The person in the world who is most unlikely to accuse Murong Chuyi is Yue Chenqing.
He had admired Murong Chuyi since he was a child, and loved this unrelated uncle. It is precisely because of this that he, a young master in brocade clothes and jade food, is willing to follow Xi He Jun to the Liao Kingdom in the north, and is willing to bury his head in various volumes, trying to find traces of the fairy medicine that can cure all diseases.
He already knew that he was wrong about running to Bat Island privately, but no matter how he apologized, Murong Chuyi did not soften at all. In the end, she even said such heart-wrenching words to Jiang Yexue, who had exchanged blood to save him. Yue Chenqing's heart couldn't help but feel extremely chaotic and uncomfortable.
"... Fourth Uncle... I know I'm not good, I'm too stupid and too impulsive... I really just want to see that you are well, you don't tell me anything, I have no choice but to look around... I'm sorry, I didn't find the medicine for you, and I made trouble for you... but you... but you... "
Eyelashes closed, tears rustled.
"Why don't you even listen to my explanation..."
"You said my life was bought by my aunt, and you said Jiang... You said he was a bastard... But he didn't want to be born by a concubine either... I didn't want to kill my aunt as soon as I was born! Why do you blame us? Fourth uncle, I respect you and love you. After so many years, I think everything you say is right, and I like everything you do, but do you really look back at me? !"
Yue Chenqing cried, "You really... have you really seen me as your nephew even once?"
Jiang Yexue whispered: "Chen Qing, forget it, Chu Yi he—"
Murong Chuyi's face was pale and gloomy, and he interrupted Jiang Yexue's words abruptly. His glazed eyes stared at Yue Chenqing's face, and the words were ground to shreds: "You let him speak!"
Jiang Yexue: "..."
Yue Chenqing wiped away her tears, lowered her head and sobbed for a long time, and muttered sadly: "...I won't say it...I, I shouldn't be mad at Fourth Uncle...I shouldn't talk back to Fourth Uncle..."
He seemed to want to calm himself down slowly, so he kept repeating the words "should not collide with fourth uncle". But muttering, muttering, in the end, he still raised his hand and buried his face.
The cry was like the whimper of a cub: "Would you rather I never be born..."
Murong Chuyi: "..."
"My mother is gone, I'm not Murong Huang, I'm Yue Chenqing!"
The atmosphere in the cave was extremely stiff, and anyone could see that Murong Chuyi had been agitated by the extreme emotions in his chest, his limbs were trembling, and his porcelain jade-like face was slightly red and pale. fingers clenched into fists. He looked at Yue Chenqing, then at Jiang Yexue, and finally closed his eyes and gritted his teeth, "Okay... okay."
After a few moments, Murong Chuyi opened her sharp phoenix eyes, her wet red eyes swept across the two of them fiercely, Han Guang suppressed all her sadness: "I've finished listening to your explanation. I won't teach you Yue Chenqing. "
His palm was about to bleed from his fingertips, but he still raised his chin slightly, forcing himself to be cold and calm.
"Just do it yourself."
After speaking, he turned around and walked away.
Jiang Yexue said, "Uncle!"
Seeing Murong Chuyi's expression, Yue Chenqing seemed to have woken up from a tragic nightmare. The tears on his face were not dry, and looked at his back in a dazed and bewildered way: "Fourth Uncle..."
But Murong Chuyi had already taken care of himself out of the cave, and even Gu Mang and Mo Xi who were standing at the entrance of the cave, he thought he hadn't seen them, their faces were as pale as snow on a winter night, and he left without looking back.
The house was silent for a while. After a long while, Mo Xi broke the silence.
"...Why did you suddenly make such a fuss?"
"..." Jiang Yexue sighed, "As soon as Chenqing woke up, my uncle lost his temper at him and asked him why he came to Bat Island alone, Chenqing explained that he was looking for medicine for him, he... alas, he felt It's not worth it, so I got angry and blamed Chen Qing for being ignorant.... My uncle has this temperament, he has no malicious intentions. I'm sorry, the matter of the Yue family... I made you laugh."
Mo Xi didn't know what to say about the chicken feathers in this place. He didn't like to be nosy by nature, so he paused and said, "It's too dangerous outside, I'll go get Murong Xun back."
"Hey—" Gu Mang grabbed him.
"What's wrong?"
"That beauty won't go far, he's very smart, he just wants to be quiet, you didn't see his face when he went out." Gu Mang glanced at Yue Chenqing and the others, using a voice that only Mo Xi could hear. He said softly, "He's about to cry. Going to find him at this time will save his face more and more, and let him stay outside for a while."
"..." Mo Xi was taken aback, who was crying? Murong Chuyi
Didn't he go out fiercely
Although Mo Xi didn't see any fragile expression on Murong Chuyi's face, Gu Mang had always been much more sensitive than him. Since Gu Mang said so, although he didn't agree, he no longer insisted.
But Jiang Yexue was still worried: "My little uncle, I'm afraid he is alone..."
"Don't worry." Gu Mang entered the cave and waved his hands, "You guys have a little rest, and after a while, he'll calm down, and I'll go out to find him. Then we'll set off for Chonghua."
Jiang Yexue was startled: "Have you found a breakthrough in the barrier?"
"Of course. You don't even think about who I am and how good I am."
Since Gu Mang had said so, Jiang Yexue knew that she really shouldn't be pulling Murong Chuyi back at this time. So I had to sigh and let it go.
They were tidying up in the cave. Gu Mang was the most leisurely, leaning against the cave wall to rest, turning out a magic dagger to play with his slender fingers. Halfway through the game, he suddenly noticed that two pairs of hesitant eyes were quietly staring at him, Gu Mang lowered his head and met the big eyes of Yu Min's fluffy.
Rongrong didn't expect that Gu Mang would suddenly notice it, and wanted to turn away, but it was too late.
Gu Mang smiled and said, "Little beauty, why are you still peeking at me?"
"You, you..." Rongrong blushed, hesitated for a while, and muttered softly, "Brother Gu Mang, can I tell you something quietly?"
"OK."
Rongrong hesitated for a while: "... how come you suddenly smell like that brother? And... it's very heavy."
Gu Mang flexibly turned his dagger's finger and stopped, and said in a daze, "Who?"
Rongrong didn't say a word, but she secretly looked at Mo Xi who was watching Yue Chenqing's injury.
"..." Gu Mang froze for a moment, then his pupils darkened. He curled up with a smile on his lips, "...Oh, he. It's normal, we just got close before."
"No, no, you seem to—"
Gu Mang covered her mouth with a smile, patted her head by the way, and leaned close to her ear: "Okay, I know what your feathermen are capable of, I have demon blood on me, your sense of smell for demons. And very sensitive, right? But little beauty, demons and people are different in the end, when you stay with us, you have to learn some people's rules - some things, if you know it, it's best to pretend you don't know it. Be good. "
Hearing the movement, Mo Xi turned his head sideways: "What are you doing?"
Gu Mang let go and smiled, "It's nothing, just teasing the little girl."
After he finished speaking, he raised his hand and flicked his forehead lightly on the flaming forehead: "Remember my words, and prepare to leave the island with us."
What happened next went smoothly. Murong Chuyi really wasn't a reckless person, and he didn't go too far. Gu Mang quickly found him under a peach blossom tree who was closing his eyes and resting. After coaxing him back, according to the information Gu Mang had obtained before, they quickly found the weak point of the enchantment.
Standing in the whistling sea breeze, Jiang Yexue turned to Murong Chuyi and said, "Little uncle, your body is still very weak, why don't you sit in my nuclear boat together..."
Murong Chuyi's response was to raise his hand to pick up the flowers, transforming into his own painting boat, and without looking back, he opened the bamboo curtain and walked in.
Jiang Yexue: "..."
Yue Chenqing was wrapped in a heavy fur coat, and a pair of dark eyes looked at his back quite nervously.
Although his fourth uncle usually doesn't care about him, Yue Chenqing is not stupid, he can feel that this time is different, Murong Chuyi is really cold.
The child was feeling sad, Jiang Yexue patted his head and sighed, "Don't look, let's go."
It is not difficult to break through the defenses of Bat Island and leave here silently. The two nuclear boats broke out of the cloud, and when the patrolling Bat Jing noticed, it was also difficult to chase. The group rode the Ben Yufeng, leaving Bat Island far behind, and flew away from the island.
Gu Mang also carried Feather Down on the boat, and when he reached the depths of the sea of clouds, he took her out of the cabin, and then knelt down halfway to be level with her, and said to her:
"Jiuhua Mountain is under here, girl cashmere, you can go home."
"Really, really?!" Rongrong leaned on the side of the ship in excitement and looked down, and she saw that there were green mountains with green hills emerging under the vast clouds, and the brilliance of Featherman's enchantment was faintly revealed. She couldn't help blushing, and she stared at it for a while, then turned her head and said, "Thank you, thank you big brothers..."
"Big brother?" Gu Mang smiled, "You can also call us big brother. Although you are older than us, you look younger than us. I don't blame you."
Jiang Yexue said, "Young lady relieved Chenqing, you are already kind to me, how can you dare to accept another word of thanks from the girl?" After saying that, she bowed, "Miss, take care of yourself."
Rongrong was eager to return to her hometown. After saying goodbye to them again, glowing golden-red wings grew from her back, leaped lightly into the sea of clouds, circled the two nuclear boats a few times, and then moved towards the green cypress. Fly into the depths of Huashan.
Gu Mang watched as her back was slowly engulfed in the golden light, and finally disappeared. He couldn't help sighing, "Okay, the people have been saved and the poison has been cured, so I can finally go back and have a good rest."
After he finished speaking, he added vigilantly: "You can't betray me. I plan to continue acting as a fool after returning to Chonghua, as I said before."
Yue Chenqing stood by the mast, wearing a thick fur coat, staring blankly at the painting boat of Murong Chuyi in the distance, he didn't know Gu Mang's condition very well, he turned around hesitantly after hearing the words: "... What did you say?"
Seeing that Gu Mang was about to speak, Jiang Yexue said, "I'll explain it to him. You guys were tired all night last night. Go to the cabin early to rest, and when you get to Wangcheng, you have to return to your lord."
Gu Mang said, "Then can you change rooms with Xi and Jun, you sleep with me, and Xi and Jun sleep in other cabins."
Jiang Yexue hesitated, "You two quarreled again?"
"Why don't you keep arguing? It's not easy." Gu Mang said with a smile, "Look, I hate him so much that his teeth are itchy, and he looks so beautiful, in case I, the perverted devil of the Liao Kingdom, would take it on a whim, He raped, then killed, then raped and then killed, so what should I do?"
Mo Xi: "..."
Jiang Yexue: "..."
"What? It's inconvenient? If it's really inconvenient, forget it. I'll go to Mr. Murong's boat to make do with one night."
Jiang Yexue immediately said, "What's the inconvenience, my uncle is in a bad mood, don't bother him again." He smiled slightly at Gu Mang, "Brother Gu, just do whatever you want."
"Brother Jiang, you've been good at talking for ten years." Gu Mang blinked at him, and the smile rose from the end of his eyes, and then he lifted the bamboo curtain and let himself go into the cabin.
Mo Xi was silent for a moment and said, "...Then I'm leaving too."
Yue Chenqing was completely dumbfounded, and stammered, "He, what happened to them?"
"It's a long story, if you don't dislike it and want to hear what I have to say, I'll tell you slowly." Jiang Yexue moved her fingertips to stop the wheelchair beside Yue Chenqing, "Chenqing, are you willing? Do you mind me?"
"I..." Yue Chenqing looked at Murong Chuyi's boat in the sea of clouds, and then lowered her head to catch a glimpse of Jiang Yexue's injured hand, and finally lowered her head, "...I'm sorry. It was I who caused you trouble."
Jiang Yexue sighed and said, "I know that your trip was a good intention, not a wicked act, and my uncle must also know that, but he has always been like this when he is in a hurry, don't think he doesn't care about you. "
Yue Chenqing bowed her head dejectedly and said nothing.
"You've apologized many times. Let the past be in the past, and don't be so reckless in the future. Otherwise, your father, your uncle, and my uncle... and me, we will all be worried. you."
Jiang Yexue said, ordered two little clay figurines to bring cushions and snacks, and said to Yue Chenqing, "Sit down, your body has just recovered, eat something, and eat the sweet flower cake, and you will feel better. Try it."
The morning breeze was blowing on Yue Chenqing's forehead, he sat down according to the words, glanced at the crooked-eyed little clay figurine who brought the cakes, said thank you again, and then took the flower cake and bit it.
After eating half of it, he looked up hesitantly and said, "That..."
"Um?"
"Crossing the blood... does it hurt? The scar on your hand looks deep, I, I have medicine... "
"You have medicine, I also have medicine." Jiang Yexue smiled, her eyes were like two pools of gardenias falling, and ripples soaked in dark fragrance swayed, "Don't worry, it doesn't hurt, neither will I. It's your fault, you don't have to be so tense when you talk to me."
Yue Chenqing's eyes were a little red, and his head was almost buried in his chest: "I'm sorry..."
Jiang Yexue sighed: "Silly boy, why are you apologizing again?"
"I, I treated you like that before, you still... still help me like this. I... I feel very sorry." Yue Chenqing said, the thin red spread from the ear to the cheek, embarrassed and embarrassed, "I also said on behalf of the fourth uncle. Sorry, we… we shouldn't have said that to you."
He put down the flower cake, hesitated for a while, and raised his black and white clear eyes: "Jiang... uh, Elder Qingxu, thank you."
After all, he still didn't call him Big Brother Jiang Yexue, but at least he didn't call him "Hello," or by his first name. Jiang Yexue smiled, and that smile was like beads of water, like a wind blowing flowers, and like the goose feathers fluttering across the river in the middle of the night.
"I don't blame you, and of course I don't blame him." Jiang Yexue said softly, "I've lost a lot of people, my mother, my wife... family. Some things may be a little bit clearer than you, except for life and death. It's not a big deal, I won't care if I can. And he... He's actually pretty good, at least he didn't bully me when he was in Yuefu before."
Yue Chenqing said, "Do you still want to go back to Yuefu?"
"I'm teaching in the school now, and the disciples are all very cute." Jiang Yexue turned her head and smiled, "It doesn't matter whether you go back or not."
Yue Chenqing sighed softly: "You have such a good temper, if Fourth Uncle could be as good-"
"Then he's not Murong Chuyi anymore." Jiang Yexue smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about that. When he calms down, you can talk to him again. Weren't you curious about Gu Mang? I'll tell you."
Yue Chenqing nodded, dragged the cushion, and sat closer to Jiang Yexue.
Jiang Yexue's voice was as warm as running water: "Have you heard of the Time Mirror..."
After talking about some encounters, the sun was already high, and Jiang Yexue took out a delicate but very old little dripper from his arms. He looked down and said, "It's almost time. Before you arrive at the royal city, you should go to rest first. Remember to help Brother Gu keep a secret. We promised him."
When Yue Chenqing went to sleep, Jiang Yexue ordered the little clay figurine to clean up the cushions and leftover refreshments on the ground. Looking at Murong Chuyi's boat. Suddenly, the bamboo strip curtain of Murong Chuyi's painting boat was rolled up, revealing the sullen face of the man inside.
Murong Chuyi seemed to be troubled. She originally wanted to open the curtains to breathe, but before she could breathe, she saw Jiang Yexue looking at him through the sea of clouds.
Murong Chuyi: "..."
"Uncle..." Jiang Yexue smiled at him, her gentle and infinite face soaked in the bright golden sunlight, and then she twisted her fingertips slightly, and a paper crane turned out and flew towards the bamboo window of Murong Chuyi's painting boat.
Murong Chuyi slammed down the curtain without any hesitation.
Jiang Yexue raised her eyebrows slightly, with a sure look, she didn't mind, shook her head, and returned to her cabin.
The cabin is quiet. Gu Mang was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.
Jiang Yexue didn't pay attention to him at first, but just glanced at him, wanting to take a bath. However, after pushing the wheelchair for a distance, he suddenly smelled a faint scent of saponin in the air.
Jiang Yexue couldn't help but startled: Huh? Gu Mang just took a shower
Going to the back of the screen again, it turned out that the tub and the soap horn had been used. Jiang Yexue could not help frowning slightly, and a vague and uncertain suspicion rose in her heart.
You must know that Gu Mang is notoriously lazy. Usually, he doesn't like to take a bath before going to bed, but likes to take a shower when he wakes up in the morning. Jiang Yexue and him used to be brothers in the same robe, and Gu Mang's habit is very clear to him. of. Why did he suddenly change his interest and want to wash before going to bed
Jiang Yexue silently came to Gu Mang's bedside, leaned on the back of the wheelchair, and looked at Gu Mang twice. The first time, he didn't notice anything unusual. On the second time, he suddenly realized something and paused abruptly. His dark brown eyes slowly turned and landed on Gu Mang's unremoved hair tie.
It was a ribbon with a black background and a gold edge—
Xihejun's hairband? !
