Chapter 42 3

Ao Bing, who pays attention to food and sleep, seldom talks when eating, but the man called Nezha talks a lot of nonsense. While eating, he also talks about his experience of hunting today. Sang Rou, who is sitting opposite him Several times I tried to cover his mouth with vegetables, but to no avail.

After a ten-day meal, after all the cups and bowls on the table were put away, Ao Bing took a small stove and started to make tea. After the charcoal fire was turned on, the tea foam was added. Set aside, after the tea boils for three times, pour it out and add foam to make a good pot of tea.

Nezha, who was pressed by Ao Bing and was sitting at the table, was responsible for staring at Ao Bing's hands from the beginning to the end. When the other party rolled up his sleeves, he would look at his wrist, and when the other party put the saucer, he would look at his fingertips, waiting for Ao Bing to cook. When the tea was about to be drunk, he just looked at his neck and chin. Anyway, his eyes never left the other party from the beginning to the end.

"Are you looking forward to it?"

After drinking tea, Ao Bing held up the stirring spoon and hit Nezha on the head. This guy is always so clingy, obviously he is no longer a child.

"If you don't see it well, if you don't see it enough, if you don't leave the immortal, I will have to see it for the rest of my life."

"Nonsense." Twirling the rim of the purple sand cup with both hands, Ao Bing smelled the aroma of the tea, then waved for Sang Rou to come and taste it.

"It's not nonsense, that's what Zha thinks."

Already accustomed to the drama of the other party's confession every day, Sang Rou sat down and started drinking tea on her own. Anyway, if this Li Nezha can catch up with the gods, she will change her name to his surname in the future, let's call her Li Sangrou!

"What if I can't be with you for the rest of my life?"

"Then I will remember you forever."

Opening his eyes and blinking pale, Ao Bing stroked his forehead and felt that the words sounded familiar, but in the next second Nezha took out an oilcloth bag from his arms like a magic trick.

"I exchanged my prey for freshly baked sesame seed cakes, sprinkled with minced meat, one bite at a time, and it tastes delicious even when it's cold, Immortal, try it."

——When you have a body, I will take you to eat sesame seed cakes from the south of the city, apricots from the west of the city, wontons from the east of the city, and sesame candies from Xiaoliushu...

Looking at the pancake meat foam in front of him, Ao Bing frowned, he didn't look happy like that, he seemed a little confused, but Li Nezha was in a good mood now, so he grabbed one and handed it to Ao Bing's mouth .

The eyes stared at by the other party, the mouth involuntarily took a bite, and when the biscuits were eaten, Ao Bing covered the corners of his mouth and became embarrassed.

"You are used to bullying people, don't show off your things here."

Standing up and rolling up the cloth bag, Sang Rou thought it would be better to take it into the back kitchen and set a plate.

From noon to night, Nezha shuttled around the bamboo building. Sometimes Sangrou was frightened when she was collecting things, and two furry rabbit ears would pop out of her head. Nezha walked around the rabbit spirit twice, and then Worried about the opponent's weak skill.

While Li Nezha went hunting in the morning, he would go to the back mountain to find some herbs and wild vegetables in the afternoon. When the other party went out, Ao Bing would sit alone on the soft bed beside the bed, coughing while reading a booklet, and the broken bones under the corner of his forehead Faying's eyes are bright.

Nezha squatted next to the other party, tilting his head to watch, until night fell, Li Nezha ran back blah, and he woke up from his addiction, and then saw the flash of joy on Ao Bing's face.

Coming down from the soft slope, the toes without shoes touched the ground, and the blue steps lined up against Ao Bing, as if fresh snow was piled up. When he went down the stairs, the joy on his face subsided again. In the middle of it, it seems that the joy at that moment was nothing more than Nezha's eyes.

——That day, in order to meet the Emperor of Heaven, he went up the nine ladders with bare feet and hair, and kowtowed at the gate of heaven nine times. Every step on the steps was dripping with blood, but he walked without hesitation. Do you know why?

Standing in the yard, Nezha watched Ao Bing being picked up by a man, and then the snow-white ears were stained with crimson, and a corner of his heart collapsed because of those words. He did not see the scene of Ao Bing going to heaven, but He could think of the humiliation, disobedience and pain in the other party's heart.

All the gods in the mortal world and the nine heavens regard him as a demon and ghost, and hate him and abandon him, but Ao Bing has to go, he has no choice or the right to stop.

"I found a good thing, you see."

Putting down the basket, Li Nezha found a small grass with a slender root and three leaves from a pile of wild vegetables. Li Nezha carefully put it in Ao Bing's hand, and then said.

"The farmers in the village said that this is deer live grass, which can cure blood congestion, dissolve bones, and have the effect of bringing the dead back to life."

Nezha came in from the courtyard and saw the herb in Ao Bing's hand. Although it looked like a god of heaven, it had no fairy spirit. If the god grass was so easy to get, the world would not be in chaos.

Staring down at the herbal medicine in his hand, Ao Bing's back felt numb, and suddenly he stretched out his hand to throw it away, then backed away frantically, and finally staggered to sit on the table.

Startled by the horror in the opponent's eyes, Li Nezha knelt down carefully, then reached out to help Ao Bing, but the opponent waved him away.

"What's the matter with you, fairy?"

"Don't touch it, don't touch it, Nezha."

Shui Jian's eyes were filled with pain, and Ao Bing coughed violently twice, pressing his chest, and then sprayed a mouthful of fishy sweetness on Li Nezha's arm.

Frightened by Ao Bing's appearance, Li Nezha jumped up on the spot, threw the things away and repeatedly promised that he would never touch this deer grass again.

"I won't touch it anymore. If you say no, I will definitely not even look at it. If you say go east, I will go east. If you make me jump into the sea, I will never walk. So don't be angry, okay?"

Stretching out his hand to wipe the wetness from Ao Bing's eyes, Li Nezha opened his arms and hugged him into his arms, then patted his bony back to comfort him gently.

Nezha didn't know what was happening in front of him. His fingertips pierced through the void and wiped away the blood foam from the corner of Ao Bing's mouth. He looked back at the door, and the discarded herbal medicine was still trembling slightly on the ground. Bitter, hard to get through.After Ao Bing calmed down, Li Nezha found out the sesame candy again, and traveled at least ten miles to the town. He didn't know how the other party could run away so far while working.

"Eat something sweet when you feel bitter, and then you won't be bitter."

While talking, the man pinched a piece of candy and stuffed it into Ao Bing's mouth. After seeing the little dragon king smile with his eyebrows bent, Li Nezha also grinned silly for a while.

Dinner was all soup, and Ao Bing became tired after a little bit of use. He sat at the table, nodded to the candle, and was helped back into the house by Li Nezha.

After stumbling and washing, Ao Bing lay awake again on the bed. He tilted his head to look at Li Nezha who was about to turn off the lights, and asked suddenly.

"If one day you want to go to an extremely cold and extremely dark place with me, and you won't be able to get out for a hundred or a thousand years, will you hate me?"

Putting down the lampshade in his hand, Nezha Li scratched his chin and asked.

"Will you be there too?"

"I'm here."

"You stayed there with me?"

"Correct."

"Then it's too late for me to be happy. If I can stay in the same place with you for a long time, life after life, all loneliness and loneliness will disappear. For such a good thing, I should be happy, and how can I hate each other?"

"You really won't hate me?" He tilted his face and pointed his sour red nose into the bed. Ao Bing didn't know what he was talking about. He just felt bitter, tired, and tired. He was already unable to support himself, as if the world was a drop in the ground, and he was the only one left.

"I don't hate it. If the place is bad and I don't like it, I will tell you of course. If you want to come, you won't force me to stay. If I'm here, it's only because I want to."

If I want to stay by your side, even if there is no limit to the sea of ​​suffering, I will never look back.

"Okay." He opened his mouth and agreed gently.

After Li Nezha extinguished the candle and went out, Ao Bing curled up and trembled violently.

Nezha was standing by the bed back and forth but bumped into each other, his brow was sweating. In the middle of the night, the shivering on Ao Bing finally passed away. Nezha thought that the other party was asleep, but he was just beside the bed Sitting down, I heard Ao Bing's faint cry.

"Nezha..."

Nezha raised his eyes and jumped up suddenly. Nezha leaned down and put his hands on Ao Bing's side, then tilted his head and looked at the other person's face. There were still traces of tears, but he stopped crying blood.

"You, can you see me?"

Wiping his face with his sleeves twisted, Ao Bing turned around to look at the guy above his head, then shook his head and said.

"I couldn't have seen it."

"Is it okay now?" With his mouth open, he reached out and touched Ao Bing's cheek, and now Nezha could touch it.

"I have demons in my heart, and the ancestor gave me supernatural powers to help me save the demons."

"That guy is your demon?" To be honest, Nezha was a little jealous. Although the other party had the same name as himself, it wasn't him.

"Yes." Repaying the filial piety of his parents, repaying the faults of his family, and repaying the love of his son.

Ao Bing quickly passed the first two floors, but he couldn't get out of the third floor.

"It's like a dream." In the dream, the butterflies were flying and the troubles were gone. He and Nezha were making tea and playing the piano, like a pair of ordinary people in the world. They were the most ordinary and simple. He couldn't bear these things, even if they were fake.

"You don't have me in your dreams." He lowered his head and knocked on Ao Bing's forehead unwillingly. Now Nezha doesn't know whether he should be lucky or sad.

"Pfft." With his lips pursed, Ao Bing burst out laughing, stretched out his hand and pinched Mowan's cheek, it was still so soft and warm.

"Wrong."

It should be said that you are all in my dreams.

The biscuits, sour apricots, and sesame candies you promised to bring me.

You promise me not to drink Mengpo soup, and we will meet again in the next life.

You promised to find me with the birds in the sky, and fill the mountains and seas with the tartary buckwheat.

Now that the promise has come true and the demons are gone, they should enjoy the rest of their lives.

"Even if it's a mistake, I'm here to find you, you can go back with me."

Leaning over and kissing the side of Ao Bing's cold face, Nezha wanted to hug him, he wanted to soothe the pain between his brows, and he wanted to wipe away the blood from the corners of Ao Bing's mouth. No matter what the road ahead, now he just wants to do this for a while happiness is fine.

After closing his eyes and sighing for a moment, Ao Bing raised his chin, and met Nezha's fine grinding.

"Let's go back."

He said softly, but felt that the pain all over his body was thrown away along with these words, and remained in his dream.
