Chapter 71: Trekking through mountains and rivers just to save you
It was drizzling in the early morning, and Feng Ruonan, who had changed into a hospital gown, waited for Xiao Xiong's arrival early, and the two met in the parking lot.
Xiao Xiong still looked solemn, he knew that this trip was related to whether Feng Ruonan's condition could turn around, and he had never had such a heavy heart, and got into the Maserati in silence.
"You don't feel uncomfortable, right?" Xiao Xiong asked as he started the car engine and turned his head to look at Feng Ruonan.
Feng Ruonan's emotions in her heart were infinitely complicated, she could detect the heaviness and worry on Xiao Xiong's face, and she no longer had the cynical and serious posture of the past.
"No, let's go. β
Caused by her introverted personality since childhood, Feng Ruonan rarely had contact with the opposite sex outside her family, even after she took charge of the Feng family's industry, she still didn't learn how to deal with men, so what she left to the outside world was the cold image of an iceberg beauty president.
Since that accident, Xiao Xiong, who was in danger in the hospital, really seemed to be a different person, which touched Feng Ruonan the most.
The car drove smoothly all the way, and when it entered the ring highway, Xiao Xiong sped up a little, with a serious expression on his face, and he didn't have any communication with Feng Ruonan along the way.
Countless fragments of memories appeared in Feng Ruonan's mind, and under hesitation, he subconsciously whispered, "Thank you." β
You must know that these three simple words came out of Feng Ruonan's mouth, which was even more difficult than ascending to the sky. Even if the father is boundless, he has hardly heard his daughter say "thank you" to anyone.
Xiao Xiong was stunned for a moment, the fingers of his right hand holding the gear lever trembled slightly, and he was surprised in his heart: Did this Nizi take the wrong medicine today?
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xiong tried his best to maintain a relaxed tone, and said slowly: "It is said that a husband and wife for a hundred days, although we have not been able to be husband and wife, but at least I used to be your fiancΓ©, and I should do it to help you." β
More than a hundred kilometers away, more than an hour passed, Xiao Xiong looked straight ahead, and the village appeared more and more clearly, with smoke rising from the cooking stove and rows of low houses, thinking that this should be the place.
"The front should be the Hebang Village that Old Man Zhou said. β
Turning the steering wheel as she spoke, the Maserati quickly drove into the village, a dirt lane narrow enough for a car to pass through, with the occasional villager passing by.
It's rare to see cars in the village, let alone luxury cars like Maserati. A few young people recognized the Maserati, which was only seen on the Internet, and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Look, is this a Maserati? It's so handsome!"
"Tsk, yes! It's a Maserati, it's really beautiful!"
Xiao Xiong in the car was silently controlling the vehicle, while Feng Ruonan was eyes slightly closed, there were too many chaotic thoughts in her mind, she thought of death, thought of rebirth, and some strange thoughts that she couldn't identify.
A large tree with a leafy trunk of more than one meter cut off the muddy path horizontally, Xiao Xiong parked the car on the side of the road, got out of the car and walked to the big tree, and greeted an old man with a dry pipe in his mouth: "Hello, uncle." β
The old man beckoned to Xiao Xiong, with a simple smile, Xiao Xiong then asked, "Uncle, is Xionghun Mountain here?"
"Yes, yes, you're going up the mountain?"
A flash of excitement flashed in Xiao Xiong's eyes, and Zhou Wuyi didn't lie to himself.
"Yes, I'm going up the mountain to find herbs, can you tell me where to go up the mountain from?" Xiao Xiong asked in a polite tone.
The old man who stood up slowly turned around and pointed in the southwest direction, "Over there, from this road, you will reach the foot of the mountain for five miles." β
"Well, thank you. β
After thanking him and preparing to leave, Xiao Xiong thought about it, took out his wallet and handed the old man two hundred-yuan bills.
Walking back to the car, Xiao Xiong opened the car door, stared at Feng Ruonan and said: "You wait for me in the car, it has just rained, the mountain road is very slippery, you wait for me to find Hanxing Grass, I will be back soon." β
"No, I'm going with you. Feng Ruonan didn't say a word, threw the matte black Chanel bag on the saddle, pushed the door and got out of the car.
Looking at the towering mountain in the distance with helpless eyes, Xiao Xiong said with an indifferent expression: "Okay, go this way." β
As the old man said, the two of them left the village and walked about five miles, and sure enough, they reached the foot of the mountain.
"This mountain is probably Xionghun Mountain. β
Feng Ruonan glanced at it with puzzled eyes, "What does the cold star grass you mean looks like?"
"The blue-green leaves, seven or eight centimeters tall, like weeds, are hard to distinguish. Xiao Xiong's answer made Feng Ruonan speechless.
Knowing that she couldn't help herself by following Xiao Xiong here, she still came.
"Let's go. β
The two of them went up the mountain one after the other, and after walking for a few minutes, Feng Ruonan turned back with a surprised look and asked, "What are you doing behind me?"
"I'm worried that your feet will slip, didn't I give you a cushion?" Xiao Xiong said in an innocent tone.
The heart-warming words made Feng Ruonan's eyes show a moment of tenderness, and he said with a cold expression: "No, you go ahead, otherwise how can you find it?"
Exploring all the way, after nearly two hours of mountain road, Xiao Xiong's expression became more and more nervous and urgent, and he had not yet found any trace of Cold Star Grass.
"Will that old doctor lie to you?" Feng Ruonan panted, leaning on a pine tree, his expression full of frustration.
Xiao Xiong looked at Feng Ruonan coldly, "What do I have to deceive him?"
"Let's look for it then. The hope in his heart was almost completely polished, Feng Ruonan said with a weak expression.
The mountain road became more and more dangerous, and before they knew it, it was past noon, and the two of them walked into the depths of the majestic mountain, the humid air, the dense bushes that exceeded the height of people, and suddenly a squirrel sprang out, which frightened Feng Ruonan's face pale.
The winding muddy path narrowed and narrowed until it reached the end of the trail, and as far as the eye could see, it was surrounded by bushes, and it was impossible to make out the direction.
"We're halfway up the mountain. β
Xiao Xiong took a few steps outside, stretched out his hand to brush aside the bushes, and looked down, only a vague outline could be seen in Hebang Village when he came.
"If you can't find it, forget it. Feng Ruonan's eyes flashed with painful emotion, and his tone could not hide his despair.
"Try again. β
Without thinking about giving up, Xiao Xiong walked to the side with a resolute expression, and used the branches in his hand to explore everywhere under his feet. Still didn't find the Cold Star Grass, Xiao Xiong was very anxious: It stands to reason that the number of places where the Cold Star Grass will grow will not be too rare, but now that he has walked most of the mountains, he hasn't found a little Cold Star Grass, is it possible?
Twenty meters away, there is a dangerous and unspeakable path, which clings to the middle of the mountain, facing the right is the bottomless abyss, and the left is the bare mountain.
"Cold Star Grass!"
Several plants growing on the cliff are particularly eye-catching, Xiao Xiong shouted excitedly.
Feng Ruonan looked in the direction of Xiao Xiong's gaze, indeed, there was a small piece of low plant attached to the cliff, the color seemed to glow, and the blue-green looked very dazzling in the sunlight.
"That's the Cold Star Grass?!"
"Well, don't move here, I'll go get it!"
The excitement was fleeting, and Feng Ruonan had realized the seriousness of the problem.
The location where those Cold Star Grass grew was simply unreachable, and it was three or four meters high from the only path, which was impossible for an ordinary person to reach.
"Don't go there! it's too dangerous!"
Feng Ruonan's worries lingered in his ears, Xiao Xiong hurriedly ran over, and carefully stepped on the path, only allowing a thin person to pass by, and it was impossible to turn around, as long as there was a slight mistake under his feet, if he fell, he would definitely be crushed.
"Be careful!"
With a nervous and frightened expression on his face, Feng Ruonan shouted, only to see Xiao Xiong step by step, grasping the bare mountain with both hands, and moving over step by step.
The distance was only a few dozen meters, but it took Xiao Xiong more than ten minutes to get close to the mountain near the cold star grass, and next to the cliff, the air felt even colder.
Raising his head and seeing the small piece of cold star grass, Xiao Xiong couldn't stop being nervous in his heart: Damn, there is no place to support climbing, how can I go up?
"I'm fine!
Turning his head and shouting at Feng Ruonan, Xiao Xiong had already made a decision in his heart: The true qi of the Wangqi realm has been accumulated for so long, can it support my body to soar upward?
Afraid that he would have three strengths and two weaknesses, Xiao Xiong was prepared for the worst, so he asked Feng Ruonan to close his eyes, not wanting her to see the consequences of failure, it would be too tragic.
Holding his breath, he reminded himself not to be nervous, his eyes were fixed on the cold star grass above his head, Xiao Xiong kicked his legs, his body soared upward, and he straightened his right arm and grabbed a rock protruding from the cliff with his left hand.
"Caught!"
As if Ling Bo was taking a slight step, Xiao Xiong, who was flying in the air, stepped on the mountain quickly with his legs, grabbed two cold star grasses with his right hand, and pulled them fiercely, the process lasted for six or seven seconds, and his body had a tendency to fall.
"Ahh
Seeing Xiao Xiong's body sliding rapidly, Feng Ruonan's eyes were shocked with tears, and he shouted hysterically: "Don't!"
