It was night, when he returned to the bedroom, Shi Yaoguang asked Shui Jianqing: "Cousin, for the little cousin's illness, how sure are you that you can cure it?"

Shui Jianqing replied cautiously: "I have carefully read medical books, summed up the experience of predecessors, and added the exotic flowers and plants I picked, about [-]% of them can be cured."

Shi Yaoguang played with the amethyst stone again, and said: "Another person said that we are immortals descending from the earth, as long as we cultivate, we can return to the fairy garden! Cousin, what's your opinion on this statement?"

"It's just nonsense, it's unacceptable."

"I also think what the old man said is absurd. If we are immortals, then we have magic power, how can we be like ordinary people now! But what is his intention in saying that?"

Shui Jianqing shook his head.

Shi Yaoguang said again: "He also said that this amethyst stone has mysterious power. I think it is quite beautiful, and it is suitable for decoration in the room. As for other uses, I think he is bragging."

Shui Jianqing replied: "It's understandable that he wants to promote sales, but don't worry about it, just put him on the wooden platform opposite the bed."

Shi Yaoguang did as he was told, opened the window again, and got into the bed.

When the two were sleeping soundly, the amethyst stone on the opposite side reflected the moonlight, calling each other, and emitting a faint silver-purple light, which gradually expanded to the two of them.

Clouds and mists, auspicious air, Qionghua Qicao, rare birds and animals, are indescribably beautiful and bright; three rooms with glazed tile window frames, jasper roofs, and emerald palaces and pavilions are crystal clear and majestic. .An old man with white temples, silver hair, red face, kind eyebrows and kind eyes stepped on a colorful cloud and was talking to a man in white clothes with a tall and straight figure, sword eyebrows and star eyes, and a breeze in front of a round mirror on his chest.

"Jingdan, your gaffe this time is justifiable. If you had stopped Huo Dong'er early in the morning, it would be hard to keep him from doing other tricks. If I talk to the Queen Mother, please ask her to punish you and demote you to Yunpu It is better to be trained in the garden for ten days than to be banished to the mortal world.”

Jingtan heard the words and replied: "Thank you for your care. But if I had spoken to the Queen Mother earlier and made her leave the banquet, what happened later would not have happened. Liubiyuye is not easy to come by, but The queen mother meticulously collected the fairy rock spiritual jelly that had grown in the five-colored mountain peaks for ten years; the jade bottle is also a rare treasure, and it is a pity that it is suddenly destroyed. Fortunately, the fairy maidservant is fine, otherwise it would be It's harder to forgive."

Hearing the words, the fairy still persuaded: "The two maidservants are not good at morality. The cloud was originally a magic weapon bestowed by the Queen Mother to protect them. It is reasonable to be able to resist Huo Rong'er's attack. It must be that the maidservant's inattention caused Huo to protect her body." Han'er can take advantage of this opportunity. The Queen Mother took this opportunity to punish the two fairy maidservants, and she may have other deep intentions to train them, so she arranged some disasters after they descended to the world. But it is too harsh for you."

Jingtan replied again: "It doesn't matter, I'll take this trip down to earth as a practice. The fairy don't need to worry about me, but what disaster will happen to the fairy maidservant? Can there be rescue?"

Immortal Weng caught a glimpse of Jingtan's usually indifferent face with a trace of tension, and he refused to listen to persuasion and insisted on going down to earth, so he couldn't help thinking to himself, "Could it be that he moved Fan's heart?" The jade bottle was broken, and the other one disobeyed the guests and disrespected the immortals, so they deserved to be robbed. I don’t know the details at this time, but I only know that you and Huo Xuan’er will have a chance to help them in the future.”

Jing Dan heaved a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. This time I'm going down to earth, I can't carry the magic weapon, and my mana will be lost. Please take care of my precious mirror and return it to me in the future."

The immortal took the mirror, held it up and said, "This mirror has its own elves. Even if it has no mana, it can subdue monsters and tame animals. Your experience today is just useful. I will go down to earth and hand it over to you." .”

"It's not very good."

"Don't worry, there is no strict order from the Queen Mother not to help, I will not be blamed."

Seeing Xianweng's kind fists, Jingtan thanked him.

At this time, a man in red clothes and feather crown, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and burly, and as handsome as jade came to the two of them. He looked at the immortal, then turned to Jingtan and said anxiously: "I'm sorry, Jingtan, my willfulness If you are tired, you will be relegated to the earth." Jingdan stared at Huo Hong'er in amazement and said, "You know your mistake even if you don't expect it, but I don't blame you. You should apologize to the two maidservants for this matter."

Huo Hong'er heard the words and thought of the maid's slap, she felt even more uneasy and said: "The maidservants are so fierce, I dare not strike up a conversation with them."

Immortal Weng rushed to say: "It's really strange, is there anything else that makes you afraid to do it? If so, you wouldn't dare to spoil the Queen Mother's birthday banquet."

Huo Hong'er argued: "This is different. I felt bored at the time, and Brother Jing ignored me. I was just curious to find out their looks under Yunxia. I didn't expect to be punished so severely."

Immortal Weng clicked his tongue again and again: "Showing fairy birds and enjoying the beautiful scenery of fairy fruits. If you call these boring words, you will not be bored with the tedious disputes in the mortal world. It suits you. It's just that other people will follow you to suffer. , will you feel good about it?"

Huo Rong'er said with a look of shame on his face, "The Nanji fairy taught me the lesson."

The fairy said again: "In the distance, it seems that Yuelao and the two fairy maidservants are coming, you apologize to them, let's get rid of each other's grievances."

Shui Jian Qing was about to continue watching the visitor, when he suddenly felt someone push his shoulder, and a familiar voice came from his ear: "Qing'er, Guang'er, it's getting late, it's almost noon, don't sleep anymore, Get up quickly." The scene in front of him blurred, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw himself on the bed with his aunt standing beside the bed.Knowing that he was dreaming just now, he hurriedly sat up, saw his cousin got up strangely, recalled the dream just now, and was about to speak when his aunt said again: "Wash your face and eat, don't keep us waiting. "

Ever since, Shui Jianqing had no choice but to swallow the words back into his mouth.

Shui Jianqing was wearing a white gown as usual, but he felt stuffy and hot. He couldn't help but wondered: "It's spring when it's a genius. It should be warm and humid. Why is it so hot?"

Shi Kangnian replied: "Let's go to the Yanyan country. There is a volcano that never goes out all the year round. The sun shines without a shadow, and the climate is dry, so it's so hot. You should change into shorts."

Shui Jianqing turned back to the room according to his words, but seeing his cousin's pale face, he asked concerned: "Cousin, you look very bad, are you okay?"

Shi Yaoguang was about to speak, but couldn't help "wow" and vomited.

"Guang'er, how do you see? Qing'er, hurry up and see what happened to him?"

The water supervisor hurriedly took Shi Yaoguang's hand to pick up the guanidine, and after a while, he said, "my cousin is suffering from dysentery, it may be caused by eating unclean food, probably on the night of the fire dance meeting, he ate food on the side of the road. Snacks, coupled with the hot weather, will cause illness. Don’t worry, my uncle, after I take the medicine and his decoction, and he sleeps again, he should be fine soon.”

"Then I will trouble you. Come on, Guang'er, Dad will help you into the room to rest."

In the blink of an eye, more than three hours passed, and the ship just arrived at Yanyan Country and anchored at the pass.Seeing that Shi Yaoguang had taken medicine and was sleeping in the room, and his body was getting better, the water supervisor picked up his precious mirror, changed into his trousers, and planned to go ashore.

Shi Kangnian said: "It's almost dusk, why don't you go ashore tomorrow for sightseeing."

Shui Jianqing replied: "It's okay, it's only afternoon, the temperature has dropped a little, and it's time for sightseeing, so I went to the nearby pharmacy to see if there are any suitable medicinal materials. My cousin will be taken care of by my uncle."

Shi Kangnian said, "Of course I will."

Shui Jing also said beside him: "We will take care of my cousin, cousin, you come back early, don't go late."

Shui Jianqing nodded slightly and jumped ashore.

"Our country of Yanyan is composed of two islands and three mountains. Among them, the island that is close to the neighboring country and has a sea mouth is called Wuhuo Island. There are two mountains on it. One is high and wide, and the other is low and narrow. Front and back The high one is called Wuyan Mountain, which got its name because it has volcanoes but does not erupt and the climate on the top of the mountain is extremely cold; Xiaotan, the water in the lake is warm. Because the two mountains have the word "Yan", the name of the country is named after it. Half of the local population lives in the low-lying area between the two mountains; , and another small group of people live in the self-combustion island opposite Wuyan Mountain, separated by a small strait. There is a Wojiao mountain on Yinzhou that burns all year round, and trees are planted all over the mountain. Although the lake has been silted up and flooded frequently in recent years, However, people can still use the bark of the trees on the lower terrain to make fire raccoons and sell them in the market in the low-lying area on the other side to make money. Customers asked us about the pharmacy here, but they can only be found in the low-lying areas. But in the past two years, Tigers suddenly appeared on Huoyan Mountain, so the residents decided to take a detour by the path at the foot of the mountain instead of crossing the mountain path on the hill. But it was almost dusk, and the path at the foot of the mountain would take two hours to reach. Let’s rent a room at this inn for the night.”

Shui Jianqing listened to the long talk in the waiting room and introduced the local wind history, and then he talked about what he wanted to know. He couldn't help being amused, and asked, "How long will it take for that mountain road?"

The waiter replied: "Although the mountain road is close, it only takes half an hour. It is not long after passing through the hills and small ponds, but it is much more dangerous. There is no point in taking risks, and it is not worth losing your life. Our hotel is cheap for the night. It’s better to stay in our inn for one night and then go on the road.”

Shui Jianqing said casually: "This is very close to Haikou, I can go back first and pay later. Here is tea money, please pay for me."

The waiter agreed, and quickly packed up the money.

Shuijian walked out of the inn, looked at the sky, and saw that there was still sunlight. Think about it, if you travel on a mountain road, you can go to and from the boat in half an hour at most. Wei felt that the medicinal materials that he didn't have at hand could cure him, so he walked towards the mountain road.

Self-burning Island, because there is an active fire that often spews fire, the climate is very hot. If the island is not covered with trees, which brings a little bit of coolness, the residents will not live in it.Most of the hundreds of households on the island rely on the bark of the trees near the mountain pass to make Huanbu and sell it in the market on the opposite island to make a living.However, in recent years, there have been frequent rains, and the large lake on the mountainside has accumulated silt for a long time, causing flooding and erosion of the trees around the mountain. Residents had to use the bark of trees closer to the crater to make fire blankets, causing a lot of losses.For this reason, more than [-] households have been partially relocated, leaving only dozens of households.Mrs. Liu and her daughter Liu Li are one of them staying here.Mrs. Liu is a native of Zhongtu, and she moved to Ziranzhou with her husband to take root, but her husband died of illness when her daughter was three years old.It's just that Mrs. Liu is very beautiful. Although she is in her thirties, she is graceful and charming. Some single men in the nearby residents will take advantage of their kindness and diligence to peek at their colors, but Mrs. Liu is unmoved.As the daughter grows up, she turns into a fairy and attracts more storms and butterflies.Mrs. Liu was very troubled, because every time she went out to sell cloth in the market on the other side, some single men would strike up a conversation with her daughter. This phenomenon did not change until her daughter lost her voice two years ago when she accidentally ate an unknown poisonous weed. .

On this day, Mrs. Liu took the fire raccoon weaved overnight and checked it again and again, coughing while watching. Liu Li couldn't help raising her slender willow eyebrows, picked up a wooden board and wrote: "Mother has worked hard for days, Well, you should rest and stop worrying.”

Mrs. Liu replied: "The family has no permanent food, and finally found a few trees that have not been corroded. If we don't rush to the cloth market to sell them, we will have no food next month."

Liu Li also wrote: "My mother ran to the ridge of Wojiao Mountain just to collect dry bark, searched around during the day, and turned on the lamp at night to weave, regardless of her body, and now she has a dry cough. Trouble."

Mrs. Liu then replied, "Mother knows that Li'er is worried, so mother should go to bed now, and tomorrow when she is more energetic, she will go to the market on the other side to sell."

Liu Li wrote: "I cook for my mother tonight, so my mother can rest well."

Mrs. Liu nodded and went back to her room.

Liu Li deftly cooked a nest of minced meat porridge and a plate of clear vegetables half an hour later, put them on the table, went into the bedroom and shook her mother gently, but she didn't wake up, and she looked strange. Hong, poked his forehead and felt hot. It turned out that his mother had a fever.

Liu Li felt anxious, and hurriedly took a cloth and wet water and applied it to her mother's head to cool her down.

Not long after, Mrs. Liu woke up leisurely, saw her daughter looking at her with red eyes, and whispered softly, "Li'er, why are you sad?"

Seeing her mother waking up, Liu Li turned her worries into joy, took a wooden board and wrote quickly: "Mother, how do you see? You have a high fever and have been lethargic just now. Do you have an appetite for some porridge now?"

Mrs. Liu felt tired and stuffy all over, and she knew she was ill when she saw the words, because she said: "I'll eat some porridge before going to bed, and tomorrow you go to the other side and ask the doctor to see your mother."

Liu Li helped her mother up as she said, and fed her with a spoon, but Mrs. Liu was so depressed that she pushed away after eating half a bowl and said, "That's enough, I'm sleepy, let's eat it tomorrow."

Liu Li couldn't use force, so she asked her mother to sleep back on the bed.I also hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls, and went back to my room to rest.

As dawn dawned the next day, Liu Li got up and changed into a coarse dress. She reheated the porridge from the previous night and put it in a bowl beside her mother's bed before leaving in a hurry.

It happened that Dr. Shao, who was near Ziranzhou on the other side, went to Yufu for consultation, so Liu Li had to find a doctor from another pharmacy for consultation.After a while of soft grinding, Doctor Shi reluctantly agreed to follow her to the Self-burning Island.After more than two hours, they finally arrived at the hut near the mouth of the sea at the foot of Wojo Mountain.

"It's nothing serious. Lingtang only has a fever when he is infected with wind and cold, and the evil fire enters the lungs. It just so happens that the few herbs I brought are suitable. You boil five bowls of water and give her a bowl. Two days, come back to me in two days, and then I will give her a diagnosis and treatment."

Liu Li wrote: "Thank you doctor."

Dr. Shi replied: "You're welcome, a total of ten taels of silver."

Liu Li wrote again: "So expensive?"

"It's not too expensive. You need to charge an extra [-] taels of silver for each visit, and the rest of the medicines are expensive medicines. It's already considered cheap for you."

Liu Li had no choice but to pay, took the medicine package, and then sent the doctor out and paid the boat fare for him to cross the sea.

When she got home, she looked at the four walls, and saw that there was some white rice left in the kitchen, which was enough for two meals, and the money pot only had five taels of silver, which was not enough to pay for the next consultation fee, so she couldn't help but hesitate.

"Lier."

Hearing her mother's call, Liu Li walked into the room.Mrs. Liu said, "Has the doctor left already?"

Liu Li wrote: "The doctor has seen your mother, he said you are fine, just take medicine and rest, and you will be fine soon. Mother, after I boil the medicine for you, I want to take the cloth out of the market to sell."

Mrs. Liu was surprised: "Why are you in such a hurry? Let's go together after my mother recovers from her illness."

Liu Li wrote again: "I can't wait any longer, the family doesn't have enough money, and if I see the doctor again, I won't be able to pay the medical bills."

Mrs. Liu said: "You are a weak woman and you are dumb, how can you sell things?"

Liu Li wrote: "It's okay, I have gone out to the market with my mother many times in the past, and I know the way; as for selling, I can mark the price on a wooden board and wait for the buyer to pay. But my daughter is worried that my mother will be ill alone. I don’t have anyone to take care of me at home, so I’m hesitant.”

Mrs. Liu thought for a while and said, "I'm fine. If you need help, you can ask Uncle He from the opposite room to help. But you should be careful when you go out to sell cloth by yourself."

Liu Li wrote: "Daughter knows, daughter will go to decoction and then go out."

Liu Li went to a few shops. It turns out that many ocean-going ships have recently come here to sell silk, and some people have changed to silk, so the price of Huanbu has not increased.A rich family suggested that she go to a big family at the foot of Huoyan Mountain near Haikou to sell them. Because they live near the volcano, the climate is hot, and the population is large, Huanbu is resistant to both heat and cold, so they are definitely willing to buy it.So she detoured the path at the foot of the mountain, spent two hours coming to Haikou, and sold a few horses of fire raccoon at a high price to a rich family who made a living by hunting wild animals in the mountains.Seeing that the cloth on hand was sold out, and it would not be too late to sell the remaining cloth at home, seeing that it was getting late, he set off to return home.

However, I caught a glimpse of several men drinking wine in a small gazebo not far from the path at the foot of the mountain. One of them, with a pointed forehead, long face, slender eyes, high nose and thin lips, dressed in a gentle scholar was the prime minister who used to pester him Yu Muqi, her son, hurriedly stopped and turned her back to avoid it.But Yu Muqi had already seen a very beautiful girl in a coarse cloth skirt, it was Liu Li who had been waiting for a long time, he immediately stepped forward and took her white and tender hand, and said with a smile: "Liu Li, I finally waited for you Yes. Last night, because the servants sent Dr. Shao back to the pharmacy, they knew that there was a dumb person who wanted to ask Dr. Shao to treat her mother. At that time, Dr. Shao was treating my concubine, so the dumb had to ask another doctor on the island. I told you about Dr. Shi, who charged more expensive fees, and I immediately guessed it was you, so I invited Dr. Shao to your place this morning. It happened that you were out selling goods here, so I had to wait here. We will wait I spent an afternoon here, and the scenery here is very beautiful, so you just drink with me for a while before going back to treat your mother." Then he took the wine glass and poured it to Liu Li's mouth.

So choking!Liu Li coughed twice and was forced to swallow the strong drink. She was immediately coughed dryly by the hot feeling like fire, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to push it.

Yu Muqi saw that the beauty was overwhelmed by alcohol, her face was flushed, and she was even more beautiful, so she loved and pitied her: "Since you don't like drinking, why don't you eat some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."

While Yu Muqi was taking the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Liu Li withdrew her hand, took out a wooden board from her bosom and wrote quickly: "Thank you, Mr. Yu, for your concern, my mother's illness has been treated by a doctor, so don't worry about it, and I won't accompany you, little one." The girl has to go on her way, goodbye." After finishing writing, she pushed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in front of her, not caring that it fell on her skirt and made it dirty, and hurriedly stuffed the board into Yu Muqi's hands, turned around and ran away.

After running for a while, seeing that Yu Muqi was not chasing her, Liu Li relaxed her pace and looked around. It turned out that she had unknowingly come to the Huoyan Mountain Road shortcut.Seeing that the path at the foot of the mountain was no longer possible, I was afraid of being entangled again, and the mountain path in front of me was infested with tigers, and the sky was approaching dusk, so I couldn't help hesitating, thinking to myself: "Tigers usually come out to bite people after dark, so it's better to hurry on the road before dusk. It should be fine!" So he stopped hesitating and walked quickly along the mountain road.

Liu Li thought as she walked, that she was just late enough to sell cloth in the market on the other side with her mother. It happened that Yu Muqi went to the market to see their mother and daughter. When she was young, seeing Yu Muqi's gentle appearance, she casually said a few words, not only telling her her address but also her boudoir name.Later, Yu Muqi visited their home several times and invited Liu Li to play on the mountain. Madam Liu asked her daughter to play with him because he was the son of the prime minister and she was not easy to offend, and told them to go early and return early.

Liu Li went up the mountain with her, but Yu Muqi suddenly showed his true face when there was no one else around, he hugged her up and down, caressed her, and started to kiss her again, so scared that she pushed her away hard and ran away in a hurry.

Based on her familiarity with the mountains, Liu Li hid in a cave and waited quietly for Yu Muqi to leave. During the period, she picked some fruits and ate them because she was hungry. But when she returned home, she realized that she lost her voice when she was about to report to her mother.Afterwards, many extension doctors could not heal.Later, Yu Muqi sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to Mrs. Liu to marry Liu Li as a concubine, but Mrs. Liu declined the marriage on the grounds that her daughter had become dumb.Yu Muqi didn't give up until his father stopped him.However, he still pesters Liu Li from time to time, which makes Liu Li very disturbed.

Liu Li sometimes thought that if she ignored him that day, she would not be entangled by him.Just like that, she walked to the small pool unconsciously, but saw the gurgling water and steaming steam. At this time, Liu Li was stunned by alcohol and dizzy. I lit a fire, took off my shirt and skirt, and washed it in the fire; seeing no one around, I couldn't bear the temptation of the clear and warm water in the small pool, so I simply went to the pool to take a bath.

Shui Jianqing walked for an hour, and found a herbal medicine store in the market in the low-lying area of ​​Wuhuo Island. It happened that they had recently bought a batch of goods, so Shui Jianqing successfully bought the required medicinal materials.Seeing that it was dusk, I hurried back to the mountain road.When passing by the hills and small pools, I saw someone playing in the water at first glance, so I couldn't help but look twice.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the orange-yellow radiance reflected the pool water, giving off a layer of golden light. The woman in the pool had her fragrant shoulders slightly exposed, a pair of white and slender hands splashing water on her body, a body with jade bones and ice muscles, and an apricot face and peach cheeks. , with water-cut eyes, Gu Panshengyan, plus a straight nose and willow eyebrows, a small cherry mouth, and a small smile, it is amazing and intoxicating.

Shui Jianqing was stunned, until there was a slight rustling sound from his side, then he woke up and regained his senses, and immediately looked away.

Suddenly a gust of cold wind rolled up from the back side accompanied by a pungent wind, and then a large striped tiger about ten feet in size sprang out.The water supervisor hurriedly took out the precious mirror, and shot only the big tiger's tail. Seeing the mirror light, the big tiger was frightened, and jumped forward to avoid it. Seeing someone in the pool, he jumped into the pool again.Shui Jianqing shouted urgently: "Girl be careful, there are tigers."

Liu Li, who was enjoying the hot spring, looked at the setting sun and knew that it was late, so she was about to get up and go ashore to put on her clothes and hat, so as not to go home until it was dark.However, when he heard a strange sound, he looked up and saw a tall and straight man in white trousers and shorts standing by the grass not far behind him. Thinking of his nakedness, he couldn't help blushing, and hastily immersed himself in the In the water, only the face is exposed.Only then did he have time to see a big tiger jumping out from the side of the man, and when he heard the man calling the police, he panicked and swam to the other side.

Shui Jianqing ran to the pool behind the tiger, jumped into the water without hesitation, and swam towards the girl. When the tiger jumped forward to block the front, he hugged the girl in his arms and held up the mirror at the same time. Shining directly into the eyes of the tiger, the tiger was injured and restrained by the golden light and roared angrily. After struggling twice, it took a long time before it collapsed in the pool.

Shui Jianqing heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, felt the icy muscles in his arms that were about to break, and his heart trembled, and when he looked closely at the beautiful and flawless shy face of the girl, he felt a sense of familiarity. Let go of her and drag the dead tiger to the ground to lower it, then turned around and held her with his back, said in a deep voice: "I was rude just now, the tiger is dead now, girl please go ashore and change clothes so as not to catch cold, I will wait until the girl is dressed before turning around. "

Liu Li, who was hugged into her arms, felt a sense of familiarity and security, but after thinking about it, she had never seen such a handsome and tall young man with sword eyebrows and stars.Seeing him killing the tiger with a strong golden light from the mirror in his hand, he couldn't help but feel grateful and shy at the same time, his cheeks were flushed and he dared not look directly at him.Seeing that he let go of himself and turned around to let himself get dressed, he was even more grateful in his heart, and secretly said: "So he is not a disciple."

Liu Li went ashore and put on her dress and hat made of Huohuanbu, then picked up a piece of bark, and quickly wrote with the bamboo pen she brought: "Thank you for saving me, my little girl. Your kindness is always in my heart. Young Master’s shirt and pants are wet, please dry them at the fire that the little girl just started, so as not to catch a cold and get sick.”

Shui Jianqing took a look at the bark handed over by the girl, and then realized that the girl was dumb. He walked to the fire according to what she wrote, and said with pity: "Why did the girl become dumb? Can you tell me?"

When Liu Li asked, she took the bark and told her about eating the poisonous fruit by mistake two years ago.

Shui Jianqing saw it, and asked about the shape of the poisonous fruit. It was like a fruit mentioned in a medical book, but he didn't see it, so he didn't dare to make a judgment, because he said: "It's dusk now, The unknown girl’s home is in He Hu, please let me know, and I will visit tomorrow to see the poisonous fruit, maybe there is a way to solve it.”

Liu Li hesitated for a moment, but seeing his sincerity, she wrote down the address and bid him farewell.

After Shui Jianqing watched her go, he didn't drag the dead tiger down the hill to the boat until he dried his underwear.

Shi Kangnian stood at the bow of the boat and watched. Seeing his nephew dragging the dead tiger back, he went up to meet him and asked, "Qing'er, why have you been gone for so long? It's already dark. Only dead tigers, why don’t you go hunting?”

Shui Jianqing told him that he took a shortcut on the mountain road and met a girl who was attacked by a tiger in Xiaotan, but skipped the part where the girl was taking a bath in the pool, and told the girl that she had become dumb because of eating poisonous fruit by mistake, and he promised to Go to the island tomorrow to find her to study and treat.

Shi Kangnian said: "It's a good thing to help the world and save people. Fortunately, you have a mirror on your body, and you are not afraid of tigers and wolves. It's just that you bought all the medicine for Guang'er?"

Shui Jianqing replied: "I have bought everything. Because there is no medicine store near Haikou, my nephew has to go through Huoyan Mountain to the low-lying market to buy medicinal materials, so I will come back later. Is my cousin okay?"

Shi Kangnian replied: "Guang'er is fine, he just woke up and was hungry. Your aunt cooked some porridge for him, and now he has slept again. You should hurry up and cook some medicine for him."

Shui Jianqing handed over the dead tiger to his uncle, took out the herbs in his bosom and walked into the kitchen.

This night, the sky was hazy, Shui Jianqing cleaned up after Shi Yaoguang drank a bowl of medicine, and went to bed, hoping to continue the dream.

"Cousin, your medicine is really good. I slept for a while, and the pain is gone now. I will go ashore with you later."

As soon as the sky was bright, Shi Yaoguang got up and went to Shuijianqing energetically to wake him up.

After sleeping all night without dreaming, Shui Jianqing felt a little disappointed and got up, seeing his cousin's vigor and vigor, took his pulse, and said: "Your illness is completely cured, you can move around as you like. "

"Yesterday, cousin, you met a dumb girl and made an appointment to come to her house today. I also want to see the poisonous fruit."

Shi Kangnian, who was coming in, heard the conversation and asked, "Guang'er, your illness is just right, so you shouldn't go to a far place."

Shi Yaoguang replied: "I'm fine now. I've been sick and bored in the room for a day, and it's rare to recover. I just went out to stretch my muscles and bones. My cousin also said that I can do whatever I want."

Shi Kangnian looked at Shui Jianqing inquiringly, seeing him nodding, he said: "Well, I will accompany you to the Self-burning Island as well."

"Didn't Dad want to sell goods? How can you accompany us?"

Shi Kangnian replied again: "The residents of Zishanzhou specialize in weaving Huanbu. I would like to go to them in person instead of going through a shop. Maybe I can buy some bolts of Huanbu at a relatively reasonable price and then sell them to other countries. .Let’s set off together with breakfast.”

It was just dawn, and Liu Li got up to wash and wash. After cooking a simple breakfast, she went to her mother's room, put the breakfast tray on the table, picked up a wooden board and a bamboo pen, and wrote: "Mother, what do you think? I took some I'll give you something early."

Mrs. Liu opened her eyes and sat up slowly, saying, "I have subsided my fever. Although my throat still hurts, it is much better. Don't just focus on me, go eat breakfast too."

Liu Li wrote again: "I will. Mother, you eat first, and I will cook the medicine after eating."

Mrs. Liu hesitated and asked again: "Did the cloth sale go well yesterday? After you went, Mr. Yu came to the door, did you see him?"

Liu Li then wrote down her experiences yesterday, except that she concealed the fact that she was seen soaking in the pool.

Mrs. Liu shook her head when she saw this, and said, "Young Master Yu actually belittled you in public. You are really shameless. You should be careful when you see him in the future, and try to avoid him. It's just that the man who rescued you from the tiger's mouth will come as he said and will not come." You don’t know, just listen to it and don’t expect too much.”

Liu Li wrote: "I think he is very sincere, and he will keep his word if he thinks about it. As for Mr. Yu, I will be careful to avoid him."

After her mother finished eating, Liu Li went to the kitchen again, and after a hasty snack, she lit a fire and boiled medicine.Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.

Mrs. Liu said, "Boy, hurry up and see if your savior is here!"

Liu Li hurriedly went to open the door, unexpectedly it was Yu Muqi and a servant who appeared in front of her, so she wanted to close the door, but Yu Muqi stopped her, saying: "Liu Li, you left in a hurry yesterday, I had no choice but to close the door." Today I ordered the servant to bring fruit to visit my aunt, won’t you invite me in?”

Liu Li took out a wooden board and bamboo pen from her bosom and replied, "Thank you for your concern. My mother is fine. I just need to rest so that I won't be disturbed by visitors. Mr. Yu, please go back."

But Yu Muqi said: "I came from afar to change my mind, why don't you invite me to sit inside for a while, I won't disturb my aunt." He was about to pull Liu Li into the house when he heard a voice from behind stop.

"This gentleman is taking a long time to pull people. I have something to ask."

Yu Muqi turned around and saw three men dressed in different nationalities standing five steps behind him. One of the older men said what he had just said and asked, "Who are you? Don't meddle in your own business." , why do you ask me?"

When Liu Li saw someone coming, her face brightened, she threw off Yu Muqi's pull, and stepped forward to meet another handsome man in white.

Yu Muqi was dissatisfied with Liu Li's affectionate expression towards the strange man, and asked again: "Liu Li, who is this person?"

Shi Kangnian was about to answer, but was stopped by Shui Jianqing with a wink.Seeing the girl being pulled by that man just now, Shui Jianqing suddenly felt displeased, and seeing the girl clinging to his side, with an air of unwillingness to see the man, made him even more dissatisfied, seeing him questioning the girl again after asking his uncle, he stopped Uncle replied: "My surname is Shui, I don't know why the young master stopped this girl?"

Yu Muqi said impatiently: "I'm her friend, I came to visit her mother's condition today, and I was about to enter the house with her just now, what is the purpose of your coming here?"

Shui Jianqing just heard their actions from behind, saw that he didn't answer the truth, and saw the girl tugged at his sleeve, waved her hands as a signal, and also said to him: "We came from afar, and she made an appointment yesterday to visit today. Treating her mother, I am a doctor, and the rest are my handymen. Mr. Yu, the patient needs to rest so I can’t disturb you, please go back with your servant.”

Yu Muqi saw that Shui Jianqing politely refused, and also saw that the three people who came were more than the two of them, and he would suffer a loss if he did something, so he could only call the servants to turn around and leave.

Then Liu Li raised a smile and gestured for everyone to come in and sit down. She picked up a bamboo pen and a wooden board and wrote, "Thank you for your words and help. The little girl's name is Liu Mingli. I don't know how to address you?"

Shui Jianqing introduced everyone to her and said, "My name is Shui Jianqing. These two are not my handymen, but my uncle and cousin. They are called Shi Kangnian and Shi Yaoguang respectively. Just now I overheard that person mentioning Lingtang He was sick, so I tricked him with all my tricks, but I also know a little about medicine, so I don’t know what kind of disease Lingtang is suffering from? Can you let me see you?”

Liu Li was about to write a reply when she heard the words. At this time, the door of the inner room opened, and Madam Liu came out in a dress, and saluted everyone: "My concubine is Liu, and I couldn't come out early to serve tea because of the cold. I hope to forgive you."

Shi Kangnian met Mrs. Liu face to face, and suddenly called out, "Aren't you Qiaojuan's cousin?"

Mrs. Liu took a closer look at the person when she heard this, and said happily, "Cousin Kang Nian, long time no see, I can't imagine meeting you again here."

Seeing this, Shi Yaoguang said, "Father, are they our relatives?"

Shi Kangnian pointed to Mrs. Liu and said, "Baby, this is my cousin, your cousin. I have lost contact with her since she married Liu Fan, the cousin of King Chu 20 years ago. Qiaojuan, this One of them is my child named Yaoguang, and the other is my nephew named Shui Jianqing. Over the years, I went to your hometown several times to look for you, but I couldn’t find you anywhere. I thought you had died soon. You What happened after the farewell?"

Mrs. Liu sighed and replied, "Not long after my concubine married my late husband 20 years ago, the King of Chu and several princes conspired against each other. Fearing that I would be involved, my late husband took my concubine and hid in a sea boat overnight. Fleeing here, it was soon reported that the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of Wu and Chu was quelled by General Zhou Yafu, and a group of rebels were captured and executed, so my husband and his concubine took root here. Two years later, this daughter Liu Li was born. Husband went hunting with local residents to Wushan for a living. After another three years, he heard that Emperor Jing abdicated and Emperor Wu ascended the throne. He wanted to return to his hometown, but he died of a serious illness before leaving. Unable to travel. Fortunately, I learned how to weave tree bark into fire raccoon and sell it for a living. The poor girl didn't see her father for three years after she was born. Become dumb. If I hadn’t met Jianqing’s nephew a few days ago, my daughter would have become a tiger’s mouth. Unknown
