196 Demon Cult 25

Daylilies are also known as "lilies that bloom only one day".

This is because a daylily flower has a lifespan of only one day, usually blooming in the morning and gradually closing and withering at dusk.

But because a daylily is full of buds, different buds have a flowering time that does not open, this flower falls and the other blooms, and the second blooms, so this flower blooms, accompanied by Yao Rong through the hottest summer.

After a few light rains, autumn is in full swing.

Bupleurum and Platycodon in the field are harvested again, and Astragalus also has a high grain yield.

The villagers decided to expand the planting area, and Ah Xi also wanted to help the villagers enrich the variety of herbs.

By the time I was completely free, it was March of the following year.

Wen Wu sent a letter to tell Yao Rong that the headquarters of the Juxian Alliance has been completed, and the regulations have been formulated.

Yao Rong finally occupied the position of deputy alliance leader, and when he was the shopkeeper, he would always show his face at this time.

There was plenty of time, Yao Rong took Ah Xi to play while heading to the alliance headquarters.

Man Banxue also came with the head of Zhaotianmen.

When Yao Rong was busy with the affairs of the alliance, Ah Xi came to her and mentioned to her that she wanted to travel with Man Banxue.

"In the past few years, I have been living under the wings of your mother."

"But my mother has her own life, and I have my own life. Now that the Sunrise Sect has become a thing of the past, I walk in the rivers and lakes, as long as I am a little careful, I don't have to worry about encountering danger. ”

"I want to walk around on my own, I want to go around on my own, and see different landscapes."

Yao Rong smiled: "By my side, can't you see the scenery?" ”

Ah Xi carefully looked at Yao Rong's expression to make sure she was not angry, shook Yao Rong's arm and explained, "I didn't mean that. ”

"My mother is the first in the world, and her martial arts are unique in the world, and I will not encounter any trouble if I follow you. Because I know that you will clear all the difficulties for me. ”

"With that mentality, I would ignore the other side of the landscape."

Yao Rong nodded, and then asked, "Why did you suddenly have this idea?" ”

Ah Xi said: "Actually, I have always had this idea, but the situation in the rivers and lakes was chaotic before, and I was alone outside, which will definitely make my mother worried." That's not what I intended. ”

Yao Rong smiled and said, "Since you have made a decision, let's go." ”

Ah Xi seems to be weak and has no martial arts to protect herself, but from the moment she pulled out a dagger from the "weak" and swung her knife to kill Mu Jianye, the "strongest man", Yao Rong knew that Ah Xi was a very tough woman in her bones.

She is not very old and has not enough experience in the rivers and lakes, but the two lives she has make her far braver and calmer than ordinary people, and the background of life is far thicker than ordinary people.

After experiencing such an unbearable past, it is difficult for anything to really break her.

She can be an eagle soaring above the blue sky, free, unrestrained.

Her heart has become more and more free since the moment she escaped from the Rising Sun Sect.

Yao Rong, a mother, wants to fulfill her desire for freedom.

However, Yao Rong still made a few agreements with Ah Xi-

No matter where Ah Xi went, he would send a letter to the Absolute Immortal Pavilion every month to report his safety.

Every time you go to a stronghold of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion, you have to say hello to the people in the stronghold.

The first time you travel abroad, the time should not exceed one year.

You must always carry the tokens of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion and the Juxian Alliance with you, and show them if you are in danger. There shouldn't be many people in the rivers and lakes who don't have long eyes, and they won't give face to the Absolute Immortal Pavilion and the Juxian Alliance.

……

Ah Xi responded seriously, hugged Yao Rong, and said softly: "Mother, don't worry, I will definitely take care of myself." I also got some sleeping pills in the past two days, and if I am in danger, I can get out with them. ”

Yao Rong patted her forehead, stuffed a thousand taels of silver tickets into her arms, and didn't say anything more.

Picking a sunny day, Ah Xi and Man Banxue rode out of the city and traveled south.

Yao Rong got on his horse, headed north, and returned to the Absolute Immortal Pavilion.

Chen Nan received the news and hurriedly ran to the door to take a look, but did not see another familiar figure: "Pavilion Master, hasn't Axi come back?" ”

Yao Rong said: "Ah Xi has traveled. ”

Chen Nan was slightly stunned: "Travel? ”

Chen Nan subconsciously was a little worried about Ah Xi's safety, but after thinking about it, the pavilion master was the person who was most worried about Ah Xi's safety in the world, and since the pavilion master had agreed, it meant that the pavilion master had made arrangements.

"Did Ah Xi say when she would come back?" Chen Nan changed his tone and asked.

Yao Rong raised his eyebrows slightly: "If it's fast, it should be able to catch up with this year's New Year, and if it's slow, it will be the beginning of spring next year." But every month letters come back, and you'll be watched more when you arrive. ”

Chen Nan was in charge of the liaison with the various strongholds of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion, and Chen Nan suddenly became energetic: "Yes, Pavilion Master, then the subordinates will go and get busy first." ”

Yao Rong: ?

She is the only one who comes back, so she doesn't deserve to eat the noodles cooked by Chen Nan, right?

Although she is not short of that bowl of noodles, Chen Nan is too different.

The system came out again to fan the flames: [Look at it, I told you a long time ago, you must find a way to punish and punish this kid]

Yao Rong felt that the system's ability to fan the flames needed to be improved: "Actually, the noodles cooked by Chen Nan are not delicious. ”

【? 】

[What do you mean?] 】

"It's nice not to have to eat the noodles he makes."

Yao Rong walked to the kitchen with brisk steps and looked back at the south: "At this time, Axi should have arrived in Yangzhou." ”

Different places, with different customs.

If you have to use one word to describe Yangzhou, that is "soft".

Ah Xi and Man Banxue's journey was not smooth, but they didn't encounter any major trouble.

Now that the alliance is newly established, not many people in the rivers and lakes dare to cut the face of the alliance at this time and make too much noise. Those land hooligans who don't have much martial arts, Ah Xi and Man Banxue can easily solve them.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Axi and Man Banxue rented a courtyard and gave free clinics to the local people every few days.

When there is no free clinic, they will take the medical book to the clinic and make a deal with the doctor.

Three months later, when Man Banxue was about to return to Zhaotianmen, Ah Xi continued her journey alone.

She was not reckless, and when she was on her way, she either followed the dart board or the caravan, and the places she went to were more prosperous and lively towns.

At the end of December, before the heavy snow fell, Ah Xi returned to the Absolute Immortal Pavilion.

What greeted her was still Chen Nan's face.

Ah Xi smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Thank you, Senior Brother Chen Nan, I have eaten a lot of noodles outside this year, but it is the noodles you make that I miss the most." ”

The taste of the noodles is as good as ever.

But when she went out to go out and came home with dumplings, every time she ate Chen Nanxia's noodles, she knew that someone was thinking about her.

This feeling of coming home is irreplaceable by any food.

When she finished eating, the Zuo Dharma Protector and the others also came over, and they greeted her one by one, asking her how she had been for most of the past six months.

Ah Xi narrated the scenery she saw.

Yao Rong stood at the outermost side of the crowd and listened to Ah Xi's narration with a smile.

When the crowd dispersed, Yao Rong walked to Ah Xi's side.

Ah Xi stretched out his hand to hug Yao Rong: "Mother, I miss you so much." ”

Yao Rong asked, "Do you want to continue to travel next year?" ”

"Yes."

Ah Xi raised his head from his arms, his originally fair skin had tanned a little because of the perennial wind and sun, but his eyes became more and more shining: "In the past six months, I have experienced a lot of things that I have not experienced before, I have also met many different people, and I have learned a lot of skills that are not recorded in medical books. I think I'm on the right path. ”

Yao Rong encouraged her: "Since the road is right, let's keep going." ”

Ah Xi smiled: "Senior Brother Chen Nan and Senior Brother Xue Pingfei they called me to eat roast whole sheep, do you want to join me?" ”

Yao Rong shook his head: "I'm going, they can't let go, you have fun." ”

Ah Xi spent a pleasant New Year in the Absolute Immortal Pavilion, and went down the mountain to see the villagers' medicine fields, and when the winter snow melted, she set out on her journey again.

This time, she was going to go further south.

It's just that in this way, she may not be able to rush back during the Chinese New Year.

Yao Rong said: "As long as you know that you are safe, it doesn't hurt for you to go farther." ”

Chen Nan wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything, and quietly watched Ah Xi leave.

He didn't want his mind to be a burden to Ah Xi.

He didn't think about letting Ah Xi stay for him.

He's always been here anyway, and no matter how far she goes, she'll come back here.

Ah Xi went back to Qingfeng Town.

A few years have passed, and the people of Qingfeng Town still remember her.

Seeing her come back, many people threw their hands excitedly.

"Little doctor, you're back!"

"I knew the little doctor was coming back to see us!"

"Little doctor, do you remember me, I am Widow Zhang who lives at the entrance of the village, and you cured my son's illness before......"

Ah Xi was surrounded by enthusiastic people, and finally got out and came to the courtyard she bought.

She used the key she carried with her to unlock the door.

The yard was littered with fallen leaves and dust, flowers and plants grew unscrupulously in the flower beds, and the wind chimes hanging under the porch were no longer crisp.

Several people who lived nearby came to help Ah Xi clean the yard.

Someone asked, "Little doctor, didn't your mother come back with you?" ”

Ah Xi held a broom to clean up the fallen leaves, and said, "My mother has other things, so I'll come and see everyone myself." ”

Another aunt said: "The little doctor is getting better and better." ”

Ah Xi thanked them for their compliments.

The aunt knew that Ah Xi didn't believe it, so she deliberately emphasized: "Little doctor, I'm not exaggerating at all. When you used to laugh, your eyebrows were furrowed, as if you couldn't let go of something. Now when I smile, my eyebrows and eyes are stretched, just like ...... It's like ......"

The person next to him accosted: "It's like a fairy in a painting." ”

The aunt patted her legs: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

Ah Xi subconsciously wiped his eyebrows with his fingertips.

In the past few years, she has indeed changed more and more.

When the yard was finally cleaned, Ah Xi gave everyone who came to help a chestnut cake to take back and taste it.

The next day, Ah Xi moved the tables and chairs out again and held a free clinic under the tree across the courtyard.

She stayed in Qingfeng Town for two months, and then locked the courtyard door again and left.

This time, Ah Xi's trip was not so smooth, and when she followed the caravan south, she encountered a group of water bandits.

The force of this group of bandits is not low, and their water is very good, so they jumped into the water and scuttled through the boat.

After the cabin was flooded, the people on board had no choice but to abandon the ship, and all of them were tied back to the stockade by the water bandits.

Fancheng, which is dozens of miles away from the village, has the stronghold of the Juexian Pavilion and the Juxian Alliance.

Long before Ah Xi got on the boat, she sent a letter to the people in Fancheng with the news that she would arrive in a few days.

As a result, the people of Fancheng waited and waited at the dock, and finally learned the bad news of Axi's abduction from the mouths of other passing caravans.

The people guarding the pier did not dare to delay, and reported the news to the chief as quickly as possible.

The main thing was so frightened that cold sweat broke out, if something happened to Ah Xi here, he would be finished.

The director didn't dare to delay, so he went directly to the Fancheng stronghold of the Juxian Alliance, and then went to the official mansion, leading a hundred good men to suppress the bandits.

When they arrived at the stockade, they found that the water bandits in the stockade had been poured out of medicine, and Ah Xi was helping the caravan untie the rope.

The director hurriedly pleaded guilty: "My subordinates should die, I actually let the young pavilion master have an accident here." ”

Ah Xi shook his head: "I'm fine." ”

Looking at the group of people behind the principal: "This place is full of bandits, and the people and the caravans have suffered greatly. It's not easy for you to get together this group of people, now that you've got them all together, let's do more by the way, and clear all the bandits around you. ”

After instructing the principal, Ah Xi promised to the experts in the rivers and lakes again: "Trouble everyone, after the matter is completed, the Absolute Immortal Pavilion will definitely be grateful." ”

This is the promise of the young pavilion master of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion, and a group of good hands in the rivers and lakes are eager to try.

The water bandits are terrifying, but no matter how terrible they are, how can they compare to the three parties of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion, the Juxian Alliance, and the government at the same time?

It took only three days, and the problem of banditry, which could not be solved in three years, was basically quelled.

The remaining aftermath is something that the government has to worry about.

Afterwards, these 100 Jianghu masters not only received commendations from the government, but also received thank-you gifts from the Absolute Immortal Pavilion and the Juxian Alliance.

After the news spread, the whole Jianghu talked about it.

"The only one who can make these three forces join forces at the same time is the Su Yingxi Su Shao Pavilion Master."

"The biological daughter of the Pavilion Master of the Absolute Immortal Pavilion, and the goddaughter of the leader of the Juxian Alliance. With these two identities, the master of the Su Shao Pavilion is enough to walk sideways in the rivers and lakes. ”

"I don't understand, even if the Absolute Immortal Pavilion and the Juxian Alliance make a move, why would the government also make a move?"

"It's all because of the government's inaction that the banditry in Fancheng will become more and more serious. If something happens to the master of the Su Shao Pavilion in Fancheng, what if the Absolute Immortal Pavilion and the Juxian Alliance anger the court? Nowadays, the rivers and lakes and the court maintain a delicate balance, and no one dares to break this balance easily. ”

People in the rivers and lakes like to discuss the forces standing behind Ah Xi, but the people of Fancheng and the caravan are very direct.

No matter what the reason is, the bandits in their Fancheng were put down because of Ah Xi, so they are sincerely grateful to Ah Xi.

It just so happened that Fancheng recently planned to carve a statue of the fisherman, and use the statue of the fisherman to bless the fishermen with good weather when fishing.

When designing the statue, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but the figure of the fisherman is seven or eight points similar to Ah Xi.

But Ah Xi didn't know about it.

At this time, she was already personally escorted by the head of Fancheng and continued to go south.

With Ah Xi's original intention, she didn't want Director Fan Cheng to make another trip, but Director Fan Cheng was frightened by the previous incident, crying and shouting that she must send Ah Xi away safely.

Ah Xi couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only agree.

In September, Ah Xi came to the beach and saw the magnificent blue sea.

However, there are countless dangers hidden under the beautiful seabed. Fishermen who live by the sea not only suffer from rheumatic diseases, but also have ringing in the ears and bleeding gums.

They had no money in their hands, and there was only one barefoot doctor in the village who knew a little about medicine, and at most he could cure wind, heat and cold, and no more.

Ah Xi has experience in treating rheumatism and knows how to treat rheumatism, but the herbs grown in the local area are very different from those grown in Qingfeng Town, and if the ointment is made with the previous prescription, it will definitely increase the cost of the ointment, and it will be difficult to popularize it.

Ah Xi stayed here, occasionally going out with the fishermen.

Most of the time, she wears a hat, carries the bamboo basket given to her by the fishermen, carries the small medicine hoe given to her by the fishermen, and walks around the land under the scorching sun, looking for alternative herbs, and thinking about how to help the fishermen solve other underlying diseases.

This is not something that can be solved in a short period of time, seeing that the time for the New Year is getting closer and closer, Ah Xi hesitated for a long time, but decided not to go back for the New Year.

This time, it will take at least three months.

It's just too much of a toss-up.

Ah Xi wrote down all the situations he encountered in the letter, tried to send them back to the Immortal Pavilion, and then stayed in the village with peace of mind and continued to find ways to improve the prescription.

On the 26th of the lunar month, this barren and deserted village, with only a few dozen households, suddenly became lively.

One beautiful carriage after another ran over the sand and stopped at the entrance of the village.

Ah Xi was sorting out the prescription in the house, and when she heard the movement, she couldn't help but have a bit of a lively mentality, but as soon as she walked out, she was stunned.

"Mother!"

Ah Xi pushed aside the villagers in front of him and ran on the uneven sand, almost falling over a small pit in the ground.

Yao Rong hurriedly helped her and took off the hood on his head: "Is it a surprise to see me?" ”

"Mother, are you here to accompany me for the New Year?" As he spoke, Ah Xi's eyes suddenly turned red.

I don't know why, before she met her mother, she felt that it was not a big deal to spend the New Year alone in a foreign land. But when her mother stood in front of her alive, a grievance inexplicably emerged in her heart.

Yao Rong touched the tail of Ah Xi's warm eyes: "I'm not the only one." ”

Ah Xi suppressed his tears and looked behind Yao Rong: "Who else?" ”

Chen Nan leaned out of the carriage and said, "It's me." ”

Ah Xi said happily: "Senior Brother Chen Nan, why are you here too?" ”

Chen Nan jumped out of the carriage, clapped his hands, and looked at the sea: "We received your letter. Didn't you say in your letter that the seafood here is very delicious, but unfortunately it is difficult to preserve it, and there is no way to send it back for us to eat? The pavilion owner said that she knew how to preserve seafood, and I thought there was a business opportunity here, so I followed the pavilion master. ”

Ah Xi stared at Chen Nan for a long time, and looked at Chen Nan with a weak heart: "I'll let you and my mother taste the seafood here tonight." ”

Chen Nan coughed lowly and asked his subordinates to move all the things in the carriage to the wooden house where Ah Xi lived.

These things are all New Year's goods that he bought in advance.

There were some pastries that were not suitable for too long, and Chen Nan took them and distributed them to other villagers, and also made a request to stay overnight.

Yao Rong lived directly with Ah Xi.

This year is a dull but happy year for Ah Xi.

For the villagers, it was a lively year.

They saw beautiful fireworks, ate delicious sweets and pastries, and for the first time, the children in the village received New Year's money wrapped in red paper.

Maybe good things come together, and before the new year, Ah Xi found herbs that could be used as an alternative.

She succeeded in making a new rheumatic plaster.

Under Yao Rong's reminder, Ah Xi also knew how to solve the problem of bleeding gums in fishermen.

Chen's fresh-keeping business is also going well, and with better ways to keep it fresh, Chen's special route has been opened up so that seafood can be transported inland as quickly as possible.

As a result, the demand for seafood in the inland increases, and the villagers are able to sell for a good price every time they go out to sea.

When this route stabilized, it was also time for Ah Xi, Yao Rong and Chen Nan to leave.

"After living here for half a year, I was a little unaccustomed to the climate here at first, but now I am going to leave, and I am still a little reluctant." Ah Xi lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the small fishing village that was no longer visible.

Yao Rong said: "You have lived here for half a year, which has brought a lot of changes here. ”

Ah Xi: "I just solved their illness, and it was my mother and Senior Brother Chen Nan who really changed them." ”

"But if it weren't for you, Chen Nan and I wouldn't have thought of helping them change." The wind and dust outside were too heavy, Yao Rong pulled Ah Xi back into the car and lowered the carriage curtain, "Moreover, this trade route is only temporary, but the prescription you wrote down will continue to circulate in the coastal area." ”:,,
