But just when Lei Jiang's iron palm was about to touch Qingyun's clothes, he suddenly stopped his palm, and the wind from his palm picked up Qingyun's clothes.
"You brat, why don't you hide?"
Lei Jiang stared angrily at the handsome boy who was slightly taller than him, and asked angrily.
Looking back at Qingyun, his eyes were as clear as water, and he showed no fear at all. Although Lei Jiang's finger grip hurt him, he didn't have any panic at all and replied:
"Qingyun's life was originally saved by Sister Meng and Uncle Lei. Based on this alone, it would be no problem for Uncle Lei to break my hands. But I didn't understand before that Sister Meng had to risk her life to save me. Now I know , let alone hide.”
After hesitating for a moment, Qingyun explained:
"Besides, I really didn't mean to be scornful of Sister Meng. Qingyun is really grateful and did this out of forgetfulness. If Uncle Lei blames me, Qingyun has nothing to say. Please punish Uncle Lei."
Qingyun, whose arm was still hurting, looked at Lei Jiang calmly and replied seriously.
"What a good boy, with sharp teeth and a sharp mouth! Don't look at the lady looking at you, I won't! I advise you not to have any evil thoughts in the future, otherwise, hum!"
After hearing what he said, Lei Jiang snorted coldly. Although his face still looked angry, his big hand slowly loosened his hold on Qingyun's arm.
After spending so many days together, he actually knew Qingyun's personality very well, and he also liked Qingyun from the bottom of his heart. It's just that the older the monks are, the more they can understand the difference between immortals and mortals. The one who has the most affection will often suffer for a thousand years.
In his opinion, his young lady rarely has the opportunity to meet the opposite sex. Now that she meets a young man with quite good appearance and character, it is inevitable that she will fall in love with him. However, as time goes by, she will naturally forget about this passer-by in her life.
In fact, he did this just to scare the silly boy Qingyun and stop his evil thoughts. He never really thought about hurting the poor man Qingyun, and it was also protecting the young lady on the other hand.
However, he still slandered Qingyun in his heart, secretly saying:
"This boy's eloquence is as good as Meng Xun's, but it's a pity that he was too short-lived, hey!"
In fact, he was not optimistic that the so-called masters of the Immortal Sword Sect could cure Qingyun's chronic illness. Of course, he did not dare to tell Yao Mengxun this. But when Yao Mengxun saw Lei Jiang finally let go, he breathed a sigh of relief. smiled and said:
"Okay Uncle Lei, how come Xiao Yun'er thinks so little of me? You're so duplicitous. You've obviously brought nourishing medicines to people but you're still here to scare people. I haven't seen you before, why are you so smart and so cruel, Uncle Lei?"
Yao Mengxun turned his head away from Qingyun, inserted his body between the two of them, and gave Lei Jiang an angry look. How could she, who was so thoughtful, not understand the deep meaning of Lei Jiang's words?
However, when Lei Jiang was said like this, she couldn't help but blush, secretly thinking to Uncle Lei, didn't she already care about Qingyun?
Lei Jiang couldn't keep his old face from smiling awkwardly, so he simply glared at Qingyun angrily, turned around and left the room, but as soon as he left, the atmosphere in the room became more subtle.
Qingyun and Yao Mengxun were only one step away from each other, but they both seemed hesitant to speak, and neither of them had the intention to speak first. As the atmosphere became more and more awkward, the slightly mature Yao Mengxun spoke first:
"Xiao Yun'er, are you okay? I was anxious just now. In fact, he is very nice and won't hurt you."
Qingyun thought about it carefully and understood why he had been disliked by Lei Jiang since the first time he met him.
He lowered his head and stared at his pair of cloth shoes that had been mended countless times by his own hands, and then looked at Yao Mengxun's beautiful feet like golden threads. He actually understood why his parents always lived alone in the mountains. The sky and the ground are only accompanied by vegetation and animals.
There is a difference between immortals and mortals, yes, there is always a difference between immortals and mortals. Thinking of this, he quietly took a step back.
They are so close to each other, but separated by two worlds, not to mention the legendary 10,000-meter-high fairy gate. Unless he can cure his chronic illness, he may one day have a chance to leap over the dragon gate.
He smiled at Yao Mengxun, his smile was extremely restrained and bitter, and he said:
"It's okay, Sister Meng. I'm really grateful to you and Uncle Lei for taking care of me during this period. Qingyun just lost his temper and will never do such outrageous things again in the future. Qingyun is just a mortal. I hope he can be better soon." When you arrive at the Xianjian Sect to meet my uncle, you can’t delay your return home.”
Hearing Qingyun's answer, Yao Mengxun felt a sudden pain in his heart, as if something was missing, and his bright eyes as bright as a river were filled with loss.
She did not continue to speak, but looked at Qingyun quietly and tenderly, as if waiting for something. Under her gentle gaze, Qingyun felt a little upset for no reason. In the end, he was so overwhelmed that he could only glance his head to the side.
They looked at each other without words, only two lines of clear tears.
Of course, Qingyun didn't see it. He lowered his head and only saw the goose-yellow skirt of Yao Mengxun turning around sadly.
It wasn't until she left silently that Qingyun sat down heavily on the bed and breathed a long sigh of relief. He raised his head and looked at the color of the sunset entering the house at the door, which was very similar to Yao Mengxunchaoyue's figure.
Accompanied by the setting sun, the sighs in Lei Jiang's house echoed alone.
Early the next morning, before the red sun rose, Qingyun quietly left the inn.
He found a sparsely populated place in the city, took out the Qilin fang and pointed it at the rising sun, and began to absorb the purest energy of the day.
It seemed that it only took more than a hundred breaths for Qingyun to feel that the comfort brought to him by Qilin Ya was no longer increasing. At this time, he should have reached a state of energy saturation.
Thanks to the resin that Yi Qing sacrificed his life for, otherwise the fluctuation of spiritual power emitted by the Qilin teeth alone would have attracted many covetous hearts, although Qingyun does not know this now.
After the treatment, the morning market in the city had just begun. Qingyun used the few pieces of money he had with him to buy a lot of small gadgets for Yao Meng, such as some simple toys and snacks. , candied fruit, etc.
Then, he inquired about several unique herbal tea shops in the city, bought some for Yao Mengxun and Lei Jiang, and hurriedly brought them back to Xuanji Pavilion while it was hot.
When he entered, the waiter kept nodding and bowing to him to say hello, and he kept smiling in response. By the time he came back, it was almost half past midnight, which was a good time to have breakfast.
At this time, Lei Jiang was practicing his fists and feet in the yard to activate his muscles and bones, while Yao Mengxun seemed to have not gotten up yet, and the doors and windows were closed.
"Good morning, Uncle Lei. I just went out to walk around the city and bought some special breakfast here. It's still hot. If you and Sister Meng haven't used breakfast, please eat it while it's hot."
"Well, leave it alone."
Lei Jiang still had that cold look on his face, he responded without looking away and continued to practice boxing.
Qingyun smiled faintly and didn't care. After all, Lei Jiang's cold-faced and warm-hearted character was already well known to him from the tonics he brought yesterday.
He wanted to personally give the gadgets he bought in the city to Yao Mengxun, but after thinking about it, he sighed in his heart and said to Lei Jiang instead:
"Uncle Lei, I heard Sister Meng say when I was on the road that she wanted to buy some gadgets and snacks from the market to give away, but she didn't have the money. Qingyun just went to the morning market to take a look, and there were a lot of new things. , I simply bought some back."
After a slight hesitation, Qingyun still said somewhat against his will:
"I see that Sister Meng hasn't gotten up yet. Could you please Uncle Lei to pass this on to her? I'll help you."
After saying that, he put the large and small bags in his hands together with the breakfast and prepared to leave as soon as he put them on the stone table.
But before he could put his things down, he heard a pleasant cough and then heard another squeak, and the incomparably beautiful Yao Mengxun arrived.
It seems that she never wears makeup, and is still as elegant as before. However, as summer is gradually approaching, she is dressed in a light veil, showing infinite laziness in such a graceful morning, which makes people intoxicated.
"Who said I'm still sleeping? I'm not a lazy pig. Xiaoyun'er, since you want to give me something, why don't you give it to me yourself?"
Yao Mengxun asked with his eyebrows slightly raised, his voice was touching but filled with accusations and reproaches, which made Qingyun feel even more guilty.
He didn't see Yao Mengxun's tears yesterday, but he understood that his desire to draw a clear line with her might have hurt an innocent heart.
The peace during this period did not make him forget his life experience, his blood feud, and more importantly, he could not stay with her forever.
When you are about to die, or turn into a handful of loess, is it possible to leave a beautiful woman alone in the world, a lonely pillow for thousands of years? So Qingyun told himself that he must be ruthless.
To others, more often than not, to yourself.
But Qingyun is still Qingyun after all. He really couldn't bear Yao Mengxun's sadness, so he went to the morning market and bought a lot of small gifts to give to her.
Of course, it also cost him a lot of money that he had saved for a long time.
"Good morning, Sister Meng. Qingyun is afraid that you haven't gotten up yet and it's inconvenient to enter your room, so I asked Uncle Lei to do it for me."
He didn't dare to look at Yao Mengxun, and said with evasive eyes, but Yao Mengxun didn't seem to care, and began to accuse Yao Mengxun:
"Do you know now that I'm up?"
"I know, Sister Meng."
Hearing the sudden increase in Yao Mengxun's tone, Qingyun suddenly felt that something was not good, and she was slowly walking towards him, but he was leaning against the stone table, unable to retreat, and was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. coming.
When Yao Mengxun was less than one punch away from Qingyun, she asked again:
"Am I close enough to you now? Can you hand over the things you bought to me? Xiao~yun~er~"
Yao Mengxun said the last three words "Xiaoyun'er" with gnashing of teeth.
Although Qingyun is not tall, he is tall and straight, but his thin body makes him look not strong enough.
At this time, he lowered his head and breathed in the orchid fragrance of Yao Mengxun's breath, almost in a state of ecstasy and at a loss. With his beating heart as if it was about to burst out of his chest, he stammered:
"I...I...I..."
Seeing Qingyun hesitating, Yao Mengxun felt so happy that he finally smiled like an iceberg melting.
Although she particularly liked teasing Qingyun, she did not continue to embarrass him. Instead, she walked around his body, gently picked up the gifts and breakfast on the table, and returned to her room with a smile.
Before closing the door, she looked down casually and showed a shy smile, just like Tingting Chuntao.
