Chapter 638: A Tree Without Roots

"I can't help it, my father fell and injured his waist, so I had to go into the mountains to collect medicine, how could I have thought that I would meet bandits? I don't know how my dad is doing at home? Miss Hong'er's stern concern for Tianchu not only did not reject it, but she was a little flattered and frightened, pouting and saying as if she was very aggrieved, in fact, she was quite happy in her heart.

"Did you pick your herbs?" At the beginning of the day, he asked.

"No, this herb is very difficult to come across, otherwise I wouldn't have gone so far, let's go home first to see how my father is doing, by the way, you are also recuperating at my house, I'll see what herbs are needed, and pick them again." Miss Hong'er intended.

"What grass is so hard to pick? I have a younger sister who is also a little bit of medicine, and she always carries some herbs with her, maybe she has it, if you are in a hurry, we can go to her. "Tian Chu is a warm-hearted person, this girl helped him, and he also wanted to help her.

"Do you have a younger sister? You're really interesting, you're a Taoist leader, you're out and about, with a female apprentice, and a little junior sister, hehehehe......" Hong'er squinted at Tianchu and smiled maliciously.

"What are you thinking, it's not just the three of us, I also have three male apprentices, there are seven or eight of us in total, but we are temporarily separated for something." Tianchu hurriedly explained.

"Look at you in a hurry, you're quite interesting, it's different from the Taoist priests I've seen, look at you like this, I don't know what you look like, are you more like a good person, or more like a bad person? Hee-hee. "This Hong'er girl always teases Tianchu, who is lonely and widowed along the way, Tianchu doesn't feel embarrassed.

"Okay, don't talk about me, tell me what the herb you're looking for?" Tianchu felt that this little girl was too naughty, and he didn't want to listen to her foolish teasing anymore, so he quickly changed the topic again.

"This medicine is called rootless vine, and it is a special elixir for back injuries." Miss Hong'er explained seriously.

When Tianchu heard the name of this medicine, he was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Rootless vine?" Is it rootless? ”

"Oh, you don't know this grass, then I'll tell you, rootless vine, also called dodder seed, this is a parasitic plant, it has neither leaves nor roots, after germination, it will look for a host, as soon as it finds a target, it will be pulled from the ground and crawl onto the host's body, completely adsorbed on the host to absorb nutrients and live, and will grow into a large piece, as long as it is entangled, those plants will only die." Hong'er explained to Tianchu.

"It's amazing, there are really rootless plants in this world, so it's what I'm looking for!" Tian Chu was excited after hearing this.

"It turns out that you also have to find rootless vines, that's easy to do, I'll just bring you some when I pick them, and you can take care of your injuries at my house." Hong'er has a big bag.

"Thank you so much, Miss Hong'er." Tianchu wanted to thank him, but he forgot that he couldn't move that arm, so he had to give up.

Along the way, I was very happy at the beginning of the day, although I broke an arm, but I saved a lot of people, although this girl was not Hong'er, but she accidentally got a clue to the tree without roots, and it was a blessing in disguise.

The two walked for two hours on the mountain road, and finally arrived at Miss Hong'er's house.

Miss Hong'er's home is not in the village, but in the mountains, no wonder the bandits can't find her home.

Miss Hong'er's home is very simple, a small house, a small yard, and the yard is full of various medicinal herbs, simple and warm.

"Daddy! I am back! Miss Hong'er pushed open the courtyard door, and ran into the house shouting happily, regardless of the beginning of the day.

Tianchu was still walking slowly, when he suddenly heard a scream in the house, and then he heard the Hong'er girl crying loudly, so frightened that Tianchu ignored the pain of the wound, and ran into the house in three steps and two steps.

I saw Miss Hong'er kneeling on the ground, holding a piece of paper in her hand, and threw herself on the old man who was sitting on a chair with his back to the door, crying incessantly.

Tian Chu walked into the house in surprise, went around to the front of the old man, couldn't help but cover his mouth, suppressed the panic in his heart, and carefully looked at the old man's situation.

I saw that the old man's face was blue, his lips were purple, he was already a little out of shape, and he looked like he had been dead for several days, but the strange thing was that his demeanor was very peaceful, and the old man was neatly dressed, and his hair was meticulously combed, not at all like he had been killed.

"Your father ...... him" Tianchu wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to speak.

Hong'er couldn't cry, handed the paper in his hand to Tianchu, Tianchu shook the paper with one hand, let the paper open, and after seeing the content of the letter, Tianchu couldn't help but have a sour nose, red circles under his eyes, and let out a long sigh.

This letter was written by Hong'er's father to his daughter, and the content of the letter roughly said that he fell from a high place because of rock climbing and medicine collection, broke his waist, and had become a waste, but Hong'er refused to give up, the old man knew that he couldn't be cured, and he didn't want to drag his daughter down, so when his daughter left home, he took poison alone.

Tianchu really didn't know how to comfort Hong'er, so she could only cry enough, and when she cried enough, Tianchu accompanied her and buried the old man.

After cleaning up, it was already dark, if the old man was still alive, no need for Hong'er to say, Tianchu would also ask to spend the night here, but now there is Hong'er and a little girl left in the house, and Tianchu can't stay, which is not in line with the rules.

But Hong'er is so pitiful, her father just left, she was alone, and she was a little girl, she was very timid, she didn't say anything to let Tianchu go, Tianchu wanted to leave, she followed, Tianchu had no choice but to stay with her, but Tianchu said clearly, it was okay to stay, but he couldn't enter the house, he moved a chair, and planned to keep vigil for Hong'er outside at night.

Tianchu was injured, and the night was cold, Miss Hong'er knew some medical skills, and knew that this would hurt Tianchu's body a lot, how could she bear to let Tianchu suffer for herself, she didn't care about those rules and regulations, she had to let Tianchu enter the house.

Although Tianchu is easy to speak, he is also very principled, like this situation, he will not compromise on anything, and finally Hong'er dropped a big fool and slammed the door into the house.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and the Hong'er girl smiled, ran over, and teased Tianchu while opening the door: "How is it?" Regret it, right? Let you in early, you won't come in! ”

"Miss Hong'er, you misunderstood, I just want to borrow Ling Zun's clothes from you to wear, this clothes are too dirty and uncomfortable, I will wear them for one night, and I will return them to you as soon as the clothes are dry tomorrow." Tianchu still didn't enter the house, but stood outside and said.

Hong'er stood in the door, snorted, turned around and took out a set of clothes and a quilt and threw them on Tianchu's face, and then slammed the door shut.
