Chapter 31
Jiang Yu stood not far away, watching Song Heqing quietly.

Until Song Heqing stepped out of the shadows, his face was completely exposed under the moon.

His face was pale, his eyebrows were depressed, and his long eyelashes obscured his emotions, but the drooping corners of his eyes also revealed grievances, adding a bit of pity.

"Master, are you listening to me?"

Seeing that Song Heqing was still as pitiful as when he was a child, Jiang Yu felt a familiar feeling.

"Listen, I understand, please go back with me first."

Jiang Yu turned around and left, Song Heqing followed her, looking back from time to time to glance at the end of the bamboo forest.

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Yu stopped.

Song Heqing turned around and was caught off guard and bumped into Jiang Yu. Jiang Yu stumbled unprepared.

"Master, are you alright?"

"It's okay." Jiang Yu touched the bridge of his nose where his chin had hit him. He felt a dull pain that lingered for a long time. It hurt, but he couldn't say it.

A certain Yu felt bitter in his heart.

The pain on the bridge of his nose subsided. Jiang Yu put down the hand that was blocking the bridge of his nose and looked up at his little apprentice.

Sure enough, the little apprentice looked like a little bitter gourd, his face drooped, "Master, I'm sorry."

"I don't blame you." Jiang Yu reached out and wanted to touch his little apprentice's head like before, but found that the little apprentice was much taller than him, and he had to stand on tiptoes slightly to smooth his head.

The corners of Song Heqing's mouth rose slightly. The master was indeed as tolerant of him as before, but when he raised his eyes and focused on Jiang Yu's face, his expression suddenly changed.

"Master, you?"

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu looked at Song Heqing who was hesitant to speak in confusion. The expression on his face was a bit strange, as were his eyes.

"Master, does the bridge of your nose hurt?" Song Heqing asked self-reproaching.

Jiang Yu endured the burning pain and opened his eyes to lie: "It doesn't hurt. How could it hurt, Master? Let's go back quickly."

Before taking a step, Jiang Yu felt the warmth on her wrist. She looked down at the little apprentice who was holding her wrist tightly, and looked at him puzzled, "What else..."

On the crook of the nose between the eyes, he gently stroked his slightly cold knuckles, and heard a deep voice in his ear: "Master, your place is red, it must be very painful."

In a daze, Jiang Yu seemed to have returned to the past.

"Jiang Yu, you are injured, don't you feel pain?"

"Jiang Yu, your leg is broken, it must be very painful."

"Jiang Yu..."

"..."

Song Heqing stared at Jiang Yu's slightly trembling eyelashes, gentle gray-brown pupils, and fair cheeks, and a thin blush slowly appeared on his face.

Immediately, as if thinking of something, he hurriedly took off the backpack on his back, and said as if talking to himself, "Master, I have medicine here. I can apply some ointment to you and it won't hurt. Where can I find it?" .”

"Found Master!"

Song Heqing raised his head, and Jiang Yu had already walked a long way away. He lowered his head and looked at the medicine bottle lying in his hand, and slowly tightened his grip.

Strange sounds seemed to be echoing behind him.

Song Heqing glanced back, then quickly put away the medicine bottle, tucked it into his sleeves and ran after Jiang Yu.

"Master, wait for me."

Jiang Yu shook her head as she listened to Song Heqing's voice. When she turned around, she realized that she had unknowingly left Song Heqing behind.

"Master, your nose is red. Can you wipe this?"

Jiang Yu looked at the porcelain bottle in Song Heqing's hand, smiled, pointed at his reddish chin and said, "Please wipe your chin first, I don't need it."

It's not a fatal injury, so there's no need to make a fuss.

Song Heqing touched his chin, and there was indeed a slight pain in his chin. It must have been from knocking it just now.

Jiang Yu turned and left, followed by Song Heqing, and their figures disappeared into the bamboo forest.

"Master, where are we going?" Song Heqing asked quietly.

"Let's go to Liu Ji's inn and send him back as soon as possible."

Song Heqing ran in front of Jiang Yu and blocked her way, "Master, Liu Ji said he was going back because he was afraid of disturbing his family."

"Then has he ever thought about the thoughts of his wife?"

Song Heqing was slightly startled, "What?"

"He said he didn't want to come in at night just so he wouldn't disturb his wife, but why did his wife wait at home all night?" Jiang Yu asked Song Heqing calmly.

"Giving is not moving yourself, not considering other people's ideas."

"Master... I understand."

Jiang Yu: "..." What do you understand?
Song Heqing looked at Jiang Yu sincerely and nodded secretly. He would definitely ask his master what he needed in the future.

"Master, I will take you to Liu Ji."

Jiang Yu patted the back of Song Heqing's head and said, "Yes, a child can be taught."

The two returned to the inn, the door was closed, and the inn was dark.

Standing quietly in the wind, messy...

"Master?"

"Which room, let's go in."

Walking through the door, you will see that the tables in the inn have been arranged neatly, and you will go up the stairs to the second floor.

There were many rooms on the second floor. Jiang Yu stood at the stairs and stopped. Song Heqing walked in front of her and led the way.

Jiang Yu knocked on the door, and soon the door opened.

"Song...Ms. Jiang, are you back?" Liu Ji opened the door, a forced smile appeared on his face, and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were slightly wrinkled.

"Someone is waiting for you at home. If you go back, I will take you back now." Jiang Yu refused Liu Ji's request to let them in and stood outside the house to speak clearly.

"If I don't go back, that's all I'll say."

Jiang Yu waited for a moment, but Liu Ji didn't say anything, so he said to Song Heqing, "Let's go."

Just as they were about to go down the stairs, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Miss Jiang, I want to go back."

**
When Jiang Yu and Song Heqing walked out of Liu Ji's house, the moon was almost disappearing into the horizon.

"Master, where are we going?"

Song Heqing looked at the route Jiang Yu took, and the more he looked at it, the more strange it became. He seemed to be walking back.

"Back to the inn."

"Didn't we already send Liu Ji back? Why are we going back to that inn?" Could it be that something was left there?
Besides, there are even closer inns nearby, so there’s no need to travel so far, right?

"I stayed in that inn before I saw you, and I've already paid for it for a few days." Jiang Yu raised his forehead.

The little apprentice seemed to be acting foolishly again.

"Is that so..."

In the room

Jiang Yu was sleeping on the bed, and his little apprentice was happily making a bunk on the floor.

"Master, I didn't have time to talk because of some things today. Please talk to me now." Song Heqing lay on the carpet and tilted his head to look in Jiang Yu's direction.

Although you can only see the green tent floating, you can't see the people inside.

"Go to sleep, there's nothing to talk about in the dark." Jiang Yu rejected Song Heqing's words without mercy.

"Master! There are other things to do during the day, so it's only appropriate to say thoughtful words in the dark."

Jiang Yu ignored it.

"Master?"

Jiang Yu silently pulled up the quilt and covered his head.

"Master, Master, Master, do you listen to me?"

Jiang Yu silently stretched out his hands to cover his ears.
