Chapter 4
Chapter 4
It was humid after the rain, and the cool wind poured in along the entrance of the cave, and Lingzhi shrank her neck like a frightened little animal.
He came back in a hurry and forgot to block the hole tightly with grass.
There was a man wading on the haystack facing him in the cave, Lingzhi looked at the man's face up and down in a strange way, the corners of his lips curled up, and whispered: "I'll go and cover the entrance of the cave tightly."
Xiao Junqian was still sick, Lingzhi was afraid that the wind outside would make him seriously ill.
He handed the returned clothes to Xiao Junqian, hooked a broken cloth belt with his fingers, and asked Chi: "Ne...do you need help?"
Xiao Yan naturally didn't need it.
The little Yaoren's eyes were on him all the time, looking at the whole world, who would dare to look at him like this.
Xiao Yan raised his brows and eyes lightly: "I will do it myself."
Lingzhi groaned, turning his head from time to time as he walked out.
Lingzhi helped up the rickety vines and grass to block the cave, and after returning home, he distributed the picked grass leaves and fruits to the men.
He pushed the tenderest leaves and ripest fruits into Xiao Junqian's arms: "Eat it quickly!"
Xiao Yan caressed a fruit thoughtfully: "Is there any other food?"
Xiao Yan's body was severely poisoned, and he suffered from both serious and traumatic injuries.
Although the little medicine man saved his life, the residual poison in his body persisted, and it is unknown when it will be cured.
Xiao Yan struggled to support his broken body. To recover, he must not neglect the food, how could he eat grass every day.
Lingzhi said embarrassingly: "Ah..."
He thought that men don't like to eat grass and fruits, but these are his favorite things, and he is willing to share them with each other.
Lingzhi was a little disappointed, and said to herself: "It's delicious, the fruit is sweet and fragrant."
Xiao Yan could hear the disappointment in Xiaoyaoren's tone, and asked with a frown, "Aside from these, do you usually eat other food?"
Lingzhi shook her head: "Don't eat."
Xiao Yan thought to herself, no wonder her wrists are so slender, how can her body grow like her peers only by eating herbs.
Lingzhi is not deeply involved in the world, but he is not stupid.
He could see that Xiao Junqian didn't want to eat grass anymore, he lowered his eyes and stared at the clean fresh grass that he had washed, and the joy in his heart flowed away drop by drop like leaked water.
Lingzhi got up, and walked out of the cave without turning her head in a muffled voice.
Xiao Yan's lips tightened slightly, and the little medicine man didn't come back after a quarter of an hour.
Thinking of the little medicine man's name, he called out: "Lingzhi."
No one responded.
The little medicine man left in a fit of anger?
Xiao Yan was not allowed to meditate, and a burst of tiger roar made him regain his mind.
Xiao Yan's heart sank, there were tigers on this mountain.
If in the past, he had his own way to deal with fierce tigers, but now his skills are all weak, and it is difficult to get out of bed and walk after being seriously injured, how to deal with the fierce beasts in the forest.
The sound of the tiger circled, Xiao Yan thought of the little medicine man, and raised his eyebrows lightly.
At this moment, a soft voice came from the direction of the cave entrance: "Xiao Junqian, do you want to eat meat?"
The mountain people eat meat, and Lingzhi sees them hunting. He couldn't bear to watch the bloody and cruel scene, and he was terrified after watching it.
The little medicine man who went back and forth made Xiao Yan slightly distracted, before he could speak, he heard the little medicine man say "wait for me", it sounded like he ran out again.
Xiao Yan caressed his brows lightly, he fell into the flatland, and fell into the body of a little medicine man who was not deeply involved in the world. I don't know if it is his retribution.
The birds chirped, Lingzhi carefully put the medicinal herbs in his pocket into the basket, and wiped off the muddy stains on his face.
His pretty face didn't look the same as before. At this moment, he was hit hard, and he hid discouragedly in a well-arranged trap.
The blades of grass that Lingzhi put in her hair as a cover swayed blankly, and after making up her mind, she threw her slender body forward, staring blankly at the fat rabbit that couldn't even touch its round tail.
"what……"
Lingzhi's hunting action failed again.
The pheasant couldn't catch it, and its fingers were pecked, and the rabbit couldn't touch it either. The rabbit was so fat, and he was not as flexible as a rabbit.
Even bigger wild animals, Lingzhi still dare not provoke them.His eyes turned around aggrievedly, the heart grass and fruit are so delicious, easy to pick and large in quantity.
Lingzhi returned empty-handed, and stopped outside the cave entrance for a while.
Before he could figure out how to tell Xiao Junqian that he couldn't catch the prey, he heard a man's deep voice from inside the cave.
Xiao Yan: "Lingzhi."
Lingzhi was confused, thinking that Xiao Junqian could call his name so nicely.
He stepped into the cave, met Xiao Junqian's gentle moon-like eyes, his heart suddenly missed a few beats.
Lingzhi became more and more ashamed, and whispered: "I failed to catch the rabbit back."
Xiao Yan smiled slightly: "It's okay, you are kind to me, I made it difficult for you to let you go hunting."
Lingzhi shook her head.
He was very happy to find Xiao Junqian. After staying in the mountains for a long time, Lingzhi rarely had contact with the villagers at the foot of the mountain. Knowing Xiao Junqian, he felt different from the villagers.
He turned around and dumped the remaining sweet potatoes in the bamboo basket, and said softly, "We will roast the sweet potatoes to eat."
Then he lowered his head to take out the most buried thing in the mud, wrinkling his nose.
"The mountain people sent me eggs, and the taste of the eggs was too fishy to taste."
Xiao Yan: ...
Afraid that the man would not believe it, Lingzhi raised her voice slightly: "Really, I've eaten it all."
Xiao Yan was speechless.
After a while, he said, "Take a clay pot, it should be bigger."
Lingzhi found the largest clay pot and presented it to the man.
Xiao Ling touched the pot: "Is there a pot that's half the size?"
The mountain people gave Lingzhi several clay pots of different sizes, and they really found out what the man wanted.
He let the man touch all the things the mountain people gave him.
Xiao Yan said: "Wash it clean, fill it with half of the water into a clay pot, and heat it up."
He picked up a small porcelain jar and uncorked the cork.
"This is salt, keep it for later use."
Lingzhi didn't understand what Xiao Junqian was going to do, so he obediently followed the other party's instructions.
He squatted in front of the clay pot that was on fire, and handed Xiao Junqian a handful of fresh and dripping grass without giving up.
Xiao Yan was quite helpless at the moment, took the grass, but did not eat it.
He held the grass in his fingertips and casually played with it.
With a few simple movements, Lingzhi couldn't take her eyes off her.
He moved to the other side and sat down: "Eat?"
Xiao Yan tilted his ears slightly, and pointed in the direction of the clay pot: "It's time to lay eggs."
Lingzhi said, Xiao Yan raised her eyes.
Even though she knew that men couldn't see, it gave Lingzhi the illusion of being watched.
He blushed slightly.
Xiao Yan said in a low voice: "Crack open the shell of the egg, and pour the contents of the egg into the water."
Lingzhi cracked a few eggs and sprinkled in a little salt as instructed.
The tips of his ears were a little red. It turned out that eggs were eaten like this, so he licked them.
Lingzhi approached the clay pot: "It smells so good."
Xiao Yan counted the time and said, "Bring down the clay pot."
Lingzhi did as he did, and then took out two clay bowls, filled one and handed it to the man, holding the other bowl and blowing.
He narrowed his eyes and licked it with the tip of his tongue. The wonderful and fresh taste stimulated his taste buds, and he quickly lowered his head and sipped the soup.
Xiao Yan is also drinking soup.
Lingzhi peeped from the corner of her eye: even the posture of drinking soup is pretty.
He imitated everything, and couldn't imitate the other person's demeanor no matter what, and finally smiled silly, and got closer to the man.
Lingzhi said: "There are more than a dozen eggs left in the bamboo basket."
Xiao Yan asked, "Is there any rice?"
Lingzhi shook her head.
But he remembered that Xiao Junqian wanted rice and meat.
That night, Xiao Yan used stones to carve a line on the cave wall, and since he woke up, he has written down a line every day.
Lingzhi watched curiously: "Xiao Junqian, are you writing?"
And he himself doesn't know anything, Xiao Junqian knows many things.
Lingzhi murmured: "I can't write..."
Xiao Yan looked sideways: "Give me a piece of firewood."
Lingzhi picked up a piece of firewood next to the fire and handed it out. Although Xiao Yan couldn't see clearly, every stroke and painting was very clear in his heart.
He wrote down the word "Lingzhi": "This is your name."
Lingzhi's eyes widened, even though he didn't know a lot of big characters, he thought Xiao Junqian's handwriting was beautiful, even more beautiful than the couplets pasted on the doors of every house in the village.
Not only did Lingzhi's ears heat up, but her heartbeat gradually accelerated.
He picked up the firewood and followed the crooked and ugly handwriting written by the man. He looked into the man's eyes from the corner of his eye and heaved a sigh of relief.
Lingzhi hugged her knees and sat on the haystack to write and write, then suddenly stretched out her elbow and touched it to the side.
"How do you write your name?"
Xiao Yan paused, took the firewood from the little medicine man, and wrote "Xiao Junqian" on the ground.
Lingzhi: "...It's so difficult."
He wrote according to the handwriting, his eyes were dazzled, the handwriting was like a chicken crawling, and the shape was twisted.
Lingzhi shook her head, not looking.
"Xiao Junqian, when can I write the same words as you?"
The little medicine man got close, and when he spoke, his warm breath was mixed with a faint green smell of medicine lingering around Xiao Yan's side.
He didn't respond, the little medicine man got closer and closer.
Xiao Yan said: "Practicing calligraphy is about accumulating over time, and haste makes waste."
Lingzhi shook her head and nodded again and again: "Oh!"
He covered his mouth and yawned, and surrounded Xiao Junqian's writing with hay.
"Then I will practice tomorrow."
Xiao Yan nodded.
Lingzhi: "Let's rest, it's getting late."
Lingzhi spread some medicinal herbs around the cave, and explained while spreading: "This way, there will be no mosquitoes, snakes and rats to disturb the cave."
Xiao Yan looked at the blurred silhouette of the shadow in front of him: "You know quite a lot."
Lingzhi smiled shyly.
Xiao Yan said again: "There are tigers around, maybe we should find another cave to settle down."
Lingzhi suddenly said: "It won't harm me."
Xiao Yan raised her eyebrows, and Lingzhi quickly said, "This cave belongs to him, give it to me!"
Xiao Yan underestimated Xiaoyaoren, who was so young that he still had the ability to conspire with tigers.
Lingzhi confessed the matter between herself and the tiger, and upon hearing this, Xiao Yan lay on her side, but her tone was always gentle: "Humans and beasts have different paths, you can't always stay with the beasts in the mountains."
Lingzhi asked: "Xiao Junqian, will you take me away?"
Lingzhi didn't hear the sound, so he turned and squatted down in front of the man, staring at his quiet and handsome face, and went to sleep for a long time.
The author says:
Lingzhi is a face control person, maybe he can like Xiao Yan, or other good-looking people, dog heads.
