Seeing her smooth face stained with mud, I couldn't wait to get some water.
At night, Fu Xie followed the sound of water to the gurgling stream and found that not to mention the cloth, there was not even a utensil to hold water.
Just dive into the stream and run back soaked.
Gently wipe the mud on Duanmuci's face with her wet sleeves. Why was there mud on her face? It must have been because she fell down many times because she was weak when she came back.
It's okay, I was struck by lightning!
She was struck by lightning and she spoke so calmly. Xie Fu suddenly felt very sorry for her. The man's desire for protection made him want to protect her.
With wiping, Duanmuci's face was so white, and her eyebrows were very long and thin. The combination of the thin eyebrows created a cold beauty, but it gave people a sharpness as sharp as a knife. It turned out that Master Duanmuci was not
When his eyebrows are gentle, he feels so cold.
Except for her long eyelashes, her closed eyelids could not see her gentle eyes.
A little cinnabar between the eyebrows exuded a cool and unearthly temperament, making Xie Fu involuntarily feel like he was looking up at a high mountain.
But she is really beautiful. Her porcelain white and traceless skin makes people want to reach out and touch her with their fingers. Her pursed lips are like a red temptation that penetrates into the heart, making people want to kiss her.
The young man's blood boiled so much that Xie Fu could not restrain himself and gently lowered his head, wanting to kiss her secretly.
When Duanmu Ci's weak breath fell on Xie Fu's face, he woke up from his confusion and turned his head.
Just one face made him unable to control himself, and Xie Fu didn't dare to look anywhere else.
He murmured to himself: "Master Duanmuci, don't blame me for having the idea of offending you. You are so beautiful. I don't think any man will be tempted when he sees your face. I can't help it.
If I don’t do it, that’s..."
While Fu Xie was talking, the image of Master Duanmu Ci's meek features and gentle temperament appeared in his mind for the past day, as gentle as her long hair that hung down to her waist and hips.
Although it only lasts for one day, sometimes it becomes a profound impression that will last a lifetime.
The night passed silently, with Xie Fu watching over him, but his heart was like the moonlight shining on the treetops, swaying and beating with the breeze, like the passage of time and being tireless.
I don't know how long it took, but I suddenly felt hungry and suddenly turned my head to look at the muddy and torn Taoist robe.
She said she was looking for meat. Could it be that she went to some dangerous place and was struck by lightning?
I secretly said in my heart, Master Duanmuci, I am willing to be your apprentice and listen to your words.
In the silence, as soon as the ray of dawn shone into the cave, Xie Fu couldn't wait to walk out of the cave to look for something to eat.
At first, he flew through the mountains and forests trying to find birds and animals, and crossed streams to try to catch a fish in the river. However, this place was full of trees and could not find anything alive at all.
There's really no meat at all.
Xie Fu retreated to the next best thing and began to look for things to eat, wild fruits and vegetables, anything.
He was running all over the mountain, almost unable to find anything and not planning to go back. Suddenly, bursts of thunder in front of him attracted his attention.
Master Xie followed the sound and walked away. Standing on a high place, he looked at the horrifying sight of thunder and lightning in front of him, which was as dense as the Milky Way and rain, but he was shocked in his heart. Master Duanmu Ci must not be walking forward in search of meat.
Xie Fu tried to get closer, but the frightening thunder and lightning flashed down, and his silver eyes could not be opened, but he instinctively felt scared and timid.
Xie Fu tried several times in succession, but all failed. Reason told him that this was impossible and that this would simply lead to death.
The more this happens, the more I feel that Master Duanmuci is so great and amazing that people look up to and admire him.
Perhaps he had been away for too long, so Xie Fu was a little worried and planned to go back first.
While walking through the forest, I suddenly caught a glimpse of green hair hidden in the dense forest leaves.
Xie Fu got closer and saw clearly that it was a wild fruit. He was so happy that he picked the wild fruit as if he had found a treasure.
Holding the wild fruit in my hand, it just feels heavy. I never knew that a wild fruit could be so precious.
Thinking about the yellow and green ones that Master Duanmuci brought out yesterday, Master Duanmuci must have been searching for them for a long time. He was reluctant to eat them, but he ate them all in one go and was even disliked by her.
Xie Fu returned to the cave, but Duanmu Ci was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his celestial posture as cold as last night, exuding an unearthly atmosphere.
Duanmuci opened his eyes.
Xie Fu saw her eyes filled with clear water like a stream, and then he felt a sense of human emotion from her.
"Master Duanmuci, are you okay? I was worried about you last night, but I didn't know what to do."
Duanmuci smiled: "I'm fine, you did a good job."
Fu Xie suddenly thought of something and quickly took out the wild fruit hidden in his clothes, "Master Duanmuci, look."
Duanmuci smiled softly, lowered his eyes slightly and continued to adjust his breathing. His lips moved slightly: "After eating, go and practice. I will rest for a while and then go find something to eat for you in the afternoon."
Xie Fu handed over the wild fruit.
Duanmu Ci's lowered eyes were slightly surprised. Looking at the enthusiastic face in front of him, his heart warmed, but he said calmly: "You can eat it."
Xie Fu got angry and said loudly: "I found this specially for you, but you don't appreciate it at all. I think you don't regard me as your apprentice at all. If you don't regard me as your apprentice in your heart, then I will
I might as well stop being your apprentice."
After Xie Fu finished speaking, he felt a little worried. When Duanmuci saw his childish look, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Of course I regard you as my disciple in my heart."
Xie Fu said happily: "In that case, just take it."
The wild fruit was held in front of her with both hands, but Duanmuci was dignified and self-possessed, not even moving his body.
"Do you want to eat or not?"
"eat."
Duanmuci's voice seemed to be coaxing him in return. She raised her hand to take the wild fruit. Looking at the emerald green peel, it was so green that her heart felt like it was like spring flowers blooming.
Xie Fu said: "I have washed it."
Duanmuci looked at him with expectant eyes, and as if to satisfy him, she opened her red lips slightly and took a bite with her white teeth. The particularly sweet juice soaked her mouth and moisturized her lips and corners at the same time.
Xie Fu looked at her eating in small bites as if admiring a crane drinking water. She ate very gracefully and slowly, as if she could eat this wild fruit for the rest of her life.
In the silence, the sound of chewing teeth could be heard softly, and the atmosphere felt inexplicably mutual.
The sound of cooing came at the wrong time. Duanmu Ci looked up at Fu Xie upon hearing the sound, his eyes filled with warmth.
Xie Fu smiled awkwardly.
Duanmuci waved: "Come here."
Xie Fu approached: "What are you doing?"
Duanmuci took one of Xie Fu's hands, handed the remaining half of the wild fruit to Xie Fu, and said calmly: "Don't starve."
After Xie Fu stared blankly at the wild fruit that left tiny tooth marks, he looked at Duanmuci in astonishment. He saw that she had closed her eyes and was speechless. Only her lips, which had been moistened by the juice and became glossy and red, could prove it.
She did eat just now.
The master didn't treat me as an outsider at all. This was an indescribable intimacy.
When Xie Fu ate it, the wild fruit seemed to be filled with a special aroma. He ate it very slowly, as if he was savoring this unbridled feeling.
The only sound in the quiet cave was the soft chewing sound, and Duanmuci's eyelashes seemed to be trembling slightly when he closed his eyes.
"Master Duanmuci, I don't want to eat meat anymore, so don't take any more risks."
"Let's go practice."
…
Xie Fu concentrates on practicing Qigong every day, but Duanmuci always disappears every day. Xie Fu can only see her during certain fixed time periods.
I guess I should be looking for food. The process of looking for food is just like making a living.
Isn’t it true that people live just to have three meals a day?
This place is simply weird, and edible things are hard to find, so Xie Fu cherishes it very much.
Of course, Duanmu Ci could not make Xie Fu full, but it would not make him hungry either.
Master Xie once asked her, Master Duanmuci, you are so kind to me, but I don’t know how to repay you.
Duanmu Ci responded to him, as long as you practice hard, you will repay me.
Although Xie Fu didn't know why Duanmuci only had such requirements for him, it didn't matter how good he was in training.
But he kept this instruction in mind and practiced Qigong with great concentration.
There was no calendar day in the mountains, so more than a month passed in silence.
Xie Fu finally couldn't help but wonder what Duanmuci was doing when he disappeared, so he put aside his practice and went to look for it secretly, and also to see what food he could find.
I was wandering around the mountains for an unknown amount of time when I suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure crouching in the dirt and grass. There was a trace of black hair like a ponytail hanging down to the ground behind her. Xie Fu recognized her back at a glance.
In fact, except for the two of them, there is no one else alive here.
Xie Fu approached silently, Duanmu Ci seemed to be doing something with his heart and didn't notice.
Her black hair was clear, and the two glistening streaks of snow-white on both sides of her hair also caught Xie Fu's eyes. They were a pair of small ears sticking out of her temples.
It is as sharp as a mulberry leaf but not as sharp as a fox's ear. It has a more rounded outline, the ear piece is soft, and the ear muscle is as white as a piece of jade that has been nourished by mountain springs all year round.
It wasn't until today that Xie Fu discovered that her ears were so beautiful, and that every part of her body was a treasure of heaven and earth.
Xie Fu licked his lips, as if he saw delicious food and wanted to take a bite.
Bah bah bah...
Duanmuci turned around when she heard the voice and found that Xie Fu was standing behind her. She was unable to use her Qi at this time and was simply an ordinary woman, so she was unable to notice Xie Fu's approach.
But Fu Xie saw that her white face was stained with mud, and then his eyes fell on her mud-covered hands holding a yellow and rough object with wet soil standing on it. It was obviously an object that had just been dug out of the earth.
yam.
Although he knew it was not easy to find food, Fu Xie was moved when he actually saw it, "Master Duanmuci..."
Duanmu Ci's expression was cold: "You didn't practice your martial arts well, but you went out and wandered around without permission."
Xie Fu said: "You just punish me."
Duanmuci asked again: "Do you sneak out every day without telling me?"
"No, just today. You don't know what to do every day. I especially want to know what you are doing today, so I came out to find you."
Duanmuci seemed angry, turned away, stopped talking, put the dug potatoes aside, and continued digging out with his hands covered with soil.
Xie Fu walked to her side, squatted down, and glanced at her secretly. Seeing that she was as cold as ice, he swallowed the words that came to his mouth.
Then his eyes fell on the hands that were picking at the soil. Those long fingers and mud-stained nails looked so slowly in his eyes, as if they were picking at his heart.
Xie Fu tried his best to help push away the soil. Amidst the sound, his fingers suddenly touched Duanmu Ci's fingers. For some reason, he held the pair of Rouyi tightly. Even through the soil, he could still feel the softness of his muscles and bones.
Delicacy touches the heart.
Duanmuci stopped when his hand was caught by Xie Fu, and listened to Xie Fu sincerely say: "I really didn't lie to you. I just ran out secretly today. I have been practicing diligently according to your instructions every day before."
Duanmuci couldn't help laughing. In fact, she was not very angry. She was a weak woman at this time and could not cure Master Xie at all. She could only use the master's majesty to suppress him.
Xie Fu saw Duanmuci smiling and said happily: "I really didn't lie to you."
After Xie Fu finished speaking, he buried his head in the dirt and quickly picked up the soil, wanting to do these vulgar things for her.
One potato after another was dug out.
Duanmuci's heart was filled with the joy of harvest. Sometimes happiness is so simple. He couldn't help but said: "I finally got a rich harvest today. I can eat these for several days."
Xie Fu raised his head and said, "Master, you can also rest for a few days."
Duanmuci saw a speck of mud splashed on his face, and couldn't help but gently scrape the bit of mud off his face with his fingers. However, he completely forgot that his fingers were covered with wet mud, and instead left a mud mark on his face.
.
Duanmuci couldn't help but smile when he saw it.
This smile seemed to reveal a bit of the mischievousness of a little girl. The tenderness in her eyes was enough to melt the ice and snow, and her smile was like a spring flower blooming.
Fu Xie couldn't help but stared at it, "Master Duanmuci, you are so beautiful."
Although Duanmu Ci has never tasted human love, she can still feel Xie Fu's aggressive male gaze and desire to get her, and her heart trembles suddenly. Although I regard him as my apprentice,
But after all, he is not a child, but a full-blooded man.
What was going on? Duanmuci was a little confused and confused for a moment. No matter what, she just knew it couldn't be done.
She can dote on him as an elder, she can dote on him as a sister, but she must never let Xie Fu have such affection for her.
She wants to train Master Xie to be the best in the world and send him to Chu Yue. One day, he will face their master and apprentice as enemies.
Duanmuci responded to Xie Fu with a thin layer of ice and snow in her eyes, and her slightly furrowed eyebrows revealed an angry message, and she said coldly: "What are you thinking about?"
Duanmuci asked so directly, Xie Fu immediately panicked, obviously guilty, and said cautiously: "No."
Duanmuci said without mercy: "No matter what you are thinking, you'd better give up this idea, otherwise you won't even be able to be a master and disciple."
"I see."
Duanmuci looked at his dejected look and couldn't help but want to comfort him, saying coldly: "Okay, you are not allowed to come out without my permission in the future."
Xie Fu buried his head in digging.
Duanmuci thought to himself that I should be more indifferent to him in the future.
The two fell into silence.
While digging potatoes, Mr. Xie suddenly saw a mountain plant with fern-shaped leaves. He immediately walked over and took a closer look.
Duanmuci was curious when he saw it, and heard Fu Xie say in surprise: "Master Duanmuci, this is Weicai."
Duanmuci asked: "What kind of micro vegetables?"
Xie Fuying said: "The world belongs to the Zhou Dynasty, but Boyi, Shu Qi is ashamed of it, so he does not eat Zhou millet. He hides in Shouyang Mountain, picks and eats weeds. These are the weeds mentioned in the Book of Songs, which are edible."
Xie Fu said, broke off the stems and leaves, and tasted them.
Duanmu Ci hurriedly said: "Be careful of the poison." How can you eat something you don't know if it is edible?
After tasting the taste, Mr. Xie said: "It doesn't taste that good, but it should be more delicious after cooking."
Duanmuci came over and asked, "Are you sure you can eat it?"
"Eatable."
Duanmuci also followed Xie Fu's example, broke off the stems and leaves, tasted it, and could barely eat it, "dig it up."
However, Master Xie stood still, looked at the freshly dug yams, then looked at the weeds, and said, "Master Duanmuci, I have thought of a way, so we don't have to go hungry in the future."
Duanmuci looked at him in confusion and said angrily: "When did I let you starve?"
Xie Fu explained: "Master Duanmuci, listen to me."
"Let's open up a piece of land in front of the cave and grow vegetables and potatoes ourselves. In the future, we won't have to search for food all over the mountains and fields."
Duanmuci was a little embarrassed: "Growing vegetables and potatoes, uh... I don't know how."
Xie Fu responded: "I know how to do it, and I'll teach you."
"Do you know?"
"Of course I will."
Xie Fu was stunned as he said this, not understanding how he could do this.
Duanmuci smiled and said, "Okay, just do as you say."
After the two returned, they began to reclaim wasteland in front of the cave.
It took several days to clear away the stones and shape the uneven terrain into the ground.
During this period, Fu Xie dug a channel and diverted water from the nearest stream to the flat ground. It was much more convenient to collect water.
Duanmuci felt a special sense of satisfaction when she looked at the cultivated land that had just begun to take shape. This was the joint efforts of her and Fu.
Immediately afterwards, Master Xie began to teach Duanmu Ci how to grow vegetables and water them.
Sometimes, Duanmuci couldn't help but look at Master Xie, who was teaching her. At this time, he didn't look like a child, but looked a bit like her master.
From then on, Xie Fu concentrated on practicing Qigong every day, while Duanmu Ci worked hard every day like a peasant woman.
More than three months later, looking at the green wild vegetables on the farmland, Duanmuci felt a special kind of peace and happiness in her heart. She turned her head to look at the man not far away who was concentrating on practicing martial arts, and thought to herself, it would be nice to live like this for the rest of his life.
.
Xie Fu seemed to feel her gaze and rushed over.
"Master Duanmuci."
Duanmu pointed at the large green wild vegetables with his finger, "Fu'er, I didn't disappoint you."
In fact, the two of them watch it every day and wait for the day of harvest.
Xie Fu praised: "Master Duanmuci, you are really ingenious. You grew vegetables so well for the first time."
Duanmuci smiled and said: "As long as you do it with your heart, there is nothing impossible. There is never anything that is difficult for me."
Xie Fu smiled and said, "I believe it."
Duanmuci asked: "Can I pick it off?"
"Can."
"Let's pick them together."
Duanmuci also wanted to share the joy of this harvest with Xie Fu.
While Fu Xie was picking vegetables, Duanmuci was carefully digging up the potatoes. They couldn't see what was buried in the soil, for fear of being disappointed when they were dug out.
After digging through the soil, the yellow and rough skin of the potato slowly began to emerge, and Duanmuci's heart beat with joy.
When she dug out the whole potato and held it in her hands, she couldn't help but shout to Xie Fu like a little girl: "Fu'er, look."
At this moment, her face was filled with a particularly beautiful luster, her face in the sun and the yams in the sun, which she had grown with her own hands.
Fu Xie quickly came to her, stared at the sweet potato she was holding on her chest with her little hands, and said happily: "Master Duanmuci, it's so big."
"I have never felt so proud in my life, Fu'er, thank you."
As he spoke, Duanmuci couldn't help but scratch Xie Fu's face with his fingers. Seeing the mud marks on Xie Fu's face, he smiled like a young girl.
The smiles and laughter were so heart-warming that Xie Fu lost his voice again and looked at Duanmu Ci, who was showing off the girlish mood at this moment.
Duanmuci smiled and suddenly realized that something was wrong with Xie Fu's eyes again, and Rong Shen immediately turned cold. She didn't like Xie Fu looking at her with such eyes.
Fu Xie was startled and realized that he had lost his composure again. In order to cover up, he poured some water from the ditch on her face and said, "Master Duanmuci, you are teasing me."
Duanmuci immediately smiled and replied: "No."
Xie Fu saw her smile and said, "You still say no, you are teasing me, and I will tease you too."
People simply jumped into the ditch, squatted down and splashed water on Duanmu Ci with both hands.
Duanmu Ci raised his sleeves to cover his face: "Fu'er, don't splash it."
Xie Fu was even more energetic. Amidst the clear sound of water rushing, thousands of water drops that became crystal clear in the sun sprinkled on Duanmu Ci's body.
Duanmu Ci looked at him with a pretty face and said coldly: "It's not over, isn't it?"
Splashes of water splashed on her face and she washed her face. Her eyebrows and temples were all wet all of a sudden.
Xie Fu was startled and stopped immediately.
Why did Duanmuci put down the sweet potatoes and pour them directly into the ditch, then threw the water at Xie Fu.
Xie Fu was accidentally splashed all over his head, and Duanmu Ci giggled when he saw it.
Xie Fu immediately retaliated, and the two of them actually threw punches at each other.
Duanmuci seemed to have returned to his childhood, splashing water with his junior sister Chuyue in the stream, and thought that he could still get this feeling back.
Senior sister, don't be ridiculous, I admit defeat.
Who told you to throw a tantrum at me first? There's no point in admitting defeat.
…
Duanmuci was immersed in it. At this moment, this cold Taoist man really exuded the human touch.
They were splashing, not knowing who would stop first, but they both stopped.
Looking at each other's wet bodies, looking at each other's face covered with water drops and hair on the temples, they looked at each other speechlessly, and an indescribable ambiguity lingered between them.
Xie Fu lowered his head in guilt and fear, fearing that Duanmu Ci would show a cold expression again.
Duanmu Ci also lowered his head, not blaming Xie Fu for the sun-hot gaze that shot directly into his heart just now.
In the silence, Duanmuci spoke first and said calmly: "Go back and have a good meal today."
Fu Xie watched Duanmuci walk up through the water first. The hem of her robe was wet and clinging to her legs, and her sleeves clung to her arms, showing a woman's slender silhouette like a lotus root.
Regardless of her identity as a master, she is just a delicate woman, beautiful, gentle, and kind.
Duanmuci walked gently towards the direction of the cave. Every step was her heartbeat. There was a feeling in her heart that she had never felt before, a feeling that she had never felt before.
If you want to see a little light in the dark night, you can't help but walk towards the light.
She was very scared and anxious.
Suddenly Xie Fu rushed to her side like a gust of wind and held her hand forcefully.
Duanmuci's heart suddenly trembled, what should he do?
