Chapter 5 Saving Xiaolang in the Mountains
"Because, I am kind-hearted and beautiful, and I can't see anyone suffering." Wei Shuo didn't seem to think much, and such cheeky old face words blurted out.
Yi Xue was helpless for a while, pouted, and said: "It's really ...... to be in the mood to joke at this time."
"That's it, you know I'm joking, so if you don't sell my face, hurry up and laugh." Wei Shuo turned his head and began to pinch Yi Xue's face, squeezing his eyebrows at her, with a bit of request in his tone, and said, "Laugh one, laugh one." ”
Xue Xue was amused by his funny expression, and laughed out loud.
"That's right." Wei Shuo let go of his hand, and suddenly became serious again, and said earnestly:
"Tao Xi, I don't think the past matters. I hadn't encountered anything good before opening this bookstore, and I felt very tired of living, and I didn't want you to be like that." Wei Shuo paused, and then said: "Then, don't always stare at the little income in the bookstore, since you do what you like, you have to enjoy it." ”
"Then you know that I worry about the bookstore every day, and you don't help me, so you know that you go out to drink tea every day." Snownunu mouth.
"Because...... I know you love to write, you love to read, and I'm sure you can do a great job, and I'm proud of you. Wei Shuo spoke word by word, and his tone was very sincere.
This sentence hit Yi Xue's soft underbelly at once, and her tears couldn't help but fall again.
Wei Shuo heard Yi Xue's choking sound, turned his head to see her uncomfortable look, and said with relief: "Ouch, I'm crying again." ”
However, this time, Wei Shuo did not laugh at Yi Xue, but took the initiative to help her wipe away her tears.
In fact, no one has ever asked Yi Xue what she likes, neither does her father and mother. Everyone just told her that she was a princess and what she was supposed to do.
But Wei Shuo knew.
Wei Shuo continued: "Since opening this bookstore, I have begun to meet some good people, including you, of course. Although you often talk about me, I feel very happy to have you. ”
Yi Xue lowered her head and said "um", which was a response, and the two didn't speak again.
The sun had risen overhead, the sun was scorching, and Wei Shuo sat lazily on the stone steps, enjoying the shade under the eaves, calmly, while next to him sat a little girl curled up, crying and crying.
Suddenly, Wei Shuo smelled a mushy smell, and he pushed Yixue, "Hey, do you smell anything?" ”
Yi Xue suddenly raised her head, "Ah, the dishes in my pot!" ”
Wei Shuo also noticed his small kitchen at this time, "Ah! My kitchenette! ”
……
That day, Xue almost burned down the kitchen, and Wei Shuo discovered the secret of the meal.
After that, Wei Shuo no longer dared to let Yi Xue stay alone in his kitchen, every day as long as it was time to cook, Wei Shuo would move a chair to sit next to him and command, from time to time saying that she was stupid, but if Yi Xue did well, he would also be stingy and would praise her.
The way the two get along is the same as before, or more harmonious than before.
After what happened last time, Yi Xue also discovered Wei Shuo's excellence, and after that, he didn't break the events of that day, which made her relieved, and even a little happy, feeling that the relationship between the two seemed to be one step closer.
The days passed like flowing water. The transcription was almost used, and Wei Shuo could now walk slowly, but it was still too reluctant to go up the mountain.
So today, Yixue had to go up the mountain alone to pick hemp vines for papermaking.
Wei Shuo felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry, even if it was to postpone the delivery time for a few days. But Yi Xue still insisted on going, she was already familiar with the route, but after all, it was the first time for her to go up the mountain alone, and she was still a little apprehensive.
It turned out that she had long been accustomed to the days of Wei Shuo's company.
However, this uneasiness really worked - Yi Xue saw a person in the small cave where she usually rested!
Yi Xue was a little scared, looking at it from a distance, there were still some blood stains on the person's body, and Yi Xue couldn't help but gasp.
Yi Xue looked around, there should be no one else, took a deep breath, and walked over slowly.
When I got closer, I found that the person lying down was a young man, who looked about the same age as himself, and his face was covered with ash, and it seemed as if he had been lying here for a few days and fainted.
Yi Xue's heart tightened, and she muttered without passing: "If Ah Ji is here, is it so big......
Yi Xue sat down close to him, staring at his face, her hand slowly approaching his head, when she was a child, she always liked to touch Sima Ji's head like this, but when she was about to touch the boy's bun, Yi Xue stopped. "He's not a brother, he's not a brother," Xue kept telling herself.
And they don't look alike.
Yi Xue withdrew her hand, and after calming down, she patted him gently, but she didn't see any reaction from him, so she had to gently scrub the blood on his face for him first, so that she could see the appearance of this young man clearly.
This young man not only does not look like Sima Ji, but also has a very different appearance, and he doesn't even look like any teenager in Dayu.
His face is angular, his contours are clear, his eyebrows are not like willow leaves like sharp swords, his brows are wrinkled, his eyes are slightly deep, his nose is as straight as a knife and an axe, and his thin lips are shriveled like withered grass.
Xue Xue hurriedly opened his water bladder and wanted to feed him some water, but he couldn't open his mouth anyway, so Xue shook his head helplessly, so he had to hold the water in his hand to moisten his thin lips that were scorched and cracked.
Although the appearance is somewhat unique, it is not fierce. However, Yi Xue felt as if she had seen it somewhere before, and when she tried to remember, she suddenly remembered the "Luan Yu Tu" that her mother had shown her, which was made by the painters when the envoys of the northern Ulan Kingdom visited, and the mother concubine also said that the man with a unique appearance in the portrait was the envoy of the Ulan Kingdom.
Could it be that this child is from the country of Ulan? Xue Xue thought.
Although he was not Ah Ji, but seeing this young man of the same age as Ah Ji, based on this alone, Yi Xue suddenly felt very relieved, and her tense nerves were relaxed, and there was even a hint of intimacy.
At a certain moment, Yi Xue even had the illusion of death, wondering if God had forgiven her for her mistakes to let her meet this young man.
Thinking like this, Yi Xue sat silently beside the young man, pillowing his head with rattan hemp, and moistening his lips from time to time.
During this period, Yi Xue also noticed that he was dressed, although the worn clothes could not see the original color, but the ornament was the first time to see, and the thing hanging around the neck revealed a small section, which was something that had never been seen before, slender, and saw a small hole, which should be artificially chiseled, and the color was slightly yellow.
I don't know how long it took, the young man's brows suddenly tightened, and then he slowly opened his eyes, his lips slightly open.
Yi Xue hurriedly crawled over and asked:
"How are you? Are you okay? When Xue Xue saw his eyes, she couldn't help but take a step back, and her face became a little pale.
The color of his eyes, like the color of the thin layer of ink that first falls on the surface when the ink falls into the pen wash, should it be called thin ink?
Xue swallowed nervously, and the boy seemed to sense something and didn't pay attention to it. The originally clenched fist was loose, her fingers trembled, and she struggled to raise her arm, as if she wanted to get up, Yi Xue hesitated for a moment, and immediately stepped forward and said, "I'll help you." Then he hurried over and helped him up.
The young man cast a cold look, and Ji Xue's body became a little stiff.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" The boy's voice was hoarse.
"Don't be afraid." Xue Xue replied, in a tone affirmative and crisp. After helping him sit down, Yi Xue hurriedly handed him the water bladder, and the young man wanted to take it, but the action of raising his hand seemed to be extremely difficult for him.
"Are you hurt?" Xue Xue asked,
The boy nodded with difficulty.
Yi Xue didn't hesitate this time, quickly opened the water bladder, and whispered, "I'll help you."
The boy may have been thirsty, but he didn't refuse, and as soon as the water bladder was handed to his mouth, he couldn't wait to drink it, and almost choked.
The water was drunk, and after that, there was a long silence.
