It seemed that the old woman went from being full of hope to being disappointed in just a moment. Ah Li didn't notice the change in the old woman's expression, and was still happy with a silly smile.
But Xiao Xue saw all the changes in the old woman, and she was very confused in her heart. Most people should be excited to have the opportunity to treat their injuries.
The old woman was unusually calm. Although hope arose for a moment, it was quickly extinguished.
"Senior, do you have any concerns?"
The old woman looked at Xiao Xue in surprise, as if she had questions in her mind after being seen through.
From the old woman's reaction, Xiao Xue understood immediately, and it seemed that she had guessed correctly.
"Senior, if you have any concerns, please tell me. Although I may not be able to cure you, I will do my best."
Xiao Xue asked politely. Ah Li listened to Xiao Xue's two questions and then looked at the old woman with confusion.
"Ancestor..."
The old woman let out a long sigh and spoke slowly: "Little girl, it's not that the old woman doesn't look down on your ability, it's just that-"
The old woman laughed and looked at the sky with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
Finally, he said to Xiao Xue in a fierce tone: "If you can't cure the ancestor, Ah Li will try his best to kill you."
"Little girl, a little pain is nothing. My life has been worse than death these years. If I hadn't been with Ah Li, I would have died long ago. But now that I have the opportunity to go back to the past, there is nothing else that I can't bear."
The old woman reprimanded Ah Li. Although it was a scolding, Xiao Xue could tell that the old woman doted on Ah Li very much.
Just to remove a few poisons requires the person being treated to have strong willpower, otherwise giving up midway will mean death.
Xiao Xue wiped the sweat beads as big as beans on her forehead with a handkerchief. She was very tired.
"Okay! Then I'll help you, little girl."
The old woman looked up at Ah Li, with a tenderness in her eyes that was hard to let go.
Time passed bit by bit, and when the door opened again, night had fallen.
Ah Li nodded wildly and excitedly towards the old woman, who also smiled.
It's no wonder that some poor people may not be able to reach the level of a seventh-grade alchemist in their lifetime, let alone being so young.
As Ah Li was about to enter the house, Xiao Xue called out from behind her.
"Sister Xue, how is our ancestor?"
The old woman hesitated to speak, and Xiao Xue showed her most sincere eyes.
Ah Li then stopped and prayed outside the house with his hands clasped together.
Xiao Xue helped the old woman into the bamboo house and told Ah Li to prepare some herbs to make soup.
The old woman patted the back of Ahri's hand gently and comforted Ahri with a smile.
"Little girl, don't mind. Ah Li has always been with me and taken care of me. She has suffered a lot these years."
"Senior, how can I lie to you? If senior can trust me, how about I take my pulse first?"
Xiao Xue confirmed the old woman's treatment, explained some precautions, and also told all the unexpected situations that might occur in the process.
Ah Li burst into tears and kept wiping the tears on her cheeks.
"Little girl, don't worry about the treatment. Old lady, I have died once. Even if the situation you mentioned does happen, I won't blame you, it's just..."
Inside the room, Xiao Xue started her first treatment, while Ah Li was anxiously circling outside the room, looking into the room from time to time.
"Senior, don't worry. I already know the extent of your injuries. It's just that it will take time to completely cure your injuries, and you also need to be able to bear the pain."
"Senior, let's start today."
Ah Li on the side was excited and worried, and kept watching anxiously. She wanted to ask something but didn't because she was afraid of disturbing Xiao Xue's diagnosis for the ancestor.
"I understand that Miss Ah Li is also doing it for senior, and I won't mind. But I am confident in my ability. As long as senior follows my daughter's instructions, I guarantee that I can cure you."
"good."
It turned out that she was worried that she had not yet reached the level of a seventh-grade alchemist, even though she said that it would have no effect on curing her injury.
Xiao Xue walked out of the house sweating profusely, and Ah Li rushed to greet her anxiously.
The old woman expressed her worries, and at the same time, Xiao Xue understood why the old woman showed joy for a moment when she learned that she was an alchemist, but then disappeared.
After a long time, Xiao Xue slowly stood up. Unexpectedly, the old woman was oppressed by a fighting spirit, and several poisons worked together to prevent her from using any fighting spirit.
"Sister Xue, how are you? Do you have any way to cure the ancestor's injury?"
Seeing this, the old woman sighed slightly: "That's all. Although the old woman is not an alchemist, she also knows that in order to heal her injuries, she not only needs the seventh-grade essence-rebuilding elixir. She also needs to cooperate with other means, but Xiao Xiao
Girl, at your age, I'm afraid you can't help me."
The only possibility is that it comes from internal conflicts within Sound Valley, and this is also the only explanation at the moment.
There was also a hint of hatred in the old woman's determined eyes.
"It's just Ahri. If something happens to the old lady, I hope you can take good care of Ahri."
"Senior, everything is fine. The first time was a success."
The old woman was on her left hand. Xiao Xue stepped forward, gently pressed her fingers on her wrist, and carefully felt the old woman's pulse.
"Little girl, how are you?" The old lady was also looking forward to it.
Listening to Xiao Xue's answer, Ah Li finally smiled happily again.
Xiao Xue grinned awkwardly, this little girl really knows how to change her face. Just now she was shouting at Sister Xue, and now she is trying her best again.
"Ari..."
Ah Li changed from calling Xiao Xue by her first name and now calls her sister.
After hearing what the old lady said, Ah Li's face, which was excited at first, gradually turned into disappointment.
Ah Li immediately lowered his head when he heard the old woman's words.
It was also to convince the old lady that she needed her own treatment, otherwise the consequences would be serious.
The ruthlessness of the person who did this can be imagined, but this is the Sound Valley, and it is also a place isolated by a barrier.
Ahri's eyes were shining with embarrassment, as if he had been in the desert for too long and saw an oasis, and the fire of hope was imprinted in his eyes.
After hearing Xiao Xue's words, the old woman's eyes filled with excitement, and she trembled with two words: "Really?"
"Senior, there is no need to worry. My little girl is not talented. She became a seventh-grade alchemist two years ago. I believe she can refine the seventh-grade elixir that senior needs."
"Girl Ahli, don't disturb Senior, let her have a good night's rest. We will continue tomorrow."
Xiao Xue dragged her tired body back to the house where she lived, sat cross-legged and began to recover.
Xiao Xue admired the old woman's willpower. The first treatment took a long time and the pain was the strongest, but she did not cry out.
Keep gritting your teeth and persisting, a willpower that is quite powerful in front of anyone.
"Is Sister Xue asleep?"
Ah Li's voice came from outside the door. Xiao Xue tightened her clothes, got off the bed and walked towards the door.
