Chapter 148 The Past (4)
Xia Yan stood there for a moment, and suddenly his eyes became dark and he fainted.
The light and shadows in the cave sway, even the simple environment seems moving because of the fire.
The bushes were tightly blocked at the entrance of the cave and the cold wind could not blow in. Jiang Ruan leaned against the stone wall in front of the fire and closed her eyes tiredly.
When she was so nervous, she was relieved that Xiao Shao would not treat her. In her previous life, she was not close to women and was famous for her indifference. Xuan Li tried to give him beauty many times, but in the end she had to return without success. Besides, she is only eleven years old now and is so embarrassed now. If Xiao Shao really had any intentions, it would be blind.
After using Xiao Shao's medicine and taking food, my body gradually became warmer. After running around for a day, I was so tired that I finally couldn't help but fall asleep in a drowsy way.
Before she fell asleep, she thought, how did Xiao Shao answer the question she asked before?
He said: "Mr. Xiao owe you a life."
What does this mean?
Jiang Ruan fell asleep. After a while, he looked at the young man who was ecstatic in the fire and turned his face and stared at Jiang Ruan with thoughts.
The girl has lost her usual sharpness and hostility, leaving only her gentle and beautiful appearance. Her already bright facial features are actually faintly charming under the light of the fire. In time, she will be a beautiful beauty with a vivid and fragrant appearance.
However, Xiao Shao's heart was not fluctuated by the beautiful scenery in front of him. He just lowered his head and took out something in his sleeve. It was the jade butterfly love flower pendant embedded in it.
He lowered his eyes slightly, rubbed his slender fingertips through the pendant, and inexplicable emotions gradually emerged in his eyes.
Time seems to have gone back five years ago.
Five years ago, he had been with the Jinyiwei for five years. As soon as he left the army, he took on a mission. The other party was a fierce commander in southern Xinjiang. This commander itself was not afraid. He had a wizard with strange means around him. In order to establish his authority in the Jinyiwei and for the secret of the mission, he went deep into southern Xinjiang alone.
After seven days and seven nights of movement, he killed the commander and the wizard, and the wizard also used the familiarity of the terrain in southern Xinjiang to get him into a gull.
People in the southern Xinjiang would not relieve him. The fifteen-year-old boy rode his horse back to Beijing and died all the way. There were countless people waiting for him to die. People in the southern Xinjiang released the news that he was seriously injured, and the dark areas in the capital were full of murderous intent.
However, even if he is skilled in martial arts, he cannot prevent the poison from coming in a fierce manner and is extremely weak. He was ambushed all the way on his way back to Beijing, covered in scars, and was actually the worst injury since his birth.
There was an ambush in front and a pursuer behind. In desperation, he hid in a Zen room in Baoguang Temple.
But there was actually someone in the meditation room.
Under the moonlight, a girl who was only five or six years old looked at him in a daze. Xiao Shao frowned and the dagger in his hand suddenly appeared.
However, the girl rushed over clumsyly and said in surprise: "Are you injured?"
He was seriously injured and his black clothes were already soaked. Although he couldn't see them, he was full of blood.
He was in a daze, and the girl had already knelt down beside him and took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms: "This is a medicine for injury, are you okay?"
The injury medicine was just an ordinary injury medicine. The girl carefully pushed away his clothes. He was originally alert, but when he saw the other person's clumsy posture, he felt funny. I don't know which maid of such a young girl.
He confirmed that this was a maid, but because the little girl was dressed in a maid, her words were simple and lively. When the moonlight came over, it shone through her face. Her jade was round and her spirit was so powerful that she was full of aura. Her big eyes were smart and clear, and she was born with beautiful beauty.
Although he is a maid, he doesn't look like a maid.
He was slightly surprised.
The girl insisted on applying medicine to him. He was extremely weak and could not move. He thought that he would die tonight. Even if he could escape the pursuit, he might be able to endure the attack of the poison. He would die at all times and let the girl go.
The girl watched his breathing gradually weaken, but there were tears in her eyes, and she suddenly stood up and ran out.
He thought the girl must have gone out and asked someone to go, but he really didn't have the strength to stop her, and he was too lazy to stop her, so he leaned in the house and waited for the moment when her life ended.
The moonlight was dim, the boy had a peerless face, but his expression was cold. He stepped on the sea of fire all the way, and walked up step by step, the higher and more stable, but the more lonely he was. He didn't know the meaning of living, nor did he know why he lived.
But soon the girl came back.
She held the food and clean water in her hand, and her face was still a little dirty. She timidly pushed the things toward him: "Eat, you will have the strength after eating."
Xiao Shao could understand medical skills. When he looked at the traces on the girl's face, he knew that she was injured. Why was there anyone beaten like this with such a lively and beautiful little girl? He frowned and looked at the food on the ground, and then he understood again. He thought that the little maid should have stole food for him and was discovered, and then he fell into scars.
His heart moved slightly, and the girl looked at him eagerly. Seeing that he was not moving, she tried hard to pick up the bowl and put it to his lips. He was indeed thirsty, so she lowered her head and drank it. Although the girl was struggling to move, she looked very skillful. She thought she would often serve people to drink tea on weekdays.
"Don't die." The girl looked at him and said, "I won't tell anyone you're here."
Xiao Shao didn't say anything.
The girl started feeding him steamed buns again.
When she spoke slowly, she just got better in a few days. The pear blossoms in the West Mountain will bloom, and the peach blossoms in the East Mountain will bloom. She wants to go to see the flowers and plants with her parents, make new clothes and shoes, and the girl next door has a beagle, and she also wants one. The article she made by her brother recently was praised by her father and son, and she will be the first prize in the future.
She was chattering and trying hard to say something interesting to make him happy and not fall asleep. She was so immature that Xiao Shao didn't understand her intentions, but she was just a joke, even though she was not interested.
He felt that this child must have a happy and happy family, and was so kind and warm that he was also very interested in what he said.
The poison unexpectedly did not occur that night, and the simple medicine and food also gradually restored his strength. In the Zen room behind Baoguang Temple, the moon was full of beauty and the spring breeze was blooming all night. The boy and the girl were sitting quietly and chatting, and the picture was amazingly harmonious.
She talked all night, and it was early the next morning when the temple bell rang, and someone outside called out in a low voice: "Girl, girl."
The girl Huo stood up: "My maid is here to look for me. If you heal your injuries, leave quickly. Be careful not to be discovered."
It turns out that she is not a maid.
Xiao Shao whispered: "Thank you."
