Chapter 6 Xiaobai
Ruan Xingyan followed Seventeen Jun to identify several herbs, and kept bending down to look for them. From time to time, she would look up and ask him if the herbs she had picked were correct, and she would make small talk with him.
Ruan Xingyan felt that their encounter was like the intersection of two parallel lines, which had moved for two thousand years before they had an intersection. She has a habit of talking non-stop to familiar people. She herself couldn't understand that the immortal master in front of her had only known him for three days, but she already had a very familiar feeling. Ruan Xingyan felt that maybe it was because he had a good temperament, was simple and gentle, and had no temper. Such handsome and good-tempered boys are extinct in modern times. She felt that although he was her master, he lacked social experience, and basically he would not refute anything she said. Such a fairy, she really didn't worry about letting him take her around the world.
"Master, how did you come to apprentice?"
"I was raised by my master, and I am an abandoned baby that he picked up."
"Abandoned babies?" Ruan Xingyan was shocked, it turned out that he was fatherless and motherless, and she was better than she had a father.
"Master brought me to the Seventh Heaven in the mortal world."
"The mortal world? Are you mortal? ”
"I'm not mortal. I am an immortal body, my real body is a dragon, and mortals cannot enter the heavenly realm. Master, he accidentally discovered me in Toyama two hundred years ago, when I was still a baby and a few days after I was born. Originally, he thought I was a mortal, so he didn't want to pay attention to it, but before leaving, he still opened his eyes and saw that I was a dragon, so he took me back. Toyama is where we live now. ”
"Is that the mountain next to the lake I fell into?"
"Yes. I also landed on Toyama at that time, and then I was never able to enter the heavenly realm again. ”
"Master, it seems that we have really formed a fate that is rare in 10,000 years." Ruan Xingyan heard his faintly lost tone, and instantly changed the topic with a smile.
Seventeen Jun chuckled.
He felt that it was counterintuitive for her to travel through thousands of years, go against the destiny of heaven, and disturb reincarnation. But when he met and became acquainted with her, and then became a master-apprentice relationship, he took care of her.
"Master, Master, come quickly." Ruan Xingyan shouted, interrupting his meditation.
Seventeen Jun suddenly rose and fell and landed next to her, "White Tiger? ”
They were five steps away from a small white tiger with black fine stripes that was bigger than an adult cat, and they looked at each other in pairs.
"Yes, Master, it's injured, save it." Ruan Xingyan was cute when she saw this little cute thing, and she fell in love with it instantly. It's just that one of its claws is wrapped around a long vine, which seems to have been gnawed by it and tossed by it, but the vine has not been broken, but has become tighter and tighter. It lay there dying, and its pitiful little eyes made Ruan Xingyan feel that her heart and liver trembled with it.
"Little White Tiger, you can't bite us, we're here to save you." Ruan Xingyan moved small steps and slowly stretched out her hand.
The little white tiger didn't move, and didn't even raise an eyelid to look at them.
Ruan Xingyan lightly touched its head, and when she saw that its narrow eyes glanced at her lightly, she no longer gave any reaction.
"Master, help it untie the vines on its feet."
"The vine is easy to manage, but it has a lot of thorns on its body, I'm afraid it's not easy to get it."
Because they met the little white tiger on the road, the two of them took some herbs to go back to help it heal its injuries.
Ruan Xingyan watched her master pull out one thorn after another longer than her fingernails from the little white tiger, and her heart also tugged. She followed it to help it with the medicine, and looked at the little white tiger's spasmodic body that would hurt every time she pulled out the thorns, and she couldn't help but feel the same way.
When the thorns on its body were finally pulled out, the little white tiger drooped its head, but still stretched out its tongue and licked it on Seventeen Jun's hands.
"Get a good night's sleep and wake up much better." Seventeen Jun touched its head.
The little white tiger quickly closed its long narrow eyes.
"Master, is Xiaobai asleep?" Ruan Xingyan packed up the thorns and went to the yard to bury them under a tree. When I returned to the house, I saw that the little white tiger seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed. Xiaobai is the name given to it by Ruan Xingyan.
"Well, it slept. Have you been busy with your teacher for so long, are you tired? "The mortal fetus is not as good as his immortal body, and he has mana to replenish his physical strength.
Ruan Xingyan shook her head, "I'm not tired, I'm just a little hungry." ”
"Why don't you take those herbs to that person's house and get some food?" Seventeen Jun proposed.
She nodded, "Xiaobai, doesn't it matter if one of them is here?" ”
"It will sleep for at least two hours."
Ruan Xingyan and Seventeen Jun took the herbs and went to the old woman's house again.
The old woman's son had just come back, and when he saw the two of them standing not far from their house, their clothes fluttering, and their fairy appearance, Ah Zhi almost thought that he had seen a fairy.
"Brother Azhi." Ruan Xingyan was holding a bamboo basket in her hand, and when she saw Ah Zhi looking at them, she raised her hand to say hello.
Ah Zhi knew that it was the two people he saw yesterday, although they were covered in mud yesterday and their whole faces were not revealed, but they couldn't hide their transparent aura. He just couldn't figure out how such a noble person could come from such a poor country. To say that there are many nobles passing by on the official road outside Wansha Village, I have never seen nobles stop, because fifty miles away is the town. The nobles would rather stay in the town than appear in the village.
"Girl, childe, why are you here again?"
"Brother Zhi, this is the herb we picked, for you." Ruan Xingyan handed him the basket in his hand.
Ah Zhi hesitated.
"Brother Azhi, thank you for the food yesterday, these herbs are to show gratitude, there are astragalus, aconitum and wormwood, not a lot, but it is always a piece of our brother and sister's heart, and I hope you will accept it."
"Do you live nearby?" Ah Zhi always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it.
"We live in the mountains, a long way away." Ruan Xingyan said casually.
Ah Zhi couldn't doubt the sweet-smiling girl in front of her, and took the basket in her hand, "Then I'll take it, thank you." Since you've come a long way, why don't you have lunch at my house. ”
Ruan Xingyan smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
"Mother, I'm back. I'm going to cook. As soon as Ah Zhi arrived in the courtyard, he put down the bamboo basket on his back and went to the kitchen.
"I'll rest and cook again." The old woman sat at the gate and stood up when she heard Ah Zhi's voice.
"No, there are two guests here today."
"Hello mother-in-law, I'm here again."
"It's the girl from yesterday, isn't it?"
"Yes, mother-in-law. My name is Apricot, and my mother-in-law calls me Apricot. I'm going to bother you again today. My brother and sister live in the mountains and don't have anything to eat, so we come out to look for something to eat. ”
"Then let's eat at our house today. I asked Ah Zhi to kill a chicken. The old woman was a very warm-hearted person, and quickly got up to go to the kitchen.
"Mother-in-law, don't be so troublesome." She heard that the chickens were screaming for hunger, but she politely refused.
"No trouble, no trouble. Apricot girl, you wait. ”
