The atmosphere along the way was lifeless, like a day with continuous light rain, without any life.
Both Jing Chun and Nan Muze looked extremely ugly, and neither of them said another word along the way.
Xiao Qing held Liu Shengsheng's hand very familiarly, her two little faces flushed, "Both of the girl's brothers are very handsome. This is the first time I have seen such a handsome man, especially the one at the back..." …”
Hearing this, Jing Chun's depressed mood finally eased a bit. He raised his eyebrows at Nan Muze with some pride, but Nan Muze ignored him.
Then I heard Xiao Qing whisper: "At first glance, I thought he was a little girl. You said his hands are so rough, but why is his face so white and tender?"
Jing Chun: "..."
"All pretty boys are like this."
Nan Muze added, with a hint of smile in his words.
Liu Shengsheng couldn't help laughing, "Just keep these words in your heart, there is no need to say them out loud."
Xiao Qing immediately covered her mouth, "Sorry, I said the wrong thing."
No, she said it so quietly, how could they hear it all?
It's so strange...
After walking along the trail for a long time and passing several forks, they finally walked out of the forest.
As soon as they came out of the forest, they saw a small village.
There are probably only a dozen or so households in that village. At a glance, you can only see villagers in twos and threes on the narrow streets. Maybe if you stand farther away, you can still see some scattered houses, but at least at first glance you can only see them. Saw a dozen houses.
When the villagers saw Xiao Qing, they felt as if they had seen the god of plague, and several of them hid in their houses.
There was also a more courageous grandma who stood on the roadside and said hello to her, "You're back, Xiaoqing? Did you find the medicine?"
Xiao Qing smiled enthusiastically, "I found Granny Ye. I'm fine now. Look at me, I can run and jump!"
Grandma Ye smiled, showing her only two remaining teeth.
"Hey, you can really run and jump. Have you been to the City Lord's Mansion? I heard that the City Lord's Mansion is quite old-fashioned."
Xiao Qing scratched his head and said, "No need to go, I found some kind people, they will give me and my dad medicine. I'm going back to see my dad first. See you later, Granny Ye."
With that said, she waved her hand and pulled Liu Shengsheng towards a dilapidated house.
The village was very small, and their conversation quickly attracted many villagers to poke their heads out and stand in front of their homes, staring blankly at them.
Those eyes that have never seen anything new are like looking at some rare treasure...
Jing Chun felt very uncomfortable being looked at, "I don't understand why you came to this remote country, why don't you go back quickly while the rain is light?"
Nan Muze said coldly: "You can go back and tell everyone in the City Lord's Mansion that the king is fine."
Jing Chun smiled and said, "Do you want me to help spread the word, or do you want to stop me from being with the poisonous girl?"
"You two are so childish."
Liu Shengsheng finally couldn't help but complain.
Xiao Qing in front has already walked into a door, "Brothers, girl, this is my home."
Nan Muze suddenly took Liu Shengsheng's hand and said, "There is water ahead, be careful."
Liu Shengsheng naturally saw the puddle in front of her, but in response to Nan Muze's kind reminder, she just nodded slightly, withdrew her hand and said, "I suspected that the source of the poison came from here, so I came over to take a look, but Jiangcheng can't do that right now. Without you, otherwise you..."
"No."
Nan Muze said calmly: "Whenever you go back, I will go back."
"Poisonous girl, what are you two whispering about?"
Jing Chun suddenly squeezed in between them, interrupting their conversation.
Nan Muze endured his anger and pushed him away.
Liu Shengsheng rubbed her head and followed Xiao Qing into the yard.
As soon as I entered, I heard a cough coming from the room in front of me.
The sound of coughing.
"Ahem, cough, Xiaoqing, is it Xiaoqing?"
"Dad, it's me! I'm back with the antidote!"
Xiao Qing quickened her pace and ran in, followed closely by Liu Shengsheng.
As soon as she entered, she saw an old man in his seventies or eighties. The old man had white hair and dark lips that were so dry that they seemed to burst. Just by looking at him, you could see how weak he was.
He was holding a handkerchief in his hand. The handkerchief was red and dazzling. It was obviously the blood he had just vomited...
Xiao Qing rushed to the bedside, "Dad, are you coughing up blood again?"
The old man shook his head, "You're old, it's okay. Why did you come back so soon? Didn't you go to the city lord's mansion to look for medicine?"
"It's like this, Dad. I fainted from exhaustion on the way. It was these people who rescued me. They also gave me the antidote. I feel refreshed now and don't feel tired at all. This girl is so kind. Kindness, she said she still has medicine, and you will be fine now."
Xiao Qing said happily, while pulling Liu Shengsheng to the bedside, "Girl, please..."
Liu Shengsheng looked at the old man quietly, and then reached out to check his pulse.
Xiao Qing was stunned for a moment, "What is the girl doing? Does the girl know medical skills?"
Liu Shengsheng said nothing, but Jing Chun responded: "Not only does she understand, but she also has superb medical skills. Meeting her is the greatest blessing for you and your daughter."
Liu Shengsheng glanced at him helplessly, "Don't praise me."
Jing Chun shrugged and said no more.
Xiao Qing glanced at Jing Chun blankly, then turned his attention to Liu Shengsheng, "If dad is just poisoned, he will be fine after taking the antidote, right? What is the girl looking at right now?"
"Ahem, cough, cough, I'm old and my bones are no longer good. There's no need for me to waste energy on my old bones. I know my own."
The old man's tone was particularly weak.
Liu Shengsheng finally put away her hand and took out a pill with her other hand, "You have been poisoned for too long. The poison has corroded your internal organs. Just taking one antidote is not enough. You have to take one today and tomorrow." Only when the amount is sufficient can it be possible to detoxify the poison."
The old man took the medicine and swallowed it in one gulp.
Xiaoqing said with bright eyes: "Girl, will it be fine after taking medicine?"
Liu Shengsheng's face was extremely heavy, "Take the medicine and the poison will be cured."
"That's good! It'll be great if daddy can recover!"
Xiaoqing was overjoyed and took Liu Shengsheng's hand, "Thank you so much, girl. Fortunately, there is a girl here. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do. You don't know. I saw my father vomiting blood this morning, but you can't help me." I’m so scared!”
"When did he start vomiting blood?"
"Just yesterday..."
Xiao Qing thought for a while and then said: "I have been coughing violently for the past two days. I didn't expect it to be so serious at the time. I thought it would be fine if I rested. But then I vomited blood when I coughed. It was really scary..."
"How old is your father?" Liu Shengsheng asked again.
Xiao Qing scratched his head and said, "Three to seventy, no, the New Year is over and he is already seventy-four."
No wonder.
In this world where medical skills are underdeveloped, living to this age is already considered an advanced age.
Liu Shengsheng's face was extremely heavy, but she didn't expect the old man to say: "Silly girl, don't tell anyone about your father's age. If you don't tell anyone, ahem, people won't be able to tell. Look at how strong my bones are. If not, Even though I suddenly fell ill, I was still able to carry a box of pastries to sell every day."
Hearing this, Liu Shengsheng immediately asked: "Do you still sell pastries?"
