Volume 5, Phoenix Blossoms, Chapter 20

Second update.

******************

During dinner at night, Tengshe shouted that he would use the fruit grains of the ears to make rice. He didn't do anything else in the afternoon, so he was busy picking up rice grains under the tree, picking up two small cloth bags. Yu Sifeng couldn't persuade him, so he had to put the old rice somewhere else and cook the rice grains of the ears to the ears.

They were clamoring in the kitchen, and Xuan Ji changed the medicine in the bedroom. Yu Sifeng picked a few herbs and added them to the original scald medicine. When she applied it, she didn't feel any pain, and she felt a vaguely cool feeling. But the two pieces of scald were really terrible. The new blisters were worn out and swollen and swelled up very high. The most important thing was that the scald was on the thigh, the tenderest part, and the pain made her sweat in cold sweat when applying the medicine.

She was really like a fool today. Xuan Ji thought to herself in her heart. She looked forward to it, searched and looked for it, but she finally saw it, but this was the situation. As expected, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Yu Sifeng hugged her down from the mountain and never said a word again. She was only concerned about being sad and crying. However, no matter what, she finally saw him and hugged him tightly. He seemed to have grown a lot taller and stronger again, and was no longer the slim boy who used to be. I think in his eyes, he had also changed a lot. After all, he hadn't seen him for almost two years.

What to do in the future? She didn't know, so she might as well take one step at a time and recover the injury here first. The phoenix chase action is not over and you just find him. Chu Xuanji, you have to work harder. Linglong and the sixth senior brother have already made a ceremony to make a marriage. You are still struggling here, and you will definitely be laughed at by Linglong when you look back.

No matter what, it is serious to stay here and not leave!

Xuan Ji cleaned up the bandage he had replaced. Suddenly, someone called Mr. Yi outside the door. She turned around and ran out. She saw a girl with long braids standing outside the fence. It was Lanlan. The girl had no good feelings for her before. When she saw her staying in Mr. Yi's house, she seemed to be an old acquaintance with him. She couldn't help but be even more angry and asked her directly: "How can you enter his house casually! He lives alone!"

Xuan Ji was stunned for a moment, as if she couldn't react to who Mr. Yi was. Suddenly, she realized that she was talking about Yu Sifeng. Ha, why did he think of taking such a strange name? But it really suited his identity. He was the twelve-feathered Golden-winged Bird. The three words "Winged Master Yi" were the most appropriate. She didn't pay attention to it before.

She said, "Mr. Yi and I...well, we are old friends for many years. I didn't expect that he lived here and hadn't seen each other for a while, so I stayed for a few days. Does Miss Lanlan have something to do with him? He is cooking now."

Lanlan stomped her feet and said, "How could you let someone like him cook! You...you are so!" She bent down and put the things she was carrying on the ground. It turned out to be a basket of eggs. She said, "This is the new egg laid by my hen. My mother asked me to send it to Mr. Yi to try it. How many days do you want to stay here?"

Xuan Ji remembered that the little girl had a good impression of Yu Sifeng, no wonder she was so aggressive. She smiled and said, "Thank you. I don't know how many days I will stay, but I won't leave for the time being."

Lan Lan bit her lip, and after a while, she whispered: "I really didn't expect that you and him are old acquaintances... Can you tell me that he used to..." Speaking of this, she suddenly shook her head suddenly, "No, forget it! Don't tell me. A person like him, who is as good as a hero and beautiful female hero as you, must have an extraordinary status. Maybe she is a prince or nobleman. No wonder she looks down on the little girl from ordinary families..."

Xuan Ji was hesitating whether to tell him the past when Yu Sifeng was a tragic young man. All princes and nobles were guessing, but suddenly Tengshe shouted behind him, "Who is muttering there?" As he said that, he came out of the kitchen. When Lanlan saw his silver hair and fierce appearance, she almost froze. Tengshe's eyes stopped on her, and immediately saw the eggs on the ground, quickly lifted them up, and smiled, "Ah, the eggs are given! Thank you!" After that, he turned his face and ran into the kitchen, shouting, "Si Feng! Add another scrambled egg tonight!"

Someone in the kitchen said something, and then Yu Sifeng walked out. When he saw Lanlan, he was slightly stunned and nodded, "So it's this girl, thank you for your eggs."

Lanlan's face suddenly turned red and she almost started to burn, and she whispered: "No, no...you're welcome. Young Master Yi has a guest... It's me, I'm reckless..."

Yu Sifeng nodded again, went over and gently supported Xuan Ji, and said softly: "If you have any scalds, don't leave, go into the house and have dinner immediately." Xuan Ji nodded, and the two walked in side by side. Lanlan saw that they were smiling intimately, with a natural expression, and she was like a couple with deep love, and she couldn't help feeling extremely sad.

She suddenly shouted from behind: "Young Master Yi, I have collected the eggs, it's not a good fortune! Tomorrow... I'll come again tomorrow!" After that, she fell down and ran away quickly.

Xuan Ji looked at her back and said lightly: "That girl likes you very much, Young Master Yi."

When Yu Sifeng heard her deliberately call her this name, she couldn't help but raise her hand and tap her head gently, smiling: "Don't talk nonsense."

Prince Xuan Ji smiled and said, "This is not a nonsense. Today, someone told me in the inn in person, saying that you have a good character and great power. People with daughters here are eager to marry your daughter to you. Mr. Yi is so powerful and romantic."

He smiled softly again, without explaining. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Is it you who eliminated the monsters in the inn today?"

"It's me. Actually, that's not a powerful monster, but a weasel who is about to become a spirit who is coming to revenge... Ah! By the way! My scarf!" Xuan Ji shouted, then she remembered to give the fur to Tailor Li. As a result, it was dark and she hadn't taken it yet. If she dragged it until the next day, she would have to pay an extra day of wages.

Yu Sifeng asked the reason and quickly helped her get the scarf back. Seeing that the dirty fur that had been made very clean and the style of the scarf was very generous, Xuan Ji held it in her hand for a while and suddenly waved to Yu Sifeng: "Si Feng, come here."

Yu Sifeng walked over without knowing the reason, and she suddenly raised her hand, tied the scarf around his neck, looked left and right, and smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, it's better to wear it for men. Let's give it to you." He quietly lowered his head and touched the smooth fur, then smiled: "Thank you then."

After dinner, Yu Sifeng packed some of her own debris in the bedroom and moved to another tiled house to sleep. In the mountains, the night was extremely cool, and the hotness during the day was washed away by the moonlight. Xuan Ji tossed and turned on the bed, but she couldn't sleep peacefully. First, the bed was really uncomfortable, and second, thinking that this place was where Sifeng lived for more than a year, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up. She felt that everything she could smelled in her nose was his breath, and third, she remembered the days she had spent with him.

How intimate they used to be, they shared a bed with pillows and covered themselves with a quilt and talked a lot of nonsense. In the end, she was sleepy and hugged in his arms and fell asleep. When they woke up the next day, their long hair was entangled together, and they had to work for a long time. It was both angry and funny. Xuan Ji once thought that even in the past ten or twenty years, there would be no change between them, let alone in just over a year.

But she was wrong.

Really, some things are the past, and they will never become a carefree young man and woman who were once a carefree 16 or 17 years old. She will no longer pester him, ask him to sleep with her, and will not cry willfully say something hurting him. Some things are quietly changing, and Xuan Ji doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

During the two years of gap, both of them need to adapt to the changes in each other.

She searched for him for a long time, and thought she had finally found him. But he was no longer the "he" and she was not the "her" in his impression. Strangely, she was not depressed by this change. She even had a curious inquiry mentality, wanting to know the details of his life in the past two years, wanting to know more and more, as if she met someone again, everything started from scratch.

Will he think so too? Will he not believe her yet? Don’t want to see her?

No, I will leave these annoying questions until later. She just needs to stay here, just stay here... Xuan Ji gradually fell asleep and heard the lingering sound of the piano before falling asleep. It was very far away and seemed very close, and someone was playing the seven-stringed piano gently.

The sound of the piano was like a melodious whisper, hugging her, coaxing her, and sticking to every inch of her skin, everything was warm.

Xuan Ji soon realized the enthusiasm and unrestrainedness of the girl in Xigu. For example, Lan Lan, she was not discouraged by Xuan Ji's existence. She came over every day without any trouble. She started by using the excuse of giving things. Originally, Yu Sifeng lived alone and did not accept anything, just like a wall of iron walls. But since the Tengshe, the eater, came, the effect of the wall of iron walls has completely disappeared.

As long as it was delivered, he searched it without hesitation. After the villager understood this bad habit, girls from other families kept sending delicious food. Tengshe didn't understand the psychology of these daughters at all. He was happy if he had something to eat. However, as the saying goes, eating people is short-mouthed, taking people with short hands, and collecting so many things from others. Yu Sifeng was embarrassed to keep people away with a cold face, so Lanlan changed from sending food to helping with drying herbs every day, tidying up the messy medicine shop, and became a regular customer.

This girl has a terrible tenacity, like a wire rope. No matter how cold Yu Sifeng looks, she doesn't care. She even puts her heart into herbs and tries to study herbs. When she encounters someone she doesn't understand, she asks him, and uses this as an excuse to say a few more words to him. Yu Sifeng is not stingy in this regard, answering questions and is completely like a good teacher.

On this day, Xuan Ji followed Yu Sifeng up the mountain to take care of the herbs. Her scalds were almost healed. She always felt itchy these days and didn't dare to scratch it with her hands. So he said he would add a few more new medicines to relieve itch. The two got up early and just carried the medicine basket. Lanlan came. When they heard that they were going to the mountain, they said they wanted to see herbs they had never seen before.

To be honest, Xuan Ji did not hate this girl. In some ways, she even thought it was quite fun, not to mention that Si Feng was popular, which was something she deserved to be proud of. Perhaps because she had always been confident from the bottom of her heart that Yu Sifeng would not give any other woman a green eye, so she could relax and natural.

However, the situation today is very different. Along the way, Lanlan asked questions and asked questions. Yu Sifeng asked questions and answered questions. When picking herbs, she also asked about the function of each herbs seriously. Yu Sifeng was so excited that she simply pointed out each herb and explained it one by one. Xuan Ji stood beside her for a while, but no one paid attention to her. She knew nothing about herbs and couldn't even get into her mouth. Suddenly she felt like a redundant person.

She is not unfamiliar with this feeling. From childhood to adulthood, she has been experiencing this sense of alienation. Everyone is laughing and talking, but no one cares about her and cares about her. She stands alone, like a touch of flaw in the painting. She has been looking for a place where she exists, but no one is willing to give it to her.
