Copper Coins

Xuan Min's half-opened eyes almost merged with the darkness of the room, making it hard to see where his eyes fell, whether it was entangled in Xue Xian's equally confused eyes, the tip of his sweaty nose, or something else. Here are some...

There seems to be a thick and invisible barrier around the two of them, and all noises from other places are blocked outside the barrier, distant and vague, only a heavy and obsessive snort... fills up the surroundings, giving people An illusion of panic, as if the whole room has become cramped and cramped, making it impossible to move or move.

Xuan Min's wrist that was being pressed by Xue Xian suddenly moved, and he grabbed Xue Xian's fingers with his backhand, turned over forcefully, and pressed Xue Xian's hand tightly.I don't know if it was because of his body's reaction that he couldn't control the strength in his hand, and he held Xue Xian's hand extremely tightly.

At this time, Xue Xian realized that Xuan Min's body was wet with sweat, whether it was his neck, shoulders, arms or palms. When he turned his wrist and bent his joints, his fingers were wet It was wet and slid into Xue Xian's fingers. When he clenched it tightly, the skin between the fingers could not avoid rubbing against each other... The illusion of intimacy was even heavier, and it could even be called intimacy.

Xuan Min closed his eyes and half opened them as if he was half awake, a drop of hot and humid sweat dripped down from his chin or somewhere, just happened to land on the tip of Xue Xian's chin, and then slid down his neck all the way, soaking into it. Under the breast placket.

Xue Xian's breath suddenly became heavy, and his mind suddenly became excited.

In the streets and alleys outside the backyard, a cat somewhere woke up and let out a long meow, which was very clear in the night, as if it was squatting beside the bed.

Xuan Min seemed to be completely awakened by the meowing, he suddenly withdrew his fingers and closed his eyes again.

Xue Xian's eyelids twitched, and the fingers he was pinching shrank subconsciously, and he sat up straight all of a sudden.And when he was about to withdraw his hand and steer the chair back to one side, Xuan Min had already sat upright, his eyes were still closed, his expression remained unchanged, but the hand holding Xue Xian had already let go.

He closed his eyes for a long time and then opened them again, quietly looked at Xue Xian beside him, and said, "Sit farther away."

His tone was as calm as ever, but his voice was lower than usual, with a hint of hoarseness.

Although Xue Xian had stepped aside, the heartbeat and pulse that had been suppressed before seemed to have suddenly found an outlet, and he was beating wildly as if continuing his life, almost beating a drum against Xue Xian's ear.So much so that his ears were filled with the beating sound of "Xitu, Xitu", and he couldn't hear Xuan Min's low words at all.

"Huh?" He responded.

Emotions have not yet escaped from the intimacy of the previous illusion, so that his voice has a nasal sound, appearing docile and lazy.

Xuan Min was silent for a while, and finally said calmly: "It's nothing."

Xue Xian's pulse gradually returned to normal, and he breathed a sigh of relief, but the pinched knuckles of his right hand reminded him of everything just now.While loosening the muscles and bones of his right hand, he silently drove the two-wheeler to the table, with his back to Xuan Min, and suppressed the uncomfortable feeling by fiddling with the wick.

The wick was fiddled a few times, and the flame grew longer, and the whole room suddenly became much brighter.Xue Xian turned his chair around, and by the bright firelight, he saw Xuan Min's current appearance clearly——

The thin layer of monk robe on his body has been soaked with sweat, and the contours of the muscles of the shoulders and arms are half hidden... No matter how many different meanings these may evoke just now, it is true to look at it after calming down now. Not going anywhere comfortably.

Seeing his sweat-drenched body, and thinking of his unusual body temperature just now, Xue Xian thought for a rare moment, and asked, "I'll get you some water, can you wash it off?"

With Xuanmin's temperament that can't stand all kinds of dirt, it must be unbearable for this sweaty body.But Xue Xian only considered this point, but forgot about the other.For example, you always have to take off your clothes when cleaning, and for example, Xuan Min is not the only one in this room...

But after he asked this question, he thought of these, and immediately wanted to swallow the sentence just now.

Xuan Min sat in meditation by himself, and was silent for a while, opened his eyes and glanced at Xue Xian, then closed them lightly, and said, "No need, just sit a little further away."

Xue Xian said angrily: "...I'm trying to annoy you, and I'll leave the house if I go any further."

Xuan Min didn't open his eyes, and only after Xue Xian moved back to "the wall with sufficient spiritual energy", he said in a deep voice, "No."

This sentence has no beginning and no end, the ghost knows what he is answering with "no".

Xue Xian was sitting by the side of the bed, from his angle he could see Xuan Min's profile, which was mostly blocked by the bed curtain.However, this half-concealment happened to relieve the previous embarrassment and make people completely relaxed.

And the reason why I say it's embarrassing is because... for a moment earlier, Xue Xian could feel his body responding.Of course, he stopped that reaction in time, just ready to move, but...

I don't know if Xuan Min has the same situation.

He rested his elbows on the armrests of the two-wheeled vehicle at just the right height, supported his head loosely on his knuckles, and leaned lazily on the seat. Rubbing one after another, his eyes fell on the slightly shaking oil lamp for a while, and then fell on Xuan Min again.

Logically speaking, his sweaty body should be more obvious if there is a real reaction, but his extremely restrained and cold temperament makes it difficult for people to connect him with some worldly things.What's more, he was still sitting cross-legged in meditation, with the front of his monk's robe covering his knees, and he couldn't see any tricks.

But okay, why did it suddenly happen?

The night was too quiet, and the passage of time seemed extremely slow. Xue Xian thought about it boredly, and suddenly remembered the wound on Xuan Min's tiger's mouth that he had licked twice, and Jiang Shining's words that were interrupted by Xuan Min before he finished speaking.

Xue Xian: "..."

He understood why Jiang Shining told him not to use Dragon Saliva indiscriminately, but this reminder was really one step too late.

He laughed dryly in his heart, sat upright in silence, showing a serious look, so as not to look like the perpetrator.Then he stopped staring at Xuan Min who was cheated and pondered, but closed his eyes with a guilty conscience, and went to recuperate honestly with the copper coins.

This night's recuperation was really different from the past, maybe it was because of another keel bone, or maybe it was because two of Xuan Min's copper coins had been released from the restraint.

Before, he could only feel the faint soreness and heat in the place where the muscles and bones were lacking, and he could feel that the broken bone was very full, as if it was about to pull out.But now, the rushing heat in the blood and the keel that melted into the body suddenly had a clear direction. They gathered at the broken bone, like an extension of the broken bone, and a thread condensed from there.

The thread seemed to be alive, as Xue Xian concentrated his energy deeper and deeper, the thread was also slowly stretching bit by bit, but this process was extremely labor-intensive, and it only took one night , the thread in the broken bone had just been pulled out for a little while, but Xue Xian seemed to have spent half a month's effort.

When it was dawn and everyone in the Fang family left the house one after another, Xue Xian had already persuaded Jiang Shining, who didn't need to sleep, to find a restaurant to get some food.

"Ah Ning, Mr. Xue... what are you two doing?" Jiang Shijing washed up and was about to get some concoction for the three beggars with rashes, when she saw the two walking towards the back door, she stopped. took them.

"Go to Huihuiju." Jiang Shining still knew the famous restaurants in Qingping County, so he could barely show Xue Xian the way.

"Huihuiju?" Jiang Shijing asked strangely, "What are you going to do in Huihuiju so early in the morning? Mrs. Chen is already making preparations."

Jiang Shining waved his hand, "This ancestor is so picky, he doesn't care whether it's early or late, he only eats meat, and it has to be a big dish."

"At this time, even if we go to Huihuiju to order meat dishes, we have to wait for others to cook." If it weren't for Xue Xian and Xuan Min, the Fang family couple might still be wasting their lives in Wencun, and they don't know if they will live or die.Therefore, the whole Fang family was in awe and grateful to Xue Xian and Xuan Min, calling a simple "son" felt neglected, so how could Xue Xian be allowed to go hungry?

When she said this, Mrs. Chen happened to come out of the kitchen, and the two of them looked at each other, and Mrs. Chen slapped her hands, "I can make all the signatures of Huihuiju, Mrs. Chen. Just tell me what you want, Master Xue. I have enough hands and feet." Quick, keep it for a while and gather a table."

Jiang Shijing also nodded and said, "Ask Xingzi to do Mrs. Chen a favor later, you didn't bother to eat the food yesterday, can you not be hungry now?"

In other people's homes, Xue Xian naturally wouldn't sit on a big table so unscrupulously, so he said in a rare way: "Then it's time to work, just get some meat, as long as there is meat." Anyway, he doesn't eat grass.

but……

He looked left and right, and said to Jiang Shijing and Mrs. Chen, "Can you please prepare some hot water? That bald...Xuan Min sweated all over last night and needs to be washed."

"Sweat all over?" When Jiang Shijing and Jiang Shining heard this, they had a doctor's disease in their bones, and asked almost in unison: "Any other reactions? Headache? Are you feeling sick?"

another reaction...

Xue Xian said dryly: "No, with his bones, it's not likely that he was exposed to cold or heat, maybe he got distracted due to interruption of meditation."

Brother and sister of the Jiang family: "..." Obsession sounds more serious than a headache, ancestor!

But remembering that "there is always something wrong with being a master", the Jiang family siblings felt that it might really be inconvenient for them to ask more questions, so they listened to Xue Xian's words for the time being and asked people to prepare hot water first.

When Xue Xian thought about what happened last night, he still felt a little uncomfortable. If he could stay outside, he would not go back inside.So he wandered around with Jiang Shining, and then with Mrs. Chen, and finally was invited out of the kitchen by Mrs. Chen, and went back to the living room table silently waiting for the meal.

As soon as Jiang Shining saw the medicine, he couldn't stay idle, and went to prepare the medicine with his sister. Only Fang Cheng and Xue Xian were left in the living room looking at the account book.

Xue Xian pondered for a while, and then said to Fang Cheng, "I have a question."

Fang Cheng held the account book for a moment, and said hastily: "Don't dare to take it seriously, don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions, and you can talk endlessly if you know everything."

"Have you heard of Longxi?" Fang Cheng is not Jiang Shining, he didn't know that Xue Xian's real body was a dragon, Xue Xian didn't have to worry about face when he asked about it, "What effect does it have? If it is used on ordinary people, Is there any harm?"

"..." Fang Cheng glanced at him blankly, and said, "I've heard it, I've heard it, I've seen it, I've never seen it. The effect... it's all in the rumors."

"What do the rumors say?"

"Just... the girl met the dragon's saliva, and she became pregnant and gave birth to a child." Fang Cheng probably didn't know how to tell a story, so he finished the story dryly.

Xue Xian: "..."

It's a little too much fun.

Fang Cheng said again: "There are also some rumors in this world that someone in a certain place got it by chance, sold it for a sky-high price or used it as medicine. The other effects are mostly nourishing yin, strengthening yang, urging joy and joy, and it is said that it lasts for a long time, but it is only a rumor. If we can see each other once, we will die without regrets."

He is used to dealing with all kinds of medicinal materials, and he talks about these effects in a serious manner, so that people can't get any intimacy, but...

Although Xue Xian guessed the general idea last night, hearing someone say it now is a different feeling.

So much so that without saying a word, he went to the yard and grabbed Jiang Shining and said, "Let's discuss it. Let me change rooms with you tonight, shall I?"

Jiang Shining: "...No, living in the same room with the master, one night is enough for me to go to the underworld, and you agreed to stay for two more days so that I can accompany my sister to celebrate her birthday?"

Xue Xian said again: "That's fine, if you don't want to change, don't change, add me, anyway, I don't occupy the bed."

Jiang Shining laughed dryly: "Shitou Zhang Neng wet the bed because of your shock, do you think Twenty Seven will go crazy?"

Xue Xian: "..."

"Are you offending Master again?" Jiang Shining felt that he didn't get any money, and he had to worry about his mother's heart, which really cost his life.Oh, wrong, he has no life to break.

Xue Xian raised his hand expressionlessly and made a gap between his thumb and index finger, "I caused him a little trouble."

Jiang Shining said in his heart: Well, it must be a tricky and difficult problem, not just a little bit.

While the two were talking, the door of the back yard was pushed open, and two young men dressed as medicine men entered the yard with medicine baskets on their backs. They were stunned when they saw Jiang Shining, and rushed to bring the vegetable bowl from the kitchen Sister-in-law Chen who came out said hello, "Sister-in-law Chen, good morning, what did you cook that tastes so delicious, but we are both starving to death. Where is the young master and madam?"

"Master and Madam are busy, go and put away the medicine basket, wash your hands and face, and have dinner later." Mrs. Chen responded.

"Hey—I was supposed to be able to come back last evening, but I ran into a horse team on land and cleared the road. It was only one night late." These two are the helpers of the Fang family. Mrs. Chen said.

"Cavalry? What cavalry?"

"The cavalry team of the government." Yao Lang's tone suddenly became mysterious when he mentioned this, "Didn't the epidemic in our county be reported? Entered the county seat. Can you guess who was sent?"

"Nuoyi?" Mrs. Chen was taken aback, "Could it be..."

Yaolang thumped his hands, "It is said that they are directly under the supervision of the National Teacher. There are too many official names, and I can't name them. Anyway, it is said that they usually follow the National Teacher. It is probably a rare person who has seen the appearance of the National Teacher. Bar."
