Peach Blossom Dyeing Jinge

The bowl of medicine syrup bottomed out, and most of the redness and swelling on Ni Yan's body had subsided. The smell of herbs permeated the room, covering up the strong smell of blood. The injured boy also relaxed a lot, and wiped the remaining medicine soup on his mouth with a handkerchief .

When Dongqing looked at Ni Yan's injury, Lu Zhengqiu was not idle, he put Ni Yan's blood-stained clothes into the wooden basin, and then rummaged through the box to find a few clean old clothes and put them beside the pillow.

"Put this on later, it's a bit old, there's nothing wrong with it."

Not only is there nothing wrong with it, several old shirts are neatly folded, and the fabric has a light fragrance of camphor, which smells more comfortable than new clothes.

Ni Yan quickly understood, shook her head and said, "No need, these are brother Dongqing's clothes, I can't take them."

Lu Zhengqiu waved his hands and said: "It's okay, he wore these a few years ago, but now he's too tall and strong to wear them, and it's a waste to put them on the bottom of the box, so take them if you don't mind." See Ni Yan was still hesitating, and added, "Don't worry, I didn't wear this when I was fighting with the bear."

Lu Dongqing: "..."

He has long been used to the master making fun of his own family. In other families, it is the apprentice who creates problems for the master and makes trouble for him, but the situation is completely reversed.If it weren't for the thin memory of his childhood, he would have wondered why he became this person's apprentice.

The herbs in his hand had bottomed out, he put the medicine bowl aside, and announced: "Okay, the bleeding has stopped, you can move around on your own, do you feel better?"

Ni Yan was gritting her teeth, but after listening to his words, she propped herself up suspiciously, and moved her arms tentatively: "Hey, the bleeding has really stopped, and it doesn't hurt anymore."

Lu Dongqing said: "All the anti-inflammatory medicines are used for you, not only to stop bleeding, but also to relieve pain, but you have to remember not to touch the wound, come back tomorrow, and I will change the medicine for you."

"No...don't bother."

"I use it as I say, and listen to the doctor."

"Oh……"

Ni Yan propped up her body, straightened her clothes, slid down the edge of the bed, and stood back on the ground in good order.

He picked up the folded clothes beside the pillow, glanced quickly in Lu Dongqing's direction, and confirmed that the other party had turned away with the medicine bowl in hand, then carefully put on the clothes, closed the skirts, and tied the waistband bring.

He rested his hands on the belt for a while, his eyes were downcast, and he seemed to be in a daze.

Lu Dongqing had put down the medicine bowl and turned back. Seeing Ni Yan staying where she was, she asked, "What's the matter, is it uncomfortable to wear somewhere?"

"No." Ni Yan shook her head, "I was just thinking, if only I could become a person like Brother Dongqing..."

Lu Dongqing raised her eyebrows: "Do you want to study medicine? That's easy to say. You will often come to me in the future, and I can teach you."

"No, that's not what I meant..."

Seeing Ni Yan's flickering expression, Lu Dongqing was even more confused, and continued to ask, "What does that mean?"

But the other party took a step ahead, took out a handful of broken silver from the pouch at his waist, and stuffed it into his hand: "This is the consultation money, including the last time and the last time."

Lu Dongqing glanced down, immediately waved her hands and said, "This is too much."

"Not much, it should have been returned to you long ago."

"Where did you get so much money?" Lu Dongqing wondered, "Is it true..."

"I really didn't steal it, really," Ni Yan argued hastily, and took another step forward, pressing the broken silver into his palm, and said earnestly, "Please take it."

"...Okay." Lu Dongqing finally nodded.

Ni Yan breathed a sigh of relief, stepped back half a step and said, "Then I will take my leave first."

Lu Dongqing looked at him: "Are you leaving now? It's okay to stay and rest for a while. I'll make fish soup for you tonight."

"No need," he shook his head, "Yue'er is still waiting for me to go back and cook."

"Okay," Lu Dongqing watched his back and turned around, but headed towards the window, and couldn't help crying, "That's not a door, it's a window."

A gray-backed sparrow was parked on the edge of the window. It kept turning its head and cast its curious eyes on the simple interior.

Ni Yan's shoulders trembled, and she turned around slowly, her face flushed red: "...I must be confused."

Lu Zhengqiu smiled from the side: "Did you jump out of the habit by jumping out of the window and really want to become a swallow?"

"I……"

"I just saw mud spots on the hem of your clothes, and the hem of your shoes is also wet. I think I just fell in the water not long ago. I heard that there is a child who often runs to the town recently. It seems to be you."

Ni Yan pursed her lips and did not speak.

Lu Zhengqiu didn't blame him, just came to him, and said slowly: "Since the imperial court promulgated the ban on martial arts, only officials in the government can go out with swords. Learn to protect yourself, said, raised his hand and rubbed his head: "By the way, next time if you are in danger, call your brother Dongqing's name, louder. "

Ni Yan's expression was stiff: "I... I see, then I'll go first."

Lu Zhengqiu said: "You can go out this time, the windows of my house are small, I'm afraid they won't be able to accommodate a swallow as big as you."

Ni Yan was amused, and couldn't help but let out a snort, then lowered her head with shame, her cheeks flushed slightly.

At this moment, he put on clean clothes, washed off the mud on his face, and revealed a delicate and fair face, which looked no different from an ordinary teenager.

He had already taken half a step, but turned his head cautiously, looking at Lu Dongqing's back.

In order to avoid the master's ridicule, Lu Dongqing turned around to wash the medicine bowl by the basin, completely unaware of the sight behind her.

Lu Zhengqiu saw everything in his eyes, so he raised his voice: "Dongqing, Yan'er is leaving, why don't you come and say something?"

"Huh?" Lu Dongqing straightened up and turned around.

But the boy had disappeared at the door, leaving only a thin crack between the two doors, as thin as a loach.

Lu Dongqing scratched her head and said with emotion: "You are really impatient."

After the patients were sent away, the pharmacy became quiet again, and the sky in the west gradually became golden, and it was another common evening.

Lu Zhengqiu leaned against the window, vacantly looking into the distance, as if watching Ni Yan's back.

His slender eyebrows stretched out, his light-colored eyelashes drooped slightly, trembling in the sunlight that leaked through the crack of the door.

He is indeed not young, he is already in his thirties. Over the years, his temples have been grayed out, and the corners of his eyes have been wrinkled. The traces of time on his body are no lighter than that of Dongqing.

But his appearance is still very handsome, with a high nose bridge, slightly protruding cheekbones, and his eyes sinking a little into the eye sockets. Time has only sculpted some on his cheeks, and has not changed the skin and bones. The known edges and corners are hidden more obscurely, making his outline softer and thicker.

Lu Dongqing stared at him blankly, saw his eyelids drooped a little more, showing a tired look, and said, "Master, are you tired, I'm going to cook dinner now."

Lu Zhengqiu turned his head back, but didn't reply, just stared at the opposite apprentice, seeing Dongqing's whole body trembling: "What's wrong?"

He replied: "I was thinking, why are you so much older than that kid at a similar age?"

Lu Dongqing looked at him without knowing.

Lu Zhengqiu said again: "What I mean is, you don't have to keep your temper down all the time, you should make more young people as friends, and learn how to act like a baby."

Lu Dongqing: "...I don't think so."

"Why don't you need it? I think we'll start learning today, come over and let Master touch your head."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, intending to put it on the apprentice's head.
