Su Huai was woken up by the pain. She fell into a drowsy sleep in the morning and felt uncomfortable lying on her stomach. She wanted to turn over, but the wound was torn, and she was instantly in pain.
Qian Mian was packing his luggage, when he heard Su Huai's cry of pain, he turned around and asked, "Are you hungry? There are only emergency dry food here, let's make do with it, and then find a place to eat when we get to town later."
"It's okay, dry food is fine." Su Huai moved her body carefully, for fear of tearing the wound again, her movements were clumsy like a little turtle that can't turn over: "Can you give me a hand, I can't turn over .”
Qian Mian walked to Su Huai's side, helped him sit up, and untied his bandage, looked at the wound on his back: "It has begun to heal, and it seems to be recovering well. I'll give you the medicine last time."
"Hey, hey, you don't need to apply medicine if it starts to heal, right?" Su Huai stopped, but he still remembered that the wound medicine was applied on his body, it was painful and itchy, it was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't touch it.
"It will heal faster if you apply it." Qianmian's tone seemed to be coaxing the child: "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, huh? It will heal a few days earlier, and you don't have to worry about pulling the wound back."
Then...Su Huai showed a hesitant expression, grabbed the paper bag containing sweet-scented osmanthus candy, took one and stuffed it into his mouth, and put on a face of death: "Smear it!"
Qian Mian smiled at him: "I've been walking in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen someone as delicate as you."
Qianmian quickly saw Su Huai's more delicate side. This guy followed him out of the cave, and started crying in pain within a few steps. The wound hurts so much." "Qianmian, walk slowly downhill, I'm pulling the wound again." "Why am I injured and have to trek here, what kind of human suffering is this?"
Sincerely, with tears in his eyes, he did not delay walking, and his pace was not slow.
Qianmian was so yelled that he couldn't help but knelt down and motioned: "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."
Su Huai shook her head again: "No, you were injured too, and you haven't slept all night, so I feel bad for you to blame me."
After walking a few more steps, Su Huai, with a disturbed conscience, continued to cry out for pain.
Finally arrived in the town, Su Huai finally stopped complaining of pain, and began to look around with bright eyes, Aunt Wang's buns, Uncle Sun's pancakes, tofu nao from the front street, and sour plum soup from the back street.Buying from family to family, I don't know why he can eat so much, and he doesn't gain weight.
Qianmian choked on Su Huai's words yesterday: "I've never seen you so gluttonous in the capital, why, once you get acquainted, you reveal your true nature?"
"Hey, didn't I take Su Tong with me in the capital? Anyway, call me brother, you have to be like a brother." Su Huai said while eating, and suddenly froze: "It's bad, Su Tong hasn't seen me all night. Go back, don't panic to death this morning."
Qian Mian looked at his anxious expression: "Brother you picked up, you really care about it."
Su Huai retorted: "So what if you picked it up? Blood relationship is not important, but eye relationship is important. I recognize him, he is my brother, my family."
"Don't worry, there is still King Ning in the capital, and nothing will happen to your store and your brother. I have left a mark in the cave this morning. My people will see that we are safe and sound. give them."
Su Huai breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I can rest assured."
Turning around, he began to look at the food heartlessly again: "Come on, I see that there are a lot of people queuing up for the pastry in front of me, it should taste good, go and try it."
After buying pastries, Su Huai held up a piece and handed it to Qian Mian: "It's still hot, the skin is crispy, try it."
"No, I'm full this morning." Qian Mian waved his hand and refused.
"It's not because you're wearing a mask, is it?" Su Huai suddenly realized that Qianmian couldn't even drink water while wearing a mask. In the capital, he often disappeared, but she didn't notice how he ate and drank. .Presumably, he was looking for a place where no one was around, and secretly took off his mask to eat.
"There is also this reason." Qian Mian did not deny it.
"But why are you wearing a mask? Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" Su Huai asked puzzled.
Qian Mian fell silent, and the silence lasted for a long time, until Su Huai thought that the other party was not going to answer, and then heard a self-deprecating explanation. "Probably, only when I hide behind the mask can I dare to live according to my own wishes."
Su Huai: "It sounds like you had an unpleasant past."
"Want to hear?" Qian Mian turned to look at him.
"When I hear people say unhappy things, don't keep it in your heart, it will be much easier to say it." Su Huai's face was full of curiosity, but her tone was very reserved: "So if you want to talk, I will lend you my ear. "
Qianmian was amused by him: "Okay, finish your food, find a quiet place, and I'll tell you slowly."
The most suitable place for chatting in Qiaoning Town is probably the painting boat on the Qiaoning River. The river water reflects red maple leaves, yellow phoenix trees, and golden ginkgo biloba, flowing with layers of colors.Cross the stone bridge and bypass the embankment.
Qian Mian directly chartered a painting boat.Su Huai poured tea for Qianmian attentively, and looked at Qianmian with her chin in her hand: "Master Shenjun, please start your story."
Qian Mian glanced at him, but didn't smile. He looked at the slowly flowing river through the window, and the sealed memories slowly flowed out along with the sound of the water.
"I was raised by my master since I was a child, and I have never seen my parents. The master said that I am the son of an old man, and that my parents have gone far away."
"Master himself has a son, who is also my senior brother. Senior brother is simple-minded and devoted himself to practicing swords. I am different. I am curious about martial arts in the world and want to learn everything."
"Master always said that my intentions are too complicated to become a great tool. I refused to accept it, but I wanted to show him the skill. I entered the Saint Realm earlier than my senior brother. I was only thirteen that year. There are rumors that I am more suitable to inherit the head than the senior brother. But the master is still young, and we didn't take this rumor to heart."
"But two years later, the master left a letter and left the mountain gate with his wife. At that time, I was traveling with my senior brother. The road was fine, but when I returned to the mountain gate, my brother's attitude towards me changed. He Said a lot of heart-breaking words, drove me down the mountain, and said that my beliefs were too complicated, and I was not worthy of practicing swords, let alone practicing the swordsmanship taught by my master. I was fifteen at the time, and it was when I was young and vigorous. In a fit of anger, He abandoned his sword and went down the mountain."
"After I left, the senior brother dismissed the sect's disciples, leaving only the junior sister and an old servant to help with the sect's chores, and then began to retreat and practice. And I put on a mask, abandoned my name and identity, a little Work hard for the current Qianji Pavilion. After all, the teacher has raised me. Although my brother's actions made me angry and puzzled, I still have some affection for the teacher. Junior sister sent a letter, telling her that if there is anything wrong with the master, you can come to me at any time."
"I have collected martial arts from all over the world, even some fragments and isolated books, but I just don't practice swords. I have been waiting for him to pass the test. I want to defeat him with my own hands to prove that he is the wrong one."
"Then did you succeed?" Su Huai turned her head and asked.
Qian Mian slowly shook his head, his voice was dignified: "He is dead. He was killed by someone."
"Ah?" Su Huai was a little surprised, but also a little embarrassed, and tried to think of a few comforting lines, but felt that it was not appropriate.
"Later, I learned some other things from my junior sister."
"My father and master used to be best friends. Not long after I was born, my father betrayed Da Zhou and defected to the enemy's country. While the master raised me as his own child, he continued to give him Friends wrote letters, trying to persuade him to come back."
"In five years, my father finally replied to the master's letter, but it was this letter that took advantage of the master's last affection for him and deceived the master's wife into the enemy's battle."
"Five years ago, brother received the news about the master and his wife. It was their death. He drove me down the mountain because he was afraid that I would know about it and that someone would make a fuss about me. He retreated to avenge his wife. .”
"Thinking about it carefully, although my five years have been hard, they have been the most comfortable and fulfilling five years I have lived. I don't have to think about who I am and what I should do. Just think about what I like and what I want to be People. Wearing a mask, they cut off the past, left behind the burden of responsibility, and did what they like with ease. However, the senior brother carried all the grief alone and walked for five years.
Su Huai opened his mouth, but couldn't find any suitable words to comfort him. This story was much heavier than the worst he had expected.In the end, all he could say was dryly: "It's not your fault."
"You don't need to comfort me." Qianmian put away her emotions, but seemed calmer than Su Huai.The wound has been torn in my heart repeatedly thousands of times, and even the pain is numb, only the belief in my eyes has been polished and refined, and it has become more and more firm and clear: "Grief is meaningless, the life of the master, the wife, the life of the brother, I They will make the murderer pay in blood. I will help them take good care of what they want to protect."
Su Huai suddenly embraced Qianmian's shoulders from behind, and gave him a brotherly hug, and could feel that this tall man became a little stiff because of surprise.Su Huai only hugged her lightly, then let go.
"You..." There was surprise and bewilderment in Qianmian's voice.
Su Huai didn't know what was wrong with her, maybe that figure from her back felt too lonely, as if if she didn't hug her, the owner of her figure would walk away on the waves and wind.
Perhaps it was desensitized to this person. Su Huai felt that when he hugged this person, he did not feel fear and discomfort as before, but felt at ease. He said: "I don't know how to comfort people. Didn't you ask me why I was afraid of being with you? Do you want to contact someone? I also have a story, do you want to listen to it?"
"Tell me." Qianmian turned around and looked at Su Huai.
"I am an orphan. In my hometown, there is a special place for adopting orphans called an orphanage. I grew up there when I was a child. When I was five years old, a man adopted me. He treated me very well on weekdays and accompanied me. I play and buy toys and candy. But he drinks too much, and every time he gets drunk, he turns into a demon and he hits me. No, it's not beating, it's abuse, in the most painful and cruel way imaginable, but But I tried my best not to leave any traces, as if I was afraid of being discovered by someone. When I woke up, I forgot all the things I did when I was drunk, and continued to pamper me."
"I endured him for half a year. I thought he hit me because he was drunk and unconscious. Until one time I heard him call and talk about it with others, his eyes were shining with excitement and cruelty, and It was the same when he hit me. That's when I realized that being drunk was just an excuse to deceive me, he was sober at all, he knew it all the time, he was enjoying the process of abusing me."
"You escaped?" Qian Mian asked.
Su Huai shook her head and said calmly, "I killed him."
"Damn him." Qian Mian said.
"Since then, I have been afraid of contacting people, especially tall people of the same sex." Su Huai said, "This problem has followed me for 20 years, but I just tried it. At least for you, I can contact you normally. gone."
"Are you trying to say that everything will pass with time?"
"I just want to say that past regrets cannot be changed, but you can get out of them." Su Huai pointed to the mask on Qianmian's face: "Wearing a mask or not, you are all you, and you can do whatever you want Go live. I can understand if you temporarily wear a mask for revenge, but one day, if you take it off, you can live a true life according to your heart."
Qian Mian was packing his luggage, when he heard Su Huai's cry of pain, he turned around and asked, "Are you hungry? There are only emergency dry food here, let's make do with it, and then find a place to eat when we get to town later."
"It's okay, dry food is fine." Su Huai moved her body carefully, for fear of tearing the wound again, her movements were clumsy like a little turtle that can't turn over: "Can you give me a hand, I can't turn over .”

"Hey, hey, you don't need to apply medicine if it starts to heal, right?" Su Huai stopped, but he still remembered that the wound medicine was applied on his body, it was painful and itchy, it was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't touch it.
"It will heal faster if you apply it." Qianmian's tone seemed to be coaxing the child: "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, huh? It will heal a few days earlier, and you don't have to worry about pulling the wound back."
