Chapter 40: Strange Dreams

On a cool night, in the bamboo hut, the man sitting on the edge of the bed kept wiping Qianyu's forehead and cheeks with a handkerchief, Qianyu lying on the bed had nightmares all night, sweating like rain, the man didn't sleep all night, he sat on the edge of the bed and took care of her, the sky gradually brightened, Qianyu got out of the nightmare, and fell asleep again.

When I woke up again, there was no one in the room, no movement, the medicine that had been pounded, the clothes that had been washed, and the mask that had been placed on the table.

"Mask ......?" Qianyu suddenly remembered something, wanted to see his face, his eyes turned around the room several times, but found that there was no bronze mirror in the room, Qianyu got out of bed and stroked the clothes hanging on the screen.

"I don't know what's going on in the barracks now, my uncle doesn't know that the southern army has been rerouted, if it is found late, it will affect innocent people" Qianyu was worried, pushed open the door and walked outside to breathe.

Outside the house is a fenced yard, outside the yard is a large bamboo forest, this place is quite quiet, the air is fresh, the cool breeze blows the bamboo leaves, this season is only the bamboo is still verdant and green, there is no disturbance here, there is no war, such as a fairyland, a thousand words stand quietly in the courtyard.

"You're up!" A figure flashed outside the fence, Qianyu came back to her senses, and a strange man suddenly stood in front of her.

"Who are you?" Qianyu took a step back with a little caution and kept her distance from the strange man.

"Huh? You have no conscience, I saved you, and you still ask who I am? The man was carrying a lot of things in his hands, and he put them on the stone table indignantly, and stared at Qianyu with his waist crossed.

"You......... I ......" Qianyubi was startled by his self-acquaintance, pointing at him and at himself, still with a questioning face.

"It's me" The man reached out and tore the human skin on his face, hissed, and tore off the human skin mask in front of Qianyu, restoring his original appearance.

"This is the legendary disguise technique" Qianyu was secretly surprised in his heart, he had only seen it in books before, but when he saw it today, he really lived up to his reputation.

"Why did you come out, it's late autumn, the fog is high and cold, it's not good for your injured body, go back to the house" The man dropped his human skin mask and pushed Qianyu into the house.

"By the way, you haven't told me your name yet," the man suddenly stopped Qianyu again.

"Han Xuan" Qianyu replied as she walked, and the overly long robe almost tripped her.

"My surname is wood, you can just call me wood" The man chased after him with a bunch of things.

"Wood?" Qianyu looked back and was stunned, and couldn't help but wonder if this man's current face was really himself?

"I know what you're thinking right now, are you doubting me?" Wood leaned in front of Qianyu and stared at her.

"How do you know?" Qianyu had to admit that he was right.

"Because I see it in your eyes" The wood deliberately sold off, and turned around with a grin, which felt so satisfying.

"Eyes? My eyes ........." Qianyu stroked his eyes, his eyes were dim, what else could he see in these eyes?

"Want to know? If you learn disguise from me, I'll teach you how to read other people's eyes," the wood threw out the bait and lured Qianyu.

"What can I do with the art of disguise?" The sword eyebrows were raised lightly, his eyes swept away, and Qianyu glanced at him angrily.

"As long as you learn the disguise technique, you can change your appearance to anyone, isn't it amazing?" Wood said excitedly.

"Huh? There is a little bit of "Qianyu is still in a faint tone, and he looks completely uninterested.

"Just a little? I don't believe it, you look at me" The wood turned over Qianyu's body, looking at her clear eyes seriously.

"Brother Wood, if you have to learn from you, it's not impossible, it's just that I'm injured, this ...... I'm afraid ......"

Qianyu picked up the mask on the table to put it on, in the face of such a person, it was more comfortable to put the mask on, and he always felt that he was seen through casually.

"This little wound is on me," Wood reached out and took off the mask that Qianyu was going to wear, and pointed his finger at her forehead.

"Don't wear this mask in the future" Look at the cold mask on your hand, and then look at Qianyu's slightly sickly face, the wood is full of black lines, if you just want to cover the tattoo on your forehead, you don't have to wear such an ugly mask.

"I'm used to it" Qianyu snatched the mask and glanced at the wood, this mask has been following him, at first it was like a tattoo on his forehead, he was not used to it, and gradually, he would not be used to it if he did not wear it.

The cold face of the country was hidden by the mask, and the wood was helpless, forget it, she could wear it if she wanted, perhaps, this mask made her feel safer than any disguise.

A few days later, Qianyu began to learn the art of disguise.

"Here's your clothes" Wood walked into the house with a few sets of clothes, which he had carefully selected when he went to the bazaar.

Qianyu glanced at it, frowned, shook her hands, halfway through the painting, the human skin was flowered, the wood had expected her to be like this, and she thought of it when she picked clothes, afraid that she would not be used to it, so she chose narrow sleeves and short robes, which are not much different from men's clothes, she has been very quiet these days, and she has no intention of killing herself, and the injury on her arm is almost healed.

The weather in winter is getting colder and colder, and the bamboo forest is full of white fog every day, Qianyu shoots arrows in the bamboo forest with light clothes, and sits in the fence yard with wood and drinks tea.

This is the first time Qianyu has worn women's clothing for many years, there is no wide-sleeved long skirt, no cumbersome hair accessories, and no dazzling accessories, just plain clothes and light clothes, tied sleeves, just right, the only thing I am not satisfied with is that this is a southern costume.

"Your arm is just right, don't be too anxious, as long as you are healed, I will definitely send you out" Mu Tou drank tea leisurely, not minding the murderous eyes of a thousand words.

"This damn man" Qianyu cursed in a low voice, the hand that drew the bow was trembling slightly, now she is no different from ordinary people, except that her strength is greater than ordinary people, not only can she not use the morning dragon, but even the wooden arrows that shoot out can't get out of this bamboo forest, and the former hundred steps through the poplar have become difficult to move now.

The bow and arrow in Qianyu's hand are now aimed at the wood, as long as she lets go lightly, the wooden arrow will pass through the wood's body, but this arrow shoots out, and her martial arts can't be recovered, this damn wood suppressed her martial arts with medicine last night while she was asleep, seeing that her arm is good, it's almost time to leave, but I didn't expect him to be so insidious and cunning.

"Now, I can remind you, if you kill me, your martial arts will never recover" Mu Chao Qianyu frowned, the corners of his lips raised, and what kind of smug expression can you take me.

"Pap ......" Qianyu threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and returned to the courtyard angrily, the hero does not suffer the loss in front of him, and now he obediently cooperates with him, once his martial arts are restored, he will not be spared.

Qianyu gritted his teeth, endured the murderous aura in his heart, sat down with a smile on his face, and handed tea to the wood, and just judged the two of them.

"Now, I'm telling you, it's best not to make any foolish ideas, but I'm all in my eyes" Mu took the teacup from Qianyu's hand leisurely, smiling brightly.

"You ......" Qianyu finally put away the smile that he managed to squeeze out, and reached out to grab the teacup in the hand of the wood.

"Me? What's wrong with me? Now I find that my Yushu is handsome and chic? The bright-faced wood turned around easily, avoiding Qianyu's hand, holding the teacup in his hand, and looking at her with raised eyebrows.

"This damn man obviously knows martial arts, but he puts on a weak appearance in front of me" Qianyu hurriedly retracted his hand, now his martial arts are blocked by him, and he may not be able to beat him if he wants to fight.

"It seems that you still have to suffer a little before you learn to behave" Mu suddenly looked at Qianyu seriously, and as soon as the teacup was thrown, he waved his wide sleeves.

"What? ......" Without waiting for Qianyu to react, a * pounced on her face, she took a few steps back in a daze, her body staggered, and her eyes slowly closed.

The wood dodged to her side, Qianyu's soft body just fell into his arms, he held Qianyu in one hand, standing quietly, the wind blew through the bamboo forest, his hair rose slightly, and his sleeves swayed with the wind.

"Uh-huh......" The person lying in his arms sighed, the wood looked down at her, the clear eyes, finally there was no trace of the past, clean like a newborn baby, the little face was no longer as cold as frost, he took off the mask on her face, his fingers gently slid over her jade cheeks, she looked up and smiled slightly, the cinnabar between her eyebrows became more and more gorgeous and charming.

"Tired?" Wood gently untied the hairband of Qianyu's hair, and a black and shiny hair fell down his shoulder, he gently stroked her hair, and his eyes were soft as if they were dripping water.

"Not tired, how long have I been asleep?" Qianyu smiled lightly, her little face leaned against the wood's chest, and her eyes flashed with a light that she had never seen before, like two people who had known each other for a long time.

"Soon I was standing for a while," Wood greedily took her in his arms, buried his face in her hair, and sighed faintly.

"Why are you sighing again, I don't allow you to sigh" Qianyu left Mu's arms, took his hand and put it on his cheek, and looked at him complainingly.

"There is a lantern festival tonight, let's go together" Mu hugged Qianyu tightly, looked up at the sky, rested his chin on her head, and a line of tears slipped from the corner of his eye.

On the night of early winter, the lantern festival in Fuming Village officially begins, because it is the border of the southern country, Fuming Village is surprisingly lively, surrounding a river in the village, and the avenue in the middle of the village is crowded, which is no less than the lantern festival in the city.

Qianyu pulled the wood all the way to look around, she was dazzled by the dazzling array of lanterns, and she would stop to see if there were beautiful lanterns, in the crowd, Qianyu was particularly conspicuous in a blue and purple skirt, a beautiful and simple blue and purple headdress, and a good jade pendant hung from her waist, especially, the wood was wearing a robe of the same color.

He was wearing a short sword around his waist, a crown of purple gemstones, his hair was vertically on his chest, and he was holding a blue and purple cloak in his hand.
