Chapter 139: Help Me Pick and Write Herbs
The white light was not dazzling, but it seemed extremely solid, and I don't know how long it took, the light emitted by the [Healing Technique] in Fang Xiao's hand gradually weakened, and finally withdrew his hand, and easily covered the old woman lying on the bed with her eyes closed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The old woman's face no longer had a look of pain, it was much better than before, watching the old woman's breathing gradually stabilize and then become deep and long, Fang Xiao knew that this old woman had just been freed from the pain of illness and fell asleep.
This old woman is the Granny Jim mentioned by Nuno, although the old man is very sick, but for Fang Xiao's healing technique, it is not difficult to cure a disease of this magnitude.
In this world, there are ordinary physicians who help people heal diseases, and most of these doctors are people who are proficient in herbalism, and herbology is the simplest branch of alchemy, and they do not know alchemy, but use some herbs to treat diseases for patients.
And the priest's skills are really amazing in this continent of the gods, as if they can cure all diseases, think about it, even the injuries of the soldiers on the battlefield such as open skin and broken organs can be healed in a blink of an eye under the skills of the priest, not to mention treating some common diseases for ordinary people.
Seeing that the old man had turned the corner, Fang Xiao was also a little relieved, and couldn't help but start looking around at this humble room.
The house was a dilapidated thatched hut at the foot of the Sunset Mountains, with the low earthen walls of Katoru to the east and the Sunset Mountains to the west.
The house is very simple, there are not a few decent pieces of furniture, although it does not leak everywhere, but in the early winter, the stove in the house is not burning, it seems that it is reluctant to add too much charcoal, and the low temperature makes people feel a little unbearable, which shows that the life of the people living here must be quite hard.
Fang Xiao couldn't help but raise his head and look around the house.
There were all some young children around, most of them were four or five years old, and Nuno was relatively large among them, but these children did not have the vigor that they should have at this age, and there was no laughter in the whole room, but the silence was terrible, they all sat far away from Fang Xiao, and their eyes looked at Fang Xiao motionlessly.
These gazes may be frightened, fearful, fearful, or guarded
But none of these eyes should belong to these four or five-year-olds.
And this is also a child, all with a big hat.
It seems that these children, like Nono, are subhumans.
But what is this subhuman?
Forget it, wait until you get back and ask someone...
Although Fang Xiao cured the old woman's illness, these children did not react, none of them dared to come forward, and they did not even dare to make a sound.
"Okay, okay, I'll go!" Fang Xiao shook his head helplessly, slapped his thigh, and stood up.
Obviously, he worked hard and promised Nuo Nuo to come all the way to treat people, but he didn't even have a cup of hot water.
Being a little uncomfortable to look at by these children, Fang Xiao only turned around and left the room.
As soon as I left the house and walked outside the door, I heard the children inside move, and it seemed that they immediately gathered around the old man...
So it seems
Humans don't get along very well with these subhumans...
"Wait a minute!" Just as Fang Xiao was about to go back, a small figure hurriedly ran out of the room.
Nuno panted and ran in front of Fang Xiao, there seemed to be tears in the corners of his eyes, but this time it looked like he was crying with joy
"Thank you so much," Nono said gratefully
"Don't thank me," Fang Xiao shook his head: "It's just a deal, remember what you promised me?" ”
"Well, I remember" Nuno nodded obediently, with tears in the corners of his eyes, and looked back at the direction of the house with great nostalgia, and finally had to sigh, and said to Fang Xiao: "Let's go......"
"Let's go? Where to? ”
"Huh?" Looking at Fang's confused expression, Nuo Nuo couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you going to take me away?" And put me in a cage and let me be your pet? ”
"Not really! I don't want to be your shovel officer! Who told you all this? ”
You're so big, it's definitely a lot of work to shovel!
Besides, I can't afford cat food or anything right now...
"What does that mean, shovel officer?" Listening to this unfamiliar word, looking at Fang Xiao's somewhat strange reaction, Nuo Nuo tilted his head and asked a little quickly
It's a good thing to be inquisitive
So Fang Xiao literally explained to this little girl with a pair of cat ears.
After listening, Nuo Nuo pulled both sides of his hat with his small hands, tried his best to block his red little face that seemed to be dripping blood, and shouted dissatisfiedly: "Just... Not really! That... I'll clean it up myself! Ay? Wrong! I... I wouldn't do that anywhere! ”
………………………………
Under the moonlight, Fang Xiao and Nuo Nuo sat on a tree stump not far from the house, and a piece bulged out of Nuo Nuo's soft-looking cheek, and inside was a sugar ball that he had just received from Fang Xiao. At this time, she had already put the hat in her hand, and her two furry ears were no longer drooping without a god, but raised high, whether they would tremble slightly.
"Granny Jim always told us to stay away from humans, and she always said that humans like to bully us subhumans the most, and when they catch us, they put us in cages, beat us, scold us, and treat us like pets. So when I asked you to come, I was ready for that. ”
I see
Although what the old man said may not be true, judging from the bad attitude of humans towards subhumans, eighty percent of them are lying to keep these children away from humans.
It's like when I was young, my grandmother used to say to herself
"If you don't obey, youkai will take you away!"
etcetera
That's why the kids in the house are so afraid of me...
"So, Mr. Kind Priest," Nuo Nuo seemed to be a little less wary of Fang Xiao, but a little more curious that a child should have, and thanked him sincerely in a childish voice, "What do I need to do for you?" ”
Fang Xiao raised his head, glanced at the Sunset Mountain Range that looked like a prostrate python in the night, and said to Nuo Nuo, "Since you live here, you should be familiar with the environment in the mountains, right?" ”
"Yes," Nuno nodded, "We grew up here, and in this part of the Barren Sunset Mountains, there are very few magical beasts, and we often go to the mountains to pick some herbs and take them to the city to sell." ”
The barren land, the vegetation is relatively sparse, and the same is true of the Sunset Mountains in this section, the sparse trees can't hide the monsters at all, and the food is not abundant, so this place is not suitable for the survival of the monsters.
However, due to the abundant precipitation in the climate here, some of the low herbs, like weeds, do not need to take many nutrients from the land, but grow very happily in this sunset mountain range.
"Since that's the case, it's even better," looking at the small figure in front of him, Fang Xiao said seriously, "I want you to help me pick some herbs." ”
