One Piece: Heart Set Sail

The mist dissipated, and Xue asked with some confusion: "I've seen so many things, but I've never seen you say a word of thanks to him. We've been in your illusion for so long, and it seems like he's the only one who won't bully you and still protects you. Do you really not care about this person?" After asking, Xue did not wait for her answer, but said to herself: "That's right, you don't even care about yourself, and you don't care about being bullied, then you treat him , I definitely don’t care.”

Yulu thought thoughtfully and skipped this topic: "You will have a harder time at the next node. There is an epidemic in Nancheng. I originally wanted to try the medicine, but I didn't expect that I got the right disease."

Luo looked like he had figured it out a long time ago: "I knew that the person in charge was not the kind of person who would show kindness."

Xue's focus was on what Yulu said. The next step would be even harder, and she couldn't help but look serious.Who knows how many hardships she still has ahead of her. Xue still remembers the story about Yulu saying that in the end she went to the enemy country to get married. Will she be like her then?

The light flashed and the two entered the next node. Xue looked at the surroundings with a slightly familiar look. Wasn't this the scene they saw when they first came in?Yulu was constantly busy making medicine, and people around her were coming and going.The only difference was that this time it was him who was sitting at the desk, and Luo came in holding a prescription written by Yi Tuo.

She kept busy until almost evening. People in the house left one after another, and Xue almost fell down from exhaustion. The only gain was that she completely remembered the prescription for treating the epidemic.

While resting on the swing in the courtyard, the lady's maid whom I had met before broke into the courtyard at an inappropriate time and said bossily: "Miss, please finish your work today. Madam said, you promised to go to Dongshan a few days ago. Is it time to put it on the agenda to collect red ginseng for the young master to make medicine?"

Xue finally knew why Yulu said that this node would be hard. She had been busy all day without even taking a break and was about to go to Dongshan to collect herbs. Xue looked helplessly in Luo's direction and said dejectedly: "Needless to say, she If you are definitely not resisting, we have to go to Dongshan now."

"Miss, the horses are ready, shall we set off?"

"Let's go."

It was said that the horses were ready, but it was a very old carriage and a skinny horse.On the way to Dongshan, Xue couldn't even complain. Isn't there a normal way?Forget about twists and turns, the road is full of large and small stones, and the bumps are so bumpy that the snow is always bumped.By the time we reached the foot of Dongshan Mountain, Xue was already covered in blue and purple, with a look of despair on his face.

"Want to go up the mountain? The sun will set in a while. How can you clearly see what the red ginseng looks like? It's really a torment. How can anyone come out to collect medicine when it's almost dark?" Xue took two Carrying the not-sharp sickle and the backpack on his back, the two of them headed up the rugged mountain road.

Luo carefully observed his surroundings: "Xiaoxue, pay attention to safety, it may be dangerous."

"I also feel that these people must not have good intentions. If there is a chance to get rid of Yulu and Jinfeng, it should be done when they are out. Moreover, this place is deserted and is indeed a good place to kill people and dump their bodies. "

There are lush vegetation growing on the mountain, and of course there are all kinds of medicinal materials, but red ginseng is not as ubiquitous as other medicinal materials, and it is quite a test of your eyesight.Xue and Luo paid attention to the surrounding movements and red ginseng, and soon reached the mountainside.Under the afterglow of sunset, a group of wild geese seemed to be busy returning home. The chirping of insects from the mountains reminded them that the night was coming.

"Brother Luo, look at that! Is that red ginseng?" Xue pointed to a plant that looked like a radish growing on a cliff. Its tip leaves cleverly covered it. If you weren't careful, you would still be looking for it. Not.

"Brother Luo, wait for me, I'll go pick it." Xue leaned over. The red ginseng was not very tall. The cliff was only a few meters long. There was a big stone at Xue's feet. He could just stand on tiptoes. To red ginseng.

"Be careful." Luo saw her standing on tiptoe to dig ginseng. The stone under her feet was in an irregular shape and might fall down at any time, so he stood by to protect her.

Xue just held the red ginseng in one hand, and used the sickle in the other hand to dig the roots of the red ginseng. Sand and soil fell from top to bottom, and a few grains entered Xue's eyes. The entry of foreign objects made Xue immediately close her eyes. His eyes were blinded and he lost his balance on his feet. Sure enough, he still fell down: "Oops!!"

"Be careful!" Luo stretched out his hand to pick her up, and the two of them fell into the mountain flowers beside the cliff. What a coincidence, just like that, her soft lips touched his tight lips like a dragonfly touching water. After a quick peck, Xue's cheeks were as red as the sunset on the horizon.

Luo Ye was stunned and forgot to get up. Xue was still lying on him, holding the uprooted red ginseng in one hand.Looking sideways, Luo tried to ease the embarrassment: "You didn't fall, did you, Xiaoxue?"

Xue didn't dare to meet Luo's eyes, and hurriedly stood up, and then went to help Luo: "I'm fine, brother Luo, I... um, I got it." She raised the red ginseng in her hand and shook it. : "It's getting dark, let's go down the mountain."

"okay."

When they returned to the carriage, both of them still seemed to have not recovered from the slightest glance at the water just now.Xue secretly glanced at Luo's profile, and her heart began to beat wildly for some reason.She shook her head and quickly diverted her attention to put away the red ginseng. The two of them drove back all the way. The road was still so bumpy. Xue didn't sit in the carriage this time, and simply drove with Luo.Before they were halfway through the return journey, what they had been worrying about happened at this moment.Sure enough, Xue's guess was right. Those people had always wanted to get rid of Jinfeng and Yulu, so ambush on this stretch of road was definitely the best decision.

More than a dozen masked men in black, holding swords and crossbows, were galloping towards the carriage. Unfortunately, the two of them could not use their abilities now. It would not be impossible to fight them forcefully, but they just didn’t know whether the talisman conformed to Yulu’s life plot. If it was different, they would still They have to start over again, which is very troublesome. Where do they have so much time to waste here?

Xue avoided the attacks as much as possible, while Luo also focused on defense, so he was forced to retreat steadily. It was also at this time that the enemy seized the opportunity.There was some kind of powder stuck on the dagger. The other party came to Luo's side under the cover of his accomplices. Maybe it was an established fact that Jinfeng was injured. The illusion was weakening the two people's combat power all the time. He was scratched on the arm.

"Brother Luo! You're injured!" Xue exclaimed, "No, we have to find a way. Yulu is an unreliable guy. What if we are really killed?"

Xue grabbed the reins in the chaos and whipped the thin horse hard. The horse was frightened successfully, and after a neighing sound, it started galloping with the carriage, and the masked men in black were also caught. He was thrown away by inertia.

Xue let the injured Luo stay in the carriage and drove towards Dongshan. Who let them be ambushed on the way back, so it didn't matter if they went further. If this node was over, they could go back.

"Brother Luo, how are you?" Xue looked behind worriedly. Luo was leaning against the car wall and breathing heavily. He didn't know how deeply the knife hurt him. Now he couldn't go over to check because Xue couldn't control it. A frightened horse, after all she had never trained a horse before.

There were big beads of sweat on Luo's forehead. It was obvious that he was having a hard time enduring it, and he didn't respond to Xue's question at all.He had to find a place to stop and look at Luo's injuries, but the horse didn't seem to want to and just ran forward.Xue gave up trying to control the horse because there was a steep hillside not far ahead.

He decisively picked up the sickle and cut the rope connecting the carriage and the horse. The moment the pulling force disappeared, the horse just rushed down the hillside, and Xue and Luo also rolled down with the inertia.There were burning pains everywhere on his body, injuries caused by constant friction with the ground.

"It hurts me so much..." When Xue stood up limpingly, she saw Luo who had fallen not far from her. His face looked very bad. She was startled and hurried to his side. , but did not dare to touch him casually: "Brother Luo, where are you injured? How do you feel now?"

Luo felt that there was no place in his body that was not in pain. In addition to the scratches, there was a sharp pain in the scratched area. There was also an unbearable burning sensation that came from inside the body. Looking at Xue with great difficulty: "Maybe...poisoned..."

"Poisoned?" Xue thought of the white powder on the dagger at that time: "Damn it, it would be nice if I knew what the poison was."

Relying on the medical knowledge she had been learning, Xue quickly checked Luo's condition. Indeed, if we just talk about bruises and scratches, they are not serious. They are not even three points of the injuries they suffered while sailing and fighting. One, but only that poison. Seeing that almost all Luo's strength was used to fight against the pain, Xue was heartbroken.

"Yulu! Yulu, are you here?! You must be able to see it, right?!" Xue shouted into the air: "Didn't I say we have to make the final choice? Do you want Brother Luo to die now?! I Let me tell you, if he dies, I won’t want any Immortal Dew anymore, so you can always stick to your obsession and live in this fantasy world where you never see the light of day!”

After the words fell, Yulu in a white dress appeared after a while. She glanced at Luo and seemed to be remembering something, and then said lightly: "Fire poison, he will be extremely painful. If there is no antidote, he will be extremely painful." Under the circumstances, it won’t last more than a few hours.”

"The key point is how to solve it?! What did you do when Jinfeng was poisoned by fire? Did you let him die? That's right, that's what people like you must do." Xue said angrily: "But I'm different from you. I won't watch him die. Even you can't stop me."

Yulu smiled: "I didn't watch him die."

Xue was stunned and asked again: "Then what did you do? How did you save him?"

"I have developed a similar antidote. However, the properties of the medicine are extremely strong. It is much more effective at detoxifying fire poison. If he were to eat it directly, he might explode and die." There was an extra pill in Yulu's hand. : "When I go out, I usually carry some emergency medicines. It just so happened that I brought this with me at that time."

"You also said that if you take it directly, you will explode and die. What should you do? Can you only take half of it?" Xue took the pill from Yulu's hand and looked at it in her hand.

"This is a strong medicine. If it is attacked by fire poison, there is no difference between taking a little and taking one pill." Yulu looked at Xue, her thoughts returned to the past, and she said seriously: "In this life, only the golden wind treats me well, he He has been by my side for many years, and he suffered the poison of fire because he protected me. Saving his life is just what he should have done, and this is repayment."

Xue still listened in confusion until Yulu closed her eyes: "I took this medicine with my own unpoisoned body, and used the yin and yang to help him dispel the poison. I don't care about the etiquette in secular affairs, left and right, I don’t have anyone I love either.”

"You..." Xue held the pill blankly, looking at the painful Luo, thinking about Yulu's words.
