In an unknown valley sixty kilometers away from Lincheng, a good-looking girl was washing her clothes by a stream.

The stream flowed quietly, and as the girl washed her clothes, it occasionally stirred up a splash and crashed against the smooth pebbles on the shore, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

The girl is dressed very elegantly, like an orchid growing by the river, pure and moving.

She hummed a little song in her mouth, and the gentle singing blended with the sound of the murmuring of the brook and the crashing of the waves, like a natural sound, refreshing.

On a boulder not far away, a young man reclined and closed his eyes, supporting his head with one hand, and gently tapping the boulder with the fingers of the other, in harmony with the girl's singing.

The young man had long hair, I don't know if it was born or dyed, this long hair was all silvery-white, hanging on the boulder, obscuring half of the young man's face.

The afternoon sun was very strong, but the young man wore a down jacket and wrapped himself thickly, which looked very strange.

After the girl had washed her clothes, she lifted the tub and prepared to leave, and as she passed by the boulder, she noticed the young man and looked at him curiously.

The young man also opened his eyes at this moment, and looked at each other.

The girl immediately retracted her gaze and said in a very nice voice: "Grandma, you are not from the mountains, are you?" The sun is about to go down, you should go back quickly, otherwise it will be easy to get lost when it gets dark for a while. ”

The expression on the young man's face stiffened, he sat up, brushed his long silver-white hair behind his head, pointed to his handsome face and said, "Girl, see clearly, where do I look like an old grandmother?" ”

"Yikes! Are you a man? Still so young? The girl raised her head and looked at the young man again, with a hint of surprise on her face: "Your hair ......"

"My hair...... It's a long story. The young man sighed and jumped off the boulder, such a simple action made his face flush, and he bent down and coughed violently twice.

"Are you alright?" The girl asked, putting down the tub and stepping forward cautiously.

It was only when the flush on the young man's face had faded that she noticed that the young man's face was unusually pale.

"It's fine." The young man grinned, took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"You vomited blood?" The girl asked worriedly, took the young man's hand and said, "I will have some medical skills, you let me show you." ”

"Why are your hands so cold?" The moment the girl grasped the young man's hand, it let go again, and it felt like she was holding a popsicle.

But then she endured the chill and took the young man's hand again, and put her three fingers on his wrist.

"Do you know how to heal?" The young man showed a hint of surprise on his face, chuckling and letting the girl take his pulse.

With the pulse, the girl's beautiful brows were twisted together, as if she was talking to herself and the young man: "Strange...... How could it be such a pulse......"

"I'm sick, you don't understand."

The young man smiled and withdrew his hand, took out a small wooden box with a delicate appearance from the inner pocket of his clothes, and handed it to the girl: "Thank you for treating me, and thank you for singing to me just now, your singing makes me feel a lot better." ”

"Meeting is fate, this is for you."

"What is this?" The girl looked at the small wooden box suspiciously, but did not take it.

"Take it." The young man stuffed the wooden box into the girl's hand, turned around and walked away, waving his hand: "There will be a time later." ”

"Hey, you wait!" The girl caught up with the youth and handed him back the wooden box: "I can't ask for your things. ”

"If you give it to you, you can take it, I don't have anything else now, this is a ...... One last relic of mine. ”

The young man looked around the valley with a melancholy look in his eyes, and sighed lightly: "The scenery of this place is good, and it is good to die here." ”

"What a relic or what is dead, you talk so strangely." The girl muttered and looked around with the wooden box: "Even if you want to give me something, you have to teach me how to open this, right?" ”

"Oh, yes." The young man patted his head and smiled, "I almost forgot about this lock." ”

He took the wooden box from the girl's hand, and after tinkering for a while, the wooden box opened with a 'click', revealing a snow-white elixir inside.

"Snow Toad?" The girl's eyes lit up, and the young man recognized the pill unexpectedly.

"You know?" The young man asked in surprise.

"I know, someone gave one to my grandfather ten years ago...... Yes! I remember! The girl suddenly let out a cry of exclamation, and then stared at the young man with a beaming face.

"I remember what's going on with your illness! No wonder I think you're so familiar with this pulse, and the person who gave my grandfather Xue Toadan ten years ago is also this kind of pulse! ”

The young man became more and more surprised, and his brows furrowed slightly: "You said that someone gave your grandfather a snow toad pill ten years ago, and that person still suffers from this disease like me?" ”

"Well, it should be, but I was still young at the time, and I just learned to take the pulse, and I wasn't familiar with the pulse, so I didn't remember it for a while."

The girl looked at the young man happily, took his hand and said, "You go back with me, I know how to cure you!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but I know that my body is hopeless."

The young man shook his head and smiled, and seeing the girl's unhappy expression, he explained, "I can also heal, and maybe my healers are better than yours." ”

"Cut, I don't believe it, grandpa said that the medical skills I learned were all lost outside, and you can't be better than me." The girl said unguardedly.

"Lost medical skills out there?" The young man looked thoughtfully into the valley and asked, "Do you live in this valley?" ”

"yes." The girl nodded, pointed to the distance and said, "Ten minutes walk in this direction is my house." ”

"Okay, I'll go with you to see, I'm curious about who your grandfather is, if your grandfather can really cure me, I will be grateful."

The young man had a chuckle on his face, and he didn't have much hope, purely because the girl said that her grandfather would have a lot of lost medical skills, so she wanted to go and see it.

But the girl said gloomily: "Grandpa has passed away......

"Oh, goodbye." The young man stuffed the snow toad into the girl's hand, turned around and left without saying a word.

The girl was stunned, then stamped her feet and shouted, "Hey, you stop!" I can really cure you! ”

The young man did not look back.

The girl chased after him, grabbed the young man, and tried to pull him back, but her little strength could not pull the young man at all, but was dragged forward by the young man.

"Stop...... I really have a cure for you, can you trust me...... Hey, why are you like this...... I'm mad if you don't stop stopping......"

The girl shouted as she was carried away by the young man for a long distance.

It was not until she was about to leave the valley that the girl suddenly let go of the young man, crouched on the ground and began to sob.

This moment made the young man stunned, turned around and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Don't worry about it!" The girl wiped her eyes and pouted and walked back.

"This ......," the young man scratched his head and asked, "Are you alright?" ”

"Humph!" The girl snorted and walked faster.

The young man also quickened his pace to keep up, and for a while, the scene just now was reversed, from the girl following the youth to the young man following her.

"Isn't it, if I don't let you heal, you'll cry?" The young man ran in front of the girl, stopped her with open arms, looked at her red eyes and asked.

"I didn't cry!" The girl didn't admit it.

"You didn't cry, there are still tears in the corners of your eyes." The young man gestured to her face.

The girl subconsciously wiped the corners of her eyes, then raised her head and asked, "Are you going back with me?" ”

I said...... Why do you have to treat me? "The young man was completely helpless.

The girl bit her red lip and whispered, "I want to fulfill Grandpa's last wish......"

"Last wish? What is your grandfather's last wish? What does it have to do with my disease? The young man asked suspiciously.

"Ten years ago, my grandfather met that person, and because he couldn't cure his illness, my grandfather felt that he had learned medicine in vain......"

"He spent three years studying this disease day and night, and finally found a cure, but he couldn't find the person who was sick, and that person should be dead......

The girl's eyes were red, and she pinched her pink fist and said: "Grandpa spent his last time studying this disease, but in the end, he didn't even have a chance to prove himself, and he died ashamed." ”

"I'm going to prove him right for Grandpa!"

The young man was stunned, and his gaze softened: "Okay, I'll go back with you and let you be treated." ”

"Really? You promised me to treat you? The girl asked with a smile on her face, wiping her eyes again.

"Hmm." The young man nodded, wiped away the last tear for the girl, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Zhilan, and my grandfather said he picked me up on the bank of a creek and gave me that name." The girl pulled the young man back and said to him.

"Zhilan...... Anzhi Tinglan, this name is quite suitable for you. The young man smiled.

"What about you? What's your name? The girl looked at the youth.

After a moment's hesitation, the young man spoke softly, "My name is ...... Xu Ping. ”
