Chapter 20 Parting Words
Lan Yixue put into training again after resting for two days, she had already told her father in advance not to go to Quling City to attend the wedding, Chu Ge wanted to persuade again, but she gave up when she saw her daughter's stubborn appearance.
Only by putting all your energy into training will there be no time for pain in your heart. Lan Yixue manipulated the water flow and trained alone, not talking to anyone, Fan Xi slowly stepped forward. "Yixue, I am sincere to Zu Yi, I hope you can understand. ”
Lan Yixue controlled a stream of water to fly quickly between the two, "That's a matter between the two of you, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
"Don't blame Zu Yi, in fact, it's all my fault. ”
"I said I don't have the heart to care about the affairs between you, don't disturb my cultivation?" A stream of water exploded in midair, and Lan Yixue stopped caring about Fan Xi with a cold face.
What is this? Is it an apology? It is clearly a show off of the winner to the loser, what kind of person is I, Lan Yixue, do I need to be pitied?
Fan Xi talked to Lan Yixue, just to deliberately provoke Lan Yixue and completely break the relationship between her and Zu Yi, it is best that there is no room for maneuver, so that Fan Xi can have a chance to be with Zu Yi. In the face of love and friendship, Fan Xi chose the former without hesitation.
Mo Jiuzhou didn't come to supervise today, so the four of them trained freely, and Shuangfeijue stopped the training in his hand and whispered to Chihiro next to him: "Little junior brother, look, why are the two of them so wrong, are they quarreling?"
Chihiro was only busy training and didn't pay attention to the things around him, and when he looked up, Fan Xi had already walked away from Lan Yixue, so he didn't notice anything abnormal, "Where do I know?"
Shuangfei Jue said: "No, Xiaoxue's face is very ugly, this is not a sick look, the sick person is a little weak at most, but the expression on her face is clearly sad." ”
"As far as you observe carefully, you probably quarreled with Zu Yi again. ”
"I don't think it's that simple this time, no matter how the two of them quarreled before, Xiaoxue wouldn't bring bad emotions to others, but this time she didn't care about anyone, don't you say?"
"You've been looking at it carefully. "Chihiro.
"What is this called, who can't see what is obvious?"
"Why didn't I find out?"
"That's stupid! Hey, look, Zu Yi is here. Frost Fly pointed down the mountain.
Zu Yi heard that Lan Yixue had come to the dry mountain for training, so he rushed over as soon as possible, he was about to go to Quling City, and he would go for at least three months or so, if he didn't explain it to Lan Yixue before that, I am afraid that the misunderstanding between the two would not be clear.
Zu Yi came to Lan Yixue's side, only to see that she was much haggard, and she didn't know how much pain she had endured, and asked with concern: "Xiaoxue, I heard that you are sick, have you been getting better recently, do you know that I am worried about you." ”
"Does it have anything to do with you?" Lan Yixue was expressionless, still carrying out the training in her hands.
"For what happened that night, it wasn't what you see. ”
"What is it?" Lan Yixue interrupted Zu Yi's words, "Could it be that I was wrong? Am I blind?"
"Listen to me......"
"You don't have to explain it to me, if you have something to say, go and talk to Fanxi. Lan Yixue stopped training in her hand and turned around to leave.
Zu Yi shook his body and walked in front of Lan Yixue, "You must listen to me." ”
Lan Yixue turned around and left, Zu Yi shook her again and stopped her, "I've never been sorry for you, you know that what I like is you, not her." ”
"I don't know anything, you get out of the way. Lan Yixue bit her lip and said.
"Listen to me......"
Brush, Lan Yixue condensed the ice sword in her hand, the tip of the sword pointed directly at the ancestral wing, tears were already rolling in her eyes, "If you don't get out of the way, I'll do it." ”
"Then you can do it, as long as you are relieved. Zu Yi didn't move half a step.
Shuangfei Jue hurriedly ran over and persuaded: "What's the matter, is this, as for doing it?" Xiaoxue put down the sword first, and had something to say. ”
Lan Yixue didn't appreciate it, and pulled Shuang Feijue away, still looking at Zu Yi angrily, "You don't let go!"
"You do it. ”
"Xiaoxue, don't ......" As soon as Fan Xi spoke, Lan Yixue's ice sword stabbed out.
The ice sword stabbed Zu Yi in the left shoulder, but it also seemed to be stabbed on Lan Yixue herself, and her tears finally couldn't help but flow down again.
"Xiaoxue, if you want to feel happy, stab me with a few more swords. Zu Yi ignored the blood flowing down his shoulder, stared at Lan Yixue's tearful face and said softly.
Lan Yixue slowly drew her sword with trembling hands, her body fell to the ground as soon as she fell to the ground, and Lan Yixue, who was exhausted, finally couldn't bear it anymore and fell.
"Xiaoxue!" Zu Yi hurriedly helped Lan Yixue up, put his palm on his back, and conveyed the warm current into it.
Seeing Lan Yixue like this, Fan Xi felt a little sorry for this friend after all, but considering that Zu Yi and her relationship was difficult to break, and longing for the relationship between the two to break down, so he could sigh for a while.
"What the hell happened to you and Xiaoxue?" asked Frostfeijue with some reproach.
"I can't tell you. Zu Yi strengthened in his hand, and Lan Yixue woke up slowly.
Chihiro looked at Lan Yixue's pitiful appearance, and also remembered his Yunuo, the two looked a little similar, Chihiro seemed to see Yunuo's shadow, in the last moment of the Snow Mountain, it was Younuo who desperately saved himself.
Lan Yixue staggered to her feet, but she still felt dizzy.
"I'll send you down the mountain to rest. Zu Yi gently took Lan Yixue's hand.
Lan Yixue shook off Zu Yi's hand, "I don't need you to send it, I can go down the mountain myself." ”
Zu Yi followed behind Lan Yixue all the way, but in the end, Lan Yixue was soft-hearted and gave him a chance to be alone.
"Xiaoxue, I swear to God, I have no second heart for you, you know that Fanxi likes me, but you know that I don't like her, you also know that I love you. ”
Lan Yixue didn't speak, just listened as she walked.
"That night, I was practicing Qi in the Star Picking Pavilion, but Fan Xi suddenly came to me to confess, I immediately refused, and told her very directly that I love you and will not like other girls. After saying that, I wanted to go down the mountain, but Fanxi became a little crazy for some reason and suddenly hugged me. She cried so sadly, and said that since we can't be together, let's let her hug for a while, and after hugging, we will treat it as if nothing has happened. I relented and didn't refuse. ”
Lan Yixue still didn't speak, but her pace slowed down slowly, no longer so hurried.
"My mind at that time was to make a break with Fan Xi as soon as possible, so I really didn't think much about it. It's not like you don't know what I mean for you over the years. ”
Lan Yixue said: "I really don't understand what you want, I just feel that I don't understand your mind more and more." ”
"I love you, I only love you alone, that's what I want. Zu Yi grabbed Lan Yixue's shoulder, and his eyes were burning like never before.
Looking at Zu Yi's affectionate gaze, Lan Yixue's cold heart gradually melted again, "Really, really, why don't you say it?"
Zu Yi hugged Lan Yixue in his arms and muttered: "It's me who is stupid, it's me who is too stupid to know how to express love, today I hope you can understand." ”
Tears moistened Lan Yixue's face again, and the indescribable pain seemed to flow slowly out of her body along with the tears, and she also hugged Zu Yi tightly. The loss of her beloved made her feel scared, but now that she is well, she has finally returned, and her collapsed inner world has been rebuilt.
Qin Tao heard that Chihiro said that he was going to Quling City soon, and he was sad and happy, sad that Chihiro had been gone for so long, and he had to stay in the medicine house all day long to deal with medicinal herbs, and the happy Chihiro could go to such a distant and novel place to see the prosperous outside world.
The night before leaving, the two got together again in the meditation pavilion, Qin Tao brought some dried fruits, and the two chatted while eating.
Since that escape from Shekou, Qin Tao has begun to practice exercises with his master Guan Heluo, although his progress is slow, but it is enough for self-defense, even if he encounters some beasts and robbers in the future, he can easily deal with them.
"Quling City is far away in the south of the mainland, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back in two months, hey, we've only been playing for a few days, and you're going to leave again tomorrow." Qin Tao said with emotion.
"Why don't you secretly go with us tomorrow? Anyway, there's nothing wrong with the medicine house, let your master watch alone." Chihiro said with a smile.
"That's not good, let the master know that you have to kill me, hey, watching you go out one by one, I can only have envy. ”
"Tao'er, what's there to envy about this, if you go out on a mission, you will always worry about your life. The chaos of the outside world is not something you and I can imagine, although I only carried out a mission once, but it impressed me so deeply. Thinking of the boy in a green shirt who had suffered the same misfortune in life as himself, Chihiro was a little worried, and I didn't know if he would get revenge, whether he was still mutilating the baby for the sake of practicing the Baby Burning Curse.
"I'm impressed because I failed. Qin Tao quipped.
Chihiro shook her head and said, "That's not it, forget it, you don't know the inside story, and you don't understand what you said." ”
"Yo, Chihiro, when did you learn to be so sentimental. Qin Tao peeled off a peanut fruit, threw two peanuts into his mouth and chewed, "I'm just a medicine boy, I don't understand those things, and I don't want to understand them." ”
"So, being carefree like you is the most enviable, you don't need to go out, and you don't have so many burdens in life. "Chihiro.
"You are wrong, no one is truly carefree, those who are worried all day long because of their worries, but they don't want to open it, life is actually very simple, but we treat it differently. Qin Tao said seriously.
"So, you also have troubles and troubles? Why didn't I see it. Chihiro looked at Koto Tao with interest, looking at his innocent appearance, where would he tolerate troubles.
Qin Tao leaned on the railing and said slowly: "I have no father and mother since I was a child, I was an orphan who grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and I survived by relying on the help of the people in the village, do you know what I was most afraid of at that time? ”
Chihiro looked at Qin Tao dumbly, this was the first time she had heard Qin Tao mention her childhood experience.
"Every day after dark, I would stay alone in that dark and cold little broken house, which was nothing, and the most unbearable thing for me was Dugu. At that time, I would go to other people's houses all day and play until they went to bed and I would not come out, although it was very bad and even annoying, but this was the only way for me to drive away loneliness. At that time, I complained almost all day long, why I didn't even know who my parents were when I was born, and why I didn't have a single relative, why it would be difficult for me to get what others could easily get. It's not fair, the world is so unfair to me. Qin Tao recalled the past, and did not appear too sad, as if she was telling someone else's story
"Later, the master took me in, and he took me back to the pharmacy, gave me the warmth of my relatives, and taught me pharmacology. Don't look at me and the master arguing all day long, I treat him as a father, although the master is very old, he can be a grandfather. Qin Tao still had the heart to joke.
Chihiro smiled lightly, "You can usually see how deep the feelings of your master and apprentice are. ”
"After the master took me in, he taught me medical knowledge and gave me a lot of principles of life, which allowed me to slowly get out of the shadow of fear of loneliness in my childhood. Later, he taught me how to face life and difficulties, and the master once told me that you and I may not be able to change what the mainland world is like, but we can change our attitude towards life. It's not profound, but it's hard to do, but I'll try to make it happen. ”
"Yes, in fact, we all understand a lot of truths, but there are very few people who really live according to the rules. "Chihiro.
"It was the master who taught me to be optimistic and open-minded, sometimes it is not that I am simple, but that I handle things in a simple way. ”
"Qin Tao, why are you speaking so deeply tonight, this is not your style. ”
"It's not like we're about to separate, there's always a lot to say when parting, I see you've been in a bad mood lately, so I'll enlighten you. Qin Tao smiled slyly.
"Thanks, but you see I'm someone who needs enlightenment. Chihiro pinched a longan and put it in her mouth.
Qin Tao smiled and said, "Do you need to know it yourself, and do you have to let me say? Hey, Chihiro, you have a lot of advantages, but do you know what your biggest weakness is?"
"What," Chihiro asked.
"It's not good to have a deep mind and hide a lot of things in your heart. ”
Chihiro turned her head to look at the quiet lake, sighed slightly, and said, "Maybe, I don't know why this is happening." ”
"The formation of a person's character does not happen overnight, but must be slowly caused by what he has experienced. Probably because you are carrying too much, the burden is too heavy. If you have any worries in the future, you can tell me that I, as your good friend forever, will keep it secret for you and share it for you. Qin Tao patted his chest and said.
"It's like the real thing, I didn't find you so powerful before, and you actually saw me so clearly. Say, have you been secretly following me for a long time?" Chihiro was amazed at Koto's perceptive powers of observation.
"Of course it's true. Qin Tao smiled and said, "Actually, there are some things that I didn't see, but the master told me." ”
"No wonder. "Chihiro," Seki-senpai's eyesight is really good, and he usually looks like he doesn't care about anything, but he can't hide his eyes. ”
Qin Tao said: "Of course, who is my master? If you don't have this ability, how can you be called the number one miracle doctor in the world?"
"The first divine doctor is talking about Guan seniors, not you, look at your spirit. "Chihiro doesn't have a good airway.
"Then I am still a disciple of the divine doctor, and when the master passes on all the skills to me in the future, the title of the first divine doctor will definitely be mine. ”
"Okay, good, the world's number one divine doctor Qin Tao, with superb medical skills, is the best in ancient and modern times. ”
"It's pretty much the same, it's pretty comfortable. Seeing that you are so sensible, I will give you a gift. Qin Tao said and took out a rolled handkerchief from his bosom.
"What other good things do you have?" Chihiro leaned over.
Qin Tao opened the handkerchief, and inside was a small red gourd, "Guess what the gourd is?"
"Pills, tonics, wound medicines?"
"It's a pill, but it's no ordinary pill. Qin Tao opened the small gourd stopper and poured the pill into the palm of his hand, which was two purple-red pills the size of rice grains.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
"You forgot?" Qin Tao glared at Chihiro, "Do you remember the purple dragon fruit we picked?" ”
"Oh, it's dragon fruit, the pill was made so quickly. Chihiro still remembers that Kototao once said that dragon fruit can extend the life of three years, "This one can extend by three years, and two can be six years." ”
Qin Tao glanced at Chihiro with disdain: "This is a pill, it's not dragon fruit anymore, my master and I have already refined the essence of dragon fruit, and only six pills have been prepared in total, the master has left two, I have kept two for myself, and the remaining two are for you." This pill has the effect of reviving the dead, you should cherish it. ”
"So amazing?" Chihiro picked up one and looked at it in front of her eyes. Qin Tao hurriedly spread his hands and held it underneath, for fear that Chihiro would fall to the ground, and if he rolled into the lake again, it would be wasted.
Qin Tao carefully refilled the pill into the small gourd and placed it in Chihiro's hand, "Don't tell anyone, and don't waste it." ”
"Don't worry, thanks. Chihiro took the gourd into her arms, but she was much more steady.
"You're leaving tomorrow, take care of yourself on the road, remember to bring me some if there's anything fun going out this time, gifts can't be collected in vain." Qin Tao said solemnly.
"Haha, I promise I won't come back empty-handed, just wait here for me to come back with peace of mind. ”
"Well, parting is for a better encounter, I'll look forward to it, go back early to rest, and I'll have to hurry tomorrow morning." Qin Tao cleaned up the uneaten dried fruits and walked out of the meditation pavilion side by side with Chihiro.
