Although the strangulation marks have been scarred, they have not been medicated, and the wounds have not been cleaned, and now some are black, black, red, and red, and disordered, and some new injuries have not yet healed, and the old wounds have been covered again. The zigzag lining of the child's characteristic white skin on her wrist is extremely hideous.

Chongwen couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Yue'er will be like this, and she will also be responsible for her own negligence. Although he "bought" her, he obviously didn't take care of people, knowing that she should have injuries on her body, and didn't treat her in time, is it because she hasn't complained of pain?

She is only eight years old, so she is already accustomed to this? Unconsciously reached out and lifted her sleeves, and saw that there were more scars on it, thin, wide, long, short, dark, and the colors were different from the old and new, which should have been left at different times.

Or maybe there's more to it?!

Chongwu ran in with his baggage. Chongwen hurriedly put down Yue'er's sleeves and reached out to take the burden.

Actually, it's not too serious. Yue'er's coma was half because of the wound soaked in water, and half because she was tortured by her stepmother and didn't sleep all night and experienced the struggle and running during the day, plus she didn't eat for a day and a night.

Chongwen pinched her small chin, poured some medicine into her mouth, and asked Chongwu to find the shopkeeper's wife to apply medicine to the wounds on Yue'er's body.

After a pillar of incense, the shopkeeper's wife went back after applying the medicine, and Yue'er woke up leisurely.

"Brother, brother, she's awake." Chongwu found out and reported it as soon as possible.

Chongwen turned to look at Yue'er. Her big half-moon eyes surveyed the environment of the room, and then looked at the two people who were vaguely present, as if she didn't know where they were or what they were doing. After a short period of confusion and confusion, Fang struggled to get up and said, "Thank you." ”

This is the first time Yue'er has said thank you to him. In the morning, he "bought" her and took her away from Yangchang Village, but she didn't have a word of thanks, but at this time she suddenly said thank you to him, which made Chongwen a little uncomfortable. However, he still had a signature smile on his face, and his voice was extremely kind: "You're welcome." ”

Yue'er turned her head and leaned out the window, "It's time for you to go to lunch, I'll just lie down for a while, and when you're done, I'll pack up my things and wait...... I won't delay your trip. After Yue'er finished speaking, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Her face is still pale, her whole person is much cleaner after taking a bath, her facial features are delicate and slender, her hair is loosely tied, the hair that was originally wet and messy on the pillow is now dry and smooth, her lips are habitually pursed, and there is a stubborn smell in the shallow.

"Don't worry about this half day, we'll leave tomorrow." Chongwen got up and said to Chongwu, "Let the shopkeeper bring the food." ”

Watching Chongwu go out, Chongwen took the peach wood core comb on the side of the bathtub, returned to the bedside and combed all the black hair scattered on the pillow by Yue'er, and neatly went to the side.

Yue'er eats very little. She has always had a small appetite and is not used to sitting with people to eat. In the past, she was never allowed to eat at the same table with her father and brother at home, either until they had finished eating, or simply serving a bowl of white porridge and sitting on the threshold to drink it, and besides, there was nothing to eat during the day.

Chongwu put meat and vegetables in her bowl, she ducked to the side in a panic, and secretly glanced at Chongwen on the side. She is not used to the enthusiasm of others, and with a bowl of white rice, she is already content.

"Yue'er, you have eaten too little, no wonder people who are eight or nine years old look less than seven years old." Chongwu teased Yue'er and said, Yue'er looked up at Chongwen, and then ate the rice in the bowl.

Chongwen put down the dishes and chopsticks, carefully received them, Fang slowly got up and left to sit at another small square table, made a cup of tea and only took a sip, then turned around and sorted out the salute, because Yue'er's body was injured, the cost of medicinal materials, etc., had already taken out all the valuable things, and only some items were left. Chongwen handed Yue'er the clothes she usually wore, Yue'er put them on, a little bigger, loose and loose on her body, some of them were not very suitable, Chongwen tied her with the same belt around her waist, walked back to the bed, cleaned up the bed neatly, and packed the dirty clothes before and another set of clean clothes, packed up and prepared everything, and the three of them started on the road.

He doesn't like to meddle in things, especially girls' affairs, he has traveled for many years, traveled all over the country, similar to accidents like Yue'er, he has seen and heard too much, but he has helped a lot of people, but he has never let himself have one more person around him in vain as today, and moreover, it is still a girl. This matter should also be attributed to Chongwu, or because he had bad intentions and fell in love with Yue'er, Chongwen suddenly felt that he was at odds with each other, and he couldn't help but laugh a little.

Rushing all the way, Chongwu was the happiest, he followed Chongwen out to study for the first time, as if it opened up a new world for him, and he was saved by seeing the unevenness of the road, and his mood was naturally different. Along the way, Chongwen and Yue'er chattered non-stop, even if they were driving a horse, they were rubbing together, wishing that the three of them would ride together.

A shallow wry smile appeared at the corner of Yue'er's mouth, perhaps because her experience had no way to make her smile at the world. The light of freedom, sprinkled all over the land of the five continents, shone on the three of them, but could not shine into Yue'er's heart, the heart that was indulged in darkness, was always depressed, and with them, she felt very safe, but she wanted to escape from them.

At dusk, the yellow sand gradually did not go, the cold wind gradually came, the whistling sound echoed in the ears and never went far, the moon suddenly became a little cold, and rubbed Chongwen back little by little.

The robe is wide, the leeward wind blows the "drumming", on the wide avenue, in the twilight and indifference, the looming three people gradually walk away, only one, two, three, distant shadows, between the ups and downs, but when going up the mountain, it is like copying the posture of the fairy road.

Unconsciously, Sanran walked on the slope of a cliff, Yue'er has been standing at the entrance of the cave for a long time, but the murmuring of the water came out in the dark, but it was not very real, but Yue'er was sure that under this cliff, there must be a mountain turbulent waterfall, turned around, stretched her gaze, the oblique figure was stretched longer on the side of the cave, her eyes were longer, looking at a certain direction in the distance, there was no movement.

Seeing this, Chongwen couldn't help coughing lightly and handed Yue'er a bag of water. It's just that at such a turn, Chongwen's face-stinging face instantly met Yue'er's eyes, the breeze was slow, her clear eyes were suddenly too high, and Chongwen met her eyes, and then said worshipfully: "Where do mortals have such a good demeanor, are you an immortal?" Is it the kind of enlightened immortal who came to save me? I really don't know, who will be cheaper in the future for such an otherworldly person?! ”

He looked at Yue'er in a daze, with a bright smile in his eyes, Chongwen didn't notice Yue'er's soul, but found some inexplicable feelings for herself.

It was already ten night, Chongwu held a torch in his left hand, and a few prey in his right hand and came laughing, and when the fire shone, he found that Yue'er was born with such a good appearance, and her face was a little more delicate than that of everyone in this world. Chongwu's expression suddenly showed a little surprise. For a moment, he forgot his intention.

The moonlight is shallow, and the cave outlines a deep and shallow ravine on the side of the steep cliff, except for the sound of Chongwu talking and laughing, all that can be heard is the sound of the wind, and in addition, there is no sound of insects and birds chirping in the dense forest.

Knowing that the three of them were slowly asleep, the sound of those small fragments of the wind was already gone, and between the silent caves, the entire cliff was a little deeper.

So quiet, Yue'er fell asleep several times but never fell asleep, the moonlight outside the cave was white, gently got up and moved to the outside of the cave, admired the moonlight, the moonlight was heavier, and the faint sound of flowing water quietly floated in the ears again.

Chongwu rubbed his eyes, and suddenly found that Yue'er was gone, turned his eyes to search around, and was relieved to find the slender figure outside the cave, he liked Yue'er for a long time, I don't know if it's a good impression or something else, he will be excited because of Yue'er.

Chongwu got up slowly, gradually approaching, Yue'er always looked up at the full moon, Chongwu stopped, and didn't want to disturb her, he quietly looked at the girl a foot away, watching her slender figure was outlined by the wisps of moonlight to outline a charming curve. Stroke by stroke, twist and turn, infinitely beautiful demeanor, small and crystalline, the clear chin is as smooth as jade under a dull color, Chongwu is the first time to see such a girl, the girl who makes him excited.

Suddenly, I felt an indescribable intensity and uneasiness rise in my heart. It's like a fawn, scurrying around in its chest. made the whole heart "thump" and jump.

Chongwen is a smart person, and he has already noticed the abnormality around him, but he has been pretending to be asleep, looking at the two of them with slight eyes, always alert to the current situation of the two, for fear of any accidents.

Chongwu finally held his breath, his expression was a little calm, but a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Yue'er."

There was a sudden warm whisper behind her, and the corners of Yue'er's mouth pulled up a good-looking arc, but she still didn't turn around, or, if there were other moves, she just couldn't hear it.

"Yue'er, Yue'er." Chongwu still didn't give up, called her again, Yue'er was stunned, took a smile, slowly turned around and looked at Chongwu, Chongwu was very happy to see this, an arrow step came to Yue'er's side, stretched out his hand and took Yue'er's hand, the sleeves were too big, Yue'er's hand was pulled obliquely by Chongwu, and the hand just became a slash, so the cuffs shrunk by half along the elbow, instantly revealing a smooth arm.

Yue'er was stunned, hurriedly retracted her hand, and raised her eyes slightly, but saw Chongwen walking slowly.
