Chapter 6: Dragon and Phoenix Village
A few days passed.
Xiangxiang's mother, who was lying on the bed in the thatched house, became ill, and Xiangxiang and Su Yang asked the doctor anxiously on the side.
"Doctor, how is my wife's health?
"Boss Su, Madame's illness can't be delayed now, I'm afraid it won't last a few days if it goes on like this, didn't the old man ask you to take that goldfish home to treat Madame? It should be the day before yesterday to bring it back to Madame for treatment, hurry up, go and get the fish back" The white-haired old man said.
"This ...... That's the case, doctor, we gave the fish to others, and it was also to save people, so now let's see if there is any other way?" Su Yang said helplessly.
"What? You gave away the fish, alas, all the medicine in hand is gone, or it is all to save people, and the old man will help you again, but there is one way, and this method is difficult for ordinary people to do," said the doctor.
"Doctor, if you have any way, just say it, as long as you can save my mother, I am willing to give up my life" Xiangxiang looked anxious, she actually felt guilty and died of guilt in her heart.
"In Longfeng Village, our Dingdu City, there is a big mountain in the village, and there is a big peach tree growing on the top of the mountain, and I heard from the people in the village that this tree has only grown one peach from a thousand years ago to the present, and if you can bring that peach back to Mrs. to eat, I believe that Mrs. can be cured of this long-term cold," the doctor said.
"Dad, then I'll go and get that peach back now, so that my mother can be fine" Xiangxiang was overjoyed when she heard that there was this way.
The doctor continued, "But...... This peach is not so easy to get, otherwise after a thousand years, it would have been taken away by someone, the peach tree has a monster guarding it all the year round, for many years, many people want to take that peach for themselves, but there is no return......"
"Aren't the people in that village afraid of monsters?" asked Xiangxiang
"Strange to say, the monster only deals with people who want to get peaches, and the villagers have always thought that the monster is a sacred beast that guards the village," said the doctor.
"Dad, then I'll go now"
"Xiangxiang, didn't you hear what the doctor said? everyone who went to get peaches went and didn't return, how could my father bear to let you die in vain," Su Yang grabbed Xiangxiang who was about to go out and said.
"Dad, my mother's body is all because of me, since I was born to the present, my mother's body is getting worse and worse day by day, you let your daughter go, if your mother has any three long and two short, her daughter will blame herself for the rest of her life......"
Su Yang knew Xiangxiang's character, although there were thousands of people in his heart who didn't want her to go, but after thinking about it, he let go of his hand, and kept praying for his daughter in his heart.
When Xiangxiang passed by the door, she didn't notice that there was a teenager hiding in the corner.
It turned out that Wusheng had been very upset since he knew that Xiangxiang had given the fish to him, and he felt very guilty when he thought of what he said to Xiangxiang that day, so he wanted to apologize in person today, but he didn't expect that when he came to Xiangxiang's door, he heard their conversation with the doctor, and only then did he know that Xiangxiang was so excited that day, because the fish was also going to be given to Xiangxiang's mother for treatment, but he still gave it to himself, and he felt even more guilty in his heart. Of course, Wusheng also heard that Xiangxiang was going to Longfeng Village, and after Xiangxiang ran out, Wusheng had been secretly following Xiangxiang.
An hour later......
Xiangxiang came to Longfeng Village, and didn't have time to ask the people in the village, so she wanted to go up the mountain directly, only to find out at the foot of the mountain that no one should have been on the mountain all year round, and there was no road, Xiangxiang could only get a way out by herself, and when Xiangxiang stumbled into the halfway up the mountain, Xiangxiang's body was already covered with scaly wounds, including falls, cuts, stabs, and bruises......
Slowly half an hour passed, Xiangxiang came to the top of the mountain, thought that it had finally arrived, sighed, looked around, only to find that the original top of the mountain and the bottom of the mountain are completely different, the top of the mountain has a large lawn, there are all kinds of flowers on the lawn, there is a big peach tree in the middle of the lawn, occasionally there is the cry of cranes, and then look down, the whole village can be seen, it turns out that this dragon and phoenix village is formed around this mountain, standing on the top of the mountain, feeling that the sky is above their heads, reaching out as if they can touch the clouds, calm down, here is like a fairyland。
Xiangxiang continued to walk towards the peach tree, and when she was about to arrive, she found that the peach tree was very large, and there was a thatched house under the peach tree, and she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Didn't you say that no one had come up for a long time, why didn't this thatched house look dilapidated?"
Just as Xiangxiang was puzzled, a voice suddenly appeared. The sound was like a tiger, but if you listen closely, it doesn't look like much.
Although Xiangxiang was very scared in her heart, she couldn't back down, and she didn't think much about it, and still approached the peach tree.
Suddenly, a tiger appeared in front of Xiangxiang, saying that it was a tiger, but it had a pair of wings and stared at Xiangxiang viciously.
"I just want to take that peach home to save my mother, no offense, please don't be surprised" Xiangxiang nervously pointed to the peach on the top of the peach tree and said.
The tiger screamed again, as if the whole mountain was shaking.
The tiger bared its teeth and pounced on Xiangxiang.
At this time, Wusheng, who happened to rush over, quickly threw Xiangxiang to the ground, and only then did he dodge the tiger's blow.
"Little girl, look, it's me at the critical time
Come to save you, see if you dare to be so fierce to me in the future," Wusheng said with a wicked smile.
"You...... Why are you here?" asked Xiangxiang.
"Uh...... This, you don't have to worry about it, anyway, you just need to remember that I saved your life" After speaking, Wusheng instantly looked at the tiger with a solemn expression.
"Hey, you...... You can't get up yet," Xiangxiang said loudly, patting Wusheng.
Wusheng reacted at this time, he was still pressing Xiangxiang under him, and his face flushed instantly, and he turned over and left Xiangxiang.
Wusheng and Xiangxiang both stood up and looked at the tiger. The tiger seemed to be frozen in place.
Just as the two of them were carefully preparing to steal the peaches, the tiger suddenly pounced again, fortunately, Wusheng had practiced some kung fu with his master since he was a child, and his increasingly powerful internal force allowed the two to dodge the tiger's attack again, but Wusheng's arm was scratched by the tiger.
Wusheng looked at the tiger nervously, thinking that although he had been practicing with his master, he had never fought with anyone, in fact, Wusheng was also very scared in his heart, but thinking of Xiangxiang and Xiangxiang's mother lying on the bed, thinking that all this was because he went to steal the fish first, otherwise Xiangxiang would not have such danger, Wusheng gritted his teeth and prepared to protect Xiangxiang even if he sacrificed, suddenly the tiger spoke.
"Who the hell are you?
Wusheng and Xiangxiang were frightened by this sudden voice.
