Tenderness like water

In the following days, Dongfang Xu stayed in this small village to recuperate, because Yang Lan deliberately kept a low profile, except for Qi Feng's family, few other families knew that they stayed here for a month.

During this period, the names of the two also gradually changed. Yang Lan no longer called "Brother Dongfang" at a glance, but knew Dongfang Xu's nickname, Yun Sheng.

Clouds come from dragons, clouds are born and dragons come out.

But for some reason, Yang Lan still prefers to call him "Dongfang", maybe it's more fluent.Fortunately, Dongfang Xu himself didn't care, every time he called Yang Lan, he called him "Lan Wei".

Said it is a superscript, but in fact this is Yang Lan's Taoist name. He happened to be a Wei character on Ruowei Mountain. Daoist Xugu didn't have much talent in naming, so he took his name directly, and thus Yang Lan's Taoism came into being. Number.

It snowed again that day, and Yang Lan felt a chill when he woke up in the morning, and when he opened the door, he could see the white snow all over the place.

This was the first heavy snow this year. Although there was snow a few days ago, the branches were only stained with white. Even the little snowman Yang Lan made couldn't survive the whole morning.

"Squeak-"

Dongfang Xu's room next to him also opened the door, and he came out of the room in a red dress, his clothes fluttering.

"Dongfang, why don't you wear more clothes? It's snowing today and it's cold." Yang Lan took a look at Dongfang Xu's clothes, and took a cloak to put on him when he entered the room. habit.

"It's not cold." Although Dongfang Xu said so, he didn't avoid Yang Lan's movements, and stood still and let him move.At first, Yang Lan was not used to being so close to him, but after a month passed, his whole body was no longer as tense as at the beginning.

"Brother Yang, you're already up! It's snowing today, and I roasted a lot of sweet potatoes at home. No, I'll send you a few." Qi Feng held a cloth bag in his hand, braving white in the cold wind. There is a faint fragrance when you get close to it, and the cold silence with snowflakes is very pleasant.

"Roasted sweet potato, I haven't eaten it for a long time." Yang Lan took the sweet potato from Qi Feng's hand, still feeling a little hot, "Dongfang, you can eat one too, it smells delicious."

The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes came out through the cloth bag, and Yang Lan even felt that his saliva was speeding up.

"Eat slowly, I'll go back first. The weather is getting colder and colder, if you run out of firewood, you can come to my house to get it." Although Qi Feng wore a lot of clothes, he still felt that his cheeks were numb after standing in the cold wind for a long time. He was about to freeze, he saw that Yang Lan and Dongfang Xu didn't have much to wear, and he also wanted them to hurry into the house to keep warm.

"Then you go back first, don't freeze." Yang Lan didn't feel cold, he was originally very angry, and Dongfang Xu, although he was always worried that Dongfang Xu would be cold, but he thought of himself and others, he never felt that Dongfang Xu needed to wear clothes. The heavy padded jacket, Dongfang Xu himself never said it was cold.

Looking at Qi Feng's clothes, Yang Lan wondered if it was time to add new clothes to Dongfang.

After Qi Feng left, Yang Lan took Dongfang Xu back to the room. He lit a charcoal basin in Dongfang Xu's room. These were bought in the town last time, and they were almost bottomed out after a month of use. We don’t know how long it will be, we don’t have enough stuff, and we have to go to town again when the snow stops.”

"I'll go with you." Dongfang Xu had been forced to recuperate in bed for a month, and wanted to move around a long time ago.

Yang Lan naturally has no reason not to agree to such a request.

The snow stopped that afternoon, but because it was getting late, they planned to go to the town tomorrow.

On the second day, Dongfang Xu woke up very early, and the two of them packed lightly and set off at dawn, and they arrived in the town just in time for the morning market.

There were also breakfast sellers in the morning market. Yang Lan bought four big steamed stuffed buns. He and Dongfang Xu ate two of them, and then went shopping in the town.

"There is a seller of embroidery thread over there, do you want to go and have a look?" Yang Lan walked side by side with Dongfang Xu on the street, passing a corner, he happened to see a cloth shop, thinking that Dongfang Xu's weapon was a silver needle, he could not help but open Joke, "Your embroidery needle is the most exquisite weapon I have ever seen."

Aren't needles just for embroidery?

If another person said that, Dongfang Xu would have to let that person understand that besides embroidery, needles can make life worse than death, but it was Yang Lan who said this, so he naturally didn't care so much.

Just take it as repayment for his care for this month.Dongfang Xu suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and glanced at Yang Lan who was half a step away, "Then go in and have a look."

Now it was Yang Lan's turn to be dazed. He didn't expect that Dongfang Xu would really want to go in, but since Dongfang Xu wanted to go and have a look, of course he would accompany him.

This cloth shop is the only cloth shop in the town, and there are quite a few people coming and going every day. When Yang Lan followed Dongfang Xu in, there were people picking out fabrics and embroidery threads, but they were all owned by older girls and daughters-in-law. This man is also single and unmarried, so he came here to buy ready-made clothes directly.

"What does this young master want to buy?" The shopkeeper had just negotiated the price with the thoughtful woman, and hurried over to greet Dongfang Xu and Yang Lan when he saw Dongfang Xu and Yang Lan entering the door, "Our cloth shop has a complete range of goods, all kinds of colors and materials!"

"Take some embroidery thread and take a look." Dongfang Xu only took a glance and skipped to get some fabrics. Although it looked very bright, Dongfang Xu had an intuition that taking some fabrics would not be comfortable to wear.

The shopkeeper stopped Dongfang Xu's words, thinking that this was bought for his sisters or wives and concubines, "Master, the hottest selling item here recently is this embroidered bag, which was specially matched by the embroidered lady in our village. Good colors, if there are no special needs, are enough for most people.”

Dongfang Xu suddenly became interested in the small embroidery bag held in the shopkeeper's hand—are those exquisite embroidery products embroidered with such thin threads?

Yang Lan has been following Dongfang Xu since he entered the cloth house, without saying a word, when Dongfang Xu really started to choose embroidery threads, and seemed to be seriously studying Yifan, he could only stand behind wait.

As a man, Yang Lan was not interested in these things by nature.But seeing Dongfang Xu talking to the shopkeeper in front, he didn't feel that it was against harmony, but Yang Lan still found it funny when he thought of this person sitting by the bed with a needle embroidering flowers.

Not long after what I said earlier, Dongfang Xu finally chose. He bought an embroidery bag according to the shopkeeper's recommendation, and sent a few embroidery samples along the way.

"Pay." Just when Yang Lan was in a daze, the shopkeeper had already packed all the things and handed them to Dongfang Xu, who was talking to him.

Hearing the sound, Yang Lan hurriedly took out the money bag to pay. The shopkeeper only thought he was a boy following Dongfang Xu, and smiled at him friendlyly, "Young man, your young master's temper is really serious. good."

After this incident, Yang Lan stopped joking. After shopping, the two found a restaurant for dinner. In the afternoon, they went back to the small village with the delivery carriage.Yang Lan gave Qi Feng a lot of things for the winter, thanks to their family for their care during this time, especially the charcoal he bought, and after seeing Qi Fengjia's own charcoal, he shared a lot.

Some time ago, Qi Feng's new daughter-in-law was found to be pregnant, and Yang Lan didn't like the charcoal that kept emitting black smoke when it was burned.

After accepting Yang Lan's things, Qi Feng naturally cared more about them, not to mention sending a handful of fresh vegetables every day, and never leaving the two of them with homemade delicious food every once in a while, which made Yang Lan feel a little bit sorry.

In the year of auspicious snow, this heavy snowfall was just the beginning, and then it started to snow one after another. The snow on the road soon became knee-deep. If the road was not cleaned every day, it would be easy to be stuck at home and unable to get out.

And when the snow is enough, it will soon be the New Year.

Counting it, this is Yang Lan's first year after going up the mountain—Ruowei Mountain is full of Taoist priests, and the first day of the new year is still a meditation practice, which is no different from the usual, and it is not considered a New Year's Day at all.

When the end of the new year was approaching, Yang Lan went to the street to buy one, this time he went with Qi Feng's family - he knew that the New Year was very grand, but he didn't know that there were so many things to prepare, and it was only when Qi Feng came to him that he found out There are also all kinds of ritual-like procedures.

Dongfang Xu knew that Yang Lan was going out, so he asked him to bring some embroidery thread back for him, just the kind of embroidery bag he bought at the cloth shop last time.

Yang Lan didn't expect that Dongfang Xu, who had been playing with embroidery threads in the room for a few days, would really like this kind of thing, but thinking about himself, wouldn't it be rare for men in this era to be interested in cooking?Therefore, when Dongfang Xu leaned on the door frame and said his request slowly, Yang Lan did not appear surprised, but wrote down the requirements one by one, and finally nodded to show that he had remembered it.

Dongfang Xu is more and more satisfied with Yang Lan. This person seems to always be able to do things as he wants. He has already planned to take Yang Lan back with him when his injury is completely healed. It will be the same when he tells him his identity. .

This person is careful in his work, and it is not a bad idea to take him back to be a guard.

However, Dongfang Xu didn't expect that after Yang Lan left, he never came back to this small mountain village.
