Chapter 35: Hong'an Village
This Hong'an village is not big, and there are 100 acres of fertile land around it. Now that the weather is gradually entering autumn, the crops should also be a scene of autumn fruit. But, a ruined picture in the crop field. It's a little weird.
A few people didn't think much of it, and were about to go to a house in a nearby village to beg for water. The family greeted them politely, but when they thanked and left, they were inexplicably asked for silver taels by the male owner of the family. If you want to say that a bowl of water can be worth a few dollars, but people don't give up, they have to ask for a tael of silver.
Although several people are not bad for money, there is no reason to buy a bowl of water for a tael of silver. What's more, it was Sishui himself who drank the water, and he was even more reluctant to pay for it. Therefore, the two sides have been at a stalemate there.
At this time, a girl of seven or eight years old with two pigtails came out of the house, and her little red face was very cute. She walked to the man's feet, pulled the hem of her trousers, and said in a childish voice: "Daddy, my mother said don't embarrass these strangers, let them go." ”
When the man heard this, he became even more anxious, and reprimanded him with some complaints: "What do you know? These people are rich masters at a glance, and if Daddy is holding on, maybe he will be able to get it." When the time comes, you can buy your mother a bowl of fairy water, and your mother's illness will be cured. ”
"Fairy water?"
When Sishui heard this, he asked curiously, "This big brother, what are you talking about fairy water?"
The man's brows tightened, and he said inexplicably: "Let's go, let's go, I won't take your money, let's go." As he spoke, he dragged Sishui and the others out.
Sishui's heart moved, he took out ten taels of silver from his body, shook it in front of the man, and said, "This big brother, if you tell us what fairy water is, these ten taels of silver will be yours." ”
Lei Yueying seemed to be extremely disgusted by Sishui's actions, and crossed her waist and turned her head away. However, the man seemed very excited, and the movements in his hands stopped, looking at the silver in front of him, his heart was very entangled. Then, he looked back at the inner room, sighed deeply and said, "If it weren't for the serious illness of the child and her mother, I wouldn't have blackmailed you for a bowl of water." ”
"What disease is Mrs. Zun suffering from, can you let me give her the number one pulse?" Duan Zixu stepped forward and said with his hand.
"Sir, but it's a doctor?" the man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then his face darkened, and he said, "The doctor has also seen a lot, and they all say that my lady is no longer able to return to heaven." ”
"The healer is virtuous, please lead the way. Duan Zixu insisted again and again.
The man was helpless, or he had a glimmer of life for the joke, so he introduced them into the house.
However, when he arrived in the inner hall, he only let Duan Zixu go in. In this regard, Sishui and Lei Yueying also knew that it was inconvenient, so they stayed in the inner hall and waited.
When he came to the back room, Duan Zixu saw a sick old woman lying under the sickbed. The head was gray-haired, the face was haggard, the lips were shriveled, and he looked weak.
"This is my lady. The man pointed to the man on the bed, then hid his face and said.
"This~" Duan Zixu was shocked after hearing this, this woman looked like she was fifty or sixty years old, and she looked like she was over half a hundred. And the man is in his prime, and the two are husband and wife.
"Don't panic, sir, my lady is not as she seems, only twenty-six this year. The man seemed to see what he was thinking, and opened his mouth to explain.
When Duan Zi heard the words, he stepped forward and called for his wife, only to feel that the pulse was weak and weak, and his breath was vain. And he felt that the woman in front of him was constantly losing her vitality. Although it is extremely slow, I am afraid that it will not be long before it continues.
He put his hand in one hand, looked at the man, and asked seriously, "When did Mrs. Zun's illness begin?"
The man panicked, his eyes secretly aimed at Duan Zixu, and when he saw him staring at each other sternly, he had to say, "It started about two months ago." ”
"Go on," Duan Zixu reprimanded in a low voice.
Two months ago, Wang Dafu's house dug a well, which was filled with sweet fragrance, and people in the village went to his house to fetch water. After drinking the water, it makes people feel refreshed and feel several years younger all of a sudden. That's why we all call it fairy water. Soon after, however, many people in the village began to fall ill, and the symptoms were similar to those of my wife. Only by drinking the well water from Wang Dafu's house did he get better. Wang Dafu saw the righteousness of wealth, and did not allow the big guy to go to his house to fetch water, and a bowl of water would be sold for a penny. At first, the people in the village didn't care, but this Wang Dafu became more and more excessive, from a penny to ten cents, and now he even asks for one or two silver. My wife has to drink that water for a long time to save her life, and everything that can be sold at home has been sold, where is the money to buy water. The man began to cry as he spoke.
"In that case, why don't you organize the villagers to take the well back. It was originally a thing in the village, but how did it become a tool for him to get rich. A flirtatious voice came from outside.
The four waters and the thunder moon are not clear.
The two of them are spiritual masters, and their ears are particularly sensitive compared to ordinary people. They had already heard the man's tears in the house.
The young man said lightly. That Wang Dafu was originally the richest man in the village, and after opening that well, he became richer and richer. Now he has hired several guards with strong martial arts skills to take care of the well water. I heard that this well water has gradually been favored by the lords of Dazhou County, and has begun to be supplied to some large teahouses and restaurants in neighboring counties. In the future, it will be difficult to buy even a tael of silver. How can this be good. The man said, leaning over the bedside and crying under his breath.
"Big man, what does it look like to cry and cry, let it go!" Sishui looked gloomy, squeezed the man away, and came to the old woman.
As early as he entered the village, he felt a discomfort that was difficult to put into words. It wasn't until he came to this woman that he understood what it was like. He could see the vitality of this woman's body, slowly flowing out of her body, but not returning to heaven and earth. Instead, they slowly burrowed underground.
The attraction from the underground is faint, and it is impossible to take life force out of them, the spirit masters. Even the weak vitality of the male owner of this house cannot be taken away.
Then his mind moved, and he bent his hand to her eyebrows.
Sishui's lower abdomen lit up with a faint emerald green light, and a stream of emerald green spiritual power slowly flowed from Sishui's fingertips into the woman's body. The woman felt a clear stream flowing in, and she couldn't help but let out a gasp like a mosquito's chirp.
"Uh~~" The voice was charming and soft, not at all like an old man's voice.
Sishui was the closest, and when he heard the sound, his body couldn't help but tremble, and the spiritual power in his hand paused.
There was silence in the room, and everyone heard the voice. Duan Zixu and the man were just embarrassed and didn't say much. It was Lei Yueying, her cheeks flushed, and she cursed "Phew!" and then turned to leave.
Sishui calmed down and increased the spiritual power delivery in the body, and the woman on the sickbed gradually turned into green silk with the spiritual power, and the wrinkled skin became smooth.
After a quarter of an hour, the 'old woman' was flushed, breathing smoothly and becoming younger. Sishui took a deep breath, and as soon as his momentum retracted, he stopped the transmission of spiritual energy.
"Thank you for saving your life!" The man saw that his lady slowly recovered her appearance, and her face became ruddy, and he hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
"It's a trivial matter, so why worry about it. Sishui pulled the man up with a smile, and then said, "Go get something for your wife to eat." When the man heard this, he trotted out.
At this time, Duan Zixu pulled the four waters, and asked in a low voice: "What kind of treasure can make people have the body of two spirits?"
Sishui couldn't hide it, so he had to pull his clothes up slightly, revealing the emerald green leaves on his abdomen, and said helplessly: "I don't know what treasure it is, I only know that it has grown here now." If Brother Duan is interested, he will study it close to the point. As he spoke, he leaned forward.
Duan Zixu was disgusted for a while, hurriedly took a few steps back, and scolded: "You are disgusting, you are still so close." ”
"It's a treasure! Sishui laughed and deliberately took two steps forward.
"Alright, alright. You're far away, I'm just curious. Everyone has their own opportunities, and to be honest, I envy you. As he spoke, his eyes froze, and he said solemnly: "However, you have to remember not to show this in front of outsiders. You know, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. ”
Of course, Sishui also knew the meaning of this, and seeing that he was so serious, it didn't seem like a joke, so he nodded and said, "In the future, I will try not to use it." ”
Half an hour later, the woman woke up. Although the body recovered, it was still very weak. Despite this, she got up and pulled his husband and daughter to kowtow to him all the time.
If it weren't for Sishui's calm face and refusal, the two of them wouldn't know how long they would kneel.
After coming and going, it was already dark, but the family was at the entrance of the village, and there were no neighbors who were particularly close to each other. The previous movement was not too big, and it did not attract people with good deeds.
The three of them were secretly hiding their figures at this time, constantly wandering around the village.
"What the hell are you going to do? stealing things, I'm not going to do it?" Lei Yueying walked last, complaining in a low voice.
"I didn't say I wanted you to follow, you go to the forest in front of you and wait, and then look for you when we're done. Sishui has always had a bad face towards Lei Yueying, and when he heard her complaint, he immediately retorted.
"Alright, alright, just go and see the reality. Why do you need to be so sneaky, with our strength, can ordinary martial arts people stop it. Duan Zixu was also extremely disgusted by this move, and with a wave of his sleeves, the whole person took off.
Sishui sighed and had no choice but to follow closely.
The three of them used their spiritual power, but after a few breaths, they came to a gorgeous courtyard.
"This is the place where the life force is sucked and finally gathered. Sishui sensed it carefully, and said with a bent hand.
"What a person!" suddenly came from inside the door.
