Chapter 2 A long drought

"After watching it for so long, do you think this swordsmanship is very powerful? If you want to learn it, I can reluctantly accept you as an apprentice. The shopkeeper looked at Li Ruoxian with a hippie smile.

Li Ruoxian came back to her senses and snorted coldly: "Think beautifully!"

The shopkeeper seemed to suddenly realize, and said suspiciously: "You don't want to be my apprentice, don't you want to be my wife?" and then thoughtfully, muttering: "Just on the road, you have been leaning on my solid chest. Then, I carried you here from the foot of the mountain, pulled out the poisonous needle for you, and sucked out the poisonous blood. In this case, if you have to be my wife, this is also something to consider. ”

Li Ruoxian was born beautiful, noble, and loved by thousands of people, how could she have been teased like this? At this moment, even though she was born in a famous family and had an arrogant heart, she was so angry that she couldn't control herself, and roared angrily: "Shameless!" In a fit of anger, a large mouthful of pale black blood spurted out of her mouth.

The shopkeeper smiled slightly bitterly, took out a coarse cloth square towel from his arms, and stepped forward to wipe the blood stains from Li Ruoxian's mouth.

The matter was clear, but Li Ruoxian was still angry, and reluctantly grabbed the square towel and wiped the blood stains by himself.

The shopkeeper sighed, turned around and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Li Ruoxian hurriedly asked.

"This young lady, you are no longer in danger of life, so should I go find a few detoxification herbs and treat your wounds?"

At this time, Li Ruoxian saw the appearance of the shopkeeper clearly for the first time, his delicate face was slightly immature, and there was an indomitable spirit in his blazing eyes, and he didn't feel a trace of joy in his heart, but his face was still as cold as ice, and he turned his head to the side and ignored him anymore.

The shopkeeper didn't care, turned around and left.

Not long after, the shopkeeper came back with a few herbs.

Li Ruoxian stared at these herbs with interest, and secretly noted down their morphological characteristics. The leaves of this herb are broadly bar-lanceolate, flattened, apex long and acuminate, shorter than the flower leaf, the bulb is bulbous to oblate spherical, the flower leaf is solid, cylindrical.

The shopkeeper kneaded the herb into small pieces with his hands, placed them on a flat stone, and then used another stone to mash the herb until it was slurry-like. Then, he rolled up Li Ruoxian's right sleeve, first squeezed out some pale green liquid from the pulp herb to clean the wound, and then spread the slurry herb evenly on the wound. In the end, he completely ignored Li Ruoxian's murderous eyes, ripped a piece of cloth from her sleeve, and bandaged the wound.

At this time, there was movement at the foot of the mountain, and following the reputation, it was the man in white who led people to search the mountain. It turned out that the man in white chased out of the inn, and saw that the two of them rode away, but he was helpless, so he asked one of them to go back to transfer troops, and he and the other followed from a distance. It was tossed back and forth until noon, when I found the bloody BMW nearby, and searched for it.

"The timing was just right. The shopkeeper smiled proudly.

Li Ruoxian retracted his gaze and said in a low voice: "Don't leave yet!"

The shopkeeper touched his chin with his hand, but he seemed to be in deep thought, and said to himself, "How should I go here?"

Knowing that the shopkeeper was pretending to be stupid, but the white-clothed boy and his party were getting closer and closer, Li Ruoxian forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice: "You carry me away!"

The shopkeeper looked generous, as if he had made a great sacrifice, and nodded: "Then let you take advantage again!"

Li Ruoxian was so angry that he almost spit out another mouthful of blood, but he knew that it was useless to say more, so he turned his head to the side and stopped taking care of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was also very interested, picked up Li Ruoxian and ran towards the mountain.

At this time, someone shouted in the distance: "Over there, hurry up and chase!"

The shopkeeper was holding a person in his arms, with a calm expression, running through the mountains as if he were walking on the ground.

Li Ruoxian was secretly frightened, the second child of this shop was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and his internal cultivation had reached such a state, which was really incredible. She believes that her talent, hard work and mentorship will never be lost to anyone, but compared with it, her internal cultivation may only be equal. There is also a crucial point, that is, her age, she is twenty-one this year.

The shopkeeper hugged Li Ruoxian and walked through the jungle and mountain streams, as if he was familiar with the road. About half an hour later, they came to a cave.

"It's home!" said the shopkeeper smiled brightly.

Looking at that bright smiling face and harmless eyes of humans and animals, if it weren't for everything he had just experienced, Li Ruoxian would definitely think that he was a simple and kind teenager.

The cave is very clean, and the daily utensils are readily available, simple and unpretentious.

The shopkeeper put Li Ruoxian on the bed and went out.

Li Ruoxian didn't care, knowing that the shopkeeper was meticulous and calculating, and it was definitely safe here. But as soon as I calmed down, a strong feeling of hunger came over me. Hurried overnight, until now there is still no grain of rice, but Li Ruoxian is not very anxious, it is expected that the second child in this shop must be looking for food.

Sure enough, half an hour later, a tempting smell of meat wafted into the cave. Li Ruoxian couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper walked in with a roasted rabbit, tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Li Ruoxian's mouth.

Li Ruoxian was about to open his mouth to bite, but the shopkeeper quickly retracted the hand holding the rabbit leg. Li Ruoxian's face changed suddenly, and she glared angrily. If eyes could kill, the shopkeeper had died thousands of times.

The shopkeeper looked innocent and said softly: "Your right hand is injured, can't you move your left hand? If you have to let me feed you, it's not impossible." ”

Li Ruoxian's face was suddenly flushed with shame, and he stretched out his left hand reluctantly, and said in a deep voice: "I have my own hand!"

The shopkeeper put the rabbit leg in Li Ruoxian's hand, and said with a smile: "Looking at it like this, I can leave with confidence." ”

"Where are you going?" asked Li Ruoxian casually.

The shopkeeper stared at Li Ruoxian suspiciously for a while, and finally gave up the idea of continuing to tease her, and said seriously: "I'll go to the old Taoist of Niubi and ask for a righteous qi pill to remove the residual poison from your body, so that your internal strength will be fully restored tomorrow." ”

Li Ruoxian didn't seem to appreciate it, and ate the rabbit leg by herself, and no longer paid attention to the shopkeeper. However, looking at the departing back, she had an inexplicable feeling in her heart. Soon, however, this sentiment vanished, and was replaced by hundreds of ways to torture the shopkeeper.

After eating the rabbit leg, Li Ruoxian had a full burp, but she was a little thirsty. At this time, she inadvertently found that on the small wooden table next to her, there happened to be a bowl of mountain spring within reach. At the entrance of the spring, I was immediately refreshed and seemed to melt something.

This time he was forced to leave home and fled thousands of miles, and Li Ruoxian suffered a lot. There is no one to trust, no one to rely on, she can only rely on herself. Arrogant and noble by nature, she has tempered her iron will and heart. At this moment, like a long drought and rain, her heart is warm and comfortable. She fell asleep, with a knowing smile on her face, but a faint tear in the corner of her eye.
