Chapter 37: Return to the Central Plains
The black cat first poked out a head, revealing half of its ears, and when it saw that the two desert lizards fell to the ground and did not move, the black cat finally got out of Xiaoyaozi's arms and returned to Xiaoyaozi's shoulder again, "Meow~".
"It's time for us to go. It's not early, I don't know where we are tonight, and we don't have much food and water. Xiaoyaozi seemed to be saying to the black cat, as if he was talking to himself.
Striding away, facing the sun, one person, one sword, one cat.
Xiaoyaozi felt that it was more interesting to go back than on the way when he came, perhaps because of this black cat. However, it is undeniable that this black cat is in this lonely desert, bringing a touch of happiness to Xiaoyaozi.
"In the future, I'll call you Xiao Hei, okay?" Xiaoyaozi suddenly turned his head, looked at the black cat on his shoulder, and said with a smile.
"Meow~" The black cat barked softly again.
"Then I'll take you as a promise~Xiao Hei~" Xiaoyaozi said to himself.
"Meow~"
"I guess the bear should like you very much when he sees you, that kid just likes small animals, and I believe he will take good care of you. Xiaoyaozi suddenly thought of the bear with a simple and kind nature, and suddenly became energetic.
The road is never far, it's just who accompanies you.
In Xiaoyaozi's life, there has never been a woman, not because he doesn't like women, but because people who walk the rivers and lakes can't have feelings.
Xiaoyaozi once had a woman she particularly liked, but unfortunately she was a Qinglou woman.
It is said that Xiaoyaozi has such a handsome appearance and is not short of money, why would he fall in love with a girl in a green house?
The reason for this is probably only known to Xiaoyaozi himself.
Xiaoyaozi has come alone for so many years, and now, after accepting Xiong as an apprentice, Xiaoyaozi feels that his life is no longer monotonous. At the very least, he has a goal and a direction to run.
It is Xiaoyaozi's dream to train Xiong to become a famous chivalrous man, although it is still far away, but Xiaoyaozi is convinced of Xiong's ability.
Xiong is a benevolent person, and this kindness, if used in the market, may be ridiculed, but if one day, Xiong can sit in the position of dominating the rivers and lakes, this kind of character will be his great wealth.
In fact, Xiaoyaozi doesn't know what Xiong's future will be, whether he will become a killer or a chivalrous, everything is unknown.
Xiaoyaozi just thought about it, and moved forward in thought.
Unconsciously, Xiaoyaozi walked dozens of miles again.
"Meow~" The little black cat on Xiaoyaozi's shoulder barked again. Xiaoyaozi raised his head and looked into the distance, and he smiled. Finally, I returned to the land of the Central Plains.
Walking out of the Desert of Death, Xiaoyaozi didn't even have time to pat the sand on his body, so he went directly to the post station to rent a fast horse, threw fifty taels of silver to the boss, and then rode away.
The sound of horses' hooves, "Da Da Da~". Xiaoyaozi rode a horse and hurried to the Valley of the Medicine King.
Perhaps, Xiong should be fine, Xiaoyaozi thought.
In the Valley of the Medicine King, Xiong held his chin and looked at the flowers outside the window, and fell into deep thought, this place is beautiful and quiet, and these days in this place, Xiong found that he liked this place a little.
Although Xiong was a little resistant when he first arrived, the longer he came, the more he found that this quiet valley had a bit of the taste of his hometown. Bears love it.
"What are you thinking?" asked the ghost doctor, who had just returned from outside, looking at the bear in a daze.
"I'm thinking," Xiong wanted to speak, but suddenly, as if frightened, he turned his head to look at the ghost doctor, "I didn't think about anything. ”
The ghost doctor smiled, he knew that Xiong had something on his mind, but he didn't want to tell others, maybe his relationship with Xiong had not reached the point where he had nothing to say.
It stands to reason that the ghost doctor helped Xiong heal his illness and saved Xiong's life, but Xiong was not grateful to the ghost doctor at all. Because the ghost doctor did not unconditionally help the bear heal, but used this as a condition for Xiaoyaozi to go to the Western Regions to catch killer bees.
Xiong felt that this was a bit like a transaction, Xiaoyaozi paid for himself, and he didn't owe anything to the ghost doctor. But for Xiaoyaozi, Xiong feels that he owes him too much, and he may not be able to pay it off in this life.
Counting today, Xiong has been in the Medicine King Valley for fifteen days.
For the past fifteen days, Xiong took two doses of medicine prepared for him by the ghost doctor every day.
In fact, the ghost doctor didn't know much about the bear's disease, and the ghost doctor had never studied the Kunlun clan, nor did he know the secrets of the Kunlun clan. However, this symptom of bears can also be suppressed by ghost doctors in other ways.
The ghost doctor once encountered a case of a similar madness caused by the agitation of a certain substance in the body, which is very similar to this symptom of a bear. So, the ghost doctor concocted the same method and prepared this medicine for the bear, but added some calming drugs to it and gave it to the bear.
Coincidentally, this drug really had an effect on the bear, and within a few days, the bear's abnormality was completely gone. Originally, Xiong hated to drink these bitter decoctions, but the ghost doctor said that the amount of potions had not yet been reached, and he had to drink them for fifteen consecutive days.
Today, it is exactly fifteen days, and if you drink the medicine again in the evening, the bear's medicine can be stopped. Thinking of this, Xiong was a little happy, and finally he didn't have to drink that weird-tasting decoction.
However, the master has been out for so long and hasn't come back, so there won't be anything, right? Xiong has never been to the Western Regions, he only knows from other people's mouths that the Western Regions is a magical place. As for how magical it is, the bear has no way of knowing.
"Don't worry, your master will be fine. As if he had guessed the bear's thoughts, the ghost doctor sat down at the table with a smile and said while making tea.
Xiong frowned, raised his head and looked at the ghost doctor, "How do you know?"
To be honest, even Xiong, who has been with Xiaoyaozi for a year, can't guarantee that Xiaoyaozi is fine, how can this old man who has known Xiaoyaozi for a few days be so confident that Xiaoyaozi will be fine?
"Your master's strength is still okay, and there are still very few people who can enter me and find me. The ghost doctor poured himself a cup of tea, held the teacup and said slowly, "After all, I am still very confident in the formations and mechanisms I have laid out. ”
Xiong didn't expect that the ghost doctor was a Langzhong, but he actually knew about these delicate organs and the five elements of the formation, it seemed that the ghost doctor was not a simple person.
Perhaps, what the ghost doctor said is right, his master will really be fine.
Xiaoyaozi suddenly laughed. Yes, my master is a killer, and he can be a killer for 20 years and still live well, isn't it just a trip to the Western Regions, how can there be anything?
A drop of cold liquid dripped onto the bear's cheek. The bear poked his head out and looked out the window, it was raining.
The rain was dripping
