Chapter 19
The afterglow of the setting sun falls in a section of incense, and the copper bell on the door is blown by the breeze, bringing a burst of crisp sound. The elegant bamboo house is located here, surrounded by white plum blossoms. Very dreamy.
Chen Xi and Ling Yunxiao were sitting under the tree drinking tea, and Gu Liuyue said, "I don't know what's going on when the emperor went out on a mission this time. I've been out for so long. I see the third senior brother standing in front of the fairy gate every day." Wait for him to be anxious."
Han Ruyan nodded and said: "Yes! I saw that the third senior brother was usually so steady, but he would reveal such a worried expression!"
Chen Xi took a sip of tea and said indifferently: "Senior Brother San has always been on good terms with Ye Lubai, so it's inevitable to worry about him."
Han Ruyan looked at everyone mysteriously and asked, "Then do you know the origin of those three senior brothers?"
Ling Yunxiao glanced at her and said, "What's the origin? Could it be that he's still a fugitive?"
"Brother! Your imagination is too rich! I dare not write like this in my drawing book."
Gu Liuyue said with some doubts: "I heard that the third senior brother's family is in Shangjing, Xihuang Kingdom, and it is a family of eunuchs."
"That's right, the third brother is the concubine of their Pei family! He was born by a maid, so he was very unpopular before."
Ling Yunxiao seemed a little surprised that she knew so many things: "Why do you know everything!"
Han Ruyan raised his chin and said proudly: "That is."
Chen Xi said: "Senior Sister! You are going to peek at Si Wuya's disciple recording!"
Han Ruyan said awkwardly: "Chen Xi! Don't expose me!"
Ling Yunxiao smiled and said: "So that's the case, I forgot about it! No wonder you know the life experience of many of our Xianmen disciples."
Han Ruyan sighed and said: "Oh, this matter has turned the page, you are not allowed to mention it again! But you should not mention this in front of the third senior brother! Although he always smiles and greets people, I can always see that he has many talents. worry!"
At this moment, the door of the bamboo house was knocked, and Gu Nanxing's voice came from outside the door with a little anxiety: "Brother and sister are not well, something big happened!"
Chen Xi got up and walked out the door. At this time, it was dark outside, and the moonlight illuminated the entire small courtyard. Gu Nanxing, who was standing outside the courtyard door, was panting heavily while holding the courtyard door. Chen Xi walked over quickly and opened the courtyard door.
Seeing him coming out, Gu Nanxing said anxiously: "Uncle Huang was seriously injured."
The people sitting on the stone bench stood up immediately upon hearing this, Ling Yunxiao frowned and said, "Let's go and have a look together."
When the group arrived at Bai Lusheng, they saw Pei Yunsheng putting a basin of hot water in front of the bed, and lying on the bed was a man covered in blood and whose appearance could no longer be seen clearly. "
Gu Liuyue ran to the bed in surprise, looked at Pei Yunsheng and asked, "How did Uncle Huang get such a serious injury?"
Pei Yunsheng's face turned pale, as if he hadn't calmed down yet: "This is not Lubai's blood, he just suffered a slight injury and it's fine, you don't need to worry."
Han Ruyan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words: "Seeing the blood on the emperor's body is really frightening to death."
Pei Yunsheng wrung out the cloth in his hands, wiped Ye Lubai's face and said, "Go back first! There's nothing wrong here."
Ling Yunxiao nodded and said, ""This is the first time I've seen you so anxious!All right!Then you take care of him first!We went back first, and we will visit here again tomorrow! "
Pei Yunsheng didn't look back, but responded in a low voice: "En."
The five of them walked back along the bluestone path, the moonlight cast a shadow on everything around them, they remained silent for a long time, and finally Gu Liuyue couldn't help but speak first.
"It's the first time I've seen Second Senior Brother lose his composure like this!"
Gu Liuyue said with a serious face: "I'm sure Senior Brother Ye must be very important to Senior Brother Third."
Han Ruyan rolled her eyes and said: "Your reaction is too slow! I have already seen that there is adultery between them!"
Gu Nanxing knocked on Han Ruyan's head and said, "Junior Sister, what are you talking about! It's too ugly! What is adultery?"
Ling Yunxiao gave Han Ruyan a blank look: "It deserves it."
Gu Liuyue sighed and said: "You also know that since Third Senior Brother entered the Immortal Gate, the only one who can win his heart is Senior Brother Ye."
Han Ruyan said angrily, "It's all about his damn relatives."
Gu Nanxing asked in confusion: "What do you mean by that? Could his relatives still harm him?"
Chen Xi sighed and said, "People's hearts are often the most terrifying."
"That's right! Senior Brother Gu, don't you know that Third Senior Brother's mother has died since he was a child. He lives in that family and has to do heavy work every day. Sometimes he doesn't even give him food. His father also doesn't care about him. Later, his father's wife even beat him seriously and threw him in the snow. At that time, he was only ten years old. I really don't know how his father's wife could bear it. If he was not strong, he finally met Brother Ye probably died in the heavy snow that year, so sometimes people's hearts are really scary and terrifying.
Gu Nanxing said angrily: "There is such a vicious woman in the world, it is really devoid of conscience, thanks to his father, who is a minister of a country, he even ignored his own son, allowing his wife to seriously hurt him to this point .”
Ling Yunxiao nodded and said, "No wonder he and Ye Lubai have always had such a good relationship."
As he said that, he looked at Chen Xi, did Chen Xi regard himself as his only friend like Ye Lubai?
Gu Liuyue said sympathetically, "Yes! But third senior brother always has a smiling face, and he doesn't want to tell us anything."
Chen Xi patted Gu Liuyue on the shoulder and said: "So what can I say! He understands that life and death are up to fate, no one can choose his own birth, but he doesn't need other people's sympathy, so don't show this expression in front of him .”
Gu Liuyue patted Chen Xi's hand and said with a smile: "I know, I just feel emotional."
Ling Yunxiao said with a smile: "We can't choose our own birth, but we can choose our own future. Yun Sheng once fell into darkness, but now his future is full of sunshine."
On the second day, a group of people faced the rising sun and came to Duanxiang together. Gu Liuyue ran outside the gate of the courtyard and knocked on the door before stepping on the stone bridge.
Gu Liuyue knocked on the door and shouted: "Third Senior Brother! Third Senior Brother!"
Pei Yunsheng's eyes were red, and he opened the bamboo door with floating steps, walked to the courtyard, opened the door, and welcomed Gu Liuyue in.
When Gu Liuyue saw his appearance, she was surprised and asked: Second senior brother, did you take care of the emperor's uncle all night?
Chen Xi looked at Pei Yunsheng and asked, "How is he doing?"
Pei Yunsheng seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "I will probably wake up today!"
Ling Yunxiao patted him on the shoulder and said: "Then you go back to rest first! We have already asked for leave from the second uncle, and we will notify you when he wakes up!"
Pei Yunsheng thanked the four of them and walked out: "Then I will trouble you."
"Tsk! Look at how nervous Second Senior Brother is. Those who didn't know it thought it was his lover lying inside! Gu Liuyue looked at Pei Yunsheng's back and sighed!"
Han Ruyan chuckled lightly when he heard the words: "Maybe it's true!"
Ling Yunxiao knocked on the heads of the two of them and said: What nonsense are you talking about! "
As soon as Han Ruyan entered the door and saw Ye Lubai who was covered with a quilt, his eyes lit up immediately and he ran over.
Looking at Ye Lubai's appearance, Han Ruyan couldn't help sighing: "Tsk, she is really beautiful!"
The clothes on Ye Lubai's body have been changed, and the blood on his body has been wiped clean. His long black hair is loose, and there is a little blush on his delicate and beautiful face.
Gu Liuyue pulled her away and said, "Senior Sister! What are you doing!"
"He's awake! Ling Yunxiao, who was standing aside, reminded the others.
Chen Xi walked to the bed, looked at him and asked, "How do you feel?"
Ye Lubai sat up slowly from the bed, looked at Chen Xi and said, "Why am I back?"
Han Ruyan hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang was brought back by the third senior brother. You didn't know that you were covered in blood at that time, but you scared us to death."
Chen Xi nodded: "Senior Brother Three just went back to rest."
Ye Lubai sighed: "I really bothered him."
"You're too polite and you'll break his heart."
Ye Lubai smiled softly and reached out to touch Chen Xi's head and said, "Little Junior Brother, you are right, I have known him for more than twenty years, but I am not as thorough as you."
And the dawn did not evade.
Seeing all this, Ling Yunxiao immediately became unhappy, stroked Ye Lubai's hand and said coldly: "...a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands."
Ye Lubai didn't care but just withdrew her hand, and Gu Liuyue ran to sit beside him and said, "Uncle, don't pay attention to him, he's always been like this recently, always losing his temper for no reason, you should have a good rest!"
Ye Lubai smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Gu Liuyue glared at Ling Yunxiao and said, "It's still the emperor's hello! It's not like my two senior brothers who always beat me up!"
"Your seniors said those things because they cared about you! It's a familiar saying that honest words are harsh, and they are strict with you because they care about you."
"Uncle Huang, I know! At worst, I'll just talk to them properly in the future."
Ling Yunxiao looked at the two who were talking, but turned around and released the paper crane in his hand without saying a word.
Chen Xi stood beside him and said, "You are notifying Second Senior Brother!"
Ling Yunxiao didn't reply to his words.
"You're angry!"
"Every time I touch your head, you always push me away, but just now he touched you, but you didn't respond. Do you hate me so much? Although you usually seem to get along well with me, but you There is always a trace of resentment towards me in my heart, I can see it, but I don't understand why you resist me so much."
"Ling Yunxiao! Don't be childish."
"I do not have."
"You are still angry, he is a very gentle person!"
Ling Yunxiao said coldly: "What about me! Am I not gentle with you?"
"Why are you always like this! You can accept anyone's kindness to you! But you only have to reject me thousands of miles away! No matter how I tell you, you always act as if it didn't happen afterwards. Do you really hate me? ? If so can you tell me why?"
"Because I'm afraid! Gentleness is a kind of addiction. He can become addicted in a short time, but it takes too long to forget when he loses it."
Ling Yunxiao looked at him and sighed: "Why are your thoughts always so pessimistic!"
He can accept anyone's favor because he doesn't care if he will lose it one day, but Ling Yunxiao is different in his heart.
At this time, the bamboo door was pushed open, interrupting the conversation between the two of them. Pei Shengyun ran in with a sleepy face. His clothes were messy, and he knew at a glance that he had just received the news and ran over immediately.
Gu Liuyue and Ye Lubai also seemed to be taken aback by his sudden intrusion.
Han Ruyan, who was sitting on the side, looked at Pei Yunsheng and said, "Second senior brother, you don't have to worry too much! Those who don't know think the house is set on fire!"
She knew that Pei Sheng had always paid great attention to appearance cultivation, so she was a little surprised that he ran here with messy clothes today.
"Yun Sheng, you... don't worry, I'm fine, Ye Lubai said, looking at Pei Yunsheng who was leaning against the door and panting.
Pei Yunsheng blushed when he saw him looking at him, and stood up straight and straightened his clothes.
"...Second senior brother, why are you blushing, Gu Liuyue said speechlessly.
"Shut up, Pei Yunsheng went to the bed and sat down, and said to Gu Liuyue.
Ye Lubai paused for a while, her face seemed a little ugly: "I was so focused on talking to you that I almost forgot all the important things."
Seeing that his expression was not good, Pei Yunsheng also asked seriously: "But what happened to your mission this time?"
Ye Lubai frowned and said, "I was ordered by my uncle to go to the Nine Layers Abyss to check the seal of the Demon Realm. When I arrived, a gap had been opened in the seal."
Han Ruyan said with a serious face when he heard the words: "I'll go and report to my uncle first."
Without waiting for a few people to answer, he ran out the door, Ling Yunxiao also said to the two: "We also left first."
The sun was just right, and the bright sun was hanging high in the blue sky. The sun reflected on the bluestone path, accompanied by the sound of insects, the three of them walked among the plum trees.
Gu Liuyue looked at the two suspiciously and asked, "Hey, do you two think the third senior brother is strange?"
Ling Yunxiao asked with a look of incomprehension: "What's so strange?"
"Didn't you notice? Uncle Huang took a look at Third Senior Brother just now, and he blushed!"
Ling Yunxiao rolled Gu Liuyue's eyes and said: "You are thinking too much! He just ran over, isn't it normal to blush?"
Gu Liuyue said with a face of disapproval: "But he is too nervous, uncle! As soon as he heard that he woke up, he ran over immediately. He is usually such a person who pays attention to his appearance! Today, his clothes are messy!"
"That's his friend! If he's not nervous, why are you nervous? Fusang will be the same when he hears that something happened to me! Isn't it strange?"
At this time, Chen Xi, who had been silent all this time, also said, "Is it really okay for you to discuss the matter of Third Senior Brother and Ye Lubai here?"
Gu Liuyue looked at Chen Xi and said, "Aren't you curious if it's not Chen Xi?"
"A little bit."
"Don't you think we are discussing other people's affairs all day long, just like those women in the mortal world? We can form a gossip squad if this continues."
"But when you know a strange thing, if you press it in your heart and don't find the truth, it's like there are always little claws scratching in your heart."
"I think it's because you always think about these things in your heart, so everything you see is strange!"
"It's not that I really think that the second senior brother has some ulterior secret! A woman's intuition is very accurate, trust me!"
"Is there any ulterior secret! Isn't it because my friend got hurt and Xiao Sheng got a little nervous! Don't think about it."
Gu Liuyue always felt that things were not like what he said, but she didn't know how to say it. It was not until many years later that she understood a word called straight man's vision.
Chen Xi said, "Okay, let's end this topic!"
Gu Liuyue asked with a puzzled look: "By the way, big brother, you said just now that Fusang would be very nervous when he heard that something happened to you! What does this mean?"
"... You heard it wrong, Ling Yunxiao replied indifferently.
"No way, my ears are so bad! Just as she was whispering, Ling Yunxiao had already pulled Chen Xi who was beside her and ran away.
Gu Liuyue realized in an instant that she had heard correctly, and shouted at the backs of the two of them: "Ling Yunxiao, explain your words to me clearly! After saying that, I chased after them."
