Chapter One Hundred and Fifteen The Old People Who Met Accidentally
One drop!
Two drops!
The warm liquid slowly fell on Shangguan Wan Ning's face. She smelled the fishy taste of the wolf's mouth, but the expected pain was not felt for a long time.
She finally had the courage to open her eyes.
With a "pop" sound, the wolf rolled down, lay on its side, twitched twice and then stopped moving.
Shangguan Wan Ning raised her head and saw a man holding a torch, looking at her indifferently and calmly.
She was still frightened, and reluctantly supported herself to get up. When she saw the other person's appearance clearly, she couldn't help but be startled.
It turned out to be Sun Jinyao.
"Is it you?" Shangguan Wanning's eyes showed a look of joy.
After all, to be able to meet someone who knew her and was able to save her in such an environment was nothing short of a miracle.
Sun Jinyao didn't say anything. He walked to the wolf and tested it with his toes. After confirming that it was dead, he put the bloody dagger back into its sheath, turned and walked to the other side.
Seeing that Sun Jinyao had no intention of paying attention to her, Shangguan Wanning felt bored and hurried over to check on Lutong who had fainted from fright.
She tried to help Lutong up, but she didn't expect that the girl looked so weak and weighed a little.
Shangguan Wan Ning turned to Sun Jinyao for help as she was about to cry without tears.
Sun Jinyao could see it from the corner of his eye, and his heart was throbbing.
He recalled the warmth of Shangguan Wan Ning's helping hand when he was at a low point in his life. Although she was disguised as a man at this time, he still recognized her at a glance.
"She's fine, she won't die. Rest here for the night and talk about it after dawn."
After saying this, Sun Jinyao packed up a pile of licorice and lit a bonfire.
The firelight not only warmed up Shangguan Wan Ning's body, but also calmed her heart down.
She looked at the evil wolf and was still a little scared, so she hugged Lutong and sat as far away as possible.
Shangguan Wan Ning secretly went to see Sun Jinyao. This young man had completely lost his youthfulness and cynicism.
The indifference and coldness exuding from him now were just like the Mu Jingrui she first met when she woke up after being reborn.
"You... long time no see, are you okay?" Shangguan Wan Ning was at a loss for words and wanted to break the awkward silence.
Sun Jinyao did not respond, but just played with the bonfire.
Shangguan Wan Ning touched her nose nonchalantly.
"Gulu! Gulu!"
The sound of hunger became extremely loud in the silent night. Shangguan Wan Ning could not control her stomach. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Sun Jinyao glanced at her lightly, walked to the dead wolf, pulled out the dagger again, cut off a piece of meat and roasted it.
After a long time, he handed the wolf meat to Shangguan Wan Ning together with the dagger.
"Eat."
Shangguan Wan Ning was shocked. She swallowed her saliva and looked up at Sun Jinyao, a little at a loss.
"Don't you dare to eat?" Sun Jinyao raised the corners of his lips with a contemptuous smile.
Shangguan Wan Ning's stubbornness was aroused. She stood up and tried to look at Sun Jinyao's eye level. She snatched the wolf meat from his hand and took a deep bite.
A strange taste spread in her mouth. She chewed it a few times and swallowed it with difficulty.
Sun Jinyao turned around and showed a smile calmly.
What kind of girl is she?
The sky was getting brighter, and Lutong woke up faintly. The memory of last night flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but scream.
"Miss..."
"I'm here." Shangguan Wanning walked over and gently tapped Lutong's forehead, smiling, "She said she would bite her to protect me, but she fainted first."
Lu Tong felt aggrievedly and touched the place where Shangguan Wan Ning had knocked her, and said with a cry: "I'm sorry, Miss, from now on, this slave..."
Before Lu Tong finished speaking, he saw Sun Jinyao walking over, and his mouth opened in surprise.
"It's already dawn. No matter where you are going, I advise you to take the main road. Otherwise, you will not be so lucky the next night."
"But..." Shangguan Wanning hesitated, "I want to rush to Yaowang Valley as soon as possible..."
Sun Jinyao was stunned. "Why are you going to Yaowang Valley?"
"Seek medical attention."
"You should give up this idea, that old monster won't heal anyone."
Shangguan Wan Ning heard something in Sun Jinyao's words and hurriedly grabbed him as he was about to leave. "Do you know Lu Xiangzi, the miracle doctor of Yaowang Valley?"
Sun Jinyao did not answer, neither admitting nor denying.
Really, he didn't know how to answer.
Since the death of his family, Sun Jinyao had nowhere to go. He wandered around and experienced all the hardships of the world.
Once he met a bandit. He had no intention of fighting and was plotted. He was dying. He thought he would die, but when he woke up, he was already in Yaowang Valley.
Sun Jinyao didn't know why Lu Xiangzi wanted to save him, and even asked him to stay in Yaowang Valley to learn medical skills, astrological divination, astronomy and geography, and some other messy things from him.
He refused to learn, so Lu Xiangzi beat him until he was willing to learn.
Gradually, Sun Jinyao became accustomed to this kind of life and regarded Yaowang Valley as his place to stay.
However, he found that Lu Xiangzi had a very weird temper. If he asked outsiders to approach Yaowang Valley, it would be like stepping on his tail.
"Take me to Yaowang Valley to meet Lu Xiangzi, okay?"
"Not good." Sun Jinyao said, turned around and left.
Shangguan Wanning opened her arms in desperation and blocked Sun Jinyao's face. "Master Sun, for the sake of knowing each other, I beg you. If you can't find a miracle doctor to treat my mother, she...
I don’t want to lose my mother.”
Shangguan Wanning's persistence reminded Sun Jinyao of his mother.
If it weren't for protecting him, my mother wouldn't have committed suicide.
"Master Sun..."
"good."
Sun Jinyao looked at Shangguan Wan Ning's clear eyes, and his heart softened involuntarily.
Shangguan Wan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, cupped her hands and said, "If my mother can be cured by the Deer Divine Doctor, I will definitely repay you for this kindness in the future."
Sun Jinyao didn't make any response, but whistled, and a white horse came running over.
The three of them simply cleaned up and then rode towards Yaowang Valley.
With Sun Jinyao's guidance, the journey was uneventful, and we arrived outside the Yaowang Valley in the evening of the next day.
"Eat this."
Sun Jinyao took out two red pills from the purse on his waist.
Shangguan Wan Ning was about to eat it when Lu Tong tugged on her sleeve. "Miss, don't..."
"There are many traps in the valley, and miasma is everywhere. If we don't take precautions in advance, we won't be able to enter the valley..."
Before Sun Jinyao finished speaking, Shangguan Wanning had already swallowed the pill.
"Don't worry, I believe Mr. Sun." After saying that, Shangguan Wan Ning also fed the pill into Lu Tong's mouth.
The three of them walked forward for a while. At first, it was filled with moisture, cold and scary. After about one stick of incense, the scenery ahead suddenly became clearer.
