"This disease was brought from the mother's womb. When her mother was pregnant with Rui'er, she accidentally fell into the Xuan Bing cold pool, and the cold air of Xuan Bing entered her body. Her mother died shortly after giving birth to Rui'er.
, Rui'er was also very afraid of cold since she was born." Zhang Yuanming said.
"Is the cold in the Black Ice Pond so severe?" Ling Xuewei asked in surprise, "Not only did it kill your mother, but it also caused Miss Zhang, who was in your mother's belly at the time, to suffer from the disease as soon as she was born?"
"The Black Ice Cold Pond is surrounded by thousand-year-old mysterious ice. Even the most powerful cultivators cannot directly touch the thousand-year-old mysterious ice with their hands." Zhang Yuanming said.
"Then what will happen if we touch it?" Qingcheng asked.
"I have also heard, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. It is said that as long as these thousand-year-old Xuanbing people touch it, they will be frozen into ice cubes." Zhang Yuanming continued, "And the water in the Xuanbing Cold Pool is all Xuanbing.
Melted, although the water in this pool is not as extremely cold as the thousand-year-old black ice, once a person falls into it, it only takes half a stick of incense, and even if he is rescued, he will only be a corpse."
"Fortunately, your grandma was rescued in time, otherwise I would have lost two lives." Ling Xuewei did not ask why Zhang Yuanming's mother had to go to such a dangerous place while pregnant with her child.
"Yes! My mother accidentally slipped and fell. There were many people around her at that time, so she was rescued immediately." Zhang Yuanming said, "The family pulled my mother out of the cold pool.
Those two slaves who had their hands stained with the water from the cold pool also suffered from the disease. When the weather gets cold, all the bones in their bodies will ache."
"What are your symptoms?" Ling Xuewei then asked.
"When Rui'er was a child, her body temperature was lower than that of ordinary children and she was particularly afraid of the cold. At that time, as long as she dressed warmly in winter and lit an extra fire in the house, everything would be fine."
As Zhang Yuanming spoke, he reached out and touched Zhang Yuanrui's face. After he felt that Zhang Yuanrui's cheek was not much cooler than the temperature of his palm, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Slowly as Rui'er grew up day by day, she became more and more afraid of the cold. She wore more and more clothes, and even her body was gradually stiffening like ice. Her body
My body is getting weaker day by day, and I don’t know how long Rui’er can survive if she can’t find a cure.”
Ling Xuewei heard that Zhang Yuanrui's symptoms were a bit like modern ALS, except that the cause of ALS was muscle atrophy, rather than the fact that the whole person was frozen.
Moreover, ALS is a very troublesome and incurable disease even in modern times.
Ling Xuewei realized that Zhang Yuanrui's condition was much more serious than she expected.
"There are so many doctors with superb medical skills in the land of Middle-earth, is there no one who can treat Miss Zhang?" Qingcheng felt a little uncomfortable.
She was very sympathetic to this girl she had just met, even though Qingcheng didn't know her life experience until now, and she didn't even have the slightest memory of her past.
But at least she is still alive and kicking, has no illness or pain, can go wherever she wants, and eat whatever she wants.
Qingcheng had also been scared about her life experience, but now she suddenly felt that her past memories might not be important anymore. Compared to Zhang Yuanrui, who was lying in the carriage and didn't know how many days she had left to live, Qingcheng felt that she was already very lucky.
.
"There are many powerful alchemists in the Middle-Earth, and I also want them to diagnose and treat Rui'er. But those alchemists at the Alchemy Sage level, the top alchemists in the Middle-earth, are alchemists at the Alchemy Sect level.
, I don’t think it’s easy to ask for a meeting.”
Zhang Yuanming smiled bitterly and shook his head.
It seems that he has encountered many obstacles along the way.
"Didn't you find any of them?" Qingcheng continued to ask.
"I have met two alchemists at the level of the Alchemy Sect. They are both elders in the sect." Zhang Yuanming said, "But after they saw Rui'er's condition, they all said that they were not affected by Rui'er's illness.
We are good at healing, so let us try our luck by finding an alchemist at the level of an alchemist."
"As far as I know, there is only one alchemist of the Alchemy Saint level in this Cang Yun territory. He is the head of the Yuchi family, one of the ten major families."
Ling Xuewei had already guessed the ending before Zhang Yuanming elaborated.
"The Yuchi family is considered a transcendent existence among the ten major families in the Cangyu Realm. Because the head of the Yuchi family is an alchemist at the level of an alchemy sage, all the people who seek medical advice at the door of the Yuchi family every day can be queued up.
For dozens of miles, you don’t need to try your luck at Yuchi’s house to know that you will gain nothing from this trip.”
"Brother, I'm not going anywhere... ahem... take me home, I want to go home." Zhang Yuanrui opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Yuanming and said with great effort.
"Rui'er, I'm on my way back. We'll be home soon." Zhang Yuanming saw his sister waking up, moved to Zhang Yuanrui's side, and said softly.
Zhang Yuanrui glanced around the carriage and saw Ling Xuewei and Qingcheng inside the carriage. He was stunned for a moment, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
"It's been a long time since I've been around so lively. You two girls are very sorry that I can't get up to say hello to you." Zhang Yuanrui's eyes showed a smile.
"Two girls, Rui'er's illness can't let her breathe or be cold, so she can only stay in the house all year round. Usually I am the only one who can take care of her, and Rui'er doesn't even have a friend she can talk to."
Zhang Yuanming explained.
"Miss Zhang, if you don't feel comfortable, just lie down. We haven't thanked Mr. Zhang for his willingness to give up his carriage and give us a ride."
Qingcheng remembered Zhang Yuanming saying that he invited them to go with him in the hope that they could talk to Zhang Yuanrui, so Qingcheng took the initiative to sit next to Zhang Yuanrui.
"If you have one more person to talk to along the way, time will pass faster."
"Sister, don't call me Miss Zhang. It's too rude. Just call me Rui'er like your elder brother." Zhang Yuanrui felt very happy when she saw someone chatting with her. "I wonder what I call my sister?"
"Ruier, my name is Qingcheng." Qingcheng introduced with a smile, "The person sitting opposite you is my companion, her name is Xuewei."
"The kitten in sister Xuewei's arms is so cute." Qingcheng's eyes fell on Ye Moyan, who was sleeping soundly in Ling Xuewei's arms.
Ye Moyan's injuries have not fully recovered, so sleeping is a way for him to heal.
The carriage was very warm, and this warm environment made Ye Moyan feel very comfortable, so as soon as he got on the carriage, he found the most comfortable position in Ling Xuewei's arms and fell asleep.
However, Zhang Yuanrui's word "kitten" stung Ye Moyan's sensitive nerves.
Ye Moyan opened his eyes with excitement. He shook his hair and stood up on Ling Xuewei. He wanted to take a look. It was that guy without eyes who dared to treat him as a kitten.
to treat.
"Why are you so excited?" After so many days of getting along, Ling Xuewei finally understood the temper of the little beast in her arms.
He likes to get angry whenever he disagrees, and he is always full of hostility towards the outside world.
It would be fine if he didn't take action, but if he did, he could kill someone at any time.
Ling Xuewei gently patted Ye Moyan's head to ask him to calm down.
For a little girl lying on the hospital bed, Ling Xuewei hoped that Ye Moyan could be more tolerant.
When Mo Yan saw clearly that the person who mistook him for a kitten was Zhang Yuanrui, he instantly lost his temper.
Ye Moyan wouldn't bother arguing with a sick little girl.
However, Ye Moyan was unusually dissatisfied that Ling Xuewei was lecturing him for a little girl.
Ye Moyan stretched out his paw and hugged Ling Xuewei's hand.
Of course, Ye Moyan couldn't be willing to actually bite it.
He just gently held Ling Xuewei's palm, and his fangs just touched Ling Xuewei's skin.
Ye Moyan stretched out his little tongue and licked the place where Ling Xuewei was bitten by him, and then looked at Ling Xuewei with an innocent face.
"Pfft..." Ling Xuewei was amused.
Zhang Yuanrui's eyes almost sparkled when he looked at Ye Moyan's cute appearance.
"It's fun!" Ling Xuewei hugged Ye Moyan, "You can touch him gently. His fur is very soft and comfortable."
Seeing that Ling Xuewei was about to deliver him to someone else, Ye Moyan immediately started struggling and crawled straight into Ling Xuewei's arms.
"I still don't want it." Zhang Yuanrui shook his head, "My body is like an ice cube now, I'm afraid I will frostbite him!"
"Ruier..."
Ling Xuewei looked at Zhang Yuanrui, feeling inexplicably melancholy in her heart.
Zhang Yuanrui is so sensible that it makes people feel heartbroken, but such a considerate girl has to suffer from illness.
"Actually, it doesn't matter..."
"I can't even control the strength of my hands now. Even if I touch this kitten, I'm afraid I won't be able to feel its soft fur..."
Zhang Yuanrui shook her head laboriously. Her body was so stiff due to the chill coming from her bones that it was difficult to even move her fingers.
Zhang Yuanrui's eyes fell on her stiff palms, and her mood suddenly became depressed.
"My health has already caused a lot of trouble for my eldest brother. If it weren't for me, my eldest brother wouldn't have delayed his future..."
"Rui'er, I don't allow you to say that. Curing your disease is the most important thing to me!" Zhang Yuanming said seriously.
"Sorry, it's me who makes Rui'er unhappy."
Ling Xuewei wanted to change the topic.
"Mr. Zhang, you and Rui'er have such a good relationship. It's rare for a brother like you to be willing to seek medical treatment for your sister. You are really a good brother who cares about your sister!"
