Thirty years of Emperor Ming.

Duanmu Xiaoxian is fourteen years old, Mo Ran is seventeen years old, Hua Yushi is fifteen, and Helian Qizhi is thirteen years old.

There is a small hot spring in the depths of the field behind the kitchen of the frosty courtyard, which is called the sun, with its back to the hill and deep in the cave. Because there is a hot spring in the cave, the rocks on the side of the spring water are turned into a field, and the fruits are often planted for winter.

It was a cold year, heavy snow closed the valley, and it did not come out in January.

The girl in white carried a bamboo basket and stepped on the snow through the frosty courtyard to the field behind the kitchen.

The young man in a pink jacket saw him under the corridor, pacing with his head on his pillow and shouting: "It's my sister's turn to prepare meals again, and I will be fed grass as a rabbit for a month~"

The girl looked back at him, and then went back to the kitchen in silence.

Walking through the bamboo forest for several miles in the snow, the girl bent down into the spring water hole, tied her long skirt around her waist, and then squatted on the side of the field to gently shake and turn the white radish planted in the garden, and then pulled it out vigorously.

She plucked a few turnips, turned over some potatoes, picked some broad-leaved greens and beans, and then bent out of the hole again.

The girl in white squatted down in a stream not far from the cave alone, warmed her hands in the mud and soil, and then slapped the frozen stream with one palm.

As far as the palm power reached, the water surface shattered, and suddenly many fresh fat small fish jumped up and fell back in the broken ice.

The girl brushed away the crushed ice and small fish, lowered her head and took out the vegetables in the basket and put them on the rocks on the shore, washed the bamboo basket and her hands, and began to choose the vegetables one by one.

After a while, hearing the footsteps behind her, the girl paused, but did not look back. One of them suddenly reached out and pushed her into the creek from behind.

The man in white leaned forward and rubbed his body and turned around, and saw the person behind him throwing himself into the stream.

The girl in white stepped on the rocks along the shore, and quickly grabbed the man's waist and brought him back.

But the person who came didn't know whether it was intentional or deliberate, the whole body kicked on the mossy bluestone with the wrong foot, and the weight of the whole body rushed down, and the girl fell into the snow along the shore with the girl's unreachable ability.

Helian Qizhi lay on his back in the snow and rocks, let out a small cry of pain, and then tilted his head and smiled at the white-clothed girl who was close at hand above. "Every time, I am avoided by my senior sister~"

The girl propped one hand in the snow on the side of his neck, and the other hand was being pulled out from under his waist, and the back of the hand seemed to have several scratches and red in several places.

Helian Qizhi suddenly reached out and wrapped his hand around the girl's neck as she stood up on the ground. "It's a pity that my senior sister can't help but pull me every time, and I still have to fall in the end~"

The girl's face was still indifferent, and she reached out to take his hand down.

Helian Qizhi suddenly blinked an eye and said, "How do you know that I'm just playing around with you?

The hand that the girl pulled down his hand suddenly stopped at her neck, and she felt the bubbling hot blood flow out.

Duanmu Xiaoxian's eyes widened. Woke up from a dream.

Yingli, who was sleeping on another simple couch in the house, woke up immediately, walked to the side of the wooden couch and exclaimed, "Sir, sir, what's wrong?"

The woman's forehead was wet with sweat, and she looked at the dark nothingness in front of her in a bit of confusion.

After a long time, he shook his head lightly and said, "It's nothing, but I remember some old things." ”

The cool breeze of the summer breeze was gently blowing in the summer night, and the smell of carrion sores and blisters on the sick in the manor was still faintly audible, and Duanmu felt a little cold.

When it was ugly, Yingli brought warm water to wipe the sweat on the woman on the couch, and then helped the woman lie down again.

The person on the couch seemed to see the childish face blinking and chuckling, vaguely still in front of him.

……

"Senior sister, were you just scared by me?" the young man on the snow grinned as he dragged something out of the back of the girl's neck.

It was a gray-haired hare with a wounded hind leg.

Its hind legs seemed to have been cut off by a short blade, and it was gurgling with blood, and Helian Qizhi dragged it from the back of the girl's neck to his body, and the bubbling blood dragged from the girl's neck to her chest, staining her white clothes, smudging, cold, and scabbing.

"Dinner plus this rabbit~Okay, okay?Senior sister, you see I'm calling~"

The girl in white looked at the rabbit he was carrying in his hand, and finally a slight wave appeared in her eyes, she was quiet for a while, and after holding her hand, she stretched out her hand to him, and said softly: "Give it to me?"

Helian Qizhi rolled over and grinned and handed the hare to the girl. "Of course, calling Senior Sister~ is to make a late ...... for Senior Sister"

The girl in white carefully took the hare with both hands and hugged it into her arms.

After waiting for Helian to react, he threw away the bamboo basket and unwashed vegetables and walked away.

When Helian was stunned, he chased back to the frosty courtyard, where the girl in white had already bandaged the hare, locked it in a corner of the drinking bamboo house, spread some hay, and was feeding some corn kernels dried in the autumn.

Helian came after him, and was about to enter the house to catch the hare, when the maiden closed the door in front of him. "Senior brother, please come out, I will scrub and change my dirty clothes and go to prepare food. ”

The young man in the pink jacket peeked outside the door for a while, and when he turned around, he saw Mo Ran carrying the washed vegetables at the courtyard gate.

"Where's the little sister?"

Helian Qizhi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I didn't see it, so I helped my senior sister wash the dishes?"

Someone else also said sarcastically: "Why did my junior brother and I go to pick vegetables and choose to wash them, but we don't see my senior brother looking for them, and I don't see my senior brother helping?"

Mo Ran turned his eyes and glanced at the girl in colorful clothes who was walking with a bunch of insect Gu bottles and cans in her arms, and didn't say much.

Hua Yushi found a poisonous insect from the valley that could be tested, so he walked by the two of them, and went straight into his dwelling, without saying much.

The girl in the house changed into a white jacket and dress, pushed the door out, looked at the situation in the courtyard, stepped forward to take the bamboo basket in Mo Ran's hand, and saluted: "Senior Brother Xie." ”

The dark-clothed young man, who was already erect and slender, showed a very shallow gentle smile, and his chin responded.

A few days later, the girl in white had just released the wounded hare back into the mountain, and Helian Qizhi grabbed it again and carried it to the girl. "Senior sister~ This time I injured it in the same part again, do you still want to treat it?" After saying that, the hare in pain and struggling in his hand probed the boiling hot water in the pot, and said with a smile: "How about the pot?"

The girl put down the white radish she was cutting, and once again reached out and took the hare into her bosom.

Helian Qizhi smiled and watched her carry the rabbit back to her residence, licked the corner of her lips, and cut the remaining white radish and threw it into the pot.

A few days later, for the third time, the wounded hare was carried in front of her by the young man in the pink jacket with its bloody hind legs, and it struggled slightly in the young man's hands, and it was already extremely weak at a glance.

The baby-faced cute boy tilted his head and smiled: "This time~ Senior Sister can still be cured?"

The girl in white looked at the hare's gray and tumbling eyelids, and then reached out and touched its hind legs and the roots of the legs, which were connected by only a little bit of flesh. Seeing that he was motionless, his fingertips trembled, he lowered his hand, raised his eyes and looked coldly at the delicate young man in front of him.

Helian Qizhi was glared at by her and smiled, and then leaned over to the girl with big eyes, "Senior sister, you can't cure it, can you?" He squinted and smiled: "But Qizhi can still be cured~ Senior sister, you might as well kiss me, and if you kiss me, I'll treat it~"

The moon is as bright as day, Duanmu Xiaoxian is lying on the simple couch, you can smell the wind outside the window with the heat slowly dispersed, the sky is empty, the darkness is a piece, quiet and quiet, lonely and clear. It's not as cold as it was back then, and it's not as playful as it was back then.

She no longer remembered that she had responded to him, but that in the spring of the following year, she finally saw the gray rabbit with a broken leg and limping back towards the mountains and forests beyond the valley.

Stumbling, stumbling, but in a hurry.

Later, one night, the pink-clothed boy hung upside down under her eaves, pushed open the window of the white-clothed girl's house with a "bang", squinted his eyes and smiled: "Senior sister, if one day I let all the rabbits in this valley get sick, no one can cure it except me, you still can't, I let you marry me, I will treat them, do you promise to agree?"

The girl in the room was bathing, and when she heard the noise, she turned her back to him. Hold yourself and don't say a word.

Helian Qizhi looked at the girl who was sitting quietly in the water and didn't dare to move a little, and his eyes slid along the girl's white and wet shoulders and neck. He continued: "Well~ It's not easy for this disease to stump Senior Sister~ I want to make them both poisoned and infected, their whole bodies are ulcerated, covered with red sores, and even pus flows out of their mouths, making them look disgusting, terrifying and pickled, so that Senior Sister, you are distressed and powerless~ Let the master think that it is just an ordinary epidemic, but it can't be cured, and they die slowly one by one, and in the end everyone can only come to me~ Senior sister, do you say it's okay?"

Later, the young man in pink was caught by Mo Ran and thrown out of the frosty courtyard, and was punished to kneel in the rain for several days.

The girl in white picked up bamboo and wood by herself, built a medicine house on the side of the drinking bamboo house, read it day and night, looked through all the medical books in the valley, and memorized all the medical books in the valley. After studying for a long time, the lamp oil burned out, but he still couldn't think of what epidemic and poison would be as Helian Qizhi said, and what medicine and method could cure it.

When the master returned to the valley, she told him the truth and asked.

Qing Yi looked at the medicine house and the old medical books in the medicine, and only asked, "Do you know why your medical skills are inferior to Helian?"

The girl in white lowered her head and clenched her hand in the Chinese medicine book, without saying a word.

Because he has no compassion, he often grabs live creatures to apply medicine and test poison, and he heals his wounds, and so on. If you don't have a disease, you won't be able to practice what you know, and it will be difficult to see accidents, and it will be difficult to break the old shackles. Qingyi continued: "Actually, you are self-taught, you can administer medicine to save people, you have never made mistakes, and you are already very human." Master is not saying that it is wrong for you to be so benevolent, but it is not impossible for Qi Zhi to study the method of saving people by trying the method inhumanly. ”

At that time, the girl in white clothes as clear as the moon was silent for a while, and then raised her eyes slightly and returned to the person in front of her: "All beings should be equal, and there should be no one life in the world that is more important than the other...... The disciple just thinks that he has no right to decide the fate of other things, and the beasts and birds also have their fate, which is nothing more than that, so the disciple does not dare to try. ”
