The cock crows three times, and the morning starts to sign the bell.
Yan Shu woke up early, sat on the bed, looked up at the hole in the roof, Gui Po disappeared, and Qinghui was no longer seen.
Outside the hole, the sky is slightly bright, and the dawn sky is pale.
Yan Shu tidied up the house, packed his bags, and closed the door.
There was no one in the courtyard, it was quiet, and there were withered yellow leaves falling all over the ground.
Yan Shu walked all the way to the hall, passed by the west courtyard, his pace gradually slowed down, but he still didn't stop.
Qin Jueming and Yan Shu had breakfast together, and together with Uncle Zhao, they sent him to the gate of the courtyard.
Uncle Zhao brought the horse and handed the reins to Yan Shu.
Qin Jueming put his hands behind his back, although there was reluctance in his eyes, but he was more proud: "Going to the south of the Yangtze River, we must pay attention to safety."
Maybe even Qin Jueming didn't realize it, he had said this to Yan Shu countless times.
"When you arrive in Jiangnan, you can meet my spy first, but he has a special status, and it may not be convenient for him to recognize you." Qin Jueming said.
Yan Shu nodded: "Father, Li Changtian..."
"Don't worry, as long as he walks upright and sits upright, I won't make things difficult for him." Qin Jueming said.
"Please adoptive father..." Yan Shu considered for a while, then continued, "put away your prejudices and take care of him, he... is actually a loyal and kind-hearted person."
Qin Jueming was stunned for a long time before nodding his head: "Okay."
Yan Shu saluted, took the bag on his shoulders, and bid farewell to Qin Jueming and Zhao Boyi reluctantly.
In the town, Yan Shu dared not ride a horse for fear of disturbing the people along the road.
He led the horse like this and walked all the way out of the town.
Passing by the bustling city streets, there are jugglers moving boxes of props, planning to wait until Sishi, when more people pass by, they start shouting.
Yan Shu couldn't help but recall that the day he and Li Changtian first arrived in Shuofang, Li Changtian jumped up and down in the crowd, and finally trotted back to him, and said to him with a face full of surprise and excitement.
"Damn it, they can really smash boulders in their chests! There's that one who spins a plate on stilts, and that one! That fire-breathing one is amazing! It's so exciting! The master is among the people!"
Yan Shu actually didn't like those noisy street juggling, but after Li Changtian talked with him that day, Yan Shu suddenly felt that these juggling seemed quite interesting.
Yan Shu came back to his senses in a daze, and looked at the jugglers again. It was still early and the streets were empty. Even Yan Shu felt deserted.
Yan Shu lowered his eyes, led the horse and continued to walk outside the town.
Seeing that he was about to leave the town, Yan Shu passed a medical clinic.
Someone in the medical hall was treating injuries, howling like a pig: "Doctor!! Take it easy!!"
Yan Shu suddenly remembered that Li Changtian was also afraid of pain, and occasionally yelled twice when he was taking medicine, but he wouldn't yell so badly, with such a magical voice piercing his ears.
He just gritted his teeth, grimaced, frowned, and tried his best to endure.
I couldn't bear it anymore, so I said: "Hey! Brother! My brother! Lighten up, lighten up!"
Yan Shu has always been curious about where the limit of Li Changtian's patience lies.
Because the pain of taking the vermilion pill was much more painful than taking the medicine, Li Changtian at that time did not beg for mercy.
Later, Yan Shu gradually found out.
This boundary does not lie with Li Changtian, but with him.
If that day, he said to Li Changtian: "If it hurts, just tell me, I will take it easy."
When Li Changtian applied the medicine, he would howl a few times.
But what if he said: "It will hurt a little, bear with it."
Even if Li Changtian was trembling with pain, he would not make a sound.
Now Li Changtian's body is full of wounds from torture, and he has to apply medicine for several days. I don't know if Li Changtian will tell the doctor that he is afraid of pain.
Yan Shu came to his senses again and found that he had already left the town.
Suburbs, official roads, mountain roads where oak leaves fall, and hovenia japonica bright post walls.
Yan Shu turned his head and glanced at the thick city wall of Shuofang, then got on his horse, flicked the reins, and headed south.
Yan Shu rode his horse and galloped along the official road. Suddenly, he thought of Li Changtian again.
Thinking of the time when the two of them left Chuyu Town, they bought a horse for Li Changtian.
Li Changtian took the rein, smiled and said to him, "I don't know how to ride."
Yan Shu taught him patiently, Li Changtian studied very seriously and quickly, and within half a day, he had mastered the essentials.
That day, when Li Changtian started galloping, Yan Shu was worried that he would fall off, so he rode behind him all the way.
Suddenly, Li Changtian turned his head while riding a horse, smiled excitedly at him and said: "I will!!!"
Fengshen's handsome young man's smile is bright and open, unrestrained, like a spring breeze, and his thoughts are boundless now.
That was Yan Shu's first memory of the words "someone walking with me".
Yan Shu, who was galloping alone on the official road, suddenly tightened the reins and stopped the horse under him.
Yan Shu suddenly realized that there was one thing he might have thought wrong.
When watching the moon yesterday, Li Changtian asked him.
"Why did you take me to Jiangnan?"
he answered.
"Because I'm afraid that my adoptive father will torture you again."
Is it really
Was he really afraid that Qin Jueming would torture Li Changtian again, that's why he insisted on taking Li Changtian to Jiangnan
