The child made two cups of hot tea and replied, "Listen to the snow around the fireplace." ”

The first time I heard such a poetic name as incense, I became interested and asked him about the ingredients of incense. The child looked up at me and replied, and even though the left side of my face was horrible, he didn't show the slightest surprise.

"They are one coin of cypress wood core, two coins of cedar, one coin of fir, and three coins of the newborn cold plum blossom, which are mixed with the first snow and snow water after grinding, placed in three layers of wax seal in clay pots, buried under the plum tree, and taken out in the following winter." He spoke of the Word.

"It's really expensive." I can't help but sigh, it is more important than the time rather than the difficulty of finding materials.

In this thatched house, I really feel the clouds in the poem, the green ants brew new wine, and the red clay stove. If you want snow in the evening, you can drink a glass of nothing.

The tea is soaked in snow water, which has a unique taste, and the tea flavor is sweet with plum blossoms.

"Sir hasn't been here for a long time, why did you come today?" The child's question was Beiyu Jinchen.

"Seek medical advice." The timbre is gentle, and there is no estrangement that used to be thousands of miles away.

"The prince is in good health, I think it's more than just seeking medical advice." The curtain behind him was lifted, a cold wind blew, and the mist on the teacup was blown away at once.

Looking back, a diminutive man was cloaked in a cloak and threw himself into the shadows.

"Master." The child excitedly ran over and grabbed the man's hand.

Beiyu Jinchen bowed respectfully, and his expression was also respectful. He's rarely been like this, he's always been on top. Come to think of it, this Qingzhu Sage is indeed not a simple character.

I also bowed and stood silently beside Beiyu Jinchen.

The man took off his robe and hung it on the wall on one side, his face seemed to have gone through all kinds of vicissitudes, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of tiredness. The lines of time are carved on his face, and his brown eyes seem to be able to see through everything in the world.

"You haven't been here since the Jade Maiden died." He calmly poured himself a cup of tea and held it in his hand to warm it.

Beiyu Jinchen's expression was abrupt, and the expression on his face was slightly stiff, but it was only for a moment, and soon he returned to his senses.

"Two years ago, you promised me a request, and today, I will fulfill it." Beiyu Jinchen said plainly, as if it was the most natural thing.

The gaze of the green bamboo sage fell on me, and I tilted my head slightly, blocking my left cheek. "No regrets?"

"Why regret it." Beiyu Jinchen sat on a stool made of rough wood.

I didn't know where to stand, so I chose to sit next to him.

"Your so-called medical advice is for her, right?" The green bamboo sage stretched out his hand and pointed at me.

Beiyu Jinchen nodded lightly, which can be regarded as a default.

"I couldn't save the Jade Girl, are you still willing to believe me?"

As soon as these words came out, I saw Beiyu Jinchen's hand holding the teacup suddenly forced, his bones turned white, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Luo Yu seemed to be a forbidden area in his heart, like a big stone smashed into the calm water of the lake, startling a thousand layers of terrifying waves.

Seeing that he didn't speak, the Qingzhu Sage sighed softly: "You tell me, who are you bringing today?" I never save people who don't matter to me. ”

Beiyu Jinchen raised his eyes, held my hand tightly with the hand that put down the teacup, and said word by word: "Neiren." ”

I kicked in my heart, trying to earn it, but his strength was too great, and my hand was slightly painful. The hand that will hold the teacup is still a little scorching, and the eyes are as bright as water, clear and deep, and there is a stabilizing power, this power carries bewitchment, as long as you are not careful, you will fall into it.

I don't overdo it, I don't struggle anymore.

"If I'm not mistaken, the prince hasn't continued the strings yet, has he?" Qingzhu Sage frowned.

"Not yet." Beiyu Jinchen said naturally, as if it was true, and I, a veteran who was used to telling lies, suddenly felt that my ears were red, and I could only pretend to be calm.

"Forget it, I can't take care of your troubles." Qingzhu Sage coughed a few times, "Girl, give me your hand." ”

Beiyu Jinchen let go of my hand at this time, because he was too hard, my hand was also pinched red.

With my wrist facing up, the green bamboo sage saw it and pulled my sleeve up, and the staggered bright red marks were shocking.

He put his hand on his wrist to take my pulse, his brow furrowing more and more. After taking the pulse, he took out a few silver needles and pricked them in the inside of my elbow, and after a while, he pulled out the silver needles, and the tips of the needles had turned black.

He looked more serious and carefully examined my pupils and tongue.

"Girl, tell me honestly, how did you get it?"

The words are amazing, and Beiyu Jinchen is really a master around him.

"Ten spices?" I deliberately showed a confused and confused look, and leaned towards Beiyu Jinchen's side with a slight uneasiness.

The Qingzhu Sage helped me pull down my sleeves and said, "If you don't know, someone must be trying to harm you." With ten spices, it is really vicious. ”

I slowly turned my confusion into panic, leaning on Beiyu Jinchen's side, and my two hands tightly tugged at his sleeves. However, Beiyu Jinchen was not as easy to deceive as the Qingzhu Sage, and just swept it away with his afterglow, clearly with a bit of mockery.

"Ten spices, no solution." He paused, "Not even the people who developed it have found an antidote. ”

At this time, I was indeed a little flustered in my heart, although I had long been ready to die, but when I learned from others, I was still a little cruel.

"Ten Spice Surui......" Beiyu Jinchen said in a low voice, as if he was thinking about something.

"Forgive me for not being able to help you, just like Jin Zhucao back then, today's Ten Spices Surui is more serious than Jin Zhucao, Jin Zhucao breaks the intestines, but Ten Spices Surui will be tortured day and night, grinding out his mind and losing his mind."

I smiled, kind of self-deprecating.

"But......" he changed his tone and said, "I can delay as much as possible, I can suppress as much as possible, but the result ultimately depends on her personal creation." Maybe three years, five years, maybe ten years, seven years. But, not more than ten years ......"

For me, that's more than enough time.

He prepared several unheard of medicinal herbs from the medicine box behind him, the most obvious one was the wriggling worms in the small box, he crushed the insects, mixed them with the medicinal herbs, and finally put them into a small porcelain bottle and handed it to me.

"I use the mildest medicine to reduce the toxins in your body, twice a day, with lotus leaf water. As for the scars on this face, it will subside in three days at most. Then he said, "Girl, I would like to know how you have endured these days. ”

"Get used to it." Because I got used to it, it became a natural thing.

Just like when I was bullied, I didn't feel embarrassed, just because it became a habit over time.

Turning his head sideways to meet Beiyu Jinchen's gaze, he lowered his gaze in embarrassment.

"This medicine can only be suppressed but not eradicated, if it recurs again in the future, come to me." The Qingzhu Sage was stunned and said to Beiyu Jinchen: "The old man is ashamed, I can only help you get here." ”

Beiyu Jinchen nodded and said no more.

In the middle of the night, he told me that he wanted to discuss matters with the Qingzhu Sage, and I waited outside the door with interest.

Xu is the charcoal fire in the house is too hot, as soon as he goes out, the cold wind will burrow into his neck.

The plum tree at the door, standing alone in the snow, hidden in the vast mist.

The ancients said that Mei Xue was unwilling to descend in the spring, and the people put aside the pen to comment on the chapter. The plum and snow are three points white, but the snow loses the plum and a piece of fragrance. It's really the best explanation for this situation.

I don't know how many more plum blossoms I can see, how many snows I can see, maybe I can count them with one hand.

I have always taken Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty as an example, and I am also working hard, regardless of my relatives, giving up trust, in the case of my aunt's complete belief in me, I have another mind to set up my own door to recruit talents, I just feel that I have a desperate plan and strategy, and in the end this world can only be handed over.

I know in my heart that I won't live to be thirty years old, even if I reach the pinnacle of the highest power, what's the point, when I step into the Yellow Springs and return home, who should this great country give?

"Sister?"

The corner of the coat was pulled by the child, and I don't know when he ran out of the house.

"What's wrong?" I crouched down and patted the snow on his shoulder with my hand.

He had to take out a sprig of red plum from behind him, pluck one, and pin it in my hair. Then he handed me the plum blossom and said, "Sister, you have been looking at the plum tree, do you like the plum blossom very much?" ”

The plum blossoms are arrogant, and they bloom alone in the cold. I'm not liking, I'm in awe, awe of its strength. Because I can't do it myself, I can't do it without being in the same stream as the world, so I envy it.

"Hmm." Nodding in response.

"Sister, there is a plum garden behind our house, I'll take you there." The child grabbed me and walked backwards.

There are only about a dozen steps away, the field of vision is open, the red plum everywhere, the falling snow is disturbed, the red and white reflect each other, and the beauty is like a fairyland.

The plum blossoms here are different from the plum garden of the palace, in the palace, even the most arrogant plum blossoms are pampered, and the plum blossoms here are truly spotless.

Half-opened, blooming, budding, each one resembles finely carved blood jade. Every time I take a breath, it smells cold and fragrant.

"The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold." The child shook his head and read a poem.

"What's your name?" I asked him.

"The stars are the stars in the sky."

I smiled and pinned a plum blossom to his ear, his cheeks were red from the cold, and I pressed my palm on his cheek to help him warm up.

Xingchen said: "Sister, I don't have a mother, I feel very lonely, can my sister often come to play with me?" ”

I remembered the words of the Qingzhu Sage in my mind - if you relapse in the future, come to me.

"My sister is going back, it's far away from here, so I can't come often."

He nodded obediently and learned from me to put my hand on my cheek.

Xingchen suddenly turned his head to look in the direction we came from, and I also followed his line of sight, it was Beiyu Jinchen.

I don't know how long he's been standing there, his eyebrows and shoulders are full of snowflakes that haven't had time to melt.
