The young man in white slowly walked back to the hotel, returned to the guest room, took off his silver mask, and revealed a pair of slender and deep phoenix eyes. The young man's facial features are handsome, his skin is as white as jade, his temperament is noble and elegant, and his whole body exudes a noble fairy aura and alienated and indifferent nobility.

Half a year ago, the young man went from Shushan Xianmen to the mortal world to practice, and came to Chang'an Town by the way, wanting to realize his dream many years ago.

Ten years ago, when he was in trouble, there was a cute little girl who appeared in his life and spent a warm time with him.

The little girl once said to him: "Brother Nine, I want to marry you when I grow up." ”

"Brother Jiu, ten years later, you must come back to see me."

"Brother Jiu, I don't want to marry someone else, I want to marry you."

"Brother Nine, you are not allowed to change if you hang yourself for a hundred years."

……

Ten years later, he returned to Baihua Village to find a little girl named Xiao'er.

When he stepped into the entrance of Baihua Village with anxiety and excitement, what appeared in front of him was a dilapidated mountain village that was already empty.

The peach blossom tree in front of the cabin that he had planted with her had grown into a towering tree.

He touched the thick trunk, and the words "Xiao'er" and "Mu Jiu" carved on the trunk were still vaguely there.

"Perhaps, she has long forgotten about Brother Jiu." The young man in white remembered the little boy he had just met, and the way his eyebrows fluttered when he introduced the local food, and he couldn't help but smile.

He looked at the half-cut rock sugar gourd in his hand, and took a bite gently, the entrance was sweet and sour, very delicious.

The young man received a notice from Shushan Xianmen yesterday and asked him to rush back to lead the recruitment test of Shushan Xianmen next year. Chang'an Town is still more than 1,000 miles away from Shushan Xianmen, and the boy decided to set off early tomorrow morning.

The little boy scurried back into the courtyard, pushed the door in, and saw the anxiously waiting woman at a glance.

He pounced on it with a look of surprise and hugged the woman's neck and coquettishly said: "Mother! You're finally back! I haven't seen you for half a month, and I miss you so much. ”

"How did you slip out on your own? Didn't my mother tell you that it hasn't been peaceful lately, so don't run around at night? The woman helped him take off the mask on his face and said angrily, "You, you are wandering around in the guise of a man." ”

A tall and thin young man ran in and said, "Aunt Ming, Mingyue...... “

When the young man saw the girl who was tired of being coquettish in the woman's arms, he said in surprise: "Mingyue, are you back?" There were so many people that I couldn't find you. ”

Mingyue grinned in her mother's arms, and turned around to reveal a delicate and beautiful smart little face: "Little Wu, you stupid, when did you find me." ”

Xiao Wu scratched his head and smiled innocently.

Uncle Wang came in and said, "Aunt Ming, Xiao Wu and I will go over first, the hot water is ready, you should rest early." ”

Aunt Ming watched the two leave, closed the doors and windows, and then walked to the girl with difficulty: "Yue'er, it's not early, ...... you go to bed after washing" Before she finished speaking, she spurted out a few mouthfuls of blood "wow".

The girl Mingyue grabbed the woman and exclaimed, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

The girl hurriedly helped the woman to lie on the bed, cut her pulse, and said in shock: "Mother, why is your pulse so disordered? Did you suffer serious internal injuries? ”

The woman's face was pale, and she said extremely weakly: "Yue'er, you listen to your mother...... My mother has always wanted to grow up with you and watch you marry happily and have children...... However, I am afraid that my mother will not be able to wait for that day...... The mother's deadline is approaching, and time is running out......" After speaking, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

When the girl heard this, she was immediately stunned. She cried and asked, "Mother, aren't you a medical fairy?" Tell me how I can save you. ”

The girl then cried sadly: "Mother, don't leave me alone, what will I do without you?" ”

The woman caressed the girl's head lovingly, and said with difficulty: "Yue'er, you listen to your mother. My mother is actually more than 300 years old...... It is the legendary immortal cultivator...... In fact, immortal cultivators also have a lifespan, and with the immortal power of their mothers, it is barely ...... to survive until now."

In fact, there was another thing she didn't say, immortal cultivators could prolong their lives through the supply of pills, but she hadn't collected the legendary high-grade pills that changed her life against the sky in the past three hundred years.

Although her appearance has not changed, her physical functions are slowly failing. Originally, she could have lived for a few more decades, but when she went to the Western Wilderness to look for a blind elixir this time, she was injured by the guardian divine beast, and after suffering serious internal injuries, her vitality was slowly cut off, and the limit of her life came early.

The woman said, "Yue'er, my precious daughter, my mother can't bear you. How I want to see you grow up and live happily for the rest of your life......"

The girl Mingyue cried sadly when she heard this, and the woman also said sadly: "Before my mother leaves, I have something to tell you......"

Mingyue lifted her tearful face and looked at her while sobbing.

The woman hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Yue'er, thirteen years ago, my mother went to the coast of the East China Sea to look for elixirs that can delay aging, and when she passed by Penglai Immortal Island, she found you by a small river at ten o'clock in the morning. You seem to have just been born at the time, wrapped in a brocade quilt, and you only had a piece of jade with you, which is the one you wore around your neck since you were a child...... I'm sorry, my mother lied to you, in fact, my mother doesn't know who your biological father is, maybe you will know in the future. ”

The woman's breathing became a little short because she talked too much: "Yue'er, my mother has taught you most of the medical skills she has learned in her life, and you can use this as a way to make a living." After a lifetime of peace and health, my mother will be satisfied...... Over the years, in order to resettle the villagers, the mother has not saved much wealth for you. But my mother also left a few thousand taels of silver tickets for you as your dowry in the future......"

The girl hugged the woman and cried, "Mother, don't say any more." I don't want to get married, I don't want a father, I just want to be with my mother, woo woo woo ......"

"Silly boy, what woman doesn't marry? Even immortal cultivators will ....." The woman's face darkened, and she smiled bitterly: "I hope to see you grow up and put on your wedding dress...... Although you are not born to your mother, your mother has always regarded you as her own......"

Mingyue hugged the woman and cried: "Mother, whether I am your own or not, in Mingyue's heart, you are my dearest mother, and no one can replace me." ”

The woman touched the girl's head with relief, and her face suddenly flushed. She seemed to hesitate for a long time before she took out a piece of brocade handkerchief that was folded on all sides but sewn together, and gently placed it in Mingyue's hand: "My mother stopped you from learning to cultivate immortals before, so you can go if you want to go in the future...... This letter, if you are lucky enough to enter the Shushan Immortal Gate in the future, help me pass it on to a person named San Lang...... If you don't go, ...... Burn it...... Yue, how much does Ming Yuyan love you...... It's a pity that creation makes people ......," he said, and his words gradually lowered.

Mingyue looked up in horror, but saw that her mother was smiling and no longer breathing.

Mingyue mourned in her heart and went to hug her mother's body, but saw that her mother's originally black hair was instantly snow-white, her young face gradually withered and aged into the appearance of an old woman, her body gradually blurred and even disappeared, and even the clothes she was wearing turned into smoke and disappeared.

Mingyue mourned in her heart, and fainted on the side of the bed as soon as her eyes were dark.

When Mingyue woke up again, it was already early in the morning of the next day.

She was lying on her bed and saw Uncle Wang and Xiao Wu standing at the head of her bed, their eyes red and swollen, and their faces sad.

"Uncle Wang, my mother kisses her ......" Mingyue struggled to get up, hugged Uncle Wang and cried bitterly.

Xiao Wu comforted at a loss: "Mingyue, don't cry, don't cry......"

"Child, I don't worry, I came to visit early in the morning, and I saw you fainting on the ground, and there was a letter left by my aunt on the table, and I knew ......" Uncle Wang choked up and said: "Child, people can't be resurrected after death...... You have to learn to be strong......"

Mingyue cried so much that she cried for a long time before stopping.

Uncle Wang had already asked Xiao Wu to buy a white cloth and come back to decorate the mourning hall, and even hung a white cloth on the plaque at the gate.

The door of the former lively and noisy Baicaotang has been closed for the past few days, and the door is hung with white couplets, and even the pharmacy has not opened.

Mingyue closed the door and kept a vigil for her mother in the back hall. The mourning hall is located in the back hall, the coffin is parked inside, and the mourning hall is carefully arranged by Uncle Wang. In the coffin, there was only a set of her favorite clothes, hairpin ring jewelry, and a sword that she used before her death.

It was late at night, Uncle Wang was already old and went back to rest, and in the courtyard of Nuoda, only Wang Xiaowu accompanied Mingyue to keep a vigil every night.

In recent days, except for the original people from Baihua Village, few people have come to the pharmacy. Even if someone came to see a doctor to buy medicine, they would turn back because they saw the door closed.

Mingyue knelt and lowered her head to burn paper, remembering that she had been dependent on her mother since she was a child, how happy and warm she was when she and her mother were dependent on each other, and now she was left alone, and she would have to face all the things in the future in the future.

Xiao Wu saw her crying like a tearful person, her mouth opened to persuade her, but she didn't know where to start for a while. only repeated chanting: "Mingyue, the funeral will be held in a few days, you have to mourn." You will live with us in the future, and I will take good care of you. ”

Mingyue became sad again when she heard this, and she lowered her slender body to hide her face and cry bitterly, only hearing the girl's sad whimper for a while.

The days passed, the seven-day vigil passed in a flash, Uncle Wang and Xiao Wu accompanied Mingyue to the funeral for Aunt Ming, and Mingyue's mood slowly stabilized. It's just that she has been sluggish, very depressed, unwilling to go to the doctor, and unable to lift any spirits.

After more than a month like this, Uncle Wang took advantage of Wang Xiaowu to buy medicinal materials on this day, and said to Mingyue: "Yue'er, Uncle Wang watched you grow up, and Aunt Ming is very kind to the villagers, see her...... We are also sad and sad. ”

Mingyue listened to Uncle Wang's words, her eyes turned red and she lowered her head.

"Child, if your mother is still here, she must want to see you grow up happily and safely every day. People who are alive have to go on living, right? ”

Seeing that Mingyue was silent, Uncle Wang continued: "Your mother passed on her medical skills and medical hall to you, hoping that you can carry forward her medical skills and medical hall, instead of being depressed like this. If she has a spirit in heaven, and sees you so sad and depressed, her heart will be sad. ”

Mingyue glanced up at Uncle Wang, and suddenly said with tears in her eyes: "Uncle Wang, but I feel uncomfortable." My mother is gone, I have no relatives, no support, and I feel very sad and hesitant. ”

"Son, who said you don't have any relatives? When your mother was alive, we got along like a family, aren't we your relatives? Uncle Wang choked up with red eyes and said.

"Uncle Wang......" Mingyue choked up.

Uncle Wang looked at Mingyue and said lovingly: "Child, you and Wu'er grow up together, in the future, you two will take care of the medical hall together, he sells herbs, and you go to the clinic, and your life will definitely be safe and happy." ”

Mingyue nodded, and Uncle Wang said again: "You are also thirteen years old this year, and when you turn sixteen, I will do things for you." ”

Mingyue asked strangely, "Uncle Wang, do you have anything else to do with my little fifth brother?" ”

Uncle Wang smiled: "Of course it's a marriage, silly child." Men should get married, women should get married, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. You and Wu'er are childhood sweethearts, you know the roots, and Wu'er will be eighteen years old after the New Year. ”

Mingyue was dumbfounded when she heard this, it was true that she and Xiao Wu had grown up together, but she didn't have that kind of male and female affection for Xiao Wu at all, she couldn't help but say anxiously: "Uncle Wang, I just take Xiao Wu as my brother!" We really ......."

Uncle Wang smiled: "You don't have to be shy, I understand." Let's not rush yet, wait until you're a few years older. It's not too early, you go to the infirmary and keep an eye on it. In the past, our clinic only had a few days of consultation per month, but I think we can change it to a daily consultation in the future. ”

"Uncle Wang, I really don't ......" Mingyue argued, she wanted to say that she really didn't like the little fifth brother, she really didn't have a relationship between men and women for him. But Uncle Wang had already left with a happy face, and Mingyue looked at his departing back so anxiously that he stomped his feet.

Mingyue didn't go to the clinic immediately, but just opened the window of the herb shop next to the clinic to sell medicinal herbs. She looked around and saw that everything here was still the same as when her mother was there.

She still remembers that after moving here ten years ago, her mother arranged everything that day, hugged her and kissed her and said: "Good daughter, this will be our home in the future, my mother must watch you grow up happily and happily, and watch you happily marry a good family." ”

It was as if it were yesterday. Mingyue sighed deeply, forced back the tears in her eyes, and told herself that she must be strong.
