Chapter 169: Running to the Mountain Village at Night
It was already evening when the two of them came out of the Demon Valley, and the unreliable Mengzi child was dozing off the big stone at the exit, and his head was little by little, and his saliva was about to flow to the ground.
Liwan, who was in a good mood, smiled and made a silent gesture towards Dugu Che, walked over lightly, and looked at Dugu Che with a bad smile helplessly holding his forehead, this girl and Mengzi are really a pair of little enemies, they quarrel when they meet, and they are not bored to play around all day long.
Away from the girl, she quietly leaned into Mengzi's ear, and her smile gradually grew bigger.
"The ghost is coming!"
"Ah!!" Yumeko woke up suddenly, jumped on the big rock exaggeratedly, and waved his hand again and again in a panic. The chubby little hands danced wildly, and Dugu Che, who was standing not far away, hooked the corners of his mouth, as if he was laughing at the courage of the stinky boy. The great demon king of nightmares, but he is as timid as a mouse, and he is afraid that no one will dare to believe it.
"Liwanxiao!stinky girl, you're scaring me again!" Mengzi was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, and couldn't help but be angry, and pointed at Liwanxiao with her hands on her waist and scolded.
"What about scaring you? You're a nightmare, and you don't play tricks on people in your dreams, right? How do I know you're so cowardly, it's really a shame for you demon world. ”
"Stinky girl, dare you say it again, believe it or not, I will make trouble in your dreams and scare you to cry!" The kid shrugged his nose and looked very proud with a little expression on his face.
With Dugu Che, the great god, by her side, and her waist was straight, she didn't believe that no matter how powerful this kid was, he could do things under Dugu Che's nose. "Come on, if you have the guts, you can come, I'm afraid that you and I will write the three words Wanxiao upside down!"
"You!" Mengzi was so angry that she jumped down from the big stone, her chubby fingers trembled, and she caught a glimpse of Dugu Che walking towards them, and she could only hang her head aggrievedly, "You know that you are a bad person who bullies children!"
Burst!
Mengzi, who has lived for thousands of years, is really like a child, sitting on the ground and sulking, only giving them a big head to see.
"Oh, okay, it's not okay if I'm wrong, little ancestor, don't make trouble. Li Wanxiao finally lost to this stinky boy, went up to pull him up, and helped him pat the dust on his body, "Don't make trouble, let's get down to business." We've found the Yin and Yang flowers, I can't wait for tomorrow, I'll go back for dinner in a while and leave, do you want to go home with me?"
In fact, she also wanted to say this to Jun Wuxian, but that person didn't know what he was busy with recently, and often the dragon saw the head but not the end, and the son became more and more mysterious.
"My family doesn't want to have everything there, it's just an ordinary farmer, and there is no one at home, I came out this time for more than half a year, and I don't know how high the ashes at home are, if you want to go back with me, maybe you have to help clean up." "Mengzi is a demon, and he is a very humane little devil, let him do housework, it's really unthinkable.
Who knew that the stinky boy uncharacteristically didn't plan to be lazy, so he wiped his snot and said, "It's okay, can you eat?"
"There must be food, let's buy some ingredients from the town later, and I'll cook when we get home, so that you can see the cooking skills of my miracle doctor." ”
The doctor who can't cook is not a good baby, but she is the pillar of the kitchen in the eyes of the master!
"Alright, that's it. Yumeko smiled, revealing a row of big white teeth.
Li Wanxiao subconsciously glanced back at Dugu Che, always thinking about cooking fish soup for him to taste, this time when I go back, I have to make a pot no matter what, and treat this great hero who is looking for yin and yang flowers.
As the sun set, the three of them quickly returned to the small courtyard where they lived in Lingshan with the yin and yang flowers. As soon as he entered the door, a red bewitching figure immediately broke into everyone's sight.
"Half-demon plum?" Li Wanxiao was stunned, and the hand holding the yin and yang flower tightened. She has always felt that the half-demon Mei is both good and evil, you can never guess what she will do in the next moment, before on the stage of the martial arts arena, this woman helped her up like a gentle big sister, but today I see this person without the soft breath of the day, like an ordinary woman from an ordinary family, gentle and cold arrogance are perfectly integrated in her, making people unapproachable, but they are deeply trapped in her beautiful face and cannot extricate themselves.
What kind of woman is this?
The half-demon Mei's gaze always fell on Dugu Che's body, and the woman who was originally leaning on the railing got up and walked towards them gracefully, standing one meter away from them, slightly blessed, and said softly: "The little woman has been waiting for a long time, the medicinal materials have been bought, please leave the girl to dispense the medicine herself." ”
Medicine?
Looking back at Dugu Che, seeing his shallow chin head, he knew that he had asked the half-demon plum to purchase all the other medicinal materials in the prescription in advance, and just waited for the yin and yang flowers to be in hand and made the medicine as soon as possible, so as not to be coveted by people with the yin and yang flowers with them, and they didn't want to cause trouble.
Li Wanxiao nodded, and followed the half-demon plum into the house, there was a large table in the corner of the room, and there were a lot of medicinal herbs neatly placed on the table, as well as various tools for medicine. She's well prepared.
Without further ado, he directly put the blood-red yin and yang flowers into the medicinal herbs, and mashed them one by one in the order of the recipe, and the thick medicinal fragrance quickly spread out in the room, with an indescribable bitter taste. The other three just watched Li Girl work alone, and no one went up to help, they all knew how important this matter was to Li Wanxiao, this was what she spent for more than half a year, endured all the hardships, and even gambled her life to collect the medicinal materials, the meaning of which was extremely heavy for her.
Time passed slowly, but the four people in the room were not tired in the slightest. Dugu Che, Half-Demon Mei and Mengzi were quietly guarding the side, no wind and grass could escape their eyes, Li Wanxiao only concentrated on grinding the medicine, and when the dozen flavors of medicinal materials were finally mixed together, the medicine powder showed a strange dark red, as if the blood had coagulated. Carefully wrap it in oiled paper and place it in an airtight jar to make sure it doesn't get spilled anyway.
"Let's go, go back to the village. After tossing for more than an hour, Li Wanxiao did not have the slightest tiredness, and her bright eyes showed a resolute gaze, this is the last battle, if the master's prescription is useless, or she can no longer find the trace of the plague god, she will accept her fate, and never mention revenge again, only stay at home with peace of mind to be a little miracle doctor who rejuvenates her life.
Dugu Che looked at such a detached girl and felt distressed, she should have been happy at the knees of her parents at a young age, but she suffered so much, I really don't know how such thin shoulders can bear those hardships.
took a step forward and held her little hand, and the warm temperature carried firm strength, which lifted Li Wanxiao's spirit. Don't be afraid, no matter what the outcome is, at least there is him behind him.
Dugu Che is her last supporter, and she is the only person she firmly believes will not lose. Even if the sky falls, this man will never let her face it alone, this belief has already taken root in her heart and grown into a towering tree, so she is not afraid!
A few people did not fly towards the clouds, but when they left, they saw four horses tied to the big tree at the mountain gate, and Jun Wuxian, who had not been seen before, was standing one by one plucking the fluff on the horses' bodies, looking a little absent-minded.
"Jun Wuxian, if you pull the horse again, you will be bald, you know?" Mengzi rolled her eyes and roared.
Jun Wuxian, who was out of his mind, immediately turned his head and saw that it was this stinky boy, and immediately clasped his hands around his chest and smiled: "I just plucked a few hairs from it, and it's too early to say bald!"
Fighting mouth to fighting mouth, Jun Wuxian is a person who knows the severity in the end, ignoring the white eyes of the stinky boy, he directly untied the horse and handed it to a few people, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, the mountain road is not easy to walk, you should be more careful on the road." I've explored the road before, so wait for you to follow me, and Yumeko will be the last to go, and if you find anything, cover us with stealth. ”
"Okay, okay, you talk a lot. Mengzi waved his hand impatiently, there are so many people at the moment, except for Li Wanxiao, Jun Wuxian can let him speak so politely.
He turned over his horse, and when he saw that everyone had pulled the reins, he was the first to whip and gallop towards the mountain road. Behind is Li Wanxiao who was sitting in Dugu Che's arms, she was the only one who couldn't ride a horse, leaning on Dugu Che's chest at this time and biting her lip and trying not to let herself cry out.
Five men and four horses walked in the moonlight, looking hurried, in fact, each of them had a slight heavy heart, no one knew what happened to the unburied corpses of those two villages more than half a year ago, whether they had been devoured by wild dogs, and the corpses were all over the field? If this is the case, then what kind of hell on earth should it be?
The further this road went, the more desolate it became, and the surroundings were pitch black, and Dugu Che couldn't imagine how Liwanxiao, who knew nothing at the beginning, crawled out of the pile of dead people after being greatly stimulated, and walked alone through this barren land to the outside. If she doesn't say, he doesn't ask. Let the difficult and painful times of the past pass, she will no longer be alone in the future, she will always be accompanied by him, and she will never be alone again.
Li Wanxiao, who didn't dare to look at the surrounding scene because she was afraid of the dark, carefully closed her eyes, her little hands tightly tugged at Dugu's clothes, and her palms were soaked with sweat from the fabric.
The half-demon plum in the back is wearing a red skirt, like a charming goblin under the silver and hazy moonlight, and she is extremely beautiful. His gaze swept over the two men on horseback, and a faint darkness swept under his eyes. Of course, she knew what Dugu Che had been doing in turn to send Jun Wuxian and Mengzi in the past few days, but she didn't expect that the Venerable Lord would not take the magic circle of the Demon Suppression Valley so seriously, and lead Li Wanxiao to enter again and get out of the way, it seems that he really regards this girl's affairs as more important than his own life.
The Demon Realm is going to regroup, can such a lord really make up his mind to return to the throne?
