05 The wounded
Since that deep conversation, Aunt Qiong has rarely communicated deeply with her anymore, and whether she likes to read medical books or not depends on her wishes, and does not force her.
However, by chance, You Xue found out that Aunt Qiong was a top master of martial arts, and it was no problem to fly the eaves and walk the wall, and her three views on her instantly upgraded to a higher level, in order to learn martial arts from her, she began to work hard to gnaw on medical books and be a good student who was well-behaved and obedient.
It wasn't until Aunt Qiong recognized her learning attitude very much that You Xue shamelessly studied martial arts, but she didn't expect Aunt Qiong to seem to be waiting for her to open her mouth to study, and immediately carried her all over the mountains to fight wild fruits, climbing trees and climbing the top of the mountain to improve physical strength, Zama step was the most painful, a few months later, when she was shocked to find that her thin forearm actually grew a strong muscle line, she was speechless for a moment, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad?
After that, Aunt Qiong began to teach her to practice the internal breathing exercises, and after a little success, it was the light skill of flying the eaves and flying in the air!
However, the surprise full of anticipation turned into horror, and Aunt Qiong actually carried her directly up the cliff for her to jump, and of course she protested and flinched, but was thrown out by the woman like a rag doll.
Fortunately, this old woman still has some conscience, and she does not pick too high a dangerous wall, and people can always subconsciously stimulate their potential when they are in a desperate situation, and this martial arts master is still a cold-blooded and ruthless guy with a blank face.
After stumbling and falling out of countless bruises, as well as two fractures, the light work finally achieved a little bit.
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a lot of books began to be stacked on the bookcase of her hut one after another, covering a wide range of richness, which made her suspect that the identity of this old man was not simple, not just a doctor, maybe he was born into a big family, in order to avoid disaster and seclusion in this deserted and inaccessible place.
Fortunately, as a traverser, although he did not inherit the memory of this body, his life experience became a mystery and a mess, but his own unforgettable ability can still generate residual heat, even if he has no interest in the difficult ancient books in his eyes, he can leave an impression and write it out effortlessly.
But she still couldn't figure out what Aunt Joan was doing with her like this, and she always felt unspeakably weird, but her optimistic personality and easy-going attitude quickly left these negative emotions behind.
You Xue's days in the nameless village are like overcoming the busyness and pain comparable to the top student in the college entrance examination.
Spring comes and goes, and two years pass by in a flash.
The weather in early spring was warm and cold, You Xue wrapped in a thick cotton jacket and pushed open the wooden door, walked to the yard to stretch her waist, the mountain breeze blowing in her face was still cold, so cold that she shivered, and the sleepiness dissipated a little.
As far as the eye can see, the mountains are rolling in the distance, the clouds are shrouded in mist, and the lush jungle stretches endlessly, enveloping this secluded village.
In the past two years, in addition to going up the mountain to collect medicine, or accompanying Aunt Qiong to see the villagers, most of the time, You Xue was locked in this small courtyard by Aunt Qiong, because this village does not accept outsiders, and saving her was a taboo at the beginning, she doesn't know what method Aunt Qiong used to persuade the villagers to let her stay, and she doesn't know why Aunt Qiong is willing to take her in, is it just because of the miracle of her resurrection? But in any case, she is very grateful, and she is really lucky to be able to settle down here and settle her panicked and chaotic thoughts for her, a stranger who doesn't know where to go.
Thinking of this, she shook her head, I heard that the offensive of the Garo Kingdom outside did not retreat but advanced, and it had already captured five cities in three continents, and now it was under the city of Paile, as long as this city was captured, it would be just around the corner to defeat the king.
These are the news that the old man Li brought back half a month ago, this old man Li is called Li Yan, and he is the only seller in the village who is willing to run out, taking the villagers' mountain goods out to exchange for some things that the villagers need, and occasionally bringing some fresh things to the children in the village and Aunt Qiong, in You Xue's eyes, he is very interesting to Aunt Qiong, many times at night, she can hear Old Man Li squirming up the wall, and then You Xue can see Aunt Qiong walking to the wall, and the two muttered not knowing what they were talking about.
Thinking of this, she tilted her head to look at Aunt Qiong's room, hesitated for a moment, and turned around and walked into the kitchen to cook.
When the smell of rice lingered throughout the kitchen, there was no movement next door, and You Xue couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Aunt Qiong is a very self-disciplined old man, she gets up before dawn to go up the mountain to collect medicine, even if You Xue takes over the matter of collecting medicine later, she will not get up late.
Moreover, just half a month ago, You Xue found that Aunt Qiong began to tinker with medicinal materials and develop pills in her room, and she wanted to help, but she was stopped by Aunt Qiong at the door, and she was busy eating almost one meal a day.
But today, the sun is shining at the gate, and Aunt Qiong's room is so quiet? Could it be that she went out early in the morning?
She put the prepared breakfast on the stove and went out of the kitchen to knock on the door: "Aunt Qiong, it's time for breakfast!"
There was no response in the room, she shouted a few more times, but there was still no response, she couldn't help but panic, guessing if this old lady was sick or something, and was about to push the door in, but heard a familiar voice behind her: "I'm here, didn't I say, don't enter my room without permission!"
You Xue turned around in surprise and found that the old lady was carrying a gray cloth burden and her silver hair was stained with mountain dew on her sideburns: "Aunt Qiong, did you go to the mountains early in the morning?"
She happily stepped forward to take the gray cloth burden, but Aunt Qiong dodged sideways, only to see that she looked a little uncomfortable, and her tone was also alienated: "What are you looking for me?"
You Xue was stunned, after getting along for such a long time, You Xue felt that Aunt Qiong was an elder who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, but with a strange temper, and the two got along like relatives, what happened today?
"That...... I've made breakfast, can I eat?" You Xue sneered.
Aunt Qiong also realized that her tone was a little impulsive, but she had something on her mind at the moment, and she was in no mood to care about what You Xue thought, so she just said: "Don't eat, I'm going to go out in a while, I'll leave for a few days, your medical skills have been a little successful, I'll leave it to you first." ”
You Xue didn't understand the meaning of her words at this time, but only listened to the first half of the sentence: "What? Where are you going to go to an old man? Take me with you, so you can take care of it." ”
Aunt Qiong waved her hand, pushed open the door and entered, and then closed the door to isolate You Xue.
You Xue was a little anxious outside the door, she knew that this Aunt Qiong was not simple, but she heard that there was still a war outside, in the final analysis, she cared about Aunt Qiong as her elder. At this time, she suddenly thought of the old man Li next door, and hurriedly picked up a small stone at her feet, ran to the low wall, and was about to smash his door, knocking on the door with a stone is the daily greeting method of You Xue and Old Man Li.
But at this moment, she suddenly withdrew her hand again, and now she has a request for others, so she has to be polite.
She walked out of the courtyard and came to the gate of Old Man Li's courtyard, pushed it a few times and found that the courtyard door that had never been locked was actually locked today, and it was locked from the inside, so it seems that Old Man Li should be in the house.
"Mr. Li...... Daddy Li," You Xue shouted outside the door, "Is Daddy Li there?"
However, no one came out after knocking on the door a few times, but Uncle Niu next door came out and said, "Miss Nanxing, don't knock, Master Li went up the mountain to hunt yesterday and hasn't come back yet." ”
You Xue was stunned when she heard this, "Gone for a day and a night?
Uncle Niu laughed and said: "You little girl has a very poisonous mouth, don't look at Master Li's age, he was a dart head when he was young! ”
You Xue really knew that Uncle Li, who would be able to talk about the mountains and love to steal food, actually had a glorious time in his prime.
Bidding farewell to Uncle Niu, You Xue was about to go back to the yard, but she heard someone behind her calling: "Hey, Nanxing Girl, Nanxing Girl!"
You Xue turned around and saw a strange Cao Gui in the village stumbling over, her big belly trembling, quite happy.
said that it was 'wonderful', just because this Cao Gui was the only one in the village who didn't like to work, not to mention farming, even if he usually burned the fire to cook and chop firewood, he wouldn't do it, his wife died of overwork, just last year, died on the ridge, even if Aunt Qiong rescued in time, but it is still a lack of skills, the word sudden death, even if it is placed in modern times, is irreparable.
So in the past few years, she has concentrated on the development of Xianglu Xiang Pill, and she has not paid much attention to inheriting the mantle of Aunt Qiong, she knows that she is very fragile in some way, and she doesn't want to face the fact that she is powerless to rescue her when she sees her life passing.
After the death of Cao Gui's wife, he called his eight-year-old son Cao Huan, and he could often see the little baby passing by the door with a big bamboo basket on his back.
So You Xue was very surprised, on weekdays, he would only see this Cao Gui walking leisurely in the village with his hands behind his back, where had he ever seen such a gaffe?
"Uncle Cao, what's wrong?" You Xue asked curiously.
Cao Gui stepped forward and pulled You Xue out: "Hurry up, hurry up, my son fell from the tree, as if he broke his bones!"
You Xue broke off his fat claws and hurriedly said, "Uncle Cao, I don't have enough experience in this matter, you wait, I'll call me Master." She turned around and went into the courtyard to pat Aunt Qiong's door, but at this moment the door was just hidden, and it opened as soon as she patted it, and in addition to the scattered books and herbal dregs, there was still the shadow of Aunt Qiong in the room.
You Xue frowned, thinking of Aunt Qiong's strange behavior these days, and felt slightly bad.
And Cao Gui also followed in, "Nanxing girl, if your master is not here, you can go with me, if it weren't for the fact that I don't know herbs, I can also splint him myself!"
You Xue was speechless, this is the problem of the last splint, if you don't handle it well, you will become lame, uncle!
It's just that at this time, she didn't have anyone to discuss, so she could only stubbornly order Cao Gui to prepare a stretcher, and she carried the medicine box on her back, asked for the approximate location, and went over first.
