Chapter 3 The village recuperates
The sun rises and sets, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and most of the half year passes quickly. Under Aunt Ming's careful care, the boy was able to get out of bed and walk slowly.
Baihua Village is a small, isolated village surrounded by dense forests and high mountains, hidden deep in the mountains. The people here are quaint, the villagers live by hunting and simple farming, they are simple and friendly, and their hearts are simple and kind.
After staying for so long, the young man roughly understood that Aunt Ming was a master of the world, and no one knew her real name, where she came from, how old she was, and where she was taught.
But the young man knew that she not only had superb medical skills, but also exquisite swordsmanship, and could fly with a sword.
All the masters who have cultivated immortals and attained the Tao look very young, but in fact they may be hundreds of years old.
Some people, for various reasons, live in seclusion in the mountains, and may have their last resort, or even secrets. Why Aunt Ming took Xiao'er to live in seclusion in this deep mountain and old forest, the young man does not know. What he has to do now is to cooperate with Aunt Ming's treatment and recover as soon as possible.
The young man was dressed in coarse white clothes, and he meditated on a peach blossom tree. The sun is shining, the peach is dying, scorching, and the small mountain village is picturesque. The boy also noticed that the small wooden house where Aunt Ming lived, the flowers and plants outside were particularly luxuriant, and the flowers and plants around them were like eating some kind of panacea, growing wildly one after another.
Maybe it's because the feng shui here is particularly good? The boy thought puzzled.
The young man's black hair was like ink, flying in the wind, and his thin back was straight. Although the young man was dressed in coarse cloth and had hideous scars on his face, his narrow phoenix eyes were radiant, and his body exuded a natural elegance and nobility and a domineering spirit that was not angry but mighty.
In front of the young man, there was a man in black kneeling at this time, the man in black was dressed in black and pants, tall and mighty, dignified in appearance, his eyes were shimmered and introverted, and he looked very capable.
The man in black said respectfully: "Lord, Du You has checked, and the person who plotted against you this time is the sixth prince Feng Yuchen. Let's see if you want to ......" After speaking, he made a gesture of chopping off his head.
More than half a year ago, the boy and the sixth prince Feng Yuchen went on an envoy to the Northern Turkic Empire. On the way back, the smiling Six Princes actually took advantage of his illness to kill him. Even if he is a patient with a stubborn disease, he is regarded by the six princes as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and he wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.
The young man was silent for a long time, and replied coldly: "The sixth prince Caobaoer, don't be afraid. The immediate need is to cure the stubborn disease. Perhaps, Shushan Xianmen is a good choice......"
Du You's eyes suddenly burst with infinite hope, and he said excitedly: "Lord, there are still a few months before the recruitment conference of Shushan Immortal Gate, why don't you?" ”
The young man nodded: "If the stubborn disease is not cured, this king will only have ten years to live, and everything will become a cloud of smoke." It's still early, and it's not too late to wait for this king to heal from his injuries. ”
"Ninth brother, ninth brother, where are you? A milky child's voice sounded. The two glanced at each other, and Du You said respectfully: "Lord, go and arrange the departure of the Lord." After speaking, Du You turned his head and disappeared into the depths of the peach forest out of thin air.
The young man turned his head, his slender phoenix eyes full of smiles, and looked at the small figure rushing in the distance.
At this time, the little girl ran too quickly, and her pink and crystal face was pink.
Ever since he was able to walk on the ground, the little girl Xiao'er was like a little follower, and she followed him closely wherever he went.
He was doing rehabilitation walking training in the yard, and she held his arm and walked slowly, walking round and round, her little face was red in the sun, and she was not tired at all.
He sat under the peach blossom tree and read, she would run and catch little butterflies on her short legs, and laughter sprinkled all over the small peach forest, making him feel warm in his heart.
He went to the mountains to help the woman chop wood, and she would jump up and down to help him pack up the bindings. He chopped wood, and she climbed a small tree like a little monkey on the side, or picked a handful of colorful wildflowers, made a wreath and put it on her head, and ran to him and asked, "Brother Jiu, do I look like a little fairy?" ”
He would touch her white and tender little face and smile: "Xiao'er is a little fairy." The little girl giggled happily, and the laughter infected the whole forest.
When he practiced swords, she would also take out the small bamboo sword that her mother had sharpened for her, and follow his moves to dance the sword moves decently. He would wipe the sweat off her face and bring her a scoop of water for her to drink.
After drinking, the little girl smiled and said, "The water is so sweet." He took a sip of it in confusion and found that the water still had the same light taste.
She is like a beautiful elf who adds colorful colors to his black and white life, makes his life vivid and interesting, and makes him feel warmth that he has never felt before.
Xiao'er once said to him: "Brother Jiu, I heard that cultivating immortals is very interesting, let's go to Shushan to cultivate immortals together in the future, right?" ”
He replied, "Okay, I'll take Xiao'er to Shushan to cultivate immortals." The little girl smiled as brightly as a flower.
As soon as the young man thought of the little girl Xiao'er jumping up and down and following him to have fun, a wave of warmth surged in his cold heart.
The boy was born into a noble royal family and had more than twenty half-siblings. However, he never felt the warmth between siblings.
He was poisoned "drunk peach blossoms" since he was a child, causing the skin on his face to fester, his appearance to be ugly, and his whole body exuded a foul smell. When everyone saw him, they would look at him with fear and contempt, for fear of being infected.
He has no friends since he was a child, lonely, sensitive and sad, and his small chest is full of stubbornness.
The royal family has never had family affection to speak of, and he has long understood this truth. Don't say that his brothers and sisters alienated and framed him for the sake of power struggles, even his father never waited to see him. Since he was a child, he has known what the world is hot and cold, and the warmth and coldness of people.
Therefore, he has been self-reliant since he was a child, and the torture of ninja illness, he not only learned to be rich and rich, quite literate, and practiced internal skills since he was a child, and his swordsmanship was exquisite.
Even if he was low-key and forbearing, tortured by the virus every day, and poisoned deeply, even if he died shortly, he was hunted down by his half-brother and almost lost his life.
The young man sneered in his heart, his slender phoenix eyes looking at the distant mountains were full of coldness, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, he couldn't give up on himself.
However, in such a backward mountain village, he met two strangers who were closer to him than his relatives, Aunt Ming and the little girl Xiao'er, who never abandoned him and tried their best to help him continue his life. Aunt Ming went to the mountains every day to collect medicine to help him heal his wounds and eliminate malice.
Xiao'er not only didn't think he was ugly, but also stuck to him happily all day long, letting him hold or carry or hold hands, so that he could experience the satisfaction of being needed, the responsibility of a brother, the thoughtfulness of a family, and the care of a friend.
He liked this innocent little girl from the bottom of his heart. He vows that if he is still alive in ten years, he will definitely come back to find Xiao'er, be her brother, and protect her.
