74 - Red plum in blood
Cheng Xiu handed Yun Xiang into the hands of the evil crow, squatted down, and let himself and the little girl reach a height.
"I'm sorry, we shouldn't have broken into your house, but this big sister is seriously injured and needs to be treated with immortal medicine, can you help us?" Cheng Xiu said sincerely, he took out a navy blue handkerchief from his pocket, put it on the ground, picked up the little girl's feet, and let her step on the handkerchief.
"Oh, you're here to find the red plum in the blood." The little girl said that she was not afraid of Cheng Xiu at all, and let Cheng Xiu pick her up and wipe her little feet clean.
Her eyes rolled around, fixed on the purple and white clothes who were being held behind her. She suddenly said, "If you want to play with me, I'll take you to find the red plum in the blood." ”
"Is this red plum in the blood the magic medicine that the informant said?" Cheng Xiu asked the person behind him, and the person behind him hesitated for a moment and didn't dare to answer.
"You don't believe me!" The little girl was very angry and crossed her waist, and her eyes were round.
"Big sister is really sick." Cheng Xiu said that before he finished speaking, the little girl shouted angrily: "I don't care about me, you have to play with me, otherwise I will let the grandfathers drive you out." ”
Raven remembered the four white-bearded old men at the gates, and then at the hourglass that had almost reached the end, and knew that there was no time.
"Then let's play, whoever finds the magic medicine first!" Ziyi suddenly became smarter, winked at the little girl and proposed.
"Don't, no, it's not fun at all." The little girl made a fuss.
Strings of ceremonial flowers suddenly appeared outside the main city, blooming in the air one after another, and the little girl's eyes were suddenly attracted to it, and the sky outside the towering walls of the main city tower was in a daze.
Ziyi knew this kind of longing eyes best, she had seen it countless times in Baiyi's eyes, and even she herself had revealed such a strong desire for the sky countless times.
It was a caged bird, a desire to fly.
"Otherwise, you take us to find the medicine, and we will take you out of here." Purple said, like the vicious queen who tempted Snow White to bite the poisonous apple. "It's so lively outside, how pitiful it is to be locked up here forever."
"No way!" The little girl suddenly became irritable, struggling to jump out of Cheng Xiu's arms with her hands and feet. She walked away without looking back.
"Keep up." Cheng Xiu said.
He glanced at his arm, which had been smoked by the flower poison and turned black and purple. He looked at the crow, the crow frowned, his condition was even more serious than Cheng Xiu's.
The group dragged the body that had been poisoned purple-red with difficulty to keep up with the little girl who ran and disappeared.
She followed and found that she didn't go far, she was afraid that they wouldn't follow, she sat at the door and looked at them from afar, she had a sad little expression, and asked Cheng Xiu in disbelief: "Will you take me out if you really cure the big sister?" ”
"Of course." Cheng Xiu squatted down and picked her up again. "I won't lie to you."
"It's a deal! You must take Ya'er out to play! The little girl said excitedly, her eyes were full of longing for the outside world, she secretly glanced at the purple and white, and said nervously, "Will these two fools still play with me?" ”
Cheng Xiu looked at the purple clothes and the white clothes, and the white clothes said, "As long as you don't call us stupid." ”
The little girl cheered happily, and after she was happy, she looked at Cheng Xiu's face and pointed to a pot of tea on the table in the room, and said, "My father said that I can play in the main city if I drink that tea, since you promised to take me out to play, I will be merciful and let you drink it." ”
Cheng Xiu's eyes lit up, he immediately picked up the teapot and poured a cup, and gave Yun Xiang to drink it slowly, he didn't drink it right away, but let the most serious crow drink it.
The other people of the Yun family also slowly lined up to drink this detoxifying tea, and the black purple color of their bodies slowly subsided.
"But this little bit of tea can't last long, and we have to hurry up." The crow said, and the feeling of the fairy power slowly returning to his body made him regain his spirit, and his walking speed became faster.
The little girl was hugged by Cheng Xiu and guided them into the secret passage of the main city tower.
"This is Daddy's secret base, and it's also Aya's secret base." "He never let me play with anyone else, and he never let me go out of the main city. ”
Cheng Xiu rubbed Aya's head distressedly, and Aya drilled into Cheng Xiu's arms, coveting his rare tenderness. I didn't expect this big brother with a terrible face to be so gentle and speak in a good voice. She looked sideways at Cheng Xiu's handsome face, children are the most honest, and he felt that Cheng Xiu was the most handsome brother he had ever seen.
It didn't take long to walk, and I came to the end of the dark passage, here is a very dark dark room, when I first entered, there was no light at all, Aya didn't let them light the lamp, and after a while, there was a kind of firefly that glowed blue because of the alarm of the human voice, fluttered and flew up, and actually lit up this dark room.
Only then did everyone see the structure of the entire darkroom.
This is a super large basement, as large as twenty rooms, and the roof of the dark room is also very high, because the city lord actually planted a tree more than three meters high in this dark room, this tree is surprisingly lush, full of golden thumb-sized fruits, there are many fireflies flying around it, it should be the one who feeds the fireflies in this entire dark room.
The entire dark room was filled with all kinds of rare herbs, and the crow couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he looked at it, "This is really a treasure." ”
"yes, my dad is amazing!" Aya proudly raised her cute little face, she was very eager to move forward, and pulled Cheng Xiu to point forward, "The red plum in the blood you want is there." ”
Cheng Xiu took a few big strides forward, and in front of the big tree in the atrium, there was a pool, and in the pool grew a withered plum blossom that looked like it had withered for a long time.
The pool is a circle half a meter in diameter, and there are two red fish in it, swimming leisurely in the water, probably not seeing the light, and their eyes have slowly become blind and white.
Cheng Xiu looked helplessly at the crow for the first time.
The crow carried the cloud on his back and lay it flat on the clean ground.
Aya leaned over curiously, this big sister seemed to be asleep, breathing softly, and had been sleeping quietly.
"Red plums in blood, that must be light with blood." The crow said, and with a stroke of his hand, a few drops of bright red blood fell into the pool, and almost instantly, the two blood-red fish swam over and sucked the blood straight into his stomach.
The crow's eyes lit up, and immediately the wound opened wider, and more blood flowed, and the two fish greedily sucked the crow's blood. Slowly, a black and red substance seeped out of the fish's body. The wilted plum branch slowly stood up.
Cheng Xiu took a step forward and separated his wrist without hesitation, and more blood fell into the pool.
"Aya, come here."
Suddenly, in the darkness, a deep male voice was heard.
Everyone was startled, and immediately looked in the direction of the sound, and at some point appeared in the darkness a burly man, holding a hoe in his hand, his face was very serious, with a sense of anger, like the low pressure before a storm.
"Daddy..."Aya hid behind Cheng Xiu in fear.
Cheng Xiu looked at him very calmly, the movements in his hands did not mean to stop, and the finger behind his back pointed to Yun Xiang's position.
Seeing that the withered plum tree had bloomed with a visible bud, the crow slowly wiped the blood from his hands.
"Divine beasts?"
The man could tell the raven's true identity with just one glance.
"I'm sorry we forced our way in, but we really need this one to save my important life." Cheng Xiu said that he bowed deeply to the man, this man was Aya's father, the City Lord of Medicine City.
Cheng Xiu had heard of the city lord of the medicine city, and the legend was that he was an alchemist of orange and others, and there were a lot of treasured Tibetan medicines at home, but because the city lord building was extremely dangerous, the people who came to steal the medicine had no return. Because this time they were lucky enough to meet Aya and drank a cup of tea to relieve flower poison, so they didn't die at the gate of the main city.
"If anyone comes, I'll give him the medicine, won't my medicine city become a charity?" The city lord had a gloomy face, staring at the girl who was still sleeping on the ground, he had never seen this girl, but he had a little impression of Cheng Xiu, "The eldest young master of the Cheng family? ”
Cheng Xiu didn't expect the city lord to recognize him.
"The lord of the castle actually recognizes a useless person like me." Cheng Xiu said, after he finished speaking, his eyes were dark, he lost too much blood, he couldn't bear it anymore, he couldn't stand, he fell into the pool, half of his body was soaked in the water, and the two fish greedily swam to Cheng Xiu's wound and sucked blood frantically at his wound.
And the flower bones on the plum tree finally bloomed the first scarlet flower, which looked terrifyingly dark purple under the blue fluorescence.
Almost instantly, the crow waved off the red plum and teleported to Yun Xiang's side.
The city lord is not a vegetarian, and in the main city full of flower poison, the more powerful the person, the stronger the use of immortal power to rebound to himself.
The evil crow felt that his entire body was pierced by invisible spikes, and he knelt beside Yun Xiang, and the red plum in the blood in his hand couldn't be caught, and fell in front of Yun Xiang.
"Aya!" The lord of the castle shouted angrily.
Aya was too scared to move.
As soon as the crow hand caught the city lord and struck with all his might, the herbs along the way were all blown away, and the fireflies in the entire dark room were frightened and flew around.
Cheng Xiu gritted his teeth and got up, tore off his clothes and bandaged them briefly, and stood in front of the city lord. When Aya saw him get up, she immediately ran over crying and hid behind him.
"Good, go and wait at my sister's." Cheng Xiu rubbed her head, Aya nodded with tears, ran to Yun Xiang's side and sat down obediently.
