Chapter 22: Wounded Again
Dabao also lived up to expectations, and gained a lot after just a few days of studying, not only understanding the use of many common medicinal materials, but also treating simple diseases.
It is often said that there is no banquet in the world, and the old man decided to leave after a few days of cultivation, after all, he still had a family waiting for him to go back, and Xiang Jiuling's family was not easy to keep, so he made a delicious meal and said goodbye to the old man.
After the old man left, Dabao still followed his instructions, familiarized himself with the properties of various medicinal materials every day, and would personally grow some herbs, even if he made his face dirty every time, he didn't care.
This kind of fascinated appearance also touched Xiang Jiuling, she understood that the old man was only teaching some basic content, and it was impossible to become a qualified healer with these big treasures alone, but she had a way.
One night, when several people were sitting together to eat, Xiang Jiuling looked at Dabao, who was still silently reciting the name of the medicinal herbs, and said with a smile: "Dabao, I have a gift for you, do you want it?" ”
"Gifts?"
Dabao was a little surprised, he didn't understand what the gift Xiang Jiuling said would be, but there was still some expectation in his eyes.
Xiang Jiuling didn't like to sell Guanzi, so she didn't sell Guanzi anymore, and handed him the medical book she took out of the space, which was the most complete set of medical books she picked out, but it was a collection of thousands of years of medical experience in one book, far beyond this era If he can really eat it well, I believe that he will be able to learn something in the future.
When Dabao turned the first page, his eyes suddenly began to shine, and he exclaimed happily: "Thank you, mother." ”
Then, he didn't eat anymore, and ran back to the back room with a few books.
Seeing him like this, although Xiang Jiuling was a little helpless, she still felt a little joy in her heart, and then she felt a sharp gaze, raised her eyes and looked at Wen Xi opposite, and she opened her mouth to explain to his inquiring eyes.
"This is left to me by the old gentleman before, saying that he hopes I will hand it over to Dabao at the right time, I see that Dabao has recently learned something, and I think it's time."
Wen Xi nodded, and didn't ask too many questions, there were too many changes in Xiang Jiuling's body that had already exceeded his expectations, but as long as it was harmless to the children, he was willing to see it happen.
In the following time, Dabao studied with medical books every day, and gradually controlled the properties of medicinal herbs better and better, but slowly the medicinal materials they planted were no longer satisfied with him.
On this day, on a whim, Dabao went to the nearby mountains and forests to pick medicinal herbs with a small basket on his back.
It's just that the sky is getting darker, and I don't see anyone coming back, Xiang Jiuling, who learned about this from Erbao, was a little uneasy, so she asked Erbao and Sanni to stay at home and wait for Wen Xi to come back, and she went up the mountain to find someone.
"Dabao, Dabao?"
Xiang Jiuling shouted as he searched along the mountain road, hoping that he would hear and agree.
It's just that the road in the mountains is relatively rough, coupled with the obstruction of light, it took her a long time to find Dabao's figure, and she suddenly felt a little anxious.
There are some wild beasts in this mountain, and the sky is about to get dark, and the big treasure is still so small, in case ......
As soon as he thought of that result, Xiang Jiuling sped up his pace, and suddenly accidentally stepped on an empty kick, and the whole person fell.
"Uh-"
When she stabilized her figure, she slowly stood up, only to find that her feet were twisted, and the sharp pain made her forehead sweat densely.
It's really unlucky, my foot was twisted once last time, and this time it hurt in the same place, which can be described as an injury on top of injury.
Xiang Jiuling secretly sighed that his body was simply too fragile, how could he always be injured, it was really a disaster.
"Kaza—"
Suddenly there was the sound of a tree branch being trampled behind her, and she quickly turned around and looked over with a wary face, but was stunned when she saw the person approaching from the darkness.
"Wen Xi?"
"Your foot is twisted?"
Wen Xi frowned and looked at her dangling feet, and just wanted to squat down to check, but saw her neatly put down.
"I'm fine, little injury, are you also here to find Dabao?"
Xiang Jiuling is not used to accepting other people's care, she just wants to expose this matter quickly, after all, it is really a bit embarrassing for her.
Seeing this, Wen Xi could only stand up and look at her, "On such a dark day, you dare to go up the mountain alone to find Dabao?" ”
"I'm worried about him, and it's not completely dark." Xiang Jiuling glanced around, "But it's getting dark, Dabao hasn't been found yet, let's hurry up and find someone." ”
As she spoke, she was about to continue looking for someone, but as soon as she moved her steps, the severe pain spread from her feet to the nerves in her brain, so that her body couldn't help but tremble slightly and frown slightly.
Wen Xi suddenly strode up to her, and then squatted down.
"You...... What is this for? ”
"Come up."
Two simple words spit out from Wen Xi's mouth, Xiang Jiuling didn't move for a while, and the man glanced back at her, "Don't you want to hurry up and find Dabao?" ”
Hearing this, she leaned on his broad back, and then was carried up.
It was a feeling that was familiar, yet unfamiliar, unprecedented in her decades as a mercenary, and it gave rise to a different feeling in her heart.
The two of them continued to search in the woods like this, until they came to a downhill slope when their cries were finally answered.
At the bottom of the downhill slope, a small figure emerged from the two stacks of bushes, and its eyes lit up instantly when it saw them.
"Mother, Daddy, I'm here, why are you here?"
"Dabao!"
Seeing him, Wen Xi hurriedly strode towards him, "How are you?" ”
"Dad, I'm fine, I got lost in the mountains, and I saw that it was getting darker, so I was a little scared, so I ...... Found a cave and hid. ”
Dabao's explanation of weakness naturally understood that he must have worried the two of them today.
Wen Xi glanced back at the jungle where he couldn't see the way he came from, now that he went back like this, it was small to get lost, and the most dangerous thing was some beasts in the forest.
"Looks like we're going to need to find a place to transition tonight."
He said in a deep voice, then looked at Dabao, "Take us to the cave where you hid." ”
"Uh-huh."
Although Dabao was a little puzzled as to why Wen Xi was carrying Xiang Jiuling on his back, he didn't ask too much and hurriedly led the two to a small cave not far away.
The cave wasn't particularly deep, but it was big enough for the three of them.
Wen Xi asked Dabao to find a few haystacks before putting down the incense Jiuling on his back.
"Dad, what's wrong with my mother?"
"She accidentally broke her foot while looking for you."
Wen Xi said as he spoke, the hand holding her ankle instantly forced, and he looked at the face of the woman in front of him who was pale for a moment, but he only bit his lip and didn't make any sound.
