The medicinal herbs in the recipe can all be bought at Chen's Medical Center.

But Hu Dong didn't let Lan Xiaoqing pay, he planned to pay out of his own pocket.

Lan Xiaoqing didn't let me: "I made it to give it away, and I can't ask you to break the bank." ”

Hu Dong frowned slightly: "But this is quite troublesome to do, isn't it okay to use the kind of mosquito-repellent herb sachet I gave you?" I can help you do as much as you want. ”

Lan Xiaoqing's eyebrows frowned: "It's okay for us to use the sachet on weekdays, but if I want to give it away, I still think the incense will be more appropriate." ”

Hu Dong listened carefully to what Lan Xiaoqing said, and nodded: "Okay, I understand." However, if you want to glue it, you need elm bark, which is not sold in this shop, but we have it in the mountains. ”

"Then I'll go to the mountains and pick it up, and you tell me how to do it. It's best if you can copy this recipe for me. ”

Hu Dong smiled: "It's useless to copy it to you, this recipe only records the required raw materials, but there is no production process." ”

"What then?" Lan Xiaoqing scratched her head, "It's almost August, my time is running out, I don't have time to experiment and explore slowly." ”

Hu Dong looked at her with a smile: "You messed up your hair." It doesn't matter if you don't, I probably will, and I should be able to do it after one try. ”

"Really? That's great. Lan Xiaoqing suddenly felt that Hu Dong was a little omnipotent, and she couldn't help but praise Hu Dong, "Brother Dongzi, you are very powerful." ”

Hu Dong smiled suddenly, his smile was a little shy: "It's good if I can help you, I'll go home the day after tomorrow, you just wait for me to go back at home, but don't go up the mountain alone." ”

"Don't worry, I won't go up the mountain alone, how boring it is to be alone."

Two days later, Hu Dong really returned to Stone Village.

When Hu Dong went to Lan's house, Lan Xiaoqing was still sleeping.

got up and ate casually, and put on a random set of clothes, Lan Xiaoqing was about to go out.

When Lan Saburo saw it, he grabbed her and whispered, "You're wearing this?" It's a girl's family, so you don't want to dress up pretty every day. ”

Lan Xiaoqing slept full, was in a good mood, and touched her face in a pretended manner:

"Am I not naturally beautiful enough? You don't need clothes to set it off. Besides, I go up the mountain to find something, not to play, who goes to the mountain and doesn't wear the worst clothes? Do you still wear the best, how many pieces are not bad enough! ”

Lan Saburo frowned tightly: "I just said a word." ”

Lan Xiaoqing: "...... There is only one thing I want to express. ”

"Actually, I'm trying to say that you can occasionally think a little bit about making a good impression on other people."

"Brother Dongzi has a good impression of me, isn't it, Brother Dongzi?"

"yes. Qingqing is also very good like this. ”

Lan Saburo: "Huh...... When did you come. ”

"Let's go, Brother Dongzi."

"Well, don't bring the frame, I'll carry it."

"Let's take it with you, maybe you can pick some mushrooms and wild fruits or something."

"Then I'll carry it for you."

"It's not easy to memorize, you've already memorized one."

"It's so good to carry it, yours is just a little smaller than mine, you can put it in my frame."

"Okay then."

"I'll take it off for you."

Lan Erlang, who was silently watching this scene on the door frame, bit his finger tightly.

Boom, is it really a female college who doesn't stay?

But the good girl is only thirteen years old, and she is still so young.

……

Lan Xiaoqing always felt that today's Hu Dong was weird.

Always afraid to face herself head-on, several times she wanted to say something to him head-on, but he always flashed his head sideways.

After picking the elm bark, Lan Xiaoqing proposed to find a cool place to rest.

Hu Dong led her to a relatively empty place near a stream.

They didn't bring water with them when they went up the mountain, they all drank water directly from the mountain springs.

This mountain spring water is sweet and silky, and the taste is much better than that of well water.

The two helped each other unload the basket on their backs and squatted together by the stream to drink water.

Lan Xiaoqing turned her head sideways, and only then did she find that Hu Dong's right eye socket was bruised, and there was a small scab faintly.

Is this why he doesn't dare to face himself head-on?

When Hu Dong finished drinking water and sat on the big stone to rest, Lan Xiaoqing asked, "Brother Dongzi, what's wrong with your eyes?" How does it look like being ...... Punched? ”

"......" Hu Dong opened his mouth, wanting to say something but swallowed it into his stomach.

Lan Xiaoqing knew that he had guessed correctly as soon as he saw his appearance.

She frowned, walked over and sat down next to Hu Dong on the big rock: "Really beaten?" What the hell is going on? ”

"It's fine." Hu Dong began to sort out some of the herbs in the basket, "I accidentally knocked it." ”

Lan Xiaoqing pursed her lips: "Brother Dongzi, do you see me like such a fool?" How do you have to knock this into a fist? ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her fist and compared it to Hu Dong's eye sockets.

Hu Dong looked at her and smiled lightly: "Then you should just hit someone else's fist." ”

"Who, why did you hit you?"

Hu Dong lowered his head: "He is probably disappointed in me." ”

"Disappointed in you?" Lan Xiaoqing began to speculate, "Could it be Dr. Chen?" ”

"It's not." Hu Dong shook his head.

"That's a patient?"

"Not really."

"Who's that?" Lan Xiaoqing lowered her head and leaned over to look at Hu Dong's eyes, "I really want to know, Brother Dongzi, can you tell me that it's okay?" ”

Hu Dong's eyes lit up: "You really want to know?" ”

Lan Xiaoqing nodded decisively: "Is this still fake?" ”

Hu Dong smiled embarrassedly: "It's Nanzi." ”

"Hu Nan?!" Lan Xiaoqing was a little shocked, "What did he do with you?!" ”

"It's normal for brothers to fight occasionally, and it's not a big deal."

"Oh my God, it's bleeding, is this normal? How are your eyes, do you feel blurry, can you see things in the distance, whether there are red bloodshot in your eyes, come and see if you have any bloodshots. ”

Lan Xiaoqing said as she approached Hu Dong.

I almost held his face.

Although Hu Dong's eyes still hurt a little, his heart was very happy.

Lan Xiaoqing carefully observed for a while and found that his eyeballs were not bloodshot, nor were there too much red blood, so he planned to accept it.

But just when she was about to withdraw her gaze, she suddenly felt Hu Dong's gaze.

Burning gaze.

The gaze even made her face flush at once.

She quickly sat back, her eyes looking at somewhere in the middle of nowhere, her heart beating faster, and she didn't know how to relieve it.

Her hand resting on the big stone kept picking, and the stone was not picked off for a long time, but her nails were smoothed out a lot.

Lan Xiaoqing closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

On weekdays, although I know that Hu Dong looks good when he smiles, he looks very gentle, and it is easy for people to sink accidentally when he is gentle.

But she never expected that she would suddenly blush for him.

Obviously, when he confessed, she didn't have this heartbeat throbbing feeling for him.

At most, I think this handsome guy is good and can be touched.

Is this the legendary love affair?

Lan Xiaoqing wanted to drink cold water again.

However, she could feel that Hu Dong beside her was also nervous or embarrassed at the moment.

In this case, she just didn't want to take the lead.

Only one hand kept picking at the stone, and she was waiting for Hu Dong to speak first or make the first move.

Picking and picking, she suddenly felt a warmth on the back of her hand.

Her fingers were gently held by Hu Dong.

There is a thin layer of calluses on his fingertips, which is very dry, without sweat, and is a very comfortable touch.

"Qingqing," Hu Dong's voice was obviously a little trembling, "if you continue like this, your nails will break and your hands will hurt." ”

Lan Xiaoqing didn't look at Hu Dong, nor did she pull her hand out: "I'...... Know. ”

Hu Dong didn't let go of his hand, but simply and nervously continued to cover the back of Lan Xiaoqing's hand.

After a long while, Lan Xiaoqing finally decided to break this strange silence.

She turned around, cleared her throat with a dry cough, and asked Hu Dong, "Are you...... What does this mean? ”

Hu Dong's heart was about to jump to his throat: "I...... Since I arrived in town, my grandmother has not asked me to hand over all the money I have earned. Now that I've saved some money, I can even buy a yard in town, which is not big, but it's big enough to shelter in.

As for my mother, I won't meet her rude demands, and my father and my mother won't leave Stone Village. So Qingqing, I think, I think you can be closer to me. ”

Seeing that Hu Dong was so nervous, he even stuttered a little when he spoke.

Lan Xiaoqing suddenly stopped being nervous, she suddenly raised the hand held by Hu Dong, and smiled playfully: "When you say close, do you mean that?" ”

Hu Dong swallowed his throat, stared ahead without squinting, and didn't dare to look directly at Lan Xiaoqing, and nodded.

Lan Xiaoqing held back a smile: "Brother Dongzi, you can't do this, why is the energy you stared at me like that just now, why is it all gone." ”

"I ......" Hu Dong even reddened the tips of his ears, and then extended all the way to his neck, still nervously swallowing saliva, and there was no clear answer.

Lan Xiaoqing couldn't bear to see him turn into a boiled shrimp, so she gently shook his hand back and said loudly: "I promised you!" ”

Hu Dong couldn't believe it, and looked back at Lan Xiaoqing fiercely.

Lan Xiaoqing raised her eyebrows: "Do you mean you're happy with such an expression?" ”

Hu Dong held Lan Xiaoqing's hand tightly, and smiled fearfully before recovering his voice: "Happy!" I'm so happy Qingqing! I—Can I hug you? ”

"This ......" Lan Xiaoqing frowned slightly, in fact, she also wanted to hug the big boy in front of her who was smiling like a flower.

After a slight hesitation, she opened her hands slightly, just as she was about to put her head on Hu Dong's shoulder.

She found that her whole body suddenly took off, and then the sky spun around.

She was picked up by Hu Dong like a child, and she turned around in place several times.

Mrs. was so unexpected.

But excited like a child.

I can't remember the last time I had a hug like this.

"Hahaha, I'm going to faint, slow down, you slow down." Lan Xiaoqing's happy voice sounded in the valley, like a happy lark.

If it weren't for hearing his own echo in the valley, Lan Xiaoqing wouldn't have known that he was so happy.

Turning to the back, both of them were a little dizzy, Lan Xiaoqing rubbed her forehead: "It's quite interesting." ”

Hu Dong sat down with his back to him, and his voice was more pleasant than ever: "Are you dizzy?" I'm a little dizzy, can you rest on my back for a while? ”

"Good!" Lan Xiaoqing leaned in without any worries, and at this moment, she suddenly felt that when this big boy was around, she always seemed to not need to worry about anything, and she always had no worries.

It turned out that the moment that was heartwarming just now was not accidental, but every time in the past six months, it has accumulated over time.

Lan Xiaoqing opened her eyes, looked at the sky above her head, and said comfortably, "I thought you were going to hold me into your arms just now." ”

Hu Dong turned his head slightly to look at her, and said happily: "I want to, but I'm afraid it scares you." That...... Is it possible now? ”

Lan Xiaoqing smiled and shook her head: "No, I'm afraid of being scared by you." ”

Hu Dong listened to her with a smile and knew that she might be joking.

But as she said, he really didn't want to scare her.

He asked expectantly, "Can I hold your hand?" ”

Lan Xiaoqing was silent for a while, and slowly stretched out her hand, and as soon as Hu Dong was about to take it, she quickly dodged it, and so on, she was very happy.

Lan Xiaoqing suddenly felt so naïve, like a brainless girl in love.

But so what?

Just be happy.

However, in her heart, the shadow of Mu Xian suddenly appeared.

Thinking of Mu Xian, she was silent for a while.

Then she sat up straight: "Brother Dongzi, I have something to say to you." ”

Hu Dong suddenly became nervous: "Do you regret it?" ”

"How can it be so fast, I just tasted the sweetness." Lan Xiaoqing was funny, but she felt that the anxious big boy in front of her was a little cute.

Hearing her say this, Hu Dong's heart was completely put back into his stomach.

He cautiously took her hand and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

"Well......" Lan Xiaoqing thought for a while and said, "I made mosquito repellent coils to give to Brother Mu Xian." ”

Hu Dong opened his mouth, oh, and then smiled: "I'll help you." ”

Lan Xiaoqing saw that he didn't ask anything, and felt a little uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to explain: "I just don't want you to be unhappy when you know about it in the future, so I'll tell you at the beginning." ”

"I know, you've told me before, and I know he's saved your life. I wish I had been the one who went up to the mountain to save you at that time. ”

Lan Xiaoqing nodded: "Thank you for understanding me." If he needs my help in the future, I will still reach out. But it's not ......"

"I understand Qingqing," Hu Dong looked at Lan Xiaoqing with a smile, "I can do whatever you want to do." ”

Lan Xiaoqing nodded seriously, and suddenly held Hu Dong's face and rubbed it: "Hahaha, did I pick up the treasure?" ”

Hu Dong shook his head and said seriously: "I'm not a treasure, you are." ”
