A scheming first love dressed as a school grass

Walking to the place mentioned by the first old Chinese doctor, Xu Mi searched and found the medicinal herb behind a big rock on the shady slope.This is where the old Chinese doctor slipped and fell, and the traces were covered by heavy snow.

The slope is very trembling, and you have to hold the edge of the big rock and try your best to pick it up. You can't pick it with brute force with your hands, and you must ensure the integrity of the roots.

Xu Mi took out the rope he brought, tied one end around his waist, and tied the other end to a big tree not far away, and asked the elder brother of the villager to help him watch.

Carefully climbing the stone with his left hand, and holding a medicine hoe with his right hand, he dug up the snow-mixed soil near the herb, and slowly approached its root system.

The movement is very difficult, especially the rope tied around the waist, because of the weight, it hurts.But it couldn't be soon, the temperature was a few degrees below zero, and beads of sweat appeared on Xu Mi's forehead.I didn't dare to wear gloves in order to collect herbs on my hands, and it hurts from the cold at this time.

Finally, almost all the roots of the herb were exposed. Xu Mi stretched out his hand and pulled it lightly, and picked it off, with a relaxed smile on the corner of his mouth.He shouted behind him: "Brother, you can pull the rope!"

As soon as the words fell, the pulling force on his body was obvious. Xu Mi stepped back along the force, not wanting to slip under his feet, and his figure was crooked. Thanks to his elder brother who increased his strength, he didn't fall down.

"Xiao Xu, are you okay?"

The eldest brother loosened the rope and came over to care.

Xu Mi shook her head, she seemed to have heard a slight sound just now, and her ankle sprained, but it didn't feel very painful, so she didn't care.

Putting the collected herbs into the small basket in his hand, Xu Mi followed his memory and continued to search in the mountains.

At this time, Qi Yao was sitting at the dinner table, looking at the old Chinese doctor.

"Why, don't you eat?"

The old Chinese doctor took a bite of his meal and looked at Qi Yao with a smile hidden deep in his eyes.

Qi Yao looked in the direction of the door, was silent, and left after eating quietly.I found a few miscellaneous books in the study of the old Chinese doctor and read them.

After a while, he put down his book and went to the yard.

Recently, the old Chinese doctor is not in good health, the business of seeing a doctor is suspended, and the door is even more deserted.

In the courtyard, apart from the faint smell of Chinese medicine and the cold west wind, only Qi Yao was sitting at the base of the wall, looking out of the courtyard with empty eyes.

The old Chinese doctor looked out of the window, feeling that young people really can make troubles.

"Xiao Xu, it's noon, let's take a rest."

The elder brother rubbed his hands together, and brought Xu Mi to a small wooden cabin. The cabin looked very dilapidated, and there were piles of wood and other sundries inside.

"This was a temporary foothold set up by hunters in the mountains in the early years. Now that hunting wild animals is illegal, no one does this work, so it is empty. Villagers occasionally go up the mountain to chop firewood and pick fungi. When the weather is bad, they come here. Rest."

The eldest brother took the initiative to explain, and took out the thermos cup from his bag, poured out a lid and handed it to Xu Mi.

"Thank you brother, I brought it." Xu Mi took out the thermos, refused with a smile, and took out the dry food to share.

The eldest brother did not refuse, took the scallion pancake and ate it, "The craftsmanship is not bad, did you make it yourself?"

Xu Mi nodded, and began to eat herself.It's time for Qi Yao and the others to have lunch. I don't know if it's going well. Did Qi Yao ask about his whereabouts?

"I know that Dr. Xu is good at seeing a doctor, but he is not good at cooking. My family made delicious food and sent it to him. It is uncomfortable to see what is on his table. It is also difficult for him to live alone for so many years."

The eldest brother said with a smile.

Xu Mi's heart moved, and he asked curiously: "Dr. Xu has never married a wife and had children?"

After getting along all morning, the two also got closer. The eldest brother approached mysteriously and lowered his voice, "I tell you, don't let Dr. Xu know about it later."

Xu Mi gave him a reassuring look.

"Doctor Xu, he likes men. Back then, the mayor's daughter wanted to marry him, but she didn't agree. She stayed with the male educated youth who went to the countryside together."

The eldest brother swallowed his food, took a sip of water and continued: "At that time, the atmosphere was not as open as it is now. He was arrested and raped, and forced to stop. After the policy came down, that person returned to the city, and Doctor Xu stayed here. .”

"The person he likes is in Qianshan County?"

Xu Mi guessed, otherwise there would be no reason to leave home and stay here.

"Then I don't know. It's been too long, and many people are gone. We don't have to ask about people's sad things, right? We can listen to them." The eldest brother finished his last bite and said with a smile, "I'll take a nap for a while , you call me for hours."

"it is good."

Xu Mi was also leaning on a pile of firewood, half lying down, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

The old Chinese doctor found two kinds of medicines listed, and there are two left to look for.The mountain road was slippery and covered with snow, so the search was not very smooth. Xu Mi was ready to continue next time.

I don't feel it when I walk, but I feel a sharp pain in my ankle when I lie down.

Xu Mi frowned and got up, went to sit by the door, took off her shoes and socks, looked at the red and swollen circle, poked it, it hurt.

Now is not the time to be afraid of pain, and it may not be smoother next time.After thinking about it, I grabbed snow and covered my ankles, accompanied by massage to reduce swelling, and so on and on.

The elder brother opened his eyes and saw this scene, and asked worriedly: "Xiao Xu, can we go now, or go back first?"

"It's okay, it just looks serious." Xu Mi smiled, wiped off the snow on her feet, and put on her shoes and socks again.

"It's all here, you still have to walk down the mountain, let's continue, brother."

Xu Mi got up and shook his legs, and said with a smile.After the cold compress massage, it did feel much better, and I didn't feel any pain. Of course, it may be numb from the cold.

The elder brother hesitated for a while, but seeing his relaxed expression, he still agreed.

After wandering around in the general direction for a while, Xu Mi squatted down to check many times, but nothing happened.

"Hey Xiao Xu, look at this one, right, the one with sharp leaves."

The elder brother not far away shouted.

Xu Mi didn't have any hope, so he went over to see that it was true.

"Brother, you have really good eyesight!"

Xu Mi happily took out his tools and started digging.It is convenient to grow on flat ground.

"hiss......"

Before he had time to be happy for too long, Xu Mi's palm was cut wide near his wrist, and for some reason there was a piece of glass shards on the ground, which was buried upright in the snow and could not be seen clearly.

"Brother, please go to my bag and take the Band-Aid."

Xu Mi spread his hands calmly, and with the other hand he used a small hoe to dig out the glass shards.

"Ah, fine."

The eldest brother didn't react for a while, so he hurried to behind him, opened the backpack and rummaged through it.

After putting a bandage on the wound, Xu Mi carefully wrapped the glass shards tightly with toilet paper and put them in the garbage bag in his backpack.

"Xiao Xu, didn't you read the almanac when you went out today?"

The eldest brother joked.

"Maybe hahaha, big brother, there is only one kind of difference, let's continue."

Xu Mi smiled and said, just as he got up, his face was scratched by a branch with thorns.

"Brother, it seems that it is really not suitable to go out today, so I will trouble you again."

Xu Mi smiled wryly, the idea of ​​wearing a band-aid was temporary, but he didn't expect it to be of great use.

The eldest brother laughed, and took it out of his pocket, "I didn't put it back at all, I didn't expect to use it again so soon, Xiao Xu, really be careful."

"Yes, yes, haha."

Xu Mishen took it for granted, and walked a lot slower, just one step away. It wasn't too late, and he wasn't in a hurry.

It was really not easy to find this medicine. First, the old Chinese doctor fell, and then he sprained his foot and scratched it.Qi Yao is the son of true destiny, with a lot of luck and disasters, and even the people around him have also been tortured.Xu Mi thought bitterly, he could make a similar character design later, it would definitely be cool to write.

After an unknown amount of time, the cold wind howled in the mountains, the sky turned dark, and scattered snowflakes fell.

"It's snowing, and it's not too early for Xiao Xu, so I have to go down the mountain."

Big Brother said.

Xu Mi glanced at the time, it was just 04:30, "Brother, let's take a look again, you are familiar with this place, so it should be okay if you are later?"

"That's true, it's not easy to come here, and then look for it."

After dinner, Qi Yao sat in the living room, frowning as he watched the heavy snow blowing like goose feathers outside.

Even by the fire, the living room was extremely cold, and the wind poured in through the wide-open door, which had wet marks where snow had been blown in and melted.

Where is Xu Mi?Didn't you say that you won't leave without saying goodbye, and you want to get better with him?

Frowning and thinking, he couldn't figure out where else he could go here.Have you returned to City S?Impossible, it will be exposed when you return.

He was not around, and the food he ate was all his craftsmanship, so he should have left temporarily for something?The old Chinese doctor must know, do you want to ask?

There was a "bang" sound outside, and it was the wooden shelf where the medicinal materials were dried before being blown down.

Qi Yao didn't think about it anymore, and pushed the wheelchair to the old Chinese doctor's room.

"Where is Xu Mi, where did he go?"

Qi Yao said lightly.

"You don't know? I went into the mountain early in the morning." The old Chinese doctor said deliberately, "Counting the time, it's time to come back."

In the mountains, Xu Mi rubbed his aching waist and followed his elder brother back with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Fortunately, Hei Tian found the last medicinal material just now, and this trip was considered complete.

"Xiao Xu, you are really good. You have been wandering in the mountains for a day." The elder brother said with emotion, "When you go back, remember to drink ginger soup to drive away the cold, take a bath in hot water, doctor Xu has a prescription, and wrap up a thick quilt to sleep warmly , don’t get sick.”

"Understood, thank you, brother."

Enduring the pain, Xu Mi said slowly, the last fall really hurt all over his body, no matter how careful he was, he still fell. Fortunately, there was something to gain, and it was not a wasteful fall.

"This snow monster is huge, abnormal."

The eldest brother muttered, feeling a little uneasy.

"Xiao Xu, be careful, the snow is falling too much, it's not normal, follow me closely."

The eldest brother exhorted.

"it is good."

Xu Mi leaned on a cane and kept up with his eldest brother.

Looking at the large crystal snowflakes, I have no idea of ​​admiring them. It snows too frequently here, unlike S City, which rarely sees snow once a year.

It was pitch black in the mountains, only a small area of ​​light from the flashlight.

"Xiao Xu, don't panic, big brother will tell you a story..."

The eldest brother told him the local folk tales as he walked, such as mountain spirits and ghosts.

Some stories, when combined with a specific environment, are particularly terrifying.

The night wind was desolate, the trees were full of shadows, and there were sounds of various small animals.

Xu Mi flinched, not knowing whether it was cold or frightened, "Brother, brother, let's talk about something else."

"okay."

The eldest brother was excited to tell another story, but his voice gradually died down, "Hey, Xiao Xu, why don't you talk? Are you tired...?"

Looking back, there is no boy there.

The elder brother of the villager panicked, shouted and looked for him, but he didn't see anyone.It's not good to hesitate any longer, the elder brother of the villager went down the mountain to ask someone to come with him.

Xu Mi walked behind the eldest brother, listening to him tell a story, unexpectedly slipped and fell, and fell into a pit before he could shout.

He vaguely heard the elder brother's shout, and he was not heard in response.

The hole was not deep, it should have been dug by hunters in the past to catch prey. Xu Mi stood up to the upper part of his lower abdomen, close to his chest.

It's not deep, because the walls of the pit are slippery, and it's not easy to climb up, let alone Xu Mi's current injuries.

Sitting flat at the bottom of the pit, Xu Mi took out his mobile phone and was about to call for help, but the phone froze to death.

Burying his head on his knees, Xu Mi was speechless for a while, is today his Mercury retrograde day?

The pit was damp, and Xu Mi couldn't bear it after a while.

How to climb up is also a problem.

His backpack fell down with him, Xu Mi thought for a while, it seems that only the glass fragments he picked up can be used.

Holding one end of the glass block with toilet paper, the tip was chiseled on the wall of the pit, slowly digging a hole where he could reach with his legs up.

After struggling for a long time, I climbed out.

He just breathed a sigh of relief and found that in the pitch blackness, he didn't even know where he was.

Picking up a stick casually, Xu Mi fumbled to find a shelter from the wind, sat down and waited.According to memory, the distance he fell should not be too far, and the eldest brother will find someone to find him.

Wrapped tightly in the big padded jacket, Xu Mi leaned against the hillside and shrunk himself into a ball.Cold and painful, and the medicine was lost, Xu Mi's heart felt astringent, and he had the urge to cry.

"Doctor Xu, Doctor Xu, it's not good!"

The eldest brother who brought Xu Mi into the mountain hurried to the old Chinese doctor and told them about Xu Mi's loss.

"Now it's snowing heavily, and it's late, and I haven't called many people, alas."

The eldest brother was anxious and helpless.

After hearing the news, Qi Yao was silent for a while, "Please go and look for it first, and I'll call someone later."

After the villagers left, the old Chinese doctor looked at Qi Yao seriously: "Are you sure? It's not fun to be discovered."

"Sure, I know what I'm doing."

With a firm tone, Qi Yao dialed the number that he hadn't contacted for a long time.

I don't know how much time has passed, Xu Mi opened his eyes drowsily, and the sky was slightly bright.He seemed to be frozen all over, and one side of his body was numb, but no one found him.

After a while, Xu Mi regained consciousness, struggled to get up, and limped around looking for it.

From the big pit up to the surrounding area, he scraped through the snow covered bit by bit to search.

My hands were sore and itchy, my legs seemed to be filled with lead, or stabbed with steel needles.

One, two, three, the last one left.

Xu Mi was so tired that he knelt down on the ground and bent over to search. There were traces left by him all around, some were covered by heavy snow again, and some were still left and were about to be covered.

In a trance, I heard the "rustling" sound of feet stepping on the snow.

Xu Mi happened to find the last medicinal herb, and when he looked up, it was Qi Yao.

Xu Mi looked at him with a smile: "You are here, I have found it!"

He raised the medicinal herb in his hand, his smile was as bright as the sun, and his eyes were as bright as stars shining in them.

He was obviously covered in pain, but when he saw him, he just smiled, and he was the only one in the clear eyes.

Qi Yao met his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.That's how he came over one night?The deep and shallow ones on the snow are all traces left by him.

why?

Seeing him like this, Qi Yao was silent for a while, and asked him: "For me, did you kneel all night? Is this what you call a friend? You are so dedicated and dedicated to every friend and collaborator. ? Xu Mi, you are so kind."

Xu Mi's smile froze a little bit, looking at his indifferent face and thin lips parted and closed, she couldn't help asking herself, are they really friends?

The pain in his body reminded him of the difficulty of finding medicine along the way.For a friend who has only known each other for half a year and is about to part ways, he can do this. Is this still him?Since when was he such a kind and warm-hearted person?Has he ever done this for other friends?

If it is said that the companionship and care before was for survival, what is it for today when everything has been made clear?Why is he willing to give, even disregarding his own body?

friend?Peace of mind?Beginning and end?These reasons don't seem to be strong enough.

The answer is obvious.Some repressed and hidden things are finally exposed to the sun, and people have to face them squarely.

Xu Mi's originally pale face turned even paler, and his heart seemed to be firmly grasped by an invisible hand, with panic and pain.

What the hell is he doing?

"Why, dare not answer? Or, acquiesced?"

Qi Yao looked at him with a sneer, pushed the wheelchair closer, and leaned over.

The four eyes meet each other, and the bodies are very close, but no one can see the other clearly.
