The old man looked at the stumps and leaves all over the ground, and finally couldn't bear it anymore: "Stop!"

He pushed Xiao Qi away, opened the door, and looked at Xiao Nuan sharply: "I promise you, I'll try!"

Xiao Nuan's knife-wielding hand paused, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and silently apologized to the destroyed herbs.

The old man watched her frantic movements stop, and added, "But I'm just trying, and I don't promise that I will be able to save him." ”

Even so, it is the best choice at the moment.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and said that they had no objections.

The old man looked at the medicine garden distressedly: "But whether it can be done or not, you have to compensate me for these! You must compensate me! Also, you have to give me the best seeds, and you have to teach me to grow better Chinese medicinal materials." ”

Xiao Nuan happily agreed: "No problem, I will not only give you better, but also give you more, until you are satisfied." ”

She said and glanced at Bai Yu, and Bai Yu immediately picked up the sleeping Huo Liting and went straight to the old man's yard.

The old man looked at her little fox-like appearance of being afraid that he would regret it, and he was angry and helpless.

He glanced at Xiao Qi, Xiao Qi understood, blocked the chai door and said to Xiao Nuan: "In addition to planting Chinese medicinal materials and acupuncture, can you also cook the food of country Z?"

This old fox is not finished if he is not squeezed clean!

Xiao Nuan sneered, and nodded simply: "Of course." ”

"Very well! Then I have one more condition, if I can get away with him, then you have to stay here as a cow and a horse, and cook for me for the rest of my life until I die. ”

The old man stroked his beard and said arrogantly: "If you don't agree, all the previous conditions can be invalidated." ”

"How can that work?"

As soon as the old man's voice fell, Zhao Xiaotang was the first to object: "This is going to trap you for a lifetime, Xiao Nuan, you can't agree, this price is too heavy." ”

Hong Lie's fist hanging down at his side tightened, and he echoed: "Yes, Nuan Nuan." This Gu God speaks and does things, words and deeds repeatedly, or else, let's think of another way?"

Everyone felt that Xiao Nuan couldn't agree to this request, after all, she was only in her twenties, which was the best situation, if she spent half her life in this deep mountain and old forest, it would be over.

Bai Yu looked at Huo Liting in his arms, then at Xiao Nuan, moved his lips, and didn't say anything after all.

He wanted to beg her to save Sanshao, but he also knew that if Sanshao could live and lose Sanshao's grandmother, there would also be only a walking corpse left.

Xiao Nuan nodded gratefully to everyone: "Thank you, but I have already decided." ”

She turned her eyes to look at the Gu God, her gaze wet.

She raised her hand and solemnly swore: "I, Xiao Nuan, swear here today......"

She spoke at an even pace, and her words were sonorous.

Zhao Xiaotang held Li Lei's hand tightly and tightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Xiao Nuan, why are you so stupid? Is it really worth it for this scumbag?"

Li Lei didn't speak, because Xiao Nuan's current actions are already the best answer to prove everything.

Hong Lie looked at Xiao Nuan's resolute appearance, and his eyes were full of complicated emotions.

Only love to the extreme, will you be so righteous!

But what about him?

For more than five years, she didn't want it at all?

The old man looked at the woman's determined appearance, and the expression on his face softened: "Okay, bring him in!"

After the words fell, he turned around and walked into the house, and Xiao Qi immediately got out of the way.

Bai Yu hugged Huo Liting, and was so excited that he burst into tears: "Third Shao, did you hear that? The Gu God promised to save you! Third Young Grandma's for you, but even the rest of her life has been in it, you must get better, don't live up to her wishes!"

Everyone hurriedly helped, and followed the old man's steps to send Huo Liting into a quiet room with only one bamboo bed.

Lu Haoran looked around at the simple room, his heart was sour, and he said silently: "Ah Ting, the conditions are a little worse, but in order to save your life, you have to endure it first!"

The room, which was originally small, was particularly cramped and cramped because it was crowded into too many people.

The old man waved his hand in annoyance: "Go out, a half-dead person, what's there to see, don't delay my business." ”

As he spoke, he took out a knife and a white porcelain bottle from his waist and peeled off some dried blood scabs from Huo Liting's wound.

Being able to see the Gu God personally deal with NO.1 is something that many people can't dream of in their lives, although everyone obediently took a few steps back, they still stretched their necks and looked at it reluctantly.

After loading the blood scab, the old man looked at everyone in annoyance, and turned into a separate hut behind the wooden building with the bottle.

On the door of the house, the quaint brass lock has been corroded by green copper flowers because no one cares about it all year round.

The old man tried the key a few times but didn't open it, so he simply took the stone next to him and smashed the lock down.

Everyone looked at each other in shock, whose temper is this old man, or is he too anxious?

But no one dared to ask, so they could only follow more and more carefully.

The door opened, and a smell of stale that had not dissipated for many years came to my face.

But the room is very clean, everything is covered with straw mats, there is no trace of spider and mosquito erosion, it can be seen that before the closure of this place, the old man did excellent insect treatment.

Xiao Qi helped the old man tear open all the straw mats, revealing all kinds of bottles and cans and simple and strange instruments.

On the walls, there are corpse specimens of various Gu worms hanging everywhere, the number and scale are amazing.

In the team, the one who has the most research on Gu worms is none other than Xiaohe Lao.

He looked around, his eyes full of excitement: "Senior Gu God, this should be your laboratory, right?"

The old man didn't speak, let out a disdainful snort in his nose, and sat down in front of an operating table.

Xiao Qi politely opened his arms and blocked everyone out: "Everyone, my grandfather is going to start working, please wait outside the house!"

Everyone showed reluctance on their faces, not only worried about Huo Liting's body, but also full of curiosity about the Gu God's Gu technique.

Xiao Nuan frowned and helped Xiao Qi drive everyone out of the room: "If you delay for one more minute, Huo Liting will be in danger, if you have anything to say, wait for the results of the inspection to come out." ”

The crowd retreated.

Inevitably, someone couldn't help but disturb, and Xiao Nuan personally guarded the door.

Hong Lie looked at her nervous appearance, and his heart tightened for a while.

Will he be able to bring her back from here and be a real husband and wife with her, as the queen mother wants?

Time passes minute by minute.

When the sun was setting in the west, the door of the wooden house finally opened, and the old man walked out with a solemn face.

He stroked his beard and said loudly: "It is indeed NO.1." This Gu is very poisonous, and the old man has only seen it once in his life, that is, before I wash my hands in the golden basin. ”

Xiao Nuan's heart settled and hung again.

After listening to the translation, Lu Haoran immediately said with a dogleg: "Gu God, your Gu art is unparalleled in the world, and you love to study hard, you must have already figured out a solution during this retreat, right?"

Xiao He Lao also chimed in: "Since the cause has been confirmed, let's wait for the right medicine." We believe that if you have a Gu God senior, you will definitely be able to cure the disease and save the suffering. ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

Everyone followed and blew a wave of rainbow farts in unison.

"Fart!" the old man rolled his eyes in displeasure and interrupted: "Do you think I'm old and confused, and I don't know how many pounds and taels I have? ”

His gaze fell on Xiao Nuan, and he pointed casually: "You, hurry up and cook for me." Everyone else, get out of here!"

Xiao Nuan moved her lips, and just nodded calmly after all.

Lu Haoran bit his lip and leaned up unwillingly: "Don't! Gu God senior, you see that Ah Ting's current Gu poison is so deep, we are all people with a little common sense of medicine and poison, you let us stay and help!"

Seeing this, Xiaohe Lao also hurriedly said: "Yes, senior, you let us stay and help." We will go to the camp to camp on our own, and make sure that we don't mess with you, and you can just call us if you have something. ”

"Yes, yes, we promise to be on call and never mess with you. ”

Wo Gang and others also echoed the gossip.

"Enough. The old man was so noisy that he casually pointed at Lu Haoran and Xiaohe Lao: "Then you two stay and do chores, and everyone else gets out!" Xiaoqi, you send them out of the peach blossom forest, and don't allow them to come in again." ”

"Yes. Xiao Qi nodded and made a gesture of invitation to the others: "Everyone, please come with me." ”

Everyone saw that the Gu God had a tough attitude, and although they were reluctant, they didn't dare to refute it.

"Mr. Lu, I'll leave it to you for the third young man. Bai Yu was the first to compromise, and he looked at Lu Haoran pitifully: "I can't help if I stay here, so I won't make trouble for you." ”

Lu Haoran nodded: "Don't worry! He is my best brother, I won't let him have anything to do." ”

Hong Lie pulled Xiao Nuan aside and said in a deep voice: "Nuan Nuan, you talk to the Gu God, let me stay and help you!"

Let her stay alone with Huo Liting, he is really not at ease.

Xiao Nuan shook his head and said softly: "Ah Lie, don't worry! I will take care of myself, I can handle this little scene." ”

After the words fell, she didn't give Hong Lie a chance to speak again, so she said to Wo Gang and the others who were still entangled: "The conditions here are limited, and it is inconvenient to eat and live." Since the seniors have already chosen someone to stay and help, please leave for the time being! ”

Seeing that Xiao Nuan also said this, everyone couldn't say anything, so they could only pack up their things and leave with Xiao Qi.

The old man looked at the remaining three people in the courtyard, and instantly felt that the air was much better.

He stroked his beard and paced back and forth: "Don't think that if I leave you behind, everything will be fine." Listen to me, all the things here, without my permission, you are absolutely not allowed to mess around, and you are not allowed to make any decisions behind my back, understand?"

"Understood. The three nodded in unison.

The old man was relieved and nodded with satisfaction: "You, go cook for me." Come in with me, both of you. ”

Xiao Nuan glanced at Lu Haoran, turned around and went to the kitchen in the front yard.

Lu Haoran looked at her obedient back, and his heart was mixed.

It seems that Ah Ting's infatuation with her over the years is not wrong, right?

......

Xiao Qi sent Hong Lie and the others outside the Peach Blossom Forest, and Hong Lie said that he would not leave any more.

"I'll set up camp here and wait for Nuan Nuan, you guys go first!"

Wo Gang and Jia Xi and other Qingbai people saw that he didn't leave, so they naturally didn't dare to go down the mountain rashly.

Xiao Qi frowned and explained: "Your Highness, everyone, don't worry, my grandfather is cold and hot-hearted, and he won't do anything to them." But there are many poisonous snakes and beasts in the mountains, and it will be very dangerous for you to sleep here. ”

Li Lei doesn't know medical skills, but he also knows that there are many people, and so many people can't do anything except add chaos to staying here.

He also opened his mouth to comfort: "Just now I saw from the 3D imaging on the computer that there are many villages at the foot of this Qingbai Mountain, and we can go to spend the night after we go down the mountain, which is much safer than living in this barren mountain range." If they really have something to do, we can come up at any time, isn't it just a few thousand steps? If you're too worried about having your helicopter on standby nearby, it's not a matter of minutes?"

Hong Lie shook his head firmly: "No, I'll wait here." When they come out, I will come down the mountain. ”

If he couldn't be by Xiao Nuan's side, he could only make sure that he could be by her side as soon as she needed it.

"Why are you so stubborn?"

Li Lei rubbed the plate on his head irritably: "If you don't go, then we can go by ourselves." ”

When they said goodbye to Xiao Nuan just now, Xiao Nuan specially explained not to stay on the mountain overnight, the deep mountains at night were too dangerous.

Hong Lie didn't care, but said to the rest of the team: "You all go down the mountain with them and find a nearby village to settle down." If necessary, I will notify the helicopter to pick you up. ”

Did he mean that he wanted to stay alone in the mountains?

Wo Gang reacted and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, this is not good. If you insist on staying, I'll be with you. ”

"Yes, Your Highness, I will accompany you too. ”

"I'll be with you too. ”

......

"Jassie stays, you all go. Hong Lie pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Leave the water and food, I will contact you if I have something." That's an order. ”

When the people saw him say this, they could no longer refute it, but could only go down the mountain and settle down according to his words.

......

In the idyllic courtyard, Xiao Nuan had already served a pot of medicinal chicken soup with his hands and feet.

The herbs are all finished or semi-finished from the old man's yard, and the chickens are pheasants freshly hunted from the mountains.

Ash flutter couldn't see the original face of the clay pot opened, and the aroma of chicken soup immediately wafted out, seducing everyone's taste buds.

As soon as Xiao Qi entered the door, he smelled the aroma of chicken soup and immediately went into the kitchen to taste it.

"Well, it's delicious. ”

She squinted comfortably and said sincerely, "Sister Xiao, your cooking skills are really good! This is the best chicken soup I have ever tasted." ”

"Yes? Xiao Nuan stirred the pot and said worriedly: "I just don't know if your grandfather will like it?"

"Hehe, let's take it to him and taste it, don't you know?" Xiao Qi took the spoon in her hand and took out half a bowl from the jar.

She held it in one hand and pulled Xiao Nuan in the other hand and went straight to the laboratory in the backyard.

"Grandpa, Sister Xiao has boiled chicken soup, you can taste it. ”

As soon as they walked into the backyard, they saw the old man standing in the yard with his hands behind his back, stretching his neck to sniff something.

Hearing Xiao Qi's voice, the old man immediately straightened up solemnly: "What kind of soup is so amazing, do you have to let me taste it now?"

Xiao Qi pursed his lips and snickered, and handed the bowl up obediently: "You taste it, don't you know if you taste it?"

The old man looked at her, and then at the bright chicken soup in the bowl, and the joy in his eyes flashed.

It turns out that the good smell I just smelled is this thing!

He quietly took the bowl and took a sip, seemingly reluctantly.

The milky white soup is fresh and sweet in the mouth, and the faint medicinal flavor makes people feel fragrant.

The old man sighed in his heart with satisfaction, but he reluctantly smacked his lips: "Generally, that's all!"

He said this, but he raised his hand and drank the soup in the bowl.

He pursed his lips and returned the bowl to Xiao Qi: "Okay, I'm going to get busy." This kind of little taste, don't come and bother me in the future. ”

With that, he walked into the laboratory with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Nuan glanced at the laboratory, and couldn't help but sweat for Huo Liting.

Xiao Qi turned around and saw that her face was not good, thinking that she was worried that the food was not to her grandfather's taste, so she quickly explained: "Sister Xiao, don't worry! Don't look at grandpa coldly, in fact, he likes it in his heart! Otherwise, he wouldn't have drunk it in one gulp just now." ”

Xiao Nuan retracted her gaze and smiled gently: "Thank you Xiaoqi, you are such a good girl." If anyone marries you in the future, he must be the happiest person in the world. ”

A handsome figure flashed in front of him, and Xiao Qi's cheeks flushed suddenly: "Sister Xiao, you laugh at me, I won't tell you." ”

She shyly lowered her head, took the bowl and ran away.

......

Quiet room.

Xiao Nuan stood in front of the bamboo bed, using a warm wet towel to clean the wounds and filth on Huo Liting's body.

Lu Haoran leaned in front of the window and looked at her, his cynical face was calm and profound as he had never been: "Xiao Nuan? Should I call you Miss Xiao or your sister-in-law? How many faces do you have? If I remember correctly, when I met you five or six years ago, you were still a clown monster with a face full of acne marks and a not very bright brain, right?"

Xiao Nuan wrung out the towel in his hand, and didn't even raise his eyebrows: "I am in front of people, naturally there is only one face, but among those who are not people, you will find that I have many faces." ”

"En?" Lu Haoran felt that these words were a bit tongue-twisting, as if he was offended.

But after thinking about it carefully, I couldn't find fault with it, so I had to wave my hand casually: "Okay, okay, okay! Pretending to be stupid and ugly, for the sake of you being so good to Ah Ting now, I will reluctantly forgive you." ”

Sure enough, it's not only chattering, but also narcissistic!

Xiao Nuan raised her eyebrows, too lazy to answer again.

Lu Haoran suddenly felt a deep disgust, but he was not good at anything else, but he had the best mentality.

He licked his face and leaned over and continued: "You may not know how much Ah Ting has suffered and suffered for you over the years! I have played with him since I was a child, and I have never seen him care about anyone as much as you do, including his parents and elders. ”

Xiao Nuan didn't answer, Lu Haoran didn't mind, and said to himself: "He has lived in pain and self-blame every day all these years, but he has always kept you in his heart." It may not be love between you at first, but later, and now, you should have seen it. Ah Ting is infatuated with you!"

If he can't even understand his heart, how can outsiders know?

Xiao Nuan didn't speak, but the movements of wiping his cheeks became softer and gentler.

Lu Haoran wanted to say something, but the phone rang suddenly, breaking the silence in the room.

From their mountain, the cell phone signal has been intermittent.

Lu Haoran took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a long text message.

He clicked on it, frowning more and more tightly the more he looked.

He looked at Huo Liting, who was unconscious on the bed and had a bloodless face, and finally could only sigh and say to Xiao Nuan: "Something happened to the Huo family." ”

Xiao Nuan's hand paused, and finally looked up at him.

Lu Haoran immediately felt great encouragement, and said with Pantuo: "Before, Ah Ting found out that someone secretly bought the shares of Huo's Group in the market, and also bought a large number of shares from several shareholders. But before he could find out, he came to Qingbai Country. Now that the news of his accident has spread somehow, Huo's stock price has fallen by more than a dozen points. ”

Xiao Nuan's eyes lit up, but it only dimmed for a moment: "These things have nothing to do with me, I don't want to interfere and I have no right to interfere." ”

Lu Haoran was speechless, and unconsciously accentuated his tone: "What I just told you is all in vain? You are the legal wife on his marriage certificate! What does it mean that it doesn't matter?"

"So what? I'm his wife, it's that he's still alive. ”

Xiao Nuan's hand holding the towel tightened, and a few drops of water fell into the basin, rippling layer upon layer: "Now, nothing is more important than his life." Why don't you go back first and watch for him and grandma?"

It's a good thing that she values Ah Ting, but the Huo family also needs a capable person on their side!

Lu Haoran sighed and said with a wistful expression: "If even you feel that you have nothing to do with the Huo family, then I have nothing to do with them." There is news that the old lady temporarily asked the second child of the Huo family to come out to preside over the overall situation. ”

"He?" Thinking of Huo Liyi's hanging appearance, Xiao Nuan frowned in disgust: "What can he do?"

"At this time, whether you can use it or not is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that someone can go up. It's better to have someone who is in charge of the overall situation than a group of dragons without a leader!"

Xiao Nuan put the towel into the basin and was about to speak, when he saw Huo Liting lying on the bed, he suddenly opened his eyes.

He sat up on one side, his eyes scarlet and his eyes hollow, and as he swept the unfamiliar surroundings around him, a low growl of fidget immediately came out of his throat.

Xiao Nuan hurriedly patted the back of his hand to reassure: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm here......"

Her tone was as soft as if she were coaxing a child.

At this time in the past, Huo Liting would inevitably turn his head to look at her, and then gradually calm down.

But this time, he didn't hesitate to shake off her hand.

He glared at her menacingly, with a cannibalistic glint in his eyes.

The blood light that had been shriveled down by blood loss slowly swelled up again, showing a terrifying blue and purple color.

Xiao Nuan's pupils shrank unconsciously, and the smile on his face became more and more gentle: "Ah Ting, take a good look at me, I'm Xiao Nuan, don't you even know me?"

Huo Liting looked at her, his head turned mechanically, and the scarlet at the bottom of his eyes became thicker and thicker......
