The three of them looked at each other, and Xu Dongqing murmured, "Why don't you, Ah Qiu... Mr. Qiu, you live in a room alone, and brother Xiao and I live in a room together. I have a little bit of medical skills, and I can take care of his injuries by the way."
Qiu Yutong thought about it, and felt that this seemed to be a good idea, so she nodded, and then looked at Lu Xiao: "Xiao'er, what do you think?"
Lu Xiao lowered his eyelashes silently, without saying a word.
Qiu Yutong slightly raised his eyebrows. He watched little Lu Xiao grow up, so he naturally knew the meaning of this expression—not happy.
He said clearly: "Yes, you don't like to be close to people. How about, I live in a room with Dongqing, and you live in a room alone? In case something happens, there is only one wall between you. Just call me."
After all, the little apprentice was a wounded one, so he had to take care of it, so it was fine for him and Xu Dongqing to make do with one night.
Lu Xiao suddenly raised his head and said sharply, "No!"
"What's the matter?" Qiu Yutong looked at him, a little confused. This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, what does this kid really want
At this time, "Boom!!" A muffled sound of spring thunder rolled slowly across the roof.
"Oh, that's how it is." Qiu Yutong said "oh" suddenly, Lu Xiao pursed his lips lightly, as if acquiescing, while Xu Dongqing looked at the two of them, still with a confused expression.
Looking at Lu Xiao's pale face after injury, Qiu Yutong couldn't help but soften a little, and said to Xu Dongqing, "Dongqing, you can live in a room alone, and Xiao'er and I will live together. He is afraid of hitting... cough, he I'm afraid I'll disturb you, I don't sleep well."
In front of outsiders, it is still necessary to save some face for the little apprentice. Lu Xiao is afraid of thunder, but he has never told anyone about it.
"Afraid of disturbing me? No, I'm a very heavy sleeper." Xu Dongqing turned to look at Lu Xiao, and assured him very sincerely, "Really, brother Xiao, don't worry, Mr. Qiu won't disturb me, I'm asleep It's like being dead."
Lu Xiao said lightly: "Just follow Master's arrangement."
"Oh, that's fine." Although Xu Dongqing was still a little puzzled, she didn't say anything more.
He thought for a while, and then took out Luo Wugou's universe bag: "Mr. Qiu, take this universe bag, medicine bottles and jade cards are all in it. Brother Xiao, he has to eat another bear bile tonight." Danshen pills, and the plaster on the wound should be changed once.”
Qiu Yutong nodded: "Well, I wrote it down."
…
The three of them made arrangements and entered the house separately.
The inn is located in a remote location, and the upper rooms are not very gorgeous, but they are still clean and tidy. There is hot tea on the table, and the large carved bed is hung with snow-white curtains. Lu Xiao sat down by the bed, pressed the wound lightly, and couldn't help frowning.
"After tossing for a day, the wound hurts again? Take a medicine first, and take it easy." Qiu Yutong took out a small medicine bottle from the Qiankun bag, poured out a bright red bear bile salvia pill, and poured another cup Bring the hot tea to Lu Xiao.
"Xiao'er, I've taken my medicine."
Lu Xiao looked down at the bright red elixir in his palm, with a slightly hesitant look on his face: "This Xiongdan Danshen pill is indeed effective for injuries, but there are only five in the bottle, and I already took one yesterday... Master, We are going to Blood Prison Valley this time, and we don’t know if there will be any accidents on the way, why don’t we keep this pill first, just in case.”
Qiu Yutong couldn't help but secretly rolled her eyes. This little apprentice is good in everything, but he has too many eyes and always thinks about planning for a rainy day. He patted the pill on Lu Xiao's palm with a "snap": "It's alright, alright, don't blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah."
Lu Xiao hesitated, but still refused to eat.
Qiu Yutong reluctantly persuaded him a few more words, but he still couldn't persuade him. This little apprentice is as stubborn as a donkey! He was a little impatient, but there was nothing good to do. Suddenly he had an idea, lowered his voice, and said slowly: "Are you going to eat or not? If you don't, I'll feed you like last time!"
"...Hey, feed me?" Lu Xiao was stunned, looking at the corners of his lips involuntarily, and the edges of his ears gradually turned red.
Looking at his embarrassed appearance, Qiu Yutong couldn't help but secretly amused, this kid has always been calm and reliable, but this shy look is rare, and the threat just now really worked.
He paused, put on a fierce look again, and stared at the other party tightly: "Huh? Do you want to eat it? If you don't eat it, I'll really feed you!"
Lu Xiao lowered his eyelashes in a panic, his eyes wandered around, and he almost didn't dare to look at him. After a while, he whispered: "I'll just eat it."
Sure enough, he no longer refused, and swallowed the pill as soon as he raised his head, without even drinking the tea.
"That's right." Qiu Yutong nodded in satisfaction. This kid Lu Xiao is really a stubborn donkey, he can't walk away, he is going backwards, he is such a big man, it is so troublesome to even take medicine, but luckily he knows how to deal with him, tsk.
While slandering the other party in her heart, Qiu Yutong was secretly proud, and took out the box of "Deer Antler Black Jade Paste" from the Qiankun bag: "Take off your clothes."
Lu Xiao was stunned: "Huh?"
Qiu Yutong sighed: "The teacher asked you to take off your clothes, it's time to change your dressing."
He was really puzzled, why did he feel that after being injured, this kid's reaction became dull? Could it be too much blood loss, brain ischemia
Lu Xiao stammered: "I, I can do it myself."
"..." Qiu Yutong looked at him speechlessly for a while, sighed, and persuaded almost earnestly, "Xiao'er, you have a penetrating sword wound. Although it didn't hurt the heart and lungs, it is still serious. And the chest is okay, How do you apply medicine to the wound on your back? Do you want to tear the wound? Besides, when you were unconscious before, I gave you medicine once... "
Lu Xiao wriggled his lips, as if he wanted to say something else. Qiu Yutong was already impatient, so he directly picked up the other party's clothes, and said in a deep voice, "Why are you hiding?! Tsk, you're twitchy, you don't look like a Big man! Hey, don't move around!"
Lu Xiao was scolded and could only sit stiffly on the bed. Qiu Yutong unceremoniously stripped off his upper body, unscrewed the small box, and dug out a large lump of plaster. The room was filled with the smell of medicine.
While applying the plaster to the wound on Lu Xiao's back, Qiu Yutong wanted to sarcastically say something, but suddenly touched something, and couldn't help but stop silently.
On Lu Xiao's broad back, apart from this hideous fresh sword wound, there are also many old, slightly whitish scars. Although most of the scars are now so pale that they can hardly be seen, but when touched lightly with fingertips, they still There is a special roughness to it.
Some of these scars are burns and whips, left by Lu Xiao's abuse by the Jiang family when he was a child... and some are cuts and arrow wounds on the battlefield... This arrow wound was left by Lu Xiao for defending him from arrows , although his cultivation was very advanced at that time, and he didn't need others to block the arrows for him at all. According to Lu Xiao, when he saw the feather arrows coming fiercely, he forgot everything in a daze, and rushed forward without thinking... What happened made Qiu Yutong angry, funny, and soft-hearted.
After Qiu Yutong finished applying the medicine, she couldn't help stroking those distant scars lightly, feeling a little lost in thought.
Lu Xiao suddenly opened his mouth, and the voice was almost unbearable: "Master, you... don't touch me."
Qiu Yutong came back to her senses and couldn't help but slapped the other person on the back: "Didn't I give you medicine for all these injuries when you were young? Why are you so shy?"
The muscles on Lu Xiao's back were tense, and he said with difficulty: "That was before."
Qiu Yutong saw that he was so stiff that he really couldn't be teased anymore, so she stood up helplessly and threw the medicine box to him: "Okay, anyway, the back is painted, you can paint the chest yourself. "
Lu Xiao silently picked up the medicine box on the quilt, pulled the quilt up to his waist, and then turned around to apply the medicine.
Seeing his secretive appearance, Qiu Yutong was really speechless, but she couldn't care about the injury, so she simply went out and came back with a basin of hot water.
Lu Xiao finally finished wiping the medicine, and stared blankly at the water basin in front of him: "Master, this is..."
"You are covered in mud and blood, you have to wipe it off a little bit." Seeing his hesitation, Qiu Yutong hurriedly said, "I know, I know, you are too precious to look around, so let me go Wait in the corridor outside the door, wipe it slowly by yourself."
Lu Xiao pursed his lips and said hesitantly: "It's just spring, there is no brazier in the corridor, it's quite cold."
This kid is really not a little troublesome... Qiu Yutong had no choice but to sit down next to Auta, closed his eyes and meditated: "This should be all right."
Lu Xiao gave a "hmm", and then there was a soft sound of water.
He scrubbed very slowly, and Qiu Yutong circulated the spiritual power in his body for several small weeks, and almost fell asleep when he heard Lu Xiao say: "It's done."
Qiu Yutong opened her eyes, and Lu Xiao had already changed into a clean snow-white underwear, her hair was loose, and she was sitting on the bed, looking at him with her lips pursed, her eyes were dark.
This kid is extremely calm and decisive in situations, sometimes very shy and introverted, but now he looks like a good baby, no different from when he was a child... This little apprentice's temperament is really complicated.
While muttering in her heart, Qiu Yutong walked over to help Lu Xiao fix the pillow, carefully helped him to lie down, and tucked the quilt for him by the way: "Go to sleep."
Lu Xiao lay obediently on the bed, looking at him quietly with dark eyes, and suddenly said softly: "Master, are you really not leaving?"
Qiu Yutong's heart was soft, and he stroked his hair lightly: "I'm not leaving."
The spring thunder rolled over the roof muffled, just like the rumbling thunder of the past, and the thin raindrops hit the windows with a soft "rustling" sound... This is the first spring rain this year.
In the soft sound of spring rain, the two looked at each other quietly for a while, Qiu Yutong sighed lowly, and said again: "I won't leave."
After a long time, Lu Xiao nodded lightly: "I believe in Master."
"Yeah. It's getting late, go to sleep." Qiu Yutong sat on the bedside, gently stroked his hair, and hummed a mountain song that used to lull Xiao Lu Xiao to sleep. Although he was a little tone deaf, But Lu Xiao's breathing gradually became even.
…
The next day, after the spring rain, the sky was blue.
The three of them went downstairs to have breakfast early in the morning. Qiu Yutong was eating hot steamed buns when he suddenly remembered something and looked up at the waiter: "Shopkeeper, where are the girls in green shirts from yesterday?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Master, it's too late for you to ask. Those girls, they woke up at five o'clock, and they paid their bills and left the shop long ago."
Qiu Yutong was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help being a little disappointed. He hadn't asked the way to Blood Prison Valley yet.
Lu Xiao frowned and said, "Which direction are they going?"
The shop waiter looked at Lu Xiao, smiled and said nothing.
Lu Xiao clearly put a small ingot of silver on the table, raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"
The waiter in the shop opened his eyebrows and said cracklingly: "Guest officer, it's like this. After the five girls settled the bill, they walked west along the road outside the door. I heard them chatting and said they were going to Taniguchi and The master is meeting. By the way, they didn't ride a horse or a car. If the three guest officers sincerely want to chase, they can go a little faster, or hire a carriage, and the younger ones can still catch up, hehe."
The three of them looked at each other, Lu Xiao nodded to Xiao Er, got up and paid the bill: "I see, let's pay the bill."
After paying the bill, Lu Xiao paid another five taels of silver and hired a carriage at the entrance of the inn. The three of them sat in the carriage and walked west along the avenue at the entrance of the inn.
After a cup of tea, the carriage left the town. Qiu Yutong lifted the curtains and looked out. On both sides of the road, there were endless green wheat fields, like a soft green carpet, spreading far away to the distant mountains of fresh water and ink. underfoot.
The fresh air of the field rushed head-on from the car window, and the three of them chatted about the Blood Prison Secret Realm and Sifang Power all the way, and their mood was much more relaxed than the previous two days.
The carriage was moving forward, and it was noon before we knew it. The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and the horse neighed a few times. No matter how much the groom whipped it, it was getting slower and slower.
"Guest officer, the horse is dying, let's rest!" the groom turned his head and shouted.
Xu Dongqing opened the curtains, built a shade above her eyes with her hands, squinted her eyes and said, "There is a big tree in front, Mr. Qiu, why don't we go and rest under the tree... Hey, there seems to be someone?"
Qiu Yutong looked intently: "It seems to be those girls from Qingxiaguan."
Lu Xiao pondered: "Go and have a look first."
As the carriage approached, under the huge yellow fruit tree, there were indeed the young girls from Qingxia Temple yesterday, sitting under the tree drinking water and resting. When they heard the sound of the wheels, they all raised their heads and looked over with surprise in their eyes.
Xu Dongqing jumped down first, and then Qiu Yutong helped Lu Xiao get off the carriage slowly.
Yuzhu said softly: "Hey, big sister, it's those three people from yesterday."
Eldest sister Yuxin saw who was coming, she immediately frowned and said, "Yuzhu, don't pay attention to them."
"Oh."
Qiu Yutong touched the fake beard on her upper lip in embarrassment, and smiled embarrassingly.
In order not to attract attention and reach the Blood Prison Valley without any risk, today the three of them are still dressed in the same gray clothes as yesterday. With two mustaches, although Qiu Yutong was extremely reluctant, but after all, the overall situation was the top priority, so he didn't resist.
Seeing the vigilant looks of the female nuns, the three of them couldn't say anything, so they sat down on the other side of the yellow fruit tree. Fortunately, the shade of the yellow fruit tree is quite wide, which can cover the harsh sun. The groom unloaded the horse and took it to the side to graze.
The three of them sat for a while, and there was a melodious sound of clappers coming from far in front: "Sell tofu nao~ Fresh tofu nao~ Freshly ground tofu nao~"
Qiu Yutong was so refreshed that even his eyes lit up.
Lu Xiao glanced at him and said, "Master, I'm a little hungry, why don't I ask a tofu brain to eat?"
Xu Dongqing licked his lips, seemed a little hungry, and looked at Qiu Yutong eagerly: "Mr. Qiu, otherwise..."
Qiu Yutong nodded reservedly: "Since you are hungry, then go ahead."
Lu Xiao slightly raised the corners of his lips, and waved to the old man selling tofu nao: "Three bowls of tofu nao!"
Yuxin, the elder sister of Qingxia Temple over there, also said, "We also want five bowls!"
The old man agreed, and carrying two large buckets of tofu nao, he walked over slowly tremblingly. He put the burden under the tree, wiped the fine sweat from his forehead, and apologized very courteously: "Several Guest officer, do you want the tofu nao to be sweet or salty?"
Qiu Yutong said decisively: "Sweet!"
Yuxin sternly said: "Salty!"
The two turned their heads slowly, their four sharp gazes met each other, and a strong smell of fire/powder filled the air.
