Slow and immortal

Chapter 235

Chapter 234

In the night, the air was filled with the smell of blood. Before his smile could completely fade away, it condensed on his lips, and his body fell on her body.Amidst the exclamation, Xiao Yao's limbs were cold and her mind was in chaos. It was only when a bowl of warm soup was placed in front of her that she regained her senses.

How she got home, she didn't know at all.

"Master... Where?" She suddenly thought of the weird scene before, and hurriedly stood up from the chair, causing Ah Yi, who was bandaging her wounds on both hands, to frown slightly.

"Sister, the young master is fine. You can drink the hot soup first, so as not to panic." Yue'er handed her the soup bowl, the smile on her little face was long gone, and her big eyes were full of tears, as if she could drink it with just one touch. will fall.

"No, I'm fine," Xiao Yao shook her head, her voice was dry and hoarse, "you are all here, how can only Wu Ma do it, young master, he just vomited a lot of blood..., no, I'll go see him first."

Having said that, she hurriedly ran towards the door, but before she reached the threshold, Ah Yi raised her hand to stop her.

"He's fine. It's just an old problem. He just needs to rest overnight. On the other hand, you have a deep knife wound. If you don't deal with it in time, your hands will probably be useless."

It was the first time for Xiao Yao to hear Ah Yi talking so much. She turned her head and saw the worry hidden in the young man's eyes, and gradually regained her senses, "Ah Yi, don't lie to me, the young master usually doesn't care about it. Like a sick person, how can he suddenly vomit blood when he is doing well."

"Sister, Brother Ah Yi didn't lie to you." At this time, Yue'er also came over and shook the hem of her clothes gently, "The young master has this problem. If his emotions fluctuate too much, he will vomit blood. Even doctors I can't find out the cause of the disease. But as long as the young master is not angry or agitated, he will be fine and nothing will happen." Speaking of this, she suddenly frowned, and burst into tears, hugging Xiao Yao desperately. The thigh said: "Wuuu, sister, you and the young master must have nothing to do, Yue'er is so scared, Yue'er doesn't want the young master and sister to be injured, without money, Yue'er can still make money, as long as the family is safe and sound."

Xiao Yao looked at the girl who was crying so hard, she blamed herself in her heart, she was so easily distracted, she was still yelling about cultivating the Tao every day in vain.

"Yue'er, don't cry, my sister promises you. From now on, I will put my life first and never mess around again." She hugged the little girl lightly with her elbows, and said guiltily to Ah Yi: "I'm sorry for making you worry, The wound is troublesome."

Ah nodded and continued to bandage her wound. Although he didn't say anything more, it could be seen from his eyes that he was relieved.

After bandaging the wound and drinking the hot soup that Yue'er fed, she went around the young master's room again, and found that the young master was sleeping very peacefully, and his face had returned to the healthy color it used to be. He was no longer as pale as before. Only then did he relax and go back to his room to rest.

On the second day, Xiao Yao slept until noon due to the injury on her hand, and then woke up slowly. The first thing she did when she got up was to run to Chu Xun's room, but she found that there were only neatly folded bedding in the room. , no one inside.

She froze for a moment, then went to the study again, this time before entering the door, she saw the man lying on his side on the couch through the window, reading a book quietly.

"Master, are you okay?!"

Chu Xun raised his eyes from the scroll, looked at Xiao Yao whose hands were wrapped like rice dumplings, a smile that was neither salty nor light, "It's nothing serious, but Xiao Yao, who was a hero last night , today the neighbors are talking about your heroic deeds, Xiao Yao can go to the street to listen to them when you have time." After speaking, his eyes continued to fall back to the book, and it seemed that he didn't intend to talk to her any more.

Not good, why does the young master sound like he is still angry?Xiao Yao thought last night that he was in a hurry because of herself, and at the same time she felt guilty, but also felt a little bit of distress because she didn't know why, she bowed her head sincerely and admitted her mistake: "Master, I was wrong, next time I will definitely value my life more than money What's more important is that I won't try my best again."

As she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced, but the other party didn't seem to hear it at all, and she didn't even lift her eyelids.

I remember Yue'er said that getting angry with this kind of disease is a big taboo. She was afraid that he would vomit blood again, so she hurriedly said: "Young master, punish me. If there is something to vent, don't keep it in your heart. Getting angry is not good for your health."

But the other party was still unmoved, as if the book contained gold.Xiao Yao didn't dare to do anything wrong, she just stood aside obediently, bored, she could only quietly look at his handsome face, and became stunned.

This should be the first time she looked at a person's face so seriously. She found that Chu Xun's face was really good-looking, not inferior to those young heroes in the world of cultivating immortals.I just thought it was okay before, but today there is a charm that makes me unable to move my eyes. I really don't understand why the same face can still produce a different feeling after a year or so.

"Xiao Yao." After an unknown amount of time, she heard that person calling her in a daze.

Is the young master not angry anymore?Xiao Yao was startled, and immediately put on a smile, waiting for the next sentence.

"Mother Wu, I just came here to ask you to eat in the dining room." He still didn't look up.

"What about the young master?" Xiao Yao looked a little pitiful.

"Naturally," he closed the book in his hand, and walked down, "I'm not like someone who thinks I'm a god, omnipotent, maybe I don't even want to eat."

Xiao Yao touched her nose and did not argue, she followed behind him wisely and came to the dining room together.

Today is the New Year's Eve, Wu Ma and Yue'er prepared a large table of delicious food, and the dinner time was a little earlier.When everyone sat around the table and faced the delicious food on the table, Xiao Yao realized that her hands were covered in bandages, and she couldn't even hold the chopsticks, so she couldn't help feeling embarrassed.Fortunately, Yue'er saw her embarrassment, picked up the bowl and smiled sweetly: "My sister's hands are not convenient, let Yue'er help my sister."

However, at this moment, someone from the side took the rice bowl from Yue'er's hand, "Yue'er is good, eat by yourself."

So with the surprise on the faces of the four people, Chu Xun raised his hand, picked up a piece of braised pork, and handed it to Xiao Yao's lips.

Xiao Yao didn't dare to disobey, she opened her mouth and bit into her mouth, watching his face cautiously while eating.So soon a bowl of rice was finished, she nodded quickly to indicate that she was full.

But Chu Xun didn't seem to have the intention of letting her go, so he added another bowl, and then added vegetables piled up like a hill, and put it in front of her.

Seeing that Xiao Yao wanted to cry, she usually has great strength, but it doesn't mean that she has a big appetite!But Chu Xunde's eyes didn't give in at all, so she could only eat another bowl of rice, plus a big bowl of soup.

At this moment, Xiao Yao felt that she had met her nemesis, otherwise she had lived for hundreds of years, and she had never been so afraid of a person. It seemed that the more she lived, the more she went back!

This is not to blame Xiao Yao, she has always devoted herself to cultivating in Xianyu Sect, and does not care about world affairs.The people who have been in contact with for hundreds of years may not be as many as a mortal in a lifetime, and it is impossible to understand what she calls "fear", but in fact it should be called "care".

The other three pretended not to see, and lowered their heads to pick up the rice, except Ah Yi who was calm and composed, Wu Ma and Yue'er were both holding their bowls and laughing.Although a New Year's Eve dinner is a bit weird, it doesn't affect the warmth.

When watching the New Year's Eve in the middle of the night, the sound of firecrackers outside was deafening, and the atmosphere was lively. Yue'er begged Ah Yi to set off firecrackers together.Xiao Yao raised her eyes and looked at Chu Xun who was standing by the door with a faint smile. For some reason, she felt as if she was looking at flowers in the mist. She quietly stood beside him and looked at Yue'er together. There was an indescribable tranquility and warmth when I lit the firecrackers with Ah Yi.

After the Chinese New Year, "Xunbufang" reopened again. Because of the injury on her hand, Xiao Yao recuperated at home and never went to help.It wasn't until half a month later that the injuries on her hands were completely healed. Even Ah Yi was amazed at this speed.Although Chu Xun didn't say anything, he could tell from his eyes that he was relieved.

However, Xiao Yao's hard life is not over yet. Seeing that her injury has healed, Chu Xun sent her to do this and that again. The reason is that she has gained weight in the past half a month and needs more activities.

Xiao Yao smiled wryly, who can blame this, he has been feeding him for more than half a month, two bowls of porridge in the morning, two bowls of rice at noon, and two bowls in the evening, this kind of cramming, can I not gain weight? ?
She had no choice but to make excuses, she could do whatever he asked her to do, and she also faintly felt that there seemed to be some subtle changes between the two of them.Especially besides working and practicing meditation, whenever I stop, I can't help but want to see him, and my chest is always sore and swollen, an indescribable feeling.

One day, Xiao Yao was busy with work in the cloth workshop, and saw that the pears sold on the street were big and fresh, and wondered if the young master's illness would be better if he often ate some pears stewed with rock sugar, so he bought some.After this delay, on the way home, I met an old woman about forty years old, dressed in colorful and vulgar clothes, who suddenly jumped out of the alley and blocked her way.

"You are Xiao Yao, Miss Xiao, right?" The woman looked at her with the eyes of picking goods, and her tone was contemptuous.

"I am, this aunt has something to do with me." Although Xiao Yao didn't like this man's eyes and attitude, she still asked with a habitual smile with the skills cultivated in "Xunbufang".

"Auntie?" The aunt was obviously upset when she heard the address, "I'm not much older than you, so I just call you Sister Li. You know, Sister Li is the top matchmaker in Tangchi Town. It's your luck to come today, Someone has taken a fancy to you, and asked me to come to your door and say hello to you."

These days, matchmakers always stop people on the street?Xiao Yao didn't have the slightest interest after listening to it, and she didn't bother to watch her directly go around and say: "Ma'am, I'm not interested in this marriage."

Seeing that the other party was so ungrateful, Matchmaker Li's face turned dark and ugly.How can I say that I am a person who wants face. When she arrived at Chu's house, she had already lost face once, and was driven out by a little girl with a broom.At this moment, I got another cold face from the girl, and at the moment I felt angry and hated, I stomped my feet and said: "I knew it! What kind of good stuff can be raised by someone who has been a child molester? Those people who are not on the stage, bah, I really think it's rare for me to talk about this marriage!"

As she spoke, Matchmaker Li twisted her waist, turned around and wanted to leave.But before she twisted it twice, she felt a pain in her wrist. The girl who was smiling just now was pinching her wrist, and looked at herself coldly: "What did you just say?"

Because the aura exuded by the girl was too fierce, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and stammered: "...I didn't say it alone, I wasn't lying...everyone in the town knows...the one whose surname is Chu He used to be a child molester of the former prime minister!"

All of a sudden, she felt the tension on her wrist suddenly loosen, she quickly broke away from that hand, and ran without looking back, "If you don't believe me, you can ask other people, they all know!"

Xiao Yao didn't bother, she carried the pear and walked home slowly step by step, but every step she took, her heart felt a little pain.It's only a few short streets from the cloth shop to the house, but she didn't come to the door until the setting sun was setting.At the door, Chu Xun was standing there watching the flow of people passing by, like a picture scroll as always, making people unable to take their eyes off it.

At this time, someone passed by her, and she could hear the other party spat in an inaudible voice: "Hey, I stand at the door like a petty official every day, lest people don't know what I'm after!"

Xiao Yao's intuition faltered, and she quickened her pace and walked to the gate.

"I'm back," he looked at her with a faint smile, "it seems a bit late today."

"I bought pears for the young master, but I was delayed on the way." She tried her best not to sound a little weird, and handed the pears to him.

"You really have a heart." Chu Xun didn't hesitate, took one and wiped it on his body, then started to eat it in one bite, and took the time to reply, "Pears are good, very sweet."

Xiao Yao held back her mouth, her heart was sore, she just stood beside him and didn't go in, she just wanted to look at him so that she could feel better.

"I was born in Fengyang. There are seven children in my family, ranking fifth. When I was eight years old, my parents sold me to the prime minister's mansion in exchange for the capital of my brother to marry a wife. And the prime minister is naturally fond of Yuse, likes to raise boys, and I have stayed by his side to serve him for the next five years. I have heard and seen that there are immortals in this world when I was in the prime minister's mansion. It was not until the sixth year that he offended him. A fairy was beheaded. I was released together with other people in the mansion. Fortunately, I saved some money in the past five years, and then I came all the way from Fengyang. When I came here, I didn’t want to leave, so I settled down Come down. Xiao Yao, what else do you want to ask?"

His voice was slow, mellow and sweet, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, calm and waveless.Xiao Yao only felt her heart beating and the pain was unbearable, but she could only choke out a sentence: "We are a family, we do everything."

"I know." Chu Xun smiled, "Then Xiao Yao, the sadness in your eyes is sympathy?"

pity? !She immediately shook her head and opened her mouth to explain, but she couldn't find an adjective to describe the feeling in her heart. In the end, she could only open her eyes anxiously, and looked at him with a blushing face.She wants to say that as long as he is alive, as long as he is Chu Xun, she will feel happy and warm, and nothing else matters.

"Puchi", seeing her in a hurry, he couldn't help laughing out loud, and threw the fruit core far away, "I know, don't worry, I'm not going to tease you."

"Look, Xiao Yao, there are all kinds of residents in this small town. In fact, when I first came, they were very kind to me, and everyone comforted me: I don't need to pay too much attention to the previous things, it was the fault of that beast. Especially that aunt..." He pointed to a fat woman in a steamed bun shop not far away, and when the woman saw his finger pointing at her, she immediately spat in disgust, "She also sent me for a month But after a year, two years later, gradually my life became better and better, and my smiles became more and more, but their attitude towards me was also gradually changing. Then in the blink of an eye, I somehow became This is how it is now. But ah..."

He suddenly tilted his head and looked at her with a smile, there was only a hint of slyness in his eyes, without the slightest pain: "I've already walked out, how can I live back because of their eyes and words, let's just live a good life, Whose heart is self-pitying? Xiao Yao, do you see that I am living a better life than all of them?"

Xiao Yao instantly felt warm all over, and a kind of joy from the bottom of her heart slowly gushed out.It was also at this time that she understood why the people here were a little afraid of Chu Xun, because he had a pair of transparent eyes that could see through everything.

She smiled happily, "Our family is happier than anyone else, young master, let's go back to eat."

At this moment, he also smiled brilliantly, leaned down slightly, and whispered in her ear: "Xiao Yao, thank you for your pears."

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, his warm lips brushed her cheeks like soft feathers, and a hot feeling rushed into Xiao Yao's limbs in an instant.

As a result, she was in a trance all night, and no matter what she did, the warm and wet touch echoed in her mind.In the middle of the night, when she couldn't sleep, she suddenly felt that her mind was burning as if it was being burned by fire, and a light cluster the size of an egg flew out of her mind in a blur.Flying back and forth before her eyes.

"Hey, how can I be so unlucky?!"

Why did this voice that appeared directly in my mind sound so familiar and disgusting? !
Looking at the ball of light again, after Xiao Yao confirmed that it was not a dream, her expression immediately turned ferocious, and she raised her hand to grab the ball of light, "Believe it or not, I can make you even more unlucky!"
