101 Get back on your feet
"Qiu Xiaobei!"
"It's useless for you to murder me, no matter how fierce you are, I will go."
After saying this angrily, Qiu Xiaobei softened: "Your Highness, Shen Xi, if you are worried about me, you should know, I am also worried about you, no matter what happens to you when you go to Buying Mountain by yourself, or if you can't get back the Heart Lantern Fruit, it will be a blow to me, you are afraid that I have three longs and two shorts, I am even more afraid, if you really care about me, you should be by my side, all the time, all the time, by my side, alive, touchable!" ”
"I know, I know." Fan Shenxi pressed his hands behind her ears, "But I also have to look at your situation, you can't even walk, how can you go?" ”
Qiu Xiaobei gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "It's a big deal, I was born there!" ”
Fan Shenxi: "......"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince finally decided to bring Qiu Xiaobei with him.
Half of them are indeed Qiu Xiaobei himself who is too insistent, if he insists on letting her stay, who knows if she will drive out the things that she secretly followed.
The remaining half is that he really doesn't feel at ease about putting her in the camp, even if he sends more people to protect her, he can't see it and can't feel at ease, but the two of them have this in common.
He told He Zheng and Wang Gao that the miasma of Buying Mountain is always a hidden danger, and it is too unfavorable for Dafan, and it can be used as a protective barrier for the Bauhinia Kingdom, which is equivalent to opening the gateway of Dafan to the Bauhinia Kingdom, and this time the Zijun Army was repulsed, and the same thing will happen again next time.
So he decided to personally investigate Buying Mountain to see if he could find a solution to the miasma inside, and Qiu Xiaobei, as a pharmaceutical master, would definitely not work without her, but she was also a pregnant woman, so Lin Ziyi, the imperial doctor, naturally had to follow just in case.
The two generals are naturally opposed, the miasma of Buyingshan should indeed be solved, but why should the pregnant woman be brought at this time, is it necessary to be in such a hurry?
Besides, it is completely possible to send other people there, why should the prince go himself?
Fan Shenxi only said a word to He Zheng in private, and He Zheng not only did not object anymore, but also helped him cover up.
Fan Shenxi said to him: Before the queen mother was alive, one of the things she asked the palace to do was to enter the mountain.
He Zheng's respect for Marshal Ling was naturally obedient to everything, and he didn't tell him the real reason, because he was afraid that if there was no result, it would be in vain.
……
"Can you hold on?"
Qiu Xiaobei clutched his stomach and shook his head: "I'm in a wheelchair with you, what can I do." "The shadow guards who helped her and Fan Shenxi push wheelchairs are hard.
Fan Shenxi insisted: "If you want to be uncomfortable, you must say it." ”
The mountain road is rugged, even if you are pushed in a wheelchair, you will occasionally be carried up and walked, but it will still be bumpy, for the well-trained shadow guard, it is not very difficult to carry a person on the mountain road, but for a woman with a big belly of more than seven months, it will really be harder than the shadow guard.
This time, he brought a few personal guards, and shadow guards disguised as personal guards, as well as shadow guards hidden in the shadows, Ling Mojue was left in the army by him just in case there was a response, Jing'an didn't know martial arts, and he didn't let her follow.
The one who explored the way back in front came back: "Your Highness, the front is about to enter the range of miasma." ”
Hearing this, Qiu Xiaobei took out the anti-poison pill that had been prepared a long time ago, which had been carefully improved and had a greater effect, but the number was very small and could not be put into the battlefield, and now there are just a few of them, it is enough.
From afar, the naked eye can see that the forest in front of is shrouded in smoke, and only the hazy shadows of the trees can be seen, which is daunting that the smoke is green, faintly and viscous, which makes people uncomfortable at a glance, and as it gets closer and closer, the insects and birds that originally sounded around are becoming less and less, and when they can touch the green smoke, the surroundings are already quiet.
Really walk into the miasma, only to know what is called hazy, no matter how big your eyes are, you can't see the surrounding environment clearly, sometimes you look at a tree in front of you, want to avoid, but still misestimate the position of the tree and bump into it.
The more serious problem is that in this, they are completely unable to distinguish the direction, and the sun seems to never shine in, and it is impossible to rely on this to determine the direction, and the branches are all growing in disorder.
Fortunately, Qiu Xiaobei was able to recognize some plants that liked to grow south, and he barely had a way forward.
They groped in the forest for two days, and finally reached the top and came to the legendary valley of Buying Mountain.
It was a deep ditch that split the top of the mountain in half, and the green smoke was still wafting around, but a strong wind could still be felt howling, and the feeling that the wind could be blown down at any moment was definitely not an illusion beside the ravine.
And the heart lamp fruit they want is on the cliff wall under the ditch.
As soon as Qiu Xiaobei saw the only red fruit among the few green leaves, his joy overflowed: "That's it, that's it, quick, let me go down...... Not! ”
Her ears were pinched by Fan Shenxi: "What did you just say, do you want to go down?" You tell me, how do you want to go down? ”
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I didn't mean that, honey, can you let go first, let's have a good talk?"
Fan Shenxi snorted before reluctantly letting go of his hand.
Qiu Xiaobei rubbed his ears, looked at the man with a still bad face, and said cautiously: "It's useless for you to let others go down, they don't know how to pick it, I'm not worried...... Listen to me, I have such a big belly, how can I climb down by myself! ”
Seeing him take his hand back, she talked about her plan, which was to fix herself and the wheelchair with a rope, and then tie a few thick ropes to the wheelchair, and the guards grabbed the rope and slowly lowered her.
Fan Shen was angry again, and when she was stubborn, she couldn't do anything about her, so she had to agree, but there was another shadow guard who went down with her, protecting and answering at any time.
The wheelchair was slowly lowered down, and there was a shadow guard with a rope wrapped around his waist on the back, and Qiu Xiaobei dropped at the same speed, the further down, the stronger the wind, the weight of the wheelchair was not light, and it was still swayed by the wind, even if his body was firmly fixed to the wheelchair by the rope, Qiu Xiaobei still firmly grasped the handrail in fright, did not dare to look down, and had to endure dizziness.
Due to the influence of strong winds, the wheelchair descended quickly and slowly, and occasionally stopped, and it took a while to come to the position where the heart light fruit grew.
The shadow guard at the back pulled the rope and fixed the wheelchair as much as possible to stop shaking, so that Qiu Xiaobei could pick the heart lamp fruit.
Qiu Xiaobei pressed his chest and pressed down the agitation in his chest.
This is the last medicine, after getting it, you can start making Fan Shenxi's antidote, and she can't help but be excited at the thought that she can finally remove the poison from his body and make him truly healthy, and can let him get out of his wheelchair and stand up as a normal person.
After exhaling a few times to calm himself down, he took out the silver gloves that he had prepared a long time ago and put them on, and then stretched them out towards the Heart Light Fruit.
But at this moment, there was a "hissing" sound, and at a glance, a colorful poisonous snake actually came out of the stone crack next to the heart lamp fruit!
"Madame, be careful!" The Shadow Guard shouted nervously, grabbed the wheelchair, and grabbed it all in the way.
But Qiu Xiaobei raised his hand and asked him to calm down.
It was something she had expected that there were fierce animals guarding around Lingzhi, and the Heavenly Mourning Leaves were all growing next to the corpses of the powerful ghosts, if it weren't for the fact that Concubine Li didn't want to do anything to her, it would not be easy for her to get the Heavenly Mourning Leaves.
Don't look at the snake in front of her as the thickness of a toddler's arm, but she assures that the lion and tiger here are no match for the bite of it.
Fortunately, she was prepared.
Then she took out a small medicine jar, opened her head, dug two fingers of ointment from it, and in the case of trying not to anger the poisonous snake, under the cold gaze of the poisonous snake, she smeared the ointment on the wall next to the poisonous snake, and then withdrew her hand and stared closely at the movement of the poisonous snake.
The poisonous snake was reserved for a while, or slowly swam towards the ointment, the snake body coiled the ointment, the snake hyacinth probed, first touched the ointment, and then licked it seriously, and ate the ointment in a few moments, and then raised the snake's head, in those cold eyes, you can see the meaning of urgency and enthusiasm, and the tip of the tail wagged.
Qiu Xiaobei smiled, also breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to apply the ointment to the wall.
Relieved, there was also the shadow guard, who was behind her to protect her, and the upper looked nervously below, but Fan Shenxi was still frowning, as long as she didn't come up, he couldn't be relieved.
The poisonous snake licked most of the ointment, and suddenly shook the snake's head as if it was drunk, and then it was even more dangling when it moved, although the snake was also S-shaped when it swam, but it obviously felt that it was wrong, and it almost fell off the wall several times.
But the strange thing is that even so, the poisonous snake's gaze at Qiu Xiaobei softened, and when Qiu Xiaobei stretched out his hand towards it, its snake head still rubbed against Qiu Xiaobei's fingers, and then slowly climbed into the hole in the wall that came out before.
At this time, Qiu Xiaobei stretched out his hand to the Heart Lantern Fruit again.
In the wrap of several leaves, the red fruit is like a red lantern, so red that you feel if it is bubbling red. Qiu Xiaobei gently wrapped the layer of leaves closest to the fruit and picked the fruit with some force, but the leaves on the bottom were still there.
After wrapping the fruit in an airtight layer of leaves, he put it in the prepared box, deducted a few stones from around the stone wall where the heart lamp fruit was grown, and placed them next to the fruit in the box, and then closed the box, moved the rope, and signaled that the top could pull her and the shadow guard up.
After another frightening shaking in the air, he finally returned to the peak, and after his feet could finally land, if his stomach was not there, Qiu Xiaobei would probably have jumped into Fan Shenxi's arms.
"Your Highness, Your Highness...... "I can finally save you!"
Fan Shenxi held her hand back, and then found that each other's hands were cold and frightened, but because they were holding together, they slowly warmed up together.
"It's not good to stay here for a long time," Fan Shenxi said with his sanity, "Let's get out of here first." ”
"Your antidote must be made immediately, but there must be many people eyeing you, it is better to be in the Buying Mountain, at least the miasma here, even the people of the Bauhinia Country will not come in casually." Qiu Xiaobei proposed.
Youyingwei said: "But we can't stay in this miasma for too long, right?" "They don't care about themselves, they should die for their master, but their masters, like them, can't really be immune to this miasma.
"Don't worry, we'll just find the center of the miasma." Because it was impossible for the Heart Lantern Fruit she was looking for before to be in the center of the miasma, she didn't mention this, and only thought about finding the Heart Lantern Fruit.
Qiu Xiaobei pointed in a direction, and her and Fan Shenxi's wheelchairs were pushed up again.
She turned her head sideways to look at Fan Shenxi, and it happened that he also looked at her, she was still unable to calm down because she had found the last medicine, and she seemed a little excited, but as a party to the party, he didn't seem to feel anything about it, if there was anything, it was also dissatisfaction with her repeated dangers, and worry about her tiredness.
"I'll be able to heal you soon, aren't you happy?"
"Happy." He looked at her and chuckled, "Of course I'm happy." ”
If it can really be cured, if he doesn't have to be this waste person anymore, he will be able to protect her personally in the future, and he will not let her hold her belly for almost eight months, and she will have to do such a difficult thing.
The center of the miasma is a lake in the mountains, without any pollution, the water is crystal clear, reflecting the shadows of the green trees next to it, the green smoke does not impregnate here, but forms a green "gauze" circle two or three feet outside the lake, and it becomes an extraordinary scenery.
"All things are mutually reinforcing, it stands to reason that the center of the miasma should be the place where the poisonous gas is the heaviest, but the extreme of things must be reversed, and there must be plants that can completely restrain the poison of the miasma, so that the center of the miasma forms a space to isolate the miasma." Qiu Xiaobei looked around and was quite satisfied, "We'll stay here for a few days, and when the poison on His Highness's body is resolved, we'll leave." ”
The shadow guards had no opinion, and soon set up two tents next to the lake, one for rest, and the other for Qiu Xiaobei's medicine, and they could find a place to nest.
There is no wind in this place, and the lake water even carries warm heat, so I am not afraid of getting cold at all.
After that, they added firewood to boil the water, took out dry food, and after everyone was full of food and drink, Qiu Xiaobei wanted to start making the antidote immediately, but was forced by Fan Shenxi to go back to the tent where she was resting and let her sleep.
"I know you're anxious, but if you're not in good spirits, and you get twice the result with half the effort, those medicinal materials are all you worked hard to get, and they can all be called unique products, if you make a mistake because of your mental negligence, it's still you who regret it."
Qiu Xiaobei thought about it and felt that this was the reason, so he felt that he should rest and recuperate his spirit.
I thought I would not be able to sleep, I just wanted to close my eyes, but they had been in the Buying Mountain for two or three days, who could have a good rest in that miasma, in addition to whether the heart could find the heart light fruit, but also beware of when the poison avoidance pill expired, what to do if everyone died in their sleep, her spirit has always been highly concentrated.
This will be a relatively safe place, the heart light fruit is also there, the string suddenly relaxed, her exhaustion even she didn't know herself, nestled in Fan Shenxi's arms, and it didn't take long for her to fall into a deep sleep.
By the time she woke up, it was already the next morning, and if it weren't for Fan Shenxi's fear that she would wake her up from starvation after sleeping for too long, she would probably have slept longer.
However, although she was woken up in advance, from yesterday afternoon to this morning, she swept away the previous fatigue, and after eating breakfast in good spirits, she walked twice along the beautiful lake to eat, and then gave instructions to Fan Shenxi and the shadow guards, and then entered another tent for medicine.
The tent has been arranged very comfortably, after Qiu Xiaobei sat down, there were pillows on his chest and back, and then he put out the spirit plant boxes such as heart lamp fruits, heavenly mourning leaves, etc., and there was also a small stove, which was very delicate, a little smaller than ordinary pots, but it was enough to slowly boil and stir-fry the medicinal materials that were not much.
She lit the small stove, looked at the flames, and took a deep breath......
……
The quiet water of the lake, as if it could not feel the passage of time, suddenly a stone was thrown in, which made the lake ripple.
As one stone fell, more and more stones fell, and the lake could not be calm for a long time.
Qiu Xiaobei angrily smashed all the stones she could catch, and only kicked her feet with a hum when she couldn't find it again, but because she was bloated, she even did this action very funny.
After venting, she was also a little more comfortable, she carefully held her stomach and lay down, looking at the green branches and leaves above that blocked the sun, and sighed softly.
Seven days have passed since she made the antidote and gave it to Fan Shenxi.
I still remember that not long after Fan Shenxi took the antidote, he began to cramp all over his body, even if he endured it hard, he would still twitch from time to time, it could be seen that he was very painful, the medicinal properties of the antidote were fighting for territory with the poison that had been entrenched in his body for a long time, and the most painful thing was naturally the owner of his body, he was so painful that his muscles burst out, and his teeth were clenched, but he still tried to pretend to be okay to comfort her, even in the end, he didn't shout, but talked and laughed with her.
Until he finally passed out, his clothes were soaked, and his body was covered with a layer of black dirt.
Qiu Xiaobei wiped away his tears, asked the shadow guard to bring water from the lake, and cleaned him himself.
She was so distressed that she could take his pulse again, and after making sure that the poison that might kill him at any time was really resolved, she still couldn't help but hug him soaked in water and cried herself.
He opened his eyes, smiled and rubbed her head: "What are you crying about, let me sleep for a while and I won't be at peace, don't cry." ”
"You're so dirty, so hard to wash, and you're not allowed to cry?"
Fan Shenxi smiled so badly that he covered her ear and said, "Then next time I'll help you wash it?" ”
She snorted and punched him in the chest, it was a real hammer, and he took her hand and laughed, and there was less gloom and more spaciousness in that laughter, which shook her into him.
Everything was fine so far, but the next day, Fan Shenxi began to avoid her.
When she woke up in the morning, he was definitely gone, and there were two fewer shadow guards, and when she was in a hurry to find them, the shadow guards told her that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had asked her to have a good rest in the past few days, and he would come back when he went around, with her characteristic antidote pill on his body, so that she didn't have to worry.
On the first day, she thought he wanted to check the place, so she went with him, and she couldn't follow her with a stomach, but she waited until the evening, and it was seven days in a row.
When he came back, he must have washed it, and his body was dry and had no other smell, but it was suspicious, wasn't it?
Where did he go for seven days, what did he do before he came back to see her after washing, why did he go early in the morning until it was dark, and there was a miasma in the vicinity, what could he do?
When she asked him, he always changed the subject with a smile, teasing her so badly that he forgot to ask him about it.
Probably a woman is like this, even if she believes him in her heart, she will still think about everything, wonder if he is going to do something dangerous, think about what he is planning, and even think, there will be no spirits in this mountain to confuse him, right?
Of course, the latter was really just a sudden whim, and she herself thought it was impossible.
But I still want to know what he did.
Biting her lower lip and thinking about a bad idea, she patted her ass and got up and went to the pharmacy.
The next morning, Fan Shenxi got up before dawn, as soon as he left, Qiu Xiaobei opened his eyes, and the smoke that had been used was sacrificed again, and the shadow guard guarding her had a moment of swaying, and she took this opportunity to follow secretly.
"Your Highness......"
"Don't worry about Hongu."
Hearing Fan Shenxi's heavy voice from afar, Qiu Xiaobei walked a few steps quickly, hid next to a big tree, and saw Fan Shenxi leaning on himself and getting up from his wheelchair.
He has been in a wheelchair for nearly two years, and even if he can stand up after the poison is detoxified, his physical functions do not allow him to recover immediately, and it requires a long rehabilitation process, and the process is very hard.
Obviously, Fan Shenxi spent a lot of effort in the first seven days, so that he could stand up steadily on his own today, his face was full of perseverance, and he stood in place for a long time before he could take the first step, his body shook, but he still stood firm on his own, and the two shadow guards next to him stretched out their hands and put them down.
After Fan Shenxi settled down, he continued to take a step forward, like a child who had just learned to walk, and every step had to use a lot of strength.
He took five steps at a very slow pace, trying to speed up a little, and the next moment he fell to the ground.
The shadow guard tried to help, but he refused, and he stood up again on his own, and continued to repeat the previous action, sweat dripping and his temples wet.
Qiu Xiaobei turned his back against the trunk of the tree, biting his fingers hard to block his mouth, and the distress that wanted to vent out.
She closed her eyes, and she seemed to be able to hear Fan's heavy gasps, she opened her mouth and gasped silently, and then quietly left the place and returned to the lake.
"Madame, where have you been?"
The shadow guard saw her come back and ran over in a hurry, there was a master who was good at medicine and stunned the people around him at every turn, it was really an extremely fucking thing.
"I'll just just go around, take a walk, nothing." Qiu Xiaobei propped up his waist, casually stopped at them, and went back to the tent by himself.
She sat in it for a long time, and the shadow guard called her to wake up when she was eating, and opened the curtain to take the food that the shadow guard handed her, all of which were dry food.
She frowned.
