Chapter 266: Flashback Under the Moon
I looked back at Xiao Chu, and he sat there and asked me, "Since you have studied Mr. Mu's medical books, is there no cure for this sequelae?" ”
There was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, waiting for my answer.
The room was quiet, and I stood there and looked at him for a moment: "You must know that Mr. Mu is a miracle doctor, and it is not easy for him to save me." "Do you think I can do anything he can't do?"
"I didn't ask." There was a hint of loneliness in his light tone, which I didn't expect.
Infected by his affection, I was silent for a moment.
"Besides," I said with a sad bow, "if I could, my first thought would be to restore my memory." ”
"That would make me happier."
I pursed my lips and turned to go out, the courtyard was a green bamboo, but unfortunately it was late, and now at this time, the bamboo shoots are old.
I remembered Xiao Chu's evaluation of my cooking skills on the boat, and for the first time I regretted that I didn't bring the recipes left by Mr. Mu.
Xiao Chu was startled by the room that Xiao Chu had arranged for me.
From the ink painting tent on the bed to the decorations on the table, and even the dresser for girls, everything is exquisite.
I stood at the door and watched for a while before entering, feeling the luxury of this room.
Compared to this temporary dwelling, the house I live in in Lost Valley can really be regarded as a firewood house.
So, the first thing I did was lay down on that delicate bed and get a good night's sleep.
When I wake up, the body is restored, and the sun is twilight.
I opened my eyes, looked out the window, and suddenly remembered what Xiao Chu told me in the morning that he would take me to the town in the evening.
It seems that it is a habit to go out by day and night!
The person at the bottom came in with a tray, a bowl of red date porridge and a plate of mixed cold vegetables, light and refreshing.
I leaned back at the table and took small bites
The night was dark, and the sky was dark blue. A horse-drawn carriage carried the two of us to town.
It was the way down the mountain, and Xiao Chu specially instructed the coachman to slow down.
I had slept enough during the day, and now I was like a night owl.
When the mountain wind blew, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You look better." ”
Xiao Chu nodded and said, "Yes, I feel better too." ”
"This proves that my first visit as a three-legged cat doctor was a success."
I looked at him with a smile and said, "After this time, I can officially practice medicine, right?" “
Xiao Chu's eyes swept over, and he said lightly: "You often make mistakes in your judgment of yourself. "What else do you say," I didn't get angry with him, and after a moment's consideration, I said, "It will take a lot of days to go to Yingtian." Don't forget your habits. I'm probably the only doctor who can heal you along the way. “
I sat up straight. Try to make yourself look taller!
He looked at me with a smirk: "So what? “
I said slowly: "You have to think about it before you have a poisonous tongue, and I will decide the taste of the medicine at some time according to this." "A long illness becomes a cure, you know." "You threaten me?" Xiao Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at me.
He didn't speak, but looked at me with a gentle look in his eyes. The mountain wind blew, and my body trembled, and I shivered for no reason.
Clenching my elbows, I muttered in my heart and said to Xiao Chu, "Don't look at me like that, okay?" "What's wrong?" "Being looked at like this by you, I have a feeling, not very good."
Xiao Chu's eyes looked innocent. "That's a ghost in your heart."
I noticed that Xiao Chu's eyes seemed to be observing my expression.
"You're not the same as the first time you saw you."
He said suddenly.
This sentence intrigued me, and I turned to the side, turned to look at him, and said, "What's the difference?" ”
"When I met you in Guanlan Town. It feels like you're a lot like me when you're at home. ”
Xiao Chu lowered his tone and said, "To be exact, it's me who can't do anything while lying on G all day long." ”
"I can't hear anything similar."
I shook my head, not quite agreeing with him.
Xiao Chu raised his head, his eyes resting on my face.
I glanced at him and said softly, "I see what you mean, to the effect that we are all wastewood." Really? ”
Xiao Chu was noncommittal, his eyes were focused and said: "At that time, I couldn't do anything, I think there is a difference between living a day and a year, or a year and a day?" ”
"I followed you in Guanlan Town, wanting to see where a person like you would go, and as I expected, I didn't even have a home."
"You don't like what you say, I'm an orphan, is it written on my face?"
"Can't I just be here for a tour?"
"Not really."
The moonlight was cold, and Xiao Chu, who was leaning on the wall of the car, stretched his body, and his beautiful eyes were filled with some love that I couldn't understand.
He said clearly: "Small as the world, as big as loneliness." "Who said that?" I drummed in my heart, my expression froze, and then I looked up at him, grabbed his arm, and asked. "My brother, it's strange that someone like him would say this." "It's more like what someone like me should say." "What's the difference?" I tilted my head for a moment with a smile on my face, and explained, "In this world, everyone has moments of loneliness. ”
"I believe that even the emperor in the dragon chair is the same." I said slowly, in a low tone.
Xiao Chu didn't immediately agree or object, he glanced at me, thought about it, and said, "It's like being there." ”
I replied to him with a calm look.
Leaning side by side in the car, we could even hear each other's breathing, and he and I each looked sideways at the dark blue sky outside the window, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
The carriage descended the mountain road and was approaching the outskirts of the town.
"Xiao Chu," I suddenly remembered something, stretched out my arm to break the silence and asked, "You and I just arrived here yesterday, and the condition is not very good, so why did you think of taking me to town?" ”
I winked at him in confusion.
"Haven't you never been to Yingtian?" A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Chu's mouth and said, "I want you to adapt to life here first, Yingtian is several times more prosperous." ”
"You mean to say that I, a girl from the mountains, went to the city, and you were worried that I would get lost, so let me open my eyes first?"
"To be understood this way. Actually, that's right. He whispered.
"Then you will lead the way, where are you going to go first tonight?"
I'm still looking forward to his arrangement.
"I asked my subordinates, there is a night market in the town, I'll take you for a walk."
A faint smile crossed his lips, and he said calmly.
"When I arrived in Yingtian, I didn't move around as casually as I do now, and there were a lot of things that constrained me."
He explained to me in an unhurried tone.
"So follow me later, just to enjoy the rare leisure."
Looking at him through the moonlight, I nodded slightly
Visited the night market. Bought a bunch of refreshments. By the way, I also bought the smallest men's clothes at a shop.
"What are you buying this for?" Xiao Chu frowned and looked at the package in my hand.
"You ask knowingly. I just said that when it comes to Yingtian, you are too busy to be available. ”
"I'm almost half a night owl now, and I'm going out more and more at night."
I raised the package in my hand and said, "That's the reason." "It's more convenient for men to come out. At night, it's always unsafe for a girl to walk at night. “
His gaze circled over me, and suddenly he chuckled under his breath.
I was instantly annoyed by his laughter!
"You want to say I'm safe to go out, don't you?" I blushed and looked at him with my chin raised.
"That's what you said, I didn't say anything."
He walked up in front of me with his hands in his hands, leaving me with a long and beautiful back.
I stumbled a few words and followed his pace.
Walking to the big tree where the carriage was parked, and the treetops on the moon, all of a sudden, I was in a trance, and stood still.
Xiao Chu took a few steps. Seeing that I didn't follow, he turned around and stretched out his hand to take me, but hesitated for a few seconds before putting it down.
"What's wrong with you?" He took a few steps back and asked, "What are you doing?" “
"I don't know." I knocked my forehead in distress.
"Xiao Chu, have you ever been like me? That is, what do you say, what do you do, and always feel like this scene has been before? “
Xiao Chu hesitated. Said very seriously: "No." “
He reached out and touched my head, raised his eyebrows, and said, "I don't have a fever, I shouldn't be talking nonsense." "Did you just remember something?" He asked. "No, it's just that I've been having this weird feeling a lot lately, just like I told you just now."
I hadn't completely withdrawn from the trance just now, and I answered him honestly.
I lowered my head and looked at my toes: "But what Mr. Mu said when he was there, I'm already fine, I don't believe it's my hallucination." “
"If you don't understand, put it aside for the time being, and after a long time, you will naturally have an answer."
He stretched out his hand again, this time without hesitation, and led me in the direction of the carriage.
After getting in the car and settling down, I opened the bag of pastries with great interest.
I chose one of the various small snacks made by the town's time-honored restaurants.
When he was in Lost Valley, Mr. Mu was good at cooking and had a lot of tricks.
But when I make dim sum, in addition to wormwood dumplings, I have eaten only two or three in total, and this time I have the opportunity to see a wide variety of dim sum, not to mention eating, just looking at it is pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Chu noticed my happy appearance, he was also a little infected by me, and couldn't help but smile: "When it comes to Yingtian, there are better ones, so that the store here will make you happy like this." "You mentioned to me that you were going to Yingtian to deliver a letter."
After a moment's pause, he shifted the subject.
I closed the package, put away the snacks, and answered without looking up. "It only takes a day to send a letter, and then, what are your plans?" "Do you want to stay in Yingtian, or go back to the mountains?" "Xiao Ling'er?"
Suddenly, I raised my head and looked at Xiao Chu quietly.
Because this is the first time I remember that he has called me that since I met him.
For the first time.
