The road is long, take it and cherish it

Thursday, May 5th, 11:04 in the morning.

Lu Wuwei woke up quietly. He quietly woke up Xiaocui. The two quietly picked up their luggage and walked out of the room.

When the two of them came to the door, they just breathed a sigh of relief when Ono's voice suddenly came from the door.

"Are you ready to leave? There are no buses at this point. Saint, do you need me to carry you?"

Lu Wuwei looked at Xiaoye in surprise.

"Weren't you sleeping in there just now? Where is your father?"

Ono replied disapprovingly: "You made so much noise, of course I woke up. My father went back to the tribe first."

"Otherwise, you can go back, and I will take care of her for you. Besides, we didn't buy your plane ticket."

Ono shook his head firmly.

"It is my responsibility to protect the Saint. I don't trust you, even if you are stronger than me. If you want to get rid of me, unless you kill me and kill our entire tribe, besides, I don't need a plane ticket."

After saying that, he stared at Xiaocui with piercing eyes.

After that, the three of them waited in the wind and snow for two hours before getting on the bus. When Ono took out a card and swiped it on the front of the bus, they boarded the bus for free. Lu Wuwei was shocked.

"Don't you stay in the snowy mountains all year round? What is this card?"

Xiaoye looked at Lu Wuwei as if he were a country bumpkin.

"Of course we have to keep pace with the times. This is issued to our tribe by the government, and in exchange we will do some things for them."

Along the way, Ono kept an eye on Xiaocui and asked her if she wanted to drink water, eat some beef jerky, and if her butt hurt from sitting on the seat. She could sit on his lap.

However, they were all rejected by Xiao Cui.

But he was not discouraged, and he still had that heartless smile on his face.

Lu Wuwei observed him curiously, and he couldn't help but say, "Are you always so happy? Aren't you sad when you keep being rejected?"

Ono glanced at Lu Wuwei in disbelief.

"Life is fragile and may leave at any time, so cherish it and face it with a smile. What's more, I am now taking on the most glorious mission of my clan to guard the saint's side. What should I be unhappy about? .”

After a long time, the three of them arrived at the airport. They took their luggage and went to the departure hall. Ono took away all Xiaocui's luggage and did not let her carry anything.

After Ono swiped his card, the three of them were invited into the VIP terminal by the commissioner, and then boarded the plane in advance. When Ono asked, they upgraded Lu Wuwei and the two to first class for free. Work at the airport The staff even couldn't wait to refund Lu Wuwei and their air tickets.

Everything is so incredible.

Ono also rubbed the back of his head and said that this was also the first time he used this card. His father only told him that he could take some transportation for free, and nothing else.

Afterwards, the three of them sat in first class, enjoying the meticulous care of the stewardess, and soon arrived at their destination.

Lu Wuwei got off the plane with some reluctance. There was no need to rush back this time. They did not choose to waste money on taking a taxi back. The three of them chose to take the subway.

This also tests that Ono’s card is also universal on the subway.

After that, the three of them drove around for several times and finally returned to the pet shop.

Looking at the familiar pet shop, Xiao Cui felt for a moment that the experiences she had experienced these past few days were so magical and unbelievable. She felt lucky for her original decision.

She turned back to look at Lu Wuwei.

"Mr. Lu, what do you need me to do next? How much of my blood do you need? This time I think I can ask the hospital to help get a needle to take blood. It does hurt to cut my hand with a knife, and it may leave scars."

As she spoke, she opened her left hand, but to her surprise, the previous wound actually disappeared at this moment. Her palm seemed to have never been injured. She had not noticed it before.

She looked at Lu Wuwei in surprise, and Lu Wuwei said: "This is only part of the benefits that Snow Lotus brings to you. Don't worry about taking the blood. Let's go back and rest first. There are also some auxiliary materials. I have to prepare them first. "

Ono stood aside and suddenly looked at Xiaocui and said, "Saint, you want to use your own blood? No! This will hurt yourself!"

Lu Wuwei said from the side: "It won't be used a lot."

"That won't work either!" Ono said without giving in.

"Xiaobao, I will definitely save him. Mr. Lu, you don't have to worry about him! A little blood can change a life. There is nothing to hesitate about."

Lu Wuwei looked at Xiaocui and said: "One thing, I need to tell you, although the snow lotus is integrated into your body, its energy is limited. She can protect you from all diseases throughout your life. If your body is harmed, as long as It is not fatal and will recover quickly. The original toxins and impurities in your body will be slowly excreted. You can be understood as the legendary clean body. With this kind of physique, you can also see it on the snow-capped mountains. This world It's not as simple as it seems. If you want, I can show you a different scenery, but every time your blood is used up, its energy will be lost until you become an ordinary person again. "

After Xiaocui listened to Lu Wuwei's explanation, she nodded seriously.

"It sounds really tempting, but I have already received many unexpected benefits. One can't forget his original intention, right? Mr. Lu."

Lu Wuwei nodded happily.

"I'm glad you think so."

Ono didn't know what to say when he heard this. This was the saint's own decision, and he couldn't stop it.

After that, the three of them entered the pet store. Lu Wuwei left first to buy other needed materials.

Only Xiaocui and Ono were left in the store.

After Lu Wuwei left, Xiaoye followed Xiaocui closely because he was still struggling with the matter of blood collection.

Xiaocui didn't know what to talk to this young man.

Xiaocui thought for a while and sent a message to her mother, telling her that she was back and would go home for dinner later. After a brief chat with her mother, she put down her phone.

The silent atmosphere lasted for a long time. Finally, Xiao Cui couldn't help but stand up and went to the bathroom. When she reached the door of the bathroom, she looked back and saw Ono still following closely behind her.

"Well, I want to go to the women's restroom, don't you want to follow me?"

She specially emphasized the words "women's restroom".

But Ono nodded as if he didn't understand and said: "Yes."

"Huh?" Xiao Cui said in surprise. After a moment, she said helplessly: "From now on, when I go to the bathroom, you will wait for me outside. You are not allowed to come in. Do you hear me? I will be out in a while."

Ono listened to the saint's tone that he could not refuse. He thought about it and nodded obediently.

Xiaocui breathed a sigh of relief and entered the bathroom.

After that, a long time passed, and the sky outside was completely dark. Lu Wuwei finally came back with a few bags of things. He opened the store door, feeling the dead atmosphere in the store, and looked at Xiao Cui.

"I'm back. Why are you so quiet? We are all of the same age and can talk more."

When Xiao Cui saw Lu Wuwei coming back, she stood up excitedly and went to greet him. However, she stopped just after taking two steps. Her feet were a little numb. She smiled awkwardly.

"Mr. Lu, you are finally back. How are you preparing the other medicinal materials?"

Lu Wuwei raised the bag in his hand and said with a smile that everything was ready.

Afterwards, the three of them took a taxi and came to the hospital.

They borrowed a room from the nurse specifically for cooking Chinese medicine. Since it was already night, they were the only ones in the room now. Lu Wuwei also found a syringe.

Soon, he started a fire and started to cook the prepared medicinal materials. As the medicinal materials were put into the furnace one by one, the aroma of the medicine gradually filled the entire room.

Half an hour later, Lu Wuwei turned off the fire, opened the stove lid, looked at the light yellow concoction in front of him, nodded with satisfaction, and turned back to look at Xiao Cui.

"Next, I just need your blood to be used as medicine, and you're done."

Xiaocui nodded. She took the syringe and sat on a chair nearby, looking at Lu Wuwei firmly.

Lu Wuwei didn't hesitate. He walked up to Xiao Cui and expertly pricked a needle on the back of Xiao Cui's hand. The bright red blood slowly flowed out and dripped into a bowl nearby. If you look carefully, you can see the needle on her hand. Dots of light blue light could be seen in the blood.

Xiao Cui frowned slightly, but Xiao Ye was even more uncomfortable than her. His troubled face was almost wrinkled. He stared at the bowl for a while and Lu Wuwei for a while, but in the end he still endured it. say.

After a while, Lu Wuwei saw that the blood was almost enough. He pulled out the needle for Xiao Cui. He took the small half bowl of blood to the stove and poured it all in.

The next moment, a lot of water vapor evaporated from the medicine stove. After a while, the water vapor dissipated, leaving less than half the potion of medicine. The whole medicine was light blue. Lu Wuwei carefully poured out the medicine.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded towards Xiao Cui with a smile.

Then, the three of them came to Xiaobao's ward with medicine. At this time, Xiaobao had been drinking the medicine given by Lu Wuwei for two days, and her condition was well suppressed. Now she was listening to her mother telling stories.

Lu Wuwei briefly told his mother about this before they cooked the medicine. When Sister Shen saw them coming, her face showed one of the few smiles in this time.

She tried not to cry, but her eyes were already red.

After that, Sister Shen fed the medicine to Xiaobao one by one without any hesitation. She saw Xiaobao's improvement in the past two days. Even after the doctor checked, he said that Xiaobao's condition was actually improved. Very good containment, just incredible.

After Xiaobao drank all the potion in small sips, his little eyes became clearer obviously. He reached out and kissed Sister Shen on the face.

At this moment, Sister Shen couldn't bear it any longer, and warm tears fell on Xiaobao's face. She looked at Lu Wuwei and Xiaocui excitedly, and said softly: "Thank you, thank you so much." .”

Xiao Cui quickly smiled and waved her hands to indicate it was nothing.

Afterwards, after Lu Wuwei gave a few more instructions, the three of them left the hospital.

The three of them walked slowly on the dark street. Xiaocui asked Lu Wuwei if Xiaobao had recovered?

Lu Wuwei shook his head.

"It's so fast. Just wait for half a month. His body will slowly absorb the effects of the medicine, and by then, he will be completely recovered."

When Xiaocui heard this, she looked at Lu Wuwei with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Lu Wuwei suddenly stopped and asked, "What are your plans next?"

Xiaocui said casually: "What else can I plan to do? I can continue to work in the pet shop. Anyway, there are basically no classes in the junior year of school, and everyone is doing internships outside."

"Apart from these? Have you ever considered practicing Taoism?"

Xiaocui's steps paused, and she looked at Lu Wuwei seriously.

"Can I really become someone like you? That way I can help more people."

Lu Wuwei smiled.

"You will be stronger than me in the future, and your kindness will be above mine from beginning to end."

Xiaocui nodded sheepishly.

"I am very willing! Then, you will be my master from now on! Do you need any apprenticeship ceremony? Do I need to prepare anything?"

Lu Wuwei smiled and shook his head. He gently touched Xiaocui's head.

"Nothing is needed. From now on, you will be my second apprentice. I will take you to see your senior sister another day. You will definitely like her. By the way, it was my master who came to save us from the snowy mountain that day."

Ono, who was still distracted at the side, suddenly came to his senses. He said in panic: "Wait, no, saint, how can you worship him as your teacher? This is against the rules, this is not allowed!"

Lu Wuwei frowned and looked at Xiaoye.

"What's wrong with you? If it really doesn't work, I can reluctantly accept you, a reckless man, as my apprentice. How about that?"

Xiaoye looked at the saint and then at Lu Wuwei, who shook his head like a rattle.

"No, this won't work."

But apparently his opinion doesn't matter.

The two looked at each other and smiled and ignored him.

Comrade Ono felt even more depressed. He missed his father so much, although he often beat himself.

Afterwards, the three of them arrived at Xiao Cui's home. As soon as they entered, Xiao Cui called out twice, and her parents hurried down from upstairs. Seeing that their daughter was intact and looking very happy, they They were also relieved, but when they saw the two people behind Xiao Cui, she couldn't help but worry again. Why did an extra young man come back after this trip? This young man seemed to be bitter and resentful. He was also dressed strangely, and he didn't look like a good person.

However, her parents still entertained the two of them warmly. Lu Wuwei looked at the bowls of food on the small dining table, and he started to swallow. After that, a few people exchanged greetings, and Lu Wuwei and Xiaoye were not polite. Started eating. Don't consider yourself an outsider at all.

After finishing the meal, Xiao Ye naturally got up and started washing the dishes, even though Xiao Cui's parents repeatedly stopped him, but it had no effect.

Of course, what shocked Xiaocui's parents even more was when they learned that this young man actually wanted to live in their own home! They were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths, and they couldn't speak for a long time. The first thing they thought of was, did their daughter go out and bring back a boyfriend? It is simply unbelievable. Although my precious daughter has indeed grown up, and it is natural for her to have a boyfriend, this is too sudden, and she actually brought her home directly, and there is this Is it an operation?

Just when the two of them were surprised, Lu Wuwei and Xiao Cui on the other side came to the room. Lu Wuwei looked at the warm room and said, "What a warm home. It's so enviable. No wonder I taught you such a kind person." , before I teach you some basic mental techniques, let’s talk about the topic before we set off, I’m very curious about the answer to the question.”

Xiaocui smiled slightly. She slowly walked to her bed and sat down. She signaled to Lu Wuwei that you were welcome and to find a place to sit.

She looked down at her fingers.

"I actually have some psychological problems, but I've gotten better recently. The cause started when I was in junior high school. At that time, a boy liked me and he confessed to me, but I didn't like him, so I rejected him, but He soon told the public that he had slept with me, and then abandoned me because he felt it was boring. Because of this incident, the school found me and asked me to drop out of school. My classmates began to isolate me, and there were several girls I didn't know who would come to school after class. After that, they always bullied me because some of them liked that boy. Later, I often had thoughts of committing suicide. I began to close myself off and not communicate with other people. At that time, there was only one thought in my mind, right? If you die, you won't have these pains. However, I couldn't worry about my parents, so I didn't actually commit suicide in the end. Later, my condition became more and more serious. I would wake up from nightmares every night. My parents took me there. At the hospital, the doctor diagnosed me with severe depression. He suggested that I stay away from my old life and prescribed a lot of medicine. Then I took a year off from school. In order not to worry my parents, I told them that I was much better. I pretended to be positive and optimistic, and expressed my hope to continue going to school, so I went to another school to continue going to school. I tried hard to forget the past, pretended to be false, made many new friends, and took the initiative to help her. , but when I am alone, I will feel sick about it, because even if I do this, there will still be some rumors circulating between them. I often feel like I am in darkness, as if it will swallow me up at any time. Later, I went shopping with my parents and passed Sister Shen’s pet shop. When I saw those furry animals, their innocent eyes deeply attracted me. In the days to come, I would often come to the pet shop. Come and see these little guys, Sister Shen is also a warm big sister. She often invites me to play with the little animals. During that time, it was Sister Shen and these little guys who gradually lit up the darkness behind me. As for, how did I do it? It was actually very simple to convince my parents. I have looked a lot better over the years, but I never left the pet store area too far, even in high school and college. With my grades, I could have chosen a better place. School, but I refused. My parents probably knew that I had not fully recovered yet, so they hoped that I would be willing to take this first step."

Lu Wuwei listened quietly to Xiao Cui's understatement about the past. He stood up and came to Xiao Cui's side, patting her head gently.

"You have worked hard for so many years, but what I want to tell you is that kindness is your nature, and there is nothing wrong with you, but when facing the darkness, you must also have the courage to punch them! Tell me, that person back then What is the name of the boy who confessed your love? I will take you to find him tomorrow."

"what?"

Xiaocui didn't expect her master to say that, so she waved her hand in surprise.

"No need. After so many years, I'm much better now. What's more, I don't even know where he lives."

Lu Wuwei looked at Xiao Cui seriously.

"Just tell me his name, and leave the rest to me. The best way to deal with the inner demons is to face him, and then completely defeat him! This is Master's request, you can't refuse."

Xiaocui finally hesitated and told Lu Wuwei the name of the person. Lu Wuwei nodded with satisfaction and left. Before leaving, he told Xiaocui that he would go to the pet store to find her tomorrow morning.

After Xiao Cui came out of the room, she saw Xiao Ye working hard to clean the living room. Her parents saw her coming out and hurriedly came over. Her mother hesitated and said: "Cui, this is yours." My friend, no matter how much we try to persuade him, it’s no use. He said that he would live in our house for a while and that all the cleaning and other matters in the house could be left to him. Cui, please tell us the truth. Are you in a relationship? Huh? It’s not that mom doesn’t allow you to talk, but I just feel like it’s a bit too fast.”

After Xiaocui heard what her mother said, she quickly explained: "No, mom, he is not my boyfriend, he is a friend I met these days when I went out. He... has no place to live for the time being. I think there is no place to live at home." There is also a guest room, it’s really not what you think, it’s just friends.”

Xiaocui's mother nodded in disbelief.

"That's it. Then ask him to stop cleaning. There are people who let guests clean. Since they are your friends, it doesn't matter how long they stay. It's a matter of adding a pair of chopsticks."

After that, Xiao Cui helped tidy up the guest room at home. In fact, Xiao Ye himself hoped that it would be best to live in the same house with the Saint, and he could lay the floor. However, before his opinion could be expressed, Xiao Cui blocked him back. Of course , Ono didn't mean to blaspheme the saint, he just didn't want the saint to leave his sight.

After Xiaocui struggled to settle Ono, she dragged her exhausted body and mind back to her room. She thought for a while and locked the door, then took off her coat and lay on the soft big bed. In this sweltering summer, At night, she usually turns on the air conditioner as soon as possible. However, this time she lay in bed for a long time before she remembered that she hadn't turned on the air conditioner yet. However, she didn't seem to feel stuffy at all. Her body felt warm from inside. Outside I feel refreshed.

It seems that it can help the family save a lot of electricity bills in the future. She thought about this. She felt that after lying on the bed, the fatigue of her body in the past few days completely broke out at this moment. Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she felt dazed. Thinking back on the magical experience of these two days, it was really incredible. She never thought that she, who had never been very lucky, would one day meet such a good person as Master. As she thought about it, her thoughts slowly weakened and her breathing began. become even.

As for Ono in the guest room, he tossed and turned on the Simmons bed. The bed was too soft and he was not used to sleeping. He was used to sleeping on a hard bed. To be precise, he slept on the floor most of the time. In this case If there were footsteps approaching, he would be the first to notice.

Finally, Ono jumped out of bed and lay on the ground, his ears against the ground, and fell asleep quickly.
