Cloud of the Qing Dynasty

Mu Liuyun caught up with Dr. Yang who hadn't gone far, and asked him to go back to show Zhang Chi's injuries. Dr. Yang looked at the unconscious Zhang Chi, and asked in confusion, "It's only been a while, what happened to him?"

The muscles on Mu Liuyun's cheeks twitched unnaturally, and he instinctively didn't tell others about Zhang Chi's abnormal behavior just now, but just said: "I accidentally... pushed him."

"Oh, how can you treat a patient like this? Even if you are angry, you can't get angry at this time." Doctor Yang shook his head and rebuked Mu Liuyun, while re-treating the cracked wound on Zhang Chi's back.

Facing such accusations, Mu Liuyun could only respond with silence.

***

When Zhang Chi woke up again, Mu Liuyun was no longer there, and he could only look at the empty room with a sense of loss.

After a while, a little Taoist priest from Shangqing Palace brought him dinner. Zhang Chi carefully asked about Mu Liuyun's whereabouts.

Going up and down the mountain to do errands at this juncture, Mu Liuyun probably doesn't want to see him anymore, Zhang Chi thought sadly.

But this is also good, you can completely cut off your thoughts.

Zhang Chi knows that people in the Jianghu place the most importance on loyalty, and they are very particular about repaying kindness. Mu Liuyun, a master who just defeated Qin Wuqi in the martial arts conference, is of great importance to Shangqing Palace. He is to protect Mu Liuyun Yuncai was disabled by poisoning, Shangqing Palace is such a decent family, needless to say, he will be responsible for taking care of him for the rest of his life, so as not to leave a bad reputation of ungrateful in the world.

But Zhang Chi has already made up his mind, and he will leave here when his injuries get better.

It's fine to go anywhere in the world, but he can't stay in Shangqing Palace, so close to Mu Liuyun.

He was afraid that he would develop resentment in the day after day of depression and powerlessness in the years of disability, and he was even more afraid that he would not give up and try every means to get close to Mu Liuyun.

As long as he has the heart, in fact, he can also use some scheming and some not very upright methods to make Mu Liuyun stay with him out of guilt and sympathy. He can completely say: "Look at how much I have paid for you!" You will be responsible to me for the price."

But guilt and sympathy are exactly what he can't bear the most.

If he doesn't have the chance to become the person standing shoulder to shoulder with Mu Liuyun, then at least he can't become a burden that drags him down, a burden that hangs on him. What Zhang Chi has always wanted is recognition and appreciation, and Not guilt and sympathy.

If you can't get the love of the other party, at least don't humblely ask the other party for mercy.

***

For many days after that, Mu Liuyun did not appear again.

Every day, junior disciples from the Shangqing Palace took turns to take care of him, bring him meals, and help him make medicine. Judging from their tone, Mu Liuyun did not tell others what happened that day, and kept avoiding him. There seems to be a reason.

Many family members of Shangqing Palace live in Qingyun Town at the foot of Huashan Mountain, and the Red Lotus Sect recently sent people to infiltrate Qingyun Town, intending to kidnap the family members of Shangqing Palace. The masters in the Qing palace have been on duty day and night in the town, and have repelled several waves of assassins, and they can't get away at all.

But Zhang Chi could only sit on the bed bored, staring at a spider spinning a web on the window for a long time in a daze.

He kissed Mu Liuyun forcibly at the beginning, just to cut off his own way out, and he had already made the mental preparation that Mu Liuyun would never talk to him or forgive him again, but he couldn't eat or sleep for the past few days No, it was like a fire was burning in his heart all the time, making him restless.

Even the doctor could see that he was depressed, and warned him that if he continued like this, it would be bad for his recovery. Zhang Chi promised to eat and rest well, but he knew in his heart that he might not be able to do it. I have reached the "calmness" requested by the doctor.

The spider on the window worked hard to pull out the eight-strand thread between the eaves and the window lattice, and weaved an exquisite cobweb round and round along the thread. Zhang Chi silently counted how many times it wove in total, so as not to be too idle and old I can't help but think about the things that make me feel depressed.

The spider finally made its web, sat firmly in the middle of the web and waited for the prey to come to the door. As a result, a broom stretched out and dusted off the spider and the web at once.

Zhang Chi sighed inaudibly.

"What's the matter, I'm sighing." Qingliu walked in with a chessboard under his arm and a broom.

"Qingliu, why is it you?" Zhang Chi was a little surprised. According to the rules of the Shangqing Palace, a long-standing disciple like Qingliu should focus on martial arts and not need to do such chores.

"It was supposed to be the younger brothers who came to take care of you. I thought I hadn't seen you for a few days. Grand Master Tianxuan went down to work again. You live alone in this deserted Qingfeng Pavilion, and you have to be bored for a long time. Mushrooms came out? So I came to talk to you, and play two games of chess to relieve boredom." Qingliu sat down beside him, "How is it, are you feeling better?"

Zhang Chi smiled wryly: "What else can I do, that's all I'm going to do."

"It seems that you are really bored. Is it too deserted to live here?" Qingliu put the chessboard in front of the bed and began to place the chess pieces. "If you really don't like this place, I can tell the master about it." , Let you move down the mountain. In fact, Grand Master Tianxuan also had good intentions. Doctor Yang said that your illness needs to be rested. It is clean and suitable for you to recuperate from illness. In fact, everyone was quite surprised at the time, because Uncle Taishi was not close to anyone, let alone offered to let people live next door to him. He really treated you better than anyone else. "

Zhang Chi felt bitter, forced a smile and said, "Let's not talk about that, let's play chess."

"Okay, I'll come first." Qing Liu made a gesture first.

"My hands are not flexible, let me tell you, you can help me make a move." Zhang Chi said, "Seven to one."

Qingliu grabbed his hand and stuffed the pawn into his hand: "You do it yourself, it doesn't matter if you do it crookedly, you can't get out of bed and walk around now, it's good to practice your hands first, the doctor said, practice more Get better sooner."

"Get better soon?" Zhang Chi wasn't quite sure what Qingliu said, "Is it possible for me to get better?"

"Of course." Qingliu looked at Zhang Chi in surprise, "Did someone tell you that you won't get better? Who has such a cheap mouth, tell me, and I will beat him for you."

Zhang Chi's heart was beating wildly, and he was deeply afraid that this was just an empty joy, so he couldn't believe it even more: "Don't tease me, I know I'm suffering from 'Cross Bone Powder', as long as it takes one hour If we don’t take the antidote, we will be crippled for life, and the place where we were attacked is at least two or three hours away from the Shangqing Palace, not to mention the ambush soldiers of the Red Lotus Sect obstructing it, how could you possibly detoxify me in time?”

"Why did I lie to you?" Qingliu said, "At that time, Grand Master sealed off the acupuncture points around your body, delaying the time for the poisonous gas to penetrate into your bones, otherwise we would not be able to save you even if we could fly. After that, Grand Master became even more angry. Shenwei, one person blocked all the pursuers. Did you know that when our people rushed to reinforce, Grand Master Uncle had already killed more than a dozen assassins by himself, but he was only slightly injured. Everyone was stunned It's..."

"Is he injured?" Zhang Chi grabbed Qingliu's arm nervously, not even realizing that his control over his limbs had improved compared to the previous few days, "Where is his injury? Is it serious?"

"It's just that the skin on the leg is a little bit broken, which is far worse than yours. It doesn't delay at all. Now the whole town is chasing and killing the Red Lotus Sect assassin." Qing Liu patted the back of his hand soothingly and said, "At that time Seeing Uncle Grand Master block the pursuers, we will hurry to bring you back. Doctor Yang happened to have all the medicines here, so he started decocting the medicine without any delay. He said that if the delivery was half an hour late, you would be disabled for the rest of your life, so do you have to thank me? Although it is mainly due to Uncle Taishi, it was also very hard for me to run up the steps with you on my back Yes..."

Zhang Chi was completely stunned, and he didn't pay attention to what Qingliu said after that.

He probably figured out what was going on, but he must have not heard clearly that day. The doctor was probably telling Mu Liuyun that "if" he was delivered late, he would be disabled, and Mu Liuyun later said that he "will be fine." The" is not trying to comfort him, it's just telling the truth.

Zhang Chi hugged his head in frustration, what exactly did he do.

How stupid is he to think that, according to Mu Liuyun's temperament, he would comfort him with white lies?

How impulsive and reckless he was to drive Mu Liuyun away in such an extreme way?

For a moment he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

He is not disabled, he still has the opportunity to make contributions, he can continue to realize his ideals and aspirations, and his future has unlimited possibilities, instead of just lying on the bed every day and missing his once healthy body.

But does he still have a chance to restore his relationship with Mu Liuyun?

Thinking of how he actually forcibly kissed Mu Liuyun that day, Zhang Chi wished he could just buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.

If you lose a lot, if you lose, you die.

***

Knowing that Zhang Chi had always thought that he would be disabled for the past two days, Qing Liu comforted him with a suppressed smile, and then played chess with him all afternoon, chatting about many things.

For example, several grand master uncles have received his gifts and are very satisfied with his intentions.The identity of the assassin who blocked the way last time has been found out. The Red Lotus Sect was in a hurry this time and sent one of the four guardians to ambush them. As a result, several masters of the sect were defeated in vain, but nothing was gained.For another example, Sister Shangguanling finally convinced her father to formally join the sect of the Shangqing Palace, her dao name is Qingling, and several Taishi uncles appreciated her calm response that day, and they all thought that she might be a good talent .

Zhang Chi responded absent-mindedly. He sent the chess pieces to the door several times and let the opponent eat them in vain before he realized it.

After Qingliu left, Zhang Chi began to fidget. He hoped that Mu Liuyun would come back quickly to listen to his explanation, but also feared that he would not know how to explain when Mu Liuyun came back.

Amidst such uneasiness, his health improved day by day, and he could already get out of bed and walk around by himself.

When Mu Liuyun finally returned to Qingfeng Pavilion again, Zhang Chi was sitting on the chair at the door, weaving a cricket out of grass leaves, and his fingers were still a little inflexible. Let him recover faster.

Zhang Chi wandered far and wide and didn't know what he was thinking. It wasn't until Mu Liuyun got very close that he suddenly raised his head in shock, and looked at the person in front of him in disbelief: "Liu cloud?"

For a moment, Mu Liuyun didn't know how to respond, so he stopped uncomfortably.

Zhang Chi didn't have time to think about anything, so he stood up excitedly and went forward, but his body was still poisoned, and when he got excited, he tripped with his left foot and right foot, tripping himself.

It was Mu Liuyun who took a quick step forward and caught him in time.

Thus, Zhang Chi fell into Mu Liuyun's arms in a rather embarrassing posture.
