Chapter 5 Stealing Medicine
After a while, a giant ape with a black body walked out of the palace of ten thousand beasts, carrying a rattan basket on its back, which seemed to contain herbs. The giant ape's footsteps were like flying, a few steps and a mountain and river, like a streamer of light, heading south. Along the way, the other beings were far away, and they knew that the strength of a big demon like the giant ape was quite terrifying, and it was best not to provoke it.
The speed of the giant ape has been extremely fast, but after six or seven days, I saw a majestic mountain appear in front of me, looking at the past, I saw that the mountain was full of clouds and mist, which was also real and illusory, and the nine main peaks were as black as ink, like nine heavenly swords straight into the sky.
This giant ape is that too powerful, at this moment his eyes are like a torch, he swept over the nine peaks, suddenly rose into the air, and went straight to the highest peak. "Who broke into my Heavenly Rest Mountain?" With an angry roar, two sword lights shot out from among the clouds.
"The Ten Thousand Beasts Palace is too desperate to see Ruomu Zhenren. Tai Li dodged the two sword lights and said loudly towards the mountain peak. "Wait here, and let me tell the truth. A voice suddenly came from the clouds. Immediately, the entire Tianxi Mountain was silent, and after a while, a voice suddenly came: "The real person has invited a guest from the Ten Thousand Beasts Palace." Tai Li instantly turned into a human form, his expression was calm, and he walked towards the peak through the layers of clouds and mist.
As soon as Tai Li went to the peak, he saw that there were only a few exquisite thatched huts on the peak, and in front of the thatched hut was a middle-aged man in a cloth shirt, holding a hoe in his hand, and was weeding a medicinal field. The man didn't seem to see too much, just quietly waved the hoe in his hand.
"Dare to ask if Wakaki is here?" Tai Li couldn't help but ask. The man in front of him didn't look back, and said in a casual tone: "Haven't you already seen it?" Hearing this, he looked at the weeding man in front of him with some suspicion. Then he said to the man with a respectful expression: "Forgive the younger generation for being clumsy, and it is really ashamed to see the real person but not know it." ”
"How is the old man white?" Ruomu asked with a smile on his face. "Lao Zhenren is worried, the palace master is still in good health. He replied very quickly. At this time, Ruomu put down the medicine hoe in his hand, walked out of the medicine field with brisk steps, sat at the stone table in front of the thatched house, stretched out his hand and poured two cups of tea, and said to Tai Li: "Come all the way, if you are thirsty, let's have a cup of tea first." ”
Tai Li sat opposite Ruomu, he handed over the letter to Ruomu, Ruomu looked at the letter in his hand carefully, and asked, "What about the child?" Tai Li turned around and took Qin Mu out of the rattan basket behind him, Qin Mu was still asleep at this moment, Tai Li reached out and touched Qin Mu's chest, and then saw Qin Mu slowly open his eyes, and he looked at Ruomu with some curiosity.
Ruomu looked at Qin Mu, nodded, and said, "What a good kid." Then he said to Qin Mu: "In the future, you can help me plant medicine and hoe grass." His words were soft, but they felt non-negotiable. Hearing this, he thanked Ruomu and said, "Thank you for being a real person." Ruomu's expression was indifferent, he stretched out his hand and pulled Qin Mu to his side, and said to Tai Li: "You go back and tell your palace master, I will do my best to explain the things he explains." "In that case, then I won't bother my seniors, and I'll take my leave. Tai Li got up, said politely, and left the mountain.
Ruomu straightened up, took Qin Mu's little hand, walked straight to a thatched hut far away from the medicine field, and said, "You can live here in the future." He continued, "You are not allowed to enter the medicine field without my permission. Qin Mu nodded and said, "Mu'er remembers." ”
Qin Mu gently pushed open the small door of the thatched hut, but saw that the house was clean, and there was a straw mat spread on the side, and a wooden table was placed next to the straw mat. At this time, Ruomu looked at Qin Mu with blazing eyes, and said indifferently: "Child, it's not early today, you should be tired, rest early." Then he turned and walked into his hut.
Qin Mu entered the house and closed the door gently, he lay on the straw mat, stretched his waist, and soon fell asleep, in the dream he returned to the former hut and saw his mother again.
In the middle of the night, Qin Mu was suddenly woken up by a noise outside the house, he listened carefully, there seemed to be a lot of people outside the house, they were talking and laughing, so lively. Qin Mu couldn't help but be curious, he got up, tiptoed to the door, and looked out along the crack in the door, but he couldn't see a single figure, only countless golden lights seemed to swim in the medicinal field where Ruomu weeded during the day, as if he was playing. At this moment, a light cough suddenly came from Ruoki's house, and the countless golden lights in the medicine field disappeared in an instant, and all sounds suddenly stopped.
"I didn't expect this small medicine field to have such a scene. Qin Mu remembered the scene just now and couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, a little golden light flashed not far from the mountain peak, and Qin Mu said in his heart: "What was that just now, could it be a falling star." Qin Mu turned around and continued to lie on the straw mat and fell asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Qin Mu was awakened by a knock on the door, he quickly got up, opened the door, and saw Ruomu Zhenren standing outside the door, holding a piece of freshly roasted meat in his hand, "Qin Mu, you should be hungry too, I asked someone to roast a piece of meat for you, hurry up and eat it." Ruomu Zhenren had already placed the meat in Qin Mu's hands when he spoke.
"Zhenren, then what do you eat?" Qin Mu looked at the meat in his hand and asked Ruomu Zhenren. When Ruomu Zhenren heard this, he looked at Qin Mu and said in his heart: "It is really commendable to be able to think about others first in everything. He replied with a look of relief: "You can eat it yourself, I have already eaten it." "Oh. Qin Mu sat on the grass in front of the hut and ate it in a big gulp.
"Qin Mu, there are ninety-nine eighty-one medicinal fields here, and the herbs in each medicinal field are different, and you will be responsible for taking care of each medicinal field in the future. Wakaki Masato sat at the stone table in front of his hut and instructed while drinking tea.
"I see. Qin Mu licked the oil flowing from the corner of his mouth with his tongue, and replied cheerfully. Ruomu Zhenren nodded and said, "You are here to take care of the medicine field, I'm a little tired." Ruomu Zhenren turned around and entered his hut, leaving Qin Mu alone. Qin Mu's eyes turned, looking around into the distance, and said in his heart: "Could it be that there is no one else here except Ruomu Zhenren and himself." ”
Unconsciously, Qin Mu has been on the mountain peak for more than a month, in addition to taking care of the medicine fields every day, accompanying Ruomu Zhenren to weed each medicine field, the only thing left is to eat and sleep, Qin Mu feels very bored every day. Wakaki Majin went out three days ago, and now this huge mountain peak is left alone.
On this day, Qin Mu was sleeping in the house, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter from outside, and Qin Mu said in his heart: "Could it be that there is a medicine field doing something wrong again." "He's used to it now, and basically every day, there are all kinds of sounds coming out from the medicine field.
Qin Mu got up slowly and walked out of the hut slowly, but this time he saw a woman standing next to a medicine field in the distance, and at this time, the woman also happened to turn her head, and she also saw Qin Mu.
"Who are you, why are you here?" The woman's expression changed, and she rushed towards Qin Mu at a very fast speed. "Who are you, why haven't I seen you before?" Qin Mu's eyes rolled, looked at the other party, and asked rhetorically.
At this time, the woman had already arrived in front of Qin Mu, her beautiful eyes were wandering, her eyes were staring at Qin Mu, and she sneered: "You are here to steal herbs." Qin Mu hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "You misunderstood, I'm here to take care of the medicine field for Ruomu Zhenren. "Then where is the real person now, take me to meet him." The woman in front of her looked at Qin Mu and said seriously.
Qin Mu hurriedly said, "The real person has gone out, and it may take a few days to come back." When the woman heard this, her expression couldn't help but show a hint of joy, and she said very quickly: "Since this is the case, then you can help me with a few herbs, and when Ruomu Zhenren comes back, I will inform him." As soon as Qin Mu heard that this woman wanted to pick herbs, his expression changed, and he stopped: "Absolutely not, the real person has ordered that no one is allowed to enter the medicine field without his permission." ”
The woman ignored Qin Mu and walked straight towards the nearest medicine field. "You can't go in. Qin Mu instantly stopped in front of the woman. "You dare to stop me?" The woman stretched out her hand and slapped Qin Mu's chest, and Qin Mu's whole person suddenly fell into the medicine field.
The woman looked at Qin Mu in the medicine field and chuckled, "Now I can come in." She walked into the medicine field at great speed, reached out and picked a few herbs, and then flew away.
Qin Mu only felt that the pain in his chest was unbearable, and his internal organs were churning. He used all his strength to prop up his whole body, slowly straightened up, and dragged his steps towards the medicine field.
He stood on the edge of the medicine field, looking at the damaged herbs in the field, and he didn't know how to explain it to Wakaki Masa. He found that the damaged herbs seemed to be slowly withering, Qin Mu thought to himself that it would be a pity if these herbs withered like this, why not pick them off before they withered, so he endured the pain, picked all the herbs in the medicine field that had been smashed by himself, and put them in the corner of his hut.
Immediately, Qin Mu lay down on the straw mat again, his whole body seemed to be shattered, and his chest became more and more painful. Suddenly, Qin Mu thought, "Why don't you eat a few herbs and try it first, maybe you can alleviate your pain." Qin Mu took a herb from the corner of the wall and stuffed it into his mouth, he chewed it a few times and swallowed it, but the herb melted in his throat, and his whole body was instantly wrapped in a warm breath, and the pain in his whole body was also reduced a lot.
"It really works. Qin Mu thought of this, so he ate a few more plants before returning to the straw mat, he felt very comfortable with the warmth of his whole body, and he fell asleep unconsciously.
