Chapter 156: Late Days
When the six flying flowers enter the house, sit and watch the green bamboo turn into Qiongzhi.
In the small courtyard of the deep valley, the snow is faint, and the thin snow covers the front of the house and under the eaves.
In the Lan Curie, Lan Suwan sat facing the window, bowing her head and holding the needle and thread, and the afternoon light was brighter under the snow-colored reflection, shining on the needlework cloth in her hand.
"Second Senior Sister. Yun Xiao's call suddenly came from outside, Lan Suwan was startled, and with a look on her face, she hurriedly hugged the needlework cloth on her legs to the bed, and covered it with a brocade quilt casually.
Only then did he go out and open the door of the small house. "Why is my junior brother here?"
Yun Xiao stood in front and did not go in. Looking at the girl in the door, she smiled warmly and handed over something: "Second senior sister, I have already given my master, and I will leave to return to Qingfeng Village today to resume my life." This group is the ice-blooded silk, which was born by the ice-blooded silkworm given by Lezheng's family before. This thing is unusually tough, light and slender, and can detect poison, it is the kind of silk thread that senior sister is used to, Yun Xiao thinks it is the most appropriate for senior sister. ”
Lan Suwan was stunned for a moment, looked down at the ball of red silk he stretched out and handed over, raised his head and said in a stunned voice, "You...... Are you leaving?
Yun Xiao nodded: "I was really ordered to go out to run errands when I left Qingfeng Village, and now that the time limit is imminent, I should rush back as much as possible." ”
Lan Suwan's eyes were reluctant, and she said gloomily: "Yes...... Master lost you in Qingfeng Village, you can't return to the valley yet...... "After saying that, he felt speechless, for fear that Yun Xiao would remember the past and be sad and lonely, so he hurriedly said: "Senior brother, don't mind, Master she ......"
When I looked up, I saw the person in front of me with a clear smile, and his solemn and dignified eyebrows and eyes were stretched, warm and clear, and there was no displeasure: "I don't mind anymore." The young man shook his head, his expression humble and soft. Zhengran continued: "...... I just want to achieve what Grandpa Ghost said as soon as possible, come back to the valley, follow the senior sisters, and serve the master. ”
Lan Suwan was stunned for a moment, as if the person in front of her was a little different...... What is the difference, but it is not known.
Lan Suwan felt a little relieved when she saw that he seemed to have let go of the long-cherished grudge in his heart and no longer blamed the master...... But for some reason, I was a little apprehensive.
"Thank you, junior brother......" The girl in blue reached out and took the ice-blooded silk in the young man's hand, and felt even more reluctant, raised her head and looked at Yun Xiao sadly: "Senior brother, can't ......you stay for one more day?" At least...... At least have a meal with Master and us a year ago, and it's not too late to leave tomorrow morning......"
"Who wants to go?" Not far away, a purple-clothed girl jumped down from the bamboo fence in the courtyard and came over in a few steps: "Is it Xiao Yunzi?? It can't be the second senior sister, right?"
Lan Suwan's eyebrows were lightly pursed.
Yun Xiao turned around, looked at Ah Zi with a smile and said, "It's Yun Xiao who needs to go back to Qingfeng Village to recover his life." ”
Ah Zi's little face immediately collapsed: "Ah???Xiao Lanlan and Ah Yue have only been running for a few days, are even Xiao Yunzi leaving?" The man in purple said flatly: "I don't want ...... As soon as you leave, Senior Sister hasn't come back yet, and no one has to play with me...... Woo wow, Ah Zi is so pitiful!"
The people in Tsing Yi smiled unconsciously, and said gently: "Hasn't the little senior sister been accompanied by Xuewa'er recently......?
Ah Zi immediately became angry, and shouted: "Where is it! This little mink cub, as soon as the master walked on the front foot, it jumped back to the master next to the second senior sister on the back foot, pretending to be dead and stupid and cute, and even thought that he didn't know Ah Zi!"
Pity her in front of the master, she can't do anything with it anymore......
Ah Zi pulled Yun Xiao's sleeve seriously, twisted his eyebrows and said: "Xiao Yunzi, Ah Zi has the illusion of being crossed by the river and the bridge was demolished, I don't know if it's Ah Zi's illusion......
Lan Suwan didn't care about the purple-clothed girl, she looked up and said to Yun Xiao again: "I hope that the junior brother can stay for one more day, I will cook more dishes for dinner, and use it in the dining room on the side of the master's curie, and then invite the master to come over, and the four of us will ...... after dinner together."
"Make more dishes?" Ah Zi's eyes lit up, and there was a suspicion of a ha-lazi flowing down his mouth, and after swallowing a saliva, he turned his head and grabbed Yun Xiao's sleeve: "I'll leave tomorrow! I'll leave tomorrow! Although Senior Sister is not here, we and Master are here! Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat today, and leave tomorrow!"
The young man in Tsing Yi hesitated.
Ah Zi pouted highly: "I am the senior sister, the second senior sister is also the senior sister, Xiaoyunzi, you are the youngest!
Yun Xiao glanced at Lan Suwan, saw the look in her eyes, couldn't help but soften, nodded with a smile, and said with relief: "Then listen to the second senior sister and the little senior sister, Yun Xiao will set off tomorrow." ”
Lan Suwan's whole person lit up, looked at the young man and smiled gracefully: "Well, I'll go prepare dinner." With that, he closed the door of Zhelanju with his backhand, and walked to the kitchen in the courtyard.
The man in Tsing Yi also said, "Yun Xiao went to talk to the master." ”
Lan Suwan turned around and smiled at him and said hello, "Master Xu has something to explain to you, junior brother can accompany you first, and I will call you again during dinner." ”
Yun Xiao thought about it, as if he really remembered something, his eyes were a little complicated, and he turned to drink bamboo and walked to the bamboo house.
Ah Zi glanced at the back of the young man to the left; glanced at the back of the girl to the right, his mind lit up, and he jumped forward a few steps to entangle Lan Suwan and said: "Second Senior Sister Second Senior Sister!" Ah Zi remembers that you took out a good wine on Chinese New Year's Eve last year, is there any of it this time?? That fragrant sweet and delicious wine ~~~"
Lan Suwan was stopped by her at the door of the kitchen, and said in a stunned voice: "You are talking about peach blossom brew?"
Ah Zi's mouth opened wide, and Harazi rippled a faint light in her mouth, and nodded busily: "That's it! It's fragrant, sweet, hot and crispy! Where did the second senior sister come from?"
Lan Suwan saw her exaggerated expression, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile: "That, use the peach blossoms picked in March to dry in the shade, a pot of white wine, soak it for fifteen days, if you don't feel mellow enough, you can seal it and bury it under the peach tree, and drink it in winter, it will invigorate the blood and moisturize the skin...... Alas, where are you going?"
In the blink of an eye, the girl in purple disappeared.
In the small warm food hall on the side of the drinking bamboo house, the person in Tsing Yi pushed the door in, wiped the dining table in the hall briefly, and then lit up the four braziers in the corner with a fire fold.
The young man turned over the charcoal in the basin, and a fire sparked in it. The young man in Tsing Yi looked at the fireworks in front of him, and suddenly raised his lips and smiled lightly, and in the warm firelight, he could see the young man's glass-like eyes dancing with a shining clear light, like the moon shining like a sheng in the dark night.
"Master. Yun Xiao stood outside the door and buckled, and said respectfully: "Second Senior Sister asked Yun Xiao to have dinner with you, Ah Zi, and Second Senior Sister and leave the valley tomorrow, Xiao Er should go down." ”
The woman in the room coughed and said softly: "It's okay." ”
The next moment, the young man had already pushed the door in, holding a medicine cup and a small bowl in his hand.
The cup was steaming hot, and the bitter smell of medicine spread throughout the bedroom.
Yun Xiao turned around and closed the door, put the decoction in the bowl and brought it to the Duanmu couch: "It's still the recipe that the master prepared for the master before, and the disciple added two flavors of ephedra and licorice, which should be more bitter." ”
Duanmu frowned indifferently and shook his head slightly: "It's okay." ”
The person on the couch stretched out his hand to take it, and was about to get closer, when Huo Ran lowered his head and coughed a few more times.
The medicine bowl in her hand trembled with the woman for a while, and the soup in the bowl almost spilled on the couch.
Yun Xiao held her hand in time.
The warmth of the young man's palm touched the back of the woman's cold hand, and it became even hotter.
The man in Tsing Yi couldn't help but look at the person on the couch, and the next moment Huo Ran lowered his head and reached out to bring back the medicine bowl from the woman's hand.
"In order to prevent the master from coughing again and spilling the decoction on the couch, Xiao Er should feed the master. ”
The woman leaned on the couch, coughed and looked up, there was a trace of trance in her empty eyes, her face was pale, and she whispered weakly. “…… Well. ”
The man in Tsing Yi blew the decoction in the bowl, and slowly fed it to the woman with a small spoon, with soft eyes in his eyes.
"There was another incident in the snow ridge before, Xiao Er didn't mention it to the master...... I don't know if Master has any impressions. ”
The woman on the couch lowered her eyes in front of the small spoon handed over, and suddenly fell silent.
The young man looked at her, frowning slightly: "Master remembers." ”
"In the snowy mountains, we must have met someone. The woman's eyes looked into the distance, and her face was calm.
Yun Xiao couldn't help but think of the harmless-looking, round, lovely, young man-like man, and all the frivolous acts he had done to Duanmu in the Snow Cave.
Unconsciously, his lips tightened a little: "A group of six of them, they rescued me and my master under the mouth of the snow leopard, claiming to be a caravan of the Qiang tribe...... One of them seems to be an old acquaintance of the master. ”
Duanmu was silent when he heard this, and his face was still calm.
Yun Xiao said again: "That person ...... looks like a teenager, but his voice is very low...... He knew that Master couldn't eat meat. ”
Duanmu Huoran looked up at the young man on the side of the couch, and there was a little confusion in his eyes. "Xiao'er?"
Yun Xiao was immediately shocked, realizing that his voice was too cold and hard, revealing obvious dislike and disgust, which had been noticed by the person on the couch. I couldn't help but turn my head in a negative mood and said solemnly: "...... This person's heart is not right, and Xiao Er is extremely disliked. ”
Duanmu was also stunned for a moment, and then said, "He...... Yuan is also a disciple of Guiyun Valley, and the fourth disciple accepted by your ancestor can be regarded as your junior uncle. ”
Yun Xiao couldn't help but be surprised, and said shockedly: "People in the rivers and lakes once said that the fourth apprentice accepted by the ancestor back then was later expelled from the master's door, is this the one?!"
Duanmu said: "At that time, I was unconscious, but in fact, I only vaguely felt that it was him...... Later, because of him...... It was so close that he reached out and 'looked' at his face...... Indeed, it was him. ”
"Now that he has been expelled, he is no longer a disciple of Yunmen, let alone our uncle. The young man's voice was indifferent.
A few traces of hesitation and silence appeared in Duanmu's empty sight, and he also nodded: "His surname is Helian Mingqizhi, it doesn't matter if you call him Uncle Shi or not......" Duanmu thought of something, and said: "It's just that his biological mother is from Xiqiang, and now she acts with the Qi tribe......"
"They brought a large number of animal skins to the Central Plains to sell, but the leader was a fourteen or five-year-old girl, who seemed to have natural powers, and her name seemed to be called Labazi. ”
The woman on the couch immediately frowned: "In this way, it is not a caravan of the Qiang tribe." ”
Yun Xiao was puzzled, and there was confusion in his eyes: "How does Master know?"
Duanmu Xiaoxian's eyes dilated slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Just because 'Labazi' means 'daughter of flowers' in Qiang...... This is the name of the daughter of the Qiang tribe. ”
After a moment of silence, Duanmu said silently: "This can be explained...... Helian was born as a Qiang person, and it is more reasonable to help the Qiang people. And they deliberately concealed it, but they were afraid that the purpose of this trip was not so simple as selling goods. ”
Yun Xiao looked at Duanmu solemnly, and after a while, Fang raised a spoon and slowly fed the warm medicinal soup over.
After a long time, the young man said abruptly: "...... Master touched his face?"
