Chapter 66: The Crane (4)
When he tiptoed home, Dad Shen was still asleep. It's just that I don't sleep well, and I always cough a few times from time to time.
I lay on the bed, listening to Daddy Shen's hoarse cough, and my heart was extremely uncomfortable.
I always unconsciously wondered, when my father was seriously ill, was he the same as Father Shen? Is it difficult for him to sleep, is it rare for him to sleep peacefully until dawn, and does he often cough up blood?
He was tormented by illness every day. Who accompanies you at night? Will he think of me, of his mother, of Yi'er?
If I had seen through all of this earlier, maybe I could have stayed by my father's side and fulfilled my filial piety. Instead of letting him play such a big game of chess when he was dying. In order to give us a stable country, we involve ourselves and let others stay out of it.
Every time I think about it, I always feel that it is extremely difficult to breathe.
……
The next night.
As usual, after dark, I chatted with Daddy Shen for a while. It wasn't until he fell asleep that I went out again.
I came to the place where I met Leng Nuan yesterday, found a stone and sat down, and waited quietly for her to come.
Heating?
Scold......
Yesterday, she also laughed, saying that the surname Wenren is so strange. But didn't anyone tell her that her name was really funny?
The surname is cold and the name is warm, is she cold or warm?
"Are you thinking about me?" Suddenly, a playful voice came from behind him.
I didn't look back, I just put away the smile on my face and said coldly, "No." ”
"Actually, I don't have a surname Leng" Seeing me like this, Leng Nuan said seriously, "It's just because I like a word in your world very much, so I gave myself such a name." So...... You think too much, I'm neither cold nor warm. ”
Cold and warm can read people's minds, so there are no secrets in front of her. However, what she said just now was extremely mindless. For a moment, I didn't know how to proceed.
So, I had to ask her, "Really?" I'm curious about what is the word that makes you famous. ”
"You know what you know." Her playful voice sounded, "I like these four words very much." ”
Self-aware ......
People's hearts are cold and thin, and they know their own warmth and coldness.
Love and hate, cold and warm self-knowledge.
Gather and part, know whether you are warm or cold.
The love is deep and shallow, and the warmth and coldness are self-aware.
Sure enough, it's a good word.
Seeing that I hadn't spoken for a long time, Leng Nuan thought it was a little stuffy, "Hey, Yunhe." ”
"Huh?"
"Okay, come and accompany me to relieve my boredom, why did you start staying by yourself?"
"I don't think you're bored at all, so naturally you don't need me to relieve your boredom."
She chattered and chattered non-stop. It is rumored that she kills people like hemp, drinks human blood and eats human flesh. But in fact, sometimes it seems that he is ignorant of the world, and sometimes, he can look down on people's hearts and know how to know whether he is warm or cold.
To be honest, I really don't see where she gets bored. On the contrary, I feel that she should live happily.
"Yunhe, do you have something on your mind? With such a handsome face, why is it always cold when there is nothing to do. As he spoke, a gust of wind blew. The corners of my mouth unconsciously rose upward, as if I had been controlled, "That's right!" Look at how good you look when you smile. ”
I'm a little helpless......
"Can't you see through people's hearts? Do I have any problems, why do you need to ask me? "I think my face must be very funny at the moment.
The corners of the mouth are raised in a large arc, and the mouth. The ba, one by one, like a fool. However, in the face of the cold and warm witchcraft, I didn't have the slightest room to fight back.
"Do you really think I'm a god?" Leng Nuan sighed, "I can only sense a few points when others lie, or think in front of me." If you have a secret and you avoid me, I can't see anything. ”
"That's good" It would be a sin to let her know everything.
"So I'm going to ask you" Leng Nuan smiled, very naughty, "Yunhe, what do you have on your mind to tell me, anyway, we are now relieving each other's boredom." Also, you don't look like a fisherman's child, why are you here?
You are not related to that tall and thin man, why do you call him Daddy? By the way, aren't you really afraid of me? Why aren't you afraid of me? ”
“……”
"You say!"
"You've asked so many questions at once, how do you want me to answer them?" For some reason, everyone always says that water ghosts have killed a lot of people. But now in the face of warmth and cold, I can't hate it.
"This ...... Are you coming one by one......"
"I don't have anything on my mind, and even if I had, I wouldn't tell you." I couldn't see the cold and warm shadows, so I could only turn around and speak in the direction she was speaking, "As far as you are concerned, I am here to relieve your boredom, but as far as I am concerned, I just want to get the antidote pill for my father." Not to mention...... I live well on the island, and I am not bored at all. ”
"You ......"
"It's true that I'm not a fisherman's child, but no one has a rule that only fishermen's children can live on the island, do I? Although my father and I are not related by blood, but he treats me like a new parent, is there a problem with calling him a father? ”
"You ......"
"By the way, about whether I'm afraid of you or not." When I said this, I hesitated for a moment, and then smiled, "What do you think is worth my fear of the current appearance of your mental retardation?" ”
"You ...... man"
"Alright" I patted myself and stood up from the stone, "It's getting late, give me today's pills." ”
"Stay with me a little longer......"
"What if I say no?"
"Alright then, here you go!" Seeing that I had a tough attitude, Leng Nuan had to deflated and threw the pill over, "Remember to come early tomorrow night!" ”
I took the pill that emerged from the air and sniffed it. Finding that the pills were full of herbs, there was nothing wrong with them, so I walked in the direction of home satisfied.
Behind him, the dissatisfied muttering voice of cold and warm came "Stinky ice!" I won't even say thank you......"
Thank you?
You raised it yourself. Pet. I didn't take a good look at things, so I ran to my Shen Dad to spread wild. It's good that I didn't settle accounts with you, and you still want me to thank you?
What a silly girl!
……
Daddy Shen trusted me extremely much, and when I gave him the pill, he ate it without saying a word. Since taking the pills, the bleeding has stopped first, and then the cough has gradually decreased.
I saw that this medicine did have some effect, so I secretly ran out every night to get the medicine for Daddy Shen.
And this one was taken for forty-eight days.
……
During the day, I helped her do a lot of work at Grandma's house, so it was only a while when I got home, and it was dark.
I first had dinner with Shen's father, and then after he fell asleep, I went out in a familiar way.
When I arrived at the place where I got the medicine, Leng Nuan was already waiting for me.
Although I couldn't see where she was, her crisp and pleasant voice was something I think will be unforgettable for the rest of my life.
"Stinky Cloud Crane, why are you so late today! I'll wait until you fall asleep! ”
"My dad is asleep" for some reason, but subconsciously explained.
"Your father, your father, it's your father every day!" "Today is the forty-ninth day, are you happy?" ”
"Naturally," I smiled lightly, "After taking the last pill, my dad will be completely healed." ”
"Do you really think your dad is going to be fine?" Leng Nuan asked.
I was suddenly shocked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Okay, okay, look at your careless look." Seeing that I was so nervous, Leng Nuan sighed, "Your father will indeed be completely well after taking this last pill tonight." Although I am not a good person, I am not easy to frame. ”
With that, a pill suddenly came to him. I subconsciously took it, only to feel that the pill was a little hot.
"This pill is a little different from the usual ones." I asked.
"This is the last pill, also called the Recuperation Pill. Your father has been poisoned for many days and his body is weak, and he will definitely have to take care of it after the residual poison is cleared. ”
"I see," I nodded, "yes, yours. Pet. What to do with poisonous water bugs? It stands to reason that after deworming, it will always come out, right? ”
"No need, as soon as this pill goes today, it will be killed directly." The cold and warm tone was a little meaningless, and it sounded very chic.
"Aren't you distressed?" I asked curiously.
"What's distressed? Such. Pet. How many ...... are in the sea?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be ashamed.
In this black sea, there are still a lot of poisonous water bugs? In this case, you have to explain to Shen's father in the future, don't go to the sea easily.
"Lengnuan, thank you anyway." I held the faintly hot pill in my hand and thanked Leng Nuan, who had never appeared.
Even if it's ...... For her sake, she handed me the pill so early today.
"Yunhe, would you like to meet me?" But who knows, in the face of my gratitude, Leng Nuan suddenly lost his mind and asked a very funny question.
Would it be nice to meet her?
Is she going to show up today?
Just as I was thinking, a gust of wind blew, and my face and eyes were entangled in slender green silk.
Faintly, a slender woman could be seen whirling in the air. Her skin was as white as snow. Judging from the only exposed half of the face, the facial features are quite delicate and beautiful.
It's like a porcelain doll, just one glance can help but want to cherish her and love her.
The wind stopped, and she stood quietly in front of me. A pair of eyes are like amber, and you can sink deep into them with just one look.
"Hey, haven't you ever seen a woman as beautiful as me?"
She asked.
I was a little distracted, but when I listened to her words, I couldn't hold back my laughter.
Hey, haven't you ever seen a woman as beautiful as me?
Who will tell me, how can cold and warm live so freely and casually?
Looking at the age of only eight or nine years old, he is not ashamed to speak.
"......No," I laughed, "and among the women I know, your looks can only be considered ...... Not bad. ”
To be honest, the warmth and coldness are extremely beautiful.
She is stunningly beautiful, inviolable, and unforgettable. From the first time I saw her, I couldn't imagine what kind of woman she would be when she grew up with such a face at such an age.
Such a look...... If you have to find someone who can match her, it is the queen mother.
It's just that it is very rare to be able to compare with a woman like the queen mother. The reason why I hit her so hard was just because I didn't want her to be too proud.
"You, can you coax a girl?" The cold and warm lips were slightly upturned, but they looked very aggrieved.
"Little girl, let's talk about it when you grow up." I'm a little funny "It's only eight. Nine-year-old looks like a girl, how can she be so ashamed! ”
"You're only eight. Nine-year-old ...... "I didn't think about it, so I hit back at me" and not to mention the age of our side, even if you take the annual rings of your world, I have been rampant and domineering in the dark for more than ten years, not to mention eight. Nine years old? ”
I looked at her so calculating, and shook my head helplessly, "That's it, you can be as old as you like." It's getting late, and I have to go back. ”
With that, I raised the pill in my hand, "Thank you!" ”
"Wait!" However, it did not wait for me to take three steps. The cold and warm behind him suddenly flashed, blocking my way, "Yunhe, I have one more question for you." ”
I listened and stood quietly in front of her, silent.
Seeing this, Leng Nuan took a deep breath, "You once said that you are not afraid of me. You...... Are you really not afraid of me at all? ”
The words fell, and the cold and warm eyes were overflowing with anticipation.
I don't know what kind of answer she listened to, but she still followed her heart, "Hmm...... I've never been afraid of you. ”
"But what if that's the case?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the cool breeze struck, lifting the long hair that had been covering the other half of his face.
The left and right sides of the face are two extremes that make people's hearts tremble.
On the one hand, it's breathtakingly beautiful. On the other hand, it was destroyed to the earth.
I don't know how to describe the other side of the face that cold and warm have been covering, because I have never seen this kind of face.
The purple face is thin, and there are things like centipedes and spiders that shuttle back and forth underneath. Climb from the forehead to the chin and back to the forehead.
Then, crystal clear eggs are constantly produced. In the beginning, it was floating on the skin. Later, when there were more eggs, the eggs would automatically flow into the cold and warm mouths and disappear.
Leng Nuan saw me staring at her face like this, but she didn't speak again. So, he couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth bitterly, "Sure enough, you're still scared." ”
Fear?
Not afraid......
Just seeing her like this, I suddenly remembered the time when the queen mother was hit by a Gu worm before. For a while, I felt a little distressed.
But now it seems that the situation is more serious. She always kept saying: You are human. Presumably, she is really different from us. So, she must not have fallen for the Gu worm. Maybe the appearance of the water ghost is like this, yin and yang. Perhaps, she has her own unspeakable suffering.
Thinking of this, he stupidly asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
Leng Nuan was stunned, "What?" ”
I involuntarily reached out and wanted to caress her face, "Does it hurt?" ”
"Don't touch me!" Leng Nuan suddenly took a few steps back, and covered her face again with her hair in horror, "These things are poisonous, you can't touch them." ”
I raised my hand in the air, and I put it down in a hurry, "Okay, I was abrupt." ”
