[Baiyutang] Wind-dried clothes

When Bai Yutang woke up, he first saw the gauze curtain above his head, and his breath was filled with the smell of red dates and chicken soup, and he probably returned to the foot of the mountain alive.When he moved his body, he felt severe pain in his right arm, which made him break out in a cold sweat.The intact left hand crossed the body and touched it. The tentacles were covered with bandages, wrapped in layers, and the bleeding had stopped.

Recalling the dangerous situation in the tower, he couldn't remember it after he left the tower, but he seemed to hear wolves howling when he was in a coma—he didn't know what happened to Lu Caichun now.

He opened his mouth to call Lu Caishu, but felt that his throat seemed to be scorched by smoke, and it was difficult to make a sound. After coughing twice, he heard footsteps coming.He wanted to stand up, but found that he couldn't exert all his strength.

"Lang Jun woke up?" The voice sounded familiar, but it wasn't Lu Caishu.

Turning his face to see that it was the neighbor's widower Uncle, Bai Yutang hurriedly asked, his voice hoarse: "Dare to ask Uncle, where is my sixth sister now?"

"I was making chicken soup for the gentleman in the cooking room—the girl really felt sorry for her brother, and she herself was seriously injured. When she got up, she only looked at the gentleman and came to the room. Seeing that the gentleman was fine, she asked the old man to go to the four quarters again. The neighbor bought dried jujube brown sugar and slaughtered a live chicken to make up for Mr. Lang..."

Before the neighbor finished speaking, Bai Yutang asked urgently, "Is she injured? What kind of injury did she suffer?"

The neighbor said: "Compared to Mr. Lang, she is not seriously injured, but the wound on her hand... Tsk tsk, the doctor looked at it and said it was shocking. In addition, there were a few cuts on the face for some reason. In shallow water, it won't take long before heals up."

When Bai Yutang heard this, he felt worried, and said to his neighbor, "Please trouble Uncle to help me up."

The neighbor dared to come forward to help him according to his words.Wrapped in a coat and a fur cloak, he stepped into his shoes, and within a few steps, Bai Yutang felt his legs and feet go limp, looked forward and staggered, felt buzzing in his head, and stars flashed before his eyes.The neighbor hurriedly hugged him tightly, saying: "Your Majesty has something to do, just call the old man to tell the girl, why bother to get out of bed. The doctor said that you are bleeding too much..."

Bai Yutang said: "I want to go and see her, so I can feel at ease."

The neighbor stopped talking and walked with Bai Yutang all the way to the kitchen.Pushing open the door and entering, I saw Lu Caichun sitting on a low stool, staring at the firewood in the stove.The fire in the stove made her face look warm.She also wrapped several layers of gauze on the hand holding the tongs, and there was a scratch on her forehead. Bai Yutang remembered that when he knocked her away, she hit her head on the gray brick, and that's how she scratched the wound.

Hearing that someone was coming, Lu Caichun thought it was a neighbor, and said: "Uncle, help me take off the lid of the pot and see what color the soup has become."

"Okay, let's go and see. Sir, rest first." The neighbor helped Bai Yutang to sit on the side, and ran forward to lift the lid of the pot.

Hearing that there was another person in the room, when Lu Caichun turned his head, he saw Bai Yutang.She was stunned for a moment, without warning, tears came down.Without the reflection of the fire, her pale face and dark purple lips showed their original color: "Fifth Brother...you...how do you..."

While speaking incoherently, Lu Caichun wiped the tears on his face with the back of his hand.

"Come." With his right arm still hanging down, Bai Yutang looked at her and waved his left hand.

Lu Caichun wiped away tears from left and right, seeing this, she sobbed: "What are you doing?"

Bai Yutang said: "You are standing too far away, I can't move much now, I can't go up to hug you."

Lu Caichun smiled through tears, walked forward quickly, carefully avoiding his right arm, leaned over and hugged his neck tightly, leaning against his cold long hair scattered on his shoulders, crying and laughing at the same time.

While sniffing the fragrant chicken soup in the pot, the neighbor next to him thought to himself: This brother and sister have such a good relationship.

Bai Yutang stroked her back lightly, and said, "You're not seriously hurt, just rest well and don't worry about me."

Lu Caichun just choked up and didn't answer.

At this moment, the neighbor asked: "Miss, look at the chicken soup in this pot—is it stewed?"

Only then did Lu Caichun realize that his neighbor uncle was still nearby, so he quickly let go of Bai Yutang, coughed lightly, stepped forward quickly, and looked into the pot: "Oh, just right. I'm inconvenient with both hands, can I help you?" Trouble Uncle, put the soup into a bowl for me?"

The three sat around the table, and there was a brazier next to the table. The charcoal fire was burning vigorously, making the whole room warm.Lu Caichun cooked porridge with brown sugar and eggs, set out spoons, and put all three bowls on the table.

While cooking, Lu Caishu and his neighbors used chopsticks to tear the chicken into shreds, picked the bones, and sprinkled it in the soup.She was worried in her heart that Bai Yutang's right hand was injured and he couldn't use chopsticks. He was the strongest by nature, and he couldn't use the chopsticks with his left hand.

Bai Yutang's right hand was hanging under the table, and the left hand was holding the spoon. He scooped up the soup and porridge and ate them one by one. There was no abnormality on the surface, and Lu Caishu heaved a sigh of relief.

In the middle of the meal, the three of them started talking.Bai Yutang asked: "Sixth sister, did you encounter any danger when you went down the mountain?"

The neighbor said: "Then you don't meet wolves? There are a lot of wild wolves in the mountains. They howl every night and frighten me to death."

Lu Caichun said with a smile: "Unlucky, I did meet a wolf - but, my girl is agile, she didn't hurt the wolf at all, and even threw two dead wolves on the mountain. Uncle, if you want to cut two Wolf skins are used to make cloaks, or to be sold in the market in spring, so we have to pick a nearer date as soon as possible and go up the mountain to pick them up.”

The neighbor was amazed, looked Lu Caichun up and down, and said: "Miss has such abilities—but it's okay, the wolf was thrown on the mountain, and it was eaten by the mountain. It's good to pick it up and make a leather jacket."

Lu Caichun said: "The two of us may have to trouble Uncle to take care of it for a few days. I wonder what Uncle wants?"

The neighbor said: "You brothers and sisters, what do you want, what do you want the old man to help, just ask."

Bai Yutang said: "There is one more thing, I hope Uncle will answer."

The neighbor said: "Lang Jun said it directly."

Bai Yutang said: "You must not tell the story of the two of us being injured on the mountain. There are some weird things in this mountain. If you tell them, you may bring disaster to the two of us. It doesn't matter if we lose our lives. , I just hurt Uncle, after all, I feel very sorry."

The neighbors saw that they moved to the village suddenly, and their behavior and dress were different from those of the villagers, so they vaguely guessed that they were not ordinary people.Now that the other party said so, the neighbor hurriedly agreed.The three of them talked about other things very harmoniously.

After putting away the bowls and chopsticks, Bai Yutang and Lu Caichun bid farewell to the neighbors and went back to their own room.A fire was lit in the pot, and the two sat facing the fire.Lu Caichun asked: "Fifth brother, do you have any plans for the skyscraper on this mountain?"

Bai Yutang said: "There are so many traps in this building, even the soldiers in the Yuan Pavilion don't know the secrets. It must be hiding something very secret. I'm afraid we will have to go up the mountain to find a way to break this building .”

Lu Caichun couldn't bear to look at his almost immobile right arm, and asked cautiously: "This building is so dangerous, why don't I write a letter to my uncle - Danzhou is far away from Xiangyang, it's not like going to Bianliang He travels so fast, he will be here in less than half a month."

Bai Yutang shook his head and said: "Last night's breaking into the building has already alarmed the people in Yuanguan, I'm afraid they are already starting to divert things to other places, there is really no delay."

Lu Caichun refused to mention his injury, thought for a while, and could only ask, "Fifth brother, what do you think about breaking this skyscraper?"

Bai Yutang said: "The formation mechanism in this building seems to be set up according to the gossip. Since there are rules to follow, it is for people to leave. The first floor is the iron screen formation, the second floor is the bow and arrow formation, and the third floor is the gate of life and death. If you walk right, the trap will not be triggered, obviously even someone who knows the trap in the building can walk down safely even without the strength to restrain a chicken."

Lu Caichun nodded: "That's reasonable. However, there are five floors in this building. As I walked up, I felt that one floor was more difficult than the other. Then there are soldiers guarding behind the Yuan Pavilion... This is really..."

Bai Yutang said: "I also know that Sixth Sister is worried, but if I don't break this skyscraper, I will never let go of my hatred. According to my current situation, I will be able to go up the mountain again after seven days." He moved his left hand around and gently Hold the right arm that is barely exerting strength.

When Lu Caichun saw this, her eyebrows gradually raised, she looked at Bai Yutang and nodded, "According to Fifth Brother, I will go to the Sky Tower in seven days."

In the following five days, the bandages on the two of them gradually came off. Although the wound hadn't healed, it wasn't as obstructive as it was before.

Bai Yutang studied how to wield the saber with his left hand, although it was difficult to achieve success in just five days, but at least he had the accuracy and strength.Although my right arm often hurts, I can bear it by gritting my teeth.Lu Caichun's palm was the most severely injured, and he couldn't grasp it for a while, but he could still handle it with bandages.

At night, the two of them had a long talk in front of the snow. Lu Caishu tried to tear off the bandage around his palm, but although the scab had almost grown, it was still difficult to tear it off.After baking in the fire for a long time, she felt that the wound was hot and itchy, as if ten thousand ants were biting her. It was so itchy that she wished to rub her palms against the rough stones, fearing that she would accidentally get hurt again.

Bai Yutang saw that she was picking at the cotton thread on the bandage with her head lowered, looking like she wanted to tear it off with the skin, so he couldn't help reminding her: "Be patient, when the time comes, it will bleed and it will be difficult to deal with it."

Lu Caichun sighed straight away, and said: "I don't know what the palm of the hand will look like after the gauze is torn off. I have seen the badly injured one before, and a piece of the face was cut off. When I was old, the face There are no wrinkles. Tell me, will the palm of my hand lose all the palm lines—then how can the fortune teller touch my hand to see my face?"

Bai Yutang first laughed at her worrying for a while, and then thought of his injury.He moved his right arm lightly. Due to the serious injury, his right hand can hardly even hold a thin porcelain bowl.He looked at his almost useless right arm, but smiled, and said to Lu Caishu: "If I were in the past, I might even have thoughts of suicide now."

Lu Caichun never expected that he would share this with others, his heart was shocked, but he pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "I don't think Fifth Brother will seek death, but he will lie on the couch for three or five days, sighing, There should be."

Bai Yutang laughed and said, "Sixth sister should know that I have an elder brother who is a direct relative who died young."

Lu Caichun nodded.Bai Yutang's elder brother, Bai Jintang, was the one who had sworn brothers with the other four rats in the empty island, and later died of illness. This is why Bai Yutang took his elder brother's name.When talking about this matter at this moment, Lu Caichun didn't know what he meant.

Bai Yutang said: "When my elder brother was seriously ill, someone said that I should ask a certain divine doctor in Saibei, who might have the power to save my elder brother. As a brother, I was naturally the first to invite that divine doctor. When we arrived in Saibei Well, the doctor refused to meet anyone, so he only let his disciples pass on the message, and asked me to break some formation for him. I was so angry that I thought of breaking the formation, so I invited him back to Xingkong Island to treat my brother, and then He lived in the valley for a month, just to break the formation. The formation was only half broken, and a message came from the empty island, saying that my brother had passed away. I stood in that formation, do you know what I think?"

Lu Caichun said: "Fifth Brother, don't blame yourself. It's a journey of two to three months from Saibei on the sunken island. Maybe it's because Fifth Brother didn't break the formation and missed my elder brother's illness, but the road is too long. Just can't make it in time."

Bai Yutang shook his head slightly, and said: "Of course I am sad for my brother's death, but there is another thought in my mind—"

"I'm thinking, if I rush back to Xingkong Island immediately, and stay here for a while, and someone breaks it, what should I do?"

When Bai Yutang said this, he finally let out a sigh of relief and laughed at himself: "A young man has such a temperament, he must be strong and aggressive. Even when my second brother scolded me, he said that I would not live long like this."

Lu Caichun was speechless for a moment, her brows gradually furrowed, and she looked at Bai Yutang, feeling inexplicably sad.

After the snow cleared, the moonlight was shining and the sky was clear, Bai Yutang raised his right arm slightly, put it on his knee, and lowered his eyelashes.He turned his head, bent the corner of his mouth, and asked Lu Caichun, "You can be trusted, if I used to lose my right arm, I wouldn't be able to accept it as calmly as I am now."

He looked at Lu Caichun and said, "Thanks to you, Sixth Sister."

Lu Caichun was puzzled, Bai Yutang saw her slowly widen her eyes, and said with a smile: "I often think, if I feel that my arm is useless, and I am still the same as before, I just feel that the sky is falling, looking for life, maybe Sixth Sister will do the same." Look down on me."

Bai Yutang looked at her face.The scratch on the forehead has not healed, and there are still arrow scratches on the cheek, but the girl's bright eyes are clear and beautiful.He said: "What I think about is that I have to live up to Sixth Sister's hard work in rescuing me from the skyscraper, and to live up to the life you gave me."

Lu Caichun suppressed the soreness in her eyes, stretched out her hand, gently grasped Bai Yutang's right hand, raised it, and pressed it against her face, smiled lightly with drooping eyelashes, and looked up at him again: "My uncle often said, I was entrusted by the gods to my mother. I am a little Bodhisattva, who can cure all diseases and heal all injuries. If my uncle is injured, or cuts his palm, or hurts his arm, as long as he touches me, he will be healed immediately. It doesn't hurt anymore. Then I'll heal Fifth Brother's arm too. Fifth Brother's injury will heal tomorrow."

Bai Yutang couldn't help but laugh, and Lu Caichun also curled up his mouth and asked, "Fifth Brother, do you believe me? Sincerity is true."

Bai Yutang turned her face, Lu Caichun vaguely saw that he was smiling, so she let go of his hand and poked her head over, wanting to know his reaction, but unexpectedly he turned around, grabbed her wrist, and gently brought her over, He lowered his head and pecked her lips, and said with a smile, "I believe it."
