His father's withered and thin hands, the cold and ruthless iron soldiers, the sharp stabbing sound of the battle filled his ears, and the fiery shadow of a woman trapped him in his dreams over and over again. He kept running and running, trying to escape, but suddenly his feet were empty and he fell into the abyss.

He woke up suddenly.

What caught my eye was a thatched roof, and when I sat up, I realized that it was a hut.

Very simple house, clean and tidy, you can see that the owner of the house is a clean person. From the outside, a sea-like gardenia spreads to the edge of the small lake.

It's a pity that the beautiful scenery can't soothe that panicked heart. He has been tightening a string, not letting go of the slightest wind and grass. Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and he jerked his head back and stared at the outer door. The man pushed open the door, turned to the front of the room, and lifted the curtains—

A figure hiding by the door suddenly burst out, a strong arm clamping the man's arm, and a sharp dagger in the other hand against the man's neck: "Who are you?" Where is this? ”

A fresh floral fragrance came to his nose, and he realized that it was a girl, and she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. The girl didn't panic at all, and replied calmly: "This is the outskirts of Jiangxia City, I am just a civilian medical woman, three generations of doctors, at the foot of the mountain encountered a seriously injured son, it is difficult to see death without help, so I came to help." ”

He was still uneasy: "How do you prove that you are not harmless to me?" ”

The girl smiled: "I want to think that the son is the fallen son of a rich family, but I didn't expect it to be so dull." If I want to harm my son, why should I save you? Wouldn't it be nice to go down with a knife and give you a good time. If Childe still doesn't believe it, he will kill me with a knife, but in this wilderness, it will be difficult to find another doctor to treat your serious injury. ”

After she said this, Xiao Heng reacted and quickly let go of his hand, but the dagger was still held tightly in his hand. He saluted slightly: "In Xia Xiao Heng, I offended the girl, and I hope the girl will forgive me." ”

The girl put the medicine bowl in her hand on the table, and then he felt that his whole body was like a fire, and his head was even more painful. The girl looked up at him: "Come and drink the medicine." ”

He didn't say much, he finished with a mouthful, and the bitterness was surging, I don't know whether it was bitter in his mouth or bitter in his heart.

The girl frowned when she saw him, knowing that the medicine was bitter, and handed him a piece of candy: "Come, eat it and you'll be fine." ”

Xiao Heng listened to her tone like coaxing a child, and the bitterness couldn't help but dilute a little. He took the sugar and put it in his mouth. When the girl saw that he was all right, she turned and left. He remembered something again and asked, "Thank you for saving the girl's life, I wonder if the girl can tell her name and repay it in the next day." ”

The girl lifted the door curtain: "My name is Shen Muyao, there is no need to repay it, just heal the injury and leave." ”

After a while, the strength of the medicine dissipated, and he became sleepy, and fell back to sleep on the couch. The fragrance of gardenias outside the window came faintly, and he was soothed by the fragrance and dreamless.
