Just remember

In about one stick of incense, the two groups of men and horses had finished searching, and they had gained a lot—enough firewood for one night, two quilts, five oil lamps, and a small iron pot.

The search also confirmed one thing, that is, the entire village is indeed deserted, and it is a completely empty village.The reason why we say empty, not barren, is because although many houses are empty, they are not dilapidated, and the dust accumulated is not too thick. It seems that they lived here a few months ago, and suddenly they abandoned the house with their families. and flee.

"This place is really strange." Qi Wanguan put the pot full of clean snow on the already lit stove, recalling everything from entering the village yesterday to now, he couldn't help feeling emotional.

Guo Pan, who was adding firewood to the stove, was also a little confused: "I was chasing a gangster half a year ago, and I passed by here. At that time, there was still smoke from the kitchen, and it was a scene of living and working in peace."

"Don't talk about half a year," Hang Mingzhe shrank in a corner of the bed, wrapping himself tightly in a quilt, "When I came here with my father three months ago, it was just in time for the village chief's son to marry a wife. Gongs and drums, not to mention how lively it is.

Chun Jinran originally just listened quietly. After all, he had never been to Wangjiacun before, so he really had no experience to offer, but Hang Mingzhe's words made him a little curious: "Master Hang came here before March?"

Hang bandit, what kind of person is that, the martial arts world will be shocked three times with a roar.When he was young, he was full of vigor and used to walk around the rivers and lakes with a sword, but since he took over the family business and became the new head of the Hang family in Yunzhong, he seldom showed up unless something big happened. His three sons took care of all the external affairs of the Hang family. Reasonably, even this time when her daughter was killed, Hang Minghao and Hang Mingzhe were sent to pick up the "suspect".How could such a person come to such an inconspicuous village as Wangjia Village?

Hang Mingzhe was taken aback by Chun Jinran's question, and seemed to realize that he seemed to have said unnecessary words.But what is said is the water that was thrown out, and it is impossible to recycle it, so the third young master struggled for a while, then accepted that this should be the arrangement of fate, and simply confessed: "My mother has been in poor health these years, and she has invited many The doctor said that there was no serious illness, but that the loss of both Qi and blood needed to be replenished, but my father gave my mother all the precious tonics he could find, but there was still no improvement. Later, he invited a miracle doctor, but the miracle doctor said that it was right to take tonics. Yes, but my mother's constitution is special, direct tonic is useless, must use Centella as a primer for tonic to work..."

"Withered snow grass? Legend has it that the snow queen grows in seven days and becomes a valuable spiritual grass that withers in twelve days?!" Qi Wanguan didn't want to interrupt, but he couldn't help himself.

Hang Mingzhe didn't mind, but nodded: "That's right. At first my father also thought there was no hope, but the genius doctor said that he had seen this kind of herb in Wangjia Village many years ago, so as soon as winter came, my father asked me to accompany him. He came here to wait for the snow. My brother also persuaded my father, thinking that he is too old to run around. The three of us should come to find medicine, but my father insisted on coming by himself, saying that it is sincere , God will be merciful..."

Guo Pan: "Did you find it later?"

"Yeah!" Hang Mingzhe's eyes lit up when he said this, and the only face that was exposed outside the quilt was full of admiration, "I found it after the second snow! So I admire my father very much. There is nothing I can't do in my life that I want to do!"

Qi Wanguan: "Then your mother has recovered now?"

Hang Mingzhe: "Although he hasn't fully recovered, his complexion is getting better and better. The genius doctor said that his vitality has been hurt a bit these years, so it will take time to recover."

"Sure enough, he is a genius doctor," Qi Wanguan looked obsessed with yearning, "Then your Hang family is going to pay a gold mountain and a silver mountain for medical fees..."

"My father thinks about it too." Unexpectedly, Hang Mingzhe sighed, "But the genius doctor doesn't want it. He said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, not for money, but for accumulating virtue."

Qi Wanguan was speechless.He really wanted to know who and where that genius doctor was, so that he could rush to him and ask, are you stupid?Yes, no, yes, silly!

Qi Wanguan didn't know who the genius doctor was, but Chun Jinran felt a sense of familiarity rushing over his face the more he listened, so he asked unsurely, "Third Young Master, is the genius doctor you're talking about... surnamed Ding?"

Hang Mingzhe was surprised: "It's true that the surname is Ding and the name is Ruoshui. Do you know him?"

Chun Jinran couldn't help rolling his eyes: "It's not just that we know each other, we all share the same bed...uh...how many times have we had a night on the boat, drinking while swimming in the river, reciting poems and admiring the moon, it's really beautiful and joyful!"

Qi Wanguan and Guo Juan looked at each other, and read the same message from each other's eyes - it always felt weird.

Pei Xiaoyi snorted almost inaudibly.Swimming on the river and drinking at night?It's almost the same as turning upside down.However, Pei Xiaoyi was surprised that there was actually a man who was willing to do this with him. Sure enough, the world is so big that there are no surprises.

Hang Mingzhe didn't feel the bluntness of Chun Jinran's turn, and he didn't have Pei Xiaoyi's torch-like gaze. Now he only has one thing in his mind: "He and his benefactor are best friends? What if he arrests his benefactor to plead for mercy?" ? Why don't you kill him now to avoid embarrassment later?"

Qi Wanguan: "..."

Guo Juan: "..."

Pei Xiaoyi: "..."

Chun Jinran: "Third Young Master, you have spoken your mind."

Hang Mingzhe didn't do that.Firstly, the crimes of Chun Jinran and Pei Xiaoyi have not been confirmed; secondly, it is his father's business whether or not to kill people in the end, and the embarrassment is also his father's embarrassment. Thinking about it this way, the troubles of Mr. Hang San will never return. It's as easy as a fairy.

The day passed peacefully, the snow did not fall again, and even at night, the sky was still clear, and the moon showed its long-lost face, gentle and bright.It's just that the wind keeps blowing, and it's even more howling at night.Lunch and dinner are the pastries of the third young master, but with boiled snow water, it not only relieves the sweetness, but also warms people from the inside out.The only fly in the ointment is that there are only two quilts, so three or two people must get together to sleep.

Qi Wanguan couldn't be bothered, he divided the two and said, "Brother Guo and the third son are together, and you two are together."

Chun Jinran and Pei Xiaoyi both frowned, almost saying in unison: "Why?"

Hang Mingzhe gave the first reason: "You two are 'suspects', what if you stab us in the middle of the night?"

Guo Pan added: "I'm the tallest, and when combined with the two thinner ones, San Gongzi and Master Qi, it happens to be about the same size as the two of you who are more well-proportioned."

Qi Wanguan made a final decision: "Don't talk about anything else, just you two just asked the same sentence, there is a tacit understanding in the dark, if the two of you are really wronged, it is a rare fate in the dark that both of you are innocently involved , Shouldn't two people who have such a tacit understanding and fate be covered with the same quilt?"

Chun Jinran: "..."

Pei Xiaoyi: "..."

If a firm is losing money in every possible way, but there are still people willing to work for it, then either the employees are stupid, or the shopkeeper is brilliant!

It was night, and the five of them slept with their clothes on.

Strange to say, when there was no quilt the night before, people could sit and fall asleep around the fire, but now with quilts and a strong fire, it still seems not warm enough, wishing to wrap the quilt tighter, tighter.

Chun Jinran and Pei Xiaoyi were lying back to back, but they didn't really touch each other. The two kept a distance from each other by coincidence. Although it was small, it seemed to confirm Qi Wanguan's "tacit understanding theory".It's a pity that this tacit understanding is not mutual sympathy, but mutual hatred.

Chun Jinran sighed silently, he had only slept with two men when he was so old, and it turned out that Ding Ruoshui would call his pulse if he disagreed with him, and the guy behind him would slap him if he disagreed with him.He can accept that the hit peach blossoms bloom slowly and later, but you can't just bloom and bear rotten peaches, bitter apricots and astringent persimmons!

Speaking of Ding Ruoshui, he is also a strange person.

When Chun Jinran sneaked into his yard for the first time, the man was standing in the middle of the yard crying, crying until the pear blossoms were raining, I really feel sorry for him.Chun Jinran's heart fluttered all of a sudden, and when he entered the house, he slipped in together.Unexpectedly, the other party was still crying after returning to the house. Chun Jinran saw that the timing was not right, so she waited patiently, but the tears were still not drying up in the middle of the night. down.This time Ding Ruoshui really stopped crying, and immediately stepped forward to check if he was injured, and after finding a slight scratch on the palm of his hand, he began to apply medicine without saying a word, so that Chun Jinran even doubted himself at a certain moment. It is not an uninvited guest but a close relative or friend of the other party.

After getting to know each other for a long time, Chun Jinran realized that it wasn't how handsome and charming he was that night, but the benevolence of the doctor, and Ding Ruoshui's benevolence was especially soft.His compassion seems to be innate, no matter whether you are poor or rich, no matter whether you are good or evil, as long as you see the pain, he can't sit idly by.What's more terrible is that this compassion is not only for people, everything in the world is in his sentimental heart, the tears of the first acquaintance night are the withered plum trees in the memorial courtyard.

A man who occasionally sheds tears is pitiful, but cries every day, even to flowers, birds, fish and insects, it really makes people want to kick him.So within two days, Chun Jinran's charming thoughts disappeared completely.Ding Ruoshui didn't know this, he just felt that Chun Jinran was "heartless", as if Chun Jinran couldn't understand his "big love" no matter what.But it is such a strange thing that two people like this have become friends inexplicably.

So the fate between people is amazing. It was also a night chat. Ding Ruoshui didn't even know his name, so he healed his wounds. But he was covered with the same quilt as the one behind him, but he still didn't know the other person's name.

If he had known this earlier, he should have retreated decisively when the opponent whipped the first whip.With a knife on the head of Sezi, the pomegranate skirt is doomed...

Chun Jinran was regretting his mistakes, when suddenly he felt a gust of wind blowing into the gap between him and the victim, the wind was so evil, it seemed to penetrate through his shoulder blades, causing him unbearable pain.Chun Jinran gritted her teeth and insisted on not moving, but the wind turned back again!Chun Jinran couldn't bear it any longer, so he went all out and turned over suddenly, from facing Pei Xiaoyi's back to facing him, and then pulled the quilt to cover his back tightly.

The moment the quilt touched the back, Chun Jinran breathed a sigh of relief, the prickling pain in the shoulder blades gradually disappeared, and the warmth slowly gathered, how comfortable it was.Although he had to face an unattractive back for the rest of the night, it was worth comparing the two. Thinking of this, he closed his eyes with peace of mind, and quickly fell asleep soundly.

The moonlight came in from the window and shone on Pei Xiaoyi's face. Then, his eyelashes moved slightly, and his eyes slowly opened.

The breathing behind his back was even and long. Obviously, someone was sleeping soundly without heart.The frowning showed that Pei Xiaoyi was in a very bad mood, because he couldn't sleep.

Pei Xiaoyi also felt the evil wind that tormented Chun Jinran, but he was more tolerant than Chun Jinran.But Dangchun turned around cautiously, when the evil wind blowing on his back turned into warm breaths, he couldn't bear it at all.The evil wind doesn't come often at first, and the breathing is endless. He is really... very good. Someone must have heard his protest in a dream. His face slammed against his back.

Pei Xiaoyi narrowed his eyes, and clearly heard the sound of the string of reason breaking in his heart.

crunch.

Pei Xiaoyi, who was about to completely turn his back on him and throw him off his body, suddenly stopped, and a look of vigilance flashed in his eyes.It was the sound of stepping on the snow, although it was very small, it couldn't escape his ears!

crunch.

crunch.

The footsteps were getting closer, and they were clearly heading towards their room!

Pei Xiaoyi subconsciously touched the nine-section whip, but suddenly realized that the whip was still at Guo Pan's place.He didn't dare to delay any longer, he jumped up and said loudly: "Someone is coming!"

Guo Pan and Qi Wanguan got up almost at the same time, and instantly entered the state of defending against the enemy. Although Chun Jin was half a beat slower than them, he quickly woke up and became vigilant. Only Hang Mingzhe, who was not sleeping well, was directly caught by this With a yell, he rolled to the ground in fright, and he didn't stop rolling on the ground. He went straight to the door, and just in time for the door to be pushed open with a creak, so his whole body was shrouded in a shadow...

Feeling something was wrong, Hang Mingzhe slowly raised his head, and saw an iron blue face distorted almost beyond human appearance.

"Uncle Lu?" Hang Mingzhe called uncertainly.

The four people not far away were amazed, even my own mother might not be able to recognize this face, okay?
