The items used by the royal family all had special markings. Although the cup looked ordinary, it was made of good quality material. No matter what, such a cup should not appear here.
The place where they took shelter from the rain was a village at the foot of the mountain. The people living here were almost isolated from the rest of the world. Before they settled down, the Hidden Dragon Guards had already checked and found that there were no problems with the people here.
Why would there be an item used by the royal family in such a remote village?
Shen Yu turned the cup and looked at the cup in his hand. In fact, he was quietly looking around. Other than the two cups, there was nothing wrong with the room.
"Auntie, where did you buy this cup? I like it very much and want to buy a set to bring it back." Shen Yu retracted his gaze and asked casually.
"Young Master, are you talking about this cup? It was not bought. It was washed down from the mountain when it rained heavily. At that time, many things fell down from the mountain. Everyone in the village brought back the things that could still be used. We thought that a wealthy family was in trouble and sent people to the mountain to search for them. However, we could not find them."
"Which mountain is it?"
"The one in front." The auntie pointed to the southwest direction.
There was a towering mountain there. If it was not for the sudden rain, Shen Yu and the rest would not have passed by it.
After drinking a cup of hot water, their bodies warmed up. Shen Yu and Shang Junlin sat in the room and waited for the rain to stop.
The auntie went to work and only Shen Yu and Shang Junlin were left in the room. Shen Yu held the teacup and rubbed the sides of the cup. He asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to take a look at that mountain?"
"After the rain stops, we will go and take a look."
The rain continued for about four hours. After the rain stopped, Shen Yu and Shang Junlin did not set off immediately. They planned to take a look at the mountain after the rain dried up.
Seeing that they were interested, the auntie instructed her youngest son to lead the way for them. "If you two young masters want to go up the mountain, you can bring my youngest son along. He likes to go up and down the mountain since he was young. He knows the way up and down the mountain very well."
The auntie called out her youngest son. He was about 12 or 13 years old. His clothes were patched and his eyes were dark and full of spirit. When he looked at them, there was an unconcealable curiosity in his eyes.
She secretly looked at Shen Yu several times, thinking that she had not been discovered.
The young man's eyes were clean, clear, and not annoying at all, so Shen Yu didn't expose him.
It didn't rain that night, so the woman tidied up her youngest son's room for them to stay in. "The conditions at home are simple and crude, so please don't mind."
"We should be thanking Auntie for taking us in. Otherwise, we might still be outside in the rain."
Shen Yu's attitude was gentle. With just a few words, the woman let down her guard and told them a lot of news about the village.
The village was located at the foot of the mountain and was surrounded by mountains on three sides. It was very difficult to go out. They were basically self-sufficient and planted some food at the foot of the mountain. Every once in a while, the men in the mountain would go hunting in groups to supplement the family. The cup was found by the men when they went hunting.
The master of the woman's house and her eldest son took the game to the market, leaving only the woman and her youngest son at home. According to the woman, every family was like this. Most of the people who stayed were the elderly, women, and children.
It was no wonder that when they first entered the village, the people they met were vigilant towards them. Shen Yu guessed the reason from the woman's words. The young men in the house were not at home, so it was normal for them to be vigilant when strangers suddenly came.
After chatting for a while, the woman went out. Shen Yu sat on the bed and poked Shang Junlin's arm.
Shang Junlin lowered his head and looked at him in confusion. "What's wrong?"
"Your Majesty, have you lived in a place like this before?" Shen Yu leaned his head on the man's shoulder and couldn't help but think of his previous life. There was a period of time in his previous life when he was running around for King Yue and suffered a lot. He also lived in a farmer's house. At that time, he didn't feel anything. Now that he was with Shang Junlin, even if the surrounding environment was bad, he still felt sweet.
This trip back to the capital was definitely not comfortable. Shen Yu was not someone who couldn't bear hardships. This was nothing to him, but Shang Junlin always had a faint sense of guilt.
The man hid it well, but Shen Yu still felt it. He could roughly understand why Shang Junlin felt guilty. Shang Junlin always wanted to give him the best of everything. This trip back to the capital was too far away.
Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand, which was hanging by his side. "When I was marching in the army, I lived in all kinds of places. But at that time, I was alone. Now that I have A Yu by my side, it feels different."
As long as A Yu was by his side, no matter what the surrounding environment was, Shang Junlin felt that it didn't matter.
"It feels very different to stay overnight with Your Majesty," Shen Yu's voice was very soft, as if he was sighing. "Today, I think that with Your Majesty, even if we can only live in a small village, it's not bad to live a life where we work at sunrise and rest at sunset."
Shang Junlin held Shen Yu's hand tightly. "I …"
"If we really live here like everyone here, will Your Majesty hunt and raise me?" Before Shang Junlin finished speaking, Shen Yu interrupted him. "I can't carry anything with my hands or shoulders. Without Your Majesty, I may not even be able to eat."
Shang Junlin couldn't help but think along with Shen Yu's words. If he wasn't the Emperor and was just an ordinary person living in the village, he would definitely do his best to let A Yu live a good life after getting A Yu.
He had good strength, he could go up the mountain to hunt, he could plant crops in the fields. A Yu only needed to wait at home for him to come back. He couldn't bear to let A Yu do any heavy work.
He and A Yu were like thousands of ordinary couples. Whatever A Yu wanted to do, he would do his best to satisfy her …
"Your Majesty, quickly say it." Shang Junlin didn't speak. Shen Yu was dissatisfied and knocked his forehead against him.
Shang Junlin reached out and hugged the young man again. He lowered his head and rubbed his face. "A Yu doesn't need to do anything. I will take good care of A Yu. I won't let A Yu suffer or be tired."
Shen Yu was amused by Shang Junlin's seriousness. He leaned in the man's arms and laughed.
Perhaps the two of them had discussed this topic that night, Shen Yu had a dream that night. In the dream, he and Shang Junlin had been living in the village. During the day, Shen Yu would move a small stool and sit beside him to watch a man in coarse short clothes work in the field. The small stool he sat on was also made by the man himself.
In the hot summer, the man walked towards him with a head full of sweat. He got up and took out a clean handkerchief to wipe the sweat on the man's forehead. Unexpectedly, the man hugged his waist and he fell into the man's arms.
A chuckle came from the top of his head. The young man angrily pushed the man away. Before he could leave, he was caught in the man's arms again.
When he woke up, he felt refreshed. Shen Yu sat up and looked around. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
Shang Junlin pushed the door and came in. At a glance, he saw the young man sitting on the bed with a confused expression.
"A Yu, you're awake?" Without thinking, Shang Junlin quickly walked to the bed and hugged the young man intimately.
Every time he woke up, Shen Yu would be in a semi-conscious state for a period of time. During this period, the young man was very different from usual. He was obedient and soft. Shang Junlin loved this moment very much.
In the midst of the intimacy, Shen Yu slowly came back to his senses. He withdrew from the man's arms and said, "It seems that the sun is out."
"Yes," Shang Junlin took the clothes on the side and put them on Shen Yu. "After breakfast, I plan to go up the mountain. Will A Yu stay here or go up the mountain with me?"
This sentence perfectly coincided with what happened in the dream. Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh.
"What is A Yu laughing about?" Shang Junlin didn't understand.
"I feel that the current His Majesty is very similar to the one described last night. I'll wait at home for His Majesty to go up the mountain to hunt …" Shen Yu couldn't help but laugh again.
Shang Junlin tidied up Shen Yu's sleeves and said, "You're right. Will A Yu wait for your husband at home?"
"No, I'll go wherever my husband goes." Shen Yu raised his head to make it easier for Shang Junlin to tidy up his collar.
Shang Junlin looked down at the young man who was unguarded against him. He tried to restrain himself, but in the end, he couldn't hold back and leaned over to kiss him.
It was a domineering kiss.
Shen Yu moaned twice. Seeing that he couldn't break free, he closed his eyes and enjoyed this morning service.
Shang Junlin was very excited. Shen Yu was also very tempted. Unfortunately, the time and place didn't allow it. The two kissed for a while and had to separate before things got completely out of control.
Shen Yu leaned on the man's chest. Both of them were breathing heavily. Not knowing what Shen Yu thought, he suddenly laughed.
The low laughter was heard, and his body trembled slightly. Shang Junlin's fire, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, almost burned again. He had to grab the young man's shoulder and separate him from his body.
"What is A Yu laughing about?"
The man's voice was low and hoarse. It was filled with lust and helplessness.
"He's laughing at Your Majesty …" Shen Yu's voice was filled with laughter, "Your Majesty also has such a day …"
Shang Junlin didn't mind being teased by Shen Yu. He lowered his head slightly, leaned close to the young man's ear, and bit the jade-like earlobe, "You dare to make fun of me? When we return to the palace, I'll treat you well … "
At this time, in this position, it was self-evident what kind of treatment he would use.
Shen Yu's body trembled. This time, it wasn't because of the laughter. He grabbed the man's sleeve. The contrast between his white fingers and the black clothes was even more obvious. He refused to be outdone and said, "I'll wait and see."
The man's eyes darkened. His eyes were filled with strong emotions. He unconsciously tightened his grip on Shen Yu's shoulder.
Feeling the danger, Shen Yu coughed twice and reminded the man, "Well, Your Majesty, we should go out."
Shang Junlin closed his eyes and suppressed the various reactions of his body.
The two fooled around for a while. When they left the house, half an hour had already passed.
Breakfast had been prepared. The conditions were limited, so there was only a simple porridge and side dishes. The woman set the bowls and chopsticks and stood to the side a little uneasily.
Shen Yu and Shang Junlin sat down together. After breakfast, the two walked outside. Then, under the guidance of the woman's son, they went up the mountain.
The mountain road was rugged. It rained yesterday, so it was muddy. After walking for a while, Shang Junlin suddenly stopped.
The young man looked in front and said, "The road ahead is more difficult to walk."
Shen Yu looked in front of him. Indeed, the road was narrower.
A few Hidden Dragon Guards followed behind them. There were also some who were hiding in the dark. Along the way, the young man looked at the Hidden Dragon Guards curiously.
He didn't understand where these people came from. He didn't see so many people around before.
Shang Junlin walked in front of Shen Yu and said, "I'll carry you up."
Shen Yu thought for a while and didn't refuse. He leaned on the man's broad shoulders and felt very safe.
"Are you brothers?" The young man looked at them enviously. "You have a good relationship. My brother doesn't like to carry me."
"We're not brothers." Shen Yu tilted his head and said, "He's my lover."
"Don't you think so, Brother Lin?"
