Chapter 1 The first female of Gu Chinese medicine grows up
Valley of the Divine Doctor.
A thousand-year-old tree full of vitality stands in the center of the Divine Medicine Valley, its thick branches stretching everywhere, and the dense green leaves are not to be outdone.
Beneath the lush foliage of the ancient tree, a delicate-looking little girl was fiddling with poisonous herbs that ordinary doctors would not even dare to touch.
The little girl's attentive appearance is especially fascinating to her, a pair of big watery eyes are inlaid on her ingenious face, and the snow-white skin exudes a faint fragrance of osmanthus. The exquisite beauty of the stunning city, if it is out of the Valley of the Divine Doctor, there is no doubt that it will be a disaster that will lead to the struggle of various countries.
She has a beautiful and refined name, Ji Liuli.
Ji Liuli, thirteen years old this year, has lived with her grandmother since she was a child, because of the hardships of life, Ji Liuli's mind is much more mature than her peers, and she has learned how to take care of her grandmother with gray temples since she was five years old, and it has been seven years since she was born, and she is still taking care of her grandmother meticulously.
Ji Liuli has a special birthday every year, that is, the day when her grandmother picked up Ji Liuli from outside the Divine Doctor Valley, the seventh day of April in the fifty-seventh year of Yuanfeng.
Regarding Ji Liuli's true birthday, I am afraid that only Ji Liuli's biological father and mother will know.
Thirteen years ago
Grandma Liuli, who was nearly sixty years old at the time, was on the way back to the Divine Medicine Valley when she went out of the valley to buy firewood, rice, oil and salt for daily needs, when she heard the sound of a baby crying not far away.
Ji Qingqing, who was already old, put down the burden on his shoulders, staggered to the source of the baby's cry, and cleared the dense weeds around him.
Ji Qingqing picked up the weeds and found that there was nothing else protected between the weeds except the crying baby.
The weeds that are covered up very tightly are enough to prove that the baby is definitely not an abandoned baby, and it is the parents of the baby who encounter life and death when they encounter life and death, so they will hide the baby here in a hurry.
Kneeling on the ground, Ji Qingqing supported his elderly body with the strength of the ground and picked up the little baby on the ground.
Lifting the swaddling corner that covered the baby's entire face, I wanted to check if the baby was okay, but found a ruddy jade pendant hanging from her chest.
The carving of the jade pendant is not an exaggeration to describe it with a ghostly axe, and the lifelike phoenix pattern on the blood-red jade pendant is like depicting the ancient legend of the phoenix's rebirth from the fire.
On the phoenix-shaped jade pendant, the phoenix's chest is filled with a small piece of real gold, which happens to be a heart-shaped.
At this moment, Ji Qingqing no longer had the surprise he had when he first saw Yu Pei, but instead had a breathtaking look.
In the middle of this heart-shaped gold, there is a small red dot that can almost be ignored, like the size of a sesame seed, and the ignorant person will definitely think that this is a flaw in this jade pendant.
But Ji Qingqing is definitely not included in the ranks of the ignorant, because Ji Qingqing has a pair of eyes that are different from ordinary people, and can see anything much smaller than an ant.
At a glance, Ji Qingqing saw clearly the words engraved on the heart-shaped real gold, opened his mouth slightly, and Ji Qingqing read out the content of the words. Ryu...... Glass ......"
Moving his gaze to the little baby in his arms, Ji Qingqing continued his previous actions and lifted the swaddling clothes on the baby's face, but when Ji Qingqing saw the baby's appearance, Ji Qingqing's strange eyes seemed to have seen the baby's destined extraordinary future.
Without thinking about anything more, Ji Qingqing took the jade pendant off the neck of the little baby, put it in his arms, stood up with the little baby in his arms, walked a few steps, bent down to lift the burden that had been put aside before, and slowly walked to the home where he had lived alone for decades, the Divine Medicine Valley.
Ji Qingqing is a withdrawn person, who has never dealt with outsiders and has no family. Encountering a baby is nothing more than a coincidence, since God is destined to let Ji Qingqing meet a baby, Ji Qingqing naturally decided to comply with the will of heaven and bring the baby back to the Valley of Divine Medicine, as the only inheritor of his medical skills.
Time flies, the passage of time makes Ji Qingqing's body weaker and weaker day by day, and Ji Qingqing, who has been bedridden for more than three months, walked out of the house with his weak body.
Relying on the support of the cane, Ji Qingqing trembled and walked to Ji Liuli's side and stopped. "Li'er. ”
Ji Liuli saw that Ji Qingqing, who had been in bed for a long time, ignored his physical weakness and went to bed, so he hurriedly put down the medicinal materials in his hand, stood up and helped Ji Qingqing, who was panting, his words were full of worry and unbearable. "Grandma, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Qingqing was already old at this time, and the aging of his body made Ji Qingqing very tired, just before a stick of incense, Ji Qingqing already had a premonition, and he had a premonition that he would not live for an hour, so he carried his weak body to say goodbye to this little girl who he was most reluctant to. "I'm not going to live for an hour, so I'm here to say goodbye to you. ”
Although there was no lack of bitterness in Ji Qingqing's words, in order not to make Ji Liuli too sad, Ji Qingqing chose to face the impending death with a smile.
"Grandma, why do you keep saying such unlucky things. Ji Liuli pursed her lips and said coquettishly, dissatisfied with Ji Qingqing's obscure words.
Ji Liuli knew that Ji Qingqing's physical condition was getting worse day by day, and she had been mentally prepared a long time ago, but when she was really parting with life and death, she still felt as if her sky was about to fall.
Ji Qingqing gently cracked the corners of her mouth and stared at Ji Liuli with eyes full of pity. "If I don't say goodbye to you, grandma will never have a chance to talk to you again. ”
"Grandma, can you let Li'er help you back to the house first?" Ji Liuli moved softly and wanted to send Ji Qingqing back to the couch, although the warm climate in the Divine Medicine Valley has been maintained in early summer and has never changed the season, there is still a trace of coolness under the shade of this thousand-year-old tree.
"No, I want to see this Divine Medicine Valley again. Ji Qingqing shook her head and politely declined Ji Liuli's kindness, she didn't want to lie on the soft couch and look at the beams of the roof in the little time she had left.
Ji Liuli did not continue to dissuade Ji Qingqing, and helped her sit down on the bamboo chair next to the ancient tree.
Looking at the hidden valley not far away, Ji Qingqing's thoughts seemed to return to the spring twelve years ago. "Li'er, do you remember when grandma told you how you came here?"
Ji Liuli wiped her tears, sat on the small bench next to the bamboo chair, and tightly grasped the armrest of the bamboo chair where Ji Qingqing was sitting. "Remember, grandma picked up Li'er outside the Valley of the Divine Doctor. ”
"Grandma won't survive tonight. Ji Qingqing retracted his eyes, looked at Ji Liuli in front of him, and stretched out his old hand to caress Ji Liuli's cheek. "Go out of the valley. ”
The tears that had already filled his eyes slipped down the corners of his eyes, Ji Liuli's voice choked, and he raised his hand to cover the back of Ji Qingqing's rough hand that caressed his face. "No, grandma, you have a long time to live. ”
