Zhong Li took a deep breath, and it was not as difficult as he had imagined to meet his former classmates. He never thought that one day he would be like those people said, "Don't blame me for being unrighteous if you are unkind", but when this day really came, he realized that it was nothing, and everything was so logical. Perhaps it was because his most beloved sister almost died at the hands of his most respected sect that he had the courage to do so.
Regardless of whether the senior took them in or not, he thought he could turn against the former sect for Zhong Ling. Nothing in this world is more important than his only family member, his most beloved sister.
After half a month in a row, the brothers and sisters of the Zhong family watched the shop every day. Helian Hongzhan would occasionally come out to take a look, but not many times, that is, once every three to five days, and the rest of the time he would practice behind. It's just that even if this is the case, it is enough for others to know that although Senior Mu Alchemist is not there, Senior Chi is still in the store, and no one should think about making trouble!
The shop was closed that night, Zhong Li went to the warehouse to count the elixirs, and found that the remaining elixirs were only enough for the next day, if Master Mu didn't come back, he would have to close the shop.
Zhong Li went to He Lian Hongzhan and told him about the lack of elixir. He Lian Hongzhan's reaction was very flat, and he just said that he would close the door first when he ran out.
Zhong Ling thought about posting a notice to the door tomorrow to let others know that the medicine pill is only enough to sell for one day, and if the alchemist Mu has not returned, the business will be closed the day after tomorrow, and the notice will be posted when it recovers.
During this period of time when Rong Qing was not around, Helian Hongzhan went straight to Bigu. The brothers and sisters are not cultivated enough to eat bigu, so they can only buy some food from outside. It's just that after trying the buns made by Rong Qing, I can't eat other buns anymore. I feel bad when I drink porridge, noodles, fried dough sticks, and walk on the street and smell the smell wafting from the bun shop. More than a big chunk.
At night, Helian Hongzhan was going to sleep when suddenly a black shadow flashed by the window.
Helian Hongzhan put down the quilt and walked over to open the door, a figure rushed over and threw himself into Helian Hongzhan's arms.
"Master! Do you miss the disciple? The disciple will go crazy thinking about the master!"
Helian Hongzhan raised his eyebrows, hugged Rong Qing's waist with one hand and poked the latter's nose with the other, "Then you are crazy and show me."
Rong Qing pursed his lips, tilted his head to touch Helian Hongzhan's lips, and opened his mouth to bite down. Although the strength is definitely not great, but he has two small canine teeth that are not obvious, and the teeth are relatively thin. The current strength is still a bit crisp and numb, which makes people's hearts rippling.
Helian Hongzhan sighed, this kid teased him as soon as he came back, his concentration is really not that good! Helian Hongzhan already found it very difficult to endure until Rong Qing became a baby, but now this brat still teases him from time to time, acting coquettish and cute if he doesn't let him, and then he can't resist anymore, and the three chapters of the agreement are useless. Fortunately, it's not morning, otherwise it would test his endurance more
"Okay, okay." Helian Hongzhan gently pushed Rong Qing away, his movements were not gentle. Rong Qing bit the former's lip and didn't let go, and finally let go with a giggle after Helian Hongzhan scratched the itchy flesh on his waist.
"Master, I have already refined the Shark Fragrance Pill and the Longevity Pill, more than half the time I expected. This strange fire is really powerful! When the time comes, we will send Xiaohan to find his kind, and then we will go find My father, I want to give the longevity pill to my father and Zhuang Xian."
"Who is Zhuang Xian?" Helian Hongzhan took Rong Qing's hand and sat down at the table, pouring a glass of water. I don't know if it's because he was in a hurry or because he has been refining alchemy for the past few days without eating or drinking, Rong Qing's lips are a little pale and peeling. Helian Hongzhan looked a little distressed, Rong Qing's lips were always pink and white, but not like this now. But it's late autumn, and the weather is already dry.
"Zhuang Xian almost grew up with me, and has been working with my father." Rong Qing drank water to moisten his lips, and after a few sips, his lips became pink and shiny again. He Lian Hongzhan watched His eyes were dim, and he turned his head to one side.
Rong Qing went on to say: "Before... I was a jerk and very ignorant. My father was busy with business, but I only knew how to squander the family property, and I never thought of helping him share some of it. And Zhuang Xian did it for me. It was supposed to be me. What my son should do. He is very smart, but his personality is relatively silent and indifferent. He is the typical person who talks less and does more. With his help, the family's tea business is very good! In fact, if it weren't for that period of time he would I went to Qiongzhou to discuss business for my father. If we were not here, we would not be framed, and Liu Xingzi's family would slap the bottom of the pot. If he was there, this kind of thing would never have happened. He is ashamed of Zhuang Xian's business acumen. The family was backward and we dismissed some people. Only Zhuang Xian and Chang Song stayed. But it’s sincere. To be honest, if he didn’t help me take care of my father, I really wouldn’t be able to go to Lingyun so happily.”
"Is he a relative of your family or something?"
"A relative is not considered a relative, he is the same as me, he was picked up by my father, but I was still a baby when my father picked me up, but Zhuang Xian was already sensible when he was picked up, I can’t remember exactly how old I was at that time, anyway, Zhuang Xian was one year older than me. Although we can be regarded as growing up together, but the relationship is not good. It was when I was a bit of a jerk, Zhuang Xian was that kind of particularly strong He is a capable person, so he always dislikes the way I eat and wait to die, and I also don't like him who is always serious, basically just keeping the same water. It wasn't until my... temperament changed that our relationship improved. I asked him to take my father and leave Xiaoling Mountain, lest they will use my father to blackmail me if I and Ling Yunzhen fight in the future."
Rong Qing took out from his bosom a pack of five-spice peanuts he bought on the way back, picked them up one by one and threw them into his mouth, looking quite indifferent, but his eyes were cold.
Helian Hongzhan could see that Rong Qing should settle the matter with Ling Yun after Xiaohan's matter was settled and the pills were delivered to his father.
Rong Qing turned to look at Helian Hongzhan, and took the latter's hand on his knee with one hand, "Master, you asked me about the enmity between you and Zhenxuzi, and you can tell the master that you committed suicide with Zhenxuzi." Vengeance! The disciple died once, at the hands of Zhen Xuzi, and it was in an extremely painful and tragic way! The pain was unforgettable for the disciple. For a long time, I always dreamed about how I died When I woke up, my whole body was in pain, as if my body had remembered the pain, no matter where I was and what I experienced, I couldn’t get rid of that pain until later... with Master’s The closer the relationship is, the less it will be.”
Helian Hongzhan froze, he was still digesting what he had just heard, and even for a moment he thought he had heard it wrong or imagined it. What is revenge? What does it mean to die once? What kind of pain is it that you don't even let go of it when you are dreaming? Can it still hurt like that after waking up? Helian Hongzhan was wondering whether these words had other meanings? Did he get it wrong
However, when he met Rong Qing's eyes, the light that seemed to be tempered from the flames of endless pain, he suddenly understood why Rong Qingming was always so mature sometimes when he was young next year. The killing intent towards Zhenxuzi was so strong that it almost condensed into substance! Died in an unimaginably painful way, how could this hatred not be imprinted in the blood
The heart pumped together as if it had shrunk, Helian Hongzhan bent down slightly in pain, his precious Rong Qing actually suffered such a big crime when he didn't know it, and suffered so much in a place he couldn't see. How bitter! Thinking of Rong Qing's words just now, he felt that he could hardly bear it.
He Lian Hongzhan didn't ask Rong Qing how he was reborn since he died once, he wouldn't mind even if it was a ghost in front of him now, all he knew was that this was his apprentice! He is his only apprentice, and the one he wants to protect forever! He will never let Rong Qing suffer again! Never again!
Rong Qing was ready, if Helian Hongzhan asked him how he came back to life since he was dead at this time, he would tell the whole story about himself! He didn't want to hide anymore, and he really felt that there was no need to continue to hide. He can die for Helian Hongzhan, what secrets can't be revealed
In the past, I didn't want to put pressure on Helian Hongzhan, I didn't want my burden to be on Helian Hongzhan's body. But now Rong Qing has figured it out, if Helian Hongzhan also has a blood feud, he thinks he must want to know. From his own point of view, he loves this person so much that he cannot extricate himself, and he hopes to help him share any pressure. His enemy is his own enemy, and they can face everything together.
Then in turn, Helian Hongzhan must be the same.
However, Rong Qing didn't wait for Helian Hongzhan's question before being embraced warmly by Bao. This embrace is not soft, but very tough and strong, which makes him feel very at ease and at ease.
Rong Qing grabbed the clothes behind Helian Hongzhan's waist with both hands, lowered his head and pressed against the latter's chest, "Master..."
Helian Hongzhan didn't say anything or ask anything, just hugged Rong Qing like this, and rubbed his chin against Rong Qing's ear. It was just such a simple little action, but Rong Qing felt that his heart was comforted.
The flames of hatred that had just been stirred up again because of the memories of the past seemed to be extinguished by the gentle spring rain. Although there are still sparks beating tenaciously in the depths of the ashes, the burning feeling has indeed disappeared.
Slowly calming down, Rong Qing's hand that was only holding the clothes slowly relaxed, changing it into an embrace. His head rubbed against Helian Hongzhan's chest, as if all his troubles could be wiped away like this.
