Chapter 22: A New Hope
A beautiful woman said indifferently: "Misunderstanding or not, in fact, it doesn't matter." I'm curious, what is the matter with Childe's visit? ”
Meng replied with a smile: "To tell Madam the truth, I did come here to save one person this time." ”
"Save?" The beautiful woman was a little puzzled, "May I ask Childe, who are you trying to save?" Usually you need a doctor's help to save things, so why are you here? ”
Meng Yan noticed that the little girl's eyes were wide open in the arms of the beautiful woman, and she listened curiously. He pointed to the girl, "That...... Maybe we can talk about it somewhere else? ”
The beautiful woman saw that Meng Yan's expression was unusual, so she put down the girl and said to her, "Xuan'er, you just stay in the house, don't come out." ”
The girl coquettishly said, "Mother, I want to hear it too." ”
The beautiful woman's face changed slightly: "Xuan'er, be obedient." ”
The girl reluctantly left the beautiful woman's side, got into the quilt on the bed next to her, left a pair of eyes to stare at Meng Yan, and then pulled the quilt over her head.
Meng Yan and the beautiful woman couldn't help but laugh when they saw the girl's angry appearance. The two walked out of the wooden house, and Meng Yan closed the door smoothly.
The beautiful woman said with a smile: "It can be seen that Xuan'er likes the son very much." She has had no siblings since she was a child, and she is grateful to Childe for being with her. ”
Meng Yan secretly sighed in her heart, it seems that the beautiful woman has long known that he is making her daughter happy. He smiled: "It's nothing, I can get along with the children." casually asked, is she really Mrs.'s biological daughter? ”
The beautiful woman nodded: "Yes, Xuan'er is my own child." Any questions? ”
Meng Yan shook his head: "No, it's just ...... Since she is your daughter, how can she ......?"
The beautiful woman understood his doubts, "I understand what Childe meant, he is wondering about Xuan'er's changes, right?" ”
Meng Yan said with a slight embarrassment: "This ...... The same can be said. ”
The beautiful woman explained: "Of course, Xuan'er was not like this when she was born, but later, she was hit by a strange poison, which caused a change in her appearance. ”
"Poisoned?" Meng Yan frowned, "Someone is so vicious to a little girl?" ”
"Let's not talk about this for now." The beautiful woman seemed a little irritable, "I don't know what is the important matter for the prince to come?" You mentioned that you want to save people? ”
"Yes." Meng Yan nodded, "I did come to save people." ”
The beautiful woman frowned slightly: "Save people? So why are you here? ”
Meng Yan took a deep breath and said calmly: "Madame should have seen that I am not an extraordinary person, but a monster. ”
The beautiful woman nodded, and Meng Yan continued: "I encountered an incident in Chenzhou, a woman's father was framed, and now he is sick in bed, and the woman is seeking medical treatment everywhere to no avail. She posted a post, seeking someone who could save her father. ”
The beautiful woman understood the situation: "I see, that woman is the object of your affection, right?" ”
Meng Yan was slightly embarrassed: "No, I only have a one-sided relationship with that woman, and she has treated me with hospitality." It is a bit far-fetched to say that it is a favorite. ”
The beautiful woman sighed: "I didn't expect you to be so affectionate and righteous although you are a monster, and you will remember a treat that you will reciprocate wholeheartedly." ”
Meng Yan blushed slightly, and thought: You don't know, although I did this partly because I was moved by that Miss Ouyang, but more because of the needs of the task.
Of course, he didn't say this to the beautiful woman. The beautiful woman's feelings for Meng Yan were sublimated by this, and she couldn't help but have a more favorable impression of him, and she continued to ask, "In that case, what are you here for?" ”
Faced with the most difficult situation at the moment, Meng Yan carefully chose the wording: "Dear Madam, what I want to express here is that although it is difficult to find a way to save in Chenzhou, it does not mean that there is no hope elsewhere. The beautiful woman nodded slightly in understanding, and Meng Yan continued, "Therefore, I have decided to go to other places to seek a possible way of salvation. However, not long ago, there was a change of events that caught me off guard. ”
The beautiful woman couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What is a change?" ”
Meng replied: "Not long ago, I woke up from a place with a splitting headache, but I couldn't recall the past. What makes me even more regrettable is that the once familiar method of using demonic power is gone. The woman's father had only seven days to live, and I couldn't cast a spell, so it was too late to walk. So, I asked around and finally found this place. Although these words are not entirely true, Meng deftly describes the situation in a subtle and vivid way.
The beautiful woman showed a slight look of surprise: "Does this mean that Childe has been hit by a huge blow and suffered from the disease of losing his soul?" I've heard of this symptom before. However, I still don't understand, why did Childe come here? ”
Meng Yan sighed inwardly that the beautiful woman seemed to need more clues, but still insisted on responding with sincerity: "Because I have lost my memory of the spell, I hope to be able to find my fellow Dao and regain my grasp of the art of flying, so that I can quickly rush to the place where I can save people." The moment I saw Madame's original form, I couldn't help but think that we might have similar practices, and we were both snake demon people. I implore Madame to understand my sincerity and teach me how to use demonic powers. ”
When the beautiful woman heard this, her expression gradually became complicated. Meng blamed himself secretly, why is the beautiful woman so dull, obviously the matter is already so clear. However, he was relieved that the beautiful woman finally spoke. She said, "The method of using demonic power is just a trivial matter. Meng Yan almost jumped up with excitement, but the beautiful woman then turned to another angle: "However, ......"
Meng Yan's heart rose again, and the beautiful woman continued: "Even if I am willing to teach Childe how to use demonic power, if I want to find a divine doctor who can really save people, how can Childe know where to go?" ”
Meng Yan quickly shook his head and explained: "Please rest assured, Madame, I am not looking for an ordinary doctor, but preparing to go to southern Xinjiang." ”
A mysterious glint flashed in the beautiful woman's eyes: "Southern Xinjiang? She paused, as if thinking about something, "Could it be ......?"
Meng Zheng nodded: "Exactly." The woman's father's illness was not an ordinary disease or toxin, but a bewitchment. ”
The beautiful woman suddenly laughed, which made Meng Yan feel puzzled. The beautiful woman smiled and said, "It turned out to be a bewitchment." In that case, Childe may not need to travel a long way, because there is someone here who can save him. ”
Meng was stunned and said, "Is there anyone here who can be rescued?" Who's that? ”
The beautiful woman smiled mysteriously: "He is far away in the sky, but he is close in front of him. ”
