Chapter 5: Journey to the Palace
Since I became a human being, I will go to the Yinyang Cave to lie on the ice couch or sit for a few hours every day, just to get out as soon as possible, after all, I came to the world to travel.
On this night, the North Poppy had something to go out, and I sat alone in the pavilion looking at the cloudy moon, the bright moonlight illuminated the earth, and it was also a night like this when I first met the North Poppy.
I don't know when Bei Poppy will come back, so he took off his white cloak and draped it over me and said, "It's late spring, but the night is still a little cold, don't catch a cold." ”
I came back to my senses and said, "You're back, can I tell you about Qingqiu and how I came to the world?" ”
Bei Poppy smiled: "I've been waiting for you to tell me about this, I want to know Xue Qi's past, and if I can, I want to participate in the future." ”
I really didn't understand Bei Poppy's words, so I didn't pick it up, but just talked about Qingqiu.
As I spoke, he listened carefully, for fear of missing a single detail, and before I knew it, the moon had sunk.
The days passed quickly, in a blink of an eye, the lotus flowers in the pond bloomed, delicate and gorgeous, the breeze blew, swaying the body, and the faint fragrance of flowers was fragrant.
I still came out of the yin and yang hole as usual, through the sea of flowers, flowers of various colors also bloomed together, I wanted to pick a few back and insert them, just wanted to pick the daisy and touched the cold thing, I saw that it was a little green snake, and before I could react, it had already bitten a bite on my hand and ran.
I had never seen such a snake, thinking that it was not very poisonous, so I took out a handkerchief and tied it at the bracelet, thinking about going back to get the silver needle, but this little snake was quite poisonous, my arm was so painful that I was sweating, and my dizziness felt like I was stepping on cotton, and every step was shaking.
Fortunately, Bei Poppy, who was reading in the pavilion, saw that I was walking unsteadily, and immediately came to me, and when he saw my hand, he drew a knife and made a cut between the two mouths left by the snake, and injected a stream of air into my shoulder, flushing out the black blood. After a while, he nervously picked me up and went to his bedroom, put me on the jade bed, and very skillfully drugged me, and wiped the sweat from my face with a basin of water.
I looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you for saving me again and again, I always seem to get you in trouble."
Bei Poppy gently touched my face and said: "You and I never have to say thank you, you are the thumb green snake venom, this snake is very small, but it is very poisonous, fortunately the poisoning time is not long, otherwise you have to lie down for a few days." Okay, go to sleep, I'm right here. ”
I was so dizzy that I couldn't think about why I was able to enter the North Poppy room, so I just nodded and closed my eyes.
When I woke up again, it was already midnight, and when I got up, I saw Bei Poppy reading a book at the desk. Seeing that I was awake, he quickly put down his book and sat down beside me, and said worriedly, "Do you feel better?" Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable with? ”
I looked at him with red eyes and said, "It's not uncomfortable, it's good to have you, you're like my brother." ”
Bei Poppy smiled, patted my arm lightly and said, "Okay, why are you still like a child, sleep again." ”
I got up to go out.
"I'll go to my room and sleep, you can sleep."
Bei Poppy pulled me anxiously, "You can sleep here tonight, if you are worried about me, then ...... Or if you go inside, this bed is big enough, and I'll lie next to you. ”
I looked at the bed, then at him, and unconsciously moved in, and he took off his white boots and lay down, turned to me, and said, "Then you should feel better, sleep!" ”
I was a little embarrassed, but I didn't refute it, nodded and turned to sleep.
In the morning, Bei Poppy was not there next to me, and after I got up and got out of bed, I opened the door and was startled, it was Cui Yu waiting outside the dormitory.
I looked at her in surprise, and she also looked at me with incredible eyes and said, "Your Excellency has something to go out and tell me to take care of you." After the face wash is ready, go wash your face first. ”
I touched my face in embarrassment and said, "Oh, oh...... Good. ”
Cui Yu kept looking at me, and after breakfast, I was a little embarrassed by her eyes, so I said, "Master Nantang can go and get busy first." ”
Cui Yu said: "You don't have to call me hall master, just call me Cui Yu, and the Venerable wants me to take care of you, naturally there are no other important things, and the matter of Xue Qi girl is the most important." ”
I pursed my lips and said, "Oh, that...... In fact...... I ......"
"Snow Maiden doesn't have to say anything, Cui Yu knows."
"Ahh You know, oh, well! ”
Cuiyu and I were sitting in the pavilion, I was looking at the lotus, and Cuiyu was looking at me.
In the evening, Bei Poppy returned, and Cuiyu immediately stood up and bowed, "Lord."
I also shouted happily, "North poppy", finally someone can save me, and I don't have to sit like this anymore.
Bei Poppy said to Cuiyu: "Let's go and prepare dinner."
Cui Yu agreed and withdrew.
Bei Poppy took my hand and looked at it, and said, "Does it still hurt badly?" ”
I shook my head and said, "It doesn't hurt much, I can take care of myself without Cuiyu taking care of it." ”
Bei Poppy frowned and said, "Is Cuiyu not taking care of it?" ”
I quickly waved my hand and said, "No, no, it's that I'm not used to being taken care of like this." ”
Bei Poppy smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to eat." With that, he took me by the hand and walked to the table.
Half a month later, I was able to freely transform my human body and my real body, and Annai couldn't help but run excitedly to tell Bei Poppy.
Bei Poppy's calm expression was mixed with a vague unpleasant expression: "Can you really transform?"
I nodded affirmatively, and instantly conjured back into the spirit fox, and then back into human form. said: "No, I didn't lie to you!" ”
Bei Poppy smiled and said, "Hmm"
"In this way, I can travel the world and see the colorful world."
I excitedly pulled Bei Poppy's arm and said, "Bei Poppy, I'll leave the day after tomorrow, thank you for taking care of me, you are my first friend in the world, I am very grateful to you." ”
"Friends? In Xiao Qi's heart, am I just a friend? ”
"For example, my brother is also a very important friend, as long as it is your business in the future, I will never give up."
Then, I took off the chain in my hand and put it in Bei Poppy's hand and said: "I don't know when we will meet again in the future, this is what my brother gave me, the blue spirit stone of Qingqiu Nanshan, press the purple one, and the rest of the blue spirit stones can emit a strong light in a dark place, although it can't be as bright as day, but it can also illuminate the feet." ”
Bei Poppy held the bracelet tightly and muttered to himself: "Well, I don't want Xiao Qi to die to me, I just want to hug you all the time."
He hugged me in his arms with great tenderness, and I hesitated for a moment before holding him around my arms.
It must have been me with him for a long time, and he was reluctant to let me go. It seems that this Northern Poppy is also a man of temperament.
Three days passed quickly, and I packed up my things and put them in the spirit bag, which shrunk to the size of a sachet and hung it around my waist.
Today, Bei Poppy is lazy, and now the door is closed, I knocked on the door of Bei Poppy, the door of the room opened, and there were bloodshot in Bei Poppy's eyes, thinking that he hadn't slept all night.
"Bei Poppy, I'm leaving, stay up less late in the future."
Bei Poppy pulled me and said, "You don't need to transform into a real body, let's go like this, I'll send you out." ”
I was confused for a moment, then nodded.
Along the way, Bei Poppy didn't say anything, and when I arrived at the gate of the palace, I said, "Just send it here."
Bei Poppy suddenly hugged me tightly and said, "With your jaws, you can go to any pawnshop with 'night' and 'moon' to withdraw silver taels, and if you want to come back, go to the pawnshop and let someone take you back." ”
I happily patted him on the back and said, "Okay, remember, I'll come back to you when I travel." ”
Bei Poppy let go and said: "Go, the rivers and lakes are sinister, be careful." ”
I was suddenly made to cry by the North Poppy, and he loved me like a father in the world, and he was a little reluctant, but he also held back his tears and said: "Well, I will take care of myself, and so will you." He turned and walked into the woods.
It's always the saddest time to part.
Come to the village at the bottom of the mountain, look at the dazzling array of goods, look east and west.
"Sugar gourd, sugar gourd... Sweet and sour sugar gourd," cried the vendor.
I looked at it and swallowed my saliva and said, "Boss, I want a string of sugar gourds." ”
"Okay, take the little girl."
After giving the boss money, he said, "Thank you, boss."
I happily ate sugar gourds while walking, and when I came to the door of a pharmacy, I saw a ten-year-old child kneeling and pulling an old man's shirt and crying: "Doctor Yang, please save my mother, she is my only relative, I will repay you as a cow and a horse." ”
The doctor said: "Child, it's not that I can't save it, it's that I can't help it, I promised you to visit your mother, but I can't really cure her symptoms." ”
The child cried: "Even you are helpless, so what can I do to save my mother?"
There were more and more onlookers, and the child sat on the ground and cried while wiping tears with his sleeve.
One of the onlookers said, "Hey! Even the most famous doctor in our town, Old Doctor Yang, has nothing to do, it is really powerless, and he pities the child. ”
The onlookers nodded approvingly.
I squeezed through the crowd and stretched out my hand to the child and said, "Kid, if you believe me, I can try." ”
The onlookers were incredible, and a middle-aged man said: "A young girl can cure a disease that even the old doctor can't do, it's really beyond her power." ”
The boy wiped away his tears, stood up, looked at me like a straw and said, "Sister, go quickly." ”
I was dragged by the boy and trotted all the way to a house with three thatched huts surrounded by a bamboo fence.
The boy led me to the leftmost room, where I saw a woman in her prime lying on a shabby bed, her eyes slightly open and her eyes glazed over.
I sat on the edge of her bed, checked her pulse, pulled down her collar, and saw a dense patch of abscesses the size of copper coins, with her sleeves pulled up and on her arms.
These abscesses must have been around for some time, dripping with yellow water, and still having this high fever.
"What's your name, little friend?"
The child said, "Happy Dream." ”
I nodded and said, "Lemeng, do you know the Nine Carp Flower?" It is a vine that grows on plants near water, with slender leaves and yellow flowers. I saw this plant at the water's edge when I was descending the mountain. ”
Le Meng said: "I will follow what my sister said and look for it." ”
"Okay, be careful." He took out the silver needle bag in the spirit bag and administered the needle to her.
After a long time, Le Meng came back and panted: "Sister, is this the case?" ”
I took it and looked at it carefully, smiled and said, "Yes, that's it, you're such a smart kid." Go wash it, then everyone boils, and the guy boils it for half an hour and lets it cool. ”
Le Meng brought in the cold nine carp flower water, and I handed him the written prescription and silver taels, and said, "You go to the pharmacy and grab the medicine according to this list." ”
He took it with a little shaky hand: "Thank you, sister."
I gently took off the woman's clothes, carefully scrubbed her with boiled nine carp water, and after washing, found her a tulle coat of her own for her to wear.
At this time, Le Meng also returned.
"You take care of your mother first, and I'll decoct the medicine."
Every day, the woman was given needles and scrubbed her body, and after taking the medicine, she gradually improved, and the abscesses on her body had scabbed.
Looking at the woman who is getting better and better, it's time for me to leave.
Le Meng and her mother thanked her for a thousand kindnesses, but I was at a loss.
Actually, what I'm most afraid of is this kind of thanksgiving scene.
"I think it's our fate, so we don't have to say thank you."
