The wooden house sat quietly in the sunshine. In the small attic, the hall door was open, and the sunlight illuminated the floor in front of the hall. I carried the basket and walked up the wooden ladder, listening to the creaking sound. As I got closer, I gradually began to hear it.
Conversation in the hall.
"That means I can't stay with you for a few more days?"
"Miss Yinluo's injury is not fully healed yet. When she recovers, she will leave. You can come back then. There is really no extra room at this time."
"Then we can send her to the town to recuperate! There are better doctors in the city. Her injuries don't seem serious and she will be fine in a few days."
I heard Meng Yunzhong sigh softly, seemingly speechless.
I quickened my steps and appeared in front of the hall door, carrying a fruit basket and looking at them with a smile. Meng Yunzhong turned around and saw me, frowning slightly, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't speak.
"Just in time, she's here, why not ask her opinion." You Ruojun said anxiously, "Yinluo, I think your injury needs better care, so why don't I send someone to take you to the town to find a doctor for help?
You heal.”
I smiled faintly and looked at Meng Yunzhong. He seemed a little embarrassed and still had the same expression of hesitation to speak.
"Sister You, thank you for your concern. My injury has healed greatly. Originally, it was because Brother Yunzhong saved my life and wanted to stay and take care of him in return for his kindness. Now that Sister You is here, it's time for me to leave."
After saying that, I walked to the wooden table with the fruit basket, passed by Meng Yunzhong, glanced at him, then put the fruit basket on the wooden table, and turned to him and said:
"Brother Yunzhong, I have been taken care of by you for many days. I will never forget your kindness and I will repay you one day." I paused and sighed slightly.
"Sister You, I'll take my leave now."
I originally wanted to go into the bedroom to tidy up, but after thinking about it carefully, I really didn’t have anything worth tidying up here. So, I walked towards the hall door step by step, and the wooden board still made that nice squeaking sound when I stepped on it.
There was a sound, and I turned my head slightly, but didn't look back.
Before I even got off the wooden ladder, I heard Meng Yunzhong walking to the hall door and calling my name, but I deliberately did not look back and continued walking slowly in the opposite direction.
I didn't even count how many steps I had taken, thinking that I should be a little far away from the wooden house. I didn't hear Meng Yunzhong's voice anymore. I just felt a sense of loss and anxiety in my heart, but immediately, I smiled softly.
The footsteps behind me got closer and closer, and then I heard Meng Yunzhong's voice again.
"Yinluo!"
Sure enough, I was not wrong in my bet.
For a few months, my range of activities was only between the wooden house and Quexian Waterfall. All my memories were related to this cliff and Meng Yunzhong. Even the thought of returning to the Yuyu Forest was put aside. I was also aware of my mood.
The fluctuations, especially when facing Meng Yunzhong, are something I have never felt before. I learned how to make food for mortals, learned about many mortal lifestyles, and how mortals protect themselves as much as possible.
Safety, how to respect nature and appreciate beautiful scenery. These are all brought to me by Meng Yunzhong. He treated my injuries, although he did not know that my injuries were restored by me gradually activating my spiritual power and regulating my breath. But
, but he is so attentive that he can understand my needs every moment, protect me, and prevent me from getting hurt. He will show me a simple smile, and will obey my deliberate coquettishness. He reminds me of that person, but
His care for me seemed to have become much more concrete, making me slowly forget my identity and live an ordinary life like a mortal, very comfortable and stable, with no ups and downs, and no heaviness in my heart.
Meng Yunzhong, Meng Yunzhong...
During this period of time, my mind was filled with thoughts related to him. Although I was not sure whether he treated me the same way, my intuition made me deliberately make this series of actions, which was both a test and a gamble.
It was the same strong arm that grabbed my arm. It was strong, but it didn't hurt me.
It really is him, Meng Yunzhong.
"Yinluo, don't leave. Where are you going? You are helpless, where else can you go?"
It was all in a begging tone.
I turned around to face him and met his eyes. His gaze passed through my body, but I didn't feel unnatural at all. Instead, I felt that my whole body was warm, but it was more comfortable and cooler than the hot sunshine above my head.
I saw You Ruojun standing in the corridor of the wooden house. She frowned tightly.
Dissatisfied, unwilling, anxious, angry, and of course, helpless.
She clutched the wooden railing tightly with her hands and stared in our direction, as if she wanted to cut off the distance, and immediately appeared between Meng Yunzhong and me.
"But, I look at Sister You...it doesn't matter, my injury has healed, it's time to go back." I forced a smile at him.
"Where are you going back? No one has come to look for you for so long. You are alone. What if you encounter danger again?"
I looked at him and then at You Ruojun in the distance. I knew it was wrong, but I still did it.
The spiritual energy in my body fluctuated, and a turbulent wave surged up. My lips immediately became dry. I knew that my face suddenly turned pale at this moment. I covered my chest, and a little red liquid seeped out from between my fingers. My legs
As soon as I weakened, I was about to fall. Meng Yunzhong hugged me and held me tightly in front of him, looking anxious and surprised.
"Yinluo! Your injury..."
He picked me up and ran towards the wooden house at a steady pace, seemingly not noticing You Ruojun standing aside.
"Yun Zhong!" You Ruojun called him loudly.
"Her wound opened again." Meng Yunzhong didn't notice the dissatisfaction in her tone at all, and eagerly "explained" to her.
I know that when a woman is angry, she has no reason to think anymore.
You Ruojun panted eagerly and stared at Meng Yunzhong, but she could only find that Meng Yunzhong hugged me so tightly. Then, her anger suddenly increased, a little crystal light flashed in her eyes, she stopped talking, and
He pushed open the wooden railing, turned around and hurriedly got off the wooden ladder.
"Ruojun!" Meng Yunzhong hugged me and stopped where he was.
But You Ruojun didn't look back, but walked faster and faster, farther and farther...
I lay in Meng Yunzhong's arms, watching her leaving back, coughing slightly, and bloodshot eyes overflowed from the corners of my mouth.
"Brother Yunzhong, go and chase Sister You back. I'll be fine."
He looked back at my weak face, sighed helplessly, then looked back at You Ruojun, who was already far away from the wooden house, and then hugged me into the house.
"Brother Yunzhong, I'm sorry..."
He put me on the bed, pulled up the thin blanket for me, and tapped two acupuncture points on my body, as if to stop my bleeding. Although his expression was still a little solemn, he still managed to smile at me.
"Why are you sorry? She has a straightforward temper. She will be fine after being angry for a while."
"I'm much better, you'd better go and get her back."
"No need, I'm afraid she has already driven back to town."
He turned to look out the window, following the direction You Ruojun left, but I didn't know why, but I felt at ease.
"You should rest in peace and recuperate, and don't let your emotions fluctuate, otherwise the wound will open."
I nodded, feeling somewhat guilty.
Yunzhong helped me bandage the wound. He was always careful not to touch an extra inch of skin on my body.
"Yin Luo, I was wondering the day I saved you. Why is your blood a different color from ordinary people's?"
After he changed my medicine, he sat by the bed and asked carefully as before. His question made me a little confused, and even I ignored the special color of my blood.
"Uh...it's because...I've been suffering from a strange disease since I was a child. My parents found a strange folk remedy to treat me. After the disease was cured, my physique also changed, so I became what I am now."
"What kind of strange medicine is this?"
"I really don't know about this. After I recovered from the illness, my parents never mentioned it and told me not to ask."
He did not have any doubts, perhaps because there was no talk of ghosts and gods in his heart. He covered me with a thin blanket and said softly:
"You have a good rest and I'll prepare some food. You must be hungry."
He left the room and opened the door lightly.
I adjusted the spiritual energy in my body, my thoughts were a little confused, and I began to be unable to understand my behavior.
