Pray for rain

Chapter 12

Before leaving the city, Xie Wei saw very fresh pears at the market, so he bought a few for Pei Zhen to prepare.He conjured up two more fishing rods, bought some bait, and took Pei Xuan out of the city.

Pei Xuan looked at the pear and the fishing rod, and asked, "Why can the fishing rod be transformed, but not the pear and the bait?"

Xie Wei laughed and said, "The conjured food is all fake."

Pei Yu nodded, and asked again: "Brother Xie, can you fly?"

Xie Wei stopped and looked at his curious eyes, then hugged him directly, and flew to the lake in an instant.After putting down Pei Zhen, seeing his excited expression, Xie Wei smiled and said, "Why don't we compare who catches more?"

Pei Yu responded, "Okay!"

It just rained yesterday, and the lake is still a bit cold.In the distance, Zhongshan Mountain is surrounded by mist, and the bamboo forest behind is densely dripping with greenery. In the middle of the lake, there is an old man fishing in a boat.Xie Wei put a cloak on Pei Zhen's back, helped him fasten the laces, and then sat aside and started fishing.The fish in autumn are plentiful and plump. In less than an hour, Xie Wei caught several fish, big and small.Xie Wei originally wanted to go back and use those small fishes to simmer some fish soup for Pei Zhen, but he saw that Pei Zhen kept peeking at his fishing bucket.

Xie Wei secretly laughed in his heart, and quietly cast a spell to drive the fish away to Pei Zhen.

Soon there were fish in Pei Yu's place, and Pei Yu pulled a big fish out of the lake, laughed and said to Xie Wei, "Brother Xie, when I get home, I will cook you braised fish!"

Xie Wei smiled and nodded.

As the sun set, Xie Wei and Pei Yu counted the fish in the bucket.Under Xie Wei's control, Pei Yu caught one more fish than him.Pei Yu was very happy, and Xie Wei only left a few fish, and they couldn't eat too much, so Xie Wei put the rest back into the lake.

Pei Yu put away her fishing rod and planned to go home.But Xie Wei stopped him and said, "Is it good to eat grilled fish here?"

Pei Yu's eyes lit up, and he nodded impatiently.So Xie Wei asked him to go to the woods ahead to pick up some dry firewood, and then went to the bamboo forest ahead to cut two bamboos, removed the excess branches and leaves on the bamboo poles, and put the processed fish on them.

When Pei Zhen came back with a pile of firewood, Xie Wei took the firewood and lit a fire, raised the bamboo pole, sprinkled some salt on the fish, and slowly roasted it.Pei Yu was sitting on the side, with his chin resting on his hands, quietly looking at Xie Wei's extremely clear and gentle eyebrows and eyes illuminated by the fire.

After a long time, Xie Wei handed the grilled fish to Pei Zhen.Pei Yu took it, tore off a small piece, blew it cool, and handed it to Xie Wei's lips.Xie Wei opened his mouth to eat, and his lips accidentally touched Pei Xuan's fingers.Pei Xuan's face flushed slightly, she withdrew her hand, and slowly ate the grilled fish.Seeing that he had finished eating, Xie Wei handed him another one, and then baked one for himself.Seeing that there was some oil on Pei Xuan's lips, Xie Wei wiped it off with a handkerchief, and then extinguished the fire.

As the night was getting dark, Xie Wei picked up the fishing bucket with a few small fishes and followed Pei Zhen back to the Earth Temple.

There is no moon tonight, and there is a little damp breath in the air.Xie Wei guessed that it might rain at night. Zhong County is very rainy every autumn. As long as Xie Wei smells the humid air, he can guess the weather accurately, so Xie Wei urged Pei Zhen to wash up and go to bed early. So as not to catch a cold.

After washing up, Pei Yu lay on the bed, and asked Xie Wei, who was leaning on the book, pointingly: "Brother Xie, aren't you sleepy?"

Xie Wei looked at him and replied, "Not sleepy."

Pei Yu took the book away from Xie Wei's hand, leaned on Xie Wei's body, and stared at his soft eyebrows.Xie Wei stretched out his hand and unbuttoned Pei Yu's shirt, Pei Yu clasped his wrist, and kissed him deeply.

When it was almost dawn, Xie Wei finally heard the rain falling outside the window, the sound of rain dripping.And the yellow leaves in the yard were blown by the wind and rain and fell under the window, with a crisp sound.Xie Wei lay on the pillow, extremely sleepy.Pei Yu stretched out her hands to hug him, and the two fell asleep soundly.

Day after day, Zhong County soon entered winter.A few days ago, Pei Yu's wind and cold worsened, and Xie Wei could always hear his intermittent and suppressed coughing.Pei Yu was always worried about giving Xie Wei his illness, and didn't want to get too close to him.Xie Wei had no choice but to invite a doctor to see him. After the doctor checked his pulse, he hesitated to speak.And Pei Yu just asked: "Excuse me, is this disease contagious?"

Only the doctor sighed, "No."

The doctor asked Xie Wei to go with him to get the pharmacy elsewhere, Xie Wei followed him and stood in the courtyard, only to hear the doctor say: "He has a congested lung, I'm afraid the medicine is useless. If you still have any unfulfilled wishes, go there as soon as possible." do it."

Then the doctor handed Xie Wei a prescription and said, "Take the medicine according to this prescription, maybe it can reduce some pain."

Xie Wei took the prescription, thanked him sincerely, and sent the doctor away after giving a generous consultation fee.But Xie Wei didn't intend to grab the medicine, he didn't want Pei Yu to take the bad medicine all the time, he just needed to use the magic technique to relieve Pei Zhen's pain.

Xie Wei closed the door tightly to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.But Pei Yu said: "Open the window, it's so boring."

Xie Wei pushed open the window according to his words, and the bitter cold wind rushed in.Pei Yu took a deep breath, coughed a few times, and stretched out his hand to Xie Wei.Xie Wei squeezed his hand, cast a spell to heat up the whole bed, and then asked with a smile, "Is it cool?"

Pei Xuan nodded, and said: "My illness is just my whole body is weak, and I cough a few times, it's not very painful."

A gust of cold wind blew by, Xie Wei saw Pei Zhen flinch, so she stood up and wanted to close the window.When he turned around, he heard Pei Yu ask: "Brother Xie, am I dying?"

After closing the window, Xie Wei lay beside Pei Zhen, and replied: "It's just a minor illness, don't you say it's not very painful? It will be fine after a few days of treatment."

Pei Yu patted Xie Wei on the head, like Xie Wei did to him several times before, and then fell silent.

One morning, Xie Wei heard the sound of snow falling from the eaves.When I went out to see, it turned out that there was a heavy snow last night.Looking around, Zhongshan in the distance is also covered with white clothes. The mountain is covered with snow, which is as beautiful as snow floating on the clouds.Xie Wei cleared away the snow on several roads, then gathered a small handful of snow, and entered the house with a snowball.

Pei Yu hadn't woken up yet, Xie Wei put the ball of snow on his face, only to hear Pei Yu murmur: "It's so cold..."

Then he opened his eyes, and Xie Wei's cheerful smile came into his eyes.Pei Xuan sat up and said, "It's finally snowing."

After Pei Zhen drank some fish soup that he had simmered in the morning, Xie Wei asked, "Do you want to go out and have a look?"

Pei Yu smiled and said, "Okay!"

Xie Wei helped him put on his coat, wrapped it thickly and went out.Xie Wei put a wooden chair and a pot of charcoal fire under the porch, Pei Zhen sat down and watched Xie Wei sweeping the snow quietly.It was almost the second day of junior high, and many people would come to the Earth Temple to offer sacrifices and pray. Xie Wei had to clear away all the snow in the courtyard as soon as possible.

After all the snow was piled up in the corner, Xie Wei breathed a sigh of relief and planned to rest.He warmed a pot of wine, sat on Pei Yu's lap and ate melon seeds.The two of you had a drink and I had a drink, and soon Xie Wei became a little drunk and leaned against Pei Xuan's arms.In the end, Xie Wei stopped eating the melon seeds and fell asleep in Pei Yu's arms.Suddenly a few small snowflakes fell in the sky, Pei Yu covered Xie Wei with the cloak, hugged him and watched the snow quietly.

The cold wind was bitter, because the weather was too cold, Pei Yu rarely felt sleepy today, he vaguely felt that his condition was already very serious.But Xie Wei didn't want him to suffer, so he cast a spell on him, so he didn't know how sick he was.But he knew in his heart that he might not survive this winter.As a mortal, he was already prepared to thank Wei and leave, but he didn't expect it to be so early, and he was so ill.

Xie Wei suddenly clenched Pei Xuan's skirt uneasily in a dream, and Pei Zhen patted him on the back softly, feeling at a loss.

Not long after, the snow stopped and Xie Wei woke up.Pei Yu said to him, "Shall we have pot tonight?"

Xie Wei left from his arms, squatted down and rubbed his legs for him, and then said hello.

He still drank porridge at noon, and it wasn't that Xie Wei didn't want to learn. Pei Yu was guiding him step by step. The dishes he cooked were still horrible, and he really didn't have any talent.Xie Wei had no choice but to comfort himself with the reason that it was fortunate that Pei Yu was happy eating porridge every meal, and he was lucky that he was also good at making porridge.

After packing everything, Xie Wei went out to buy the things needed for hot pot.

Because he was worried that Pei Zhen would be alone at home, Xie Wei came back soon.Seeing Pei Yu reading his script on the couch, he was a little surprised that he didn't feel sleepy today.But Xie Wei didn't say anything, and after lingering with him for a while, he went to cook mutton soup.

After preparing the hot pot soup and dipping sauce, and washing the dishes, it was already evening, and Xie Wei wanted to see what Pei Zhen was doing again.After entering the room, but found that Pei Yu was not on the couch, Xie Wei was extremely shocked.He searched around and rushed into the yard, only to see Pei Xuan coming out of the room where the statue was.Xie Wei hugged him tightly and said, "Why are you up? I thought you disappeared..."

Pei Yu hugged him back, not understanding what Xie Wei was afraid of, even if he was terminally ill, he would only... be unable to disappear out of thin air.

Xie Wei let go of him, and when he saw Xie Wei's eyes were red, Pei Zhen was shocked, took his hand and explained, "I just went to see your statue." He remembered that he was rescued by Xie Wei behind the statue that day Next, I feel that I am in good spirits today, so I want to go and have a look.

Xie Wei sighed, "It's okay, let's go eat."

Pei Zhen and Xie Wei placed the hot pot in the yard, Xie Wei brought out all the washed vegetables, and filled Pei Zhen with a bowl of soup.Pei Yu took a small sip, was burned, and gasped again and again.Xie Wei handed him a glass of cold water, and said helplessly, "What's the rush?"

Pei Xuan recovered, and cooked vegetables in the hot pot.Seeing him eating happily, Xie Wei lamented that fortunately the hot pot is relatively simple, and only needs to boil a pot of soup, otherwise, with his cooking skills, I don't know how long it will take.

Suddenly, Xie Wei saw Pei Xuan put down the wooden chopsticks and looked directly at himself through the steaming steam from the hot pot, and then heard Pei Xuan ask: "Brother Xie, if I die... If I die, can we still live in the next life?" See you again?"

Xie Wei felt great grief in his heart, choked up and said, "If you remember me, I will definitely go to find you."

Pei Xuan sighed: "Then I will remember Brother Xie well."

At night Xie Wei lay in Pei Yu's arms, holding him tightly.

Pei Yu woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, took a breath, looked at Xie Wei's sleeping face, couldn't help but kissed his eyes, then hugged Xie Wei tightly, and closed his eyes tiredly.

The next day Xie Wei opened his eyes and heard the wind and snow outside the window.And on the bed beside him, the place where his beloved should be lying, was extremely cold.Xie Wei stared blankly at the bed curtain, not knowing what to think.

After a long time, Xie Wei's tears finally couldn't hold back and flowed down, soaking the pillow, and all the small, choked-up voices were covered by the whistling wind.
