Chapter 37: My Word
"Nian'an, I want to drink the fish soup you made......" Qiuqiu dragged out the last note with great difficulty, and turned her head to look at the young man.
She has been drinking medicinal soup for a week, but after she woke up, her condition did not improve as Dr. Zhou said, but worsened.
The boy looked at the girl's waxy face in silence, and a strand of long, somewhat dry hair hung down in embarrassment and stuck to her lips.
"Okay, I'll do it. ”
"But now I suddenly don't want to drink anymore. Qiuqiu rubbed her head against the blue lattice bedding on her body, and shrunk her body even smaller on the bed.
"Okay, I'll do it later. ”
"I just want you to talk to me. At the end of the day, I was able to wake up for a while. ”
Nian An was so difficult that he glanced at the corners of Qiuqiusheng's bloodshot eyes with his spare eyes.
The girl moved her foot, stretched out a piece of the futon and shook it vigorously.
"Nian'an, do you think I'm dying?" Qiuqiu's tone was calm and slow, full of convincing flavor.
......
Nian An was silent for a long time and sighed: "I'm here." ”
Qiuqiu struggled to look up at the recliner in the courtyard and said, "I always thought that death, this old guy was far away from us. ”
"Dr. Zhou said you'll be fine. ”
Dr. Zhou also failed to save Chen Niang. ”
......
Outside the house, the cicadas fell from the trees and hit the ground so hard that they fluttered twice.
"Nian'an, let me tell you honestly, I feel that there are thousands of troops and horses fighting in my chest and abdomen at this moment. Qiuqiu's tone was still so calm, and even a pale smile appeared on his face.
Nian An sat there and bit his fingers, and shook his head slightly, "I'll find a way to get Yu Daochang back." ”
......
Qiuqiu turned her head and changed the subject.
"Is there enough money for medicine?"
"I have saved up in April until now, and the balance of the salary of the Jushi Building has been given to Dr. Zhou. Nian An replied honestly.
"Mine is hidden in the red embroidered shoes at the bottom of my closet. The worker, the helper, the craftsman, they stuffed both shoes to the brim. ”
The girl was a little proud in her voice, but when she looked down, she accidentally saw her fingers that began to bleed at some point, and she bit her lip and quietly put her hand down and hid it in the futon.
"Nian'an, how are you practicing these two days? I don't know how to supervise you about this,"
"If you're not in good health, I won't practice anymore. Nian'an's tone was full of stubbornness.
The girl was so angry that she raised her hand and hit him.
"What a chance, you don't want to get ahead?" the girl seemed to be in pain, and the second half of the sentence was lowered.
Nian An nodded, "I don't want to." ”
"What about the work of the Layman's House?"
"I'll quit tomorrow. ”
Qiuqiu clutched the futon and sighed with a wry smile.
......
"Nian'an, I just thought of three things, you must promise me. Qiuqiu said as she took her hand out of the futon and counted it one by one.
"First of all, you have to remember to eat three meals a day honestly, I see that you often mistake breakfast, this is not good! ”
Qiuqiu didn't wait for Nian An to answer, and continued: "Second, you have to insist on practicing every day. You see, although I don't understand those advanced cultivation techniques, I can see that your breath is getting more and more stable after practicing the sword every day, and now your body is a lot stronger. ”
"Hey...... There's a lot more to say, but three things don't seem to be enough. Qiuqiu put her two index fingers together and muttered quietly.
......
"Hmm...... Thirdly, so be it, you must promise me that when I die, you must marry a girl who is better than me. ”
Nian An's body swayed, as if he was poured into his face by a basin of ice water.
"I'm ......," the young man's voice rolled in his throat, and the basin of ice water suddenly turned into an ocean and sucked his whole body in, surging and tumbling.
Nian An felt that he was about to drown, and his chest was pressed by something and he couldn't breathe.
......
"Qiuqiu, I'm going to die too. Nian An felt like her whole body was burning.
The little girl was slightly stunned, kicked all the bedding on her body to the ground with her two little feet, and gradually leaned a little closer to the side of the bed where Nian An was.
"When?"
"At the end of April. ”
"The rest of your life told you?"
"I can feel it myself. ”
"Daoist Yu said that if I can't change my life, I won't live to be eighteen. ”
Qiuqiu counted her fingers seriously, "Well, there should be three years, three months and three days." ”
After the little girl said this, she grinned and laughed, "I can feel it now, but it's a little cold." ”
......
Nian An gently lifted the girl's head and put the tip of her nose against the tip of the girl's nose.
"Is it still cold?" Nian An's voice was hoarse and terrifying.
"It's cold. Qiuqiu dragged the tail note well-behaved and flew up.
The young man ripped off all the clothes on his body and hugged Qiuqiu in his arms.
The fine sweat on his head trickled down like rain and dripped on his and Qiuqiu's faces, like a lot of small silver needles that pierced people.
The rain hit the eye sockets of the two men looking at each other, lining their eyes like four sparkling red gems.
It seems to be shining, and it seems to be burning.
"It's not cold, it's not cold. Qiuqiu was so greedy that she rubbed her body in Nian'an's arms.
......
"Sometimes, I feel like a boat tied together in this ocean, floating along with the wind and waves of this world. Any wave can sweep you and me into the sea of ice. Qiuqiu leaned on Nian An's chest, listened to his heartbeat, and occasionally stirred up her hair and played with it on her hands.
Nian An was still afraid that Qiuqiu would catch a cold, so he held her in his arms, stood up and picked up the futon and wrapped it around the two of them.
"It's like nothing is ours, this house is not, the living path of the layman building is not, your cultivation is not, now it's good, even our lives are gone. ”
Nian An sat up straight very seriously, "I said they were, they must be." ”
"Yes, then I must add the small house in Suzhou and Hangzhou to what I just said. ”
"Hmm...... It's not enough, Kyoto has to have a set. Since you say yes, then they are all ......" a warm smile rose into the little girl's pale face, as if in a dream.
The boy only said one "good" word.
......
"Then I'm going to try the gouache that can turn my face white. ”
"That's right, the kind of good-looking Yuehua skirt with silver shine on the waist pleats and light and elegant color is also going to be on. ”
"And the little golden hairpin. ”
"Touching silver necklace. ”
......
......
The girl kept talking, and Nian An held her in her arms and listened carefully.
I don't know how long she spoke, Nian An only remembered that the sun outside the window was already beginning to sink slowly.
The little girl kept saying that her mouth was so sour that she couldn't open her mouth, and she didn't want to stop, as if as long as she kept talking like this, these things would definitely come to her.
......
"I'm sleepy. Qiuqiu's eyelids were desperately fighting.
"Nian'an, are these things really ours?"
"I said yes, and they were. ”
"Wow...... Then you are really a hero with a good temperament......" Qiuqiu's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally fell asleep in Nian'an's arms.
......
"I am. Nian An's voice was calm
