"Sister-" The five-year-old boy tugged at her sleeve and coquettishly.

"It's useless to beg me, the pocket money my mother gave me should be kept to sell medicinal herbs." Taller than the little boy, she crossed her waist with one hand and let her sleeve be grabbed by her brother with the other.

"But...... The new pastries of the Xu family are really delicious. His voice lowered, "The herbs are so bitter......

She rolled her eyes, looked at her poor brother, and suddenly laughed: "As long as you stay at home obediently in the future and don't run out and get hurt, I will exchange the money for making ointment for you for pastries, do you agree?" ”

The little boy was a little weak-hearted, knowing that the ointment he usually wore was made by his sister, but ...... He felt his swollen belly, and the smell of pastry remained in his mouth.

I still want to eat it.

In front of freedom and deliciousness, the little boy frowned, and a tangled look appeared on his round little face. Over there, she continued to induce: "Huh? Stay at home and play with your sister, and my sister will teach you how to make pastries, okay? ”

His eyes lit up, and the chick nodded like a peck of rice, and pulled the corners of his mouth to smile, revealing a gap in his front teeth.

"Sister is the best, Yu'er likes Sister the most!" A small piece of silver, the little boy hugged her waist and giggled. She touched the top of the little boy's head, and for no reason she was in a trance.

The little boy motioned for her to bow her head, and she leaned her ear to his mouth, not knowing what he was going to whisper to herself. The little boy was covered with the sweet smell of pastries, and he pressed to her ear, and the sound of his breathing made her itch.

"Sister—" She heard him say.

"You have to live well."

Her pupils shrank, and she pushed him away suddenly, and the next moment the scenery in front of her suddenly changed, and the feeling of falling without support made her very uneasy. On the cliff, the boy smiled at her, tears glistening in his ridiculous eyes. He said something, but she couldn't hear it anymore.

"Yu'er!"

She cried out miserably, and sat up suddenly. Two lines of tears slid down his face, dripping on the quilt around his waist and making a dull and subtle sound.

Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of her, she was stunned for a long time, she didn't have time to think about where this was, and all that came to her mind was the tearful smile of the young man.

Yu'er, why are you so ruthless and leave your sister alone in the world.

She wrapped herself around herself, cowered in the corner, and buried her face in her knees. There was a dull pain in both shoulders, as if he was still in the dark dungeon, and Yu'er had not yet arrived.

Tang Fang pushed the door in and saw this scene. She looked at the girl who was cowering in the corner, her eyes were a little worried, but she could see that the girl was not in a good state, so she didn't make a sound, and gently led the door back to the courtyard.

"Ah Fang, how is the girl?" A woman in cloth in her forties, who stopped rubbing twine, saw her daughter withdraw, and deliberately restrained her loud voice for fear of disturbing the guests.

He walked out of his room, his head still steaming, and he held an empty pottery bowl in his hand. Hearing his mother ask, he also stopped and waited for his sister's answer.

Seeing the awkward appearance of his eldest brother who wanted to hear it and didn't want to stay long, Tang Fang couldn't help laughing and said softly: "I'm already awake, but I don't look very good...... I didn't dare to get closer, so I withdrew. "The eldest brother, who originally said that it would take two days to enter the mountain, just went out yesterday morning, and came back early in the afternoon, with a bloodstained embarrassed woman. At that time, she and her mother were frightened, and thought that their eldest brother had encountered some vendetta scene.

When she helped to clean the girl's body, she did not dare to wipe it vigorously when she looked at the scarred body and the delicate face without blood, for fear that the wounds would crack open if she was not careful. After listening to the eldest brother's explanation, knowing that this woman was rescued from the cold pool, even if she was worried about the disaster that this beautiful woman might cause, she couldn't help but feel pity.

"I'm making some medicine for the wound, and there's some ginger soup on the stove, and you'll warm it up and send it to the girl later." In the evening, I will help her clean up the wound when the wound medicine is ready......" Tan Rong couldn't go on as he spoke, and he was a little embarrassed when he looked at his sister, but he didn't know why.

"I know, I know, I'm going to hot ginger soup, why are you nagging more than the eldest sister......" snatching the bowl from his hand, Yu Fang chuckled and ran to the kitchen.

"This kid doesn't look like a girl all day long!" Mother laughed and scolded in a low voice, shook her head and continued to rub the hemp rope.

Glancing at the house opposite, he raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, the bitter fragrance of the herbs between his fingers and the smell of ginger made him suddenly recall the scene of yesterday. At that time, he was gathering cold star grass at the bottom of the cliff, a medicinal herb that can ice wounds to relieve pain.

He was earnest, and the sound of falling water came from behind him, followed by a faint roar, and the entire bottom of the cliff trembled, and some gravel rolled down at his feet. Through the heavy water vapor above, he didn't know what was happening above, and when he saw the blood stains on the surface of the cold pool and the figure that was floating and floating, he put down the basket without thinking about it, took off his clothes and shoes and jumped down.

Thanks to the fact that his home was not far from the bottom of the cliff, he wrapped his coat around the rescued girl, and rushed home with a basket on his back, and picked a lot of medicinal materials that could heal injuries along the way.

The girl was unconscious and still crying, and she was still thinking about something. He was at a loss for what to do, so he could only speed up the pace of going home.

"Big brother, Sister Li has sent a lot of things-" Tang Fang chirped, pulled out a pink wide-sleeved long skirt and looked at it over and over, and the love in her eyes couldn't be stopped.

"Wow - this forehead wipe must be for the mother, and these two children's clothes must be for the two leather monkeys of the eldest sister's family......" She turned out the contents of the package and laid them out one by one. When she flipped to the last item, she was stunned. He took out the cloth bag-like thing, and the long dark blue belt looked like it was holding some kind of strip...... She thought about it, her eyes drifted to the knife that her eldest brother often used, and suddenly realized.

"This should be specially prepared for you by Sister Li...... "Farmers generally use knives without sheaths, even if they are careful, they will occasionally cut themselves.

Tang Fang smiled teasingly, stuffed the cloth pocket into the arms of the eldest brother on the side, and hugged his new skirt and went stupidly. But he didn't notice that his eldest brother had an ugly face after getting the package back.

Dad died in a hurry ten years ago, the burden of the family pressed on him too early, he worked outside for many years, and he had already tasted the warmth and coldness of personnel, which made him more sensitive than ordinary people. Judging from the things sent by Miss Li these few times, she is more like she is returning favors.

The favor is gone, so it's about a clear line, right?

He knew that Miss Li's life experience was by no means simple, and not long after Miss Li left, a few immortals came here to secretly inquire about the whereabouts of a young woman, and only left in a hurry after hearing that the elders of Lan Ruogong had taken her away.

His mouth was bitter, and he couldn't help laughing at his delusions. He was just an ordinary person who couldn't cultivate, and she was so talented that she became a disciple of the palace master of Lan Ruo Palace. It's been a world of difference for a long time, hasn't it?

Tang Rong returned to his room in despair, and opened a small wooden box that was hidden by himself, and there was a jade orchid that had withered for a long time.

He watched quietly for a long time, but in the end he could only sigh and put the box back in its place.
