Thousand Thousand Knots: Volume 3 Thousand Thousand Knots: Chapter 15: Flowers in the Snow
A long hair fell from the comb, Yao Mubai twisted it around his fingers, and the melancholy in his heart turned into infinite tenderness: Am I just an elder brother to you? Do you know that you are my angel, you are my dream, and you are the person I want to protect for the rest of my life! No one knows where you stand in my heart, just as no one knows how much I love you. With my identity and a person like me, how can I fall in love with you? What can I do except hide my heart, except to hide my deep love? If it is not allowed to love you, then let me stay by your side forever as an older brother until I reach the end of my life.
Tears fell on the snow and melted a little of the falling snow.
"Mu Bai, why are you crying?" Su Wanyan's voice was warm and loving.
"Auntie...... You're back. Yao Mubai wiped his eyes, very uncomfortable, "I didn't cry." ”
"Cher is naughty again? Where is she? ”
"It's not. She went out with Hanchuan. ”
"Why is that? Would you like to talk to me? ”
"I'm fine."
"It's okay. If it's Cher's reason, you can tell me about it. ”
"It's nothing to do with my sister, really."
"Sister? Mu Bai, you don't have to hint at anything. It's true that Cher is your sister, but she can't be a sister, can she? ”
Yao Mubai's face flushed: "I didn't mean that." ”
Su Wanyan shook off the snow on the plum tree, looked at the snowy sky and said, "Mu Bai, the most difficult thing for people to look at is love. It's yours, and no one can take it away. It's not yours, and it's useless to force it. You don't have to worry about it, just follow your heart and just go with the flow. ”
Yao Mubai lowered his head, as if he had made a big mistake.
"It's not a sin to like someone. You treat Cher very well, and we are all very relieved. I just hope that in the future, no matter what kind of fate you two have, you will protect her like you do now. ”
Yao Mubai was in a complicated mood and didn't know how to respond.
"Let's not talk about that yet. Have you ever heard your grandfather mention a mysterious prescription? ”
"I haven't heard of it. What's wrong? ”
"That's weird. Why did Xiao Yueru say that there was? ”
"Xiao Yueru? Hankawa's mother? ”
"That's her. The other day, she told me to buy a prescription, and I thought she was joking. Unexpectedly, she called us out early this morning, saying that she was willing to pay a high price for all our prescriptions. We don't open a pharmacy now, it's useless to keep the prescription, and it's best to sell it for money. Originally, the two sides had negotiated the price, but later the negotiation collapsed because of a prescription. ”
"What is it?"
"I don't know. Xiao Yueru said yes, but her grandfather denied it. However, according to my observations, Xiao Yueru doesn't seem to be talking nonsense without evidence. So, I found an excuse to sneak back and find out if there was any. ”
"If so, would you sell it?"
"Of course not. Since grandpa doesn't want to sell, there is a reason why he doesn't want to sell. How could I sell it for money? I just want to know what's so amazing about that recipe, but my grandfather didn't tell me, and he hid it from me for so many years. Have you told anyone about Xue'er inheriting her grandfather's medical skills? ”
"How can I talk nonsense about such a big thing!" Yao Mubai was nervous, "Could it be that this recipe has something to do with Twilight?" ”
"Think about it, who does grandpa love the most in his life? He really has this method, can he not tell Cher? Once Xiao Yueru knew that Xue'er had inherited her grandfather's mantle, she would definitely make up her mind. When the time comes, it will be another trouble. ”
"Except for the people in our family, no one knows that she understands medical skills, including Hanchuan."
"Then I'll be relieved." Su Wanyan went to the pharmacy and rummaged around, "Let's not look for it." If it was a secret ingredient, Grandpa wouldn't have put it here. She closed the door of the pharmacy and said, "That's it for now, and when Grandpa wants to say something, he will tell us." ”
"I see. Then I'll do something. ”
"Go ahead. I'll make lunch, and you don't care. Su Wanyan didn't come up with a reason, so she simply didn't bother to bother with her brain anymore and began to tidy up the housework.
The road was slippery in the cold weather, Xiao Duxue and Ye Hanchuan chased and played, and fell a lot along the way. When they arrived at the wild maple forest, the two of them were covered with slush, and they could no longer see the color of their clothes.
Xiao Duxue dusted off the snow on her body, and thought about finding a rabbit nest: "I heard grandpa say that in such weather, little rabbits are reluctant to come out, and one is caught." ”
"What are you doing catching rabbits? Eating meat? ”
"Whoever is like you, knows how to eat. Be careful that I eat you before I eat them. ”
"And what do you want to do?"
"I just want to see if grandpa is right, and by the way, catch two and go back to play with them."
"The rabbit is spared." Ye Hanchuan pointed to the white mountain and said, "The pheasant is almost the same." It's not interesting to catch a pheasant and roast it here. ”
"No fires are allowed here, and you can only think about it." Xiao Duxue knocked on a branch here and there, but still found nothing. "Where are these guys hiding?"
Ye Hanchuan followed behind, drawing a scoop according to the gourd, but the stick in his hand was a little thicker: "They are not as stupid as you, they know that they are in danger of being caught, and they are still dangling in front of people." ”
Suddenly, the soles of Xiao Duxue's feet slipped and rolled down the hillside. Ye Hanchuan exclaimed, rushed over and wanted to catch her, but after all, it was slow. The two of them rolled down the hill and into the valley like balls.
Xiao Duxue's body hit the tree, and she almost broke out of breath in pain. Ye Hanchuan was better than her, grabbed a bush of thorns and stopped: "Twilight snow!" How are you? He had just stood up when he fell to the ground with a thud.
"Slow down! Still don't think you fell hard enough? Xiao Duxue rubbed her head and sat up, "I'm fine." ”
Ye Hanchuan pulled her to look here, look there, and let go after making sure she wasn't hurt: "Stinky girl, you want to scare me to death!" ”
Xiao Duxue folded her hands and prayed sincerely: "The gods, goblins and ancestors who live here, I am just passing by, not intentionally disturbing, don't be surprised, don't be surprised!" ”
"Why? God babble. ”
"Grandpa said that if you go to a place where you shouldn't go, you have to sue and ask for forgiveness."
"Grandpa is really amazing!"
"Hey! Say I'm fine, don't say my grandpa! Some of the old man's sayings should be listened to occasionally. It's better to believe it. Do you understand? ”
"I don't understand, and I don't want to." Ye Hanchuan patted off the snow on his body and looked around.
"I'm too lazy to tell you." Xiao Duxue rubbed her sore shoulders and began to hunt for treasure.
The snow is vast, the mountains are wrapped in plain, and it is completely impossible to see that there was a pool of clear water and ten thousand trees and red flowers here. Suddenly, a little red cinnabar like the forehead of a beauty caught my eyes without saying anything. "Huh?" Xiao Duxue used her feet to remove the snow above, and a flower with long and narrow petals like a willow, the leaves were green like blue, and the flower was as red as a flame in front of her, and the one next to it had not yet bloomed. "What kind of flower is this? It's beautiful! ”
Ye Hanchuan touched the leaves of the flower: "In such a cold season, there are still flowers blooming, it's really rare!" ”
Xiao Duxue was fascinated: "It's so beautiful! I'm going to plant it in front of my window. ”
Ye Hanchuan began to dig the soil, and stopped after a while: "It's amazing!" The two are actually connected. ”
"I don't know if it's good to feed. How about digging one plant and going back, and then digging another one after planting? ”
"Okay! If you plant this one alive, that one will be mine. ”
"You're a big man, what kind of flowers do you plant? I've got it all. ”
"No! One plant per person. You don't know how to raise flowers, so you might as well give them all to me. ”
"I don't know how to raise it, so won't my grandfather? One plant per person, one plant per person. Cheapskate! ”
"Good things to share!"
The two dug up the one that was in full bloom, leaving the one that was almost budding, and dug up some soil to wrap the roots of the flower firmly, climbed up along the road that rolled down, and returned the same way. The whole process is the same, and no one looks up at the heights. If they were not so excited when they saw the flower, they could easily see that one step away from the flower was directly below the stone on which they used to sit.
It's past dinner when I get home. Xiao Duxue rummaged everywhere, and finally found a satisfactory flower pot.
Su Shi'an tapped the edge of the flower pot with his cane and asked, "If you don't go to eat, what are you tossing here?" ”
Xiao Duxue said as if offering a treasure: "Grandpa, look, I found it on the mountain with Hanchuan." Isn't it pretty? ”
Su Shi'an squinted at the flower, as if he had seen it somewhere, and couldn't remember it for a while. "What's the name of this flower? Why did I forget? ”
"Forget it, forget it, I'll plant it first."
Yao Mubai stood at the door of the kitchen with the soup: "I heard your voice from afar, and I didn't come in to eat for a long time." Why don't you drink some soup to warm up. ”
Xiao Duxue held up her two clay hands, and smiled as if flattering: "Sure enough, my brother loves me the most!" ”
Yao Mubai fed her the soup slowly, and whispered, "Go and change your clothes, like a mud monkey." ”
Xiao Duxue bared her teeth and made a head-killing motion. Before she put her hand down, Xiao Lanshu stepped out of the study door with the book: "Mu Bai, you can't always be so used to her, be careful of suffering one day." ”
Yao Mubai smiled and said, "How come? Twilight is a good boy. ”
There was no smile on Xiao Lanshu's face: "Good boy? With a good kid like her? It's so wild that you can't see a human figure all day. Did you memorize the book I asked you to memorize last night? ”
"I'm familiar with it."
"All?"
"All."
Xiao Lanshu glanced at Xiao Duxue's uncomfortable hand, and his tone softened: "Okay, just memorize it, wash your hands and eat." In the future, you have to go home on time, and you can't be unruly. ”
"Oh." Xiao Duxue pursed her lips, pointed to the flower pot and said, "Can I plant the flowers before eating?" ”
Xiao Lanshu waved his hand and went into the study again.
Xiao Duxue made a big grimace and walked away with the flower pot.
The red flowers are waving in the wind. Su Shi'an was inexplicably frightened.
Is it because it's too cold?
PS: What is the origin of the unknown flower in the snow? Guess what, will it bring good luck or bad luck?
