Along with an inexplicable throbbing, the dust-laden memories also began to revive. Wuyu's consciousness seemed to be peeled off, and his eyesight became farther and farther away, gradually breaking away from the body, looking at the immature young man on the ground like a bystander.
He didn't know that Bai Mo and Yang Yiyi were also bystanders. They couldn't move and couldn't see each other. They could only watch the scene in front of them as if they were watching a movie.
Green brows, bright and blank eyes, and a young body wrapped in white.
Wuyu knew that this was himself when he was young, and this scenery only existed in his long-forgotten memory.
At that time, he seemed to have a strange name, it seemed... he was called Ji Bai.
Memories of the dead came flooding in, filling everyone’s minds——
"Where is this?"
I opened my eyes and my body was still in unbearable pain, but it was much better than before I fell into coma.
Holding back the pain, I sat up and found that the injuries on my body had been simply treated. There was a bitter taste on my lips, probably because someone had given me medicine.
Someone saved me? But why did they leave me lying on the ground?
I looked around and found myself lying on the grass on the bank of the river. Not far away was a tall girl sitting on the bank looking at the mountains in the distance with her feet tapping the water.
I watched for a while, and the girl stood up. I saw that she was dressed in green clothes, with bare feet, and three thousand blue hairs moving in the wind.
As if she noticed my gaze, she turned to look at me, smiled, and blinked her lively eyes.
I have never seen such clear eyes.
"Are you awake?"
The girl stood up and walked towards me. Her voice was as clear and moving as water drops falling from a mountain stream.
"Thank you girl for saving my life." I came back to my senses and tried to stand up to express my thanks solemnly, but my body was still in unbearable pain, so I had to sit on the ground and look at her.
"There's nothing to thank me for. I didn't mean to save you out of kindness." The girl sat directly next to me and said casually, "It's just that I'm a little bored after being alone for a long time."
I was dumbfounded. I didn't expect that this was the reason for being rescued. I didn't know whether I should be happy or not. After thinking about it, I said again: "Next Ji Bai, I don't know, girl..."
"Qinglian, just call me Qinglian." The girl blinked, "You are seriously injured, just rest here for a while."
She seemed delighted to have company.
I nodded, recalling the previous battles with several evil creatures, I still felt frightened.
Qinglian seemed to have thought of something, glanced at me, covered her mouth and smiled: "I can see, you are so weak, you still dare to fight with so many evil things, I didn't expect you to still be alive..."
This girl doesn't seem to know what euphemism is.
I was a little embarrassed, but it was indeed a fact that I was defeated by the evil thing. I couldn't refute it, so I could only sigh: "I'll be busy with you in the days to come."
"Yes." Qinglian nodded, looking a little happy. Her eyes lit up and she said happily, "Tell me about the outside world. I have read all the books my mother left for me. The books talk about snow-capped mountains and volcanoes. Is it true?"
It seems that this girl has really never been out. Since she is so interested...
I raised the corners of my mouth, suddenly regaining my confidence after being laughed at, and nodded: "Of course there is."
Maybe I really had been alone for a long time, and Qinglian couldn't stop asking questions. I simply lay down again and told her a lot, from the snow mountains to the sea, from Yunhua to Huai'an.
"Is Huai'an really that prosperous?" Qinglian listened with a frown on her face, her eyes full of hope.
"That's right."
I looked at her expectant look, thought for a moment, and said, "You have been a life-saving grace to me. As long as you are willing, after I recover from my injury, how about taking you to Huai'an to see me?"
"Really?" Qinglian looked at me with her mouth wide open, her eyes flashing with light, and she looked very moved, but in the end she sighed, "Forget it, I won't go."
"Why is this?"
I frowned, patted my chest and said, "Don't worry, I will protect you along the way."
"puff!"
Qinglian's expression had already turned gloomy, but after hearing my words, she suddenly laughed out loud, "You can't even protect yourself, how can you protect me?"
She was mentioning again that I was injured by an evil thing.
Being laughed at by a girl like this made me quite angry, but I was speechless.
It was already dark at this time, and the two stones on the shore quietly lit up, reflecting the floating lake surface. The branches of the willow trees on the shore were swaying lightly, and the hair of the girl next to them was also fluttering.
"It's an excellent beautiful scenery." I said with emotion.
"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, you will get tired of it after looking at it for a long time."
Qinglian hugged her knees, her voice was a little lonely, but the next moment, she laughed again, stood up and said, "Wait, I'll get some food."
It's not pretentious at all, but it really looks like a green lotus that has not been infected by the world...
Looking at the girl's jumping back, I couldn't help but think.
After spending the night in the lotus pond, I knew why I was lying on the grass, because there was no bed at all.
When I asked, Qinglian asked me what the difference was between sleeping on the grass and sleeping on a bed.
There doesn't seem to be much difference. The grass is very soft and there's nothing uncomfortable about sleeping on it.
…
As soon as I woke up, a white jade hand appeared in front of me, holding a soup bowl.
"Drink the medicine." Qinglian blinked, with inexplicable expectation in her eyes.
I thanked him, took the medicine and poured it into my mouth.
So bitter!
I have never taken medicine that is so bitter. I couldn't bear it after just one sip and almost vomited it out.
"Pfft, your face is distorted!" Qinglian seemed to have anticipated this scene, and giggled, "Isn't it very painful, but it is very effective."
Under her expectant and encouraging eyes, I drank the medicine hesitantly, not sure if it was an illusion. When the bitterness in my mouth faded, the pain in my body actually subsided a bit.
"What a miraculous medicine." Although I was born into a wealthy family, I have never seen such an effective medicine.
Qinglian kept watching me drink the medicine, her pretty face turned red from holding back laughter. When she heard my words, she stopped smiling, nodded proudly, and said proudly: "Of course, this is the medicine I prepared, I can still do it."
As for brewing, you must have never drunk it before!"
She blinked.
"Wine?" My eyes lit up.
"Want to drink?" Seeing my reaction, Qinglian's eyes turned into crescent moons as she smiled, "Then you have to tell me about the outside world."
It didn’t take long for me to realize how the storyteller felt. The worst thing was that Qinglian wouldn’t allow me to explain it next time. Even though her mouth was dry, Qinglian still refused to give up and kept asking questions until I couldn’t talk anymore.
Leave only when you can't go any further.
I breathed a sigh of relief and lay directly on the grass, watching the clouds rolling in the sky and feeling the softness of the grass. I had never felt so relaxed.
My father has always been strict. How can I have such free time at home? I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to recuperate. I don't know if my father will be worried if it takes too long.
"Here comes the wine!"
Qinglian's cheerful voice interrupted my thoughts. She excitedly picked up a jar of wine and placed it next to me. She said proudly, "You are really lucky. You are the first person to drink the wine I brewed."
.”
"This..." Looking at the green wine handed to me, and thinking of the bitter medicine before, I hesitated a little, and said hesitantly, "That... that's really an honor."
Facing Qinglian's expectant eyes, I gritted my teeth, raised my glass and drank it all in one gulp.
It's not as unpleasant to drink as expected, but rather warm and long-lasting, with a bit of sweetness.
My eyes lit up: "Good wine! I have never drank it before."
"Yeah, right." Qinglian raised her head and said proudly, "It takes a lot of effort to make this wine!"
"What's the name of this wine?"
"Do you even need to ask? Of course it's named after me. It's called Qinglian Wine."
As she said that, Qinglian sat next to me, picked up a bowl and poured some wine. After taking a sip, her face turned red, as if she was drunk.
I shook my head, but I didn't laugh at her, and said, "This wine is considered strong alcohol. How can you drink it?"
Qinglian blinked and pouted, her smart eyes a little blurry: "I just want to have a taste." She said and took another sip.
"By the way, why did you come to the lotus pond? I have never seen anyone dare to come here alone."
