The woman took the little girl to scrub, change the dressing, feed the medicine, and feed the boy every day, and under the woman's careful conditioning and treatment, more than a month passed quickly.

"Mother, when will my brother wake up? The little girl held her little chin and ate the small red fruits picked by her mother when she went out to pick medicine, and looked at the young man lying motionless on the bed.

The boy had been lying on his stomach for more than a month, and the woman had changed his dressings, scrubbed, fed him daily and had recently begun to feed him liquid food. The abscesses on the boy's face and neck had healed, leaving many hideous scars. But the young man's breathing was obviously steady and long, and the complexion on his face was much more ruddy.

The woman advised, "It should be the last few days, Xiao'er, you guard your brother, and your mother goes out to pick some herbs." Remember to give my brother medicine after two hours. The meal is in the pot, remember to heat it up when you are hungry before eating. If there is anything, go to the neighbor Uncle Wang for help. ”

"Okay, don't worry, Xiao'er may have done it." The little girl patted her little chest and said proudly, still holding a small red fruit in her mouth.

Recently, every time her mother went out to collect medicine, she took care of her brother, and she felt extremely proud. It's just that her brother has been in a coma, and how she hopes that her brother will wake up soon.

The woman kissed the little girl and went out with the basket on her back. The little girl watched the back of her mother walking away, took a small bamboo stool and put it in front of the young man's bed, and went to get a medical book and read it carefully.

On an early summer morning, the warm sunlight shines through the windows into the cabin, and although the interior is simple, everything is clean and orderly, and it is unusually warm and peaceful. The air was filled with the faint scent of flowers and herbs, the crisp chirping of birds was long and graceful, and the occasional sound of chickens and dogs barking could be heard in the village.

The boy moved his fingers in his slumber, and he felt the harsh sunlight rushing towards him, which stimulated him to open his eyes with great difficulty.

What caught my eye was the warm sunlight in the room, and the little girl sitting quietly on the small bench looking down at the book and eating the little red fruit in the sunshine.

The boy looked around, and it was a simple and clean cabin. The house is fragrant with medicinal smells, quiet and tidy. He understood that he had escaped death and had been saved by a master.

The boy calmed down and looked carefully at the little girl who was looking down at the book.

The little girl is three or four years old, with two cute pigtails, big round eyes that are clear and pure like a transparent blue sky, a straight little nose, a small round face carved in pink and jade, vivid and lovely, lined with a water-green dress, like a jade carved person, extremely eye-catching.

The little girl seemed to sense that someone was watching her, and she raised her head in amazement and met the young man's slender phoenix eyes. The phoenix eyes are hidden under a row of straight and slender eyelashes, the gaze is deep, the divine light is flowing, and there is a faint proud extraordinary momentum.

The little girl was obviously stunned, then jumped up excitedly, threw herself on the side of the boy's bed and shouted happily: "Brother, brother, are you finally awake?" You were poisoned, it was my mother who saved you, and you have been in a coma for more than a month. Brother, do you want to drink water? Hungry? Is the wound still painful? ”

The boy was amused by the little girl's series of questions, he reached out his hand, touched the cute pigtails on the little girl's head, and asked softly, "Little sister, what is your name?" Who is your mother? ”

Although the boy's face was full of scars, for some reason, the little girl thought that this brother's smile was particularly beautiful. She had never seen a boy with such bright eyes and such an imposing appearance.

"My mother calls me Xiao'er, and everyone else calls me Aunt Mother. My mother is going to collect medicine for you, and I won't be back until later. ”

After the little girl finished speaking, she patted her little head and exclaimed, "Oh! My mother asked me to feed you medicine, and I almost forgot. ”

The little girl quickly ran to the stove, poured out the warm black medicinal juice from the medicine jar, carefully brought it to the bedside, blew it lightly, and then fed it to the young man little by little with a small wooden spoon to drink, and after feeding, she carefully wiped the medicinal juice from the corner of the young man's mouth with a clean handkerchief.

Finally, the little girl filled with some water and fed it to the boy.

The little boy saw the little girl serve him so wholeheartedly like a little adult, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

"Brother, how are you feeling, do you feel better?" Xiao'er carefully examined the young man's face, helped him tuck the quilt corner, and asked cautiously.

"Much better, thank you, Xiao'er." The boy smiled, and although he still felt weak, the pain and dizziness that he had felt in his bone marrow were gone.

"You're welcome." The little girl giggled, and her smile was like the warm sunshine of spring, which warmed the boy's heart.

How long has it been since I've been lying so peacefully? Since he was born, it seems that he has not slept a single peaceful sleep, and has lived every moment in calculation and being calculated, all kinds of vicious ridicule.

He looked at the sunlight outside the window, remembering the more than ten years he had lived hard, and a sad feeling welled up in his eyes.

"Brother, I told you my name, so what's your name?" When the little girl was done, she moved the stool to the side of the boy's bed, and asked, holding her little chin.

The little girl's big black eyes looked at the boy with a smile, as crystal as a pink carved jade, and she was particularly smart and cute.

The young man was stunned, and replied casually: "My surname is Mu, and my name is nine!" "Jiu'er" is his milk name, because he was born on the ninth day of the ninth month of September.

"Then can I call you Brother Jiu? Are you the ninth in line? Do you have many older siblings? It's a pity that my mother only gave birth to me. The little girl began to ask questions again, with a curious look on her face.

The young man smiled and asked, "Hehe, then will I be your brother?" ”

"Really?" The little girl was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Are you really willing to be my brother?" ”

Seeing that the young man nodded, the little girl clapped her hands happily and shouted, "Xiao'er finally has a brother." The little girl giggled happily, and the room was filled with cheerful vibes.

"What about your father? The boy asked, looking around. Such a cute and lively little girl must have a happy home, right? The boy thought.

"Father?" The little girl was stunned, her face darkened, and she replied in a low voice: "Brother Jiu, Xiao'er has no father, only a mother. Xiao'er asked her mother where her father was, and her mother said that her father went out hunting when Xiao'er was very young and never came back. The children in Baihua Village laughed at me for being a wild child who picked it up. But I know that I also have a father. ”

The boy was speechless for a while, and he didn't know what to say. I had to comfort the little girl: "Maybe one day, your father will come back to you." ”

"Yes! Originally, Xiao'er thought so too, so she went to the village every day to look forward to it. But wait, wait, wait, my father still didn't come back. The mother and Xiao'er said that it was enough for Xiao'er to have the love of her mother. Xiao'er actually hopes that her father can come back. The little girl replied sadly, and the bean-sized tears fell down her little face one by one, looking very pitiful.

Shao Young comforted in a voice: "Xiao'er will grow up quickly, and when you grow up, he will come back." ”

"Hmm." The little girl nodded firmly, wiped the tears from her face, and burst into laughter.

Footsteps sounded outside, and the young man's slender phoenix eyes looked at the door vigilantly and sharply.

"Xiao'er, my brother has just woken up, so let my brother have a good rest. A gentle voice sounded at the door, and at the door of the hut stood a beautiful woman who had returned from collecting medicine.

Although the woman was wearing coarse cloth clothes, her appearance was extremely beautiful, and her temperament was dusty, and she didn't look like a woman in the mountains and villages at all, but like a cultivator who lived in seclusion in the deep mountains and old forests.

There was a confused and thoughtful look in the young man's eyes.

"Xiao'er, the fifth brother is sick, you can send some medicinal herbs to Uncle Wang's family." The woman took out a basket and filled it with some herbs and said to the little girl.

"Okay." The little girl happily lifted the basket and jumped out of the door, looking at the back of the little girl leaving, the young man lowered his gaze and hid the sharp edge in his eyes.

The young man said: "In Xia Mujiu, may I ask my aunt who is superior, I am grateful for saving me." When you have the ability, you will be rewarded. The boy struggled to get up, but his strength was exhausted, his body was limp, and he didn't need any strength.

"Aunt Yamanomura, don't worry about it." The beautiful woman stretched out her hand, and a force came up, and the boy lay down again.

The beautiful woman smiled slightly, as if a hundred flowers were blooming, and there was a kind of beauty out of the dust: "It is fate to save you, and when your body heals, it is the time when fate ends, and it is not enough to worry about it." ”

After the woman finished speaking, she pondered, "I see that the poison in you is a long-lost poisonous peach blossom drunk, and you are now poisonous. I can only control it temporarily, not cure it. To be healed, unless...... ”

The young man's slender phoenix eyes looked at the woman with burning eyes.

"Shangshu Mountain, Xi Xiandao. The woman pondered for a moment before she said, "Now the toxin has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, endangering the heart and lungs, and in less than ten years, it will definitely endanger your life." ”

The young man's eyes darkened, and his face showed a look of extreme disappointment.

The woman also said: "The immortal method of the Shushan Immortal Gate is very clever, and the "Heart Sutra for Changing Bones" practiced by its head may help you remove toxins from your body. But whether it can be completely eliminated depends on your own chance. ”

"Mu Jiu understands, thank you aunt for mentioning it." The young man's eyes lit up with anger, and he said gratefully.

The woman nodded and said, "Take care of your injuries first, don't be in a hurry, and it's not too late for me to help you control the toxin before leaving." ”

"Thank you, Auntie." The young man was sincere and grateful, and a glimmer of hope sprouted in his heart.

The woman came over and carefully covered the quilt for the young man: "You have just woken up, and you need a few days of rest before you can get out of bed and walk around." Don't be in a hurry, I will help you with acupuncture later, don't worry. ”

The boy nodded, and for a moment he was at ease, his mind was exhausted, and in a moment he fell back into a deep sleep.
