In the next few days, in order to take care of Yu An, Xiaotong built a bed with a mat and felt in the corner of the wall for me, and went up the mountain to help me carry a stack of medicinal scriptures. During the day, I gave Yu An decoction and change the medicine according to Yichen's instructions, and slept in the corner with my clothes when I was tired at night. After a few days of restless food and sleep, on the night of the fifth day, Yu An's fever finally subsided.

On the sixth day, when the east was slightly white, I put on my jacket and went up the mountain to get new medicine.

Comfrey, Duhuo, Angelica Angelica, Banxia, Aracea, take a certain amount, grind it into powder finely, and then boil it into a paste with sesame oil boiled over a warm fire. Finally, I took a bamboo skewer and put it in a washed mussel shell and closed it, and the plaster to remove saprophytic muscle was completed. Stretch your waist and walk out of the medicine garden, it is already noon outside. Yichen saw that I had boiled my skin and eyes blue at the bottom of the mountain in the past few days, which was really pitiful, so he left me to eat a medicinal meal. After eating, I put on the plaster, and when I went down the mountain and returned to the Xun hexagram, the sun was already hanging on the slanted pine halfway up the mountain.

The setting sun shone into the house through the window lattice, leaving crimson bands of light on the green and yellow mats. On the bed, the person who had been asleep was now sitting alone in the blood-colored afterglow, like a figurine in deep thought.

"Why are you up?" I hurried through the door.

"Why are you in Tianshu?" Yu An turned his head to look at me, as if he had just had a big old dream.

"It's too cumbersome to say, so don't talk about it. Quick, let me take a look at your wounds! I walked to the bed, reached out to untie the strap of Yu Anli's clothes, he was startled, and grabbed my hand: "What are you doing!" You're a woman, you shouldn't do such a thing. ”

I was in pain, and I pulled out my hand, and there were already a few blue and red fingerprints on the back of my hand: "You have been unconscious for the past few days, and I am the one who applied and changed the medicine for you." Is it too late for you to mention this gentleman's rule to me now? ”

"I'm ......" Yu An's eyes darkened, his ten fingers clenched into fists, and he didn't dare to move.

"Your fever has subsided last night. Yichen said that if the fever subsides, you have to change the medicine. I looked down and untied the straps around his waist and half-removed his underwear. Yu An shuddered and turned his head.

"There are still some abscesses on the wounds, and I'll have to help you clean them up before I can put on a new plaster. If you endure it, it will hurt a little. I steadied myself and tried not to look at the old wounds on his body, but only stared at the red, swollen and festering wounds on his waist and abdomen and carefully treated them.

"Why are you here? Why don't you wait for me in Yongcheng? He breathed heavily, his broad chest fell together in front of me, "Do you think I'm dead...... " he sighed for a long time, his voice so soft that it seemed to be dissipated by the wind.

"Men and women at the age of seven do not sit at the same table, do not eat together, and do not teach in person. When I met you, my fourth son and I were just eight years old. You said that day that you would return to Yongcheng to find us in seven years, but after calculating that she and I will be at the age when we can marry next year, so we plan to marry us together? I put down the bloodstained gauze in my hand and raised my eyes to look at Yu An.

In the crimson sunset, his thin, haggard face was almost bloody.

I smiled slightly, reached out to open the mussel shell containing the plaster, and carefully took some and smeared it on his wound: "If it weren't for the general who later invited me to teach me and the master, I really didn't know that I was confused back then, but I actually made a lifelong agreement with someone." In fact, you don't have to take it to heart when you sleep together. Not to mention, we were all young at the time, and even now, I don't pay attention to the defense of these men and women. It's just that if you have the heart, you will go to Yongcheng next year to marry Si'er, but the girl is holding her fingers and waiting for you for so many years. I bandaged his waist with boiled and dried fine gauze, got up and wiped my hands, and closed the shell, "The medicine has been changed, and the wound cannot see water." In two days, I'll change your dressing. ”

"The head of your family invited you to teach you and a master, since he treated you so well, why did you leave the Qin Kingdom and come here?" Yu An lowered his head and closed his clothes, his face had returned to normal.

"What about you, why didn't you go back to the Jin Kingdom? Why didn't you go to the Tianshu to be your fair and honest gentleman, but instead became an assassin who saw the light of day? I felt sorry for him and was hurt, and I couldn't help but have anger in my tone.

These words stabbed him, and when Yu An raised his head, the indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away suddenly appeared in his dark eyes.

I was stabbed in the heart by that indifference, and I realized that the person in front of me was no longer the young man who was pushed to the ground by me back then, but was still gentle and relative. His once round face had hardened from thinning, his eyebrows were raised, his eyes were gloomy, and a thin scar on his left cheek was trying to remind me of who he was at this time.

"It's me who is abrupt." I took a step back.

"Jin Kingdom, I can't go back for a long time......" The person who had been silent for a long time stared at the bronze long sword that was dyed red by the setting sun hanging on the wall, and loosened his thin lips, "Not long after I left the Qin Kingdom, I heard that all my family members who stayed in the Jin Kingdom were buried in the loess. My father was a good man, a true gentleman, but even if he gave up his life, he would not be able to save the lives of our whole family. You ask me why I don't go to the Gen Hexagram, do you know what is the biggest difference between a swordsman and an assassin? ”

"What?"

"A swordsman must have sword virtue and faithfulness, but an assassin does not need to. The only purpose of the assassin is to kill, and he can be insidious, vicious, and unscrupulous, just to be able to kill with a single blow. My enemies will not allow me to be a gentleman like my father. They are powerful and guarded, and if I want to take revenge, I must become a shadow, hiding in the night, hiding under this black garment to survive. I understand what you just said. I didn't plan to go back to you, what qualifications does a despicable Assassin have to talk about etiquette and responsibility? You're right that you don't want to marry me. Si'er, I can't mistake her. ”

"Hey, when did I ever dislike who you are? I just ......" I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know how to respond, so I had to take a deep breath and said, "Actually, I entered Tianshu because I ran away from marriage. ”

"Running away?" The indifference on Yu An's face was finally replaced by surprise.

"Yes, I ran away from marriage and ran for my life to enter Tianshu." I sighed, and told him how I was accepted as a clan girl by Wu Feng, how I got acquainted with Gongzili, how I was sent to Baili Mansion as a wife, and how I was mistaken by Heizi for red medicine and caught in Tianshu, but I carefully concealed things related to the beast-faced man.

Yu An's eyebrows frowned when he heard this, I gently pulled his sleeve, frowned and said, "Yu An, can you tell me, what is Tianshu, and who are you working for?" ”

Outside the window, the remnant sun had sunk, and on the blue-purple sky, a bright star quietly appeared.

Yu An stared at the distant and endless sky, and opened his lips and said, "Tianshu is the star in the sky, and we work hard for all those who can see it. ”
