Chapter 3: Little Sister Cheng Die
"Uncle Seven, don't be busy, I'll come!" Liu Chen looked at the herb embedded in the ice above his head, and touched it about a foot square, without flowers and leaves, full of ice crystals.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Qi's movements in his hand froze, and he raised his head and looked at Liu Chen with doubts and said, "Brother Chen, let's stand firm, you can't move here, if your feet slip, you will die." ”
Liu Chen shook his head and smiled, leaned the cane in his hand against the wall and put it away, then raised his hand and adjusted the fur hat on his head, and when Cheng Qi almost exclaimed, Liu Chen kicked his feet and jumped up suddenly.
"Bang!" Liu Chen slammed his fist into the ice in mid-air, and the ice shattered, and countless ice slags poured down into the bottomless valley like a waterfall.
Grabbing the rock layer inside the ice, Liu Chen once again borrowed his strength to go up, and only after he smashed the third crack in the ice did he finally climb in front of the ice grass.
Ice Ling Grass, cold sex, with ice as roots, snow as leaves, for female practitioners, it has a lot of auxiliary effects, not only that, this grass can also detoxify fire poison, calm the mind, in Youyue Erzhou, the Ice Spirit Pill refined by Ice Ling Grass is quite popular.
Liu Chen lowered his head and exhaled the white frost, leaned over and smiled at Cheng Qi, then grabbed the rhizome of the ice grass with one hand, and after pulling it down, he moved a few times before returning to the same place dangerously.
"Brother Chen, you can't do it like this!" Cheng Qi took the ice grass handed by Liu Chen, but there was no smile on his face, against the strong wind, he twisted his eyebrows and yelled in Liu Chen's ear: "Do you know how dangerous it is, if your feet slip, how can I explain to Miss Beigong when I go back?"
"Got it, Uncle Seven!" Liu Chen leaned against the wall tightly and panted, the vitality in his body was exhausted, without the protection of the vitality, the wind began to tear his cheeks, like a knife and an axe, the pain made him frown, in the blizzard, even if he exported the vitality in the dantian to the peak, this time he picked the grass, he was a little out of strength, just a few times, he was almost blown down by the wind, but he didn't want Cheng Qi to worry, he had been forcibly running the vitality to make himself look safer.
walked through the cliffs, passed through the forest sea, and finally in the evening, Liu Chen followed Cheng Qi back to the town, since Liu Chen took the risk to collect medicine, Cheng Qi did not take care of him along the way, which made Liu Chen depressed for a while, and his heart was full of ridicule.
Back in the courtyard, the sister-in-law of the Cheng family had already prepared dinner, and beckoned Liu Chen and Beigong Fu to sit under the old tree in the Cheng family's courtyard.
"Brother Liu Chen, you must have caused trouble today!" Cheng Die, the little sister of the Cheng family, was a little unhealthy pale on her face, and when she saw Liu Chen sitting down, the little sister endured the discomfort of her body, and said with a well-behaved smile: "Daddy's face is not good, just now I said that you were too reckless." ”
Liu Chen smiled, reached out and touched Cheng Die's head, he couldn't understand the pain caused to his body because of congenital deficiencies, but every time he saw Cheng Die's strong smile, Liu Chen's heart couldn't tell what it was like, but it was just an eight or nine-year-old child, such a forced smile would always be too sad.
Gathered around the small table, Cheng Qi looked at his little daughter with a complicated face, too much helplessness had to let him keep drinking, the sister-in-law of the Cheng family occasionally put a few chopsticks and side dishes on the two children, turned her head, but couldn't help but wet the corners of her eyes.
"Uncle Seven, you said how much it would cost to buy a snow lotus. Liu Chen and Beigong Fu exchanged glances, and immediately hesitated to speak, "Maybe I can help Fluttershy." ”
"I can't buy it!" Cheng Qi put down the wine cup, sighed a little helplessly, and said: "No one has seen snow lotus in the town for more than a hundred years, besides, if there is really a plant, unless we pick it ourselves, otherwise, it is impossible for people to sell it to you, that baby, going to Qizhou will cause a lot of sensation." ”
The meal was a little tasteless, Liu Chen ignored Beigong Fu, returned home alone, closed the door, and sat on the bed like that, not knowing what he was thinking.
"For eight years, Uncle Seven didn't pick up Snow Lotus for Fluttershy, and I sent a message to others to find it, but I searched all over Qizhou and Jinzhou, but there was no news of Snow Lotus. ”
"Such a treasure is inherently unavoidable. Beigong Fu followed Liu Chen into the room, lit a white candle and sat opposite Liu Chen, and said lightly: "This is the life that God has given to everyone." ”
"Do you believe in fate?" Liu Chen glanced up at Beigong Fu, and sighed again: "I don't believe it, if I believe in fate, should I die by the Canglan River in the first year of the Apocalypse, if I believe in fate, after the Dragon Boat Festival, I shouldn't be alive!"
"Are you feeling compassion for Cheng Die?"
"That's not called compassion, I'm a human being, of course I should do what a human being should do!"
"Shouldn't cultivators be too forgetful?"
"Fu, this is the second time I've heard someone tell me today. Liu Chen gently grabbed Beigong Fu's hand, put it in his heart, and said lightly with a stern face: "It's true that I am a cultivator, I practice, for the sake of being strong and for immortality, but if immortality and strength require me to pay the price of being too forgetful, how will I do it? Do you feel it, even if you are as ugly and fat as a pig, but you also live in the bottom of my heart!"
Feeling a powerful beating in Liu Chen's chest, Beigong Fuwan smiled, and immediately withdrew his hand and said: "Actually, you don't have to emphasize the ugliness of my skin every time, you know in your own heart that often those beautiful things are always short-lived." ”
Liu Chen smiled at Beigong Fu, then sat up cross-legged and straightened, and as soon as his eyes were closed, he was immersed in the ethereal sound of listening to the mountain scriptures.
Beigong Fu didn't look at him anymore, but sat back on the edge of the small table, and gently spread out the scroll by the faint candlelight.
Today's medicine collection did consume a lot of Liu Chen's energy, and after taking Na Yuan Dan, he could feel that his sea of qi was greedily absorbing the vitality of heaven and earth.
After a night of silence, the rooster crow outside the courtyard interrupted Liu Chen's cultivation, he slowly opened his eyes, and just as he was about to get out of bed, he heard a quarrel next door.
opened the door and walked out, Liu Chen saw Cheng Die, whose face was full of tears, being hugged by his brother, and the two children leaned tightly against the fence of Liu Chen's yard, looking helplessly at the group of uninvited guests gathered at the gate of his small courtyard.
"Cheng Qi, you deliberately can't get along with my family members!" A man with rat eyebrows and thief eyes stood beside a circle of bearded men, and looked at Cheng Qi with a red face arrogantly: "This is the first time, I can't count it, don't give you some color, you really don't know how many eyes Lord Ma has!"
There were more and more people around the gate of the Cheng family's small courtyard, and the sheep intestine path outside the courtyard was already impassable, Liu Chen turned over and crossed the bamboo fence between the two houses, and came to Mrs. Cheng, who was bowing her head and sobbing, and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, what's the situation?"
