Small Lingzhi

Chapter 56 Seeing the Stars

The two shadows under the moonlight kept moving slowly, the slender one didn't stop, but it didn't run again either.

Lingzhi walked very slowly. He hadn't been back to Wuqing Mountain for a long time, so his eyes lingered on every plant and tree. Even though it was just a replica of Wuqing Mountain, it didn't prevent him from suppressing his slight joy and walking on the familiar road. In the mountain road, there was a throbbing in my heart.

The slender and handsome figure behind him did not follow him closely, they were not far away from each other, so Lingzhi could meet that person's eyes as long as he turned his head.

Lingzhi didn't turn her head to look at Xiao Yan, she took a peek at the path at last, and then continued to walk up the mountain.

This re-enacted Wuqing Mountain is less hindered by the miasma. In the past, it took at least an hour to walk, and at least half an hour to arrive at the cave built by Lingzhi.

There is also a cave similar to his in Wuqing Mountain in front of him.

On the large platform outside the entrance of the cave, there is a stone stove covered with dust and stacked pottery bowls.

He stood outside the cave and looked around, his expression was erratic, as if he had been there in a dream.

Lingzhi wasn't sure if it was a dream, but he was somewhat familiar with this place.

At this time, it happened to be an excellent starry night, the deep sky was cloudless, the stars were densely covered, and the noise in the forest was like a hypnotic tone.

Lingzhi turned to the air outlet of the platform. The grass mats laid out were thick and soft. After a while, some of the color has faded. It is hard to tell whether it is fake or real.

His clothes were soft and loose, and when the wind blew gently, the sleeves of his clothes fluttered with the wind.The wind was a little stronger, and Lingzhi's hair was blown into a mess.

He stroked a few locks of hair sticking to his cheeks with his fingers, turned around, and almost bumped into the oncoming man.

Lingzhi walked around Xiao Yan and walked into the entrance of the cave.

The entrance and exit of the cave are better repaired than his cave in Wuqing Mountain. Because of his laziness, the entrance of his cave will always be overgrown with weeds. Therefore, someone should take care of this cave regularly.

The new grass at the entrance of the cave does not reach the ankles, just like stepping on a layer of soft meadow.The inside of the cave is pitch black, and the moonlight seeping in from the cracks in the stone at the top is like a jade belt. With the help of the faint light, Lingzhi looked at the cave with a somewhat dazed and nostalgic expression.

Lingzhi walked around to the stone platform to pick up a porcelain jar, and then put it down.

He pretended to be relaxed, and murmured softly: "My cave is not so tidy."

Lingzhi couldn't even help the oil tank when it was down, most of them were put away by Xiao Junqian every day because he couldn't stand it.

Lingzhi watched the cave quietly, for a long time, he turned his face to the side, and finally looked at Xiao Yan.

"Did you bring me here..."

He once had an unusually real dream, and at this moment he was no longer sure whether it was a dream, after all, Xiao Yan was skilled and could do many things.

Xiao Yan said yes.

He also said: "This mountain was repaired earlier, it took some time for the fruit to mature."

Xiao Yan wants to send Lingzhi a mountain that is no different from Wuqing Mountain and is full of fruits everywhere in a short period of time. The manpower and material resources spent in it are unimaginable.

Every tree species on the mountain has been carefully selected, and the fruits produced are sweet and juicy. If you search the entire mountain, you probably have no chance to find "crooked" fruits.

Lingzhi seemed to have expected it, and didn't feel the slightest surprise.He whispered "um" and didn't stay in the cave for too long.

All the things in his cave were taken away by Xiao Yan. I am afraid that weeds are all over the cave now. If he wants to go back to Wuqing Mountain, it will take time to clean it up.

Xiao Yan walked behind Lingzhi, and asked in a low voice: "Would you like to stay and see more?"

Lingzhi shook his head, he walked out of the cave, and stood on the big platform to enjoy the wind.

Perhaps the familiar environment made him feel relaxed, Lingzhi found a big rock and sat down, his legs dangling and shaking, his mind was emptied, and he didn't have to think about anything.

He suddenly became a little happy.

Lingzhi stretched out her hand and grabbed at her side, and really picked a fruit.

He took out a piece of soft silk stuffed by the little servant from his pocket, wiped the fruit in the palm of his hand carefully, bit the fruit in his mouth, the fresh and sweet juice seeped into his lips and teeth, and began to eat quietly in small bites.

Lingzhi's loose clothes were blown up by the wind, and the clothes were filled with wind, like a suddenly swollen lettuce.

He covered his clothes for a while and found that he couldn't cover it, so he simply didn't cover it, and fell back, lying on his back on the cool stones, all he could see was the stars filling the sky.

Lingzhi's slightly pursed lips curled up uncontrollably, he picked the fruit again, and looked at the stars while eating, everything became dreamy, not real.

Until a faint cold fragrance mixed with the breath of the wind came, the stone was spacious enough to accommodate two men, so Xiao Yan also lay down in Lingzhi's posture, a few arms away from him, and turned his face You can see clearly.

Lingzhi turned her head uncomfortably, and silently took a bite of the flesh.

Xiao Yan doesn't speak, and Lingzhi won't take the initiative to speak with the other party.

Starry night, mountains, wind.

The sound of insects disappeared at this moment, Lingzhi chewed the fruit with a rustling sound, he stopped eating the fruit, and stared at the endless starry night in a daze for the first time.

After a while, there was a rustling sound from the other side.

Lingzhi turned her head quietly, and saw Xiao Yan picking the fruit beside her and eating it.

He had a strange expression on his face, and turned back sullenly, facing the starry sky.

It has been a long time since Lingzhi lay on the rocks on the mountain and looked at the stars. He never thought that Xiao Yan would build him a mountain full of fruits and leaves. He also didn't expect that the wish he wanted to realize the most was right in front of him, and he could watch the stars with him. The person in question turned out to be Xiao Yan.

Unable to tell what it was like in her heart, Lingzhi was distracted for a while, and soon continued to look at the vast starry sky like the sea.

There is a stone pillar behind this place, which just blocks most of the wind blowing into the air outlet. The stone is in the lee of the stone pillar, and the weakened wind is cool and gentle.

Lingzhi lay on the rocks and swayed his legs. He felt at ease in the mountains, even if he was so close to Xiao Yan, he didn't feel uncomfortable.

Gradually, Lingzhi couldn't even open his eyelids. He obeyed his own will and wanted to use the ground as Xi Tian's quilt to sleep well. He really missed this feeling so much.

It wasn't until Lingzhi's breathing became stable that Xiao Yan tilted his body and his eyes fell on him.

Xiao Yan didn't bother her in the past, this place is like a childish Anyuan, he managed to let go of his defenses and sleep peacefully beside him with a smile, Xiao Yan didn't have the heart to break this hard-won warmth and tranquility.

He only looked at Lingzhi for a while, and then he lay back down again. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the boy's legs hanging under the stone, and he laughed silently for a moment.

Lingzhi was not very tall, and hanging his legs in the air for a long time would inevitably cause discomfort. Xiao Yan passed his arm through his back knee and exerted a slight force while paying attention to his sleeping appearance.

Lingzhi fell into a deep sleep, and even Xiao Yan put his legs on the stone platform and adjusted his posture slightly unconsciously.

After doing this, Xiao Yan returned to the position a few arms away from Lingzhi, and lay down again.

Xiao Yan's deep eyebrows and eyes are much softer, looking at the starfish curtain, her mind is peaceful, and there are strands of warmth surging.

There was a warm feeling in his rare heart, which originated from the smell of medicine on Lingzhi's body, which made him calm and addicted.

After a long time, Xiao Yan closed her eyes, her thoughts gradually faded, and she fell asleep with the heaven and earth as a mat like Lingzhi.

******************

Only half an hour later, Lingzhi woke up.

This feeling was long and gentle, and when he woke up, he was comfortable, like a cat waking up, its body stretched out, its waist and arms and legs stretched straight.

The sky is full of stars, and the river of light is like a silver belt.

Lingzhi suddenly remembered something, hurriedly put away his arms and legs, got up with a grunt, put his arms around his knees, looked sideways, and turned his gaze to the sleeping man on the other side of the stone.

He didn't know when he fell asleep, and he didn't even know that Xiao Yan was sleeping with him on the rocks.

Lingzhi pursed her lips, she looked at the brocade shoes from the corner of her eye, with a strange and awkward expression.

He just laid down and clearly hung his legs under the stone, but now he woke up in a comfortable sleeping position, so he turned his face to look at Xiao Yan, it was this person who carried him onto the stone.

Lingzhi caught a glimpse of Xiao Yan's handsome and peaceful sleeping face, and there seemed to be a very shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, with an indistinct hazy beauty.

Perhaps affected by the moonlight, but also due to psychological effects, Lingzhi looked at Xiao Yan a few more times, and covered his stomach with his hands wrapped around his knees.

It took him a lot of energy to walk up the mountain, and his stomach was empty.

There are ready-made fruits and leaves beside her, Lingzhi touched a few fruits, put the grass leaves in front of her nose, sniffed them, put them in her mouth and chewed them lightly.

The movement of his eating was weak, for fear of waking up the sleeping man beside him.

After Lingzhi finished eating the fruit and grass leaves, she put her arms on the stone, leaned back, her cheeks were facing the starry sky, and her two legs hanging on the stone were swinging back and forth.

At this moment he felt at ease.

A small insect flew over suddenly, Lingzhi flicked his sleeve and waved it, the flying insect got worse and attacked Lingzhi's face.

He turned around to avoid the bug, and this turn happened to be facing Xiao Yan. If he hadn't just folded his arms back to support the stone, he might have pushed his elbow straight in front of the opponent.

The elbow collided with the stone all of a sudden, and the pain transmitted in an instant made Lingzhi grin.

Lingzhi blinked slowly and waited for the pain in his elbow to subside. A flying insect flew by in front of him. He felt a little embarrassed, so he flapped his palms to drive it away.

The loose and soft sleeves swept back and forth from Xiao Yan's face, Lingzhi stared at the flying insect, raised her arms, and lowered her eyes, Xiao Yan's face was revealed when the sleeves were closed.

Xiao Yan's face was a little pale, which was different from the whiteness of the moonlight pouring down.

Lingzhi remembered that before this person came, he had cut his heart blood in his room and fed it to Ganoderma lucidum. He had only taken heart blood once, and he was afraid of that kind of pain, and he didn't want to experience it again.

Xiao Yan took so much effort, isn't he afraid of pain?

Lingzhi stared blankly at the deep eyes, realizing that she had lost her composure, and hurriedly turned her face away.

……

Xiao Yan didn't ask anything, didn't ask why Lingzhi always lay in his arms, didn't ask why he looked at her with such an expression.

Xiao Yan narrowed her eyes, and restrained the thought of hugging Lingzhi very well.

The nose was filled with the cool smell of medicine, Lingzhi was too close to him, Xiao Yan raised her hand slightly, and could hold this slender body in her arms,

But he didn't do anything, he avoided Lingzhi's clear and blank eyes, and asked with a smile on his lips, "What happened?"

Lingzhi blinked, her pupils became clear again, and said in a low voice, "A bug flew onto my face."

He swallowed his throat, only to realize that his voice was a little hoarse.

Lingzhi quickly withdrew his elbow propped on the stone, he swung the flying insects away too quickly, and now he came back to his senses, the pain from his elbow was densely drilled from his arm to all over his body.

The white and beautiful face was twisted, Xiao Yan almost subconsciously held his wrist lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Where does it hurt?"

With such a question, she almost guessed the location of Lingzhi's pain.

Lingzhi was trembling in pain, Xiao Yan was stunned for a moment, then covered her voice and said: "You are trembling because of the pain, not because you are afraid of me."

The summer clothes were soft and loose, and Xiao Yan effortlessly moved Lingzhi's sleeves to his arms, and by the moonlight, he could roughly see the red spots on his elbows.

Lingzhi's skin is fair, with obvious red spots.

Lingzhi pursed her lips, moved her wrist, but failed to break free from Xiao Yan's palm.

Xiao Yan said: "Don't move yet, see if there is any blood oozing from the skin, if you hurt your muscles and bones, you need to take care of it for a hundred days."

There was a time when Lingzhi fell down, and the steps knocked his knees through his clothes to create two bruises and blood oozing. Once a large area of ​​joints such as knees and elbows fell and bleeds, the pain is not unbearable for ordinary people.

Xiao Yan's face was serious and cold, and Lingzhi had a temperament that could be easily bluffed.

His wrists were held by Xiao Yan one by one, and his sleeves were lifted to his shoulders, revealing two white arms.

Xiao Yan untied something from his waist.

It is a matching pouch made of silver and gold thread.

Lingzhi watched as the other party took out a fluorescent night pearl from the matching pouch, and it lost all brilliance in the pouch. Taking it out, it could clearly illuminate the faces of the two of them, and if they got closer, even the eyelashes could be clearly seen. .

Xiao Yan stuffed Ye Mingzhu into Lingzhi's palm, and Lingzhi, who was about to move, instantly stopped moving.

Holding the bead, he felt the warm and cool breath rubbing against his arm like a feather, and even the pulsating tendons on his neck tensed.

Xiao Yan frowned lightly: "Some blood oozes."

But Lingzhi didn't hear the cry of pain.

The pain on Lingzhi's elbow has spread, from dull pain to excruciating pain, and the two spots on the back of the elbow that are red and oozing are burning hot.

He tried to move his arm, and found that the slight bend in the elbow was more painful.

Xiao Yan also noticed it, and slowly lifted Lingzhi's arm to let him hang down, took out a porcelain bottle the size of a thumb, and applied the ointment along the wound.

Lingzhi exhaled softly, Xiao Yan finished applying the ointment for him, and said: "Go down the mountain first, and find the imperial doctor to check if there is any injury to the bones."

As soon as Lingzhi heard that she was going down the mountain, she pinched the round night pearl with her fingers, without making a sound.

Xiao Yan could not laugh, and said lightly: "The body is important, this mountain will not run away out of thin air."

Lingzhi raised her neck and looked around reluctantly.He wanted to reach out for a fruit, but because he couldn't bend his elbow, he couldn't touch anything.

Xiao Yan said softly, "Let's go down the mountain first, and come back another day."

He said again: "You don't have to be too far away from me, you just promised... that you will get along with me for a month, and this condition has already taken effect."

When going down the mountain, Xiao Yan refused to let Lingzhi go by herself, Lingzhi stood still, turning her face away unnaturally.

"I hurt my hand, but not my foot. Why can't I walk by myself?"

Under the moonlight, the two figures seemed to be arguing, Lingzhi insisted on walking by herself, the moon was already tilted when she descended the mountain, and the imperial doctor summoned in the middle of the night was waiting outside the Jingsi courtyard.

Lingzhi's arm was injured, the cuff was pulled up to her shoulder, and her two white hands shook all the way.

Back at the mansion, the guards and servants on duty at night all lowered their heads, Lingzhi felt strange, and went back to the bedroom for the imperial doctor to check the injury on his hand immediately.

After the imperial doctor's examination, Lingzhi's injury on the elbow touched the joints, and the muscles and bones were injured for a hundred days, so he needed to rest and recuperate.

Lingzhi thought about a hundred days, so wouldn't he be dragging his two arms with limited mobility back to Wuqing Mountain?

After listening to the imperial doctor's explanation, Xiao Yan thought that there seemed to be a reason to keep Lingzhi for a longer time, maybe he could be sent away at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter.

Lying on the bed, Lingzhi obediently let the little servant wipe his face, hands and feet. Seeing that the man on the seat hadn't left yet, he said, "I'm going to rest."

Xiao Yan got up: "Go to sleep."

They seemed to be avoiding each other's eyes on purpose, and at the same time Xiao Yan's voice fell, he raised his eyes, just in time to meet Ling Zhi's gaze.

Lingzhi lowered her head and stared at his fingers.

Xiao Yan smiled warmly: "It will be busy in the next few days. You are inconvenient. If you are bored, go for a walk on the mountain."

Lingzhi nodded indiscriminately, saw Xiao Yan's back walking outside the door, and suddenly said: "No matter how beautiful this mountain is, it is still not Wuqing Mountain, so I will still leave."

The figure like light smoke and ashes outside the door paused slightly, Xiao Yan said: "I won't lie to you, I will definitely send you back when the time comes."

He added: "These days, you don't need to tell me about it intentionally, can you?"

The author says:

thank you all!

Xiao Yan is gambling. There is a saying that gambling dogs have nothing.
