He held Ling Shu's hand, held the stone together, and pressed it against his cheek. He also had a slight fever, so his cheeks were warm. Ling Shu looked down at him, and said, "It's not that I don't want to keep you. You have a special status, and it's inconvenient to stay here. One day, your brother will find him. I don't want to be hunted down again."
Yang Ye said: "What is my special status? I was slapped out by the emperor's brother. He said that I would never see him again. Now... I am not even as good as you. Look at it," he took out a Empty purse: "I'm penniless. At least you still have a courtyard, a wine shop, someone to cook for you, and a fire wall in the house. I don't have anything. If you don't want me, Where do you want me to go? Go to the street to beg for food?"
He raised his eyes and looked at Ling Shu with tears in his eyes: "When I was in Luoyang, I always thought about you, and I couldn't hold others in my heart anymore. I don't want the emperor, I don't want the copper, I don't want the title. You don’t want anything anymore, and you have come all the way to come here. But you said you don’t want me, so you don’t want me, are you worthy of your conscience?”
He accidentally reverted to his old ways, nagging endlessly, still looking hard to dismiss. Ling Shu's face became weird, he pondered for a moment, and said lightly: "A few days ago, the doctor came to take your pulse and said that your fever is related to the cold, but the root cause is not here. You are a martial arts practitioner, and you are physically strong. A few days is nothing. Your illness is serious now, but it is related to your kidney deficiency. He also said that you have to be careful in the past three months, otherwise this life may be wasted. What good deeds did you do in the capital? Son, still tricking me here? You are sorry for your own conscience. "
Yang Ye was taken aback, and suddenly his face turned red. This time it wasn't a fever, and then he opened his mouth and cursed: "Where did the Mongolian doctor come from, talking nonsense and slandering the young master here! Ling Shu, don't believe what he said, you don't know what to say." Don't believe it! How can there be a good doctor in this wild mountain?"
Ling Shu's face was sullen, and he didn't say a word, thinking that he believed in the doctor's words. Yang Ye didn't see it well, so he hurriedly rubbed over his leg, leaned on his knee and refused to get up: "You can't drive me away! I won't let you feed me for nothing, I can do a lot of work, I can help It's your favor, I'm very useful, just try it and you'll know."
Ling Shu heard his bragging smooth, frowned and said: "You get up first."
Yang Ye said: "I won't get up, I won't get up if you don't agree!"
Ling Shu said helplessly: "Okay then, if you say you are useful, what will you do?"
Yang Ye said: "I will help make wine here, and I can also drive the car. I can go outside the mountain to help Xiaoshanzi greet the wine shop, and I can serve tea, water, and food. I will also settle accounts. I will cook for you I do laundry, I repair the house... I..." Thinking of the fence behind his house, he said: "I will also build a fence to prevent wild dogs from coming in."
The last sentence sounded a bit awkward, Ling Shu couldn't help but said, "I don't have wild dogs here."
Yang Ye said: "That...in this mountain, I see that the back mountain is steep and deep, there must be a lot of wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, you have to be careful, it is better to have me as a company."
Ling Shu let out a long breath, and said to himself, "You are not as good as a wolf, a tiger, and a leopard." He didn't want to say any more, so he said, "You should be well, go to sleep."
Yang Ye saw that his expression was calm, and he didn't have to chase him away, so he felt a little more comforted, so he climbed into bed by himself, got into the quilt, and couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Then how have you slept these few days?"
Ling Shu ignored him, and went to look at the account book. Yang Ye said: "I think this bed is not small enough for the two of us to sleep together. I promise I won't bully you. Come here, okay? It's warm for the two of us to sleep together. Of course I I'm sick, I still have a fever, and I'm powerless. So you can rest easy and sleep."
Ling Shu said: "No, you can go to sleep."
Yang Ye hesitated for a moment, seeing that Ling Shu just lowered his head to settle accounts, he knew that he would not change his mind easily, so he just kept his mouth shut, but squinted his eyes and looked at Ling Shu quietly. After a while, he got up to pack his things, then wrapped himself in a green cotton cloak, and went out. Yang Ye waited for a while, but never saw him come in again.
He finally understood that Ling Shu hadn't slept in this room for the past few days, so he couldn't help being a little disappointed, but he didn't forcefully return the piece of golden silk and red bamboo jade to himself, but he was secretly happy. After tossing and turning for a while, I had to fall asleep by myself.
After all, Yang Ye was still young, this time he couldn't compare to the depression in Luoyang, the cold came and went quickly. Kuang used to have a strong foundation, but he felt better the next day. In the morning, I follow Ling Shu to eat some porridge and salted eggs randomly, and before noon, my stomach growls. He looked awkwardly at Ling Shu who was sitting at the desk and was serious about the accounts. Ling Shu didn't look at him, and said calmly, "Xiao Shanzi will bring the food later. I told Xie Niang to make an extra portion."
Sure enough, around noon, Xiao Shanzi drove over with a carriage, this time it was a big food basket. Just before everything goes out, the aroma is already coming.
Yang Ye didn't eat properly for several days, and salivated and looked forward to it. When the food was ready, he couldn't wait to rush over, without looking up at others, and swept away half of the earthen pot of chicken soup with mushroom slices, a plate of steamed bracken, a bowl of roasted bacon, and four other meat buns. And Kong just burped contentedly.
Ling Shu just ate a bowl of soup. When he looked up, he saw that the cups and plates were messed up. He frowned and looked at Yang Ye. After a while, he got up and went out of the room, standing on the porch. Xiao Shanzi saw that his expression was not right, so she followed him out to look at him, and heard Ling Shu whisper: "Eat so much."
Xiaoshanzi said: "Do you think she eats too much? But mother often said: 'If you can afford to feed pigs, build a pen, and marry a wife, you must be able to manage food.' Although our mountains are remote, there is no shortage of food." Yes, if you don’t let her eat, others will laugh at you. What’s more, I told my parents about your wife at the foot of the mountain yesterday. I will keep you alive first, and I will have to wait until the day you change your mind."
Hearing this, Ling Shu held his breath tightly in his chest, and became more and more sullen and remained silent. Xiao Shanzi didn't dare to say any more, and went down the mountain.
When Yang Ye recovered, he found that Ling Shu was sleeping on a simple bed next door, and the fire wall next door hadn't passed through. The night in this winter mountain was very cold, far less comfortable than here.
Yang Ye felt distressed, and followed him that night, standing at the door and persuading him: "It's too cold here, why don't you come over here? As long as you don't want to, I won't touch you at all. Of course, if you are interested in me, then That's another matter."
Ling Shu remained silent, still ignoring him.
Yang Ye said: "I swear that I will never bully you in the future. I will hold back when I am uncomfortable. I will do what I say. Ling Shu, I used to be rough on you before, and it was all my fault. You see, I am sick now. Also...return that falsehood, I'll be thankful if you don't get rough on me, what else can I make trouble with? Just come here, okay?"
Ling Shu jumped up and rushed over, pushed him out of the door, and closed the door.
On the second night, Yang Ye took advantage of Ling Shu's absence and moved to the small bed next door. Ling Shu came in in the dark, saw that there was another person on the bed, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yang Ye said: "Nothing. You are the host and I am the guest. I can't occupy the dove's nest. Go to the next door."
Ling Shu glanced at him, and went to the next door bluntly.
Yang Ye was pampered and spoiled since he was a child, and he had never experienced such hardships. He lived in a cold room for three days, and finally he was too cold to bear, and his cold showed signs of recurring. One day when Xiao Shanzi came to fetch wine, Qia Lingshu didn't know where he was, so he called Xiao Shanzi to help, and carried his little bed to the next room, and put it opposite Ling Shu's big bed.
He fell asleep that night, warm and comfortable, and Ling Shu didn't come back until almost midnight, with water dripping from his hair, as if he had taken a bath somewhere. He was taken aback when he came in, and stared blankly at Yang Ye and his little bed.
Yang Ye didn't fall asleep, and hurriedly explained: "It's too cold next door. If I catch a cold again, maybe I won't survive. You don't want someone to die here, do you?"
Ling Shu didn't say much, he blew out the candles by himself, went to the big bed to undress and went to bed, and soon he breathed evenly and fell asleep. Yang Ye stared intently at his back lying on his side, secretly delighted in his heart, and felt that the future was bright.
A few days later, Yang Ye felt that he had fully recovered, so he couldn't stop slipping around the corridor. Every time Xiaoshanzi came over to pack wine and go down the mountain, in order to fulfill his promise not to eat and live for nothing, he hurried to help unload and load the car, and then took the basket of meals over, and placed it on the table by himself. Call Ling Shu to come over for dinner, so he naturally has to follow suit. Sometimes Ling Shu didn't look at him, and sometimes he glanced at him when he talked too much, but he didn't pay much attention to him, presumably because he remembered the hatred of kidney deficiency with him.
Yang Ye soon got to know Xiao Shanzi very well, and they were very affectionate as brothers. He left Ling Shu aside and was deserted.
On this day, Yang Ye heard that there was a gathering in Wushan County, next to the mountain, so he took Ling Shu's green cotton cloak and wrapped himself tightly. It just so happened that there were still some taels of silver in the hidden pocket on the lining, so he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced, and he sat on the side of the cart and followed Xiao Shanzi out of the mountain.
The two of them chattered vigorously on the road, and Yang Ye took the opportunity to test: "Xiao Shanzi, do you think you are okay, Big Brother Ling Shu?
Xiao Shanzi said: "You are with elder brother every day, why come to ask me instead?"
Yang Ye sighed: "Although I'm with him every day, I offended me before, so he didn't want to talk to me. People say that the prodigal son won't give me money when he returns, so he was born to refuse to give me this opportunity. Alas, in this world Although I am big, who is willing to help this poor man like me?"
His words were earnest and his tone was distressed, Xiao Shanzi felt sad when he heard it, and couldn't help but glanced at him with sympathy, Yang Ye saw it in his eyes, and took the opportunity to ask: "He...has anyone else come to look for him recently? Over him? For example, handsome men and beautiful women..."
Xiao Shanzi thought about it seriously for a moment, then frowned and said, "There is one, Qian Ning from the county government over the mountain, who is an executioner..." Before he finished speaking, he was suddenly grabbed by Yang Ye Raised his arm: "What? Someone came to seduce him? I said that he ignored me for three days and two days. It turned out that it was not because of my kidney deficiency. It turned out that he wanted to get out of the wall! You said that person called What is it? Channing? How old is it? What does it look like? Is it a coquettish-looking boy?"
Xiao Shanzi was grabbed by his arm, his face paled from the pain, and he was trembling all over: "It hurts... please forgive me, take it easy! Brother Yang, let me go quickly..." He already knew that Yang Ye was indeed a man. The wife and husband are just teasing themselves. He is still young and a little confused, so he doesn't care about it, but he doesn't understand why these two men get mixed up, don't they both marry a wife?
Yang Ye noticed that his face had changed, so he hurriedly let go, and said in a good voice, "Speak slowly, why did that fellow come to see you, Brother Ling Shu?"
Xiao Shanzi said: "I didn't do anything. Every time the two sat together, drinking tea and wine, I would listen to what they could say for a while, but it was about how to punish a prisoner. It sounded disgusting, so I wouldn't Listen. I see that Qian Ning admires Brother Ling very much. Every time he comes, he brings him a lot of gifts and invites him to watch the execution of prisoners in the county town. He has been there probably two or three times. It has been snowing in the mountains for the past few months. I think Because it was inconvenient to walk, that person never came again."
Yang Ye sneered and said: "It turns out that the smell is like-minded! Since you are so infatuated, let's continue. What are you afraid of after a few snowfalls? Will this stop him from moving forward? What kind of shit, I don't know you Brother Ling has degenerated to such an extent that he can fool around with a low-level executioner. Just wait, if Qian Ning dares to come again, let me see if I don't beat him to the ground!"
Xiao Shanzi glanced at him, and suddenly said: "He and Brother Ling are talking and laughing, and they seem to get along well, Brother Ling, will you beat him?"
