Chapter 7: Sprouting (II)
Night.
In the hut, Lin Lexuan and Lin Xiangyu soaked in wooden barrels, humming and chirping in the medicinal bath.
The other three children were in the kitchen, busy with a humble dinner.
"Fortunately, the teacher also left us some medicinal powder, otherwise we probably wouldn't have recovered next week." Lin Xiangyu rolled his eyes and said.
Lin Lexuan didn't even have the strength to roll his eyes at Lin Xiangyu, he said weakly: "You and 35 were soft enough to die, and you were still smiling at him!" He seems to have broken my bones, and I can't resist it! ”
"It's only a cowardly man like you who will give in. I'm a tough guy! ”
"May I ask if Mr. Tough Guy is still tough now? Haha......"
"The meal is good!"
At this time, Xie Wanshu interrupted the boring rambling between the two, she pulled the dining table to the medicated bath barrel, and Xie Mengqi and Lin Muhan also brought the food to the table.
The two of them struggled to sit up from the barrel, and this action touched the wound on their backs, and they breathed in the pain.
"35 is really ruthless, it actually broke three of my bones......" Lin Xiangyu broke out in a cold sweat in pain.
"You forgot about the fact that you broke six of his ribs last month?"
Xie Mengqi unceremoniously picked the key point and picked up a green vegetable.
"It's also ......" Lin Xiangyu sighed and chewed a potato sullenly.
Xie Wanshu's mood was a little low, Lin Lexuan saw her thoughts, he put down the dishes and chopsticks, and asked, "Wanshu, what's wrong with you?" ”
"If it weren't for my weakness today, you two wouldn't have been punished." The girl lowered her head, her voice a little choked.
"It's all gone."
Lin Lexuan smiled and said, "Whoever kills someone for the first time will have the same reaction as you, if you put us in your situation at that time, it may be even worse than you." ”
"yes."
Lin Xiangyu answered: "So don't think too much, eat and eat." ”
Listening to the comforting words of several people, Xie Wanshu finally raised her head, she wiped away the tears that were about to flow from her eyes, and said solemnly: "I won't do this again in the future!" ”
"We believe in you. Let's eat first, the dishes are going to be cold. ”
Lin Muhan, who had never spoken, said with a smile. And just when everyone began to move the chopsticks, he secretly glanced at Xie Mengqi out of the corner of his eye, and his thoughts returned to the time of the battle.
His opponent at the time was a difficult Wind Elemental Ability. And just when he was in a hurry, Meng Qi laid a wall of vines in front of him, helping him block a large area of incoming wind blades, and gaining a little respite. In the end, he seized the opportunity and shot an arrow through his opponent's throat.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Xie Mengqi asked suspiciously.
"Oh, I'm stunned. Eat and eat. ”
Lin Muhan turned his head silently, and his heartbeat quietly accelerated by two beats.
…………………………………………
Late at night.
Xie Wanshu sat on the rooftop of the roof, she stared blankly at the night sky, and there was a tear stain in the corner of her eye.
At this time, a voice came from behind her: "Still thinking about the afternoon?" ”
Xie Wanshu turned around, Lin Lexuan walked up to the rooftop in his pajamas, he looked at her with gentle eyes and smiled slightly.
"Did I wake you up?" She looked at him with a little embarrassment.
"No, you're walking lightly enough."
Lin Lexuan looked at the embarrassed look on her face, and hurriedly explained: "It's just that you are lying on the bed and tossing and turning, so we all know that you are not asleep." Then a few minutes after you went up, Sister Mengqi asked me to come up with you, and she said you need me now, and then I came up. ”
"So, did you just come up when Sister Mengqi asked you to come up?"
The embarrassment on Xie Wanshu's face disappeared, she pursed her lips and looked at Lin Lexuan with an unkind expression.
"No, no ......"
Lin Lexuan explained more anxiously: "I actually wanted to come up for a long time, and Xiang Yu also wanted to come up to see you, but Sister Mengqi said that you need time to be alone, so ......"
"When did you become so obedient to Sister Mengqi?" Xie Wanshu's mouth pursed even higher.
"No, no, no, how can I tell you......"
Lin Lexuan scratched his head anxiously: "It's not that I listen to her, but no, I did listen to her." But ......"
"Hahaha."
Seeing Lin Lexuan's appearance of scratching her ears and cheeks, the expression on the girl's face instantly thawed, and she laughed happily.
Lin Lexuan looked at Xie Wanshu's smile and was stunned for a while.
"I'm kidding you."
Xie Wanshu covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Mengqi still understands me, you, learn more from her." ”
"Okay, I'll learn ......from her," Lin Lexuan wiped his sweat and hurriedly said.
"Okay, I'm not going to tease you."
Xie Wanshu put away the smile on her face, she looked at Lin Lexuan and asked, "Can you sit with me?" It just rained today and the air feels so fresh at night. ”
Lin Lexuan nodded, he came to Xie Wanshu's side and sat down.
………………………………………………
Inside the house.
"Sister Mengqi, I'm going up to see how Wanshu is." Lin Xiangyu said.
"No, Lexuan is enough on it."
Looking at Lin Xiangyu's seemingly calm face, Xie Mengqi sighed secretly in her heart.
"Why?" Lin Xiangyu asked angrily.
"What she needs now is not us, but the person she really wants." Xie Mengqi explained with a wry smile.
"Aren't we her friends too?" Lin Xiangyu asked.
"Alas...... How do you want me to explain it to you? Xie Mengqi said helplessly.
"Xiang Yu, listen to Sister Mengqi."
At this time, Lin Muhan looked at Xie Mengqi tentatively, and said to Lin Xiangyu in a low voice: "I think Sister Mengqi should mean that Wanshu likes Le Xuan." ”
Listening to Lin Muhan's words, Xie Mengqi glared at him.
"Oh, that does need to leave them alone."
Hearing this, Lin Xiangyu showed an expression of sudden realization.
But Xie Mengqi looked at Lin Xiangyu's somewhat unnatural expression and sighed secretly.
………………………………………………
Rooftop.
"I don't understand, why do we kill people."
"Murder?"
Lin Lexuan didn't expect her to ask this question. He was stunned for a moment, and then replied, "Maybe it's because if we don't kill others, others will kill us." ”
"But I don't like that."
Looking at Lin Lexuan's face, the girl sighed: "Kill...... I know that a few of you, especially you, don't want me to touch this. But when you guys were in the training ground, I was worried every time. I hope that you will not be killed, but at the same time I hope that you will spare those who want to kill you. Isn't it a contradiction that I think so......"
Lin Lexuan didn't know how to answer.
"I just hope that one day, we can stop killing people."
Xie Wanshu looked at the sky full of stars, as if she was longing for something.
Lin Lexuan sat beside her and listened quietly.
"If there really is such a day, we should be happy......
After saying this, the girl leaned on Lin Lexuan's shoulder and closed her eyes.
Lin Lexuan didn't dare to move, for fear that he would wake up the girl who was leaning on his shoulder.
On the side face that Lin Lexuan couldn't see, the girl's eyelashes moved slightly, and she quietly showed a happy smile.
……………………………………
In the house, Lin Xiangyu couldn't resist the sleepiness and went back to sleep unwillingly. And Lin Muhan was sitting on the sofa, he looked at Xie Mengqi who was standing aside, as if he was stunned.
Xie Mengqi withdrew her gaze from the rooftop and asked strangely, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Lin Muhan looked at her and replied honestly, "I don't know either." ”
"You're stunned for the second time today."
Xie Mengqi glanced at him deeply and said, "I have to get up early tomorrow to train, so let's rest early." ”
"Okay."
Lin Muhan simply returned to the bedroom, and after a while, his snoring sounded in the room.
"Stinky boy."
Xie Mengqi shook her head, she returned to the bedroom, came to Lin Muhan's bedside, and wrapped his exposed feet with a quilt. After doing all this, she lay down on the bed, took one last look in the direction of the rooftop, and closed her eyes.
On the rooftop at this time, the girl was already breathing evenly on Lin Lexuan's shoulder.
Lin Lexuan looked at her delicate face, and his consciousness was gradually occupied by sleepiness. He closed his eyes and leaned against the girl.
The moonlight is falling.
The two of them who were asleep seemed to hold each other's hands in a dream.
