Cold Sword Perched Peach Blossom

Xie Zhiyao didn't return to Xie's mansion, but went directly to Kunlun with Lu Er in his arms, and sent a letter to Lin Rufei when he left, in which he briefly explained that Lu Er was seriously injured and urgently needed medical treatment.

Lin Rufei was a little surprised after receiving the letter from Zhihe, and turned to look at Gu Xuandu: "How did you know something happened to Lu Er?"

Gu Xuandu said: "An ancient strange beast is carved into gold. Its shape is human-like, and its bones are so hard that it can be broken by thousands of blades."

Lin Rufei was stunned.

Gu Xuandu said again: "Because of their special characteristics, the gold-sharpening beasts were hunted down by the human race, and almost exterminated. Fortunately, they look like humans, learned human habits, and hid in the marketplace, barely maintaining the blood of the race." He sighed With a voice, "This is just the situation hundreds of years ago. Now that so long has passed, the gold sharpening beast is almost extinct. I didn't expect to see one in Xie's mansion." He saw Xie Zhiyao's waist At the moment when the side bone sword was drawn, he guessed everything.

Lin Rufei also understood the meaning of Gu Xuandu's words, the little servant's green ear was a strange beast grinding gold, and the bone sword in Xie Zhiyao's hand came from his body.

"The most precious thing in the body of the sharpening gold beast is the spine that runs through the whole body. This bone does not need to be tempered. It can be used as a sword when it is pulled out. The blade is as sharp as it can smash stars and mountains." Gu Xuandu was careless. Talking about other people's stories, "If Xie Zhiyao didn't have that sword, he would have died a long time ago."

Lin Rufei said: "The green ear lost its spine, but can it still survive?"

Gu Xuandu stared into Lin Rufei's eyes: "I can't."

Lin Rufei felt his throat choke. He remembered the gentleness in Xie Zhiyao's eyes when he talked about Lu Er. Maybe he didn't even notice it. but...

"I don't know what method the people over there used to hang Lu Er's life, but that boy won't live long." Gu Xuandu said, "Even if we invite the best doctor in the world, we can't save him. life." No living thing can live without a spine.

Lin Rufei said, "What should Xie Zhiyao do?"

"What should I do?" Gu Xuandu said flatly, "He got the position of Patriarch he wanted the most, and he also had the cultivation of the eighth realm, but he just lost a bad-mouthed boy. Isn't this a fortune? A satisfactory transaction?"

Lin Rufei frowned slightly when she heard Gu Xuandu's emotionless words.

"Don't you think so?" Gu Xuandu asked back.

"Of course I don't think so." Lin Rufei disagreed, "Lu Er has been with Xie Zhiyao for so many years, Xie Zhiyao must have some affection for him. Seeing that Lu Er is gone like this, he is afraid. Not having a good time."

Gu Xuandu's attitude seemed unusually indifferent. He didn't sit beside Lin Rufei as usual, but leaned on the beam, folded his hands on his chest, looked down at Lin Rufei with his chin slightly raised, and asked calmly: " If you were green ears, what would you do?"

Lin Rufei thought about it and said, "If I had green ears..."

"Enough." Before he finished speaking, he was coldly interrupted by Gu Xuandu. From Gu Xuandu to Lin Rufei's side, this senior who has never been serious has never shown such indifference or even coldness. look, he said, "I know how you would choose."

As soon as the words fell, the figure disappeared suddenly, leaving the room in silence.

Lin Rufei was at a loss, not understanding why these words touched Gu Xuandu's scales.

Without Gu Xuandu, the quietness of the room made people uncomfortable. After realizing her own thoughts, Lin Rufei showed a wry smile. Xin Taoist is really a greedy animal. It has only been a few days, and she has gotten used to Gu Xuandu. The existence of Xuandu.

Xie Zhiyao rushed to Kunlun day and night.

Wan Yao had picked up the paper crane before, knowing that Xie Zhiyao was coming, so he stayed early to meet him in front of the mountain gate.

"Put him down quickly." After seeing Lu Er, Wan Yao ordered Xie Zhiyao to put him on the prepared wooden bed, and raised his hand to feel Lu Er's pulse.

Xie Zhiyao stood aside, not daring to vent his breath, his eyes fixed on Lu Er, his chest heaving uncontrollably.

Wan Yao figured out Lu Er's physical condition, his expression gradually became serious, he took out a few silver needles from his bosom, and stuck them on Lu Er's body.Only then did Lu Er's face improve slightly, but his breath was still very weak.

"Go outside and talk?" Wan Yao said.

Xie Zhiyao nodded and was about to take a step when he heard Lu Er's weak cry, he said: "Master...don't...go..."

Xie Zhiyao leaned over and whispered: "Don't be afraid, you also know Wan Yao's medical skills, he must have a way to save you."

But Lu Er shook his head, and said with difficulty: "Just... let's talk about it here." He is dying, but he knows it very well in his heart, it is naturally the best to see the young master more.

"Okay, tell me." Xie Zhiyao held Lu Er's hand and looked up at Wan Yao.

Wan Yao hesitated for a while, but seeing Xie Zhiyao's firm expression, he sighed slightly and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid Lu Er is...to die."

Xie Zhiyao instantly became ferocious, and he said, "What did you say?!"

Wan Yao said: "His spine was pulled out alive, and it is already a miracle that he can live till now. If he is given acupuncture, it may last another day, but..."

Xie Zhiyao said: "Just?"

Wan Yao said: "It's just...he will be extremely painful."

The wound on his back couldn't heal, and Lu Er was in extreme pain all the time. He was so weak that he could only lie on his stomach at this moment, and he couldn't even turn over, otherwise he would touch the wound.

After listening to Wan Yao's words, Xie Zhiyao's Adam's apple moved up and down, as if he was suppressing some emotion. Lu Er sensed his thoughts, and the hand held by him pulled back slightly, and said with a forced smile: "It's okay...can you come back again?" One day with the young master is enough."

Xie Zhiyao didn't speak, he understood everything thoroughly, he lowered his head and stared at the unstoppable white bone sword hanging from his waist for a long time, in his black eyes, a manic storm was quietly brewing.

With a weak call from Lu Er, Xie Zhiyao was pulled out of this emotion, and he responded to his call: "Lu Er."

Lu Er looked gentle: "Lu Er is here."

Xie Zhiyao said, "Who did it?"

Green ears are silent.

"Tell me, who did it." Xie Zhiyao asked each word, "Who pulled out your spine alive, who is it?"

Lu Er looked back at Xie Zhiyao calmly, wriggling his lips with difficulty, and gave Xie Zhiyao the answer he least wanted to hear: "Lu Er did it."

Xie Zhiyao trembled all over.

"Lu Er made it himself." Lu Er said, "No wonder who..."

Xie Zhiyao let out a desperate roar, like a cornered beast, he wanted to hug Lu Er tightly, but was afraid of hurting him, so he could only kneel on the side of the bed, holding Lu Er over and over again. The increasingly cold hand could not stop kissing, he said: "Lu Er, why...why..."

Lu Er said: "Lu Er just doesn't want others to bully the young master again." Probably Wan Yao's acupuncture had worked, and he had the strength to speak again. Lu Er looked at Xie Zhiyao, his eyes were as bright as heaven Xingchen, he said, "Young master, don't envy Lin Rufei, the young master is loved by others, and Lu Er loves the young master the most."

Xie Zhiyao was speechless, and he didn't realize that he was crying until wet liquid dripped on the back of his hand.

Where did Lu Er see Xie Zhiyao's appearance, she was a little flustered, and hurriedly told the young master not to cry.

Xie Zhiyao said: "Yes, you love me, but if you leave, who will love me?"

Lu Er said: "The young master became the head of the Xie family, and many people will like it." He murmured, "When the young master marries a wife and has children, Lu Er will no longer be needed... It's just a pity..."

Xie Zhiyao showed a look of despair.

Wan Yao said that there is no cure for the green ear medicine and stone, and he has no other way.

With some strength, Lu Er started talking again, scolding Xie Zhiyao's father, scolding Xie Zhiyao's brother, scolding all Xie's family members, except Xie Zhiyao, the young master.Xie Zhiyao listened and watched dumbly, with a dazed expression as if his soul had already slipped out of his body.

Until Lu Er seemed to be tired, his voice gradually weakened.

Xie Zhiyao spoke suddenly, "Lu Er, why didn't you ask?"

Lu Er said blankly: "Huh?"

Xie Zhiyao said: "Didn't you always want to know if I like you, why didn't you ask?"

Lu Er's lips twitched slightly, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "I... don't want to know."

"Why, why don't you want to know?" Xie Zhiyao trembled.

"Because the young master will definitely take pity on me." Lu Er said, "I don't want the young master to take pity on me." He stared at his wet black eyes like an innocent deer, "I...I just want the young master to like me." He After saying this, she lowered her eyes in embarrassment.

Xie Zhiyao completely collapsed.

He shook his shoulders, covered his face in pain, and whimpered, it was the first time he hated himself so much, hated himself for hesitating, hated himself forcibly entering the house, hated himself for not giving the answer Lu Er wanted.

Lu Er looked at Xie Zhiyao's pain and was at a loss. He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say to make his young master feel better, so he could only grab Xie Zhiyao's hand in a panic and coax him not to cry.

Xie Zhiyao is two years older than Lu Er, and they met when Xie Zhiyao was three years old, and they spent more than twenty years together.Xie Zhiyao's mother died early, and he was not favored in Xie's family, and he only followed such an annoying little servant by his side.

No one in Xie's mansion likes Xie Zhiyao, and no one likes Lu Er.

Fortunately, Lu Er doesn't mind, as long as the young master likes him, that's enough.This kind of liking changed from the time of the servant, until when Xie Zhiyao was in danger, it spread like a spark like a prairie fire.

Lu Er knew that his time was short, and the only thing he could think of was to get the word "love" from the young master's mouth. It was not pity for the dying person, but pure love.

But unfortunately, he didn't get his wish.

Lu Er should have been somewhat regretful, but seeing Xie Zhiyao's desperate appearance, that regret has turned into worry for the young master. His death was something that had been prepared long ago, but he didn't expect it to be the one that has always been The calm Xie Zhiyao was in such pain.

"Green ear, green ear..." Xie Zhiyao said, "Ask me, ask me again, ask, ask."

Lu Er was frightened by Xie Zhiyao's appearance, and whispered: "Okay, okay...Master, do you like Lu Er?"

"I like it, I like green ears." Xie Zhiyao sobbed and paused every word, "Xie Zhiyao, I like green ears the most."

Green Ears smiled.

Xie Zhiyao said: "He likes you so much, why are you willing to let him be sad, Lu Er..."

Lu Er stroked Xie Zhiyao's head as if coaxing a child, and said in a low voice: "It's okay, I am not always with the young master, I am with the young master."

Xie Zhiyao cried again.

Wan Yao outside the house heard Xie Zhiyao's wail and sighed deeply.

There are seven hardships in life, birth, old age, sickness and death, parting from love, meeting resentment and hatred, not getting what you want, as long as you are still on the road of life, it is difficult to escape the torment.

Xie Zhiyao and Lu Er, whom he had watched grow up, felt a little sad to see the two of them parting from each other.

Doctors are benevolent, although they can do things, but too little is too little.

"Something must have happened to Xie's mansion." Lin Bianyu did not know when he appeared beside Wan Yao, looked at the wooden house behind Wan Yao where Xie Zhiyao was crying, and said in a low voice, "I don't know Xiao Jiu How is it now?"

Wan Yao said: "Xie Zhiyao has reached the eighth level of cultivation."

Lin Bianyu showed surprise.

Wan Yao is an old man, so naturally he knows the rules of Xie's house, but Lin Bianyu and the others are still young, so they don't know much about these things, he explained: "It's just the Xie family's infighting, it shouldn't be bad for Xiao Jiu. "After that, he told Lin Bianyu the rules of Xie's family. After hearing this, Lin Bianyu showed some pity. He didn't know whether he was pitying Xie's family or the dying Lu Er.

Inside the Xie Mansion, Gu Xuandu was still sulking with Lin Rufei, and he was not seen for a whole day.

Lin Rufei didn't know how to coax him, so after thinking about it, she put on her cloak and went to the street alone, slipped around the street a few times, and found an old flower seller.

The old man sold some gorgeous flowers like peonies, so Lin Rufei asked if there were peach blossoms for sale nearby.

The old man smiled and said that there are peach groves everywhere, why buy peach blossoms, as long as you leave this Moyu City, you can see a peach blossom grove less than two miles east.However, due to the heavy rain last night, the peach blossoms were probably beaten to pieces.

When Lin Rufei got the news, she walked out of the city slowly. When she left the city, she didn't forget to buy a bright red candied haws at a small stall, and went towards the peach forest while gnawing on it.

There are mountain roads outside Moyu City. It rained again last night, and it was a little muddy. Fortunately, the weather today is good. Although the mountain wind is strong, it is not too cold.

Walking through the winding path, Lin Rufei soon saw the peach forest that the old man was talking about.It's just that there is only a small piece of peach forest here, which is far less spacious and beautiful than the one under Kunlun Mountain.The peach color was also a little lighter. Lin Rufei looked left and right, and seeing no one, she quietly leaned into one, using both hands and feet, climbed up, and stretched out her hand to pick off a bunch of peach blossoms that were still intact.

Unexpectedly, the foot on the tree slipped, and the person and the flowers rolled down from the tree together. Lin Rufei let out a cry, and felt that she was firmly caught by a pair of hands.

"Are you going to throw yourself to death?" Gu Xuandu gritted his teeth.

Lin Rufei looked at him innocently, and handed the peach blossom in front of him: "Nong."

Gu Xuandu said coldly: "No."

Lin Rufei blinked, then covered her mouth with her hand, and coughed forcefully.

Gu Xuandu: "..."

Lin Rufei glanced at Gu Xuandu while coughing, the cautious senior still couldn't bear his endless coughing, and said angrily: "Okay, okay, just give it to me, don't cough, carefully give your lungs Cough it out."

Lin Rufei stopped coughing immediately, and happily patted the mud on her hands, saying that the peach blossoms were not as good as those on Kunlun Mountain.

Gu Xuandu said: "Really."

Lin Rufei said: "Of course, the best one must belong to the one in my yard."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuandu's expression softened a lot.

Although Lin Rufei didn't understand why Gu Xuandu was angry, but seeing him put the matter aside, she felt relieved, touched the rough bark of the peach tree and said she didn't know what happened to Xie Zhiyao.

"He will be back soon." Gu Xuandu said casually, "Lu Er can't live long."

Lin Rufei sighed.

As soon as the green ear was mentioned, the atmosphere was not very good, so Lin Rufei had no choice but to change the subject, saying that the candied haws he ate just now tasted good, but Gu Xuandu blamed him for coughing so badly that he dared to eat candy.

"It's okay." Lin Rufei waved her hand, "I'm used to coughing, I can't die." After speaking, there was another series of coughing.

After admiring the flowers for a while, the two went down the mountain.

As the night is approaching, the lights in Moyu City are also turned on. On the streets of Qingshi, there are loud hawkers, residents bargaining, and tourists who just look around and know they have just arrived in the city.The world is full of vicissitudes, but it is very lively.

The matter of the Xie family's competition for the position of Patriarch had already been settled, and the suffocating atmosphere of the previous few days was gone.

When Lin Rufei went back, she saw several carriages parked in front of the Xie Mansion. After asking, she realized that the stewards who had left the mansion for half a month had just returned. They obviously knew the rules of the Xie family, so they specially picked this one. Time to go out to seek refuge, now that Xie Zhiyao won the position of Patriarch, they also returned and began to prepare to accept the new Patriarch.

This is very efficient, but for some reason, Lin Rufei feels a little uncomfortable.

It was Fu Hua's words that made him understand why he was uncomfortable, Fu Hua said: "This Xie Mansion is really weird, it seems that so many people have died, and they are all insignificant."

Yurui said: "Yeah, when you die, you die, you just drag it and bury it, there is not even a tomb... By the way, Sister Fuhua, that Xie Ji's head..."

Fuhua glanced at Yurui expressionlessly, Yurui's neck shrank when she saw it, and then replied: "Xie Zhiyao took it."

Yu Rui said, "Buried?"

Fuhua said: "It's a fire."

Yu Rui: "..." She didn't dare to ask Xie Wanlin what happened to that pile of ashes.

The two looked resentful, and they didn't want to mention this matter any more.

Sitting in the courtyard, Lin Rufei looked at the servants coming and going, and the Xie family who seemed to be recovering, feeling a lot of emotion in her heart.The person who should have celebrated the victory is now on the Kunlun Mountains, presumably... probably in grief.

That night, Lin Rufei received a letter from Lin Bianyu's family.The family letter said that he saw Xie Zhiyao and the dying Lu Er. Xie Zhiyao almost completely collapsed after learning that the green ear medicine stone had no cure. What kind of drastic things would he do? Then he asked how Lin Rufei was doing and whether she was affected in any way.

Lin Rufei wrote back, saying that the Xie family treated her very politely and never overstepped, nor did she tell Lin Bianyu about Xie Wanlin.

After all, if Lin Bianyu really knew, he would rush to chop up Xie Zhiyao in a fit of anger.Lin Rufei is very clear about her elder brother's protective nature.

After replying to the letter, Lin Rufei drank another dose of cough medicine and planned to rest earlier.Gu Xuandu looked at the peach blossoms in the porcelain vase on the table, wondering what he was thinking.

"Senior Gu, I'm going to bed first, what about you?" Lin Rufei covered half of her face with a cup, only showing a pair of pale eyes, and asked in a muffled voice.

Gu Xuandu said expressionlessly: "Go out to catch ghosts."

Lin Rufei said, "Ghost hunting?"

Gu Xuan nodded.

Lin Rufei instantly became radiant, and sat up with a whoosh, "Where are you going to catch it? Are there really ghosts in this world?"

Gu Xuandu said: "What do you think?"

Lin Rufei said: "I believe it, but I haven't seen it." He thought for a while, and said tentatively, "No one else can see Senior Xuandu, so you..."

Gu Xuandu looked back expressionlessly.

Lin Rufei said awkwardly, "Joke, it's just a joke, senior, don't take it seriously."

Gu Xuandu said: "You are much more lively than on the mountain."

Lin Rufei said helplessly: "Brothers on the mountain are very careful. If you go to the snow to see any small flowers, you will be told a few words. I tore..."

Hearing this, Gu Xuandu coughed unnaturally, looked away and said calmly: "You take good care of your illness, and when you recover, I will take you to catch ghosts together."

Lin Rufei: "Really?"

Gu Xuandu: "Really."

Lin Rufei shrank back into the blanket again, wrapped herself up tightly, and exposed her eyes outside. Gu Xuan's cute appearance made the corners of Gu Xuan's mouth twitch unconsciously.

The bed was warm, and Lin Rufei soon fell asleep, her eyes closed slowly, and her breathing became even.Seeing that he was asleep, Gu Xuandu waved his long sleeves, his figure gradually faded, and disappeared into the room.

Lin Rufei slept well this time, and when she woke up the next day, her cough had improved a lot. When she opened her eyes, she saw Gu Xuandu sitting in the room, eating the morning tea brought by Fuhua.

Lin Rufei yawned, rubbed her eyes and got up from the bed, slowly began to change clothes.

Gu Xuandu watched from the side, seeing that his injured right hand was not flexible, so he got up and took the clothes on the bed, and put them on for Lin Rufei very naturally.

Lin Rufei fell asleep in a daze, and only realized what Gu Xuandu was doing when he felt his waist tighten. He reflexively wanted to turn around, but Gu Xuandu said not to move, and helped him put the belt on his waist. Carefully arrange it before letting go.

The two looked at each other, speechless for a while.

"What?" Gu Xuandu sat back at the table and said, "This expression?"

Lin Rufei said: "This... this, it's not appropriate for seniors to change my clothes for me, is it?"

Gu Xuandu said lightly: "If you think it's inappropriate."

Lin Rufei: "Huh?"

Gu Xuandu said seriously: "I can take it off and let you put it on again for me, is this suitable?"

Lin Rufei immediately shut up, and quietly went to wash up.

Seeing him like this, Gu Xuan laughed, grabbed the steaming mung bean cake and put it in his mouth, then frowned in dissatisfaction.

"Why, this mung bean cake doesn't suit senior's taste?" Lin Rufei asked casually.

"It's too sweet." Gu Xuandu said, "The taste is not as good as my favorite...my friend's cooking is delicious."

Lin Rufei was about to speak, but Gu Xuandu raised his head to look outside, and said softly: "Your friend is back."

Xie Zhiyao came back, and returned to the beaming Xie's house with Lu Er struggling to die in his arms.

The author has something to say: Gu Xuandu: sulk, cold war.

Lin Rufei: Cough cough cough cough cough cough

Gu Xuandu: ...

Lin Rufei: Cough cough cough cough cough——

Gu Xuandu gritted his teeth: You did it on purpose, right?

Lin Rufei blinked.

Gu Xuandu: Forget it...
