Chapter 143: A calm person is not necessarily really calm
Shuhu Nu arrived at Huaiyang Pass at night, and she rarely waited outside the city without listening to Li Si's words, because she always had a bad premonition, so she finally rushed over.
In fact, her instincts have always been accurate, and this time was no different.
When she came to Huaiyang Pass, she happened to meet Dugu Buno longer and carried Li Si out of the camp.
Seeing Li Si who was fainting behind Dugu, the expression of the Shuhu girl immediately panicked.
She hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "······ him?"
But without waiting for her to say anything, Dugu Buno longer had already interrupted her and said, "He's sick, we're going to Baihua Valley, and you follow us." ”
As he spoke, Dugu Buno had already walked past the Shuhu Girl.
Only the Shuhu Girl was left standing there alone, bowing her head a little helplessly.
She didn't expect Li Si to be so sick.
It wasn't until more than half a sound that she turned back in distraction, turned around and followed Dugu.
On the way, she saw the hidden blade hanging from Dugu's waist, and the sword was already in tatters at this time.
This is Li Si's sword, because she is often asked to help wipe it, so she naturally recognizes it.
But how did it come to be like this, she didn't know why.
······
Jiang Li'er also went to the Valley of Hundred Flowers with Dugu Bufu and the Tiger Girl.
Along the way, he has been using his internal qi to help Li Si warm up his meridians, but because of this, he has become more and more aware of the weakness of Li Si's meridians at this time.
In particular, the veins in this person's chest and lungs are almost as if they will be broken with a little effort.
In this way, he is still forcibly exercising his skills, which is simply nonsense. Even the gentle Jiang Lian'er couldn't help but curse when she found out about this.
Dugu no longer sat on the side, and snorted coldly with a calm face.
And the Shuhu Maiden just kept her head down and lit the bonfire and didn't say anything, because she couldn't do anything.
······
The sun and the moon alternate, and time passes.
When Li Si woke up again, he was in a cave.
The air was filled with a pungent and strong smell of herbs, which made him frown unconsciously.
Where am I?
Thinking so, he looked around a few times.
He found himself lying on his back in a wooden barrel filled with warm water soaked in medicinal herbs.
No wonder the smell of medicine is so strong, Li Si looked at the bucket full of herbs, smiled wryly and shook his head.
At the same time, he also discovered that it was supposed to be a medicine hole, because both on the ground. On the stone walls on all sides, there are all kinds of rare medicinal herbs, and the number is so large that it almost covers the entire cave.
There is a path between the herbs, which is supposed to lead to the outside, and there is a circular opening in the roof of the cave, so that the sky and wind can penetrate from the outside.
He had heard Hua Yunjun talk about this kind of cave, which was a kind of cave specially used to cultivate special herbs, and the requirements for the environment were extremely strict, even in the Valley of Hundred Flowers, there were only a few places.
Am I in the Valley of Hundred Flowers?
Li Si shook his head, only to feel that he was still a little unconscious.
Then he raised his hands and grabbed the edge of the barrel, presumably trying to stand up on his body.
But then he found that he did not have any strength in his hands and feet, and he was so weak that it became difficult to stand up.
After several repeated attempts, in the end only some ripples could be made in the water, Li Si had to put aside the idea of standing up, and leaned on the side of the barrel helplessly.
"Are you awake?" a voice came from the entrance to the cave.
Li Si looked sideways and saw Hua Yunjun holding some herbs with a calm expression, and walked in from outside.
Sure enough, I came to the Valley of Hundred Flowers. Li Si sighed secretly in his heart, raised his eyebrows and looked at Hua Yunjun with a smile and asked.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"Three months. Hua Yunjun replied, walked to Li Si's wooden pass, fished out some of the herbs that had turned yellow in the water, and then put new herbs in it.
Seeing that Li Si was still looking like a hippie smile, she glanced at Li Si and said, "It's all this time, can you still laugh?"
"There's nothing funny about it. Li Si hooked the corners of his mouth, moved his neck and said.
"Life has been in the world for hundreds of years, and a few more laughs is a year. ”
"It's all nonsense. Looking at his unorthodox appearance, Hua Yunjun shook his head, restrained his expression, lowered his eyes and asked.
"Do you know how you're doing?"
For this question, Li Si was silent for a moment and did not answer.
Hua Yunjun replied for him: "If you continue like this, you can live for another three years at most." ”
The cave fell silent, and Hua Yunjun stood behind Li Si and put the herbs into the water one by one.
For a long time, neither of them said a word.
It wasn't until Hua Yunjun finished putting the last herb out that she spoke.
"Didn't I tell you to be careful when you walk outside, how did you still make it like this? ”
There was a little tremor in her voice, which made Li Si not dare to look back at her.
The heavenly light outside the cave shone in and fell on the water in front of Li Si, and Hua Yunjun's figure was reflected in the water, but her face was not reflected.
After half a ring, Li Si felt a drop of warm stuff dripping on his back.
Whether it was a drop of water or something else, he couldn't tell.
But without waiting for him to distinguish it, Hua Yunjun turned his back, put aside the wooden plate containing the herbs in his hand, and continued.
"I have regulated your meridians with medicinal herbs, and if you absorb the medicinal power with your internal qi, it should be better. But I can't cure you right now, so you don't want to deal with anyone until there's a solution, you know?"
After saying this, Hua Yunjun should be ready to leave, and she has to go to boil some decoction for Li Si to sort out his qi and blood.
"I'll heal you, give me a little time. Before leaving, she said.
But in fact, she understands very well that she should not be able to cure this disease.
Li Si naturally knows this as well.
Maybe he wanted to ease the atmosphere, or maybe he didn't want to cause any burden to Hua Yunjun, he smiled and said jokingly.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if someone like me dies, you don't have to worry so much. ”
But this time, Hua Yunjun behind him was completely silent, it was a kind of silence that lasted for a long time, shrouded in the cave, and he didn't go for a long time.
Until a low sob, which could no longer be suppressed, broke the silence, Hua Yunjun turned his back to Li Si and bit his lip.
She endured the reddening of her eyes, but the tears couldn't stop flowing down her face and dripping among the herbs on the ground.
"Li Si, you bastard. ”
She scolded in that choked voice, but she only scolded, and she couldn't scold anymore.
Only simple cries remained, left between the caves.
