Chapter 2: Strangers

Ghostly, Cher walked to the gap where she woke up, between the red "petals" and the purple "petals", as if a voice was calling her, I can't tell what it was like, when Cher saw the man who suddenly appeared unconscious on the beach, she was not too surprised, as if she knew that such a person would definitely appear in this place.

Suppressing the messy thoughts in his heart, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, unfolded it, and it was a silver needle of different sizes and lengths, and took out a few of them, and pierced them into several acupoints on the man's body. The fingertips were slightly cold, it turned out that she accidentally touched the man's skin, Xue'er panicked, and almost pierced the wrong place. Hurriedly gathered his mind and pierced the last silver needle. But suddenly I felt a cold feeling on my wrist.

I looked down, but my wrist was grabbed by the man, "Who are you?!" ”

"Me?" There was a cold and hard feeling at her wrist, and Xue'er couldn't help but be a little annoyed, "I'm the one who woke you up!" ”

The man froze for a moment, let go of Cher's wrist, and asked, "What is this place?" ”

"I don't know." Xue'er replied while looking at the man in front of her, with a thin and pale face, black and long eyebrows, thin lips and equally pale, the whole person looked cold, sharp, with a kind of ancient vicissitudes, like an ancient sword out of the sheath, you can feel the murderous aura at a glance.

Hearing Xue'er's answer, the man frowned slightly, and asked again, "What time is it now, and why is it so dark?" ”

Black?!

Xue'er was stunned, stretched out her hand and slowly shook it in front of the man's eyes, and found that he had no reaction, and hesitated: "You...... Your eyes...... Ever injured?

"What did you say?!" The man was startled, then regained his composure and struggled to his feet, "It's daytime?" ”

"Nope." Cher stood up and stretched out her hand to the man, "It's a strange place, but I'm not a bad person and won't hurt you, can I take a look at your eyes?" ”

The man shook off Cher's hand and took a step back: "Strange place? ”

"Yes, very strange place, there is no day and no night." Xue'er didn't stretch out her hand again, looking at him, "The sky is chaotic, and I can't feel the passage of time. ”

The man asked, "How did you get here?" ”

"I don't know, I just know that I stumbled and fell into the sea, and I woke up here." Cher looked at him, "Not far behind you is the sea water, and there are many, many snakes in the water; In front of you is a valley, and the two mountains are almost identical except for the different colors. Going down the valley, there is a small lake, where the lake is lukewarm and crystal clear, and there are a few stones in the center of the lake......"

Silent.

There was a long silence.

Finally, Cher broke the silence, "I'm going to the lake." She added: "These sea snakes are scary. ”

"What do you need to heal my eyes?" The man held out his hand, "Take me to the lake you said." ”

"Conditions?" Cher was stunned and went to pull his sleeve, "Why do you need conditions?" I just find it inconvenient for your eyes to see...... You! ”

Looking at the blocked veins, Xue'er was so angry that she was almost speechless, what kind of person is this! What is so guarded against people, is she so much like the person who harms him? When I first woke up, I buckled her pulse, and now it's coming again!

"Let's go." The man ignored her anger at all and said lightly, "Go to the lake." ”

Immediately after a sharp pain in her wrist came, Xue'er couldn't help but scream, glared at the man, and remembered that he couldn't see it at all, so she gritted her teeth and led him towards the lake in the center of the island.

Half an hour later.

"It's here!" Xue'er said angrily, "You can let me go!" ”

The man was still expressionless, "You said, heal my eyes." It's time to go. ”

"Let go of me!" Cher said angrily.

"Wait until you heal my eyes." The man said as he handed his other hand to Cher, "Let's get started." ”

Cher froze for a while, glared at him for a while, and then began to probe the man's pulse with her unclasped right hand. After a long time, he said: "The meridians around your eyes are not smooth, and there are some blood congestion blockages, so I will use a silver needle to help you dredge it two or three times." ”

"Okay." The man replied with one word.

"Uh...... Can you sit down? Xue'er looked up at the man who was half a head taller than herself, and added with some depression, "I can't reach it." ”

"Okay." It's the same word again, but there's a subtle hint of a smile in his tone.

The silver needle has been withdrawn, and now it is taken out of her arms again, and it is pierced into the acupoints around the man's eyes one by one with a peculiar technique, some light and some heavy, some deep and some shallow, and it has been pierced more than a dozen before stopping. Then take them out one by one, the technique is still peculiar and cumbersome, and when the last silver needle is taken out, Xue'er's forehead is already covered with fine beads of sweat.

"Now you can close your eyes and recuperate, but it's best not to use your luck, let alone impact the acupuncture point I pierced just now." Xue'er reached out and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, "I'm going to take a break too." Can you let go of me now? ”

"Nope." The man's answer was crisp, leaving Cher speechless for a while.

Xue'er had no choice but to sit down next to the man, the needle took her a lot of energy, and she was sleepy after not much effort, and finally fell asleep on the man's shoulder.

Feeling Xue'er's warm breath, the girl's body fragrance on the tip of her nose softened the cold and hard lines on the man's face. It was no longer dark in front of him, so everything could be seen in a rough outline, including this woman who couldn't stop his heart.

What kind of woman is this, so kind and simple, without the slightest scheming, and completely defenseless against him. Even if he held her vein, he still healed his eyes when he didn't know him, and he could still sleep so peacefully.

He was suddenly curious, and wanted to know what she looked like.

Unable to tell what kind of psychology he was in, he stretched out his arms and took the woman on his shoulder into his arms so that she could sleep more comfortably.

However, the person in his arms suddenly moved, and then he heard an "ah", and the warm fragrance of nephrite in his arms had already left, making him feel a sense of emptiness rise in his heart.

Xue'er blushed and took a few steps back before stammering, "You ...... I...... This ......"

The man stretched out his hand, and a hint of panic appeared on his face: "What's wrong with you?" Why leave suddenly? You know what I can't see, where are you going? Don't leave me behind. ”

A little took advantage of her kindness, but I didn't want her to be too far away from her.

Xue'er was stunned, obviously the embarrassment when she first woke up made her forget that he was a blind person, and now after his "reminder", she paused and asked, "How are you?" Are you feeling better now? ”

"You can see an outline, but you can't see it clearly." The man thought about it, but still told the truth, but asked again: "When will you give me the needle again?" When will I be able to see clearly? ”

"At least 12 hours between the two injections." Xue'er said, "It's not easy to heal if it's too close." ”

"That ......" The man wanted to speak to distract Xue'er's embarrassment, but he didn't know what to say, and both of them fell silent for a while.

The silence lasted until after the second application, during which the two people were as silent as the first time, the only difference was that the man no longer held on to Cher's vein. After the injection, Xue'er was still overworked and tired, but she refused to fall asleep again, this time it was a man who fell asleep.

"Cherβ€”"

The voice was full of remorse, unwillingness, fear, and a trace of heartache helplessness, which broke the peace between the two, and the man sat up suddenly, and Xue'er on the side was shocked and sleepy: "What's wrong?" ”

The man seemed to be still immersed in the dream just now, and muttered, "No! No! Cher! ”

Cher frowned, she didn't remember telling the man her name, did he know another woman named "Cher"?

"Hey, wake up." Cher crouched down and shook his shoulders vigorously, "You're dreaming!" ”

The man hugged Xue'er, with so much force, as if he wanted to rub her into his body, and his voice was full of pity: "It's not true, it's great, it's great......"

"You!" It was the first time that Xue'er was hugged by a strange man, and she couldn't help but be ashamed and anxious, and in a panic, she remembered to push the other party away for a long time, but she was hugged tightly by the man, unable to break free, and in a hurry, she bit the man's shoulder.

"Ahh Under the severe pain, the man instinctively let go of his hand, was stunned for a long time, and finally came back to his senses, let out a long breath of turbidity in his chest, and looked at Xue'er helplessly, and said, "I dreamed, didn't I?" ”

"Yes, you're dreaming." Cher repeated to him, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity anymore, and asked again, "What did you dream of?" ”

The man was stunned: "What are you asking for?" ”

"Because my name is 'Cher' too." Xue'er said, "My name is Shen Yixue, and everyone calls me Xue'er." Is this justification okay? ”

"Shen Yixue?!" The man's face was incredulous, his dark eyes were shocked and confused, and he looked at Xue'er's face fixedly, "You said your name is Shen Yixue?!" ”

Xue'er was stared at by the man's gaze, and quickly stood up and took a few steps back to avoid the man's gaze.

The man sighed suddenly, and his voice seemed to carry endless exhaustion: "I can see much more clearly now than the first time you gave me an injection." After the first application, I could only see a rough outline, and now although I can see your eyebrows, it seems to be separated by a veil. β€œ

He raised his head and followed Cher's figure, "So there are some things I'm not sure about. ”

Although he said that he was not sure, he could not deceive his heart. In the dream, he was an ancient sword, the woman who was beautiful and overwhelmed by all beings, was stabbed in the heart by him, he didn't want to, but he couldn't help himself, watching the red blood flowers bloom on her chest, looking at the grief and shock in her eyes, his heart ached, helpless, remorse, he hated himself why he was a sword, he hated himself why it was a sword that killed her, he hated!

However, he didn't dare to say it to the woman in front of him, and the first time he woke up, he could see that the woman in front of him was almost exactly the same as the woman in his dream, and what surprised him even more was that their names were the same, so he didn't dare to say it!
