[Ancient Sword II] Morning Light Shadow

Cangming's illness was earlier than that of Shen Ye's brothers and sisters.Although the ills caused by the previous turbid air infection cannot be cured, the speed of deterioration varies according to the individual's constitution.Cangming and her father's lineage can be said to be the line closest to the gods among the people of Lieshan tribe. With the support of physique stronger than ordinary people, and the city lord's mansion and the temple spare no effort to treat her, her condition is milder than that of Shen Ye brothers and sisters Some.

It was precisely because Cang Ming's symptoms were relatively mild that the old city lord chose to wait and see for a while when Shen Xi recovered from his illness and something was wrong.Seeing that Shen Xi had no other problems, and that Shen Ye was recovering well, she made up her mind to send the only daughter to Jumu to be burned by the divine blood.

On the eve of the start of the treatment, the visit of the Shen brothers and sisters, in a sense, actually gave Cang Ming a little more confidence.

In the impression of Shen Xi when she was young, Cang Ming was always in high spirits and full of vitality, instead of sick and pale like now...

That Sister Cangming who smiled brightly and hugged her high, was completely different from the seriously ill girl who was so fragile that she seemed to be taken away by the wind at any moment.

Although he has been trained as the next high priest for some time, Shen Ye's current city mansion is obviously not ready yet. He obviously has a lot of preoccupations, so he insists on smiling and chatting with Cangming, which makes Shen Xi All anxious for him.

As the only two people who have been cured by the divine blood treatment, even if there are no obvious signs, Shen Ye brothers and sisters still have some vague feelings in their subconscious minds. The aftermath of the divine blood burning has not yet fully manifested.However, the old city lord allowed the two children to come to visit, not to let them speak discouraged words.

Brother idiot, you have revealed your secrets...

Shen Xi hid her face silently, and then remembered the gift she brought to visit the sick. The candied fruit that Yun Yu made a few days ago was a snack made of dried and honeydewed berries called Bizhizi.

"Xiaoxi is really sensible~" As he spoke, Cangming opened the package of dried lotus leaves, picked up a candied fruit and put it in his mouth, "I've been drinking medicine these days until my tongue is almost numb, and I don't even want to put some honey Let... Ah Ye, you can learn more from Xiaoxi, and come to visit with empty hands, aren't you afraid that I will kick you out?"

Shen Ye twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's not too late for you to kick me out now..."

The worst situation has been reached, and no matter what happens next, it will not be worse than it is now... This is something that all three of them know very well.

With such considerations in mind, the old city lord and the high priest finally gave up the idea of ​​continuing to wait and see the Shen Ye brothers and sisters for a while, and decided to take another risk.

Everyone tacitly chose to forget the deeper problems that the burning of the blood may cause.

Such thoughts continued until the end of Cang Ming's treatment.Cangming's illness has indeed disappeared, but his body has merged with Jumu...

"In this situation, at least it is better than dying of a serious illness."

Looking at the solemn father and the high priest, Cang Ming said with a smile.

After learning about Cang Ming, Shen Ye was silent for a long time alone.Even Shen Xi and Hua Yue, who were closest to him, did not tell what was in his heart.However, from that day on, facing his father's lectures, he was no longer as passive as before. At the same time, he also began to take the initiative to contact some daily work of the temple as a low-level priest.

Shen Ye worked hard hard, and the time spent with Shen Xi was naturally greatly reduced. No matter how Hua Yue, who played with Shen Xi instead of Shen Ye, persuaded and comforted her, the little girl still showed a bit of embarrassment on her face.

With resentment towards her elder brother, Shen Xi dreamed that she washed her elder brother, hammered it loose, marinated it with curry powder, then wrapped it in spring roll wrappers, threw it in hot chili oil, fried it, put it on a plate and dipped it in vinegar... After waking up, She directly attributed this dream to the fact that she was so hungry that she hadn't eaten for a long time.

It took several days for Shen Xi to find out that on the night she was dreaming, the divine blood in Shen Ye's body boiled, and the burning pain tormented him for a whole night.

Before Lenovo Cangming received the divine blood treatment, he and his elder brother felt that things might not be going well. Shen Xi thought, maybe this was the subconscious influence of the divine blood power in each of them?

——At least to prove that I am not really hungry and thirsty enough to eat my brother's chopsticks.

Compared with her own symptoms, Shen Ye is more worried about whether Shen Xi will also suffer from the burning of the blood. After all, her sister can't speak now, no matter how painful it is, as long as there is no one around, she can't seek medical treatment...

Thinking of the possibility of Shen Xi enduring the pain silently when she was not around, Shen Ye's eyebrows were involuntarily drawn together.

I don't have any discomfort recently, brother, don't worry... Speaking of which, next time you have an attack, if you keep hiding it, I will ignore you!

Compared with when he recovered from his illness, Shen Xi now writes much more fluently, with almost no typos, but the reason behind the improvement in writing...

Thinking of the current situation of himself, Shen Xi and Cang Ming, Shen Ye's heart became more and more heavy.

Seeing a little hesitation on Shen Ye's face, Shen Xi tentatively grabbed his arm, shook it lightly, and motioned him to look at the writing board.

Brother, let's go for a walk together?

This month's festival has just ended, and Shen Ye is not responsible for many things, so there is still some time to relax with his sister.

"Where does Xiaoxi want to go? Let's talk about it first, I can't take you to scribble on the outer wall of the temple now."

When Shen Xi had just learned to walk and was able to roll and crawl behind her brother with her short legs, she looked very arrogant and didn't play with other children, but in fact she was a bit shy and unwilling to talk, Shen Ye, who had the demeanor of a leading lady. Cang Ming, who would come up with bad ideas and make mischief by the way, let Shen Ye take the blame; For Huayue who always became an accomplice inexplicably, the four bear children have almost become the negative teaching materials that all parents in Liuyue City will list when they discipline their children.

——One of the most sensational things they did was to bring a few buckets of realgar graphite cinnabar, and painted a bunch of abstract graffiti on the outer wall of the temple.

Shen Xi has reasons to believe that even if she didn't think of her previous life at that time, she still had a tribute to Naruto Uzumaki in her bones.

Just walking casually. After I recovered from my illness, I never went out except for the time I visited Sister Cangming...

While writing, Shen Xi thought for a while, and added another sentence at the end.

Let's go to a place where there are few people, and sneak out without telling Daddy~

Shen Ye twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that he would know everything we are talking about in a quarter of an hour, and you still want to sneak out without telling him?

Thinking about it, he naturally wouldn't dampen Shen Xi's interest, and he didn't call Yun Yu, so he helped Shen Xi braid her hair, and then was rushed outside by her sister who wanted to change clothes.

After straightening out the circle of fluff around her neck, and pestering Shen Ye to give herself a warm air technique that can block the cold, Shen Xi was content to climb up the wall on her brother's shoulders, and waited for Shen Ye to fall outside the wall. , and then jumped down and was caught firmly by him.

"Xiaoxi hasn't grown any flesh recently..."

Hearing Shen Ye's half-serious and half-joking teasing, Shen Xi raised her paw and rubbed Tuzki's face for herself.

Liuyue City is generally divided into three parts. In addition to the main city located on the trunk of Jumu, there are two smaller subordinate cities in the lower part where the roots of Jumu are located. The three are connected by a teleportation circle.Most of the residents in the city live in the main city, the southern city is the agricultural area, and the northern city is the mining area.In Shen Xi's words, the primary industry and the secondary industry go hand in hand.

The purpose of Liuyue City's original construction was to provide the gods with a place to refine the five-color stones needed to mend the sky. It did not emphasize the residential function, and the scope was very limited.After the collapse of the Tianzhu, the people from the Lieshan tribe who assisted in refining the five-colored stones were allowed to stay in Liuyue City to avoid the turbidity that surged and spread on the ground.Since then, temples and various buildings for the daily life of the people have gradually been built in Liuyue City.

From the initial settlement in Liuyue City to the sudden sharp drop in population due to the upwelling of turbid air more than a hundred years ago, one can calculate one or two by counting the vacant and abandoned houses on the outskirts of the main city...

Shen Xi tugged at the corner of Shen Ye's clothes a little uneasily.

Sensing the change in her sister's mood, Shen Ye shook her head, relaxed her tense body at some point, and stroked Shen Xi's ponytail comfortingly.

"Brother just... thought of something, Xiao Xi doesn't need to worry."
