Chapter 44: The most hurtful parting
"You rest in peace. Quan Shifang put away his sorrowful expression, "Tonight, I and several junior disciples will inspect Siping County, hoping to find clues about these bat demons." After saying that, he took his leave and left.
Hearing that she was in distress in the house, Huang Laocai was very upset. He was too embarrassed to enter the girl's boudoir, so he had to call the cook to boil her a blood-replenishing decoction. It happened that she slept through the dinner meal, and when she woke up, her stomach was full of hunger, and she was very happy to see that the maid brought up red dates and blood tonifying porridge.
This porridge is not difficult to say. Just wash the red beans, black rice, rice and peanuts, soak them in cold spring water for two quarters of an hour, and then put them in a pot with dried red dates and slowly boil. After the pot boils, it will slowly simmer for another three quarters of an hour. The porridge should be stirred gently with a spoon before it is almost cooked to avoid sticking to the bottom of the pot, and a little brown sugar should be sprinkled before it is removed.
All kinds of porridge in this porridge have the effect of nourishing blood and calming the nerves, and the chef knew that she was stabbed, so he specially opened a small stove for her. Although it doesn't take much skill to make this porridge, the taste, aroma, and soft glutinous beans and rice are just right. It seems that the sizzling lobster technique she performed live before also made the chef have some insight. There are not many materials in this porridge, but it is obvious that it has begun to pay attention to the taste of the material itself.
After a bowl of porridge, she felt relieved. There was a strange itching sensation in her shoulder, and she knew it was the discomfort of the wound's rapid healing. Chaoyun Sect's elixir really has a miraculous effect, just a few hours of effort, the wound will be healed, maybe tomorrow morning, not even a scar will be left.
She pushed back the people left and right, then took a deep breath and asked, "Changtian, why did you poison me?"
"The bat demon's toxins do nothing but make you sleepy. His voice was particularly low, and he seemed to be in a bad mood, "The wound on your shoulder will hurt more and more, so it's better to sleep peacefully." ”
She admits he has a point. Generally, after the operation, the doctor will also give some painkillers. And she was poisoned and unconscious, which can make this bitter meat plan more credible. However, she always felt that something was not quite right.
"Are you annoyed with me?" When she thought of Changtian being angry, she felt a little frightened in her heart, and her voice was also pitiful, "Is it because I'm lazy and don't want to learn alchemy tomorrow morning?"
"Nope. He let out a long sigh, the first time she had heard him sigh, "It's my fault." You can rest first. Then he was silent, no matter how much she called him, it was useless. A few maids were waiting outside the door, and she didn't dare to flash into the Gods and Demons Prison to question him face to face, so she could only hug the quilt sullenly.
Things didn't go well for her today, first she was greatly frightened by Ah Fu at noon, and then she did a lot of hard work at night, and lost a lot of blood, so she fell asleep again after lying down for a while.
Changtian listened to her breathing slowly slow and even, and knew that she was asleep.
Ning Xiaoxian didn't guess wrong, he was annoyed with her. He was annoyed that she was talking and laughing with Quan Shifang, and why she refused to leave Quan Shifang and leave Siping County, the resentment and depression that he had never experienced made him want to teach her a small lesson. Although the poison of the bat demon could make her not feel the pain on her shoulders in her sleep, he did too much to poison her.
His tens of thousands of years of life have been fought in battle, trickery, and bloodshed, all of which he can handle with ease. But only for emotion, he has always stayed away, and his heart is like iron. However, this little girl didn't know how to use it, opened a crack in his heart, and got in. Every day, he could only listen to her laughter and smell her body fragrance, and he could float a faint joy, and every success of her little tricks made him a little proud and spoiled.
He frowned and sighed again, only to feel that the trouble in his heart could not be removed and could not be cleared, and the more he reasoned, the more chaotic it became. The sound echoed through the empty hall, and it didn't go away for a long time.
It is indeed too difficult for a mythical beast to experience human emotions.
===============
Maybe she went to bed early the day before, and the next day she woke up at the dawn, and everyone in Chaoyun Sect had just returned to the village. From their expressions, Ning Xiaoxian knew that there was no gain from this night.
Quan Shifang came to say goodbye.
The woman in front of her had a ruddy face, and it seemed that her injuries from yesterday had recovered. But he was leaving, and her path was in the West, and he might not be able to protect her again.
They only got along for a few days, but Quan Shifang felt that it was very comfortable and natural to have this girl by his side. Now that the separation was imminent, he had a lot to say to her in his heart, but when he saw her dark and bright eyes, he couldn't say anything, as if they had met for the first time in the banyan forest.
"Quan Shifang, you're really useless!" In the end, he could only smile and sigh bitterly at himself, and then took out a small jade bottle from the storage ring and gently placed it in front of her. Just looking at this bottle, the material is not under the mutton fat jade brand she sold, especially the bottle has a touch of natural red, which is even more beautiful. In fact, in her opinion, such a delicate bottle really doesn't look like something that Quan Shifang would use.
"There are a few Qionglu pills in it, although the effect is not as exaggerated as that of the living and dead, but as long as the person still has a breath, it can be saved. You may be able to use it along the way. "I only hope that this elixir can save her life.
This is the real Immortal Elixir! Ning Xiaoxian's eyes widened, half surprised, half moved. With this thing, her chances of survival on the way west are much greater, no matter how injured she is, as long as she is not eaten by the monster "Ahhhh
It is precisely because this medicine is so precious that it shows how good Quan Shifang is to her. "Senior Brother Quan......"
He waved his hand and said with a wry smile: "Miss Ning." If you say goodbye here, you don't know when you meet again, so don't be polite. If you have a natural meeting, you will have the right to ...... Farewell. He glanced deeply at Ning Xiaoxian with warm and bright eyes, nodded slightly, and then turned away.
"Senior Brother Quan, there is one thing that may be too inappropriate for me to say. She couldn't help it anymore, "Senior brother, your personality is calm and dignified, humble and polite, which is of course very good, but I heard that cultivating immortals into the Holy Saint must be brave and diligent, and you are determined to move forward, especially if you enter the Tao with a sword and quench your heart with a sword, if you are still so gentle in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve success!" This was not something she could think of, but a comment made by Changtian on Quan Shifang. She felt that Xiaoquan was a really good person, and she didn't want him to suffer in this regard.
Quan Shifang stopped. He was so stunned that he couldn't help himself, because before going down the mountain, Shizun also mentioned that he "has more than enough to keep and not enough sharpness", Ning Xiaoxian's words were even more profound and accurate than Shizun's comments. "How is this possible!" Thinking of all kinds of doubts on her body, she only felt that this mortal girl's life experience was like a mystery, and she couldn't help but shake her heart again.
