Chapter 13: Awakening

After another three days, Xu Jiheng put Xu Yun in the back basket again and carried him up the mountain, it seemed that he was finally planning to release Xu Yun.

Xu Jiheng likes to talk to Xu Yun very much, most of them are inconsequential things, and he accidentally put more salt when cooking today, as he didn't agree with the meaning expressed in this poem, and so on.

He is not a person who talks a lot, although he does not give people a very stereotypical impression, but he does not make people think that he is a funny person who likes to joke, but in the face of Xu Yun, he occasionally makes jokes, although Xu Yun still ignores him.

The sentence "Don't take in vain, don't give in vain, don't think in vain, don't ask in vain, be convenient with others, and be at peace with what happens." I can feel that he is not willing to have too deep entanglements with anyone, and now that he has a snake by his side, it seems that he has found some fun, he can say anything at will, or "befriend" with him, anyway, in his heart, the other party is just a little green snake who can't speak.

Without passing through the market, Xu Jiheng chose to go up the mountain from the other side, and did not stop to rest on the way, until he picked up Xu Yun that day, Xu Jiheng stopped.

He half-squatted down, put the back basket on the ground, and then reached out and took Xu Yun out of the basket.

Xu Yun still looked lazy, and didn't seem to bother to look at Xu Jiheng more, Xu Jiheng lightly tapped Xu Yun's head, "You can finally leave today, why are you still like this." ”

Xu Yun swept Xu Jiheng's hand with his tail fiercely.

Xu Jiheng smiled, put Xu Yun on the ground, and said gently: "Let's go, have more eyes, don't be hurt again." ”

Xu Yun got up, glanced at Xu Jiheng, and crawled away without looking back.

Xu Jiheng looked at Xu Yun who disappeared into the grass, shook his head, picked up the back basket, and turned to leave.

Xu Yun actually didn't go far, and after he couldn't see Xu Jiheng's figure, he stopped where he was, lying on the ground as if he wanted to continue sleeping.

As early as Zhifu Rusi, he asked Gu Chen how Xu Yun's body was so small after he was seriously injured, but Gu Chen said that now it is the size of Xu Yun's real body.

Fu Rusi guessed that Xu Yun probably felt that as a snake demon, he could still cultivate a snake demon in human form, if he was only so big, he was afraid that he would show people a joke, so even if he kept consuming not much spiritual power, he still insisted on turning into that size in front of him every day.

But now that Xu Jiheng has left, although no one is watching, Fu Rusi also feels that according to Xu Yun's proud personality, it is time to change the size.

But Xu Yun didn't move for a long time, and when Fu Rusi felt that he was really asleep, Xu Yun suddenly moved his tail, and then straightened up suddenly.

Just when Fu Rusi thought that Xu Yun was finally going to change the size, Xu Yun turned around and crawled to the place where Xu Jiheng released him not long ago.

Xu Jiheng was naturally gone, and Xu Yun stood still in place for a while, and followed the other side.

Xu Yun crawled very fast, as if he was in a hurry to do something, and when he reached the deepest point, he finally stopped.

Xu Yun sniffed left and right, and then meandered to the right.

There was a steep downhill in that place, hidden in the grass half a leg high, and if one didn't pay attention, he would step on the air and fall, and on the grass pile in front of the slope, Xu Jiheng's back basket stood there, but there was no one next to him.

Xu Yun didn't hesitate too much and climbed down the slope.

Finally fell to the ground, Xu Yun heard a chuckle, it was Xu Jiheng.

Xu Jiheng's clothes had been hung with several big holes, his left leg seemed to be broken, and he was paralyzed on the ground in a twisted position, and there were several scratches on his forehead and hands.

He looked at Xu Yun, probably really thinking that this situation was a little funny, and at this time, he actually squeezed out a little smile, "You and I are really fateful, last time I had no intention of picking up the injured you, this time you actually met me who was killed." ”

Xu Jiheng seemed to want to move, but in addition to his head moving, he only moved a few fingers of his right hand, and he gasped in pain.

"Don't move."

Xu Jiheng looked at the left and right sides for a moment, but there was no living thing in front of him except Xu Yun.

He hesitated, "You..."

Before the words fell, he saw Xu Yun turning into a human form and coming towards him, Xu Jiheng looked at Xu Yun in disbelief, opened his mouth slightly as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't make any sound, and the next moment he was stunned by Xu Yun's palm.

Xu Yun didn't have much strength, he dragged Xu Jiheng with both hands with difficulty, and climbed up after a long time, Xu Yun didn't let go of Xu Jiheng, he pressed on himself, Xu Yun took this weight and gasped deeply for several breaths, before dragging Xu Jiheng to continue walking.

Before that, he hesitated to look at Xu Jiheng's back basket that he had put aside for a while, and finally brought it with him.

Xu Yun didn't know that Xu Jiheng's fracture should be fixed first, and all his strength was spent dragging Xu Jiheng away from this place, Fu Rusi looked at Xu Jiheng's feet on the ground, if he didn't know that Xu Jiheng in reality could still walk smoothly, he would be a little worried that Xu Jiheng's feet would be difficult to exert himself from now on.

Xu Yun's long hair was already soaked, and he was about to drag Xu Jiheng out of the woods, when he suddenly stopped his movements and listened carefully to the movements around him.

A slightly rough male voice said, "Brother Zhao, why do I hear a voice in the grass over there?" Listening to movement is not a small thing, like the sound of a large wild thing. ”

As he spoke, he became excited: "Let's go, let's see, maybe we can hunt some good guys!" ”

I only heard the other person reply: "Hey, bring the things, don't hurt anything!" ”

Xu Yun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this voice, and immediately returned to the snake shape and burrowed into the back basket.

The footsteps gradually sounded, and a tall man and a tall thin man appeared in Gu Chen and Fu Rusi's field of vision, and the tall and thin man was the owner of the steamed bun shop who had an appointment with Xu Jiheng a few days ago.

Dahan exclaimed first, "Brother Zhao! This... Isn't this the scholar surnamed Xu? Is this out of breath? ”

Brother Zhao was also taken aback at first, and after reacting, he immediately snorted, "Listen to what you said, go and see first!" ”

The two walked towards Xu Jiheng quickly, and the boss put his hand on the tip of Xu Jiheng's nose, and after feeling it for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, I'm still alive." ”

The big man looked Xu Jiheng up and down, pointed to his left foot and said, "His left foot is broken, so he has to fix it first." ”

With that, he tore off a strip of cloth from the hem of his clothes and handed it to the boss.

The boss picked up two sticks of wood from the grass, and fixed the place where Xu Jiheng fractured in three or two clicks, "Carry him home first, he must have medicine at home." ”

Dahan said "um", picked Xu Jiheng on his back, and walked forward quickly, the boss did not forget to bring the back basket, and quickly followed Dahan.

The two sent Xu Jiheng home, because he couldn't unlock the door, the big man had to kick the door open, and he used more force, Fu Rusi estimated that Xu Jiheng would have to change the door again after he woke up.

Brother Zhao took off Xu Jiheng's tattered coat, looked at it and saw that he hadn't fallen anywhere else, and then stuffed him into the quilt, and then found some medicine from Xu Jiheng's kitchen and crushed him and applied it to his fractures and wounds, and after a few hours of guarding, Xu Jiheng finally woke up.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked at the boss in front of him with wide eyes, and was speechless for a long time.

The boss was baffled by him, and the big man on the side couldn't help but say: "Is this scholar stupid?" ”

The boss glanced at the big man and said, "Say a few words," and looked at Xu Jiheng, "Are you still sober?" Recognize who we are? ”

Xu Jiheng seemed to have finally come back to his senses, smiled and lowered his head and said to himself: "I said that it was an illusion." ”

He raised his head again and thanked the boss and the strong man solemnly, "If I hadn't met you today, I'm afraid that no one would have found out if I had rotted in that place." ”

The boss seemed to want to say something, and the strong man said: "It just so happens that you are awake, Brother Zhao has helped you deal with the wounds, if there is anything uncomfortable, just say it, we will send you to the hospital in time to have a look." ”

Xu Jiheng said: "Thank you, the contemptible person is not worthy of a little medical skills, if there is anything wrong, I will deal with it as soon as possible, and I will bother the two of you." ”

After helping Xu Jiheng make dinner, the two of them left, and the boss was still a little uneasy before leaving, originally wanted to stay and take care of it overnight, but he also knew that Xu Jiheng and his people didn't like to be close to people, and he also knew that the other party was not a blind and reckless person, so he didn't say anything more.

Xu Jiheng was lying on the bed, probably feeling uncomfortable, frowning slightly, and suddenly heard the sound of something falling to the ground, Xu Jiheng looked over and found that the herbs he picked today were spilled on the ground, and Xu Yun was crawling on the herbs, looking at himself with his neck up.

Xu Jihengqi said: "Why are you here? ”

Then he remembered the scene he saw before he lost consciousness, and couldn't help but look Xu Yunlai up and down.

Xu Yun still watched, climbed back to the window sill where Xu Jihengteng had given him a sleep, and lay down and didn't move again.

Xu Jiheng looked at Xu Yun for a long time, and finally sighed: "It's just an illusion, if you can really become a human, according to your character, I'm afraid you will leave early." ”

He smiled again in his eyes and said, "Since you have chosen to come back by yourself, maybe our fate is not over, then continue to stay here, if you are tired of being tired and want to leave, you can leave by yourself." ”

In the next few days, the boss would send some food, but he didn't come again until he saw that Xu Jiheng was more convenient.

Xu Jiheng recovered quickly, although the injury on his leg was not good, his face and hands had healed, leaving only faint traces, and he would be all fine in a few days.

As long as the weather outside is just right, Xu Jiheng will take Xu Yun out to read a book as in the past, Xu Jiheng will still talk to Xu Yun from time to time to pass the time, Xu Yun will occasionally give a response to look at him, and most of the other time he ignores it.

Sometimes Xu Yun stared at Xu Jiheng's book on the side, or listened to the content of Xu Jiheng's book, and since Xu Jiheng found out about this matter, he would occasionally tease Xu Yun, such as deliberately covering it and not showing it to Xu Yun, or suddenly stopping in the middle of reading.

Every time at this time, Xu Yun would look at Xu Jiheng coldly, if Xu Jiheng was still like this, take Xu Yun and turn his head to Xu Jiheng with his tail, no matter what Xu Jiheng said, he would not look back at him more.

On this morning, it was still a sunny and good weather, Xu Jiheng was studying, Xu Yun closed his eyes and listened to the side, sweeping the snake tail from time to time, which was relaxed.

A voice came from not far away, very warm, as if just listening to the voice, you would feel that the other party was an excellent handsome boy.

The man said: "I heard that Jiheng didn't hurt a few days ago, blame me for being late, please forgive me." ”

Xu Yun opened his eyes and saw that Xu Jiheng suddenly clenched the book in his hand, and then hurriedly let go of the book, got up and saluted, with emotions and light in his eyes that Xu Yun had never seen before.

Xu Jiheng had a smile in his tone that couldn't be concealed, and he called the man: "Yu'an." ”

Soft and unpresentable.

All of a sudden, the sky became overcast, and the clouds were so low that it was breathless.

It's like a heavy rain is coming.

Gu Chen said indifferently: "It's time to wake up from this dream." ”
