Chapter 4 Departure

The next morning, the sun was still rising, and the warm sunlight was scattered in this deserted small mountain village.

A few rays of light squeezed in through the cracks in the window, falling on the smiling face, leaping with hope.

This night she felt cold like never before, as if the whole world was gray, there was no one and no life, she was left alone, numb and waiting.

The warm sunlight reflected on her haggard face, and at this time she wished that someone would come and hold her in her arms, even if she didn't speak, she could feel a little warmth.

Looking at the small sunlight and blinking with a gentle smile, Master said that life is a kind of hope, and if there is hope, you must go on strongly.

Master......

Looking at the old man lying quietly on the bed, tears welled up in Wanxiao's eyes, but she didn't let the tears flow out, but silently told Master in her heart that Wanxiao would take care of herself when she grew up, Master, you can go with confidence.

Numbly, he walked out of the room and came to the foot of the back mountain, carrying a hoe to dig a pit little by little. She had never done rough work when she was so big, at most she cooked, boiled water, and dug a big hole so tired that she was covered in sweat.

Roll the master's body in a white cloth, slowly put it into the pit, and then throw away the hoe, hold the dirt in his hand, and sprinkle it one by one.

Tears poured out desperately, dripping into the soil at his feet, and disappeared.

She didn't know how long she had been busy, so she took a board and engraved the words, stood in front of and behind the master's grave, and knelt quietly on the ground.

Her heart was empty, it seemed that there were a thousand words that she didn't have time to say to the master, the words came to her mouth, but she didn't know where to start, she just wanted to accompany the master quietly, as if the master was still alive, sitting next to him, there was an inexplicable sense of security,

Suddenly remembering the book given by the master, Li Wanxiao quickly got up and ran into the house, took out the thick book, leaned against the big stone next to the grave and looked at it word by word, in fact, it was just reading word by word, she didn't know what it meant at all, her brain was wooden, and she didn't want to think about anything.

Time passed very slowly, the rainy air was filled with the fragrance of earth, everything seemed to have not changed, but she knew in her heart that from today on, she could only live alone, and face the future life alone, whether it was difficult or difficult, no one would ever spoil her and love her like Master.

In this way, she stayed here for five days, packed up some clothes and soft clothes, and burned a lot of paper money for Master.

A home without a Master is no longer a home, and she wants to leave here and find her own life, even if it is better to wander around, than to continue to stay in this deserted and sad place.

On the morning of the sixth day, Li Wanxiao packed her luggage and sat on the edge of the bed, holding a piece of paper in her hand on which was the prescription that Master had written down before his death. She always felt that something dangerous must have happened after the master and the village chief went to Niujia Village, otherwise no matter how much plague there was in the deserted Niujia Village, it would be impossible to easily infect the two people who came prepared, and there must have been something going on that she didn't know.

Maybe there really is a plague god coming?

Don't think about it anymore, now she doesn't know where to go, the only thought is only on the prescription in her hand, she wants to make the prescription that the master has studied in retreat into medicine, and then come back, when the time comes, she will go to Niujia Village in person, and she will meet this terrible plague god!

Wanxiao, who made up her mind, carried her luggage on her back, carried her heavy small medicine box, and finally went to put incense on the master.

"Master, Wanxiao is gone, when I find all the medicinal materials and make the medicine, I will come back to avenge you! No matter where he came from, Wanxiao will destroy him and eliminate the harm for the world!"

The firm oath was loud, and a gust of wind rose on the ground, but she couldn't blow away Wanxiao's rock-solid heart, she would definitely avenge her master!

Master, Graceful Laughter will grow! Rest in peace.

Walking on the mountain path, Li Wanxiao felt lost for the first time.

He took out the prescription from his pocket and looked at the handwriting on it, "Panlong ginseng, star anise maple, bear bile, musk, green skin, bitter wood, take yin and yang flowers as medicine, boil for half an hour, three times a day, and take it before meals." ”

They are all very common Chinese medicines, but I haven't heard of this yin and yang flower, and I don't know what the effect is.

"Yin and Yang Flowers...... Yin-Yang Flower ...... Where can I find the Yin Yang Flower?" Wanxiao casually put the prescription back in her pocket, sat on the big stone and muttered while drinking water.

I couldn't figure out anything after thinking about it for a long time, and when I looked at the sun, it was almost noon, and my stomach was rumbling, so I had to find a place to eat first.

Pick up your luggage, put your medicine box on your back, stuff your old water bottle into your carry-on package, and continue on your way. In fact, she didn't bring much when she came out of the house, and the most on her body were medicinal powder and medical books, and there was only a small piece of broken silver and a few copper plates in her purse.

Master has practiced medicine all his life, rarely accepts money from people, and always teaches Wanxiao that human life cannot be offset by money, and that it is the duty of a practitioner to treat diseases and save people, and never to covet wealth and wealth.

I used to feel that what Master said was right, but when I came to the big county, I realized from Wanxiao that not everyone can be as free and easy as Master if they want to travel the world, they can't even eat without money, and they don't even have a place to rest when they are sleepy and tired.

Baiyun County, located at the foot of the world-famous Ling Mountain, the people here live more stable than the people in many places, the reason is needless to say, of course, because the mountain lives with immortals, in this demon-rampaging troubled era, living in the place where the gods live, the people can naturally live and work in peace and contentment.

And this so-called immortal is actually the legendary first sect, the Lingshan faction.

There are many rumors about the Lingshan faction, so many that when you eat a bowl of noodles on the side of the road, you can hear the heroic deeds of the Lingshan disciples who went down the mountain to eliminate demons.

"Lao Li, have you heard that there has been a plague in the mountains in the west recently!"

A middle-aged man in a cloth suit sat on a table next to Li Wanxiao, and said mysteriously to another middle-aged uncle opposite, "You don't know, the plague is said to be terrible, and none of the people in the two villages survived, tsk, it's really miserable!"

"How do you know?" the uncle on the other side was stunned when he heard this, "According to what you say, everyone is dead, why did you hear the news?"

The middle-aged man in cloth clothes sighed, "You still don't believe it? Yesterday morning, when I went out of the stall, I saw Han Qingbo, the eldest disciple of Lingshan, personally bring more than ten disciples up the mountain, and it seems that he should have gone to collect demons." ”

Great disciple of Lingshan?

After eating the noodles in two bites, she drank the soup slowly, disapproving, everyone was dead, and Lingshan sent someone over, so what if she really caught the monster?

"Boss, check out!"

took out his purse, touched two copper plates, slapped them on the table, picked up his luggage and left, planning to find an inn before dark, and settle down first.

At the moment when she stood up, a thin man suddenly walked quickly this way and hit her as if he was not noticing.

"Oops! who!" was knocked back by Wanxiao, and was about to scold, but found that the man had disappeared in a smoke.

"What kind of person! Inexplicable!" "She hasn't been bullied since she grew up, and as soon as she arrived in the county seat, she was hit by someone on her heel, unlucky!

The middle-aged man next to him, who was chatting happily, couldn't help but remind, "Girl, that person is a thief, let's see if your purse is still there!"

"Thief?!" Li Wanxiao couldn't believe it, this thief is too short-sighted now, right?

Quickly touched his waist, and sure enough, the purse was taken away.

It's over!

You don't have to look for an inn, and you can't afford to live if you find it!

Looking at the face money on the table that had not been taken away by the boss, Li Wan smiled and looked at the copper plate, and then looked at the boss who was stunned, and the pitiful appearance made people feel distressed.

After all, the owner of the noodle stall is a good person with a conscience, and after hesitating for a moment, he waved his hand at the little girl and said, "Forget it, let's go." ”

Li Wanxiao was immediately grateful, took back the copper plate, and bowed to the busy noodle stall owner, "Thank you, boss!

Holding two copper plates in her hand, the little girl carried heavy luggage, wandering aimlessly on the street, turning around twice, she planned to go to the pharmacy first to have a look, and ask if there were any yin and yang flowers for sale.

casually picked a larger pharmacy and got in, anyway, she didn't have any money, there was no difference between a big shop and a small shop, after all, she couldn't afford any medicinal materials.

Entering the pharmacy, the medicine seller in the store glanced at her and asked lukewarmly, "What kind of medicine to buy?"

The little girl dressed as a poor person doesn't have much oil and water at first glance, this kind of person is all over the street, and these people who sell medicine have to send a few poor ghosts every day, and they still want to buy medicine to cure their diseases if they have no money?

Li Wanxiao didn't care, she was just here to see, and she didn't have the heart to buy it at all, so she replied to him lukewarmly at the moment, "Do you have yin and yang flowers here?"

"Yin and Yang Flowers?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he almost fell from behind the counter, raised his hand and pushed the small glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said angrily: "You little poor girl, you want to make trouble, right? How can there be any yin and yang flowers in this world? Those are all tricked into playing with children in the story! Even if there is, can you afford it?"

"If you don't buy medicine, you can get me out quickly, don't make a mess here!"

The strength of this shopkeeper is not small, and he even threw away Li Wanxiao with a push, a bunch of luggage and medicine boxes were also thrown to the ground, several medicine bottles were broken, and a lot of white powder was sprinkled.

"The guy who looks down on people with dog eyes!"

When has she ever been so disgusted by Wanxiao? Isn't it just to ask about the Yin Yang Flower, as for throwing her out?

Sitting on the ground, his heart was mixed, looking at the broken bottle, and the medicinal powder sprinkled all over the ground, with tears in his eyes with a smile. Silently cleaned up the mess that was thrown away, the medicine box was broken, and she put the bottles and cans in the package little by little, and left the pharmacy with a blank face.
