She saw Bai Yu turn around, and it was true that he didn't look back, so she quickly returned to the stone on the shore to pick up her clothes, squatted behind the stone and put on her clothes, twisted her hair, and then rolled up her long hair. The hair is tied with a wooden hairpin and fixed on the head.
"I've put it on, you can turn around now." She said as she picked up the backpack on the side and carried it behind her back.
Bai Yu turned around. She had her hair tied up to reveal her pretty face, which was pretty good-looking. Her black clothes made of coarse linen had some rusty patterns and were very simple. Overall, she looked like a completely country girl.
"You still want to take my things?" Bai Yu looked at her and saw that she was still thinking about her own things. It seemed that he had really misjudged the person.
"No...no, I think you are seriously injured. My grandma and I are practicing doctors. If you don't mind, you can come to my house to recuperate." She explained hurriedly to avoid being misunderstood by him.
"What's your name?" Bai Yu suddenly asked.
"My name is Wenxiang." She replied softly.
"Wenxiang, I don't have money for you to treat me now, so you can go!" After Bai Yu said this, he closed his eyes and rested. His injuries were getting better quickly.
Wenxiang looked at the jade bottle on the ground. Isn't that money? So he said: "If you give me a jade bottle, it will be considered as the cost of treatment."
Bai Yu opened his eyes and looked at several jade bottles on the ground. He was a mortal now and needed money for food, drink, clothing and housing. These jade bottles could indeed be exchanged for some mortal money. He picked up a jade bottle and threw it to Wenxiang and asked Xiang caught the jade bottle steadily and looked a little happy at the exquisite jade bottle in his hand. Did he promise himself?
Wenxiang walked towards Bai Yu. The injury on his leg was so serious that he would definitely not be able to walk far. She just wanted to go up and help him back.
"I won't go to your house now. I'll just ask you to bring me meals twice a day."
Bai Yu looks like this now, and everyone is afraid of him. His skinny body is almost like a mummy. When he goes out, he will only be shunned and looked at strangely. Moreover, he is very weak now. What if he encounters something? He might not be able to handle the situation, so it would be safer to stay in the mountains for a while.
"Aren't you afraid that I won't come back after I leave with the jade bottle?" Wenxiang asked Bai Yu, hadn't he considered such a thing? He trusted himself so much that he threw the jade bottle directly to him.
"You are a medical practitioner and you know your own conscience. I believe you are a good person." Bai Yu said softly.
After hearing Bai Yu's words, Wenxiang knew that he certainly had a kind heart in practicing medicine. However, they had only met each other not long ago, and he dared to believe in himself so definitely with just a few words. Wasn't he afraid of being wrong in his judgment?
"Okay, I'll bring you a meal later." Wenxiang promised, turned around and walked back the way she came. There were no roads in this place originally. She went into the mountains to collect herbs and saw the clear water here. , the weather was hot, so I came down to take a shower.
She walked back happily holding a palm-sized jade bottle. With this jade bottle, she could exchange it for a lot of money. Then she could go to the city to grab some expensive medicine to treat her grandma's illness. She was very happy. Put the jade bottle into the pouch under your skirt.
Bai Yu closed his eyes and rested his mind. The energy of heaven and earth in the mountain was quite good. He tried to start breathing in and out to practice. As soon as he took a breath, he felt that his whole body was blocked and he could not draw in the energy of heaven and earth.
Is the injury too serious? But it shouldn't be like this. When he tried to absorb it again, a fishy smell came out of his throat and he spat out a mouthful of blood. What on earth was going on?
He didn't believe this evil, so he used the technique again, and this time he vomited blood and fainted.
The sun was setting in the west and it was approaching dusk. Wenxiang returned home. No one came to see the doctor. She dried the herbs she had collected and then went into the woodshed to light a fire for cooking. At this time, her mother walked to the door with a cane and asked: " Ask Xiang, what are you doing making a fire?"
"Aniang, I'm getting ready to cook." Wenxiang said while washing the pot.
"It's still early in the day. Why are you cooking so fast today?" Her mother sat on the small bench at the door and looked at the sky, patting and rubbing her leg joints.
"I get hungry quickly, so I cook faster." Wenxiang put the rice into the steamer and started cooking. Her mother didn't ask much after hearing this. She was tired from going up the mountain to collect herbs, so she might get hungry faster. This is not surprising.
After it was done, Wenxiang put a hatchet on his back, picked up the wooden box containing the food, and said, "Mom, I'm going out and I'll be back soon."
After saying that, Wenxiang ran out the door, carrying the food and ran towards the mountains. Her mother shouted at the door: "Wenxiang, where are you going so late?"
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll be back soon." She shouted from a distance.
She was the only daughter she had, and it was her only support. It was almost dark, so what was she doing running into the mountains? So she sat at the door with a small stool and waited.
When Wenxiang came to the river with the food and was sweating profusely, she saw Bai Yu lying on the ground with a large blood stain in front of him. She hurriedly came to him to check and found that he was still breathing.
"Hey, wake up." Wenxiang pushed Bai Yu gently.
Bai Yu cautiously grabbed Wenxiang's arm again. After coughing twice, he saw clearly that it was Wenxiang, so he let go.
Wenxiang was startled when he grabbed her arm, but he let go immediately.
"You're here, just out of caution. I'm sorry." Bai Yu sat up.
"It's okay, are you okay?" Wenxiang seemed to be weaker when he saw the blood on the ground.
"It's okay, it's getting dark soon. You should go out of the mountain and go back!" Bai Yu saw that she was a girl. It was not safe in the mountains after dark, so he asked her to go back out of the mountain as soon as possible.
"Then I'll go back first. I'll leave the food here for you. I'll come back tomorrow to collect it. There are wild beasts in the mountains at night. I'll leave this knife for you to use for self-defense." Wenxiang put down the wooden box and took out the hatchet from behind and put it together. beside him, then turned and ran away from the mountain.
"Thank you!" Bai Yu said softly. Wenxiang could vaguely hear this sentence as she ran away. After a pause, she continued running towards the outside of the mountain.
Bai Yu took out the food, two bowls of rice, one plate of green vegetables and one plate of fried dried meat. He picked up one bowl of rice and ate it hungrily. He hadn't eaten for a long time, so the food tasted particularly delicious. There is no oil or water left on the plate three times.
He picked up the hatchet and went to the weeds and cut some weeds. Then he walked to the river and took off his clothes. He went down into the water to wash himself with the cut weeds and tied up his long hair with wooden strips. He tied himself up and washed off the tattered clothes. Soon it was completely dark. He went ashore and put on the dry clothes. He looked at the Wanjie Stone, arranged the jade bottle, and then lay down on the stone to sleep.
Early the next morning, the chirping birds in the mountains woke up Bai Yu. He got up and walked to the river to wash his face. He returned to the stone and touched his pants that were drying. They were still a little damp and could barely be worn. He put on his pants and went to the river. Many small trees were cut down around the river and dragged to a flat area by the river. The vines were used to arrange the wooden rafters in rows. Then the wooden rafters were turned over to support them. A simple wooden shed was built, and some vines were cut and woven into a net. , then spread weeds on the roof of the wooden shed, and cover the weeds with a braided rattan net to prevent them from being blown away by the wind.
He flattened the remaining saplings and neatly put them together to make a flatter wooden bed.
At this time, Wenxiang brought the meal and saw Bai Yu's thin body whittling wood, and there was a wooden shed next to it. She was very surprised. His body was so weak, how could he still have the strength to cut wood? A wooden shed was also set up.
"It's time to eat." Wenxiang walked to him. She found that he no longer smelled bad, and his hair was tied up. The complete clothes he was wearing were of very good quality. She wondered if he was a rich man in trouble.
Bai Yu didn't look at her. The knife in his hand was still moving and he said, "Put it down first. I'll eat it after I finish cutting the wood."
Wenxiang felt much stronger after hearing Bai Yu's voice. He became much more energetic one night. She put down the wooden box and turned around to pack away the dishes and chopsticks from last night. She was a little surprised to find that they had all been washed and put away. Although he was taller A bit ugly and scary, but still nice people.
She picked up the wooden box and came to Bai Yu's side. Bai Yu just put down what he was doing, took out the food and ate it. Wenxiang saw him devouring it as if he hadn't eaten for a long time, which looked very pitiful.
"Eat slowly." Wenxiang sat aside and watched him eat in such a hurry, for fear that he would choke.
"I don't know what to call you yet. What's your name?" Wenxiang was curious. There was wilderness above the river. How could he float down from it? Judging from the tattered clothes he was wearing before, could he have fled here?
Bai Yu, who was eating enthusiastically, suddenly stopped using his chopsticks after hearing this. His mouth was filled with food, and then he said unclearly: "My name is Bai Yu, Bai in the daytime, Yu in the feathers." After saying that, he chewed his mouth. Swallowing the food, he continued: "What is this place?"
"This is Xialei Village, Beiliu Town, don't you know?" Wenxiang asked strangely.
"Which state?" Bai Yu asked directly. He didn't care about the town or village. He just wanted to know which state it was in. He was obviously in the Monster Continent, but now there was a person sitting in front of him. He was confused.
"Which state? Oh~Jinzhou, our village is under the control of Jinzhou City." After being stunned for a moment, Wenxiang said with sudden realization.
Bai Yu almost got angry after hearing this. She might have never traveled far and didn't know what he meant by "zhou", so he didn't ask any more, wondering how a country girl would know anything.
"Where did you come from? What could come down from this river." There is a wilderness inside this mountain. No one knows where it leads, and no one dares to go deep, because no one who goes there comes back alive.
Bai Yu was immersed in eating. You didn't understand even if I told you, so he said, "Come from a very far away place."
When Wenxiang heard this, she knew that he didn't want to say it, so she didn't ask anymore and watched him finish the meal, then took the dishes to the river to wash them clean. Bai Yu sat on the stone to rest, staring into the distance blankly. He was thinking about cultivation. If he couldn't recover his cultivation quickly, it would be difficult for him to do things.
At this time, Wenxiang came to Bai Yu after washing the dishes, put the things away, took out a fist-sized clay pot from the backpack, and said, "This is a plaster I developed. It is specially used to treat trauma. It is very effective."
Wenxiang handed the jar to Bai Yu. She knew that Bai Yu's legs and feet were ulcerated, and she was not sure whether her plaster would work. After all, he gave her a lot of money, and she felt a little guilty for only giving him food.
