Chapter 181: Returning to Dreams at Night
"Doctor Girl......
Shao Ji knelt beside the bathtub, holding her long black and shiny hair with water in one hand, and wiping the drops of water on the tips of her hair with a soft towel with the other.
The mist is thick, faintly revealing a pair of weak and thin shoulders to relieve worries, smooth and white and greasy, as if the spring snow is piled up, in this piece of white, but there are a few red marks that have not completely faded, as if the delicate red plum of the snow.
"What?" There was still a hint of nasal voice after crying in his tired voice, as if it was wet with water vapor, and it was heavy and difficult to penetrate the mist.
Shao Ji pulled her half-dried hair into a bun at the back of her head, poked her head over to look at her closed eyes worriedly, and asked hesitantly, "Doctor girl...... Are you alright? ”
Although all the blood stains and mud on Xie Wu's face have been washed away, a pair of eye sockets are red and swollen after all, the wet long eyelashes stick to the eyelids, and a small face is thin and sharpened, which is really pitiful.
"It's okay." Xie Wei slowly breathed a sigh of relief, sank into the warm bath soup a little, let the water not reach the tip of the chin, steamed the upper cheeks with Peilan's fragrant water vapor, and then gradually condensed into water droplets on the cold cheeks, and the tears in the corners of the eyes converged, along the jaw and neck, all the way through the chest lock, and merged into the water, rippling with the slightest ripples.
Shao Ji wanted to speak and rest, she naturally could see that she was in a very low mood, but she had no way to persuade anything, there was medical skills and scheming to solve her worries, if even she couldn't find a solution, with her stubborn and cowardly nature, she naturally couldn't share her worries.
"It doesn't matter." Xie Wu suddenly stood up in the bathtub, and the silver-white water splashed down from her body one after another, splashing countless ripples like broken jade, and a few orchid leaves stained her chest, like jade.
Shao Ji glanced at the graceful and petite body in front of him, blushed, and turned his head.
It's not that she's worried and shy now, but she's a little ashamed.
Xie was worried about things in his heart, and he was not in the mood to care about these, so he pulled a soft towel and draped it on his body. Quickly left the bathtub with a string of water droplets, wiped his body, and quickly changed into his middle coat, and then smiled sideways at Shao Ji. "Worry about your own ......"
She couldn't help but laugh at herself, she really had no choice but to wait and see what happened, as long as the situation changed slightly, she should be able to seize that opportunity.
This is her last resort. That's all there is to it.
…………
A rare tranquility in the Waisha Temple.
After Jing Xuan sent her worries back, she only ordered someone to prepare water to bathe her, and she couldn't wait for her to finish bathing, and the person was already gone.
Xie Wei leaned on a thin quilt, unfolding the silk book copied today, but his eyes fell on the distance emptyly, quietly out of his mind.
"Doctor Girl......
Shao Ji boiled tea and brought it to him, only to find that Xie Wu had fallen asleep on the quilt and pillow behind him, and put the tea bowl on the table beside him. Lightly fetched another blanket and covered her.
It is inevitable to move her a little, her petite body is extremely light, and her wrists are so thin that they seem to be broken, thinking that she has suffered so many grievances these days and lost a lot of weight.
…………
It was quiet and dark.
Xie Wei sat up in confusion, groping in the darkness with a faint light.
There was a "click", and a door opened gently at an angle.
"Huh?" Relieve worries and raise your eyes. Some worried eyes widened suddenly, and they looked at the night scene in front of them in surprise.
The tall buildings, the glowing lights, are more brilliant than the stars in the sky.
Relief was in the blink of an eye. Reaching out and carefully touching the door frame, he covered his eyes slightly, "It's a dream, right......?" ”
It should be a dream, she has been dead in this world for nearly ten years, and she has never been able to come back except for a few ethereal dreams occasionally.
And this scene in front of you. In her previous life, it was just a dream......
Looking up at the dark blue sky, the stars on the night emitted a silver light, looking for the past along the familiar position, sure enough, there was a Beidou hanging in the night sky, and the spoon handle pointed straight to the South Pole Star, and the glow shimmered.
"Nandou...... Where is Nandou? Xie muttered to himself, stubbornly looking for the six stars of the Southern Dipper.
But no matter how you look for it, the six stars of the Southern Dipper can't be seen.
Because the position of the Southern Dipper is very low, in the south, she can only be seen near the horizon, and she is in the downtown area of high-rise buildings, and she has not seen the horizon for many years, so naturally there is no way to find this Southern Dipper.
Xie Wei leaned on the metal railing and looked up at the shimmering stars in the sky.
The cool night breeze blew the clothes belt, and the wind was quiet, as if someone was whispering in the ear.
"Watching the Beidou at night is cold at night, and the night is dull and unsightly. When the flat star falls, how can it be like planting an orchid in the empty valley? ”
She still remembers that in the tense high school days, she and her friends couldn't sleep at night, often standing in the corridor on this high-rise building, improvised some short poems that she didn't know the meaning of.
"The rain falls in the deep pool at night in Xiaoxiang, and the wine is more hearty after getting drunk. Smiled and asked the smoke and condensation, Lan Zhou turned to Tiannan. ”
The girl's crisp voice seemed to be still swirling and rippling in the night breeze for a long time.
"Returning to the crow at dusk, who is the cold feather into at a flick? There are few guests in the twilight, and they step into a lonely nest full of falling flowers. ”
The short poems in her memory, sentence after sentence, seemed to call her back.
…………
When Xie Wei opened his eyes, it was also pitch black.
But she heard the sound of dripping in the copper kettle, and it was beating and beating, overlapping and dense, as if it was knocking on her heart.
That's where she lives now.
The night is late, there are no electric lights in ancient times, and there is no entertainment such as television, and lamp oil and candles are not a flood thing, except for those who are in a hurry at night, they generally will not be used.
Nine o'clock in the night is "people's determination", which means that in the dead of night, when people go to bed.
The Huaisha courtyard was very leisurely, there was almost no business, and the maids and servants naturally rested early.
Xie Wu turned over and hugged the quilt, but he couldn't sleep.
As soon as he turned over and sat up, he put on a coat, and groped to the side of the table, but the tea that Shao Ji had just poured had not yet been collected.
The tea was already cold, but she didn't care, she took it up and drank half a bowl, pursed her lips and sighed, "Let's drink it, the ghost fire is full of cups......"
If there really is an underworld, why doesn't she go for a walk, why doesn't she drink the Lethe water that reverses her memory? She would rather not remember the events of her past life now.
This life is a life of drifting loneliness, and then entangled in the memories of the previous life, it really drives her crazy.
The bitter tea slowly soothed her mind, took a deep breath, turned the screen barefoot, removed the bamboo door, stepped lightly into the bamboo corridor, and raised her eyes to look at the night stars.
The sky is clear and the stars are shining, but it is better than in a dream.
