Chapter 228: First Release "Kite."
Too generous? Or too straightforward?
Wen Yu couldn't think of a good description for a moment, and she felt that there was nothing wrong with Yu Chang.
"That's all." Yu Chang placed the dustpan on the top shelf of the medicine rack. As he changed hands, he turned his gaze to Wen Yu. "I don't care."
Within the Three Realms and the Six Paths, the only thing he cared about was this one thing right before his eyes—
Yu Chang's eyes passed over Wen Yu, and he didn't want to say more.
"Okay, okay." Wen Yu held up the dustpan in one hand and patted Yu Chang's shoulder with the other to comfort him. "If you don't care, then don't care. I didn't say anything."
Perhaps Yu Chang's reaction is the most real and common.
Wen Yu's hands kept moving, but her chest was beating fast, and her originally active mind slowed down unconsciously.
They are monsters, and monsters and humans are inherently different.
Yu Chang doesn't care about worldly affairs, which is what a demon should do most.
Enter the world, but do not interfere in worldly affairs. Just abide by the precepts and be a sober bystander.
Instead, she...
Wen Yu's eyelashes drooped, covering the flickering colors in her eyes.
She didn't know when it started, but she seemed to be trapped in it and couldn't extricate herself.
Is this really right? Is this really possible?
At first, she could still control herself and watch from the sidelines, never overstepping the boundaries, always keeping her master's teachings and Chi Huang's instructions in mind. But now, can she still do it?
It was still early in the day, and there were no patients in the clinic. Only wisps of golden light and gusts of autumn wind kept the two of them company.
Yu Chang moved quickly, and in just a few moments he had dried the remaining herbs one by one, until only the last basket was left, which Wen Yu held in her arms.
Seeing her stunned and speechless with her head down, Yu Chang's eyes, which had been as calm as water, finally showed a ripple.
He turned around and took the winnowing basket from Wen Yu's hand. After trying it out in his mind for a while, he spoke to her in a tone that he thought was relatively gentle.
"You know I always speak like this. I don't mean to be cold to you."
Yu Chang paused, then continued to explain, "I will pay more attention in the future."
He only knew that the mortal named Song Linsheng often used this tone when speaking to Wen Yu.
Wen Yu seemed to like it very much.
Although... although his learning was a bit poor, he hoped that it would be of some use.
But he was feeling uneasy, but Wen Yu didn't seem to understand.
Upon hearing this, Wen Yu raised her head and faced Yu Chang, but her eyes were full of confusion.
Did he think that he was angry because of what he just said, "It has nothing to do with me"?
Wen Yu blinked, feeling a little surprised.
Firstly, Yu Chang has always been very frugal with words and very silent, so it is rare to see him say so many words in one breath.
Secondly, she had always vaguely sensed something, and had also received confirmation from Yu Chang—
Yu Chang was born with the ability to see into people's hearts.
Even if he didn't do it on purpose, he could always see what others were thinking without even having to spend any effort.
But the current situation is...
Since Yu Chang came to ask her and guessed wrong, it meant that he did not sense her privately.
Wen Yu's eyes turned and she scanned Yu Chang's face again. She really felt a little uncomfortable.
Hasn't he always been a maverick, speaking and doing things according to his heart? Why did he change his temper today?
But it was better this way. She was already uneasy because of what she had just said to Song Linsheng, so it would be better if Yu Chang didn't see it.
Otherwise, where would she put her face?
"Ahem!" Wen Yu nodded seriously and could only continue with Yu Chang's words, "You, it's good that you know it. I won't bother with you."
After saying this, she felt a little guilty, so she quickly turned her face away and avoided looking at Yu Chang, refusing to meet his gaze. She just looked past him at the shimmering and golden surface of the Yuan River behind her.
The Yuan River flows, the mountains are green, and the long embankment appears sandy white, like the upper edge of a picture frame, separating the rippling blue waves from the golden rice ears.
The beauty fades and the leaves fall.
Now that autumn has arrived and there are no willow trees, there is no shortage of light, feather-like reed catkins, which float along the river bank, urging the running children forward.
Wen Yu followed them, not knowing what they were chasing.
"Kite."
Yu Chang's tone was not as cold as usual, and the two simple words he said had a slightly euphemistic meaning.
"What?" Wen Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned to look at Yu Chang, "You said..."
"Kite." Yu Chang was very patient and just repeated it in a low voice.
Then, as if afraid that Wen Yu still couldn't hear clearly, Yu Chang raised his sleeve and pointed towards the distance.
That night, on Girls' Day, at the Lantern Festival, Xiyan had told him about these things. Some of them looked like swallows, and some mimicked orioles. Ordinary people generally called them kites.
Wen Yu looked in the direction Yu Chang pointed, but still only saw a group of children laughing and talking as if they were chasing forward.
"Where is that—" Wen Yu was confused and couldn't help muttering.
Yu Chang withdrew his hand and his shoulders sank. He seemed helpless, but remained calm.
Yu Chang shook his head until he realized that Wen Yu really didn't see it and was not joking with him.
Then he reached around Wen Yu's back, pinched her shoulders on both sides, and made her look up.
Wen Yu was still a little confused, until the black and white swallow kite glided steadily into her eyes on the wind, and she exclaimed in surprise -
“There really is a kite!”
She immediately understood that the kite was hanging far away in the sky behind the group of children, thanks to the kite string.
Although there is some distance, it is not so far that it cannot be seen.
Wen Yu smiled and shook her head, she was too shortsighted and too rigid.
The sky is high and the clouds are light, birds are flying south, and it is a good time to fly kites in the rustling autumn wind.
Yu Chang withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes to look at Wen Yu who was smiling happily in his arms.
She looked so frail and thin, but she once possessed immeasurable strength...
Yu Chang's fingertips tightened slightly, even though there were still many mysteries that had not been solved, like the green mountains hidden in the clouds, making it difficult to see their true appearance.
But no matter what, he must get back Wen Yu's own magic power, at least not let her be as weak as she is now, at least she can protect herself when she fights him.
Yu Chang frowned, and his dark eyes swept across the top of Wen Yu's head.
Maybe... there are still memories?
He couldn't be sure, but he would be sure one day.
No matter what method is used.
"hiss!"
Wen Yu shrugged, as if in pain, then retracted her gaze and looked at Yu Chang, but did not blame him.
"I..." Yu Chang suddenly let go of his hand, only supporting Wen Yu, "You..."
Yu Chang... She always felt that since Yu Chang came ashore in the past few months, his temper seemed... to have become a lot milder.
"I'm fine." Wen Yu smiled and shook her head, "But there seem to be more friends here today than usual."
Yu Chang lowered his eyes and looked away, and in a flash he was still looking indifferent.
"The rice fields are golden and the grains are ripe. Recently, many people have been harvesting rice, and naturally, more children are playing along the banks of the Yuan River."
Wen Yu tilted her head and listened carefully to Yu Chang's explanation word by word.
Although his expression was cold, he was very enthusiastic when he spoke, and he spoke a lot and in detail.
Wen Yu couldn't help but smile. It seemed that it was not her illusion just now. Yu Chang had indeed become a little different.
"However, there are relatively few patients seeing patients today." Wen Yu looked around the medical room, somewhat surprised. "There's not even a single patient here?"
After saying this, Wen Yu leaned forward and lifted the straw curtain on the door. Looking at the empty clinic, she said to Yu Chang again, "Even Madam Wen hasn't come yet?"
Yu Chang was not surprised at all, and didn't even raise his eyelids.
He had said before that other people's affairs had nothing to do with him, and since it had nothing to do with him, he naturally didn't care.
It can be seen that Wen Yu walked around the room several times, muttering something to himself, and Yu Chang finally spoke back.
"When I left home this morning, I heard... Madam sent someone to reply."
The situation at that time seemed to be still before his eyes, Yu Chang recounted in a low voice.
"It is said that Master Wen has encountered some problems recently, and Madam Wen is worried about him and has lost her appetite. Therefore, she is ill and cannot come to the doctor's house to help."
Wen Yu understood immediately after hearing this, but immediately asked, "Is Madam Wen seriously ill? How about I come over and take her pulse?"
"She must have expected you to say that." Yu Chang raised his eyes, a faint smile between his brows, but it was so subtle that it was almost unnoticeable. "The visitor said frankly that it was a heart disease, and asked you not to worry about it, and there was no need to bother you with this trip. He said that treating the people and prescribing medicine was more important."
So...
The worry and anxiety in Wen Yu's eyes turned into calmness, and he had a pretty good guess about the specific situation.
"I'm afraid this isn't just Madam Wen's concern, it's also Master Wen's."
Since Madam Wen had said this, she didn't need to worry too much. Wen Yu walked out of the inner room, lifted her robe, and sat down on the corridor with her arms folded.
Looking at Yu Chang who was still standing straight in front of the medicine shelf, although his expression did not fluctuate much, Wen Yu could still sense a hint of confusion, so Wen Yu shrugged and smiled.
"What else could Master Wen have planned these days?"
Wen Yu raised her eyebrows, feeling quite confident that everything was within her control.
"I heard that he had just taken up his post at the government office, so he took some leave and left the city to chase Mr. Zhou, refusing to look back."
By the way, Mr. Zhou and Shen Sheng have been taking Song Yuan, Song Zhu, Yan Zi and others out for some time, and they haven't returned yet.
Could it be that he was delayed because of Master Wen?
As she speculated in her heart, she casually said, "I think Madam Wen is naturally worried about this matter."
"It's possible." Yu Chang responded calmly, but he was still very frugal with his words.
Wen Yu glanced at him and was not surprised, but when she was about to turn away, she heard Yu Chang's voice with a hint of doubt.
"In the past, he was so obsessed with pursuing fame and fortune that he completely abandoned love. Now, wanting to relive his past, he has taken leave and put his official duties behind him."
Wen Yu quickly understood what he meant. He was talking about the eldest son Wen Yanli.
"You only care about the beginning and not the end." Yu Chang's tone deepened a bit, but it wasn't displeasure, but rather a hint of doubt. "How foolish."
"Hmm..." Wen Yu pondered, savoring Yu Chang's words word by word, "You have a point, but..."
Wen Yu recalled her master's teachings at the Spring Temple and felt that Yu Chang wasn't entirely right. "But whether mortal or spirit, no one is born perfect and flawless."
Wen Yu said this, looking directly at Yu Chang with her almond-shaped eyes, "It's time to give Master Wen a chance to start over."
Yu Chang was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect Wen Yu to say that, but then his gaze passed over the layers of herbal shelves and looked straight at Wen Yu.
So when she did that in the past, was she also giving him a chance to start over?
