He didn't say anything about the ointment, just like Qu Xingshu was a piece of paper, he finished painting, put it there, turned his head and walked out.
Qu Xingshu quickly followed him out, he wanted to see where Xue Zhong had gone, but Xue Luo was still gnawing on his deer in the distance, even if Qu Xingshu ate the bear heart and leopard gall, he couldn't cure his gallbladder. Little, he was so scared to death by a thunderstorm, he really wanted to go down the mountain to explain to Xue Zhong, but he couldn't move any further.
Xue Luo is terrible. .
All the houses are covered with a thick layer of snow. These buildings are dotted all over the mountain, and there are many people living there. They are full of vitality, but Qu Xingshu doesn’t know anyone.
I can only sit on the threshold with my chin up, watching the crowds coming and going, from time to time I dare to look at Xue Luo who is gnawing deer, the mountain wind is chilly, he really misses being in the Furong courtyard, getting into the warm embrace of the Taoist priest The feeling of sleeping at ease.
Chapter 25
During dinner, someone shouted that it was time to eat, and everyone ran to the prince's courtyard, and Qu Xingshu followed, but found that he could not grab a seat or food at all, and when he returned to his hut hungry, he found that the bedding gone too.
He was startled, is this a thief?When I was living in a country house decades ago, I also lost a bedding once.He didn't dare to ask, so he lay down on the prickly straw to rest. After closing the door, the wind came in through the crack of the door, and it was colder inside the room than outside.
After eating, Xiao Qingling thought, she was going to be angry with Xue Zhong before, why did she come back after applying medicine to Qu Xingshu when she went to him at noon?Changed into a loose round-neck short robe and black trousers, holding two bows and a pot of arrows on his back, he embarked on the road of irritating people again.
Xue Zhong was going to come to the mountains at night to read today's correspondence, and at that time Xiao Qingling was going to deal a fatal blow to this Taoist priest who pretended to be light and indifferent, but secretly fell in love with a beautiful young man.
"I heard from Xiao Pin that you are very accurate in archery, how about it, teach me?" He planned his opening remarks in his mind, and pushed open the door of Qu Xingshu's room, but was stunned by the scene in front of him.
There is no bedding in the winter, curled up in the corner and shivering with cold, red hands and feet, golden hair against the dirty wall, it looks like precious silk has come into intimate contact with the dirty ground, for some reason Xiao Qingling feels that pity.
Seeing him coming, Qu Xingshu sat up tremblingly, his jaw trembling uncontrollably, the weather was too cold.
"Go, go out and shoot arrows." Seeing that he could still move, Xiao Qingling thought that moving his body would also help him fight the cold.
He took Qu Xingshu's hand, and the two came to a hillside, Qu Xingshu became more and more angry, did the Taoist priest not care about his life or death?This is not a place for people to stay at all!No food, no bedding, no one knew that he froze to death like this.
After walking on the hillside for a while, he didn't feel so cold anymore. He followed Xiao Lan and stopped in front of a forest, took a bow, and shot at a black stone in the distance with an arrow. The stone was thrown out.
"It's so accurate, you can shoot so far?" Xiao Lan was surprised.
He also imitated Qu Xingshu's posture, opened the bow, put on the arrow, and shot an arrow, trying to shoot a thick branch on the ground in the distance, but the arrow flew into the snow.
Qu Xingshu knew that Xiao Lan wanted to imitate him, but his posture was so ugly that it was unbearable. He stood behind the prince, they were about the same height, and Qu Xingshu corrected the posture of Xiao Lan's arms and legs.
"Okay, don't take too long to draw the bow, don't aim for so long, the longer you shoot, the more you will miss it." Qu Xingshu instructed, he didn't learn archery for a long time, but he just told the prince what he learned. .
Xiao Lan's accomplishments in archery can be described as 'terrible'. Xue Zhong never blushed with this boy who was almost his son, but because Xiao Lan's archery skills were so stinky, Xue Zhong couldn't control his emotions once. Call him an elm head.
Thinking back, Xiao Lan couldn't help snorting. He followed Qu Xingshu's command and shot another arrow. This time it was much better, but still failed to hit the branch.
Qu Xingshu had no choice but to hold Xiao Lan's hands with both hands, opened Xiao Lan's legs with his feet, almost held him in his arms, and forcibly corrected his posture.
At this time, Xiao Lan saw a pair of eyes staring at the two of them in the small courtyard under the hillside.
Undoubtedly, those eyes that glow like wild wolves in the dark are Xue Zhong.Xue Zhong's eyesight is not good at night, sometimes in order to see things clearly, he uses spells to pour aura into his eyes to make them glow.
Xiao Lan was about to make some moves, such as cuddling with Qu Xingshu, but he didn't expect the young man behind him to act first, put his face on his neck, and rubbed him affectionately.
The glowing eyes in the small courtyard below the mountain went out.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Lan threw away the bow and laughed heartily. Nothing could be more fun than this. Looking at the Taoist Xue Zhong who was silent in the ancient well, Xiao Lan really wanted to take a closer look at Xue Zhong because he was jealous and angry. The expression, the serious face that has been together day and night for several years, what will become of the childish jealousy at this moment.
wrong!Xiao Lan looked back at the young fox demon, "You..."
What were you doing just now?
Qu Xingshu's cheeks felt hot when he saw him, but under the cover of night, his mind was calm.The young fox demon also wanted to take a good breath and grow up.
"I have to say something hurtful," Xiao Lan said seriously, "I don't like men very much..."
Qu Xingshu wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Xiao Lan, "If you really like me, I can give you a chance, but you have to do it step by step. Actually... I don't care who it is. You have to be prepared, I won't I will be obsessed with Fengyue like Xue Zhong... Uh, you...you are pretty good-looking, I can try...but you have to give me time."
Chapter 26
'No, listen to me! ',' I'll go down first, and you will too. . ''Don't go, just listen to my explanation'. .
Xiao Lan walked briskly and disappeared at the end of the mountain road with a nervous expression. Qu Xingshu felt that something serious was about to happen. He didn't care about this dark-skinned man at all. Why couldn't he stop and listen to his own explanation.
The biting cold wind accompanied by the howling wolves in the distant forest made Qu Xingshu shiver uncontrollably. He walked down the hill slowly with his arms around his shoulders, his stomach rumbling. He hadn't had any water or rice since noon. Thirsty and hungry, I really want to just walk down the mountain, to the Furong Courtyard, where there is water, delicious food, warm quilts and a gentle Taoist priest, everything is there.
But he couldn't go back. He returned to his hut with his eyes downcast, lying on the bed and fell asleep in a daze. He hasn't slept in such a simple place for a long time, but Qu Xingshu is not afraid, he was raised by a farmer Little fox demon, I haven't seen any hard days. He lived with his grandfather for many years when he was cold and hungry.
In the dream, he dreamed of fire, fox den, mother's blood and tears, and Orion's machete. He yelled "Mom, Mom" vaguely, kicking his feet on the hard wall and waking up in pain.
It's been a long time, so long that he can't remember the appearance of his mother and fellow clansmen, why is he still having this kind of dream every day.
Qu Xingshu sat cross-legged on the bed, put his hands on his forehead and lowered his head to think about something. Outside the yard, Xiao Qingling was walking around with a pair of bows and arrows behind his back. He wanted to go in several times to see what Qu Xingshu was doing, but he kept hearing movement inside. But he was embarrassed.
Xiao Qingling's first love stopped at holding hands. The old official's daughter never confessed to him, nor did she do anything like lovers. At that time, both of them were only twelve or thirteen years old. They just felt like each other and held hands everywhere every day. run and play.
He was in love at the beginning, and after being suppressed by the old minister, he is now in his 20s, and his heart is like a dead tree. When he sees a woman, he doesn't think about marriage, but wants to figure out how much combat power this woman has and what he can do for himself. He wholeheartedly All of them are focusing on the great cause of reset.
Xiao Qingling didn't know that Qu Xingshu was very hungry and cold at the moment, if he knew, he would probably help him as a friend.
But Qu Xingshu's weak temperament hides a little desire to be stronger, and he is unwilling to ask for help for this matter. He doesn't know how to speak like a strange prince. ', but the Taoist master is so powerful, doesn't he know his current situation?
It was the Taoist priest who tortured me on purpose, Qu Xingshu thought, the reason he couldn't think of, he was obviously very good, anyway, it was the Taoist priest's intention.
In the early morning of the next day, Xue Luo sat there again holding the dead deer and gnawed on it. He gnawed on it all day yesterday, dripping with blood, disgusting to death.Qu Xingshu was so hungry that he wanted to go out for a walk, stepped on a few wooden boxes and quietly climbed up to the roof, walked around Xue Luo, jumped off the roof and walked aimlessly along the forest path.
The sound of hurried footsteps came up from behind, Qu Xingshu turned to look vigilantly, and found that it was a figure that was too familiar, Xue Zhong.
Qu Xingshu laughed, his eyes were bright, but when Xue Zhong saw him, his face was expressionless and he just walked over without saying hello.
From his sleeve, a cloth bag fell out and fell to the ground, revealing a peeled egg. There should be a few more in the cloth bag.Qu Xingshu smelled a tempting aroma, but he was not in the mood to eat at this time, so he picked up the cloth bag and held it in his hand.
"Come back!" He said to Xue Zhong, who rushed over, "Don't be hypocritical, you don't know if you dropped such a heavy cloth package, right? Are you able to pretend that you don't know when you have a broken arm and leg and turn around and leave?"
Xue Zhong didn't turn his head back, he was about to go out of range, Qu Xingshu slammed the cloth bag over with all his strength, he really hoped that he could hit Daochang's head so hard, knock him unconscious on the ground, and then Qu Xingshu Xing Shu can tie him up and pierce the soles of his feet with a tree branch, and interrogate him carefully why he treats him like this all of a sudden.
But the cloth bag fell on the tree trunk beside Xue Zhong, Xue Zhong froze and turned around
