Chapter 17: A Daughter's Heart
Ye Tingxue led them all the way to the bamboo forest building where she lived, and the illusion here had also dissipated like smoke with the intrusion of Fang Cai Ge Fengque, without a trace, leaving only the vast white snow, as far as the eye could see.
The group entered the house, Dong Zhe and Ge Fengque placed the injured woman in red on Ye Tingxue's bed, and Ye Tingxue turned her wheelchair to the bedside, "Brother Feng Que, you go out first, she has an injured shoulder blade and needs to take off her clothes to check." Ye Tingxue didn't look at Ge Fengque when she said this, "Who was she injured by?" ”
Ye Tingxue couldn't see what the martial arts used for this sword wound was, so naturally she didn't know who injured the woman in red.
Ge Fengque didn't know why he wanted to avoid her gaze, but he was faintly relieved to see that she didn't look at him, his expression was complicated, but he said lightly: "It's me." ”
Ye Tingxue's hands resting on her legs trembled slightly, and then she pretended as if nothing had happened, and repeated Fang Cai's words again, "Brother Feng Que will go out first." ”
"Can you treat her?" Ge Feng had doubts, he had left Bai Ze Snow Plains for seven years, and naturally he didn't know that in the past seven years, Ye Tingxue had not only followed the star sect Wang Lou Nan to learn the martial arts of the Holy Infant Sect, but also knew a little bit about Huang Qi's technique.
Ye Tingxue didn't want to explain more, but she didn't want to be rushed by Dong Zhe, who was adding charcoal on the side, and said: "Sister Xue is amazing, brother, you don't look down on people." ”
Ye Tingxue frowned slightly, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Dong Zhe, you go and see why Sister Chunsheng hasn't come over yet." ”
"Oh." Dong Zhe reluctantly got up and walked out of the house, and when she reached the door, she seemed to remember something and beckoned to Ge Fengque, "Brother, you can come out too." ”
Hearing this, Ge Fengque glanced at the woman in red on the bed, and stared at Ye Tingxue's thin back for a moment, he wanted to open his mouth to explain a few words to Ye Tingxue, but seeing that Ye Tingxue didn't seem to care about Fang Cai's affairs, his words of explanation were choked in his throat, and he was finally swallowed back by himself.
"Ye Tingxue, thank you." With that, he took a step and turned to leave.
When only Ye Tingxue and the woman in red were left in the room, Ye Tingxue reached out to untie the woman's clothes, and the sword wound was exposed in front of her eyes, extremely sharp, and the injury was very deep, but fortunately, it did not hurt the vital point, it was just an ordinary external injury.
However, the blood had not yet fully coagulated by this time, and from time to time blood as thick as a finger gushed out from the wound. At this time, Chunsheng and Qiucia came with a medicine box and herbs, and Ye Tingxue instructed the two of them to draw some water and prepare a cloth towel to wipe the wounds of the woman in red.
Qiu Cicada soaked the cloth towel in a copper basin with water, then wrung it out and handed it to Ye Tingxue, Ye Tingxue took it and wiped it carefully for the woman in red, only with every movement, the woman's body would tremble slightly. Ye Tingxue set her eyes on her extremely beautiful face, and saw that her two crescent-like curved eyebrows were frowning tightly together at the moment, and fine beads of sweat were growing on her forehead.
She didn't know why Ge Fengque hit this woman, and there was no room for it, but since she hurt her, why did she have to save her? Then it is definitely not out of any personal grudge, but it may have been injured by mistake.
Ye Tingxue thought so, so she slowed down her movements, but fortunately, she cleaned the wound for her in a short time, and then bandaged her with medicine. After a stick of incense, when I looked at the woman in red again, her expression was much more relaxed than before, but she was still asleep and did not wake up.
"Go and ask Brother Feng Que to come in." At the moment when Ye Tingxue covered her clothes for the woman in red, she opened her mouth and instructed Chunsheng.
Chunsheng answered, but before he stepped out of the door, the door had already been pushed open, but the person who came was not Ge Fengque, but Ye Tingxue's master, Star Sect Wang Lounan.
"The deity heard that someone trespassed on the Shirasawa Snow Plain, and even destroyed the illusion gap set by the deity? What's going on? Lou Nan pushed the door in, and a purple dress rolled through the wind and snow, carrying the cold air to pave the surface.
After Ye Tingxue heard Lou Nan's voice, she immediately turned her wheelchair and came to her, and when she looked up and saw her master with anger on his face, she knew that something was wrong.
However, when she promised Ge Fengque, she had already expected that this matter would be known to the master, and she had already expected that the most likely way for the master to know about this matter was for Xia Sang to report it.
At this time, Xia Sang was also established behind Lou Nan, and I saw her face embarrassed, and I didn't know whether to look at Ye Tingxue's eyes.
"Miss, I'...... I don't want Miss to get hurt. Although Xia Sang knew that she might be disgusted by Ye Tingxue like this, as long as she thought of Ye Tingxue's safety, she felt that even if she was hated by Ye Tingxue, she would not regret making such a choice.
However, Ye Tingxue just chuckled and shook her head, "It's okay." ", I don't blame her for this, and I also know that she has always been thoughtful and vigilant, and she will naturally not let it develop and leave a disaster when it comes to today's events, "Master, it's Brother Feng Que who is back." ”
Ye Tingxue's lips opened slightly, and explained to Lou Nan today's matter, although she looked directly at Lou Nan's pale golden eyes when she spoke, but this was the first time she saw her master angry.
On weekdays, she has always been obedient and well-behaved, and she has never annoyed Lou Nan, and now in such a situation, she is naturally a little frightened.
After Lou Nan heard this, he glanced at the bed behind Ye Tingxue, "She is the person brought back by Ge Fengque?" She has always been dignified and solemn, not angry and self-assured, and at this moment, she happened to be angry, Ye Tingxue didn't dare to say much when she saw this, so she had to lower her eyelashes and nod in response to her.
Lou Nan's words were not good, but it was not because Ye Tingxue took them in privately and made her feel unhappy.
But as Ye Tingxue's master, in fact, she is not angry for Ye Tingxue in her heart. She has been waiting for that Ge Fengque for seven years, and for seven years, she has been looking forward to Ge Fengque's return to Bai Zexue, even if it is just to look at her, it is good.
In seven years, Ye Tingxue has changed from a lively and bright girl when she was a child to a cold and lonely appearance today.
No matter how sad she is as a master, she can't do anything about it, so naturally she won't be happy to see Ge Fengque appear in the Baize Snow Plain, even if this place was originally under the jurisdiction of her senior brother Qingyang.
"Ge Feng is short of people?" Lou Nan thought so, looked around for a moment, and asked, "Could it be that he didn't dare to show up knowing that the deity was here?" ”
"Uncle Shi." As soon as Ye Tingxue was about to inform Lou Nan, Ge Fengque appeared in front of the door with Dong Zhe with the decoction, he heard Lou Nan's question, and said: "Feng Que trespassed into the Baize Snow Plain, and there is a reason for it. Ge Feng walked in front of Lou Nan without three or two steps, and explained with his fists in his fists, "Please don't embarrass Ye Tingxue." ”
Lou Nan looked at him and moved his gaze to him, and was surprised that he was no longer the little boy in the moon-white shirt that day, he was able to break through the illusion gap he had set, and he must have improved a lot in martial arts cultivation over the years, and he had gained a lot.
"The deity will tell your master about this." Lou Nan retracted his gaze and said coldly, "After the woman wakes up, she will leave the Baize Snow Field immediately, since you haven't set foot here for many years, you will go back to the Holy Child Sect to stay well." Lou Nan's implication was to ask Ge Fengque not to come to Ye Tingxue again.
"Master, Brother Feng Que must have been practicing martial arts hard all these years, and he has no time to come here." Ye Tingxue murmured softly, only to see her eyelashes drooping, like a butterfly about to fall, this sound nothing more than to excuse Ge Fengque for not keeping the promise of the day.
"He doesn't explain himself, but you're anxious." Lou Nan brushed his sleeves, turned around and wanted to leave, "Remember to leave as soon as the woman wakes up." She said this to Ge Fengque, and after saying that, she left without looking back and disappeared into the wind and snow.
Ge Fengque stood in place and didn't say anything for a long time, Ye Tingxue saw him like this, and mistakenly thought that she had said something she shouldn't have said, but she didn't know that Ge Fengque felt uncomfortable in her heart for failing to keep her promise.
The two of them were silent like this for a long time, and just when Ye Tingxue wanted to open her mouth to break the silence, the woman in red on the bed suddenly snorted slightly.
Ye Tingxue was turning her head to look, and Ge Fengque had already walked to the side of the bed first, "Ye Tingxue, what's wrong with her?" ”
Ye Tingxue was stunned in her heart, she couldn't tell what she felt, but she endured the sourness in her heart, turned her wheelchair and slowly approached them, "She should be about to wake up." She couldn't help but feel very disappointed when she saw that Ge Fengque cared so much about this woman.
"I'll wait for her to leave when she wakes up." Ge Fengque turned around and looked at Ye Tingxue, "Thank you, Ye Tingxue." ”
In fact, Ye Tingxue originally wanted him not to care so much about what Fang Cai Lou Nan said, but seeing that his mind was not here, he couldn't say it, "Okay." ”
After Ge Fengque hesitated for a moment, he slowly spoke: "I injured her not far from Bai Ze Snow Plain, and she was forcing a merman at that time, and I couldn't bear that merman to be injured by her, so I stopped it." Ge Fengque simply told Ye Tingxue the ins and outs of the matter, and he didn't know what he meant to explain, "I don't actually know her. ”
After hearing his words, Ye Tingxue was stunned for a moment, and then gradually came back to her senses and nodded, "I see." ”
"Not bad." Ge Fengque pursed his lips and smiled, "I heard from the master, I should return to Bai Ze Snow Field soon." ”
Ye Tingxue raised her head suddenly, facing the slightly softened gaze of Shang Ge Fengque, her eyes flashed, and she couldn't hide the joy in her heart at all, and her perennially cold face was actually clinging to an unusual brilliance.
"Really?" She couldn't help but ask, as if she was afraid that Ge Fengque would be like last time.
Ge Feng nodded, "What the master said should not be false." ”
Hearing this, Ye Tingxue was a little happy but seemed to be doused with cold water, and Ge Feng's lack of this intention sounded as if he was completely following his master's instructions, and it had nothing to do with his own wishes.
Ye Tingxue thought so, and only said in her heart that she and Ge Fengque were indeed not as good as they were when they were young, the past was gone, and things were wrong.
