Chapter 3, Change
Xiao Qianyue continued to nest on the crooked neck tree, and she didn't bother to move it.
"Let's give up, Xiao Qianyue!" A man ran from afar and called her urgently,
"What, my old man doesn't want to help you diagnose and treat you? Hahahaha.... Look at you in a hurry. Xiao Qianyue looked at the man with a bag on his face but ran to the ground, laughing so much on the tree that he couldn't hold the book and fell to the ground.
"No, it's not good Xiao Qianyue, it's .... Be.... It was Elder Teng who fainted! Check it out! The boy who ran over said with a panicked face,
"What? How so? The old man is fine in the morning, you are not allowed to frame me with this! Xiao Qianyue said that she didn't believe it, but her movements were faster than anyone else, and she jumped off the tree and ran in the direction of the medicine house.
Hurriedly returned to Elder Teng's medicine house, and came to Elder Teng's bed, only to see that Elder Teng was sweating profusely at this time, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, his lips were bloodless, and his face was painful.
"What's wrong with you, old man? Aren't you still fine when I go out in the morning, but why haven't I seen you for half a day? What the hell is wrong with you, huh? Woowoo...... Old man, tell me how I can save you? Xiao Qianyue panicked, grabbed Elder Teng's hand with trembling hands, and tears couldn't help falling anymore.
She has no mother since she was born, and her father is not there, it was Elder Teng who raised her with a mouthful of rice and soup, for her, Elder Teng is her family that depends on each other, she once thought that Elder Teng would definitely accompany her to grow up, watching her marry and seeing her have children, she still wants to wait for her to come back and honor him well, she can't let him have anything.
"Old man, I'll go and boil medicine for you, you must hold on." Xiao Qianyue panicked and wanted to go out to grab the medicine, but was grabbed by Elder Teng on the bed.
"Good boy, I am the root of the disease left by the Immortal and Demon War, it is already a blessing from God that I can live for so many years, and now I have reached the point where medicine and food are useless, don't waste your energy to save me." After saying this, Elder Teng had already used all his strength, and immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood uncontrollably.
"No, old man, you can't be fine, I must save you!" Xiao Qianyue finally cried uncontrollably, and her hands kept losing her true qi to Elder Teng, but Elder Teng's breath was getting weaker and weaker, and there was no improvement.
"Listen to me, child, after I leave, you must listen to the words of the other elders, practice hard, and don't be lazy anymore. If I'm not by your side, you must take good care of yourself, the strong in the cultivation realm are respected, I don't want you to be bullied by others..... Ahem..... My hard-working child, you must work hard, so that I can feel at ease below! Promise me! After Elder Teng finished speaking, he no longer had the strength to hold Xiao Qianyue's hand, and his head hung down, and he was silent again.
Xiao Qianyue has never been so uncomfortable as at this time, and her heart feels like someone has dug out a piece of pain and can't help herself. She had never felt as useless as she did today.
She especially hated why she hadn't listened to the old man's words and cultivated hard in the first place, thinking that if she cultivated hard at this moment, would Elder Teng not have to die?
Thinking about her uncontrollable crying anymore, only her grief-stricken cries could be heard in the medicine house.
The two monks who were still there just now are also gone, so I think I should have gone to report Elder Teng's death to the Great Elder, leaving Xiao Qianyue alone here heartbroken.
Not long after, several other elders really arrived in a hurry, and Xiao Qianai also came, looking at the girl who was lying beside Elder Teng's bed crying silently, they were also sad.
"Sister, please mourn. I and a few other elders will take care of Elder Teng's funeral, don't worry. Xiao Qianai looked at her sad sister with gentle eyes, and said with relief,
"Yes, Qianyue, we old things have lived to this age, and we can see everything, and I think the same is true for Elder Teng, I think the only thing that can't be relieved when he leaves is you, you must cheer up." The second elder put his arm on Xiao Qianyue's shoulders and comforted,
"Yes, Qianyue, you and Qianai are sisters, why don't you move to my Shiren Hall with Qianai in the future, although Elder Teng is gone, we can take care of you." Elder Shi also persuaded.
Xiao Qianyue saw that everyone was waiting for her reply, and it was not good to be sad all the time and not reply, so she reluctantly cheered up and said,
"Thank you sister and the two elders for your kindness, I believe you will definitely be able to handle Elder Teng's funeral. However, I don't want to leave the back mountain yet, there is still a medicine field left for me by Elder Teng to take care of, and I am used to living in the back mountain, and I will lose sleep if I move the nest, so I won't trouble Elder Shi and my sister. Xiao Qianyue saluted to Elder Shi and Xiao Qianai.
"Sister, why are you so stubborn? I can find someone to help you take care of the Yam Garden, your top priority now should be to practice well and increase your cultivation, and live in Shi Ren Hall with me and Elder Shi to guide you, I believe you will definitely make progress. "Xiao Qian loves and hates the way that iron does not become steel.
She always felt that Xiao Qianyue was lazy and unmotivated under the nurturing of Elder Teng, and she did not make any progress in her cultivation, but became more and more unsuccessful, and she was very anxious.
"Forget it, Qianai, let her go." Elder Shi stopped Xiao Qianai's words, he felt that according to Xiao Qianyue's lazy character, it was a puddle of mud everywhere, so why waste this time to care about her, he just needed to cultivate Xiao Qianai well, and the future heir to the head of the family could only be Xiao Qianai.
"Thank you, Great Elder, for your fulfillment!" Xiao Qianyue saluted again.
Xiao Qianai has always respected Elder Shi, and he has always listened to his words and never dared to resist, and the same is true in Xiao Qianyue's matter, so in this way, the question of Xiao Qianyue's whereabouts has been decided.
The two elders explained some matters that needed to be paid attention to in the funeral, and instructed Xiao Qianyue to prepare for the seven-day funeral before Shi Shiran left.
Before leaving, Xiao Qianai did not forget to tell Xiao Qianyue not to be too sad, to eat on time and take good care of herself.
Xiao Qianyue absentmindedly lowered her eyebrows and said yes again and again, Xiao Qianai couldn't look at her like this, so she could only shake her head and leave helplessly.
According to the rules of the ancestors of Tsz Shan, Elder Teng's funeral was arranged in the main hall of Tsz Shan, and he had to be held according to the pomp of the elders for seven days and seven nights.
During the period, the scene was also quite big, there were people from all walks of life who came to mourn, and there were also disciples from this sect who came to worship, and the funeral was held for a few days, and Xiao Qianyue knelt in front of Elder Teng's coffin for a few days.
Seven days and seven nights later, the Great Elder arranged to bury Elder Teng's coffin in the ancestral tomb of the sect in a beautiful manner, Xiao Qianyue relieved her heart, and when she relaxed, she felt dizzy, and immediately fainted.
Xiao Qianyue slept for three days and three nights, if she wasn't really hungry and panicked, she would have been able to sleep for another two days.
When I woke up, I saw that I was not in the back mountain, but in a strange woman's boudoir, and at this time, small sandalwood was burning in the incense burner in the center of the house, and the faint smell was not pungent.
On the south side of the room was a bronze dresser, on which various rouge gouaches were placed on the table, and a gold-trimmed sandalwood jewelry box lay quietly, and a silver carved comb sat on it.
And what surprised her the most was that there was a picture of a snow scene hanging on the west wall next to the bed, in which the person left his back, the golden feather crown white sable fur cloak mopping the floor, the ink hair hanging low, and a sharp sword hanging down at the side, this is like a handsome and dashing man's picture, and a poem is mentioned on the picture, the font is beautiful, and it is mentioned by the woman at a glance.
"The phoenix is soaring, and the four seas are seeking the phoenix. Helpless beauty, not on the east wall. "What do you mean, I don't understand.
At this moment, a figure walked in, "Sister, you're awake, what's wrong?" Xiao Qianai asked with concern,
"Ah, sister, this is your room! I'm fine, I'm just a little hungry. Xiao Qianyue rubbed her stomach embarrassedly after speaking.
"Oh, I forgot you hadn't eaten in days, so I'm going to prepare." With that, Xiao Qianai went out, leaving her alone in the room staring at the person in the painting in a daze.
