Chapter 57: The Old Woman
How long has it been?
I don't know, Yun Wu woke up in a groggy state and found that he was no longer lying by the river, but on a somewhat rudimentary bed.
His lips were chapped and his face was bloodless, as if he had exhausted all his strength, before he slowly opened his purple eyes.
It's a very simple hut, the furnishings are very simple and not very spacious, but in this room, there are two beds.
In addition to the simple bed where Yun Wu was lying, there was also a relatively tattered bed.
It can be seen that this hut should be inhabited by two people,
Outside the door!
Faintly, it seems that the sound of someone talking can be heard.
"Xiao Yezi, I heard that your grandmother picked up another person? Your family is so poor that you can't eat enough, why do you have to pick up a dying person again? Listen to the advice of the eldest mother, and while your grandmother has not come back, you can throw the person back to the river. ”
"Auntie, how can you say such a thing, that's a human life, even if it's not grandma picking it up, I will save it when I see it, you can go back to your own home if you're fine, don't talk about something here, my grandma should be angry when she hears it."
It was a somewhat immature voice, dyed with a hint of anger.
"Okay, good, you are all good people, just my aunt, I am a bad person, I originally saw that your life is hard, and I can't help but kindly remind you, it seems that I am troubled, and I am really kind to be repaid." The woman was dissatisfied, and left in pieces.
After that, I vaguely heard the sound of small broken footsteps walking and stopping, back and forth, as if I was busy with something.
After scanning the surrounding environment, Yun Wu noticed that the strange branch that had been inserted in his abdomen was gone, and the wounds on his body were bandaged.
Did the person who saved her handle it for her?
How was the strange branch that shrank into her body when she touched it?
This question flashed through my mind, but gradually, I felt that my eyelids began to sink again, as if I was about to fall asleep.
Yun Wu understood that her body was too weak, first, it might be that she hadn't eaten for a long time, and maybe there was another reason, that is, she hadn't drunk beast blood for a long time.
She could clearly feel that although the wounds on her body were bandaged, they did not feel healed at all.
If you lie down like this, I am afraid that it will be impossible for the body to repair and heal on its own.
Yun Wu gritted her teeth and tried to stand up.
But at this moment, the door opened, and a petite figure walked in with a bowl of medicine.
When the girl saw Yun Wu wake up, she couldn't help but hurriedly exclaim; "Don't get up, you're still weak, watch out for your wounds."
Putting the bowl in her hand on the table, the girl hurriedly walked over, grabbed a pillow on the side, and carefully placed it upright so that Yun Wu could lie on the bed.
"I have followed what my grandmother said, washed with medicated water, and then bandaged it, but, it's been three days, your wound is still cracked and has not healed, grandma said, you are too seriously injured, and soaked in the water for too long, she went to the mountain to collect medicine for you early this morning, you are obedient, if it hurts, just bear with it, I decocted the medicine for you, after you drink it, it will slowly get better, don't worry."
This is a little girl about ten years old, her skin is a little yellowish, but she has a pair of big bright eyes, she looks delicate, her small brows are wrinkled, and she is crackling, looking like a little adult.
However, from that tone and words, it can be heard that this girl has a kind heart.
"Don't move, I'll serve you some medicine.
The girl said again, and when she saw that Yun Wu was not moving, she turned around and went to the table to serve the medicine as if relieved.
Yun Wu's purple eyes looked at her lightly, but did not speak.
Xiao Yezi sat on the edge of the bed, blew the medicine in the bowl, and cooled it before sending a spoonful to Yun Wu's mouth.
The strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils, and with the understanding of the medicine, it was a kind of warm and tonic medicine for wounds, which was very beneficial to the weak and seriously injured patients.
But for Yun Wu, this mild medicinal property has no effect on her current body at all.
Xiao Yezi saw that Yun Wu didn't open her mouth, thinking that she was afraid of hardship, and suddenly opened her mouth like a child; "Sister, this is a good medicine and a bitter mouth, you drink the medicine obediently now, I'll buy you candied fruit later, okay? Come on, ah...... Mouth. ”
Yun Wu frowned, but seeing her sincere eyes, she couldn't help refusing, and her pursed lips slowly opened.
When Xiao Yezi saw it, he immediately grinned happily; "That's good, I'll buy you preserves later."
Her child-like words made Yun Wu a little speechless.
As she spoke, she put the medicine into her mouth, and then a spoonful, two spoonfuls......
She is very skillful in her movements, as if she has been trained by often feeding people medicine.
"You've been asleep for three days, you must be hungry, aren't you? You rest a little longer, and I'll go and make you some millet porridge. ”
Pulled the quilt for Yun Wu and put her well, and Xiao Yezi walked out of the room with the bowl.
After a while, I heard the sound of broken footsteps outside the door, and it seemed that the kitchen was outside.
Lying on this humble bed, listening to the busy footsteps outside, Yun Wu felt comfortable and relaxed for the first time.
It seems that here, all the camouflage baggage can be put down temporarily.
Although the medicine had no effect on her wounds, after drinking it, her body was a little warm, and she didn't know if it was too relaxed, and before she knew it, she was falling asleep again.
……
When Yun Wu came to her senses again, although her wounds had not healed, her physical strength had recovered a lot, and her mental strength had also recovered a lot.
Taking a slight breath, the dantian slowly moved, and his spiritual power probed towards his body, wanting to see the current situation of his body.
I don't know if I don't visit, but when I saw it, Yun Wu couldn't help but gasp.
I thought that the branches had been taken out, but I found that they had all shrunk into her abdomen, and the branches were branched into her flesh and blood, as if they had taken root.
Damn it.
What the hell is that?
Yun Wu was a little frightened, and sat up from the bed, wanting to tear off the bandaged white cloth on his abdomen and look at his abdomen......
The door slowly opened.
This time, though, it wasn't the little girl, but an old woman in plain patched clothes.
Full of gray hair, obvious wrinkles on his face, about seventy or eighty years old, those kind eyes, dyed with a trace of inexplicable vicissitudes, let people see that there is always such a sad feeling in their eyes.
"Woke up? Your body is still very weak, lie down. "The kind old voice.
After the old woman entered the house, she poured a glass of water from the table, walked to the bed, and brought it to Yun Wu's mouth; "Drink some water so your throat doesn't feel so bad."
Yun Wu looked at the old woman in front of her, she had heard the conversation outside the door before, and knew that it was this old woman who rescued her.
After a few seconds of pause, he reached out and took the water glass.
"Thank you, mother-in-law, for saving me." He hadn't spoken for many days, and his voice was a little hoarse.
The old woman smiled.
"Son, you're recovering well. Judging from the wounds on your body, you should have been washed down by the rapids in the Warcraft Forest, in addition to the wounds and fractures on your body, I don't know how to treat fractures, wait a few days, and I'll ask a doctor to show you. ”
As far as the situation in this family is concerned, Yun Wu can actually guess that he probably doesn't have the money to hire a doctor.
In fact, with her medical skills and her "special" body, she can cure it herself.
But at this time, Yun Wu also nodded. "Thank you, mother-in-law."
"Call me mother-in-law, don't be so polite in the future, the wounds on your body have not healed, I picked up the medicine for you again, wait a minute, let Xiao Yezi wash the wound for you and put it on you."
Yun Wu smiled slightly and nodded.
After saying a few more words to tell her not to move, the old woman went out.
…………
For the next three days, Yun Wu lay in bed.
In the past three days, in addition to the wounds on her body that have not healed, she has taken care of the fractures on her body, and her physical and mental strength have also recovered.
However, the strange branch that retracted into her abdomen was the existence that made her feel terrified.
The dragon scroll rummaged through, and there was no record of this strange branch.
Many times she wanted to take it out by herself, but she could feel that the branch was as if she was conscious, as long as she moved, the branch began to strangely branch and take root in her flesh and blood.
The pain was unbearable, but it wouldn't kill her.
After three days, Yun Wu gave up taking it out for the time being, otherwise, I am afraid that if her mind continues, the branches will root her whole body.
Getting out of bed, Yun Wu looked at the bandaging on his body, and slowly walked out of the door.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a woman in her thirties, dressed plainly, hurrying in this direction.
"Are you...... You're the woman who was rescued by the medicine mother-in-law, aren't you? I'm Sister Li who lives at the entrance of the village, is Xiao Yezi not at home? Sister Li, who ran over, looked Yun Wu up and down, and was a little stunned by her strange purple eyes and beautiful appearance.
However, she quickly withdrew her gaze and planned to walk towards the house.
It is a remote mountain valley, there is no human population around, outside the house is a built grass hut, on one side is a simple kitchen, on the other side is the herbs, and outside is the surrounding vegetable garden, very simple.
"She's not home." In the past three days, Yun Wu has also learned a little about the pair of grandchildren.
The girl is not the granddaughter of the medicine mother-in-law, but the medicine mother-in-law picked up and raised since she was a child, so she was named Xiaoyezi, as for the medicine mother-in-law, it is said that she was born without force, and her children did not support her, so she moved to this mountain alone.
In fact, I always felt that the identity of Granny Yao was not what she said, but Yun Wu didn't ask much.
"Not there? Where did she run away at this time? Something happened to her grandmother. Sister Li frowned, with a very anxious expression.
Although Granny Yao lives in the mountains, the poor residents in the nearby area have a headache and brain fever and are sick, all of them rely on Granny Yao's medicine.
