Servant of the Otherworldly Pharmacopoeia

"Most of my life has already ended like this, how can I still withstand sporadic abrasions?

The loneliness of life is not loneliness, but the helplessness of the soul is loneliness.When loneliness comes, even the closest people are far away, just like the sun and the moon looking at each other, and it is always impossible to go to the moon.

So everything is in vain, and the so-called love of others is only the pursuit of shadows, and there is no such thing at all.The desert in the world is inevitable, so most people have to live without longing..."

The room was quiet, only the rustling of the pen tip falling on the parchment.

Du Tuxuan wrote quietly, the wind outside the window flapped the curtains, and Yun Ban jumped in lightly with a howling sound.

"Where did it go?" Yunban was dirty and dusty, like an exploding briquette.

Du Tuxuan stopped it from coming over to act like a baby: "Go find someone to wash you."

"Wow~" Yunban licked his paws, not wanting to go out.

Du Tuxuan grabbed the paper full of words on the table, rolled it up, went to the incense burner in the corner of the room, lifted the lid and threw the paper ball into it.

When Yunban saw the fire, he jumped out of the window and fled with a whimper, leaving a few gray marks on the floor.

"Call Huan over here." Du Tuxuan ordered outside.

Soon the sound of light footsteps went away, and after a while, the sound of slightly heavy footsteps came.After opening the door, he was a little surprised to see Du Tuxuan beside the door: "My lord."

Du Tuxuan pointed to the gray mark in the middle of the room: "Dirty."

Fei Yinzi knew at a glance that it was Yun Ban's handwriting.

The butler understood: "I'll clean it up for you right now."

"Long." Du Tuxuan looked extremely tired, "I want to rest for a few days."

"My lord, are you uncomfortable?" The butler really didn't expect him to choose to sleep at this time.

"It's almost winter, and the law and order in the territory is especially important." Du Tuxuan explained, "You have to be more careful."

The butler nodded: "Yes, my lord. How long will you rest this time, my lord?"

"...I don't know. I will wake up when I should wake up." The sun at noon was thin, and Dongyue was getting closer and closer without knowing it.Du Tuxuan continued: "That Jiu, let him go back to the castle when I rest."

"My lord, did he make you angry?"

Du Tuxuan shook his head: "No. Let him take the Shata Beast back, don't embarrass him."

"Yes, my lord." The big butler looked at his face, and found that the anger that returned to the cage a few days ago seemed to have disappeared, which made people flustered.

After Du Tuxuan finished explaining, he pushed the wheelchair to the bedside and lay down slowly.

But here, the nervous Xu Jiu was called out just after eating.

It was Qing Kong's little apprentice who called him, and the round-faced little apprentice took him to the front yard. Qing Kong and Qing Xing were in the meeting hall together, and Qing Xing was bathing Yun Ban.

Even though he didn't have a direct confrontation with these two people, his intuition told him that they didn't like him, so after seeing them, Xu Jiu cheered up: "Master Qing Kong, Master Qing Xing."

"I can't afford it." The soft but hidden edge of the female voice sounded, "You are now a first-class servant, just like us."

"..." Xu Jiu decided to change the topic, "May I ask what you two want from me?"

Qing Xing turned his face sideways and looked him up and down, Yun Ban was unwilling, and splashed water all over her body with a groan.She wasn't angry either, and still bathed Yun Ban in a good-tempered manner: "We can't please you, it was ordered by the housekeeper."

Xu Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and after leaving the black tower, his heart was filled with sorrow and joy. He almost immediately asked, "Then what did the butler tell me?"

Qingxing stopped talking.

Qingkong has been drinking tea slowly by the side, put down the cup at this moment, with a serious expression: "My lord, let me tell you—"

Xu Jiu listened with pricked ears.

"You can go back to the barren cliff."

"Ah?" Xu Jiu opened his mouth slightly, but didn't understand.

"My lord doesn't need you by my side anymore." Qingxing carried the fat cat out, picked up the towel next to it and wiped it, "You can ride the Shata beast away."

"..." Xu Jiu trembled a little, "Is this what the steward told me?"

The two head to head.

Is that what Du Tuxuan ordered?Xu Jiu had mixed feelings in his heart: "I want to see Mr. Butler."

"My lord has something to do." Qing Kong's tone was not sharper than Qing Xing's, but still calm, "It's not that you are expelled from the manor, maybe it's just a temporary departure."

"Then—" Xu Jiu mustered up the courage to ask, "Did Mr. Butler say when I will be back?"

Qingxing scoffed.

"No." It was Qing Kong's voice.

……

Xu Jiu went back to the servant's yard in a daze, and slowly packed his things, when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen Pangpang for two or three days.The child has been detained by the housekeeper, and it is difficult for him to see him.If it wasn't for the fact that the butler had no ill intentions towards Pangpang, he would almost have taken him back.

"Well, there is Pangpang." Xu Jiu immediately dropped his salute and ran to the black tower, no matter what, he must see the housekeeper.Du Tuxuan, do you really want him to leave?

But as soon as he ran down the stairs, he saw Sha Zhou climbing up the steps with a sleeping child in his arms.

Put Pangpang in his hands, and Shazhou will go back.

"Shazhou," Xu Jiu quickly stopped him, "Qing Kong said that the butler asked me to go back to the barren cliff, is it true?"

Shazhou has always been reticent, and only said: "Qingkong will not spread lies."

"...Thank you." My heart was really sour.

There was only a small bag of things, Xu Jiu hung the bag on the back of the Shata Beast, sat on it with the child in his arms, and walked out of the manor slowly.

The bustle and bustle are far away, and the common people are small, only the black tower still stands up to the sky, like a solitary sword.

"A swan goose, fly to the north! The swan goose flies to the sky, how far the sky is! How far-far-far-

The wine is dry and refilled, if you are not drunk, you will not return it!not return--"

The run away song sounded like ghosts roaring and wolves on the wasteland, and Pangpang was awakened when he yelled the first sentence, flung his small body, and looked at him in surprise.

"Refill the wine again—if you don't get drunk, don't return it—hehe!" Xu Jiu continued to yell at his out-of-tune song while pulling his neck.

The Sanda Beast kept digging the soil and sneezing, and the birds in the sky were frightened by him and flapped their wings and flew away. Pangpang covered his ears when he yelled.

"Can you cover it?" Xu Jiu hilariously held his chubby hand in his hand, "Do you miss me, huh?"

Fatty glanced at him, lowered his head and said nothing.

Xu Jiu was sad: "Don't you want to?"

Xu Jiu pinched the child's face: "Fat?"

Fatty still lowered his head.

Xu Jiu actually saw melancholy from that baby fat face.Du Tuxuan got fat when he was a child, right?Xu Jiu lost his mind, and the appearance of the other party lingered in his mind again.

"Fatty, you don't like me?"

The child raised his head, his little face was tense, he actually thought about it seriously, then shook his head.

Xu Jiu hugged the child tightly, and rubbed his chin on the top of his head: "Do you miss the grandpa in the manor?"

The child in his arms remained silent.

"Do you... miss the uncle in the castle?" Xu Jiu asked awkwardly.

The little head immediately shook.

Xu Jiu couldn't laugh or cry, hugged the child, and rode the Shata Beast straight forward.After walking for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly sniffed, looked back at the almost invisible black tower, and said softly, "But I miss him."

He was just talking to himself, his voice was barely audible, but he was still noticed by the child in his arms.Fatty raised his head to look at Xu Jiu, opened his big black eyes, and stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around his neck.

Xu Jiu felt the dependence of this little person, who was soft and smelled of milk.

Xu Jiu pressed the child's head back to the crest of his neck, sniffed again, but said with a smile in his voice, "Go home."

The castle was still so empty, Xu Jiu put down the child and began to clean and dry it busily.

Motes of dust danced in the transparent sunlight, and the blankets were full of dust every time they were played. Xu Jiu hung them outside the castle until the sun set.

"Shall we have stewed meat for dinner?" Xu Jiu kissed the child's cheek.

Pang Pang was not in high spirits, and he returned to the silence he had when he first came. Xu Jiu teased him for a long time without uttering a word.

"I'll make an omelette for you." Xu Jiu continued to tease him.

The child hugged the bear and sat on the steps huddled up. Xu Jiu said it took him a long time before he nodded.

Cut the meat neatly and put it in the pan for frying. When the fry is yellow, add water and ingredients, cover the lid and start to suffocate.

"We are almost out of firewood." Xu Jiu poked the bird droppings in the corner with an iron rod, "We need to stock up more in winter."

The child didn't answer, and sat in the red shadow of the setting sun, hugging the bear, a small one.

"Tomorrow we will go to the wasteland with Big Bird, and we need to collect more stones." Xu Jiu said again.

The child buried his head in the bear's belly.

"Karma—" Big Bird came back on time every time, and this time was no exception. The black shadow hovered under the red clouds, and the colors were contrasting sharply, just like the painting on the wall on the fourth floor.

The mountains and rivers are like mustard, overlooking all living beings.

"Karma!" The big bird saw the people at the gate of the castle, and rushed over directly, as if gliding in the desert, sand and stones flew, and the hard iron claws left several deep grooves along the way.

"Karma!" The big bird was about to pat Xu Jiu's head as soon as it flapped its wings.

"You can shoot dead people, Master Bird!" Xu Jiu kept dodging away from the child.

"Karma!" The big bird slapped him against the wall with one wing.

"Master Bird, calm down!" Xu Jiu felt like throwing up from the fan, and quickly raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, using his mace to save his life, "I brought you something good!"

"Hoo?" Bird's eyes straightened.

"Wait." Xu Jiu trotted into the house, and after a while came out with a large bouquet of flowers, the rich green leaves were dotted with purple flowers, a large bouquet full of vitality.

"Cuckoo?" Big Bird had never seen such a beautiful thing before, and he tilted his head in interest.

Motherwort has low medicinal properties, and it will be fine for such a big man to eat a little. Xu Jiu handed the bouquet to its mouth and watched it carefully pick up one.

"Karma!" Soon the chewed leaves were spat out, and the big bird coughed twice in an anthropomorphic way, and with a wave of its wings, it knocked off the bouquet in Xu Jiu's hand.

It seems that birds don't eat this stuff.

Xu Jiu knew how weird the motherwort tasted. Look, even an ancestor-level foodie like Big Bird couldn't stand it.He quickly took out a few big white radishes and handed them under the flapping wings. As expected, the big bird calmed down, the wings diverted midway, and chewed those radishes in one bite.

"Master Bird, can we go out with you tomorrow?" Xu Jiu spread his ten fingers, "I'll give you so much to eat!"

Big Bird squinted his eyes while chewing, his eyes slowly moved from his fingers.It's just a bird, Xu Jiu doesn't open its mouth to count, its counting level is limited to feeling that there are a lot of these things: "Cuckoo."

mission completed!Thinking of going to Big Bird's hunting ground tomorrow, I was immediately excited.

After finishing the difficult big bird, Xu Jiu was in a good mood. After eating with Pangpang, she was going to sleep early and go out tomorrow.

The child has been relatively silent, and Xu Jiu thinks that he has been in the manor for a long time, and he doesn't see him often, so it's strange.He didn't force it, he still hugged the child on the stone bed as before leaving the castle.

The sea of ​​stars is vast, and the moon rabbit is in the sky.Xu Jiu was sleeping peacefully when he suddenly felt his chest wet.He was startled, and hurriedly got up to check. The child was hugging the bear in his arms, and was crying with his eyes closed.

The tears rubbed against his body along the non-absorbent bear hair, and a large area was already soaked.

Xu Jiu panicked: "Fatty?"
