When the quiet mountain village appeared in Bai Yunfei's sight, he really felt like crying...
--He followed Lao Sha for most of the day, and then came back...
Lao Sha led the way, without any hesitation or turning, and returned to here from an unknown distance.
Looking at Lao Sha walking unsteadily in front of him, Bai Yunfei wanted to kick him in the butt - Damn it, since you knew the way back, why didn't you tell him earlier!
But if you think about it, it's thanks to Lao Sha that he didn't become 'understanding' earlier. Otherwise, if he had flown back with Bai Yun last night, he wouldn't have been able to find the Yuanshi mine and collect the needed materials. Medicinal materials.
…
When Bai Yunfei approached the village, he found that something seemed wrong. There were many people gathered in the middle of the village, and the atmosphere seemed a bit depressing...
"Stones and the others have indeed returned..."
After seeing the people in the center of the village, Bai Yunfei muttered to himself. He didn't meet anyone on the way back, so he suspected that everyone had returned. It seemed that was the case - for some reason, he felt a little disappointed in his heart. Emotions, he thought everyone would be looking for him everywhere, but it seemed like there wasn't...
"Ah! Look!! He's back!!"
At this moment, an extremely surprised voice sounded. It was a villager who accidentally discovered Bai Yunfei coming down from the mountain and immediately exclaimed.
This time, everyone was immediately alarmed. Many low exclamations were heard, and then many people were seen walking over quickly. The one running at the front was Shitou.
"Brother Tang! It's really you! You're back! Great!!" Shitou looked extremely excited, which made Bai Yunfei a little confused. Then Shitou said in surprise, "Where have you been these five days? Everyone is so fast I’m so anxious! We are about to go out to find you again!”
"What?!" Bai Yunfei was stunned and said in astonishment, "Shitou, what did you say? Five days?"
I just set off with everyone yesterday and came back today. It’s only been one day! How could it be five days? !
Shitou was also a little confused and said: "Five days have passed since the day you lured away the big tiger! Everyone has been looking for you in the mountains for four full days. Later, they had no choice but to come back temporarily. After a day's rest, this I was about to go into the mountains to find you again! But... you came back on your own... that's great! Brother Tang, where did you go? "
"this… "
Bai Yunfei was stunned on the spot. After a moment of confusion, he suddenly realized - so to speak, after drinking the strange water in the cave, he didn't just take a nap for a while, but ... I 'slept' for five full days! !
He only remembered that it was morning when he went in and it was noon when he came out. He took it for granted that it was the same day, but he didn't expect it to take so long!
Five days, I actually stayed there in a coma for five days! But after waking up, I didn’t feel anything special? Not even feeling hungry!
It turns out that everyone didn’t come back without looking for me, but they searched for four days!
At this time, other people gathered around and watched Bai Yunfei talking quietly. Some people asked him where he had been these past few days, why he couldn't be found, and why he came back now.
Bai Yunfei didn't know what to say specifically. He just vaguely said that he got lost in the mountains and found it after searching for a long time.
During the conversation, when he saw the little girl named 'Qiu Shui' standing in the corner of the crowd with a haggard and sad face, looking at him with even a trace of inexplicable hostility, he was stunned at first. After a moment, he thought of something, frowned and asked: "Stone, did you... not find the needed medicinal materials?"
When he asked this question, many people around him stopped talking, and their expressions became a little gloomy. Shitou whispered: "We also searched many places, but only found some medicinal materials, the most important of which is the joint grass." Not a single one was found, so..."
really…
Bai Yunfei's heart tightened. He knew that Shitou still had something to say, that is - everyone must have diverted their energy to search for him, so naturally the search for medicinal materials was delayed - it was no wonder that the little girl Qiushui was a little hostile to him. In a way, if Uncle Wang's arm cannot be cured, he is also responsible...
Fortunately, that won't happen.
Without having time to say anything else, Bai Yunfei took out the cloth bag containing a lot of medicinal materials from his arms, handed it to Shitou and said, "Shitou, send it to Mr. Zhong quickly. There are four joint grasses in it, and some other things." Medicinal materials!”
"Ah!! Really?!"
As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked. Shitou screamed in surprise. He took the bag and opened it. He was overjoyed and everyone else also exclaimed.
"It's really Skeleton Grass! Four of them! There are several other rare medicinal materials! Hurry! Send the stone to Mr. Zhong. Uncle Wang's arm can still be saved!"
Someone made a sound of surprise, and Shitou immediately woke up and quickly got out of the crowd and ran towards a house on the right side of the village.
"Tang... Brother Tang... thank you!"
A weak voice sounded, but it was the little girl Qiushui who looked at Bai Yunfei and said gratefully.
Bai Yunfei smiled, waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Go and wait for Mr. Zhong to prepare the medicine. I hope Uncle Wang will get well soon."
The little girl was also concerned about the 'elixir' that could cure her father's arm. After a low voice, she turned around and ran towards Mr. Zhong's house.
This time, everyone looked at Bai Yunfei with a slightly different look. Although everyone accepted this 'outsider' who appeared out of nowhere, they were still somewhat unconsciously rejecting him. However, this time in order to find medicinal materials , he set off with everyone without hesitation, and also led away the terrible tiger for everyone on the way. Now he has found the medicinal materials that everyone failed to find and returned, saving one of Uncle Wang's arms. This can be regarded as a blessing. The village has made a huge contribution.
Now, everyone has changed their views on Bai Yunfei, and has begun to truly accept this unknown and somewhat mysterious 'outsider'.
…
After following Uncle Wu back to his 'home', Bai Yunfei put the pack of Yuan stones on the ground and asked Uncle Wu and Uncle Wu, but they didn't know what it was, and they were not interested in this kind of luminous stone. Amazed.
After taking out these stones, Lao Sha took one of them into his mouth while everyone was not paying attention, and then ran behind the door to take a nap lazily.
Looking at Lao Sha, Bai Yunfei was in a daze. This big yellow dog that was said to appear with him seemed to have many secrets. He didn't even know whether to call it a 'dog' - have you ever seen it but don't eat it? A dog that eats bones and rocks
Uncle Wu's wife Xu Auntie was cooking, and the aroma of vegetables wafted out from the kitchen. Bai Yunfei felt a little hungry, and unconsciously touched his stomach, thinking that he hadn't eaten for five days. I really don't know. How did you get here...
Not long after, when Aunt Xu had almost put the food on the table, Shitou happened to go home and brought back good news: Mr. Zhong had worked hard to prepare a Fu Gu Pill. After giving it to Uncle Wang, there was no more What's the problem? With the magic of this 'elixir', it may even be back to normal tomorrow.
Bai Yunfei couldn't help but sigh again - it's incredible that there is such a magical 'immortal medicine' in the world. What do those 'immortals' look like? Can it really fly
"Eh? Brother Tang, what are these?! So beautiful! Glowing stones!"
Just when Bai Yunfei was in a trance, Shitou made a surprised voice. He looked at the pile of Yuan stones on the ground with curiosity.
"I found this in the mountains. Those medicinal materials were found nearby. I thought these stones were a bit strange, so I took them back..." Bai Yunfei said with a smile. He did not say that it was actually because Lao Sha wanted to eat these stones. It was too absurd, and he was worried that if everyone knew this, they would think Lao Sha was some kind of 'monster' and do something bad.
Lao Sha probably knew this, so he was very careful when he 'ate secretly' just now and didn't let others find out.
"It feels so comfortable to hold, Brother Tang, can I have one?" Shitou picked up an egg-sized crystal primeval stone, caressed it lovingly, and couldn't help but say.
Bai Yunfei smiled and said: "Of course, if you like it, just take it."
"What are you doing squatting on the ground? Come eat soon."
At this time, Aunt Xu's voice rang out, Bai Yunfei and Shitou responded, wrapped up a pile of Yuan stones and put them away, then walked towards the dining table.
The whole family ate around the table, talking and laughing from time to time, and having a good time. Bai Yunfei also began to adapt to the ordinary life in this small village...
