To the west of Chaoxi Town lies a high mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, it is covered with dense jacarandas, and in autumn, from a distance, this mountain seems to stand in a sea of purple flowers. The mountainside is covered with all kinds of strange flowers and plants, it is said that many flowers and plants are highly poisonous, the mountains are shrouded in a thin layer of mist all the year round, ordinary people are in it, some get lost and fall down the cliff, some are highly poisonous and die, which also provides food for the beasts that shuttle through the mountains and forests, so except for the people in the Valley of the Divine Doctor located on the top of the mountain, the locals do not dare to step into the mountain, at most at the foot of the mountain to watch the jacaranda.

A long waterfall stretches from the mountainside to the bottom of the mountain, and you can clearly hear the sound of the waterfall no matter where you are located on the mountain.

Under the light of the full moon, the Divine Medicine Valley looks so quiet, the courtyard surrounded by bamboo forests is built on a lake full of lotus flowers, walk along the wooden corridor on the lake, go up the stairs, four highlands are located on a flat ground full of chrysanthemums, on the three high grounds at the lower level, each has a two-storey bamboo building, and on the highest piece of high ground, there is a three-story bamboo building, and the bamboo building is surrounded by a wall, and only the windows on the third floor can be seen from the outside.

The lake shimmered in the breeze, and the entire Divine Medicine Valley was like a fairyland in the mist. In the middle of the night, under the wisteria flowers at the mouth of the valley, there was a flickering light, and the woman carried a bamboo basket full of exotic flowers and plants, carrying a lantern into the valley, because she washed away the smell of her body in the waterfall, so now her clothes are all soaked, and her thin body can be seen through the clothes, and the sweat is mixed with the water stains that have not yet dried, dripping down the hair.

She stood in the corridor, looked at the full moon in the sky, and then looked in the direction of the high ground, and now the people in the valley were only the person who lived on the highest floor, herself, and her brother, and the three of them, and she had been here for almost three years, but she was still not allowed to step on the stairs over there, and could only live in this courtyard on the lake.

The woman sneezed, shrunk her shoulders, and walked towards the gate of the courtyard, which was full of medicine shelves, some of which had to be put into the pharmacy on the left side of the courtyard at night, and some of which needed to be exposed to the moonlight, and after placing the bamboo basket on the stone table, she took out a wrapped pastry from her pocket and walked towards a room on the east side of the courtyard.

As soon as I entered the house, a smell of medicine came to my nose, but the woman was used to it, and there was a big wooden barrel by the window in the room, and a man was sitting in the bucket, and when he saw the woman come in, the man opened his eyes, glanced at the woman, and whispered, "You're back." ”

"Brother, the town is so lively today," the woman walked to the wooden barrel with a smile, disassembled the pastry, picked up a piece and handed it to the man's mouth, "This is given to me by Sister Bai Xiluo from Chaoxian Building, it's fragrant." ”

The man looked at the woman's clothes, paused, and opened his mouth slightly.

After the man ate a piece, he said that he had no appetite, and the woman sat in front of the barrel, looking at the bright moon outside the window while eating.

"Brother, don't worry, I've been studying medical books, and a few days ago I thought of a way to treat your injuries, but I don't know if it's feasible, the next time Master comes back, I'll ask him, maybe it's really useful." The woman said as she ate her mouth.

The man opened his closed eyes, and after a moment of silence, he spoke, "I've worked hard for you in the past three years. ”

"What are you talking about? I'd do it even if I were an outsider, not to mention that you're still my brother. ”

The man didn't speak again, closing his eyes again.

"Brother, you get better quickly, during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year, we will go to the town's lantern festival together, it seems to be very fun."

The wind outside the window was getting stronger and stronger, and the whole valley was filled with the fragrance of chrysanthemums, and the woman had fallen asleep leaning on the barrel, and her wet clothes were slowly dried by the wind, probably because of the cold, the woman's body began to tremble and shrink into a ball.

At this moment, the door of the house opened, a tall figure appeared at the door, and a faint fragrance wafted in the air, a man in white clothes and a mask slowly walked in the direction of the woman, the soft green silk smashing gently fluttered in the wind, he glanced at the man sitting in the barrel, looked at the woman, shook his head slightly, picked up the woman and walked out of the door.

After the two left, the man in the barrel slowly opened his eyes, and his eyes were suddenly filled with endless self-blame.

The town below the mountain was already bathed in sunlight, but the Valley of the Divine Medicine was unusually cold surrounded by the morning mist, and the sunlight could not shine into the valley at all at this time, only the dew drops on the flowers and plants on the cliff could be seen shining in the morning light.

"Senior brother, my brother seems to be in pain, can you go and see him?" The woman stood at the top of the stairs early in the morning and shouted loudly towards the high level, she had been here for nearly half an hour, but the people who lived on it still ignored her.

The man's painful voice came from the courtyard again, and the woman was a little anxious, "Senior brother, if you come out again, I'll rush up!" As he spoke, he raised his feet and stepped onto the stairs.

Before her feet could hit the ground, she was picked up by a figure and thrown into the lake.

Looking at the woman struggling in the water, the man said in a deep voice, "I never heal people. With that, he turned and prepared to leave.

But after he had taken two steps, his feet were suddenly grabbed by a pair of hands, and when he turned around, he found the woman holding his leg tightly, looking at him with a determined look.

"You are good to me, please save my brother."

The man was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head helplessly, "Why are you wearing a veil?" ”

The person in front of her didn't know anything about the woman, in the three years that the woman lived in the Valley of the Divine Doctor, she only knew that in the highest building, lived the master's beloved apprentice, who was also a genius who studied medicine, although she had seen him a few times, but every time it was his back, this time it was because her two senior sisters and the master had something to go out, so she couldn't ask for this person.

"I have a big scar on my face, and my sister said that my whole face is ruined, so I can only wear this."

The chill from his legs made the man a little unhappy, but he couldn't bear to throw the woman into the water again, he tried to break free, and the woman let go of his leg in amusement.

"Don't worry, I'll wash it for you." The woman was embarrassed and pointed to the water stains and dirt on the man's clothes.

"What's your name?"

The woman was inevitably a little surprised that her senior brother didn't even know her name, but now is not the time to care about this, "My name is..."

"Ugly, I won't save people by myself..." Before the woman could say her name, the man looked at her and said.

"I'm not called..."

"If you want to alleviate your brother's pain, you can listen to every word I say next."

Hearing this, the woman's desire to correct her name disappeared without a trace, and she stood up straight and looked at the man expectantly.
