Chapter Twenty-Five: I'm Not a Man
CHAPTER XXV
In the dense forest, Hu Xiaobao stepped on the dead leaves, and the back of the basket and axe was shuttled through the forest. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the past, Hu Xiaobao would never have come to the depths of this dense forest. However, in the past three years, he has been picking every day without interruption, even if there is only Hu Xiaobao alone, a back basket, and the medicinal materials on the periphery of the alder forest in Danhu Mountain will be picked cleanly, seeing that Sister Wakaba is getting better day by day, Hu Xiaobao can't bear to stop the medicine.
In the past two years, Hu Xiaobao has also figured out a little rule, the most effective for Sister Wakaba's condition is not only medicinal materials such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, especially the many non-toxic but very rare mountain exotic medicinal fruits, and these medicinal fruits are very rare, even if there are more spiritual fruits inside than outside, but they are only half a basket of picks along the way.
Hu Xiaobao looked at the half basket of medicinal fruits, and then looked at the dark and endless depths of the dense forest, thinking of Sister Wakaba at home, gritted his teeth, and continued to move forward.
Suddenly, he heard a loud shout from the left: "Who's there?!" ”
——
The extremely weak Wei Mei woke up from his sleep, in fact, he didn't sleep too long, it was only two hours, he just woke up, looked at the amber in his hand that had been completely shattered, and sighed softly: "It turns out that this is the case......"
Suddenly, Wei Mei's innate sense of smell told him that someone was approaching here, not Huangquan Venerable Ai Ling, just an ordinary human being.
Wei Mei frowned, and the brilliance of the mountain beast was no longer visible on his handsome face, it should have been after he woke up this time, his beastly temperament had disappeared without a trace. Transcendent, unworldly.
He is extremely weak now, not to mention that at this time, Venerable Ai Ling came in person, even an ordinary person can easily take his life, even if he has all kinds of ability, but when this divine soul is broken, he can't exert it at all.
But...... Even so, he would rather die in the mouth of the beast than die at the hands of this filthy mortal, and use the true yuan at the moment, cheering up his spirit, just to scare away the people in the future.
"Who's there?"
Hu Xiaobao was slightly stunned when he heard this, there were other people in the depths of this dense forest? However, this tone is so scary!
Hu Xiaobao is still a child after all, and responded with a wince: "It's me, I'...... I'm here to go up the mountain to collect medicine! ”
When Wei Mei heard that it was a child's voice, and it was a boy's voice, she breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but a wave of anger rose from her face uncontrollably.
"What's your name and why are you here?"
"My name is Hu Xiaobao, from Linghu Village under the mountain, my sister is sick and needs medicinal herbs to cure her illness!"
The moment she heard the boy say that she was "Hu Xiaobao", her eyes were cold and domineering. But when he heard that his sister was sick and needed medicinal herbs to treat her illness, he was slightly stunned.
Cure?! At that moment, Wei Mei really felt that her ears had misheard. No kidding, Hu Xiaobao would go to find medicinal herbs to treat his sister......
"Your sister...... Is it called Wakaba? The charm asked uncertainly.
"Hey, you know my sister?!"
It's more than just acquaintance...... Wei Mei's heart was slightly sour, after he woke up from the big dream, he naturally knew what he had done, but he didn't expect that in this life, it was he who hurt her.
"How is your sister doing now?"
Hearing the inquiry of this unknown voice, Hu Xiaobao's eyes dimmed, and his voice dropped a lot: "My sister, she has gone crazy since her parents were eaten by the mountain gods two years ago, but she has been much better over the years. ”
Went crazy...... Is it?
"Since your sister is crazy, why don't you look at the depths of the jungle?" If your memory is not wrong, there should be a lot of medicinal herbs on the periphery of the forest, and this Hu Xiaobao must have a plan in the depths. Thinking of this, there was a hint of coolness in Wei Mei's eyes again.
Hearing the unknown voice, Hu Xiaobao said helplessly: "I pick a big basket every day, and I can only rub out 5 or 6 pills for my sister to eat every day, and after two years, there are no herbs left in the periphery!" So I had to come here. ”
"......" for two years...... Every day, ...... the charm fell silent when she heard it.
On the other side, Hu Xiaobao saw that the voice no longer appeared, only that the mysterious person who knew his sister had left.
Maybe it's my sister's former relative!
Hu Xiaobao thought of this, so he stopped thinking about this mysterious voice and concentrated on finding medicinal herbs and fruits.
Wei Mei sensed that Hu Xiaobao suddenly left and walked farther and farther, a heavy entanglement appeared on his face, and finally, he shouted with Zhenyuan: "Little baby, you come to me, I just have a miracle medicine here, which can cure your sister's illness!" ”
Hu Xiaobao, who was picking fruits, was slightly stunned when he heard this sudden voice, and then ecstatic, I met a noble person today!
"Ahh It's true? I'll be right away! ”
Didn't ask if there were really herbs? Without any hesitation, he immediately ran over, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw and desperately trying to catch it.
This...... Is it really Hu Xiaobao?
After a while, Hu Xiaobao appeared in front of the charm, when Hu Xiaobao saw the charm of the ghost, his eyes suddenly widened, very incredible, those eyes were full of fear, fear, expectation...... Many elements.
Hu Xiaobao will never forget that day, the day when the mountain god Charm descended the mountain once every hundred years, the day he ate his parents, and the day when Sister Wakaba went crazy......
"You ......"
It was easy to read Hu Xiaobao's thoughts, grinning, and the white fangs were shining coldly, "That's right, I'm Wei Mei!" ”
After Hu Xiaobao heard the confirmation of the charm of the ghost, his face turned white, but it was this charm that said that he had the medicinal materials to cure Sister Wakaba, and he couldn't escape, he couldn't escape......
Hu Xiaobao held back his fear, and said in fear: "You said, there are medicinal materials that can cure my sister's illness!" ”
Looking at the frightened Hu Xiaobao, her heart was slightly sour, is it true that people are "one life is one life"? Smiled: "Of course! ”
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and spit out a golden ball that radiated a misty light and handed it to Hu Xiaobao.
"What is this?" Hu Xiaobao looked at the golden ball, and couldn't suppress the desire in his heart, he knew that it was a good thing, although he hadn't seen it, but he just knew that it must be a good thing.
"Medicine that can cure your sister's illness!"
"......" Hu Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, stepped forward in fear, and carefully took the small golden ball.
swallowed his saliva, and an extremely yearning look appeared on his face, but in the end, he carefully took out the money bag from his arms, poured out the copper plate inside, and carefully put the gold ball into it.
Seeing all this in his eyes, he sighed deeply, sure enough, in this life, he is different from him! If it had been before, he would have eaten his Neidan immediately.
Hu Xiaobao loaded the golden ball, and was about to run away halfway through, when he suddenly thought of something, he turned back to Wei Mei and said: "Thank you, Lord Mountain God, when I cure my sister, I will definitely come back to the mountains for you to eat!" ”
There were also some immature voices that were very firm, and with that, they turned around and ran down the mountain.
Hearing Hu Xiaobao's words when he was leaving, he was stunned, and immediately couldn't cry or laugh. I thought of Hu Xiaobao's rough and dark skin, calloused hands, thin figure, and half a basket of medicinal fruits......
"Alas...... Origin and extinction, flowers bloom and thank, love is sparse and affectionate, love is separated from love, and ......"
After the rain, the sunshine shined through the faint branches and leaves, sprinkled on the handsome but dazed face of the charm, and there was a faint warmth......
——
Single Fox Mountain, in front of the alder forest, in Linghu Village.
Hu Xiaobao rushed into the door and startled Wakaba, who got up and sat on the edge of the bed!
"Ahh
Wakaba whimpered and curled up in the corner of the hut, her miserable little face and big frightened eyes were distressing and pitiful at the same time.
"Sister Wakaba, Sister Wakaba! Your illness is cured! ”
Hu Xiaobao stepped forward to pull up Wakaba, hugged Wakaba's waist and happily circled around the house. Wakaba, who is already 12 years old, is not as tall as Hu Xiaobao, and Hu Xiaobao has been training like an ordinary teenager because of his long years of rough work.
Wakaba stared at Hu Xiaobao with big frightened eyes, but she didn't struggle, even if she was crazy, whether it was habit, instinct or intuition, she didn't think Hu Xiaobao would hurt herself, so she let Hu Xiaobao hold herself in circles all over the ground.
After turning for a while, Hu Xiaobao put down Wakaba, took out the money bag in his arms, poured out the gold ball inside, washed and washed it with warm water in the kettle on the side, and then gave it to Wakaba.
"Sister Wakaba, come and eat it, this is the elixir given by Lord Mountain God, and you will definitely get better if you eat it!"
"Mmmmmmmm Wakaba grunted twice, stared at the golden, faintly glowing ball left and right, and then obediently ate it!
……
It was like a small dark room, and I stayed quietly in this small dark room. As a former New Century Three Good Boys, I am now a patriarchal peasant Lori in feudal society, and I still think it's incredible. I have always pursued freedom, prosperity, and prosperity, and I am willing to stay in this little dark room, but the truth is that I stay in this little dark room and do not want to go out.
It's like a deep pool that doesn't drown. I was quietly immersed in it, very relaxed, very relieved, not having to think about those upsetting things, not having to look at those unpleasant images, not having to listen to those nasty sounds. Even when I occasionally open my eyes at the bottom of this pool, I think: Who am I? Where did it come from? Where are you going?
As a result, I thought about it for a long time without any results, and I got tired of thinking, and then I fell into a deep sleep.
It's such a wonderful environment, even though I'm asleep, I know I'm asleep, I can still feel the presence around me, there's a legendary out-of-body feeling. When I fell asleep, I floated in this endless space, swinging, very happy, and never bored.
I can see everything that is happening in the outside world, but I can't convey it to my mind. So, until the moment I woke up, I was blocked from thinking about it, and the memories came flooding back......
……
A little golden light fell from the sky, and the ethereal little black house shattered, and the memories that were blocked out of my mind and consciousness poured into me like a tide when I woke up.
Everything Hu Xiaobao has done for me in the past two years is clearly imprinted in my mind.
"Hu ...... Small...... ......"I muttered as I looked at the little kid who was a lot darker, thinner, and rougher.
"Sister Wakaba!" Hearing my name be called, the little fart threw himself into my arms, crying loudly, tears of joy completely wet my skirt, I was dressed in clean and bright clothes, my skin was as white and delicate as snowflake brocade......
At that time, I looked at the crying little boy Hu, in stark contrast to myself, and there was only one voice in my heart: I am really not a man ******!
