4. Half-asleep and half-awake

Itchy ears and nostrils.

Zhu Tong woke up after being harassed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Ye Er's delicate face full of happiness.

Outside the window, the sun was half-setting, and I raised my wrist to look at the brand-new couple's watch: half past four.

Zhu Tong stretched his limbs comfortably, outside the window, the ticking sound of melting snow and the sound of hammering clothes on the Tuojiang River gradually came, and the sun shone on his body, warm.

The little liar seems to feel for the first time the goodness of life, with ease; Obsessively looking at the girl who brought such a feeling.,Experienced.,Intoxicated.。

"You smell so good." Ye Er sat beside Zhu Tong, her big black eyes flashing with joy: "Grandma Chen has made a big pot of blood rake ducks, get up quickly." ”

Zhu Tong stared at the long eyelashes, held Ye'er's hand, and rubbed it a few times: "Last night, there was a heavy snowstorm, and the beauty fell asleep; Ye'er, thank you. ”

"I'm the one who should say thank you." Ye Er looked at Zhu Tong and couldn't help but lie on his chest.

The two of them just hugged each other quietly, feeling each other's heartbeats, and time rustled and passed silently.

Mei Lanting's voice sounded outside the door: "I knew that you couldn't call him soon, Ye'er, hurry up, Grandma Chen is going to scold you." ”

Grandma Chen specially cooked this meal for Ye'er, and Zhu Tong was completely stained with Ye'er's face, so that she could sit in the foyer and chew at this time.

Grandma Chen sewed needlework and scolded Ye'er softly: "You can eat it yourself, don't keep clipping it for him; Are Dr. Lee's chopsticks shorter? ”

The kind-hearted old man made no secret of his preference for Ye'er, and it seemed that there was no man in the world who matched Ye'er; Zhu Tong was used to being hit, and he looked at Ye Er and smiled, not feeling embarrassed at all.

"At noon, Huang Hai came and took his luggage away." Mei Lanting said faintly, she didn't look at Zhu Tong or Ye'er; "Grandma Chen scolded him, and Huang Hai asked Ye'er to go to the bar at night."

Ye Er looked at Zhu Tong and seemed to be asking for his opinion; Zhu Tong nodded: "You should go, Huanghai is better to you than your brother; I think he'll be better for you in the future. ”

Huang Hai also knew that it was not suitable to continue to live here, and it was impossible to bring in Huahua to openly "fool around", which would exceed the bottom line of the two old men, and Grandma Chen would use some kind of tool to beat them out.

A long time ago, Phoenix City was originally a garrison city, although there were mostly Miao people around, the people living in the city were Han people; The so-called 7,000 inhabitants and 6,000 soldiers, the soldiers at the front fight, and the women at home are the most conservative; The preservation of tradition in the folk customs is far superior to that of the outside world, and perhaps this is the beauty of it.

Zhu Tong thought about the Yellow Sea and the flowers, and his respect for the old man came spontaneously, Grandma Chen's family inn was more like a home, no wonder Ye'er was like this, even the Yellow Sea felt shameless to face the two old men; Although, he did not infringe on any of Grandma Chen's interests.

It's just that Zhu Tong is a little puzzled that Mei Lanting is still not leaving, the bamboo Taoist priest is injured and returns to the mountain, is Ma Ye letting her follow him? What the hell is going on?

After eating, Ye Er went in the back to help Grandma Chen clean up, and Zhu Tong asked Mei Lanting: "When are you leaving?" ”

Mei Lanting was still retouching the painting made for Grandma Chen, and said without raising her head: "Think I'm an eyesore?" I wish you brother, I will not hinder you from doing anything; Grandpa has accepted Miss Su as a disciple, and he will go back to Suzhou directly. I'll go back with you Ye'er, I wish you senior brother, do you still have a choice now? Hum! Come back to Shanghai with me, you'll have a lot of money. ”

Zhu Tong pouted: "I never believed that pies would fall from the sky." ”

"You'd better believe that a big pie is going to fall on you right away. On the rivers and lakes, only you have this luck. Mei Lanting's tone was not temptation at all, but more like a threat.

It's getting dark again, and the Gu worms in Ye'er's body are about to attack again, and after entering Xiangxi, the Gu worms are getting more and more powerful; Without Zhu Tong's dog skin plaster to deter it, Ye'er would have suffered more.

On the bed of the inn, Ye Er was lying on her back, her fleece sweater and underwear were lifted; Zhu Tong used the divine amber given by Aunt Butterfly to gently crush and turn around on Ye'er's snow-white abdomen.

The same guest room, due to the stay of two girls, naturally has a soft feminine atmosphere.

Zhu Tong closed his eyes with the help of the divine transmission of amber and observed that the Gu worms in Ye'er's body were spiritual, and they had already sensed the danger and shrunk into a ball.

Amber was indeed a spiritual object, and Zhu Tong could feel the yellow light emanating from within it, peeling off the black mist around the Gu worm little by little. This time, Zhu Tong finally determined the location of the Gu worm, and it was hidden in Ye'er's womb.

The butterfly god in the divine rumber has already left, and its aura has also been greatly reduced, and the lethality of the Gu insects in Ye'er's body is very weak, Zhu Tong estimates that this process will take several months.

Zhu Tong took off a red rope from Ye'er's neck, withdrew his hand, and removed the dog skin plaster attached to Ye'er's abdomen: "Get up, it can't hurt you anymore." ”

Ye Er sat up with a red face, lowered her head to arrange her clothes, and didn't dare to look at Zhu Tong.

"What kind of treasure is this, so powerful?" Mei Lanting took the amber curiously and looked at the light, but he couldn't see anything after all.

Ye Eryu tied a delicate jade Buddha under the red rope around her neck, Zhu Tong untied the jade Buddha, tied the amber, and hung it on Ye Er's neck: "The jade Buddha can't bless you, this piece of amber can bless you; Ye'er, if it's there, you'll be fine. ”

"Is it going to take a long time?" Ye Er stroked the amber in her heart.

"No, three months should be fine; This piece of amber should not be shown easily, it is the flower mother's thing, and it should be returned to others when it is used up. Zhu Tong wanted to tell Ye'er not to let men get close to her again, feeling a bit of a ghost shouting and catching ghosts, hehe smiled and said: "Amber is also a good thing to raise people, it will bring you luck." Start writing? Practicing the word 'Spirit' will also bless you. ”

"I wrote it." Ye Er pointed to the table; "Every time I can't write a few, my head will be dizzy, Li thought, why?"

"If you can't write, write a few less, don't be too tired." Zhu Tong knew what it was like, he was tortured to death when he was a child; Ye'er doesn't have Peng Magong's protection, the little liar is distressed, there is a god to pass on Amber and himself, Ye'er doesn't need to suffer such a crime.

"It's so distressing, no wonder Ye'er is infatuated with you." Mei Lanting adjusted the salary sentence and pushed Zhu Tong out: "We have to change our clothes and go to the bar to drink, and you also go to change your clothes." I really want to see the flower that made Officer Huang unconscious as soon as possible, is it more beautiful than Ye'er? ”

An hour later, Mei Lanting finally saw a flower, looked at it with wide eyes, nodded to Huang Hai and said, "You are a lucky guy. ”

Today is the weekend, due to the snow, many young people in Guangdong and Guangxi specially went to Phoenix to see the snow, and the bar by the Tuojiang River has regained its vitality, and this bar facing rock jumping is even more business-hot.

Even if there are many southern beauties here, compared to the leaves and flowers, they have all become green leaves, and even Mei Lanting only said a few words and ran down to put the river lanterns. Smart women know that beauty is the most afraid of contrast, so soon there will be less than half of the female customers in the bar.

And the men's eyes are like knives and hooks, one is to hack Huang Hai and Zhu Tong to death, two happy kinds, and the other is to hook the clothes on the two beauties, Ye Er and Hua Hua.

Ye Er and Huang Hai looked at each other, and the complexity inside made Zhu Tong dizzy, after all, they had gone through their youth together.

"You talk, I'll go over there with Blossom. No drinking, no crying. The waiter still remembered Zhu Tong, a high-roller, and saw him standing up with a flower, his eyes swept away, and he hurriedly stepped forward to find an empty platform for him.

"Happiness, huh?" Huahua was amused by Zhu Tong's words, and nodded with a blushing face.

"Do you see that? The relationship between them is deep, and you have to watch your Officer Huang closely. ”

"As long as he likes me, I won't leave; One day he doesn't want me anymore, so I'll come back as a tour guide, maybe back to the Butterfly Cave. ”

The innocence of the flower made Zhu Tong feel distressed, and after the waiter sent it to Longjing, he poured a cup for her.

"I'm stupid, am I? I told Brother Hai last night that all I need to do is give me a place to live when I go to Shanghai. I heard that Shanghai is very big, with a lot of people, a lot of cars, and a lot of roads. I don't like crowded places; I said, "I'll wait in the house obediently." Big brother, is the sea beautiful? I would like to live somewhere where I can see the sea. That way, I can go to the beach and sing. ”

Zhu Tong drank tea, but he couldn't taste the taste inside; The love of flowers for the Yellow Sea is unconditional, but Shanghai is the most practical city.

The flowers in the greenhouse cannot withstand the wind and rain, and people like Duohua have almost no chance of surviving in Shanghai.

"What does the Yellow Sea say?"

"Brother Hai said, let me go to school first when I come to Shanghai; He said I was fit to be a nurse and told me to go to nursing school. Brother Li, you are a doctor, is it difficult for nurses to do their homework? ”

There is something wrong with the Yellow Sea, Zhu Tong was almost scalded by tea.

Huang Hai has friends in the Ocean Hospital, and it seems that he still has some status; Zhu Tong estimated that Eighty Percent of the flowers would go to the Marine Medical College to learn nurses, and they were acquaintances.

Looking at the happiness on the face of the flower, I wish the child to know more about the Yellow Sea; At least, he had some thought about the future of the flower; With the temperament, background, and education of a flower, it seems that she is also suitable to be a gentle angel in white.

Compare your heart to your heart, if you were the Yellow Sea, maybe you wouldn't have thought so much; In this way, if the flower is by your side and you can take care of it at any time, the flower will be less affected by some twists and turns.

Zhu Tong looked at Ye'er and Huanghai, who were not far away, and shook hands and whispered something? Much like a pair of sweet lovers.

Mei Lanting walked in, and after finding Zhu Tong, he walked straight over and sat down beside him, his face was not very good-looking.

She was followed by a man with long hair, also a jacket of hiking boots, and a nondescript beret.

"Miss, do you want to make friends? They are all travel friends, are you interested in climbing Nanhua Mountain together? ”

The beret had a chubby face, and when his little eyes saw a flower, he immediately turned his target and sat beside her, accosting her in southern Mandarin: "Miss, your surname, are you friends?" It's better for everyone to have a drink, it doesn't matter, I'm in for a treat, I'm for a treat. Have a dozen beers. ”

It's a self-cooked: "My last name." As he was talking, Mei Lanting beckoned for a bottle of foreign wine, two thousand eight kinds.

The beret's face turned green in an instant, and Mei Lanting poured a big cup and drank half a sip: "Do you need to climb Nanhua Mountain?" ”

Zhu Tong saw that she was tossing the beret, and winked at the flower to tell her to keep her silent.

"Sir's hiking boots are very beautiful, but it's a pity that wearing such boots on a snowy day to walk on a mountain road is to find death; It's too heavy to walk on the flat road, take the mountain road, Nanhua Mountain is a stone road, and your feet are ......; This velvet jacket is genuine, I'm sure, Mr. just returned from Tibet or the Northeast, wearing such a velvet jacket here, climbing mountains? Beware of suffocation. You can't tell in this hat that Mr. is an environmental protection volunteer. ”

"Yes, yes." The beret nodded hurriedly.

"But your hat doesn't match this jacket; It is your freedom to wear what you wear, and you should be careful when you speak in the future; You haven't been to Shennongjia, it's already closed. Mei Lanting was unrelentingly sarcastic about the beret, half of the people in the bar were looking at her, and Zhu Tong tugged at her sleeves; Mei Lanting whispered: "Hooligans, just now you asked me how much money I was charged outside?" ”

It turned out to be a confused worm with a sperm worm on the brain, and he met Mei Lanting; Zhu Tong waved his hand: "Sir, please, we are a gathering of friends, and outsiders are not welcome to disturb us." ”

The beret stood up curtly and wanted to go; Mei Lanting said: "Take your beer away, no one drinks beer here, and no one pays your bills for you." ”

Huahua smiled and watched the beret leave with a beer in his arms, and Zhu Tong nodded his back: "Huahua, you will meet a lot of such people in the future." ”

"I know, that's why my mother let me dye my skin black; Now I'm not afraid, Brother Hai is a policeman, and he specializes in catching bad things. Blossom looked back at the Yellow Sea, only to find that their seats were empty.

"They're out, let's go too. Miss May, this time you check out. ”

Mei Lanting snorted, concentrating on drinking and ignoring Zhu Tong; This girl is jealous, and when she sees the two happy pairs around her, she will inevitably be touched in her heart.

The water of the Tuojiang River is gentle, the heart of the river is beating on the rock, Ye Er is listening to the phone, and Huang Hai is standing by the river.

"Ye'er is not an actual girl, she has very low material requirements; I believe you have the ability; But she is a romantic person and has a high demand for her spiritual life. I'm a rough person, I knew she was accommodating me. Doctor Li, it's rare that you have traveled so far to treat her, Ye'er likes you; I believe you are a good person, don't let her be wronged. Ifβ€”you know what I'm going to do, she'll be my sister from now on. You have to remember her birthday, remember that yesterday was the first day you fell in love; Ye'er likes to drink tea, does not drink coffee or beer, and sometimes drinks a few sips of red wine; You have to send her flowers often, Ye Er doesn't like red roses, she likes lilacs and orchids. Ye'er is usually very quiet, reading calligraphy and painting at home, but every year she has to find an opportunity to travel outside; She may be unhappy at some point and pull you to the beach; But she won't pull you to the mall. ”

Huang Hai said slowly, the more he said Zhu Tong, the more he felt the huge pressure; Huang Hai's love for Ye'er is no longer ordinary, he feels that he is not worthy of Ye'er, and he has not given up his love for Ye'er at all, which may be deeper.

After everything was said and done, Huang Hai was much more relaxed, and now it was Zhu Tong's turn to bear his previous contradictions.

"This is also what I want to say to you, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for a flower to meet you, I hope Shanghai can accept her."

"I will never go to another woman again in my life; A flower is everything; I can't give her what Ye'er wants, the flower is very simple, I will try my best to take care of her. Huang Hai smiled, "Doctor Li, I heard Ye'er say that you are very familiar with President Wang of Ocean Hospital, and you will be transferred there soon; I'm going to let Blossom learn to take care of it, and I'll ask you to take care of it when the time comes. ”

"You don't have to entrust it, it's right to take care of a flower, she calls me big brother."

The two men looked at each other, and they could sense each other's worries, and finally clasped their hands together.

Huang Hai said: "My mother is the only one, and she loves Ye'er as if she were her own daughter. Doctor Li, we will leave tomorrow, and you should go back quickly, Ye'er's vacation is coming soon. ”

Ye'er was calling Huang Hai's mother, who had been wandering between the rocks.

"Can youβ€”mom accept a flower?" Zhu Tong asked worriedly.

"Looking back, now is not the time; Let's go first, you say to Ye'er. Huang Hai nodded, and walked away with the flowers; The flower stretched out her little hand and waved a few times at Zhu Tong behind her back.

When Ye'er walked back, her eyes were red, she was a water-made character, and her tears were waiting at any time.

"Whoever likes to cry can live a long life; Tears are good for your health; Better than that, it's a smile. ”

"Why don't you cry?" Ye Er wiped the corners of her eyes.

In the next two days, Ye Er took this Zhu Tong to wander around the Tuojiang River all day long, riding a small boat up the river, back and forth. Sometimes they also set up easels by the river, and painted with Zhu Tong's models and Tuojiang River and Hanging Corner Tower as the background.

Zhu Tong enjoyed such leisurely life, but fortunately, Ye'er was really romantic, and he didn't ask Zhu Tong's family information; That said, that was not romantic. But the issue of age always has to be concrete, Zhu Tong can only tell Li Xiang's date of birth, and he doesn't know whether this person is true or false.

In the past two days, Zhu Tong also initially experienced the pain of receiving the divine tradition: insomnia.

It's not absolute insomnia, but it's that you can't sleep well at night, and at night, there are always wings in your head that are stirring, flickering, unhurried; There are also strange things that keep popping up.

During the day, the wings are relatively quiet, so that Zhu Tong can take time to sleep for a while. He had been immersed in half-dreaming torments all day, and of course his spirit was terrible; Fortunately, Zhumen's unique Peng Ma Gong made Zhu Tong have a tenacious adaptation, and gradually found the ability to sleep at any time.

Zhu Tong hated this feeling, and after only a few days, he dreamed about how to get rid of the hated butterfly god.

In the early morning of the third day, Zhu Tong was called up by Ye Er early in the morning and went up to Nanhua Mountain with Uncle Chen.

This is their last day in Phoenix, and in the afternoon, Ye Er and Mei Lanting are going to catch the train back to Shanghai; Zhu Tong nominally wants to go back to Beijing to go through the transfer procedures.

Looking at the awakening Phoenix City from Nanhua Mountain, you will find the preciousness of the ancient city.

The street where they live is actually the essence of the ancient city, Phoenix New Town is bounded by Hongqiao, spreading outward along the mountain, full of modern buildings, and the stilted buildings by the Tuojiang River are only that piece.

Chen Abo climbs Nanhua Mountain every morning, there are stone steps spreading and the upper edge of the mountain is spreading, flat and steep, zigzag and curved.

On the mountain road, many locals get up in the morning to exercise, and they keep greeting each other; In Zhu Tong's view, the people who live here have greater blessings than people elsewhere because of this mountain.

Nanhua Mountain is not very high, but it is quiet and beautiful, for Zhu Tong and Mei Lanting, it is very easy to climb up.

And Ye'er, in the end, didn't have their ability, if it wasn't for Mei Lanting's support, she wouldn't even be able to reach the One Stop Pavilion halfway up the mountain.

One stop pavilion is an excellent place to see the panorama of Phoenix, after Ye'er arrived here, he simply stopped walking, took a camera to take pictures of the stream, pines and cypresses, or the ancient city of Tuohe under the mountain, and enjoyed himself, no matter how others persuaded him.

Uncle Chen chatted with Zhu Tong while climbing the stone steps, and after the old man knew that Zhu Tong was a Chinese medicine doctor, his attitude towards him was slightly better, and he kept complaining that the hospital today could not afford to enter, and it was still convenient for the previous medical hall.

In the casual conversation with Uncle Chen, Zhu Tong unexpectedly got some clues about Zhu You's medical disease, decades ago, there was a Zhu You Medical Hall by the Tuojiang River, all of them sat in the hall, and ordinary diseases did not use medicinal herbs, only some spells were burned to cure the disease. When you are in trouble, you have to eat some herbs, and the doctor prescribes a prescription to go to the pharmacy on the street to catch it, and sometimes you need to wish the doctor to open the altar.

"Only when a rich person is sick with wealth and nobility will the doctor open the altar to treat the disease, which ordinary people can't see." Uncle Chen sighed; "Dr. Zhu You is very kind, the poor don't take money when they go, they earn the money of big families. I know. ”

Uncle Chen suddenly stopped talking, and Zhu Tong followed his eyes, only to see a gray back disappearing into the woods outside the stone steps. This back is strange and familiar at the same time, very strange.

"You β€”β€”?" Zhu Tong wanted to chase down, but there was Uncle Chen by his side, and there were people constantly going up and down the mountain road, so he lost his trace of the person after just hesitating.

"When people are old, they often get it wrong, if they are really old, they will be more than a hundred years old even if they are alive, how can they still go up the mountain to collect medicine?" Although Uncle Chen said this, he kept looking at the mountains and forests, as if he was very puzzled.

Zhu Tong asked, "Uncle Chen, who are you talking about?" ”

"It's the Dr. Zhu You I just mentioned, his surname is Niu, a very good person, he has been opening a medical clinic by the Tuojiang River, and I often played in front of him when I was a child to watch the excitement; It's all those red kids who do evil, saying that people are superstitious, the door is closed, and Dr. Niu is beaten to death as a liar. ”

Zhu Tong also remembered that the back was the old man who passed on the word "spirit" to him.

Suddenly there was a bustle in front, a group of brightly dressed yellow-clothed monks walked down the mountain along the stone steps, and more than 20 monks chanted the scriptures in a low voice while walking, making the originally pure Nanhua Mountain have some sacred taste.

One of the monks is fat-faced and big-eared, and the fake monk found by the owner of Xiaoyun Village is like a brother; Zhu Tong laughed softly and flashed with Uncle Chen on the side of the road.

When the fat monk walked in front of Zhu Tong, he stopped his steps, looked at Zhu Tong with his hands together, and said, "Why is this layman laughing?" Is there something wrong with the poor monks? ”

"I laugh at me, I have a reason, what's the matter with the monk? Master, you 'poor monks' should not stay here, the mountain road is narrow, there is no way to file other people's ways, people are here to practice in the morning, not to see monks tour the mountains. ”

The inhabitants of Phoenix City did have the habit of climbing the mountain at any hour, but for a while, more than a dozen people were indeed crowded at both ends of the stone steps; Next to the fat monk was a strong monk, with a red face and black beard and angry eyebrows, and he was a little annoyed when he heard Zhu Tong say this: "Master Wuxuan is kind and pointed, why are you so rude?" ”

"Kexing, I climb my mountain and walk my path, how can I need others to worry about it?" Zhu Tong restrained his smile, and Uncle Chen also said with some dissatisfaction: "It's you who are domineering." ”

After Uncle Chen finished speaking, echoing voices sounded around him, and Zhu Tong believed his brother's words: The land of Xiangxi is too deeply influenced by the Wu Gu Miao culture, and there is no market for Buddhism and Taoism here, so they can only mix these fake monks; It's just doing business, and it's all about tourists' money, and locals won't be fooled at all.

These monks are all people in the rivers and lakes, Zhu Tong has seen it clearly, and he has also heard of the name of Master Wuxu, which is a heavyweight monk of the Golden Buddha; However, even if there was a real conflict between the two sides, he didn't believe that the monk would do anything here.

Master Wuxu grabbed the strong monk and said: "Buddhism is vast, and those who are willing to make good connections are donors." Although we are in the red dust, we are still accompanied by green lanterns and ancient Buddhas; I won't and I don't dare to be overbearing. ”

After speaking, with a wave of his hand, the monks on the stone steps spread out and went down the mountain in a straight line.

Uncle Chen: "Hmph! With a sound, he continued to climb the mountain and go on a morning tour, wishing Tong a good laugh, he understood that the reason why Uncle Chen was dissatisfied with the monk was probably because the behavior of his senior brother was too outrageous. Finish.

Because he saw the monk, Zhu Tong was no longer interested in climbing the mountain, he wanted to go to the Tianwang Temple as soon as possible, and the monk Wuxu would only have one purpose when he went to the remote Phoenix City: to go to the Tianwang Temple under Nanhua Mountain to deal with Zhu Tong's senior brother Xiaoyun Zhuang Master.

Zhu Tong found an excuse to say goodbye to Uncle Chen, went to Yizhu Pavilion to find the two beauties, and handed Mei Lanting a look: "I'm going to go down first, you guys play slowly." ”

"What's wrong?" Ye'er walked over and touched his head.

"It's not there, it's - the pants are torn, I was careless, I'm sorry."

Zhu Tong removed the hand covering his buttocks, the thread was really opened, and he had just torn it open, and this bit of getting out of the machine was a piece of cake for the little liar.

Ye Er took a sip: "Go quickly, it's so embarrassing." ”

"Don't be bitten by Grandma's dog." Mei Lanting fell into the ground, and in the past two days, Grandma Chen's yellow dog came back and lay in front of the door, and every time she saw Zhu Tong, she couldn't be affectionate.

Zhu Tong didn't have time to talk nonsense with her, so he beckoned and left.
