Chapter 11
The boy sat up, feeling a resistance from the corner of his clothes.
In his sleep, Xie Shuci tightly grasped the corner of his clothes, probably sensing his movement of getting up, thinking that the young man was about to leave, frowned anxiously, and clenched the corner of his clothes even tighter.
Xie An lowered his eyes, and his empty gaze stayed precisely on Xie Shuci's face.
Xie Shuci didn't sleep well, his posture was uncomfortable, and he even had nightmares.
Because cried not long ago, the redness in the corners of the eyes and the tip of the nose has not completely faded, and the slightly wet ink hair is scattered on the face, like a stroke of thick ink on white paper, which sets off the facial features more vividly.
Xie Shuci tilted his head in the crook of his arms, and the skin where his neck connects to the collarbone still had red marks from rubbing on Xie An's body, looking fragile and ambiguous.
Xie An's breathing was a little heavy, he wrapped Xie Shuci's hand on the corner of his clothes, and opened his warm fingers one by one, with an imperceptible cautiousness in his tough movements.
Whoever provokes the desire is naturally responsible for it.
In Xie An's past, there was never anything that required patience.
Xie An held Xie Shuci's right hand, lifted the quilt, and put that hand on himself.
Xie Shuci's empty palm was filled with residual heat, and he subconsciously tightened his five fingers.
Xie An paused, and there was an expression on his face that he didn't know whether it was joy or pain.
He stretched out his hand to Xie Shuci's lips, breathing gently from the tip of his nose onto his fingertips, he gently scratched Xie Shuci's slightly parted lips with his fingertips, but Xie Shuci did not respond.
He suddenly rubbed it vigorously.
Xie Shuci's breathing became chaotic, his nose wrinkled, and his palms tightened suddenly.
"Snapped!"
Xie An's face turned green, and he slapped Xie Shuci heavily on the back of his hand.
Xie Shuci shivered in pain, pursed his lips, and withdrew his hand back aggrievedly.
Xie Shuci had always been a heavy sleeper, and couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams. He probably thought he was still dreaming, so he let out a cry, but he hadn't woken up yet.
Xie An took a deep breath, and took Xie Shuci's retracted hand.
His skin is too white, and it is easy to leave marks when he touches it. After being slapped so firmly, the skin on the back of his hand immediately turned red.
Xie An gently rubbed the mark on the back of his hand with his thumb, the red mark was on his groin. The color is a little darker under the ravages.
Xie Shuci really healed, the scars forgot the pain, he was timid and frightened, afraid of being alone, so he felt the heat source, and subconsciously wanted to hold the heat source in his palm.
Xie An let him hold one of his fingers without any other movements, and gradually suppressed the little desire in his heart.
——You are so timid, why dare you keep me by your side?
This time Xie Shuci slept extremely uncomfortable!
When he regained consciousness, he felt pain all over his body. He opened his eyes and stared at the curtains on the bed for a long time. He felt different from what he saw yesterday. The distance was much farther, and his body was not soft. The mattress was covered with a corner of the quilt, and the corner of the quilt still fell off the bed.
After a few breaths, Xie Shuci came to his senses.
Grass, he slept on the ground all night!
"Hiss." Xie Shuci moved his arm, trying to sit up, but unexpectedly, his neck seemed to be broken.
"Tuk-tuk"
Suddenly there was the sound of fingers pulling the side of the bed.
Xie Shuci wrinkled his small face, endured the pain all over his body and sat up, seeing Xie An leaning on the head of the bed in his underwear, he probably sensed the movement below, trying to elicit a response from Xie Shuci.
Xie Shuci also tapped the head of the bed twice, telling Xie An that he was beside him.
Xie An probably didn't get out of bed after waking up. He didn't know that Xie Shuci had slept on the ground all night. He thought he was standing beside him, so he reached out his hand in mid-air to help him twice, but he didn't catch anyone.
Xie Shuci turned over Byakugan and muttered, "I'm on the ground."
Xie An couldn't hear the sound, and didn't catch Xie Shuci, so he frowned slightly. He lifted a corner of the quilt and wanted to get off the couch. When Xie Shuci saw it, he immediately opened his eyes wide. He had to step on himself when he got down, so a carp stood up stiffly, grinning and screaming for pain. While grabbing Xie An's hand.
"Damn it, I have to let the old doctor rub it for me later, what's the matter?" Xie Shuci complained in a low voice.
"I fell asleep last night, when did you go back?" Xie An said silently, grabbed Xie Shuci's hand, and pulled him to sit beside the bed.
Xie Shuci brushed the dust off his clothes before sitting on it.
He patted Xie An on the shoulder, motioning him to go inside, Xie An moved a little, Xie Shuci immediately lay down, and at the same time sighed, it was still comfortable to sleep on the bed.
Xie An thought he didn't see what he was saying, so he repeated it again.
Xie Shuci grabbed his hand and put it on his lips, he opened his mouth and said, "I'll go back when you fall asleep."
Xie An smiled: "How did you sleep?"
Xie Shuci smiled and said: "I slept very well, and it was not affected at all."
The smile on Xie An's lips deepened, "That's good."
Xie Shuci didn't lie down for too long, he was still thinking about what happened last night, after washing up with Xie An, he came to the inn lobby.
They walked down from the attic and found strangely that there were only a few hotel guests in the lobby, and the door was not even opened.
"Brother Xiaoci, what do you want to eat?" A Dong ran over to the two from behind the counter.
Xie Shuci led Xie An to sit down on his seat, and asked curiously, "Why didn't you open the door? Where's your father?"
A Dong sat down next to Xie Shuci, and generously stuffed the small windmill in Xie An's hand. During this period of time, he came to play with Xie Shuci, and felt that brother Xie An was too pitiful alone. When he was playing with brother Xiaoci, he would give his favorite toys to brother Xie An.
Xie An took it for granted, took the windmill, and moved the windmill with his round and slender index finger, which seemed not so out of place with the surroundings.
A Dong rested his chin on his little hand, frowned in distress, and said: "Just half an hour ago, a brother surnamed Li came. He said that he let that monster run away last night and was still hiding in our town." , all shops are not open today, they want to catch the monsters out as soon as possible."
"The monster ran away?" Xie Shuci raised his voice, "What is Li Song doing? Why can't he even catch a monster? He is still a young master."
A Dong glanced at him, "Brother Xiaoci, aren't you also a monk? Why don't you help catch monsters?"
Xie Shuci's face was numb and asked him to catch monsters?Not to mention that he has no cultivation base, even if his cultivation base is higher, if he sees a monster, let alone attack, he will probably faint from fright.
"Cough..." Xie Shuci coughed dryly covering his mouth, and said vaguely: "That's a little demon, and it's not my turn to make a move. If I make a move," he spread a pure white palm, in A DongHe gestured in front of him, "If you don't make a move, the monster will have to kneel in front of me and beg for mercy."
Xie An turned the small windmill, seemed to be in a good mood, and smiled inexplicably.
"Wow, really?" A Dong instantly turned into star eyes, looking at Xie Shuci with admiration.
Xie Shuci did not feel guilty about deceiving the child at all, on the contrary, he was very grateful for his adoring eyes, imitating the appearance of those heroes on TV, stepping on the stool with one leg, proudly took a sip of wine, hiss... so spicy !
Xie Shuci didn't know that the wine on the table was real, his throat was almost pierced by the heat, he didn't show it at all, he wiped his mouth pretending to be calm, raised his chin and said: "Of course it's true, man Never lie to a man."
"Then why were you expelled from the teacher's school?" A Dong asked puzzled.
Xie Shuci bragged about not drafting, and said mysteriously: "A Dong, do you know who is a hero?"
A Dong shook his head in confusion.
Xie Shuci said: "Heroes come and go like the wind without worry. Think about it, a hero lives alone without a fixed place. One day he goes here to fight for justice, and tomorrow he goes there to fight for justice. He will go wherever he is needed."Where to go, this is a hero! So I did it on purpose."
"Wow!" A Dong raised his little hand and shook it twice in the air, "I want to be a hero too! A Dong wants to be a hero too!"
"No." Xie Shuci put on a straight face and said, "Heroes must be as strong and brave as me. A Dong, you are too weak now."
A Dong's expression gradually lost, his eyes filled with tears, he sniffed, and said, "I know, I'm different from brother Xiao Ci, I can't be a monk. But A Dong also wants to be a hero."
"Don't cry, don't cry." Xie Shuci immediately panicked, wiped A Dong's face, snatched the windmill from Xie An's hand, and stuffed it back into A Dong's arms.
Xie An was silent, "..."
"Men are not allowed to cry!" Xie Shuci bent his index finger and knocked on the table with his knuckles.
He spoke righteously, thanks to A Dong who didn't see him crying like a tearful man last night.
A Dong immediately pursed his mouth, holding back his tears.
Xie Shuci finally felt a little bit guilty, and said solemnly: "A Dong, not only monks can be heroes, nor can only heroes be heroes. Do you just want to be heroes, or do you want to be heroes?.”
A Dong frowned and thought for a while, "I want to act like a hero."
"That is to be a hero. You can't become a monk, so you can use other methods to help the people in need. You can work hard to make money, you can become a doctor, you can be a teacher. In short, there are many people who are better than heroes. gone."
A Dong was confused by what he said, and habitually echoed what he said, so he was fooled.
After a while, the shopkeeper came over, and Xie Shuci asked about what happened last night.
The shopkeeper stared at Xie An beside him, although he didn't say anything, but no matter how he looked at it, he seemed a little jealous of Xie An.
Xie Shuci didn't know why, so he also took a look.
Xie An's expression was calm. The small windmill was robbed, so he was playing with a black ceramic cup. His knuckles are distinct, playing with the cheap ceramic cup in his hands, his value has suddenly increased a lot, no matter how you look at it, it looks good.
The shopkeeper didn't know what he was thinking, so he sighed and said, "It's a long story."
"Then make a long story short."
"Last night, Mrs. Zhang next door and her son died."
Xie Shuci shrank his neck, and subconsciously leaned a little in Xie An's direction.
Xie An noticed something and put his hand on his shoulder lightly.
Xie Shuci was scared and curious, just like he felt when watching a horror movie. He covered A Dong's ears with his hands to prevent him from listening, and then asked the shopkeeper, "How did he die?"
"Bite to death by a monster."
Speaking of this, the shopkeeper looked at Xie An anxiously, and said again: "I heard that that monster will kill a person every other day."
Xie Shuci wondered, monsters kill people, why do you keep watching the little blind man?
