Time comes and goes, and trivial things happen. Most of what seems to be a complicated story is hidden in time. Naturally, a few words will not delay it for long.
Nearly an hour has passed since Qingjing pretended that he went down the mountain to prepare meals, and he was a little anxious in his heart. Although the black bamboo essence said that the poisonous catkins on Qingxu's body were triggered by him, it should not be a big deal, but because of the seizure of Heizhu, The identity of the person with the Bamboo Essence is still unclear. These poisonous catkins have always been a huge hidden danger!
When he left, there was still some residual light in the sky, but when he returned, it suddenly became pitch black. Qingjing took three steps in succession and then two steps to arrive in front of Qingxu's room, but he felt nervous for a while.
In my own impression, Qingxu always lit candles early before dark to prevent the room from being too dark. Moreover, the candles burned all night long and were not extinguished until dawn the next day, every year, month, and day. Such a day!
But Qingjing didn't see any light coming from Qingxu's house at this time. Coupled with the situation that happened to Qingxu before, she couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart. Could it be that something happened to her elder brother?
Qingjing hurriedly came to the house and banged the door open. After he got used to the darkness, the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded.
"Brother, why are you sitting so far away?"
Naturally, nothing happened to Qingxu, but he was sitting at the far end of the room, with his back almost pressed against the wall. He stared intently at the candlestick next to the wine jar. He didn't come back to his senses until he heard Qingjing speak: "Qingjing, you came back just in time! Hurry! Move this wine jar away for me!"
"What's wrong with this wine jar?" Qingjing was stunned. He picked up the wine jar and looked at it carefully for a while, but didn't find any problems.
"I...I'm allergic to it! As soon as I get close to it, I feel itchy all over and feel uncomfortable!" Qingxu saw Qingjing move it away, and then he walked over to the table and lit the candle on the table. , and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Itchy?" Qingjing's complexion changed, and he looked carefully at Qingxu's body, but found nothing strange. He also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother, this must be a psychological effect on you, maybe... because this wine has some It’s cold, I’ll take it and heat it up right now!”
Qingqing moved very quickly, and without waiting for Qingxu's reply, he brought over a set of equipment for warming wine, complete with large bottles and small jars. And while he was busy working in full swing, several disciples he had ordered before also brought the food over. Qingjing asked them to put down their food and sent them away...
"The temperature has been a bit abnormal these past few days. As soon as the sun sets, my clothes become thin. It seems that I will need to add more clothes tomorrow... By the way, brother, do you often feel itchy all over like you did just now?" He poured the boiling water into the warm wine container and was rinsing the wine pot in it.
"Hmm... I have been watching the Kui Lao Xiang recently and nightly. Logically speaking, when it is first twilight, the handle of the Dio is pointing east, it should be spring all over the world! The climate really shouldn't be so cold!" Qingxu nodded, "As for this whole body It's itchy... To tell you the truth, it's true! But if you think about it carefully, this feeling doesn't last for a day or two, it's just not so obvious at the beginning! I also looked for people to see it, but they couldn't tell me why. Come, it will be over!"
"Oh..." Qingjing nodded. Seeing that Qingxu was acting like this, he probably didn't know that this situation was caused by the poisonous black bamboo catkins. However, my April Bamboo should have restrained the poisonous catkins, and it is completely impossible for his poisonous catkins to relapse!
The reason why Qingxu acted like that just now was probably because what happened in the Black Bamboo Forest made him resist some aspects of Black Bamboo. And according to the words of the black bamboo poisonous catkins, he is the likely cause of the poisonous catkins, and the altar of April Bamboo was wrongly accused...
Thinking of this, Qingjing blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Brother, I heard that there is a kind of strange itching caused by the mixture of fire and cold! Look! The world is not peaceful recently. The monsters have just calmed down and heroes have appeared. The matter of the alliance has naturally made my eldest brother impatient, and he must have accumulated a lot of anger! And the current climate is abnormal, and when your anger touches the cold outside, you will develop this strange itch! "
"What kind of logic is this? Why have I never heard of it?" Although Qingxu felt that it made some sense, he felt very uncomfortable.
"Brother, don't worry about where I heard this! In short... you should know that this bamboo leaf has the effect of relieving coughs and reducing phlegm, clearing the heart and reducing fire. My April Bamboo is a bamboo leaf wine. As long as you drink it, you will definitely get rid of the heart. Fire must also be able to relieve the itching on the body surface." Qingjing quickly interrupted Qingxu's words, took out the wine flask from the hot water and filled the latter's cup.
"Of course I know what you are saying...it's just..." Qingxu looked confused, but didn't know how to explain it.
Qingjing naturally saw Qingxu's taboo, and suddenly had an idea in mind, sighing: "Oh! Brother! Even if you don't believe in my wine-making skills! You have to feel my feelings no matter what! These black bamboos are mine I took great pains to select the cleanest piece in the black bamboo forest and transplanted it. I carefully cared for it day and night and never let them be polluted or harmed in the slightest!"
"Huh? Are you serious?" Qingxu still vividly remembers the experience of that day. Even if he thinks about it accidentally today, he still feels a chill. At this time, listening to Qingjing's words, he feels a little less fond of April Bamboo. conflict.
"Sigh... If the eldest brother really doesn't want to be rewarded, the younger brother has no choice but to drink it alone." After saying that, Qingjing took the wine glass in front of Qingxu.
But before his hand fell, Qingxu pinched his wrist and threw it back: "Humph! Is there any reason to pour wine and then take it back?" Then Qingxu squeezed the wine glass and drank the hot wine. After pouring it down, he let out a comfortable gasp.
"Good wine! Really good wine!" After a glass of Qingxu, he felt that the pores all over his body were opened, and a layer of fine sweat beads appeared on his body, and his limbs were extremely warm. "One more drink! "
"Ah?" Qingjing was stunned for a moment when he saw this, thinking that this April Bamboo had some magical power, and why Qingxu would be so bold every time he drank.
"What? Are you afraid that big brother will make you drunk?" Qingxu joked.
"Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid!" Qingjing said as he stood up to pour the wine, snickering secretly in his heart. These black bamboo leaves were picked up at random by himself. How could they be deliberately cultivated? But now that Qingxu has believed and accepted April Bamboo, he has relieved a lot of his worries.
Although there are some black bamboo impurities in April Bamboo, they become the characteristics of this wine. Not only do these impurities not affect the taste, but they dispel the thick consistency of most ordinary wines. Especially at this time, the candlelight reflected in the wine glass actually produced a blur of light and shadow, turning the impurities floating in the glass into black stars. The two of them were swimming in this world, one glass at a time.
After three rounds of drinking, Qingxu was also a little tipsy. This was the first time in so many years that he felt so relaxed, and he even indulged himself for a rare occasion, leaning his head on the table and dozing off. On the other hand, Qing Jing's eyes suddenly brightened, and he took advantage of Qing Xu's unpreparedness to twist the sleeves of his gown, and the wine dripped all over the floor.
"Qingjing, did you spill the wine?" Qingxu narrowed her eyes and gasped.
"Haha, brother, you heard wrong. It's raining outside."
"Raining? Nonsense, don't think that I'm drunk, brother, I tell you! I'm sober! Later, brother will... draw a paper kite for you!" Qingxu said, leaning on his arms.
"Okay...I like the paper kite painted by my eldest brother best..." Qingjing's eyes sparkled when she heard this. Unexpectedly, Qingxu would still not forget this matter in such a state...
No outsider knew about this, and Qingjing only accidentally learned from Qingxu that the two of them were not biological brothers!
…
At this time, Qingxu had just joined Taiyi Pavilion for only a few years, but he was valued by an elder because of his diligence in cultivation. Seeing that he was depressed while practicing in Taiyi Pavilion, the elder arranged a purchasing job for him so that he could take the opportunity to go down the mountain to relax.
One day on the way back from an outing, Qingxu suddenly saw a paper kite hanging on a tree. He looked back and forth and saw that there was no village in front of or a shop in the back, and he didn't know whose paper kite had floated here.
Qingxu had already walked far away, but he kept thinking about the kite in his heart, so he turned back and prepared to take the kite off the tree. But when he picked it up, he felt that it was heavier than ordinary paper kites. Several times! He looked down and saw a package hanging under the paper kite.
The sudden appearance of the kite on the way was already bizarre, and the package under the kite made Qingxu a little scared. However, he was as courageous as a newborn calf at the time, so he opened the package regardless, only to find that inside the package was a sleeping person. baby.
Qingxu was frightened when he found out it was a baby, but fortunately the baby was still breathing, so he was relieved. But there is no other way now but to bring him and Zhiyuan back to Taiyi Pavilion.
From top to bottom, this Taiyi Pavilion is full of lonely people who cultivate their minds and cultivate their character. Naturally, they can't expect to take care of this baby. However, the baby had been sleeping soundly and he was helpless. He could only temporarily turn back and look for other people with children for help.
Perhaps Qingxu's life should not be cut off. At that time, Qingxu happened to encounter a family giving birth to a baby, and the sitting woman had not gone far. Si Po saw that the baby in Qingxu's arms was not in good condition and quickly opened the package. Then she heard bursts of crying from the baby. It turned out that the baby had been silent because it was held too tightly by Qingxu and was a little suffocated. of dizziness.
She asked Qingxu about the baby's condition, but Qingxu didn't know anything and could only lie that he was the baby's brother and that he came to this place because of something unexpected.
The mother-in-law clicked her tongue when she heard this, and quickly turned around to discuss. Fortunately, the family who had just given birth was kind-hearted and took over the baby, which allowed the baby to overcome the temporary difficulty.
At that time, Qingxu thought that her fate with the baby was cut off, but she didn't expect that not long after the next year, someone came to the door...
