Chapter five hundred and seventy-six night frost town
Xiaoqing carefully took a small amount, stretched out her small red tongue, and licked it gently. Her eyes lit up and she shouted happily: "Sure enough, the effect of the medicine is more pure. " Δ quge"
He turned around and was about to talk to Li Luo, when he suddenly saw Li Luo looking at his lips in a daze.
His face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and he shouted in a low voice: "You!?"
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew his gaze and said, "Well, stone moss can induce the medicinal properties of Crimson Pearl, which will make it more mellow."
Xiao Qing took a heavy breath and looked a little embarrassed. The moonlight came in softly, caressing Xiao Qing's pretty face, which was gradually blushing, making it all charming.
Xiao Qing glanced at Li Luo and saw that Li Luo was sitting in a dark place where the moonlight could not reach. He was extremely thin, with a few strands of white hanging casually on his temples, and a faint look of tiredness between his brows.
Xiao Qing suddenly woke up. Since yesterday, he had been busy refining elixirs for later use, but he had forgotten that Li Luo had just recovered from a serious illness and had been busy with him for so long without taking a good rest.
Thinking of this, Xiaoqing's annoyance suddenly disappeared and she patted her forehead.
He smiled softly and said: "Oh, I forgot that your health has just improved. It's all my fault. You have to refine the Wind-breaking Cold Powder at this time, which is too tiring for you. It's getting late, so go to bed quickly."
"
Li Luo responded and said softly: "I'm almost healed. It's a lot of inconvenience to stay in the girl's house. Can you ask Miss Xiaoqing to find a place for me tomorrow? I'll take care of it for a few days until I can move around freely.
I will leave here when the time comes."
Xiao Qing hesitated and did not respond. She walked around and tidied up the room a little, then closed the window. The room was dark, but people could be seen clearly.
Li Luo went to bed early in the past few days, and he had never been in the same room with Xiao Qing so late at night like today.
"You're angry?"
Li Luo replied in surprise: "No, Miss Xiaoqing is worrying too much."
"You must be annoyed that I am ruthless and careless about you." Xiao Qing said stubbornly.
Li Luo secretly smiled bitterly, no matter how beautiful a woman is in the world, she is always the same when angry.
I had no choice but to explain with gentle words: "Miss Xiaoqing has saved my life. No matter what happens, I will not anger her."
"Then why did you go elsewhere?"
"Well, a few days ago it could be said that I had difficulty walking and needed a girl to take care of me.
I have gotten much better these days, and it is inappropriate to stay here any longer, as it will damage the girl's reputation. Other than that, I don't have any other thoughts."
"Humph, I'm just annoyed. I'm still making these excuses. We are innocent, but moving out at this time will only make others think wildly.
I know you have a lot of etiquette, so I'll let you do it. I'll go sleep somewhere else and you stay here."
"How can this be done? There is no reason to overshadow the guest."
Xiao Qing waved her hand and said: "You have difficulty moving. This place is full of tree houses. If something goes wrong, it will be a good thing. Don't refuse. Get some rest early."
"Hey, Miss Xiaoqing..." Li Luo was speechless. Unexpectedly, he ended up being a dove occupying the magpie's nest and offending the beauty.
Xiaoqing couldn't help but pack up a few clothes and was about to go out. Suddenly she saw the moonlight outside the house. It was already half past three o'clock in the night. It was really late. She turned around and said timidly: "It's getting late..."
Li Luo said hurriedly: "Miss Xiaoqing, don't go out so late at night. The wind is high on a moonlit night. It would be bad if you encounter any beasts or poisonous insects again.
I am harassing the girl tonight, and I will find a place to go tomorrow."
Xiaoqing hummed softly, put down the clothes in her hands, and sat down cross-legged against the wall as usual, closing her eyes and concentrating.
Xiaoqing seems gentle and amiable, but sometimes she can be very stubborn. No matter how polite she is, it will make both of them feel embarrassed.
Li Luo sighed with emotion, put on his clothes and lay down on the wooden raft.
Normally there is nothing unusual, but tonight for some reason I felt like I was sitting on pins and needles. I couldn't fall asleep for a while. I was tossing and turning on the wooden floor, and my thoughts were so scattered that it was hard to describe.
"You can't sleep?" Xiaoqing suddenly asked from the corner.
"Well, I suddenly felt a little upset and bothered the girl."
"I can't sleep either."
"Oh, Miss Xiaoqing is worried?"
"Yes, I am busy with too many things during the day, and I can only think of them when it is late at night."
"What's on your mind, Miss Xiao Qing?"
"There are a lot of them. I hope that the villagers can be safe, have something to support, and have someone to rely on when they are old. They don't have to work so hard to make a living. What about you, are you worried too?"
"have."
"Then what do you do when you are upset?"
"If you don't think about it, you might be able to write, paint, or practice martial arts. When you're tired, you'll go to bed. When the trouble comes to you, you won't have much to worry about, and you can do whatever you can."
Xiaoqing smiled softly and said softly: "This method sounds good, you can borrow it and try it."
"You haven't asked Miss Xiaoqing what the name is here yet?"
"Yeshuang Town."
"Yeshuang?" Li Luo was surprised and asked, "Why is it named after Ye Shuang?"
"What's wrong?"
"There is an ancient book in Dagan, which is said to have been handed down from before the Shang Dynasty. This ancient book records a story in which the name Ye Shuang is included.
According to legend, it is a ghostly pass with an unknown fate. Do you know the origin of the night frost here?"
Xiao Qing was silent for a moment and whispered: "So there is a legend. This place was called Ye Shuang Town when I was born. I don't know if there is any other meaning."
Li Luo made a sound, and the room fell silent. The two of them had nothing to say for a while, but neither of them could fall asleep, tossing and turning.
Xiao Qing couldn't help but sigh and asked softly: "Why don't you go out to get some air and wait until you feel sleepy before going to sleep?"
"OK."
The two walked out of the wooden house. Li Luo was now useless and asked Xiaoqing to support him carefully. He sat down on the platform built with several wooden boards in front of the door.
The moonlight fell softly across the valley, not too bright, and gave me a somewhat intoxicating feeling. Looking up, I saw a half-curved moon, not a full moon, hanging quietly on the top of the mountain.
"When I couldn't sleep, I came out and sat here alone." Xiaoqing put the jade pillow on her knees and murmured.
“It’s beautiful here.”
"Have you ever been in a place like this before?"
"There has been one, and it was also a valley, as beautiful as this one."
"Then will you stay here?"
Li Luo looked into the distance and followed Li Luo's gaze. It turned out that it was not the glow under the moonlight, but the darkness where the moonlight could not reach.
Li Luo's expression was cold and calm, and he said nothing.
He asked instead: "Why have I seen Xiao Wu these days? Where have the other people in the village gone?"
Xiaoqing didn't seem to notice that Li Luo didn't answer, and reached out to tease the leaves.
He whispered: "Yeshuang Town is not small, but we can't grow food here, so we can only make a living by fishing and hunting.
After they sent you back, they went out to sea again. There are also some folks who went into the mountains to hunt, and it will take a while before they can come back.
Now there are only old, young, women and children left in the village, and there are a few other villagers who have to patrol around the village to guard against evil beasts and birds of prey in the mountains and forests.
These few months are fine, but in the next few months more and more animals will come down the mountain, and by then half of the people in the village will be left guarding the place." (To be continued.)
