Volume 1 Scarlet Jade Pendant Chapter 13 The Shade of the Tree
After walking a small road, Xiao Beichen continued to follow Liu Chunying.
At this time, the two of them were still speechless.
Xiao Beichen was the first to break the silence and slowly asked.
"That girl just now, what did you mean by 'Haran'?"
"Huh? It's nothing! She suddenly flushed her cheeks and hurriedly pointed forward: "Here!" It's here! ”
Xiao Beichen looked up at the old gate, and saw the plaque under the eaves hanging the word "Xuezhai".
He followed Liu Chunying across the threshold into the courtyard, and the sound of Lang Lang reading kept coming from the room, loud and crisp.
"Mr. Xu! He's awake, please take the medicine off him. She lifted the curtains and preached into the room.
"Okay, I got it."
Xu Wenzhou nodded and put down the book in his hand.
He motioned for the children to continue reciting, and then walked out of the house.
Xu Wenzhou came to the courtyard, looked at Xiao Beichen a little, and smiled slightly.
"Come with me." He walked slowly to the side room.
"Oh."
Xiao Beichen responded, and just wanted to follow, but was stopped by Liu Chunying.
"I'm going to help my mother pick tea first, right on the slope of that tea mountain. If there's something in the village that you don't understand, come to me. ”
"yes, okay."
He nodded in response, and then followed Xu Wenzhou's footsteps.
As soon as Xiao Beichen entered the door, the large medicine cabinet as high as the wall directly occupied his eyes.
The strong smell of medicinal herbs completely filled Xiao Beichen's nostrils at this moment.
Xu Wenzhou opened one cabinet after another, selecting medicinal materials.
He looked at Xu Wenzhou's back and exclaimed in a low voice.
"I'm both a teacher and a doctor."
"What about you?" Xu Wenzhou turned his head slightly and responded softly: "He is not only a young man in the rivers and lakes, but also a son of the general?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Beichen's brows immediately furrowed, and he looked at him with a somewhat wary expression.
Xu Wenzhou seemed to realize that the atmosphere was wrong, and immediately laughed.
"Hahaha! Is it wrong? I'm just guessing. ”
"That's right." Xiao Beichen smiled calmly and asked softly: "I didn't expect that in such a small village, there would be a gentleman like you." ”
At this time, Xu Wenzhou carried the scale, and said to Xiao Beichen while distributing medicinal materials.
"The green mountains and clear waters here, the topography is excellent, and it is very suitable for medicine collection and research. In return, I taught them literacy and basic pharmacology. ”
Xiao Beichen was in awe and looked at him with admiration.
"Mr. Xu, you are really good."
"Just do your job." He whispered back.
After a while, Xu Wenzhou wrapped the medicine and sent it to Xiao Beichen.
"Xiao Beichen, take this medicine three times a day, a total of five days, continue to come to me tomorrow to get it."
"Five days?! Can't you wrap it all up for me? He asked anxiously.
"No, take the medicine slowly." Xu Wenzhou replied solemnly.
Xiao Beichen couldn't wait to take the medicine and leave here now, but considering the painful wounds all over his body, he had to stay.
Suddenly, Xu Wenzhou looked at Xiao Beichen and said softly.
"By the way, you warbler..."
"Have you seen it?" He immediately asked.
"Well, it's funny. At this time, it should be flying around the streets. ”
"Thanks!" He quickly passed the medicine.
When Xu Wenzhou saw that he was leaving, he immediately spoke.
"By the way, I will call my daughter back, she usually plays in the back mountains."
"Okay."
With that, Xiao Beichen raised his feet and walked away quickly.
On the side of the street, a group of uncles and old men sat around.
They looked attentive, exchanged ears, and kept discussing in their mouths.
"Here, here!" They looked at the stone table chessboard and quarreled.
Village Chief Yu has superb chess skills, and he beat Uncle Hao a little overwhelmed in a few rounds.
Under the noisy words, Uncle Hao became more and more nervous and sweated profusely.
"Vault! Uncle Ben told you to jump off the horse! ”
Doufei stood by the chessboard and shouted at him.
He hesitated a little, and under the nervousness, he still unconsciously moved.
Village Chief Yu plunged a cannon into his hinterland and laughed softly.
"Haha, General!"
"It's over~" Doufei shouted defiantly.
Uncle Hao paused for a moment, and when he saw that the defeat was decided, he shouted at Doufei with extreme impatience.
"Oops! You're noisy! Stay where it's cool! What a hindrance! ”
"Humph! Hard-mouthed idiot! It shook its head disdainfully.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao Beichen suddenly appeared next to everyone, startling everyone.
Dou Fei immediately flew to his shoulder and teased loudly.
"Yo! Stinky little ghost, you finally woke up, Uncle Ben thought you were going to become a dead pig! ”
“.........”
Village Chief Yu looked at the guy who suddenly appeared, touched Bai Hu and said with a smile.
"Presumably, you are the boy that Yingzi brought back."
"I'm sorry, I'm tired of you." Xiao Beichen clenched his fists.
"Hey, don't be kind to me. Take this parrot with you, you've been annoyed by it for the past few days. Uncle Hao said annoyingly.
Dou Fei was immediately unhappy, and jumped on Xiao Beichen's shoulder.
"What?! It's obviously your own stupidity! ”
"Cut! It's not because you're annoying..."Uncle Hao choked.
"Alright, let's play."
Village Chief Yu interrupted the conversation and said to Xiao Beichen calmly.
Xiao Beichen expressed his gratitude again, and then walked to the back mountain.
As the road progresses, the trails become narrower and steeper.
At this time, Xiao Beichen was still walking silently.
Dou Fei stood on his shoulder, feeling his qi flowing.
"Stinky little ghost, you seem to have been upgraded!"
"Ah, probably." He replied calmly.
Xiao Beichen's face was expressionless at the moment, and he even had a hint of displeasure.
In fact, he couldn't know in his heart that after that bloody battle, he had already risen from the fifth stage of martial arts to the sixth stage of martial arts.
In the past, when he was promoted to the cultivation level, he was so happy that he flew up, and he couldn't wait to beat gongs and drums to tell people all over the world.
Because that's the reward for your own efforts, and you deserve it.
But this time, it's stepping on her blood....
"Hee-hee! Liu Chunying's girl is only five ranks, but she is only on the spiritual root, and she is not as good as you! Doufei smiled triumphantly.
Xiao Beichen didn't pay attention to it, just stopped.
The next moment, a towering tree appeared in front of Xiao Beichen's eyes.
I saw the tall and stout giant trees, standing quietly on the entire hillside, like a guardian god, protecting this village.
His eyes widened, and he was deeply shocked by the sight.
"Why is this tree so outrageous?" Doufei was also a little surprised.
Xiao Beichen walked under the tree, stood on the intertwined roots, and felt the fragrance of birds and flowers here.
A few yellow birds on the branches of the trees all looked at Dou Fei directly.
"Look at what! Get lost! Dou Fei rushed straight up, scolding and driving them away.
At this moment, her words seemed to sound in Xiao Beichen's ears again.
[But I still prefer to stay in the shade of the trees.] 】
Xiao Beichen leaned under the tree and took out the old jade pendant from his waist, the original gray-white had already been stained red by stained blood.
He wiped it with his thumb, but found that he couldn't wipe it off.
The next moment, he gradually exerted his strength, and his eyes were filled with tears, but he just couldn't get it clean.
The stained blood seeped through the crack into the jade, almost turning the entire jade pendant dark red.
"Shhhh Ahem. ”
Xiao Beichen held back his tears, endured the pain, and wiped it with relentless force.
"You did your best, and if you don't make a move, more innocent people will die." Dou Fei landed on his shoulder and comforted him softly, "Death under your sword is the best ending for her." ”
"I just can't figure out why it's her, why..."His eyes were red, and he was still wiping the jade pendant.
"You kid is too affectionate, just like your old man when he was young." Dou Fei shook his head again and again, sighing: "Alas, there will always be some people in this world who are two-faced and inconsistent. Especially in this treacherous world! That's a lot! ”
At this point, he remembered her clear eyes and whispered in response.
"No... She's not that kind of person. It must be something else, it must be...."
"Ugh."
Dou Fei saw that he was still wiping the jade pendant with tears, and he didn't want to say anything more.
