lanterns illuminate rivers and mountains

After a long time, Ye Zhen recalled his experience of cultivating in the Miao village, and the first thing he thought of was Kuisawachuan.

During that time, he even suspected that Heize might really plan to set up a camp in the wilderness, and he would accompany him as long as he practiced.

The first days were very difficult. Ye Zhen fell ill after coming out of the ice bed, with a fever and ignorance.Bao Weng boiled a thick green and sticky soup half a person tall, and the two amiable Miao sisters stripped off little classmate Ye Zhen and threw it into the pot with a smile.

Ye Zhen screamed in an instant, and crawled out of the pot desperately: "Hot——! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot, hot——!!!"

Bao Weng pushed him down into the soup, and said with a wooden face: "Stay here! What kind of soup do you think this is, even the Miao headmen may not be able to soak it!"

Ye Zhen's voice was hoarse when he had a fever, but this time he screamed even more heartbreakingly: "But it's so hot! Nima! Do you want to boil me, old man!!"

"Who do you call a stinky old man!" Bao Weng was angry, and suddenly pressed Ye Zhen's head into the soup: "It just needs to be scalded. The whole body's skin will be scalded to allow the herbs to go in, and then a new skin will grow! You Do you know how difficult it is to mix the marrow-washing grass, it may not be possible to make a complete medicine in 30 years!"

Ye Zhen struggled and raised his head: "Then you can cook me after 30 years, cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

"Don't be ignorant! One set of medicine can only cook one pot of soup, and you have to cook it four times in a row!"

Ye Zhen only felt that the sky was falling apart, and he howled ghostly, "Please let me out, it's really hot——! Nima, I'm getting cooked! Mom, take me home..."

Bao Weng asked coldly: "What about the revenge of your clansmen, will you not avenge it?"

"..." Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, and stopped struggling, only his dazed face could be seen in the hot air.

Bao Weng took the opportunity to press hard and pushed him whole into the soup, with only a few small bubbles gurgling.

When Ye Zhen came out after soaking the herbal medicine, the skin all over Ye Zhen's body was scalded, and there was hardly a piece of good skin visible.Maybe even Long Jiwei couldn't recognize his appearance at this time, it was completely a piece of cooked meat, with blisters and plaques everywhere.

Bao Weng instructed Miao Nu to prepare a pot of condensed green paste, Ye Zhen grabbed it and rubbed it on his body as soon as it came out of the pot.Miao Nu moved very quickly, and within a few minutes, he covered his whole body with a thick paste, and then wrapped it with a special linen cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed.

Now Ye Zhen looked like a mummy completely, and he could only make a whining sound when he cried out for pain.

Bao Weng rarely said objectively: "Well, maybe it does hurt a little bit, you can lie down on the bed."

Ye Zhen: "..."

Ye Zhen lay on the bed for half a month before taking off the gauze. During this period, his whole body was aching, itchy, numb, and hot, and finally he became numb. I didn't take a bath for half a month, and there was too much dirt on my body.

On the day when the gauze was removed, Miao Nu used a knife to pry open the herbal paste that had formed hard lumps on his body, frowned and covered her arms in disgust, and murmured a few words from time to time, Ye Zhen felt that they were complaining.When the last hard herbal shell fell to the ground, the Miao girls immediately rushed out, stood at the gate with their noses covered, and desperately signaled Ye Zhen to take a bath.

Ye Zhen was already numb from the smell on his body. Fortunately, the Miao girls brought a bucket of hot water into the room beforehand, so he slumped and thumped into it.

The hot water boiled with flowers and plants quickly dissolved the remaining herbs on his body, the pores of his whole body could breathe again, and his whole body was indescribably fresh and refreshing. Xiao Ye Zhen was moved to tears immediately...

Ye Zhen soaked three buckets of water, and finally went to the stream to wash it again with running water. When he came out, his skin was as translucent and tender as a newborn baby, and it was almost transparent under the sun, with no trace of burns at all.

Ye Zhen put on his clothes, tried to draw up his inner breath and walked around for a while, and was surprised to find that the meridians all over his body seemed to have been washed, and his true energy flowed as he wanted, without the slightly stagnant feeling under normal circumstances.

This is not easy, because under normal circumstances, no matter how proficient and smooth a person's inner breath is, there will always be a little bit of stagnation. It is a perfect body.No matter how good the congenital conditions are, acquired injuries, cold, heat, and internal deficiency will also cause damage to the meridians and lead to poor circulation of internal energy.

Ye Zhen held his breath smoothly, put his fingers together and gently inserted into the sand on the river bank.The mud was actually quite wet and hard, but his fingers were like cutting tofu with a knife, and it was easy to sink deep into the mud.

Ye Zhen is a master of acupoints, and immediately realized that this is because his internal breath is thick and smooth, so the internal force poured into his fingertips when acupoints are also stronger.

He was overjoyed immediately, and immediately felt that the pain of being burned all over his body and not being able to take a bath for half a month was really worth it.You must know that finger force has a great influence on the effect of acupoints. During the martial arts competition in Shandi's villa, Kuisawa just flicked on his three main acupoints to completely seal Ye Zhen's sea of ​​Qi; Ye Zhen tried his best to cut off the meridians of one of Kuisawa's arms. The attack was so heavy, but Kuisawa only rested for more than half a month before fully returning to normal!

After all, Ye Zhen was childish, he gritted his teeth when he thought of this incident, deeply felt that he was insulted, even the little good impression he had saved because of Kuisawa who fished him out of the ice bed suddenly disappeared.

Ye Zhen, who was tossed by the marrow-washing grass, began his days of running wildly in the mountains and plains of Miao Village.In addition to arranging a group of apprentices to practice with Ye Zhenxiao classmate day and night, Bao Weng also arranged a lot of physical training tasks for him, for example: "Thirteen, please help drive the sheep from the stockade to the back mountain to eat today." Grass, and then you run ten laps around the back mountain, and just drive the sheep back before the sun goes down..."

"Old man! You just want me to herd sheep, right! Running ten laps is just incidental, right?"

"Nonsense, herding sheep is also a technical job! You have to keep an eye on the sheep at all times, not to let a sheep fall behind, pay attention to whether there are wolves in the back mountain, and count the number of sheep before you leave. Is it correct... this exercise Your ability to focus! And focus! And focus!—did you think it was that easy?!"

"Old man, I might as well concentrate on counting how many beards you have..."

"Go, go, go! Not big or small!"

Ye Zhen then put on a straw hat, held a grass root in his mouth, and lazily drove the flock of sheep to the back mountain.He let the flocks go to a place with grassland and streams, and walked around in circles by himself. When he came back at noon, sweating and panting, he saw that the flocks were still walking on the grass, but there was a man sitting under the tree. ——Kurosawagawa.

Kurosawagawa hasn't left yet!Ye Zhen was deeply shocked.

He was hesitating whether to rush up to fight or to rush up to fight; but Kuisawa was already smiling and waving to him, beckoning him to go over.

This waving action is really like beckoning a puppy. Ye Zhen stomped his feet over with a full stomach, and before he had time to give Chuan Chuan a little color, he saw Kurosawa casually carrying a bag full of everything. It's chocolate balls, melon seed buns, bubble gum...

Kurosawa said, "It's for you."

Ye Zhen was shocked: "It's all for me?!"

Kurosawa nodded.

"Hehe, how embarrassing that is... No, no, I still can't accept it. My mother said that I can't just eat other people's snacks..."

Kurosawa squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Zhen. The boy was sitting on the grass in the sun with bare feet, holding the snack bag tightly, and a small fluffy tail was wagging excitedly behind him.

The smile in his eyes was very deep, but it was very shallow on his face. The smile lines flashed from the corners of his lips, and he just said lightly: "There is only you and me here. If you don't say anything, I won't say anything, Long How did Director Ninth know that you ate snacks?"

Ye Zhen: "Oh, are you teaching me not to listen to my mother? My mother won't let you off... Well, since you brought me a special gift, I will accept it reluctantly." .After all, it's etiquette, and there's nothing I can do about it. It's really nerve-wracking."

Kurosawa: "..."

So Ye Zhen also sat under the tree, carefully keeping a distance of half a meter from Heisawa, put the snack bag on his lap, stretched out his head and turned it inside, picked out all the chocolate balls and put them aside separately.

From Kurosawa's angle, as long as he opened his eyes slightly, he could see the boy's calf stretched out unscrupulously.His loose black cloth trousers only reached his knees, and the sunlight reflected on his slender ankles, making them as smooth and clear as freshly polished jade.

Kurosawa was in a trance for a while, and reached out his hand to gently touch Ye Zhen's direction, and his knuckles touched Ye Zhen's delicate calf skin.

After all, he is a child of fifteen or sixteen years old, with pride and vitality that adults do not have. Every inch of his skin is firm, smooth, and elastic, and his hands feel slightly cold.

Ye Zhen shook his toes and asked without raising his head, "Why are you touching me?"

Kurosawa woke up suddenly, immediately withdrew his hand, and said after a while: "Let me see... see what you are looking for."

If Ye Zhen raised his head a little, he could see a very strange expression on Kurosawa's face, with a bit of confusion and ecstasy, but also some deep remorse and shame.

But he didn't look up, just kept flipping through the bag, hurriedly peeled off the candy wrapper, and stuffed the chocolate ball into his mouth.

Hei Ze turned his head and looked at the creek in the distance. It took him a while to adjust his breath, and asked in a flat tone, "I haven't seen you for a while, what happened?"

With a chocolate ball in his mouth, Ye Zhen spoke vaguely: "Well, I took a herbal bath..."

"Washing marrow?"

"Hey? How do you know that Chuanchuan?"

Kurosawa smiled silently, "Powdering grass only grows in Yunnan, and only the Miao people in Yunnan know how to cultivate it, and within a hundred miles around here, only this mountain has the environment and soil suitable for growing it. The ancients said that marrow-washing grass has the miraculous effect of curing diseases and saving lives, but it is a pity that many ancient prescriptions have been lost to this day."

Ye Zhen half-understood, nodded and said, "Oh."

He thought that Chuan Chuan knew quite a lot, hesitated for a while, and then said: "It's just too painful, the master said I have to wash it three times..."

Kurosawa frowned slightly, but his eyes were very gentle, and he said in a low voice, "I know. Renren just passed."

Ye Zhen felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at him like this, like he obviously hated a person, but that person was not angry no matter how he was hated, and he was very tolerant and generous, just like a As if punched into the cotton, it was empty and weak.

"When I have learned the skills from my master, I will go to Japan to settle accounts with Shandi Ren, and then you will be unable to stop me." Ye Zhen glanced at Kurosawa sideways, and said deliberately: "Although you can't beat me, but look In the face of being a stringer, as long as you admit defeat and beg for mercy, I will still spare your life..."

"You will definitely go to Shandiren?"

"Of course, otherwise, why would I come to Yunnan?"

"..." Kuisawa didn't know what to say, any advice, comfort or even threats were useless, he could only sigh after a long while, and asked, "You are so young, and Director Long Jiu is protecting you, go wherever you want What can you do wrong? The Shandi family is more powerful than you imagined, if you dare to go to Japan to provoke them, you may be the one who dies without a burial..."

Ye Zhen asked: "Chuan Chuan, who are you, Shan Di Ren?"

Kurosawa hesitated for a moment, then said, "Cousin."

"And you know who he is to me?"

"... Enemies?"

"No, dead."

Ye Zhen stood up, threw the candy wrapper back to Heize, and said condescendingly: "As long as you are a human being, you can't be fully prepared. There are always times when you are careless. I can't kill him today, and I can't kill him tomorrow. As long as I wait patiently, I will always kill him." One day I can seize the opportunity. As long as he shows negligence for a ten-thousandth of a second one day, that day will immediately become his death. I am younger than him, and I am not afraid to wait."

Kurosawa's face changed slightly, but Ye Zhen didn't give him a chance to refute, and asked directly: "Are you still going to stay in Yunnan?"

Kurosawa said, "Yes."

"It's useless. You can keep me for a year, but you can't persuade me to give up. Go back."

Ye Zhen drove the flock back, and Kuisawa got up and chased a few steps.He wanted to say that I am here not only to prevent you from seeking revenge on the Shandi family, nor to persuade you, but many words have only been passed through his mind once, and he lost the courage to speak out.

In the end, he could only stand still and said in a deep voice, "I will come to see you again!"

Ye Zhen didn't look back, just waved his hand, and said casually: "That's kind, bring more chocolate balls next time!"

Kurosawa couldn't laugh or cry, and felt a little itchy in his heart, and couldn't tell what it was like for a while.

He looked down at the hand that touched Ye Zhen's calf just now, and remembered the clear and ignorant eyes of the young man, and he asked why you touched me without raising his head.It was just a casual sentence, but like a bright mirror, it instantly revealed his dark, obscure and shady thoughts at a glance.

Kurosawa folded his fingers together and sighed silently after a while.
