Mo Chapter 4
"I... Where am I?"
Sun Luyuan woke up slowly, his head hurt. She rubbed her forehead, struggled to sit up from the bed, surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings, and muttered.
"You're awake"
The old and peaceful voice sounded in Sun Luyuan's ears, and she followed the voice, and an old woman with white hair and white clothes walked in at the door. This appearance, this dress, has a bit of a sense of not eating the fireworks of the world.
Sun Luyuan looked at her and was stunned.
The old woman walked to the bed, and the bowl of bitter decoction in her hand dragged Sun Luyuan's wandering soul back.
Sun Luyuan wrinkled his nose, subconsciously covered his nose with his hand and moved into the bed, feeling afraid of the decoction in the old woman's hand.
"Mother-in-law, are you an immortal? I... I'm not dead. As he spoke, there was a hint of loneliness in his eyes.
The old woman didn't expect Sun Luyuan's first sentence to be this, and she was slightly stunned. However, then she smiled kindly, and said gently, "Little girl, your idea is quite novel." I'm not an immortal. You didn't die either. ”
"That's... So here is it? ”
Sun Lu Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief that she didn't die, obviously making her mood much happier. A bright smile appeared on his face, and his tone of voice became relaxed.
"Taoyuan Village"
"Taoyuan Village, Taoyuan Village" Sun Luyuan tilted his head, thought about it, and always felt that he had heard this name somewhere.
The old woman did not rush her, but sat on the edge of the bed, smiling, and looking at her with some doting.
"Oh, I remember." Sun Luyuan's eyes lit up, and she was excited, and she actually pulled the wound in her abdomen, and she gasped in pain.
"It's okay"
"It's okay"
"Don't move, I'll see"
The old woman leaned over and untied Sun Luyuan's clothes, and the white cloth covering the wound on her abdomen did not ooze blood.
"Fortunately, the wound in your abdomen is not deep, and the range of movement is not large, so you didn't let the wound collapse." The old woman gently helped Sun Luyuan tie his clothes and sat back on the edge of the bed.
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law. I remember. My grandfather used to be afraid that I would be bored, so he would tell me some strange things about the outside. He loves wine, so he once told me that the peach blossom brewing style in Taoyuan Village, Wuli outside the city, is a must. ”
"But that's not right, I obviously remember that I fainted by the river in the city, how did I end up in Taoyuan Village outside the city."
"Yes, it's that person. Before I fainted, I remembered that a teenager had caught me. It's him, he's the one who sent me, isn't he? ”
"Mother-in-law, do you know who he is? I want to meet him. ”
The old woman wanted to say that she didn't know, but when she saw Sun Luyuan's expectant eyes, she swallowed back the words that came to her mouth.
The old woman's desire to speak stopped being noticed by Sun Luyuan, she sighed, and said a little lost, "It seems that mother-in-law, you don't know who it is." ”
"I don't really know who it is, but I found this where you fainted."
The old woman put the medicine bowl in her hand on the table next to the bed, took out a white jade pendant in the shape of a crescent moon from her cuff, and handed it to Sun Luyuan.
This jade pendant was originally left to her by Feng Nannian, since he didn't want Sun Luyuan to know his identity so early, then she left the jade pendant to Sun Luyuan, a girl, and let her check it herself slowly. After all, few people know the origin of this jade pendant, so this girl will not be able to find it at all for a while, so she should leave a thought.
"This is ....." Sun Luyuan took the jade pendant and asked suspiciously.
"This one was found next to you, if it's not yours, then it can only be the one who saved you."
"Although I don't know who saved you, there are traces of this jade pendant."
"Mother-in-law, you're right. With this jade pendant, I will find him sooner or later. ”
"My grandfather said that if you give it a peach, you will repay it with a plum. The saving grace cannot be forgotten. ”
"Your grandfather taught you well, but," the old woman quipped, "if one day you find your savior, how will you repay him?" ”
"I heard that this folk has the grace of saving lives, so I should promise it with my body."
"Huh?"
Sun Luyuan's big eyes were full of doubts, and he pondered for a while before he realized that his mother-in-law was joking with her. The little face was flushed, and he was a little annoyed and angry and said "mother-in-law"
"Alright. This medicine is almost cold, you drink it. The old woman picked up the medicine bowl beside the bed, stirred it, and handed it to Sun Luyuan.
Sun Luyuan looked at the bowl of black medicine, recalled its bitter smell, and was a little stunned. She has been afraid of taking medicine since she was a child, and basically eats half a bowl and spits up half a bowl every time. That feeling cast a shadow over her. Therefore, he did not take the medicine bowl from the old woman's hand for a long time.
"You're afraid of suffering"
Sun Luyuan nodded.
"Even if you are afraid of hardship, you have to eat it. None of the wounds on your body are fatal, but the poison that has been quenched on your sword is the only medicine that can cure it. ”
Sun Luyuan glanced at the black decoction again, with a hesitant expression on his face, it seemed that he was struggling fiercely in his heart.
Seeing Sun Luyuan's expression, the old woman smiled helplessly. I wanted to tell her that this medicine smells bitter, and the taste is sweet. But after thinking about it, Sun Luyuan is a child after all, different from adults. Therefore, the words that come to the mouth become "You wait a minute." ”
The old woman got up and walked to the table by the window, where there were all kinds of bottles and jars, and took a deep sniff of the aroma of herbs. She searched for something, and finally her eyes landed on a wooden locket. Open it and remove a piece of sugar wrapped in paper from inside.
"With it, you shouldn't be afraid of hardship."
The old woman's behavior reminded Sun Luyuan of her mother-in-law, every time she couldn't take the medicine in the past, her mother-in-law would coax her with a candied fruit, saying what her mother-in-law had just said.
Her eyes were slightly red, and her mother should have died in a hurry when she found out that she was gone. Thinking of this, she picked up the medicine bowl beside the bed and drank it all in one go. Licking his lips, it didn't seem to be as unpleasant as he imagined, with a hint of sweetness in the bitterness.
The old woman handed the sugar cube to Sun Luyuan at the right time, and she took the sugar cube and put it in her mouth.
"Mother-in-law, Yuan'er will definitely repay you for your life-saving grace. But now, I have one more thing to ask for. That is, could you please have someone deliver a letter to the Sun Mansion and tell them that I am here. ”
"I snuck out. I guess my grandfather and they have found out that I am missing, and they must be very anxious. Give them a message so they can rest assured. ”
"Don't worry about this, I have already sent someone to deliver the news to the Sun Mansion. Now, they should be on their way here. ”
"Huh? Mother-in-law, do you know me? Sun Luyuan shrank into the bed, his tone was calm, but his eyes were full of vigilance.
"You don't have to be nervous, you don't have to be surprised. I am an old acquaintance of your grandfather. Besides," the old woman smiled faintly, and continued, "If I had the intention of harming you, you would have been..."
Sun Luyuan followed the old woman's line of sight, and the empty medicine bowl next to the bed ,......
"Mother-in-law, I'm ....." Sun Luyuan was embarrassed at this time, and his face was as red as an apple again. Her mother-in-law was kind enough to save her, but she suspected that her mother-in-law had ulterior motives. This is a bit of a dog biting Lu Dongbin who doesn't know the hearts of good people.
She rubbed against the side of the bed, trying to apologize to her mother-in-law. But I didn't know how to speak for a long time.
But the old woman spoke ahead and relieved her. "It doesn't matter. You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people. You did very well. ”
"Mother-in-law, I.... Thank you. ”
"Alright. Your body is not fully recovered, lie down and rest. When your grandfather comes, I will wake you up. ”
"Thank you"
"Hmm" the old woman nodded, picked up the empty bowl by the bed, and left the room.
Perhaps because of drinking the bowl of medicine, not long after the old woman left, Sun Luyuan's upper eyelids and lower eyelids fought, and he fell asleep deeply.
