Chapter 67 Cloud & Water
The air froze for a moment.
In the dead silence, Shui Youhan saw Yunhua and Meng Zhongzheng sitting neatly on two wooden chairs.Yunhua's right hand was placed flat in front of the wooden table, and there was a bright red bloody mouth on the pad of the index finger.
It was a slender opening, and Meng Zhong twisted an equally small tweezer between his fingers and was probing into it.
On the pool of blood on the corner of the table, there is a sharp wooden thorn.
However, Shui Youhan broke into the door suddenly, causing the two of them to stop their movements in astonishment, and turned to look at her, their thoughts seemed to be still stuck in that "stop".
Shui Youhan met these two shocked and puzzled eyes, his tightly knit brows gradually loosened, and the expression on his face suddenly became strange in this silence.
At first, the sides of the ears were stained with a blush, and then all the way down, in the blink of an eye, the blush went straight to the heel of the neck at a speed like a fire.
The expression on her face froze unnaturally, she paused for a while, and then said slowly: "Are you... injured?"
"It's okay, it's nothing serious." Yunhua wiped off the sweat on her forehead, turned her head and urged Meng Zhong: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up."
Meng Zhong woke up like a dream and quickly nodded "Oh" twice: "Yunhua, hold on a little longer, it will be fine soon."
The small tweezers in Meng Zhong's hand began to slowly poke in through the opening in the fingertips, Yun Hua let out a "hiss", and Meng Zhong hurriedly pressed her wrist with the other hand to prevent her from moving and hurting.
Every time the tweezers penetrated a little into the flesh, Yunhua couldn't stop trembling.If you want to blame, blame it for being too careless this morning. When grabbing medicine from the tree, you accidentally broke a branch with too much force, and the wooden thorn pierced the skin and mixed into the flesh and blood.
I couldn't get it out after tossing for a long time, so I had to come back and ask Meng Zhong for help.Yunhua took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and waved at Shui Youhan who was standing in front of the door: "Okay, okay, it's nothing serious, you can go for a walk first."
Shui Youhan just waited quietly, until Meng Zhong picked out all the wooden thorns in Yunhua's flesh, and then Yunhua walked to the door suspiciously: "What's the matter? Are you tired from walking? Go in and rest for a while Bar."
"In the future, when you go to the back mountain to collect herbs, can you take me with you?"
From that day on, the earliest person to get up in Peach Valley was no longer Yunhua, but Shuiyouhan.
Yunhua discovered that this person was not only a piece of wood, but also a stone.I wanted to tell her to take a good rest and not to follow in vain, but she just refused to listen and stubbornly wanted to follow.As soon as the words of persuasion were mentioned, she would keep a silent and cold face, making people helpless like an immovable ice.
In the first few days, Yunhua originally wanted to get up early to keep quiet, so she left quietly.Unexpectedly, every time she opened her eyes, the other couch was already empty, and Shui Youhan was leaning on her bamboo crutches and waiting beside her, seeing her wake up, she did not forget to add: "I have already washed up. "
Yunhua felt that when she said this, she looked very "satisfied".
The bamboo crutches that Shui Youhan used to support his body have changed from two to one, and the mountain road in Peach Valley is not rugged, it is almost all gentle soil and mud all the way down, and then gradually widens at the end of the road.She slowly followed behind Yunhua at an ordinary speed, barely too strenuous.
"Are you following me like this because you're afraid that I'll pick some poisonous weeds that will hurt you?" Yunhua asked casually while squatting on the ground digging herbs.
She was so focused on the medicinal materials that she didn't see Shui Youhan's smile and could only hear a voice beside her ear saying, "En."
Yunhua immediately turned her head and gave her a supercilious look. After despising her, she went to the next place to find herbs.
She was lightly digging the soil with a wooden hoe, and was pulling the roots of a hyssop.Shui Youhan came up to him and asked, "Didn't you dig out this prescription?"
"Where did you dig it?" Yunhua looked up at her suspiciously, not remembering when she had picked achyranthes before.
Shui Youhan picked out a similar herb from the basket and handed it to her. Yunhua laughed out loud when she saw it, pulled up the hyssop and handed it over to her for comparison: "Do you see that it's the same? ?”
Putting the two herbs in the same place for comparison, Shui Youhan discovered that although the two herbs were [-]% similar in appearance, the leaves on the grass in Yunhua's hand were obviously bigger than the one in his own. a little bigger.
"You're so stupid, you're called licorice, it's mainly used to restore your muscles and bones, now, this one is Achyranthes knuckle, it's for your living." Yunhua pointed to two herbs and told her, before throwing them into the basket up.
Shui Youhan nodded thoughtfully, then shook his head again: "It seems to me that they all look the same."
"That's normal. When I first came here, I also picked up a bunch of miscellaneous broken grass for Meng Zhong. After a few more visits, I can recognize it clearly."
"Well, then you bring me here a few more times."
From then on, the two went up and down the mountain together every day. Although taking care of Shui Youhan's walking speed made it take more time to collect herbs than before, Yunhua felt a lot easier.Sometimes Shui Youhan would follow by her side, and would help find a lot of herbs she needed. If she found a mistake, she would nod and throw it aside, and if she found the right one, she would help put it in the back basket.
The most frequently asked question by Yunhua in Houshan is "Are you tired", just like Shui Youhan always reminds her to "be careful".
Shui Youhan recovered faster and faster, and under Yunhua's careful care, his limb mobility improved significantly day by day. With three days left in a month, Shui Youhan completely broke away from the last bamboo crutch.
But as soon as the illness recovered, the two of them now faced a new problem.They should be leaving now.
Shui Youhan is the left protector of the Blood Lotus Sect, she should go back to the Blood Lotus Sect early, and Yunhua also has her own place.
Once they leave Peach Valley now, the two of them should be completely separated.Yunhua thought about the sudden problem she was about to face, she took the bamboo crutch aside, walked back and forth very slowly, lowered her head and just stared at the ground.
The moment she put down the bamboo crutches, it was like letting go of a burden in her heart.She took a deep breath and stood up, first saying goodbye to Meng Zhong.
Meng Zhong was obviously reluctant to let go, and asked several times to confirm that she was really going to leave, sighed long and reluctantly, and said: "Then you must remember to come to me when you still need help, right, right, These things are for you, so prepare them and take them with you on the road." Meng Zhong brought a bag, which contained all the panacea he had researched when he was away from the valley all these years. "Yunhua, the world is dangerous outside, you have to be more careful, you must keep these medicines in case you need them."
Yunhua put the burden on her shoulders, and muttered, "Meng Zhong, you are a big man, why are you such a mother-in-law?" She patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, I'll go first, and I'll come back to see you later."
"Okay, then you must remember to come to me!"
When Yunhua passed by outside, the Drunken Immortal still kept the posture he had when he came. He raised his neck and took a sip of the wine in the gourd, narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Two little friends, take care of yourself."
"Smelly old man, I'm leaving. It's better that you are not dead when I come next time. Take care of your monkeys and don't let them run around the mountain."
"Uncle Jiu, take care." Shui Youhan nodded slightly.
After leaving Peach Valley, Yunhua glanced back at her unintentionally: "The water is still cold, I'll get on the carriage first, I've taken care of you for so long, let me take care of you later, can't it be too much?"
"Where are you going?"
"The Temple of Islam." Yunhua answered the answer that she had thought of a long time ago without thinking.She wanted to leave first, not because she was in a hurry, but because she didn't want to watch Shui Youhan leave in place.
"...No." Shui Yuhan's voice almost made Yunhua think that she had heard wrong, and turned around with her eyes wide open, "What did you say?"
"Can you," Shui Youhan secretly exerted force on his sword-holding hand, "accompany me to another place first."
Yunhua noticed that when she said this, there was a strange emotion flashing in her eyes, which was very different from the calmness of the past, and there seemed to be an undercurrent of depression in her eyes floating uncomfortably.
If this kind of look appeared on the face of an expressive person, then what his five sense organs showed together should be - fear.
Seeing the traces of moving on Shui Youhan's cold and resolute outline, Yunhua's heart softened, and she agreed without thinking about anything.
Only one carriage came and took away the two people in no particular order.
Shui Youhan was sitting in the carriage with downcast eyes, listening to the sound of the wheels rolling under her feet, she involuntarily grasped the scabbard tightly.
Suddenly the other hand was grabbed by Yunhua and touched it: "Why is your hand so cold?" Not only was it cold, but there was sweat oozing from it.
Shui Youhan slowly opened his eyes, tilted his head to look away, his lips moved a few times, but no sound came out.
"Okay, okay, don't say it if you don't want to say it." Seeing her nervous and embarrassed look, Yunhua inexplicably saw a trace of grievance in her expression, and pulled her heart out, repeatedly comforting: "It's okay, I'm going with you, don't worry, it's okay, I'm here."
Shui Youhan nodded and hummed, subconsciously grabbing her hand.
The carriage traveled smoothly all the way, and finally stopped in front of a mansion at the entrance of an alley on the west side of the city.
The iron gate outside was sprayed with bright vermilion lacquer, shining brightly between two squatting dark stone lions. The animal head on the gate holds the door knocker, and both eyes are shining brightly with green emerald jade. The dark brown-bottomed plaque on the front of the building is engraved with two vigorous gold-plated characters of "Golden Mansion", and an aristocratic style seems to rush towards the face.
Yunhua got out of the carriage and went to the front to have a look. Immediately, she was stopped by two guards holding long guns in front of the door, and asked the presumptuous man sharply, "Who is it?"
Yunhua turned her head and pointed to the gate as a signal, and asked if Shui Youhan was here.
Shui Youhan nodded and walked up, and said to them, "I'm looking for Jinfujia."
Looking for Master Jin?The two guards looked at each other, "Okay, you wait, I'll report first." One guard opened the door and trotted in, while the other stood still and looked at them.
Why does he think this person in white clothes with a sword looks familiar?The guard patted his dull head with his hand, and looked at Shui Youhan from beginning to end again. There was still a sense of familiarity in his heart, but he just couldn't think of a specific one anyway.
"Hey, what are you looking at!" Seeing that Shui Youhan was uncomfortable being watched by this man, Yunhua immediately went to stand in front of her.
At this time, the guard who was going to report hurriedly ran out, creaked open the two red-painted iron doors, nodded and bowed to the back, and said, "Master, this is the person looking for you."
