Chapter 15
After Xu Xian and Bai Zhen finished their dinner happily, they cleaned up the remnants around them, and then the two of them took turns to go to the spring pool not far away there, washed up briefly, and then planned to sleep.The two occupied one side of the fire, Xu Xian lay down and Bai Zhen sat, the sky and the ground were the bed.
After lying down, perhaps because of the open air, Xu Xian tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. He sighed and opened his eyes in resignation.Bai Zhen was very alert, and quickly noticed his uneasiness. He opened his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Xian watched him talk until he might have disturbed his rest, so he sat up a little embarrassedly: "I'm sorry to disturb you?"
Bai Zhen shook his head, in fact, he was just meditating and breathing out to absorb the essence of the moon.Seeing that he didn't look sleepy either, Xu Xian smiled and said, "Since we can't sleep, why don't we come chat."
"Chat? What are you talking about?" Bai Zhen looked at him. He had lived for thousands of years, and no one had ever told him to chat like this.
"It's just casual, chatting, of course, you can say whatever you want." Xu Xian started to add a piece of wood to the fire, "Well... why don't you start with your experience."
Bai Zhen thought for a while and frowned: "I have nothing to say about my experience." He has practiced in the cave for more than 700 years, and the previous 700 years were spent lazily in the form of a snake. After going down Mount Qingcheng, where can I tell you about my experience?
Xu Xian had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll tell you about myself, don't make me annoyed."
"When I was young, I was smart and cute. Not only was I sensible, but I also knew how to take care of other children. As long as I knew people, there was no one who didn't like me..." Xu Xian couldn't help being a little proud when he talked about his past. She is a little heartthrob, and when she was in the orphanage, there were people rushing to hug her wherever she went.Although it is strange that no one has come to adopt him, he is not depressed and is still happy to live every day.
Bai Zhen listened quietly to him talking about his past. For some reason, he could gradually picture a small and sensible Xu Xian in his mind, dangling lively in front of his eyes. As far as children are concerned, they have always hated humans, especially Bai Zhen, who is a human child, unexpectedly finds him cute like this.
Xu Xian didn't dare to talk too much about the past life, fearing that something might be seen, so he could only talk about the past life and the present life in a mixed way.As he talked, his eyelids began to feel a little heavy, and his voice gradually became smaller and smaller. When Bai Zhen couldn't hear the voice and looked over, the man had already fallen asleep with his chin propped up.
Bai Zhen was amused to hear it, and was a little unhappy to see that he didn't go on talking. He carefully looked at Xu Xian, who had his eyes closed and his head paused, through the fire. Maybe it was because of the hazy night, or maybe it was because of the misty smoke in the mountains. In short, when Bai Zhen looked at him at this time, he felt that this man was surprisingly good-looking.
He just looked at it quietly for a while, and then walked over and gently laid the person down.Xu Xian murmured comfortably in his sleep, and seeing that he was sleeping unconsciously, Bai Zhen couldn't help cursing in a low voice: "Idiot." But the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.
Bai Zhen couldn't fall asleep, so he just sat beside him, staring straight at Xu Xian, and it was dawn before he knew it.
After lingering in the woods for a while in the morning, the two packed up and started going down the mountain to go home.
The way down the mountain was more difficult than the way up. If Xu Xian hadn't been pulled by Bai Zhen, he would have rolled down the mountain long ago. After the two walked for a while, Bai Zhen suddenly stopped and asked Xu Xian to wait for him for a while , Not long after, another meat dumpling came over, it was still that bare-bottomed kid.
Xu Xian didn't know whether to laugh or cry looking at this, and hugged a bunch of wild ginseng essence in his arms, and asked in a gentle tone: "Didn't I tell you to hide, why are you still following brother?"
Little Ginseng Essence didn't know if she could speak, so she stared at him without making a sound, then handed the things in her arms to Xu Xian like a treasure offering, and looked at him with big bright eyes.
Xu Xian looked at it for a while, and somewhat understood what he meant: "These are all for me?"
Little Ginseng nodded cheerfully.
Xu Xian suddenly felt very warm in his heart. He just gave this little guy a little candy. Bai Zhen wanted to catch him before, but now this baby actually gave him so many wild ginseng in return. It really makes people feel distressed. .
He reached out and touched the small head of the little ginseng, his eyes were gentle: "Thank you. When my brother comes next time, I will bring you a lot of delicious food, okay?"
Little Ginseng probably understood what he said, gritted her teeth and nodded.
Bai Zhen was on the side, watching Xu Xian, who was bathed in the golden sunlight, smiling beautifully at the little ginseng, his heart, which had not been throbbing for thousands of years, suddenly jumped violently.
Letting the little ginseng spirit go, Xu Xian continued to follow Bai Zhen down the mountain, and said to him with admiration: "I didn't expect that the goblins still have a lot of love and righteousness. I just gave some candy in exchange for their kindness. It's a bit of a shame." Excuse me."
"Monsters have demon ways. Although there are indeed some scum, they seldom use all kinds of hypocritical methods to cover up their goals like human beings. If they are good, they will be good or bad. If you have a favor, you will repay it. Don't let it go."
What Bai Zhen said meant something, and Xu Xian soon realized that he was talking about his own affairs. After all, the White Snake went down the mountain to repay his kindness.
"Actually, when some people do something, their purpose is not to repay the other party, but because they want to do so, and they don't ask for the other party's repayment." Xu Xian still felt a little guilty after all. It's just a ghost that came from modern time travel, it's not Xu Xian himself, Bai Zhen may have found the wrong benefactor.
He also didn't want to accept this kindness that shouldn't belong to him.
"You literati often say that the kindness of a drop of water should be repaid by a spring. Once the cause is planted, there will be a corresponding fruit. You can't just go there without a plan." Bai Zhen looked into Xu Xian's eyes and said seriously .
Xu Xian and him looked at each other for a while, then suddenly shook his head helplessly: "Okay, I can't say no to you, so let's go down the mountain, Great Xia Bai?"
The two ended the conversation just now, and walked down the mountain, "Be careful." Bai Zhen held his hand in front as usual, reminding him softly.
Xu Xian's harvest this time is very rich, and he thinks it's all thanks to Bai Zhen, because many difficult-to-digging herbs were discovered and pointed out by Bai Zhen, "After two days, I will treat you to dinner."
Bai Zhen was in a good mood and smiled, "Okay."
The two rushed back to Xinglin Garden before evening, Doctor Lin saw the two came back as soon as he looked up, and happily came over: Are you back?What have you dug up? "
Xu Xian showed all the treasures in the basket to his master. Dr. Lin was very happy, and praised Xu Xian for doing a good job this time, and even specially gave him a day off.
Xu Xian was indeed a little tired. He still had some wild ginseng for his sister and brother-in-law in his pocket. He wanted to go back and make tea for them, so he said a few words to Dr. Lin and dragged Bai Zhen away.Bai Zhen stayed with Xu Xian for two days and one night, and suddenly he didn't want to separate from him like this, but he also knew that he had no reason to keep each other, so he stood at the door of his house and said goodbye to him.
"You should rest well when you go home. Thanks to you, I was able to travel smoothly this time. Now I believe that there are real monsters on that mountain." Xu Xian thanked Bai Zhen sincerely.
In fact, there are no evil spirits on that mountain, because there is an earth fairy guarding it, and there are some mild-tempered little spirits in the mountain, and there are no big monsters.There would definitely be no danger for Xu Xian to go up the mountain next time, but Bai Zhen didn't intend to tell him the truth out of his own selfishness. He just smiled and nodded and made an appointment to go next time, then went home and closed the door.
After parting with Bai Zhen, Xu Xian hummed the Song of Scallions and went straight home. I didn't see my sister for two days, and I didn't hear her angrily inserting her waist to scold him. I really miss her a little.
"Sister! I'm back!" Xu Xian yelled loudly as soon as he opened the door of his familiar home.
Xu Jiaorong came out of the room, saw that he was back and greeted him; "Han Wen, are you back?"
"Yes, I brought you and brother-in-law some good things!" Xu Xian said excitedly.
At this moment, another person came out from the room, and when he saw Xu Xian, he came over with a smile: "Oh, isn't this the young master of the Xu family? Sure enough, he is handsome and charming. Sister Xu, you are so lucky!"
Xu Jiaorong smiled and said a few polite words to her, Xu Xian thought this was a guest at home, so she greeted politely: "Hello, auntie."
Unexpectedly, when the fat woman saw him smiling and talking to herself, she praised him even more enthusiastically, and opened her mouth to spit out those free compliments, which made Xu Xian almost unable to stand up.
"That's fine, I'll go first, you have to think about what sister Xu I told you, it's a good thing!"
"Go slowly, ma'am, I will think about it carefully." Xu Jiaorong nodded repeatedly and sent the person to the door, and after a long exchange of pleasantries, she sent the enthusiastic fat woman away.
Xu Xian had never seen this person before, and when his sister came back, he went up to him and asked, "Sister, who is that person? I didn't see any relationship with you before."
"That's a matchmaker." Xu Jiaorong replied, "Go inside and tell me."
matchmaker?
Xu Xian followed her into the house with some confusion, and after thinking for a while, he said, "No, sister, I haven't seen a matchmaker from our house since you got married, so who is she here to say kiss?"
Xu Jiaorong glared at him: "You are really stupid to say you are stupid! Who else is there in our family except you who have not yet asked for a wife!"
Xu Xian slapped his hands, and his whole body was not well.
He has been in this world for ten years. Although he has given up thinking about going back, he still has a little bit of expectation in his heart, that he may be able to go back someday, so he has been burying the important matters of marriage in his heart and throwing them away. In the back of his mind, he didn't want to harm the girl if he really went back one day.
Besides, he is obviously more interested in medicine than girls, and he hasn't met anyone he likes so far, and he doesn't really want to get married hastily.
Xu Jiaorong sighed: "It was also my negligence. I always felt that you were too young to start a family, but in a blink of an eye you were eighteen. If it weren't for the fact that our family was poor after studying a few years ago, I should have married you a daughter-in-law a long time ago." Live it, alas."
"Don't! Don't! I don't want to get married, sister." Xu Xian said quickly.
"Nonsense! You won't get married? If you don't get married, are you dependent on your sister for the rest of your life!" Xu Jiaorong patted the table.
"Let's just hang on, my sister will give me something to eat anyway." Xu Xian jokingly rubbed over.
Xu Jiaorong stretched out a hand to poke his forehead: "I just know how to eat! You are so stupid, how can there be a girl who likes you?"
Xu Xian rubbed the poked forehead, looked at his sister's pensive expression and sighed.
He really hadn't thought about getting married.
