They say it's sick

Chapter 34

When Chen Jin's voice came from outside, Yun Zhi was staring at the pots and pans that needed to be cleaned and the messy kitchen in a daze——

Li Yan had just cooked the noodles hard, and he was still sick, so Yun Zhi almost patted his chest and drove him outside to enjoy the cool, and came back with his sleeves rolled up, but he didn't know where to start.

So Chen Jin came back very timely.

Thinking of this, without any hesitation, Yun Zhi put down her cuffs, turned around and walked out of the kitchen door: "Chen Jin..."

Before he finished speaking, he frowned when he saw the person behind Chen Jin's back, "What's going on?"

Chen Jin put the little drug boy on the stone bench in the yard, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and explained: "There is a tree hole in the forest, he didn't see it, stepped in and twisted his foot."

Li Yan, who was enjoying the shade at the door of the kitchen, came over with a lantern, and saw the red and swollen eyes of the little drug boy: "Is it serious?"

"It's not serious..." Chen Jin replied before the little drug boy opened his mouth, "It's not serious, I just reset the position of the dislocated ankle, I'll apply some medicinal wine later and let the swelling disappear for a few days."

Although Chen Jin doesn't seem very reliable on weekdays, after all, he has been practicing martial arts all year round, and he has long been accustomed to injuries from bruises. He said that if it is not serious, it is not a serious problem, but...

Yun Zhi glanced at him, and then at the little drug boy who was full of grievances and the driver who was hesitant to speak. It seemed that Chen Jin's method of resetting his ankle was too simple, which shocked the two present.

Yun Zhi squatted down and touched the Yaoboy's ankle, then nodded, and defended Chen Jin: "It's really nothing, he is reliable in this kind of thing."

"I know..." The little drug boy sniffled, lowered his head and rubbed the red and swollen ankle, "I couldn't hold back the pain just now."

Yun Zhi laughed, and patted him on the shoulder lightly: "I have medicinal wine in my room, and I will bring it to you later, go back to your room."

"Thank you Mr. Yun, I also have medicinal wine in my room, so you don't need to bother..." The little drug boy thanked him, and when he was about to get up, he suddenly thought of something, "I will decoct the master's medicine first..."

"Don't worry..." Yunzhi reached out and pressed his left shoulder, "I'm here..."

Almost at the same time, Li Yan pressed the little Yaotong's right shoulder: "I will do it myself."

The two looked at each other, looking at each other's hand almost at the same time.

Li Yan touched his nose, and motioned to the driver next to him: "Send him back to rest."

The little drug boy hadn't come back to his senses, and was already helped up by the coachman. He looked at Li Yan, and then at Yunzhi, and the injury on his ankle was indeed still hurting, so he stopped insisting and helped the coachman He hopped on his arms and walked towards the room.

Seeing the little drug boy walking away, Li Yan turned around and glanced at Chen Jin, and then said to Yun Zhi: "The medicine is in his room, I'll get it."

Yun Zhi nodded: "I'll go light the fire and decoct the medicine later."

Li Yan bent his eyes, and he was not polite: "Okay..."

Then he turned around and walked towards the little drug boy's room.

Yun Zhi kept watching Li Yan enter the door, then turned around and looked at Chen Jin who was resting on the stone bench: "Are you hungry?"

"It's a bit..." Chen Jin rubbed his stomach, then glanced at the kitchen, "I just saw you came out of it, did you have something to eat?"

"Li Yan just rolled out the noodles, and there is still leftover, cook it by yourself..." Yun Zhi said, "Wash the pot and bowl after eating."

Chen Jin looked up at him: "Then what are you doing?"

"Me?" Yun Zhi got up and walked to the kitchen, "I told you to make a fire and decoct medicine."

"what?"

Chen Jin watched him in disbelief as he entered the kitchen, and when he came out again, he was holding a clay stove that was not too big in his hand. After finding a place and setting it up, he got up to pick up firewood again, only then did he really believe that he was not joking.

Chen Jin's expression became complicated, and he said after a long time: "You are really kind to that sick child!"

"Hmm..." Yun Zhi didn't deny it, and asked while stuffing the firewood into the clay oven, "It's been so long since I came back, how far is the mountain spring?"

"Fortunately, the main reason is that they walked slowly..." Chen Jin said, "Afterwards, it was going to be dark, and the Taoist leader who led the way came back first, and we walked around the back mountain, and saw fireflies, that little medicine boy If you like it, let’s play for a while.”

"Firefly?" Yun Zhi's hand to grab the flint stopped in mid-air, and looked up at Chen Jin.

"Yeah, fireflies..." Chen Jin looked at him strangely, "It's the kind of bug whose butt glows. We caught it when we were young, have you forgotten?"

"I haven't forgotten..." Yunzhi lowered her eyes, took out a flint and knocked it twice, and skillfully set it on fire, "Aren't you hungry?"

"Then I'll cook noodles..." Chen Jin got up lazily, and shuffled into the kitchen. He heard Yunzhi order from outside, "Cook more, and bring the two of them with you."

"Why are you nagging..." Chen Jin responded, "I know!"

When Li Yan took out the medicine, Yun Zhi had already lit the fire.

He was holding a cattail fan that he didn't know where he came from, squatting in front of the clay stove and fanning it slowly.

The sky was dark, and the light from the lantern was very dim, but it shrouded this person with a faint halo, which was extraordinarily gentle.

Probably because she heard footsteps but no one was coming, Yun Zhi raised her head: "What's wrong?"

Li Yan looked down at the medicine bag in his hand, and shook his head lightly: "It's okay..."

Then he walked past Yunzhi and went into the kitchen to get the pot for boiling medicine.

The medicinal materials are all prepared before departure, poured into the pot, add water and put it on the stove, and the rest is guarded in front of the stove, which is much easier for Yunzhi than rolling noodles.

He shook his cattail fan carelessly, and looked up at the sky.

The Taoist temple has a very good terrain, and on such a clear summer night, you can clearly see the full moon above your head.

The evening breeze blew gently, and the bitter medicinal fragrance permeated the night sky. There was a faint sound of insects in the woods behind the mountain. It was obviously an annoying sound, but Yun Zhi didn't feel it.I even felt that this voice added a bit of leisure to this summer night.

It seems that he has not had such a leisurely time for a long time, there is no bloody storm on the battlefield, and there is no open and secret struggle in the court, only...

Yun Zhi looked sideways, and Li Yan beside him was staring intently at the clay stove, his cheeks were faintly red against the firelight.

Maybe many years later, when recalling the time in the capital, those temptations and pretense will not be the first thing that pops up in Yunzhi's mind.It was this summer night with the smell of medicine, and the boy sitting beside him.

For Li Yan, decocting medicine is a matter of convenience, and drinking medicine is even easier.

But when he held the medicine that Yun Zhi had just poured, and the bitter taste of the juice lingered in his breath, he unconsciously remembered the candied fruit that was stuffed into his mouth the day before.

So he raised his head and looked at Yunzhi.

Yun Zhi's eyes met his, and he was so blessed that he understood what he meant immediately.

"It's too hasty, I didn't prepare candied fruit..." Yunzhi looked at those eyes that seemed to dim in an instant, and smiled, "I'll take you somewhere after you finish drinking."

Li Yan secretly spurned his hypocrisy in his heart, obviously he hadn't been afraid of a bit of bitterness in the past ten years, but after tasting the sweetness once, he couldn't help but look forward to more.

He lowered his eyes slightly, picked up the medicine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, before the sour bitterness in his mouth dissipated, he asked, "Where are you going?"

Yun Zhi handed over the water that he had prepared earlier: "Chen Jin just said that there is a firefly in the woods behind the mountain, and it will take a short walk, do you want to see it?"

Li Yan took the water and nodded without any hesitation: "Go..."

As the night deepened, even the worms that had been tirelessly screaming before became quiet, and the mountains and forests were quiet, but there were two teenagers walking forward with a lantern.

The mountains are deep and the forests are dense. Fortunately, Taoist priests used to move around here and stepped on a small path.

Li Yan and Yun Zhi, one grew up in the village and used to go up mountains and rivers, and the other has practiced martial arts all year round. It is not too strenuous to walk this way. Become shadowy, every step must be careful.

Li Yan followed behind Yun Zhi, looking at the figure, he was in a daze for a moment.

In fact, he had seen fireflies too, and it seemed that Li Gui drank wine on a summer night.After whining and name-calling, for an inexplicable reason, hands-on.

Although Li Yan had grown up a lot at that time, he was no match for Li Gui who had been in the army, so he ran out of the house and into the woods outside the village.

Then I saw a firefly.

What were you thinking at that time?Li Yan tried his best to think back, probably when Li Gui would fall asleep, whether he should go home at night, or where he would spend the night.

He never thought that one day he would run to this barren mountain and wild forest at night without threatening his life or looking for food or medicinal materials.

Just to see some glowing bugs that he never cared about before.

Life is really full of unexpected.

Probably because his thoughts were wandering, Li Yan accidentally stepped on a dead branch lying in the pile of fallen leaves while walking, and he staggered. Almost at the same time, a thin but powerful hand grabbed his wrist.

The summer night in the mountains and forests was slightly cool, and the temperature in the palm of that hand was almost scalding hot. Li Yan's mind went blank, and he stood there in a daze.

"Are you okay?" Yun Zhi kicked the dead branch away, raised the lantern and shone it on Li Yan's face.

Li Yan subconsciously turned his gaze away, avoiding the approaching face: "It's okay, luckily you gave me a hand."

After speaking, he couldn't help but look at the hand that was still resting on his wrist.

Yun Zhi glanced at his line of sight, then let go of her hand belatedly, and took the lantern in the other hand to illuminate the front: "It should be ahead, be careful."

Li Yan pretended not to feel the momentary loss in his heart, and nodded lightly: "Don't worry!"

Then he felt something tug on his cuff.

"Let's pull it..." Yunzhi pinched the small piece of fabric and shook Li Yan's arm slightly, "Although I can carry you back, you are still sick, so don't sprain it again."

Li Yan lowered his gaze, looking at the hand that touched the fabric.

"Okay..." He heard his own voice very softly, with a smile that he couldn't hide, "Let's go!"
