The twilight in the mountains spreads out from the sky like splashed ink spots.

Waisha-in is also quiet again, with dim lights on, and the promenade is half immersed in night, half shrouded in orange light.

In the half-light and half-darkness, a slender young man stood silently at the foot of the steps, like a withered bamboo.

The bamboo door slowly moved open, and the light in the room floated with the two white shadows, until it faded into the porch.

The boy saw the doctor who was cleaning the wounds of his companion during the day, holding a lamp in his hand, and was leaning sideways to talk to the person next to him.

She was dressed in white, and her slender figure was outlined by the heavy edges, like a wild crane resting quietly.

"It's you." Xie Wei realized that someone was looking at him, turned his eyes, looked at the young man under the tree who was forced to calm himself, and smiled lightly, "Haven't slept yet?" ”

The young man nodded, and stepped forward with hesitant steps, "What about the Euonymus injury?" ”

He is not scared, but he is extremely wary of doctors, and he can vaguely feel that this ordinary-looking doctor hides secrets similar to himself.

"Dangerous." relieved his worries and raised his eyebrows, and lightly persuaded him, "Death and life are destiny, and sorrow is in vain." ”

He glanced at the young man in front of him again, he had just bathed, changed into the ragged and muddy clothes on his body, a clean and coarse linen clothes, and the wide and cut clothes seemed to hang on his thin and dry body.

The boy was born with a delicate face, a slightly tanned complexion, and the color of unbleached linen, except that he was too thin, except that his hair was intertwined and knotted at his shoulders, which made him look inexplicably sloppy.

Xie Wei smiled vaguely, the boy didn't seem to be able to take care of himself.

"Brother......" Xie looked back, and the words he wanted to say were hidden in his eyes, and when he saw the doctor, he nodded and took the young man's hand with a smile, "Come with your worries." ”

The boy felt the warmth of her palm, was stunned for a moment, and staggered a little as he followed her through the courtyard and into the opposite side porch.

Xie Wu let go of his hand, took off his silk shoes, and hurriedly turned around and entered the house.

Yi Shen kept watching her enter the house, the smile on the corner of his lips was gone, and he turned his eyes to look at the young man who was a little at a loss, and his warm voice sounded, "Jian Wei is seriously injured and needs to recuperate, and he must not see the sun or be disturbed by others." Many of the houses in the courtyard are vacant, so the teenagers can live here. ”

The boy nodded, not saying a word.

The light fragrance of the magnolia became clearer and clearer in the night, and the halo of water permeated the clothes, staining the clothes of the people in the corridor.

After a moment's wait, the sound of her delicate footsteps entered the porch, and then her petite figure leaned out of the doorway, carrying a small bone grate in one hand and a narrow hairband on the other.

The boy looked at her puzzled.

Xie Wei tilted his head, motioned for the young man to sit down, and knelt down behind him, his body straightened, and the bone grate was held in his palm.

"Wait." The young man understood her intentions this time, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid her, his big black and white eyes flickering faintly, as if he had a bitter word.

"It doesn't matter." Xie Wei shook his head, "Migrating to the mountains, it is inevitable to be contaminated with lice and fleas." ”

Not to mention the fleeing homeless people, even ordinary farmers, it is inevitable to be contaminated with some parasites, if she does not know that the young man is infected with head lice, why take out the bone grate with fine tooth marks?

The young man lowered his eyes, his voice trembled slightly, with a humble meaning, "I'm afraid that the doctor will contaminate his ears." ”

"It doesn't matter." Xie is still smiling, she is wearing deworming drugs on her body, so she naturally won't worry about these.

The boy hesitated for a moment, but still sat back, his back straight, like a man's back.

His nervous appearance will relieve his worries and smile, his palm gently rubs the bone grate, and when he relaxes a little, he pulls up a lock of hair and slowly combs the grate.

In the faint fragrance of the mountain magnolia, the young man seemed to smell a wisp of elegant bluegrass breath, which rippled around him with the movements of the person behind him.

Yi Shen had already entered the house and sorted out the broken slips sent by Jing Xuan.

It took half an hour to finish the young man's messy hair, tie it gently on his shoulders with a hairband, and chuckle lightly, "It's late at night." ”

Without waiting for him to answer, Xie Wei slowly got up and turned around to leave.

The young man looked at her slender back and said almost inaudibly, "The two of you share a room? ”

“…… What does that mean? Xie looked back, and a strand of loose hair on her sideburns covered a crescent-shaped shadow on her cheeks, hiding the look of surprise in her eyes.

"Nothing." The boy shook his head.

He wasn't sure, but vaguely felt that the healer was a woman, her light steps, the soft strength of her hands, and the nice smell of Lanze on her body.

But if it was really a woman, would she have such a calm look and such superb medical skills? How could a woman as clean and elegant as she should take care of such a filthy victim as herself?

He couldn't find an answer.

Xie Xie slowly walked into the house.

The small silk shoes left in the door were only three inches long, and the night in mid-spring was still a little cool, and she stepped barefoot on the bamboo and wood floor, leaving white footprints made of water droplets, which quickly disappeared.

With the swaying shadow of the lamp, she loosened her silk, her black hair was draped around her waist, and the water brushed her face, washing away the disfigurement on her face, revealing a slightly pale and beautiful complexion.

Recalling the events of the day, his teeth gently knocked his upper and lower lips, and cold sweat broke out in his hands, "Brother......"

She slowly understood why Yi Shen had concealed it from her in the first place, and why he had asked to come with her—the situation here was far more complicated than she thought.

Even the boy could suspect her identity, what a terrible thing that was?

When the young man asked that, she only felt a chill all over her body.

"Ahh Yi Shen raised his head from the pile of broken notes, his comforting gaze fell on her staring brow, and then he got up in front of her and stroked her slightly cool forehead.

Xie Wei closed his eyes and calmed down for a while, and when he opened his eyes again, he flattened his mood, raised his eyes and smiled, "The night is as cool as water......

Her gaffe was only for a moment.

But in that moment, she understood a lot of things, the previous five years of leisure were completely over, and every day after that would be like being on the edge of the abyss, walking on thin ice, trying to hide her identity all the time.

On the afternoon of the second day, Jing Xuan found relief in a bamboo forest in the shade of the courtyard, a few strands of hair stuck to her sideburns, and her face became smaller and smaller.

She changed into a narrow-sleeved shirt and buried her hands in the dense grass, not afraid of encountering insects and snakes.

Jing Xuan saw that she was dedicated to this, and only stood in the distance, and did not come forward to disturb.

As if she had found something, she picked up a stalk of an uncommon creeping plant, dug it out with the small shovel she carried with her, and patted away the moist soil stained by the roots.

Jing Xuan found that although the stems of this plant were extremely thin, the roots under it were unusually thick, and there seemed to be more than ten clusters in one place, each of which was the thickness of the knuckles, shaped like lotus roots.

Xie Wei smiled with satisfaction, turned around and found Jing Xuan, and his smile gradually closed, "What's the matter with the mound?" ”
