For the next few days, the two remained uneventful, and it was the fifteenth day. Xu Muyao has a rule that she will go to the town to practice medicine on the fifteenth day of the new year, and if you want to find her at other times, you must come to the mountains.

Early that morning, Shen Muyao packed up her things and prepared to go down the mountain, and Xiao Heng got up earlier and was practicing swords in the courtyard. He didn't have many skin injuries, mainly hitting his head when rolling down the trail, and he had to take good care of it. His sword flew like a wild snake, and the sword pierced through the sky, with a fierce momentum, and the young man's sword eyebrows and starry eyes were even more handsome in that fierceness.

Xu Muyao was also fascinated by the young man's sword intent for two points, and then turned around: "Early." ”

Xiao Heng also saw her at this time, and nodded: "Miss Shen is early." Where is this going? ”

Shen Muyao said: "On the fifteenth day of the new year, I went down the mountain to practice medicine, do you want Xiao Gongzi to be together?" ”

Xiao Heng originally had no intention of going down the mountain, after all, no matter which city or town he went to, he might have his second brother's eyeliner. can see Shen Muyao carrying a big medicine box on her back, I don't know if it's safe on the road, and frowned: "I'll go with you." ”

Shen Muyao frowned when she saw him, thinking that he was unwilling in her heart, and said, "If Xiao Gongzi doesn't want to go, don't force it." Your wounds are not yet healed, and it is difficult for me to be strong. ”

Xiao Heng shook his head: "I didn't mean that, I just thought that if something happened to you on the road, I could help some." ”

Shen Muyao said: "Childe seems to care about me very much? ”

Xiao Heng was a little bit seen through his thoughts, and his face was embarrassed. It's terrible that Shen Muyao is not safe alone, but she still keeps up with her.

It takes a long time to descend the mountain, and the mountain road is rugged, and it takes three or four hours. Shen Muyao almost fell down several times, but Xiao Heng would always help her in time. While crossing a section of the mountain forest, Shen Muyao was tripped by a mass of tree roots under her feet and threw herself forward. Xiao Heng's heart tightened, and he grabbed her arm violently, pulled her back, and hit him on the chest. The two of them were next to each other, and they could hear each other's rapid heartbeats and breathing. Both of them blushed, and Shen Muyao quickly pushed Xiao Heng away, lowered her head, blushed, and said, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Heng originally blushed, but when he thought of something, he frowned again: "You usually go down the mountain, are you so reckless?" I don't know how much she suffered when he was away, and she was faintly angry.

Shen Muyao hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, I'm usually very careful." It's just that today is the first time that someone has protected her and walked with her, and the tension in her heart is so embarrassing repeatedly.

The two returned to silence. It was almost noon when they reached the town at the foot of the mountain. It was the day of the market, and people came and went on the street, and the sound of selling was endless, as if it had fallen into the smoke and fire in an instant. Shen Muyao knocked on a courtyard familiarly, and a woman opened the door: "Yo, it's Miss Shen, come in, come in." She looked up and saw Xiao Heng, a little surprised: "Who is this ......?"

Shen Muyao entered the hospital: "This is one of my patients, he was injured a little, I left him on the mountain to let him recuperate for a while." ”

The woman nodded, and with a "I know" smile on her face.

Xiao Heng: "......"

It was already noon, and the woman asked Shen Muyao to eat first and then go to the doctor. Shen Muyao once saved the life of this young son, and in order to repay it, the family lent the yard to Shen Muyao when she went down the mountain to practice medicine. Sitting and waiting for food is always too much, Shen Muyao took the initiative to help with the dishes and chopsticks. Xiao Heng was still not at ease with her recklessness when she went down the mountain, and took over the stack of dishes and chopsticks: "I'll come." ”

When he took it, he touched her hand. Her hands were soft, her fingertips were slightly cold, and she was suddenly bored again. Shen Muyao was originally not a reckless person, but today she repeatedly made a fool of herself in front of Xiao Heng, and was misunderstood by him as such a reckless and careless person, so she was ashamed and angry, so she simply didn't want to pay attention to him.

Xiao Heng looked at her departing back, and slowly typed a question mark in her heart: ?

What's wrong with the girls now??

Until after eating, Shen Muyao was about to practice medicine, and she didn't pay attention to Xiao Heng anymore. One after another, people came to see the doctor, and Shen Muyao sat in the courtyard and helped people take the pulse and catch the medicine. She is very gentle, will talk to children softly, and will patiently explain to the elderly how to boil medicine. She was dressed in plain clothes and white clothes, and the simple wooden hairpin pulled up three thousand green silks, and she smiled and spoke so softly, like an immortal in the sky.

There were more people slowly, and Shen Muyao was busy. Xiao Heng saw that she was busy, and also stepped forward to help hand over something. Shen Muyao was a little embarrassed when she saw him come to help, but she really couldn't tell her background, so she had to be helped by him. One of the two of them saw a doctor, and the other helped to take the medicinal herbs and deliver things, and the cooperation was quite natural. Some people saw it and ridiculed a few words: "Where did Miss Shen turn on a handsome man?" Shen Muyao shook her head in a panic and denied it, her face flushed a little redder.

By the afternoon, there was a dwindling number of talents. After seeing the last lady and taking the medicine, Shen Muyao was ready to pack up and go back. The woman from before sent them to the door, her eyes rolled around the two of them twice, and she smiled kindly: "Miss Shen is really blessed!" ”

Shen Muyao's blush, which had finally disappeared, rose again. The two of them said goodbye to the woman and walked down the avenue of the town, without saying a word. After a long time, Shen Muyao said, "That, Aunt Dao and those people, didn't mean it. You, don't take it personally. ”

Xiao Heng nodded. After passing a small stall, he glanced at it, the stall was for buying jewelry, and the hairpin looked like it was not as luxurious as the palace, but it was also exquisite.

Among them, the crane-style hairpin is particularly suitable for Shen Muyao. He pursed his lips and said, "Miss Shen, then, do you want to buy a few pieces of jewelry?" ”

Shen Muyao didn't expect him to have the intention of buying jewelry for himself, and was a little surprised, and said, "No need, I live alone, no one looks at it, and everything I wear is the same." ”

Xiao Heng is a little pity, that hairpin is a perfect match for Shen Muyao. Shen Muyao had already walked forward, but he still couldn't put his mind at ease, so he bought the hairpin and put it in his arms.

When they arrived at their residence, it was already evening, and they didn't have time to eat, so Shen Muyao cooked two bowls of noodles and said, "I won't cook too late, can I simply eat some noodles?" ”

Xiao Heng nodded and said, "How can it be so delicate, it's very good to have something to eat." ”

Shen Muyao listened to his words, only to find that he didn't seem to be doing well before, and couldn't help but ask: "Are you ......" When the words came to his mouth, he felt a little inappropriate, and after thinking for a while, he swallowed the words again. Xiao Heng saw her thoughts, and smiled indifferently: "I was born to my mother-in-law, and after my biological mother died, my father handed me over to my mother-in-law to raise, and my mother-in-law didn't like me very much." He didn't say the rest of the words, she also knew, Shen Muyao suddenly felt a little distressed, but she didn't know what to say, and the comfort was not silent, so she could only pick up his bowl of noodles: "I, I'll add an egg to you." He hurried away.

Xiao Heng looked at her departing back and shook her head amusedly. Since he was sent out of the palace, he no longer cared about those things. This is the first time he has been cared for because of these things, and a hot current wells up in his heart.

Shen Muyao brought noodles again, and there was a poached egg floating on one of the bowls. She didn't dare to look at Xiao Heng, and lowered her head: "That, I didn't mean to poke your sore spot......"

Xiao Heng smiled: "I didn't take it to heart, and you don't have to blame yourself." He put his poached egg in her bowl again: "I don't need to, you are tired of the day today, eat more." ”

Shen Muyao didn't want to push and drag anymore, so she gently took a bite of the poached egg and said, "Thank you." ”

On a cool spring night, he sat next to her, smiling and watching her eat noodles in small bites. Thinking of her actions just now, my heart warmed again: it feels good to be cared for.
