Chapter 38 Southern Border

12.

"Zixi!"

Sad emotions accumulated in his chest, Chu Rui quickly opened his eyes and sat up in shock, feeling lingering fear.

Rubbing his still aching back, he raised his eyes to look around the silent and dark surroundings, and recognized that this was the house arranged for him by his mother-in-law Chunyu.Checking his back carefully, Chu Rui was a little startled, and he didn't know how long he had slept, and the wound on his back had healed more than half.

Where is Zixi?

The door was pushed open with a babble, and the old man was standing outside holding a candle. Maybe he rushed over after hearing Chu Rui's shout, and stared straight at Chu Rui.

"Master..."

"Do you think you are a god? Or a saint?" The old man's face looked unusually peaceful in front of the flickering candlelight: "You don't have to save him at all, isn't it great to sacrifice yourself for others?"

Chu Rui hated him when he opened his mouth, and was speechless for a while, just shaking his head.

The old man snorted, and put the candle on the small table next to him: "It's been more than half a year as a teacher, I haven't used needles and medicines for people, and the craftsmanship is not good, so you can make do with it, let you hurt, look at it." Can you have a longer memory..."

Seeing the old man's movements, Chu Rui paused in his heart.

"Master, can you tell your apprentice...how is Zixi?"

A trace of disdain flashed in the old man's eyes: "He made you like this, why are you still worried about him?"

Made him like this the apprentice who has been loving since he was a child, and still expect him to treat each other with kind words?Everyone in the world knows that he protects his shortcomings, and also knows that the hall masters of all dynasties in Fushen have protected his weaknesses. They all think about how to protect their apprentices.

"Master!" Chu Rui knew that Master would be dissatisfied with Zixi, but he didn't know anything now, so he was worried, so he begged him, "Can't you tell me?"

The room fell into silence, the old man stared at Chu Rui's firm eyes, showing a trace of helplessness: "Run away."

Ran?

Chu Rui was stunned for a moment, and then heard the old man say: "I was almost frightened by your miserable situation. I sent you here and ran away. I didn't see him again after I settled you down for my teacher."

Recalling Zixi's hysterical appearance is really not very reassuring. After running out like this, she doesn't know where she sleeps, what she eats, and whether she has met the Tianyin sect again.

What's even more frightening is that he doesn't know if Zixi will get sick again and hurt herself...

What should I do if I am not careful and look like that day?

Anxious in his heart, the pain in Chu Rui's back was particularly obvious when he was excited, so he had to hold his back and endure it.

"Master, how long have I been asleep?" he asked.

"More than ten days, it should be more than a month." The old man scratched his head guilty.

More than ten days?How can it be so long?Didn't the pain wake him up on weekdays?

What did Chu Rui realize: "Master?"

"It's me. For you, your master, I have to worry about so much." The old man scratched his head trying to hide his guilty conscience: "I did it for your own good, if this pain continues...you are in so much pain over and over again."

"Master!"

Chu Rui shouted.

The old man may have seen the disappointment in Chu Rui's eyes, so he decided to go all out, and roared at Chu Rui: "Yes! I planted the ecstasy grass for you every day to let you continue to sleep and ignore him! If you know that he ran away You must chase him regardless of your injuries! Helping him change his life as a teacher is to make you feel better, not to let him hurt you like this! Why don't you let him run away this time and never come back again!"

"My teacher told you to be careful about Mo Zixi at the beginning!" The old man said with a look of resentment, "It's fine if he can't think about it himself! You also paid yourself in, aren't you stupid? "

Chu Rui frowned when he heard his words, pulled off the quilt and fell to his knees with a plop.

The old man snorted, even though he was still worried about his back injury, he didn't want to put on an appearance of compromise, and said fiercely, "What's the matter?"

"I know that Master has always been against it." Chu Rui closed his eyes: "But I can't just let him go."

We promised not to abandon each other, the sea will dry up and the rocks will rot until we die.

We promised.

We swear.

we will be together forever……

With such deep love, how could it be possible to just let it go?

Maybe the old man knew that he could not persuade him anymore. Changing Zixi's life before was the best proof that he had compromised. He just didn't understand why Chu Rui was always troubled by love.

The subject was still a brat who was still young.

What was even more indignant was that Mo Zixi, a brat... died!

Thoughts drifted back to many years ago.

"I just like him...I can't stop myself." Mo Zixi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the old man. Facing the other's eyes, he wanted to shrink himself to a place where he couldn't see.

He can relax when facing Chu Rui, but it's different when facing others.

Mo Zixi has always been used to wrapping up her heart so that others can't see it.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, looking at him with some scrutiny: "The successor of the Piao Miao sword... there is a shameless person like you."

shameless.

Mo Zixi immediately felt it was ridiculous.

"Yes, I'm so shameless..." He smiled: "It's not unreasonable to stain the eyes of the seniors, so the juniors will leave first."

The old man lowered his eyes. He always thought that Mo Zixi was just saying that he was in love with Chu Rui on a whim. How did he know that Mo Zixi's brain was so hot for so long.

Maybe until the moment before he died, he was thinking about everything about Chu Rui...

"You know what it means to be a teacher." The old man snorted again, still worried that Chu Rui's wounds would not be enough to kneel, his eyes slowly drifted out of the window: "I don't want to care about you two, but he Hurt you too much."

"Teacher knows." The pain in Chu Rui's back gradually deepened, and he took a breath.

So stubborn, really like his mother.

The old man sighed helplessly, feeling that it was meaningless to go on like this, so he simply said: "If you count the days, he should go to Jueming Ridge. If you want to go, take care of yourself before you go. Those monsters and ghosts won't do anything to him for the time being. You go away." The waterway will be there in a few days, so you don’t have to torment yourself.”

Hearing that he was willing to tell him about Zixi's whereabouts, Chu Rui raised his eyes slightly, and said with a slight smile, "I thank Master..."

"No need, get up quickly." The old man grabbed the candle and said, "Lie back for me, without my permission, if you dare to go out, as a teacher, I will curse that kid Mo Zixi tomorrow."

As if grabbing his braid, the old man walked out of the room contentedly.

The door was gently closed, and Chu Rui crawled back to the bed with difficulty, with all kinds of thoughts in his mind and no sleepiness.

Zixi would go to Jueming Ridge probably because she wanted to find out what the forbidden technique on her body was all about. What Chu Rui was afraid of was that if Tianyin and the group persuaded Zixi to pass on the blood of the forbidden technique on her body to What do they do.

In his mind, Zixi was a little silly.

I don't know if I will be deceived by those lunatics.

I regret it and dare not come back to find him...

Zixi is also a bit stubborn, although every time he coaxes him a little, he forgets why he is angry, it's just that he always knows that Zixi doesn't want to see himself sad.

If he really loses his temper, he still doesn't know if there is any chance of winning by pretending to be pitiful.

In Chu Rui's heart, there is really no difference between Mo Zixi and Zixi, he just died once and came back, with the scars he had left on him, but he has completely forgotten their pain .

Chu Rui told herself, it's okay, let's forget about the bad ones.

You don't have to remember that you used to be Mo Zixi from the Xiaoyao Sword Sect who was full of scars.

You are mine alone.

It's just my son Xi.

Regardless of spring, summer, winter in the sky, flowers blooming on the horizon, you will always be by my side.

He had to make up for the harm done to Zixi by his unwillingness to face his inner self ten years ago.

After the confession in Fusheng ten years ago, Mo Zixi really didn't appear again in the next time, and the Qingfengtang in the four seasons of the year seemed particularly deserted.

The mountain flowers all over the sky did not expect Mo Zixi to come.

Chu Rui didn't clean up the room for him this time either.

Chu Rui didn't want to admit that he was sad, so he grabbed the medicine box and planned to go down the mountain alone for a free consultation. Without any accident, he caught a glimpse of the small flower lantern that he had hidden well in the cabinet, and finally couldn't help breaking it with one hand.

The lantern fell to the ground with a choking sound, as if his heart had shattered into countless pieces and could never recover. Chu Rui looked at the smashed lantern, and tears fell from the corners of his eyes instantly.

Didn't you say you like me, why don't you hold on longer.

Persist for a little longer, maybe he won't be able to control himself...

Obedience to morality or obedience to oneself?

Although he thought so in his heart, Chu Rui swept the lantern into the backyard the next day, pretending that he had forgotten it, and packed up his mood to go down to the mountain for free consultation.

In order not to hurt the scene, Chu Rui crossed Hehua Town and went up to solve some minor ailments for the villagers in the small village along the way. Realizing that he was approaching the boundary of Wan Poison Sect, he was about to turn back.

Qianye Forest, the edge of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect.

Chu Rui spent a lot of time doing free clinics outside this time, unknowingly wanting to escape from the empty Breeze Hall. In a blink of an eye, it was autumn, and the leaves in Qianye Forest fell one after another, just like the autumn separation a year ago.

He and Mo Zixi hadn't seen each other for a year.

Chu Rui stood outside Qianye Forest for a long time, and finally wanted to turn around and leave this place, when suddenly the sound of fighting came from the forest.

Martial arts practitioners are always very sensitive to the sound of fighting, and for some reason, Chu Rui thought he was dazed, but actually thought it sounded like the sound of Mo Zixi's Shuixiu sword unsheathing and dancing in his hand.

Probably... sword intent.

There was a pause in his footsteps, and Chu Rui ran into Qianye Forest without thinking too much. Even if he might put himself in an extremely dangerous situation, he still had no hesitation.

Chu Rui finally met Mo Zixi.

Shuixiu sword was unsheathed, and Mo Zixi stabbed the vitals of a person beside him with a wave of the sword. She held the sword intent in her palm and slapped it down. Countless sword intents rushed towards dozens of people behind, instantly cutting off their lives.

Piao Miao swordsmanship, takes human life in an instant, and kills every move.

Mo Zixi faced tens of masters of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, but he was the only one who survived without accident.

Standing in the distance, Chu Rui could only see the indifference in Mo Zixi's eyes and the appearance that his whole body was covered with other people's blood, and he was suddenly stunned by this scene in his heart.

This was Mo Zixi whom he had never seen before.

The Mo Zixi he knew was a young man like the bright moon who was favored by the heavens. Although he was a bit annoying and even liked to tease him a little bit, but the person in front of him who had blood on his hands and tried to kill him...

Chu Rui couldn't match him up with that Mo Zixi who followed behind him in the floating life and kept saying that he liked him.

My heart suddenly hurts.

Mo Zixi looked up and saw Chu Rui standing in the distance, his expressionless eyes were finally stained with color.

"Chu Rui?" Seeing Chu Rui this time, Mo Zixi was a little surprised. He quickly looked around and sized himself up, feeling more and more uneasy.

Corpses all over the floor and his blood-stained clothes.

Inevitably, he ended up...meeting him at the worst possible time.

"They are all villains on the list of villains." Mo Zixi lowered his head in a panic and said to himself, "I..."

me what?Why is he explaining?Mo Zixi asked herself, they were nothing, everything had already ended after last year's autumn solstice.

Even if Chu Rui misunderstood that he was a murderous maniac, shouldn't it be the best?

In this way, Chu Rui will be afraid of him, and he can also use this reason to persuade himself not to like him anymore, can't he?

Best option?

Chu Rui didn't speak, and calmed down his shocked emotions a little, then heard Mo Zixi smile.

"That's what you see... I am a person who kills without blinking an eye. Don't you always say that about us Wang Junshan people in your life? Killing is killing, regardless of good or evil people..." Mo Zi Xi put the Shuixiu Sword back into its scabbard: "Actually, if you think about it carefully, the gap between the two of us is quite large."

"You are responsible for saving people, and the doctors are benevolent; I am responsible for killing people, so dirty and dirty... I really don't deserve to stand with you. How can a clean person like you understand us murderers?"

It's all over, why are you messing with me again?Shouldn't you stay away?

Shouldn't you hate me and think I'm shameless?

Mo Zixi never thought that the emotion of just wanting to like someone would be so painful.

So, it would be great if I didn't meet Chu Rui in the first place.

Hearing what he said, Chu Rui felt uncomfortable all over his body.

Mo Zixi's face was a little pale in front of him, Chu Rui lifted his foot and took a step, only to see that he blinked his heavy eyes and was about to fall asleep, and fell to the ground in a flash.

Chu Rui couldn't help himself and ran over to pick him up.

When Mo Zixi was in his arms, she could only smile wryly, thinking that it was because you were always so gentle that I got worse and eventually became out of control.

Can you not always be so gentle...

Chu Rui settled him in an inn, and the shopkeeper was quite enthusiastic. He recognized Mo Zixi as a high-ranking student who was helping the people in Wangjun Mountain, and gave him a room for free.

It was not the first time that Chu Rui, who had treated the wound for him, quickly handled the injury skillfully and settled him down. As soon as he put down the medicine box, Mo Zixi, who was lying on the bed and pretended to be asleep, grabbed his hand and put him in a good place. The man dragged in, turned over and pressed him under his body.

Chu Rui was caught off guard by his action, and was about to scold him when he was kissed.

He subconsciously wanted to push Mo Zixi away, but he didn't do it in the end.

Mo Zixi finally ended the youthful and chaotic kiss, he let go of Chu Rui: "Since you knew I liked you but still saved me, you should have expected this to happen."

"If you think what I said that day was not serious, then you can leave now." He said with downcast eyes.

Chu Rui gently pushed him away: "You are a patient."

"Patients?" Mo Zixi smiled wryly, "Do all your patients kiss you?"

Seeing that Chu Rui didn't answer, Mo Zixi raised his head and asked him, "Will I kiss you till I burn myself?"

"Shut up." Chu Rui clenched his fists: "Stop talking."

There was silence between the two.

Seeing his indifferent expression, Chu Rui's heart trembled: "Can't you just pretend that nothing happened?"

He didn't confess, and he didn't kiss him.

As if all this was a dream, could they still be as usual?

Mo Zixi still remembers that he was completely shocked by his rejection in his floating life, his every frown and smile are still engraved in his mind and cannot be forgotten, and the residual warmth of contact with him still remains on his lips...

Suddenly want him to pretend that nothing happened?Is it possible?

Mo Zixi was silent for a long time, finally got up and put on his coat, said with a wry smile, "Thank you Brother Chu for your rescue, let's just leave now."

He called him Brother Chu...

Chu Rui looked up and saw the sadness in his eyes.

Mo Zixi smiled, but it was not warm at all: "You are really...too much."

Chu Rui knew that he was going too far.

He still remembered that when Mo Zixi left, he turned his head several times, maybe he was waiting for him to stay, but he remained silent and didn't say anything, and finally he turned and left resolutely.

Nothing happened, he was still Mo Zixi, the master of Wangjun Mountain; and he was still the hall master who stayed alone in the Qingfeng Hall during his lifetime, and the two people who could not have met at first finally returned to their original places.

Even if we meet after a long time, we can greet each other politely.

Just why is my heart so uncomfortable?Chu Rui felt that it was impossible for him to realize his idea of ​​treating all this as if it had never happened.

It's really ridiculous.

When Chu Rui returned to Fusheng, he still walked into the courtyard of Qingfengtang to pick up the fragments of the water lamps, took glue and glued them back to their original shape piece by piece, and put them back in the corner of the cabinet.

There is no way to pretend that nothing happened, so... hide it.

Be nice to each other.
