Qin Shi Mingyue: Depend on each other

Everyone in the world can do what they want.Although I also really want to see the outside world, but I can't leave the people in the village under the mountain.I am the only doctor here. "

Tiannan Desolate Ridge ([-])

"Ling admires such responsibility at such a young age." Although he learned this kind of polite words from TV, his admiration for this young doctor is sincere.

"Hey, I don't need to say these polite words." Yi Mu looked at me with a smile, that cute look made me really like it, "We've been chatting for so long, and I haven't asked your name yet."

"My surname is Ling and my name is Youzai. You can just call me Youzai." I introduced myself with a smile, and everything seemed very harmonious.

"Ling, You, here?" Yi Mu weighed something, "You are here? It's so confusing, can I call you Sister Ling?"

"Well, if you want... of course you can," I said.

Later, I talked to Yi Mu about the reason why I came to Tiannan Hailing, and I took advantage of the opportunity to ask Yi Mu how she rescued me from the dry forest.

When Yi Mu heard this, he didn't talk about the ghosts of the blue country like those people in the village: "Actually, there is nothing at all. Although the forest looks dry, it is still alive after all. Two days at noon After two hours, miasma will appear there."

Yi Mu naturally took my hand and led me out of the room filled with the fragrance of flowers.

When I got outside, I suddenly felt much cooler, and the mountain wind blew in my face, blowing my clothes wantonly.Looking at the past, Yi Mu's house is on the top of a mountain. I heard Yi Mu mention just now that this place is called "Nanwangya".

"Come here," Yi Mu smiled, and led me to a place in Nanwangya. She stretched out her index finger and pointed down, "Look there."

I looked in the direction she pointed, and through the slight thin clouds, where the cloud shadows were sparse, I could vaguely see a gray-white forest.

"When you were inside, did you feel tight in your chest and out of breath?" Yi Mu asked.

I nodded without hesitation: "Yes, how do you know?"

"It was caused by the miasma. Fortunately, you didn't go deeper, so I could find you in time." Yi Mu said, her eyes fell on the gray-white forest at the bottom of Nanwangya, "I was picking medicine there .”

"Where is it?" I looked in amazement at the forest that had shrunk to the size of a bowl.The villagers at the foot of the mountain said that there are "unclean things" in it, and Yi Mu collects medicine in such a place?I couldn't believe it: "I heard people say that someone went in there, but never came out again. Is this all fake?"

Yi Mu turned his head to look at me, and smiled: "It's true. But... I'm not human."

What? !My head buzzed, and I couldn't speak for a while.

No, not human?Then she is... goblin, ghost, undead? !

Seeing my horrified look, Yi Mu suddenly laughed, as if he couldn't suppress the feeling of wanting to laugh after holding back for a long time: "I lied to you~"

"..." I lost my mind, and it took me a long time to understand Xiao Yimu's words, "You child, you--" The anger that was just about to erupt, but after seeing Yi Mu's cute smiling face, I unconsciously suppressed it. He could only shake his head helplessly. "But if that's the case, what are the villagers talking about?"

Yi Mu shook his head, then looked at the dry forest under his feet: "Maybe they died from the miasma, maybe it was because of something else."

"Others? The undead of the blue country?" I continued to ask.

"I don't know about it. Although I sometimes collect herbs in the dry forest, I never go deep into it—after all, it would be bad if I got lost." Yi Mu smiled, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved. It is true, but she is clearly smiling, "Master once told his disciples that this 'forest' is about to die. Do you know? In fact, it is not a forest at all, it is just a tree. A single tree forms a forest, It's like the banyan tree that people know, but it has a longer lifespan than the banyan tree."

A single tree becomes a forest?I've read about this in books.The aerial roots that grow on the branches of banyan trees can reach down into the soil and form new trunks.The banyan tree can also extend infinitely in all directions.The pillar roots and real branches are intertwined, resembling a dense jungle, so it is called "a single tree forms a forest".

But... what is a toon?

As if understanding my question, Yi Mu looked at me, and then said: "There is a saying in Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou": "In ancient times, there was a big toon, and eight thousand years was the spring, and eight thousand years was the autumn". Its twig is not only the big tsubaki, but also the one in front of us."

Yi Mu smiled softly, even in winter, it made people feel a little warmer for no reason.Although she and Duanmu Rong came from the same school, they are completely different types of people.

I saw that the expression in Yi Mu's eyes suddenly changed a little, and he was a little mournful: "But, it is about to die. Before his death, Master Nian Duan looked at it for a long time and said: When she was young, she died Chun is already so rough and old, and now she is dying, but Lu Chun is still as she was decades ago. She can't really live, let alone die. She has been struggling on the edge of life and death for decades, or even longer. But she always has no relief...

The master said that maybe she was lucky in comparison, at least she didn't have to endure such a long life and death torment.Maybe Tsubaki can live for a long time, so it will take a long time to die. "When it comes to this, Yi Mu, a little child, sighed like an adult. I don't know if she has noticed such a small move.

Yi Mu's attention was still on the gray-white forest in the distance: "Even though it has a long, long lifespan, beyond the reach of us humans, it still cannot escape the fate of death. It is about to disappear... this forest."

I was about to comfort her, but the girl in front of me smiled again, as if nothing happened just now: "Sister Ling, it's getting dark soon. Let's go back."

Speaking of which, she has bounced back to the house, leaving me in a daze.

"By the way," Yi Mu seemed to think of something, and when he turned around, he smiled as if the darkness around him had disappeared, "At dusk, you can see the beautiful scenery of 'Cloud Sea and Red Clouds' here, sister Ling, don't miss it .”

"Oh, yes." I nodded numbly, watching Yi Mu bouncing back to the house, I haven't recovered for a long time.

What kind of a child is this.I turned around and looked down at Xiaochun below me.The off-white branches indicate that this long-lived ancient tree is on the verge of death.

I don't know what this child named Yi Mu went through.I don't know why she has such a sad expression when talking about the death of Tsubaki, and why she can laugh the next second.However, I think she must have experienced a lot of changes.Although she is young, she already has an unpredictable heart.

I have heard people say that it is terrible to be a person whose mental conception is beyond the generally accepted view of his age.Poor even.

In front of my eyes, there is a sea of ​​clouds.The gray and white forest appeared and disappeared from time to time.

How chaotic the world is, but looking from Nanwangya, there will always be only a sea of ​​white clouds, untouched by the hustle and bustle.

Tiannan Desolate Ridge ([-])

How chaotic the world is, but looking from Nanwangya, there will always be only a sea of ​​white clouds, untouched by the hustle and bustle.

Not long after, I gradually discovered that this piece of pure white clouds was coated with faint gold, and in the distance, the sun had already set.A large golden sun hangs in the distant sky, extremely dazzling.Too much light hurt my eyes, so I looked away from the extremely bright place and looked down at the stratus clouds below me. "Sea of ​​clouds and red clouds", this is what Yi Mu referred to as the superb view.

I stood on Nanwangya, and there was a wind blowing from nowhere, and the layer of clouds under me was rolling, and the dry forest was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred.Just like this chaotic world of ups and downs, people's hearts are unpredictable.

"Sister Ling, why don't you come in? You'll catch typhoid fever." Behind him, the immature voice came, and the voice was very clear against the wind.

I turned around and said with a smile, "Got it, let's go back now."

"Well, hurry up." After finishing speaking, Yi Mu bounced back to the cabin in Yading.I don't know why, but I always feel that that child is more difficult to understand than many ordinary adults.

I stroked the hairpin on my head, no matter what, I still have to go to the Sword Tomb some other day.Now I'm not with the Mo family, and I don't know what's going on with them now.But with Su Xing around, nothing should happen.

—Xianyang-Inn—

It was dusk, and the largest inn in Xianyang was already planning to close.Xiaoer has already closed the door of the inn and started to walk to the back room.At this time, there was a sharp knock on the door, even smashing the door: "Hey, the people inside come out!"

Xiaoer and the store manager couldn't help feeling startled.Even knocking on the door is so arrogant, it is probably not a serious person.The waiter of the shop lay on the carved door and shouted: "Guest officer, I'm sorry. The shop is closed. You're still tomorrow..."

"What are you talking about! Do you know who is the person outside the door?!" A thick and big man's voice immediately interrupted Xiao Er's words.

The store manager also got out of the account books he had been looking at, and he already had a faint feeling that the people outside the store were not someone to mess with.He murmured to himself: Two badly injured weirdos came to the store during the day today, for fear of causing trouble. It can be seen that the two men look fierce, and they can't be driven out;
