He Wei

The winter in the south of the Yangtze River goes very fast, and the footsteps of spring follow closely. The winter of more than three months is fleeting, and at the same time, there is a warm east wind.The spring in the south is warm and comfortable, unlike the cold spring in the north.

After finishing the day's work, at night Xu Lang saw the stars and the moon shining brightly outside, so he asked Xue Chengyu: "The scenery outside is just right, young master, do you want to go to the yard to enjoy the moon?"

Xue Chengyu put down the medical book in his hand and looked up at the sky, then nodded to Xu Lang to push him out.

Xu Lang was afraid that Xue Chengyu would be cold, so he took out a blanket and covered his knees, while he sat on the stone bench holding a fruit plate and began to eat. Xue Chengyu's dumbfounded look made the corners of his mouth curl up, and he smiled. gentle.

Xue Chengyu took out an apple from the plate and took a bite, and asked: "Xiaohong has been in Xue's residence for three months, how do you feel?"

"The master and the young masters are not mean to me. They have never disliked me for being from the countryside, nor for being clumsy. Now that I have food, housing and shelter, it is much better than in the countryside, and the Jiangnan area seems to be warmer than the north, not as cold as the north. .”

For Xue Chengyu, who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and never took a step outside the south of the Yangtze River, everything in the North Country was unfamiliar. Except for the "Shan He Zhi" sent by Jiang Qi who traveled abroad every month, if he wanted to get any news about the North Country, he could only Hearing from the caravan, he was curious and asked a lot.

"I don't know what Xiaohong's home is like in Beiguo? What do you do on weekdays?"

"My house...is just a relatively dilapidated house, only as big as the young master's yard. There are medicinal herbs in the yard. My parents treat the villagers and dry the medicinal herbs. I help them lay hands and go up the mountain to get the medicine."

Speaking of this, Xu Lang gnawed a mouthful of a pear, and said it while smashing his mouth, so indulgent, Xue Chengyu didn't let him do this.

"Life is neither hard nor easy, but unfortunately I am born stupid and not a medical student, except for grasping medicine, I can't do anything else...

I thought it would be a long time to learn slowly, but I never thought that there were many disasters last year, and my parents contracted the disease and left to save others...Leaving me to flee all the way, I came to Jiangnan with a caravan going south..."

Xu Lang was a little choked up recalling the past, sniffed his nose lightly and gnawed a mouthful of pears to cover up his sad emotions.

Xue Chengyu saw that the person in front of him was so sad and knew that he had slipped his words. He put his hand on Xu Lang's shoulder and comforted him: "From now on, you can treat Xue's family as your own home. I will teach you whatever you want to learn. No one dares to follow me." Say you're stupid."

No matter how approachable Xue Chengyu is, he is still a young master in the final analysis, and it is difficult to understand the misery of the low-level weak like Xu Hong, and Xue Chengyu has only sympathy and regret for them.

Touched by Xue Chengyu's words, Xu Lang twitched his nose again, and said softly, "It's nice to have a young master", and Xue Chengyu felt a little satisfied when he heard it.

"If Xiaohong thinks I'm good, she will stay by my side for a long time, and be careful in doing things, so as not to hurt herself."

Xu Lang didn't understand Xue Chengyu's meaning for a while, but just nodded dumbly. Seeing that blank look, Xue Chengyu stretched out his hand unconsciously, and pinched his little face.

It has been three months since I came to Xue's house, I eat a lot of food every day but I don't see any growth, and I am as thin as a little monkey. People who don't know will think that Xue's family is cheating.

Xue Chengyu was fine on both sides, and put his hand on Xu Hong's left shoulder, just about to give him a squeeze to relieve his fatigue, but Xu Hong hurriedly avoided it as if frightened.

"Master...Master...this is inappropriate..."

Xue Chengyu had no choice but to withdraw his hand, with a lost expression, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.Xu Hong had a shoulder injury and it was a new injury. When he first came to Xue's mansion, the position of the shoulder bone was still misaligned, and it was only after bone setting that the position was adjusted back.

Xue Chengyu once asked Xu Hong how he got injured, but Xu Hong didn't say anything. Xue Chengyu sent people to inquire around and found out that Xu Hong had worked in Qiao's house before. As for how he ended up living on the street, he has no way of knowing.

After knowing what happened to Xu Lang, Xue Chengyu's heart was always aching, and he felt very sorry for this man who was not favored by the heavens.

In fact, Xue Chengyu doesn't know what's going on recently. Since Xu Hong came to his side, he has become more and more dependent on him. Teaching him medicine is also good for him, no matter how busy he is, as long as Xu Hong is by his side, it is good to be able to appear in front of his eyes.

In all honesty, Uncle Fu is the one who takes the most meticulous care of people in Xue's residence, but Uncle Fu is just a relative to Xue Chengyu. He lost his mother when he was young because Uncle Fu took time out of his busy schedule to take care of him and Chengyi Xue. No less caring than their biological fathers.

But Xu Hong gave him a different feeling, as long as he opened his eyes and saw that Xu Hong's heart was as sweet as eating candied fruit, Xu Hong's every move was worthy of his appreciation.

Whenever I see his thin body dangling on the face, I really want to hold it in my arms and give him the greatest protection and love.Sometimes Xue Chengyu can't help thinking, maybe he has a habit of cutting off sleeves...

It turns out that he did have...

Feeling the awkward atmosphere between the two, Xu Lang took a bite of the pear and said timidly, "Actually, I have always wanted to ask the young master a question...but I dare not ask...for fear that the young master will be angry..."

Xue Chengyu hooked the corner of his mouth, and replied with a smile: "But it's okay to ask."

Xu Lang hesitated for a moment before daring to speak: "What was the reason why the young master left me at the beginning... There are many people in the Xue family who can take care of the young master better than me and are more flexible than me.

And Uncle Fu is the one who takes care of the young master the most meticulously, why in the end let an outsider picked up from the snow to take care of the young master...it's unreasonable..."

Xue Chengyu was also very embarrassed when this question came up. Xu Lang was left at the beginning only out of the benevolence of the doctor, in order not to let him die in winter.

But at that time, Xin made a private decision, controlled her brain to say those words, and left Xu Hong behind.

The same fate in the world, the same suffering due to Xue and the same doctor, if these fates are not counted, what else can bring the two together?It is said that it is difficult for a doctor to heal himself, and only two doctors can heal each other's pain together.

Xue Chengyu used to bite an apple to cover up that he hadn't thought of an answer yet, and finally there were waves in his eyes, which were as calm as water in the past, and he carefully probed, and asked side-by-side: "Why does Xiaolang have such doubts? Could it be that someone is gossiping behind his back and making rash remarks?" Talk about me?"

"No, young master... No one is gossiping... It's just... I just feel that everything is like a dream now, and I'm afraid that everything will cease to exist when I wake up from the dream..." Xu Lang hurriedly explained, fearing that Xue Chengyu would be angry.

"From being rescued from a disaster to being able to stay with the young master...it happened so suddenly...I was afraid that I would be too stupid to take care of the young master...I was afraid that I would offend the young master because of my stupidity...I was afraid that the young master would be angry if he got angry... Drive me away...I like to stay with the young master...I...I don't want to leave the young master..."

Xu Lang's emotions became more and more agitated, and the last few sentences seemed to be screamed out with all his strength, which seemed very abrupt in the quiet night, and even the stars in the sky flickered as if they were frightened.

This is what Xu Lang wanted to say a long time ago. From the first time he saw Xue Chengyu, he wanted to stay by Xue Chengyu's side, as long as he didn't drive him away and let him be a cow.With tears in Xu Lang's eyes, he kept his head down, not daring to look directly at Xue Chengyu.

Xue Chengyu was also quite shocked when he heard Xu Lang say this, and slowly stretched out his hand to lift Xu Lang's face, and the indescribable emotion when the four eyes met was finally confirmed.

He also loves him, and that momentary heartbeat is the best proof.

"Don't worry, Xiaohong, I won't drive you away, I... also really like having Xiaohong by my side."

Xu Lang didn't expect Xue Chengyu to give him such a direct answer, so he was stunned for a long time before he could say, "Master, you can't just make fun of me..."

Xue Chengyu took Xu Hong's hand, stroked the knuckle fingers, put his face close to Xu Hong's and looked at him seriously, "Have I ever lied to Xiao Hong?"

Xu Lang had never looked at Xue Chengyu so closely before, the faint moonlight cast on Xue Chengyu's face and his soft eyes made Xu Lang stare in a daze.

In an instant, her little face flushed red, even the tips of her ears turned red, and she stammered back: "No...never..."

Xue Chengyu held Xu Lang's hand tightly, and said with a slight smile, "Xu Lang, you don't have to be afraid of anything by my side. I can block the wind, sea and rain for you!"
