In the deep corners of the cavern, a stone couch was pushed out of only rubble blocks. Hu Xiaoer and I dragged the young man to the stone couch together.

I saw that he was still unconscious, his chest heaving and moaning. Fortunately, Hu Xiaoer had already fed him heart pills. After a while, the young man's hideous face softened a lot.

There was still a cracking sound in the wall of fire, and the occasional sword light was hidden back into the red light and disappeared.

The young man on the stone couch didn't wake up for a while, and I looked at Hu Xiaoer, "What should I do next?"

Hu Xiaoer said: "Heart pills can only relieve heartache, treat the symptoms but not the root cause." If you want to find out the real cause of his illness, you have to find a doctor to see. ”

I agreed, looking at the green face lying on the stone couch, "I think he shouldn't want to be seen by outsiders, let's go down the mountain and tell Aunt Xiagua the truth." ”

Hu Xiaoer and I hurried down the mountain.

Along the way, I recalled what I had seen and heard in the cave in the wall, and doubts surrounded my heart, and my brows were tightly knit.

"Woman, what are you thinking?" Hu Xiaoer jumped in front of him with a sharp leaf in his mouth, and suddenly turned to look at me.

"I'm wondering, is that young man Master Mao after all?"

"Judging from the conversation between Aunt Gua and him, he should be the master Mao who is the best at forging swords. Hu Xiaoer stopped where he was, waiting for me to step forward, "Do you want to ask, why is Master Mao a boy who looks only seventeen or eighteen years old?"

I bowed slightly, quickened my pace, and went down the hill with him.

"Aunt Gua called him 'Brother Mao', and they often mentioned how it was eighteen years ago. According to this age experience, Master Mao should be older than Aunt Gua. But how could it be ......?"

I paused, "Could it be that he is growing backwards or has he learned some kind of rejuvenation technique?"

The face of another person suddenly appeared in front of me, and I remembered that he had not aged for ten years......

Could it be that there really is any thaumaturgy like this?

I shook my head and didn't think about those strange thoughts, "It's better to go down the mountain and ask Aunt Gua, but I just don't know if she is willing to tell the truth?"

Hu Xiaoer also furrowed his brows, his eyes far-reaching, "I'm afraid she doesn't know these things either." ”

There is still more than half the way down the mountain. Qingquan Mountain is full of strange rocks, trees and grasses are also disorderly, unlike other mountains and forests I have seen, there are green pines and bamboos, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants.

Somehow, looking at the desolation in front of me, I actually remembered the two vermilion round pills that Hu Xiaoer conjured up from his arms before, and asked him very curiously, "Hey, Hu Xiaoer, you said that the heart pill was given by the doctor who saved me?"

He was slightly stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he immediately bowed his head and said, "Otherwise, could it be that I really conjured it out of thin air?"

"Do you know that I also have a little junior brother, who has been addicted to medical skills for a long time, and often makes pills by himself on weekdays. He once told me that pharmacists have their own unique set of medicines when refining medicines, and even if the recipes and techniques of refining medicines are the same, there are always differences in the elixirs refined by different pharmacists. For example, color, smell, shape, and even taste in the mouth...... It's not the same anyway. ”

He walked beside me with his hands on his chest, half-hooked the corners of his mouth, and a smile on his face.

I walked a few steps quickly, turned around to block the way in front of me, stared into his eyes and said, "Why is the Heart Protector Pill you took out exactly the same as the one refined by my junior brother?"

"Really?" Hu Xiaoer didn't seem surprised at all that I would ask, easily bypassing me and continuing to walk down, "Isn't it just a small pill, can you see something different?"

"If it were other pills, it would be difficult for others to see the difference, but the heart pill was different. There is black grass in the formula of the heart protection pill, and it is mostly black ink when refined. And my junior brother is used to adding more dried red seeds to it to prolong its medicinal effect. This secret can be said to be original to him, so only the heart pill he refined is vermilion. ”

I said it word by word, with extreme seriousness. It's just that a rather bold idea has been wandering around my head these days......

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoer chuckled lightly, half-bent down and picked a fluffy dog tail grass and stuck it in his ear, "Woman, you have gone around in such a big circle, don't you just want to ask me if the doctor who saved you that day is your little junior brother?"

I nodded "hmm" and watched the dog's tail grass in my ears swaying with him, and my eyes were a little itchy.

"I haven't seen what your little junior brother looks like. But I was thinking, if the doctor that day was really your junior brother, then why didn't he watch you wake up and wait until you were fully recovered?"

One sentence suddenly stirred up the doubts in my heart.

I held my chin in contemplation, and Hu Xiaoer said again: "Do you know that all the silver taels on my body are enough for him to stay for two days." At that time, you were still in a coma, and he just said that he would receive the consultation fee and leave. If it's really your junior brother, how can he be so cruel to you?"

That's right, the little junior brother won't ignore me......

I thought about it, and my momentum weakened again.

Hu Xiaoer shook the straw pole in his hand and walked in front again, humming a song very briskly in his mouth.

I still asked a little unwillingly: "Hu Xiaoer, you, what are you hiding from me?"

"Hiding it from you?" he said to me, smiling, "Woman, you think too highly of me. I'm just a shopkeeper, what can I hide from you?"

He took it for granted, and turned around again and jumped down the mountain.

Leaving me alone, I slowed down, inadvertently frowned and said softly: "Then what if, you are not a shopkeeper?"

Thinking of this, Hu Xiaoer had already walked several steps away.

His voice came,

"Woman, hurry up, the boy is still lying in the cave. ”

"Got it. "I hurried to catch up.

There was a burst of birds overhead, and Hu Xiaoer and I were about to reach the foot of the mountain.

At the foot of Qingquan Mountain, there was already a big light, and every household was burning the boiler, casting a sword in full swing.

As I walked, I saw the cool and thirst-quenching melon stall again. There were already a lot of people in front of the stall, and Aunt Gua cut melons and sold them as usual, and she was very busy.

"Girl, young man, you are back!" She saw me and Hu Xiaoer's eyes immediately glowing, and happily handed us two melons.

"Aunt Gua, in fact, we ......" Before I finished speaking, the conversation was snatched by her again.

"I didn't see you in the room early in the morning. Do you know a guest is coming for you?"

"Guest?" I wondered, my eyes looking at the door of the inn behind the melon stall.

"yes. Aunt Gua stopped her mouth in time, and only led us to walk quickly towards the Zhuzhu Inn.

Walking all the way to the guest house, she pushed open the door that she was leaning on lightly, and said to me and Hu Xiaoer: "That person still said that it was a girl, your junior brother." ”

As she finished speaking, she saw a dark figure move out of the inner room. The facial features on the face have not yet fully grown, but they have vaguely revealed some amazing postures. Coupled with the influence of pharmacology, even if you see a figure from afar, you feel that you have a self-styled character.

There is a saying that when you grow up at the beginning of your youth, you are as comfortable as the wind.

The shadow shouted at me with joy in his eyes, "Senior sister, are you back?"

I also smiled at him, "Xiao Jiuye, I haven't seen you for two months, I didn't expect you to grow so much taller." ”

"Senior sister, Nine Nights is Nine Nights, why do you need to add a small word?"

Jiu Ye furrowed his brows, grimaced, and said with some dissatisfaction, "I'm only two years younger than you." ”

He has always been young and old, maybe he hasn't seen him for too long, and there is a bit of coquettishness in his words.

I rubbed his head and said softly, "That's my little Jiuye too." ”

Jiuye wouldn't be angry with me because of this, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth at me.

After relieving the surprise in my heart, I thought about Hu Xiaoer next to me. I was about to introduce him to him, but he also calmed down and said to me with a solemn face: "Senior sister, how is your leg?

"It's all right, the stone will be fine if the poison is cured......"

In an instant, I stopped my mouth and reacted, looked at Jiuye, and then looked at Hu Xiaoer beside me.

Jiuye's face changed slightly, and Hu Xiaoer touched his nose, looking a little helpless.

"Xiao Jiu," I said as I took a step back and stared at them at the same time, "how do you know my leg hurts?"

"This, this......" Jiuye stood up, and his face was a little crimson.

He stole a glance at the blue shadow beside him.

"Xiao Jiu?" I narrowed, "to tell the truth." ”

Xiao Jiuye is the worst at lying. I saw that his face was getting redder and redder.

With a "snap", Hu Xiaoer on the side clapped his hands, and one hand fell on Jiuye's shoulder, but said to him:

"Little Brother Nine Nights, you came at the right time. I heard that you have good medical skills, and there is a young man living in the cave on Qingquan Mountain, who is afraid that he has heart cowardice, and urgently needs a doctor to go and see. ”

Jiuye nodded again and again as she listened, her face solemn, "Then let's go quickly." ”

He turned to look at me again and asked timidly, "Teacher, senior sister?"

I glanced at them both, let out a sigh of relief, and walked briskly towards the door.

The footsteps behind him followed.

Then there was a loud shout,

"What did you say?"

The three of us turned around in shock.

Seeing that Aunt Gua, who had just entered the inner room, ran to the courtyard in a panic at this time, and said with disbelief in her eyes: "Who do you say has heart hanging?"
