Chapter 5: Watch
On the night of August 15, it should have been a full moon, but it was pouring rain, a barren mountain thirty miles outside Qianxun City, Tong Fei woke up from his sleep, looked at the wind and rain whistling outside, sat around the straw trembling and swishing, and muttered: "Mother really went to kill him?"
Whenever she wanted to kill someone, the Thousand Poison Girl would take Tong Fei a little away from her battlefield. And Tong Fei was watching in loneliness.
In order to calm himself and dispel the worries in his heart, Tong Fei began to light a fire and boil medicine, which was the only thing he could do. The medicine boiled is naturally "Continuing the Menstrual Immortal Drink"
The process of boiling medicine is very simple. Because Tong Fei didn't have mana yet, he couldn't learn alchemy, so he could only make a decoction, but fortunately, this "Continuation of the Meridian Immortal Drink" was originally a decoction.
A few poisonous poisonous weeds. Add a few flavors of Breitling grass from your own collection, put it into a bamboo fence, then take a water bladder and rinse it, then put it in a clay pot, hang it on the fire and slowly boil it into a medicinal soup
Early in the morning, the wind and rain had stopped.
Thirty miles west of Chihiro City, it is very close to the official road. There are no pedestrians on the road. The border land was originally remote, and the heavy rain had just passed, so there were fewer people walking on the road.
There is a barren mountain in the place where the official road passes, and the barren mountain is nameless, but at the foot of the barren mountain, there is a hut. It was supposed to provide a temporary rest for passers-by, but because no one cleaned it up, it was already very dilapidated. Occasionally, however, some people who have passed by have stayed again.
After the wind and rain, the dilapidated wooden door looked more and more decayed, but the door creaked open, and out of it came a little boy of seven or eight years old. This is Tong Fei, who waited all night in the wind and rain.
"It's dawn, why hasn't my mother come back?"
Tong Fei muttered in his mouth, but his eyes looked at the official road in the distance, anxiously waiting for something.
This is not the first time, Tong Fei seems to have become accustomed to this kind of watch. Lin Yutong always left him behind after he fell asleep and went out alone. Every time I came back, I always had blood or pain. Every time his mother went out, Tong Fei was always waiting with great worry. And as long as he saw Lin Yutong, his heart seemed to return to his chest. Day after day, year after year.
Tong Fei hopes that one day, they can stop and no longer have to worry about waking up and missing their mother's figure, and never see the pain when their mother returns.
Suddenly, Tong Fei saw something! His eyes were a little sluggish! At the foot of the hillside about 100 steps away, near the official road, under a small tree, he saw a black shadow wriggling, and he didn't know whether it was a man or a beast. Tong Fei's heart subconsciously tightened.
This black shadow fell in Tong Fei's eyes, but it was like a thunderbolt, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and there was no time to delay under his feet, he turned around and jumped down the slope, and rushed towards the black shadow.
Although it was only a hundred steps, and the slope was quite smooth, Tong Fei tripped several times because he was in a hurry, but he didn't care at all, climbed up, and continued to rush towards the black shadow. Running all the way, shouting anxiously all the way: "Mother, mother!!" Three steps and two steps, and in a blink of an eye, Tong Fei came to the side of the black shadow
The black shadow had already rolled over, and it was a man who laboriously reached out and held on to a rotten wood stump to support half of his body. Wearing a night robe that is used in martial arts, the black robe is soaked by the heavy rain, sticking to her body, revealing a slender figure, like a black snake. The masked towel slipped under her chin, and there was a faint black aura on her pretty face, which was the true face of Lin Yutong, a thousand poisonous women.
But now her black hair is scattered, her eyes are dull, and she is dressed in night clothes, which are also tattered, and even in some places, her fair skin is exposed.
Lin Yutong's shoulder was deeply scarred, as if it had been burned by a raging fire, as black as charcoal, and black pus flowed out from time to time. And on the tattered coat, there was blood. It appears to have been seriously injured. At hand was a dark red sword.
"Mother!" Tong Fei was about to pounce on him to help, only to hear Lin Yutong shout: "Don't come here!" This voice made Tong Fei subconsciously stop. Lin Yutong's voice was unquestionable, and there was a kind of indifference in his words.
Although Tong Fei stopped, he didn't stop worrying and worrying: "Mother, what's wrong with you!" Tong Fei hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but come forward.
"Stop! If you don't want to die, don't come here!"
Lin Yutong repeated, his voice seemed to be a little weak, and his attitude was as cold as a piece of ice. There is no love between mother and son at all, but like an enemy.
Tong Fei obediently stopped, but he was already in tears, and shouted in his mouth: "Mother, what's wrong with you, are you injured?"
"I don't have a cheap bone!I don't cry, what are you crying about!Didn't I tell you, men don't flick when they have tears!," Lin Yutong scolded contemptuously. Tong Fei didn't feel that she was scolding herself.
However, Lin Yutong's scolding made Tong Fei calm down, and his face showed a composure that did not match his age, and asked, "Mother, tell me what to do?"
Lin Yutong leaned weakly against the stump, sat cross-legged with his might, and then smiled at Tong Fei in front of him and said, "Don't worry, I can't die yet! Go! Go and bring my baggage!"
"Okay, I'll go, mother, you wait for me here!" Tong Feifei also ran away.
When Tong Fei ran back from the hut again, he had an extra burden in his hand, and Tong Fei put the burden in front of Lin Yutong!
Lin Yutong opened the baggage, took out a box, and then turned to Tong Fei and said, "You go farther away, help me look around, I want to heal." ”
This time, Lin Yutong's expression was no longer as indifferent as before. And Tong Fei was also extremely obedient and walked more than a dozen steps towards the official road. He glanced at the left and right avenues very vigilantly, until he found that there was nothing unusual, and then he looked at Lin Yutong from a distance.
Lin Yutong had already put the box on his shoulder, and the wound that was still bleeding last night had become as black as charcoal, and even began to turn into pus like ink.
Lin Yutong stretched out his right hand with great effort, and pressed the mechanism on the box, only to see a seven-colored snake shadow flash out, if there was substance, it hissed at the pus, as if excited.
The Thousand Poison Girl slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath. And the snake shadow also twisted his body endlessly, and then burrowed into the charred wound. In an instant, the wound was swallowed up by the seven colors, and the black slowly turned gray, and the black qi on the face of the Thousand Poison Woman not only did not fade, but became more and more intense. Xiumei frowned, and seemed to be in great pain.
About a cup of tea, the black wound turned into a white blood scab, and the seven-colored snake shadow emerged from it again, but this time it seemed to be a little sluggish, and it quickly re-burrowed into the box. Although there was still a trace of black gas on the face of the Thousand Poison Girl, her expression was a little more energetic than before. After putting away the box, he took out a few pills from the bag and stuffed them into his mouth. Only then did he wave to the boy in the distance: "You, come here!"
"Mother!" Tong Fei has been paying attention, and when he saw the call of a thousand poisonous girls, he ran over as if he was flying. "Mother, are you okay?" Tong Fei stepped forward and was about to take the hand of the Thousand Poison Girl, but the Thousand Poison Girl handed over the burden. It seems to prevent Tong Fei from approaching.
"This time, I was seriously injured, and now I am only temporarily suppressed, if you don't want to die of poison, stay away from me" The words of the thousand poisonous women still seemed to be so cold.
But when Tong Fei heard this, he didn't care, and said eagerly: "How can this be good? What kind of medicine does my mother want, I'll go into the city and buy it for you!"
"Go into the city, is there any medicine to cure me in the city?" The Thousand Poison Girl sneered: "Even if you go, you won't just fall into the trap of those thieves." Even if we can't stay here for long, the thief will be found soon, and when I regain some strength, we'll leave. You go clean up first. Tong Fei nodded when he heard this, and took up the burden, but he didn't move, as if he was hesitating.
"Let's go!" said the Thousand Poison Girl, closing her eyes and breathing to herself.
Tong Fei seemed to have made up his mind, looked left and right, and found nothing unusual, then turned around and walked quickly towards the hut, after a while, Tong Fei had one more burden on his body, one on each shoulder, and an extra dagger on his waist, and then returned to the Thousand Poison Girl.
Lin Yutong opened his eyes and glanced at Tong Feizi, who seemed to be quite satisfied with him cleaning up, and tried hard to stand up, but before he could stand up, he opened his mouth, and wow. But a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and the blood was red and black, which was particularly distinct. Then the Thousand Poison Girl staggered and fell again.
Tong Fei looked at it, was shocked, and exclaimed: "Mother, mother!" This time, Tong Fei didn't care about it at all, and stepped forward to hug Lin Yutong, but she was already dying and could no longer wake up.
Tong Fei hugged Lin Yutong tightly, tears flowed down his face, but he had no idea, he opened the baggage and took out some pills from it, these are all poison-healing pills that Lin Yutong had taken before, Tong Fei pinched one and wanted to send it to the mouth of the thousand poisonous girl, but the thousand poisonous woman's teeth were tightly closed, where could I eat it.
"Ahh
I don't know why, he actually shouted at Changtian: "Help, help! Who can save my mother, I am willing to be a slave for the rest of my life!"
His voice wandered through the empty valley, but there was no one around, and no one could hear his cry!
However, I don't know if it was because of his sincerity, or if there was really a miracle, someone really responded to his request. The voice seemed to fall from the sky: "Are you really willing to be a slave?"
When Tong Fei heard this, he said in his heart: "Could it be that God really heard my request? Send the gods down to save my mother, or the mountain gods?"
