By the second day, the third day, there were more rumors in the village.

In fact, at this time, I rarely go out.

Pei Yuanxiu has been staying in my home, although Jixiang Village lacks medicine and medicine, which is not conducive to his recuperation, but his injury is in the heart, Yao Lao's doctor ordered him to recuperate for at least five days, not to mention the bumpy and tiring boat crossing the river, in case the wound is cracked, I am afraid that he will have no skills to return to the sky.

Therefore, Pei Yuanxiu has been staying in my house, but he occupies Su Su's bed, and it is not a way for me and Su Su and Li'er to be crowded in the back room, and it is not suitable for me to recuperate with him if there are many people in the family. It was Yao Lao who rented a big mansion at the head of the village, so he asked Li'er and Su Su to go over to rest at night, and during the day, he would come over with Su Su to take care of Pei Yuanxiu's injuries and also take care of my life.

More often, there are only two people left in the family, Pei Yuanxiu and me.

Actually, I still believe that the people of Jixiang Village will not have too much malice, but when it comes to this point, they can't help but think about it, lonely men and widows are in the same room like this, plus the "bad deeds" I have had in the past, it is difficult for people not to think cranky.

It's just that the time behind closed doors is not as unbearable as some people think, I sleep in the back room, he sleeps outside, and the two are safe. However, I usually couldn't sleep all night, staring at the dark roof above me with empty eyes, and sometimes I would look at it for most of the night until the morning light slowly lit up the room outside the window.

but it does not shine into my eyes.

I don't know how I survived.

But the days, in fact, just passed day by day.

He is young in the end, the young man's body foundation is good, coupled with the old medicine skill, accurate medicine, after two days, he can basically eat some soft soup porridge, four or five days later, he can already turn over in bed, or slowly sit up, on the seventh day, he sat on the edge of the bed, holding the bedpost and slowly stood up.

I walked in with a bowl of hot soup and was startled when I saw him like this: "Why are you up?!" ”

He still had some sweat on his forehead, and he looked up at me, his face was swollen red from exertion and patience, but his lips were bitten white by his teeth, and he pretended to smile relaxedly: "It's okay." ”

"Yao Lao said, you should rest for two more days before you get out of bed, you mess around like this, what if the wound cracks?"

As I spoke, I put the soup bowl on the table and hurriedly came over to help him, he gasped slightly, but still smiled: "My body, I know it myself." It's that he's too careful. ”

"You're injured here, you should have been careful!"

As I spoke, I wanted to help him back to bed to rest, but he still refused, and I didn't dare to force him to twist him, so I could only follow his footsteps and help him to the table and sit down.

However, although he was wheezing heavily, there was no sign of illness.

When he was gasping for breath, I let go of the hand that helped him smooth his back, and saw that his face seemed to be more rosy than the previous days, and even his lips were a little bloody, which was better than mine. Seeing his appearance, it should be no big problem, and I was a little relieved, so I took the soup bowl that was placed on the table before: "Don't be in a hurry to move first, the injury will have to be recuperated, in case it cracks, it will be difficult to handle." Come on, let's have something to eat first. ”

In the bowl is my medicinal soup and rice. Soak the rice grains in water to soften, chop them with a knife, and then put them in a casserole and boil them together with the medicinal soup to make a thin soup and rice.

He could only drink soup and eat some gruel for the past few days, and Yao Lao said that he was almost recovered and could eat some soup and rice, so he specially made this for him.

As soon as I scooped it up from the casserole, the soup was still piping hot, so I scooped a spoonful and gently cooled it before bringing it to his mouth.

Pei Yuanxiu looked down at the soup and rice that was still steaming, raised his head and glanced at me again, the corners of his eyes were crooked, he obediently opened his mouth and took a bite, and after eating, he smacked his lips, as if he was aftertaste: "Hmm, it's so sweet." ”

I smiled faintly, lowered my head and continued to cool him, and said, "Put the codonopsis." ”

After speaking, he scooped up half a spoonful of soup and rice and brought it to his mouth.

The two of us were fed and eaten, but it was quiet and harmonious, and he was also very well-behaved, and he didn't seem to think that it was embarrassing for a big man to be fed spoonful by spoonful like this, and the door was still open, and the attendants outside could see it as soon as they turned their heads, and after a while, they could eat a bowl of soup and rice.

I asked him, "Do you want more?" ”

He smiled and shook his head.

I took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, and he took it and wiped the corner of his mouth, and suddenly, with a sigh.

I was about to collect the dishes and spoons and take them back to the kitchen, when I heard this sigh, I looked up and saw him wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, but his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if there was something difficult to understand, and I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's one thing right now that I find difficult to choose."

"Choose?"

My heart moved, and I sat back down and looked at him: "What is so hard to choose?" ”

"I've always wanted to get better sooner, because the sooner I get better, I'll be with you a day sooner; But now, I don't want to get better so quickly. As he spoke, he put down the handkerchief covering the corners of his mouth, revealing the curvature of the corners of his mouth, and said to me with a smile: "I'm afraid that I will get better too quickly, and I won't be able to enjoy such a privilege a few times." ”

“……”

I just felt like I couldn't get up in one breath, and I almost held back. And looking at him, looking at me with a bright smile, as if a child had succeeded in his prank, he suddenly didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

I thought he would have a new perspective on the current situation, but who knows, he actually pretended to be serious to lie to me......

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glare at him, picked up the dishes and was about to get up and walk away.

"Hey!" In a hurry, he hurriedly reached out and grabbed my wrist, I was pulled by him, but turned around and met his smiling eyes: "What, are you angry?" ”

I didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say to him like this, I only pulled my sleeves to leave, but this person seemed to recognize the truth with me, grabbed me and refused to let go, so I pulled and pulled, I also forgot to control the force, and suddenly heard him "Hmm", I saw his face change, covering his chest and bending down.

I was frightened and hurriedly walked over to help him: "What's wrong with you?" ”

“……”

"Is the wound open? Isn't it?! ”

He didn't speak, but there was another sweat on his forehead, and he bit his lower lip and stiffened for a long time, before he finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at me with a slight gasp, and showed a little smile: "Forget it, I think I'd better be earlier." ”

"...... "I can't laugh or cry, this person is really, when it comes to his own life and death, he is so unserious, I remember that even when Yao Lao pulled out an arrow for him that day, he was still laughing with me." Thinking of this, I didn't bother to be serious with him, so I just smiled and asked him, "Oh, why do you want to be a little earlier now?" ”

He looked me in the eye and said seriously, "I think that as long as I am with you, I can enjoy such a privilege if I am sick again." ”

“……”

"Right?"

“……”

I was speechless again.

Until now, I can't tell when he is true and when he is false, or if he has been using such a banter and joke method to tell me that he is true, and every time I forget to resist, I can't resist.

Looking at his eyes that flashed with seriousness, I was in a mess for a while, lowered my head to avoid his gaze, and said softly: "You don't talk nonsense anymore, how can anyone curse themselves like this." ”

“……”

"You're such a big person, you should be a little taboo to speak."

After that, I hurriedly put away the dishes on the table and wanted to walk away, but he grabbed my wrist again. This time, I didn't dare to pull with him, and he didn't use much force, but the temperature of the palm of his hand was telling me, this time, it was not a joke.

Perhaps, never a joke.

I didn't look back, I just turned sideways to him, but I could still feel his gaze, and when I looked up at me, there was tenderness in those crooked eyes, but they were also solemn.

He said seriously: "Qingying, I mean it really. ”

“……”

"If I can get you, even if God subtracts my birthday by ten years, it doesn't matter."

I shook and looked back at him.

He was still smiling, but in that smile, it was clear that it was no longer the banter and ridicule just now, but more like a promise word by word, and he did not regret it.

I only felt that my heart was heavy, a little worse than the arrow wound he had received, and I choked for a long time, and finally said, "Do you know what you are talking about?" ”

He looked at me: "Do you think I'm joking with you?" ”

“……”

I froze for a moment, then slowly looked back at him, "Is it worth it?" ”

Still smiling, he nodded, "It's worth it." ”

It's just two simple words, not even too loud to say, but they stabbed me hard in the heart, making the melancholy, panic, and persistence of these days seem to have become a joke in front of these two words. I suddenly understood from these two words, from the moment he woke up to the present, he confessed to me all the time, even looking at me, not that he was impatient, but this relationship, from the beginning, he had no intention of turning back.

I could hardly resist the hot stuff in my eyes pouring out, so I could only turn my head to avoid his hot gaze, and said softly, "Still, wait for you to get better." You see you're still having such a hard time getting out of bed. ”

Hearing me say that, he smiled too: "yes." ”

As he spoke, he finally let go of me and let go of my wrist.

I hurriedly took the dishes to go out, and as soon as I walked to the door, I saw the courtyard door being pushed open, and when I looked at it, it was Yao Lao, and I hurriedly walked in.

I took a few steps forward: "Yao Lao, you-"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that his face was different, and behind him, there was a person who looked like an official, with a nervous and panicked face. As soon as Yao Lao saw me, he immediately nodded at me and walked into the house. Pei Yuanxiu had already seen them, and when he saw the person behind Yao Lao, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, as if he felt something, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yao Lao didn't speak, and the official behind him suddenly knelt down with a pop: "Childe! ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"Something's wrong! Something big happened in Yangzhou! ”

When Pei Yuanxiu heard this, his brows furrowed.
