Chapter 10 The teenager flows in the moonlight
It doesn't take much time from Wuhui Mountain to Yuanyi City. The ambush in the mountains and canyons along the way is naturally indispensable. Most of the time, it is Xin Yimian's single-knife. Red sandalwood just found a comfortable place to look at it. Occasionally, she bumps into the muzzle with no long eyes and solves it by the way.
Xin Yimian is also clearly aware of a problem. With the deepening of the break time, he is more and more shocked: this seemingly thirteen-year-old teenager is unfathomable. No matter how dangerous it is, he has never seen him do it with all his strength.
After entering from the gate of Yuanyi City, they did not stop in the city. They crossed the bustling road and went straight out of the city. At that time, dusk had arrived, and there were two fast horses in the sunset. The people on the horse passed the golden light, and the gate slowly closed behind them.
After leaving the city, when the horse went straight to a yard with a tall banyan tree at the door, the teenager with fiery red hair changed his mood from cold all the way to restless. At that time, the moon was already drooping in the sky.
The horse under the red sandalwood came, pulling the rein and standing by the broad roots of the banyan tree. He looked up and saw the teenager standing at the door pulling the horse. His hand was raised, but he did not knock it down for a long time.
However, these four words appeared in the head of red sandalwood. She remembered that Xin Yimian briefly talked about the situation in his family on the way: he had a younger sister, Xin Yixi, and a sick father, Xin Yan, who was sick in bed, that simple. It looks ordinary, if you have to say so.
Xin Yimian's hand still fell, and a crisp sound fell in this cool and windy night. Almost at the same time, the door opened with a "squeak" after his falling sound.
Slowly, the door was getting bigger and bigger, and a woman's face became clearer and clearer behind the door. That's a very beautiful girl, a standard melon seed face, willow eyebrows, big bright eyes, a straight nose, and a small mouth. At this moment, he stared at the person in front of him with disbelief. Then, she bumped into the arms of the person at the door, hugged him carelessly, closed her eyes, and put her chin on his shoulder.
Red sandalwood just looked at it quietly. Not far away, this girl should be his precious sister Xin Yixi. She noticed that his voice was unusually soft when the name was mentioned.
Red sandalwood looked at the two brothers and sisters. The girl who had closed her eyes and buried her head on Xin Yimian's shoulder suddenly opened her eyes for some reason, and their eyes met unexpectedly. The red sandalwood was very calm and half-conspicated, but Xin Yixi was obviously a little stunned.
Until many years later, Xin Yixi clearly remembered the picture of the two when they first met: there was a little teenager standing under the banyan tree outside the courtyard. The moonlight hit through the mottled shadow of the tree. There was a bright or dark light on his face, which could not be seen. However, under the layers of light and shadow, she still clearly saw that a pair of clean eyes seemed to penetrate the space with the essence of moonlight fusion, so moist and dazzling.
He held the reins in his hand, and the strong horse lay beside him obediently. He just glanced at her and lowered his head and whispered something to the horse. The moonlight polished his cheeks softly.
Seeing her staring behind her, Xin Yimian helped her turn around and look under the big banyan tree and said, "His name is You Linmu"
Xin Yixi let go of his hand, saluted the little teenager, and said softly, "My name is Xin Yixi. I will call you Linmu in the future, okay?"
Red sandalwood looked up, gently nodded to her, and floated in the wind with a faint "sup with you".
Xin Yi smiled, then looked around for a while and whispered, "Let's go first and talk about it."
Two horses were tied under the tree, and the three walked to the courtyard gate. As it got closer and closer, red sandalwood finally understood why Xin Yixi's careful move was. Inside the half-covered courtyard door was a body that had not been cleaned up in a hurry, broken hands and feet, broken knives, and blood stains all over the ground.
Another man is throwing corpses into a big pit in the flower house.
Xin Yixi looked back at the red sandalwood worriedly and was relieved to see that he had no special reaction. He shouted happily to the middle-aged man who disposed of the body, "Uncle Gu, look, my brother is back."
With that, he pulled Xin Yimian behind him.
The middle-aged man named Uncle Gu raised his head, just glanced at Xin Yimian and then lowered his head to move in his hand. A very dull voice came from his mouth: "Things?"
Xin Yimian carefully took out the dead leaf clover from his arms and handed it to him. The butterfly-like leaves seemed to spread their wings and fly away in the night sky.
After taking over the dead leaf grass, he turned around and walked to the inner hall, leaving only one sentence: "Come back and start to help."
In his response, the two brothers and sisters did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, they quickly started to clean up the yard. Obviously, they were used to it.
The red sandalwood leaned against the door of the pulled courtyard and watched as the corpses being added fertilizer, and the wind was getting cooler and cooler.
All night, the man named Uncle Gu didn't say a word to her, as if there was no outsider in the air, and she didn't want to give a hand or something. On the way, the girl named Xin Yixi took time to chat with her, including telling her, "Uncle Gu is indifferent. Don't mind. He only came to my house during this period of time to treat my father's illness. His name is Gu Yan.
The red sandalwood made it clear, the ghost doctor's ancient saying. This person, the master once mentioned, is said that he regards human life as grass mustard and is known as the first person in medical skills in the world. However, when it came to the first, the master was obviously disdainful and deliberately aggravated the word 'in the world'.
Until the last flower moved back to its original place, there was no trace of blood in the whole yard. The man named Uncle Gu suddenly came to her and said to her, "Little friend, how about a cup of tea?"
The red sandalwood nodded and walked under the only brocade tree in the yard, where there was a set of stone tables and chairs.
Xin Yixi looked up at his brother and said uncertainly, "Uncle Gu, what will he do to that little boy?"
"Don't worry, everything will happen." Looking at the two people who did it against each other, Xin Yimian said. That little boy can't do what others want to do to him.
The brocade wood was shaken by the sudden wind. Under the floating branches, the two sat leisurely.
Gu Yan pressed the tea in the cup, took a shallow sip, and said, "I don't know where the little friend came from?"
Red sandalwood leaned against the big tree behind it and returned lazily: "No return to town."
He still bowed his head and played with the teacup in his hand, and the slightly slanting water showed the face of the person opposite. This tea is too clean." I don't know if Xiaoyou has ever been to Wuhui Mountain?
Do you want to investigate the account? Xin Yimian promised not to expose her where she came from, so she would definitely do it. She covered her eyebrows and said faintly, "I've heard of it."
"Have you just heard of it?"
"I've heard of it." As for whether it's just's been heard, it depends on how he understands it.
"Yi Mian said that he met the dead leaf clover by chance, but it is as rare as the dead leaf clover, and there are only a handful in the whole continent. Although I'm sure that there is no return on the mountain, it's really hard to believe that he will have such good luck." Looking at the surface of the water, he continued in a dull voice, "I wonder if Xiaoyou knows how the dead leaf clover of the Xin family got it?"
Is it a good thing to bully her when she is young?" I haven't heard him mention it," she said. Of course he didn't have to mention it. She witnessed it all.
Put down the teacup, take out a porcelain bottle from your arms, and pour out a brown pill. Gu Yan gently put the pills on the stone table in front of the red sandalwood. This is the sugar pill I practice in my spare time. It has the effect of promoting growth and developing brain power. The most important thing is that it is very sweet, and it has a refreshing fragrance. It tastes good. You might as well try it.
Red sandalwood is secretly funny. Does this man really think she is only thirteen years old? However, she hasn't eaten this for ten years, has she? Don't talk about sugar or anything when he follows the master. He didn't treat her as a child at all. She suddenly became interested, gently picked up the sugar pills on the table, sniffed pleasantly at the tip of her nose, and then threw it into her mouth.
Gu Yan saw that his stiff cheeks were a little loose. After a while, I saw the little teenager opposite him stroking his forehead, and his eyes seemed to be angry, foggy and hazy.
Xin Yixi has been looking at the situation over there. Seeing that the red sandalwood ate what was given by the ancient saying, she frowned and said, "What did Uncle Gu eat for Linmu?" He doesn't really treat a child, does he? No, I have to go and have a look. After all, the people who come are guests. With that, he had to step on his feet.
Xin Yimian grabbed her arm at the right time. He just saw the man looking at him when he smelled the medicine, and the bottom of his eyes seemed to have a faint smile. Yixi is not familiar with him, but they have been together for so long, at least he can be sure that he absolutely doesn't want to be as simple on the surface. Don't worry, my brother promises that he will be fine. You might as well take a look first."
Xin Yixi paused. He was just a child. Uncle Gu had no reason to be unfavorable to him, right? Even if Uncle Gu really wants to do something, the two brothers and sisters can't help. In this case, it's not like to wait and see what happens.
Looking at the confused face on the water, Gu Yan finally put down the teacup he had been holding, raised his head and stared into his eyes, with a bewitching voice: "Who found the dead leaf clover?"
Red sandalwood's eyes were dull, and he received it dullly: "I."
Very good. Gu Yan continued to ask, "Where did you find it?"
"In a deep hole under the mountain." Red sandalwood opened his unfocused eyes and replied without blinking.
"Hone? Where exactly is it at the foot of the mountain? What's in it? Is it dangerous?" A place where children can enter should not be dangerous, right?
Sure enough, I only heard her answer: "It's not dangerous. It's in the pool at the foot of the right mountain. I accidentally saw it when I was playing with water. I went in as soon as I walked. There were a lot of flowers and plants in it. I saw that the butterfly-like grass was very beautiful, so I picked it back.
A lot of flowers and plants? The child should be talking about a lot of herbs. Dead leaf herb is a rare medicinal material, and it is not too bad to be born with it. Why are you with Yimian?"
"When I went down the mountain, I happened to meet him going up the mountain. He was very excited to see the butterfly grass in my hand and said that it was a life-saving medicine. Anyway, I only thought it was good-looking. He said he could use it to save people, so I gave it to him."
Give grass to others, and give yourself to others?" Why did you come to his house?
Still blurred eyes, she naturally received "He said that I helped him find what he wanted, and he wanted to thank me. I've been alone since I was a child. He said that I would have a good life with him, so I came. Anyway, no matter how bad it is, it's not much worse.
Gu Yan looked at her obviously inappropriate clothes. The children of the poor are basically worn by adults, which is in line. It seems that he is indeed just an ordinary child who has no return to town. The reason why he felt calm before was that it was just a precocious child who grew up alone.
After figuring out the beginning and the end, Gu Yan was not going to ask any more questions. Sitting quietly, waiting for time to slowly flow through the tea.
