Copper Coins Chapter 69: Iron Army (4)
"Speak." Xuan Min turned his back to Xue Xian and spoke as succinctly as ever.
The wounded soldier probably didn't expect that they would agree so bluntly, and maybe he was a little confused. After a while of silence, he said, "Can you...can you please take me back to my hometown."
Xue Xian was stunned for a moment, then stuck his head out from behind Xuan Min and glanced at the man, "Your hometown?"
"Yes." The wounded soldier nodded and explained slowly, "I vaguely heard you mentioned Dustpan Mountain before. My hometown is at the foot of Xiangyang Mountain, which is a small village."
That's really not far, just walk out of this mountain pass and turn around the foot of the mountain to get there.
Just...
Didn't you just say that you heard us say we were leaving when you were just a little conscious? ! How did this change again? Did you hear the dustpan again? When did you come to realize! Xue Xian held back his words and wanted to pour it out, but after thinking about it, he sat upright with a slumped face and didn't say a word, no longer poking his head.
"My parents and my wife are still at home, I think... If the two of you can help me bring my iron army card to them, it can be regarded as an explanation for them." Fortunately, the wounded soldier was eager to return, and he never Noticing Xue Xian's anomaly, he just explained to Xuan Min raggedly. From when he joined the army, to not being able to go home for a few years, etc., the words are a bit topsy-turvy, but not annoying.
Xue Xian held the table with his hands. At first, he listened to the wounded soldier's words one after another. Later, he began to look at Xuan Min's shoulders and dazed his attention.
It was only then that he suddenly realized that he seemed to be looking at Xuan Min's back like this for the first time.
Before when he was still paper, he would always lie on the edge of Xuan Min's pocket, leaving Xuan Min always with the top of his head, and what he saw when he looked up was mostly Xuan Min's chin. Later, it became a gold bead, and even the chance to probe was much less. Later, when he recovered his true body, he either became a thin one wrapped around Xuan Min's wrist, or turned into a coiled hill, surrounding Xuan Min. Even when he was in human form, he was hugged by Xuan Min, and he always liked to cover his head and face with black clothes. And after having two wheelchairs to come and go freely, he walks in the forefront all the time...
In short, thinking about it now, he has seen Xuanmin from all kinds of weird angles, but he lacks such a normal one. On the contrary, he left his back to Xuan Min much more often.
I have to say, this is actually an excellent angle. It doesn't matter how arrogant you are in your eyes, because you won't be seen by the other party, and you don't have to worry about embarrassment.
Xuan Min's shoulders are very broad, and under the thin layer of monk robes, he shows a strong thinness. He is taller than Xue Xian imagined, and he can firmly block people behind him. , blocking all line of sight.
This kind of back makes people want to get closer.
Xue Xian moved his finger on the table, but just as he lifted it up, he heard that the wounded soldier finally explained everything, and Chong Xuan said sympathetically: "I beg the two of you to help me with this last wish and be a bull in the next life. Be a horse—"
"No need." Xuan Min interrupted him coldly, "You can't talk nonsense before you enter reincarnation."
The wounded soldier thought he refused, but suddenly became a little flustered, and his words were a little anxious.
Xuan Min said again, "I'll pack up and I'll send you there."
The wounded soldiers repeatedly expressed their thanks.
Xue Xian's raised finger rested on the desk again, and he was not too embarrassed to face Xuan Min's back, and the previous discomfort was relieved a little. He opened his mouth and asked, "Are you going to take those books with you?"
"No, I wrote down the content." Xuan Min tilted his head and glanced at him, then suddenly turned around and walked over: "It's almost five watch, send him back to the village and then back to Fang's house, it's about to dawn. ."
With a pair of faces, Xue Xian's dazed energy started to appear again.
When Xuan Min staggered his gaze and reached out to hug him, he subconsciously complied, but from his neck to his hands and feet, it had become a coffin board.
However, as soon as he touched Xuanmin's monk's robe, Xue Xian suddenly came back to his senses, "My legs are healed."
When he said this, he raised his head suddenly, but with a "dong--", he knocked on Xuan Min's chin.
Xue Xian let out a "hiss", and before he had time to react, the place where the top of his head was hit was easily covered by a hand, and his finger was still pressing lightly on the place where it hit.
"How can the dragon head just hit the hole, I'll sizzle for you." After a lot of nonsense, there have been sequelae, and any touch of Xuan Min has become difficult to ignore. Xue Xian froze his neck and did not let go, let him press it a few times, and said dryly, "Are you biting your tongue?"
"It's okay." Xuan Min withdrew his hand, took a step to the side, and then turned his eyes to his legs hanging by the table, "Did you just say your legs are healed?"
Xue Xian nodded, "Didn't you ask me to use copper coins to support my muscles and bones earlier, when I became conscious at night, I had already done it, but I haven't had time to say..."
His mouth was quick, and before he could react, he had already said most of the sentence, and he couldn't take it back if he wanted to.
I haven't had time to say...
Why didn't it come in time? Because the whole night was used for prostitution.
You can talk a lot. Which pot can't be lifted without opening it.
Xue Xian looked away, and said without hesitation, "All in all, one of my legs is healed, and the other is that I should stop talking. That's it." She looks like she has her mouth closed.
Xuan Min gave a low "um" to signal that he heard it.
Before the strange atmosphere spread again, he had already turned around and walked to the futon, and put the books he had been reading heavily in the bookcase.
Xue Xian glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze. He bit the tip of his tongue, propped up the table with both hands, and tried to move his legs.
You can move!
Of course he can move, and he had already moved when he pulled Xuan Min between his legs.
While laughing at himself, Xue Xian simply touched the ground with his feet and got off the desk.
It turns out that even if the legs and feet have been paralyzed for half a year, even if they move freely, they may not have the strength to support the whole person.
Xue Xian's feet softened immediately and he almost slipped on the ground in shame, when a hand reached out in time, grabbed his wrist, and held him firmly with his palm facing upwards. The strength of that hand was so great that the muscles and bones on the back of the hand were protruding and the roots were distinct.
"Aren't you packing your books?" Xue Xian asked in a daze, "Have eyes on the back of your head?"
Xuan Min didn't answer him at all, only frowned and said solemnly: "How can you go down to the ground recklessly?"
"There has never been any problem in the sky, so where does the next place come from?" Xue Xian replied indifferently.
He used Xuan Mian's power to try to pour his strength into his legs. The two legs that hadn't felt any sensation for a long time finally started to numb after realizing it, like countless fine silver needles, deeply pierced into every inch of the skin.
That feeling is by no means pleasant, but to Xue Xian it is simply wonderful. Because as the tingling pain subsided a little bit, he could feel that his legs that had been silent for a long time really woke up a little bit.
"I can go." Xue Xian raised his head and said to Xuanmin, his expression almost surprised and at a loss.
He used the strength of Xuan Min's hand to support him, stomping his feet, stomping away the last bit of numbness, and then took a tentative step.
"You can really go." When Xue Xian said this, his tone was like sleepwalking, and he seemed a little unbelievable, as if he had obtained something extraordinary.
A person who is arrogant and arrogant by nature, used to accompany the sky and the earth, but was at a loss for a long time because of such a thing, as if he still couldn't believe it.
He looked up at Xuan Min again, only to find that Xuan Min's gaze moved from his legs to his face for some reason.
"What's wrong with my face?" Xue Xian was stunned for a moment, then pulled away from the dazed surprise, he touched his face and said, "The reaction is too stupid? If you break your leg and paralyze For the first half of the year, your reaction may not be as good as mine..."
He said something half self-deprecating, half sneering.
When Xuan Min was seen by him, he looked away lightly, "Just a few more steps, I'll hold on."
Xue Xian was immersed in the joy of the recovery of his legs and feet, and he didn't even notice the rare gentleness in Xuan Min's tone.
Facts have proved that the physique of this ancestor is really extraordinary. His legs that have not been moved for half a year have become stronger after walking back and forth a few times, as if he had never been paralyzed before. Only Xue Xian knew that the broken bones in his body were still missing, all connected by the silk thread drawn from Xuan Min's copper coins.
Substitution is a substitution after all, and can only play a temporary role. If you want to truly recover, you still need to get the remaining spine back...
But so what? At least he can walk and run now. This alone is enough to make Xue Xian feel comfortable. This sense of relief can even overshadow all other emotions.
He even forgot about the embarrassment, walked steadily up the steps, walked to the door of the outhouse, pointed at the two wheelchairs beside the door, raised his chin and rushed over to Xuan Min, "Thank you. , maybe in fifty years.”
Xuan Min: "..."
Let's let this scumbag run around in the house, and he won't be able to use it, and he may be able to say more **** to ask for a fight. So Xuan Min didn't delay any longer, and immediately took the dazed wounded soldier and walked out of the mountain with Xue Xian.
The two of them are not afraid of the fog in the forest, and the wounded soldiers are not even human, so naturally they are not afraid.
So they quickly got out of Dustpan Mountain, followed the foot of the mountain, and went around the village in the south in the dark.
Although the valley is full of fog and miasma, the outside of the mountain is clear and clear. It was rare that there was no rain or snow at night, and the silver moon hung like a hook on the top of the mountain, paving the mountain road with a layer of frost-like white.
Xue Xian actually walked lightly and steadily, neither in a hurry nor slow, and quietly, which was different from his usual temperament, but somewhat similar to Xuan Min.
His black robe was light and draped, and when he turned around the mountain road, the night wind would pick up some corners, and sometimes it would slide over the grass branches along the road. The half of his body facing the crescent moon was outlined by the moonlight, straight and slender, while the other side blended into the night with the black robe.
When they were walking on the mountain road together with Xuan Min, they happened to be black and white.
As soon as they were halfway there, the bells and drums in Qingping County were already ringing, and they spread from the city to the outside. In the villages on the south side of the mountain, the crowing of roosters and the barking of dogs also rang out, one after another.
And when they walked to the village monument, most of the people in the village were already awake, and people were talking vaguely.
After all, with a grudge, even a ghost with an incomplete soul will scare people. Therefore, before entering the village, in order to save unnecessary trouble and delay too long, Xue Xian added a blindfold to the two and the ghost, so that no one could see them, whether they were humans or chickens, ducks, cats and dogs. Can't hear them speak.
"How do you get to your house?" Xue Xian asked.
The wounded soldier pointed to the depths of the village, "Follow this road, there is a pond over there, turn along the pond and turn to the back."
"Let's go then." As Xue Xian was speaking, he suddenly heard a faint sigh not far away.
The sigh was so abrupt, it looked very scary in the still dark village.
Immediately afterwards, someone in the village screamed, and the noise of people suddenly increased. It seemed to be very flustered. I don't know who's domestic dog barked, causing more echoing dog barks.
However, this terrifying sigh was not unfamiliar to Xue Xian.
He looked up and sneered, "I really know how to choose the time."
