Celebrating the New Year is a custom. No matter how remote or lonely the place is, it will inevitably be infected with the atmosphere of the New Year. The same is true in a quiet mountain village outside Lin'an City.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household hangs red lanterns. Early in the morning, people carry baskets and lead their children to start visiting relatives.
During the Chinese New Year, the happiest thing is the children. No matter where they go, they can always take one or two coins like this. When they come back, they show it off to their friends, then run to town with the coins and buy some sweets to chew on.
Have fun.
But this year, something is different about a family in the deepest part of this small mountain village.
They didn't start preparing to take away the neighbor's small gifts as early as in previous years. Instead, they were going in and out, busy with something.
"Dad, did your medicine work? Why hasn't he woke up yet?" A crisp voice came from the house, and the sound quality was as pure as an oriole in an empty valley.
"Why are you so anxious? It's not a magic pill. He fell from such a high place. It would be great if he could save his life. How could he wake up so quickly?" An old man sat on the threshold, shaking his hands.
Grinding the medicinal noodles on the ground, he responded angrily to the girl in the room.
When the girl in the room heard this, she frowned, curled her lips, and muttered softly: "I always say this!"
This is a small family in the village. There are only two small wooden houses, surrounded by a fence made of dead branches. One of the small wooden houses has a strong smell of medicine. Because the house is located in a remote place.
, at the mountain pass at the end of the village, so no one noticed anything strange about them.
At this moment, the girl in the room was looking at the man lying on the couch with all her attention, and from time to time she used a handkerchief to wipe away the faint sweat left by him.
This is the first time she has seen such a good-looking man. His face is much prettier than the most handsome Li Si in the village. This man is really like an immortal!
The girl blushed a little and her heart skipped a beat. She recalled the scene when she met him the night before.
At that time, she was looking for a piece of handkerchief she had dropped during the day at the foot of the cliff. While she was searching, she suddenly heard the sound of a heavy object rolling down from the weeds on the mountain wall. The sound was infinitely amplified in the quiet valley.
With a weird feeling.
At first, she was startled and thought she had encountered some ferocious beast. But the sound only rolled around a few times and then stopped. Finally, she bravely walked forward, and when she was digging through the grass,
Then I saw this man covered in blood.
She swallowed and carefully put her hand under his nose. When she felt the faint breath, the girl breathed a sigh of relief and used all her strength to carry the man back.
Who is he and why did he fall off the cliff? Was it because he couldn't figure it out? Or was it an accident?
Countless questions sprouted in the girl's mind, but she couldn't get the answers. She looked at the man and felt itchy in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was like.
"Girl, stop looking, he won't wake up so early if you look at her again!" An old man walked into the room carrying a medicine bowl, looked at the girl and took a look at her.
But the girl didn't take his words seriously at all. She looked at the man lying on the couch and said, "Dad, this man is so beautiful!"
"Why, have you fallen in love with her?" the old man joked, and handed the medicine bowl to the girl.
Hearing this, the girl's face suddenly turned a little red. She hurriedly took the medicine bowl from the old man's hand, lowered her head and said coquettishly: "Dad, what are you talking about!"
The old man didn't say anything, he just snorted with a smile from the corner of his eyes.
The man on the couch had been unconscious. The medicine was half administered and half drained. Finally, the bottom of the bowl was gone, and the girl breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, the old man's voice came from outside the door again: "Shui Yatou, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. You will pack two pieces of meat and send them to your third aunt at the entrance of the village!"
When the girl heard this, she unconsciously pouted, and said with a bit of displeasure: "Dad, just go and do it!"
Hearing this, the old man glanced at the room lightly and snorted softly: "What? Still reluctant to let go? That man won't wake up for a while, don't worry!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the girl blushed, stamped her little foot, turned around and walked out of the house and said: "Okay, okay, I'm going!"
After going to the kitchen to pick out two pieces of better meat, the girl went to her third aunt's house at the entrance of the village.
The old man watched the girl's cheerful back gradually turn into a small dot, and the faint smile hanging on his lips gradually faded away. There was a hint of worry in his eyes, and he glanced into the room.
When Shui Yatou carried this man back last night, the old man felt that his identity might not be simple. He was dressed in brocade clothes with a hint of nobility, and the fan he held in his hand was inlaid with twelve blades. In order to avoid causing trouble
, the old man hid the fan that night and changed out of his bloody clothes. But some people are born with nobility that even a sack can't stop. That man just lying there made people feel so noble.
.
As the old man thought about it, he became more and more uneasy. He picked a bean, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He looked up at the sky and wondered in his heart, was there going to be any change today? He was in this remote place.
The small mountain village has been peaceful for the rest of its life, I hope it doesn't cause any trouble.
"Shui Yatou, please ask your father for me!" The third aunt sent the girl to the door. While telling her to be careful on the road, she asked her to say hello to her.
The girl nodded and agreed one by one. It was not until the door of the third aunt's house was closed that the girl couldn't wait to go back. Thinking of the strange man lying on the couch, the girl felt like returning, and her heart "thumped".
Jumping, can't tell why.
Just as she was passing by the village entrance, a young man suddenly appeared and blocked her way.
The girl looked at the man in front of her who was only fourteen or fifteen years old with some vigilance, and looked him up and down. She saw that he was wearing a half-face mask, and the only visible thin lips gave people a clue. He was definitely
A beautiful boy. But no matter how beautiful he was, in the girl's heart, he was not as beautiful as the man lying on the couch. Moreover, this man exuded a cold and chilling aura, which made her feel slightly afraid.
"What's the matter with you?" When her way was blocked, the girl finally frowned and asked cautiously.
"Have you ever seen a man? He should be covered in wounds. He is wearing a dark purple robe and has a handsome appearance." The visitor opened his thin lips lightly.
When the girl heard this, her heart suddenly thumped, and she thought of the man lying on the couch. She glanced at the man in front of her cautiously, always feeling that there was some danger, and thinking of the man who was not yet awake, she couldn't help but worry, so
He refused without thinking: "No."
When the visitor heard this, he frowned, whispered: "Thank you!", then turned and left. When the girl saw him walking away, she ran back quickly.
