Dead Wood Village is located at the foot of a Pingtou Mountain in the north of Renjie City, and because every rainy season, the trees on the top of Pingtou Mountain are mostly struck by lightning, and from a distance, it looks like a piece of dead wood and gets its name.

As soon as Xiao Gu took Wu Qiaoyan into Deadwood Village, he met the villagers who had returned from working in the fields and carrying farm tools, and they would kindly ask Xiao Gu from afar.

"Xiao Gu, are you a guest at home?"

"Xiao Gu, is your grandfather's body better?"

"Xiao Gu, go back and come to my house to pull two vegetables and go back to make some porridge for your aunt."

Whenever this happens, Xiao Gu will respond a little shyly.

When he took Wu Qiaoyan to the low wooden house near the foot of the mountain in Deadwood Village, Wu Qiaoyan intuitively understood how poor Xiao Gu's family was.

The wooden house was clearly built a long time ago, with crooked eaves and low walls, mottled walls, and a lot of plastered walls had fallen off, and if the wind blew, there would always be a burst of wolf howling through the holes in the broken walls.

The roof is covered with a layer of thatch, and due to the perennial humidity, layers of thick moss have grown.

Standing in front of the house, they could clearly hear a heart-rending cough, which made Xiao Gu's expression suddenly a little sad, and he led Wu Qiaoyan to open the thick door curtain, and was greeted by a hot and turbid air.

Wu Qiaoyan narrowed her eyes and gradually adjusted to the dimness of the room.

The whole room is simply furnished, and there is a charcoal fire burning in the middle, and the charcoal crackles, making the whole room very hot.

But on a simple wooden bed in the west corner of the house, Xiao Gu's grandfather was covered with a thick quilt and fell asleep.

Xiao Gu carefully removed the small chair in front of Wu Qiaoyan, and he explained softly to Wu Qiaoyan: "It's my aunt who is coughing, she is stubborn and resting in the back room." ”

Wu Qiaoyan couldn't help sighing in her heart, this family, the two adults have fallen, she just wanted to ask your father, but as her eyes fixed on the table of the eight immortals in the hall, the tablet that was offered to her mouth was swallowed back.

"I'll show you your grandfather first."

After Wu Qiaoyan finished speaking, she walked straight to the bed of the little ancient grandfather, sat on the small pestle in front of the bed, and the power of nature slowly rose, turning into wisps of energy and carefully infiltrating the little ancient grandfather's body.

The symptoms of the little ancient grandfather were presented at a glance under the natural power of Wu Qiaoyan.

He was old and sick, and he was seriously injured in a fall, not only broke three ribs, but also had blood in his internal organs, plus long-term malnutrition...... Wu Qiaoyan sighed, she thought about it, took out twenty dates unique to the space from her sleeve pocket, but actually from the pendant space, put them on the small table at the head of the bed, and explained the little ancient way.

"You boil this jujube in rice porridge every day, don't put too much, your grandfather's body is weak, and he will not be replenished."

After finishing speaking, she took out another improved paralysis pill, stuffed it into Grandpa Gu's mouth, and began to prepare for bone grafting.

In the process of Wu Qiaoyan's treatment of Xiao Gu's grandfather, Xiao Gudu has been standing by and watching intently, with a pair of eyes full of curiosity and longing.

By the time Wu Qiaoyan was done, an hour had passed, and she covered her low eyes and comforted Xiao Gu: "Your grandfather will be fine, but he is old and recovers slowly, so he needs to be taken care of." ”

Xiao Gu's eyes suddenly turned red when he heard this, in vain, he knelt on the ground with a thud, and kowtowed to Wu Qiaoyan fiercely, and before Wu Qiaoyan could help him up, Xiao Gu choked up and begged: "Sister, please, go and help Xiao Gu see Xiao Gu's aunt." ”

This time, Wu Qiaoyan didn't speak, and the room condensed in vain.

Sikong Fengxuan appeared in front of her in vain, with reproach in his voice: "I don't allow it." There was a little distress in his eyes: this girl, if she didn't look at her for a while, she didn't take her body seriously, didn't she know that she was a seriously ill patient?

A person overflowing with cold air suddenly appeared in the room, which immediately startled Xiao Gu, but when he heard Sikong Fengxuan say that Wu Qiaoyan was not allowed to help him see A-Niang, all his fear was suddenly replaced by anger.

I saw that he was like a calf, burying his head and crashing into Sikong Fengxuan's body.

Suddenly, the temperature in the room cooled down, and the charcoal fire that was burning in the room completely lost its heat after two crackling sounds.

This situation suddenly shocked Wu Qiaoyan's heart - "Xiao Gu." ”

After she hurriedly grabbed Xiao Gu, she grabbed Sikong Feng Xuan's slender hand with a smile, her voice was soft and glutinous, with a coquettish meaning: "Brother Feng Xuan, I'm fine, really good, I'm just looking, I won't be reckless." ”

The cold temperature in the room was slowly warming, Sikong Fengxuan stared at the big-eyed Wu Qiaoyan in front of him, he had a little headache and didn't know what to do.

It seems that every time this girl is coquettish, he is about to compromise, Sikong Fengxuan is a little distracted and thinks, if it goes on like this, won't he be pinched to death by this girl in the future?

"Just this once, not the next one." Sikong Fengxuan still sighed in compromise and said to Wu Qiaoyan, who was looking at him with a blank eye.

Wu Qiaoyan, who was waiting for this sentence, immediately nodded: "Okay, okay, don't take it as an example." ”

As she spoke, she had already followed Xiao Gu into the back room.

The back room can almost be called a utility room, the narrow back room, only ten square meters in size, in addition to the sundries, there is only a small wooden bed left to occupy half of the room area.

However, to Wu Qiaoyan's surprise, she thought she was going to see a village woman with a sickly face.

But the patient in the room was a thin woman of about thirty years of age, with a slightly pale face, and although the woman's dress was simple, it was difficult to hide her original beautiful appearance.

"May I ask who you are?" The woman in the room covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and coughed lowly.

Wu Qiaoyan saw that she was very well educated, and when there were guests, she would suppress her cough, and even if she couldn't stand it, she would turn her body slightly sideways and cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

"Xiao Gu asked me to come and see you." Wu Qiaoyan said softly.

The woman seemed to glance at Wu Qiaoyan unexpectedly, and then she hooked her lips slightly, and looked at Wu Qiaoyan with an apologetic smile: "It's okay if you call me Aunt Ji, my child has caused you trouble, but my disease can't be cured." ”

Xiao Gu, who was standing behind Wu Qiaoyan, suddenly blocked his throat, he rushed out from behind Wu Qiaoyan sadly, threw himself into the woman's arms at once, and said in a choked voice: "A-Niang, you will be fine, my sister's medical skills are very good, she will save you." ”

As if he was afraid that his aunt would not believe him, Agu also turned his head to look at Wu Qiaoyan, and asked again to confirm: "Sister, is what Xiao Gu said right?" ”

Wu Qiaoyan smiled softly, raised her eyes and said seriously to Aunt Ji: "Aunt Ji, when Xiao Gu is still full of hope, I hope you don't give up first, because in this world, there are always people who can't let go of you even if they give up the whole world." ”

Xiao Gu A-Niang's silent heart was slammed into by these words in vain, and her lips trembled a little as she looked at the child snuggled in her arms.

"But I'm sick." She wanted to speak, but she stopped.

Wu Qiaoyan stepped forward slowly, helped her to sit, and then said open-mindedly: "I am also a terminally ill person, but I am reluctant to let the person I like or make the person who likes me sad, so even if it is difficult, I dare not say lightly if I give up, as long as I do my best, I will have no regrets." ”

Her words suddenly shocked Xiao Gu A-Niang's heart, and she couldn't believe the woman in front of her who said that she was terminally ill, but her eyebrows were calm and smiling.

She sighed: "Aunt Ji is really ashamed, but I don't know what kind of illness you are suffering from, girl, I have seen some of the market, you might as well talk about it, maybe you can find a clear way." ”

After Wu Qiaoyan heard Aunt Ji's words of concern, she couldn't help but feel funny, who is the one who sees the doctor? But she didn't mind, and generously took off the face towel, revealing the dull poisonous birthmark on the left side of her face, explaining.

"This disease was brought about by beating my mother's womb, some people say it is a poison, and I also fell into something called a soul worm, but I didn't think about giving up."

Wu Qiaoyan's understatement made the big and small mother and son in front of her stunned.

Xiao Gu couldn't have imagined that this gentle and kind big sister turned out to be a terminally ill person, but she was so warm and kind......

And Xiao Gu's mother, Aunt Ji's performance made Wu Qiaoyan stunned.

I saw Aunt Ji stand up in shock, the tears in her eyes suddenly fell, and she stretched out a pair of trembling hands to hold Wu Qiaoyan's hand tightly.

What made Wu Qiaoyan even more at a loss was that then Aunt Ji knelt down at her with a plop.

"What are you doing here? It's cold on the ground, get up quickly. Wu Qiaoyan has the power of nature in her hands, wanting to hold up Aunt Ji.

But what I didn't expect was that Aunt Ji turned out to be a master of combat power!

Suddenly, Sikong Feng Xuan, who had been waiting outside the door, suddenly flashed into the house, he took Wu Qiaoyan away from Aunt Ji, stopped at a meter away, and then looked at her with reproachful eyes.

Wu Qiaoyan understood the meaning in his eyes: Don't you have a little guarded?

But Wu Qiaoyan looked at the excited look in Aunt Ji's eyes, and she shook her head: "I didn't feel malice. ”

Then, she frowned a pair of crescent eyebrows, looked at Aunt Ji who was still kneeling on the ground and asked, "Aunt Ji?" What do you mean by that? ”

Aunt Ji had tears in her eyes, she looked at Wu Qiaoyan with relief, then pressed her hand on her chest, and waited for her excitement to be eased a little, before she solemnly kowtowed to Wu Qiaoyan: "Little Miss." ”

Wu Qiaoyan was at a loss in the face of an elder making a pious move towards her, and she asked with some hesitation: "Aunt Ji, if you have something to say, what is the matter with this little lady?" Isn't it, isn't it, you recognize the wrong person? ”

Aunt Ji 'eh-' stood up in response.

A sickly flush swelled up on her pale face because of her excitement, but she shook her head emotionally and affirmed: "No, Aunt Ji won't recognize the wrong person, is the little lady surnamed Wu?" ”

Wu Qiaoyan's expression moved slightly, and she nodded lightly.
