Chapter 46: Yecheng
At noon, the scorching sun was scorching, two embarrassed figures walked out of a mountain, two people one high and one low, a man and a woman, the tall one was Baihuang's Longmei, and the little one was a small stone, the small stone was carefully mixed with Longmei on the left, Longmei's eyebrows were furrowed, her face was pale, and her right hand protected the left ribs, and the two walked step by step towards a vague outline of the city in the distance.
The gradually deepening sunset stretched the shadows of the two of them long, and at the same time, the vague city under the sunset was getting closer and closer, Long Mei tried to open her eyes at this time, her dry lips turned up layers of dead skin, and her legs trembled step by step.
As they got closer and closer to the city, there were more and more monks passing by, some of them hurried away without paying attention, some of them followed them around them while vigilantly watching the direction of the city, and some convoys invited them to go together but were rejected by Long Mei.
Finally, after sunset, the two came to the gate of the city, and an old plaque was hung at the gate of the city, engraved with the word "Yecheng".
The city guards are the demon army guarding Ruizhou, wearing bright red armor and standing in two rows on both sides of the city gate, surrounded by a team of guards when Xiaoshi helped Long Mei into the city.
The leader of the team looked at the weak Long Mei, and then looked at the tired and stubborn little stone and asked, "Where did you come from?"
"Back ~ back to the general, the little woman took her younger brother to collect medicine on the periphery of the mountain, but she was robbed by the rogue and then by birds and beasts of prey, and escaped after fighting with all her might, and hoped that the general would let us into the city to rest. Long Mei said as she gasped.
"Oh, I don't know where my home is, what clan do I belong to?"
"My brother and sister are not clan children, my younger brother was originally a little beggar, and I also wandered by chance, so I worshiped two sisters and brothers. ”
The leader looked at Long Mei again and asked, "What bloodline are you?"
"The little woman is eccentric. Long Mei lowered her head and whispered.
"Hmph! Hybrids are mongrels, and what do you say about deviations. A guard said.
"Don't talk about that sister!" Little Stone yelled at the guard with a fist.
The guard was about to take a step forward when he was stopped by the leader's hand.
"You should know the rules when you enter the city. Said the head general.
Long Mei took out a small bag in the shape of a money bag from her bosom, handed it over and said, "This is the little girl's Qiankun bag, the general can take it." ”
"Sister, don't, that's what you desperately picked. Little Stone said and reached out to get it back, but was stopped by Long Mei.
After receiving a few herbs, the leader threw the Qiankun bag to Xiao Shishi, and then said to them: "Don't make trouble after entering the city, violating the city lord's ban will make your life worse than death!"
The remnant sun sinks in the west and the moon floats in the east, in an abandoned temple in Yedu, Long Mei and Xiao Shi found a room, after a simple cleaning, Xiao Shi helped Long Mei to the bed, Long Mei took out the Qiankun bag again, looked at the remaining herbs, picked out one or two, and said to Xiao Shi: "Crush this purple gladiolus and wrap it in a cloth in the wound, these two red ridge roots are boiled into a medicinal soup for me, and there are ......" I saw that Long Mei didn't finish speaking, and her body fainted as soon as she was soft.
"Sister Meizi, Sister Meizi!" Xiao Shi hurriedly cried, and when he saw that Long Mei did not react, he quickly picked up the herbs on the ground and found the gladiolus and red ridge roots, and did as Long Mei said.
After a while, all the gladiolus was crushed, the small stone took off a piece of cloth and wrapped it on the wound on the left rib, and after half an hour, the medicinal soup was also boiled, and he carefully fed Long Mei, after doing this, there was a herb he didn't know, and the little stone couldn't recognize what herb this was, and when he was embarrassed, a strong tiredness hit him and fell softly on Long Mei's arm.
In the dead of night, the fire that used to boil the medicine gradually went out, and suddenly a little green light appeared around the small stone, clinging to the whole body like a firefly, and then these green light points floated above Long Mei like a life, and finally the little green light turned into a few strands from the wound, mouth and nose into her body.
The morning sun cast through the dilapidated doors and windows and sprinkled on the two of them, Long Mei frowned at first, and then slowly opened her eyes, a tattered roof and old bed surrounded by her eyes, as she gradually woke up Long Mei felt the small stone on her arm, Long Mei looked at this sleeping little face, showing a smile.
As the smile stretched, tears flowed from the corners of Long Mei's eyes, and she recalled the scene in the valley that day.
When she and Senior Brother Yan probed Xiao Shi's mind in the valley that day, a divine sense said to them in the green leaves: "Xiao Shi is the chosen one, he has obtained the power to make Emperor Sui jealous, but he is still too weak to use this power, it is necessary to make Xiao Shi grow safely, this power will be detected by the Holy Capital at the beginning, in order to be safe, they must leave here quietly with Xiao Shi, and all the people they leave behind may be sacrificed." ”
Long Mei choked up when she thought of this, and the convulsions of her body immediately woke up Xiao Shi, who hurriedly got up and looked at Long Mei and said, "Sister Meizi, are you in pain? Yesterday you passed out, I don't know if the medicine is right, Sister Meizi is sorry." Little Stone cried as he spoke.
Meizi got up, leaned on the bed, wiped her tears, touched Xiaoshi's head with her hand and said, "Sister, it doesn't hurt, Xiaoshi, you are doing a good job." After Long Mei finished speaking, she wiped the tears on Xiao Shi's cheeks with her hands.
After Long Mei finished speaking, she suddenly pressed her left rib with her hand, then closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes in surprise and said to Xiao Shi: "Xiao Shi, my sister has recovered, what did you give my sister last night?"
Xiaoshi scratched it and said, "No, I just did what my sister told me." ”
"It's weird. ”
After Long Mei finished speaking, she began to meditate and breathe, as the Shengyuan of her body went back and forth to the size of the week, Long Mei's originally weak and pale complexion gradually became ruddy, and after the last week of operation, Long Mei already felt that she had recovered eighty percent.
"Sister Meizi, when you are healed, can we slowly find them back, I miss them. Little Stone asked, tilting his head.
"Stone good, they are also thinking about you, but we still have a task to complete, in fact, this time we went out of the mountain for a purpose. Long Mei said to him.
"What a task. ”
"The first step is to blend into this city, yesterday you behaved very well, go back and tell you the next task, Senior Brother Yan can tell me, if you are obedient, when you go back, you will be the head of Xiaohu and Xiaohua, and they will all listen to you." Long Mei said to him seriously.
"Sister Meizi, you know that my little stone is the most obedient!" said to Long Mei with his chest puffed.
"Little stone is hungry, go and my sister will take you to eat something delicious. ”
"Command!hee-hee~"
