Chapter 34
Xu Zhiming smiled helplessly, took off his coat and draped it over his shoulders, and sat down leaning against the wall.He held Yan Zi in one hand, and slowly ran his hair along with the other. After thinking for a while, he buried his head between his neck so that his hair would dry faster.
Yan Zi was very thin, so thin that someone like Xu Zhiming could hold him in his arms.
Xu Zhiming recalled that when the two met for the first time, his indifferent attitude of not allowing strangers to enter, his pale golden eyes must have been filled with brilliance, and the person who was radiant at the time is now nestling like a rabbit. in his arms.
He chuckled lightly, and pulled him closer again.
Then, he took off his blindfold, and slowly opened those eyes that seemed to be mixed with blood.He first squinted his eyes to get used to the aisle lit up by Yan Zi's fire, and then lowered his head, as if he was looking at the person in his arms.After a long silence, he carefully opened his neckline and pulled out the black rope on which the golden bird was hung.
He looked at the golden bird with his empty eyes, then sneered, and rubbed the concave line of its head with his thumb.
He hates the bird.He wanted to throw the bird away.He knew before that Yan Zi would often take out this thing in private to look at it for half an hour, and it has become more and more frequent in recent days.Although this bird has nothing to do with him, it just makes him unhappy.
Would it make him more comfortable if he stuffed the bird into the earthen wall before Yan Zi woke up?
But when he thought of Yan Zi in his arms, he grabbed the little bird into his palm again, and after warming it up, he bit Yan Zi's defenseless Adam's apple.Biting and licking made Yan Zi, who was dazed and unable to wake up, raised her head back, and let out some pitiful sobs from her lips.
While listening to his reaction, Xu Zhiming threw the bird into his collar while he was raising his head, and then heaved a sigh of relief and pulled his clothes back.
When Yan Zi woke up, he was still nestled in Xu Zhiming's arms, his head was leaning against his, and his black and white hair was all tangled together.
Xu Zhiming's eyes, which were covered under the crow-blue cloth band, moved. If he didn't have the cloth band, he would be able to see the thick eyelashes.Yan Zi frowned and looked at the obstructing cloth belt, thinking.
Xu Zhiming yawned, hugged him a little tighter, and said, "Holding you all night, my body is numb."
"...Then you are still hugging so tightly?" After saying that, Yan Zi struggled.
When Yan Zi turned over, Xu Zhiming helped him up, and when he withdrew his hand, his fingertips brushed Yan Zi's Adam's apple vaguely, which made Yan Zi tremble.
"What the hell..." Yan Zi touched his Adam's apple, where there were faint tooth marks and a few small and shallow wounds, "You... you bit me?!"
"No?" Xu Zhiming put on an innocent face, "Have you been bitten by a mosquito?"
Yan Zi rolled his eyes.How can mosquito bites cause wounds?
"We've spent the whole night, should we go back now or continue forward?" Xu Zhiming touched Yan Zi's forehead with his hand, "It's still hot."
"Don't touch me," Yan Zi patted his hand away, leaning on the wall and moving forward, "Of course I'm going forward..."
His legs were still a little weak, and he couldn't use his strength, as if he was stepping on cotton.
Seeing that he was about to be tripped by a small stone and hit the ground, Xu Zhiming, who was following closely behind him, quickly grabbed his sleeve with his hand, walked around and squatted down in front of him.
"Look at the road, I'll carry you in."
Yan Zi couldn't do it, firstly he couldn't walk, and secondly, Third Young Master Xu's attitude wouldn't let him walk anymore, so he followed his will and was laid on someone's back peacefully.It's just that such an intimate posture is really twisted, which makes Yan Zi feel a little uncomfortable.
"Xu Zhiming, can you walk faster, like an old man..."
"Mr. Yan, I'm a blind man, and I'm still carrying you behind my back. Can you stop embarrassing me?"
"Then don't carry me behind your back."
"Oh, that's okay." Xu Zhiming smiled, and made a gesture to let go and throw him on the ground, so frightened that Yan Zi hugged his neck tightly in a panic, almost strangling him to death.
"Okay, okay, just kidding," Xu Zhiming lifted him up, and continued to walk forward, "Be careful in the secret passage, don't you understand this?"
"Just this secret way? What hidden weapon are you worried about?" Yan Zi said rather disgusted.
"The heart of defense is indispensable, isn't your heart too big?"
The aisle should go underground or into the mountains, and it gets hotter and hotter as you go in. Xu Zhiming couldn't help feeling a little worried when he heard that his breathing was a little rough.
"Zhi... Ming..." Yan Zi tugged on Xu Zhiming's neckline, and muttered softly, "How long...how long have you been away?"
"It won't be long, I guess it will be almost half an hour. But why is this place so long... I should go back just now."
Yan Zi dissatisfied: "Wouldn't it be a waste of my kick to go back..."
"However, who do you think will dig this land?"
"Huh? It's definitely not Li Tan...but...if he...cough cough...if he isn't..."
"Why are you coughing?" Xu Zhiming put him down without saying a word, "There is nowhere to find medicine right now, why don't you wait for me here?"
"No." Yan Zi's head hurt and he was confused, forgetting that the person who was caring about him was a blind man, he shook his head vigorously, patted his face, "I can still hold on!"
Xu Zhiming felt that if he brought such a restless thing with him, there would be accidents, and if there were no accidents, his life would be shortened, so he stabbed him with a knife in his heart, and knocked him out neatly.
When the swallow, who was dizzy and chattering from the fever, had stopped, Xu Zhiming picked him up again and continued walking along the narrow aisle.His braid that was lying on his right chest fell down, and the silvery white hair mixed with the tassels hanging from the red rope on his wrist rubbed against Xu Zhiming's neck, making him feel itchy in his heart.
It has been more than half a year since they came out of Qizhou, and it has been several months since Princess Qingyuan was sent to Chilupan.The two of them fought and quarreled all the way from Qizhou to Zuiwengzhuang, let alone choked, but they were as smart as him, and Yan Zi's little tricks were carefully thought out by him.
He actually had a grudge against this, but Yan Zi was so cautious that he couldn't bear it.Sometimes when the two of them got drunk, Yan Zi would talk nonsense, and every time he wanted to pierce the window paper, he would suddenly wake up and suppress himself, so aggrieved that he could not speak.
He still remembers.Remember what Yan Zi said.
"Zhiming... I know it's not good..."
"But...but a person's mind..."
"How can you say that if you don't have it, it will be gone..."
Like a little swallow, landed in his palm, its little paws gesticulating the complicated palm lines on his palm, looking at him with a pair of bright eyes, and seeing his heart move.
