CHAPTER 55
Xiyan took the package that Yan Tianmu had dropped, carried it on his back, and then returned to the place where Lei Yao was lying.
He hadn't woken up yet. Yan Tianmu's package also contained medicine to heal injuries. She went to the brook and fetched water, and used a slightly damp handkerchief to remove the blood and dirt from his hands. His fingers are long, and the calluses on them do not detract from its beauty in the slightest, and such a graceful hand should be holding a flute, playing the flute until dawn in the garden of flowers on a moonlit night. When the sharpness of the knife and the gentleness of the hand are in harmony, a cruel beauty is born. She wiped it gently, for fear of hurting him, and after wiping it completely, she sprinkled the medicine on the wound and bandaged it with a clean cloth.
His face must have been wounded by tree limbs and sharp stones, and there were slight scratches. Xiyan stretched out his hand to test under his nose, and found that after taking the medicine, his breathing was more stable than before, and listening to his heartbeat, it was also more powerful. This discovery made her very happy.
Little by little, she wiped his face delicately and gently. The sun gradually turned west, there were a few soft touches on his face, the new beard on it was a little decadent, Xiyan's hand swept over his beard, some prickly, some itchy, she tilted her head, pursed her mouth slightly, and looked at him carefully. There are too many vicissitudes and exhaustion on his face, the gentle and calm Prince Gong, the Prince Gong who has a smile like a spring breeze, is struggling in the control of fate, and the brows that are still locked in the coma seem to tell the heavy loss and weakness in his heart. She could wipe the stains off his face, but she couldn't wipe the sadness off them. You must hold on, you must wake up, there are still people waiting for you, Xiyan prayed secretly in her heart, her sister's pale face and the dark and thin face in front of her were intertwined, and she let out a long sigh.
As the sky sank, the coolness in the cliff gradually rose.
Xiyan didn't dare to move his body at will, so he could only wait for him to wake up. There is no way to light a fire in this place, it is all thick hay, and if you accidentally burn it, you will probably be burned here. She wrapped all the clothes she had brought with her around him, and hid herself in the recesses under the stone walls. There was no dry food, just a few steamed buns, she felt a little hungry, and the steamed buns were dry, so she had to squat by the river and nibble a few bites on the river water. The cold water struck my stomach, and I felt like my internal organs were frozen into stones.
"It's tragic. She watched as the light on the stream faded, and when she looked around, it was empty, except for the sharp cliffs. Missing hot meals and soft bedding, these simple bliss don't always be satisfied. After going back this time, no matter what happens, she will definitely not waste the opportunity of happiness by skipping meals and sleeping.
She slowly got up from the stream and walked back, took a few steps, and then stopped and turned back. She had water in her mouth, and her face was almost unconscious. After holding on for a while, feeling the water in her mouth no longer cool, she lowered her head and slowly crossed into his mouth for him to swallow.
Lei Yao moved, and the sharp pain in his leg cleared his drowsy brain. He remembered that he had fallen off a cliff. He tried to move his arm, only to notice that he was covered with clothes, and struggled to lift his hand, seeing that it was already wrapped. Lei Yao was surprised. He barely stood up, looked around, and found a faint huddled figure under the stone wall not far away.
"Hey. His voice was hoarse. "Who are you?"
Xiyan was barely asleep, chills all over, and she curled up tightly. In a haze, she heard someone shouting. She muttered, looking over in a daze.
She woke up suddenly, and quickly got out and ran to him.
"How are you?" she asked eagerly.
There were rocks blocking the moonlight from the rocks where they were, and it was shady during the day. In the dark, Lei Yao couldn't see her face clearly, but the voice sounded familiar.
"Who are you?" he asked, hesitantly. Could it be that there are people living under this mountain?
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Xiyan ignored his question, she just wanted to know if he wanted it.
"You saved me?"
"Nonsense, is there anyone else around here?" Xiyan was depressed, "Don't say it's useless, how do you feel now?"
Her words made Lei Yao laugh somehow, although in this situation, it didn't seem to be such a reaction.
"Anything else is fine, the leg, maybe broken. ”
"What should I do then?" Wouldn't he have had a hard time moving to the rope?
"I can't see anything now, I have to wait for dawn. Lei Yao said as easily as possible. Endured the pain.
"It hurts, doesn't it?" asked Xiyan. Although I couldn't see his expression, I knew that it would definitely not be as indifferent as his tone. She pulled out a small bag from her body and pulled out some leaves from it.
"Come, open your mouth. She held his face with one hand, and grabbed some leaves with the other to ask him to open his mouth, "This can relieve the pain, you take it in your mouth and chew it, and swallow the juice." ”
Her hands were colder than his face, but her breath was so warm, he opened his mouth, his teeth accidentally touched her fingers, and she put the leaves in her hand into his mouth as if she didn't feel it at all.
Xiyan knelt on the grass next to him, and naturally put the slippery clothes on him.
"How are you feeling now?" she asked after a long pause.
"It worked. Lei Yao felt that it didn't seem to hurt as much as just now.
"You, live around here?" the two were silent for a while, and Lei Yao asked.
"What, you want to repay me?" Xiyan tugged at the grass beside him for a while.
"You saved me, of course you have to repay me. ”
"It's not necessary to repay it, I only have one request. Xiyan thought for a moment.
"What?"
"Let me blindfold you. She said simply.
"Why?" Lei Yao was puzzled, "Is there anything inconvenient?"
"It's inconvenient. Xiyan's eyes rolled, and he said in a low and sad voice, "I was born with a strange appearance and couldn't see people, so I hid in the mountains to live." I saved you, but I don't want you to see my sore spots. If you really want to repay me, promise me to be blindfolded. ”
"Looks are just skins, why are you obsessed?" Lei Yao tried to dismantle her.
"That's what you think. She didn't appreciate it, "If I find out that you see me, I'll immediately hit the wall and die." ”
Lei Yao was surprised, he thought for a moment, "Okay, I promise you." ”
"Thank you, childe. Xiyan smiled secretly, took out the long cloth that had been prepared, crawled behind him, groped for the tie, and her hands and feet were clumsy.
"Otherwise, wait until dawn. Her hands were frozen and she didn't obey the call, and she didn't find a good angle after being entangled for a long time, so he kindly suggested.
"No, I can't. "She's resolute. Repeated failures and repeated attempts.
"Will it be too tight," she asked, but her hand was as tight as she could.
"No, it won't. He said good-naturedly. Even if she had already strangled him a little painfully.
"Alright. Satisfied, she turned to the front and leaned closer to his face. The smell of her body rushed into Lei Yao's nose.
"Do you really live in this mountain?" Lei Yao was not confused, he was very familiar with the surroundings, and he did not find any trace of anyone's home.
"yes. Xiyan turned the grassroots in his hand, "Otherwise, how could I find you." ”
"But I don't like the people here. ”
"You've not seen all the people here. She turned to him. In the dark, only the eyes were bright.
"Thank you. Lei Yao said sincerely.
"No, I don't. Xiyan smiled, "I've found someone, and I'll pull you up with a rope when it's dawn." ”
"I'm ......" As soon as Lei Yao spoke, he was interrupted by Xi Yan.
"Don't say anything, I don't need anything, you must take care when you go back, don't do anything like that again. This time it's your fate, and you won't be so lucky in the future. She spoke in a serious tone.
"You must know me. Lei Yao suddenly burst out.
"Yes, I took care of you, and I know you. Xiyan was not flustered and said calmly. "Lie down, rest well, and you can go back tomorrow. She carefully helped him to lie down slowly. She sat beside her, the stream gurgling, and the flow in the darkness was like a silent sigh in her heart.
"Are you hungry?" said Xi Yan to another thing.
She didn't say it, he didn't feel it yet, and as soon as he said it, he realized that his stomach was empty, and his chest was pressed against his back.
"I'm a little hungry. ”
"I'll give you something. She fumbled for the package, felt the steamed bun from the inside and handed it to him. Then he got up, ran to the stream, dipped himself in the water, and came back, "Let it be drunk." She carefully squeezed the water into his mouth.
He held the steamed bun in his wrapped hand and bit it slowly.
"It's hard. ”
"Luckily, that's what I ate in the camp. Lei Yao said lightly.
"It was hot, and now it bites like a stone. Xiyan jokingly said, "Be careful with your teeth." ”
"You live alone?" he asked, biting on the steamed bun.
"You have a lot of questions. ”
"But you didn't answer any of them. Lei Yao chuckled, "Being isolated from the world can still be so unrevealed, it is really a master of the world." ”
"If you ask any more, I won't let you go back. Xiyan smiled and said, "You are so handsome, I can relieve my boredom by my side with you." As she spoke, she tapped her hand lightly on his face.
Seeing that Lei Yao didn't answer, Xiyan deliberately asked, "Is there someone waiting at home?"
"I have a wife and a son. The tender love in his words made people jealous and envious.
"Understood. Xiyan looked at him, he must have a warm smile on his face, thinking about the beautiful flowers at home. "They must be waiting for you to return safely. ”
"So appreciate you even more. He turned to her, too. Her voice was really familiar. He didn't believe that she was a person who lived in the mountains, because her hands were so delicate and soft. But he didn't want to delve into it, he instinctively wanted to avoid the mystery, as she thought, and didn't want his life to change. They strangely reached a tacit understanding that was unspeakable.
