Chapter 60: Under the Cherry Blossom Tree That Day
"I've only been gone for a few days, and you've made her look like this! If I hadn't been invited to go far, you would have had to return the body of my only female disciple to me. Are you jealous that she cooks better than you, or are you jealous of her...... You're just jealous that her cooking is better than yours! ”
You Tian said innocently and distressedly: "I noticed that the little junior sister has always been bad at His Royal Highness King Qi, but she just thought that she ran downstairs to see the excitement, who knows which tendon she didn't match correctly, and actually helped him block a sword." I was shocked too! If you blame it all on me, it's fine, and I'll explain it to my sister when she wakes up. ”
"Okay, you're right! The girl is finally fine, and she doesn't care too much about you, but how much should you be held accountable for taking care of yourself? Qing Ming softened his tone: "There are many affairs in the Sword Immortal Sect, so there is no need to alarm your master." You see that I have worked hard to pick several rare herbs to use, how do you count? ”
You Tian's face turned pale: "You! You're really ...... You have calculated it! He turned around and lifted the basket of charges, "Okay, don't let my sister wake up and chill." Little junior sister, senior brother is going to collect medicine for you! You Tian glared at Qing Ming, and the last sentence was particularly loud. Qing Ming explained disapprerovingly: "Fifteen miles west, the live shallow grass under the cliff of the vast mountain has grown, you must remember to pick it back!" ”
Cao Ran heard the two arguing in her dream, and knew in her heart that it was the master who saved her, and the master could still remember his herbs, indicating that his injuries were no longer in trouble. Then he sank his eyes and fell asleep again.
It was noon when I woke up again, and the screaming outside the window was happy. There was no one around, she came to the courtyard with a faint pain in her chest, the sun was very strong, and under a cherry blossom tree in the courtyard, a young man in ink sat in front of a low bluestone table.
The young man held a cup of weak tea in his hand, and the pale pink light that pierced through the cherry blossom petals fell on him, he took a sip of tea, raised his eyes just to meet her dull gaze, and his mouth lifted a smile that was so perfect that he couldn't find the slightest flaw until the bottom of his eyes, so he was like a dream.
"The girl woke up. The sun is blazing, but do you want to sit under the tree? A casual polite word, but it has been echoing in her heart.
It wasn't until many years later that Cao Ran's first impression of him was this scene, when she woke up dimly, she saw a handsome young man in ink, reflecting the pink cherry blossoms under the cherry blossom tree, and the charming smile that bloomed from the corner of his mouth went straight to his deep and clear eyebrows, which made people can't help but laugh with him. She even remembered every ray of sunshine that sprinkled on him, that day, it was a rare good day.
Cao Ran's somewhat pale cheeks flushed, and she felt shy in the face of the young man's invitation. lowered his head to hide his gaze, and raised his eyes to regain most of his composure. With a smile on her face, she slowly walked under the cherry blossom tree and sat down opposite the young man.
The young man was dressed in inky homely clothes, with a dark silver-trimmed brocade ribbon for his hair, and there was no embellishment around him that could judge his identity. is just a perfect and handsome face, and the old ink-colored clothes are also eye-catching.
His voice was deep and magnetic, and he said with a bit of laziness: "It is not suitable for the girl to drink tea when she is injured at the beginning of her recovery, and it is rare for the pure dew of Chenshi to take this one, which has the effect of cleansing the body and turning dirt, and it is okay for the girl to drink some." The young man handed over a glass of hydrosol, and his skillful movements seemed to be a familiar old friend, making people close and not losing measure.
The moment the jade finger holding the tea inadvertently crossed Cao Ran's fingertips, Cao Ran slammed a glass of hydrosol with a cup of water! In a hurry, he only said "Be careful!" He grabbed the young man's hand that had not yet withdrawn and pulled it hard to the left side, and the young man turned around and wrapped her lightly in front of him. There was a sound of shattering, and a masked man in black swept over the low table, blinded by the teacup splashed by Cao Ran, and the shaking sword shadow swept away the utensils on the low table.
Before Cao Ran could calm down, after being taken around by the young man, seven or eight black-clothed people were already lying down beside him.
Before Cao Ran could catch his breath, he saw more than a dozen sword-wielding people rushing in outside the Moon Gate. Cao Ran untied the hand that the young man was holding on his waist and whispered: "I will work lightly, I can protect myself, you just have to worry about getting rid of them." ”
Without waiting for the young man to reply, he listened to the people who poured in to sink their long swords into the ground, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty: "My subordinates have been derelict in their duties, and the assassins have not been detected in time when they entered the palace, please punish Your Highness!" ”
Cao Ran was more glad than surprised when she saw this, and then she regretted a little that she shook off the young man's hand.
The young man ignored the person kneeling on the ground, looked at her meaningfully with lowered eyes, and said, "Oh? It seems that I underestimated the girl, and looking at the way the girl splashed the pure dew I had worked so hard to collect, I should know that the girl is skilled, but I don't know if the girl can stand the injury she is suffering now? ”
Cao Ran followed his gaze to herself, and fell to the bulge on her left chest, where bright red blood was spreading layer by layer under her snow-white clothes. At first glance, I felt a sharp pain in my chest, and I was afraid that the knife wound that had just stopped the bleeding had cracked again. Her lips gradually turned pale, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, "My light skills...... Very good. The young man in front of her looked shocked when she heard this, and then her vision went dark.
The magnetic voice of the young man came from his ears: "Ran! Ran! …… Go and call Qing Ming back! ”
I felt a chill in my chest, and the sharp pain gradually faded. Cao Ran slowly opened her eyes and saw a beautiful woman in Tsing Yi who only covered her belly pocket with a dark green medicine on her chest, and the beauty in Tsing Yi saw Cao Ran wake up, and smiled at her: "The girl is awake, and the doctor said that applying this medicine has a good effect of stopping bleeding and relieving pain." ”
Cao Ran slightly hooked the corners of her mouth in response, and raised her hand to put on her clothes, but she pulled the pain in her heart. The beautiful woman in Tsing Yi stopped her hand, "Don't move, the slave will help the girl bandage the wound first and then help the girl change her clothes." ”
Cao Ran had to obey her, watching her treat her wounds step by step, and asked, "The girl is a medical girl?" ”
The beauty in Tsing Yi chuckled and said: "The girl can call the slave Qixi, the slave is just an ordinary maid beside King Xuan, not a medical girl, but with King Xuan's expedition several times, she has dealt with not more than 10,000 injuries but also thousands, practice makes perfect." ”
The long silk went around the body one by one, and firmly fixed the green juice applied to the wound, and the hideous wound that could not be seen seemed to be much better. Cao Ran's voice suddenly raised and asked, "Are you from King Xuan's side?" So where am I now? What about my master? Before she fainted, she seemed to hear the people kneeling around her calling that young man His Royal Highness, it was either him or King Xuan!
"This is His Royal Highness's mansion, and His Royal Highness called out His Highness as soon as he prescribed medicine to the girl, and His Royal Highness ordered me to take care of the girl in the mansion to recuperate." Qixi helped her tie the last coat, suddenly remembered something, and said to her: "By the way, there is also a young man who came with you, and he has been waiting for you to wake up outside the door." The medicine he applied to you was also just picked up from the mountains, and the slave had never seen this kind of medicine, but the doctor said that he was very attentive to you, and he was willing to use any precious medicine on you. The slave also saw that his friendship with the girl was not ordinary, so why not let him come in later, and the girl would like to report peace to him in person? ”
Cao Ran was afraid that Qixi had misunderstood the relationship between the two, so she hurriedly explained: "Are you talking about Xiaotian? He is my senior brother, and he is also half of my little master, and he cares about me for the sake of the master's affection, eh...... In addition, he has not yet let the disciples of the medicine sect see the light skills he taught me to prove his ability, and ......"
"That's what you think of me!" You Tian suddenly pushed open the door and looked at Cao Ran, who had finished treating his wound and was leaning on the bedrail to explain to Qixi.
Qixi got up and bowed his head and bowed, and said, "The girl's injury has been treated, I'll go get some soup for the girl." ”
Cao Ran looked at Qixi's distant figure, and said in her heart: This Qixi is really a good girl, not to mention that she is beautiful, she can not only go out with the army to see the world, but also maintain the gentleness of a woman, such a girl is really rare. Blink of an eye at You Tian, who was slowly approaching, his handsome eyebrows were slightly frowned, although some of them were not deeply involved in the world and still needed to be trained in the rivers and lakes, but You Tian was also an all-round young man in all aspects. After comparing the two of them one after the other, I suddenly felt that the two were very compatible.
You Tian went to the table and poured a glass of warm water, walked to the bed and handed it to Cao Ran, his good-looking brows furrowed a little, and he asked with a gloomy gaze: "What you said just now is what you said in your heart?" ”
Cao Ran took the teacup, pondered and didn't know which sentence he was asking, recalled his words just now, and asked rhetorically, "What's wrong with Senior Brother Xiaotian?" Naturally, what I say is sincere. ”
You Tian's expression darkened even more, "Do you think I care about you because you are Uncle Shi's apprentice?" Or am I using you as a tool to prove myself? Do you know that Uncle Shi has many disciples, I have never cared about any of them, and my studies are also at the top of the list of disciples of the Sword Immortal Sect. ”
Cao Ran lowered his head and drank half a cup of warm tea, pursed his lips and nodded, and said, "Of course I know that Senior Brother Xiaotian has always taken care of me more than just taking care of my master, we have always gotten along so happily, and the friendship is still very deep. In my heart, in addition to being Senior Brother Xiaotian who made an exception to teach me light skills, you are also a life-saver for whom I am grateful. ”
Cao Ran looked at Xiaotian's face more gloomy the more he talked, thinking that maybe he didn't get to the point. After all, it was she who first told Qixi that their relationship was a bit worldly, and she understood that even if it was really just a secular set, she had to say that it was more about friendship, otherwise it would inevitably cool the hearts of the people listening to the corner! In fact, she really thinks that You Tian is a cold person, and the little enthusiasm for her is inherited from her master. For example, let a little woman who has just recovered from a catastrophe sleep in a tree for more than a month! Just this one thing, she would never believe that You Tian would have a special affection for her, let alone follow other people's speculations to be boring.
She drank all the remaining tea in the cup in one gulp, put the teacup into You Tian's hand, and forced a brighter smile on her pale face to make the two more friendly, "Senior Brother Xiaotian, I just heard my conversation with Qixi outside the door, and I was angry that you took care of me too worldly?" In fact, you came in before I finished my words to Qixi, and I wanted to say in the second half of the sentence that my senior brother was a person who valued affection and righteousness, and it was normal to take more care and care for my junior sister, and my junior sister had written it down, and I would definitely use the same heart to take care of and care for Senior Brother Xiaotian, which is all natural. So it seems to be a misunderstanding, Senior Brother Xiaotian really doesn't need to be angry. ”
raised his eyes to look at him in the sky, and there were affectionate eyes on his serious face.
