Chapter 8: Elixir and Demon

Early the next morning, Gu Muyao saw that the sky was not good, and she was afraid of a thunderstorm. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info So she got up early and went up the mountain, because the mountain road was difficult to walk, and if she didn't pick medicine because of the rain, she was worried that her father's body would not be able to bear it.

But she didn't know that as soon as she left, a figure broke into her house. Gu Qi looked at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in the house, frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"I'm going to kill you."

Gu Qi smiled bitterly and sighed: "I knew that you hated our father and daughter, I was a dying person, and it was not a pity to die." It's just that Yao'er is still young, so I just ask you to let her go. ”

"Hmph."

only heard a cold snort, and then Gu Qi saw that the person who came flicked his hand, and the next second he felt that his mouth was astringent.

He was about to ask her what she had done, but the man was no longer in the room. With the astringency in his mouth, a burst of heart-piercing pain seemed to overflow from the bone marrow, and his eyes began to turn black, but he gritted his teeth and persevered with the obsession in his heart. He had to wait for Yao'er to come back and remind her......

The green pine buckles, and the green cypress is gloomy. Gu Muyao, who was only ten years old, carried a wooden stick and wore broken straw shoes that had exposed her toes in the mountains, struggling to find elixirs and herbs.

Although the hour was still early, the sky was already covered with black and oppressive dark clouds, and people couldn't help but worry about whether this day would fall like this.

Occasionally, it is accompanied by lightning and thunder, which is very terrifying.

But in such weather, the young Gu Muyao still insisted on finding medicine for her father.

Suddenly, Gu Muyao's eyes lit up, because she saw a grass that was crystal clear, red as fire, and shimmering. She took a closer look, and a clear medicinal fragrance came to her nose, yes, it was the Red Blood Yan Yan Grass, she was not mistaken.

She couldn't help but laugh, and finally ran into an elixir for her. She was about to pick it when a human-faced demon butterfly suddenly flew out of the shadows.

"Human, what are you going to do?"

Gu Muyao was stunned for a moment, looked at the butterfly with big colorful wings and a human face, and asked, "Are you talking?" ”

"Is there a second person here?"

"Uh......" Gu Muyao looked left and right, then blushed, and asked with an embarrassed smile: "I'm sorry, my father is seriously injured and needs elixir to continue his life." Butterfly Fairy, can you give me the medicine? ”

Butterfly fairy? The corners of the human-faced demon butterfly's mouth twitched, this girl treats her as a fairy? Isn't she afraid of her?

"You're not afraid of me?"

Gu Muyao asked suspiciously, "Why are you afraid?" ”

"I ...... I'm the body of a butterfly, the face of a human ......."

"Is it a butterfly fairy?"

“……”

Although this little girl is very cute, she does not sacrifice her own interests to save the compassionate consciousness of a strange human.

"I don't care about your recklessness this time, you can leave quickly, before I regret it."

"Butterfly Fairy, please give me the medicine, my father is waiting for the medicine to save his life."

As soon as she saw that the human-faced demon butterfly began to drive people away, Gu Muyao immediately begged urgently.

The sky is getting darker and darker, and the rain is falling like a curtain of beads.

Seeing that the human-faced demon butterfly had been indifferent, Gu Muyao became more and more anxious. The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and if you don't get back in time, it's dangerous to go down the mountain.

After thinking about it, she suddenly picked up a sharp dead branch next to her, and then slashed it towards her palm, which was no longer young because she often did things, and the smell of blood immediately overflowed through the wound.

"Butterfly Fairy, I'm willing to exchange blood for your medicine, okay?"

She didn't know why she did this suddenly, but in her impression, the villagers were always talking about her physique, and since she was so attracted to demon beasts, then her blood should also attract demon beasts.

At the end of the day, she's just gambling with herself.

The human-faced demon butterfly sniffed deeply, and his face was intoxicated. There was a touch of greed and jealousy under his eyes.

"Okay." The human-faced demon butterfly replied decisively, and then said: "You fill this small bottle with blood, and I will give you the medicine." ”

With a wave of his wings, a small jade bottle about a finger long appeared on the ground, Gu Muyao pursed her lips, and asked with a little tangled face: "Fairy, do you want to change the bottle?" ”

She knew that the elixir was valuable, and she didn't want others to suffer, so when she saw the human-faced demon butterfly giving her such a small jade bottle, she couldn't help but remind her.

"Hmph, you can't fill this small bottle with all your blood, stop talking nonsense, hurry up." The human-faced demon butterfly said disdainfully.

Gu Muyao bit her lower lip when she heard this, and once again slashed her palm with the sharp dead branch, and then immediately picked up the small jade bottle and began to bleed.

Fearing that the rain would dilute her blood, the Human-Faced Demon Butterfly waved her wings to create an enchantment, which was separated as soon as the rain touched it. So much so that although the rain was extremely heavy, Gu Muyao did not get drenched for half a minute.

The open wound would stop bleeding every few minutes, so she had to re-cut her palm every few minutes. It didn't take long for the small palm of his hand to be scratched and blurred with flesh and blood.

However, the weight of the small jade bottle did not change in the slightest, as if it had nothing to contain.

Time passed minute by minute, until half an hour later, Gu Muyao's little face was bloody, I don't know if it was pain or too much blood loss.

"Okay, okay, you can take the Red Blood Yan Yan Grass."

The human-faced demon butterfly looked at Gu Muyao's self-mutilating bloodletting, and said impatiently, at the end, she said with a disgusted face: "Human, I'm not soft-hearted, I'm just tired of waiting, understand?" ”

Gu Muyao smiled weakly and didn't say anything, just handed over the small jade bottle. The human-faced demon butterfly took a deep sniff in the small jade bottle, and sighed: "It's so fragrant." ”

When she squatted down and picked up the red blood Yan Yan grass and was about to get up, a strong feeling of dizziness came, and she stumbled a few steps and almost fell, but it took a while to ease up.

She said goodbye to the human-faced demon butterfly and walked down the mountain, her already painful numb hand began to sting again because of the rain, as if there were thousands of needles pricking her palm.

The bloody scabbed wound was washed by the rain, and the rain turned into blood, flowing along Gu Muyao's footprints. Fortunately, the bloody qi was quickly washed and diluted by the heavy rain, and it did not attract other demon beasts.

But leaving the wound alone, it is still very likely to attract a few potential high-level demon beasts, but now she can't take care of anything, she has to hurry home and then boil medicine for Daddy. The joy of the elixir overwhelmed all the pain in her body.

On the next steep slope, because of the urgency of the fall, some of the soft soil that had been washed away by the heavy rain was still slippery, so Gu Muyao fell down all of a sudden, rolling down the hillside. Fell and covered in mud and water.

"Ahem...... Phew. ”

Spit out the muddy water in his mouth and suddenly find that his hand is empty. Gu Muyao, who didn't cry when she used a withered branch to draw the blood on her palm, cried all of a sudden, and the tears rolled out of her eyes and the rain on her face, and her face suddenly became extremely blurry.

"Medicine...... Daddy's Medicine ...... Can't afford to lose ......"

She knelt on the ground, groping in the muddy water little by little, and the unhealed wounds on her hands soaked in the muddy water, but she really didn't care so much. Now she has only one thought in her heart, and that is that the medicine cannot be lost.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and she finally found the red-blooded Yan Yan Grass buried by muddy water.

When she went down the mountain, Gu Muyao couldn't be described as embarrassed. Because the word embarrassed is no longer enough to describe one thousandth of her current condition.

When she returned to the village, she didn't care about the surprise and disdain of the villagers, and rushed all the way to the house, but she didn't dare to see Gu Qi immediately, she was afraid that he would be worried and sad.

So she washed the mud off her body in the pouring rain outside, and then went back to her house to change into clean clothes. After cleaning himself up, he dared to see Gu Qi.

"Daddy, I'm back."

Silence, deathly silence.

"Daddy? Father? ”

Gu Muyao tiptoed towards Gu Qi, as if she was afraid that if she made a big move, she would argue with the skinny man who was lying on the bed and was already suffering from illness.
