The first time I saw him, he was not yet the Lord of Evil Doctor Valley.
I was so sick I almost died, lying in a simple clinic waiting for my parents to come home with money, but no matter how long I waited, all I got was the doctor's disdainful order to have someone throw me out of the door.
"If you don't have money, then you can only wait for death. Your parents don't want you either, and this place isn't a charity, so you can't blame me."
Even if I had the money, my illness is still incurable. My parents almost spent all of our family's savings on me and took me to many places, I know this and don't blame them for it.
When I was curled up on the street corner, I thought I was going to die, but life often brings you the most intense surprises when you are at your most desperate.
When he came before me, I even thought I had seen a heavenly god.
I have never seen anyone as good-looking as him, although I haven't met many people, and he is actually just a boy a few years older than me. But I always stubbornly thought that in this world there wouldn't be anyone better looking than him, and as the years went by, I saw more and more people, but I still thought so.
He asked me if I was willing to give him my life.
I didn't understand what he meant, but I nodded and said I was willing.
Then he came to my rescue, gave me a good name, called "Liu Mo", and took me to the Evil Doctor Valley. I once heard his fellow apprentices say that he was just an abandoned baby, I don't know if it's because of this that he saved me.
But what's important is not the reason why, but that I can stay by his side.
He later killed Xian Gu Zhu and became the master of Evil Medicine Valley.
Many people were dissatisfied and thought it was just luck. Those who came to try their swords never stopped, but no one had ever left alive.
I sneer at them. If they had seen him practicing swordsmanship, if they had seen him testing poison on himself, they would understand that there has never been a lucky escape in this world.
I knew his body had been poor, and he would go to Cangfeng Building for seclusion every now and then. I knew that was actually a treatment, and I also knew that he had been using poison to suppress the injuries in his body all along. He didn't deliberately avoid me, but he never told me anything either.
I'm worried, but deep down I also have a bittersweet sweetness that is a secret only I know, a secret between him and me.
In the eyes of the world, he has always been a legend.
They only remembered the "Dragon Bird Soaring in the Sky" that broke through the void, stirring up a shocking and brilliant scene. They only remembered his peerless elegance as he gazed down at the world from the top of Mount Mei. No one knew that supporting this legend was a body worn out by illness and injury.
Perhaps it was because of this that he had always been a cold and quiet person. I once thought that would be the case for the rest of his life, but I was wrong.
He saved her, initially just for the sake of fulfilling Lord Gu's last wish, which I am aware of.
Later, he taught her medicine, taught her to play the zither, took her on a tour of the world's famous rivers and streams, and even created a special needle for her. I told myself that this was also just because of Master Qian's will.
Later on, I couldn't deceive myself anymore. He would quietly look at her when she wasn't paying attention, with such a gentle gaze, as if afraid of hurting her, carefully hiding the cold intent within, and it was not as gentle as Su Xiuyan's.
But once she realized it, his eyes returned to coldness, and her eyes hid attachment.
Since she woke up, perhaps because of being with him all the time, her personality has become more and more indifferent. After being polite to everyone, there is always a sense of distance, as well as an unconscious guard that even she herself can't detect, except when it comes to him.
She has feelings for him, even if it's not quite love, that attachment, I can see it too, I don't believe he doesn't know.
But later, it was he who personally escorted her out of the valley and left.
That time when they went out, they met people from the Murong family. She had no memory of it, and even if she did, it wouldn't be about the Murong family.
If it weren't for the faint shadow, they might not have recognized each other at all.
She looked at the crowd bowing to her, saying that her parents had been looking for her all along, with a dazed expression, she passed through the crowd and went to find him, after finding him, she never moved again.
But he didn't look at her, his eyes were extremely dim.
She said she had something to go back and collect, I knew that in her heart she was secretly hoping to stay in the Evil Doctor Valley. I don't know if she ever spoke to him after returning to the valley, I also thought maybe he wouldn't let her leave, but in the end, it was he who personally sent her out of the valley.
He went to the Wind Chime Building more and more frequently, staying inside for longer periods of time. I think I vaguely understand why he sent her away, even though this guess isn't the result I wanted.
So I'd rather believe he let her go just because it was that one call of "Qianer" that woke her up.
I actually saw her once, at the top of Meishan Mountain when he and Nan Chengyao were competing in swordsmanship. At that time, she was still a princess of the previous dynasty, wrapped in a large fox fur coat, only revealing a pair of eyes. Those beautiful black and white eyes could only hold one person's shadow, and it wasn't him.
After she left, he moved the profound and mysterious Qimen Dunjia technique from the front of the valley to the inside. At the entrance, he replaced it with the simplest formation. He was unwilling to let others disturb him, but still gave them the opportunity to enter the valley.
It's just because he wants to know her news.
Since she left, whenever someone came to the valley to ask for medical treatment, his diagnosis fee was always just news of Miss Murong's second daughter, and later became the queen of the three kings of the Southern Dynasty.
Those who come to find him and are able to find him will not be ordinary people, and the diseases they suffer from must also be those that even the best doctors in the world cannot cure.
Although his medical skills are extremely high, he doesn't have to use "drawing eyebrows like frost" every time, but there will be times when it's necessary.
That time, he just wanted to enter Cangfeng Building for closed-door training, but someone came with her news to ask for medical treatment.
I could see at a glance that the man's illness was not "drawing eyebrows like frost" and couldn't be cured, I strongly stopped him, but it was no use, and could only watch as he took away the jade box containing the golden needles.
Always standing guard outside the door, not daring to take half a step away, until he finally came out, my heart hurt so much that I couldn't even breathe.
His lips were pale and white, his forehead was beaded with cold sweat.
I subconsciously stepped forward and wanted to reach out to help him, but he just waved his hand indifferently and avoided me.
Her slender fingers accidentally touched mine, cold enough to freeze one's heart.
I couldn't bear the intense pain in my heart, and tears fell: "Young master, why do you still want to take medicine? Your body can't handle it!"
His eyes lost their usual clarity and coldness, but showed a few hints of faint melancholy and gentleness, though clearly in pain, he hid it so deeply, then smiled.
His smile is exceptionally good-looking, like the first thaw of ice and snow, moistening the new plum blossoms.
He is such a cold and quiet man, I have been following him for more than ten years, but I have seen him smile only a few times, and each of these rare moments has something to do with her.
Later she left, and his smile also followed her. Now that they meet again, her beauty is even more dazzling, only because a touch of bright color has been added - blood-stained light lips.
My hands and feet are icy cold, he doesn't want me to hold him, refuses anyone to get close, so I can only watch him with that stunning yet fleeting faint smile, opening his mouth, eyes quietly gazing at some unknown place outside the snowy day.
His voice was soft and painful, he said, I want to know her news.
My whole body was shocked, and I didn't even dare to move. I know that when people are in extreme pain, their consciousness can become confused, but his eyes were so clear. However, when he was sober, he would never say such things.
I could only watch as he walked out step by step, his green robe and crimson sleeves a stark contrast to the snowflakes gently falling around him, until finally, he slowly fell to the ground, silent as the falling snow.
That time, he received news about her grand wedding with the third prince of Southern Dynasty.
