Chapter 32

This year's snow fell extraordinarily hard. I don't know when it started to snow in the middle of the night. The dry and cold north wind swept the snowflakes and took away the warmth in the house. Shen Ci was woken up by freezing at five o'clock.Xu Qinghan was still sleeping in his arms, only a small piece of the top of his head was exposed, he rolled the quilt to two thirds, there was Shen Ci's warm chest in the front, and a thick quilt to cover the wind in the back, no wonder he didn't feel cold anymore.

The fire in the house had been extinguished long ago, and there was not even a little red light left.Shen Ci held his breath and moved Xu Qinghan's right leg that was pressing on his crotch down, and then got out from his wrapped arms, fulfilling his wish without disturbing the sleeping person next to him.He tucked the corners of the quilt tightly, got off the bed with his shoes on, and put on his clothes in two or three steps.

The firewood piled up in the corner of the yard was already wet with fresh snow, so Shen resigned from the firewood room to pick up some spare dry firewood, lit the stove in the house, and let the warmth drive out the cold again.He watched Xu Qinghan silently in the half-light of the fire until the cock crowed three times, then put on a cloak and closed the door and left.

The guest room was about a mile away from Shen Xin's medicine house, and when Shen Ci arrived, Shen Xin had already dressed and washed, and was kneeling beside the short feet of Huanghuali, pounding medicine.Shen Ci recognized the smell of the honeysuckle that hadn't had time to be thrown into the medicine mortar and guessed that Shen Xin was mixing antipyretics for Xu Qinghan, so he sat cross-legged opposite him and said, "Boil two medicines, bring me one too."

His voice was hoarse with the wind and cold, his heart was as clear as a mirror, and he softly enjoined, "Recently, turmoil is about to start, you should have a good rest, don't work too hard at night, you guys...restraint."

"Let me tell you something serious." Shen Ci coughed dryly in embarrassment, and changed the subject, "I want you to help me find a handy knife."

Shen Xin asked, "Aren't all of you martial arts practitioners accustomed to using your magic weapons?"

"Yes, but it's better to be unaccustomed than bare-handed." Shen Ci sighed, implying that he had no weapons at all.

Shen Xin's right hand paused, "Where's your knife?"

"I was wronged and imprisoned in the palace, and the knife was also confiscated." Shen Ci said with regret, "It has been lost for a long time, and I have never seen it again."

"Okay. How do you use it smoothly?"

Shen Ci stretched out his right index finger and drew a few strokes on the low table, "The horizontal knife is two feet three long, one inch wide, and weighs three catties and three taels."

It just so happened that Zhao Wuxia also arrived, and was standing at the door, brushing the snowflakes that fell on his shoulders and hair. Hearing this, he turned his head and frowned and said, "Such light and small knives are usually used by women."

Shen Ci looked at him with admiration in his eyes, "What Zhao Daxia said is true, the saber I wore in the past is the relic of Xianci."

"There is nothing wrong with using lighter and smaller weapons when you were young. With your current strength, you should..." Zhao Wuxia frowned, shook his head, but did not continue.He obviously can't understand Shen Ci's use of inappropriate weapons, but how to choose depends on Shen Ci, the person involved. He can't use the knife for him, so it's up to the point.

"I've been using it for a long time, I'm used to it." This is not a prevarication. Shen Ci was poor back then, and he couldn't afford to exchange for a fine steel black iron blade.When he had spare money in his teens and 20s, he was so used to light knives that he could no longer accept taking advantage of them.

Shen Xin knelt down slightly, smiled and said to Zhao Wuxia, "Brother Zhao came just in time. I don't know knives, and I haven't collected them before. Come and see if you can find a suitable one for him?"

Zhao Wuxia replied, "It's true that I can borrow a sharp weapon from the same sect of Jianzong, but I don't have such a light knife. Mr. Shen Xin should know that Jianzong does not accept female disciples."

Shen Ci said, "If you don't have a knife, a sword can be used instead, and the size should be about the same."

Swords are generally lighter than knives, so they are much easier to find.Zhao Wuxia agreed very straightforwardly, "I'll send someone to borrow from my friend for a few days, the sword has spirit, you have to treat it well."

Shen Ci cupped his hands and said, "I will never let Zhanchen Sword break in my hands."

Zhao Wuxia's complexion changed slightly, he stared at Shen Ci and asked, "How do you know it's Zhan Chen?"

Shen Ci calmly replied, "Shuangjie Zhao Wuxia and Ye Qing are like brothers, I have heard about it."

"First, I revealed my identity just because my hearing is beyond ordinary people, and then I told my friend the name of Zhanchen Sword without thinking. Are you paying too much attention to Jianzong?"

Shen Ci said frankly, "To tell the truth, Zhao Daxia, I really have a deep-rooted obsession with Jianzong. Ten years ago, I took great pains to help Sect Master Li when Jianzong encircled and suppressed evil, and I almost lost my life."

Zhao Wuxia grasped the disharmony, "Painful? What are your plans?"

"Humans make money and birds die for food. If there is no benefit, why should I go through this muddy water? With this kind of favor, I asked Sect Master Li for an invitation letter from the Sword Sect, so that my younger brother can become a disciple of the Sword Sect." Shen Cisao rubbed his chin and clicked his tongue, "It's a pity that it's useless. My idiot brother really pissed me off. Two days before the departure, he signed a contract without telling me to enter the palace and served as a guard for five years."

As the number one sect in Jianghu, Jianzong, countless young talents have sharpened their heads and want to squeeze in. If you want to join Jianzong, it is not enough to have real talents and learning, and you also need to be rich and powerful.It's a pity to waste the invitation letter like this, even Zhao Wuxia couldn't help sighing, "Brother Ling really wasted all your hard work."

Shen Ci sighed heavily, hating that iron cannot be made into steel, "I hope that he can be proud all day long, but being a servant in the palace will always be inferior to others. I still want him to go to Jianzong to hone his skills, so that he will have a bright future in the future."

Shen Ci has already expressed his wish very straightforwardly, Zhao Wuxia frowned decisively and refused, "I only have the right to recommend a disciple, and it should not be used lightly."

"I was the one who was abrupt." Shen Ci said regretfully.He and Zhao Wuxia had only met each other a few times, how could he sell such a big favor to him, he was really impatient, every day he didn't settle Shen Che well, he would feel restless every day.

Shen Xin leisurely interjected, "If you stay and help me, I will intercede with Brother Zhao and give Xiao Che'er this chance. Or it would be nice to let him stay by my side, our Shen family is considered a famous family, right?"

Shen Ci stood up and cupped his fists, "Farewell."

Shen Xin pressed the table and stood up, "I'm leaving just now, don't you want to sit for a while?"

"It's time for my prince to wake up, I'll go back and serve him." Shen Ci said as he slipped out the door with oil on his feet.

Shen Xin went to the door to see them off, raised her voice and shouted to Shen Ci's back, "You can think about the proposal I just said, think about it carefully!"

Shen Ci rolled his eyes and muttered, "Take your father's concerns into account, bastard." The thief boat has already made him fearful this time, how dare he drag Shen Che into the water?

Shen Ci came and went in a hurry this time, and came back after finishing his business. The firewood in the stove had not been burned out, but the quilt on the bed was empty.He searched around the house for a few times but couldn't find Xu Qinghan, so he broke out in a cold sweat.Xu Qinghan is safe near Shen Xin's medicine house, but other places are full of other people's eyeliner, if someone finds out, it will cause serious trouble.Not to mention that he will suffer a lot in the hands of others, even Shen Xin will be accused of ineffective supervision, during this battle for position, Shen Xin must not be caught with any excuses.
