The gentle breeze blows in the valley, and the aroma of various rare and exotic herbs fills the air. Taking a deep breath can make people feel relaxed and happy.
The sun sets in the west and the afterglow of sunset makes it seem as if the whole world is enveloped in a light yellow halo.
Shangguan Wan Ning was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery when suddenly Sun Jinyao pushed her hard.
She was caught off guard and fell to the ground. There was a loud noise next to her, and the soil splashed and hit her body and face.
Shangguan Wan Ning angrily took out her handkerchief and wiped it. Just when she was about to get angry, an extra pair of legs appeared in her sight.
She slowly raised her head and saw a withered and ferocious face.
For a moment, Shangguan Wan Ning felt a palpitation in her heart, and all her emotions just now were forgotten in her mind.
"Who are you? Do you know that anyone who breaks into Yaowang Valley without permission will die!"
The hoarse and cold voice brought Shangguan Wan Ning back to her senses.
She endured the pain and climbed up, clasped her fists and saluted. "Miracle Doctor Deer, my junior Shangguan Wan Ning, I have no intention of offending your majesty. It's just that my mother is seriously ill, so..."
"You are about to die yourself, why do you care whether your mother lives or dies?" Lu Xiangzi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, stretched out his hand and strangled Shangguan Wan Ning's neck.
Sun Jinyao swayed and hit Lu Xiangzi's veins with his palm.
Lu Xiangzi suddenly changed his face and cursed angrily.
"You heartless little thing, I kindly saved your life and took you in to do odd jobs here. How about you, not only did you break my rules and bring people in, but now you help outsiders beat me?"
Shangguan Wan Ning was surprised by Lu Xiangzi's words.
"My filial piety to my mother-in-law, my filial piety, what's wrong with you, I'm going to take my life as soon as I come up. What's the matter? Are you jealous that others have well-behaved children, but you are a lonely old man yourself?"
Sun Jinyao's words seemed to sting Lu Xiangzi's pain. He glared at Sun Jinyao fiercely and snorted: "Okay, then I don't care."
After that, he used Qinggong and left in a flash.
"Hey, the Deer Divine Doctor..."
Shangguan Wan Ning chased for a few steps, then slipped and fell to the ground.
"Miss, are you okay?" Lutong hurriedly ran over to help.
Shangguan Wan Ning was anxious and angry, and turned around to glare at Sun Jinyao angrily.
"Why did you say that? It's better now, and you pissed him off."
"If I don't piss him off, he will kill you."
When Shangguan Wan Ning thought about what was going on, she was filled with anger and didn't know how to vent it, so she could only stamp her feet in anger.
"You've seen him, now you have to worry about it." Sun Jinyao crossed his arms over his chest, "Go back."
"I won't leave until I ask the Divine Deer Doctor to heal my mother."
"Then what do you want to do?" Sun Jinyao shook his head slightly, "Begging him? Do you know how many people come to beg him to save people every year? And how many people he will come to save? Let me tell you, there are none."
"I don't believe he hasn't saved people. Otherwise, where did the miracle doctor's orders come from? There must be a way." Shangguan Wan Ning took a deep breath and became more determined. "Master Sun, you know him better than I do.
Duo, please tell me."
Sun Jinyao hesitated slightly, but still shook his head.
Shangguan Wan Ning refused to leave, and Sun Jinyao had nothing to do with her, so he arranged for the master and servant to live in a small bamboo house in Yaowang Valley.
For several days, Shangguan Wan Ning tried her best to please Lu Xiangzi, but Lu Xiangzi ignored her at all.
When it was time to hold the lantern, Shangguan Wan Ning personally cooked a few side dishes and brought them to Lu Xiangzi. When she walked to the door, Sun Jinyao suddenly appeared and took out a plate of crystal osmanthus cake and put it on the tray.
"Old monster likes it."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Shangguan Wan Ning knocked on the door hesitantly and went in. Lu Xiangzi glanced sideways at her and ignored her until Shangguan Wan Ning brought the crystal osmanthus cake over.
He was suddenly startled, grabbed a piece and held it in his hand, then smiled lightly.
"It seems... that boy did turn his elbows outward." Lu Xiangzi stuffed the crystal cake into his mouth. "Girl, you want me to treat your mother, it's not impossible, but you want me to see your sincerity.
.”
Shangguan Wan Ning was extremely happy when she saw Lu Xiangzi relaxed.
"As long as Divine Doctor Deer is willing to treat my mother, no matter what you want, as long as the Prime Minister's Office can provide it, I will definitely give it to you."
Lu Xiangzi waved his hand and said: "Those ordinary people's money is of no use to me. You come with me."
Lu Xiangzi stood up and walked out. Shangguan Wan Ning hurriedly followed, but was stopped by Sun Jinyao at the door.
"What?" Lu Xiangzi frowned dissatisfied.
"We can't go." Sun Jinyao said firmly.
Lu Xiangzi snorted and poked Sun Jinyao's chest with his finger. Sun Jinyao wanted to dodge, but his movements were not as fast as Lu Xiangzi's, and his body was unable to move for an instant.
"You brat, you think I really can't cure you." Lu Xiangzi turned to Shangguan Wan Ning and said, "Follow me."
Shangguan Wan Ning was a little confused, but she knew that Sun Jinyao would not be in danger, so she hurriedly followed Lu Xiangzi's footsteps.
The two of them came to the foot of the mountain one after another. Lu Xiangzi pointed to a cave and said: "In this cave, there are ten medical books written by me. Any one of them is worth ten thousand gold. If you can
Go in and take out the medical books, and I will treat your mother."
"It's that...simple?" Shangguan Wan Ning was dubious.
"Of course not." Lu Xiangzi stroked his beard, "The cave is very big and full of traps, as well as all kinds of poisonous insects and snakes. Over the years, too many people have come to me for treatment, but very few people dare to break in.
I remember……"
Lu Xiangzi paused and counted on his fingers. "There are forty-eight people who dared to go in, and those who came out..."
Lu Xiangzi's eyes darkened, he came close to Shangguan Wan Ning, lowered his voice and said, "It's Ling."
Shangguan Wan Ning didn't know whether what Lu Xiangzi said was true or false, but this was her only chance.
She couldn't waste time here endlessly. She had time, but her mother couldn't afford to wait.
"Okay, I'll go." Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath and said firmly.
She was about to walk in when she was stopped by Lu Xiangzi.
"You'd better think about it carefully. If you really go in, you probably won't be able to get out. You'd better write a suicide note first."
Lu Xiangzi looked at Shangguan Wan Ning with a half-smile, then walked away with his hands behind his back.
Shangguan Wan Ning calmed down, and the images of many relatives flashed through her mind.
And...Mu Jingrui.
She went back to her room dejectedly, and wrote several letters while Lutong fell asleep.
As the sky dimmed, Shangguan Wan Ning came to the cave entrance again.
She glanced behind her and walked in without hesitation.
It was too late for Sun Jinyao to stop him. He rushed into Lu Xiangzi's room. "Give me the diagram of the cave."
Lu Xiangzi lazily changed his position to sleep. "No."
"You..." Sun Jinyao was about to rummage around when suddenly Lu Xiangzi jumped up from the bed.
