long road

That was hundreds of years ago.

Cang Xiu had just broken the seal on him from the underworld at that time, fled to the mortal world, and planned to revolt after the autumn... planned to do a big job.But the underworld sent a lot of ghost soldiers to hunt him down. He just got out of the seal, and he was weak in mana and body, and couldn't handle the huge army at all.

Cang Xiu fled and hid for nearly a month, and finally passed out in a mountain stream after a certain fierce battle.Fortunately, his strength recovered a little at that time, and all the pursuers who found him were wiped out, otherwise there would be no follow-up story.Just after he was in a coma for about four days, a little brother who went into the mountains to collect medicine rescued him.

The person who saved him will be Yu Lian in the future. Of course, he is not called Yu Lian now, but Wang Xiaoniu. Don't ask me why I have such a name, I just want this kind of local atmosphere.He is a doctor, and his family lives on the edge of the village. Compared with the distance from the villagers' homes, his home is closer to the mountain, mainly to facilitate him to go up the mountain to collect medicine.Speaking of which, his parents both passed away when he was a teenager, and he relied on himself inside and out.He opened a plot of land near his own yard to grow a la carte and herbs commonly used in daily life. Those that were not easy to grow went up the mountain to dig, and occasionally he could dig rare medicinal herbs.For so many years, he has lived by practicing medicine and selling medicinal materials.

Wang Xiaoniu dragged Cang Xiu and his straps back to the small thatched hut where he lived, and was so tired that he was out of breath.Although he often goes to the mountains to collect herbs, he should be healthy and strong, but he really doesn't have a good physical fitness.To be precise, he is thin and thin. Of course, his appearance is not as simple and honest as his name. On the contrary, he has a delicate and elegant atmosphere. When he sat there quietly, he said that he was a scholar who studied since childhood. Not too much.The premise is that the hideous birthmark on his face is missing.

The reason why he lived so far was probably because the children in the village always bullied him when his parents passed away, and he was too lazy to deal with those people, so he moved to the foot of the mountain by himself.After a few years those stupid kids grew up to be sensible and he didn't bother to move back.

After cleaning up Cang Xiu and applying medicine to the wound, Wang Xiaoniu didn't even want to move his fingers.

It had been a few days since Cang Xiu was rescued, and this scarred man had no intention of waking up at all, even though he was breathing, it was heartbreaking to not wake up.Because he didn't seem to be sick, just injured, so Wang Xiaoniu fed him water, food and tonics every day, and he had to apply medicine to the wound.

The consumption of herbal medicines is quite large these days, although Cang Xiu's body is almost healed.So Tianwang Mavericks settled Cangxiu this day, and planned to go to the mountain to step on some medicines to treat trauma to replenish the stock.He carried a small basket of medicine on his back and went out with a medicine shovel.The weather was not good, he had just climbed a dangerous peak when it rained heavily, so he had to find a place to shelter from the rain in a hurry.It rained for a long time without stopping, and he began to worry. There is still someone in the family who can't take care of himself. If he can't go back today, he doesn't know if something will happen to him.

As the sky slowly darkened, he realized that he had been hiding for a long time, and if he continued to delay, he would not be able to return home today.It usually rains only in the mountains, and he has tried to wait for the rain to stop until the next day. It is common for him to spend the night here. There are no wild animals in the mountains, so it is very safe.But not this time, there is still a person lying in the house who will not die but just cannot come.Seeing that the rain had dropped a lot, he decided to brave the rain and go down the mountain to go home.Of course the journey was not smooth, he almost crawled back home, his clothes were soaked and torn in many places, and there were scratches on his face and body, all in all it was horrible.

But when he got home, there was good news waiting for him.

As soon as he entered the room, he planned to look at the unconscious person before cleaning himself up, but unexpectedly the bed was empty, and the person who was lying there disappeared.So did he wake up and leave, or was he carried away by wolves?No, there are no wolves around here.So you finally woke up but just ran away, right?

"I really don't know how to be grateful, so I just left." Wang Xiaoniu muttered to boil water, but he had to clean himself up quickly, and it would be difficult to wait for the wound to be infected or catch a cold.

After finally tidying up himself, checking the wounds on his body and applying medicine, he secretly rejoiced that fortunately he still protected himself, the wounds were not deep and not deep, so it wouldn't hurt for several days.He closed his eyes and fell asleep. He had suffered a lot today, but he never thought that he would come back in vain...

It rained all night, and Wang Xiaoniu couldn't sleep very well, so a noise in the morning successfully woke him up.He hurriedly put on his clothes and went to the yard, only to see a tall man in black, playing with his medicine basket which was soaked by water.This is definitely not someone he knows, at least the people in this village don't dress like this.

"Who are you? What are you doing at my house?" Wang Xiaoniu asked tremblingly.

The man in black stopped his hands, turned to face Wang Xiaoniu and thought: There is such a big birthmark on his face that it looks very vicious.Then he said, "Come back and repay your kindness."

"Oh? Oh? Wait, are you the one I rescued a few days ago?" Wang Xiaoniu was startled, and said, "Didn't you leave?"

The man in black smiled: "I'm just going to do something, I still understand how to repay my kindness." From the facial expression to the voice, there is a breath of other plans.

"Uh, it doesn't matter if you don't need to repay your kindness. I'm a doctor and I'm used to saving people." Wang Xiaoniu laughed dryly. I really dare not accept your repayment for your frightening appearance.

"But I am a person who likes to repay kindness." The man in black continued, and then took out a little rabbit from his arms: "I just caught it at your door, do you want to kill it and eat it?"

"Why is it so cruel? If you want to eat meat, you can buy it. I'm rich too." Wang Xiaoniu took the little rabbit, released it directly, and asked, "Since you want to repay your favor, can you please give me some meat first?" Tell me what's your name? My name is Wang Xiaoniu." After half a day of conversation, I didn't know how to address each other.

The man in black froze for a moment when he heard his name being asked, and then his facial expression twisted again after hearing Wang Xiaoniu's self-introduction, as if he was holding back a laugh.

"..." Wang Xiaoniu didn't miss his expression, and felt very speechless: "What are you laughing at, what's your name?"

Continuing to remain silent, he was debating whether to tell him his real name, but in the end he decided not to, because this Wang Xiaoniu was just a passer-by in his life, and a mere human would definitely not have anything to do with it.So in order to make fun of Wang Xiaoniu's name, he casually made up a name: "My name is Dahu."

... It's not true at first glance, but Wang Xiaoniu is still too lazy to say anything. Anyway, what his name is is not important at all, and the repayment and the like will naturally end in two days, and this person has nothing to do with him!

Yes, neither of them planned to have too much involvement with each other, but unfortunately, the two of them failed to get what they wanted, which can be called entanglement.

Well, so Cang Xiu lived like this, and this stay will have no end.

Originally, Cang Xiu did not plan to stay here for long, but only planned to cultivate. After all, he still has a dream of ruling the world, so it is useless to live in this rural village.Later, he decided to live because the mountain next to him was very suitable for him to practice, and it would allow him to become stronger in the shortest possible time.Just don't be too sympathetic, okay?

At the beginning, Wang Xiaoniu also asked him, why is it that those who repay their kindness are repaying their kindness with revenge, eating his food, drinking his food and using his food, and not seeing people every day, it is like raising a master.After Cang Xiu heard Wang Xiaoniu's complaint, he reflected deeply on himself. Indeed, he was staying here, and being a rice worm didn't seem very good, so when he went to practice in the mountains, he would pick some herbs at random.Wang Xiaoniu was very surprised when he saw the herbs he brought back: These herbs grow in very dangerous places, how can he pick them every time?

But he didn't ask either!Why do you ask, how good it is to get so many precious medicinal materials, and sell them to pharmacies in the city if you don't need them at ordinary times, and make a fortune.What if I ask him to come back without these medicinal materials, he will earn a lot less!

Time passed like this for more than a year, and it was still more than a year of peace in the world!Wang Xiaoniu gradually got used to the life of the two of them, and occasionally he would worry for a long time when Cang Xiu came back late.Sometimes Cang Xiu would not run to the mountains early in the morning, and stayed at home to help Wang Xiaoniu with some work, and even helped Wang Xiaoniu drive away several apprentices a few times.That's right, I said that Wang Xiaoniu looks good.

During this year, whether Cang Xiu hid his aura too well or what, neither the Heavenly Court nor the Underworld came to continue to arrest him.Cangxiu is getting stronger now, but of course he is not strong enough to fight against the Heavenly Court. He still needs to recruit troops and make himself stronger.

This day Cangxiu didn't disappear early in the morning, and in the afternoon he said to Wang Xiaoniu: "I'm going out for two days, you have to be careful."

"Suddenly so serious, where are you going?" Wang Xiaoniu was busy drying the herbs without turning his head.

"I have something to do, I may not be here for a few days, and it won't be long." Cang Xiu patted Wang Xiaoniu's head: "Anyway, please pay attention to safety."

"What danger can I have? I have lived for more than [-] years and I haven't seen anything."

"Two days ago, I was almost underestimated."

"This kind of thing only happened after you came here. It has never happened before. I also find it strange that those people can do anything when they see me like this."

"..." Cang Xiu heard this, looked up and down Wang Xiaoniu carefully, and shook his head helplessly.

In the end, he didn't say anything, and waved away.

Wang Xiaoniu has a schedule today, and the youngest daughter of Uncle Li's family in the village just came to say that Uncle Li is not feeling well, so he is going to see a doctor.Wang Xiaoniu lived in a remote place, and Uncle Li had bad legs and feet, so he couldn't walk such a long way to come here.So after sorting out the medicinal materials, he picked up the consultation box and went out, all the way to Uncle Li's house.
