Looking at Cui Yunshen's profile while he was sleeping, Ji Xiuzhu couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke Cui Yunshen's forehead, taking the opportunity to feel his warmth.
Her heart was filled with complex emotions, including worry about Cui Yunshen and confusion about Qin Lan's actions.
She knew that everything Qin Lan did was for her and for her master.
But she also knows that some things cannot be measured simply by right or wrong.
Qin Lan is not a child who would go astray, and she was not angry because Qin Lan put Cui Yunshen in danger.
Instead, she was angry that Qin Lan had concealed her true identity from her.
But after many days, she had already figured it out.
She was a little impulsive that day. If she had been able to listen to Qin Lan's explanation patiently, she believed that Qin Lan would be willing to tell her the truth.
Otherwise, impulse is the devil. When you get carried away, even good things can be ruined.
As he thought about it, Ji Xiuzhu fell into a daze.
Time passed slowly in silence. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the cave and fell onto Cui Yunshen's face, adding a bit of redness to his pale complexion.
But suddenly, Cui Yunshen's forehead, which should have been relaxed, was instantly twisted into a frown.
Seeing this, Ji Xiuzhu raised her hand and gently stroked it. Her fingers gently brushed across his cheek, as if she wanted to wipe away all his pain.
However, at this moment, Cui Yunshen's fingers moved slightly, his eyes slowly opened, revealing a pair of clear eyes.
His gaze lingered on Ji Xiuzhu's face for a moment, and then he revealed a faint smile.
"Master, I had a dream." Although Cui Yunshen's voice was weak, it carried a hint of warmth.
While speaking, he did not forget to continue holding Ji Xiuzhu's hand tightly.
"Oh? What did you dream about?" A hint of curiosity flashed in Ji Xiuzhu's eyes.
Cui Yunshen gently held Ji Xiuzhu's hand, and the strange light in his eyes seemed to be brighter. "I dreamed that we, the master and disciple, walked through thousands of mountains and rivers hand in hand, and finally found the legendary fairy grass. The master also made the fairy grass into nectar, and we got drunk together."
Ji Xiuzhu's lips curled up into a faint smile: "That's really a beautiful dream."
Cui Yunshen's eyes flashed with determination: "Master, I believe that this dream will come true one day."
Ji Xiuzhu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.
Ji Xiuzhu looked at Cui Yunshen and felt moved.
She knew that this child had always had a firm belief and an indomitable spirit, and had never given up hope even when in difficult circumstances.
"Good boy, as long as you have confidence, we will be able to realize this dream. But, have you forgotten that your master, apart from knowing how to make wine, has never brewed wine properly. If you want to drink it, you have to wait until I learn it from you." Ji Xiuzhu said softly.
Cui Yunshen smiled and nodded vigorously.
At this time, a breeze blew, bringing a little coolness. Ji Xiuzhu looked up at the cave entrance, and the sky outside was gradually getting dark.
"It's getting late, you should continue to sleep. I think you should be able to recover from your injuries by tomorrow morning." Ji Xiuzhu stood up and gently shook off Cui Yunshen's hand.
Cui Yunshen nodded, but he did not lie down to sleep obediently.
Instead, as soon as Ji Xiuzhu walked out of the cave, he followed Ji Xiuzhu out of the cave.
Ji Xiuzhu didn't expect him to follow her out, so he asked, "Why don't you just take a rest? What are you doing out here?"
"Disciple wants to accompany Master." Cui Yun looked at Ji Xiuzhu affectionately.
As she spoke, she took Ji Xiuzhu's arm, leaned her head on Ji Xiuzhu's arm, and started to act coquettishly.
Ji Xiuzhu's heart softened and he nodded slightly, and the two of them sat down outside the cave together.
The forest is especially quiet at night, with only the sound of the breeze blowing through the leaves.
Cui Yunshen looked at Ji Xiuzhu, his heart filled with warmth. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, as long as Ji Xiuzhu was by his side, he would have the courage to face everything.
"Does the wound still hurt?" Ji Xiuzhu asked with concern.
Cui Yunshen shook his head, swung his arms and said, "With Master here, I don't feel any pain at all. And Master, look, my arms and legs are very strong. Don't worry!"
Ji Xiuzhu smiled and touched Cui Yunshen's head, his eyes full of love.
The master and disciple just sat there quietly, enjoying this peaceful moment.
At this time, the moon was hanging high in the night sky, casting countless silver lights and illuminating their figures.
Under the moonlight, the shadows of Ji Xiuzhu and Cui Yunshen were very long, like two trees, deeply rooted in the land.
Ji Xiuzhu's eyes were gentle, and she gently stroked Cui Yunshen's head, as if she was stroking a precious treasure.
"Master, look at the moon, it's so round." Cui Yunshen pointed at the moon in the sky, his eyes flashing with childlike curiosity.
Ji Xiuzhu looked up and saw a full moon hanging in the sky, dotted with a few sparse stars, quiet and peaceful.
She smiled and said softly, "Yes, the moon is really round tonight. I wonder if there is anyone else looking up at the moon besides us?"
Cui Yunshen leaned closer, his voice tinged with dreaminess: "Master, do you think Chang'e and the Jade Rabbit really live on the moon? I remember you told me when I was a child that there lived a fairy named Chang'e on the moon, and she also had a pet named Jade Rabbit."
Ji Xiuzhu chuckled, with a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Who knows? Maybe there really is. But even if there isn't, it is still a beautiful hope in people's hearts."
Cui Yunshen nodded, his eyes full of yearning: "When my injury heals, I will practice hard, and then ascend with Master. I want to go on adventures with Master, to those legendary places, and look for those mysterious stories. In my life, I have never seen the fairy Chang'e."
Ji Xiuzhu's eyes flashed with approval: "Okay, when you ascend, we will go together. But now, you still need to rest well and recuperate."
Cui Yunshen nodded obediently, he knew that Ji Xiuzhu was doing this for his own good.
He leaned gently on Ji Xiuzhu's shoulder, feeling her warmth and care.
The night breeze blows gently, bringing with it the freshness of the mountains and the fragrance of the earth.
Here, there is also the floral scent in Ji Xiuzhu's hair.
Ji Xiuzhu closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She could feel Cui Yunshen's body temperature and his gradually steady breathing.
"Master, thank you." Cui Yunshen's voice suddenly sounded. Although it was weak, it was full of sincerity.
Ji Xiuzhu opened her eyes and gently patted Cui Yunshen's hand: "Silly boy, why thank me? You are my apprentice, so I will naturally take care of you."
A smile appeared on Cui Yunshen's lips. He knew that although Ji Xiuzhu's words were simple, they contained deep emotions.
He closed his eyes, his heart filled with gratitude and warmth.
It was late at night and everything in the mountains and forests fell into a deep sleep.
Under the moonlight, their figures are closely attached to each other, like two inseparable stars, jointly guarding each other's beauty in the dark night.
