251 pills
"Grandma Xian, it's time to eat." Qi Shangyi brought the last soup into the house, and called out sideways to the fairy grandmother who had been busy in the medicine cabinet.
"Okay," Fairy Grandma replied lightly, and after Qi Shangyi arranged the dishes and chopsticks, Fairy Grandma cleaned her hands in the basin next to her and sat down at the table.
"You did it?" Grandma Xian picked up the chopsticks, looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table and said.
"Uh-huh." Qi Shangyi nodded hurriedly and sat down opposite Xian Ma, waiting to meet Xian Ma's praise.
"It's too much, do less next time." Immortal said coldly again.
Qi Shangyi suddenly shrugged his head, very disappointed.
"The taste is okay, look at your fine skin and tender meat, I didn't expect it to be quite capable." Looking at Qi Shangyi's lost appearance, the fairy raised her head and smiled lightly, Qi Shangyi immediately became energetic, and quickly picked up chopsticks to fill her already hungry stomach.
Fairy Grandma, stunned for a moment, only to feel that a person's shadow suddenly flashed in front of her.
"What's wrong?" Qi Shangyi stopped his movements, biting his chopsticks and looking at the fairy grandmother blankly, "I...... Is it too ugly to eat? ”
"No, you can eat." Grandma Xian lowered her head again and continued to eat, "Mother-in-law, I just remembered one person." ”
"Oh," Qi Shangyi nodded, continued to eat, and after eating seven or eight minutes full, seeing that the fairy grandmother put the dishes and chopsticks, Qi Shangyi also quickly stopped.
"Why don't you eat it?" Fairy asked.
"Mother-in-law, can you take me to the Demon Palace?" Qi Shangyi said as he grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the grease stains from the corners of his mouth, and looked at the fairy grandmother pleadingly. She can be sure that Immortal Grandma is definitely not an ordinary person, and she must have the ability to take herself to the Demon Palace.
"The mother-in-law said it. You can't go to the Demon Palace. Grandma Xian got up, walked to the cabinet, took a bottle of potion, walked to the back of the medicine cabinet, and continued to dispense the medicine.
"Why?" Qi Shangyi didn't give up, and hurriedly followed to the edge of the medicine cabinet again.
"The Demon Palace does not allow humans to set foot and be discovered. You're going to die. The fairy didn't even raise her head.
"I'm not afraid of death!" Qi Shangyi stood up straight, looked at the fairy with a determined look, and saw her raise her head. Looking at himself coldly, Qi Shangyi quickly lowered his head again, lowered his eyes, and shook the hand on his waist. "But I'm afraid to watch Senior Brother Shen Hai die."
"What's wrong with that friend of yours?" The fairy was stunned for a moment. It took a long time before he asked.
Qi Shangyi raised his head and shook it slightly, "I don't know, he has been unconscious, and his godfather said that he can only wake him up if he finds Fu Bing Cao, so I came to the extremely cold place." ”
"Then how did you come to the Demon Clan?" Xian Mu continued to ask.
"I didn't find it myself," Qi Shangyi hurriedly shook his head and glanced at the fairy grandmother with some hesitation. The fairy grandmother immediately knew that she must have something, so she raised her head and looked at her. Wait for her to finish.
"Actually, I was captured by the doves," Qi Shangyi said and glanced at the fairy grandmother, seeing that she nodded, she should understand, "Later, I was saved by a friend during the auction, and the human being who killed the demon clan was us." ”
Fairy Grandma glanced at Qi Shangyi in a daze, and suddenly smiled and lowered her head, "Hmph, the Phoenix Girl also reminded me to be careful, but I didn't expect my mother-in-law to bring one home." ”
"Mother-in-law, are you angry?" Qi Shangyi hurriedly looked at the fairy grandmother, a little nervous in his heart, should the fairy grandmother hand herself over to the Phoenix Girl or the Demon Army, right?
"What about your friends?" To Qi Shangyi's surprise, Immortal Grandma did not continue to ask about it, but naturally changed the subject.
"Lost." Qi Shangyi pursed his lips, "They didn't want to bring me to the Demon Pool, so I sneaked out, maybe they're looking for me everywhere now." ”
Qi Shangyi said that he felt quite guilty in his heart, he didn't know what happened to the ice cube, and he must have been very crazy when he didn't see himself.
"I'm coming!" Qi Shangyi, who was distracted, saw that Xian Mao was about to light the kerosene lamp with the fire fold, and quickly reacted, and after a little effort, a flame appeared on his fingertips, and then smiled and reached out to light the kerosene lamp in Xian Mao's hand.
"Hey, it's faster!" Qi Shangyi finished ordering, smiled, and looked at the fairy grandmother proudly, but she didn't want to, the fairy grandmother was already stunned, the hand holding the kerosene lamp was shaking all the time, and she could even see that her firelight jumping eyes were already full of tears.
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Qi Shangyi was stunned, quickly smiled, reached out to take the kerosene lamp in the hand of the fairy grandmother, and helped her out of the medicine cabinet.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law......" Qi Shangyi helped Xian Ma to sit down at the table, Xian Ma seemed to be unconscious, Qi Shangyi called several times, and Xian Ma finally reacted.
"No wonder, no wonder!" Xian Ma's hand tightly grasped Qi Shangyi's hand, but only one sentence was repeated in his mouth, Qi Shangyi became more and more puzzled, looking at Xian Ma's appearance, his heart became more and more anxious.
"Mother-in-law, what do you say? Like what? Qi Shangyi looked at the fairy grandmother worriedly and asked, really not understanding why it was like this.
"Is your mother okay?" The fairy raised her trembling hand and touched Qi Shangyi's face, then to her forehead, and then to her hair.
Qi Shangyi squatted in front of her, not daring to move, and he didn't understand what this old man was doing when he fell to the ground.
"My mother?" Hearing her ask about her mother-in-law, Qi Shangyi was stunned again, could it be that Grandma Xian and Mrs. Xiliangguo know each other?
"My mother has gone." Qi Shangyi blinked and looked up at Immortal Grandma and said, "Eleven years ago, Xiliang destroyed the country, and my mother died in the sea of fire. ”
"Dead?" The hand that the fairy grandmother put on Qi Shangyi's head snapped and slid down, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help but slide down her cheeks, just dripping on the back of Qi Shangyi's hand, with a faint warmth.
"Dead?" Xian Ma began to repeat a sentence again, Qi Shangyi didn't know what to do, so she had to stand up, go to the cabinet in the inner room to find a handkerchief, and wipe her tears for Xian Mao.
"Why did you die?" The fairy continued to chatter.
"Mother-in-law?" Qi Shangyi whispered, "Do you know my mother?" ”
"Hmm," Fairy nodded, her eyes drifting a little, "She's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen," Fairy said and glanced up at Qi Shangyi. Squeezed out a little smile, "Just like you, it's a beauty." ”
Qi Shangyi smiled faintly. didn't speak, and continued to listen to the fairy grandmother.
"I still remember that when your mother was about to get married, in Blackwater Town, you should have passed through there when you came to the Extremely Cold Land."
"Hmm." Qi Shangyi nodded slightly, "My mother is from Blackwater Town?" ”
"No," Fairy shook her head. "Your mother is a demon, a princess of the demon capital, and he is in love with your father. I'd rather break with the demon king than marry your father, but later the demon king regressed, bought a house and land in Blackstone Town, and concealed your mother's identity. Married her off. Since then, the Demon Palace has lost a beautiful and smiling princess, and Xiliang has a virtuous and gentle city lord's wife. ”
"Demons!" Qi Shangyi felt that his jaw was about to drop, the city lord's wife was actually a demon!
"This ...... This...... Really? Qi Shangyi stammered a little when he was surprised, and the news seemed to come too suddenly.
"You don't know?" Immortal Grandma looked at Qi Shangyi in surprise.
Qi Shangyi shook his head in a daze, maybe he didn't remember it, anyway, he didn't know about it, but Brother Wang didn't say anything. It is possible that Brother Wang did not know about this matter, and perhaps the City Lord's wife may not have mentioned this matter to the two brothers and sisters at all.
"It's normal, too. After all, he married without his identity, and he shouldn't have opened his mouth until the critical moment. Fairy suddenly figured it out, smiled faintly, glanced at Qi Shangyi again, and patted her hand gently, "It's not early, you go to bed early." ”
"Oh," Qi Shangyi immediately stood up, wanting to go to help the immortal grandmother, but she had already gotten up by herself.
"Don't worry about me, you rest first, mother-in-law, I'll go out to do some errands," Grandma Xian said and took her cloak, thought for a while, and took a palm-sized wooden box from the drawer of the medicine cabinet and put it into her sleeve, "You have a good rest, don't run around, I'll take you to the Demon Palace early tomorrow morning to get the ice grass." ”
"Hmm." Hearing that the fairy grandmother was willing to take her to the Demon Palace to fetch the ice grass, Qi Shangyi immediately became excited, quickly responded with a smile, and obediently went to rest.
Magic pool is also a city that never sleeps, the difference between day and night lies in the brightness and darkness of the light, at night, the light will be dimmed, although you can't see everything very clearly, but it doesn't affect walking, but the room is deliberately hung with thick gauze to isolate the light, so it will be a little darker, Qi Shangyi lit the candle on the table with fire spiritual power, raised his hand to look at it, and then sat down against the edge of the table.
My mother-in-law seems to recognize me because of this? Could it be that the fire spiritual power came from the city lord's wife and not the city lord? The lady of the city lord is the princess of the demon clan, what about the exorcism order? Is it also the lord's wife?
After Qi Shangyi left, the fairy grandmother carefully fastened her cloak, pulled up her hat, took the crutches that were chained to the side of the cabinet, and slowly went out of the door.
"Give!" Shi Yun didn't know where to pick some wild pears, so he washed them by the river and handed them to Ye Cangjue, "There is no dry food, and use this to satisfy your hunger." ”
"Thank you." Ye Cangjue looked at the pear in Shi Yun's hand and hesitated for a moment, but still took it and took a bite gently, which was a little astringent, but thinking that there was nothing else to eat, he still swallowed it hard.
"Most of the demons in the pond are such barren forests, there are no people, the biggest house is the demon palace, there are very few houses, and the places where there are demon activities are also very concentrated, mostly in the east, but the guards of the demon army there are also very strict, Xiyue is alone, he shouldn't go there."
"She always goes wherever there are many people." Obviously it was a joke about Qi Shangyi's words, but Ye Cangjue couldn't say it with a smile, and he didn't continue to eat the pear he took a bite in his hand, and looked up at the river that still couldn't see the end, "How long will it take to get out of this forest?" ”
"I don't know~" Shi Yun raised his hand to block the top of his eyes and looked, it had nothing to do with the light, it was because it was too far away, so he couldn't see it.
"Let's walk through the woods." Ye Cangjue suddenly raised his head and pointed to the left.
"Why?" Shi Yun hurriedly asked, although there is no end in sight, it is my own path, so I have to finish it.
"Intuition." Ye Cangjue dropped two words and a pear that he only took a bite of, then raised his foot and changed directions, Shi Yun complained indignantly, and hurriedly caught up with him.
"If you don't take a good road, you have to pass through this forest, do you know that the forest of the Magic Pond is alive, and it is said that these trees can be moved, and if you don't get it right, you will get lost." Shi Yun chattered endlessly behind Ye Cangjue, Ye Cangjue's thin lips were closed, he didn't say a word, and continued to walk forward, knee-high bushes and thorny vines made it not very easy to move forward, but Ye Cangjue did not stop.
"Well, I'll believe you once!" Shi Yun was probably tired of chattering, and said helplessly, lifting the hem of his clothes and tearing off the vines hanging on his clothes.
"Immortal." The Phoenix Girl was puzzled when she heard the sound of crutches hitting the ground from outside the door, but she still got up and went outside the door.
"Why don't you light the lights?" The fairy lady ignored the etiquette of the phoenix girl, frowned and glanced at the palace that was very dark because of the closure, and looked back at the ugly phoenix girl, and instantly knew whose order it was.
"This is medicine for your mother, you can keep it." The fairy grandmother took out the wooden box from her sleeve, "One pill every two days, don't take more." ”
"Yes." The phoenix girl replied softly, and the hand that took the wooden box trembled slightly.
The fairy didn't look at her again, and the gentle knocking sound spread out in the gray night, all the way to the west, the phoenix girl knew that she was going to find her father, otherwise, at such a late hour, the fairy grandmother would not be willing to enter the palace, although she didn't know what it was, but the phoenix girl faintly noticed in her heart that this thing must have something to do with the smell in the fairy girl's house.
"Ahem~" There was a coughing sound in the room, and the phoenix girl quickly came back to her senses, pinched the wooden box in her hand, and turned around and entered the hall.
The temple was a little dark because of the father's request, and the lights were not allowed, but fortunately, the mother's bed was against the window, and the light that came in was just enough to cover the whole bed.
"Mother!" The phoenix girl walked over and picked up her mother, who was coughing and panting on the edge of the bed, although it was very dark, but a trace of dark color could still be seen in the spittoon, and the phoenix girl frowned.
"Mother, I've taken the medicine." After helping her mother to sit down, the phoenix girl quickly took a pill out of the wooden box and sent it to her mother's mouth along with the tea bowl.
The mother did not hesitate, opened her mouth and swallowed the pill, her breathing was a little easier, and after slowing down, the mother opened her mouth: "Has the fairy grandmother been here?" ”
"Hmm." Huang Nu nodded, put the tea bowl back, opened the wooden box in her hand and took a look, and couldn't help but be happy, "Hey, there are three more!" The mother can be less uncomfortable for several days. ”
In the past, there were only ten pills sent by the fairy grandmother, one pill every two days, so there were always a few days when the mother did not have anything to eat, so the unstoppable cough echoed in the hall every day, and today there were twelve in this box, although I don't know why, but the phoenix girl still felt that this was also related to the human smell in the fairy mother's house.
