Chapter 3 Three, clear spring flow stone
After taking the antidote again, Li Shubai's body was also recovering, and he could barely stand up, but his high fever did not subside.In such a wilderness, Huang Zixia could only wet a cloth towel and apply it to his forehead, there was no other way.
She tied the captive a little tighter, and searched for food and herbs nearby.After leaving the dense forest, she stood in the sun and looked at the nearby forest.
The mountains are green and the trees are vast.Birds fly across the sky, and clouds rise and fall like waves.
She looked at the mountain, and then observed the nearby hills. She became excited, turned around immediately, returned to Li Shubai's side, and said in a low voice, "Let's go."
Li Shubai opened his eyes to look at her, slightly surprised.
"It's close to Chengdu Mansion. It's a place I've been to. I know there's a place nearby that's better than sleeping in the open here." As she spoke, she patted Bi E's head.
Di E glared at her, but still knelt down.
She helped Li Shubai get on the horse. Seeing how he was barely holding on, she was a little worried. After thinking about it, she sat on it herself, wrapped her hands around his waist, and grabbed the reins.
Feeling the gentle strength of her hands wrapped around his waist, Li Shubai's body stiffened slightly, but then he sat up straight and turned to look at the prisoner behind him.
The prisoner was sitting on the ground and was tightly tied to the tree by Huang Zixia, but he had a relaxed and contented look.It's just that when he saw Huang Zixia sitting behind Li Shubai, protecting his body, the eyes that had been looking at her flickered unconsciously.
Huang Zixia followed Li Shubai's gaze, looked back at the prisoner, then held the dagger in his hand, beckoning to Li Shubai.
Li Shubai shook his head slowly and said, "Let him go."
Huang Zixia glanced at him in astonishment, he did not expect King Kui, who is known for his indifference, to be so merciful to this man.But seeing his resolute expression, she had no choice but to dismount and cut off the ropes on the prisoner, leaving only the ropes that bound his hands, then sheathed the dagger, got on the horse and left.
The captive leaned against the tree and barely stood up.Huang Zixia also really admired him. In such a mountain forest for a day and a night, not only did the water and rice barely enter, but he was seriously injured, and he was able to stand up. It was only possible with extraordinary physical strength and will.
And his gaze was fixed on her all the time, not for a moment, causing Huang Zixia to take several steps, and couldn't help but look back at him again.
He stared at her, those eyes were as bright as stars, which made her deeply engraved in her heart the moment she turned her head.
These eyes, as if seen somewhere, are very familiar.
She turned her head in a daze, gathered her arms, hugged Li Shubai from behind, controlled the rein, and said softly: "I will take charge of the horse, and the direction and road will be left to you."
Li Shubai let out a "hmm".
Walking slowly in the dense forest, the two of them were silent all the way, the only sounds were the hoofbeats and the rustling of grass blades.
But the jolt of the horse made Huang Zixia who was sitting behind worry that Li Shubai, who was weak all over, would fall, so she kept subconsciously embracing him harder, but then realized that it shouldn't be like this, so she quickly loosened up a little more.
Along the way, her hands loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again.Like the wind flowing past them, it slows down and then rushes, rushes and slows down.
Li Shubai stared at the front silently all the way until her hand tightened again, and his hand unconsciously covered the back of her hand, calling her in a low voice: "Huang Zixia..."
"Ah?" Huang Zixia responded, but he was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say.
Huang Zixia saw that he was silent, and felt his palm slightly hot, covering the back of her hand, which made her feel a strange tension unconsciously.
He whispered, "There seems to be a temple in front of you, please stop."
She let out an "ah", and hurriedly poked her head to look, and said pleasantly, "Yes, it's here! It seems that my memory is correct!"
He turned his head slightly, stared at her joyful expression, and said, "I don't know if there is anyone in such a dilapidated temple."
"Probably not, because there was a bloody case in this temple last year." Huang Zixia jumped off his horse, pulled Bi E forward, and identified a sparse grassy path on the ground, "There was an abbot and two monks in the temple. After the abbot died, in such a small dilapidated temple, in order to fight for the position of abbot, one monk killed the other and quietly buried it in the garden behind."
Li Shubai said casually: "Someone came to such a ruined temple and discovered the bloody case?"
"It's their bad luck," Huang Zixia led Ti E around the creek and boulders, and said, "I... and Yuxuan went to the mountain to play, but we took the wrong road and were trapped in the mountain. We walked here along the path Here it comes. And when I was worshiping Buddha, I found a drop of dark blood on the treasure pillar, and that shape was sprayed on it."
Li Shubai nodded and said: "In any case, even if the people in the temple steal chicken and duck meat, it is impossible to slaughter them in the hall."
"Yes, according to the traces of the blood splash, I deduced that the man should be kneeling on the futon in front of the Buddha and knocking on the wooden fish, and the murderer should have sneaked up from behind him and stabbed him in the back. The blood spattered From the perspective of height and angle, only the place where the wooden fish was struck is the most likely."
"So, it can also be inferred from this that the deceased should be a monk?"
"Yes, but the one who can kill a monk recklessly in a temple without being afraid of being discovered, and can clean up the murder scene so cleanly, may be the remaining monk," Huang Zixia has already led the horse to the yellow soil In front of the wall, I raised my hand and pushed open the door full of cobwebs, "So I deliberately had a conversation with the monk. He said that after the abbot died a few days ago, the senior brother also wandered away. I pointed to the futon in front of the wooden fish in the hall and asked He, so who is the monk who is kneeling there and knocking on the wooden fish, and why is he staring at you with wide eyes?"
When she said this, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled: "Guess what happened? He was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground and couldn't say a word!"
"So, after the monk was arrested, the temple has been empty?"
"Yes, it seems that even the believers who occasionally come to offer incense are not coming. After all, there was a murder in this temple, so how can it be considered a Buddhist holy place?"
The temple is very small, with only one gate, one front hall and one back hall.The walls have collapsed in several places, the weeds in the courtyard are as high as half a person, and the decayed doors and windows give off a musty smell.Fortunately, there was still a low bed in the side room next to the hall, so she hurriedly supported Li Shubai to sit down, then took the cloth strips torn off yesterday to the mountain spring behind the house to wash it, wiped the low bed, helped Li Shubai lie down, and gave him He took the antidote again, changed to Jinchuang medicine, and applied a wet cloth to his forehead.
Li Shubai was lying on the bed, the high fever made him a little confused, the dark heat invaded his consciousness, he tried his best to sit up, leaned against the window and watched her every move.
She left the pampas grass half a person tall in the courtyard and walked towards the front hall.The basil and white grass in the yard bloomed with fluffy snow-white flowers, which swayed as she walked and floated beside her like clouds.
She first bowed to the Bodhisattva in the hall, then pulled off the remaining two or three incense candles on the table, wiped off the dust, and stuffed them into her sleeves.
Li Shubai unconsciously lay on the window lattice and smiled slightly.
When Huang Zixia turned her head, she saw Li Shubai's smile through the window through the flying catkins, and that smile caught her eyes, which was an unexpected surprise.
She blushed before she knew it, and slowly walked to his window, said a little embarrassedly: "I think we may need it at night."
Li Shubai rested his chin on his elbow, with a slight curve on his lips, staring at her and asked, "Then why do you still want to worship the Bodhisattva first?"
Huang Zixia looked at him in surprise: "When you go to someone's house to spend the night and still need to pick up something, don't you tell him first?"
Li Shubai finally couldn't help it, his smiling eyes fell on her tenderly, and changed the topic: "I don't know if he has been discovered, such a serious injury may not last long in the mountains and forests."
Huang Zixia knew that he was talking about the prisoner.She asked back, "Is the prince familiar with him?"
Li Shubai glanced at her again, but did not speak, only gave a faint "hmm".
Huang Zixia thought in his heart, a person with a photographic memory, of course there is no one he does not know in the ten divisions of the capital, and even if that person tried his best to hide his voice, he should be able to hear it from his voice.
Now that he knew the identity and origin of that person, he must have guessed the mastermind and reason behind the scenes.But Huang Zixia waited for a long time, seeing that Li Shubai didn't say anything, he could only let go.
"How do you feel?" She hesitated for a moment, touched his forehead, her hands were hot, and the fever was severe. It seemed that just applying a wet cloth would not be effective.
But in such a barren mountain, there was really no other way but to rely on himself.Her only use is probably to go outside to find something to eat.
The mountains and forests were barren, and a few untended fruit trees were listlessly hanging a few immature fruits. She picked the fruits and came back with a large handful of purslane in the mountains.After returning to the small courtyard, Li Shubai was already sitting in the shade waiting for her, and even threw a fat hare for her.
"Hey... no way, others are waiting for rabbits, but you can have rabbits if you guard the yard?" She had already washed two pears outside the house, and handed him one first.
Li Shubai took it over and said, "I'm fine sitting still. The rabbit came to the door. Anyway, there was a bow and arrow brought by the captive, so I shot an arrow."
She happily picked up the rabbit and said, "That's great, the prince is better than me sitting still."
The two have experienced life and death, and they have forgotten the distinction between master and servant in such a wilderness, and their speech seems to be much more casual.
Li Shubai looked at her smiling face and said, "Yes, in the future I will hunt and you will cook, sometimes eating raw fish, sometimes roasting a rabbit and simmering a taro or something, it seems pretty good."
"That's a good thing, I'm just afraid that the prince will not be able to let go of the important affairs of the court and the public." She held the rabbit and looked at it, and said, "The head is good, but the strength seems to be insufficient, even the neck has not been penetrated. The prince still needs to take good care of his body."
"It wasn't aimed at the neck," Li Shubai said flatly, "It was aimed at the eyes. My hands are already unstable."
"Eyes..." She felt a little sad in her heart.The hands that shot Pang Xun at a distance of a hundred paces back then were not only lacking in strength, but also lost their aim.
Li Shubai looked up at the sky, and said softly in an extremely calm and low tone: "Maybe it's true...that word will be fulfilled."
This bland tone made Huang Zixia's eyelashes tremble suddenly, as if his heart had been stabbed heavily by a needle, and suddenly stopped beating.She quickly raised the arrow and said, "No! You see, my lord, the shaft of this arrow is too smooth and straight. Can this bow and arrow be so poorly made? There is nothing wrong with such a bow!"
Li Shubai lowered his eyelashes and did not speak. He looked at the pear in his hand for a long time, then unconsciously lifted it up and took a bite.
Then, an unusually strong sourness caused Mount Tai to collapse before Li Shubai, the king of Kui who never changed his face, frowned while inhaling, almost sour tears came out.Huang Zixia stared at him in disbelief, holding the pear in her hand, dumbfounded.
Li Shubai lost the pear, staggered against the wall and walked to the small spring behind the house, grabbed a handful of water and drank it quickly.And Huang Zixia stood behind him with a complicated expression on his face.
He stood up, looked up at the sky, and asked, "What's your expression?"
She said with emotion: "To be able to inadvertently learn about King Kui's weakness, this servant is in a complicated mood."
He glanced at her depressedly, then turned his face to the side: "This king is hungry."
Huang Zixia hurried outside and started cooking the rabbit.
The things seized from the captives are very useful. Inside, a whole set of flint and moxa are wrapped in oiled paper, and they can be easily beaten. The ironware was expensive, and of course the pot in the house had been taken away a long time ago. Fortunately, she also found a crock pot. After washing it with the rabbit, she stuffed half of the rabbit in it for stewing soup, and half of the rabbit was roasting in the stove. As soon as the fragrance came out, not to mention Huang Zixia, even Li Shubai couldn't bear it, and moved from the side room to the door. The two people who had been hungry for a long time, their eyes almost turned green, first rubbed some salt on the rabbit meat, tore it up and ate it.Li Shubai was obsessed with cleanliness, and even scraped off a layer of smoked meat on the outside, while Huang Zixia wanted to lick his oily fingers.When the soup was finished, the two finally stopped being in such a hurry. They first picked and washed the purslane, sprinkled it into the boiling soup, then quickly scooped it up and poured it into the two wooden bowls they found in the stove. In midsummer, cicadas sing, the distant mountains are green, and the towering trees above cover most of the sunlight.They sat in the dilapidated house and shared the hot purslane broth. Looking up and seeing each other's distressed appearance, they couldn't help laughing at each other when they thought about their own appearance. Huang Zixia smelled the fragrant soup, and let out a long breath: "Actually, thinking about it, maybe it's good for us to live in the mountains like this. There is no complicated and complicated world, no court and court strife..." Li Shubai nodded silently, looked back at her thoughtfully, and seemed to be unconsciously repeating what she said: "Are we?" Only then did Huang Zixia feel the ambiguity in her words, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed and shy. She quickly covered her face with a bowl, and covered up her fuss by talking about other topics: "In the next period of time, our good life may depend on You hunted." Seeing that her face was blushing, he followed her topic with a smile and said, "No, I think it's all up to you to cook." "It's not bad if you hunt and I cook," she said. Li Shubai looked at her with a deeper smile on his face. Huang Zixia hasn't recovered yet, and in the future he will have time to figure out the deeper meaning of "the male lead outside the female lead inside" in his mouth. He has already heard Li Shubai say: "You have been with me for almost half a year, and this is the first time you have been with me." Bar." Huang Zixia froze for a moment, then realized that what he was talking about was talking so easily and laughing in front of him. Holding the wooden bowl in her hand, she looked at him with a smile and said, "Well, yes, we've known each other for half a year... so fast." He finally lowered his eyelashes, the thick and long eyelashes covered his bright eyes, but they couldn't hide the smile on his lips, a light and distant trace. Looking at his face, Huang Zixia thought to himself, if he told others in the future that he had seen King Kui's smile, moreover, he had seen it several times in a short period of time, probably no one would believe it— —So that indescribable feeling like the brilliance of the sun breaking through the clouds after the first rainstorm, can only be buried in her heart forever, because she really doesn't have the ability to describe it to others. "Actually, you..." She heard Li Shubai's voice, considered and hesitated, but finally said it out, "You look very pretty when you smile." Surprised and embarrassed, she looked up at him in amazement, thinking, isn't this what I want to say? "Wait...after your family's unjust case is over, I think you should be able to live your life happily. At that time, I hope you can show such a smile every day, and stop worrying quietly every day," he said in an affirmative tone. , saying, "For that day, I will do my best to help you." She never expected that he would say such words to herself, so she could only stare at him blankly. There were thousands of things she wanted to say in her heart, but she couldn't say anything when she came to her mouth. After a long time, she murmured softly. Said: "Thank you... my lord."
After this hearty meal, the sky has already darkened.Huang Zixia hadn't had a good rest for two days and two nights, and fell asleep next to Li Shubai for a while. I don't know how long I slept, but the people around me seemed to move.She woke up suddenly, and the moment she opened her eyes, she felt the sun glaring, it turned out that it was already bright.Huang Zixia's first move was to quickly touch Li Shubai's forehead, and only when he touched his skin did he feel something was wrong—— Because Li Shubai had already opened his eyes and was looking at her quietly. Her hand seemed to be scalded, she immediately retracted, and quickly covered her chest. Li Shubai pulled up the corners of his lips, and showed her a faint smile: "It seems to be much better." Huang Zixia didn't remember whether she felt hot when she touched his forehead just now, so she could only echo his words: "Yeah, it seems much better..." He looked at her, perhaps because of his weakness, his gaze was much gentler than usual.Seeing how cramped she was sitting in front of him, he raised his hand to cover his eyes from the sunlight coming in from outside, and said, "Take a rest, I'll get up and walk around." He straightened up on the bed, slowly supported the wall and went out to wash.Huang Zixia quickly stood up, and helped him to the back spring to scoop up water to wash. The clear spring water splashed on his face, wet his cheeks and eyelashes, and the sunlight shone on the water droplets, making them crystal clear.He turned his eyes to look at her, under the eyelashes wet with water, those eyes were as moving as water. Huang Zixia seemed to be fascinated by the brilliance of the stars, and his face turned red under his gaze.She stood up at a loss, and stammered a little: "I... I'll go and find out first, what's for breakfast." She hurried across the yard to the nearby mountain garden.When passing by Si E, I heard it snort, as if it was also laughing at her. Depressed and embarrassed, she gave it a hard look.
Although it is early in the morning, the late summer sun is already very hot.Fortunately, the shade of the green trees above his head was thick, so Huang Zixia walked to the field behind under the shade of the trees and looked at the place where the monk was buried. The pit was still there, but the surrounding area was covered with weeds. She walked to the edge of the pit and found that several gourds planted in the mountain garden at that time had covered the wasteland, and several gourds, large and small, grew out.She considered whether the melons grown in the dead land were good to eat, and she picked them decisively. Seeing that there were several yam vines nearby, she pulled them up and found that there was only one small one, which was a bit regretful.She sighed, and said to herself: "It doesn't matter if it's small, the yam is good for Qi, and he will recover quickly after taking it." She stood up holding the yam, and felt that the cicadas around her seemed to be much quieter, and felt something was wrong, so she turned her head and looked behind. In the distance, under a green tree, stood a person, with a faintly recognizable face, an incomparably familiar figure, and that detached aura that no one could match. Huang Zixia held the little yam in her hand and slowly stood up. The long wind came from afar, passed by his ears, and then passed by her ears, and rushed to the other side that is far away and unknown. She suddenly remembered that in the past few days of wandering, she had never thought of him once.It seemed that in his own life, like the wind that just brushed against his ears, he had been left there forever, and it was impossible for him to return to her side. She herself was also surprised, why in the deepest part of her consciousness, she didn't feel that he was her reliance. Perhaps, when she was in the most critical moment, he submitted the love letter written by her hand as evidence to Jiedu Fan Yingxi. From that moment on, everything between them has become a thing of the past. So far, what scares her is only Li Shubai's injury.That night, she hugged Li Shubai and went through the hopeless dark night with him. If he really failed to wake up, maybe she would completely collapse and get lost in the mountains and forests, and she would never be able to come out again. She looked at Yu Xuan who was slowly walking towards her, and watched his face gradually become clear under the sunlight, the face of a fairy, the demeanor of a boy in black clothes, but at this moment, she suddenly understood that he not only It's just Yu Xuan. He is her girlhood that has disappeared forever, those dreamy, beautiful, bright and beautiful pasts.Every time she is in a trance because of him, what she sees in her eyes may not be the person she was deeply attached to, but because she saw her old time - the time when she was always living at the age of sixteen, laughing and laughing , the envied Huang Zixia. And he is the witness, participant, and even one of the creators of his best time. So she smiled at him, as if smiling at her past self, she wanted to say, the sixteen-year-old Huang Zixia's dream, don't come here without any problems? However, no matter how beautiful the dream is, it needs to come out after all. Yu Xuan was stunned for a moment. He searched all the way and thought about her various reactions, but he never expected that she would show such a smile the first moment she saw him. Huang Zixia was wearing the eunuch's uniform with a large piece of it torn off at the hem, her whole body was dusty and unkempt, and she was holding a small potato that had just been pulled from the ground.But she doesn't care anymore, because, to her, the person in front of her is actually not important anymore.That's why she casually packed the gourds and potato medicines on the ground, and asked casually, "Why are you here?" Seeing her such a relaxed demeanor, Yu Xuan couldn't say anything for a while, and was silent for a moment, and went to the side to help her pick two big gourds. "Don't make it too big, it won't cook well when you're old." Huang Zixia said. He froze for a moment, then picked two small green gourds and handed them to her, then looked at her and said, "I heard that something happened to King Kui, and all the eunuchs and guards around him were lost. I remembered that we had lost our way here , you may be able to find this place by chance, so come and have a look.” She took the gourd bag in her arms and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." "I... remember you said that you would come back to clear your name, so I hope you return to Chengdu Mansion as soon as possible. At that time, I will see you reverse the case with my own eyes." "I will." She said, looked at the hem of his clothes that were wet with dew, and said, "Thank you for finding it in the middle of the night." "Jiedu Envoy Xichuan has ordered the mountain to be closed for search, so I can only come in in the middle of the night," he fixed his eyes on her for a split second, "I knew you would be fine...although I'm a little embarrassed." Huang Zixia carried the gourd and yam medicine to the small temple, turned her head and bent the corner of her mouth at him: "Yes, I said I would come back to avenge my grievances, so I can't die early." He looked at the curvature of her mouth and the casual expression on her face, and slowed down her pace, feeling a little strange feeling in her heart. Her unconscious trance and confusion in front of him disappeared. The figure of herself that had been reflected in her eyes was gone. His eyes dimmed slightly, but he quickly caught up with her and walked into the temple with her.
The things seized from the captives are very useful. Inside, a whole set of flint and moxa are wrapped in oiled paper, and they can be easily beaten.

She looked at Yu Xuan who was slowly walking towards her, and watched his face gradually become clear under the sunlight, the face of a fairy, the demeanor of a boy in black clothes, but at this moment, she suddenly understood that he not only It's just Yu Xuan. He is her girlhood that has disappeared forever, those dreamy, beautiful, bright and beautiful pasts.Every time she is in a trance because of him, what she sees in her eyes may not be the person she was deeply attached to, but because she saw her old time - the time when she was always living at the age of sixteen, laughing and laughing , the envied Huang Zixia. And he is the witness, participant, and even one of the creators of his best time. So she smiled at him, as if smiling at her past self, she wanted to say, the sixteen-year-old Huang Zixia's dream, don't come here without any problems? However, no matter how beautiful the dream is, it needs to come out after all. Yu Xuan was stunned for a moment. He searched all the way and thought about her various reactions, but he never expected that she would show such a smile the first moment she saw him. Huang Zixia was wearing the eunuch's uniform with a large piece of it torn off at the hem, her whole body was dusty and unkempt, and she was holding a small potato that had just been pulled from the ground.But she doesn't care anymore, because, to her, the person in front of her is actually not important anymore.That's why she casually packed the gourds and potato medicines on the ground, and asked casually, "Why are you here?" Seeing her such a relaxed demeanor, Yu Xuan couldn't say anything for a while, and was silent for a moment, and went to the side to help her pick two big gourds. "Don't make it too big, it won't cook well when you're old." Huang Zixia said. He froze for a moment, then picked two small green gourds and handed them to her, then looked at her and said, "I heard that something happened to King Kui, and all the eunuchs and guards around him were lost. I remembered that we had lost our way here , you may be able to find this place by chance, so come and have a look.” She took the gourd bag in her arms and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." "I... remember you said that you would come back to clear your name, so I hope you return to Chengdu Mansion as soon as possible. At that time, I will see you reverse the case with my own eyes." "I will." She said, looked at the hem of his clothes that were wet with dew, and said, "Thank you for finding it in the middle of the night." "Jiedu Envoy Xichuan has ordered the mountain to be closed for search, so I can only come in in the middle of the night," he fixed his eyes on her for a split second, "I knew you would be fine...although I'm a little embarrassed." Huang Zixia carried the gourd and yam medicine to the small temple, turned her head and bent the corner of her mouth at him: "Yes, I said I would come back to avenge my grievances, so I can't die early." He looked at the curvature of her mouth and the casual expression on her face, and slowed down her pace, feeling a little strange feeling in her heart. Her unconscious trance and confusion in front of him disappeared. The figure of herself that had been reflected in her eyes was gone. His eyes dimmed slightly, but he quickly caught up with her and walked into the temple with her.
