"Don't you see, the galloping army is really terrible! Their mount has a boar-like head, a torso like a horse's body, and the two big nostrils in front of it have long, curved hooks, and with a shake of the head, you can throw the soldiers who meet the battle out, and the internal organs flow to the ground, miserable!" An old man sat under an old locust tree, the autumn afternoon sun was warm, and a group of villagers sat around him during a lunch break to listen to him tell about the thrilling days ahead.

"What's even more infuriating is that the city was broken at that time, and the county guard was still drunk to death in the beauty village, but of course he was beheaded by the enemy, what a sin!" the old man took a sip of wine and slammed his mouth.

In this nameless village hidden among the mountains and rivers, the villagers rarely set foot in the outside world, only this old man occasionally crossed the mountains and mountains to go to the town market to exchange some novelties and come back, bringing some new things as anecdotes to tell the villagers, but most of them were sensational news of the war, which frightened these villagers even more reluctant to go far.

"Uncle Li, you just said that you had already run for several miles when the city was broken, how do you know how the county guard died? ”

Li Yan, who was talking energetically under the tree, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and met the same puzzled expressions of the villagers, he scratched his head and recalled the following before explaining: "At that time, I was driving the carriage and I heard the city guards behind me shouting!"

Everyone sighed and began to scold the county guard for dereliction of duty, and he deserved to be beheaded......

At this time, the discordant voice on the tree said again: "Hey, the art of war is the most taboo to disturb the hearts of the army and the people, this defender is afraid that he is either a brain-dead or an enemy spy!"

Everyone's discussion stagnated, and the old man Li was a little annoyed and said: "Who am I talking about, it turns out that you are a stinky girl, you know a fart, why don't you go to herd sheep and hide in a tree!" He scolded a few words and seemed to be unwilling, and said: "So many people died tragically under the iron hooves of the Jialuo army, do you have any sympathy when you listen to your tone?"

"Uncle Li, didn't you slip away fast at that time!" The girl's voice was crisp and pleasant, and there was a little careless laziness.

"Hey, how can you talk about this girl!" Li Yan was poked by the girl and hurt his feet, so angry that he stood up and jumped under the tree and rolled up his sleeves: "Stinky girl, you come down for me, I have to teach you a good lesson for your master today!"

The villagers also stood up, grabbed Li Yan and said, "Okay, old Li Tou, what is it true to compare with a child, or continue to tell us what happened later?" They are not partial to the girl on the tree, just because the girl's master is the only doctor in the village, and his medical skills are superb, they don't want to offend.

Old man Li, who was pulled back by the attention of many listeners, regained some face, 'hummed' a few times towards the tree, and then sat back and continued to talk about what he saw and heard that day.

The girl leaning on the branch of the locust tree was dressed in a white linen skirt, listening to the discussion under the tree, and a pair of big amber eyes on her fair and beautiful face looked at the blue sky, thoughtful.

She is You Xue.

She had no intention of disturbing the harmonious storytelling scene below, but there were too many loopholes in this old man Li's words, and the more she listened, the more suspicious she became, and she had to test one or two words with a sharp edge.

At this moment, she could be sure that this old man Li seemed to be deliberate, and every time he went back and forth, he would bring back a lot of adjectives about how the outside world could scare these villagers with a hellish appearance, and his intentions were very well understood, making the villagers continue to deepen their fear of the outside world and prevent them from stepping into the small village.

Even though she had all kinds of doubts about this nameless village in her heart, it was not as shocking as the panic and confusion that her unexpected appearance brought to the villagers.

This is going to start after she escaped from Blackwater Village.

That night, when You Xue climbed ashore, she did not stop, but plunged headlong into the dense forest, and ran for a long time, through a large hollow valley, and climbed several hills, until she was at the edge of a bay stream, and before she could drink enough water, she plunged into the stream and fainted.

When she woke up, she found herself lying on a wooden bed, and an old lady with silver hair approached the bed, rolled her eyes, pinched her chin and motioned for her to open her mouth and stick out her tongue, and then flicked her wrist, and the whole movement was neat and smooth, and then said two words: "Alive." Then he turned and walked to the window, sat down on a small stool, and manipulated the grinding trough and tinkered with the herbs.

Although this old woman has silver hair and a face full of ravines, she looks energetic, her body is very tough, and she can't see her sluggish and old posture at all.

"Thank you for saving me, but what does it mean to just 'live'?"

The old woman who hung her head and fiddled with the herbs did not raise her head, "When I found you, your upper body fell into the stream and suffocated for a long time. ”

You Xue was cold, looking at her in disbelief, she was hungry and tired at that time, she did lose consciousness, if she was telling the truth, she would be grateful that God didn't let her brain become vegetative due to lack of oxygen!

I only heard the old woman pat the medicine residue on her hand and continued: "I don't believe in ghosts and gods, but when I met you, there was really no breathing, no pulse, no heartbeat. I had already called the villagers to help bury you in the back mountain, but you suddenly regained your breath. ”

The old woman slowly approached You Xue, but the pupils of the old face crisscrossing the ravines were very clear, "Girl, who are you?"

You Xue only felt creepy, and when she was asked her name at this moment, she was a little overwhelmed: "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I only remember that my name was You Xue, and I didn't know anything else. ”

This is the truth, she suddenly appeared in this other world, knowing nothing but her own name.

When the old woman heard this, her casual expression was slightly stunned, and after taking a few steps closer to examine her carefully, her expression was very subtle: "You Xue?" she lowered her eyes slightly, "Yes? ”

You Xue also had this intention, and said gratefully: "Thank you benefactor, how do you call you?"

The old woman looked at her with a complicated expression, and her eyes were full of incomprehensible emotions: "Huh...... Call me... Aunt Joan is fine. When she opened the door and was about to step out, she paused again and said to You Xue: "It's just a girl, if you want to live, from today on, forget this name, and in the future, you will be called 'Nanxing'." ”

You Xue: "......" Why did this person change her name?

This old man knew her, and he could see from the other party's eyes that it was the familiar twist after the reunion of the old people.

In this way, this old man knows the original owner of this body, and the other party asks her to change her name, is this body also called You Xue?

In this way, the woman who was going to strangle her at that time was not the last, and someone was going to kill her? Was it because he wanted to snatch Bai Yujue who disappeared in her palm? Or was it because of the identity of this shell?

But no matter how You Xue asked, the old lady always avoided the topic indifferently or simply ignored it.

After figuring out the old man's temper, she gradually relieved, no longer dwelling on these things, but calming down and facing her current situation, at least for now, it is still safe to hide in this quiet village.

In fact, her body recovered quickly, and she recovered quickly under Aunt Qiong's conditioning, full of vitality and able to run and jump.

And You Xue, who was renamed 'Nanxing', was embarrassed to eat and live in vain, so he contracted to cook and wash clothes, and would also dry and pound medicine for the old woman.

This Aunt Qiong seems to be a very cold person, and she is cold and indifferent to everyone, but she is very respected by the villagers, and what makes her strange is that when the villagers call Aunt Qiong, they all call her Dr. Xiao, so this Aunt Qiong was originally called Xiao Qiong? Shouldn't it be Aunt Xiao?

Although she is not proficient in traditional Chinese medicine, she graduated from medical school, and then continued to study biology, and is very familiar with insects and plants in nature.

In the eyes of the villagers, this girl seemed to be the old doctor's junior apprentice, and Aunt Qiong only smiled faintly at this phenomenon and did not say a word, but when she saw that most of the medicinal materials that You Xue had brought back were all kinds of flowers and fragrant trees, her eyes were a little complicated.

Yes, You Xue found that the mountains were full of treasures, if it weren't for her fear of getting lost, she really wanted to step on this rolling mountain range, and those sky-high prices of incense making raw materials in the present world can be found everywhere here.

When You Xue began to add a fresh and elegant fragrance powder to the ink in Aunt Qiong's study, Aunt Qiong was very satisfied, and rewarded her with two ancient books with yellowed covers for her to study.

Although she doesn't have all the equipment here, she has nothing to do now, she can do her own practice, if she wants to survive in this world, she has to have some skills.

One afternoon, a three-inch-thick ancient book was thrown in front of You Xue's desk.

You Xue was sketching a model of the distillation vessel with charcoal, and suddenly startled her like this: "Aunt Qiong, what are you doing?"

"After memorizing it in three days, I will take the test. Aunt Qiong said lightly.

You Xue protested: "Huh, I'm just helping, I don't want to study medicine." ”

She really didn't want to study medicine, not to mention that she hadn't been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine, complex pulse cases, thick classics can't be learned overnight, and life is too fragile, she doesn't want to face that, so after graduating from medical school, she chose the research and development of biological drugs.

You Xue had already thought that when the time was ripe, she would leave here, not just leave this hidden village, she wanted to find the answer, why she came to this other world, since she could cross over, then naturally there was a way to go back, even if the war was raging now, she had to go and see it after all.

"Miss Nanxing," Aunt Joan suddenly exclaimed.

You Xue was stunned, these days the people in the village call her that, she didn't react at first, but then she adapted, but she still occasionally delayed her thinking.

"Do you remember that I saved you?" asked Aunt Joan again.

You Xue held her forehead helplessly: "Yes, so I am willing to repay you for doing things for you, but this is ...... to study medicine."

"I don't need you to repay me, you are very talented and smart, I can see that you can still remember, so studying medicine only depends on whether you have a heart or not. ”

"You should know that I don't belong here, and I'm going to leave. You Xue said frankly.

Aunt Qiong suddenly smiled: "As you said, you didn't expect this encounter at the beginning, did you?"

You Xue was speechless and looked at the sky.

"Everyone has a mission to accomplish in the world, and instead of pursuing and thinking, it is better to go with the flow and live in the present, so as not to be lost. ”

Aunt Qiong said, her fingertips tapped on the ancient books, "If you want to make incense, shouldn't you also learn the medicinal properties of various herbs and trees?" She glanced meaningfully at You Xue, who was full of surprise, before Shi Shiran left.

You Xue came back to her senses and rolled her eyes behind her: "Then you should cherish the present, I saw Lao Li Tou next door climbing our wall every night!"
