Qingfeng Xu Xu

The guy looked at Xu Qingjiu and then at Xu Mulin, turned around, closed the door furtively, leaned towards Xu Mulin and whispered,"It was more than a month ago. This young man stayed at our hotel, but he just stayed there." One night, when I came over to greet me the next morning, the young man just left the rent money on the table and had already left."

"Is there anyone traveling with you? Or follow?

The guy continued in a low voice:"Who did your friend's brother get into?" Not long after he left, four young heroes came to inquire about him. Later, a noble man in black clothes and a black jade hairpin came to inquire about him. I entertained him all. But less than a day after the young man in black came, my boss took the young man’s portrait and told me that if anyone inquired about this young man, they could only say they didn’t know.

Xu Qingjiu smiled and said,"Then why did you tell us?""

"Didn't you two say you were looking for relatives? I'm just telling you now, if he really causes trouble, you should find him quickly and take him home to avoid anything happening again."

"Did you tell anyone else besides us?"

"No, absolutely not. It's strange to say that no one has asked about it since the young man in black asked about it."

"How old is the young man in black? When did you arrive?"

"He looked like he was less than twenty years old, and he came here almost a month ago, about two or three days after those young heroes came."

"Are you the only guy in your store?"

"No, the inn's profits are small, and our boss is reluctant to hire more people. He cooks and collects the money himself. I am responsible for greeting the guests."

"OK. Thank you. You can go down first and we will ask more. If what you say is true, there will be a reward."

"Yes, yes, those two young masters please use it with caution, so I won’t bother you."As the clerk spoke, he retreated toward the door.

Hearing that the clerk had already gone downstairs, Xu Qingjiu said,"Could this matter still be related to the high balcony?"

"It is possible that the head of Gaoyangtang has two sons. The eldest son is probably in his thirties, and the second son is around seventeen or eighteen. It is rumored that the head of Gaoyangtang passed away due to illness. Now the two sons are vying for the position of head, and are therefore wooing other sects so that they can succeed in the future. However, it is currently unknown which sect they want to win over."

"But based on the current situation, I think the Yuanyang sect can be ruled out first."Xu Qingjiu said after thinking for a moment. Seeing Xu Mulin's approval, Xu Qingjiu continued to analyze:"One month ago, Du Shengyang's hands were still in Guxia Manor. If the young man in black was acting on Du Shengyang's behalf, , Du Shengyang does not need to arrange for his son to go to Sijing Village. According to what the guy just said, Gaoyangyang is rich and powerful. If he really wants to win over the Yuanyang faction behind Du Shengyang, wouldn't it be easy to arrange some people for Du Shengyang at this time?"

"Indeed. Furthermore, according to your analysis, no matter which family it is for, Mr. Wu probably doesn't have to do it himself, and he still does it alone. There may be other hidden stories about this matter, and it may not be as true as what is currently being circulated in the world."

"Brother Jichu should send another message in the next two days. Then we will see if there is any new progress on his side, so as to confirm whether our previous speculation is correct."

"Okay, we just happened to be resting in Zizhou. It's winter, so I'll buy you some more thick clothes. We didn't bring many clothes with us before, but the ones Ji Chu bought were a bit too ostentatious. When everything is ready in two days, we can continue on our way."

"good."

While talking, the two of them had almost eaten. They didn't sleep well last night. During the meal, they both felt very sleepy. Xu Qingjiu even ate some casually and then lay on the table without wanting to move.

"so tired."Xu Qingjiu said feebly. If Xu Mulin hadn't listened carefully, he probably wouldn't have heard clearly.

Xu Mulin arranged the broken hair on Xu Qingjiu's forehead and said softly:"I'll ask the guy to get some hot water. Wipe your body with a hot towel to get rid of the cold, and then you can lie down on the bed and sleep for a while, okay?"

"Hmm~Okay..."Before Xu Qingjiu finished speaking, Xu Mulin heard Xu Qingjiu's long breathing and fell asleep.

Xu Mulin stood up gently, closed the door and left. After getting hot water, he lifted Xu Qingjiu up and placed him on the bed. When Xu Mulin picked up Xu Qingjiu, he only heard Xu Qingjiu murmuring,"Brother, am I a lot lighter? I think I have lost weight recently."

Xu Mulin subconsciously placed his hand on Xu Qingjiu's thigh. He pinched it and said,"I've lost some weight. This journey has been so hard. I'll take you to eat delicious food tomorrow, okay?""

"Hmm~" As if looking for a more comfortable sleeping position, Xu Qingjiu murmured, rubbing his head on Xu Mulin's chest.

Xu Mulin put Xu Qingjiu on the bed and put a hot towel on Xu Qingjiu to wipe it. Jiudu cooperated very calmly and remained motionless. Xu Mulin covered Xu Qingjiu with a quilt and played with the broken hair from Xu Qingjiu's temples behind his ears until there was nothing left to arrange, but Xu Mulin still Sitting on the edge of the bed, watching Xu Qingjiu sleeping obediently, until he could no longer resist the tiredness all over his body, Xu Mulin got up and went to the next room to rest.

After Xu Mulin left, Xu Qingjiu's face was filled with tears as he lay on the bed. It started to turn red, and it got redder and redder. Xu Qingjiu opened her eyes and sat up, opening her mouth to breathe. However, she felt that her face was getting hotter and hotter, and her heart was also very panicked. Her heart was beating out of rhythm. Xu Qingjiu got out of bed and walked away. When I got to the table and drank some water with the teapot, I finally felt better.

"...Is the brother's towel too hot? Why is it so hot?"As Xu Qingjiu spoke, he pulled open his collar a little to dissipate the heat that spread from his face to his whole body.

Xu Qingjiu lay back on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and finally fell asleep. After a while, he woke up again. Xu Qingjiu opened the quilt and looked at his wet pants. He felt very frightened. He stood up and changed out of his obscene pants. He walked around the room with the changed pants. He didn't know. How to deal with it.

Although there are three men in Ziqingtang, there is really no one who can teach Xu Qingjiu this knowledge. Xu Enze, the unreliable one, knows this but can’t think of anything to say. As for Xu Mulin, When I first grew up, I didn’t understand it for a while, but when I was tidying up Xu Enze’s study in the early years, I vaguely learned something from a small book that Xu Enze had hidden on the wall of his desk. Later, Xu Mulin gradually Realizing that he had abnormal thoughts about Xu Qingjiu, he was even less likely to take the initiative to mention these men's physiological matters in front of Xu Qingjiu. Therefore, Xu Qingjiu would be very flustered and even absent-minded every time he experienced this. One day, every time Xu Mulin asked about Xu Qingjiu's abnormality, Xu Qingjiu didn't know how to answer, so he had to take advantage of Xu Mulin's cooking time to grab a pile of clothes and wash them, whether they were clean or not. Seeing Xu Qingjiu behaving strangely, Xu Qingjiu found it difficult to say anything and never told Xu Mulin. Xu Mulin could only think that Xu Qingjiu liked to be clean.

But at this time and here, Xu Qingjiu couldn't handle it according to the old method, and even opened the window I wanted to throw my pants outside while no one was around, but as soon as I opened the window, there were people coming and going outside. Fortunately, Xu Mulin didn't take the basin of water away just now. It was now placed on the wooden stand by the window. Qingjiu had no choice but to wash his pants first. He smelled a faint smell, and his face that had faded suddenly turned red to the roots of his ears. After washing the pants, Xu Qingjiu squeezed out the water as much as possible and put the wet pants back into his hands. Hiding alone in a bag, I left the window open for a long time, trying to dissipate the smell in the room quickly. A basin of water also flowed from the window sill along the wall to the depths of the ground.

Do everything well and follow the flow in the room. The smell slowly dissipated with the wind, and Xu Qingjiu finally fell back on the bed with peace of mind. When she woke up, it had been dark for a long time, but she still felt uncomfortable all over her body. She stayed on the bed and continued to fall asleep. During this period, he felt someone entering his room, touching his forehead and saying something, but Xu Qingjiu heard nothing clearly. When he woke up again, it was already broad daylight, Xu Qingjiu stretched himself out and sat up from the bed, feeling tired all over his body. Sweeping it away, my whole body felt very relaxed. When I turned around, I saw Xu Mulin lying beside the bed in plain clothes. Xu Qingjiu stretched out her hand and gently touched Xu Mulin's forehead, whispering to wake Xu Mulin up.

"Qingjiu, are you awake?"Hearing Xu Qingjiu's voice, Xu Mulin suddenly sat up and reached out to touch Xu Qingjiu's forehead,"Fortunately, we have retreated, but is there any discomfort?"

"No."Xu Qingjiu also wanted to raise his hand to touch his forehead, but when his fingertips touched the back of Xu Mulin's hand, he suddenly remembered that he had experienced a similar scene last night when he was dazed, and realized that it was not a dream.

"That's good. Fortunately, the medicine Mr. Lu gave me has the right medicine."

"Senior brother, you get up first, the ground is cold."Xu Qingjiu stretched out his hand to lift Xu Mulin, who had been kneeling on the ground, and pulled the quilt to cover Xu Mulin's knees, wrapping it carefully,"Maybe I was a little tired from the road, but I'm fine now. I got up after a good sleep. I feel much more comfortable. But senior brother, did you not sleep all night?"

"I gave you medicine, but I was worried that you might feel unwell in the middle of the night, so I wanted to look after you, but unexpectedly you fell asleep. I also had a night's rest....I just have some pain in my knee, it will be fine if I warm it up for a while. Xu Mulin smiled and said,"You didn't eat anything last night. You must be hungry. I'll get you something to eat.""

"No need." Xu Qingjiu stretched out his hand and pressed it on Xu Mulin's leg."I'm not hungry, but I would like to sleep a little longer. Senior brother must not have had a sound sleep last night. Come lie down with me for a while. I'm warm under the quilt."

"...good."Xu Mulin hesitated in his heart, but he agreed like a ghost.

The two of them lay on the bed and looked at the roof, both of them quiet and silent. Xu Qingjiu slowly eased his breathing, turned his body, and pretended to take a long breath. Xu Mulin Turning her head to the side, she saw that Xu Qingjiu had fallen asleep with her eyes closed, and she calmed down, closed her eyes and fell asleep. Listening to the breathing of the person next to her becoming calmer, Xu Qingjiu slowly opened her eyes and confirmed that Xu Mulin was indeed After falling asleep, he quietly sat up, stepped over Xu Mulin's body on tiptoes and got out of bed, then gently took his clothes and went out.

Xu Mulin closed his eyes and listened to Xu Qingjiu's voice in the room until he closed the door. When the sound sounded, Xu Mulin opened his eyes, looked in the direction of the door and smiled. After straightening his legs, a numb feeling densely wrapped around every part. Xu Mulin couldn't sleep at all for a while, but unexpectedly discovered Xu Qingjiu actually learned to fake sleep and acted like him. However, seeing Xu Qingjiu so energetic, Xu Mulin finally felt relieved. After the discomfort dissipated, Xu Mulin still fell asleep in a daze. After a while, when he woke up, he found that Xu Qingjiu still hadn't come back, so he got up and went downstairs to look for it. After asking the waiter, he found out that Xu Qingjiu couldn't prepare delicious food in the kitchen, so he had to go out to find delicious food for Xu Mulin, but he didn't. He knew exactly where he went. Xu Mulin was worried that the two of them would miss him on the way, so he sat in the lobby and waited for Xu Qingjiu to come back.

"Light nine."As soon as Xu Qingjiu entered the door, she hurried upstairs with two large food boxes. She didn't notice Xu Mulin sitting beside him at all. Xu Mulin hurriedly called out to stop him.

"Senior brother," hearing a familiar voice coming from behind, Xu Qingjiu didn't stop climbing the stairs for a moment. She staggered while holding the food box on the floor and turned around to look downstairs,"I bought you a lot of good things. food."Xu Qingjiu said as she ran down the stairs carrying two large food boxes.

"Should we go back to our room to eat or should we eat here?"Xu Qingjiu raised the food box and said to Xu Mulin as if to show it.

"That's fine, I'll listen to you"

"The weather is nice today, so let's eat downstairs." Xu Qingjiu put down the food box, walked to the window and opened it. A ray of sunlight came in, and it happened to fall on the table where Xu Mulin was sitting."Look , is it familiar?"Xu Qingjiu opened the food box and took out the layers of food,"I just said that the name Yuehua Building is very familiar. Senior brother, do you still remember it? It's the one we went to in Jiangning Mansion"

"Remember...Sake"

"What's wrong?"Xu Qingjiu didn't react for a moment, thinking it was Xu Mulin calling him, and said doubtfully.

Xu Mulin just smiled and looked at Xu Qingjiu without saying anything.

After looking at Xu Mulin's expression for a while, Xu Qingjiu finally realized and followed He smiled and said,"Senior brother, is that sake you're talking about? It's just unfortunate that I asked my senior brother to drink after last time, but the store said they would start selling it later. After saying that, Xu Qingjiu looked at Xu Mulin and said sternly:"Senior brother, you went to ask me to eat last night. I was sick and fell asleep without eating. Senior brother must not have eaten by himself. I am so hungry now that I originally wanted to give it to me first." Senior brother cooked some noodles, but the result..."Xu Qingjiu raised his hand and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment,"I'm definitely not as good as senior brother in cooking, so I had to go out and buy it for him. After a delay, senior brother, hurry up and eat it. They are the ones we had in Jiangning Mansion before. , Senior brother should like it"

"Okay, thank you Qingjiu"

"Senior brother, why are you being polite to me?" Xu Qingjiu filled a bowl of soup and handed it to Xu Mulin,"Here, this chicken soup, you like it, but it's a pity that the wine is missing."

"It's okay, we have to stay in Zizhou for two days anyway, and then we can go there again"

"good."

After dinner, the two of them wanted to go out and look around and inquire about news, but the weather turned out to be unfavorable. The weather that was sunny an hour ago suddenly became dark and dark, but within the time of burning incense, it started to rain heavily.. The two of them had no choice but to go back to the room and take advantage of this time to rest for a while. After traveling for many days, they both felt that it was a bit too much for them.
