Copper Coins Chapter 57: Filament in the bone (2)

Xuan Min's half-open eyes almost merged with the darkness in the room, making it difficult to see where his eyes were falling, whether it was tangled in Xue Xian's equally confused eyes, or the tip of his sweaty nose. Or some more below...

There seems to be a thick and invisible barrier around the two of them. All the noises from other places are blocked outside the barrier. , giving people an illusion of panic, as if the whole room is cramped and narrow, making people unable to move or move.

Xuan Min's wrist that was being held by Xue Xian suddenly moved, and he grabbed Xue Xian's fingers with his backhand, turned it over forcibly, and pressed Xue Xian's hand tightly. I don't know if it was because of his body's reaction that he couldn't control the strength in his hand, and he clenched Xue Xian's hand extremely tightly.

At this time, Xue Xiancai realized that Xuan Min was wet with sweat, whether it was his neck, shoulders, arms or palms. When he turned his wrists and flexed his joints , the fingers slipped into Xue Xian's fingers because of the dampness. When they were clenched tightly, the skin between the fingers couldn't avoid rubbing each other... The illusion of intimacy was even heavier, and it could even be called intimacy.

Xuan Min closed his eyes half-awake and then half-opened, a drop of hot and humid sweat dripped from his chin or where it happened to land on the tip of Xue Xian's chin, and then slid all the way down his neck , smeared into the chest under the placket.

Xue Xian's breath suddenly sighed, and his mind suddenly jolted.

In the alleys outside the backyard, some cat woke up and let out a long meow, which was very clear at night, as if it was squatting beside the bed.

Xuan Min seemed to be completely awakened by the cat's meowing. He suddenly retracted the force between his fingers and closed his eyes again.

Xue Xian's eyelids jumped, the fingers he was pinching shrank subconsciously, and he suddenly sat up straight. But when he was about to withdraw his hand and control the chair to step aside, Xuan Min had already sat upright, his eyes were still closed, his expression did not move, but the hand that was holding Xue Xian had already loosened.

He closed his eyes for a long time and reopened them. He quietly looked at Xue Xian beside him and said, "Sit further away."

The tone was as calm and unwavering as always, but the voice was lower than usual, with a hint of hoarseness.

Although Xue Xian had stepped aside, the heartbeat and pulse that had been suppressed before seemed to have suddenly found an exit at this time, and he was jumping wildly as if he had continued his life, almost beating the drum against Xue Xian's ear. So much so that his ears were filled with the throbbing sound of "Xitu, Xitu", and he couldn't hear Xuanmin's low words at all.

"Huh?" he responded.

Emotions have not yet escaped from the previous delusional closeness, so that his voice has a slightly nasal tone, which makes him seem docile and lazy.

Xuan Min was silent for a while, and finally said lightly: "It's okay."

Xue Xian's pulse gradually returned to normal, he let out a sigh of relief, but the numb knuckles of his right hand were reminding him of everything he had just done. While loosening the muscles and bones of his right hand, he silently drove the two-wheeler to the table, his back turned to Xuanmin, and by fiddling with the wick, he suppressed that uncomfortable feeling.

The wick was fiddled a few times, and the bean flame became longer, and the whole room suddenly became brighter. Xue Xian turned around the chair, and by the bright fire, he could see Xuan Min's current appearance clearly——

The thin layer of monk robes on his body has been soaked with sweat, and the muscles of his shoulders, arms and arms are half-hidden... No matter how many different meanings these can evoke just now, calm down for now. Look, it's really not going anywhere.

Looking at his sweaty body, and thinking of his unusual body temperature just now, Xue Xian rarely thought about others and asked, "I'll get you some water, can you wash it?"

Yi Xuanmin can't stand all the dirty temperament, and it must be unbearable for this wet sweat. But Xue Xian only thought about this, but forgot the other. For example, you always have to take off your clothes when cleaning, and for example, Xuan Min is not alone in this room...

But after he asked this question, he remembered this, and suddenly wanted to swallow the sentence just now.

Xuanmin meditated and sat silent for a while after hearing the words. He opened his eyes and glanced at Xue Xian, then closed it lightly, and said, "No, you can just sit farther away."

Xue Xian said angrily: "...I'm trying to make you feel too bad, and I'll leave the house no matter how far I go."

Xuan Min didn't open his eyes. After Xue Xian moved back to "the wall with sufficient spiritual energy", he said solemnly, "No."

This sentence without beginning or end, the ghost knows what he is answering "no".

Xue Xian was sitting by the side of the bed. From his angle, he could see Xuan Min's side, and was mostly blocked by the bed curtain. However, this half-coverage just happened to relieve the previous embarrassment and let people relax completely.

The reason why I say it's embarrassing is because...for a moment before, Xue Xian could feel some reaction in his body. Of course, he stopped that reaction just in time, but...

I don't know if Xuanmin has the same situation.

He rested his elbows on the armrests of the two-wheeler, with his knuckles resting his head loosely, leaning lazily in the seat, his other hand unconsciously fiddling with the string of copper coins, his thumb on the The edge of the copper coin was rubbing against each other, and his eyes fell on the slightly shaking oil lamp for a while, and then on Xuan Min again.

Theoretically, if he was sweating, if he really reacted, it should be more obvious, but his extremely restrained and cold temperament can't hold back, making it difficult to associate him with certain worldly things. connect. What's more, he was sitting cross-legged and meditating, and the front of the monk's robe was draped over his knees, and he couldn't see anything.

Okay, why did this happen all of a sudden?

It was too quiet at night, and the passage of time seemed to be extraordinarily slow. Xue Xian pondered boringly, and suddenly remembered the wound on Xuan Min's tiger's mouth that he had licked twice, and Jiang Shining was interrupted by Xuan Min before he finished speaking. if.

Xue Xian: "..."

He understood why Jiang Shining told him to stop using dragon saliva, but this reminder was a step too late.

He laughed dryly in his heart, and sat up in silence, showing a serious appearance, so that he would not look like the initiator. After that, he stopped staring at Xuan Min, who was being pitted, and pondered blindly. Instead, the thief closed his eyes with a guilty conscience, and went to recuperate with the copper coins in his hand.

This night's recuperation was really different from the past, perhaps because of the fact that another keel was picked up, and perhaps because two of Xuanmin's copper coins had been released from the ban.

Previously, he could only feel a faint feeling of soreness and heat in the areas where the muscles and bones were lacking. But now, the rushing heat in the blood and the keel that had melted into the body suddenly had a clear direction. They gathered at the broken bone, like an extension of the broken bone, and a thread condensed from there.

The thread seemed to be alive. As Xue Xian concentrated more and more deeply, the thread was also slowly and gradually elongated, but the process was extremely labor-intensive, and it was only a matter of time. In the late hours, the thread in the broken bone had just been pulled out by half, but Xue Xian seemed to have spent half a month of effort.

When it was dawn and the Fang family went out one after another, Xue Xian had already pushed Jiang Shining, who didn't need to sleep, to go to a restaurant to get some food.

"A-Ning, Xue... Young Master, what are you two doing?" Jiang Shijing was about to get some concoction for the three beggars with rashes after washing up, when she saw the two walking towards the back door, He stopped them.

"Go to Huihuiju." Jiang Shining still knew about the famous restaurant in Qingping County, and could barely show Xue Xian a way.

"Huihuiju?" Jiang Shijing wondered, "What are you going to do in Huihuiju early in the morning? Sister Chen is already preparing."

Jiang Shining waved his hand, "This ancestor can be picky. He doesn't care whether he eats early or late. He only eats meat, and it has to be a big dish."

"At this hour, even if I go to Huihuiju to order meat dishes, I have to wait for others to make it." If it weren't for Xue Xian and Xuanmin, the Fang family and his wife might still be spending time in Wen Village, and they would be dead and alive. I don't know. Therefore, the Fang family has a heart of awe and gratitude towards Xue Xian and Xuan Min, and even calling a simple "Young Master" feels neglected, how could Xue Xian be allowed to starve?

When she said this, Mrs. Chen happened to come out of the kitchen. The two looked at each other, and Mrs. Chen slapped her hand, "I can make Mrs. Chen who are the signatures of Huizui. You can eat whatever you want, Master Xue. I have quick hands and feet, so I can keep a table for a while."

Jiang Shijing also nodded and said, "Ask Xingzi to help Sister Chen later. You didn't even bother to eat yesterday's food. Can you be hungry now?"

At other people's house, Xue Xian naturally wouldn't be so reckless to set up a large table, so he rarely dealt with it and said: "Then it's hard work, just get some, just have meat." Anyway, he doesn't eat grass. .

But...

He looked left and right, and said to Jiang Shijing and Sister Chen, "Could you please prepare some hot water? That bald...Xuanmin burned out a sweat last night and needs to wash it."

"Burning a sweat?" When Jiang Shijing and Jiang Shining heard this, the doctors in their bones were sick, and they asked in unison, "Is there any other reaction? Do you have a headache? Do you feel sick?"

Other reactions...

Xue Xian said dryly: "No, since his body is not likely to suffer from cold or heat, he may be distracted by meditation."

Jiang's siblings: "..." Going crazy sounds more serious than a headache, ancestor!

But remembering that "superior people always have some problems with superlatives", the Jiang family felt that it was really inconvenient for them to ask more questions, so they listened to Xue Xian's words for the time being and asked people to prepare hot water first.

When Xue Xian thought about what happened last night, he still felt a little uncomfortable. If he could stay outside, he wouldn't go back inside. So he walked around with Jiang Shining, followed by Sister Chen, and finally was invited out of the kitchen by Sister Chen, and silently returned to the living room table and waited for dinner.

As soon as Jiang Shining saw the medicine, he couldn't be idle, and followed his sister to prepare the medicine. Only Fang Cheng and Xue Xian were left in the living room, who were reading the ledger.

Xue Xian pondered for a while, but still opened his mouth and said to Fang Cheng: "Ask a question."

Fang Cheng held the hand of the account book for a while, and quickly said: "I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. If you have anything, just ask, and you can say everything you know."

"Have you heard of Longxiao?" Fang Cheng is not Jiang Shining, he doesn't know that Xue Xian's real body is a dragon, Xue Xian doesn't have to worry about his face when he asks this, "What's the effect? ​​If it is used in ordinary Is there any harm in man?"

"..." Fang Cheng glanced at him blankly, and said, "I have heard of it naturally, but I must have never seen it before. The effect... all remains in the rumors."

"What did the rumors say?"

"Just... the girl met with dragon saliva, and she became pregnant and gave birth." Fang Cheng is probably not good at telling stories, so he finished the story dryly.

Xue Xian: "..."

It's a bit of a fun.

Fang Cheng added: "There are also some rumors in this world, it's just that someone in a certain place got it and sold it for a sky-high price or used it as medicine. , There are also some side effects, mostly nourishing yin and strengthening yang, promoting joy and happiness, etc. It is said that it lasts for a long time, but it is only limited to rumors. Medicine, if I could see it once in my lifetime, I would be considered dead without regrets.”

He is used to dealing with all kinds of medicinal herbs, and he talks about these effects in a serious manner, which makes people unable to evoke any jealous thoughts, but...

Although Xue Xian guessed it last night, it's a different experience to hear someone say it now.

So much so that he went to the yard and grabbed Jiang Shining without saying a word: "Let's discuss, I'll change rooms with you tonight?"

Jiang Shining: "...No, staying in one room with the master is enough for me to go to Huangquan in one night. I agreed to stay for two more days so that I can accompany my sister to celebrate her birthday?"

Xue Xian said again: "That's alright, if you don't change it, you won't change it, add me, anyway, I won't occupy the bed."

Jiang Shining laughed dryly: "Shito Zhang can be startled by you to wet the bed, do you think Twenty-seven will be crazy?"

Xue Xian: "..."

"Are you provoking the master again?" Jiang Shining felt that he didn't receive a penny, and he had to worry about the old mother's heart, which really lost his life. Oh, wrong, he's already dead.

Xue Xian raised his hand expressionlessly with his thumb and forefinger, "causing him a little trouble."

Jiang Shining said: Yes, it must be a difficult and difficult problem, and it will never stop at a little bit.

While the two of them were talking, the backyard door was pushed open, and two young men dressed as medicine men entered the courtyard with a medicine basket on their backs. They were stunned when they saw Jiang Shining, and then rushed from the kitchen. Sister Chen, who came out of the vegetable bowl, said hello, "Sister Chen, early, what did you do so deliciously, but we both starved to death. What about the young master and the young lady?"

"The young master and the young lady are all busy. Go and put the medicine basket away, wash your hands and face, and have dinner later." Sister Chen replied.

"Hey - I was supposed to be back last night, but I ran into the horse team on land and cleared the road, so it was only one night late." These two are the guys who helped the Fang family, with a medicine basket on the side. , while talking to Sister Chen.

"The Colts? What Colts?"

"The official horse team." As soon as Yao Lang mentioned this, his tone suddenly became mysterious, "Isn't this epidemic reported in our county? The imperial court sent a team of officials and horses to expel the epidemic. It's time to enter the county seat this morning. Guess who sent it?"

"Nuoyi?" Sister Chen was taken aback, "Is it possible..."

Yao Lang thumped his hand, "It is said that the ones under the direct control of the national teacher, there are too many official names, I can't name them, anyway, it is said that they follow the national teacher on weekdays, and it is rare to see the appearance of the national teacher. people."
