CHAPTER XVI
The forest was plunged into darkness, and the night was hazy, with a cool night breeze.
Meng Xi got out of bed and took his coat and put it on, and as soon as his left hand moved, the wound was touched, Meng Xi gasped, and his face turned pale.
There was a candle lit in the house, illuminating only a square inch of space.
Xu had been lying on the bed for a long time, and Meng Xi was a little dizzy, but quickly regained consciousness. He walked out of the house, and when he looked up, he saw Yuyi walking back from outside with a pile of firewood he had picked up. The night was thick, and Yuyi's figure was getting closer and closer.
Meng Xi watched the woman walk into the courtyard at the door, approaching him little by little.
Yuyi was still wearing a veil, and when she entered the courtyard, she saw Meng Xi. Yuyi's gaze was very light, without any waves.
When Meng Xi walked towards Yuyi, a figure suddenly appeared, magnifying his whole face in front of Meng Xi's eyes, and getting very close, Meng Xi was directly frightened and took two steps back, and fell straight to the ground, and the bandaging on his chest instantly oozing red blood.
Meng Xi looked at the woman in white standing in front of him, as if he had seen a ghost, it was not that the woman suddenly appeared and was scary, but that the woman's figure was transparent.
I saw the woman turn around and smile at Yuyi: "I'll just say, he can see me!"
"Qiyin, you scared him. Yuyi walked over and called the woman's name. The woman named Qiyin stared at Meng Xi, then turned around and disappeared.
Meng Xi stared at the place where Qiyin disappeared and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Yuyi helped Meng Xi up, Meng Xi didn't like to be touched, when Yuyi touched his arm, Meng Xi subconsciously dodged, Yuyi didn't feel embarrassed, she withdrew her hand, took two steps back and looked at him.
Meng Xi felt embarrassed because he had just rejected her kindness.
Yuyi lit a fire in the courtyard, a small pot hung above the flame, Yuyi cooked some wild vegetable soup, and Meng Xi sat beside Yuyi. His wound was split open again, and Yuyi had to bandage him again.
Meng Xi untied half of his shirt, revealing half of his heart, under the background of the firelight, Meng Xi's complexion appeared dull yellow, the muscles on his chest were even, in addition to the most serious wounds, there were several small wounds around, which were sword wounds.
Meng Xi kept his head sideways, not daring to look at Yuyi head-on, but he could clearly smell the faint fragrance of Yuyi's body from his nose, and there was an unknown smell, Meng Xi didn't feel annoyed when he smelled it.
Meng Xi didn't seem to be curious at all about why Qiyin's body was transparent, so he didn't ask Yuyi, and Yuyi didn't explain it to him.
But Meng Xi still spoke out and asked again the words that had not answered him during the day: "Did the girl save me?"
Yuyi gave him medicine seriously, and the answer was direct, "I saw that you brought it back before you died." ”
After hearing this, Meng Xi solemnly thanked him, and then asked, "Why does the girl show people with a veil?"
Yuyi's eyes paused and said, "I've been ugly since I was a child, and I'm afraid of scaring others. ”
Yuyi said seriously, and Meng Xi listened half true and half false.
Yuyi tied a knot for him, and then opened the distance between him and Meng Xi, who hurriedly put on his clothes.
The firelight was reflected on Yuyi's face, her eyes finally had a glimmer of light, the bridge of her nose under the veil was slightly up, Meng Xi secretly looked at Yuyi, as if she could outline her appearance under the veil from her eyes.
Who knows, Qiyin appeared again, one bent down between Yuyi and Meng Xi, two pairs of eyes staring at Meng Xi, blocking his vision of peeking at Yuyi, this time, Meng Xi was not frightened, he was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked away at the fire.
Qiyin glanced at Meng Xi and walked to Yuyi and sat down.
The seven tones under the firelight are transparent, as if they are about to evaporate.
Meng Xi couldn't help but glance at Qiyin, who was also looking at Meng Xi.
The water in the small pot boiled, Yuyi lifted the lid, a light fragrance wafted out, and the smoke curled up, Meng Xi smelled and was subconsciously hungry.
Yuyi took a bowl of soup and handed it to Meng Xi, the soup cooled for a while, and when Meng Xi took the first sip, he accidentally found that Yuyi didn't give him a bowl, so he couldn't help asking, "Don't you drink some?"
Yuyi flicked a few sticks of wood and said, "I'm not hungry." ”
Meng Xi didn't think deeply when she heard her say this.
"Hey, why aren't you afraid of me at all?" Qiyin suddenly asked, obviously asking Meng Xi.
Meng Xi was stunned, and seemed to be seriously considering how to reply. After a long time, he looked at Qiyin and Yuyi, and said: "There are many things to be afraid of, and I ...... myself" Meng Xi suddenly paused, bypassed this sentence, and continued: "There is nothing to be afraid of, everything in the world has spirits, all living beings are equal, what is strange and strange, besides, it is the girl next to me who saved me, she is not afraid, what am I afraid of." ”
"Ordinary people can't see me, and those who can see me are not people. Qiyin said.
When Meng Xi heard Qiyin's words, a trace of gloom flashed in his cold deep eyes, and then he raised his eyes to look at Yuyi.
Yuyi stared at the firelight silently. Firewood was burning in the fire, and the atmosphere in the air condensed for a moment, and no one could break it.
Yuyi got up at this time, looked at Meng Xi, and said, "It's not early, you rest early, don't touch the wound again, otherwise it will be easy to fester." He turned his head and looked at Qiyin again, and said lightly: "I'll go in first." ”
Qiyin didn't say a word, boredly playing with a few gravels on the ground, but her hand was through the stones, and she couldn't catch it, but she didn't get tired of it.
Yuyi walked into the hut, and Meng Xi followed behind her.
The black brocade clothes on Meng Xi's body had several holes, which were caused by the sword.
There was only one bed in the room, and Yuyi laid dry straw in the corner of the wall, just enough to lie down on herself, and she knelt on the straw to tidy up the humble resting place.
Meng Xi stood three feet behind her, looking at Yuyi's slender back, slightly distracted.
Yuyi seemed to be aware, turned his head, and glanced at Meng Xi's eyes.
Yuyi's inquiring gaze made Meng Xi's eyes flash, and then he said a little hesitantly: "That ...... outside"
Yuyi replied, "Leave her alone, just rest." ”
Meng Xi still looked at her, the expression on his face was a little unnatural, he had been in the deep palace for a long time, there were few people in contact, and his education was different from that of other princes, the teacher explained to him that it was because his father did not want him to get involved in the disputes of the royal family, he had read many books, but no one taught him how to get along with people. But he knew that he should be rewarded for his favors.
Xu is Meng Xi stared at her for a long time, Yuyi frowned, she glanced at Meng Xi, and before she could ask, she only heard Meng Xi say: "I sleep here, you sleep there!" Meng Xi lowered his head and no longer looked at Yuyi.
Yuyi's eyebrows curled slightly, and she smiled briefly, disappreciating, "I'm used to sleeping here, and now I just want to heal your injuries, and when you get better, you can leave." ”
Yuyi's words were very direct, but Meng Xi could only look up at her.
"Rest in peace!" Yuyi finished speaking, and lay down with his clothes back to Meng Xi.
Meng Xi's wound hurt again, he covered his chest, walked back to the bed, and when he lay down, he subconsciously glanced at Yuyi again, Yuyi was still facing away from him, motionless.
Candles were lit in the room, and there was a faint smell of medicine mixed with a hint of musty.
Maybe it was because he had been asleep for five days and five nights, Meng Xi couldn't sleep at this time, his body was lying straight, his hands were on his abdomen, and he was staring at the roof with his eyes open. Think of something you can't figure out.
In the middle of the night, the candles had already burned out, Meng Xi sat up from the bed, and the night outside came in, and there was a little dim light in the room.
Meng Xi got out of bed softly, picked up his coat and walked over to Yuyi, and the clothes were gently draped over Yuyi's body.
When Meng Xi walked out of the house, Yuyi opened her eyes, her ears and eyes were too sharp, and she would wake up with a slight movement, she grabbed the coat on her body, leaned out slightly and looked at Meng Xi who walked out of the house.
The fire in the courtyard was only a pile of sparks, and there was still smoke, and the seven tones were not there.
Cheng Yu flew through the jungle, flew near the surrounding mountain, hovered high in the air, and then flew down, and when he landed, the crow's true body instantly turned into a human form.
Cheng Yu smelled the smell of peach blossom wine, and when he saw Bai Jiuyue's figure at a glance, he shook his head helplessly, he knew that he was here. Cheng Yu walked towards Baijiuyue.
Bai Jiuyue sat on a big stone, his body pillowing a stone wall, as if he was asleep, and two or three wine bottles fell under his feet. Bai Jiuyue did not wear bright red clothes this time, but wore a whole set of plain white, looking like a fairy.
Cheng Yu stood beside Bai Jiuyue, sighed, and kicked the wine bottle under his feet, and the wine bottle hit the stone with a crisp sound. Bai Jiuyue just frowned and didn't wake up.
"I thought if you found her, you wouldn't hide here and drink. ”
Cheng Yu wanted to take Bai Jiu Yue back, but as soon as he got close, a big red tail appeared behind Bai Jiu Yue to block Cheng Yu.
I don't know if Bai Jiuyue is not sleeping or dreaming, rubbing his head against the stone wall, his eyes are not opened, but he makes a sound, and his voice is a little drunk, "Don't disturb me to accompany her." ”
Cheng Yu pimpled one, pointed at Bai Jiuyue, and didn't know what to say. I had to hit the red tail in front of me, this time, Bai Jiuyue suddenly jumped out of the back of nine red tails, one tail after another was swinging flexibly, and two tails actually made a knot.
Cheng Yu was embarrassed, and it was really a drunk fox.
Cheng Yu was not looking at Bai Jiu Yue, but stared at the stone wall that Bai Jiu Yue was leaning on, and there was a line of small characters on the left side of the stone wall, with mottled handwriting, which was obviously carved for a long time.
Cheng Yu was too lazy to pay attention to Baijiuyue and turned to leave.
"Shangshu: The Surviving One Hundred and Nine Yue".
Bai Jiuyue slowly opened his eyes, reached out and stroked the cold line of words on the stone wall, and then closed his eyes with peace of mind.
