Painter

The visitor was dressed in a snow-blue cloud shirt with a graceful figure.Oval face, remote mountain eyebrows, and a pair of eyes that are full of love.Squeezing her delicate voice, she said with a smile, "The doctor is here. Can you afford the consultation fee?"

Yuan Li turned around in surprise, although he didn't recognize the face, but he had heard the voice before - it was the woman who sold flowers at the Qiqiao Festival.

Jing Xi was already in a hurry, but when she saw that she was not talking about business, her cold face became even darker.Before he could attack, Tianshu led another man in.The man scolded first, and shouted: "Cai'er! Don't be rude!"

The girl in the snow-green dress was Cai Er, and when she heard what her brother said, she covered her face and let out a "giggle" laugh.Jingxi's complexion was even worse, and Yuanli was also full of embarrassment.The elder brother wanted to scold her again, Cai'er tilted her head and said, "Brother pays for the doctor's visit. I have to travel such a long distance, and I have to pay for the consultation."

Yuan Li was considerate of etiquette, and said in a soft voice as much as possible: "Young lady sees the patient first, the consultation fee will naturally not be less."

Cai'er pursed her lips, and cast a sidelong glance at Yuan Li.The smiling face that was originally pretending to be serious, softened when he met Yuanli's eyes, and his cheeks were a little more pink: "Look at you, you are so vulgar!"

Jingxi turned to talk to her elder brother, putting Caier aside: "Doctor Zheng, please trouble me."

"where--"

Dr. Zheng didn't say a word, Tianshu approached out of good things, and picked up the previous topic again: "Miss Cai'er, tell me, what consultation fee do you want?"

Seeing that Jingxi's face was already quite dark, Cai'er accepted it as soon as she was good.Glancing at Yuanli with half-closed eyes, Caier squeezed the blindfold she got earlier and shook it in her hands, as if to show off.When Yuan Li was extremely embarrassed, she grabbed the blindfold, put it in her bosom and put it close to her body.

"Consultation fee... this is enough."

The meaning of molesting is very obvious.Tian Shu stared at Yuan Li with wide eyes, questioning "what did you do behind the scenes".

Yuan Li was not only embarrassed, but his face became hot, he turned around to find another blindfold, fastened it on, and hid out.

Cai'er stared at his back and smiled coquettishly, and immediately asked her elder brother to ask a doctor.

Bai Qian's face was bloodless, his lips were blue and white, and he looked a little creepy.Doctor Zheng called his pulse for a long time, then untied the gauze wrapped around his body, and carefully applied the ointment he made himself.In the midst of tossing and turning, Bai Qian woke up once, only rolled his eyeballs, and then passed out again.

Jingxi's heart was all clenched together, wishing she could rush up and shake Bai Qian awake.Tianshu simply pulled him away to give the doctor enough room to display his skills.

This tossing took another long time.The small village began to be lively, but no one knew that there had been a bloody battle here, but it was just one night.

Dr. Zheng said that Bai Qian's flesh injury was nothing serious, it was just that his emotions were stagnant inside and his viscera and viscera were injured.Jingxi kept listening and didn't speak, Tianshu chewed the hay leaves and asked, "Why is he so depressed?"

Dr. Zheng frowned, Cai'er rolled her eyes, and replied: "I have to ask you, why did he get depressed. It is rumored that the painter Ning Baiqian has always been kind and stable. There must be a reason for this situation, right?"

Tian Shu curled his lips, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where did Ah Li go these days?"

Cai'er wasn't shy either, she just said "I'll go find him" and went out.

Dr. Zheng wanted to stop him, but it was useless to say a few words, Cai Er still smiled and touched her out.Doctor Zheng sighed, "This girl!"

Fearing that it would not be chaotic enough, Tian Shu fanned the flames from the sidelines, and the scene became lively and less solemn.It's just that Jingxi remained silent, just staring at Bai Qian on the bed, wondering what she was thinking.Tianshu saw it from the corner of his eye, and pretended not to know, just making trouble for himself.

It didn't take long to hear Yuan Li's usually gentle voice, but the ending was a little bit annoyed.Tianshu smiled secretly, seeing Yuanli walking in step by step, looking back three times, as if there was a beast chasing after him.Just as Tian Shu wanted to make fun of him, Cai Er chased him in with a smile.Doctor Zheng scolded angrily: "The patient rests, you go outside and make trouble!"

Cai'er stuck out her tongue, stood aside and looked at Yuanli with her eyes.Yuan Li wiped off his sweat and pretended not to see it.

Bitao Town is remote and remote, with scarce resources.Simply Bai Qian brought a lot of good medicine in his accompanying luggage, and he lasted for a while.Jingxi sent people to rush to the nearest town to buy medicinal materials, and they just caught them.

Tianshu was kicked by Jingxi to Guigu to do scene work, and the rest of them lived in Bitao town for a while.After Bai Qianyouyou woke up, she gradually recovered, but she always fell asleep for a lot of time, and when she was awake, she spent a lot of time in silence.

Completely changed a person.Everyone can see it clearly and understand it.

His lowest bottom line is not to kill anyone, but after breaking this line on the day of Qixi Festival, he seemed to give up on himself.In this small courtyard, he killed eight of Minglian's men with his own hands, completely breaking himself into pieces.

Maybe there are other things, Yuan Li was too entangled to think about it, but Jing Xi couldn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

But luckily the show had a happy ending.Si Qi presented Minglian's head, which made the emperor very happy, and rewarded him with awards on the spot.

Ming Lian was dead, and many heroes gathered in Guigu were dumbfounded.It's a waste of time to keep it, but it's not reconciled to just go back home immediately.Si Qi timely mentioned the "October Conference" that was not held in the previous year, and then looked at the calendar.The emperor immediately smiled and announced that the October conference of this year will be held ahead of schedule, and the venue will be in Guigu.This made many heroes happy, and Si Qi was rewarded again.

When Jingxi received Tianshu's letter, she relayed it to Bai Qian verbatim.It was getting colder, Bai Qian sat on the bed in a daze with a thin quilt wrapped around him, Jingxi finished speaking, but he still didn't respond.

A few days later, he received another letter from Mu Yueguan, which was addressed to Bai Qian, and Jingxi handed it over to him.Bai Qian opened the seal silently, shook out the brocade cloth and glanced at it.

Jingxi watched him put down the letter and lay down slowly, as if he was going to sleep.Hesitantly moved over, Jingxi asked tentatively, "Tired?"

With injuries on his body and poor foundation, Bai Qian always gets tired easily.In addition, he doesn't exercise, let alone his energy, and he always has to lie down every few hours.

Bai Qian said "hmm", and Jing Xi asked hesitantly, "Mu Yueguan...what did you say?"

"See for yourself."

A simple and clear answer is Bai Qian's recent norm.It seemed that he became indifferent all of a sudden, and no matter who he was with, he lost his previous enthusiasm.

Jingxi picked up the letter and glanced at it, it was basically asking how Bai Qian was injured and when he would return to Fanxi.Mu Yueguan added a sentence at the end, "If you can move, I will pick you up with Qu Fengqing."

A very polite sentence, but it explains everything.

In fact, what Jingxi said was not wrong, no matter whether it was Mu Yueguan or Yuanli, and what's more, including herself, no one was really nice to Bai Qian.At the very least, it's not as good as what Bai Qian paid, and feedback back.It was too cruel for Jingxi to expose it so bluntly, Bai Qian didn't want to believe it, but it didn't mean he didn't know at all.

It is precisely because of understanding that there will be such a change.

Jing Xi put the letter back in its original place, covered Bai Qian with a quilt, and turned around to go out.

Dr. Zheng spent more than half a month with them here, and now that Bai Qian's injury had stabilized and started to improve, he took Cai'er to say goodbye.Cai'er has always been sticking to Yuan Li, and now that her brother said she wanted to go back, she didn't bother or feel sentimental, she just packed up her burden with a smile: "It's not that I'm going to die, I won't see you again. I'll go back first, and I can always catch up tomorrow." Meet again."

Even though Jingxi is a bit of a lump when it comes to emotions, seeing Caier's hearty smile can't help but move her heart.

Doctor Zheng explained some precautions in detail, and then he was about to leave.

Jingxi called Yuanli: "You send his brother and sister to Fanxi, and the salary and remuneration are also taken care of."

Yuan Li was dumbfounded, and wanted to refuse, but seeing Jing Xi's face, he knew there was no point.When Cai'er heard the news, she was surprised but she was very happy, she happily ran to find Jingxi, and left him a bottle of good wound medicine as a reward.

The three of them also took a few guards with them when they left, so there were only a few people left in the yard.When Yuan Li was not around, Jing Xi had to handle everything by herself and waited on Bai Qian.

This day Jing Xi decoction brought in the medicine, Bai Qian propped himself up and tried to sit up.Jingxi hurriedly put down the medicine bowl to help him: "What's the matter?"

Bai Qian remained silent, adjusted his sitting posture and stopped talking.

The temperature of the medicine was just right, Jing Xi gave it to him, but Bai Qian didn't drink it after taking it, he just held it in the palm of his hand.Jingxi couldn't help asking again: "What's wrong?"

Bai Qian shook his head, gulped down the medicine.Jingxi took the empty bowl and was about to send it out when she heard Bai Qian speak.

"October Conference starts in one or two days, you go."

Jingxi froze, and when she turned around, she was slightly angry: "What do you mean? Drive me away?"

"Yes." Bai Qian nodded, not wanting to say more.

Bai Qian's voice was obviously weak, and if Jing Xi were to go at this time, he would definitely not be able to take care of himself.Jingxi didn't understand why he pushed himself into a desperate situation and didn't give others a way.Jingxi held her breath in her heart, but she forcibly endured her expressionless eyes before Bai, and asked patiently, "Why are you chasing me?"

Bai Qian said frankly: "You and I have nothing to do with each other in the first place, this period of time can be regarded as repaying those things before, that's enough."

"Become a passer-by from now on?" Jingxi choked out such a sentence almost word for word.He wanted to take Bai Qian by his side, to protect him carefully, and to make him happy.But in the end it was just this sentence.

Bai Qian turned to look into Jing Xi's eyes, nodded for a long time, "If you must understand this way, yes."

silence.

Jingxi thought for a long time, and asked, "You don't want to delay me, you want me to participate in the competition, right?"

Bai Qian was still frank, nodded: "Yes. You don't need it, for me."

Jingxi frowned, but did not hesitate: "I like you."

Bai Qian didn't speak, nor looked at him.

Jingxi begged a little: "You still don't believe me?"

"It's not you." Bai Qian looked up, with a desolate expression, "I can't believe it since I looked up, you all like me."

Something in his body was roaring, roaring, wanting to take this person in front of him as his own.Jing Xi knew that her sanity was disappearing bit by bit, and she was completely swallowed up by the pale face in front of her.

Jingxi asked, "What don't you like about me?"

Bai Qian shook his head: "I don't dislike you."

But Jingxi said to herself: "I am stubborn, self-centered, and I don't listen to others' persuasion."

Bai Qian breathed a little tiredly: "No."

"I see you as weak and always want to be above you."

Bai Qian called out his name: "Jingxi!"

"I didn't put you in an equal position."

Bai Qian simply stopped talking, and after Jingxi finished speaking, she was silent for a long time.Bai Qian thought that he would continue, but after waiting for a long time without further words, when he went to see him, he met those eyes.

As deep as a secluded pool, but as rough as the sea.

Jingxi looked at Bai Qian, and slowly said, "Okay. Let's part from here. What about you, are you going back to Fanxi?"

With a compromise, but not reconciled.There is relief after struggling, but not free and easy.It's really like an old friend who is about to say goodbye, asking reluctantly, where are you going.
