Chapter 57: Silk in the Bone (2)
Xuan Min's half-open eyes were almost integrated with the dimness in the room, making people unable to see the point of his eyes. I don't know whether it was tangled in Xue Xian's equally confused eyes, or the tip of his sweaty nose, or some more below...
There seemed to be a heavy and invisible barrier beside the two of them. All the noises from other places were blocked from the barrier, far away and blurred, and the heavy and obsessive breath was filled with all the surroundings, giving people the illusion of panic, as if the whole room was narrow and narrow, making people unable to move away or move.
Xuan Min's wrist, which was pressed by Xue Xian, suddenly moved, grabbed Xue Xian's finger with his backhand, flipped it over hard, and pressed Xue Xian's hand tightly. I wonder if it was because of his physical reaction that caused him to be unable to control the force in his hand, and he grabbed Xue Xian's hand and clenched it very tightly.
At this time, Xue Xian realized that Xuan Min was sweaty, both in her neck, shoulders, arms and palms were sweaty. When he turned his wrists and bent his joints, his fingers slipped into Xue Xian's fingers because of the dampness. When he clenched, the skin between his fingers was hard to avoid rubbing each other... The illusion of being close was even heavier, and it could even be called intimacy.
Xuan Min closed her eyes half awake and opened them halfway. A drop of wet and hot sweat fell from his chin or somewhere. It happened to fall on the tip of Xue Xian's chin, and then slid down his neck and penetrated under his chest.
Xue Xian's breath suddenly became heavy, and his mind suddenly became thrilled.
In the streets and alleys outside the backyard, some cats got up and screamed for a long time. They seemed particularly clear at night, and they were squatting on the edge of the bed.
Xuan Min seemed to be completely awakened by the cat's cry. He suddenly withdrew his strength between his fingers and closed his eyes again.
Xue Xian's eyelids twitched, and his fingers pinched subconsciously shrank, and he suddenly sat upright. When he was about to pull his hand back and move the chair to retreat, Xuan Min had already sat upright. His eyes were still closed, and his expression had not moved, but his hand holding Xue Xian was already relaxed.
He closed his eyes for a long time and opened them again, quietly looking at Xue Xian beside him, and said, "Sit away."
His tone was as calm as ever, but his voice was lower than usual, and he felt a little slight silence.
Although Xue Xian had already given up to the side, the heartbeat and pulse that had been suppressed before seemed to have suddenly found an exit, and they were beating wildly like they had been resuming their lives, almost beating drums against Xue Xian's ears. His ears were filled with the sound of "all-split, all-split" pulsing sounds, and he didn't hear Xuan Min's low words at all.
"Hmm?" he replied.
The emotions have not yet emerged from the previous illusion of closeness, so that his voice was gentle and lazy with some nasal sound.
Xuan Min was quiet for a moment, and finally said lightly: "Nothing is wrong."
Xue Xian's veins gradually returned to normal. He let out a light breath, but the digits of his right hand were numb and reminding him of everything he had just now. While loosening the muscles and bones of his right hand, he silently drove the two-wheeled car to the table, with his back facing Xuan Min, and by fiddling with the wick, he suppressed the feeling of discomfort.
The wick was fiddled a few times, and the bean flame grew longer, and the whole room suddenly became much brighter. Xue Xian turned the chair and used the bright flames to see clearly what Xuan Min looked like now-
The thin layer of monk's robe on his body was soaked with sweat. The muscles on his shoulders and backs and arms were outlined to be half-discovered... No matter how many different meanings these could evoke just now, it would be really not comfortable to look at it after calming down.
Seeing his sweaty body and thinking about his unusual body temperature just now, Xue Xian rarely thought about others and asked, "I'll get you some water, can you clean it?"
With Xuan Min's temper that could not stand all the dirty temper, she would definitely be unbearable for this wet sweat. But Xue Xian only considered this point and forgot about it. For example, he always had to take off his clothes when cleaning, and for example, there was more than Xuan Min in the room...
However, after he asked this, he remembered these things and immediately wanted to swallow the sentence just now.
Xuan Min sat down on her own. He was silent for a while after hearing this. He opened his eyes and glanced at Xue Xian, then closed it lightly, and said, "No need, you can sit farther away."
Xue Xian said angrily: "...I'm trying to get you too much, and I'll leave the house even further."
Xuan Min didn't open her eyes. After Xue Xian moved back to the "beside the wall with sufficient spiritual energy", she spoke heavily: "No."
This sentence without beginning or end, what he is answering is "not"?
Xue Xian was sitting on the side of the bed. From his perspective, he could see Xuan Min's side, and was blocked by the bed tent. However, this half-covered thing happened to relieve the previous embarrassment and make people completely relaxed.
And the reason why it is embarrassing is because... there was a moment before, Xue Xian could feel some reaction in his body. Of course, he stopped the reaction in time, but...
I don’t know if Xuan Min has the same situation.
His elbow was placed on the armrest of the two-wheeler, his knuckles were loosely supported, and he leaned lazily in the seat. His other hand unconsciously fiddled with the string of copper coins. His thumb rubbed the edge of the copper coins. His eyes fell on the slightly shaking oil lamp, and then on Xuan Min.
Logically speaking, if he had a real reaction, it would have been more obvious. But he couldn't resist his extremely restrained, cautious and cold temperament, making it difficult for him to associate him with certain worldly affairs. What's more, he was sitting cross-legged and slapped in front of his monk's robe, and could not tell anything about it.
But OK, why did it happen suddenly?
The night was too quiet, and time passed and it seemed particularly slow. Xue Xian thought about it boredly, and suddenly remembered the wounds that had been licked by Xuan Min twice on the tiger's mouth, and the words that Jiang Shining was interrupted by Xuan Min before he finished speaking.
Xue Xian: "..."
He understood why Jiang Shining told him not to use ambergris indiscriminately, but this reminder was really one step too late.
He laughed dryly in his heart, sat upright silently, showing a serious look so that he would not be as serious as the initiator. Then he no longer stared at Xuan Min who was being tricked, but closed his eyes guiltily and took a rest with his copper coins.
The rest of the night was really different from the past. Perhaps it was because he picked up another dragon bone, or perhaps it was because two of Xuan Min's copper coins had been lifted.
Previously, he could only feel the faint soreness and heat in the areas where the muscles and bones were missing. He could feel that the broken bones were very full, and it seemed that he was about to pull out the joints. Now, the heat swelling rushing in his blood and the keels that had previously melted into his body suddenly had a clear direction. They gathered at the broken bones, like the extension of the broken bones, and a silk condensed from that place.
The silk seemed to be alive. As Xue Xian concentrated his mind and gathered his energy, the silk was also slowly stretching little by little. However, this process was extremely laborious. In just one night, the silk in the broken bone had just been pulled for half a month, but Xue Xian seemed to have spent half a month of mental energy.
By dawn and when the Fang family members were leaving the house one after another, Xue Xian had already instigated Jiang Shining, who had no need to sleep, and planned to find a restaurant to get some food.
"Anning, Xue... Master, what are you two doing?" Jiang Shijing washed up and was about to get some medicine for the three beggars with rashes. When he saw these two people walking towards the back door, he called them.
"Go to Huicuiju." Jiang Shining still knew about the famous restaurant in Qingping County and could barely lead a way for Xue Xian.
"Huicuju?" Jiang Shijing said strangely, "What are you doing when you go to Huiicuju in the early morning? Chen Sao is already preparing for breakfast."
Jiang Shining waved his hand, "This ancestor is so picky. He doesn't tell me if he's breakfast or late. He only eats meat, and he has to be a big dish."
"At this time, even if you go to Huicuiju to order meat and vegetables, you have to wait for someone to cook." If it weren't for Xue Xian and Xuan Min, the Fang couple might still be consuming in Wen Village, and they wouldn't know whether they were alive or dead. Therefore, the Fang family had a sense of awe and gratitude to Xue Xian and Xuan Min. They felt negligent when calling a simple "Young Master". How could they let Xue Xian go hungry?
When she said this, Mrs. Chen happened to come out of the kitchen. The two looked at each other. Mrs. Chen slapped her, "I can do all the signature Mrs. Chen in Huicuiju. Master Xue, you can eat whatever you want. Even if you want to say that, I am quick enough to keep it for a while, and then I will get a table together."
Jiang Shijing also nodded and said, "I'll ask Xingzi to help Mrs. Chen later. You didn't have enough food yesterday. How can you avoid Eme now."
At other people's house, Xue Xian naturally would not place a large table so unscrupulously, so he said with a rare opportunity: "Then you have some work, just make some, just have meat." Anyway, he doesn't eat grass.
but……
He looked around and said to Jiang Shijing and Chen Sao, "Can you prepare some hot water? That bald... Xuan Min was sweating all over the night and needs to clean it."
"I've been sweating all over?" When Jiang Shijing and Jiang Shining heard this, the doctor in their bones fell ill and asked in unison: "Does there be any other reaction? Is there a headache? Do you feel nauseous?"
Other reactions...
Xue Xian said dryly: "No, because his bones are not very cold or heated. Maybe he will be able to get meditated and become obsessed with meditation."
The Jiang family siblings: "..." Being obsessed sounds much more serious than a headache or fever. Ancestor!
But when I remembered that "the masters always have some problems with them", the Jiang brothers and sisters felt that it might be inconvenient to ask more questions, so I listened to Xue Xian's words and asked someone to prepare hot water first.
When Xue Xian thought about what happened last night, he was still a little uncomfortable. He would not go back to the house if he could stay outside the house. So he followed Jiang Shining and then followed Chen Sao for a walk. Finally, Chen Sao was invited out of the kitchen and silently went back to the dining room table to wait for food.
When Jiang Shining saw the medicine, he couldn't stop and followed his sister to prepare medicine. Only Fang Cheng and Xue Xian who were reading the account book were left in the living room.
Xue Xian thought about it for a while, and then spoke to Fang Cheng and said, "I'll ask for a question."
Fang Cheng paused his hand holding the account book and said quickly: "If you don't dare to take it, don't dare to take it, just ask what you have, and you will know everything."
"Have you heard of Ambergris?" Fang Cheng was not Jiang Shining. He didn't know that Xue Xian's real body was a dragon. Xue Xian didn't have to worry about his face when asked about this. "What's the effect? If it is used on ordinary people, what's the harm?"
"..." Fang Cheng glanced at him blankly and said, "I have heard of it naturally, but I have never seen it before when I see it. Is the effect... all remain in the rumors."
"What do you say in the rumor?"
"Just... the girl met ambergris and got pregnant and gave birth." Fang Cheng was probably a story-telling person, and he finished it in one dry sentence.
Xue Xian: "..."
This is a bit of a big fun.
Fang Cheng said again: "There are some rumors in this world that someone is destined to get it. He sold it at a sky-high price or used it as a medicine. It is said that in addition to treating injuries and diseases, it can relieve hundreds of poisons, there are also some other effects, mostly nourishing yin, strengthening yang, urging joy and enjoying emotions. It is said that the days of continuous development are not short, but it is only based on rumors that there are indeed strange medicines that can cure injuries and diseases, and can also relieve hundreds of poisons. If you can see them once in your lifetime, it will be considered dead without regrets."
He was used to dealing with various medicinal herbs, and he was serious about these effects, so he couldn't have any intimacy, but...
Although Xue Xian guessed it last night, it felt different when he heard someone say it now.
So he went to the yard without saying a word and grabbed Jiang Shining and said, "I'll talk to you, will I stay with you tonight?"
Jiang Shining: "...No, living in the same room with the master is enough for me to go to the underworld in one night. I promised to stay for two more days for me to accompany my sister to celebrate her birthday?"
Xue Xian said again: "Okay, if you don't change, don't change it. Add me one, I won't occupy a bed anyway."
Jiang Shining laughed dryly: "You were shocked to pee on the bed. Do you think Erqi will be crazy?"
Xue Xian: "..."
"Are you offended the master again?" Jiang Shining felt that he had not received a penny and had to worry about his mother's heart, which really made him live a life. Oh, wrong, he has no life left.
Xue Xian raised his hand expressionlessly and compared it with his thumb and index finger, "I caused him a little trouble."
Jiang Shining said: Yes, it must be a difficult and difficult problem, not just a little bit.
While the two were talking, the door of the backyard was pushed open. Two young men dressed as medicine men walked into the yard with medicine baskets. When they saw Jiang Shining and the others were stunned, they greeted Mrs. Chen who had brought the vegetable bowl from the stove, "Sister Chen, it's so good that he did it, but we were starving to death. Where is the young master and his wife?"
"Young master and wife are all busy. They go to put the medicine basket, wash their hands and faces, and start meals later." Mrs. Chen responded.
"Hey--I was able to come back last evening, but I ran into a team on the land and cleared the road. It was only one night late." These two were the guys who helped the Fang family, who were holding the medicine basket while talking to Chen Sao.
"Horse Team? What horse team?"
"The horse team of the government." When Yaolang said this, his tone suddenly became mysterious. "Didn't the epidemic in our county be reported? The court sent an official horse team of the Nuo ritual to expel the epidemic. It was time to enter the county town this morning. Guess who was sent?"
"Nuo Yi?" Chen Sao was stunned, "Is it possible..."
