Let's say that Fu Chunjiang and Gan Shiping returned to the village with a team of medical disciples first, and seeing that Renliang and Qingfeng did not return together, Cui Yan, who had been waiting for news, hurriedly ran to inquire about the situation.

Fu Chunjiang said: "Cui Yan, Brother Renliang asked me to bring you news, he stayed in a hidden space with Qingfeng, Xiang Chen, and Qianqian, I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while." ”

Cui Yan scolded secretly: "This Renliang is really unreliable, when he left, he said that he would come back soon, this time it is estimated that when they saw Qingfeng, they took my words as deaf ears." ”

Seeing that Cui Yan's face was wrong, Fu Chunjiang said: "Cui Yan, don't worry, Renliang is very good, he will come back when they eliminate the ghouls in the plague land, don't worry." ”

Cui Yan said: "Elder Fu, didn't you say that Renliang and they were clearing out ghouls in the plague land, how can you say that they are staying in a hidden space, I don't understand what I heard. ”

Fu Chunjiang said: "That's the case, originally we were in the plague land to clear out ghouls, and the operation went very smoothly, we won several battles and exterminated many ghouls. However, there are too many ghouls in the Plague Lands, and it will be a lot of effort to clean them up with the manpower we have, so after discussing it, we decided to return to Guiye City to ask Elder Jiang Chao to borrow troops and horses before continuing the operation.

On our way back, we found many mysterious footprints, out of curiosity we followed the footprints to find a hidden space, which was full of barren mountains and deserts, because the medical gate had something important to ask me to go back recently, so I took my disciples to return first, and Qingfeng, Qianqian, Renliang and Xiang Chen stayed. ”

Cui Yan suddenly realized: "So that's the case, they can really toss, I understand, then I'll go home first." He turned and walked away.

The next day, Fu Chunjiang had to return in advance because of the medical door, Gan Shiping and several disciples stayed to continue to guard the village, and Cui Yan also stayed in the village because he remembered the news of Renliang, Qingfeng and others. Since the plague pollution in the village has been completely eliminated, the task of the medical disciples has been changed to prescribing medicine for the nearby villagers.

On this day, there was news from a neighboring village that several villagers had gone into the mountains to cut firewood and were attacked by fierce beasts, and Gan Shiping hurriedly brought a few disciples to the clinic for treatment. Cui Yan and another female disciple named Nie Qing went into the mountains to collect medicine, and the two walked among the mountains with medicine baskets on their backs.

Cui Yan said as she walked: "Senior Sister Nie, Elder Fu hurriedly returned to the medical gate, do you know what is going on?"

Nie Qing said: "I don't know exactly what happened, I only vaguely heard the senior brothers talking a few words together that day, it seems that the head of the family has a particularly urgent matter for the elders to go back to discuss." ”

Cui Yan said: "I see, I don't know what is happening?"

Nie Qing said: "We don't have to worry about anything as a disciple, the head and the elders will handle it, let's finish our work, I see that there are many herbs in the bushes on the mountain over there, let's hurry over and collect the medicine." Saying that, he walked over quickly, and Cui Yan hurriedly followed.

The two of them bent their waists to look for herbs in the mountains, and sure enough, there were many perilla leaves and fine spices and other herbs growing in this bush, Nie Qing said: "Cui Yan, do you see it, there are really a lot of herbs here, let's hurry up and work." ”

Cui Yan said: "I have also found a lot of medicinal herbs here. As he spoke, the two of them began to busily pick herbs.

Time passed quietly bit by bit, and in a blink of an eye, it was already the middle of the day, and Nie Qing and Cui Yan, who had been busy for a long time, were both covered with sweat, but their hard work also paid off, and Nie Qing looked at the herbs that had more than half of the herbs in his medicine, and his face showed a smile of joy. She said to Cui Yan in the distance: "Don't pick Cui Yan, let's take a break, eat something first and then continue to work." ”

Cui Yan stopped and walked slowly towards her and said, "Okay, take a break, I've been busy all morning, and my waist is a little sore." ”

The two sat together and ate the dry food they brought, Nie Qing looked at the herbs in Cuiyan's medicine basket while eating, and said, "Cuiyan, you are really good, you have only been a few days when you have started, and you have recognized all the herbs so well, I see that you have five or six kinds of herbs in this medicine basket." ”

Cui Yan said: "Senior sister has won the award, I studied medicine with a doctor for a few years when I was in my hometown, and I am confident that I can't make any mistakes in recognizing herbal medicine." ”

Nie Qing said: "So that's the case, when I first entered the medical department, it took me a whole year to recognize all kinds of herbs. ”

The two rested for a while, and suddenly Nie Qing got up and said: "It's not good, I almost forgot an important thing, the old problem of Granny Xie's waist and leg pain in the village has been committed again, and today is the day I promised to go to her for a follow-up." Cui Yan, let's stop picking medicine, let's go back to the village quickly. ”

Cui Yan said: "Senior sister, you have to go back to the village in advance, it's just noon and it's still early, and I've only picked half of the herbs in this basket, so I won't go back to the village with you, I'll stay and pick some more medicines." ”

Nie Qing picked up the medicine basket and said: "Then you can do it, I have to go back to the village quickly, if Granny Xie can't see me, she should be anxious with me, and you should be careful when you collect medicine yourself." He hurried down the hill in the direction of the village.

Cui Yan continued to collect medicine alone in the mountains, and walked and walked unconsciously to a quiet valley with pleasant scenery of birds and flowers. Cui Yan wandered among them, only looking at the flowers and plants here, and then looking at the flowers and plants there, and he didn't even care about picking medicine.

Suddenly, there was a thunderstorm in the air, and then the raindrops the size of beans poured down, and Cui Yan secretly shouted: "Damn, how can it rain." She ran away, but there was no shelter from the rain in the valley, and she was drenched in soup after only a short run.

The pouring rain continued to fall from the sky, Cui Yan ran in the muddy mountains and ran his suffering, ran with all his strength for a while, and suddenly appeared in front of him a few strange trees with huge leaves, Cui Yan didn't have time to think about it and quickly hid under the leaves of the tree, the huge leaves layer upon layer formed a natural shelter from the rain, Cui Yan hid below and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The heavy rain was still falling, perhaps because the running just now had consumed too much of Cui Yan's physical strength, she only felt weak and her limbs were cold, and then a wave of drowsiness hit, and she fell asleep with her back against the big tree.

It turns out that these strange-shaped trees are tree demons who have been cultivated for thousands of years, and they usually have ethereal whereabouts, and the divine dragon sees the head but does not see the tail, wandering between the world and landing to a certain place with a mood. Just now, these few dryads were wandering in the nearby mountains, and when they saw Cui Yan running alone in the heavy rain, and there was nothing to shelter from the rain, they couldn't help but feel compassion, and then turned into several big trees and appeared in front of Cui Yan.

At this time, seeing that Cui Yan was sleeping soundly, a tree demon opened his mouth and said: "Look, this girl is really beautiful, with long eyelashes and big eyes, curved willow eyebrows and a cherry-like mouth, coupled with a pretty face that is white and red, it looks really flattering." ”

Another tree demon said: "Don't patronize and look at her pretty face, you see that her body is so thin, just now it was raining heavily, and now she is wet and asleep, and she must be sick when she wakes up." ”

Before the tree demon said: "What you said is very true, this girl is not only outstanding in appearance but also kind-hearted, we can't let her get sick and suffer, I just formed a golden pill a few days ago, so I simply gave it to this girl." As he spoke, he secretly urged the true qi in his body, and then spit out a golden elixir with a fresh floral scent from his mouth, and the dryad put the elixir into Cui Yan's mouth, but Cui Yan did not notice it in his sleep.

Another tree demon said: "Sister is really a bodhisattva, this golden pill will take my sister decades of hard work to form, and it is really touching that my sister is so generous to give it away." ”

The tree demon who was called my sister said: "My sister has won the award, if my sister knows that it is far less than the Bodhisattva, one less gold pill is not much harm to you and me, but it is of great benefit to this girl, and my sister is very happy to see this girl, so I am willing to give it to Jin Dan." ”

As he was talking, a heavy rain gradually stopped, the sky cleared again, and the green trees and red flowers in the mountains after the rain became more delicate, and a tree demon said: "Okay, the rain has stopped, shouldn't we also go?"

The dryads turned back into human form and said, "Let's go, don't miss the trip." As he spoke, he flew away.

However, it was said that Wu Renliang and Xiang Chen returned to the village non-stop after leaving the plague land, and finally arrived at the entrance of the village after several days of rapid travel. Wu Renliang said with a happy face: "Xiang Chen, will Cuiyan be very happy when he sees the two of us falling from the sky?"

Xiang Chen said with a smile: "I don't know this, I don't know Cui Yan's temper very well, maybe she got angry when she saw you go for so long and came back." ”

Wu Renliang said: "Crow's mouth, can't you hope that I will be okay, Cui Yan will definitely be happy to see me, she never expected me to come back at this time, this is a surprise." Ignoring Xiang Chen, he ran towards the village as if he were flying.

Xiang Chen followed behind and walked slowly: "What's the hurry, you're still afraid that people will run away when you get to the entrance of the village?"

Wu Renliang ran home in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted, "Cui Yan, I'm back." But after calling a few times, there was no response in the house, and he secretly said in his heart: "Mo Fei Cuiyan is not at home." ”

After entering the house and looking for it, he didn't even see a figure, Wu Renliang was slightly disappointed: "I'm really not at home, and I don't know where to go." As he spoke, he walked out of the house and wanted to ask the disciple of the medical sect.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, Xiang Chen walked over and said, "Why did you just get home and have to leave, could it be that you were driven out by Cui Yan?"

Wu Renliang said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no one in the house, Cui Yan doesn't know where to go, I'll go to the disciples of the medical sect to ask about the situation." ”

Xiang Chen said: "Then you go, I'll go into the house and drink saliva, you call me if there's anything." ”

Wu Renliang said: "Okay, you go into the house." Saying that, he left quickly, he quickly found Gan Shiping to understand the situation, Gan Shiping had just returned from the neighboring village with his disciples and did not know, and after asking, Nie Qing, who had gone into the mountains with Cui Yan to collect medicine before, gave the answer.

Wu Renliang hurriedly called Xiang Chen into the mountain to look for Cui Yan, Xiang Chen said a little impatiently: "Ren Liang, what kind of urgency are you, Cui Yan is not a big deal to go into the mountain to collect medicine, she will naturally come back when it gets dark, let's just wait at home, why bother to find her, will she be so big and lose it?"

Wu Renliang said: "You don't understand, Cui Yan is weak and not used to working, and collecting medicine in the mountains is a hard job, and I really don't feel at ease with her alone." “

Xiang Chen had no choice but to follow Wu Renliang towards the mountain. The two of them were speeding in the mountains, Wu Renliang saw that the water was flowing all over the mountain, and from time to time there were mud and sand accompanied by mountain torrents rushing down from the high mountains on the side, he looked nervous and said: "Not good, I am afraid that it was raining heavily in the mountains just now, if there is a flash flood, Cui Yan is only afraid that there will be danger." As he spoke, he shouted Cui Yan's name.

Xiang Chen followed behind him and said: "I said that you don't have to be suspicious and worry, even if it rains a little, it won't cause a flash flood, Cui Yan will definitely be fine, don't shout." ”

Wu Renliang was still relieved and continued to shout loudly, but Xiang Chen had no choice but to let him go. The two walked quickly for a while, and suddenly Xiang Chen stopped and said, "Don't shout, where is Cui Yan?"

Wu Renliang said happily: "Where is it, you can show it to me." ”

Xiang Chen raised his hand and pointed to Cui Yan, who was walking slowly towards them with a medicine basket on his back in the distance, and said, "Where are you, are you blind?"

Wu Renliang saw that it was really Cui Yan who appeared, and his heart suddenly blossomed, and he rushed forward and said: "Cui Yan, are you okay, why did you run into the mountains alone, and I was worried about death." ”

Cui Yan didn't expect Wu Renliang to suddenly appear, she was surprised and delighted: "Why are you back, a few days ago, Elder Fu said that you and Qingfeng are still going to stay in the plague land for a while?"

Wu Renliang said with a smile: "The plan has changed temporarily, Xiang Chen and I have come back first, and we are going to Guiye City in a few days to borrow a team of soldiers and horses from Elder Jiang." ”

Cui Yan said: "I see, it seems that the ghouls in the plague land are not easy to clean. ”

Wu Renliang said: "It's not, even peerless martial arts like Qingfeng and Qianqian feel powerless, and the difficulties can be imagined, let's not talk about these things first, let's go back to the village." With that, the three of them walked slowly towards the village.
