Chapter 23 Going Home

Almost in an instant, their slightly closed eyes opened at the same time.

Shen Kuang looked at Su Yao's shiny back in surprise and was in a daze. The feeling just now made him feel a little weird. The heartbeat turned out to be the other person's. He even felt that he could feel the other person's inner feelings, shame, anger and nervousness. Everything was so real, as if he had become Su Yao.

After Su Yao opened her eyes, her face was already so red that she could almost bleed. Her heart was beating fast and her body was tense . The feeling just now was like becoming one with Shen Kuang. Everything about her seemed to be penetrated by Shen Kuang. She also saw through everything about Shen Kuang. They were honest with each other as if they were the most primitive. But the strange thing is that there was no conflict between the two at that time.

At this time, silence was better than sound, so neither of them dared to speak. Even Shen Kuang, apart from stiffly healing Su Yao's injuries, didn't even dare to close his eyes. The feeling just now made people blush, and for a moment he felt that evil thoughts even appeared in his mind.

"The ice has been cold for eternity, everything is still, the heart should be calm, the air should be calm, look at me alone, the mind and spirit are united, the air should follow..."

Shen Kuang recited the Jingxin Jue over and over again in his heart , and his restless heart finally calmed down. The techniques taught by his master had never let him down. This was the first time he used it since he learned the Jingxin Jue , and the first time was under such circumstances.

The two of them still had a tacit understanding and didn't speak. After a while, seeing that the treatment was almost done, Shen Kuang collected his energy, put his hands down from Su Yao's back, helped her put on all her clothes, and then lay down with her in his arms. After that, he quickly got out of the carriage, leaving Su Yao alone who had not yet recovered, staring blankly at the roof of the carriage.

A gauze curtain separated the minds of two people, a boy and a girl, one outside and one inside!

The rosy color on the young man's face gradually dissipated as the night wind blew gently. He leaned on the edge of the car, staring at the bright moon in the sky, lost in thought. Under the same sky, there are many people staring at the bright moon, but their thoughts are different.

······

When the wanderer who left home returned to his hometown again, he couldn't hide the happiness in his heart. This was how Shen Kuang felt at the moment. When the short and dark walls of Plum-Mist City appeared in his field of vision again, he knew he was home.

After seeing each other for many days, even after seeing the bigger, more beautiful and prosperous Qiuluo City , in Shen Kuang's heart, Plum-Mist City will always be ranked first for no reason.

Shen Kuang hummed an unknown tune in his mouth, and a feeling of relaxation arose spontaneously. Facing the breeze in the afternoon, he even imagined the master's expression with golden eyes when he got this pot of Fu Yuchun. Because of this, I laughed for no reason.

Laughter spread into the carriage through the gauze curtain, and a daughter's voice came from the carriage, "Shen Kuang, have you encountered anything interesting?"

"Haha, it's nothing! I just feel good now that I'm home."

The journey was very slow, and the originally estimated five-day journey was stretched to seven days. Shiyudai's medicine works very well, and Su Yao's internal injuries are basically healed. However, if you want to completely recover without leaving the root of the disease, you still need to rest for a long time. As for Su Yao's ability to recover so quickly, she cannot do without Shen Kuang to help her heal her injuries every day.

It will take a long time to recover from the injury on the left shoulder, and it is likely to leave scars. But Su Yao is very open-minded about these. She doesn't care about the impact of scars on her daughter's body . Slowly, she was able to sit up and lie down without relying on Shen Kuang. Except that her left hand was still stiff, she no longer needed Shen Kuang's help for basic daily life.

The relationship between the two did not become awkward because of the charming night. They both chose to forget and not mention what happened that night. Along the way, the two of them shared weal and woe, so their relationship gradually became familiar, and they even occasionally joked with each other.

This is her first time to come to Plum-Mist City . She has learned about this place before. It is a nice small town. I heard that the peach blossoms in Plum-Mist City are the most beautiful in the entire Wei Dynasty .

Since she no longer needed to lie down for the rest of the journey, Su Yao would basically sit in front of the small window in the carriage and look at the scenery along the way. The birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant, and the scenery was pleasant, which made her feel better.

As for Shen Kuang, Su Yao feels that he is a good person after getting in touch with him in the past few days. Along the way, they talked a lot about all over the world, some about martial arts knowledge and some anecdotes. In short, the two of them had a good conversation, so they talked a lot.

Shen Kuang knows a lot of martial arts and knows a lot. Su Yao knew that he was a disciple of the Sword God, and she had already underestimated his talent. But after truly understanding it, she discovered that Shen Kuang's talent was far more terrifying than she imagined.

Their conversations naturally avoided what happened twenty years ago. It seemed that neither of them wanted to mention all the sadness again; it also seemed that everything was understood and there was no need for a second reminder.

From the beginning, they called each other nothing, and now they call each other by name. It neither seems too close nor too strange. As the two of them got familiar with each other, they also found that this kind of title seemed to be the most suitable. of.

In fact, Su Yao could feel Shen Kuang's increasingly happy mood along the way. She knew it was because Plum-Mist City was approaching and that was the direction of his home. Once upon a time, she had felt this way. For her who is used to living a life of ups and downs, as long as she can know the destination of the next journey, her heart will settle down, because it means that they can live a quiet time without fear of being found.

By now, Shen Kuang was laughing more and more often, and Su Yao knew that Plum-Mist City was coming soon. The carriage slowly passed through the city gate and walked along the street in the direction of Red Clay Alley.

From a distance, Shen Kuang saw Butcher Zhu's meat stall in front of Red Clay Alley . When he arrived at the stall, Shen Kuang stopped the car. He was going to buy two kilograms of meat and go back for lunch.

"Xiao Kuang'er , why haven't I seen you in the past half month? I didn't see you practicing swordsmanship under the big peach tree in the morning, but I'm not used to it." Butcher Zhu asked Shen Kuang with a smile while chopping the pork. .

"I went to Qiuluo City these days and just came back today. I wish you all the best, uncle." Shen Kuang also responded with a smile.

There were rare sounds coming from the room behind Uncle Zhu's door. Shen Kuang heard the sound and did not look in that direction. He knew from the voice that it was Zhu Huyue , Uncle Zhu's daughter. He also knew from the name that she was a domineering woman. Uncle Zhu is a bold and unrestrained man. He originally wanted a son but was tricked by God into having a daughter, so he wanted to make a fuss about his name.

Tiger Moon has both the masculinity of a man and the femininity of a daughter. I heard that it was the name given by the master. Zhu Huyue also fits the name. She has a strong back and a strong waist, but her voice is sweeter than that of an ordinary woman.

Shen Kuang has always been afraid of seeing her, not because of her appearance, but because Zhu Huyue likes to fight with him. This was also a bad idea given to her by her master. The master told Zhu Huyue that as long as she defeated Shen Kuang, Shen Kuang would marry her, so from then on Zhu Huyue persistently wanted to compete with Shen Kuang, but every time Shen Kuang found an excuse to put it off. The master is always serious about cheating him.

Therefore, when he heard the noise coming from inside, Shen Kuang immediately gave up his concentration and silently said to God that he would not be seen by Zhu Huyue.

Hearing Shen Kuang's words, Uncle Zhu smiled again and said, "Qiu Luo City, I heard it's far away from us! If you meet any good-looking girls on the road, bring them back for us to see."

Uncle Zhu's character is like this, and he teases Shen Kuang not once or twice. In the past, he often said that he wanted Zhu Huyue to betrothed to him, but of course Shen Kuang politely refused because he was still young!

"Uncle Zhu, I have to do business and don't have time to see girls."

"Haha, don't worry, you will take your time and see. You are still young."

With that said, Uncle Zhu fiddled with his fingers a few times and said with a smile, "Hey, it's not small. Xiao Kuang'er is twenty this year."

Shen Kuang ordered two pounds of fat and lean pork belly, which is most delicious when cooked in braised pork. At this moment, Uncle Zhu had cut it, tied it with hemp rope and handed it to him, "Get it, Xiao Kuang'er ."

"Thank you, Uncle Zhu!"

"Hey, why are you so polite?"

Before Shang finished greeting Uncle Zhu, a woman with a similar size to Uncle Zhu appeared behind him. It was none other than Zhu Huyue.

Zhu Huyue looked at Shen Kuang with a smile and said, "Xiao Kuang'er , I miss you so much." If she closed her eyes, such a voice would be very charming. But Shen Kuang was very familiar with the owner of this voice.

Perhaps only a woman like Zhu Huyue dared to say such bold and simple love words. Uncle Zhu on the side also smiled and did not say anything because of his daughter's lack of reserve.

Su Yao in the carriage saw that Shen Kuang had not come back for a long time after getting off the car to buy things, so she opened the side curtain and looked out the window. The carriage was also close, so Su Yao who looked out immediately attracted the attention of Uncle Zhu and Zhu Huyue.

Shen Kuang naturally noticed the change in their expressions, so he looked back and met Su Yao's eyes. Su Yao said softly, "Are you ready?"

"Well, just get the stuff."

"Girl!" Uncle Zhu exclaimed. Then he looked at Shen Kuang with a smiling expression.

Hearing Uncle Zhu's shout, Su Yao looked at Uncle Zhu at a loss, and then looked at Shen Kuang with a frown.

Shen Kuang also reacted quickly and knew that it was Uncle Zhu who wanted to cross him . Then he saw that the smile on Zhu Huyue's face was gone, followed by questions and vigilance, as if he regarded Su Yao as his opponent.

Shen Kuang waved his hand to Su Yao and said, "It's okay. This is Uncle Zhu and her daughter Zhu Huyue, both of whom live in the alley."

After hearing the introduction, Su Yao greeted the two of them politely. At first glance , it seemed that she and Shen Kuang really meant what Uncle Zhu wanted to do. They were newlyweds or married boys and girls. After saying hello, Su Yao went back and put down the side curtain.

After Zhu Huyue responded to Su Yao reluctantly, she stared at Shen Kuang, as if waiting for him to say something. However, Shen Kuang had been avoiding her gaze, so he didn't notice the change in Zhu Huyue's expression at all.

"Well done, Xiao Kuang'er . The girl is brought back to meet the master. When the time comes to get married, I have to invite uncle to have a drink!" Uncle Zhu laughed loudly. In contrast, Zhu Huyue became gloomy and no longer Mention the fight with Shen Kuang.

Shen Kuang scratched his head and giggled twice, which was considered a response to Uncle Zhu. Although Uncle Zhu misunderstood, it was not without its benefits. Shen Kuang felt that Zhu Huyue might not keep chasing him to compete with him in the future. He glanced at Zhu Huyue and quickly looked away after realizing that the other person was staring at him.

Speaking of the master, Shen Kuang asked, "Uncle Zhu, how is my master doing lately?"

Speaking of Master Shen Kuang, Uncle Zhu thought for a while and said, "When you said that, I remembered it. It seems that I haven't seen your master for some time!"

After Shen Kuang said oh thoughtfully, he said goodbye to Uncle Zhu and Zhu Huyue, and drove the carriage to Red Clay Alley. On the road, I would meet neighbors from time to time, and when they saw Shen Kuang, they would all call him "Xiao Kuang'er " with a smile , and Shen Kuang would all reply politely.

Occasionally, when Su Yao heard the noise, she would slightly open the curtain to take a look. The smiles on the faces of the elders made her feel very warm.
