Chapter 257: The Best of Times

I retracted my gaze, lowered my head and whispered, "Xiao Chu, Lost Valley is different from what I thought. ”

"When I first heard the name, I thought it was a scary place."

I smiled and said with some embarrassment: "At that time, I blamed you in my heart, but I also followed you." ”

"What I didn't expect was that the scenery of Lost Valley was quiet, and the days of living here were leisurely."

I rolled my eyes and said in a low tone: "But, Xiao Chu, before we came out of Yingtian City, when I was still living in the small courtyard, I had a deep conversation with Mama Xu. ”

At this point, I raised my head to meet Xiao Chu's gaze, and I looked at his clear eyes without blinking and said, "You should understand what I mean." ”

Xiao Chu didn't speak, but looked at me quietly, as if waiting for my next sentence.

I bit my lip and said, "You have a special identity, although Mama Xu spoke around the corner and talked to me a lot of things, but after filtering, I can guess a little." ”

"So, I'm here day and night, and I always feel uneasy."

"You don't seem to be the one who stays in this kind of place all the time."

With enough courage, I finally said what I had been hiding in my heart for a long time.

Xiao Chu's deep eyes stared at me for a moment, then walked over, approached me, and raised his hand to hold me in his arms.

I pressed my head against his chest, and I could hear his steady heartbeat, and I felt his gesture of holding me tight.

"What do you want to say?" Xiao Chu whispered, the sound of breathing lingering in my ears.

He kissed me on the pinna and smiled, "If I could, I would really like to live in a place like this with you for the rest of my life." ”

He stroked my long hair, slowly combing it through his fingers, and gently stroking my back.

"Xiao Ling'er, how long we can stay here depends on Mr. Mu."

"Oh?" I raised my head and looked at Xiao Chu, puzzled. "What's the matter with him?"

"The new drugs that Mr. Mu has been working on these days are the reason why we are here and waiting."

Xiao Chu said this sentence in a flat tone, and I paused, but I panicked all of a sudden. "That new medicine is there to heal your wounds?"

With this speculation in mind, I said in a panic: "But the night before yesterday, I heard Mr. Mu take care of the matters to be paid attention to when the guards went to collect medicine, and I heard a sentence."

Xiao Chu looked down at me, raised his hand and pinched my cheek, and said softly: "Mr. Mu is sluggish, didn't you notice it when my little Ling'er heard about it?" “

He laughed, then blinked and said, "Say, how can you react like this just by saying some precautions." I must have heard something I shouldn't have heard. “

I shook my head. The worried expression on his face was not diminished at all by Xiao Chu's joke. I lowered my voice and said, "At that time, Mr. Mu said that the fruit of that grass was poisonous, and he should be careful when he picked it. "Xiao Chu," I said as I looked at him in fear, "are you hiding my most important thing?" Does it matter what the wounds on your body?" When we came, didn't Mr. Mu blame you, shouldn't you have used strong medicine to suppress your injuries? “

I changed my face and said, "Why is it that now, he actually wants to use poisonous herbs to treat your injuries?" “

"It is said that poison fights poison." "I see that your complexion hasn't improved in the past few days, is the injury getting worse again?"

After a lot of talking, I finally couldn't help but grab his arm and shed tears.

Half was worried about the injuries on his body, and the other half was scared of the weird sounds of the prescription.

Xiao Chu sighed distressedly, wiped away my tears and said, "It's nothing." Don't get cranky. "The wound is almost healed, and the medicine is also used, and the wound medicine prepared by Mr. Mu is the most effective." "As for the poisonous herb you just asked, it wasn't for me."

I breathed a sigh of relief, and still approached him with some uncertainty in my words, "Don't lie to me. "Nope. I kid you not. Xiao Chu took my hand and pressed it to his chest.

"Mr. Mu is too inattentive, how could I let my little Ling'er hear this, isn't this scaring people?"

Xiao Chu smiled and rubbed my head, trying to convert my low feelings.

I sniffed, barely managed to make a smile and said, "Who is from your family, and you haven't skimmed the eight characters yet?" ”

As soon as he said it just now, the focus was not on that, so he ignored it, and now that he heard it for the second time, he had to protest. "Didn't you have a skimming?" Xiao Chu suddenly used his hand to sneer at the badger and roast Meng Yi quietly poked and played Jun

Oops, I just cried, subconsciously turned my head to look out the window, and the next second, warm lips were imprinted on my face.

I was startled, and then struggled a few times, and Xiao Chu's kiss slowly moved down my cheek to my lips.

He kissed softly, patiently, slowly tracing my lips little by little.

He seemed to be fascinated by this way, and my body softened little by little in his kiss, forgetting to resist, and I couldn't hear the qiē around me

The long kiss ended with a sudden knock on the door, this time, it was really Mr. Mu who came to find Xiao Chu!

I hurriedly pushed him away, blushing and feeling the urge to get under the g and hide!

Xiao Chu stood up with a smile and kissed me lightly on the forehead again, and then he leaned close to my ear and whispered, "I didn't kiss my neck this time, so I don't have to worry about others seeing it." "You get out." I turned my head in embarrassment and buried my face under the covers.

Xiao Chu chuckled and patted me on the back, and walked out with his hands in his hands.

I covered my face under the covers for a few moments, and then I sat up from the g when I heard footsteps outside the room fading away.

As soon as he turned his gaze, he saw that the bowl of medicine on the table was placed in a conspicuous place by Xiao Chu.

I stretched out my hand and took it, and by this time I drank it, and it was already cold enough to be poured in one go.

After taking a big gulp of the bitter medicinal juice, he vaguely heard the voice of Xiao Chu talking to Mr. Mu under the big tree in the courtyard.

I walked to the door, put my ear on the door frame, and just wanted to hear what they had to say, when I suddenly remembered what Xiao Chu had just said to me, remembered his smiling eyes, and the three words in the corner, and suddenly felt that it was really awkward to do so.

I walked back to the window and sat down to read a book. I took a copy of the medication codex he wrote from Mr. Mu, and it was the same as what Xiao Chu read, and it took some effort to recognize the words on it.

It's hard to believe that he was able to read all the booklets written by Mr. Mu in these days, while I, who only took one of them, couldn't read two pages a day.

This time, as usual, I wrote a few particularly difficult words on the paper, but I could not read more than half a page, and the sleepiness that followed me came over me.

Fall on the g before falling asleep. I have only one thought. Tomorrow I will have to ask Mr. Mu if there are any herbs in the medicine I drink that make me sleepy. Otherwise, how can I do this every day, no, it is getting stricter and stricter every day

When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon. There was no one in the yard, I searched several wooden houses, and even searched the bamboo forest in the backyard, but I didn't see a few of them.

In the past, even if Mr. Mu and the guards went out to collect medicine, Xiao Chu would stay in the courtyard, why didn't he see anyone today?

I sat under the tree and waited, a little anxious, but fortunately it didn't take long. Outside the courtyard, there was a sound of talking on the mountain road.

Xiao Chu and Mr. Mu came in one after the other, and both of them were carrying a big bag.

"You've gone out of the mountains?" My gut reaction is this.

Xiao Chu shook his head and said, "Mr. Mu went out last night, climbed a few mountains to the nearest village to the Lost Trace Valley, and exchanged some things with the prepared medicine. ”

"I calculated that the hour was about the same, and I thought you didn't wake up so soon. So I went to pick up Mr. Mu. ”

I watched Xiao Chu put two big bags on the stone table under the big tree and opened them, in addition to the daily rice and oil, there were also a lot of pickled bacon, smoked fish and other foods.

Mr. Mu smiled: "Give you a change of taste." ”

In the evening, he cleaned up a table full of dishes, and the four of them sat around the table, and it was rare that Mr. Mu also exchanged a few pots of rice wine.

The wine brewed by the mountain people is naturally not as good as that made by Yingtian or the winery in Daye City, but it is rare to be sweet and refreshing.

Mr. Mu said: "This wine nourishes people, and it warms the stomach and refreshes the mind." ”

The three of them drank happily, I always looked at the wine on the table, in fact, in Daye City, I could also take a small sip during the Ye family's New Year, which seemed to be a very distant yesterday.

Xiao Chu heard the song and knew the elegance, he smiled slightly, rubbed my head and said, "Xiao Ling'er, only half a cup." “

I nodded happily and took a cup and poured it for myself.

This meal was a joyful meal, and it was the happiest since I arrived in Lost Valley!

With a little bit of alcohol, I asked Mr. Mu, "Is the new drug you developed about to be ready?" “

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Mu and Xiao Chu glanced at each other before responding to me: "It's almost finished." "Xiao Chu," I stood up happily, half-wrapped my arms around his neck and said, "Did you hear it, it's almost better, it's good now, don't I have to drink that bitter medicine anymore?"

I glanced at Xiao Chu in a daze, raised the wine glass in my hand and said, "This wine is better than the wine brewed in the ancient wells of Daye City!" “

I poured my glass, which was empty, and reached for the flask on the table.

Xiao Chu stood up, glanced at me helplessly, and said to Mr. Mu: "Xiao Ling'er is a little drunk, I'll take her back first." “

As soon as my body was light, Xiao Chu picked me up.

As soon as my head hit the pillow, I stretched my arms comfortably, and in a daze, I saw Xiao Chu sitting by the G and looking at me, with sentimentality in his eyes, I don't know how to be good, he will be sad.

My forehead began to get hot, it was the wine that worked, I raised my hand to touch Xiao Chu's face, my hand stretched out and was held by him and pressed to my chest, he leaned down and whispered in my ear: "Xiao Ling'er, it will be fine, just take more time"

I didn't understand what he was talking about, and I habitually fell asleep in a daze, and the last thing I remember was the kiss he left on my forehead.

Warm, pitiful kisses
