thirsty

The three of them stayed overnight at a family in a small town. It was not the best choice to stay here, but Bai Shen couldn't bear to let Lu Xun continue running.His current state, whether it is physically or mentally, may not be very good.

Sister Wu and Lao Yuan led a group of people from the deep sea and the dead leaf butterfly, and with Bai Hua and Gao Shan around, it shouldn't be a problem to handle the next task.Besides, since Bai Shen retired to the deep sea, this is not something he should participate in.

After washing up, Bai Shen and Lu Xun sat in the room, looking at each other silently.

"Sit on the bed," Bai Shen said softly, "Take off your clothes."

"Huh?" Lu Xun glanced at him, and asked hesitantly, "...here?"

"No," Bai smiled deeply, "I'll take a look at your wounds."

Lu Xun didn't continue to speak, nor did he move.

Bai Shen had no choice but to stay silent and waited silently, just like he used to treat every patient.

After a long time, Lu Xun lowered his head, stretched out his hand to unbutton his clothes, and said in a deep voice while unbuttoning, "Xiao Xiao...how is he?"

He has been holding back this question for a long time. He wanted to ask it from the first time he saw Bai Shen. He was afraid that he didn't know, but he was also afraid of what he knew.

He was very, very afraid of getting the answer he didn't want to hear.

On that day, he carefully looked at the injuries on Xiao Xiao's body, and he was sure that the injuries were indeed serious.In addition, there were only the two of them at the time, and when Dead Leaf Butterfly's people arrived, they must have missed the best time to rescue them.

What Lu Xun cares most about now is not his physical health, but he wants to know that Xiao Xiao is still alive, even if he becomes a fool whose intelligence is only equivalent to that of a three-year-old child, as long as he is still alive, it will be fine.

"It's not life-threatening," Bai Shen said, "Li Ke called me last night and said that he has been transferred to the general ward."

"I want to see him." Lu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, unbuttoned all the buttons, took off his shirt, and then pointed to Bai Shen's cell phone beside the pillow.His upper body was covered with scars, bloodstains and bruises everywhere, which made Bai Shen feel anxious for a while.

"I'll check it out for you, okay?" Bai Shen took the clothes he took off and put them on the bedside table.

Lu Xun didn't listen to him, and shook his head: "I want to see him, right now."

At this time, the two brothers should laugh at each other and scold Seth so much that he wants to see Lao Tzu Hades to relieve their resentment, and then make an appointment to go back to drink and have fun for three days and three nights.

Bai Shen was silent for a while before saying, "He...hasn't woken up yet."

The light in Lu Xun's eyes suddenly dimmed again.

Didn't wake up?It's been more than half a month, why haven't you woke up yet?Since he didn't wake up, why didn't he stay in the intensive care unit and was transferred to the general ward? ...

He tried his best to restrain himself from thinking about it any further, he was afraid that he would not be able to figure it out, and even more afraid that he would be able to figure it out.

"He's still in a coma," Bai Shen said, sitting closer to him, "he'll wake up soon, soon."

"How soon?" Lu Xun lowered his head disheartened, obviously on the verge of collapse, "Some are in a coma for three months, some are three years, 20 years, and some are lifetime..."

As he spoke, he inserted his hands into his hair, and then moved down to cover most of his face.

"Lu Xun," Bai Shen called him softly, calling him over and over again, as if teaching a child to do homework, "Look at me, look up, look at me."

Lu Xun froze for a moment, raised his head from the palm of his hand and looked into Bai Shen's quiet eyes, with tear stains all over his face.

"Don't be too pessimistic, everything will be fine." Bai Shen sat down next to him, stretched out his arms to wrap him in his arms, and pulled the quilt beside him to wrap him up.

"If you are sad, you can cry in front of me, my arms are ready for you at any time. But before shedding tears, think about whether things are not so bad," Bai Shen's palm gently patted his Back, he lowered his voice and whispered in his ear, "First of all, many things can be saved. Second, even if many things are in front of you and have reached the point where they are too unfortunate to be saved, you must know that I will be with you. You take it all together."

"I will always be by your side. Share everything with you," Bai Shen emphasized again, "Don't be sad, I'm here."

Bai Shen hopes that no matter what happens to him, as long as he thinks that there is someone who will always be by his side, his heart will be more comforted.

"We'll visit him after we return to China, okay? He might have woken up by then," Bai Shen said, opening the quilt to reveal Lu Xun's shocking body, "The most important thing now is me Going to check on you to see if there is any emergency that needs to be dealt with now."

Lu Xun nodded.

Bai Shen gently wiped off the water stains on his face with grapefruit, and then stroked his skin with his fingers.

It's too cold in winter. Although there is a fireplace in the room, it's still too cold without clothes.Lu Xun's skin was icy and cold, and Bai Shen touched it and wanted to rub it for him.

"Does it hurt here?" Bai Shen pressed a bruise on his back shoulder.

"These are flesh wounds, what the hell." Lu Xun glanced at him.

Bai Shen clicked his tongue and pressed hard on a bloodstain. Lu Xun immediately exclaimed and jumped to the head of the bed as if he had been kicked by a fart.

"Come here," Bai Shen sighed, "Even if there is no problem inside, you still need to take medicine outside."

Lu Xun moved his butt obediently and went back, turning his back to him and muttered in a low voice: "We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you say anything nasty?"

"Literati don't talk coquettishly." Bai Shen said calmly while opening the medicine box.

Lu Xun clicked his tongue in doubt.

"I wrote you a poem." Bai Shen touched his cold skin with his medicated fingers, "I took your Chinese level into consideration."

"I'm listening." Lu Xun said.

Bai Shen paused, and said softly while taking the medicine.

☆ ☆

Lu Xun didn't speak after listening, and was silent for a long time before he said, "If your poetry collection is full of poems like this, can you sell them?"

"No," Bai Shen replied honestly, "That's at the level of elementary school students."

"But I'm very touched," Lu Xun said, "Writing can arouse people's emotions, isn't it good writing?"

Bai smiled deeply: "That's right."

"Have you finished wiping?" Lu Xun asked.

"It's almost there," Bai Shen said, "Some places may need to be bandaged."

"Hug." Lu Xun said.

"No." Bai Shen compared his arms into an "X", "You are covered in medicine, so I don't want to touch you."

Lu Xun clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice, "I like to hug you to sleep at night, shit."

Bai sighed deeply, tied the bandage on him, pulled him into his arms, and scratched his hair as if he was stroking little Baijin.

"I'll give you a chance to sleep with me tonight, okay?" Lu Xun tugged at Bai Shen's shirt, "I'm afraid I'll wake up, you're a fake, I'm still in that small room , hug yourself."

"It's not fake," Bai Shen coaxed him softly, "I'm right here."

Lu Xun didn't respond, and buried his head on his neck, breathing in the soothing smell of the cloth.

Give me a whole hug so I don't get too down.

That night, as he said, Bai Shen hugged Lu Xun tightly and fell asleep. At this time, both of them needed such a solid feeling of being pressed against their chests.

But in fact, they didn't sleep well the whole night. The faint gunshots from the mountain and the roar of the river washing against the rocks made them restless.

"I don't care about human beings tonight," Bai Shen said suddenly in the middle of the night, "I only want you."

"Is it a love story?" Lu Xun asked softly, breathing hotly on Bai Shen's shoulder.

"It's Haizi's poem." Bai Shen said.

Lu Xun didn't speak, and Bai Shen was also silent.

Although Bai Shen always laughed at Lu Xun's poor Chinese, he somehow felt that Lu Xun actually knew everything.Just like this poem that was suddenly uttered out of nowhere, he may not understand it very well, but he has already experienced the emotion in it.

"Go behind the scenes in the future," Bai Shen said very frankly, "You need time to heal, as I said, everything will be fine, but the premise is that you have to spend time to make it better. Pains, gains. You learn Having studied the language for so many years, I should understand this truth better than I do.”

Lu Xun listened quietly, and asked him inexplicably, "In the future, will you tell me the stories of your past?"

"Huh?" Bai Shen was confused.

"The days when you were trained." Lu Xun said.

"Yes," Bai Shen replied, "Will you tell me what you have experienced?"

"Yes." Lu Xun said.

Bai Shen patted him on the back lightly, as if coaxing a child to sleep.

He suddenly remembered the face of Seth taking off the mask, the black and white photos he had accidentally seen more than ten years ago, and the victim Bai Hua mentioned.

Does Lu Xun need to know this?

Bai Shen held him tighter, leaned closer and lowered his head to kiss him, and closed his eyes in a trance amidst the disordered breathing.

No more, no need.His wounded fawn needed a period of peace and quiet to get through all the troubles.He didn't want to know the hurtful truth, and he hoped that Lu Xun would never know, even a little bit of clues, he didn't need to know.

He believes that his ability to deal with information for so many years can do this, and he can guarantee that Lu Xun will be blank about this matter.

"Bai Shen, will I be okay?" Lu Xun pressed his warm lips and asked in a low voice, looking up at him, "Will this world be okay?"

"Yes," Bai Shen opened his eyes, stared at him calmly, and patted his back lightly, "everything will be fine."
