Chapter 11 Can You Afford It?
The wooden house was very clean, if there was anything wrong, it was the simple little table, a ball of blood-stained cloth and a few pill boxes, two small windows open on the wall, the evening glow shines through the woods, and the dappled light and shadow appear on the bamboo bed, making the figure of the person lying there a little unreal.
Li Tai closed the door with his backhand, stood in front of the door for a while, and then walked to the side of the bed with light steps and stood still, he lowered his head, his eyes swept over the quilt on her body, and stayed on her quiet sleeping face, looking at her somewhat yellow, with a small wound face, for a long time, he did not blink.
He hesitantly raised his hand, and when he was about to touch her cheek, he retracted it, clenched it into a fist in front of him, turned around, looked up at the small window on the wall, and pinched the restless sound of the joints little by little, until the joints turned white, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were about to burst, he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and hid the look of chagrin that had never appeared in those eyes, thick enough to burn people's eyes.
For the first time, he regretted it.
Regret, this is a word that has never appeared in his life, and it is this feeling that makes his cold and hard heart throb.
Wasn't it planned a long time ago, that it would be better to lure the man over and tell her the truth through another mouth than to come out of his mouth, and that she would grow up more rapidly under such conditions, and stay by his side with all her heart, wasn't that his purpose?
But why do you regret it? Something went wrong.
Thinking about it, when he found the traces of her being taken away in the fog forest, he was distracted, so there was a thrill during the day. In the past twenty years, he has been one step away from death many times, but even another thrilling one cannot make him afraid, but this time, he is afraid.
When he closed his eyes, he could see the scene, he lay on the ground and could not move, watching her help him delay the pace of death, dragging his injured body again and again, and pounced on him like crazy, as if she would not be in pain, nor would she be afraid, and the feeling of fighting everything made him afraid, afraid that she would be burned out like a moth to a fire.
In the depths of his memory, the figure of the woman rushing towards death, recalled at this moment, it turned out to be blurred, and in its place, there was another slender figure, which clearly made his heart tremble.
Always surprises him, exceeds his predictions, and even sabotages his plans, again and again.
Touching his left breast, Li Tai turned around, walked to the edge of the bamboo bed and sat down, stretched out his hand, landed on her sleeping face, swept through her cheeks, slipped to the side of her neck, brushed away her sticky hair, looked at her side neck that was almost covered with ointment, his fingers slid down, and the cloth adhered to his collarbone was removed, and his originally fair and delicate skin was now densely covered with a little red and swollen poisonous spots, stinging his eyes.
He lightly lifted her arm folded in front of her chest, glanced at her hand wrapped in strips of cloth, rolled up her sleeves, and saw the thin scratches on half of her lotus arms, and pressed his fingertips on the pulse of her wrist, probing her disordered pulse, the more he knew the condition of her body, the more the regret few, the more it gnawed at his heart.
The longing buried in his heart, the figure of the woman without hesitation, but when he got it, he found that it was not satisfaction at all, it was a pain burned on his heart, and only another desire to possess became stronger.
Taking a deep look at her face, he put her hand in the quilt and tucked it away, he turned his head and coughed for a while, licked the blood from the corner of his lips, frowned, and got up and sat on the ground next to the bamboo bed, holding the dantian in his hand, calming the restless inner breath.
"How's it going, is the water cold?" Xiao Fei rubbed the hair on her hand and asked gently.
"It's not cold," Yi Yu sat in the wide wooden barrel, wrapped in warm water, the soreness on her body was relieved, she tilted her head back a little, looked at Xiao Fei's face behind her, and said in a low and hoarse voice:
"Sister Flyfly, can I go out for a walk after I finish bathing?"
After fainting in the valley that day, she woke up again, and it was noon on the third day, and she was lying on the bed, and her whole body was in pain as if she had fallen apart, and it was difficult to even lift her hand.
She opened her mouth to shout, but she could only make a cry similar to scrub, but Shen Jiantang, who was guarding outside the door, still rushed in, saw her eyes open, and ran out happily to call someone.
She knew that she was seriously injured, but fortunately, there were medicinal materials in the valley, and Xiao Fei, a powerful doctor, after she woke up, she raised in bed for a few days, and her body finally regained some strength, and she could barely get off the ground, and she could bathe in water.
"Close your eyes," Xiao Fei scooped up a handful of warm water, rinsed her hair, and coaxed, "Take another day off, I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow, okay?" ”
Because her eyes were closed, Yu Yu didn't let her see the disappointment in her eyes, and her own physical condition was probably clear, so she was glad that she was covered in wounds, but her fingers that were finely wrapped with ointment and cloth were intact.
There was only one thing that made her uneasy, she had been awake for three days, Shen Jiantang came to her every day to make jokes, Xiao Fei was almost by her side, and even He Shaozhi, who almost lost half his life, appeared outside the room, but he didn't see Li Tai's figure.
When she asked them, she always got the answer that he went into the valley to collect medicine, but Shen Jiantang's flickering words made her faintly aware that Li Tai was hiding from her.
"What's the matter, is the water scalding?" Looking at her taut little face, Xiao Fei hurriedly stopped her hand movements and asked.
"No, it's not," Yi Yu opened his eyes and asked softly again, "Sister Dragonfly, our young master, hasn't he come back yet?" ”
Xiao Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Yes, there are too many medicinal herbs in that valley, and they are delicate, and some of them are not easy to pick on the mountain wall. ”
"Oh." Yi Yu's expression darkened, his chest was stuffy, he pulled the corners of his mouth at her, and closed his eyes again.
Xiao Fei continued to rinse her hair, a look of pity appeared on her face, and her movements became softer.
In the middle of the night, in the wooden house, surrounded by the quiet only the sound of insects outside the window, Yiyu struggled to sit up straight from the bed, scooped up the clean medicine bag washed on the side of the bed, felt the knife that had helped her several times, and pulled out the scabbard, revealing the silver blade.
She leaned sideways through the hazy moonlight, and saw her face from the knife, which was clearer than what she could see in the barrel during the day, and even the unevenly distributed patches of black blue on her cheeks jumped on the knife, she knew that her current appearance was not good, but she didn't think it was this pig's head appearance.
With a wry smile, she put away the knife and touched the rough skin on the side of her neck, the scratches on her head had scabbed over and began to itch, you didn't need to look at her to know how hideous it was, Liu Guan was picking at her neck at that time, she still remembered at this time, the skin and flesh were rolled up, how could it not be serious.
Slowly groping around on her body for a while, touching either shriveled flesh or hard bones, biting her lower lip, she looked up at the roof, sighed lightly, and remembered that Li Tai had said that he liked plumper girls, so she felt sour in her heart, and the sourness rushed down her nose to her eyes, making her aggrieved eyes condense a layer of mist.
The thrilling scenes of that day resurfaced in front of her, and only then did she become dull and afraid, and the bones in her body awakened the pain inch by inch, and many warm pictures flashed in her mind a little muddy, as if every time she wanted to cry.
The mother sewed her new clothes under the lamp, the second brother laughed and lifted her high, and the eldest brother gently touched the top of her head and told her, Xiaoyu don't cry, there is a big brother, one day, no one will bully you at will.
I said that I would not cry easily, but when the tear glands swelled, how could I stop it.
In the blink of an eye, tears rolled down her cheeks and chin like broken threads, dripping down her cheeks and chin and condensing into a small puddle of water on her chest.
In the dead of night, loneliness and loneliness surrounded her, and in the cabin, her slight choking sound sounded, and she did not even dare to open her mouth to gasp for fear of alarming her surroundings.
The figure standing outside the door since the beginning of the night, heard the subtle movement in the room, and when he realized that it was a cry, after the body was shocked, he turned around and pushed open the bamboo door, lifted the bamboo curtain, and saw the figure curled up at the head of the bed, and strode over.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm..." Yi Yu raised her head with teary eyes, looked at the blurred figure beside the bed, couldn't tell who it was, she was already a little confused, and suddenly saw him as a brother, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth, stretched out her hand, and let out a low hoarse cry:
"Big brother... I'm in pain, I'm scared, you... Is it good to come back..."
Hearing this, he stiffened for a moment, his eyes reflected her crying face, his heart seemed to be held by a palm, and he pinched it fiercely, and the cold words of the woman in the day sounded in his ears again:
"Fourth master, there are some things, if you find that you can't afford them, then just do it."
Can't afford it?
Li Tai looked at the hand that was reaching out to him, the hesitation and complexity in his eyes instantly faded, returning to its clear color, and he raised his hand and held her firmly.
"It's me," he sat down on the edge of the bed, holding her hand, and pressed the other to her cheek, his thumb brushing away the tears from her eyes, and repeated in a low voice:
"It's me."
After a while, listening to this familiar voice, Yi Yu's mind cleared up a lot, and he saw the person in front of him clearly through the moonlight, blinked his eyes, and the next moment, he turned his head sideways to avoid the palm on his face, and the hand he held also retracted hard.
Because of her reflection, he frowned, still holding her hand, and the other hand reached for her chin, trying to make her turn her head, but she shrank back without any cooperation, and as soon as she touched her cheek, she avoided it, and down several times, as if to annoy her, and when he reached out again, she opened her mouth and bit her finger hard.
"Huh?" Li Tai made a nasal sound, but did not withdraw his hand, this pain was tantamount to a mosquito bite to him, so he let her bite it, and when she let go, he glanced back at it, he withdrew his hand, looked at the wet fingertips, and pursed the lower lip line.
"You go out, I'm going to sleep." Yi Yu whispered, hearing his own rough voice, bitterness flashed in his moist eyes, and he looked like a skeleton female ghost, and even his voice became a broken gong.
As soon as her words fell, she felt that he let go of his hand and retreated, and before he could feel sad, he heard the sound of clothes rustling beside the bed, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that he was untying his coat, how could he be a little distracted.
"What do you do?"
Li Tai raised his eyes and glanced at her, took off his coat and threw it at the end of the bed, took off the jade flute on the top of his head, pulled his hair in a bun, let a long black hair scatter on his shoulders, bent down and sat on the edge of the bed, and raised his hand to lift the only quilt on the bed that was covering her, but she moved quickly and pressed the corner of the quilt.
He didn't dare to push too hard, he didn't pull it away twice, looked at her little face full of defense, and said lightly: "Aren't you going to sleep?" ”
"I'm sleeping, you go back to your room." Yi Yu really didn't want to talk more, so he felt annoyed when he looked like he was taken for granted.
Li Tai couldn't lift the quilt, so he simply let go of his hand, lay down on the side of the bed, supported the side of his head with one hand, looked at her, and said unhurriedly:
"I want to sleep with you."
This day is more handsome than Li Taisheng, maybe there are many people, but unfortunately Yu Yu has no chance to see it for the time being, and now I see him with a bad face, saying such cheeky words, my hands itch, I want to twist his face.
Resisting this impulse, she snorted coldly, then supported her sore body, lay back on the covers, turned around, turned her back to him, faced the wall, and said no more.
Sleep, sleep, the bed is so small, you deserve to fall in the middle of the night.
Thinking so, she closed her eyes, obviously tired from crying, but she was not sleepy at all, and was about to count the sheep, when she was hugged by someone through the quilt, and the snort on the back of her neck made her stiffen.
The warm breath sprayed on her neck, and his faint fragrance was still there, and her neck first itched, and then something soft pasted on it, making her let out a low startle:
"Don't touch it." She wanted to move, but both hands were caught by him, and she could only twist her neck to dodge, but she couldn't avoid it at all.
"Does it still hurt?" Li Tai brushed the hair from the side of her neck, kissed the scar on her neck, and stretched out the tip of his tongue to lick it.
On her skin, there was the smell he liked, but when he remembered that these protruding scars were left by others, a domineering flame flowed in his pupils, and the licking action was still very gentle.
"Don't touch..."
"Why can't I touch it, it's scabbed, will it still hurt?"
Sensing that he kissed carefully, Yi Yu sensitively retracted his fist and said in a muffled voice: "It doesn't hurt, you don't have to be like this, you obviously feel disgusting." ”
"Huh?" Li Tai temporarily left her neck with an attractive fragrance because of the not very beautiful words in her words, and frowned:
"How could I have said such a thing?"
"Didn't you say that," remembering that he hadn't come to look at her in the past few days, her heart was sour, and she said astringently,
"But you just feel disgusting, I know that you like plump and fair girls, and you don't like me as I am, rough and ugly, and thin like a bamboo pole. You, you don't have to feel guilty, I made it like this, I was careless, and it has nothing to do with you. ”
