Thanks bro, you're out of shape

Chapter 74

◆04

"Hey, what kind of sugar, it's so sweet."

Xie Minxing's voice was muffled, very different from the cold appearance just now, and Pei Zijun knew that this young man was not an impenetrable city, and he was just a tightly wrapped candy, opened a little, and he revealed his original shape .

——No matter how young and old he is, he is still a child, but no one is willing to treat him as a child.

He was scratched by the boy's nasal voice, subconsciously reached into the box, trying to grab another candy.

It's a pity that he didn't grab a candy again, and he was a little annoyed that he was greedy and ate all the candy on the way. He couldn't touch the candy, but he didn't want to read the sword manual with Xie Minxing's seriousness, so he pressed his sword manual with his hand, and said with a smile , "Hey, you practice sword so hard, you must really want to become a top-notch swordsman, then have you heard the story of He Baiju, the most famous ranger in the Jianghu?"

"Huh?" Xie Minxing frowned, feeling that the name was a little familiar, but he heard the young man in brocade clothes shake his head and said, "I have nothing in my old age, only swords and idiots."

Xie Minxing was stunned, and let the young master snatch his favorite sword manual from him, and stuffed it into a story book, with the words "The Legend of the White Deer Heroes" written on the cover.

Pei Zijun blinked at him, "Good stuff. I wouldn't show it to ordinary people."

"Oh." Xie Minxing nodded, not knowing what he had done, how could He De become "two people" in the eyes of this young master.

"Oh what, today my young master will show you what Jianghu is."

Xie Minxing really listened quietly to him telling the story. The young man next to him spoke in a lazy tone and told the story upside down, but Xie Minxing said that it was the first time he knew from people's mouths what is holding a sword and defending the way? A chivalrous man, he knows that in this world, besides living, there are such people and such things.

When he was born, no one cared about him, and there was no one to guide him for a long time. After crossing thousands of miles of ice and snow, there was finally such a young man who came to hold his hand and tell him what kind of person he wanted to be.

But at that time, they were all just teenagers, they didn't understand the world, and they would encounter some problems that no one understood.

"What is joy/good?" Xie Minxing asked solemnly.

Pei Zijun scratched his head and thought for a while, "It's something grown-ups can do, and it's probably something to do for fun."

"Then what is the 'marriage ceremony'?" Xie Minxing asked again.

"Hey, why do you have so many questions... You will know when you marry a wife."

Xie Minxing didn't ask anymore, he thought, this person is really shameless, if he doesn't know and pretends to understand, he will know these things before him, will he panic when he sees it.

But the candy he stuffed into his mouth was hot and sweet, making his heart flustered.

"Is it a very happy thing?" He thought in a daze, but he couldn't figure out that there is any happy thing in life. When he was very young, he always lied to himself, saying that it would be better if he grew up a little bit. It wouldn't be so bitter, but when he got older, he still couldn't taste the sweetness, so he had to start another round of deception.

For so many years, he has trained his heart like a lone stone on a cliff. He thought he would have no expectations, but he still craves the sweetness of a piece of candy and wants to be alone.

He lowered his head and said in a barely audible voice after a long time, "Then can I be happy when I grow up? Happy with you/OK..."

Pei Zijun was stunned for a moment, then his peach blossom eyes were slightly bent, revealing two canine teeth, and said, "Of course."

The little teenagers didn't know what shameful things they were talking about, they just exchanged sweets that no one knew about.

The wind and sand outside the carriage suddenly increased in the second half of the night.

None of them got out of the carriage, but they felt the wind whispering in their ears, and Pei Zijun was a little worried looking at the chaotic sky outside the window, because his mother hadn't gone down the mountain yet.

Suddenly, Xie Minxing said, "Listen, there seems to be crying."

Pei Zijun didn't speak, he calmed down, and really heard crying, intermittently, one by one, a bit like the cry of a young child.After all, they mustered up the courage to stick their heads out, only to find that the voice came from the other side of the Lumu River.

"It's not a child, it's a fawn."

"The sandstorm is coming, and we have to lead them across the river." Xie Minxing said, deer herds in Beiman Mountain are rare, and they usually come in groups. The three deer in front of them are obviously alone. Deer are such creatures. It can be strong or it can be fragile.

But the young deer that was left alone had no choice but to die.

But the young deer didn't know that no matter how Xie Minxing lured them, they just refused to cross the river.

"Hey, I'll help you." Pei Zijun blinked at him and said, "If you're like this, they won't come with you. Look at me."

As he spoke, he rummaged through boxes and boxes on the carriage, and finally found a rope, which was thrown around the neck of the smallest deer, and he called to Xie Minxing, "Come and help me quickly. "

Xie Minxing felt that it was not good to be so rude to the deer, but he still helped him lead the deer to the other side.

He thought that the rest of the deer should be treated in the same way, but he heard Pei Zijun say, "Just watch."

The wind became tighter, and just when he thought that the other deer would run away in fright, there was no deer. They voluntarily stepped into the river and came towards the small deer.

After all the deer had crossed the river, Pei Zijun untied the smallest deer, and they ran all the way in the sandstorm to find the original deer herd.

Yes, deer are pack animals.

But Xie Minxing was not.

So he didn't know that no deer would abandon his companions. He thought for a while, feeling stupid and ridiculous, but he heard the boy in front of him say, "My mother hasn't come down yet, I want to find him."

"I will go with you."

"Can you look after the carriage for me?"

Xie Minxing didn't know what kind of difficulties he would encounter. The only thing he knew was that he wanted to go with the boy in front of him.

But he doesn't want to.

Xie Minxing could only say, "Okay."

So Pei Zijun went up the mountain alone. Before going up the mountain, he even teased and said, "You won't drive away in my carriage, will you?"

"Of course not..." Xie Minxing hadn't finished speaking when he saw the young man tearing the "Legend of the White Deer Heroes" in half, throwing the first half to him, and putting away the second half by himself, "I want to know the story behind it." Is it? Wait for me to come back."

After speaking, he disappeared into the vastness of the night road.

But later on, Xie Minxing never waited until the boy came back to finish telling the rest of the story.

No one thought that when Lu Muhe parted, they didn't know each other's names, and they didn't know who each other was, after all, it was because of fate.

Pei Zijun can't remember what happened afterwards, but when he met Xing Sanniang, he had already trekked in the sandstorm for a long time. He was supported by a pair of strong hands on his back and bumped on the carriage for a long time until I woke up when the sandstorm ended at dawn.

"Father, mother."

He didn't expect how his father would appear here, but his wayward father and mother had obviously reconciled on the road.

"Where are we?"

"On the way home, of course."

He looked out of the carriage, it was far away from Beiman Mountain, what happened yesterday was like a dream, the young deer who refused to cross the river, the stars within reach...

But he clearly still had the second half of the book that he tore open with his own hands in his arms.

His head was sore and he had to fall asleep again.

The carriage was jolting, and he heard his parents' conversation intermittently.

His father asked his mother, "Sanniang, that monk tried every means to get you out of the pass, what kind of treasure did he go to Bailumen to give?"

"Is it a sword?"

"Oh? What kind of sword?"

Young Master Pei had just experienced a turmoil and was very sleepy. She didn't hear it very clearly. Her mother said, "Snow casts frost forging, peerless..."

The carriage shook, and Young Master Pei was about to fall asleep, but suddenly he heard Jian's name.

"Oh, by the way, that sword is called... Zhihan."

◆07

Xie Minxing did not wait for Pei Zijun that night.

For many nights after that, he did not wait for Pei Zijun.

He had no choice but to wait day after day in the carriage he had left for him, and through the whole winter, he finally knew that the boy would never come back again.

He has been a beggar all his life, and he finally dug up a box of treasures, but lost it in a sandstorm.

He very much regretted not going with him.

The sandstorm was unprecedentedly severe, the boy was probably buried in the sea of ​​sand, but he did not give up hope that he might still be alive.

But no matter what, he will never know what the second half of the story of "The Legend of the White Deer Heroes" is?

Many years later, the lonely boy in the past had grown into a handsome swordsman. At Miss Tang San's wedding, a young man in brocade clothes recklessly separated from the crowd and headed towards the fox-cloaked and gray-cloaked man in the depths of the moonlight. The swordsman smiled.

"Thank you... Zhihanke."
