Cold and warm depend on each other

Linhuai city? ? ?

That place is one hundred and eight thousand miles away from Yeling City!

"I won't go!" Su Zhe refused decisively.

Xue Wanxiang bowed her head when she heard the words, she knew that it was a bit difficult for others, she met her by accident and rescued her from the tiger's mouth, she hadn't had time to repay her in case.

It was always embarrassing to hear her refuse without hesitation.

Su Zhe didn't wait for an answer, and turned his head to look at the people around him, but Xue Wanxiang didn't meet her gaze.

Su Zhe kicked a small stone away, intending to explain a few words, but seemed unable to explain.

The two of them walked silently on the tree-lined path, Xue Wanxiang was hungry and tired, her footsteps were vain.

Su Zhe saw it, pulled a vine, tied the long sword on his back, and walked with Xue Wanxiang by his arm.

As the sky gradually darkened, Su Zhe was a little anxious. If the tea shed was closed, it would be difficult for them to find a place to stay.

Her footsteps could not help but speed up, Xue Wanxiang tried to follow her footsteps, a thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead.Su Zhe saw it, and simply opened his hands to hug Xue Wanxiang.

Xue Wanxiang took a step back, avoiding her hand.

"It's getting dark, I'll carry you out, so as not to be trapped in this forest." Su Zhe only said that she was shy, thinking that she hadn't hugged her before, so he pulled her over by force, and joked: "You and I are both Girl, don't be wary of giving or receiving kisses."

Her arm touched Xue Wanxiang's back, before she could exert any force, Xue Wanxiang sighed in a low voice.Su Zhe paused, Xue Wanxiang pressed her shoulders, and Liu Mei frowned deeply, "The back hurts."

Su Zhe recalled the scratch marks on her skirt, presumably she was scratched by the rock just now when she barely moved out in the crevice of the mountain.

Thin skin and tender meat.Su Zhe came to a conclusion in his heart.

She sighed, untied the long sword, let Xue Wanxiang hold it in her hand, squatted down/body, and turned her back to Xue Wanxiang, her posture couldn't be more clear.

Xue Wanxiang blushed, knowing that this was not the time to be coy, she bit her lip and slowly fell on Su Zhe's not-so-generous back.

Su Zhe hugged her knees with his backhand, stood up neatly, and walked forward steadily step by step.

"Thank you." Xue Wanxiang said in a low voice, leaning against her neck.

Su Zhe agreed, and said with a low laugh: "You're welcome, just treat me to some meat."

"Do you like meat?"

"No, it's just that I've run out of gear. I haven't eaten meat for several days." She said, putting her palms under her legs and lifting her up.

"But I don't have money either." Xue Wanxiang put her hands around Su Zhe's neck, always paying attention to the sword in her hand, not to hurt others or herself. "Send me to Linhuai City. I'll treat you to meat and give you money back."

"Linhuai City is too far away. I still have things to do. Hurry into the city tomorrow, and I'll hire a car with you."

Xue Wanxiang also knew that Linhuai City was really far away, so she didn't get entangled any more, just smiled slightly: "Then you will be free in the future, come to Linhuai City to find me, I will treat you to eat meat, and I will give you money as well." Her voice was soft ’, it fell into her ear: “Thank you for saving me.”

Su Zhe listened comfortably, and walked briskly, and after another walk, the tea house raised high by the tea shed was already in sight.

The proprietress of the teahouse was naturally happy to see that Su Zhe not only came back with his beard and tail, but also brought a beautiful girl with him.She has set up a stall on this road for many years, so many people come and go, and occasionally encounter embarrassing things and ask for help, she is probably happy to make a good relationship.

Xue Wanxiang ate half a drawer of hot buns, and she became much more energetic.The owner of the tea shed discussed a few words and decided to take the two of them back to their home.

Sure enough, there is a village nearby, only two or three miles away from the tea shed.Xue Wanxiang walked slowly, and Su Zhe carried the sword on his back, helping her from time to time.

Passing a sheltered hill, the owner of the tea shed smiled and pointed to the front. Su Zhe and Xue Wanxiang looked up together, and saw a stream surrounded by fertile fields, with yellowish ears of grain and green vegetable beds in the criss-cross pattern. , and further away, there are more than ten families scattered high and low with white walls and black tiles.

The village is not big, and it was just at sunset, and the smoke from several cooking houses wafted a warm breath in the evening wind.

The owner of the tea shed and his wife invited the two girls to their small courtyard. There were three main rooms running along the front, with the kitchen and woodshed on the left and right sides.

The proprietress quickly packed up the food, put it hot on the table, and said with a smile that her daughter and her cousin went back to her grandmother's house together. If the two girls don't mind, they can live in her daughter's house.

Both of them said hello.Su Zhe took out a small ingot of broken silver from his purse and stuffed it into the proprietress's hand. The proprietress was not polite, she smiled and accepted it.

After dinner, Su Zhe went to the kitchen to boil two buckets of hot water, then asked the proprietress to borrow a bathtub, and when he returned to the room, he saw Xue Wanxiang laying on the table, probably falling asleep from exhaustion.

She closed the door and bolted it, put the tub next to the bed, looked around, there was no screen for a small house.

With the lights on in the room, Xue Wanxiang's breathing was a little heavy. She leaned over and saw her long eyelashes closed tightly, forming two small lupines under the dim bean lamp.

It's so beautiful when I'm asleep.Su Zhe thought, lifted the hot water and poured it into the bathtub, and cleaned himself up first.

"Xue Wanxiang."

Xue Wanxiang heard someone calling her, but she was too tired, she groaned and couldn't wake up.

"Xue Wanxiang... Wanxiang..."

The man patted her on the shoulder, and she could only vaguely open her eyes.

Su Zhe had already changed into clean clothes, and stood in front of her refreshed. Seeing her wake up, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'll boil hot water for you, wash it, and sleep more comfortably, okay?"

Xue Wanxiang rubbed her eyes and said "thank you".He sat up straight for a while, and after regaining consciousness, he stood up again and saw the big tub next to the bed.

She had a hazy look on her face, and Su Zhe stood under the lamp, watching her take off her coat and long skirt.

"Don't you avoid it for a while." She looked back at her, her pink lips were slightly pursed, and her haggard face was slightly red.

Su Zhe blinked, and with a sound of "Oh", he walked to the door in a few steps, thought for a while, then turned around, kicked off his soft shoes, and got on the bed.

There is only a layer of dark blue coarse cloth curtain between her and her.

The sound of ups and downs pierced the water, Su Zhe closed his eyes, and his hearing was particularly sensitive.

"I don't know if it sounds so good when I take a bath." Su Zhe thought to himself, feeling the light on the table flicker.

She opened her eyes, got up and went to bed, and closed the window tightly.

When she turned around, she deliberately didn't look at the side of the bed, she just lowered her gaze and sat down at the square table, pouring a cup of tea.

Xue Wanxiang washed very quickly because she was too sleepy, if she slowed down she might fall asleep in the tub.There was a set of clean middle clothes on the short table, which Su Zhe had just given her, and it was a little long on her body.

She rolled up her cuffs and walked out carrying the barrel.

Su Zhe stopped her, "Look at you, your eyes are dazed from sleepiness. Go and lie down." She said and took the bucket in her hand.

Xue Wanxiang still wanted to argue, but she was so sleepy that she had to honestly let go.

After a while, Su Zhe tidied up and came back as before, and saw Xue Wanxiang lying on his side on the bed, a half-old cotton quilt only covering his waist, with soft curves in the half-light and half-darkness.

She blew out the lamp, lay down on her back, pulled the quilt over her body, touched Xue Wanxiang's back with her raised hand, heard her snort halfway, and unconsciously shrank forward.

Su Zhe was a little baffled, and suddenly realized, he asked, "Your back still hurts? Is it where you hurt today?"

Xue Wanxiang replied in a daze, "Um...really..."

Su Zhe squinted his eyes in the dark for a moment, then asked again: "Can I show you?"

Xue Wanxiang hugged the quilt, unable to open her eyes from sleepiness, "It's fine. It will be fine in two days."

"But you can't take the car back to Linhuai City like this, right?" Su Zhe lifted a corner of the quilt and advised, "Let me show you. There are wound medicines in the bag."

Xue Wanxiang knew that what she said was reasonable, so she had no choice but to suppress her sleepiness and nod her head.

Su Zhe got up, lit the lamp and moved to the bedside, took the medicine from the bag, returned to the bed, and raised the bed curtain.

The moon-white coat was opened, Xue Wanxiang was lying down, the light shone on her face, and she frowned sleepily.

Su Zhe lifted her middle coat and slowly took it off, revealing her white and round shoulders a little bit, and the butterfly bone bent out in two beautiful arcs.

Su Zhe has never seen anyone's naked/exposed back. After staring at it for a moment, he just thinks that this back is really beautiful.How could such a crystal clear and beautiful back leave scars, she was really careless in the daytime, she should come forward.

The bright yellow flames swayed on the bed without wind, reflecting the scars on her back that were scraped by the rocks. Su Zhe took the semi-solidified ointment, picked out the size of a fingernail with his fingertips, and gently applied it on the scars. From the outside to the inside, from shallow to deep.

The coolness of the ointment suits the burning of the wound, and Su Zhe's fingertips slide gently over and over again, carefully and tirelessly, so appropriate that it makes people feel at ease.Xue Wanxiang felt very comfortable.She leaned against her face and let out a low snort.

Su Zhe looked down at her brows and eyes stretched out, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she smiled unconsciously.

"Su Zhe."

"Ok?"

"Thank you." Xue Wanxiang closed her eyes, her voice low and gentle.

Su Zhe smiled mischievously: "How many times a day do you have to thank me?"

Xue Wanxiang didn't answer, she had already fallen asleep under her comfort.

Su Zhe put the ointment on, closed his eyes and meditated. When he opened his eyes a week later, the ointment on Xue Wanxiang's back was completely dry. She covered her underclothes, turned her head and blew out the lamp.

The moonlight fell through the thin window paper, and the night frost fell on the ground. Su Zhe pulled the cotton quilt and covered each other lightly. Looking at the picturesque people around him, he suddenly remembered that he had heard from his master that when he was young, he had to meet a confidant, or Fighting wine for ten thousand, or talking at night while holding candles, even if we parted and never met again, looking back suddenly, I only feel that we have joined hands and sang songs as vividly as yesterday.

She and Xue Wanxiang must be such predestined people.

As soon as I saw it, it was the same.
