Chapter 47: The Witch Doctor's Position

"This goes to the southwest hundred miles, is the southern wilderness mountain, among which the spiritual objects, the beasts are countless, when I was young, I accompanied the master to travel to the mountains to know medicine, in one of the four ring mountains, the northwest peak, I saw a sequoia, the redwood fruit, is a rare spiritual thing.

When Master and I saw this, we were sure to pick the fruit, but who would have thought that there would be a herd of apes waiting for this thing, and we strayed into it, and we were surrounded in an instant, and Master fought with his life to save me.

Since then, I have never stepped out of Miao Village, but I have never forgotten the matter of the redwood fruit, as long as you can pick the red shirt fruit, the fetal mark on Ah Nan's face can be removed. ”

Liuyu's faint voice recounted the past events, but she could still hear that she was worried about this matter, and now she was still in her heart, Qiu Xin asked in a voice, "Since my mother-in-law knows where the sequoia fruit is, why do you have to wait until today to pick the fruit, and there are many good hunters in the village, and it is not a problem to pick a few fruits from the hands of the apes, why bother, why bother..."

"Alas... , Such a workaround, I didn't think about it, but I gave the child's life in vain, I told Ah Nan's parents about it, they must have remembered it, and it was because of this incident that they both died. ”

The tears from the corners of her eyes finally slipped down, and her voice trembled, which made people feel it, and then she said, "And although the redwood fruit is effective, it is in danger of dying, and no one in the village wants to go, and as a witch doctor, I don't want anyone to die in vain."

But you are different, the Miao people never practice martial arts, but you are heavy and poisonous, deep into the viscera and not dead, the strength of vitality is really rare, and you are a member of the Central Plains. must be armed with martial arts.

This is an obstacle, although the chances of obtaining sequoia fruit are not large. But I'm going to give it a try anyway, so I can save your life. I hope you feel sorry for Ah Nan, and you can deal with this matter. ”

Qiu Xin really feels sorry for Ah Nan, it is indeed like a second self, and now even his own life is saved by Liuyu, why don't you dare, as soon as she thought of this, Qiu Xin said, "Mother-in-law, don't worry, even if I try my life." Bring back the redwoods as well. ”

Liuyu smiled, the heavy eyelids finally closed, Qiu Xin saw this and held her arm, found that her heart pulse had been lost, and broke her last breath.

At this time, Ah Nan happened to walk into the house with the decoction of the medicine, put the medicine on the table, and said with a smile, "Big brother, is grandma asleep again?"

Qiu's heart was stuffy. "Grandma is tired, so she fell asleep." As he spoke, he saw the steaming potion in the bowl. He Shou Wu, Angelica, Ejiao. They are all medicines that replenish qi and blood, and the flowing palmetto does not forget the beginning of the autumn heart detoxification while opening the Ah Nan. Loss of qi and blood.

With all kinds of unspeakable feelings in his heart, Qiu Xin hugged Ah Nan. "Let's go, come with me to the priest." When they walked out of the house, the courtyard was full of Miao people.

Feeling something, Qiu Xin put Ah Nan down, pulled her over, and several Miao people, three men and four women, stood in front of her, with anger on their faces.

"Outsider, where is the witch doctor? The person who came was not as respectful as the witch doctor from time to time, and there was a lot of bad words in his words, Ah Nan seemed to be very afraid of these people, hiding behind Qiu Xin, Qiu Xin squatted down and comforted him lightly.

Ah Nan swallowed and said, "They are grandma's apprentices, grandma is sick, they must have come to rob the witch doctor's position." The three men and four women looked at Qiu Xin condescendingly, but they didn't see Qiu Xin talking, and they were already furious.

As disciples of witch doctors, the candidates for the next generation of witch doctors are among them, so they are naturally different from ordinary Miao people, and they are inevitably a little arrogant.

Qiu Xin stood up at this time, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Since you are your mother-in-law's disciples, you are naturally not outsiders, but today's mother-in-law is unwell and can't see guests." ”

One of the short disciples said angrily when he heard this, "Why can't you see a guest, the old woman is about to die when she sees it, and she is not sure who will be a witch doctor, do you want to wait for this little bastard to grow up?"

There was a scar between this person's eyebrows, and he couldn't help but have no respect, and he spoke ill of each other, and the spearhead was pointed at, it turned out to be Ah Nan, who had deep fear in his eyes, and Qiu Xin saw it in his eyes.

At this time, one of the women, dressed in sackcloth and mink, did not feel a trace of discomfort, and said, "If the teacher is sick, please ask Your Excellency to do the work for you, and I will leave." ”

"Iris, what are you going to do?" the other six people said in unison, drinking Iris, Iris's face changed slightly, and she sighed, "Senior brother, senior sister, I am not interested in the position of witch doctor, and I really can't do these things. ”

After the other three women finished speaking, they immediately said with a disdain, "Yuan Dai, who doesn't know that you have feelings for Senior Brother Liuran, but at this time, you still have to pretend to be high. ”

Iris Dai took a step back, obviously drawing a line with the other six people, and bowed slightly, but it was obviously the etiquette of the Central Plains, "Iris Dai has no intention of competing with you for the position of the witch doctor, and I don't have any opinion on any of you being a witch doctor." ”

After speaking, she retreated into the crowd, and the other six people didn't know whether they were glad or angry that Kite Dai escaped from the battle, so they wanted to break into the courtyard, Qiu Xin raised her arm and said calmly, "As I said, my mother-in-law is in poor health and I don't see guests today." ”

"If you don't see it, you won't see it?" One of the sturdy men casually raised a bamboo cane and chopped down with both hands.

Seeing this, some people were worried about Qiu Xin, and some people secretly scolded him for deserving it, Ah Nan hugged Qiu Xin tightly with both hands, very scared.

The bamboo cane hit straight down, and under everyone's attention, Qiu Xin's arm bent slightly, and at a slightly invisible speed, he grabbed the head of the cane in his hand, and after a muffled sound, no matter how hard the strong man tried, he couldn't beat it, and his face suddenly turned red.

At this moment, he wanted to pull the bamboo cane back, but he was firmly held in his hand by Qiu Xin, and he had no choice but to let go, retreating to the side angrily, and his wrist was shaken to the core.

The rest of the Miao people were all surprised, and then Qiu Xin said, "Since you are a disciple, you should respect the teacher, and you really chill your mother-in-law's heart by doing this, and she wasted her teaching." ”

"Hmph, if she really has affection for her disciples, we should be grateful to Dade, but she showed no mercy when she drove us away, and who would pity her today. ”

One of the women was wearing silver ornaments, which looked very luxurious, Qiu Xin was indifferent, and when he heard this, he said, "I don't want to know about the grievances here, but if you want to go in today, it is really impossible." ”

Qiu Xin pushed Ah Nan behind him, and then pushed his palms forward, and the brilliant four-colored true qi turned into a dragon and tiger, and sent the six people out of the hospital, dusty, and everyone was shocked.

The six of them had angry words in their chests, but seeing Qiu Xin's amazing ability, none of them dared to step forward, Qiu Xin clapped his hands, pulled the stunned Ah Nan, and said with a smile, "How is it, is the big brother powerful?"

Ah Nan nodded heavily, her eyes were full of admiration, Qiu Xin touched her head dotingly, and the six people who were thrown out of the hospital saw this scene, ashamed and angry, and the noble woman said, "This is my Miao village, you dare to be ruthless here, the priest will not spare you." ”

Qiu Xin said, "You can go to the priest and see if he is reasoning or helping you." Qiu Xin said a word, laughing at a few people for being unreasonable, but he was not afraid.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone heard the sound of a loud drum beating from the altar next door, and the rumbling sound resounded through the village, and everyone was attracted by the sudden sound.

At this time, all the Miao people knelt down together, even Ah Nan also knelt on the ground, and after a full eighteen drum beats, he heard the voice of the priest from the vicissitudes of life:

Witch doctor Liupalmetto, this life to save countless people, medical ethics are very good, this year-round, by the body of the burial, the village silently guarded for three days, do not hunt, do not go out of the house, by the kite Dai temporarily on behalf of the witch doctor, funeral ceremony.

The priest's words went far and wide, and when they had finished speaking, all the Miao people prostrate, "Follow the decree of the priest." Everyone woke up, and the six disciples had anger in their eyes, but the priest's words, they could not disobey, so they could only bow to the kites and say, "I have seen the witch doctor." ”

After finishing speaking, several people did not stay for a moment, and left the place with the Miao people, and Yuan Dai was a little overwhelmed, not expecting that the priest would appoint him as a witch doctor, but he was quite dissatisfied with the other six disciples.

Liuyu passed away all year round, they didn't see the words of mourning, they were thinking about the position of the witch doctor, Ah Nan saw these people leaving, naturally thought that Qiu Xin drove away these people, the priest's words, she heard half of it, then thinking about Qiu Xin and asked, "What's wrong with grandma, why do you want her to be a witch doctor?"

Ah Nan pointed to Iris Dai, there are a lot of these people who have come this time, so naturally they have no good impression of these people, Qiu Xin sighed in her heart, "Grandma has gone to a far away place, and someone needs to treat people instead of her." ”

Ah Nan seemed to realize something, struggled to break free from Qiu Xin's embrace, and cried, "You lied, grandma is obviously still there, how can you say that she is gone." ”

The little girl ran into the house crying, and a heartbroken cry came, Qiu Xin's soul was broken, she shook her head, and said to Kite, "Before the mother-in-law left, she did not arrange any offspring witch doctors, so she will not let you enter the house, but since the priest has appointed you, the mother-in-law's funeral, the girl will bother." ”

Seeing that Ah Nan trusted Qiu Xin so much, and this person had lived here for many days, she was also a little curious in her heart, but she didn't ask much, and bowed her head slightly, "Master is mourning, and Yuan Dai's heart hurts, can you let me go and see her." ”

Although Qiu Xin's words were more polite, but Yuan Dai saw that Qiu Xin easily forced the six people back, and naturally she was afraid, Qiu Xin was embarrassed to turn sideways and let go of the courtyard door, and said, "Naturally." ”

When she entered the house, Ah Nan was already crying hoarsely, and her big eyes were not as bright as usual.

Pulling Qiu Xin hoarsely said, "Big brother, you save grandma, save her." ”

Qiu Xin's hand was raised, placed on Ah Nan's neck, and stroked it slightly downward, Ah Nan fell asleep, perhaps only in a dream, can forget all this sadness and pain, just like the original self.

The sky is getting dark, and there is no starlight in the night sky, as if to comfort the passing of the Palmetto. (To be continued.) )
