Twenty-nine: Tickle warmth
When he woke up again, he was still in the original tree hole, and the wounds on his body were bandaged. There was a fire near the cave, and the girl was carrying a bundle of firewood back to the fire with her long hair up.
Seeing him wake up, the girl's eyes lit up instantly, threw firewood, and ran over. "You're awake! How does it feel? Does it hurt badly? What else is uncomfortable? Is the wound still bleeding? He Ge asked a series of questions, and without waiting for Ke to answer, he looked at himself again, "I'm sorry, it's me who has bothered you, and I blame me for being too willful." I'll listen to whatever you say in the future. ”
Ke stroked his arm and sat up slowly. Looking at He Ge's somewhat flushed face, there was still a little vanity in his voice: "I'm fine, you don't have to blame yourself." As he spoke, he raised his eyes and glanced around, there was nothing else in the mountains and forests except the silver glow of the moonlight, the night was dark and deep, and the mountains in the distance were all pitch black, standing quietly. From this moment to midday, it is late at night, and there are often wild beasts in the deep forests of Heming Mountain, so we still take refuge here for a while, and then find a way back when it is dawn. ”
He Ge nodded obediently, carefully examined the wound wrapped around Ke's body, and used thick fallen leaves to pad the edge of the cave to make Ke more comfortable. He sat down by the fire and added firewood. The two were relatively silent for a moment.
Ke lost too much blood, his face was still pale, he closed his eyes and rested for a while, slowly adjusting to the pain on his body.
At such a moment of crisis, why should this girl let me go? Ke opened his eyes, and his gaze fell on Hege's body.
The occasional crackling sound of firewood in the burning fire, and one or two insects chirping around it, made the night more and more silent. He Ge sat by the fire, his hands on his cheeks, his tired eyes fixed on the jumping firelight, slightly sluggish. There were wounds and blood stains on his hands and legs. In order to bandage his wounds, the originally floor-length dress was torn long and short, and she looked a little embarrassed. When the light of the fire was a little dim, she reached out and picked up a branch to make the fire stronger, and moved herself to bring her closer to the fire.
"How are you hurt?" Ke heard his own inquiry.
He Ge turned his face and shook his head, "It's out of the way." Although she was slightly injured, she was a woman after all, and she was frightened and tired of running for her life. At this moment, his face was completely bloodless, and his strength to speak was also weak. "How are you, is the wound on your arm still bleeding?"
Ke looked down at the wound on his arm, although it was simple, it was very carefully bandaged, not loose or tight. "The bleeding should have stopped."
He Ge's expression relaxed a little, "Just stop, or this barren mountain and wilderness, I really don't know what to do." You need to rest more now, and I'll call you when the morning dawns. ”
Obviously I am already so powerless, why did you stubbornly ask me to let go just now? Isn't it human instinct to survive?
"In that case, why do you want me to let go?" Ke would love to hear Hege's answer.
He Ge was stunned for a moment, "You are already in danger to save me, knowing that the two of you may not be able to escape, why don't I let go?" Let go, maybe you can still live. ”
"What about yourself?"
He Ge turned his face back, pursed his lips, and was silent for a moment: "Because that person is you." So, I'm willing to let go. ”
At that moment, he obviously held back a lot of words and wanted to tell him, but now he can't even organize a complete sentence, and he doesn't know if he can understand it if he says it so vaguely? He Ge tugged at the corners of his clothes, a little annoyed and a little apprehensive.
Ke didn't care about these small actions of her, but her words really surprised Ke: she was willing to give up herself to protect me, except for my mother, I thought there would never be a second person in this world. This girl didn't just think so, she did. If she really let go just now, I'm afraid she would no longer be there. can even ignore life and death, her mind is actually like this!
In Ke's eyes, for the first time, he only saw her clearly.
At night, the wind rises on Heming Mountain, and the coolness is gusting. Hege's clothes were thin, and he was running for his life just now, sweating a lot, and there was a bit of a fight when the wind blew.
"Is it cold?" Ke asked.
He Ge tilted his head, sniffled, and nodded, "Hmm." "The voice is small, soft.
After a short period of silence, Ke suddenly stretched out his hand and said slowly, "Come here." ”
He Ge looked blankly at the hand that was stretched out to him. The long-faced jade-faced boy leaned sideways, and the silver moonlight hit his face, outlining a hazy face. The azure caftan was covered with a moon-white gauze coat, and the cuffs and neckline were embroidered with dark lines of lotus leaves of the same color. The long hair was like ink, a pair of apricot eyes were slightly squinted, and he didn't notice that the neckline was spread out when he was exhausted, revealing a small piece of pink collarbone.
"Didn't you hear? I called you over. Ke stretched out one hand to Hege, and patted the empty space in front of him with the other. If you have a cold, won't you let me carry you out of the mountain tomorrow? ”
He Ge only felt that the eyebrow bone was jumping suddenly.
Ke followed her stunned gaze, looked down and saw his loose collar, and was also a little embarrassed. He pulled the placket of his shirt and covered himself tightly.
He Ge turned his head stiffly, and coughed lightly twice to resolve the embarrassment, "No, no need, I'm not that cold, just roast the fire." You have so many injuries on your body, it won't be good if I touch you again. Let me stay here. ”
Ke looked at her while biting her lower lip, twisting the corners of her clothes, her eyes hesitated but she didn't dare to look at it at all, she hadn't noticed it before, she was actually quite funny when she was shy.
Well, I'll spoil her one more time.
"You?" Suddenly held by a warm hand, He Ge exclaimed in a low voice, but said nothing else, just obediently followed him.
Ke put his arm around Hege's shoulders and shrunk her whole body into his arms. He Ge was stunned, his body was even more stiff, and he didn't dare to move. Ke's breath sprayed on Hege's neck, making her itch very much. But he didn't dare to move because of this embarrassing position.
However, this embrace is indeed much warmer. He Ge lay down comfortably, and gradually became confused, and couldn't help but arch his head comfortably in Ke's arm.
"Is it still cold?" Ke shrunk his arms and hugged He Ge tighter. His mouth was close to Hege's ear, and the breath of every word rubbed Hege's ear.
He Ge half-squinted his eyes and replied vaguely: "It's not cold, it's very comfortable." He arched in Ke's arm again. Remembering his wound in his heart, he hurriedly moved himself out again, and asked carefully, "Did I hurt you just now?" ”
"It's already a matter of time." Ke said shallowly, only to feel like holding a docile kitten in his arms, naughty left arch, right rubbing, soft hair with a faint fragrance, rubbing on the chest, a little itchy.
"When I get back, I'll make you pigeon soup, and the pigeon meat is the most wounded. What else do you want to eat, what do you want, just tell me and wrap it on me. The more He Ge spoke, the more excited she became, and she made a lot of promises to Ke, and she couldn't wait to cover everything she thought of, so as to express her gratitude to Ke for rescuing her again. The big blinking eyes were full of sparkling brilliance.
The deep mountains and forests are quiet, and the golden flames are jumping in front of you, reflecting the red all around. The little man in his arms is warm and soft, and the jade flour is delicate. Listening to her cross-fingers, the same serious and serious promises, although all the trivialities of life, gave his heart a rare sense of comfort. For the first time in a long time, this is the first time.
For as long as he can remember, all he heard every day was all sorts of calculations. Gradually, he became numb, and he decided in his heart that this was the law of survival in this world. He has always been cautious and cautious everywhere, and life in him is a confrontation day after day, swords and swords. He never let down his guard, let go of his past doubts, and even so, he still lost a lot. In fact, the failure back then was not because of him, but because his mother was framed for infidelity, which caused him to be implicated. But Ke felt that the reason why this happened was because he was not careful enough to do things. Since then, I have been more careful, and everything must be carefully planned. Therefore, in the past ten years, I have actually lived a very tiring life.
"When I heard you talk about eating, I suddenly remembered that when I was a child, my mother used to make me lily porridge to drink, and I haven't tasted that taste for many years." Ke's voice was low and hoarse. The word mother, he has been hiding in his heart for many years. When he said it, he even turned it out with all the things from many years ago, and his heart was sore for a while. There were two shudders at the end of the sentence.
This was the first time Hege had heard Ke talk about his mother. Since coming to the library, Ke has been alone, without family, and his friends are only himself and Zhong Hao. She was once very curious about Ke's past, but since he didn't want to mention it, she was too embarrassed to get to the bottom of it. This time, he actually took the initiative to talk about his mother, which was very surprising. His tone was so sad and helpless, and the lotus song he introduced was also distressed.
He Ge stretched out his hand and gently took Ke's hand, and softly comforted: "Lily porridge, I'll make it for you." Although I don't make much porridge and rice, I should be fine if I learn it. You taste it first, what's wrong, you tell me, I'll improve it, okay? ”
Ke Cong nodded kindly, with a faint smile on his face, "Okay, you make it for me." ”
"Don't worry, what I say will count. Why don't we pull the hook? ”
Hook? Ke felt that this was very childish, if this could make the promise unbreakable, then things in this world would be simple.
"Okay." Even though the act of pulling the hook seemed a little silly to him, he still reached out and hooked Hege's hand.
The bright moon was in the west, and the sound of insects was weakened. The woods were very quiet. He Ge closed his eyes in Ke's warm arms and fell asleep.
The girl in her arms gradually fell asleep, Ke raised her hand and combed her sleeping forehead. She's really good-looking, no, it's supposed to be beautiful.
Since she came to the library, although she was jerky and shy at first, she was not coquettish and pretentious, she did everything herself, and she could take care of all the big and small affairs very properly, and she didn't actually owe him anything in repaying her kindness. Zhong Hao once said that she was "pure-minded", and now it is very appropriate to think about it.
Calm down and think about it at this moment, just at the moment when the beast pounced, he pushed her away, it didn't seem to be all for that reason, even if there was no her, he could find it again. What's wrong with yourself who has always chosen to be alone? It seemed instinctive to rush up to protect her. Ke tried his best to find another reason, but he was shocked into a cold sweat.
Snowy nights, spring days? Is it the idle whisper under the shadow of the flowers, or is it accompanied by the pen and grinding? At what moment did you get tempted? This was not what he had envisioned.
The appearance of Hege seems to be the will of heaven, and he wants to exchange her for another girl's life. Although this is unfair to Hege, when has fate been fair to whom? But these are all floating opportunities, and they are beyond reproach. If there is no catastrophe today, everything will go according to plan.
No, I eased my mind, closed my eyes and frowned, and no longer looked at Hege, a sense of "love", the most important thing is to eat my heart and consume my will. Since he absconded from Mo Lan, he told himself that every day and every moment in the future, he would live for revenge and reset. He carefully designed every step, and every move he made had to bring himself one step closer to the reset.
Back then, they valued the financial resources of the Song Mansion in Duancheng, and Gu Jingyan sent Wan Kui to pretend to be robbers to attack Zhong Hao's caravan, so that Ke had the opportunity to come to the rescue, so it was logical to get acquainted with Song Zhonghao, the future heir of the Song family. Relying on the help of this Song Gongzi, he can escape the world in Duancheng so safely and smoothly. Over the years, the Song family's nature as a businessman has helped him do a lot of things for Ke to use carefully. Therefore, although Ke is commensurate with Zhong Hao's friend, he is just a pawn in Ke's hand. And until now, everything has been carried out according to his plan. He has already given so much, and he must not fall short, let alone lose the king's heart.
