Dream
Scene 1, a tall and steep mountain. A delicate looking medicine boy dressed in coarse linen clothes was carrying a bamboo basket on his back. He was climbing up the cliff with all his might and finally reached the top of the cliff. The sun shone high in the sky and the multicolored light flickered. In the cracks of the huge rocks, a gorgeous seven-leaf lotus jumped into his eyes, dazzling and eye-catching.
The young man happily went forward and plucked the precious herbs. Joy appeared on his handsome face as he washed away his fatigue. He waved his hand to wipe away the sweat on his forehead and prepared to go down the mountain.
Suddenly, a cry came from the sky above him. The young man looked up and saw a phoenix crowned vermilion bird circling in the sky under the golden light. Its beautiful feathers spread out and glided. In Gou Hong's sharp claws was a white snake with a long beard. At first, the white snake was like a frosted eggplant and was as soft as a rope. When the vermilion bird flew to the top of the young man's head, the white snake suddenly opened its spiritual eyes and bent its body. It spat on the vermilion bird's leg like lightning.
The Vermilion Bird was caught off guard and opened its claws in pain. The white snake fell down with a long and sharp hiss. The Vermilion Bird was extremely angry, but it was unable to turn around immediately due to inertia.
The young man caught the white snake and saw that the white snake was covered in wounds. He was in pain. Looking at the vermilion bird in the sky, which was about to be turned around and swooped down, the young man gently curled the white snake and placed it into the bamboo building behind him, holding the sickle tightly. After a fierce battle, feathers flew everywhere, and the young man also had a few more wounds. For the time being, they were evenly matched, but a phoenix that had its feathers plucked was inferior to a chicken. The phoenix-crowned vermilion bird looked angrily at the youth, and then, with a few ear-piercing screeches, it flew away unwillingly.。。。
When they reached the foot of the mountain, the young man took out the white snake and stroked it tenderly. He applied some herbs on it and comforted her gently," Little white snake! Little white snake, stop playing around and go home early! The white snake circled around the young man's legs three times, kowtowed, and returned to the forest.
Scene 2:
An old man in coarse clothes was lying on a wooden bed in a simple thatched hut. The old man's face was yellow and his eyes were open and closed. His thin facial muscles twitched in pain from time to time, and his mouth let out a low groan. Looking down, he saw that the old man's right leg pants were rolled up high, and there were large purple and black soybean bumps on the hundred-year-old bark-like skin on his withered leg. He knew the reason for the old man's pain.
An old woman was sitting in front of him, wiping her linen sleeves as she sobbed. There were seven or eight villagers in the house. They were discussing animatedly. Some were comforting the old woman, while others were discussing the old man's illness. Someone said," An old man was fishing in the lake a few days ago. Unfortunately, he was stung by a water centipede and injured his foot. This water centipede is extremely poisonous. Now that the poison has taken effect, it has already rotted away." He had to quickly amputate his leg. If he was slow, he was afraid that the poison would spread throughout his body and his life would be lost. Another person said,"Poor old man has no children. If his legs are amputated, how can he fish if he's crippled? How can he live in the future?"。。。
Hearing the old man's fear, the old woman's tears grew louder and she said," Heavens! What did you teach me about this bitter life? What should I do? Everyone was helpless and dispirited. After a long time, someone said,"If you're lame, you can live a good life. In the future, you can try to get more help from your neighbors." The old man seemed to have accepted his fate and sighed. Then let's cut it off!
At this moment, someone shouted, Doctor Cheng is here. Everyone hurriedly looked into the courtyard and saw a handsome young man dressed in Confucian clothes walking over. Someone had already welcomed Doctor Cheng into the house. Everyone respectfully gave way, and the old woman hurriedly bowed and begged Physician Cheng.
The young man sat in front of the window, holding the old man's leg and looking at it carefully. Everyone was nervous and did not dare to make a sound. After a while, the young man chuckled and put down the old man's leg.
"How is Doctor Cheng?" the old woman asked in a low voice. Can this leg be saved?"
The young man waved his hand and smiled." It's fine, it's fine. I just saw that the edges of the pustule on his leg are white and healing. This external injury can be healed. It's the poison of the water centipede. Coincidentally, I picked a horse chestnut lotus at the cliff peak yesterday to resolve this internal poison. I'll prescribe some medicine. You kill chickens every day to make chicken soup for him. It won't take long for him to recover."”
The old woman was overjoyed when she heard this. The old man also shouted happily, This means that my leg is safe, and I can still fish in the future.。。。
Everyone praised Doctor Cheng's medical skills and even praised the divine doctor. The youth could only agree. After a while, the old woman showed a worried expression and said,"Doctor Cheng, look at the consultation fee.。。”
The young man quickly waved his hand and said," Doctors have the heart of a parent. They treat patients, save people, do good deeds, and have medical ethics. They will naturally be rewarded. There's no need to mention the consultation fee."”
The old woman thanked him profusely. The old man anxiously shouted on the bed," How could Doctor Cheng do this? We can't afford the consultation fee, but we can't let you go back empty-handed. He said that he had caught a carp in the lake a few days ago and asked Doctor Cheng to accept it. As he spoke, he asked the old woman to retrieve it.
This carp had eyes like pearls, colorful scales, rosy fins, a beard like a snake, and divine feathers. The youth could not refuse and had to accept it. On the way back, they passed by a lotus pond. The young man carried a small bucket to the side of the pond and picked up the carp. Carp, carp, go back. Don't play near the shallow water again. In a few days, when my legs recover, I'll go fishing again. Don't let him catch you again. The carp wagged its tail as if it understood. The youth threw it into the pool. The carp spun three times in the water and jumped out of the water. It shook its head as if it was reluctant to part. The young man smiled and said,"Naughty, go back!"
The top of Kunlun Mountain was covered in snow. In front of the Snow Temple, an old man with white hair and a gray beard stood with his hands behind his back. Three feet behind the old man was a handsome young man who was about sixteen or seventeen years old. His clothes were simple, and his eyes were simple, but there was a depth to them. His youthful face revealed a tenacious and unyielding look.
The young man was silent and obedient. Then, a voice that was as lofty and deep as a hundred-year-old pine tree sounded, There is no need to ask further. I have already made arrangements for this experiential learning trip down the mountain. After you leave the mountain, don't easily say that you are my disciple. After you leave the mountain, find someone and give this letter to him. At that time, you will understand. That person's surname is Yun. Call him Uncle Yun. He will take you in and you may live in his house for a long time.“
As he spoke, a piece of paper and a withered yellow envelope floated in front of the young man." Disciple will remember this." The young man bowed respectfully.
"Go!" The old man's figure had long disappeared, and his voice came out of the air like a gust of wind.
The young man picked up the piece of paper. On it was a series of addresses. "Ugh! Sigh! Sigh! Damn old man, you left just like that and didn't give me anything. You're so stingy!”The young man roared for no reason.
"I, Cheng Xuan, am 16 years old this year and will soon be 17 years old. My height of 1.75 meters is considered average in class. Due to malnutrition, my body is thin, but I'm capable. The only thing I'm glad about is that my face is still slightly handsome. However, when I wear that shabby set of clothes in Shuangshi High School, which is either rich or noble, my handsomeness looks very ordinary. Because I have no parents, I only have a grandpa who picks up trash in the Laocheng District. I was lucky enough to get into the city's key high school, S City's Shuangshi High School, with the lowest grades." Now, he rented a living room, a bedroom, a bathroom, a small balcony, and a small room with a small kitchen of three square meters in the city. The monthly rent was 600 yuan. According to the old master, my father died when I was three years old and my mother ran away when I was five. The old master raised Cheng Xuan by picking up trash. He was bullied when he had a father but no mother, so he fought a lot since he was young. Cheng Xuan was definitely not a bookworm or a good student. He had always been a regular problem student in the school's academic affairs office. However, when he arrived at Shuangshi Middle School, he changed his personality. He remained silent and never caused trouble. If there was a situation, he would walk around with his head lowered and hide in the darkest corner to watch the show. If he was thrown into a crowd and disappeared without a trace, even his classmates would have to think for a long time before they could figure out his name. This was not because Cheng Xuan had really changed his personality. Although he had the kind heart in his bones, he was definitely not a good person. The reason why he felt that he was a pushover was because Double Ten High School was definitely considered a private school for the wealthy. The students here all had solid backgrounds. No matter what kind of person they were, they were not to be trifled with. In order to avoid being envied, they would deliberately act low-key every time they took the exam. He recalled how ambitious he was when he vowed to attend Shuangshi High School in the middle school department. When he received the admission letter, he even showed off in the old city's civilian district. The old man even opened his ten-year collection and was drunk. He dragged Cheng Xuan with him to bring the admission letter and showed it off to the old neighbors in the potholed alley. Cheng Xuan became the role model that encouraged the boys in the alley to study hard and improve every day. However, after entering Double Ten High School, Cheng Xuan finally understood what it meant to have a glamorous appearance. Even living on campus was more expensive than renting a house outside. Cheng Xuan resolutely chose to attend day school, but at the same time, it was also convenient for him to work part-time.
In a daze, the scene became more and more blurry. All the colors fused into white, and the light became brighter and more dazzling. The sound of "beep, beep" came from somewhere, becoming more and more ear-piercing. It was as if the entire world was shaking, and the sound shattered the image in Cheng Xuan's mind like ultrasound. The sound shook the entire room. A hand reached out from the blanket, and with a " pa ", an object flew from the head of the bed to the wall not far away." Ka, ka ", the sound of a certain component falling to the ground, and the ear-piercing sound that circled the room earlier disappeared.
Slowly, a young man crawled out of bed, put on his clothes, rubbed his shoes, and groped his way to the bathroom with hazy eyes. It was not easy for him to not have to work part-time for two days in a month, plus it was a good weekend. He had two beautiful dreams, but he was woken up by the alarm clock.
He brushed his teeth and washed his face in a daze. His head was still a little dizzy. This was a symptom of sleeping for a long time. Cheng Xuan turned on the water and filled his head with a basin of cold water. He held his breath and immersed half of his head in the water to try to wake himself up. However, his mind was still muddled as he thought about the two dreams. He thought about the battle between the white snake and the small carp that caused the mountains to collapse and the space to shatter. That kind of physical shock and that kind of oppressive pressure seemed so real. Cheng Xuan shook his head and felt that it was unrealistic. Was it because he had read too many fantasy novels that were unrealistic?
When he could no longer hold his breath and his mind was much clearer, he raised his head and took a deep breath. He wiped his face with his hand, tidied his hair and clothes, changed his shoes, and went out for breakfast. He bought two buns, a fried dough stick, and a bottle of soy milk. He ate them as he walked. As he ate, he thought about where to go today. He usually didn't have time. When he was working part-time, he always wanted to turn on the computer and play games when he had time. However, today, he was inexplicably frustrated. He bought breakfast and didn't want to go back to his room immediately. Because his pocket was flat, he couldn't go anywhere fun and spend money. Thus, he unintentionally stayed on the road. After breakfast, he walked for a long time and still couldn't think of anything.
Naturally, he took out his phone and looked at the time. It was 9:52. It was still too early to go back. He looked around and unknowingly walked to Old Sai's milk tea shop, which was more than 500 meters away from where he lived. This milk tea shop was the one that Cheng Xuan visited the most. It was not big, and a row of hard seats in front of the cabinet could only seat about ten people. In front of the shop was a small square with a wide view. There was a big banyan tree in the middle of the square. Under the tree were a few rows of stone seats. During the day and night, they would never stop playing and resting here. Therefore, there were always a few small vendors selling gadgets under the banyan tree, snacks such as candied haws. More importantly, the owner of this milk tea shop was very affordable. Every grade was much cheaper than other places. Other places sold a large cup of pearl milk tea for 8 yuan, but here it was only 5 yuan.
There was only a couple in the shop who casually ordered two glasses and sat at the side, chatting and chatting to pass the time. Cheng Xuan ignored it out of habit. He sat down and ordered a cup of plum green tea that cost 3 yuan. His eyes looked at the square, looking for something new.
Suddenly, Cheng Xuan's pupils widened, and his eyeballs were about to pop out. His face was filled with shock, and his cheeks were clenched tightly. His mouth was wide open, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He was extremely surprised, and his pair of thieving eyes stared straight ahead without blinking. Less than ten meters ahead, there was a woman with long hair that reached her shoulders. Her hair was full of black hair, and her facial features were exquisite. Her big eyes were like water and mist, and she could talk. Her skin was like snow and frost, and it could be broken by a single blow. She was over 1.6 meters tall, and the collar of her white blouse had a blue border. She wore a blue pencil skirt, revealing her fair and slender legs. She was about 15 or 16 years old, and she was as pure as a lotus flower with dew in the morning under the warm sun. She could be seen from afar but could not be touched.
At this moment, the girl bent over and approached the cane that was filled with candied haws. From Cheng Xuan's point of view, the girl was half-bent and sideways. Her gentle and beautiful arc, small buttocks, smooth and straight long legs, a small chest that was still developing, and a delicate face that was half-covered by a pile of black hair that was scattered down her back were like a pure and mesmerizing eyebrow. It was all fatal attraction, so much so that it created a beautiful scenery that attracted many gazes.
"Boss, how much is this candied haws?”A sweet girl's voice asked. The middle-aged man who sold candied haws stared at the girl for a long time before he came back to his senses and said with a drawl,"The small ones are 1.50 yuan each, and the big ones are 3 yuan each.”The young girl pouted and said cutely,""Boss, it's cheaper. It's 6 yuan for two big skewers and a small one.”The boss didn't delay the price too much and agreed. Maybe it was because there weren't many people buying it, or maybe the girl was too cute.
What surprised Cheng Xuan wasn't that the girl was too beautiful, but that her body was too familiar. It was so familiar that Cheng Xuan had to close his eyes and sleep a few times a day. The girl took the candied haws and turned around with a smile. She looked as cute as she could be. Cheng Xuan was dumbfounded. He knew that girl from time to time. He was extremely familiar with her. In private, he secretly thought about it. There were at least 800 losers 'dream lovers in school. The famous ice queen, the daughter of the sh * t elder, and the school belle of Shanghai's Double Ten High School, Shen Yue?
The girl's smile only lasted for an instant. When she stood up and took the first step elegantly, her smile had already disappeared. Like a blooming flower, she retracted back into the flower base that was filled with flowers as if time had reversed. The fierce aura effect instantly unfolded, making Cheng Xuan stunned. The smile just now was just an illusion. Cheng Xuan panicked as he watched the girl slowly walk towards him. He was so stunned that he couldn't say a word. He could only stare at her, but his nervousness was only in his heart. On the surface, he was as calm as ever. It was as if he had recognized her as an old friend. Just as Cheng Xuan was hesitating whether to call her…
Shen Yue called out when she was about five meters away,"What a coincidence to meet you here, Cheng Xuan.”Sheng Yin greeted him happily and even gave him a faint smile, as if he had met a good friend.
But bro, I only looked up to her from afar. I didn't have much interaction with her in school. Moreover, I wasn't famous in school. Since she recognized me and even called out my name as if she was familiar, Cheng Xuan, who thought she wouldn't recognize me, blushed awkwardly. "Yes, yes, yes, it's a coincidence."”
Her furtive eyes did not stop for a moment as she watched Shen Yue walk to her side.”Shen Yue asked naturally.
Cheng Xuan was still staring at her excitedly, but he couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. He answered quickly,"Yes, I'm alone. I came here to sit if I have nothing to do.”
Shen Yue sat beside Cheng Xuan generously. She turned around beautifully and pushed a skewer of candied haws in front of Cheng Xuan."I'll treat you to ice-sugar haws, and you treat me to tea!”
Cheng Xuan was surprised. Happiness came too suddenly. The school belle treated him to ice-sugar haws and even took the initiative to ask him to treat her to tea. His joy was indescribable. He planned to treat her to the most expensive 20-yuan milk macchiato, chicken wings, and the flesh and blood set meal without feeling bad. He said excitedly and expectantly,""Sure!"
She carefully took the candied haws from Shen Yue's hands and spun them in front of her eyes. There were countless people in school who wanted this skewer of candied haws. When they got it, they would definitely be moved and excited to tears.
Shen Yue turned around and nibbled on the small skewer of candied haws as she looked at the menu seriously. Shen Yue nibbled on it faster, taking one bite at a time. However, she did not seem to like it. The red rock candy stuck to her lips, but Cheng Xuan did not feel that it was wrong. Instead, it felt more appropriate. The distance between the two of them had narrowed. They were more like friends and not two extremes of heaven and earth. He looked at Shen Yue's beautiful face in a daze. Coupled with the fragrance that Shen Yue emitted, Her body was agitated and her face was red.
After Shen Yue finished eating the small skewer of candied haws, she raised her head and said gently,"Just a cup of black tea. A medium cup will do.”
Eh! Cheng Xuan was prepared to bleed, but he did not expect Shen Yue to only order a few yuan worth of black tea. Cheng Xuan shouted in embarrassment,"Uncle, give me a cup of black tea."
The boss seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he quickly smiled."Kid, not bad! Such a beautiful girl and you're treating her to black tea.”The uncle had misunderstood their relationship and thought that Cheng Xuan was flirting with girls. He was dissatisfied with his stingy teasing.
Cheng Xuan's heart thumped as he buried his head. He peeked at Shen Yue's reaction and did not explain. In fact, there was nothing to explain. The more he described it, the more it would make him feel disgusted. Shen Yue only smiled and said,"Uncle, black tea is fine."”
"There aren't many girls as beautiful and chaste as you these days," the uncle said with a silly smile.”The uncle said purely because he liked Shen Yue's praise. However, it attracted the attention of the couple who were eating the set meal and looked at Cheng Xuan. The couple next to them fell silent. Perhaps they did not notice it before, but now that they saw Shen Yue's beautiful face, the woman was obviously jealous. She glanced at her twice and turned her face away. The man's gaze was filled with envy and greed. He looked at Cheng Xuan with a hint of unwillingness. He was pinched by his girlfriend beside him before he reluctantly turned his gaze away. Then, the two of them whispered to each other again and looked over from time to time. It was obvious that they were discussing Cheng Xuan and his wife.
Shen Yue did not mind. Cheng Xuan was indeed a little shy and arrogant, making others envious and jealous. How could a young man hide this kind of smug happiness?
"Shen Yue, why are you here?”Cheng Xuan asked softly. Shen Yue narrowed her eyes and looked at Cheng Xuan with a cold expression. "No, no," Cheng Xuan quickly waved his hand and said,"I mean, why are you here?"”
"Why are you drinking tea here?" Shen Yue asked instead of answering.”
Cheng Xuan did not know why Shen Yue would ask this question and replied naturally,"I live nearby." Cheng Xuan suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, but he forcefully suppressed his urge to ask,"You live here too?" Impulse.
However, Shen Yue could tell what Cheng Xuan was thinking and said,"I was going to the foreign language library, but I missed my stop.”His words were very calm. Seeing how she didn't look embarrassed, did she miss her stop? This girl was usually smart and intelligent. She was smart in school (the top scorer in the provincial middle school examination, the top scorer in every exam, and she was either full marks or close to full marks in all subjects), but she had a bad sense of direction and was careless in life? Cheng Xuan lowered his head and thought for a long time, trying to think of a way to respond so that she wouldn't be embarrassed.(This was the first time Cheng Xuan had such a close conversation with a beautiful girl, no, a goddess. He couldn't help but be nervous, afraid that he would say something wrong and make her disgusted and angry.) When Cheng Xuan raised his head to look at Shen Yue, he was stunned.
He saw Shen Yue's cold expression as she focused on her tongue and sweetened the large stick of candied haws. Her red and tender tongue was occasionally mischievous as she sweetened the candied haws in front of her mouth. Coupled with her handsome charm, Cheng Xuan was stunned. His entire body went numb, and his thirsty throat could not help but swallow his saliva. This was too seductive! It was fine if I peeked at you from afar, but there was a boy sitting next to you, and you acted as if nothing had happened? Wasn't this teasing a brother? Teasing!
"You like eating candied haws?" Cheng Xuan held it in for a long time before saying this.
Shen Yue did not think much of it and replied,"You must be very free today!" Ugh! Cheng Xuan nodded. "Then follow me to the library." Shen Yue said calmly. Her tone was as if she was giving an order.
Cheng Xuan nodded cheekily, so happy that he didn't know why. He happily ate the candied haws in big mouthfuls. When his mouth was stuck with sugar, he would take a sip of green tea.
"Do you like eating candied haws?" Shen Yue suddenly asked when she saw Cheng Xuan's ferocious appearance.
Cheng Xuan was stunned and choked. Why did these words sound so familiar? He was too excited and just wanted to finish eating and leave quickly. After being asked by this girl, she looked at the half skewer of candied haws. To be honest, it was not sweet but sweet and sour. "Not bad."”Ting liked it when he was young.
Shen Yue bit away the one that she had sweetened and handed over the remaining skewer.”To be honest, Cheng Xuan was stunned and looked at Shen Yue in a daze. "What?" Shen Yue asked with a strange expression. You still want my mouth? Dream on.”After saying that, she turned her pretty face and covered her cup with her hand, concentrating on drinking tea.
Ah! Cheng Xuan had never seen Shen Yue so shy. Instead, he was the first to blush. He took the candied haws and quickly lowered his head. He ate and drank them all, but his mind was on Shen Yue, but he did not dare to look at her. The two of them quietly buried their heads in eating and drinking, like the innocence of a tacit first love.
