Chapter Seventy-Four: A Lifetime Together (2)
Innocence stayed in my house, and Yichen actually knew that the person he was looking for was me, so he didn't say anything more when he saw that the two of us had already met.
With innocence by my side, my mood was much happier, and I was cured of my illness in a few days. So, I proposed to Yichen to go up the mountain with Wuxian to collect medicine, and the old man thought about it and readily agreed.
The collection of medicine is actually a disguise, and the "ecstasy tent" in front of the valley is full of weirdness, and the slightest mistake between me and Wuxian will follow in the footsteps of the Lord and the Orion. Therefore, I plan to avoid the "ecstasy tent" and climb out from the foothills on the north side. But the danger of Huashan is by no means imaginable by the world, and in the next time, I began to exercise my foot strength in the name of collecting medicine.
Denghua Mountain is like climbing to the sky, I climbed with my hands and feet for a day, the whole person was so tired that I fell apart, and I was stuck in the jungle and couldn't see the sky. In the end, I had to let Innocence carry me back.
"I can't escape from thisβ" I soaked in the pool, my whole body aching.
"I'll carry you on my back, that will be faster." Innocent said nonchalantly, scooping up a handful of water and sprinkling it on the head of the snow monkey beside him.
"Squeak-" The snow monkey screamed at him.
"Why does it keep following you?" I looked at the poor snow monkey and asked puzzled.
"It was saved by me when I was collecting medicine before, but I didn't expect this guy to rely on me later, and he couldn't get away."
"The snow monkey is the aura of the mountain, and it must know that you are a good person, so it is willing to follow you."
"Who knows, but after this guy came, all the medicinal herbs on the cliff were collected by him, which saved me a lot of trouble." Innocent touched the snow monkey's chin, and the little thing looked enjoyable.
"AlasβI'll have to keep climbing tomorrow before I can catch up with you and the snow monkeys!" I looked up to the sky and sighed, and sank myself into the pool.
Seeing this, Wuxian hurriedly fished me out: "Don't drown yourself. Take your time, I'm here! By the way, when are you going to make the dumb medicine that the old man said yesterday? β
"Everything is ready-made, take a water jade plant and fry it into soup and pour it down, your throat will be swollen and burned in half an hour, and if you accidentally drink too much, you will die." I leaned back and said softly, "I finally healed the former head of the hexagram, and now I have to give her dumb medicine, do you think she will hate me?" β
"It doesn't matter if she hates you or not, in two months, won't we leave!" Innocent jumped out of the pool with both hands, turned around and grabbed the snow monkey's neck, and said to me, "You should also wipe it out quickly, send the medicine away early, and come back early." β
"Okay!" I replied with a loud voice, and suddenly remembered an important matter, and hurriedly asked again, "Innocent, was your hair plucked by the sorcerer Mingyi when you came in?" β
"Oh, the old man asked me for it, and I went up the hill and pulled some curly rabbit hairs for him. What's wrong? β
Well, that's something innocent would do.
"It's okay, just ask, I'm going to change my clothes, you can go quickly!"
Water jade grass is born in the shady and damp place under the forest, the whole plant is poisonous, the strongest toxicity is its milky white bulb, if the dosage is small on weekdays, it can cure dampness and phlegm asthma, but if it is used too much, the light one burns the throat, and the heavy one dies of paralysis. The woman escaped death, but the bowl of dumb medicine could not be avoided no matter what.
I took the root of the water jade and decocted a small pot of medicine, and sent it down the mountain to the courtyard where the hexagram was exchanged.
There were already many people in the courtyard at this moment, Mrs. Wuyin was sitting in front of the hall in a blue wide-sleeved red lotus patterned deep robe, and the woman was kneeling on the ground in plain clothes. When everyone saw me coming, they all made a way, and I walked up to Mrs. Wuyin with my head down, and saluted: "The little girl came to deliver medicine on the order of the master." β
"Mingyi, this kid has broken your Dire Curse in just two months since he came, and it seems a pity to stay with Yichen. Why don't you let her learn the art of witchcraft with you? "Mrs. Wuyin's words really startled me, follow Mingyi, how is this different from seeking death?
"If your mind is not pure, you can't learn witchcraft." Ming Yi glanced at me and said coldly.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Wuyin said again: "Yan Wu, since the sorcerer said that the gods don't want to accept you, you can drink this dumb medicine and go up the mountain!" Mrs. Wuyin stretched out her hand and pointed, and I willingly brought the medicine to Yan Wu's face.
Yan Wu took the medicine and smiled at me with tears.
With a pain in my heart, I stopped her before she could raise her head and drink the jar of poison.
She looked at me with a relieved look and said softly, "That's already good." After speaking, he tilted his head and poured all the medicine into his throat.
In less than a quarter of an hour, her throat was swollen and bloody, her hands and feet began to twitch, and she was forced to say a few words that were hoarse and indistinct, and no one could understand them.
"Very good, take her up the mountain! Spread the word for me, Yan Wu and Orion will not be able to go down the mountain until they die, and if they violate, they will be executed together. β
"No!"
I helped Yan Wu to retreat, and at some point outside the house it was drizzling.
Stepping down the steps washed by the spring rain, Yan Wu leaned on my shoulder and raised her head, on the green mountain waist in the distance, the place she longed for was gently wrapped in a layer of light veil-like white rain, she bent the corner of her mouth, and a teardrop gently slipped down her wet eyelashes. survived to this day, and she finally survived to the day when she said goodbye to him.
I helped Yan Wu out of the courtyard where the hexagram was exchanged, but I saw the little boy who served Yu An and two disciples of the Xun hexagram standing in the light rain waiting for me with an umbrella. The boy motioned for the disciple behind him to carry Yan Wu up the mountain, and he pulled me to the bottom of an elm tree on the side of the road.
"Girl, are you well?" The boy asked.
"Well, I'm already healed, what about your eldest brother, his injuries are all healed?" I wanted to send Yan Wu to visit Yu An in Xun Hexagram, but I didn't expect him to send Xiao Tong to greet me first.
"Big brother is gone." The boy pursed his lips and said.
"Gone? Where did it go? When? He didn't send anyone to tell me! "I'm a little confused.
"The eldest brother set out last night, and he said that if he saw the girl, he was afraid that he would have to say something that he could not achieve. He and the girl are afraid that they will not see each other again in the future, and the water dagger was left by the eldest brother to the girl, and this dress is said to be left for the girl's sister. The boy took out a short dagger from his bosom and handed it to me, and then shoved a boxy bag into my arms. I opened the bag, and there was a pale blue brocade robe inside, and the white edge of the neck was embroidered with a faint cloud pattern with plain thread.
"What else did your eldest brother say?" I pinched the clothes in my hand, already choking a little. This parting made me sadder than the last.
Xiao Tong thought for a while, and said: "The eldest brother also asked me to tell the girl that a few days ago he taught the girl to practice the few sets of body steps, and he said that with the girl's temperament, I am afraid that it will come in handy in the future." The eldest brother also said that he was afraid that he would not be able to repay the girl in this life, and the girl only wrote down the debt first, and maybe in the future, when he went to the other world, he would be able to repay it when he was free. β
I didn't want to cry, because I felt that Yu An and I always wanted to see each other again, but after listening to Xiaotong's last words, I don't know where the tears came from, but the rain that flew diagonally under the umbrella wet my face. He is an assassin who holds his life in his hands, and I am a duckweed in the whirlpool of troubled times, and in the future, maybe I will never see him again......
