flagship summer song

It is said that after the Taoist owner and the water ghost fought, the room was full of water, and no one could live there anymore. Xu Xiaoxian asked the Taoist owner to help Chen Yao to the next room, and checked the inn up and down by himself, but found nothing. It's the same, but the well in the middle of the yard still makes a gurgling sound from time to time, Xu Xiaoxian covered the well with a wooden plank, and pasted a few butterfly talisman papers around it to suppress it.

Upstairs, the Taoist owner helped Chen Yao to the bed. Chen Yao had a back injury and had to lie on his stomach. The Taoist owner asked what happened just now, then looked down at Chen Yao's back, and said, "When I was traveling in Jianghu, I once I have seen the massage technique for treating bruises, rubbing and pushing on the injured muscles with both hands to disperse the congestion, and the injury will heal quickly, Mr. Chen, would you like to try it?"

Chen Yao had heard of this kind of massage technique before, but he was skeptical about Master Taozhuang's skill, and was hesitating how to decline, when he felt a pair of hands pressing on his waist indiscriminately, the pain was so painful that he didn't cry out, and almost passed out .

"How is it? Does it hurt?" Master Tao didn't apologize, and continued to work while explaining: "It's right if it hurts, it means you pressed the right place, and it will be fine after the pain is over for a while, Mr. Chen bear with it. "

Chen Yao gasped, unable to utter a word, only felt that all the sensations were concentrated in the severe pain in the waist, and the smooth hands of Taozhuang Master stimulated his nerves one after another.

Hearing the screams upstairs, Xu Xiaoxian immediately jumped up to the window sill on the second floor, only to see Chen Yao lying on the bed, his hands tightly clutching the sheets, his forehead was sweating, his face was pale, and the owner of the Taozhuang Village next to him was also full of hair. Khan was exercising his "massage technique", he couldn't make up his mind for a while, but seeing Chen Yao's face in extreme pain, he couldn't bear it, so he hurriedly stopped Taozhuang Master before he was about to strike again.

"I'm treating him right now, why are you making fun of it, get to the side quickly." The Master Taozhuang waved to drive Xu Xiaoxian out.

Xu Xiaoxian glanced at Chen Yao who was almost passed out, raised his voice a little angrily, and said, "Heal your ass, look at his appearance, if he is in pain now, believe it or not, I will drag you to be buried with him." !"

"I can't bear this pain, what kind of a man is he?" Taozhuang Master snorted softly, glanced at the person on the bed with contempt, got up and jumped out of the window, Xu Xiaoxian hurried to the window and asked him what he was doing.

"Cooking, I'm hungry, so I don't bother to take care of you little brats." Saying that, Master Tao got into the kitchen where half of the door had collapsed.

Xu Xiaoxian heaved a long sigh of relief, and walked back to the bed. Chen Yao probably also heaved a sigh of relief, his eyes were closed, and he was still panting slightly. Xu Xiaoxian found a towel and a basin, and wiped Chen Yao's face.

He asked softly: "Mr. Chen, can Xiaoxian take a look at the wound?"

Chen Yao opened his eyes and looked at him, nodded, and said, "Help me up."

Xu Xiaoxian supported Chen Yao's arm to help him sit up. Chen Yao looked at him and suddenly smiled.

Xu Xiaoxian: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Chen Yao shook his head with a smile, unbuttoned his shirt, turned around to let Xu Xiaoxian check the wound on his waist, and asked, "How is it?"

Xu Xiaoxian is not proficient in medical skills, but only knows a little bit. He saw that the wound on Chen Yao's waist was red, purple, and blue. It was indeed just a common bruise. He just said: "Skin trauma, it's okay, I'll wipe it with medicinal wine for you in a while, and it will be fine in a few days after the bruise clears up."

"What medicinal wine?" Chen Yao experienced a lot of "torture" from the owner of Taozhuang, and he also expressed deep doubts about Xu Xiaoxian.

"I don't know, anyway, my husband said it works." Xu Xiaoxian took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, the bottle was plugged with a red cloth, and when it was opened, it had a strong bitter smell——Chen Yao thought the smell was very familiar. It seems to have smelled it somewhere, but I can't remember it after thinking about it.

Xu Xiaoxian saw that he was frowning and did not speak, so he asked: "Mr. Chen, do you want to try?"

Chen Yao knew that the medicinal ingredients in the medicinal wine were beneficial to his wounds, so he nodded and reached out to take the medicinal wine, but Xu Xiaoxian took it back and said, "You have a wound on your back, how do you wipe it yourself? Don't worry, I'm not as careless as Master Peach, so I won't hurt you."

With that said, Xu Xiaoxian helped Chen Yao to lie down, poured the medicinal wine into his palms, rubbed his hands together to warm them up, and then put them on Chen Yao's waist, gently pressing the wound.

Chen Yao felt a little pain at the beginning, but he was quickly massaged by those warm hands, and the strength of those hands was gentle and just right, and then he even began to enjoy this experience.

He turned his head slightly, only to see Xu Xiaoxian's downcast eyes, never paying attention to his gaze, probably concentrating on "healing" him.

He turned his head, his chin rested on the pillow, looked at the carved wood carving on the bed, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "You said before that you bought my life, what do you mean?"

Xu Xiaoxian's hands paused, and he said with a smile: "You spend money, and I will eliminate disasters. Of course, I bought your life. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Chen Yao didn't look back, but he could imagine the smile on Xu Xiaoxian's face at this time, there must be something hidden that he didn't tell him.

"Then if I have no money, will you still help me?"

Xu Xiaoxian didn't answer, but the strength in his hands suddenly increased a lot. Chen Yao gritted his teeth and endured, but didn't say anything, just waiting for his answer.

"How is it possible?" Xu Xiaoxian withdrew his hands, went to the basin to wash his hands, and said, "Okay, Mr. Chen, put on your clothes, it's getting late, if you're not hungry, go to bed earlier, little boy Immortals go down to see if Master Taozhuang's meal is ready."

After finishing speaking, Xu Xiaoxian walked out of the room door, Chen Yao struggled to sit up, and while putting on his clothes, he called to stop him: "Xu Xuan, what I promised sir, I will definitely do it."

Standing by the door, Xu Xiaoxian looked back at Chen Yao, suddenly smiled, and said, "It's up to you."

Chen Yao watched the figure disappear in a hurry, and the door was gently closed. He lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and could hear the summer insects chirping outside the window, and the owner of Taozhuang walking in front of the stove in the yard. The sound of crushing mud and stones.

But he couldn't find the sound of Xu Xiaoxian's footsteps. Could it be that Xu Xiaoxian was still standing at the door and didn't leave?

The smell of medicinal wine permeated the whole room, and there was still a faint residual warmth on his waist. Suddenly, he remembered where this familiar smell came from his memory.

"Is that the child..." He looked at the veil above his head, muttered to himself, closed his eyes unknowingly, and fell asleep with vague memory fragments.

Downstairs, the Taoist owner had finished the meal and was about to take it upstairs, but saw Xu Xiaoxian sitting alone on the first floor, so he walked up to him, put down the meal, took a few more candles, and lit the lamp After setting it up, I sat down and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you lose money?"

"No," Xu Xiaoxian didn't want to talk too much, took the bowls and chopsticks and started eating, until the meal was over, the two of them didn't talk anymore.

Master Taozhuang: "Did Mr. Chen provoke you?"

"Half and half," Xu Xiaoxian brought a jar of wine from behind the counter, and drank directly from the bowl with Tao Zhuangzhu, "The 18-year-old daughter Hong is really a blessing in disguise."

"It's not half as mellow as my Peach Blossom Brew." The owner of the peach farm was disgusted, but he slurped down a bowl, went to fill it up, and said, "Don't change the topic, what happened to Mr. Chen?"

"I don't know." Xu Xiaoxian drank five or six bowls, was already slightly tipsy, shook his head and said, "I always think he is too smart, sooner or later, he will clean up all my affairs."

"You have nothing to hide about your nonsense. This Mr. Chen came from a famous medical family. Although he cannot be passed down in the family, it is not easy to reach the current level just by relying on the handwriting left by his mother. It would be difficult to do so without innate talent. I think he treats you sincerely, why do you have to make things difficult for him, in the rivers and lakes, many friends are better than many enemies."

"Oh, sincerity? I pointed out that his sincerity can be eaten!" Xu Xiaoxian chuckled, and took another sip of wine. It was late at night, and he was a little sleepy, but he was reluctant to part with the good wine, and wanted to drink while holding it. , Master Taoist remembered that he was still injured, so he snatched the jar of wine, helped him up, and walked upstairs.

Chen Yao was a light sleeper. He woke up when he heard footsteps coming upstairs. When he got up, he saw the owner of the Taozhuang Village walking in with Xu Xiaoxian on his back. He smelled the faint aroma of wine. He hurriedly let the bed out. Throw it on the bed, just pull the quilt and cover it, and it's over.

Master Taozhuang: "I'm sorry, I forgot that he was injured and didn't stop him. When he wakes up, you can scold him well, and I won't accompany you."

After talking about Taozhuang Master, he turned and left. Chen Yao asked him where he was going, and he only said that he was going to guard the gate on the first floor.

Chen Yao sighed, and looked back at the person on the bed who was hugging a corner of the quilt and curled up like a baby in a swaddle. Chen Yao gently brushed off the hair that fell on Xu Xiaoxian's forehead, and that pretty face had a faint smile. She was blushing, but her brows were tightly frowned, as if she couldn't find peace even in a dream.

"Sir, sir..." Xu Xiaoxian muttered something, the words behind were too small, Chen Yao leaned over and put his ear close to his lips, but still couldn't hear clearly.

Chen Yao remembered that Xu Xiaoxian kept calling Mr. Xu the night he was injured and unconscious in the bamboo forest.

"Ping'er," Chen Yao stretched out his hand to press Xu Xiaoxian's shoulder. This name seems to have some kind of magical power. The last time it scared the person in the dream to fall from the tree. This time Xu Xiaoxian just moved his eyelids lightly, without opening his eyes Eyes, but the frowning brows gradually stretched.

When Xu Xiaoxian's breathing calmed down, Chen Yao let go of his hands, tucked in the quilt again, lay down carefully beside him, covered himself with his coat, and fell asleep on his side.

It's just that the night was not peaceful, just after the third watch, Xu Xiaoxian suddenly yelled and sat up from the bed in shock, waking up Chen Yao beside him.

The sky outside the window was still dark, and there were a few roosters crowing in the distance. Chen Yao saw Xu Xiaoxian sweating profusely by the dim candlelight in the room, covering his head with his hands and panting, as if he had just come from a far away place. Guessing that he must be having a nightmare, he quickly got up and lit the candle wick, took the teapot on the table and poured a glass of cold water, and returned to the bed.

"Drink some water to moisten your throat first." Chen Yao put the teacup in Xu Xiaoxian's hand, and gently pressed the back of his hand on his forehead, lukewarm, "Have a nightmare?"

"Yeah," Xu Xiaoxian raised the teacup to his lips, took a sip, then gave it up, returned the teacup to Chen Yao, wiped his sleeves on his face indiscriminately, the aftertaste of the wine made him feel like a headache Cracked, so I had to lie back on the bed and rub my hands on my temples.

"Mr. Chen," Xu Xiaoxian squinted at Chen Yao, who was fiddling with teapots at the table, thinking that he woke him up and asked others to serve tea and water. I can't open it again.

Chen Yao put down the teapot, walked over, and asked him what's the matter, but he shook his head again without speaking, and turned his back to take a nap.

Seeing that he didn't talk to him, Chen Yao didn't ask any more questions. She stretched out her hand to help him tuck the quilt, turned around and went back to the table, picked up the teapot and was about to go downstairs, when Xu Xiaoxian sat up suddenly and called him: "Wait a minute, you're going where?"

"Go downstairs and boil some hot water up," Chen Yao shook the teapot in his hand, and walked out of the door as he spoke. Xu Xiaoxian quickly jumped off the bed, and chased after him without even thinking about putting on his shoes. Go up and grab Chen Yao's sleeve to prevent him from leaving.

"What's the matter?" Chen Yao frowned, feeling amused and strange at the same time, turned around, Xu Xiaoxian let him go only when he saw that he was not leaving.

"I'll go with you, it's not safe here, it's better for the two of us together," Xu Xiaoxian endured a headache, hurriedly found shoes to put on, and followed Chen Yao downstairs to boil water. It reassured both of them a lot, and they couldn't help but smile knowingly.

In the kitchen in the backyard, Master Tao boiled a large pot of boiling water. Chen Yao lifted the wooden lid of the pot, and a wave of heat came up, with a faint fragrance of firewood.

Xu Xiaoxian found a gourd ladle for Chen Yao, and when the teapot was full, the two returned to the room on the second floor together.

Chen Yao poured water for Xu Xiaoxian again, this time he was finally willing to drink up the water in the glass, put down the glass, let out a long breath, and felt that the pain in his head was not so great.

Xu Xiaoxian: "Master Chen..."

"Chen Yao," Chen Yao interrupted Xu Xiaoxian, and said, "You can call me Chen Yao, instead of the young master."

"That won't work, how can I call you by your first name and surname," Xu Xiaoxian shook his head when he thought of Mr.'s bamboo stick, and said, "At any rate, you are also one of the four sons of Nanyuan. You still have to follow the rules.”

"Then you don't like me calling you by your name?"

Xu Xiaoxian paused, laughed, and said, "I like being called Banxian."

"Then, what about Jin'er?"

Xu Xiaoxian put away her smile, looked down at her hands, and said softly, "That's what Mr. called."

"Half-immortal is still more blessed than me." Chen Yao poured another glass of water for Xu Xiaoxian, and also filled a glass for himself, using water instead of wine to fill his stomach. It was warm. He looked at the bottom of the empty glass and said He said to himself, "No one has called me Yao'er for many years."

Xu Xiaoxian opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

After pondering for a long time, he said, "It's okay, you still have a younger sister. You should be a good brother in the future and help me take care of the little goddess."

"No help."

"Hey, Chen Yao, that's your sister!"

"The little goddess is going to be 12 years old this year, right?"

"I don't know," Xu Xiaoxian shook his head. He knew that what Chen Yao wanted to ask was not the age of the little goddess. I picked it up from the mountain. When picking herbs, my husband slipped and rolled down the mountain. My leg bone was broken and I couldn’t move. I almost passed out after starving for a day and a night. He flew..."

"Is it the bat of the little goddess?"

"Well, the little goddess saved my husband, and my husband took her home again, taught her to speak and read, and gave her a name, but the little goddess played well with me. When I saw that she could call bats, I called her Little Goddess, she has been called a lot, and people around her also call her that, it is a waste of such a good name, and she has never been called, not even Mr.

"Do you know my mother, sir?"

Xu Xiaoxian looked at Chen Yao, hesitated for a moment, avoided Chen Yao's eyes, and shook his head slightly: "I don't know."

"How do you know that the little goddess is my sister?"

"When the master brought the little goddess back, the little goddess had that Tao Xun hanging around her neck."

Chen Yao remembered that his mother's boudoir name was engraved on the bottom of the Tao Xun, and Xu Xiaoxian and the others used this to determine that the little goddess came from the Chen family. As for whether it was his sister, it was probably based on his reaction when he saw the little goddess. Inferred.

Only Chen Yao knew how similar the little goddess was to his dead mother. Even when the little goddess appeared in Chen's house that night, he thought it was Xu Xiaoxian's soul-calling talisman that summoned his mother back from the underworld.

If it wasn't for this reason, how could the butler be so frightened by a little girl that he couldn't get sick? There is nothing more terrifying than a person who has been dead for many years returning to the world.

"Chen Yao, if you can return safely from this trip to the north, can Xiaoxian ask you one thing?"

"what?"

"I would like to ask you to teach the little goddess medical skills. She is the descendant of your Chen family. Although she started late, she is very smart. Your mother should also hope that her medical skills can be passed on."

Chen Yao originally thought he had something to do, so he agreed without thinking carefully, and said: "My mother left a lot of letters when she was alive, and I have read them several times over the years, but I have no chance to practice them. If you are willing to learn from me, I will naturally teach you everything I have, but the medical skills of the Chen family have always been passed down from male to female, from descendants to descendants, so it may not be easy to learn the authentic Chen family's medical skills."

"It's okay, it's fine if you agree. I'll thank Mr. Chen for the little goddess first." Xu Xiaoxian thanked him while taking out a talisman paper from his sleeve, dipped his fingertips in a little water stain on the table, and put it on the talisman paper. There was something written on it, and the water dried up quickly, leaving nothing on the talisman paper.

Chen Yao asked, "What are you writing?"

"Letter, tell the little goddess what you promised, so that you won't regret it in the future," Xu Xiaoxian quickly folded the talisman paper into a butterfly shape with both hands, and whispered something in his mouth, the butterfly talisman paper Unexpectedly, he spread his wings and flew from his palm, wobbled around the room twice, and then flew out of the window.

In fact, he only wrote four words - see the letter and be safe.

When the little goddess saw the butterfly in the yard, it was already broad daylight. The little goddess unfolded the butterfly talisman paper and held it up to the sun. When she saw the words, she ran into the house to give it to her husband.

The husband took a look at the talisman paper, refolded it into a butterfly shape and gave it to the little goddess, telling her to go outside to play, while he lowered his head and calculated it, the more he calculated, the more he frowned.

The haze in the sky of Kitazawa is getting heavier and heavier.

"If it wasn't for this dangerous trip, Min'er would never have written back to report that he was safe. It seems that we should pack up and go."
