Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

Zhang Chi shook his head: "How is that possible? In the Northwest Army alone, tens of thousands of soldiers die in battle every year. All I can remember are those who are more familiar with me."

"But...wouldn't it be sad to think about the dead all day long?" Mu Liuyun always felt that Zhang Chi was usually a cheerful-looking person.

"Of course not. Even if I remember them, what I recall are the happy memories of fighting side by side, not the sadness of never being able to see each other again." Zhang Chi smiled cheerfully and said, "In addition to remembering to give Apart from burning some paper, I will not think about the people who have left all day long. After all, the dead are dead, and the living still have their own lives to live. Road, maybe one day we will meet again at another intersection, if you are immersed in the pain of separation all day long and can no longer see the beautiful scenery along the road, it is not worth it."

Mu Liuyun just smiled: "I never imagined that you could see matters of life and death so thoroughly at such a young age."

"I'm used to it. On the battlefield, how can there be so many sorrows and sorrows." Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Mu Liuyun didn't continue this topic anymore, he felt that no matter what reason Zhang Chi hid some things from him, at least Zhang Chi was indeed a member of the army, and he was also a person who valued love and righteousness, a friend worth making, Just knowing this is enough.

Zhang Chi chose a small restaurant, but it is said that the food is delicious. Tonight, the restaurant was also overcrowded. When he approached the door, Zhang Chi heard a loud voice that obviously had too much to drink. Talk nonsense.

"Have you ever seen that Mu Liuyun's appearance? The skin is so tender that you can squeeze water out of it. How can he look like a man? Let me see, he is a rabbit if he doesn't keep it all right. Let me tell you, my friend’s friend is working in the guest room of Dongyuan in Jinghong Mountain Villa. Every day, I see him going out with a handsome young man. The two of them are still locked in the same room at night. I don’t know what they are doing. What, sometimes I don’t come out in the middle of the night, tsk tsk tsk... This Taoist priest of the Shangqing Palace seems to be aloof, and he doesn’t know what Sao Lang is like behind his back.”

His words elicited a burst of wretched laughter and some more voluptuous conjectures. Mu Liuyun looked at Zhang Chi suspiciously, and was about to ask what they were talking about, when he saw Zhang Chi's eyes seemed to kill someone. Jianbu rushed into the door, shouting: "Which mad dog is talking nonsense here?!"

The restaurant was suddenly quiet for a moment, and when they saw Mu Liuyun at the door, they became chaotic again, pointing and pointing at each other.

"I didn't say anything, it wasn't me!"

"I didn't listen to the foul language of these people, it was him! He said it just now, and he laughed too!"

"What's none of my business? I laughed because I thought this statement was too ridiculous, and I didn't believe this kind of pretentious nonsense!"

"It's him! It's him talking nonsense!"

"That's right, that's right, he's the one who first said that Taoist Mu Liuyun is 'Master Rabbit'."

In the end, most people pointed their fingers at the person who had the loudest voice just now.

Both Mu Liuyun and Zhang Chi knew this person, and it was Yan Laosi, the opponent Mu Liuyun met when he first came on stage. The quality is obviously not very good, so it's no wonder that after eating a few ounces of yellow soup, he slandered Mu Liuyun's reputation behind his back.

At this moment, Yan Laosi was mostly sober, and finally remembered how powerful Mu Liuyun is. Now he is not in the arena. Even if he is beaten to death with excuses, there is no reason for him. Thinking of this level, Yan The fourth child was shaking like he was sifting chaff, and said with a sneer, "I, I was just joking, I have no other intentions, please don't take it to heart..."

Before Mu Liuyun said anything, Zhang Chi had already picked up a stool, and slapped Yan Lao Si on the face with a slap, knocking out the tall and burly Yan Lao Si, Knocking over a table also caused exclamations from all around.

Yan Laosi groaned for a long time and couldn't get up, and he didn't dare to yell or resist. Zhang Chi behaved so viciously, and with Mu Liuyun, who was highly skilled in martial arts, watching by, none of the cronies around him dared to fight.

Zhang Chi was completely outraged. Even though Yan Laosi had been knocked to the ground, he still rushed forward, scolding and kicking Yan Laosi: "How can there be such a shameless person like you in the world?" You bastard! I'm not good at martial arts, if I can't beat Liuyun, I'll be a rogue, and I'll lose face and hold a grudge, and pour dirty water on people behind my back! Why don't you, a scum like you, hurry up and die!"

The people around could only stare dumbfounded at the bruised nose and swollen face of Yan Lao Si, begging for mercy repeatedly: "Forgive me, I don't dare to do it again! I was wrong, my mouth is cheap! I shouldn't be talking nonsense Ba Dao! Young life! Murder!"

No matter how much he screamed, Zhang Chi didn't intend to stop at all. On the contrary, the more Yan Lao Si howled, the harder he beat him. In the end, Mu Liuyun stepped forward to dissuade him: "Enough, it's better at this time. Don't kill anyone."

Zhang Chi still grabbed Yan Laosi's collar with one hand, and said angrily: "But this despicable villain slanders you so much, you can bear it, but I can't bear it!"

Mu Liuyun persuaded calmly: "You also know that he is just a despicable person, so why bother to dirty your hands for a despicable person."

"But..." Zhang Chi was still resentful, and Mu Liuyun shook his head indifferently, "The mouth grows on other people's faces. Even if we can control our eyes, we can't control how others chew their tongues behind their backs. The truth is that the clearer will be clearer." , rumors and so on are just fleeting after all, so don't take it to heart."

Mu Liuyun showed such a magnanimity that many people who were just following the trend and playing yellow accents secretly felt a little guilty, Zhang Chi snorted, and left the semi-conscious Yan Lao Si resentfully: "Forget it, we Let's go, I really lost my appetite."

When Zhang Chi was about to go out, Mu Liuyun asked, "By the way, what does Lord Rabbit mean?"

***

Hearing this question, Zhang Chi wished he could go back and beat that bastard Yan Laosi again.

Originally, Mu Liuyun had no idea about the relationship between a man and a man, nor did he have any likes or dislikes. God knows how much thought he spent, carefully looking for opportunities, trying to make Mu Liuyun accept "it's okay to be with a man" without any resistance. In order to find a way to let the other party accept themselves in the next step, and successfully rise from a friend to a lover.

But now, when everything is not yet in sight, the plan has almost been messed up by Yan Laosi.

I'm afraid that in Mu Liuyun's mind, the impression that "two men who have an affair will be gossiped about" will be difficult to reverse in the future.

Moreover, Mu Liuyun wanted to chase after him and ask what "Master Rabbit" meant, how could he explain this?

"It's nothing interesting." Zhang Chi said in a disturbed mind, "It's just a dirty word from a despicable villain, what do you care about it?"

"I'm just curious. Is this some serious curse?" Mu Liuyun looked at him in confusion, "I've never seen you so angry."

"No!" Zhang Chi suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot, but he didn't know how to resolve the embarrassing situation in front of him, "Really not, this is not a curse word, at most it is...gossip or something like that. "

"Gossip... what exactly does that mean?" Mu Liuyun was even more confused, he couldn't figure it out, if the words were just gossip, why did Zhang Chi get so angry?

"Don't ask, okay..." Zhang Chi was very entangled, how could he explain the matter to this point?

You can't tell nonsense with your eyes open, saying that Yan Lao Si is actually praising him, and those laughing sounds are all because of admiration and envy.But if it is said that this is a curse, it is tantamount to telling Mu Liuyun clearly - "Yes, it is embarrassing for two men to have an affair."

Seeing that he really didn't want to talk about it, Mu Liuyun didn't force it: "I'll ask someone else later."

"You can't even ask others!" Zhang Chi was very depressed, "Why do you have to ask the bottom line?"

"When I was in Shangqing Palace, I seldom heard scolding. If I didn't know about it, I'm afraid I won't know when I was scolded in the future."

Although Mu Liuyun didn't know exactly what "Rabbit Master" meant, he could still hear what the other party wanted to insult from Yan Laosi's words. Second, he and Zhang Chi got too close, but he couldn't figure it out even more. Even if he called Zhang Chi to his room every night and taught him how to read and write, sometimes he would have a good chat with Zhang Chi. We left late and didn't bother anyone else, so what's wrong with it?

Zhang Chi gritted his teeth and went all out. If he waited for Mu Liuyun to ask others, he was afraid that things would become more uncontrollable. He said with a face of resignation: "Okay, let me tell you, don't be angry. Master Rabbit refers to male prostitutes, you are upright A famous hero, he called you a prostitute, of course I couldn't be more angry."

Mu Liuyun understood Yan Laosi's insult, but he couldn't understand: "How can a man be a prostitute? Isn't this obviously nonsense?"

"I can't go into too much detail about this kind of thing..." Zhang Chi turned his head away in embarrassment, and his face blushed uncontrollably, "In short, you know that men can do that kind of thing too."

"...Oh." Seeing Zhang Chi's embarrassment, Mu Liuyun suppressed his curiosity and stopped asking, but Zhang Chi continued to explain in an unnecessary way: "But don't get me wrong, even if there are really two men together , It’s not a shameful thing. In fact, this is no different from the relationship between men and women, just like some men and women couples are loving and harmonious, some men and women are just the relationship between prostitutes and prostitutes, and some men and women are immoral and incest. I despise it, if the latter two will be gossiped behind, the former is nothing to criticize. Some people are so omniscient in splashing dirty water, and they are full of shameless and dirty things in their minds Things, foul language comes out of your mouth, you don't have to take their bullshit seriously at all, if you take it seriously, you lose."

Mu Liuyun nodded to show that he understood, and didn't say anything more.

He faintly felt that Zhang Chi's attitude seemed a little unusual, combined with the subversive cognition about the relationship between men and men that he had just obtained, a vague guess flashed through his mind.

But he still pushed this idea out of his mind, he didn't want to judge others with the dirty thoughts similar to Yan Laosi, insulting a pure friendship for nothing.
