Chapter 18: The Butterfly Valley (4)
Since then, there have been two more people living in the Butterfly Fairy's house, Liyuan and Ning Ning. Su Mu and Liyuan repaired the grass shed outside the house and it became Liyuan's simple residence, while Ning Ning lived in the warehouse with Su Mu. Su Mu was afraid that Ning Ning would be a little uncomfortable and offered to live in a grass hut together, but was rejected by Liyuan.
"Kid, you've helped us so much. Liyuan said with sincere gratitude.
After that, under the drug conditioning of the butterfly fairy, Liyuan's complexion improved day by day, and his body bones were obviously not as rickety as when Su Mu first saw him, and he was gradually able to move around freely, helping Su Mu to do some rough heavy work together. And although Ning Ning still often has chills, under the guidance of the butterfly fairy, every time Su Mu and Liyuan have chills, they will build a bonfire to keep warm, and constantly give Ning Ning a medicinal soup to warm up, although the symptoms have not improved significantly, but every time Ning Ning has an onset, Ning Ning does not look as painful as before. My voice has also improved a lot, and I can gradually speak.
Su Mu witnessed Ning Ning's appearance when she was sick, her thin body curled up into a ball, like a kitten, her body trembled wildly, wanting to warm up, although it was close to winter, but the breath from Ning Ning's mouth was completely free of a mist. His face was pale, his lips were purple, and his painful appearance made Su Mu unbearable to look at it.
At this time, Su Mu could only keep looking for things that could keep warm to wrap Ning Ning, or constantly add firewood to the fire. I'd rather have my hands red and blistered from being hot, and I want to bring the freshly heated medicinal soup to Ning Ning to drink as soon as possible. made the butterfly fairy angry and distressed when he saw it.
"Please, Aunt Yue is already very busy, don't add more patients to me, okay. Butterfly Fairy said angrily while applying medicine and cold compress to Su Mu, "I see you, you are more concerned about that little girl than yourself, you won't forget that you have to reshape your meridians, you are not afraid of being tired after being busy these days?"
"I'm not tired Aunt Yue, it's okay hehe. Su Mu was a little embarrassed. "I also want to help Aunt Yue and Ning Ning more. ”
"Tell Aunt Yue honestly, do you like this little girl, so attentive. The butterfly fairy smiled slyly through her veil.
"Like... Aunt Yue, I don't know, I like Master, and I also like Senior Sister and Senior Brother, but it seems to be a little different for Ning Ning. ”
"What's the difference?"
"I think Ning Ning has a very cordial feeling, and I don't know why, it's just that I want to protect her when I look at it. Su Mu thought about it and said seriously.
"I'm still a kid, pretending. The butterfly fairy smiled and nodded Su Mu's forehead. "You kid have a kind heart, I know, but you also have to think for yourself, you yourself are a patient, if you are tired for a while, it may affect the shaping of the pulse in the future. ”
"Eun, I understand, Aunt Yue. Su Mu also replied with a smile.
Butterfly Fairy looked at Su Mu with some emotion in her heart. When she saw this child for the first time, she only felt that this child was a little introverted, forbearing, and not very close to people, and after getting along for a while, she found that he was a delicate and very gentle child, but he was a little bad at words. And after Ning Ning and them stayed, Su Mu seemed to become more and more cheerful.
The butterfly fairy was also very relieved to look at it, thinking that his deserted place had not been so lively for many years, and the average patient would let him go back immediately after taking the prescription or after the treatment, and no one had ever lived here for a long time. Now that I think about it, it's not bad to have such a buzz once in a while.
As the days passed, Liyuan's illness finally recovered. Liyuan immediately proposed to the Butterfly Fairy that he wanted to immediately set off to find the three-flavor medicinal materials that Ning Ning needed.
The Butterfly Fairy said angrily, "Are you a little bit of a bad brain? Even if your body has recovered now, do you know how precious those three flavor medicinal materials are? Either in the royal garden, or in the deep valley wonderland, with the body of an ordinary person who has no cultivation at all, and you are penniless, how can you find it?"
Liyuan was a little embarrassed to hear this, and his face turned red. To be honest, he and Ning Ning have been living in the Butterfly Fairy's house for nothing, and the medical expenses prepared at the beginning actually can't even afford to pay for the daily medicinal materials, let alone those precious medicinal materials. I was also suddenly comfortable for a while, and my brain was dull. I didn't think about what to say at all.
"Don't worry about those herbs, I have another task to be entrusted to you to do, if you do it, I will naturally find a way for those herbs." Butterfly fairy said.
"Ah, please ask the medical immortal to command at will, Liyuan will be completed!"
The butterfly fairy's eyes turned to the outside of the house, today is the first snow in the Butterfly Valley, at this time, Su Mu and Ning Ning are sitting side by side at the door of the house while eating a hot meal, while looking at the fluttering outside the house and pointing, Ning Ning will let out a happy laugh from time to time.
Looking at this warm scene, Butterfly Fairy and Liyuan felt a little warm in their hearts.
"To tell you the truth, if it weren't for Mu'er's sake, I wouldn't have healed you and that little girl. The butterfly fairy spoke.
Liyuan hurriedly said, "Of course Liyuan understands that although Su Mu's little brother is young, he is kind to others, if it weren't for him, our father and daughter would really have to die of illness on the streets." ”
"So, what I want you to do is actually related to Mu'er. Butterfly Fairy continued, "Mu'er was originally a sword cultivator, but for some reason, the meridians were completely destroyed, and now I have come here to treat the damaged meridians. And the most important material to cure him is the snake tendon of an adult six-flowered python. ”
Taking a sip of hot tea, the butterfly fairy continued, "The adult six-flowered python is a ferocious beast, and ordinary cultivators are very risky to encounter it, and it lives deep in caves, and generally does not appear outside the cave except during the spawning period. The six-flowered python usually lays eggs in early winter, and now it is almost its egg-laying period. ”
"Butterfly Valley is one of the habitats of the six-flowered python, but in the past year, nothing has been found. Just when I thought that the six-flowered python here had left, I found traces of the six-flowered python when I went out to collect medicine a few days ago. "This is supposed to be a large adult six-flowered python, going out to find a suitable place to lay eggs, and if nothing else, it should be near a clear spring." ”
Liyuan frowned, "What does the medicine immortal mean?"
"Of course I want you to kill this six-flowered python. ”
"But the medical immortal didn't say that these six-flowered python-like cultivators can only retreat, what should I, an ordinary scholar..."Liyuan felt a little furious in his heart, to be honest, he had already prepared to save his daughter Ning Ning even if he sacrificed himself, but now after Su Mu's enlightenment, he felt that in order to protect Ning Ning, he had to live by himself first, and his mentality had changed a lot, not to mention that Ning Ning's disease control had just improved, and he had become a loser. ”
"It doesn't matter, the six-flowered python is at its weakest when it lays eggs, and it is hardly aggressive at this time, and when the time comes, I light a stick of incense specially prepared for the six-flowered python upwind of the valley, which will make it even weaker, and it can hardly move, so you can go up and pierce its head with a sword at this time. Butterfly Fairy explained.
"In that case, isn't it more suitable for the little brother Su Mu, who is good at using swords..."
"Are you still a man? hiding behind a ten-year-old child?" "Butterfly Fairy was a little angry, and her tone became fierce for the first time, "Tell you more! Although Mu'er needs the snake tendon of the six-flowered python, there is one of the most important things in your daughter's prescription is the snake gall of the six-flowered python! Don't think that you are just saving Mu'er, this is also for your own daughter! Think about it!"
Liyuan was in a struggle, he obviously didn't expect it to unfold like this. If the butterfly fairy had arranged for him to do some hard work, he would not have hesitated in the slightest, but it sounded like it was obviously a dangerous task, which made him a little unremarkable.
Forget it! Just think it's for her daughter!" Liyuan gritted his teeth and nodded.
Butterfly Fairy was relieved to see that Liyuan had agreed, the longer she got along with Su Mu, the more she didn't want to put Su Mu in any danger. Now this kid has no swordsmanship but no true qi, and his physical fitness is just the level of an ordinary child. She really didn't want Su Mu to take the risk. Originally, she wanted to write to ask the town to find some sturdy hunters to come and help, but now that it is winter, most of the hunters have returned home, and Butterfly Town cannot find any reliable mercenaries. However, according to the traces, the butterfly fairy judged that this six-flowered python may be the largest one in the entire butterfly valley.
The larger the body size, the better the tenacity of the snake tendons, and the better the effect of reshaping the meridians. The butterfly fairy didn't want to miss the opportunity.
Now that Liyuan has agreed, it is naturally the best.
Butterfly Fairy looked at Liyuan, sighed and continued: "I won't hide it from you, that little girl is not actually sick, but her innate life." ”
"What do you mean by the medical immortal?" Liyuan was a little puzzled.
"I've heard of a constitution similar to your daughter's, and it's not a curse, it's a gift from heaven. It's just that we don't know how to use it. So if you come to me for healing, it's not the best way for her. How to bring out her talent without hurting her is what you should be looking for. Butterfly Fairy explained, "After this incident, I will ask the chamber of commerce that has been in contact with me to find all the materials as soon as possible to help the little girl stabilize her condition, and I can also help you inquire if there is a clan that needs this kind of physique, and that is where this child should go." ”
Just for the sake of Su Mu and Lingxi's face, the butterfly fairy thought to herself.
"Really? Thank you for the great kindness of the medical fairy! Liyuan is unforgettable!" Seeing that the butterfly fairy was not joking, Liyuan was very excited. Although Butterfly Fairy promised to help Ning Ning heal before, he also said that he could only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and now there is a better road in front of him, which suddenly gave Liyuan new hope.
"Please rest assured that the medical immortal will definitely complete the task! Ningning's affairs are troubled by the medical immortal!"
"Since I have chosen to make a move, I will do my best, which is the morality of a healer. You can rest assured. The butterfly fairy replied lightly.
