Chapter 15: Fighting for Fruit

Flying to the top of the Valley of Evil Diseases, there was a whirring sound from his sleeve, and the hateful old man Wen actually fell asleep? Sure enough, when it comes to the critical time, it is best to sleep.

Leaning down and looking at a shallow valley suddenly appeared in front of me, I saw a huge tree growing in the center of the valley bottom, covering the valley floor with dense branches and leaves, and there was no gap on all sides. On top of a green sea, a purple berry grew on the top of the tree, revealing a faint light, releasing spiritual power to the outside world.

"That's it, that's the fruit that heals the plague." Shu Qing pointed to the berries excitedly, and couldn't wait to rush forward. But he was pulled by the potato boy.

She turned away in confusion, and Potato Boy looked panicked, and pressed her short, fat little finger to her closed mouth? She knew it in an instant, but it was too late. A beast with a snake tail neighed and broke through the green barrier, slithering and waving its claws to pounce on it.

"Don't look at its eyes! This bad guy is called a dragon, and everything it sees will be turned to stone. Potato boy picked up Shu Qing and ran away around the edge of the shallow valley, saying as he ran: "I'll lure this bad guy away, you go get the fruit." ”

As he spoke, the strange bird spit out a large area of flames, but fortunately, the little guy moved quickly and dragged Shu Qing to dodge the fire.

"You're still so young, let me deal with this monster." Shu Qing looked at the potato boy with some concern, if the little round head was caught by the strange bird, it should not be kicked as a ball.

"Okay, then you'll be the bait." Who knew that the little guy agreed to be refreshing, and he was not polite at all, which made Shu Qing angry, even if he had to lift the dough face on the way to escape, he pulled it hard, "You really won't pity girls." ”

The potato boy, who was pinched black and red, had his eyes lit up and shouted happily: "It's now!" Now is the time! Throw me into a tree! ”

"Good!" Shu Qing threw out the green and white meat ball like a plumb hammer, and the monster with the snake tail of the bird actually turned around to chase the potato boy, swaying the snake body and the bird's mouth made a slight snake cry, and the three black and white bones hooked their fingertips like a ghost hand stretched out from hell to firmly lock the front, no matter how Shu Qing shouted in the back, he also stared at the prey and never let go, the heartbeat of the puff and puff was about to go out of his throat, and the moment he was about to grab the little guy, the green and white body disappeared again.

"Well done!" She happily shook her empty fist, proud of the little one's divine power. But before she could be happy, the strange bird broke through the branch in a rage, and turned around and chased after her. Frightened, Shu Qing panicked, and fell to the bottom of the valley without paying attention, and with a bang, it echoed in the valley.

"You're okay, Shu Qing." Potato asked.

"It's okay, it's okay, you go pick the fruit." With the tense atmosphere, the speed of speech became much faster, only to hear a sparse voice from behind, it was the strange bird! She ran away, and the bell of the horse at her waist rang like a curse.

The potato boy above her head was still asking her for help: "What should I do, Shuqing, I can't pull out this fruit."

She ran forward around the trunk of the tree, her mind was already frightened and blank to care about the potato boy, but she ran wildly over and over again, and the evil fire behind her spit out from the bird's beak, and she fled left and right but still could not avoid the rapid attack, and as soon as she slowed down, the tongue of fire that licked the person sparked at her feet, and the little red sword suddenly turned into a fireball.

It turned out that the girl who was still six gods and had no owner was instantly pulled back to the cruel reality by the blazing pain, and she was so frightened that her hair stood on end, and she sat on the ground, calling "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy." ”

"Silly girl, use the fan that Xianzun gave you!" Bi Ma Wen didn't know when he woke up, but he reminded Shu Qing at the critical moment. She immediately raised the fan and slapped the red leg vigorously, trying to suppress the evil fire, but only the orchid petals that fell from the rain sporadically shook out of the fan, and rose with a dark fragrance, turning into a wisp of flower soul, shining with a dazzling light and drilling into the girl's eyebrows.

"I'm not asking you to play tricks!" She tossed it away, treating the fan as a clump. The sound of the scales fluctuating approached, and the strange bird seemed to have won a long time ago, spitting out the snake hyacinth happily, and was weighing where to take it.

opened the bird's beak to reveal the abyssal mouth, and the cold fangs pierced Shu Qing. "Don't." I saw the girl stretch out her left hand in front of her. His face was pale, and he closed his eyes, and he was ready to escape into the underworld.

But the strange bird did not lower its mouth, but was frightened and struggled backwards, as if it saw some cow, ghost, snake and god in its frightened pupils, and the spirit of the whole body could not stand the call and continued to leak out, and the berries that poured into the top of the tree shimmered with rose-purple soul light. The round-stared pupils burst out at once, oozing demon blood, and a scream tore through the sky.

Shu Qing covered her face with her left hand and didn't dare to look at it, and she didn't know what was going on. When I looked again, the strange bird had already dropped a feather, and the spirit was nowhere to be found.

At this time, the potato boy at the top of the tree cheered and shouted, "Shu Qing!" Shu Qing! I pulled out the fruit! ”

"Great, finally relieved."

After taking the fruit, Shu Qing called the potato boy to take her back to Chu Xiao quickly, and in a daze, she only remembered that she seemed to have forgotten something and couldn't even remember anything, and she was bent on saving the people of Chu Xiao and making the crane quinoa get better quickly.

As soon as her front foot landed, she hurriedly opened the door and entered, eager to tell the good news to Crane Quinoa and her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law, who was dozing in front of the medicine jar, was suddenly awakened by the sound of the door opening, and when she saw that it was Miss Lin who had returned, she hurriedly asked, "Where has Miss Lin gone these days?" Why did you bring a doll back? ”

"Mother-in-law, I went to the Valley of Evil Diseases and brought down the fresh fruits that can cure diseases!"

"Really, great, great! It's really great! Great!" The mother-in-law was full of joy when she heard this, and she was so happy that she was pacing back and forth helplessly, her tone was aggravated over and over again, and she didn't know how to say the joy overflowing between her eyebrows.

"Quick...... Quickly stew the fruit into medicine and bring it to the people of Chuxiao. The mother-in-law rubbed her hands happily, unable to even speak clearly.

The two of them hurriedly stewed the soup in an iron pot, and they were in a hurry, but there was no pain in the hot part of this piece, and the chubby potato boy held the bowl of water with his round belly, and carried two small water ladles in both hands to continuously add water, and finally refined this panacea.

As soon as the soup was refined, the three of them carried a huge bamboo basket on their backs to deliver the medicine. When I arrived at Uncle Wu's house, the hall was full of patients with coughing and thick phlegm, and Crane Quinoa was feeding people medicine one by one.

As soon as the three of them arrived, before they could catch their breath, they put down the bamboo basket and opened the lid, which was full of potions glowing with a strange purple light.

"Miss Lin went to the Valley of Evil Diseases to find a cure for the plague, and the big guy quickly drank this medicine." The mother-in-law carefully picked up the potion with both hands and protected it in the palm of her hand like a fast baby, for fear of shedding a drop and a half.

But the patients in that room all avoided their eyes in fear, and their faces were sad one by one.

"Who knows what poison is in this water? It doesn't seem to be a cure for people, maybe that girl is a monster from the Valley of Evil Diseases, and wants to take our lives! I don't know who in the crowd said in a weird way, and everyone fell away, agreeing again and again, and the cold arrows were all around, which made people sad.

"Yes, yes, how can this little girl take medicine from the monsters of the Valley of Evil Diseases."

"I also think it's a youkai."

"That's right, it's still not good to eat."

Hiding behind the human wall, everyone can release their anger as they want, because no one blames it for being a carnival of human nature, and after this carnival, there is no initiator but blind followers.

The thunderous voice of the mother-in-law and the milky persuasion of the potato boy were drowned out in the cacophony, and the powerless rebels looked ridiculous in the crowd.

"Kill the banshee." I don't know who shouted, and the scene became a mess, and swords, guns, and sticks clashed.

Seeing that her hard-earned fairy fruit was not only regarded as arsenic dove poison by everyone, but also reduced herself to a monster-like existence, she lowered her head, cold tears dripping across her cheeks and falling to the ground, comforting herself, saying that the world is suspicious, it doesn't hurt, just to survive is not wrong.

"Stop arguing." A startled wood stirred in the hall, the gentle and elegant Doctor Crane Quinoa changed his appearance as warm as jade, but his face without anger looked at everyone coldly, making people shudder, the atmosphere was as silent and cold as the frozen river, he did not hesitate to snatch the soup from his mother-in-law's hand, and drank it down, and fell to the ground angrily.

"This so-called 'monster' is the 'monster' who delivers medicine to you day and night, and the 'monster' you want to kill is a monster with scars on his hands and carrying the weight for you." He raised Shu Qing's scabbed and scabbed little hands, and wept in disappointment, his thin lips trembling constantly. "If you don't believe her, you can always believe me! Why haven't I died after drinking this bowl of medicine, and the high fever has disappeared? It's because this medicine is here to cure diseases! ”

Seeing that the doctor who treated the disease and saved people said this, people gradually moved their minds, and a few brave guys even stepped forward and touched the forehead of the crane quinoa, and said in one ear to another. "It's really feverish." "Yes, yes, it seems to be true."

A few people from the immobile crowd also came out and competed for crabs. Raised the bowl, closed his eyes and heart, and said: "Anyway, it's better to try it if it's a death horizontally and vertically." And he threw up his head and drank. Slowly, a few people were cured, you and I said jubilantly, and the half-believing villagers went forward one after another to drink the medicine, and even a few stubborn old men drank the medicine under the urging of their children and grandchildren. He Quinoa looked at Shu Qing with relief, his eyebrows slowly fell, and he whispered, "Thank you for helping me win this hard battle." ”。

From the village to the alley, from the alley to the town, and finally to the palace, it was all better. Everywhere is laughter and laughter, the shouts of buying and selling are all over the streets and alleys, and the sky is full of colorful Kong Ming lanterns. Shu Qing made a pillow with her hands, facing the stars, and the potato boy next to her was still teasing her, muttering. "Ignore me, just let me tickle you." While itching and rolling around, she remembered the picture of that day playing in the galaxy, two innocent and romantic children laughed and scolded happily with the stars as water, and really wanted to go back to that time, that carefree day. was fantasizing, and suddenly remembered that there was something left behind, the group fan of the Immortal Venerable! She hammered her forgetful little head with remorse, but there was a summons from a soldier with a sword under the eaves: "Who is Lin Shuqing, come with me." ”
