At the critical moment, a man suddenly rushed in from the door and kicked the pillar on my leg with one foot. He carried me and jumped out of the window. When he landed, he looked back and saw the building collapsed into ruins in an instant, until the heaven and the earth recovered. There was a dead silence, and the fear in my heart lingered for a long time.

The severe pain in my leg made me cry a few times, I endured it and raised my head, only then did I see that the person who saved me in danger was the young fisherman who drank with me last night. I don't understand why this guy who met by chance gave his life to save me. It's just that before I could ask the question, my consciousness gradually pulled away, and I said, "Save the people to the end, send the Buddha to the Xiherring brother" before fainting with peace of mind.

Unexpectedly, this coma lasted for three days and three nights. When I woke up, I opened my eyes and the first person I saw was a middle-aged woman, plain in blue, looking at me arrogantly and saying, "If you don't wake up again, you will be in this life for the rest of your life. won't wake up."

Later, I learned that this woman's name is Lin Danqing, and the people in the town call her Qing Yu.

She came from the Medicine King Valley in Linchuan a few years ago, and has the medical skills to bring back the dead. However, her medical ethics are not good. Even if the patient who seeks a medical treatment is terminally ill and died in front of her house, it would be wishful thinking if she does not have enough silver taels to consult.

I was puzzled, let alone Princess Yujian, the silver taels I carried were buried in the ground, how could such a mercenary aunt let me consult in her housing estate?

Qing Gu didn't answer, she just said that you should thank the little brother well, if it wasn't for him to deliver it in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to keep my leg.

It's him?

When Brother Qingyu entered the house, his worried face was a little relieved. He sat down and comforted me and said how good Qinggu's medical skills are. I should be able to walk in the hospital within a hundred days. I hope I don't have to worry. Just stay here and recuperate.

This time I really looked at him, and found that he had a clear and beautiful face, and his smile was very gentle. I asked, "How did you persuade Qing Gu to save me?"

He shook his head and said, "I just promised her to treat me."

"Cure?"

"I have a strange disease. Aunt Qing found out before that she wanted to heal me. I refused. On the condition that I heal your leg, I agreed."

I was silent and said, "The disease that can make people like Qing Gu wonder, I think it is not an ordinary disease."

Brother Qingyu smiled without saying a word, and I said again: "And the reason you refused before was because the risk of treatment is greater than that of death?"

Brother Qingyu shrugged, "Since I've done it, I won't think about it anymore, why should the girl think so much?"

"why?"

"Um?"

I let out a long sigh and asked, "Why do you have to risk saving me? Why would you rather do something you didn't want to do in order to have someone treat me? We are strangers, and we can't even talk about a chance encounter."

Brother Qingyu was silent, his expression was soft and quiet, "Can't you remember what happened that night?"

Did you drink that night? what happened?

I tried hard to recall, but my mind was blank: "I just remember that I was drunk, and then when I woke up, the earthquake was swirling..."

Brother Herring was amused by my appearance: "Girl Bingxue is smart, and the reason can be guessed sooner or later."

He didn't want to say it, so I didn't ask, "I still don't know what your name is."

"I don't have a name."

"?"

"Someone rescued me from a coma by the river bank a few months ago. When I woke up, I forgot my name."

"……I see……"

So, I don't know what to say.

I reluctantly gave him a smile, and he left to do his own business. I was lying back on the bed alone, looking at the ceiling, and I recalled from time to time that it was actually quite a difficult time for me.

Living in the villages and towns after the disaster, sleeping on a hard board, my body hurts, and the broken leg often wakes me up from falling asleep. Knowing what the chirping of flying insects is, that feeling is really a pain that can't be relieved after crying.

It wasn't until that night that I realized my vulnerability. I thought I understood many truths and saw many calculations. I was immersed in the world of love and couldn't extricate myself. I thought that I could wait for my big brother for so many years, but I was always moved by myself first. I thought that I had suffered so many grievances for my concubine, and I had long blamed him thousands of times in my heart. So when I learned that he was going to poison me, I really thought about dying, but I didn't understand, I wasn't even afraid of death, why would I keep crying for such a small pain?

Occasionally, in the night when was thinking about tossing and turning, would occasionally hear the sound of Xiao playing, don’t know who was playing, but the sound of Xiao was soothing and beautiful.

After the natural disaster, the plague is rampant.

I heard that some of the doctors sent by the government died after contracting the plague without prescribing a prescription. It can be seen that the plague is fierce and cannot be handled by doctors in small towns.

Before the imperial doctor from the capital arrived, the government wanted to prevent anyone from escaping the disaster and affected the nearby villages and towns, and the affected villages were sealed off and isolated, but in this way, the village was like purgatory, where people were exposed to death, and people were waiting to die.

If it wasn't for Brother Herring who took me out of the village to the nearby town earlier, I was afraid that I would have died of illness if I hadn't been crushed to death.

Of course, there are countless people who have stepped on the threshold in front of Qinggu's door, and the magistrate of the official sent her to visit in person, but she has been turned away.

She was busy developing the medicine for Brother Herring.

My leg bones were broken so badly, I was lying on the bed all day and couldn't move. Qing Gu was a taciturn person, except when it was time to change the medicine, she would replace it for me, and spend the rest of the time in the pharmacy. what. As for Brother Herring, the medicine has not yet been made. He should be busy with what he is doing. When it comes to dinner, he will consciously bring fish and vegetables to make a few light snacks and bring them to me. Seeing that I am panicked, remember to bring me two books. , I once teased him and said, "Seeing how careful and considerate you are, how happy your future wife will be."

After he finished speaking, his whole face turned into a persimmon, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

When I was bored, I would guess about Brother Herring's life experience, "I think... people like you in the story are usually a big devil. Originally, you were powerful and killed countless people. Afterwards, you were severely injured and lived in the people. You were gradually moved by the simple people. Then you slowly He regained his memory, felt guilty for what he had done, and finally helped more people with his own skills and became a famous hero through the ages."

Brother Qingyu laughed: "Why didn't Mo Xing kill the whole village?"

I said, "There are so many bad things in life. If the writer of the story can't convey hope, what fun will the reader of the story have?"

Brother Qingyu's smile was full of kindness: "Since the girl thinks this way, don't use alcohol to relieve your worries in the future."

I said, "You are really strange. You always call me after girls. Don't you ever wonder who my name is and where does my family live?"

Brother Qingyu turned around to clean up the tableware and chopsticks a little embarrassedly. After I fed him again, he turned around and said calmly, "What's the problem if you don't know the name? After two months, the girl's leg injury will heal, won't it? Are you going to leave here?"

I was startled, "So?"

Brother Qingyu shrugged and smiled and said, "So, let's not ask. I still have something to do, girl, please rest."

As soon as he walked out the door, Qing Gu walked out from the door next door, holding the bowl in one hand and the chopsticks in the other, looked at him with a mocking smile, looked at me again, shook his head and said, "Tsk tsk, I'll kill one without saying anything. A fool to the end, hey, young man..."

I looked at Brother Qingyu's retreating back, thinking of Aunt Qing's words, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After that day, never saw Brother Herring again.

At first, I thought he was delaying something, and I didn't want to go down like this for half a month without seeing him.

I asked Qing Gu many times, but she didn't answer me. She found an old lady to cook and clean for us, so she still buried herself in the pharmacy and stayed at home.

In the days without Brother Herring, there is no reading in the daytime, and there is no sound of the flute to accompany you to fall asleep at night, I realized that although he is a tepid person, it is easy to make people feel dependent, and he comes and goes without a trace , It is very uncomfortable to be quiet.

The days are getting warmer day by day, and the flowers in Qinggu's courtyard are blooming happily, especially the sunflowers. The breeze blows through the flowers, and the warm sun is shining, so that when Brother Herring reappears, the whole person is filled with the golden light of the flowers. sparkling.

I was staggering in the courtyard on crutches at the time, when he appeared so suddenly, I almost fell, and when he saw this, he hurried forward to help him, but he accidentally knocked over the stone steps. Endured laughing, he got up in embarrassment and couldn't help but raise his mouth.

He said that he had been out fishing for more than half a month.

The harvest was huge, and I wanted to buy deep-sea cod that I hadn’t bought at that time. In the next few days, I would make a whole fish feast for Qing Gu and I to eat.

I looked at his face and asked, "Why do you look so bad?"

Brother Qingyu's eyes drifted away and said, "I'm seasick, just wait two days."

"..." The fisherman was seasick?

Brother Qingyu's complexion took a full ten days to see a slight improvement. Seeing that I was asking for warmth every day, he finally couldn't help but say, "I'm really fine, but I just feel a little cold."

I was very worried: "Now the plague is in the nüè, will you be infected?"

Brother Qingyu said, "I'm very touched that you care about me so much, but..."

I interrupted: "If you are infected with the plague, don't get too close to me, I am weak and afraid of being infected..."

Brother Herring: "..."

What I said was naturally a joke, but Brother Herring smiled reluctantly that day. I didn't ask why, although we were not familiar with each other, silence had already become our tacit understanding.

When I heard the sound of the xiao again that night, I lay on the bed and struggled for a long time. Finally, I got up and dressed. I limped along the sound with crutches. As expected, I sat on the stone steps under the moonlight and played the flute quietly. It's Brother Herring.

He stopped when he heard the sound of the crutches, and looked back at me, I turned around and said with a smile: "Qing Gu's medical skills are really amazing, you see, I can go out for a walk in only two months, okay? What a coincidence."

Brother Qingyu nodded slightly and said softly, "Yeah, what a coincidence."

I sat down beside him, picked up his bamboo flute and looked at it, "I still think, it turns out that the nice sound of the flute during this time was yours, eh, what kind of song is it?"

Brother Qingyu smiled slightly: "I don't know either, but I just pick up the flute by accident and it will be chuī."

I played with the bamboo flute and said, "Such an inconspicuous and broken flute can make you produce a master-level flute sound. Do you think you were a musician before?"

Brother Herring was amused by me.

I continued, "Well, when my legs are healed, I'll buy you a jade flute. Maybe you'll be able to make a sound of nature and go around the beam for three days?"

Brother Qingyu didn't smile again this time. He raised his eyes and glanced at the moon in the sky: "Tomorrow I will go to sea again, and the return date is uncertain. The girl will not need to wait for a month to heal her leg injury, right?" He looked at me, "Go home early, a girl's house should stop wandering around and worrying her parents."

The wind was very warm, and it tickled my forehead. I nodded and smiled insincerely, "Well, it shouldn't be."

Brother Qingyu stood up and said gently: "It's late at night, it's time to rest, I'll take you back."

He didn't say anything until he sent me back to the gate of Qinggu's house. When we parted, I clearly saw what he wanted to say, and clearly saw something flashing in his eyes, but it was gone before I could catch it.

I recalled what the fisherman who was fishing with Brother Herring said to me on the side of the road a few days ago: "He? He sold his boat long ago, so why would he go to sea with us? Don't tell me about the sea. Yesterday I let him go. He helped me, but who knew that he couldn't even pull the fishing net, hey, how did it become like this in less than two months?"
