Youyou Sanshengyue

Chapter 14 Long Pain is worse than Short Pain

When Xuanyue woke up, the sky in the east was already bright, and the sound of cocks crowing outside the window kept coming and going.He rubbed his swollen head and got up from the ground, his center of gravity was unstable and he almost fell down again.Supporting the table with his hands, his joints were sore and stiff and the hot temperature on his cheeks told him that he just slept on the cold ground all night.There was no one else in the room, but he couldn't remember what happened last night, his head was heavy like a heavy stone.

"It seems like I had too much wine," he recalled vaguely, when he saw Ming You push the door in with his coat on, as if he had just come back from outside. "Did you not come back last night?" Xuanyue shook her confused head: "My head hurts a bit, did something happen last night? Why did you come back from outside early in the morning? And... how could I sleep? on the ground?"

Ming You opened his mouth to speak but stopped, it seemed that this little bastard had forgotten what happened last night, so that's good, it saves embarrassment when meeting.Ming You pursed his lips and explained with a smile: "It's nothing. I wanted to go to the morning market. Unfortunately, there are guards at the entrance of the village today, and the villagers are not allowed to leave the village. People outside also said that no one in our village is human, they are all goblins. "Although rushing to the morning market is a lie to fool Xuanyue, it is true that he saw villagers who wanted to leave the village being stopped at the entrance of the village. Hearing what outsiders said, he also secretly complained for the villagers of Tianling Village.

"You are not a mortal." Xuanyue said.

"But the other villagers are human, how can you say they are demons? Why don't you let them out of the village!"

"Hey, look at what you said, it seems like a wise monarch is more sympathetic to the people."

"I was originally..." Ming You regretted it as soon as she said it, and swallowed the second half of the sentence embarrassingly.Seeing Xuanyue standing swaying, he wanted to help but was afraid of making him angry, so he asked cautiously: "Is the wine still awake? Do you want me to help?"

Xuanyue was stunned for a moment, before she nodded lightly, she just let go of her hand holding the table and took a step forward, her eyes darkened and she fell into a soft embrace.It was also when she felt the hot temperature on Xuanyue's face through her thin clothes on her chest that Mingyou realized that he had a high fever.

How could I be so careless that I let him sleep on the floor all night drunk!He conveniently took a cotton padded coat to wrap Xuanyue in his arms and went straight to the hospital, his heart was thousands of times more anxious than when he was holding the dying cat demon before.

Maybe I really felt sincere towards this little animal.What made him so anxious at this moment was not the white fox named Jialing, but a cat demon named Xuanyue.Ming You hugged him and ran all the way non-stop, perhaps in the depths of love, it was so tiring but willing.

When he arrived at the clinic, Miracle Doctor Song happened to be treating two patients, and Ming You gave him a wink. Miracle Doctor Song immediately nodded knowingly and told his mother-in-law to lead Ming You to the back hall of the clinic to wait.While leading the way, the old lady secretly glanced sideways at the person in Ming You's arms. She had a pretty face, her flushed cheeks were like peach blossoms, fine-sweet sweat emerged from her slightly frowned brows, and her eyes seemed to be closed but not closed. Faintly revealed a moving water light.She couldn't help smacking her lips and sighed: "What a beautiful girl! The young lady of Mr. Qinglv's family? She really is a beautiful woman."

Ming You only smiled politely and did not answer, she gently placed Xuanyue on the bed behind the screen and covered her with a quilt. At this moment, Doctor Song rushed in and sent her mother-in-law out to receive other patients.He cleaned his hands first, and then took a silk handkerchief to cover Xuanyue's wrist to feel the pulse.Ming You at the side explained helplessly: "He...is a man, so there is no need to taboo on skin-to-skin contact."

"Uh... the old man's eyes are not very good at night, don't blame me, my lord." Doctor Song took off the silk in embarrassment, and when he opened the patient's eyelids with his hands, he couldn't help being startled, and hurriedly turned his head to ask Ming You: "Your lord Could it be..."

Ming You nodded: "That's right, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Miracle Doctor Song this time."

"It's nothing serious, it's just a cold and a fever. When the old man prescribes a few medicines to the young master, turn it into a decoction with a small fire, and he will be cured within ten days."

Considering that Lin Wenfang asked him to take Xuanyue to the capital to watch the lanterns in a few days, Mingyou then asked, "Is there any faster way?"

"The old man can give you a few injections, but...you need bloodletting to clear the heat."

"Will it hurt?"

Doctor Song stroked his beard with a smile and said, "Short-term pain is worse than long-term pain. Why don't you even understand this truth?"

Ming You gritted his heart and said, "Then... ask the genius doctor Song to administer the acupuncture."

The silver needle under the light was shining with a cold light, Doctor Song ordered Ming You to hold down Xuanyue to prevent him from moving around, and he gently rotated the silver needle into the "red and white border" between Xuanyue's ring finger and little finger.The comatose Xuanyue began to have a painful reaction, and her fingers twitched slightly. Doctor Song remained calm, and skillfully pressed his hand and exerted appropriate force to make the blood gushes out and dripped into the prepared basin.

The bright red blood trickled from Xuanyue's fingers into a thin red river, and dripped into the basin along the fingertips.

Xuanyue frowned in pain but couldn't open her eyes sickly, sobbing softly like a dream, "It hurts...youyou..."

"Are you alright?" Seeing Xuanyue in such pain, Youyou's heart seemed to be bleeding from a needle, and she kept urging Miracle Doctor Song to end it quickly.Miracle doctor Song did his work unhurriedly, "Young master, don't worry, if the old man pricks the wrong acupuncture point, it will be troublesome."

When it was dark, Xuanyue barely opened her sour eyes and looked at everything around her.Snow-white quilts and sheets, snow-white walls, the oil lamp on the wooden table flickered faintly, and a faint herbal smell permeated the whole room.

"You're awake, are you still hot?" Mingyou stretched out her hand to cover his forehead, Xuanyue's skin was slightly cool, just like her usual body temperature.

Xuanyue only felt a tingling pain between her fingers, and raised her hand to see two tiny pinholes. "Where is this? What time is it?" The voice was erratic, without a trace of strength.

Mingyou patiently explained: "This is a medical clinic, you have been asleep for more than ten hours, here, it's getting dark." He picked up a bowl of soup on the table and handed it to Xuanyue: "Drink it quickly. "

After taking it and taking a sip, Xuanyue frowned bitterly, and pushed the medicine back.

"Don't drink?" Ming You personally brought a spoonful of medicine to his lips, thinking that Xuan Yue would save face no matter what, but this little bastard turned his face away in a temper, ignoring his hospitality.

Mingyou sighed helplessly, took a sip of the decoction by herself, then pushed Xuanyue down on the bed, leaned down and pinched his chin with a slight force to force him to open his mouth, took advantage of the situation to kiss his lips and put the medicine into the mouth. his mouth.Mingyou teased Xuanyue's sensitive tongue with her tongue again, until he swallowed the decoction in his throat, he reluctantly straightened up.

I can't cure you little bastard?Mingyou looks like a victorious general, raising her eyebrows and swearing her victory, the bowl and spoon in her hand "dangdang" playing the trumpet of triumph, "I don't mind feeding you to finish."

"You!" Xuanyue blushed and took out a veil to wipe off the potion at the corner of her mouth, then slammed the veil onto Mingyou's face, "Taking advantage of others...not a gentleman's actions, you, you villain!" Although he scolded Mingyou a lot, he still obediently drank the medicine, Mingyou nodded in satisfaction, and played with the embroidered handkerchief in his hand: "I didn't expect you to use this, so I will accept it." He said intoxicatedly Put it in your nose and smell its faint sandalwood fragrance, but Xuanyue said coldly: "That is Xuanhua's relic."

Mingyou coughed a few times in embarrassment, then folded the handkerchief and returned it to him.

On the evening of the sixth day before the Lantern Festival, Xuanyue's illness has been cured.Lin Wenfang came to the thatched cottage with a jug of wine to eat and discuss with them the route to the capital.When Xuanyue learned that she was going to watch the Lantern Festival in the capital, she immediately became energetic and listened carefully to the plan of the two.

"As long as we leave Tianling Village, there is a lotus pond, and we can directly enter the county seat by boat," Lin Wenfang pointed to the hand-drawn map and explained to the two in detail: "It only takes three or four days to drive a horse-drawn carriage and walk to the capital city in the county seat. "

"So far?" Xuanyue looked at the map under his hand, the path to the door was rugged, surrounded by mountains and rivers, "Can't you take the big road?"

"The main road is farther away. In addition, people from all over the country are rushing to the capital at this time. It is inevitable that there will be many people and things. It is safer to take the small road."

Ming You nodded, "Then do as Brother Wen Fang said."

In order to hurry up and avoid the guards outside the entrance of the village, the three of them packed their luggage overnight and rushed to the entrance of the village in the dark when they couldn't sleep.Lin Wenfang and Mingyou held up lanterns to explore the way ahead, while Xuanyue tugged at Mingyou's sleeves and followed closely behind.As the New Year approached, the temperature dropped sharply at night, and Xuanyue was still weak after recovering from the wind and cold, and her neck was shrinking from the cold even though she was wrapped in a rabbit fleece scarf.

"It's almost here," Lin Wenfang pointed at the two big trees in front of him and quickened his pace.Mingyou and Xuanyue looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a tall and sturdy tree standing on both sides of the village entrance. Turning and whistling.The two trees are connected by a finger-thick hemp rope, and the hemp rope is also covered with a row of yellow talismans, as if soldiers in golden armor are strictly guarding the boundaries followed by generations.

Xuanyue suddenly stopped when she was twenty steps away from the entrance of the village, and whispered in Mingyou's ear, "It's such a big aura, if I go forward, I'll be knocked back to my original shape by the magic power of the talisman of."

"Is that thing really useful?" Mingyou didn't feel strange when he thought that he had sneaked out of the village to go to the morning market. To him, the spell was just a cover to restrict the villagers of Tianling Village from leaving the village. Only now did he realize that the spell was true. It can restrict the activities of goblins, no wonder there has never been heard of goblins coming out of the village to harm people.

"Then why don't you go back, it's not worth the loss if you break your body just to watch the lantern."

"I..." Xuanyue looked up at him as if about to say something, but then slowly lowered her head and remained silent.Ming You could see that he really wanted to hang out with them.

Lin Wenfang, who was walking in front, turned around and saw that the two men were not moving, so he told them to follow quickly.Mingyou didn't have time to think about throwing down the lantern, so she turned her back so that Lin Wenfang could not see her movements.He clasped his hands together, gathering vitality in the palm of his right hand, and saw a ball of bright yellow light converge from the palm to his fingers.He quickly drew a small circle on the ground with his burning fingers to surround himself and Xuanyue. "What are you doing?" Before Xuanyue could react, she was hugged in Mingyou's arms.

"Trust me, I can take you out." Mingyou's green eyes shone with green light, Xuanyue had only seen this state when he killed the Lion King, Xuanyue knew that he must want to forcefully break the magic power of the spell and break out .

But what if Lin Wenfang saw it?If their identities are exposed, they will no longer be able to stay in Tianling Village.Also, if Mingyou can't break the spell, then as a fairy herself... Xuanyue didn't dare to think about it, but Mingyou's firm eyes as always told him that he was completely trustworthy.

Xuanyue closed her eyes and said, "Let's go."
