【Xu Run】Laoshizi

"Brother Yu'er, I'll drink tea for you."

"it is good--"

Runyu took the teacup. It was made of rough white porcelain, and it was fat and cute. The clear brown-red tea soup contained in it gave off a faint fragrance.As soon as his fingertips became hot, a burst of warmth rose from the bottom of his heart.

Then he raised his eyes to look at the nervous little Phoenix who was sitting by the table—it would be inappropriate to call him "Little Phoenix" at this time, he was obviously a tall and heroic young man, but he was staring at his own His appearance made Runyu smile unavoidably, as if he was still that cute and lively young boy.

Runyu gathered the cloak around her body. Just now when he said that it was cold, Fenghuang hurriedly took off the huge cloak and covered him, and ran out in a hurry to boil water and make tea. hugged a rabbit.

"Warm your hands!" After he finished speaking, he ran away in a panic. Runyu hugged the rabbit. At first, he was a little at a loss, but soon his attention was diverted by the rabbit: the little rabbit was in his arms Struggling wildly, as a small animal, its powerful hind legs glared at him several times.

"What are you doing? Don't make trouble." Runyu coaxed it nicely, but it didn't listen, and struggled desperately as if Runyu was some kind of villain--it really regarded Runyu as a villain, and it didn't smell familiar Don’t you feel panic-stricken—a person and a rabbit are playing lively, and a lamb crashes in from the door at some point, bleating at the bed, and stomping its little hoof Seeing that Runyu didn't respond, it even jumped up and bit Runyu's sleeve, telling him to get up and leave its little master's bed.

Runyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but as he got older, he experienced more things, and he was more open-minded than before, so he didn't care about the two little animals, so he stood up obediently, and returned the rabbit to the lamb. Before it stopped, the lamb lowered its head and picked up the flesh from the back of the rabbit's neck, and carried it away.

Before leaving, he did not forget to give Runyu a hard look.

Xu Feng walked into the room, first looked to the left, the bedroom was empty, only the sheep and the rabbit were lying in a corner, staring at the direction of the hall, he was startled, the first reaction was that Runyu had left—— - Immediately, he heard the sound of pages being turned from the study on the other side. He looked back and saw that Runyu was flipping a stack of rice paper on the table.

Before Xiao Runyu disappeared, Xufeng was teaching him how to write Feibai, but Runyu was in a gentle and stable mood, and it seemed that writing such ostentatious fonts always seemed to be meaningless. Even so, he refused to give up, obediently copying and practicing calligraphy every day , as if determined to become a master of Feibai body.

He is no longer there, but there are still traces of his existence everywhere - but if you look at the six worlds, except for these two huts and a small courtyard, there is no evidence in the world to prove that such a young man existed in this world.

He is a dream, he is a bubble, he is a fantasy color that does not exist, and he is a greenhouse flower watered by Xufeng's painstaking efforts.

But he will never come back.

Xu Feng's throat couldn't help tightening for a while, he held back his emotions, and said as calmly as possible: "I've made tea."

But Runyu's attention was all on those papers.Perhaps it is because people will unconsciously pay attention to the changes around the person they like, or even other people.He laughed:

"This handwriting doesn't look like yours, who wrote it?"

He was chatting casually, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Xu Feng standing in front of him. Just now they were both sitting and didn't feel it, but now he saw that he was really tall, his body under the black cloth was strong and powerful, exuding The gurgling heat of a mature man.Runyu was taken aback by him, and was in a daze, while Xufeng had already taken away the waste paper that he had practiced calligraphy from.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but his expression seemed a little unhappy, but when he opened his mouth immediately, he seemed to be amiable again.

"It was written by my apprentice." Xu Feng said, "Come and drink tea."

"Disciple?" Runyu was full of emotions for a moment, the little Phoenix back then now has a disciple, it really is a different thing.

After ten years of separation, Fenghuang is no longer a squeamish young man, and he is no longer the high-spirited and carefree fourth son.

He was standing in the study for a while, when Xu Feng turned around and saw that Runyu was still standing in the study, seeming to be thinking about something, his heart suddenly felt like knocking over the seasoning bottle: At this moment, Runyu, Who is missing in my heart?

During the two years in the human world with Runyu, he was so worried every day, sometimes sad, and sometimes overjoyed. No one can touch his mind like this person anymore, even if it is just a small gesture. Also ask him to read a hundred meanings.

He thought together, and then he said in his heart: Xufeng, Xufeng, I have already thought about it, so I can take good care of my brother for a while, as long as he is happy, why do you think of those things?If it can make him happy, who cares what he thinks?

For a while, those jealous and sour thoughts subsided again, he raised his voice and urged: "Brother Yu'er."

Runyu smiled and replied: "Hey, here we come." After speaking, he put away all those complicated thoughts first, and sat at the table with Xu Feng to drink the black tea he made.

"tasty?"

Runyu looked at his expectant eyes, and couldn't bear to say anything to hurt people—this tea is not very good, but the spring water is sweet, and it has been boiled for a long time, so the taste is very astringent. To those who have tasted countless famous and good teas, this cup of tea really cannot be called "delicious".

But when he looked into those eyes full of expectation, he couldn't say anything else, he could only smile and say, "It's delicious."

"That's good." Hearing these words, Xu Feng felt as if her whole face was lit up, and she was so happy that she took the cup and poured another one and handed it back.Runyu took it, but suddenly fell silent.

The tea was crudely made, and with the sincerity that Fenghuang treated him at this time, it was definitely the best thing he could come up with—how could the picky little Fenghuang of the past be willing to fall to this point?Looking around, the house is a small wooden house, fortunately, it is well-equipped with furniture. Looking out from the window, it is built on the mountainside, just like a hermit mountain dweller.

What happened to make this precious young boy stay here, and he still looks like he's used to it.

Seeing him looking around, Xu Feng suddenly became nervous: Yes, Runyu in the world is a rich tea merchant son, and he is the serious baby of the family. Living in such a place is inevitable. It is very wronged.After Xu Feng came back to life once from the dead, she has realized a lot about these mundane things, and no longer cares about whether food and clothing are fine or not. , very sad, very anxious.

"Brother Yu'er, I..." He wondered in his heart whether he could immediately order someone to buy the best house in the town below the mountain and move there with Runyu, but is the house in the border town here good enough?

Runyu looked down at the tea soup for a while, and finally mustered up the courage to say: "Fenghuang, you have been... how have you been all these years?..."

Xu Feng was taken aback, and a hesitant and painful look gradually appeared on Runyu's face. Xu Feng never expected him to say such a sentence, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was very suitable for Runyu's personality—his nature is Gentle and kind, Xu Feng has a good temper, he will feel that he has been wronged to become so good, and seeing him live a simple life, he will only feel sorry for whether he is suffering, and will not be disgusted.

At this moment, his heart was overwhelmed, and he only had one thought - he really wanted to go back and kill the self who had just left.

Xu Feng sucked her nose twice, and said hoarsely: "Okay, I'm fine, brother Yu'er, don't worry about me."

He said "I'm fine", and someone with a heart might think, Runyu has been looking for him for ten years, but he says he's fine, will Runyu feel unhappy?Runyu laughed after hearing this, and said happily, "Really, that's good."

"Hmm...um." Seeing Xu Feng, she felt even more sad and guilty, and said in a low voice, "Brother Yu'er, I am actually a god in the sky. My name is Xu Feng. I was the youngest son of the Emperor of Heaven when I met you. Time... At that time I went to the mortal world to get acquainted with you, and then... I left, I actually wanted to come back, really! I just wanted to scare you, but one day in the sky and one year on the earth, I walked away for ten days , when I come back..."

Runyu murmured: "Ten years have passed in the mortal world."

A full ten years of homelessness, countless times of hope and loss, in the eyes of the other party, it was just ten short days.

The natural chasm between God and man has only now become extremely clear and cruel.

Without realizing it, Runyu became quiet again.In Xu Feng's view, the ten years he spent looking for Xu Feng were probably insignificant.

Although he was a little sentimental, he was a broad-minded person after all, and he never showed it on his face. He just looked at Xu Feng from the side, and suddenly said, "It's strange, if it's only ten days, how could you... how could you Grown up?"

He never questioned Xu Feng's words, but simply found it strange.Xu Feng's expression froze, and after a while, he suddenly gave up his chair and half squatted and half knelt down in front of Runyu, holding Runyu's hand and saying, "Brother Yu'er, don't be afraid, you still have me."

"Why..." Runyu, who is so intelligent and astute, suddenly had a bad feeling when he saw his panicked expression. Xu Feng gritted her teeth and told a half-truth and half-false story.

"I was only 4000 years old when I met you, so I was really a boy." Xu Feng said, "I stayed in the heaven for ten days, so naturally I won't grow up... But now, more than [-] years have passed since then."

Runyu was startled, only felt a layer of cold sweat on his back, he held Xu Feng's hand instead, and said anxiously: "What are you talking about? You...don't lie to me..."

"I didn't lie to you..." Xu Feng said, "When I went back that day, I went to look for you in the small courtyard where you lived alone, brother, I don't know if you still remember, I called you at that time..."

That's right, Runyu now recalled that he heard the Phoenix calling him the night before, and it was clearly a child's voice.He felt more and more frightened, his hands and feet were cold, his body was as if petrified, and he couldn't move. Xu Feng became more anxious, seeing his appearance, he felt distressed and anxious: "Yu'er..."

"You mean, now... 4000 years have passed?" Runyu murmured, "Then my parents, my elder brother...they..."

"They have all passed away." Xu Feng said, hugging Runyu tightly, for fear that he would do something irrational in grief, "Brother, brother, listen to me, I checked the life book myself, they They were all reincarnated to a good family, and they will be reincarnated happily as human beings, you...don't...to be too sad." The last few words were almost squeezed out of his throat, yes, what kind of Xufeng is he? He has lived with his parents, elder brother and uncle for thousands of years. Now that his father is dead and he is separated from his elder brother and mother, even though he knows that this is the family's own fault, he still feels melancholy. What's more, the Qi family back then. How much people love each other, at this moment Runyu suddenly lost all relatives in his heart, and became a lonely person in this world, how heartbroken should he be?

But he can't hide this matter, Runyu is too smart, he will find out the problem sooner or later, and the grown-up self is the biggest flaw.

"They...are not here anymore?" Runyu said with a lost soul, "They are all..."

"I'm the only one left?" He asked blankly, "Why?"

He held Xu Feng's hand and asked in a low voice: "Fenghuang, why didn't I go with them..."

Xu Feng hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Brother Yu'er, you fell into a deep sleep because of a strange disease... This disease is strange, I'm afraid you accidentally contracted it from traveling around, and it's very difficult to cure. I went to look for you, and happened to be sick, so I took you away, and used magic to freeze your body and soul, hoping to save you after collecting all the medicines, but after that, many things happened, the heavens changed dramatically, My father died and my elder brother succeeded to the throne, and the Six Realms were in turmoil, so we couldn’t gather the medicine, so it took so many years.”

After listening to Runyu, she only took a deep breath, as if she hadn't recovered, Xu Feng hugged him, and said in a low voice: "Brother, don't be sad, you still have me... I know you found me I have been ten years, I am back, I will take good care of you, this time I will never let you down... just say something, okay?"

Runyu lowered her head and looked at the young man by her side. He had always trusted him very much. Even though everyone said that he killed his sister, Runyu never had a moment of doubt.

But what he said at this time, he seemed to be unable to understand.

"Let me be quiet for a while." He whispered, his whole body was exhausted, as if he was overwhelmed all of a sudden.Xu Feng answered nonchalantly, got up and wanted to carry Runyu to the bed, but was also held down by Runyu and pushed away: "I can do it myself."

Xu Feng was even more at a loss, and could only watch Runyu walking towards the bed like an abandoned dog. He was silent for a while, and finally he could only say: "If you need it, I'm right outside the door." Then he turned and left Go, walk to the door, but hear Runyu call him again.

"What's the matter?" Xu Feng turned around in surprise.

"Nothing." Runyu said, "Just...thank you, Xufeng."

And what Xu Feng wanted to hear was "thank you"?He nodded silently, walked out of the hut, and closed the door.
