Chapter 81: Cousin
Yunxi dropped the last needle on Qin Jianguo's feet, then raised her head, and met Qin Jianguo's gaze, she was slightly stunned: "What's wrong?" Did it hurt you? β
There was a fire in her eyes, as if there were two rounds of suns embedded in her, Qin Jianguo lost his mind for a moment, and then quickly looked away, turned his head and said, "It doesn't hurt." β
Yunxi saw him dodging, and thought he was lying with good intentions, so he said: "My hands are a little raw, and the pain will be reduced when I become proficient." β
Hand raw?
Can't he have hope in her medical skills?
Yes, she's only fifteen years old, and she's an introductory apprentice at best.
Let's give her a handiwork.
Qin Jianguo secretly thought in his heart and closed his eyes.
"You sleep, I'll pull out the needle for you when the time is up." Yunxi put a thin sheet on him.
The silver needle is inserted diagonally into the skin, and the sheet is light and thin, as long as the body is kept still, the silver needle will not be displaced.
Although Qin Jianguo closed his eyes, he was not ready to fall asleep, but just like during the acupuncture this afternoon, he fell asleep unconsciously.
Yunxi knew the reason, because she deliberately gave a sleep needle, although it didn't work wonders, but Qin Jianguo worked hard during the day, and slept quietly at night, so although he was still strong at the beginning, he couldn't resist it later and fell asleep.
Yunxi lightly moved the burning pine strip away, and Qin Jianguo was shrouded in darkness, and his breathing became longer.
The pine strips burned to the end, and soon after, they burned out, and the last glimmer of fire sent the whole stove into darkness.
The sound of the man's breathing was amplified several times in the dark and silent space, and Yunxi seemed to be able to sense the heat he exhaled, and he couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.
Shaking her head vigorously to drive away the strange feeling, she opened her eyes and meditated on the time.
Maybe the night was too quiet, or maybe the man's breathing was too rhythmic, her eyelids kept fighting, and her head hung down with her hands.
The night sky was shrouded in dark clouds at some point, and it was like a black cloth covering the sky, without a trace of light, but suddenly the wind rose.
A wisp of wind came in through the window, and the little black dog in the corner opened its eyes, stood up alertly, and looked at the window with green eyes, where there was nothing, and it turned its head and looked around, but still did not find it, and then it lay down again and closed its eyes.
A wisp of wind hidden behind the bed board swished out and submerged into Qin Jianguo's eyebrows, he frowned uncomfortably, and the eyeballs under his eyelids moved rapidly.
β¦β¦ Through the mist, Qin Jianguo walked into a peach forest, the peach blossoms were gorgeous, the petals of the wind fell, and fell on the cyan robe on his body.
Robe?
Qin Jianguo's eyebrows moved slightly, how could he wear a robe?
Before he could figure it out, a string of silver bell-like laughter came into his ears, and then a figure pounced, he subconsciously retreated, and the pounced figure staggered for a moment before steady, raised his head and asked him aggrievedly: "Cousin, why don't you catch me?" β
It was a young girl who pounced, she was dressed in a dress, her posture was slender, her pretty face was crimson, and her tears were shining, which made people want to take care of her at a glance, but Qin Jianguo's brain was a little dull, and she repeated: "Cousin? β
"Cousin, what's wrong with you? I'm your cousin, but I haven't seen you for a year, so you're not going to forget about me, are you? The girl was coquettish, and seemed very upset that he had forgotten her.
Cousin?
Some episodes flashed through Qin Jianguo's mind, it was a childhood episode, there was a little girl in a white dress who always happily chased after him and shouted "cousin......
The girl saw that he was silent for a long time, and her face showed some apprehension, and she stepped forward to grab his sleeve, and he was just about to break away, when she heard the girl ask shyly, "Cousin, you used to say that you wanted me to be your bride...... Does it still count? β
Qin Jianguo was stunned, he forgot to break free of the girl's pull, and a scene appeared in his mind, the little boy gave the flower plug in his hand to the little girl sitting on the lawn playing with the doll, raised his chin and said: "This flower is for you, and you will be my bride in the future." β
This scene kept replaying in his mind, and the girl in front of him raised her head shyly and asked him again: "Cousin, are you willing to marry me?" Before I came to you, my parents were discussing our marriage with my aunt and uncle. β
The words of the matchmaker of the parents, there is no right to say no to children, not to mention the cousin and cousin who grew up and promised each other for life, his parents are actually very enlightened.
Qin Jianguo knew that he should nod in agreement, but when he opened his mouth, something seemed to be blocked in his throat, and he made a difficult voice in the girl's loving eyes: "I am willing...... I ......"
β¦β¦
Boom!
Her head slammed on the table, and the pain made Yunxi wake up from her dream all of a sudden, she covered her head and hissed softly, and then she heard a burst of rapid and heavy breathing, which came from the side of the bed.
The memory before falling asleep instantly returned, Yunxi's secret passage was broken, and the acupuncture time must have passed.
Hurriedly reached out and touched the matchbox on the table, stabbed a match, the light dispelled the darkness, and also let her see Qin Jianguo's sweat on his head, struggling but never opening his eyes, he was afraid that he was having a nightmare.
"Brother Qin, wake up."
Yunxi shouted, while lighting the pine stick and putting it into the broken jar, but her shout did not wake Qin Jianguo up, she immediately walked to the side of the bed with the jar, raised her hand and touched Qin Jianguo's sweaty forehead, she was worried that he had a fever so he couldn't wake up.
But the moment her hand touched his forehead, a trace of wind suddenly appeared, which seemed to come out of the man's eyebrows, blowing the fire in the jar and shaking, Yunxi was stunned for a moment, what the hell?
The ghost didn't see it, but the man suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were confused, as if he hadn't woken up yet, and he opened his mouth and shouted at Yunxi: "Cousin? β
Maybe because he had just woken up, his voice was a little hoarse, in such a lonely night, and under the warm firelight, the ears of the listeners were crispy, but Yunxi quickly reacted, straightened up and distanced himself from the man on the bed, and asked him with a chuckle: "Did you not wake up from a dream, or did you recognize the wrong person?" β
Qin Jianguo was stunned.
"It's my fault, I didn't fall asleep just now, acupuncture has been over for a long time, but fortunately, it's okay for a long time. I'm going to give you the needle now, don't move yet. β
As she spoke, Yunxi lifted the list covering Qin Jianguo's body, and pulled out the silver needle with a light and fast movement, and when she finished pulling it out, she turned her head to see that Qin Jianguo was still stunned.
He's probably still reminiscing about the dream he just had.
Yunxi didn't explore, only joked: "Okay, you can continue to meet your cousin in your dreams." β
After speaking, she packed up the needle box, and walked out with the jar burning pine sticks, and at the moment when she stepped out of the threshold, a hoarse voice came from behind herβ
"I ......"
