more than a month

"I can't beat... I should have known. Yueyuan told me to run back, but I refused to go." Gu En suddenly realized that his memory was already blurred. He tried hard to recall, but all he could remember was the last moment of his master Jumping on Yue Yuan's body, he gradually lost his breath.

He couldn't even remember how his master came, how many people came, and whether he won or not in the end.

"Yue Yuan pushed me away, he was trapped and couldn't get out, but I didn't dare to go in to rescue him, the horse was over there, I didn't dare to rescue him, and I didn't dare to go, the whole person stood in the distance, even at that time Yue Yuan is dead, and I don't know what to do."

"Later, both my master and his senior brother came. His senior brother saw me and dragged me onto the horse. But my master didn't even look at me, and rushed directly to Yue Yuan, who was surrounded by horse bandits... It's okay. He went to rescue Yue Yuan at that time..."

It's just that he didn't come back.

The horse's leg was cut, and he fell off the horse's back, but subconsciously rolled over and covered Yue Yuan under him.The long knife pierced him directly, and the lower part of the chest, even Yue Yuan below could feel the sharp blade pierced from his chest against his shoulder.

Gu En's eyes were blocked by Senior Brother Yue Yuan, and the moment the long knife went down, he only heard the sound of the sharp blade piercing his body.In an instant, everything that had been supporting him collapsed like a landslide.Fear enveloped him for an instant, and he didn't know that Yue Yuan's senior brother had already dismounted from the horse.

"Run back." That sentence pulled him back, but he just stared at the figure of his master lying on the ground.But Yueyuan's senior brother had already passed by, with the short stick lying in front of him, turning his head to let him run quickly.Except for his master, Yue Yuan is still on the ground, still protected underground by his master.

Gu En ran away, and behind him was the sound of a short stick meeting a long knife.He didn't dare to turn his head back, and didn't even dare to think about anything. There were Tiance disciples chasing him along the road. Someone wanted to grab him and ask him where the others were. But I don't know where to go back.

"I was outside Tiance Mansion, waiting until Yue Yuan and the others came back. Even so, I still dare not enter. I can still remember the look in which Yue Yuan's senior brother looked at me. He hated but couldn't hate, but he wanted to beat me up." The look of death. He walked towards me, and I stood there, afraid that I didn’t know where else to go, so I simply let him catch me and beat me to death. But he didn’t pay me much attention at all. , came over to pick me up, put me on the horse and held me in front of him, and went back together. At that time, I still felt very warm, but when I turned my head and looked at Yueyuan, there was an obvious slap mark on my face. I know that no one should think about it today."

"I asked him in a low voice where my master was, and he rubbed my head, but he still told me that my master was gone, and asked me if I was afraid."

"I didn't dare to tell him that I was afraid. But he saw that I didn't speak, and didn't ask me anything else. He sent me back to the house and let me have a good rest, without even a word of reproach."

"I haven't seen Yue Yuan since then. I didn't see him until my master was buried. It's true that I haven't talked to Yue Yuan for a long time, and I haven't seen each other. Later I heard that he wanted to I went back to the Beggar Gang, but his senior brother didn’t leave, and stayed here for about two years. Even if the other disciples of the Beggar Gang left, he still stayed for a while. He has always treated me very well, but he knew each other very well. I don’t even mention my master. Sometimes it’s like… there’s never been such a person.”

"Even if I go to see him in front of the tomb during the holidays, I won't go with him. Sometimes I see him sitting in front of the tomb for a whole day, so I can only put the drinks and paper money outside. When he sees him, he will help me again. Take it. It’s just that after that, I didn’t even hear from him.”

Ye Yu and Siyao exchanged glances after hearing him finish the story, and for a moment didn't know what to say to Gu En to comfort him.

On the contrary, Gu En waved his hand indifferently, indicating that they were fine. "This happened twelve or thirteen years ago, but I don't remember it so clearly anymore, it's okay."

But that being said, only he himself knows whether it has really passed.

Seeing this, Ye Yu didn't sit down any longer, so he took his leave and went back.

"It's time to eat, don't wait until it's cold." Gu En waited for Ye Yu to leave, and pushed the plate towards Siyao, with a gentle expression on his face, and told Siyao not to worry with a smile.The story has been told for so long, and it's strange to be hungry when I come to my senses, but Siyao is still lonely and doesn't talk to him.

"You eat too..." Si Yao was still a little uncomfortable, lowered his head and kept picking dumplings into his bowl, but Gu En didn't refuse, he ate as much as he picked.Many people didn't make a sound, and the atmosphere was a bit weird.

Ye Yu returned to the house, huddled lazily under the quilt, still holding the wine gourd in his arms, and immediately became happy when he saw him come in.Wrapped in the quilt, she rubbed against him.

"Go to Gu En's place."

"You guessed it again?" Ye Yue went over and snatched the wine gourd from his hand. "Still drinking."

Yue Yuan couldn't reach it twice, so he shrank back. "You have been there for so long, let me tell you what you want to hear, and ask him what he is going to do."

"Are you awake now?" Ye Yu put the wine gourd and his Hell-burning Evil Dragon together, turned around, took off his coat and prepared to go to bed.

"I didn't drink too much hiccups, um...maybe a little." Yue Yuan shook off the quilt, hugged him and rolled into the bed, but stopped suddenly. "Will it choke you? It seems that I drank a little too much."

Yue Yuan knew that he didn't like drinking too much, but Ye Yu obviously didn't take it too seriously.

"When you came out of the mansion, where did you go?"

"Ah... let's go back to the Beggars' Gang." Seeing that he didn't dislike him, Yue Yuan let himself hold Ye Yuquan in his arms, rubbing his head against his chest twice.

The smell of alcohol is really strong, Ye Yu is really used to it, and after a long time, he can't feel anything.

"Gu En didn't tell you. On the day his master had an accident, my senior brother almost killed me. That's the kind... I really didn't plan to let me live. If my senior sister was not there at the time, I probably don't have anything to do now .”

"how…"

Gu En didn't know what happened afterwards, even now Yue Yuan has never told him in detail.

His senior brother dragged him to Qingzhao Ranch and almost drowned him there.

There were icicles in the cold winter water, he didn't care about it at that time, he dragged Yueyuan over, pressed his neck and really pushed him into the river.It was the first time Yue Yuan saw his senior brother's eyes were red, and he was a little dazed by the slap outside before, but now he didn't know how to resist.He also thought about dying, and he would just make up for Gu En and his master, so he really let him throw himself into the river.

It's really cold.

The water choked into his lungs, and he began to struggle unconsciously, but his senior brother seemed to really want him to die, submerging his whole body in the water, no matter how much Yue Yuan struggled in the water, it was futile.For a moment, Yue Yuan gave up on himself. He clearly wanted to die together, but he still tried to survive out of instinct.In front of him are all the scenes that he had with Master Gu En, which really reminded him that that person really died to save him.

The Tiance disciples around didn't know what happened, they were frightened when they heard the sound, they hurriedly pushed away his senior brother, and fished Yue Yuan out.Yue Yuan had lost consciousness, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he hurriedly patted his back and tried to pat the water out.Yue Yuan spat out water, and seemed to have recovered a bit, but he didn't know where he was in a daze.

But soon, his senior brother reminded him where he was.

Seeing that he was not dead, his senior brother pushed the others away, picked him up and put him on the ground, and greeted him directly with the short stick.The pain brought back Yue Yuan's consciousness, and all the sticks without any rules fell on him, Yue Yuan shrank back in pain, just because of the pain, he also knew that his senior brother had no strength, if this continues, the stick will probably die. broken.As long as he didn't hit himself on the head, he probably wouldn't die.It's just that the pain is worse than drowning him just now.

If he dared to hide, his senior brother chased him and continued to fight.Someone came to pull, and his senior brother beat others together.

Yue Yuan clasped the hard and cold ground, his finger bones turned white, but his whole body felt extremely hot.I can't tell where it hurts, but I feel it hurts everywhere.

He started to be dazed again, but he felt lucky, probably his senior brother wouldn't beat him after he passed out.At that moment, he felt that his senior brother was really a fool, otherwise he wouldn't regret it now and beat him to death here.

Yue Yuan's last consciousness was being hugged by someone, of course it couldn't be his senior brother.At that time, he didn't have a trace of clarity at all, and the dull-eyed Mingming was right in front of his eyes but he couldn't see clearly.He only heard someone whisper in his ear, it's all right, he won't hit you anymore.

Perhaps some senior sister came and hugged him who was soaking wet, crying in her voice, scolding his senior brother if he beat him like this, he would die, and said that even if he was beaten to death, Gu En and his master would not be able to come back.He finally couldn't hear the whistling sound of the stick, the warmth in his arms reassured Yue Yuan, and soon he lost even the last trace of consciousness.

He didn't know when he woke up, but he felt a little guilty when he found that he was still alive.Two ribs were broken, but fortunately no internal organs were injured, only breathing hurts, and there were bruises and open wounds all over his body, which were considered minor injuries.

The few days in bed made him miss the day when Gu En's master was buried, and no one came to tell him, even he never saw his senior brother again.When there was another news, it was his senior brother who came and told him to go back to the Beggars' Sect.

He didn't know at that time, it was the senior sister who rescued him, and a letter was reported to their master, who was in a hurry, no matter what happened, he couldn't let him beat the child to death, so he hurriedly gave way to Yue Yuan first. I went back to raise it, whose fault I will discuss later, but you can't beat your own disciple to death in someone else's house.

The letter originally asked both of them to go back, but his senior brother didn't go back, and only asked that senior sister to send Yue Yuan back.Before Yue Yuan's injury healed, he went back in the carriage neatly. On the way, his senior sister coaxed him all the time, never mentioning anything about Tiance Mansion.

Yue Yuan knew what she was thinking, and pretended to be happy, not wanting to worry others.It's just that he was only worried about two things at that time, he forgot to apologize seriously to his senior brother, and forgot to say goodbye to Gu En.

Ye Yu was startled when he heard this, and his image of him as a senior changed sharply.

"Do you also think that my senior brother has gone too far, how could he really beat people to death?"

"You didn't blame him?"

Gu En smiled stupidly, "Gu En didn't tell you either, my senior brother likes his master for a long time, otherwise his temperament is actually more suitable for the knight-errant. That fool Gu En can't tell, I Senior brother actually always asks me to get Gu En aside, so that he can spend more time with his master."

"I killed his sweetheart...Let him take a beating."

Now Yue Yuan really doesn't care about this matter, but at that time he didn't slow down for more than a year.On the day he returned to the Beggars' Clan, he saw the reeds on Junshan Mountain and the sparkling water, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't stand up, and he thought in his heart not to drown him.His senior sister reacted, directly blocked his eyes, hugged him and comforted him in a low voice, and his master was next to him, seeing his eldest apprentice in such a state, he was so angry that he almost went out to take revenge by himself, but when he thought about it, he still walked over and hugged him Qi Yueyuan went back to the house first.

"It's not entirely your fault, after all, Gu En came up with the idea."

"You have met my apprentice, that bastard, if one day something happens to me because of him, what will you do to him?" Yue Yuan didn't wait for his answer, and continued on his own, "My senior brother That's right, Gu En is the person his master misses the most. As far as Gu En is concerned, his master was killed by him, and he himself is enough to blame himself. It is impossible for my senior brother to vent his emotions on him. But he urgently needs An emotional outlet, I am naturally the best choice."

"In the end, I deserve it. After he beats me, he and I can feel better. It's over in the past. The news I was most afraid of hearing later was that something happened to Gu En, and I owe him Yes, fortunately, that guy has been living smoothly and well."

His master died to save himself, and Yue Yuan felt sorry for Gu En for granted.Of course, Yue Yuan didn't blame himself for this at all, it was Gu En's blind idea.Nothing happened that day.

But things are impermanent, probably so.
