Qingfeng Xu Xu

When they continued to chat later, Li Jichu mentioned the medicinal diet that Lu Xianyun was studying recently, and asked someone to bring some. Lu Xianyun didn't want Li Jichu to rush around, so he suggested that he go himself. Xu Mulin also interrupted and said that it was too late, so they could just go get it together and not bother the disciples.

The two of them were walking one behind the other, and Lu Xianyun spoke from behind:"Although you can understand the meaning of my words, I still want to explain it to you directly. Apart from a few light kung fu, I really don't have any kung fu. I was not pretending to be incompetent that day, I was indeed incompetent. Although I was closer to you at that time, my reaction was really not as fast as that of Junior Brother Xu, and I was unable to block that arrow for you."

Xu Mulin stood He set his pace and turned around, making a sword with his hand. The sword was in front of Lu Xianyun in an instant. Lu Xianyun stepped back step by step and was restrained. If Xu Mulin was holding a sword at this time, I'm afraid Lu Xianyun would Xianyun has already died several times

"I had the chance to see such a majestic, but very useless movement technique once."Xu Mulin retracted his hand, turned around and continued walking forward. After taking two steps, he looked back at Lu Xianyun and asked,"What is your relationship with Du Shengyang?"

"There was a relationship with him, but actually there was no relationship at all. I just wish I never had anything to do with him."Lu Xianyun is unpredictable.

Listening to Lu Xianyun's false and true words, Xu Qingjiu's eyes were heavy and he looked even more indifferent.

"Don't worry, I'm not one of his many legacy. My real name is Qiu."It was really uncomfortable to be looked at by Xu Mulin. Lu Xianyun raised his hand to block it, looking blankly into the distance.

"Autumn? Then what is your relationship with Qiu Yuebai?"

Lu Xianyun put down his hand, looked at Xu Mulin, sighed, shook his head in amusement, and said coldly after a long time:"I haven't heard anyone mention his name for a long time. But I'm really sorry. This is my private matter and has nothing to do with anything happening now. I forgive Lu for being speechless."After saying that, Lu Xianyun stepped forward and crossed paths with Xu Mulin. To avoid Xu Mulin's whim, he turned around and continued:"If there are no other problems, your junior brother is still waiting for my medicinal diet. This medicinal diet has a good effect in auxiliary healing, but it is a little bitter. I wonder if your junior is afraid of the bitterness?"

Xu Mulin turned around and walked towards Lu Xianyun. After walking for a while, he said thank you in a calm voice.

Lu Xianyun, who was following behind, shrugged and replied briskly:"You're welcome."After saying that, he followed Xu Mulin's footsteps towards the kitchen, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: Ji Chu was right. Fortunately, he was with us, otherwise he would have been vulnerable.

Xu Mulin walked faster and faster, Lu Xianyun had no choice but to jog to catch up.

"Mulin, wait..."

Xu Mulin turned around and looked at Lu Xianyun coldly. Lu Xianyun suddenly felt the chill on his back in late autumn.

"Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Xu, can you please stop looking at me like this? What are you doing walking so fast? Wait for me. Having said that, I am more than ten years older than you. I call you senior brother all day long. Doesn’t it sound awkward to you?"While speaking, Lu Xianyun met Xu Mulin's gaze again, and had to deliberately avoid it and looked forward,"Then what do you want to call you? If your name doesn't work, how about calling me Brother Xu?"

Xu Mulin still didn't speak. Lu Xianyun could only continue to talk to himself:"At least you are so much older than you. Brother Xu, can you please call me?

Unable to stand Lu Xianyun's insistence and nagging, Xu Mulin had no choice but to refuse:"My parents only gave birth to me, and my master has not had other disciples before me. I'm afraid you can't afford this, eldest brother.""

"It doesn't matter, I'm thick-skinned and can afford it."Seeing Xu Mulin speak, Lu Xianyun seemed to have found pleasure.

Compared with Lu Xianyun's irregularity, Xu Mulin, a young man of only twenty years old, seemed more and more calm,"Mr. Lu, thank you very much."

Hearing this, Lu Xianyun actually looked frightened and said in panic:"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."..."

"I was in Sijing Village before, and I just had this medicinal meal on the dining table. Thank you very much."As Xu Qingjiu spoke, he put the medicinal food in the food box, and put a bowl of hot water on the bottom. After filling it, he stopped talking to Lu Xianyun and walked away with the things.

"There's no point in asking the injured to carry things, I'll do it."Lu Xianyun took the food box from Xu Mulin's hand, and he really looked like an elder. Probably moved by Lu Xianyun's kindness, Xu Mulin said hesitantly:"Just call me by my name."

"Forget it, it's even more awkward to call you by your name, Junior Brother Qingjiu, call him by his name. I think you look like you want to eat people, I can't afford to offend you. Lu Xianyun said without looking back. After speaking, he stopped and turned around to face Xu Mulin and said,"Mulin?" Did Xu Enze pick it up for you?"

"No, it was my father who took it."Xu Mulin looked at the dark night sky, and his always calm eyes finally had some sentimentality suitable for a young man,"A tree that is as beautiful as the forest wind will destroy it, but my father's expectations for me actually just hope that I can grow up. wood in forest"

"You don’t have to be strong or special, as long as you are always accompanied by someone and you are not alone. My only name is Crane. They didn’t ask me to fly high or far. They just wanted me to be free. Although they didn’t achieve it, I remember their expectations."

"What kind of person you become is not achieved by your parents, nor by anyone else, but by your own efforts."

"Mulin is right, then Mulin, have you done it?"

"......"

"You must have been there when Master Li was buried that day. If you took all the ill-intentioned glances to your heart, then you would be living entirely for that kind of person. Do you think it was worth it? Qingjiu is very good, Mulin, be brave and take the initiative."Taking advantage of how many years you are older will inevitably lead to nagging.

"......"

"Brother, here you are, can you tell?"

"not worth it. I didn't do that either. I found it, but I couldn't do it. I'm different from you, and he's different from me."

"Why is it different?"

"...This is my business and has nothing to do with you. Please don't talk nonsense in front of Qingjiu."After saying that, Xu Mulin no longer cared about what Lu Xianyun said and left without looking back.

"no the same? What's the difference? I think Junior Brother Xu also likes you very much." Lu Xianyun hurriedly took two steps, but failed to catch up in the end. He had to let Xu Mulin walk away, muttering as he walked.

After walking forward for a while, he saw Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu standing in the corridor. Lu Xianyun Xianyun silently muttered in his heart: It's quite a good match, but it's worse than me and Jichu. Thinking in his heart, Lu Xianyun even shamelessly leaked some pride.

"What are you giggling over there? Did you go and make it fresh? How long does it take to get a medicinal meal?"Li Jichu, who came out at an unknown time, stood in front of Xu Qingjiu and said loudly to Lu Xianyun.

Lu Xianyun continued to walk towards the three of them stupidly. Before they got closer, he received a warning look from Xu Mulin's eyes, Lu Xianyun shrugged helplessly and made a shut-up expression.

Looking at the two people who had gone out and came back strangely, Li Jichu cast a questioning look at Lu Xianyun.

"Okay, it's cold outside, come on in."Lu Xianyun just shook his head, smiled and stretched out his hand to push Li Jichu into the room.

Li Jichu looked sideways and saw that Xu and Xu were still standing. He leaned towards Lu Xianyun and asked in a low voice:"What's wrong with you and Mulin? Already? What happened?"

"It's okay, what could happen to me and a twenty-year-old boy? Let's go and have some soup."

Lu Xianyun didn't cover up the sound deliberately. Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu both heard it.

"What did Dr. Lu say?"Xu Qingjiu looked at Lu Xianyun and Li Jichu, then turned to look at Xu Mulin and said doubtfully

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu said that medicinal food will be good for recuperating your injuries. Let's go in too."After saying that, Xu Mulin turned around and entered the house.

"Senior brother, wait a moment."Xu Qingjiu stretched out his hand and only grabbed a corner of Xu Mulin's sleeve, but Xu Mulin still stopped. Xu Qingjiu immediately let go of his hand again. He hesitated for a moment, and then said:"Senior brother, are you still angry with me? ? But I don't understand, why is senior brother angry?"

Xu Mulin was just blaming himself recently. Unexpectedly, Xu Qingjiu also noticed that his mood was wrong. At this time, when Xu Qingjiu mentioned it, he realized that he had neglected Xu Qingjiu's feelings recently and hurriedly explained. Said:"No, I'm not angry with Qingjiu"

"Who are you angry with? Xu Qingjiu asked doubtfully:"Doctor Lu?" Did he make his senior brother angry? Was it just at the dinner table? He invites me to discuss? But his original intention was to protect me, not to make me really do anything....That’s not right. Senior brother has been angry for several days. Doctor Lu is not here during these days. Senior brother, you..."

"Qingjiu, me..."Listening to Xu Qingjiu's guesses becoming more and more unfounded, Xu Mulin had no choice but to interrupt,"I'm angry with myself. I'm angry with myself for not protecting you that day and causing you to get hurt. I'm also angry with myself for agreeing to these things. , let you..."

"Senior brother, I'm fine, I'm really fine. Didn't Doctor Lu also promise that he would treat me well? And having said that, senior brother is not responsible for these things. I also want to do it. It is senior brother who is fulfilling my ideas. How can senior brother blame himself for all this? Moreover, it is the duty of a junior brother to protect his senior brother. Are you the only one who protects me? Or is it true, as I just said at the dinner table, that my physical skills have really deteriorated? Can't you protect your senior brother? Facing a series of questions from

Xu Qingjiu, Xu Mulin only answered the important ones,"No, it's still as good as ever.""

"I thought so too."Xu Qingjiu agreed proudly."When my injury is completely healed, I still have to protect my senior brother along the way."

"Qingjiu, I want to ask..."The words just flowed through his mind once, and before he could say them out, Xu Mulin felt that he started thinking wildly again because of Lu Xianyun's words just now, which was very ridiculous.

"...What do you want to ask me, senior brother?"Seeing that Xu Mulin fell silent after only half of what he said, Xu Qingjiu asked curiously

"Qingjiu has been thinking about protecting me all day long. After returning home, should he ask his master to make us lose each other? From now on, let Qingjiu be his senior brother, okay?"

"...Okay, senior brother, even if you call me senior brother from now on, I will respond."Knowing that Xu Mulin was making fun of him, Xu Qingjiu refused to admit defeat,"I think Mulin can even make fun of me, and I'm relieved of my anger. Let's go, let senior brother stand outside for so long, go in and try Doctor Lu's medicinal diet. , to see if the taste is as good as that made by Shang Mulin."Xu Qingjiu, who was asking for an advantage, ran away quickly after saying this.

This is already very good, Xu Mulin, don't be too greedy. Seeing Xu Qingjiu's cheerful look, Xu Mulin warned in his heart Keep yourself

"Senior brother. Xu Qingjiu, who had already run into the house, stuck her head out and said to Xu Mulin outside the house:"It's cold outside. Don't catch a cold. Come in quickly.""After saying that, I probably thought that my words just now were a little offensive, so I smiled sheepishly.

"Okay~" After saying that, Xu Mulin added with a smile,"Senior brother."

Hearing this, Xu Qingjiu, who was leaning against the door, was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't stop laughing.

The two people in the room could only see Xu Qingjiu's back shaking with laughter, and Lu Xianyun was still helpless. He shrugged and shook his head and sighed, but Li Jichu looked very amused. He turned around and saw Lu Xianyun's inexplicable behavior, asking with his eyes: What's wrong?

Lu Xianyun came closer to Li Jichu and whispered:"You are stupid as hell, better than me." Really different"

"What? Li Jichu said in surprise, but in an instant he understood what Lu Xianyun meant,"Shut up.""Li Jichu was worried that Lu Xianyun would say something shameless again, so he said sternly

"I was right. Lu Xianyun retorted unwillingly.

Li Jichu had no words to say to Lu Xianyun anymore, so he turned to the two smiling people standing by the door and urged:"The medicinal food is getting cold. Mulin, Qingjiu, come and try it.""

"good."Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu replied in unison.

In the next two days, Xu Mulin's injury slowly recovered, and Xu Qingjiu's injury also recovered quickly. After receiving multiple confirmations from Lu Xianyun, Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu Jiu then began to prepare for departure. However, there was no new news about Li Jihua's traces. Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu decided to search according to the previously discussed route. The four of them had lunch together, which was a good time for Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu. Nine or two people practiced it.

After dinner that day, Li Jichu ordered people to start preparing things that would be needed on the road. Seven or eight packages, large and small, were hung on the horse's body. I was afraid that the horse would be tired enough. Lu Xianyun wondered if he should suggest a horse-drawn carriage.

"Seeing that Mulin and Qingjiu were wearing plain clothes all day long, they found similar ones and asked the tailor shop to make two sets of clothes for you."As he said that, Li Jichu handed a separate package to Xu Mulin.

He had already accepted a lot of things, but Xu Mulin couldn't find any reason to refuse two pieces of clothing, so he had to reach out and take them. But as soon as he took them, Xu Mulin Sensing something unusual, Li Jichu smiled and patted the package,"Thank you to Mulin and Qingjiu for the hard work along the way. Take care of yourselves, don't take risks, don't get hurt, I asked Xianyun to prepare some medicine for you, but you won't need it. better"

"Brother Jichu, don’t worry. Okay, if we say goodbye like this for a while, it will be dark. I originally said that I would set off early in the morning, but it still took so long."

"I have to say goodbye to you after a thousand days. Mr. Lu, please take care of yourself."

"Okay, I'll wait until you come back"

"Or see Tianzong again"

"Okay, brother Jichu said before that he wanted to visit Meizhou. Maybe Jihua and we will be waiting for you at Tianzong then? Goodbye then"

"Have a safe trip," Li Jichu said with cupped hands:"Everything is safe."

"Okay, take care of yourself too."Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu also returned the greeting, Xu Mulin replied.

After the four of them said goodbye, Li Jichu looked at the end of the road where Xu Mulin and Xu Qingjiu's figure disappeared, but he refused to take his eyes back, still standing where he was. Staring into the distance

"Go back, it's cold. Don't think too much"

"Xianyun, if they can't find Jihua, what else can I do?"

"No, they will definitely find it"

"How do you know?"

"Yesterday I watched the stars at night and counted them with my fingers."

"When did you learn this? Li Jichu was amused,"Is the calculation accurate?""

"Very accurate, wait until March of Yangchun, I will take you to Tianzong to find them."Lu Xianyun affirmed seriously.

"OK, I will."Li Jichu turned to look at Lu Xianyun, and smiled after a long time.

Due to heart disease, Li Jichu's body is weaker than others, especially in winter. To others, it is just an ordinary cold, but to Li Jichu Even if it is said, it may be very fatal. Li Jichu understood that Lu Xianyun was giving him expectations. Although he could only sigh in his heart that there would be times when he would not be able to survive, he still wanted to do it for Lu Xianyun, for Guxia Village, and for his father. , for Li Jihua, insist on surviving cold winters and wait until the spring comes and flowers bloom the next year.
