Once Upon a Time in Southern Yunnan (1)
That was thirty years ago. At that time, she was a dragon in Dianchi Lake, cultivated the Tao, turned into a human form, and was hidden in the deep pool, bewildering the blue sky and white clouds overhead.
At that time, Dianchi Lake was not called this name, it was called Fengye Lake. The lake is green, a grotesque green. She and him met on the shore of this strange green lake.
On that day, she was cultivating in deep water when she suddenly heard someone on the shore calling for help. She saw the man crying for help in the green water, and at the same time desperately swimming towards the shore of the lake, his face pale with panic. Behind the man is the famous green-skinned predator of Bongye Lake.
Seeing the bloody mouth of the fierce crocodile, shining twice in the daylight, she was about to bite the man's left leg - before the man could scream, she had already struck.
With a turn, she came to the left side of the fierce crocodile, exhaled with one palm, and hit the lower jaw, and the predator fell out more than a dozen feet away.
The green-skinned beast was unwilling, opened his bloody mouth, and wanted to come up. She glared angrily, and under the shock of the dragon's might, the green crocodile fell into a deep pool.
She dragged the man ashore.
"Thank you, girl, for sacrificing her life. He said so.
When she heard this, she immediately wanted to laugh: I am a dragon, and I still need to sacrifice my life to deal with a fish, so she said: "It is true that I saved you, and it is not as exaggerated as sacrificing my life." ”
He immediately admired: "The girl is really excellent in martial arts! This crocodile is notorious, and it is so easy to ambush the girl, and I admire it." ”
She laughed again when she heard this: "Martial arts? I can use that thing? As soon as I get out of the horse, the lions, tigers, snakes and beasts in the mountains have to give me seven points, and you are lucky to meet me today, otherwise I am afraid that you will have turned into meat residue in the belly of the fish at this time." ”
He smiled and didn't answer.
She asked him why he had come here to look for crocodile bites. He replied with a smile: "The girl is really good at laughing, I passed by here, and saw that the lake was green, and I was curious, so I approached and took a look, and I didn't want to fall into it carelessly••••••"
"Then you're really full and have nothing to do, I've lived around here for so long, and the lake has always been green, nothing unusual••••••"
"So girl, you live near here?!"
She immediately stopped talking, and said, "Yes•••••• yes, there is a small wooden house in front of you." Anyway, don't come here in the future, it's too dangerous, go as far as you want. ”
He immediately made a look of grievance: "I'm like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave-"
Only then did she remember his leg and bandaged him. After he was finished, he still couldn't walk, so she made a fuss and poisoned him a few words, and finally pouted and said, "Forget it, you can stay at my house for the time being, and then leave after the injury is healed." ”
He was immediately overjoyed, but she just rolled her eyes, and turned her face away, so that the man could not see her smiling face.
"By the way, girl, I don't know what your name is?"
"My name is Immortal. ”
"My name is Kylor. ”
She built a house by the lake, and lived with him in this way.
At first, he couldn't walk, so he had to lie on the bed and let her take care of the food. Gradually, he was able to get out of bed, but he had to be held by her, he was in front, she was behind, little by little, carefully. Inevitably, some accident arose, such as when he stepped on a stone and stumbled, and he was about to fall, but she was behind her, and she was small, and she pulled him down, and she went to the ground with all the force she had fallen.
She pressed against him, and raised her eyes together, the panic in her eyes colliding together like two blazing asteroids.
At that time, she didn't know what was going on—but she had to blush after all. He was even more ashamed, his whole face burned, and he burned the clouds: "Hey, girl, you've pressed me, get up-"
She gave him a blank look and struggled to her feet.
He said again: "Fairy girl, I can't get up, can you help me?"
She had no choice but to reach for it. The moment the skin touched, her heart unconsciously missed a beat.
Later, his injuries healed and he was able to walk around under the bed on his own, which meant that their days were coming to an end. She was a little melancholy at this time, and blamed herself for being hypocritical: she should have left, lived here, ate her rice, slept in her bed, and had to be sunburned every day, so disgusting - but still uncontrollable uncomfortable. When she looked at his eyebrows, she was glad to be full of joy after he had recovered, and she was even more sad, and she had a bad thought: why don't you hurt him and let him live for a while longer?
She knew he was leaving, but she didn't expect him to say goodbye.
That night, she looked at the whole empty house, and her heart was empty. The bed is still warm, and people will not be long gone, so it will be too late to chase it. But she didn't have that kind of behavior, she didn't have that kind of courage.
These days of getting along day and night have made her temperament change greatly. She thought about when he should change gauze, when he should drink medicinal soup, when the sun was good, she thought about telling him to get out of bed and walk, when the sun was not good, or when it was raining, she would be busy moving the dried herbs into the dry house, and worrying about whether the sleeping man would be covered with the quilt.
She thought she was enchanted, and she couldn't find a replacement prey, and she twitched and ached.
At this moment, "Immortal-" called. Light – but deep.
She looked back and saw him.
"Come with me, this time—let me take care of you. ”
She nodded at the expectant gaze.
