There are many treasures in this country

"I really can't resist."

Xiao Suo's eyes were red, and he reasoned seriously with him: "If I resist, the situation will only get worse, and it's useless at all. Since it's useless, why bother resisting? Instead of seeking humiliation, it's better to accept it."

Shen Yan sighed, and pulled him into his arms: "You're mad at me."

At the end of the day, he still doesn't believe in himself, so he always feels like he's alone.Once he resisted, disasters would happen, and no one would help him bear the consequences.

He didn't think he would stand up for him, nor did he believe that he would give everything for him.He always felt that he was not worthy of being treated well by him, or in other words, he thought that he was not worthy of him.

He is just a man, like a speck of dust in the cloud, a boat in the sea, a seed in the wind.

"Sorry." Xiao Suo acquiesced.He stretched out his hand and spread out his palm: "I'll hit you."

Shen Yan held it and rubbed it, then sighed: "You don't believe me even if I broke my heart, it's really annoying! Why do you always...how do you say that word?"

"Belittle yourself?" Xiao Suo leaned on his shoulder to guess the words.

"Ah, yes!" Shen Yan squeezed his face, "Why do you always belittle yourself? Do you know that you are very good? Do you know how good you are? You can experience it yourself. If you are not afraid of your swelling, I will say No! No, you are underinflated!"

Xiao Suo "cheated" and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm skinny? I need to swell up, like a sheepskin raft."

Shen Yan snorted, and said: "Listen to what you said, there is a problem with your wording, what you think is nothing else, the first thing is to dislike you. I despise you, what do you do? I despise you, and I still talk to you every day Tired of being together, my brain stinks? Can I hide from you far away, or if I drive you far away, can I keep out of sight?"

Xiao Suo flattened his mouth and remained silent.

"Not happy, am I wrong?" Shen Yan poked his head: "What is it in here? I blame the saints, they are the ones who brought you to me badly!"

"That's not true." Xiao Suo murmured: "The proverbs of the sages, it's just that I didn't understand the essence. You blamed me for being unclear, and also said that I belittled myself. You said I was good at one time, and I was not good at another time. You are contradicting me!"

Shen Yan held his face and looked at himself, and suddenly kissed his eyes, "Am I to blame you? I hate iron but not steel, so angry! Let me see you wronging yourself like this next time, I will stop thugs, take off my clothes, and deal with you severely!"

Xiao Suo's face turned red, he bowed his head and said: "Understood, I will change it in the future. You don't want to hit people like this in the future, okay?"

"No." Shen Yan said categorically, "The next time I meet someone who bullies you like this, see if I don't expose him! Don't persuade me, I'm not looking for trouble for nothing, and deliberately bullying others. They asked for it Yes, it deserves it! In the future, one counts as one, and the next one counts as one, and this general will teach them what it means to be a man with your tail between your legs!"

"You are so arrogant." Xiao Suo curled his lips, "Then if you want to beat someone in the future, do it yourself, don't ask me to act with you, I won't show my skills."

Shen Yan couldn't help laughing, and leaned against the wall of the carriage and said, "I told you to perform gong, and you really did! It's just for show, and you just say you did it. Who can see that you have done it?" Didn't send it?"

The naive Xiao Suo lowered his head and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "If you are a charlatan, you will surely be able to prosper."

"Hey!" Shen Yan patted the back of his hand, "I've learned how to swear at people around the corner. I haven't seen you for three days. The old hen has turned into a duck!"

"It's 'Three days after farewell, you will be more impressed', you can read some books." Xiao Suo actually spoke to him in a disgusted tone.

Shen Yan was not angry, hugged him and said: "Oh, this carriage is second-hand, I asked Babao to buy it at a dealership. Your salary can afford the carriage, but it is a little bit reluctant to buy a new one. .So it’s better to keep the old one, so it won’t attract suspicion. From now on, when you go out, let Babao drive this carriage, and go to me and let Eleven drive that green leather carriage. Don’t walk by yourself anymore, your feet are worn out!”

"Okay." Xiao Suo thought about it and asked again: "How much money is this carriage?"

"I won't tell you," Shen Yan giggled, "This is a gift from me."

Xiao Suo got up suddenly, blinked and said, "I have something for you too!"

"Hehe!" Shen Yan immediately sat upright, "He is really a rich man, he can even buy me something! Quickly show me something, what good is it?"

Xiao Suo raised the curtain of the car, saw that the outside was already the territory of Xuanhuafang, he said with joy: "When it arrives later, you wait first, I'll get it for you!"

Shen Yan's heart was extremely full, not only because of his desire to buy something for himself for the first time, but also because he was such a distressed little fool.

Ordinary people give gifts—such as old fritters in a romantic place like him—of course they have to be unexpected and appetizing, and they are suddenly taken out at the most inadvertent and most frustrating moments, allowing the surprise to expand to infinity.

But Xiao Suo obviously gave someone a gift for the first time, so he actually said it beforehand.The embarrassment of waiting in vain, the high expectations, and if the recipient of the gift is slightly unsatisfied, the matter will be frozen.

Xiao Suo didn't notice it at all, he leaned against the corner of the carriage, like a puppy pleasing his master, wagging his tail constantly and smiling like an apple.

The carriage stopped at Xiaolianpeng Lane, and he rushed out like the wind, and almost fell into the wooden wheel when he got off the carriage.Shen Yan couldn't bear to talk about him, so he could only tell with a smile: "Slow down, slow down, don't drop my baby!"

Xiao Suo thought he was talking about gifts, and thought it was very reasonable, so when he came back, he held the bag carefully.He didn't know that the treasure Shen Yan was talking about was himself.

But Shen Yan didn't have time to explain, nor did he want to explain.He knew that if he told Xiao Suo not to fall himself, Xiao Suo would definitely not care, but if he told Xiao Suo not to fall baby, then it would be different.

Sure enough, when he came back, he walked very slowly and steadily, and handed over the burden to him solemnly, just like handing over the ashes of their sons to the families of soldiers who died in battle.

Of course, Shen Yan didn't spoil the scenery by pointing out this section, only to see him hanging his head and wagging his fingers and said: "I picked it myself, I think it's pretty, don't dislike it... I hope you like it."

Shen Yan rubbed his hair, uncovered layers of fur, opened the black pine box, and saw a dagger inlaid with square-eyed sapphire lying inside, sharp and slender, like a trace of autumn water.

Xiao Suo stared at him nervously, pinching the clothes with his fingers and trembling.He had a full view of Shen Yan's expression, but he couldn't tell whether he was happy or disappointed.

"Do you... like it?" He asked boldly.

Shen Yan nodded and said: "I would like it if you gave me a piece of grass, not to mention such an exquisite dagger! But I have a question, this dagger is not extraordinary, where did you get it?"

Xiao Suo didn't know what to say.

This dagger was the one he had been optimistic about before. When Lu Yu gave him the Yue Wang sword, he gave him the dagger.But he didn't want to give Shen Yan what Lu Yu bought, so he didn't give it away before.

A few days ago, the monthly money was distributed in the Hongwen Museum, and he received a full 20 taels of silver.Xiao Suo used the experience he had accumulated when he was working as a counting house, to settle a bill.

He now has 20 taels in his hand and owes Shen Yan 100 taels, and it will take four months to pay it off.But it will only be more than five months before next year's spring.The sum of these silvers is not enough for him to buy this dagger again.

So Xiao Suo made up his mind that he would return 100 taels of the 80 taels of silver to Lu Yu first, and buy the dagger as a gift to Shen Yan.From then on, he saved ten taels from the monthly money every month, and by the time of Chunwei, he would be able to scrape together 100 taels of silver.

In this way, he has enough to spend, after all, he still has twelve taels a month - that's what he needs to eat for a year.Xiao Suo had other things on his mind, so he didn't dare to waste the money. He only bought some things for Shan Gu, Wang Tiezui, and Ouyang Xu, and kept the rest in a small wooden box in the cabinet, for fear that the money would run away by itself. up.

Hearing this, Shen Yan hugged him and kissed him, his expression was extremely moved: "I like it, I really like it! This dagger cuts gold and breaks jade. The shape is clever but not clumsy, and the appearance is simple and elegant, which is very suitable for me."

As he spoke, he lifted up his robe, took out a dagger of the same size from his boot, and handed it to Xiao Suo: "This is what I handed over during the Western Expedition, and it is also a sharp weapon. It has been with me for many years, and has gone through countless battles, big and small. , has saved my life several times, and also drank the blood of enemy soldiers several times. Now I have a new one, so let me give you this one. We exchanged it in this way, and we are not allowed to change it back in the future!"

Xiao Suo took the dagger cautiously, seeing the ruby ​​inlaid on it was as bright as a drop of blood, he couldn't help admiring: "This dagger is more exquisitely crafted than the one I gave you, but the shape is similar and the size is the same."

Shen Yan put his arms around him and said: "Take it quickly, it's easy to put it away, so that no one will see it, so as not to cause trouble! I will have this new dagger in the future, no matter how good the old one is, it has nothing to do with me."

"Then I'll accept it." Xiao Suo nodded and said, "Is this considered an exchange of tokens?"

"Naturally." Shen Yan said as a matter of course, "If you exchange the token, it's considered a deal. If you want to go back on your word in the future, you can eat this dagger!"

Xiao Suo said displeased: "I won't go back on my word, it's possible for you!"

Shen Yan hurriedly pointed to the sky and swore: "If I change my mind, call me—"

He squinted at Xiao Suo who was silently watching from the side: "Why don't you interrupt me, come over and cover my mouth, and say 'I believe it, don't talk nonsense'?"

"Oh." Xiao Suo slowly came up to cover his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense.... Is this okay?"

"I'm leaving!"

"Oh."

"...I'm really leaving!"

"Oh."

He really is gone.
