章節 184: Chapter 182 Quarrel

He stepped out and Xie Xiaogong hurriedly chased him out.

　　"Oh, look at your young age, don't always say depressing words. Old man, I still have some abilities."

　　"Even if the poison can't be cured, it can at least keep him alive for a few more years."

　　Ye Annian felt a little relieved. If there was really no solution, even a few years would be fine.

　　"Well," he responded softly, "Thank you."

　　"Thank you for nothing, he is my disciple." Xie Xiaogong patted his chest, "I hope that he can live more than anyone else, and I hope that you two can be well."

　　Ye Annian said nothing more, said goodbye to Xie Xiaogong and returned to his house.

　　The old man looked at the person's leaving figure and let out a long sigh.

　　It is said that it will last until the end of the year, but if the poison breaks out again during this period, it will be really difficult for the gods to save it.

　　At this moment, he was not in the mood to tend to the medicine garden anymore. Xie Xiaogong turned around and went back to the house. He rolled up his left sleeve to check the spread of poison on his body.

　　He used his internal power to seal the poison on his left arm, but in just two months, the poison had eroded his entire arm and was spreading to his body.

From his left wrist to his upper arm, his body has turned black and looks very scary.

　　"There's still one month." He muttered, "I hope it will succeed."

　　…

　　Jiang Zhu was very annoyed by the affairs in the studio. He had been busy for a long time, and it was already past noon.

　　Then he stopped by the big kitchen and cooked a winter melon and pork ribs soup for Ye Anyian.

　　The hall on the first floor was quiet, and he carried the food box all the way up to the second floor.

　　Entering the bedroom, Ye Annian was indeed there, sitting at the table and flipping through a book.

　　Hearing the footsteps, he didn't even look up.

　　Jiang Zhu felt something was wrong with him inexplicably, so he put down his food box and walked over.

　　"Nian Nian, are you hungry? I made delicious food for you."

　　Ye Anyian didn't answer, but stopped turning the book in his hand.

　　In fact, he didn't read what was written in the book at all. He just did something casually to distract himself and not always think about that matter.

　　But now Jiang Zhu is back.

　　He closed the book and stood up from the chair.

　　Jiang Zhu panicked for no reason: "What's wrong with you?"

　　"Didn't you tell me everything?" Ye Anyian suddenly asked.

　　"Yeah." Jiang Zhu nodded, he had said that.

　　Seeing Ye Annian's appearance, he thought he heard something from other people in the house.

　　Then he said: "You can ask whatever you want, and I will tell you."

　　"Then, where's the poison?"

　　Ye Annian looked at him and spoke loudly every word.

　　Jiang Zhu was stunned suddenly and came back to his senses after a moment.

　　But Ye Anyian had already seen his reaction.

　　"You didn't expect me to know, did you?"

　　"I saw it from the scrap of paper in your book."

　　Jiang Zhu pursed his lips and said nothing.

　　"So, does everyone know about it and you just hid it from me?"

　　"If I hadn't discovered it myself, how long would you have planned to keep it secret from me?"

　　"Every year..."

　　Ye Anyian only felt a tightness in his chest, and blood surged in his chest. He did not make a fuss, and his voice was calm and no different from usual.

　　"Is there anything else? Something I don't know about."

　　"No more." Jiang Zhu replied quickly. He wanted to pull Ye Anian's hand, but the other party calmly dodged it.

　　"I'm tired and want to sleep for a while."

　　"Okay." Jiang Zhu followed him to the bed and helped him put down the bed curtain.

　　No matter what he did, Ye Annian kicked off his shoes and lay down, facing inwards, leaving only his back.

Jiang Zhuchu stood beside the bed, neither standing nor sitting.

　　The two have been together for so long, and this seems to be the first time they have had a fight.

　　It could be said that it was a quarrel, but there was no big fuss, not even a harsh word.

　　But the more this happens, the more torture it becomes.

　　Ye Annian closed his eyes, but he didn't feel sleepy at all.

　　He just didn't know how to face this for a while.

　　If he had known this early on, he could have spent this time with Jiang Zhu more cherished and done more meaningful things together instead of focusing on opening a shop and doing business.

　　But he didn't know until now that they ran out of time.

　　On Wei Zhihuai's side, we still don't know what will happen.

　　Annoyed, so annoyed.

　　"Tomorrow, I will go back with Zhang Lu and the others."

　　I don't know how long it took, Ye Anyian said suddenly.

　　No one answered, and the only sound in the room was his own breathing.

　　Ye Anyian waited for a while, but still didn't hear any movement.

　　He bit his lip and turned over to sit up. Jiang Zhu stood by the bed and looked at him quietly.

　　"you..."

　　"Let's talk."

　　"good."

　　It was midday break at this moment, and even though he was far away, Ye Anyian could still faintly hear the laughter of the Baihezhai disciples in front of him.

　　Jiang Zhu took him to the tea room on the first floor.

　　It's very quiet here. The bamboo curtains are rolled up. Through the window, you can see the corner of the yard, where green nandina bamboos are luxuriant and lush.

　　"Say it," he said.

　　Jiang Zhu did not speak immediately, but stood up and made a pot of tea, pouring a cup for Ye Anian and himself.

　　The unfolded tea leaves swirled in the cup, and the clear tea reflected the shadows of the two of them.

　　"I...don't know what to tell you."

　　He paused and asked, "If it were you, would you tell me from the beginning?"

　　Ye Anian was stunned for a moment by his question.

　　It took a long time before he answered: "Yes."

　　Jiang Zhu looked at him in surprise.

　　"If it were me, I would tell you." Ye Anyian looked back calmly, "This way, we will have enough time to spend the rest of the day well."

　　"We can go out for a walk together, go where you want to go, do what you want to do, even if it's just to stay together."

　　Ye Anyian's expression was very serious. Jiang Zhu looked at him and didn't know how to react.

　　He thought Ye Anyian would blame him and get angry.

　　But in the end, Ye Anyian just calmly said that he wanted to spend the rest of the days with him.

　　"I'm sorry," he said.

Ye Anian suddenly stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the nandina in the yard without saying a word, but his shoulders couldn't stop shaking.

　　Jiang Zhu's heart tightened, he stood up and walked over, only to see Ye Anyian's face was frighteningly pale.

　　He was startled and stretched out his hand to pull the person over: "What's wrong with you?"

　　Ye Anyian didn't answer. He opened his mouth slightly and breathed a little quickly. He covered his chest with his hands and tightly grasped the skirt of his clothes. His joints were white and his palms were cold.

　　Jiang Zhu grabbed his wrist and felt for his pulse. His pulse was beating very fast and there were signs of heart palpitations.

　　"Nian Nian," he held her in his arms and patted her back gently, "Don't be like this, breathe slowly..."

"You..." Ye Anyian bit his lip, "You are not allowed to... die."

　　"Okay, I won't die."

　　"Stop talking and calm down first, okay?"

　　But the person in his arms was shaking even more violently, and his breathing became more rapid. Because he couldn't breathe, the feeling of suffocation forced Ye Anyian's eyes to become covered with a layer of water mist, which turned a thin red.

　　Jiang Zhu frowned, suddenly grabbed his chin and kissed him.

　　He kissed Ye Anian very softly and calmed her down regularly.

　　After a long time, Ye Anyian gradually calmed down.

　　When he came back to his senses, he found that Jiang Zhu had placed him on the tea table and sat on him.

　　"Is it better?" Jiang Zhu leaned over and helped him tuck the loose hair behind his ears.

　　Ye Anqing breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay."

　　"Then go out and get some fresh air?"

　　Ye Anyian nodded.

　　Jiang Zhu reached out and pulled him up.

　　"You don't have to worry about my poison. Since the old man asked me to come back, it means he is still somewhat sure."

　　"Yeah." Ye Anyian's voice was still a little hoarse.

　　"If it doesn't work, I'll drain all the old guy's internal energy away," Jiang Zhu blinked, "His internal energy is very deep, and if you put it all together, it will be enough for me to last for decades."

　　"When the time comes, we will bury him better and visit him every year. This will be considered as our filial piety."

　　Hearing him start talking nonsense again, Ye Anyian was still amused.

　　Forget it, there's no point in escaping, you still have to live day by day.

　　After an unpleasant incident, you always need to change your mood.

　　With Ziyu following, the two went down the mountain to Baiyun Town.

　　The town is not big, but it is actually more lively than Tianshui Town. There are dough makers, sugar painting sellers, jugglers, storytellers and music.

　　The three of them wandered around casually, stopping to join in the fun when they met someone they were interested in. Time flew by very quickly.

　　By the end of the night, when they were lighting the lamp, the two of them had already packed large and small bags with things for the two children at home, as well as Yu Hu and Wen Heng.

　　Seeing that it was getting late, Ziyu suggested going back early.

　　Jiang Zhu refused and gave her everything in his hands and Ye Anyian's hands.

　　"It's been a long time coming down the mountain. It would be a pity to go back like this. If you are in a hurry, just take your things and leave first, and I will take Nian Nian to eat."

　　Ziyu:...

　　Knowing that she couldn't go back alone.

　　In the end, the three of them went to the small noodle shop Jiang Zhu mentioned.

　　It's not far from Baiyun Mountain, just in a quiet alley.

　　The noodle shop is not a big place, and when the three of them entered, it was already full of people.

　　The waiter walked around the noodle shop until he found an empty seat by the window and took the three of them there.

　　"The noodles here are excellent, better than anything I make." Jiang Zhu looked at Ye Anyian with a smile.

　　Ye Annian gave him a lukewarm look.

　　Jiang Zhu smiled "hehe" and felt comfortable.

　　"What do you three guests want to eat?" the waiter asked, while he listed all the signature noodles in the store.

Ye Anyian chose noodles with shredded pork and sauerkraut, Jiang Zhu ordered noodles with soybean paste, but Ziyu only ordered a bowl of plain noodles.

　　It took some time to prepare the noodles, so Jiang Zhu was bored and dug out the book Ye Anian bought for Fu Zai and Ding Qiu to read.

　　But Ye Annian said: "Why do the people at that table always look at us?"

　　His words drew the attention of Jiang Zhu and Ziyu, and they glanced in the direction indicated by Ye Anian.

　　Sure enough, I saw three middle-aged men sitting at the table diagonally opposite. They had been looking over here. When they were discovered, they stopped moving and gathered together to whisper something.

　　Ziyu frowned and suddenly stood up: "I'll go take a look."

　　"Don't..." Ye Anian didn't expect her to be so direct, and was a little worried that Ziyu would conflict with them.

　　But Ziyu had already walked over and started chatting with the three people.

　　"It's okay, she's measured." Jiang Zhu patted Ye Anyian's arm to comfort him.

　　Not long after, Ziyu came back, but the three people at the table also got up and left the noodle shop.

　　"What's going on?" Jiang Zhu asked.

　　Ziyu glanced at Ye Anyian, who was sitting next to Jiang Zhu, and felt a little hesitant.

　　"Tell me." Jiang Zhu said.

　　Ziyu then spoke: "Recently, the city seems to be full of posters offering rewards for you. Those three people just looked at you more because they saw that you look similar to the portrait on the document."

　　"Reward order," Ye Anian frowned upon hearing this, "You didn't do anything."

　　"It happened in Yueliang City before." Ziyu explained, "After the Zhai Master left, there was silence for many years, but the court kept insisting on it. Now that the Zhai Master is back, the prince and his party may be a little unable to hold back. "

　　Ye Annian glanced at Jiang Zhu worriedly.

　　The latter used the cup lid to stir the tea leaves in the bowl and asked Ziyu, "How much is the reward?"

　　"The reward is five hundred taels of silver."

　　"Tsk," Jiang Zhu frowned upon hearing this, "Is this what I'm worth?"

　　Ye Anyian:...
