Pray for rain

Xie Wei looked at Pei Xuan's upturned lips, and smiled at him: "It seems that you have gained a lot today."

Pei Yu nodded, put down the bamboo basket, and said, "I came across some Geshanxiang plants on the mountain, and I dug them up and sold them to the medical center in Lin County. This herb is very effective in treating poisonous snake bites."

Pei Yu leaned on the railing in front of the Earth Temple, looking very tired.He took a breath and wanted to hand something to Xie Wei, but Xie Wei saw that it was a handful of copper coins.

Pei Yu's eyes flickered, and he said shyly: "Thanks to Brother Xie for taking care of me these few days, I eat and drink for free, and I have to keep Brother Xie busy for me, so I feel very sorry... That's why I thought about going up the mountain to dig some The medicinal herbs are exchanged for money to thank you."

Xie Wei looked at his evasive eyes and knew that he was embarrassed again, so he said sternly: "I'm going to be angry now, does Young Master Pei think that I'm saving you for money?"

Hearing that Xie Wei started calling himself Young Master Pei again, Pei Wei said anxiously: "No, brother Xie, I just..."

"Just what?"

"I..." He was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, his face and ears were stained with a light pink again.

It won't be good to continue teasing, Xie Wei laughed, and took the copper coins: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I will use these money to give you extra meals tomorrow, but you are not allowed to go up the mountain until your body is fully recovered. "

Xie Wei had been panting slightly after hearing that Pei Xuan had returned, thinking that no matter how quickly the wound healed, he shouldn't be so tired, it's better not to let him go up the mountain again.

Pei Yu lowered her head and said, "Brother Xie treated me like this...I really can't repay you."

Xie Wei patted him on the head: "Old Madam Pei allowed me this shelter, and I can't repay you. You were the one that Madam Pei missed the most during her life, so you should just think of me as repaying Madam Pei's kindness. "

"Okay, let's go wash up and get ready to eat."

After dinner, Xie Wei stopped Pei Zhen: "I have a few words to ask you." Xie Wei set up a wooden table and two benches under the big tree in the temple a few days ago, and he made a pot of Tea, sat at the wooden table and took a sip from the teacup.

"I'm a little older than you, and I'm grateful to you for calling me brother, so I have to say something." Xie Wei lowered his eyelashes, and blew the froth from his teacup.

"I've also heard about the Pei family's affairs in the past few days. Although I don't know the inside story, I want to ask you, what are your plans for the future?" Xie Wei asked.

Pei Yu was silent for a long time, then said in a hoarse voice, "Actually, I don't know what to do in the future."

"When I was kicked out of the house by my second uncle earlier, I thought about fighting for all the family property. I never thought about fighting with him before, but he used some despicable methods to insult me ​​and even pissed my grandmother to death. Since If he wants to fight, let's fight to the end. But after thinking about it for a few days, I feel that if grandma knows that we are like this, she will be even more angry."

Pei Yu took a sip of tea, her eyes gradually moistened as red as a bunny's, and then she remained silent.

Xie Wei resisted the desire to pat his head, and comforted Pei Xuan, "It doesn't matter, think about it slowly, anyway, you can live here as long as you want."

Pei Zhen's teacup was empty, and Xie Wei refilled another cup for him.Pei Xuan lay down on the table, buried his face in his arms, Xie Wei heard his breathing gradually becoming a little heavy and disordered, so he couldn't help but pat his head lightly.

Not long after, Pei Yu fell asleep on his stomach. He was already very tired today.Xie Wei put away the teacup and carried Pei Zhen back to the room.

After discovering that Xie Wei could only cook porridge, Pei Zhen took over the position of being in charge of cooking.Pei Yu occasionally steamed a fish, occasionally boiled a pot of chicken soup, each time Xie Wei was so full that Xie Wei couldn't speak with his stomach full of tears.

He curiously asked Pei Yu how to cook so well as a young master from a rich family, Pei Yu replied: "Grandmother said my mother cooks good dishes, and she likes it very much. So I went to learn it, it's easy to cook." Feed her."

Pei Yu rested for a few more days, and couldn't stay idle anymore, and mentioned to Xie Wei again that he wanted to go up the mountain to collect medicine: "I thought about it carefully, the descendants of the Pei family have learned to recognize medicine since they were young, and I am only proficient in this one thing. I want to save some money and see if I can open a small pharmacy in the future."

Xie Wei felt a little heavy after being fed by him these days, so he simply said, "I'd better go with you, and climb more mountains to keep fit."

Pei Yu thought that Xie Wei was worried about him, and said, "Thank you brother." He picked up the bamboo basket and took Xie Wei up the mountain.

Today's weather is very sunny, the hillside is steep, Pei Yu soon broke out a thin layer of sweat, he looked back and saw Xie Wei was still breathing steadily, looking very cool.Pei Yu had some doubts in his heart, fearing that he would be uncomfortable, that his body would not disperse easily, and that he would easily get symptoms of heat.So he asked, "Brother Xie, are you tired? Shall we take a break?"

Xie Wei shook his head: "I'm not tired, let's continue climbing."

Pei Xuan was afraid that he would be brave, so he put down the bamboo basket first.

Xie Wei watched Pei Xuan stop, picked some miscellaneous herbs and put them into the bamboo basket, then reached out and pulled out a piece of dogtail grass, put it in his mouth, and sat on the stone beside him, waiting for him.Xie Wei rested his chin on the palm of his hand and looked at Pei Zhen quietly.Pei Yu's eyebrows were wide open, and her busy figure was very pleasing to the eye in this mountain.

After finishing sorting out the herbs he found useful, Pei Xuan sat down next to Xie Wei to rest.

Xie Wei asked, "Are these herbs valuable?"

Pei Yu shook his head: "These are just some common herbs that can be seen everywhere. Some medical centers will collect them from the herbal collectors at a low price. Generally, the larger pharmacies have their own medicinal fields, and most of the expensive medicines are delicate. , they will all grow their own.”

"Ah."

Xie Wei closed her eyes and leaned against the tree behind her.After a while, I heard Pei Yu calling him: "Brother Xie."

Xie Wei looked up at him: "Huh?"

Pei Yu handed him a bunny made of dogtail grass, which itself was fluffy.The little bunny looked so cute and was strong.Xie Wei took it over, and couldn't put it down, he smiled slightly: "I didn't expect you to do this."

Pei Yu said: "When I was young, I often made this for my cousin, he liked it very much."

Pei Xuan stood up and held out his hand to him: "Let's go, let's go to another place to see."

Xie Wei held Pei Xuan's hand and stood up, saying, "Okay."

As we walked, the mountain path gradually disappeared.It seems that few people have set foot here, so there is no way.Pei Yu felt that there might be some unexpected discovery, so she continued to move forward.Xie Wei followed behind him, looking left and right.The deeper he went into the mountain, the more he could feel a strong aura, maybe there was something good in front of him.

Pei Yu pushed aside the branches in front of him to look, and called him: "Brother Xie!"

Xie Wei asked, "What's the matter?"

Pei Xuan motioned him to take a look, and Xie Wei looked through the branches that Pei Zhen pushed aside, and saw a large area of ​​honeysuckle, and the dense vine branches were wrapped around several bushes, looking full of vitality.Pei Yu said: "Brother Xie, wait here, I'll go pick some flowers and dry them to make tea for you."

"it is good."

After picking a few handfuls of honeysuckle, Pei Yu felt that Xie Wei had had enough to drink for a long time, so he turned around and wanted to go back, but found a vine branch entangled his ankle.He bent down to untie it, but for some reason, the vine branch became more and more tightly entwined.He heard Xie Wei ask him again: "Are you ready?"

He replied, "Wait a minute, I'm entangled in vine branches."

Xie Wei felt that something was wrong, and he suddenly noticed a faint evil spirit.In an instant, he saw countless vine branches rushing towards Pei Yu, he stepped forward quickly, transformed into a sword, and swung the sword to slash at those vine branches, unexpectedly, he cut continuously.He had no choice but to chop the back of Pei Yu's neck with his hand, and Pei Yu fell down.He caught Pei Zhen, but saw that several vine branches had already wrapped around Pei Zhen's wrist.

Xie Wei poured mana into the sword, and Fang chopped off those vine branches.He raised his voice: "Who is it? Haven't shown up quickly yet."

He heard a childish voice behind him: "Who are you?"

Turning around, he saw a little girl in a red dress, who looked no older than cardamom, and he asked, "Who are you?"

The little girl replied: "He just picked my flowers, and I wanted to tease him."

Xie Wei put on a cold face and said: "The way you looked just now doesn't seem like a trick." If he hadn't followed up the mountain today, Pei Wei might have become the nourishment for this piece of honeysuckle.

The flower demon argued: "Grandpa Mountain God won't let us hurt people, I really just want to play with him, but his smell is so good, I couldn't help it..."

smell good?

Xie Wei and Pei Zhen lived together for more than half a month, except for the smell of soap powder on the clothes, they never smelled any special smell from him.

Who knows how many truths there are in this flower demon's mouth?Xie Wei said: "You didn't hurt his life today, so I won't pursue it. If you find out that you hurt someone's life in the future, you will never let me go lightly!"

The flower demon said aggrievedly: "I didn't do it on purpose, and the few sword strikes you just made hurt me so much."

Xie Wei looked at Pei Zhen's swollen ankles and wrists, some of the cuts were even bleeding, then he picked up Pei Zhen without saying a word, picked up the bamboo basket beside him and left.

When Pei Yu woke up, he found himself on Xie Wei's back. He asked, "Brother Xie? What happened just now?"

Xie Wei replied: "There is a poisonous vine among the flower vines. You were cut to the wrist and ankle but you didn't notice it. When you bent down to untie the honeysuckle vine, you passed out directly, which scared me a lot. Jump."

Pei Xuan seemed to feel that she was useless, so she replied sullenly, "Yes."

Seeing that he was still holding a bamboo basket in his hand, Pei Xuan felt that he was not so light, so he struggled to get off Xie Wei's back.Xie Wei turned one hand over and put his arms around his waist: "Don't move around, doesn't your ankle hurt?"

It was indeed in some pain, Pei Yu gave up struggling, hesitated for a moment and put his arms around Xie Wei's shoulders, then buried his head behind his back, muttering: "You always...I am..."

Xie Wei didn't hear clearly: "What?"

Pei Xuan replied: "It's nothing, Brother Xie, are you tired? Am I heavy?"

His body was really not heavy for Xie Wei. Xie Wei recalled that he went to chat with Yuan Zhen once, and Yuan Zhen was so far away that she handed him a sword.He took it, but couldn't hold it at all, and his hands were even scratched by the sword energy.

Yuanzhen turned around and saw that it was him, and immediately took the sword back from his hand.Then he told him that it was the magic weapon of Gengze Shenjun under the Rain God's seat, and it was borrowed by their family, Du'er Xingjun.At that time, he thought that Xie Wei was the one sent by Geng Ze Shenjun to fetch the sword, so he handed it to him.

Xie Wei thought, Pei Yu has lost a lot of weight in the past few days, and he is really light. He has to eat more to make up for it these days.He was distracted for a moment, tilted his head to avoid the warm breath that Pei Xuan exhaled behind his ear, and then said: "It's not heavy, I can still carry it on my back."
