Chapter 7 Chapter 6 Seems like an old friend is coming

Xiao Liu's physique is very specific, and his wounds heal much faster than ordinary people.Jing left behind a lot of good medicine, Yushan chalcedony, and the flowing light refined from Guixu crystal... There are all kinds of precious medicines in the wilderness, and Xiao Liu's injury recovered quickly. Xiao Liu was never stingy with things, he could pour out a whole bottle of Wannian chalcedony to soak his hands, but he refused to use painkillers, he yelled and jumped up and down in pain every day. At first, Xiang Liu just looked at it coldly, but later he was really annoyed by his quarrel, and taunted him: "I really sympathize with those who tortured you, they tortured you with maggots and bones, and you tortured them torture."

Xiao Liu looked at him dissatisfied, "I really regret giving the Gu worm to Xuan." Xiang Liu sneered, "Even if you raise Gu, you should raise a vicious one. With this Gu you raise, if you hurt the enemy, you must first hurt yourself. Fortunately, you planted it for Xuan, and it can be useful for him. You planted it for him. Me, I am a body with nine heads, if you hurt yourself to death, I won’t react too much.” Xiao Liu felt that talking to Xiang Liu was just looking for anger, and he didn't want to talk to Xiang Liu anymore, so he ran around in the woods with his hands up, screaming.

Xiang Liu couldn't stand listening to it, so he decided to hide in the clouds. Day by day, the pain became smaller and smaller, and Xiao Liu's hands gradually recovered. In the early hours of the morning, when Xiao Liu was sleeping in a daze, he suddenly felt strange fluctuations in his body.He didn't understand at first, and after thinking for a while, he realized that this was a message from the Gu worm. Xiao Liu hurriedly got up and rushed out of the room, "Xiang Liu, Xuan..." "I know." On the cliff there were a dozen or so masked men. Both the men and the mounts were full of murderous aura and were waiting in full force. Obviously they already knew that Xuan was approaching.And judging from their formation, there must be no fewer people brought by Xuan.

Xiang Liu said to Xiao Liu: "Xuan is coming in menacing ways, and I just want to kill him. Tonight is a battle of life and death. You find a place to hide." Because he was wearing a mask, he couldn't see Xiang Liu's expression clearly, only his eyes were like eyes. The ice and snow condensed, indifferent without a trace of warmth. Xiao Liu didn't dare to talk nonsense, looked around, got into the woods, and hid under a rock. Not long after, Xiao Liu saw Xuan leading a group of people coming in a mighty way. There are more than 30 mounts of various kinds, and their outstretched wings cover the sky.Xiao Liu looked up in shock, who is Xuan?Can have such a powerful force?

High in the sky, a fierce battle broke out. Compared with Xiangliu, Xuan obviously has an absolute advantage in terms of numbers. But Xiang Liu's subordinates lived under the shadow of death every day, they had a tacit understanding accumulated with blood, and even more so, they were tough at all costs, and the two sides were evenly matched. With a loud bang, the golden fireball hit a person, and even the mount was reduced to ashes.Moments later, another was cut in two by a giant ice sword, his mount screaming mournfully. The two rode their mounts whizzing past the treetops, and soared into the sky while fighting.Xiao Liu couldn't see who it was, only heard a shrill roar.Something fell from a high altitude, fell on the stone, and split into several petals.Xiao Liu picked it up, it was a blood-stained mask.

Xiao Liu couldn't hide anymore, he rushed out and quickly climbed up the tallest tree. The sky was filled with flames of war, the light was changing, and black smoke burst out, but Xiang Liu's figure was not difficult to find.He wears white clothes and long hair, wears a silver mask, and drives a white eagle, like a snowflake, whirling and dancing in the nine heavens, every seemingly beautiful dance is a cold and ruthless killing. Four people occupied the four corners and besieged him, one of them was Xuan, and the other three were all first-class masters of spiritual power. Xiang Liu is all about fighting for his life, only attacking and not defending.

The weapon he used was a curved scimitar like a crescent moon, crystal clear, as if frozen in frost, and as his figure fluttered, the scimitar brought out a white light, like frost flowers flying in the sky. Regardless of what was behind him, Xiang Liu hurried forward, a dazzling white light flashed, a head flew up and down, Xiang Liu's back was pierced by an ice blade, blood was seen. The ice blade rolled towards him overwhelmingly, Xiang Liu didn't dodge at all, urged the white eagle to face the ice blade, and waved his hand to chop it down. The crystal knife curved, circled and passed by, frost flying, and a person connected to the mount was crushed , but Xiang Liu was also injured, leaving blood from the corner of his lips.

Leaves were flying in all directions, forming a wood spirit killing formation. Xiang Liu was impatient to break through the formation, and rushed directly towards the person who set up the formation, desperately wounding his spiritual power, and beheaded him. Finally able to one-on-one, Xiang Liu chased Xiang Xuan, but he was already injured and consumed most of his spiritual power, while Xuan was unscathed and full of spiritual power. Xuan's left hand is a wooden spirit long whip, and his right hand is a golden spirit short sword, which can actually drive two kinds of spiritual power. The whip is like a snake, rolling towards Xiangliu, and the sword is like a tiger, with its bloody mouth open, waiting for the opportunity to move.

Xiao Liu shouted: "Xiang Liu, left hand." Xiao Liu slammed his left hand hard on the tree trunk, feeling the pain, Xuan's moves were a bit biased. "Right hand." Xiao Liu slammed his right hand on the tree trunk hard, and Xuan's weapon almost fell off. In the midst of his busy schedule, Xiang Liu burst out laughing.Xuan's eyes flashed fiercely, and the long whip flew towards Xiao Liu.Xiao Liu shrank his head and slid down the tree trunk.Fortunately, the forest was dense, and the mount could not enter, so Xuan could not come to chase him. Xiang Liu ordered: "Left leg, right hand."

Xiao Liu cursed in his heart, but he had no choice but to be cruel. While hitting his left leg with a barbed stick, he hit a raised stone with his right hand. Xiang Liu's spiritual power surged, he threw out the scimitar, blocked Xuan's retreat, flew up like a roc, and rushed towards Xuan, obviously wanting to kill Xuan in one fell swoop. In a hurry, Xuan got off his mount.Under Xiang Liu's front and rear pincers, the mount shattered into blood foam, but it saved his life. Xuan fell from a high altitude and hit the tree heavily, knocking down a big tree.He was seriously injured, blood was all over his body, but he didn't dare to stop, and immediately jumped up, staggering and running, shouting loudly, calling for his attendants.

In the mountain forest, the trees are dense, and it is impossible for the mount to fly in. Xiang Liu drove the white eagle to fly over the forest for a moment, and flew down, fell into the forest, chasing and killing Xuan. Xiao Liu was like an ape, leaping from one tree to another, chasing after him unhurriedly. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a white thing, which looked like an animal's tail. Before the brain could react, the body stopped. He leaped over and picked up the white thing hanging on the branch, which was a fluffy white fox tail. Xiao Liu was completely infatuated, the corners of his lips curled up like crescent moons, he was laughing, but there were tears in his eyes, which were about to fall in sadness. Suddenly, his complexion changed drastically, and he chased Xiang Liu and Xuan like crazy. Xuan was running, Xiang Liu flashed out from the vines like a ghost, his hands turned into sharp claws, like a five-fingered sword, piercing towards Xuan like lightning.Xuan turned around to block back, and the wood spirit's long whip shattered into powder, but it didn't stop the five-finger sword at all. Xiang Liu's bewitching pupils shot red light, Xuan's body seemed to be squeezed by the mountains, he couldn't move, there was no way to dodge, but he didn't want to close his eyes, if he was going to die, he wanted to see clearly how he died. A figure jumped into Xuan's arms like a shooting star, blocking Xiang Liu's thunderous blow for him. "Ah—" Xiao Liu screamed. Xuan empathized with the pain, but after all, he was only in pain and would not be injured.Xuan looked at Xiao Liu in shock, not understanding why Xiao Liu sacrificed his life to save him. Xiao Liu pushed him away forcefully, "Run away!" Xiang Liu refused to let Xuan escape, and killed him again.Xiao Liu turned around, not hesitating to be injured again, and tightly hugged Xiang Liu's hand that had turned into sharp claws, preventing him from killing Xuan. Xuan's attendants arrived and supported Xuan to escape quickly.Xuan turned his head while running, and looked at Xiao Liu in bewilderment. Seeing that the great success was accomplished, but was ruined by Xiao Liu, Xiang Liu couldn't help being furious, and kicked Xiao Liu's leg. foot. Xuan was put on the mount by the attendants and galloped in the clouds. He leaned on the attendant, bit his lip tightly, enduring the pain. There was pain in the chest and abdomen, pain in the arms, and severe pain all over the body, as if the whole body was about to fall apart.But he knew he wouldn't fall apart, because the pain didn't belong to him, but Xiao Liu's. Xuan looked blankly at the tumbling sea of ​​clouds, why, exactly why?Xiao Liu first wanted to help Xiang Liu kill him, but at the last moment, he did not hesitate to die to save him.He ordered Xiao Liu to be tortured. It is normal for Xiao Liu to hate him and want to kill him. Why did he save him? Xiang Liu's anger was like a raging sea, tumbling to swallow everything. Xiao Liu knew that Xiang Liu was going to kill him, but he didn't feel any fear at all. The scarlet blood made her see the fiery red phoenix flower.Under the phoenix tree, there was a swing frame built for her by a mother. She stood on the swing frame, facing the falling phoenix petals, flying high, and the sound of laughter filled the world.The elder brother stood under the phoenix tree, looking up at her with a smile, and when she fell, he sent her out forcefully.The swing frame goes up, down, up, down... Xiang Liu's sharp claws grabbed Xiao Liu's neck, but Xiao Liu opened his eyes wide and smiled sweetly at him, like a flower slowly blooming in the spring breeze. The slender neck is in his hands, just squeeze it lightly, and the trouble will disappear. Xiao Liu sighed softly with a smile, as if infinitely satisfied, his head drooped heavily, and his eyes slowly closed. Xiang Liu abruptly withdrew his hand, lifted Xiao Liu, and led him away. When Xiao Liu opened his eyes, he was immersed in a small pool in a cave. In the pool, there are jade mountain chalcedony, Guixu crystal, Tanggu water, hibiscus leaves and other messy things.If it was someone else who was seriously injured and soaked in so many messy medicines regardless of their nature or quantity, they would probably die if they didn't die.But Xiaoliu has a special constitution, and messy things are actually beneficial to his body. It is estimated that there is also an elixir for pain relief, so Xiao Liu only feels weak in his body and does not feel pain Not far from the pond, Xiang Liu was sitting cross-legged on a water jade couch, the hostility between his brows gathered like a mountain, as if he would collapse at any moment. Xiao Liu didn't dare to move, let alone speak, so he quietly closed his eyes. "Why did you save him?" Xiang Liu's voice was ice-cold, filled with suppressed anger. Xiaoliu's thoughts turned, he didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and said clearly: "Because I know who he is." Xiang Liu frowned slightly. Xiao Liu said: "A few days ago, I was wondering why you were so free these days, and you were able to watch me every day. Then I realized that you were not looking after me, but waiting for Xuan. Jing asked me to hide in the In the mountains, it is because I know that you have been fighting with Xuanyuan for hundreds of years, and Xuanyuan has no way to track you down. As long as you want, Xuanyuan will never find me. However, you have already guessed his identity, and you know that he will definitely not let go You passed me, so you set a trap with me, the purpose is to kill him." "I use you as a trap, so what?" "It wasn't so good, anyway, he wanted to kill me. But, I found out that his name is Zhuanxu, he is the prince of Xuanyuan, the eldest grandson of the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan! If I kill him for you, the Yellow Emperor will use all the power in the world to avenge him." , I will never have peace in this life! There is no place for me in the wilderness!" Xiang Liu opened his eyes and stared at Xiao Liu, "I thought you were a bit courageous." Xiao Liu said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you. You dare to fight against the Yellow Emperor, but I dare not. The emperor's wrath, blood flow for thousands of miles! I can't bear it!" "How did you find out Xuan's identity?" "When you went to hunt him down, one of his attendants was in a hurry and called out his mouth. He said that he should save Prince Zhuan quickly. If you think about it, you will know." Xiang Liu stood up, walked directly into the pool, pinched Xiao Liu's neck, and knocked his head hard on the pool wall, "You also know that I want to kill him at all costs!" Xiao Liu was powerless to resist, and simply retreated to advance, "I ruined your big business, if you want to kill me, kill me!" He closed his eyes meekly, revealing a section of his fair neck. Xiang Liu sneered, "Kill you? It's too cheap for you!" He lowered his head, bit Xiao Liu's neck fiercely, and sucked the blood forcefully, expressing his killing intent in his heart. Little Liu leaned back and leaned on the edge of the pool, thankfully he was still useful to Xiang Liu.Xiang Liu has nine heads and a unique physique, so it is difficult to find a suitable medicine for his wounds, but Xiao Liu, who has a unique physique, is precisely his best panacea. Xuan, who was recuperating on the couch, suddenly sat up and reached out to touch his neck. he is alive! At the beginning, it was a severe pain, as if a sharp tooth pierced into the flesh, but gradually, the pain became weird, mixed with a slight numbness, and there was a slight pleasure in the pain, as if someone was sucking and licking light kiss. Xuan felt a little dry mouth, suddenly very angry.With such a serious injury, did that kid go crazy? What was he doing? Xiang Liu raised his head and stared at Xiao Liu, the corners of his lips were stained with blood, his eyes darkened, and he was panting slightly. Xiao Liu has always been a rascal who you can pick and choose, suddenly, he flinched, slid down, his hands subconsciously tried to cover his chest, but he immediately controlled his strangeness, and still sat carelessly. with. Xiang Liu's hand slowly slid down from his neck, stroked and played with his collarbone for a while, and then stroked down again. Xiao Liu grabbed his hand suddenly, and said with a smile, "I'm a man, even if you are masculine, you should find a handsome one." "Are you a man?" Xiang Liu's lips, which were still stained with blood, twitched slightly, half-smiling and mocking, "If you are really a man, how did you manage to hook up with him?" Xiao Liu blinked in confusion, and said with a smile, "I don't believe you can't change your voice and body." "I trust the instinct of the beast more." "If the intuition of the beast is so effective, your hairball will not be drugged by me, there will be no such thing as a trap in the world, and hunters will no longer have to hunt." "What kind of phantom do you use? Your spiritual power is low, but there is no trace, as if this is your real body!" Xiao Liu said dissatisfied: "This is my real body!" Xiang Liu stared at him, his eyes were as black as ink.Xiao Liu's heart was beating wildly, and he slammed Xiang Liu's hand away, closed his eyes, and acted like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, "Touch it, touch it, just stop doubting that I'm a woman after touching it!" Xiang Liu stared at him for a while, "I'm not interested in this fake body of yours!" He let go of Xiao Liu, turned and left the pool, lay down on the couch, and began to heal his injuries. Xiao Liu's heart finally sank when he mentioned his throat. He was seriously injured, and Xiang Liu sucked his blood. Xiao Liu felt dizzy and weighed more than a thousand catties. He lay on his back on the water and began to heal his injuries. A day later, Jing found a nearby place. Xiang Liu still had injuries on his body, and with his suspicious nature, he naturally didn't want to meet anyone who might threaten him.Before Jing found the cave where they were hiding, he left quietly, leaving Xiao Liu immobile. When Jing came in, she saw Xiao Liu floating on the water, his face pale, his body covered in injuries, and he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep. Jing checked his pulse, immediately picked him up, walked out of the cave quickly, and summoned the mount. More than ten days later, Xiao Liu woke up and found himself in a very elegant room. The pearl hangs high and the crocodile hangs low. It is hot summer outside, but it is very cool inside. From the wide open window, you can see the garden full of flowers, jasmine, jasmine, gladiolus, musk vine, Zhu Jin, cinnamon , Red Banana, Japo, Vegetable... Under the eaves, there is a row of wind chimes, which are made of ice crystals from the extreme north that is snow-covered all year round. They are red, bamboo blue, purple indigo, and white under the moon... ...cooperate with the color of ice crystals, carved into the shapes of various flowers.The breeze blew past, bringing up the cold air on the ice crystals and spreading them in all directions, making the whole courtyard as cool as spring. Xiao Liu put on his clothes and walked to the corridor. Jing stood up from the flower garden and looked at him fixedly. I am too lazy to see the sunshine, the vibrant flowers, and a gentleman, as gold as tin, as jade as jade, everything is pleasing to the eye and the eye, making people happy, Xiao Liu walked up to Jing, smiled and sighed softly: "I'll drink that golden cup, so I won't be pregnant forever! I'll drink the other glass, so I won't be hurt forever!" From death to life, let me indulge for a while Well, forget about those sad things. Jing reached out and stroked his cheek lightly, as if confirming that he was really back.Xiao Liu tilted his head slightly, feeling the warmth in his palms, Jing hugged Xiao Liu, gently but firmly embraced her in his arms. Xiao Liu closed his eyes, and leaned his head gently on Jing's shoulder.At this moment, they are Shiqi and Xiaoliu. Ding ding dong dong—the sound of cups and plates falling to the ground. Xiao Liu raised his head and saw Jing Ye standing sluggishly in the corridor, his eyes full of horror. The bad taste in Xiao Liu's body was burning fiercely. He maintained the posture just now, closed his eyes, pretended that he didn't hear or see anything, and waited to see Jing's reaction. Jing let Xiao Liu down, he was unusually calm, as if he didn't hear anything, didn't know anything, and still hugged Xiao Liu quietly.There is a kind of momentum that he will stand still even if the world is reduced to mud. Jing Ye lightly moved her lotus steps and walked over, "Did the sixth son's injury worsen again? Let the slave help me!" Xiao Liu burst out laughing, this is also a second person!He broke free from Jing's hand, stepped back a few steps, and looked at Jing Ye with a smile. Jing Ye bowed to him, "I can't repay you for saving me, my lord. Please accept the gift from your servant first." Xiao Liu smiled and avoided, "Your son also saved me, and everyone owes nothing to anyone." Xiao Liu cupped his fists at Jing, "Lao Mu and the others are still waiting for me, I'm going back." Xiao Liu turned around and left, Jing stretched out her hand, but slowly retracted it, just watching Xiao Liu's back disappear into the corridor. Xiao Liu looked better, but his body was still weak.He was tired from doing a little work, but he hadn't made any money for a while, and the whole family had to eat, so he couldn't rest, and Huichuntang still opened its doors to do business. Sang Tian'er followed Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu moved his mouth, she moved, and the two cooperated to see a doctor and get medicine, and they looked decent and orderly. Sometimes patients with trauma come to see a doctor. Sang Tian'er is not afraid of blood or nausea. Under Xiao Liu's guidance, she cleans and bandages the wound more meticulously than Xiao Liu. When the patient leaves, she can't stop talking. thank. Xiao Liu praised: "When you cook, you either have too much salt or you don't have enough salt; when you do laundry, what could have been worn for five years turned into two; You are very talented in serving people." Sang Tian'er smiled wryly, "Sixth brother, are you praising me?" Xiao Liu said: "Isn't seeing a doctor just to observe the words and feelings? Isn't taking care of the sick the same as serving others? I think you can learn medicine." Sang Tian'er raised her head abruptly, staring at Xiao Liu in a daze. Xiao Liu said slowly: "Mazi and Chuanzi have been with me for more than 20 years, but after all, they are not people in this industry. I think you are good, if you want, you should study hard. If you don't ask for more, let me If you learn how to cure infertility, you and Chuanzi will never die of hunger wherever you go in this life." "Brother Six is ​​willing to teach me?" "Why don't you want to? If you can work, I can be lazy." Sang Tian'er knelt down, kowtowed three times in a row, and said with a sob: "Thank you, Brother Six, for fulfilling everything." Everything in the past is always Follow her like a shadow, even though Chuanzi loves him in every possible way, but she is used to the impermanence of the world and the fickleness of people's hearts, and she dare not put everything on a man.The life between her and Chuanzi seems to be her hypocrisy and Chuanzi's sincerity, as if she is above and Chuanzi is below, but in fact she is crawling in the fallen quicksand, humbly begging.Chuntao can quarrel with Mazi justifiably, and she can live in her mother's house and let Mazi go away, but she always carefully resolves the conflict before it breaks out, and she and Chuanzi never blush at all.She is used to the love affair, so why doesn't she know that her husband is not a benefactor, and it is impossible to mix oil with honey every day. This kind of sweet love with unequal support is very illusory, but she is alone and has nothing to rely on. There is no one to tell you about your endless thoughts, you can only smile and hide your despair, pretending to walk bravely.However, she didn't expect that there was a person who could understand and sympathize. Thank you, Chengquan, for allowing her to live with confidence and equality, and to protect their home. Xiao Liu said gently: "Be filial to Lao Mu, if he is alive when you die, let your sons be filial to him too." Sang Tian'er looked at Xiao Liu in bewilderment.Xiao Liu smiled. Sang Tian'er realized something in her heart, she nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I will take good care of Lao Mu and Chuanzi." Xuan walked into the medical hall and sat across from Xiaoliu: "Are you asking Gu about the funeral?" Xiao Liu lowered his head by fetching the water glass, covering up the ups and downs in his eyes, smiled and told Sang Tian'er: "Go to the medicine field and help with the work." Sang Tian'er glanced at Xuan, then silently backed out. Xiao Liu drank a few more sips of water in a leisurely manner, then looked up at Xuan, "Your Majesty, what's your business?" Xuan was silent for a while before asking: "Why did you save me?" Xiao Liu said with a smile: "If you die, the Gu in your body will also die. It is not easy for me to raise the Gu, and I don't want it to die." Xuan looked at him, Xiao Liu looked calm.Xiao Liu poured him a glass of water, talked over and said, "Although I caught Ah Nian, I didn't really hurt her, I just teased her. Your subordinates hurt me, and I didn't make it easier for you. Xiang Liu Although I was used as a trap, I also saved you. Even if we retaliate, can we get even?" Xuan asked: "When will you release the Gu?" Xiao Liu thought for a while and said, "When you leave Qingshui Town." Xuan's fingers lightly tapped on a few cases, "Why can't it be lifted now?" "You are a person with lofty ideals, and you should leave Qingshui Town soon. When you leave, I will undo the Gu. This Gu is not harmful. The only effect is that I hurt you and you hurt, as long as you don't hurt Me, you won't be in pain, I just want peace of mind." "Okay." Xuan got up and left, and when he walked to the door, he suddenly turned around, "When you are free, you can go to the wine shop to find me a drink." Xiao Liu cupped his hands in thanks, "Okay." Xuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Pay attention to your body, when you are hurt, abstain from sex for a while!" "..." Xiao Liu was puzzled, when had he ever had sex? Xuan touched his neck, smiled and left.Xiao Liu still blinked his eyes in puzzlement, and after a while, he pursed the corners of his lips and smiled quietly, can I really go and drink with you?There was a voice in his heart that objected, but another voice said that he would leave soon, and if he didn't drink now, he would have no chance. When winter came, Xiao Liu's injury was completely healed. In the past few months, because the body is easily tired, Xiao Liu stays in the house all day, so he has a lot of time to teach Sang Tian'er. Sang Tian'er is studying medicine very seriously, and her daily life is busy. The relationship between her and Chuanzi has undergone subtle changes.After Sang Tian'er married Chuanzi, she was very taboo about things related to the past, and deliberately avoided them, but now occasionally she would unconsciously grind herbs while humming the songs she had learned before.In the past, Sang Tianer always followed the strings, but now sometimes when the strings were slow to work, she would urge her loudly. Sang Tianer became more and more like the mistress of Huichun Hall. Xiao Liu smiled and watched Sang Tian'er working hard to grab a little bit of happiness, just like watching seeds sprouting hard in the cold and barren land. The tenacity of life makes the onlookers feel the strength. In the evening, there was light snow. This was the first snow this year, Lao Mu lay down with hot wine, and yelled at Xiao Liu and Chuan Zi to accompany him to drink, Xiao Liu remembered another person's invitation to drink, and stared at the snowflakes in a daze. Sang Tian'er came in from outside with a lantern, and handed the lantern to Chuanzi while stamping the snow on her feet. Chuanzi was about to blow out the lantern, when Xiao Liu suddenly took it, and without wearing a hat to cover the snow, he carried the lantern and left the house. Lao Mu called: "You don't drink anymore?" Little Liu didn't turn his head, but just waved his hand. Braving light snow, walking through the long street, Xiao Liu arrived in front of the wine shop, and suddenly hesitated again. Holding the lantern, Xiao Liu stood quietly in front of the door for a while, then turned around and walked back. "Since you're here, why don't you come in and sit down?" Xuan stood at the door, looking at Xiao Liu's back. Xiao Liu turned around slowly, said with a smile, "I see no lights, so I thought you were not at home." Xuan just smiled, not intending to expose Xiao Liu's lies. Xiao Liu followed Xuan, passed through the front hall, and entered the back yard.I don't know where Xuan moved a plum tree, and now it is spitting out its pistils, and the dark fragrance fills the whole courtyard. Xuan watched Xiaoliu look at the plum tree and said, "Ah Nian wants to see it, plant it for her to watch and play with." Xiao Liu said: "You really love my sister." It was just a joke back then, but now it has all kinds of meanings. The two sat on the warm couch, set out five or six dishes of side dishes, lit the small red clay stove, and boiled wine on the stove. The doors and windows are wide open, and you can have a panoramic view of snowflakes and plum blossoms, which is really interesting. Neither of them spoke, just drinking heavily.One is still wary, too lazy to perfunctory; the other is enduring sadness, speechless. This is a wine store, and it lacks everything, except wine.The wine poured down like water, Xiao Liu gradually became a little drunk, and asked with a smile: "Why would Ah Nian allow me to sit here and drink?" Xuan smiled slyly, "She drinks very lightly, she pours just one glass, and she is probably having a sweet dream right now." Xiao Liu said: "I think you are the gods, and you are all descendants of aristocratic families, why did you go to Qingshui Town to suffer?" Xuan said: "I thought you knew the reason." "Kill Xiangliu?" Xiao Liu shook his head, "People like you don't need to do it yourself." Xuan smiled and said nothing, while Xiao Liu held the wine glass and touched him, "Tell me!" "Maybe no one will believe the real reason." "I believe." "Then... well! Tell you! I learned the brewing skills from my master. Once my master got drunk, he told me a story about his youth. He said that he was not a member of the family at that time. The patriarch, he traveled to the wilderness as an ordinary person, and made a living by blacksmithing in a small town. His parents lived a short life. One day, a young man asked him to blacksmith and coaxed him to work, but the promised wine turned out to be the worst Since then, he has met the only friend in his life. I firmly remember this story. When I was a child, I often thought that I would live like an ordinary person in the future. Maybe I could also meet a friend who I would like to have. " After Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Liu, "Do you believe what I say?" "believe!" "Why? Don't you think this reason is ridiculous?" "I can sense that you're telling the truth." Xuan sighed, "But I'm not the master. Although I'm selling wine, I don't really live like an ordinary person." Xiao Liu comforted with a smile, "Everyone has their own encounters, and you have seen a lot." Xuan laughed self-deprecatingly, "That's right, Master has not been planted with a Gu." Xiao Liu supported his head and smiled, "Then you have to thank me." Xuan asked, "Why did you save me?" Holding the wine bowl, Xiao Liu said dissatisfiedly, "I'm not drunk yet! It's too early to say that!" Xuan smiled and said, "Then I'll ask you when you're drunk." Xiao Liu shook his finger, "Impossible." "Why is it impossible?" Xiao Liu drank three glasses of wine in a row, "Because... I'm going to sleep." He lay down on the desk and fell into a deep sleep. Xuan shook him, "You can drink quite well!" He went to close the doors and windows, feeling top-heavy, so he drank a few glasses of wine in succession, lay down on the couch and fell asleep.In the middle of the night, when he woke up, Xiao Liu had left, only the cold food and wine left on the bed, Xuan laughed hoarsely. After a few days, the plum wine Xuan made last year was ready to drink. Xuan sold out the wine during the day, and suddenly became interested at night, and went to see Xiao Liu with two jars of wine. Seeing that it was him, Xiao Liu was taken aback for a moment and invited him in. Xiaoliu's family doesn't have any decent drinking utensils, they drink from bowls.Xiao Liu took two bowls and made some duck necks and chicken feet that he usually ate, so that he could have some appetizers. The two of them were still drinking in silence, and after finishing a jar of wine, they became a little tipsy. Xuan asked, "Why are you in Qingshui Town?" "Wandering around, I came here after walking, and I thought I liked it, so I stayed." "You and Nine Lives Xiangliu... are very familiar?" Xiao Liu held his head, thought for a while and said, "This kind of question is not suitable for answering while drinking." "Then drink a few more bowls and answer." Xuan poured a big bowl of wine for Xiao Liu, and after drinking it, Xiao Liu said, "I'm afraid of him, but I don't hate him. He and I are not enemies, but we are definitely not friends either." Xuan said: "It's a pity that he is too smart, otherwise I really want to have a drink with him in a normal way." Xiao Liu asked: "You and Anian... are just siblings?" Xuan laughed softly, "This kind of question is very suitable for answering while drinking." Xiao Liu poured him a big bowl, and after Xuan poured it down, he was in a daze and didn't speak for a while.Xiao Liu poured him another big bowl, Xuan drank it in one gulp, and took out a jade sachet that he wore next to his body.He opened the sachet and pulled out a small ball of fluff, like a white snowball. He shook it, and the ball became bigger and turned into a white fox tail. "This is my sister's baby. Let's say goodbye." She gave it to me when she gave it to me, saying that it was only temporarily lent to me to play, and it has been for more than three hundred years!" Xuan gently stroked the white fox tail, "My younger sister is the daughter of my aunt and master. I promised my aunt would take care of my younger sister, but I broke my promise. My younger sister disappeared when she was very young. They all said she was dead, but I always hugged her." Hope in case she is still alive, and wait for her to come back to get back the fox tail. Ah Nian is also Master's daughter, doting on her is like doting on her younger sister." Xiao Liu seemed to be overwhelmed with alcohol, put his hand on his forehead, and when he lifted the wine bowl to drink, he quietly wiped away the wetness from the corners of his eyes. Xuan rolled the fox's tail into a small ball, stuffed it back into the jade sachet, and kept it close to his body.He filled the wine, touched the bowl with Xiao Liu, and drank it down. After finishing the two jars of wine, both of them passed out drunk and fell asleep.In the middle of the night, when Xiao Liu woke up, Xuan had already left. Xiao Liu couldn't fall back to sleep, and kept his eyes open, dazed until dawn. Throughout the winter, Xiao Liu and Xuan would drink together every now and then. At the beginning, when the two of them chatted, they often talked inappropriately, but as time went by, Xuan half-truly regarded Xiao Liu as a friend, and even asked Xiao Liu seriously for advice on using poison. Xiao Liu was very frank with Xuan. For example, when explaining poisons, he almost knew everything and talked endlessly. He explained all kinds of poisoning techniques to him in detail, and explained all kinds of simple and effective ways to avoid poisons.Sometimes, Xiao Liu would seriously remind him: "Xiang Liu wants to kill you. Although he can't send troops into Qingshui Town, the Shennong Rebel Army has been here for hundreds of years after all. You should leave as soon as possible." Xuan felt that they were friends who could confide in their hearts, but when Xuan really wanted to go further, Xiao Liu would smile and pretend to be stupid. The two seem to be just wine and meat friends, talking and laughing when drunk; strangers when awake.
