Chapter 5: The Flaming Red Iris
"Xiao Qi, we grew up together since we were children and are best friends. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info I believe in you, so I don't want to pretend to be anything in front of you, maybe you will think that this is different from me in the past, but Qi Nian is Qi Nian, she will always be best friends with Xiao Qi. ”
Since her rebirth, no matter how many thoughts she has in her heart, but at this moment, her words are absolutely sincere.
Since the first step on this mountain, there has been nothing unusual on her face, but what has been wandering in her mind has always been the scene before she died in her previous life.
That day, she stood on the edge of the cliff in a state of utter utterance, full of hatred and resentment that almost burned herself to ashes. She chose to die so tragically, in addition to her hatred for her enemies, but also for her regret for being weak and cowardly at the mercy of others.
The past flashed in front of me one by one, thinking of the days when the pigs and dogs were not as good as the pigs and dogs, today I can be so calm as water, in addition to the change of heart, there is also a faint confidence in myself.
Reliving this life, she will not only have the ability to control her life, but also fulfill her last words before she died, and personally send those enemies to the eighteenth layer of hell!
"Yes, we'll always be good friends. Xiao Qi bent his eyes and smiled, as if a clear spring was flowing out from the bottom of his eyes, and the stars of the river were rippling and twinkling in it.
"Since I am a good friend, I helped me think of how to pick the flower on the cliffside. Qi Nian frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand: "Just under that big stone, I can faintly see its petals, but it's a rare red color!"
Xiao Qi stretched out his head to look, and saw a huge rock sticking out from the edge of the cliff, and some dirt was piled up in the recess under the stone, and a patch of grass grew in the air. The lush grass is particularly lush because of the unique terrain, and there is a bright red hidden in the leaves of the forest that are blown by the wind. He fixed his eyes and saw that it was a rare fire iris in the world as if it was stained with blood!
Iris is a kind of ordinary flower that can be used in medicine, which has the effect of detoxification and accumulation. The fire iris in the iris is much rarer and more precious, it can be said that every bit from the root to the core of the flower is a treasure, which can make poison and detoxification.
If it weren't for the fact that a poison master like Lao Langzhong was not willing to get Xiao Qi back this flower for him, he probably wouldn't have had the leisure to test her.
Qi Nian sighed secretly in his heart, it seemed that he wanted to learn some real skills from that old fox, and he had to be ready to fight wits and courage all the time.
"I know that the old Wang Ba is not well-intentioned!" Xiao Qi said angrily: "He has wanted this fire iris for a long time, and he has no ability to get it, but he thinks of a way to send someone else to help him get it." ”
"Do you have a way?" Qi Nian looked at him expectantly.
"Of course!" After all, he is young and vigorous, and he likes to show off in front of girls, Xiao Qi is gearing up at this time, "You wait here, I'll pick it up and show you." ”
He took dozens of flexible vines from the forest, and soon kneaded them into a strong rope, then wrapped one end around a nearby tree, and the other end tightly tied around his waist.
Qi Nian immediately knew in his heart that he was going to pull the rope and swing to the bottom of the cliff to pick the fire iris.
She couldn't help but blurt out, "No! It's too dangerous!"
"What's the matter, I often go to collect medicine for that dead old man, it doesn't matter. Xiao Qi was very agile, and only smiled mischievously: "Today will open your eyes, but don't blink!"
As he spoke, he had already dragged the long rope to the edge of the cliff, pulled the rope heavily to see if it was stable, turned his face and winked at Qi Nian, and then disappeared on the edge of the cliff.
Qi Nian's heart seemed to pause, and her own death in her previous life flashed in front of her eyes, causing her to lose control so much that she couldn't help but run to the edge of the cliff with her hands and feet.
But I saw that under the boulder, Xiao Qi's left hand controlled the rope around his waist, and his right hand was trying to stretch out to the fiery red flower swaying in the wind. His legs pressed on the stone wall and carefully moved his position, and as soon as the loose gravel on the mountain stone was stepped on, it fluttered and fell, and disappeared in an instant when he entered the abyss.
Qi Nian only felt that his heart that had just stopped was pounding again, and he only lay on the edge of the cliff staring at him with his eyes, and he didn't dare to take a breath.
Xiao Qi picked the flowers with difficulty, and shook them to Qi Nian with a smile as if offering treasures.
Qi Nian suddenly felt that his chest was sore, and he almost wanted to cry.
In my previous life, I was too blind, and I was sincere to people who wanted to use my hypocrisy, but I always ignored the people who were really good to me.
After tossing for most of the day, when they went down the mountain, it was already sunset.
Qi Nian was a delicate little girl, and she didn't eat or drink any food or water after walking on the mountain road for so long, so she had already lost her temper. Fortunately, Xiao Qi seemed to be almighty, picking some wild fruits along the way, and the two of them shared them, which was also sweet and delicious.
Lying on Xiao Qi's back, Qi Nian held the small cloth bag where the fire iris was placed in one hand, and hugged his neck with the other, and his feet swayed to reveal that he was in a very happy mood.
She can be regarded as open, Hengzhu herself is only ten years old, and the laws of the Weiyang State stipulate that a man with a weak crown can marry a wife, and a woman and a husband can marry a husband, not to mention that in this small mountain village, there is nothing to avoid suspicion. Reliving a life, she wants everything to follow her own heart.
"Nian'er, after you go back, when the old man decomposes you of the snake venom, let's put him in a sack and beat him up, okay?" Xiao Qi was obviously very relaxed, and said straight to the bad water: "It's better to tell Aunt Qin that he won't have anything to eat for a few days when he is hungry." Who made him so bad today, that we should run back and forth for a flower? ”
"Of course not, I have to apprentice this time, how can the apprentice beat the master. Qi Nian grabbed the pocket in his hand and said playfully: "The gift you helped me get is sure to match his old man's heart." ”
"I really don't understand why you have to worship him as a teacher. Xiao Qi shook his head, "If anyone dares to tease me like this, I will definitely return it twice." ”
I really envy your revenge temperament. This is what Qi Nian has never said, she knows that there is hatred, and there is no other way than to take it step by step.
After thinking about it, she smiled and said, "Actually, the master made the blind and dumb snake bite me, and he detoxified me at that time." ”
"You're saying that he didn't give a pill to relieve snake venom, but an antidote?"
Xiao Qi has lived with Lao Langzhong all the year round, even if he has never studied medicine with him, most of them know about it, but this time he just cares about it, and he didn't pay attention to these details in a panic.
"Exactly. I often went to the pharmacy to read some medical books for the rest of the month, and I always felt obscure and incomprehensible, but in fact, it was just my own shallow knowledge. After traveling for most of the day like today, I think it's better than reading a book for months. Qi Nian said the truth, "Although the blind and dumb snake venom is tricky and fast, it is not difficult to understand, the snake head bites, as long as you take a piece of skin and flesh of the bezoar, Chonglou, Cangzi, and the stone Baijia blind and dumb snake tail, you can make an antidote." ”
"So he locked himself in the house early in the morning and didn't go out, and he didn't allow me to go in, just to make an antidote?" Xiao Qi also suddenly realized: "No wonder the medicine house will attract so many poisonous insects and poisonous ants, the poisonous flesh and blood of the blind and dumb snake has always been a good product to attract poison." ”
"It seems that this fire iris is really extremely important, otherwise Master would not have gone to such great lengths to make us pick it up. Qi Nian was not at all annoyed by the situation that she had seen through early in the morning, and worshipping Lao Langzhong as a teacher was indeed what she thought in her heart. It's just that she didn't understand one thing yet, so she asked bluntly: "I was hit with the poison twice in a day, so I can naturally temporarily restrain the poison of the Phantom Grass, but why can you not be affected by the Phantom Grass?"
She had been with this doubt since she went up the mountain, and it was really painful to ask at this time.
"Illusion grass is nothing, it's just a small skill. Nian'er, I told you today, you can't tell others that day. Xiao Qi hesitated for a moment and said, "After all, this is about my life." ”
Intuition told Qi Nian that it was best not to know these secrets, but she always felt that something was wrong, so she couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay, I won't say anything about anyone, it's just a secret between the two of us." ”
"I was raised by an old man when I was a child, although he didn't have a bad heart and a very strange temper, and things like this happen today. If I do something to make him angry, he will let some poison bite me, and he will not give me the detoxification until I admit defeat and beg for mercy. Later, as I got older, I just felt that it was spineless to admit my mistakes easily, so I deliberately confronted him and asked him to poison me. Although I choked on those poisons, I never admit defeat, and I got used to it if I endured it. After a long time, the old man suddenly found that the poison he had given me had no effect, and that if he didn't detoxify me, it would only be painful, and it would not endanger my life. Since then, he has paid special attention to me, and no longer poisoned me at will like in the past, but only asked me to test the poison for him twice a day, and gradually I actually practiced a good body that is invulnerable to all poisons, which is really a blessing in disguise. ”
Although he said with a smile and heartlessness, it made Qi Nian feel pity immediately.
She lived to be twenty years old in her previous life, and she is ten years old in this life, so she is also a woman in her thirties mentally. Looking at such a strong and optimistic teenager with her eyes, her heart suddenly gave birth to only the love for her like a sister and a mother.
Xiao Qi was stared at by her burning gaze, only to feel that his back was like a needle prick, and after a while, he was already sweating, scratching his ears and cheeks.
Qi Nian smiled secretly in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, he only said: "You put me down, I can go by myself when I have reached the foot of the mountain." ”
Xiao Qi put her down with relief.
