The summer sun is bright and scorching the branches. The birds singing outside the window are clear and lively, adding a bit of vitality to the gorgeous midsummer flowers.
Xue Xichen has been lying in bed for half a month.
Counting the first twenty days of coma, she had not gotten out of bed and moved around for nearly a month.
On this day, Xue Xichen felt vaguely that lying down became uncomfortable. She asked Phantom to help her up, and then put her in the yard to bask in the sun under the pine tree.
Phantom carefully put a soft cushion on Xue Xichen. From a lying position to a sitting position, the blood in his body felt indescribably comfortable. Xue Xichen knew that he was about to recover.
The Phantom sat quietly beside her, peeling an apple for her.
Xue Xichen has always wondered how a big man like Phantom, who makes a living by killing people, can be so careful. She always felt that Phantom held a small fruit knife in his sword hand, bit by bit.
Peel the apple carefully, the long thin skin hangs down in circles, and the delicate and perfect movements look awkward.
"Ying, you are really not suitable for doing this kind of thing."
"Um?"
Seeing the puzzled look cast by the phantom, Xue Xichen giggled and said, "Peel an apple! I thought you would peel an apple for me with your murderous hands, and I felt..." I was covered in chicken skin, and I felt chills!
Phantom was stunned. In her memory, it seemed that a woman had once said the same thing to her. At that time, the woman leaned lazily on his shoulder and pointed out roguely, "Ye, you are really not suitable for this! Look,
You peeled the skin, making one piece thicker and the other shorter, and you almost lost the flesh of the apple!"
Recalling the past, the corners of Phantom's lips couldn't help but reveal a nostalgic arc. If she hadn't loved to eat apples at that time, but was too lazy to peel them and pestered him to peel them every day, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to peel them so well now.
When he was distracted, the blade of the knife fell slightly, and the apple peel fell off. Seeing the finally broken apple peel, Xue Xichen showed a joyful expression and laughed loudly: "Peel... Peel... Peel... Peel finally
broken!"
Phantom sighed helplessly. I really don't know what kind of mentality Xue Xichen had, as if it was a great good thing for her that the peel was broken. He shook his head, his eyes fell on Xue Xichen's slightly raised left hand, and immediately,
Shock and ecstasy overwhelmed his mind, "Xichen, your hands can move!"
"ah?"
Xue Xichen immediately looked at his left hand. Really! Although it was very mechanical and could only be held stiffly, it could really move! Xue Xichen wanted to bend his arm with joy, but immediately felt a heart-piercing pain.
Xue Xichen had no choice but to stretch out her arms and call out to Hua Tuo who was playing with herbs in the yard, "Master, I can move my hands!"
Hua Tuo looked up when he heard the sound, his face full of surprise. Xue Xichen had been paralyzed for so long, and suddenly he could move. This was really unprecedented good news. He immediately washed his hands and hurried towards Xue Xichen.
Being able to move her left hand gave Xue Xichen great encouragement. She moved carefully under the supervision of Hua Tuo and Phantom. She followed Hua Tuo's warning, move for a while, then rest for a while. Then she sat happily and basked in the sun. Hua Tuo said
It's good to bask in the sun, it can help you recover faster.
Every day after that, Xue Xichen practiced according to Hua Tuo's instructions. Her arms became more sensitive and their range of motion became wider day by day.
A peaceful life not only brings a peaceful state of mind to Xue Xichen, but also allows her to calm down and carefully observe the natural scenery. For example, in the quiet afternoon, she will quietly watch the wind and grass on the ground, watching the ants diligently moving around.
Food moved into their caves. One day, these ants captured a small insect, but in the process of moving forward, they were swallowed by birds. What a tiny microscopic world, seemingly imperceptible, but it has explained the vastness of the world.
The truth of the law of the jungle.
Xue Xichen thought that if she hadn't broken a bone and could only lie down except for sitting, she would not have been so patient in observing. Then, she would not have discovered this novel little world.
Xue Xichen suddenly understood why those wild explorers would rather give up a comfortable life and continue to have adventures, because only by going deep into the jungles and mountains can they see many scenery that ordinary people cannot reach.
And these scenery are often a microcosm of the microscopic world.
A baby bird fell from the tree and fell into the thorns under the tree. It struggled and tried to escape, but every time it moved, the thorns scratched its tender flesh mercilessly.
Xue Xichen looked distressed and wanted to save her, but she couldn't move.
Just then, the phantom came with a fruit plate. Xue Xichen quickly asked the phantom to rescue the baby bird. The phantom put down the fruit bowl, walked forward slowly, carefully rescued the baby bird from the thorns, and returned it to the nest.
Xue Xichen looked at the thorns on the thorns stained with the hair and blood of the young birds, and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Life in this world is like being among thorns. The heart does not move rashly, and people do not move rashly. If you don't move, you will not be hurt;
If a person's heart beats, he will move rashly, hurting his body and hurting his bones, and he will experience all kinds of pain in the world."
Phantom looked deeply at Xue Xichen, who looked sad, and held different opinions, "If the heart is unmoved, how can we call a person? People can only appreciate the world because of their heartbeat and understanding of emotions. Those who have no heart cannot be called a person."
"If your heart is not moved, will there be no pain..."
"If your heart is not moved, how can you understand joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, and how can you appreciate love, hate, and resentment? If your heart is not moved, life will be like a pool of stagnant water. Wouldn't it seem too lonely?"
"Shadow...you are a killer...the first rule of a killer is..."
"Can't be moved!"
That's right! She can't be moved! But she is moved, and so is the Phantom! They cannot be called first-class killers, because they are all dominated by their own feelings and have long forgotten the essence of a killer!
——Can’t be moved!
"Xichen, I don't regret it!"
Phantom's eyes were sincere. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he knew that Xue Xichen must understand what he was talking about. He doesn't regret it! He won't regret it either! No matter it was then or now...
"film……"
He understands her, how can she not understand him! The tacit understanding between him and her seems to have been destined from the past life. Whether it is Xue Meitong or Xue Xichen, she is the one who understands Phantom best!
…
People don't know how to spend time in the mountains. Gradually, Xue Xichen no longer needs to lie on the bed. Phantom made a cradle for her so that she can sit or lie comfortably and watch the beautiful scenery in the mountains every day.
Later, Phantom made a wheelchair. In his spare time, he would push Xue Xichen for a walk in the mountains. The mountain flowers were blooming, the vegetation was green, the sky was blue, and white clouds were floating. Phantom pushed Xue Xichen while walking slowly
Driving slowly. Xue Xichen was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at the mountain scenery. She suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment, which made her very excited and made her reborn.
It turns out that she has been missing it all her life, just like she missed the beautiful scenery along the way again and again.
