On the second and third days, there were more rumors in the village.

In fact, at this time, I rarely go out.

Pei Yuanxiu has been staying in my house. Although there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine in Jixiang Village, which is not good for his recovery, his injury is on the heart. The doctor ordered him to rest for at least five days, let alone crossing the river by boat.

After all the jolts and fatigue, if the wound opens, there may be no way to save it.

Therefore, Pei Yuanxiu has been staying in my house, but he has occupied Susu's bed. It is not possible for me, Susu, and Li'er to squeeze into the back room. There are many people in the family, and it is not suitable to recuperate with him. Yao Lao is at the head of the village.

I rented a large house and asked Li'er and Su Su to go there to rest at night. During the day, he and Su Su would come over to take care of Pei Yuanxiu's injuries and my life.

More often than not, Pei Yuanxiu and I are the only two people left at home.

In fact, I still believe that the people in Jixiang Village don't have too many malicious intentions, but when things get to this point, they can't let them think about it. A man and a widow live in the same room like this, plus the "misdeeds" I have done in the past, so that

It’s hard not to have random thoughts.

It's just that the time spent behind closed doors is not as unbearable as some unscrupulous people think. I sleep in the inner room and he sleeps outside, and we live in peace. But I usually stay up all night and stare with empty eyes.

Sometimes I stare at the dark roof above my head for most of the night, until the morning light peeks out of the window and slowly illuminates the room.

But it can’t light up my eyes.

I don’t know how I survived.

But the days actually just passed by like this.

He is young after all, and young people have good health. In addition, Yao Lao has excellent medical skills and precise medication. After two days, he can basically eat some soft soup and porridge. After four or five days, he can already turn over in bed, or slowly

He sat up. On the seventh day, he sat on the edge of the bed and stood up slowly while holding on to the bedpost.

I was walking in with a bowl of hot soup. When I saw him like this, I was shocked: "Why are you getting up?!"

There was still some sweat on his forehead. He raised his head and looked at me. His face was red from exertion and endurance, but his lips were bitten white by his teeth. He pretended to smile casually: "It's okay."

"Yao Lao said that you should rest for two more days before getting out of bed. What if the wound opens if you act like this?"

As I spoke, I put the soup bowl on the table and hurriedly came over to help him. He panted slightly, but still smiled: "I know my body. He is too careful."

"You are injured here, you should have been careful!"

As I said this, I wanted to help him back to bed to rest, but he still refused. I didn't dare to force him, so I could only follow his footsteps and help him walk to the table and sit down.

However, although he was breathing heavily, he showed no signs of illness.

When he was breathing evenly, I let go of my hand on his back, and saw that his face seemed to be more rosy than the previous few days, and even his lips had some blood color, which looked better than mine.

Some. It looked like he was fine, so I felt a little relieved, so I took the soup bowl that I had put on the table and said, "Don't move in a hurry. The injury needs to be healed in case it breaks."

It’s going to be difficult. Come on, let’s have something to eat first.”

In the bowl is the medicinal soup and rice that I made. I soaked the rice grains in water until soft, chopped them into pieces with a knife, and then simmered them with the medicinal soup in a casserole until it became a pulpy soup and rice.

He could only drink soup and some gruel in the past few days. Yao Lao said that he was almost recovered and could eat some soup and rice, so he specially made this for him.

Just scooped it up from the casserole, the soup was still piping hot. I took a spoonful and blew it gently to cool it down, then put it to his mouth.

Pei Yuanxiu lowered his head to look at the steaming soup and rice, then raised his head to look at me. His eyes were crooked, and he obediently opened his mouth to take a bite. After finishing the meal, he smacked his lips, as if after recollection:

"Oh, so sweet."

I smiled faintly, lowered my head and continued to cool him down, saying: "Put in the Codonopsis pilosula."

After saying that, he scooped up half a spoonful of rice soup and put it to his mouth.

One of us fed and the other ate, it was quiet and harmonious. He was also very well-behaved. He didn't seem to think it was embarrassing for a grown man to be fed spoon by spoon like this. Besides, the door was still open.

, the attendants outside could see it as soon as they turned their heads, and they finished the bowl of soup and rice in a short time.

I asked him: "Do you want more?"

He smiled and shook his head.

I took out a handkerchief and handed it to him. He took it and wiped the corners of his mouth carefully. Suddenly, he sighed.

I was about to collect the bowls and spoons and take them back to the kitchen. When I heard this sigh, I looked up and saw him wiping the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, but his eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if there was something difficult to understand, so he asked: "

What's wrong?"

"I have one thing now that I find difficult to choose."

"Choose?"

My heart moved, so I sat back and looked at him: "What is so difficult to choose?"

"I always wanted to get better earlier, because if I get better one day earlier, I can be with you earlier. But now, I don't want to get better so quickly." He said, putting down the handkerchief covering the corner of his mouth, revealing

He lifted the curve of the corner of his mouth and said to me with a smile: "I'm afraid I'll get better too quickly, and I won't be able to enjoy this kind of privilege a few times."

"..."

I just felt like I couldn't take a breath and almost choked it. But when I looked at him, he looked at me with a bright smile, as if a child had succeeded in a prank. I didn't know whether I should be angry or laugh.<

/p>

Fortunately, I thought he would have some new views on the current situation. Who knows, he actually pretended to be serious and lied to me...

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glare at him, picked up the dishes and stood up to walk away.

"Hey!" He was in a hurry and reached out to grab my wrist. I was pulled back by him, but I turned around and met his smiling eyes: "Why, are you angry?"

I didn't speak, and I didn't know what to say to him like this. I just pulled up my sleeves and wanted to leave. However, this man seemed to take me seriously. He grabbed me and refused to let me go. He pulled and pulled me.

I forgot to control my strength, and suddenly heard him say "um", and saw his face change, and he bent over while holding his chest.

I was frightened and hurriedly walked over to help him: "What's wrong with you?"

"..."

"Did the wound open? Really?!"

He didn't speak, but sweat broke out on his forehead again. He bit his lower lip and froze for a long time. Then he finally took a breath, panted slightly, looked up at me, and smiled a little: "Forget it, I think

I'd better be early."

"..." I was a little dumbfounded. This man was really so unruly when his life and death was at stake. I remember that even when Yao Lao pulled out the arrow for him that day, he was still joking with me. Thinking of this,

I was too lazy to be serious with him, so I just smiled and asked him: "Oh, why do you want to go earlier now?"

He looked into my eyes and said seriously: "I think as long as I am with you, I can enjoy such privileges no matter how sick I am."

"..."

"Right?"

"..."

I am speechless again.

Until now, I can't tell when he is true and when he is false, or maybe he has been telling me his truth in such a teasing and teasing way, which always makes me forget to resist.

I can't resist.

Looking at his serious eyes, I felt confused for a moment. I lowered my head to avoid his gaze and said softly: "Stop talking nonsense. How can anyone curse themselves like this?"
p>

"..."

"You are such an old person, you should be a little taboo about what you say."

After saying that, I hurriedly put away the dishes on the table and wanted to walk away, but he grabbed my wrist again. This time, I didn't dare to pull with him, and he didn't use much force.

The temperature in the palm of my hand tells me that this time, it is not a joke.

Maybe, it was never a joke.

I didn't look back, I just turned sideways to face him, but I could still feel his gaze. When he raised his head and looked at me, his curved eyes were gentle, but also solemn.

He said seriously: "Qingying, I'm serious."

"..."

"If I can get you, it doesn't matter even if God shortens my life by ten years."

I was shocked and looked back at him.

He was still smiling, but in that smile, it was clear that it was no longer the teasing and teasing just now, but more like a promise worth a thousand dollars, with no regrets.

I just felt that my heart was heavy, a little more serious than the arrow wound he suffered. I choked for a long time and finally said: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

He looked at me: "Do you still think I'm joking with you?"

"..."

I froze for a while, then slowly turned back to look at him: "Is it worth it?"

He still smiled and nodded: "It's worth it."

Just two simple words, not even said too loudly, but they stabbed hard in my heart, making the melancholy, fear, and persistence these days seem like a joke in front of these two words.

.I suddenly understood from these two words. From the moment he woke up to now, he has been confessing his love to me all the time, even the way he looked at me. It was not that he was impatient, but that in this relationship, he had never been

From the beginning, I had no intention of looking back.
