Big dream 18 years

Chapter 20

Ji Shuliu drank the water to thank him, fell asleep and fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he felt that the breath from his nose was hot, but his body was weak and afraid of the cold. When he opened his eyes, Qin Songfeng was sitting on the edge of the bed and staring at him.

Qin Songfeng supported him by the shoulder with one hand, and brought a bowl of warm porridge to Ji Shuliu's mouth with the other.Ji Shuliu really didn't have much strength, so he leaned on him to drink the porridge while holding the bowl.

Qin Songfeng helped Ji Shuliu to lie down again: "You have a little fever. Lay down today and don't move, don't be tired anymore."

Ji Shuliu said: "Then don't be tired. Didn't you also have bloodletting?" It was only after he spoke that he realized that his voice was hoarse.

"I'm in good health, I'm fine." Although Qin Songfeng said so, he jumped back to the bed and half lay down.

The fire was still burning, but Ji Shuliu felt that the cold air from yesterday was oozing from his bones, so he covered himself with a quilt and curled up slightly.Soon there was a little sweat on his forehead, and Qin Songfeng wiped it off for him casually.

Ji Shuliu closed his eyes and complained: "How long will it take for the wound to stop hurting?"

After a while, Qin Songfeng patted him on the shoulder lightly: "It will be fine in a few days."

Ji Shuliu didn't speak, and tucked the quilt up a little tighter.

Qin Songfeng smiled and said, "Do you want to cry or not? If you want to cry, I can pretend not to see it."

"I can't see you crying, I didn't open my eyes."

Qin Songfeng asked again: "Were you not afraid during the days when you were locked up?"

"No. It's others who are fooled, and I'm the one who cheats. Why should I be afraid?"

Qin Songfeng stopped talking again, not even wiping Ji Shuliu's sweat.After a long time, Ji Shuliu couldn't help but open his eyes to look.Qin Songfeng's eyes still stayed on Ji Shuliu's face. The moment Ji Shuliu opened his eyes, he suddenly said: "It's better that I don't marry a wife, and you don't marry either. Let's make do for the rest of our lives. You take When I am a wife, I also take you as a wife."

Ji Shuliu was originally weak and weak, but he became energetic when he heard this: "Okay!"

Seeing his bright eyes looking at him happily, Qin Songfeng doubted, "Do you know what I mean?"

"Even if I marry you, you also marry me. Don't you mean that?"

His eyes are frank and sincere, and Qin Songfeng is even more suspicious: "Do you know what it means to marry you...marry me?"

Ji Shuliu was puzzled: "Why don't you know? The two of you became a family, eating and living together like my uncle and aunt."

"and then?"

"What else? By the way, there is also the pledge of eternal love, in Tianyuan... It seems a bit strange for us to say this."

Qin Songfeng suddenly stared at Ji Shuliu's face, and slowly moved his face closer until their lips touched.Ji Shuliu didn't hide at all, looking amused, he still opened his eyes and looked at Qin Songfeng who was so close that he was about to stick together.Qin Songfeng hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes, and began to suck on his chapped lips due to fever, staying for a long time before reluctantly letting go.

Although there was no deep kiss, Qin Songfeng's expression was a little dazed.Seeing this expression, Ji Shuliu couldn't hold it back anymore. He also propped up his body and leaned up to suck on his lips, then kissed him on both cheeks, and finally kissed his slightly pale lower lip after losing blood without a teacher. Take a light bite.

This bite broke Qin Songfeng's suspicious expression, and he touched Ji Shuliu's face contentedly: "That's it."

Thinking back on the past, Ji Shuliu couldn't help saying, "No wonder you always smile so strangely when you say you want to match me with others. You really don't mean it."

"It's so obvious, even you can see it?" Qin Songfeng was a little surprised, and then smirked, "You always stare at my apprentice, and you blame me for thinking too much? In fact, you are afraid that she will come and snatch me from you."

Ji Shuliu also smirked: "Of course I'm afraid."

The two chatted for a while, and Ji Shuliu gradually became tired, so he closed his eyes and took a nap.Qin Songfeng lay resting beside him, looking at him from time to time, with a faint warm smile on his face.

■

The young man recovered quickly. After a few days, Ji Shuliu's fever had subsided. Although he had limited mobility, he was much more active.When Qin Songfeng and Qian Rui went out, he got up and went to visit Qu Ze in Qian Rui's room.

After a few greetings and a check on Qu Ze's injury, Ji Shuliu couldn't help jumping to the topic he was always curious about: "Chu Xun has a daughter named Chu Aliu, and I always think it has something to do with her that my elder brother will adopt me. How much do you know about her?"

"I don't know anything, I just know that there was such a person. Don't forget, I only took refuge in Drunken Sun Castle when you were eleven or twelve years old, and she had been dead for more than ten years at that time."

Ji Shuliu drooped his head: "Although it's useless, I still want to know something about my elder brother. Can you tell me?"

Qu Ze patted Ji Shuliu's head and said, "Be obedient. Just treat the Zuishi Fort matter as a dream, and don't think about it again." Seeing Ji Shuliu's face was full of disappointment, he added as much as possible, "I Just like telling you. The boss said before that when you grow up, you can be a man with responsibility and ambition."

Ji Shu shrinks his neck: "He must be joking."

Qu Ze rolled up Ji Shuliu's sleeve and glanced at the scars on his arm that had started to scab, and said slowly, "His tone was a joke, but if you think about it today, it might not be a joke."

"I'm a real man?"

Qu Ze grinned: "You dare to speak out about persuading Wang Guitong away privately. You are very brave. I really didn't expect that you would have the courage to stand up and save my life regardless of your own life."

Ji Shuliu said seriously: "The two evils are the lesser. I have known you for so many years, and you are like my relatives. If you are humiliated to death by them, I will not be able to bear it. This is my selfishness."

Before Qu Ze could speak, there was a knock on the door outside, and Ji Ping and his wife came to visit.Qu Ze explained in a low voice that he didn't want to see anyone at this time, so Ji Shuliu covered the door on this side, and asked his uncle and aunt to sit in the bedroom on the other side.Ji Ping didn't sit down, and came up to hold Ji Shuliu's face and said that he had lost weight, full of love, and Ji Shuliu blushed a little from her.

Huo Yong patted Ji Ping on the shoulder, and Ji Ping finally got down to business: "Do you still remember Shi Qiong?"

"Remember." Ji Shuliu was taken aback.Shi Qiong is a well-known eccentric in Jianghu, nicknamed "Four Heads", not because of his great fate, but because since Ji Ying and his wife were murdered, every year he would chop off four heads of disciples of Drunken Sun Castle and send them to the grave. Unshakable.Sometimes he gave four at a time, and sometimes only one or two at a time, and then replenished after a few months.If he killed more than four people a year, he would choose four people with better martial arts and higher status to send them over.

On the day of going to the grave on Qingming Festival, there are often heads still left in front of the grave.Ji Shuliu's second uncle abandoned martial arts for many years, and hated seeing this the most, cursing endlessly whenever he saw it.But Ji Ping was grateful, saying that this man had received Ji Ying's life-saving grace before, and he admired Ji Ying very much, but hated that he could not kill Li Xiao, so he killed a few disciples of Zuizunbao every year to comfort his benefactor.

Ji Shuliu was still thinking about this person's deeds, so he heard Ji Ping say: "He wants to know you."

■

Ji Shuliu was taken aback, thinking that he didn't know if he was a disciple of Drunken Sun Castle, he touched his neck with his left hand, and immediately grabbed the hilt of his sword with his right hand.Ji Ping laughed and said, "Don't be afraid, he won't hurt you, but he hasn't seen you before and wants to take a look."

Huo Yong stayed to guard, Ji Shu hung up his sword and followed Ji Ping out, and listened to her explanation: Shi Qiong came this time and sent a human head.Xuan Chongzi, Pei Yongguo and others found out that the murderer who killed Zheng Dong was the guard Kong Xuan, and then spread it all over the world through the Chisu Gate.When Shi Qiong got the news, he was the first to find Kong Xuan's whereabouts, and took him to Zheng Dong's home to confirm that he was correct, then chopped off his head and sent him to Bixiao Villa.Hearing that Ji Shuliu was also there, he had a whim and wanted to meet the benefactor's son.

Near the gate of Bixiao Mountain Villa, Shi Qiong was standing in the snow with his arms folded, far away from the others. There was a bearded head at his feet, and his appearance was indeed somewhat similar to that of the cook who died for him.Ji Shuliu walked here anxiously, saw the head from a distance, and approached Shi Qiong after a little hesitation, Shi Qiong frowned.

Ji Ping introduced to Shi Qiong: "This is my nephew." Seeing that he was over 40 years old, Ji Shuliu clasped his fists as a junior salute.

Shi Qiong's posture remained unchanged, he looked at Ji Shuliu coldly, and said to Ji Ping, "It's better that you are like your elder brother." After a while of silence, he added, "It's a bit like your sister-in-law."

Ji Ping lowered her head and wiped away some tears: "It's very similar to my sister-in-law."

"The heads are reserved for you, and there will be a period later."

He actually turned around and was about to leave the village, Ji Shuliu blurted out and asked: "Senior Shi, junior, may I ask what your late father... what does he look like?" looks.

Shi Qiong turned his head to look at Ji Shuliu again, and said forcefully, "Even if I tell you, your appearance won't change."

Ji Shuliu never thought it would be this answer, Ji Ping pulled him back a few steps, and complained in a low voice: "If you want to know what your father looks like, you can just ask me, why do you ask others?" Shi Qiong ignored the aunt and nephew. Talking in a low voice, and walked away without making a sound, Ji Ping didn't say goodbye, but said to Ji Shuliu, "Brother Shi has such a temper, don't stick to common etiquette with him."

Ji Shuliu had no choice but to follow Ji Ping back, and after returning to his residence, he asked, "What does my father look like?"

Ji Ping showed nostalgia, raised her hand and gestured: "Your father is so tall and strong. He looks very majestic and masculine. His voice is very deep, and he speaks loudly. I It looks a bit like your father, but not your second uncle."

Ji Ping's appearance is soft and pure, but sometimes she is a bit confused. Even Ji Shuliu feels that she should take care of her when she is with her. What about her similar but masculine appearance?Ji Shuliu tried to imagine but couldn't think of it, and touched his head blankly: "You said that my father is kind to Shi Qiong, what's going on?"

Ji Ping said: "When Shi Qiong was young, he was defeated by people from Jiangxi's evil Taoist Xuanqimen. Those people burned a mark on his arm to humiliate him. Later, someone on the Baidao saw the mark on Shi Qiong's arm and misunderstood him as Xuan Qi. The spies of Qimen almost killed him. Your father felt that the evidence was not convincing enough, so he insisted on investigating and saved his life. Since then, Shi Qiong and your father have become friends and have drank together many times. Everyone took this as a strange thing to spread, because Shi Qiong, who usually doesn't drink at all, has a withdrawn personality, talks too much with others, and has never made friends in the world."

Ji Shuliu heard about this matter from Li Xiao, but Li Xiao put the person who found out the truth on himself.Ji Shuliu suddenly felt a little dizzy, and closed his eyes involuntarily. While wanting to continue listening, he once again had the weird thought that he would be sorry for the kindness of his elder brother's upbringing when he heard the truth.

Huo Yong seemed to be aware of it, and added: "Your father is upright and fair. He has the pleasure of the Jianghu people, but not the recklessness of the Jianghu people. Therefore, everyone admires him. He has friends all over the world, and even people like Shi Qiong can get along with each other."

Ji Ping sighed softly: "Your father and mother have been upright all their lives, and they have made sincere friends. After they left, your second uncle and I were alone and threatened by Zuizunbao, thanks to the help of these friends." Only by helping can you avoid the limelight and live in peace. But if God has eyes, why doesn't he let such a good person live a long life?" At this point, she couldn't help crying, Ji Shuliu didn't dare to ask any more questions, and comforted Huo Yong for a long time , Did not say goodbye until she gradually regained her composure.

■

Qin Songfeng and Qian Rui returned late at night on this day, but they didn't say much about the next arrangement. For several days after that, they left early and returned late for three meals.Qian Rui got Qu Ze a barely-handy sword from somewhere, and put it beside him just in case, and also told Ji Shuliu to pay more attention to the movement outside during the day, and call someone immediately if there is something wrong.

One morning, Ji Shuliu felt Qin Songfeng touch his face very lightly, and he woke up for a while as usual.

Ever since the two kissed and made a promise, Qin Songfeng must touch like this every morning when he wakes up; Ji Shuliu has been a heavy sleeper since he was a child, but maybe he has a heartfelt connection with the person he has admired for a long time, and he can feel it every time.

Although he was awakened, Ji Shuliu only felt a little sweetness in his heart, smiled lightly, and continued to sleep soundly.Looking around in a haze, I was sitting on a delicate small stone bridge with a thick mat, and the pink willows and greens on the bank swayed gently in the wind.A soft hand stretched out from behind to caress her cheek, and a female voice whispered softly: "Shu'er, your father is waiting for you, go and play with him."

He knew that his mother was behind him, so he stood up and ran down the small bridge quickly without turning his head. As expected, his father stood under the peach tree with a smile, opened his arms and bent slightly, picked him up and turned him around twice when he was running towards him.

His father put him down and asked, "I'll hide it, you can find it, okay?"

He felt palpitations, and hurriedly grabbed his father's arm: "Not good!", making his father laugh out loud.

The hearty laughter was suddenly broken by a scream. He turned his head in shock, and suddenly saw his mother in a pink dress lying face down on the ground, a pool of blood spreading from under her to his feet.The laughter stopped at some point, and the arm he hadn't let go suddenly became cold.Trembling, he turned his head back and found that a long sword had penetrated his father's chest. Blood gushed out from the front and rear wounds, fell to the ground, and merged with his mother's blood.

At the end of the long sword is a hand, and at the end of the arm is a person.The father whose chest has been pierced but still standing, and the murderer who pierced his father's chest and is proud of himself, seem to be the reflection of each other in the mirror, with exactly the same face.

That was Li Xiao's face.

Ji Shu asked in tears, "Brother...why!"

Li Xiao looked up to the sky and laughed, but the same weird smile appeared on his father's stiff face.Ji Shuliu stood there bewildered, Li Xiao waved his hand and cut Ji Shuliu's wrist with some sharp weapon, the blood flowing from his wrist melted into the blood of his father and mother.

Ji Shuliu felt cold all over and woke up suddenly.The blood in the dream is gone, only the tears on the face are still dry.

Ji Shuliu blew on the wound on his wrist that was accidentally involved, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and suddenly heard Qin Songfeng beside him saying: "Have a nightmare? Get dressed quickly and get up for lunch."

Ji Shuliu was a little embarrassed: "You came back so early? It's already noon, why is it still dark?"

Qin Songfeng said: "It's my turn to rest today. It's dark because it's snowing outside."

Ji Shuliu said "oh", put on his clothes, first went to the door of the opposite bedroom and peeped in.Qian Rui was also there, nodding to him; Qu Ze was lying on the iron board and asked with a smile, "What are you doing secretly?"

Seeing his smiling face, Ji Shuliu felt a little comforted, winked at him, turned around and walked back without entering the room without saying a word.As soon as he walked into Qin Songfeng's bedroom, he heard the whistling of his clothes one after another, and many masters rushed to the door and windows of the house from a distance, and surrounded the room.

Ji Shuliu looked at Qin Songfeng questioningly; Qin Songfeng's face was serious, and he pressed his right arm with his left hand, signaling him not to act rashly.

At this moment, Xuan Chongzi's voice sounded: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. This matter may be just a misunderstanding. Pindao guarantees his reputation. You can explain it clearly! Master Qin Er, are you inside? Are you talking about it?" Reasonable people, if you can trust Pindao, please take off your weapon and let me confront you."

Then came Gao Yi's voice: "I'm here too. Brother Qin, when we were dealing with Zuishibao, we were responsible for taking care of the family of friends in the rivers and lakes. We fought side by side. I definitely trust you! Xuan Chongzi and I said Guaranteed together, what else do you have to worry about?"
