Mortals ask the immortals

"Mother, Sheng'er went outside the city to dig some grass roots today, and also... picked up a half snake. I'll cook it and feed it to you later. You will definitely feel better after eating it!"

As soon as he walked into the door of the wooden house, Duan Qing heard the excited voice of the little girl inside.

Creak~

The wooden door was pushed open by Duan Qing, making a harsh sound.

The space in the house was not large. A sleeping woman was lying on the wooden bed with thatched mats. Together with the simple stove and water tank, it occupied most of the space in the house. There were no tables or chairs, which seemed very cramped.

At this time, the little girl was busy doing something in front of the stove. When she heard the door being pushed open, she looked at the door in surprise.

Seeing that it was the bad guy who followed her home, the little girl subconsciously glanced at the snake head on the stove, raised her dirty little face and emphasized to Duan Qing.

"This snake head is mine!" The tone was firm with a hint of guilt.

Duan Qing remained silent, raised his hand and directly took the snake head in his hand, threw it back and threw it out of the door, far away and no one knew where it fell.

"Give me back my snake head! Give me back my snake head!" The little girl suddenly became emotional, yelling and kicking Duan Qing.

Duan Qing was indifferent to this. How could the little girl's weak fists and feet hurt him!

"Don't you want to save your mother?" He shouted at the little girl.

The little girl stopped her movements after hearing this, raised her head and looked at Duan Qing with tears in her eyes, her eyes full of suspicion.

"Can you save my mother?" The little girl was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice with some hope.

Duan Qing shook his head gently. He didn't know medicine, nor did he know what disease the woman on the bed had. He followed the little girl to her home, and his original intention was just not to let the little girl accidentally eat a poisonous snake and die in vain.

The spirit in the little girl's eyes quickly dimmed, biting her lips and tears falling silently.

"I can help you get a doctor!" Duan Qing said seriously.

After seeing the miserable situation in the little girl's home, he did have sympathy and wanted to help the little girl.

The little girl's face froze, and she lowered her head in disappointment.

"I... my family can't afford a doctor!" The little girl was very depressed. After her mother fell ill, she had asked all the doctors in the city for help, but those people refused to come to see her mother without medical fees. Otherwise, how could she ask the immortal master of the Second Heaven for help.

"You don't have to pay for the medical fee!" Duan Qing was a little touched. He could see that the little girl must have suffered a lot for her mother at this age, which made him think of his parents.

At the beginning, he decided to go to Luzhou City with Uncle Wang, which indirectly led to the death of his parents. He didn't know about it from Brother Dasheng until a long time after his parents passed away. This matter became a regret of his life!

Now seeing the little girl fighting so hard for her mother, suffering cold eyes and humiliation in the Second Heaven, and encountering a poisonous snake outside March City, she dared to fight for her life at such a young age. He really didn't want the little girl's persistence to turn into flowing water, nor did he want to see another regret in the world.

"Really!!!" The little girl raised her head and looked at Duan Qing in surprise, stretched out her dirty hands, and tightly grasped the corner of Duan Qing's clothes.

Duan Qing nodded solemnly to the little girl.

"Thank you, uncle! Sheng'er will take uncle to see a doctor right now!"

The little girl couldn't wait, so she took Duan Qing's hand and walked out the door. After two steps, she realized something and turned around to whisper to the woman who was sleeping on the bed.

"Mom! You have a good rest. Sheng'er will accompany uncle to see a doctor now."

The little girl's abrupt behavior did not offend Duan Qing. On the contrary, he admired the little girl's frankness very much, but the uncle made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Speaking of which, he was not yet sixteen years old when he left Xiao'an City. He stayed in Jinxuan Sect for more than four years. Now he is just in his early twenties. Being called uncle made him feel strange.

The little girl was very emotional along the way, and even took the initiative to ask Duan Qing questions.

"Uncle, you have a lot of blood on your body. Do you want to let the doctor take a look!"

Duan Qing shook his head gently to indicate that he didn't need to see a doctor.

The injuries on his body were caused by the scorpion-shaped monster's sneak attack with sharp thorns. At the beginning, he was indeed seriously injured.

But during the time he rushed back to the Third Heaven, he took the spiritual spring water to restore his spiritual power, and he could clearly feel that his wounds were getting better. His left chest and left arm had regained some sensation, and the pain was also relieved.

He felt that he would be able to recover if he continued to take care of it for a few days, and there was no need to see a doctor.

"Is this your own blood? Or the monster's?" The little girl saw Duan Qing shaking his head and seemed to have misunderstood.

Duan Qing was stunned, lowered his head and glanced at the blood stains all over his body, thought for a while and said: "Both!"

When he killed the monster before, there was indeed a lot of monster blood splashed on him, plus his own, and now his Taoist robe is almost unrecognizable.

"Uncle, you are so powerful, Sheng'er heard that monsters can eat people, and daddy is...!" At this point, the little girl suddenly fell silent.

Duan Qing had learned from the two women before that the little girl's father had died in the beast tide ten years ago, so he quickly changed the subject.

"What's your name?" He asked the little girl.

"My name is Xiao Sheng, and my mother usually calls me Sheng'er. By the way, I don't know what to call my uncle?" The little girl smiled at Duan Qing, showing her little tiger teeth, as if she had forgotten the loss just now.

Duan Qing also smiled back.

"Duan Qing, I'm not much older than you!" He emphasized this point.

"Then I'll call you Brother Qing!" The little girl Xiao Sheng was very smart, and she understood Duan Qing's implication at once.

Duan Qing couldn't help but smile knowingly when he heard this. Somehow, Xiao Sheng made him feel very kind.

...

Soon, Xiao Sheng took Duan Qing to find a doctor in the north of the city. After paying the consultation fee, they went back to Xiao Sheng's residence to treat his mother.

Because March City has been isolated from the world for a long time, the currency in circulation is mainly gold and silver left over from countless years ago, or barter.

Although Duan Qing has no gold and silver, he still has some spirit stones. The mortals in March City have been living next to the cultivators in the second heaven for a long time, and many cultivators have also come out. Spirit stones can naturally be used as currency in March City, and their value is even far higher than gold and silver.

He only took out a spirit stone, and the doctor was happy to see him.

The doctor diagnosed that Xiao Sheng's mother was just suffering from a cold, and the lack of food nourishment made her sick for a long time, which led to people saying that she had an epidemic.

The doctor only prescribed a prescription for treating the cold and left directly.

Although Duan Qing didn't know much about medicine, he also felt that the medicines on the prescription were very strange. Unlike Xiaonanjie, most of them were marine products, such as snail shell powder and tide-born stone.

Considering that March City had been isolated from the outside world for a long time and that supplies were scarce, even clothes were made of leather, so it was not surprising that its medical skills were unique.
