Looking back at the snow swallow beside her, her dark jade eyes stared into the distance, her moist red lips turned upward, very focused and warm.

"It's getting late, it's time for us to go back. Mingzhe really can't bear to interrupt her state of mind, but there is no way, I have to go to Lu School tomorrow.

Xue Yan didn't seem to hear it, and suddenly got up and said, "Let's go." ”

The two of them didn't say a word all the way and silently embarked on the return journey.

_

It was already dusk when I arrived at the entrance of the village, and I saw Xueyan's mother, Aunt Zhang, pacing back and forth beside the willow tree at the entrance of the village, chanting words in her mouth.

When he saw these two people returning, he opened his mouth and scolded: "You dead girl, where did you go crazy?!" After glancing at Mingzhe, Yin Yang shouted strangely: "What's the good of being with some random people all day long?

Xue Yan smiled awkwardly at Mingzhe, turned back to her mother and said, "Mother... Let's go collect medicine for my dad together, and he's not the kind of person you said..."

Aunt Zhang pulled Xue Yan over, couldn't hear what she was nagging clearly, and hurriedly walked home.

Mingzhe watched their mother and daughter leave, and shook his head helplessly.

_

"Mother, I'm back. Mingzhe returned home with his tired body.

The mother greeted her, frowned when she saw the child's clothes in tatters, and when she saw some bad points and dried blood, she said loudly: "Stinky boy, why are you so worry-free, your father is easy to run around and work, too ignorant!" The mother's eyes moistened, and she turned her head back to her room, and faintly heard the sound of sobbing...

Mingzhe sighed, and returned to his room, with a full sense of relief: Yes, my father has been doing herbal medicine business outside for many years, and he has no time to take care of the family, and only his mother takes care of the family alone, and it is really not easy to save money!

Putting down the bamboo basket, he also let go of his worries, took out a cloth bag, used chopsticks to clip out a thick and fat green worm from it, put it in the food box next to the bed, and shouted to the roof beam: "Come on, little gray, rhubarb, let's eat!"

I saw two mountain birds, one gray and one yellow, flying on the roof beam: the gray body was smaller, with gray feathers all over the body, only a tuft of snow-white feathers on its head, and its call was sharp and pleasant, while the yellow one was fat, with a slightly downward curved beak tip, and the golden feathers had the size of black beans, and the feathers on the head were cocked backwards, which was very majestic.

Rhubarb pecked wildly when he saw the green worms, and most of the dozen green worms disappeared in an instant, and then he stopped, looked at Mingzhe, and then flew back to the roof beam.

On the other hand, Xiao Ash stopped eating after slowly swallowing the two green worms, and flew up Mingzhe's shoulder, chattering non-stop, and his little head rubbed his cheeks from time to time, very happy.

Mingzhe stroked its petite body, and he was also extremely happy.

"By the way, and you..." Mingzhe picked up another cloth bag and threw the grains at the three water tanks against the wall, and the water in the water tanks splashed.

Put down the cloth bag, lie on the bed and cover your head and sleep.

_

These two mountain birds were Mingzhe's childhood companions, his father brought them back when he went up the mountain to hunt, he was very happy at that time, and hatched into adult birds with great difficulty, took great care of them, often caught some green worms to feed them, they also liked Mingzhe very much, and he was very intimate, and over time there was no need for a bird cage to restrain them.

Mingzhe actually rarely speaks, this is true for his mother, and even more so for others, and the only ones who can talk to him more are Xueyan and these two mountain birds.

Xiao Ash stood on the square table next to the bed, looked at Mingzhe who was sleeping suspiciously, and flew back to the roof beam after waiting for a long time.

As the night wore on, the sounds of the village cats and dogs could not be heard, and the insects were tired, but only occasionally let out a low chirp.

In Mingzhe's room, the flashing green light looked particularly strange, Mingzhe's whole body was surrounded by green light, his face showed a painful expression, he turned over, only to see that the wound left by cutting the thorns when he went up the mountain was healing rapidly with the speed that his eyes could see, if this scene was displayed in front of everyone, no one would suspect that he was a demon.

A bright moon hung high in the sky, sometimes bright and sometimes dim by the clouds.

A pink stream swept across the sky, and the wind was mixed with wisps of fragrance, and suddenly there was a voice: "Huh, is it?"

Soon, from behind the thick banyan tree in front of Mingzhe's house, a gorgeous woman walked out, with red lips and blue eyes, and her willow eyebrows furrowed, and said to herself: "Is it really the body of the wood source?

The long pink dress framed her body with perfect curves, and when she turned around, she turned into nothingness.

_

"Mingzhe, it's time to go to Lujuku..."Xue Yan's cry sounded at the door.

Mingzhe grabbed a half-bitten steamed bun and walked outside the house, smiled at her, and was just about to walk towards the riverside ferry together, when he heard the call of his mother behind him: "Little fool, your school bag!

Xue Yan looked at the steamed bun in Mingzhe's hand, still disheveled, so she covered her mouth and snickered.

Mingzhe took the schoolbag in his mother's hand, habitually scratched his head, didn't know what he remembered, and looked at Xueyan beside him.

I saw Xue Yan say to him, "Let's go." Then he turned around and walked towards the ferry, and Mingzhe quickened his pace to follow.

_

Xue Yan, who was standing on the bow of the boat, suddenly asked: "I remember that you were injured a lot when you cut thorns, why don't you have any medicine?"

Mingzhe lowered his head and said slowly: "Actually, I'm also very curious, I don't know how to heal, I went back to feed them and rested, there was no medicine, really." ”

Xue Yan let out an 'oh' and turned her head to look into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking.

There were also a dozen teenagers as old as them on the boat, chatting in groups of three or five.

The boat went straight down the river and headed downstream for the town of Daguan.

The surrounding mountains gradually became shorter, and scattered farmland also appeared in the flat places between the mountains from time to time, and after reaching the easternmost peak of the Wolong Mountains, the endless plains were revealed to everyone.

The farmland outlines the plain into a square grid, like a chessboard, and all kinds of crops sway in the wind, as if singing a song of growth.

_

When Mr. finished his long recount of the art of war, Mingzhe paced slowly towards the ferry, and Xue Yan followed behind him, also with her head bowed.

Mingzhe suddenly turned back to Xue Yan and asked, "What is the effect of your father after taking the Divine Grass?"

Xue Yan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I made medicine for Fang Shi, he said that only by making medicine can I cure my father's injury, and only he knows the preparation method of Shencao, and he can't eat it directly, it will die!

Mingzhe shouted: "What?!Why don't you send it to the village hospital?"

Mingzhe sighed and hurried towards the ferry.

Xue Yan also seemed to understand something, and followed closely.

_

Just when they were about to arrive at the ferry, a sudden change occurred, more than a dozen classmates (classmates) in the Lu school surrounded them, the leader was a well-dressed rich boy, the bright and colorful robe set off his sturdy physique, the bright and shining jade is extraordinary, the feather fan in his hand shook gently, and looked at the two of them with a look of ambition.

"Where are you going in such a hurry, are you in a hurry to do some shady deeds?" Brother Gongzi spoke first, causing the evil laughter of everyone behind him.

Xue Yan grabbed in front of Mingzhe and scolded: "Nonsense! You bastard, we won't..."

Mingzhe pulled Xue Yan behind him and said, "We are really in a hurry, please leave quickly." ”

Brother Gongzi looked up to the sky and laughed, as if he had heard the most humorous joke in the world, leaning forward and back, and getting carried away.

Brother Gongzi smiled and glared at Mingzhe angrily, and said viciously: "What kind of thing are you? A beggar-like scum still wants to touch my little beauty of Xueyan?

Mingzhe gradually clenched his fists, and tightened a few more points in the foul language such as 'I really can't do it' and 'the toad wants to eat swan meat'.
