The seventh round of the West Mountain

The cutting is continuous, and the rationalization is still messy.

Away from being entangled with Wu Wu's words, he couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't get rid of it, Dian Er led the medicine picker girl and Zhixi, returned from the village stream, and the girl walked step by step, her slender waist was like a young willow weeping branch on the side of the street, not swaying and living.

"If you don't harvest or harvest, if you don't hunt or hunt, why don't you get something for nothing?" Wu Wu had attention, and was once again distracted by this group of women. No matter from which point of view, they don't seem to be able to help plows and hoes, plant seedlings and pick up rice, and they can't help but shake their heads and sigh: "Don't say 'work', it is to help the village aunts pick mulberry and weave cloth, cook tea and steam rice, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." ”

"It's just that the demon clan is bullying people and taking away half of my village with one word!" The strong man who had been in trouble before now obeyed Wu Wuyou's words, and expressed his indignation at this demon realm outcast who suddenly 'occupied' their village for no reason.

"They were originally medicine girls who entered the medicine palace in Zhonghuang Mountain, and they were confiscated because they didn't know the grass demon, if they talked about picking mulberry and weaving hemp, cooking tea and steaming rice, they didn't hide it, they really haven't done it, but they are still proficient in knowing medicine and medicine." Lihe looked at the medicine picker girl and Zhixi behind him, and said to the villagers: "If you accept it, I am willing to repay it with my life's medical skills." ”

"How can we trust you?" The old patriarch asked with concern, his face was wrinkled and furrowed, and he had been in the sea, but he had turned into vicissitudes.

The people in the village mostly rely on self-healing for treatment: those who are mild will resist and pass; Seriously, if it is a large family, it can also be sent to the city medicine hall fifteen miles away, and the right to save a life to come back, if it is a small family, it will die, and a life will be whimpered.

The village is far away, poor and isolated, even the rivers and lakes are unwilling to patronize, and occasionally come, it is also harmful to others and themselves: people can't be saved and can't be cured, even if they are saved, they can't afford to give money, you can no longer treat the living to death as revenge, the left and right are at a loss, so the doctor and Qiwu Village do not interact with each other, each with its own life.

"If the medical skills are unbearable, it will not be too late to catch up with us." Lihe said: "If it is then, I will never hurt people with my demonic power." ”

"If so, great! Very good! Wu Wu had this scholar shook his head again, and he looked sour and rotten, and he actually smiled.

"Then you go to the western mid-levels to settle down, if you can save the wounds, we and the small people, pray for the demon every day, and be willing to surrender." The old patriarch said, and bowed again. He returned the salute and led the girls to the western mid-levels.

Along the way, the birds sing and the flowers are streams, the water is ethereal, the fish and fine stones are swimming, the landscape is picturesque, the group of people is smoky with jade, the steps are dusty, the scene of a cup of tea, to the half waist of the west mountain, and the village in the east half of the mountain is in a straight line, across the valley, the fishbone-shaped streets and alleys are shrouded in the mist, still beautiful.

Away from the sleeves with the technique, a green coat, three thousand ink hair, flowing and flying, but see the flat ground from the courtyard, twelve houses, divided into four courtyards, from south to north in order: people set, monopolize a courtyard; Sunset, sun, day, day, occupy a courtyard; Riyang, Rizheng, Riyu, occupy a total of one courtyard; Eating time, dawn, and Pingdan, a total of one entry; Waste, midnight, for the fifth entry. Layer by layer, just opposite to the twelve hours, take the meaning of "cherish the time".

The twelve-story house is hidden between the mountain stones and trees, the eaves are inserted into the air, the carved and embroidered thresholds, the beautiful trees between the courtyards are verdant, the strange flowers are splendid, and the clear stream is poured under the stone gap from the depths of the flowers and trees. Qingxi epsom jade, stone piercing clouds, apricot branches for the fence, bamboo leaf shadow wall, look over from the east mountain, such as the ethereal painting township, just like the shape of the "fish head", and the shape of the "fish bone" of Gouyu Village in the east mid-mountain, it is integrated, and take the wonder of "harmony and harmony".

The gate at the entrance of the courtyard is the moon cave door, which is extremely graceful. There is a wooden plaque on it, and the words are not yet written.

"Do you have any opinions on the name of this courtyard?" Leave and ask the women. Helplessly, the medicine woman collects medicine every day, and her knowledge is slightly shallow.

"How about taking the word 'green sac'?" Zhixi proposed softly: "In the future, as a medical center, it will also take the harmony of 'helping each other', which can be regarded as a merit." ”

Leaving and smiling, everyone called it wonderful. He pointed to the demon light and wrote the words on the wooden plaque.

The courtyard was newly completed, and Dian Er took the other eleven medicine girls, elated, eyebrows fluttering, and ran in to visit and play, to choose their favorite house.

"Zhixi, why don't you choose?" Lihe saw that Zhixi was left alone in the courtyard, and asked her with a smile.

"Oh, if they like it, they can pick it, and I'll live in the rest of the room." Zhixi said, "The left and right are beautiful." ”

Seeing her indisputable temperament, she is quite similar to her own personality, and the smile between her eyebrows is deeper.

"Look at these medicine baskets, they are still empty," Zhixi picked up a basket from the courtyard and said to Lihe with a smile: "I'll go to the mountains to pick some herbs for later use." ”

"I'm with you, there may be beasts of prey in the mountains, and you are not safe alone." Liyoye picked up a bamboo basket and walked side by side with Zhixi to the depths of the verdant mountains to find medicine.

The two of them searched all over the mountain, crossing the path along the stream, some people hoeed the east of the bean stream, some people were weaving chicken coops, and some people were lying on the lotus canopy, adding to the peachy source of comfort.

"Qiaoxiao is a female companion in the east neighborhood, and the mulberry picking path is welcome", the woman who met Dongshan came out of the mulberry field, smiling like a flower, Zhixi saw this situation, and groaned slightly in her mouth. The aroma of orchids in the mouth is blended with the fragrance of Yao grass, which is very charming.

When he saw a white angelica plant in front of him, he joked with Zhixi: "Zhixi, look, this is your elder!" Come and bow down. ”

Zhixi saw that Bai Zhi was already decaying and withering, and knew that she was making fun of her appearance bound by red tape, and couldn't help but hit back at him a little willfully: "The herbs in the mortal world can't be cultivated as a grass demon, and if they are cultivated, they can also be the grandmother of the green fox." ”

Zhixi's last 'milk-milk-', the tone dragged on very thin and long, covering her mouth and laughing as she spoke.

"Okay, you little girl, it's the other way around, even the ancestors dare to laugh," Lihe smiled, ran to Zhixi, and wanted to punish her. Zhixi dodged briskly, ran fast, and sprinkled a copper bell laughter in the forest.

"You can't pick that herb?" When Zhixi saw that Lihe was about to catch up with her, she hurriedly looked for an opportunity to distract Lihe's attention.

"No, it's too old!" Leave and not be deceived by her, just chase her. Until they couldn't run anymore, they sat down together on a meadow at the foot of the mountain. The grass looked green and lush from a distance, and when I sat in it, I found that many of them were still showing half of the dead grass, and the greenery was completely gone.

They lay down on the grass together, breathing in the intoxicating fragrance of the mountain sky, and laughing at each other. Lihe's eyes met Zhixi's innocent beautiful eyes, because he had old feelings in his heart, he unconsciously blushed, his eyes also dodged, looked at the clear blue sky above, and said: "In the past, the flowers were slender, and the jade face smiled and the flowers were old. I really want to be like this, and you are carefree, life after life. ”

"You seem to be very familiar with me," Zhixi listened to his inexplicable words and asked puzzledly: "But, why, apart from the name Qinghu, there is no you and no mother in my memory of cultivation." How did she save your life? How did she die, can you tell me about it? ”

When I heard her ask about her mother, the smile on her face condensed into sadness for a while. He stood up, carried the bamboo basket, and said to Zhixi: "There are some things that your mother doesn't want you to remember, and she erased these consciousnesses of you before she died. Aunt Bai Zhi did this because she didn't want you to be hurt, and she wanted you to grow up happily and carefree. This, too, is my wish. ”

As he spoke, carrying the bamboo basket on his back, he left, apparently, he did not want to continue the topic. Zhixi knew that she couldn't ask anything more, so she caught up, and the two of them picked herbs for half a day, and the basket was full of small and medium-sized herbs.

Before sunset, Zhixi and Lihe returned to the green bag, and met the twelve herb-picking girls who were all carrying the medicine baskets behind them.

"You two run fast, and you don't call us, collect medicine, we are old!" Dian Er pouted and complained.

"Have you all chosen a place to live?" If you don't like to answer the question, you will avoid answering it, but ask about something else. At this point, I didn't get rid of the demon's style at all.

"It's picked, now there is only one free courtyard in the Rending Courtyard," Dian'er looked at Lihe and said with a smile: "You are a man, and you live in the Rending Courtyard closest to the door, which is just right, and it is good for us to guard the door." ”

"Then, Zhixi, you will live in Rending Courtyard." Lihe ignored Dian'er's kindness, and said to Zhixi with a smile: "I'm still not used to the breath of people, and I still live in the mountains and trees." ”

"Well, okay," Zhixi greeted obediently, and poured the Chinese herbs in the back basket on the spot in the courtyard of Rending. The herb-pickers went to their respective courtyards.

When he was still in the courtyard of Rending, he also poured the basket of herbs on his back and poured them on the ground, and then sorted them one by one with Zhixi, or dried them on the herb rack, or grinded them with an ice wheel, squeezed out the juice, and put them in a bottle to stand.

The night is quiet and beautiful.

The next day, when the morning light was still shrouded in a black hazy night, I heard someone knocking the wooden door of the green bag.

"Who?" Zhixi's sleepy eyes were hazy, and she asked before getting up to open the door.

"Open the door, demon... Demon Shang, my child is dying! A middle-aged man outside the door replied hurriedly.

"You, you're yesterday's ....." Zhixi quickly opened the door and saw a man holding a boy who looked like he was three or four years old, he was in a hurry, his head was sweaty, and he was in a trance Wu Wuyou, a scholar from the outer village who was the least welcome to them yesterday.

"Lives matter! It doesn't matter who I am! "He was surprisingly decisive, and he lost all the pretentiousness of yesterday's sour rot.

Zhixi let him into the inner and outer halls of the house, and when he was seated, she put one hand on the boy's wrist to cut the pulse.

"But there is still salvation?" Wu Wuyou looked at Zhixi's solemn face and asked worriedly.

"He's got the poison of the weeds," Zhixi said, "but how long has it been?" ”

"Exactly, exactly, didn't I come to Gouyu Mountain yesterday to pick some herbs, this child was playing at home with his sister, and mistakenly put the mangweed used to get rid of melons and fruit pests in his mouth, and later said to his mother: 'How is this star anise different from the one that my mother used last time to stir-fry?' When I got home, he was unconscious. ”

"Why didn't you bring him then?" There is only a trace of gossamer left in the veins in Zhixi's hand, "Now, the Five Classics have been poisoned, and the gods have replaced them!" ”

When Wu Wu heard this, his emotions collapsed in an instant, and his body slumped to the ground: "How can this be, how can it be so, the god mother in the village, but after saying last night, it will be fine." ”

"Since you know that human life is at stake, why do you still believe in gods and ghosts," Zhixi was angry, "It's in vain that you are still a scholar." ”

She saw that the child in front of her was about to die, and she couldn't bear it, so she pulled her heart vein, tore off a wisp of qi and blood, and directly used demonic power to input the child into her body.

"Demon, demon, what are you doing?" Seeing that she didn't use medicine, but seemed to use demonic power, Wu Wu shouted nervously and distrustfully for a while: "You don't want to harm my child's life!" ”

Exactly: the green sac teaches each other, and the ghost door closes to invite people's lives.
