Chapter 1: The Doctor, the Dumb and the Fool
In the deep night sky, a bright moon hangs, and the twinkling stars stretch as far as the eye can see. Together, they shrouded this Xuanhuang Continent.
The story begins with the death of the protagonist's adoptive father.
The wind is a little tight tonight. Through the cracks in the wooden windows, the candles flickered and dimmed.
The flickering candlelight reflected on the dark wooden bed, which looked a little weak.
Dr. Bai was not yet fifty years old, and he was already bedridden. Tonight's cold wind made him seem to see the end of his life.
Doctor Bai's chest was a little stuffy.
In this world where cultivators are immortal for hundreds of years, or even immortal for thousands of years. I didn't live to be fifty years old, and I was not reconciled.
I was born with a distinguished background, but my death was as humble as a mustard! My life was as small as dust and sand, and I did nothing.
My Bai family is one of the five major families. As one of the rulers of the entire mortal world, the pinnacle of humane cultivation. The bloodlines are all extraordinary, and generations of talents have been produced. Why am I the only one who has no cultivation qualifications? Obviously, I am more determined than anyone else, and I have to work hard.
I think that even when it was confirmed that I could not practice, I did not give up. resolutely abandoned the comfort and glory that he could have to travel, seeking the opportunity to change his physique.
In the past ten years, I have traveled all over the world following the rumors of the secret treasure of immortals, and I have ignited hope countless times, but I have been disappointed again and again.
Finally I was desperate and I chased everyone around me. Thinking about dying alone like this, going to a place where no one knows and dying secretly. Just act as if you have never existed in this world, I'm sorry mother, I am ashamed of the Bai family and live up to the glory of the Bai family.
Alone, lonely, this loneliness makes me even more unwilling. I began to get angry, and anger ignited my desperate heart again. I'm still alive, I can't be defeated, and I rise again. If you can't ask for others, then ask for yourself. I started frantically looking for famous doctors to practice my medical skills, and I wanted to cure myself.
I'm going to heal myself?
Doctor Bai, recalling this, felt the pain on his body, and smiled self-deprecatingly.
In fact, I have been desperate for a long time, and today, why bother to deceive myself again. Studying medicine to treat one's own constitution or something, just to find an excuse to make a living, right? Otherwise, why don't you want to go back to the Bai family? The Bai family's resources are far richer and more profound than what you have searched.
Those geniuses who have studied medicine for hundreds of years are still helpless, and what is my insignificant effort? I can't even die with backbone.
Sure enough, I'm just a weakling, this pig and dog life.
"Squeak~" The door was pushed open.
Doctor Bai turned his head hard, his vision was already blurred, and his eyelids felt very heavy. It's hard to tell who came in.
Two figures. One person has black hair up to his waist, white clothes are above his knees, thin and small. The other man was tall and scruffy, and after him in white, he could vaguely hear him muttering some strange words in a stupid tone.
After ten years of searching for immortals and ten years of studying medicine, he finally wandered to this remote mountain village located in the easternmost part of Dongzhou, where he became a doctor and treated the people in the village. Thirteen years ago, when I went out to collect medicine, I got lost inexplicably. Until midnight, I followed the faint sound of flowing water to a small stream.
Bright moonlight, shining on the stream. In the midst of the broken moonlight there was a sleeping baby.
This is a girl, and Dr. Bai adopted her and named her Bai Yue. It is the figure in white mentioned earlier. As a descendant of the Bai family, even if he was down, he never thought of marrying a mortal and having children. Adopting this child is also a consolation to his lonely person.
It is not easy for an adult man to raise this baby on his own. Fortunately, I knew that the Wang family in the village had just given birth to a child. He spent money to ask the daughter-in-law of the Wang family to help take care of it.
The girl is very unlikable. She has never made a noise since she was adopted, and she always looks malnourished. Everyone in the village knew that he was a sick and mute.
Generally speaking, with the level of medical skills that Dr. Bai has accumulated over the years, even if he is congenitally mute, he can be cured. But after his repeated confirmation, there was no problem with the baby's vocal organs.
Even the reflex nerve he had carefully examined and couldn't find a problem. In the end, Dr. Bai got a very depressed answer, the child probably just didn't want to talk.
As for malnutrition, it is not the daughter-in-law of the Wang family who abused her. Dr. Bai found that the energy in this small body was lost very quickly, and its whereabouts were unknown. This strange loss of energy has become the second major problem for Dr. Bai after his own qualifications.
In addition to these problems, Bai Yue is a very smart and sensible child...... In fact, some are too smart and sensible.
Because of her weak body, Bai Yue was more than a year old and could barely support her body - the little baby of the Wang family of the same age had already run crazy in the village. However, as soon as Bai Yue can stand up, he will be able to walk immediately. And began to dress and eat by himself, and even helped the family with some simple household chores such as sweeping the floor and making the bed.
Dr. Bai was sure that she had early wisdom, so he began to try to teach her to read, and the terrible thing was that in less than a day, she learned all the words that Dr. Bai had taught and not taught. I'm already reading silently on the side. Doctor Bai felt that he had crossed over, and this daughter had grown up before she could raise her.
Once, when Dr. Bai was doing a medicinal experiment, he suddenly had some inspiration and wanted to add a glass grass. But there is no one at hand, and the drug reaction needs to be observed and recorded, and I can't leave it for a while. Just as he was distressed, he saw Bai Yue put the glass grass in front of him. Doctor Bai was also a figure standing at the top of the world, and combined with all the things in the past, he immediately determined that Bai Yue was probably born to be able to read minds.
It wasn't until much later that he realized that Bai Yue's ability was more than just mind reading.
Of course, the people in the village didn't know about these things, and they only felt that Bai Yue was a lonely mute.
There's even more magic. When the child was three years old, he didn't know where to pick up a baby boy. In the crying of the baby boy and the surprised eyes of Dr. Bai, Bai Yue said the first words of her life.
"Adopt him. ”
Doctor Bai's heart at this time was complicated and indescribable. was stunned for a long time, okay, he can afford to raise another child. Looking at it like this, this time it should be a normal child...... Normal, right?
This baby boy is the person who followed behind Bai Yue in front, named Bai Ye, in order to match Bai Yue's name. The doctor hopes that when he grows up, he will be as deep and tall as the night sky, and that he will protect his moon.
White Night is the opposite of the White Moon when he was a child, crying and crying for most of the day, full of vitality. Different from the ordinary babies' babbling and screaming, the cry of the white night is very rhythmic.
Dr. Bai soon discovered that this was probably a language he had never heard of. With the experience of my previous adopted daughter, Dr. Bai is as stable as an old dog this time, indicating that my heart has no fluctuations.
It's the inheritance of memory, this is not such a magical thing in the Xuanhuang Continent. Doctor Bai silently guessed.
However, it's not that simple.
He walks and learns very quickly, but his intellectual development is slow, he spends his days babbling gibberish about pronunciation that people can't understand, and his behavior is illogical and he can't take care of himself. At the age of ten, he still can't speak.
Dr. Bai used all the neurofluoroscopy devices he brought from home decades ago, but he didn't find any problems. One can only guess that the problem is in the soul. This has become the third major illness that Dr. Bai cannot cure in his life.
For the villagers, there is one more fool and strange person in the village. Fools always speak a language that no one understands and do strange things.
For example, when it is dark, instead of lighting candles, fools will stick their hands to the wall and keep fumbling. For example, he will always hold his hand half-clenched, as if he is holding something, and stare motionlessly in front of him, or put it to his ear and make a "hey, hey" sound. When fighting, he will run and swing his fists while humming strange music. And so on all sorts of strange moves.
To put it bluntly, the fool contracted half of the villagers' laughter - albeit a "laugh" of "mockery".
However, in fact, no one in the village dared to bully the fool, because the people who bullied the fool were seriously injured by Bai Yue, and then the villagers found out how this sick girl who seemed to be weak and couldn't help the wind had so much strength.
Speaking of which, the intimate relationship between Bai Ye and Bai Yue is incredible.
Since Bai Ye was adopted, except for the daughter-in-law of Lao Wang next door who needs to breastfeed, Bai Yue is taking care of it alone. Almost all the time, he was by his brother's side, taking care of and protecting him, and even taught him to read.
And Bai Ye is also very strange, as an unreasonable fool, he actually listens to his sister very strangely. People also understand from the interaction between the two siblings: the dumb man is not really dumb, and the fool can understand human speech!
"You're going to die. Bai Yue's indifferent voice sounded, bringing Doctor Bai from memory to reality again.
Dr. Bai understood that it was time to confess his last words. He lifted his breath and said hard, "The letter and the jade pendant in the box...... You should know that when you want to leave, you can give it to Mrs. Xiaoxiang in Donglin City, and she will help you settle everything...... Go to the Bai family, the problem between you and Bai Ye may be solved there."
In fact, Doctor Bai knew that there was no need to say this, as long as he thought about it in his heart, Bai Yue would know. But he still mustered up the strength to say it, and felt that it would be too pitiful if he didn't even have a chance to say his last words. He suddenly felt that his gray life had become a little humorous before he died.
"I can heal you. Bai Yue's indifferent voice sounded again.
Doctor Bai's heart beat violently with this voice. His mouth opened and closed, as if he wanted to say something, his expression tensed, and gradually calmed down, as if he had given up.
"I'm sorry...... I'm tired ......", his pupils dilated slightly, as if he was looking at something in the distance.
Silence returned to the room, and even the white night was surprisingly quiet.
Oh, forgot. There was also the sound of a whining cold wind coming in from outside, wanton inside the house.
Doctor Bai's breathing became weaker and weaker. There seemed to be tears pouring out of his eyes. What's the matter? How many times has he been disappointed and desperate, but he hasn't cried, what's wrong today? Was he too weak before he died? He wanted to laugh at himself, but he couldn't.
Mortals say that they know the destiny of heaven fifty. The blurred gaze through the crystal tears magically became extraordinarily clear. He looked at the indifferent girl, the stupid boy, out of place in this world. It seems that he suddenly understands something, and now he really wants to laugh, and wants to laugh unbridledly!
Doctor Bai closed his eyes forever in the laughter that filled the whole world.
