ling Guyue struggled to move her steps, and reluctantly said: "Brother, you are amazing!"

Shen Luo lay quietly on his back, his feet were almost touching the ground, but he still boasted: "Brother is very powerful, the most powerful."

Ling Guyue quickened her pace as soon as she was happy, but who knew that the mountain road was difficult to walk, she staggered and fell between the gravels, hurt her knee, and in the end, Shen Luo took him back to take the medicine...

"But now senior brother doesn't even want to look at me..."

Ling Guyue heard the grievance in his mouth and became silent.

"Brother, what should I do to bring us back to the past?"

Ling Guyue quietly opened her eyes in the dark, "Once upon a time? I thought you had forgotten the past. Let me ask you why you have changed so much after leaving the customs..." After saying it, I felt that I was in conflict with a child. Find a reason to explain the difference?It was really meaningless, so he covered his head under the quilt.

Shen Luo said: "It turns out that senior brother blamed me..."

"Not really."

Shen Luo caressed Ling Guyue's black hair that was scattered on the pillow, and pulled out a strand that was wrapped around her fingertips, and said lightly, "Senior Brother, you know... how much I missed Senior Brother in those three years..."

miss?Then why do you avoid yourself as soon as you leave the customs?

"Whenever I miss my senior brother, I draw pictures on the rock wall of the cave in the back mountain. The stone wall is very hard. I use the cold light sword to carve it stroke by stroke, for fear of drawing the wrong image of my senior brother... Three years later , the stone wall is already full of seniors, seniors who look like children, seniors who look like teenagers, and seniors who have grown up..."

Ling Guyue's ears twitched slightly, he had never been to the cave in the back mountain before, and when he wanted to go, his master had already ordered the cave to be sealed...

"I didn't expect three years to be so long. When I came out, my brother had become as tall as me, but he was still the same as before, so dazzling, so good-looking, no, it was even more beautiful... I was so thin at that time. With a handful of bones left, it's like a bamboo pole...how can I let my brother see me like that?"

Ling Guyue thought in her heart: This is not bad, I don't know if you are learning from the immortal Bigu in the cave, you only drink water and don't eat, how come the master didn't look thin?

"Later, my master asked me to move to Pingyi Peak to live with him. I also thought about my senior brother all the time. At that time, more and more people came to Pingchuan to ask for advice on martial arts. The look in my eyes. I was so angry that I went crazy... I told the senior brother not to come out again, but the senior brother lost his temper with me..."

Ling Guyue thought back to those years, and suddenly realized that she seemed to have misunderstood Shen Shen.

At that time, martial arts heroes came to Pingchuan to learn Pingchuan's mind, and the master asked them to make more friends, but Shen Luo asked him to go back to Shen Dongxie with a dark face.Ling Guyue thought that he was afraid that he would meet some great person who would threaten his position as the leader in the future.The two quarreled, and it took three months to reconcile...

"From then on, I vowed to practice hard." I gouged out the eyes of anyone who dared to look at senior brother again, and made his life worse than death if anyone wanted to harm senior brother... But he didn't say this, But put it in my heart.

Shen Luo said again: "Brother, I didn't mean to alienate you..."

Ling Guyue turned over and looked at him, "What else are you hiding from me?"

Shen Luo was wrapping around his hair, he didn't want him to turn around suddenly, was caught straight, and quickly let go of his hand, "No."

Ling Guyue stared at him, trying to see his guilty conscience, but Shen Luo was also fearless.The two stared at each other for a while, but Shen Luo still didn't explain the matter.

"Okay, stop thinking about it," Shen Luo tucked up the quilt for him, "Brother, go to bed early..."

Ling Guyue pretended to sleep with her eyes closed, but her heart was in a mess.

He heard the steady breathing of the person beside him, and opened his eyes in the dark.Quietly lifted the quilt on Shen Luo's body, reached in and held his hand.

When Shen Luo slept, he only wore obscene clothes and wrapped his wrists tightly.

Ling Guyue suddenly thought that even if he was usually dressed tightly, he would not show any more.

Ling Guyue folded his sleeves, and gently caught his pulse with two fingers.

When she touched his wrist for the first time, Ling Guyue suddenly became suspicious. Shen Luo's wrist was not delicate and smooth skin, but there seemed to be bumpy scars.He fumbled inward along the sleeve, and the scar on Shen's wrist extended all the way to his elbow.

Ling Guyue found his other hand, and saw the same thing on the other hand.You don't need to look to know that it is full of shocking scars.

Will sinking hurt?Who else could hurt him?Why doesn't he let me feel the pulse?

Ling Guyue took his pulse again, and saw that the pulse was stable, and there was no tendency to go crazy.

Withdrawing his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he thought again, what is Shen Luo hiding from himself?Does it have anything to do with Uncle Ge's departure?

Or... Shen Luo's heart was so dark that he could self-mutilate?

Ling Guyue thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a reason, she opened her eyes and didn't know when she couldn't bear the drowsiness and fell asleep...

The next day, when Ling Guyue woke up, Shen Luo was no longer in the secret room, only a slender candlelight was left in the room.

He got out of bed and looked around. The door of the secret room was close at hand, but the length of the iron chain was limited, so he could only reach the table and faintly see the darkness outside the door.

There is a pot of tea on the table, the tea is warm, and there are some tea leaves floating in it.

Ling Guyue poured a glass of water and drank it by herself. She had just drank a few glasses when she suddenly heard the sound of someone entering above her head.

Shen Luo is back?Ling Guyue frowned, but the voice was rustling, she didn't know what she was looking for, she almost turned the house over and over.

Ling Guyue walked gently to the sword stand, and silently pressed the Flowing Sword in her hand.

Finally, the man seemed to have discovered the secret of the bookshelf, removed the bookshelf, and entered the secret room.

Hearing the footsteps getting closer, Ling Guyue held her breath, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword became tighter and tighter.

At the same time, a figure flashed in, and after seeing Ling Guyue, he shouted in surprise: "Senior brother!"

"Xiao Chou? How did you get here?" Ling Guyue let go of her hand and let him throw herself on her.

Xiao Chou put his arms around his waist and said coquettishly: "I secretly followed those people in white clothes up, and no one noticed along the way..."

Ling Guyue patted his head, "They didn't make things difficult for you these two days, did they?"

Xiao Chou shook his head, "They took me to a hut in the bamboo forest, and people brought me food every day, but they just didn't let me see my brother..."

Ling Guyue said: "It's very dangerous here, you go to the town down the mountain and wait for me for a few days, and I'll go find you in a few days."

Xiao Chou said: "No! I don't worry about Senior Brother being here."

Ling Guyue smiled and said, "I'm fine."

"Senior brother lied to me..." Xiao Chou touched the iron chain on his wrist, and said sadly: "Senior brother is obviously under house arrest...I want to take senior brother out!"

Ling Guyue sighed: "This is the mysterious iron lock of Tianji, there is no way to unlock it except for a special key."

Xiao Chou said angrily, "Who has the key?"

Ling Guyue said: "Shen Luo."

"I'll ask him for it!" Xiao Chou was about to leave angrily.

"Come back..." Ling Guyue held him by the back of the collar helplessly, "If you go to him now, you will die if he moves your fingers..."

"Then...then what should I do?" Xiao Chou lowered his head, "Is there no other way to get the key..."

Ling Guyue hesitated: "Otherwise... I'll see if I can get the key."

Xiao Chou's eyes lit up, "Then I will take care of Senior Brother!"

"Okay, you go back first," Ling Guyue said, "wait for me in the cabin in the forest."

Xiao Chou said: "There is a room next door, there are many cabinets in it, why don't I just hide in the cabinets and wait for the senior brother to go together!"

Ling Guyue said: "No, if you make any noise, it will be bad if you are discovered."

Xiao Chou pursed her lips, "Okay then..."

Just as Xiao Chou was about to go out, there was another sound of footsteps.

The voice was light and slow, as if the owner was in a good mood.

Ling Guyue was familiar with the man's steps, frowned and said: "It's too late, he's back."

As if aware of the tense atmosphere, the candle flame danced, pulling out a slanted light and shadow, flickering in the dark secret room.
