Chapter XVIII
Easily dealing with a few bandits, Liang Yi bent over and began to pack up the baggage and stone gourd thrown on the ground, not noticing the strange color in Xia Xixue's eyes on the side. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Tie the burden and scabbard behind him and tie it tightly, Liang Yi looked up at Xia Xixue, who was looking at him a little distracted, suddenly remembered something, and then smiled lightly.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Awakened by Liang Yi's sudden questioning, Xia Xixue's face suddenly appeared with a drunken blush, her eyes averted, she didn't dare to look at her, she lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes with tattered patches with both hands, with a hint of shyness, and said with a hint of shyness.
“... Oh, Xia Xixue ......"
"It's a beautiful name, my name is Liang Yi. Looking at Xia Xixue's shyness, Liang Yi seemed to remember that when he turned eight years old half a year ago, those girls who came to his house to marry him were also like this, and he couldn't help but smile faintly, and then said softly.
"Xue'er thanks Liang Gongzi for saving his life, if it wasn't for Gongzi's action, Xue'er would have died long ago. Squatting among several corpses, Xia Xixue suddenly turned around and bowed widely, gratefully.
"Childe's call is awkward, you still call me Liang Yi. Hands hurriedly helped him up, Liang Yi chuckled slightly.
"It's just a gesture, the bandits do a lot of evil, and everyone gets to be punished. ”
"For the childe, it's just a gesture, for Xue'er, the grace of saving lives is greater than heaven and earth, and I dare not forget, my mother has taught Xue'er this way since she was sensible......" made a big gift again, Xia Xixue said respectfully, her delicate little face was full of seriousness, and then she seemed to suddenly remember something crucial, her face turned pale, and her expression showed a strong sense of worry and anxiety.
"Mother... Xue'er is really damned, she almost forgot about her mother, and her mother is sick and still waiting for Xue'er at home...... Childe, Xue'er has an urgent matter to go home, and she can't repay the grace of saving her life, so she asks Childe and Xue'er to go home to sit down first. With anxiety on her face and tears rolling in her eyes, Xia Xixue looked at Liang Yi and said urgently.
"It's okay, I'm a little tired after walking all morning, and it's good to rest my feet. Nodding, Liang Yi didn't refuse, he was not in a hurry, and he obviously couldn't catch up with the next town today, so it would be good to have a place to rest for a while.
Xia Xixue's house is several miles away from the barren stone road here, and she needs to cross several mountains and forests, which no longer belongs to the area of Wuyangling.
The road between the woods was not easy to walk, overgrown with weeds and thorns, and there was still a narrow slope over the woods, and the two of them walked for about half an hour before they saw the thatched house in the woods from a distance.
The thatched hut is not big, you can vaguely see that there are holes everywhere, the muddy walls are full of cracks, dilapidated, the mountain wind blows, swaying as if it is about to collapse, looking at it in the eyes makes Liang Yi's heart unbearable for a while, the mother and daughter have been living in such a dilapidated place and living hard, it is Grandpa Bian's broken teahouse and the simple bamboo house he temporarily built in Qianzhu Peak are several times better than it.
If it's sunny, if it's raining and windy, I really don't know how to spend it in this dilapidated thatched hut.
When the two of them walked to the front of the house, Xia Xixue suddenly stepped forward and pushed open the door of the house, and said urgently.
"Mother, Xue'er is back, Xue'er picked a lot of herbs, and immediately went to boil the medicine. ”
There is only one straw shop for one person to sleep in the grass hut, and there is a straw mat on top of the straw bunk, and there is a stove built of several stones on the side, and there are a few pieces of charcoal under the stove that are shining faintly sparks, and there is a dilapidated clay pot on the stove, and there are some unboiled dregs in the clay pot, except for these, there are some dry straw in the corner of the straw hut messily spread together, and a deep indentation of several feet in the middle is pressed, which seems to be pressed by someone sleeping on it every day.
Slowly entering the grass house, all these scenes suddenly came into Liang Yi's eyes, and immediately made his brows furrow, his expression showed unbearable, and there was an extremely thin woman lying on the grass bunk, thinking that it was Xia Mu.
At this time, Xia Mu was thin, her arms exposed outside her clothes were like thin dry wood, her slightly wrinkled face was haggard and sickly, her face was pale, her eyes were closed and there was a deep pain between her eyebrows, and she coughed a few times from time to time.
Liang Yi, who was standing at the door, slowly approached the grass shop, looked at Xia Mu on the straw mat, his eyes showed a trace of unbearable color, slowly squatted down, and combined his fingers to probe Xia Mu's exposed wrist veins, and after a while, slowly let go of his hand, Liang Yi shook his head, and his eyes showed sadness.
After staying with Doctor Mo for a while, Liang Yi also followed the fur of some pulse detection techniques, and only then did he probe the pulse for Xia Mu, whose pulse was extremely weak, coming and going, if he did not explore carefully, he was afraid that it would be difficult to feel, and then look at his face, Yin Tang was black, as if there was a dead air wandering, and it was clear that there was more air in and less air out between breaths, and it was obvious that he was terminally ill, and time was running out, Mo said that time was running out, in Liang Yi's opinion, Xia Mu could not believe that she could hold on until now.
As if feeling the warmth from her wrist, Xia Mu slowly opened her closed eyes, and her godless gaze slowly scanned, but she found the young man in front of her, and the strange handsome young man who appeared in front of her made her look stunned, and her pale face showed a trace of doubt.
"Is Cher back?... Ahem... Are you?" looked at the strange young man in front of her, Xia Mu suddenly had a look of pain on her face, and then coughed violently a few times, and after it calmed down, she asked in a weak voice.
"Mother, this is Liang Yi Liang Gongzi, today Xue'er went to collect medicine and was stopped by the group of damn thieves in Wuyangling, it was Liang Gongzi who saved Xue'er, otherwise Xue'er would almost not see her mother. Taking out the clean herbs wrapped in the coarse cloth bag in her arms one by one and stuffing them into the broken clay pot on the stove, Xia Xixue looked at her mother and said with a chuckle, and secretly glanced at Liang Yi, who was squatting in front of the straw shop and looking at her mother, and suddenly a blush appeared on her face, and she lowered her head embarrassedly.
Xia Xixue's shyness did not hide from Xia Mu's eyes, her eyes looked at the young man in front of her again, and the doubts on Xia Mu's pale face faded, revealing a touch of gratitude.
"Thank you Shaoxia for rescuing me, those bandits do all kinds of evil, if it weren't for Shaoxia, I'm afraid my Xue'er would not be able to escape the poisonous hands of that group of animals......" Xia Mu's pale and powerless face appeared with gratitude, and said in a weak voice, with a strong sense of gratitude in her tone, and she was ready to stand up and salute Liang Yi.
Seeing this, Liang Yi hurriedly stopped and stabilized Xia Mu's figure, Liang Yi shook his head and said softly.
"Auntie is serious... My aunt must not move, her illness is deep, and if she moves again, she will affect the already scarce qi and blood in her body, and she is afraid that her life will be in danger. ”
Lying on the straw mat, Xia Mu looked at Liang Yi in front of her, with a pale smile on her face, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she felt.
"I know my illness, and I won't live long...... Liang Yi Shaoxia, I have something to ask for, I don't know if I can agree......"
"Uncle said that it doesn't matter, as long as it is within Liang Yi's ability, he will do his best to do it. Without the slightest hesitation, Liang Yi nodded, his face was solemn, and he said solemnly.
"After I die, I also asked Shaoxia to help take care of Xue'er, I am such a daughter, her father died early in the hands of the bandits, since I was a child, I have depended on each other, I have suffered a lot, the only thing I can't let go of in my heart is her, if Shaoxia can help me take care of Xue'er, I will die, and I will be relieved......" Turning to Xia Xixue on the side, Xia's mother showed a strong love and reluctance in her eyes, and then looked at Liang Yi again.
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about, you are fine, you won't die. Xia Xixue, who was fiddling with the broken clay pot and making a fire on the side, glanced at her when she heard this, frowned slightly, pouted, and then turned around and continued to boil the medicine.
"Aunt, I promise you, I will take care of her, as long as I, Liang Yi, am still alive in the world, I will never let her suffer a little" After thinking for a moment, Liang Yi's face was very solemn, and his voice was low and serious, and he said seriously word by word.
Liang Yi's serious words immediately made Xia Xixue's little face turn red instantly, and she glanced at her secretly, and immediately lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Thank you Shaoxia, so I... Rest assured, even if you die... Dumbfounded, Xue'er, you must listen to Shaoxia's words in the future, don't make trouble for Shaoxia, you must ...... well" vaguely seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, a touch of ruddy gradually appeared on her face, Xia's mother showed a hint of relief in her eyes, looked at Liang Yi, and then looked at her daughter, with a touch of reluctance in her eyes, and whispered, but before she finished speaking, she suddenly lost her voice.
Liang Yi on the side immediately looked shocked, his fingers trembled lightly and placed it on Xia Mu's person, and then he froze suddenly, and then slowly retracted, with a touch of sadness on his face, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly whispered to Xia Xixue, who was still focusing on boiling medicine, his voice trembled slightly, and there were tears in the corners of Liang Yi's eyes.
"Cherish the snow...... Medicine... Don't boil it, aunt she...... Went to ......"
The look of relief on Xia's mother's face froze, her eyes slowly closed, but she didn't snort, she was already dead, and she thought that she could survive until now because she had been relieved of her daughter, and now the worry in her heart disappeared, and the breath that had been tightly lifted was loosened, and it was naturally ......
Xia Xixue, who was on the side, looked stunned when she heard this, and her hand fiddling with the medicine jar suddenly shook, knocking the medicine jar to the ground and shattering it, and the herbs and slag water inside flowed out, soaking the ground.
Slowly turned around, with a hint of disbelief, looked at the mother on the straw mat, for a while, Xia Xixue's expression suddenly froze!
"Mother's !!" legs were weak, Xia Xixue knelt on the ground, hurriedly climbed in front of the straw mat with her hands and feet, looked at her mother who was already blind, tears in her eyes gushed out like a spring, and she cried out in grief.
"Mother, wake up... Wake up......"
"Mother, don't leave Xue'er, Xue'er is your relative, you can't leave Xue'er alone......"
"If you're gone, what will Cher do alone......"
Silently looking at everything in front of him, a sad scar in Liang Yi's heart was also revealed, half a year ago, he also suffered the pain of losing his loved ones.
He deeply understood what a desperate pain that feeling was!
There was a faint pain in his heart, Liang Yi didn't deliberately comfort the grief-stricken Xia Xixue, closed his eyes and couldn't bear to look at it, turned his head, and two lines of tears slowly slipped down his cheeks......
