"Come with me, I know a place." Su Jinchen said.
"Yes." Taohua carried the package back on her back, then lifted the lantern, and supported Su Jinchen with one hand.
"No, I can do it myself." Su Jinchen wanted to break away from Taohua's hand, but Taohua just didn't let go.
"Haha, if you look harder, I don't believe that you are stronger than me now?" Taohua smiled at him, her eyes clear and a little smile overflowed.
Su Jinchen felt something like something was inside his eyes. He turned his head and blinked hard, as if he was about to blink away the thing that slipped in quietly, but he felt his eyes were getting sore.
Never thought she looked so good when she smiled. He thought.
Peach blossoms helped Su Jinchen walk deep into the grave. The darkness beside him seemed to be no longer scary at all, and the light and dark phosphorescence also became cute. Peach blossom accidentally stepped on his feet, leaving behind a long and starlight.
"Oh." When passing by a small pile of soil, Taohua accidentally stepped on the air and sprained it.
"Is it okay?" Su Jinchen was startled and quickly leaned over to look.
"It's okay, it's okay." Taohua stopped Su Jinchen, then bent down and lifted her shoes, and said, "Just sprained, nothing big happened."
"It's fine, don't worry, it'll be here soon."
Sure enough, following Su Jinchen's guidance, he turned a small bend, climbed up a small slope, and walked two more steps forward. The sound of running water was vaguely heard in front of him. The night wind suddenly became a little colder, and next to it was a small cave, with hazy light coming out of the cave.
"Is there anyone here?" Taohua said strangely as she looked at the dark hole.
"I was here just now." Su Jinchen said, and then pulled her over without waiting for Taohua to ask.
The cave is not big, about the size of a room, and it is more than enough for two people to stay here. The floor is covered with simple bedding, food and oil lamps.
"What's going on?" Taohua was surprised.
Su Jinchen had been away for a long time and could not bear it. His face became paler. Taohua quickly helped him lie on the floor, "Lying down and rest, stop talking."
"and you……"
"Don't worry about me, close your eyes and have a good rest." Before Su Jinchen finished speaking, Taohua forced him to close his eyes and rest.
Su Jinchen was really tired and fell asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. When he woke up in a daze again, it was noon the next day. He could only smell an indescribable smell of the medicine. He felt that something was fed into his mouth. He felt that the smell was even worse than the smell that came out. He was about to gagging, but someone forced his mouth to cover it with his hands. There was a faint fragrance in his nose, which could not be described as it smelled, but it smelled very nice. Before he knew it, he swallowed the medicine, and then another wave of tiredness came. Su Jinchen fell asleep again before he could open his eyes.
I only occasionally open my eyes and see a figure vaguely shaking in front of me, or sitting quietly beside me. Sometimes I hear singing, singing softly like murmuring, and sometimes I will caress my cold face. It feels warm and soft. He can't help but lean over, just want to get closer and closer.
"Su Jinchen, you must get better." Taohua held Su Jinchen's hand and pressed it between her eyebrows, whispering, feeling full of anticipation and anxiety.
"Peach Blossom." Finally, Su Jinchen woke up.
"Ah?" Taohua suddenly looked up and said in surprise: "Are you awake? How about you? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Do you drink porridge? Or drink some water first?"
"Haha, after all your words," Su Jinchen said weakly, "I want to ask you if you drink water."
The coma for many days made the boy look even weaker. Now the smile he tried hard to raise looked very difficult, like a long-closed pearl jade has lost its color, but his eyes emitted a strange light, deep, shallow, and unstable, as if he had seen the most beautiful, gentle, and most worthy of attachment in the world.
"Wait, I'll pour you water." Taohua said as she was about to get up, but her hand was gently grabbed by Su Jinchen.
Taohua didn't dare to fight hard, so she turned around and looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Su Jinchen shook his head and followed her tightly, watching her take down the tea stove on the fire, watching her look for tea bowls, and to see her pouring tea, the tea stove was a little hot, and she almost got burnt. She shook her hand in a hurry, and Su Jinchen also felt nervous, wishing that it was her hot, and then she watched her take the spoon and stir the hot tea water constantly while blowing. The rising hot air was misty white, making her face look a bit fairy-like, and her glittering eyes seemed to be strangely beautiful across the clouds, mountains, fog and sea.
Seeing him looking at him, Taohua thought he was anxious to drink water, so she comforted him and said, "Don't worry, the water is a little hot, I'll blow it cool for you before drinking."
No hurry. Su Jinchen answered silently in his heart. He thought it would be great that time would be able to stop at this moment. She stood in front of him and looked at him and smiled.
When it felt almost done, Taohua tasted a little, then nodded with satisfaction, then walked over, put the tea bowl aside, carefully helped Su Jinchen sit up, and then fed him water with a spoon.
"I'll do it." Su Jinchen said.
"Okay." Taohua answered simply, handed the bowl over neatly, then smiled and watched Su Jinchen raise his hand hard, his arms tremblingly trying to take the tea bowl.
"Okay, stop showing off your strength. You have been in a coma for three days. Even if you are an ordinary person lying on the bed for three days, you are weak all over, let alone you, a patient. Let me do it." Taohua pressed his hand down.
Su Jinchen was silent, and then obediently fed Taohua to him and took a sip.
Taohua saw his appearance and naturally knew that he could not accept his useless appearance. She deliberately teased him: "Don't worry, it won't take long to be the healthy and lively Su Jinchen. When we go back together, it will definitely scare the villagers. Maybe I think you are a god and descend to earth."
"Yeah." Listening to the chirping sound of peach blossoms in his ears, Su Jinchen looked at the newly renovated small cave. This was already a warm little room, and it was long gone, the desolate and dilapidated one he had when he first came.
There was a small wooden table and two small stools. On the wooden table, there were bouquets of different colors scattered around the cave. A simple earth stove was piled up at the entrance of the cave. There were something stewed in the casserole. A simple clothes hanger was set up at the entrance of the cave, and there were clothes that had been changed. The mountain wind blew, making a rustling sound. A piece of clothes just blew off. Peach blossoms hurriedly went out to pick them up and then put them on again. Su Jinchen saw that it was the white clothes he had worn before. He couldn't help but look at the clean clothes on his body. Then he noticed that he was sleeping with a thick layer of straw under his bed, and the mattress under him was also warm and tidy. There was also a small floor next to him. At first glance, he knew it was peach blossoms, but it was much simpler than his own.
Su Jinchen could not imagine how a little girl dressed herself and how hard she moved herself. Without looking, he could feel that her hands and face must be clean, and she must wipe it every day.
At this moment, I just felt that the sourness in my heart was even more unbearable than the pain of this illness. The sourness was sweet and helpless.
