soul guide

In the early morning, the curtain rolls light smoke, the yard is colorful, and all kinds of flowers bloom vigorously and climb up the wall. He is used to getting up early. At this moment, the mist has not cleared, and he is in the sea of ​​flowers. Penglai Wonderland.

Such a morning scene is rare, but it's a pity that Xiaoxi, a lazy little slob, sleeps so much that she doesn't sleep until the sun rises. It's a pity that I can't see this beautiful spring scene.

There was a squeak and someone pushed the door in. A tall man came in from the back door, carrying a bag of rice and a basket of vegetables. Seeing Shen sitting there alone by the railing, he felt very lonely, and called him from a distance, "Master!"

After so many years, he still couldn't change his words, Shen Pinglan heard the sound and turned around, talking to him very familiarly, "What's for today?"

The man showed him the vegetables in the basket with a very excited expression, "There is an old hen, you can make soup for Xiaoxi."

That man was a former slave of their family. He followed him to the northern borders to lead soldiers and fight in battles. He was also a good brother who went through life and death. He was the only one who was willing to follow him around after the general's mansion fell. Needing food and clothing, Shen leaned on the railing to drive him away several times, knowing that he was alone without much savings, he had to take care of them and support himself, how could he go out to work hard to fill his stomach, but this person was like a dog skin plaster, he wanted to follow them life and death, Shen Pinglan had no choice but to give him the corresponding amount of money with a stern face, seeing that he had the courage to accept it, and then reluctantly kept what he sent.

Zhao Yi followed him all the year round and knew a little about the things between them, but Shen Pinglan would not hide many things from him.Putting the things in the kitchen with ease, he subconsciously glanced at the backyard, and slowly approached Shen Pinglan.

Zhao Yi stood on the spot and looked at him several times. Shen Pinglan told him to sit down before he sat down, but when he sat down, he looked at Shen Pinglan secretly with a blushing face.It is rare for him to look coy, there must be something he wants to say but dare not say, Shen Pinglan knows his temperament well, knows that he can't hide things, so if he doesn't ask him, he can't help but say it.

Sure enough, Zhao Yi waited for a long time but did not see Shen leaning on the railing to ask him, and immediately became anxious, sneaking into his ear, "Master, you..."

His tongue got stuck when he was excited, Shen Pinglan glanced at him lightly, took a sip of tea, "Speak slowly."

"Young Master, Auntie Zhang next door to me gave me several pancakes yesterday. I ate them with Chinese toon dipped in chili sauce. They were delicious. I sent you a few pancakes and put them in the kitchen."

Shen Pinglan felt inexplicable, "And then?"

"Hey, it's nothing!" Zhao Yi touched his head and said in a low voice, "Young master, you are so old, there is no one to talk to, no one to wash your clothes, no one to cook, it's too lonely to be alone. .”

"..."

A look at him by others makes a capable person feel chills for no reason, and his house is even more difficult to enter, but whoever sees him every now and then rushes to look at his face more, such a handsome man, Seeing gentleness and elegance, although she is seldom talkative and not easy to approach, but she has not married a wife yet, and her family is well-off, so the restless women start to worry about those girls who can't find a husband-in-law. See Zhao Yi and He was close and easy to talk, and everyone came to him to help him talk.

Zhao Yi ate someone's cake, it was not easy to refuse, and he said like an endorsement: "Aunt Zhang told me yesterday that Chen Bald, who opened a drug store in the east of the city, has a girl who is waiting to be married. Not so good, less hair, she said or—”

Shen leaned on the railing to cut off his words, "Get out!"

No matter how stupid Zhao Yi was, he could guess what was going on in his mind, but he couldn't believe what he saw. Occasionally, when he came here, he would see Shen leaning on the railing and Xiaoxi cuddling together. The relationship was intimate and ambiguous. It's not like a normal brotherhood, but more like... like a lover.There are some things that he can't talk about, and he can't control them. He knows that Shen Pinglan has suffered a lot for Xiao Xi's return to the sun. All these years, he has nothing else to do, except for Xiao Xi, he is the only one in his eyes.

Back then, even the princess dared to give up, and there was no woman around her for many years, and I didn't see him lingering in the flowers like before.Zhao Yi didn't dare to say it clearly, and he didn't want to see the Shen family end like this, and he didn't want them to be old and helpless, but he knew what Shen Pinglan's temperament was. He can get things done with a few words.

In my ear is Shen Pinglan's decisive warning, "If you mention this matter again in the future, don't step into my house!"

Zhao Yi was stunned, and nodded repeatedly with a bitter face, "Don't say any more, don't say any more."

Shen Pinglan has already passed his thirties and went straight to Buhuo, still alone, working day and night for the family, doing everything by himself, even with a few strands of white hair on his temples, and taking his younger brother with him, Zhao Yi felt uncomfortable seeing it, but he couldn't help it. Dare to disobey him again.

Before leaving, he said seriously: "Young Master, it is better not to go out these days."

Even though he rarely went out, the man's suddenly serious face made him ask, "Why?"

The man cautiously glanced at the backyard, "The prince's house is haunted by evil spirits, so he specially invited the Taoist priest of Tianyu Mountain to do it. Even though he can't control it, we'd better be careful."

There have been no Taoist priests in this place for several years. Tianyu Mountain, he knows that the talisman pasted in front of Xiao Xi's door was obtained from them. He has seen how powerful those people are. If he accidentally let them know Xiao Xi's existence had unimaginable consequences.

"Zhao Yi!" Shen leaned on the railing to stop him.

"Master?"

"Don't take what happened just now to your heart, you can't hold back your breath for a while—"

The tall man quickly waved his hands in defense: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, how dare I be angry with the young master!"

"I know you're doing it for my own good, but Xiao Xi's matter is over, and I definitely don't have any other thoughts to think about these side matters." He said lightly, Zhao Yi seemed to hear him sigh secretly, and his eyes were full of tears. It's helpless, how did the young hero who used to be so high-spirited become such a down-and-out look?He lowered his head and didn't look at him, afraid that seeing Shen leaning on the railing would be sad, so he said: "I know about you, young master, and I won't mention it again in the future."

Shen Pinglan chatted with him for a few words, and told him not to enter the house again, just leave the things at the door, and wait for him to pick them up, so as not to let the Taoist priests see if he gets stained.

After Zhao Yi left, the mist gradually cleared, and Jinwu Dongsheng, he went to the kitchen to make porridge, filled a bowl and took it to the room to feed Xiaoxi.Pushing the door open and entering, Xiaoxi was still sleeping soundly with her head buried in the soft quilt, her skin uncovered, her bare buttocks poking out, and the quilt that had been covered for him before she left was kicked aside.The porcelain bowl was lightly placed on the bedside, and he stepped forward to shake him awake and shouted, "Xiao Xi, Xiao Xi, get up and eat."

What this person is most afraid of is getting up early. He used to be able to shirk his head and stay out of bed, but now he can't see anything, and there is always chaos and darkness in front of him. With energy, he got up quickly, groping and nestling in his brother's arms before opening his mouth.

Shen Pinglan held him in his arms and fed him spoonful by spoonful. Xiaoxi opened her mouth wide to look for the spoon in his hand, like a chick waiting to be fed. Seeing him laughed, "I'm so big, I still need my brother to feed you." For dinner, if one day my brother is gone, what will you do?"

It was supposed to be a joke, but Xiao Xi pouted and groaned a few times, and refused to eat any more. He was stunned for a moment and buried his head in the socket of his neck, unable to come out no matter how anyone screamed.

After a while, Xiaoxi opened her mouth and asked in a trembling voice, "Brother, why are you not here? Do you want me?"

Shen Pinglan chuckled, stroking him from the top of his hair to the tip of his hair over and over again, "Everyone will be born, grow old, get sick, and die. Will my brother stay by your side for the rest of my life? One day my brother will grow old and die, and he will leave before you..."

"No! Don't!" Xiaoxi was trembling with fear, hugging his waist tightly, her eyes filled with tears, and she was already crying, "Brother, if one day you die, I, I will go with you die."

"..." Shen Pinglan was at a loss for words for a moment, this is really a fool, who can't live without him?Only a stupid person like him would do such things, and what he said would not pass through his brain. He didn't believe in the oaths made by the world, and felt that those vows to eachother were uncountable. Maybe one day it will really come true.
