Chapter 1 The Strange Disease of the Mountain Village
"Qi Yu Divine Venerable, Demon King Mu Hua led nine thousand elite soldiers to attack the Nantian Divine Temple, and the Divine Maiden Bai Wuxian asked for support!"
The Venerable who was sitting on the soft collapse frowned slightly, and made a gesture to send troops at will, and the person who came immediately took the order to leave, Nantian was violated, how could the Supreme Divine Venerable of the Nine Heavens sit idly by?
The wide purple and gold robe faintly exuded a dangerous streamer, and it was not peaceful to take a nap! The lazy expression of the cold lotus demon crossed a trace of murderous aura, but the cold aura flashed, and then he returned to calm, and now he had long lost his penchant for killing. Slowly got up, walked to the gilded long table on the side, and poured himself a wine glass.
Looking around at the empty hall, the corners of his lips hooked up a faint helplessness, and a trace of loneliness crossed his eyes. Three hundred years have passed, and his status in the immortal world has almost exceeded 10,000 people under one person, but the loneliness in his heart is increasing day by day. The power of life and death in the palm of his hand, looking at the various states of the Three Realms, he is no longer able to match him today.
In the eyes of outsiders, his status and power are enough for him to despise any level of gods and demons in the Three Realms, but all this glitz is just the appearance after all, only he knows that if that person returns, everything he has now will be wiped out, but how can it not be a perfect end?
Dugu Che, I have been lonely for three hundred years, and I have been waiting for your return to complete our decisive battle!
"Smack!"
The glass glass shattered, and blood dripped down, splashing a blinding red on the luxurious purple and gold robe.
"Girl, did you go to your second sister Zhang to discuss medical skills again?"
Li Wanxiao, who was playing with mud, was caught by the master as soon as she entered the door, and suddenly sighed in her heart that she was unlucky, stuck out her tongue, and trotted all the way to the master.
Putting on a big smile, he said sweetly: "Master is wise, but the apprentice didn't discuss medical skills with the second sister today, but ...... It's ......"
The old man glanced at his girl up and down, and said in a deep voice: "Did you go fishing with a few stinky boys from the next village?"
Li Wanxiao hung her head, and her little mud-stained hands were behind her back, "I know that I'm wrong, it's all played by stinky boys, Wanxiao is my daughter's family, I can't mess around with them." ”
The attitude is very sincere, and the expression is pitiful!
When the old man saw the girl's small appearance, he could only shake his head helplessly, "It's good to know that it's wrong, girls should be reserved, and they can't ......."
"Okay, Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong, and he promises not to mess around in the future!" Li Wanxiao stuck out her tongue, made a grimace, and ran to the yard to wash her face and wash her hands.
Looking at the bouncing little apprentice, the master looked helpless and doting. Wanxiao is an orphan he picked up when he went out to practice medicine fifteen years ago, and he himself has never married a wife and started a family in his life, so when he saw that the child was pretty and cute, he accepted her as a disciple and kept her by his side to cultivate it slowly, and after a long time, he treated her as his own daughter. Wanxiao is very smart and learns everything quickly, but the child's nature makes her always have no intention of learning, so he will turn a blind eye to this, after all, Wanxiao has just turned sixteen years old, and there is still a long way to go to study medicine in the future.
"Master!"
The little girl who had washed up happily ran into the house, still carrying a fat silver carp in her hand, "Master, this is the fish I caught, let's boil fish soup and drink it at night!"
The old man smiled helplessly and nodded, "You go and get it, I will go to the back mountain in the afternoon to find herbs, and by the way, I will dig up some wild vegetables and put them in the kitchen, you can see how to eat them." ”
"Oh, I know, Master, you are busy first, I'll go cook dinner!" Yang Yang Yang held the fish in his hand, and ran to the kitchen to boil water with a smile.
In the evening, the master and apprentice sat at the dining table, a pot of fish soup, a plate of wild vegetables, two bowls of rice, simple coarse tea and light rice, and the two of them ate happily.
The well-behaved and clever smile gave the master a bowl of delicious fish soup, "Master, did the apprentice tell you something?"
I took the porcelain bowl, blew it gently, and took a sip, it was fragrant and delicious! The old man nodded with satisfaction, "Say, what's the matter?"
"Oh, yes. Li Wanxiao put down her job, she has always been naughty and naughty, and she rarely showed a serious look.
"Master, I went to Second Sister Zhang's house at noon, and I wanted to discuss medical skills with her, but Second Sister was sick. Originally, it was not unusual for her to be sick, after all, although we are doctors, it is inevitable that we usually have a little illness and pain, but her illness is a little strange. ”
Speaking of this, Li Wanxiao frowned, although she didn't learn or know how to do it, she had seen a lot of incurable diseases next to her master since she was a child, so she could still see some clues about Second Sister Zhang's illness, "Second Sister's symptoms are the same as a cold, that is, fever and cough, but when I checked her pulse, I felt that the pulse was strong and weak." ”
Saying that, Li Wanxiao picked up the chopsticks and poked the rice bowl, "Master, you also know the second sister, she usually does rough work, and her body is as strong as a cow, a few days ago I went to Niujia Village to see a doctor, and when I came back, I was full of fever, and now it is getting worse and worse, and her face is faintly blue, I think ......"
"What do you see?" the old master drank the last mouthful of fish soup, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at the little apprentice with a puzzled expression.
Sighing, Li Wanxiao said in frustration: "Anyway, this disease...... I don't see it. ”
"Okay, don't think about it, Master knows that you and that Second Sister Zhang often get together, and the relationship is good, I'll go with you tomorrow morning to have a look, with Master here, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to cure her illness." ”
The old man naturally knew that Wanxiao and the second sister Zhang were hanging around all day long, but out of doting, he didn't discipline her too much, and after telling Wanxiao not to learn badly, he let her go out to toss.
"Thank you, Master!" Li Wanxiao suddenly jumped up and hugged Master's neck, "Master is the best!"
After tossing for so long, and stewing a pot of soup, I just wanted the master to go out of the mountain to treat the second sister, and now it seems that the plan has succeeded!
The next morning, Liwanxiao, who loved to lie in bed, rarely got up very early.
"Master, let's go over early after eating!"
After washing, the little girl held the porridge bowl and hurried to eat breakfast, thinking that she would go out early today, see the second sister after seeing a doctor, or go to the market to go around, and buy some fresh vegetables by the way.
The old master sat down at the table unhurriedly, drinking porridge slowly, occasionally sandwiching a little side dish, "Wanxiao, the life and death of a person, there is a fixed number in the sky, we are mortals, it is useless to be anxious." ”
Li Wanxiao sighed, she naturally knew these truths, not to mention that now the world is rampant with demons, and human life is like a mustard, but the doctor is benevolent, and the person who practices medicine still has to do something after all.
"Master, Wanxiao understands. ”
Having said that, the old man still put down the dishes and chopsticks after a few bites, and went out with a smile. Looking at the cloudy sky, the old master sighed in his heart, this is not a good sign!
There was nothing to say all the way, maybe it was because of the weather, or it was because she was worried about Second Sister Zhang's illness in her heart, and Liwanxiao, who had always been lively and active, looked a little dull, carrying the master's big medicine box and following behind. The master and apprentice hurried along the mountain path, and saw several people wearing linen and filial piety walking towards the outside of the village from a distance, accompanied by a faint cry, giving people a sense of desolation.
"Huh, isn't that the second sister's Zhang fool?"
Wanxiao was naturally better than the old master's eyes, and immediately recognized a fool in the crowd of people wearing linen and filial piety, and then pointed at him and said: "Master, that's the second sister's Zhang fool, when he was a child, he was infected with wind and cold, burned out his brain, and he was stupid when he grew so big, but even if he is stupid, he will not play with the crying and mourning team?"
"Could it be...... Something happened to Second Sister Zhang's house?"
The old man's cloudy eyes became deep, and he nodded in response, "Let's go take a look." ”
The gloomy sky lined with this funeral scene, it looked more and more terrifying, a gust of wind blew, cold and biting, Li Wanxiao unconsciously tightened the clothes on her body, and prayed in her heart not to have an accident with the second sister!
The two quickly followed the team, and Li Wanxiao looked at the fool Zhang who was following behind in a daze, opened his mouth, and finally sighed lightly and didn't call him.
The old man walked a few steps quickly to catch up with the old man in front of him who was wearing filial piety, and Li Wanxiao still followed behind the team, looking a little lonely, these are all relatives of the Zhang family, and then thinking of the second sister's illness, she has already guessed who is lying in the simple coffin.
"Old Zhangtou, let's mourn and change. The old man looked at the coffin and understood, so he could only sigh and comfort the old man.
The white-haired old man is the father of the second sister Zhang, he and his wife have had five children in their lives, two sons died when they were young, and the other became a fool, leaving the second daughter and the fourth daughter, and now the second child died of illness, he sent the white-haired man to the black-haired man, not to mention how bitter it is.
"Doctor, thank you for thinking about our family. Although the old man was old, when he saw that the doctor was rushing here early in the morning, he immediately understood that the child must have been talking to her master about the second child's illness when he went back yesterday, and the doctor hurried to their house.
The old master waved his hand, "Old Zhangtou, you can take care of your body at this age, everyone has their own life, don't take it too seriously." ”
In a few simple conversations, the old man was surprised to find that the old man's face was a little pale, but thinking that he was so old and had just died of his daughter, it was not bad that his body had not collapsed.
After a few greetings, the old man slowed down and waited for a smile, swept over the group of people who followed behind, and there was still a trace of muttering in his heart, how could there be so many people with blue faces among the relatives of this Zhang family? It's not that I haven't seen it before, his family has been working in the mountains all year round, and all of them are strong and strong, but when they see it today, they all look terminally ill.
What's going on?
"Master," Li Wanxiao followed from behind, with a somewhat strange expression, "They ......"
As soon as the little girl spoke, the old lady knew what she was going to say, although this child was playful, but the basic hope and hearing were still a little bit good, and she must have seen the clues. But people are doing funerals, so it's better not to say these unlucky words.
Chao Li smiled and waved her hand, signaling her not to say more. The master and apprentice quietly lagged behind, and when they were separated from the funeral procession for some distance, the master led Wanxiao back home silently.
When I got home, I sat on a bench in the outhouse and smoked a dry cigarette, and it was darker and the air became humid, but it didn't rain.
"Master, are you still thinking about the second sister's family?"
Li Wanxiao came out of her room, changed into clean clothes, carried a handful of melon seeds in her pocket, and leaned against the door frame and knocked unhurriedly.
The old man knocked his pipe on the ground a few times, and sighed: "I'm afraid something will happen in this mountain." ”
