Aggrieved Fish Sprite

Just after dawn, the little boy from the medicine shop in Zhushan County got out of bed.

He rubbed his hands, quickly put on the cotton-padded jacket and trousers, and earnestly finished playing a set of Wu Qinxi in the room. Then he opened the window a small gap and squinted his eyes to look out.

The snow outside has stopped, which is a good sign.

Xiaotong went out happily, and happened to meet the cook who got up early to work.

"Hey, Tang Yazi, why are you up? It's so cold, go back to the kang and wait." Aunt Ge was about to enter the kitchen with firewood in her arms. She urged with a smile, "Have hot porridge for breakfast. You put an egg in it and add a few pieces of freshly beaten rice cakes to make sure you won't be hungry."

The boy from the pharmacy scratched his head in embarrassment. His hair hadn't grown up yet, and the cold wind blew, making him a little cold.

After returning to the house, he found a hat and put it on, and the boy named Tang Yazi went into the kitchen again.

"Ms. Ge, it's the third day. Doctor Mo is coming back. I don't dare to sleep in." The little boy pouted, helping to fill the stove with firewood.

Aunt Ge smiled and pinched the boy's face, jokingly said: "If you are really afraid that Doctor Mo will come back to test you, you should be holding the book and reciting it in a hurry. I think you are in a hurry to show off. , go back quickly, you don't need to be busy here, besides, Doctor Mo may not come back today!"

"Huh?" The boy was stunned.

Aunt Ge looked outside and said worriedly: "This year, the snow has never stopped. It was only a few days before the weather was fine. It started to snow again in the evening when Dr. Mo left. Now the snow in the yard is half the height of a person. The snow in the mountains The snow is probably bigger."

It would be troublesome if you were trapped in the mountains.

Just as he was talking, the sound of gongs beating suddenly came from the street, but it was Baojia shouting from house to house.

Aunt Ge went out of the kitchen, and the boy looked at the stove, and after a while, he saw Aunt Ge's man, the accountant from the pharmacy, dressed and went out. Before leaving, Aunt Ge only had time to stuff some cold steamed buns for him husband.

"Ms. Ge, what's the matter?" Xiao Tong stretched out his head to look around.

"Hey, the roofs of several villages were crushed by the snow, and the county government asked people to help save people!"

The little boy was taken aback, and looked up at the roof of his pharmacy.

Aunt Ge quickly said: "This is not a wooden house in the countryside, it's all made of stone bricks, old and sturdy. Besides, the county seat is in the south of the mountain, and the goose feather snow is blown from the north, and we still have Jimao Mountain to block it. "

The little boy was very clever, and asked: "Baojia said that the village where the accident happened is in the south of the mountain or in the north of the mountain?"

"Then I have to ask, it must be Shannan. With such a heavy snow, I don't know how many days it will be before the news reaches the mountain... Oh, my Buddha!" ​​Aunt Ge also reacted. The roof of the village can't support it. What will happen to the village in the north across a mountain?

Aunt Ge was so anxious that she recited the Buddha: "Natural disasters and man-made disasters, Amitabha..."

Before he could finish speaking, the door was knocked again, this time it was Xiao Tong who ran to open the door.

Outside the door was Captain Qin from the county government office. He was covered in snow. He patted his clothes and asked eagerly, "Is Doctor Mo back?"

The little boy shook his head, but his expression looked like he was about to cry.

Detective Qin originally came to invite Doctor Mo to rescue someone, but when he saw the boy's appearance, he immediately became nervous.

"Doctor Mo will be fine." Xiao Tong whispered.

Detective Qin quickly wiped his face, because he was still in a hurry to save people, so he couldn't delay any longer and was about to leave.

"Uncle Qin, wait, I can save people." The boy turned his head and wanted to go back to get the medicine box.

Aunt Ge quickly held the baby down, and stopped her, "Don't run around, Tangbai, you are not as high as the snow on the street outside, if you get lost, where will Doctor Mo find you when you come back? "

The little boy from the pharmacy pursed his lips, knowing in his heart that he couldn't help, so he could only watch helplessly as Captain Qin walked away.

The sky was overcast, and it was unclear whether the light was the sun behind the dark clouds or the light reflected by the snow.

Aunt Ge closed the courtyard door, and when she turned around, she found that the little boy was staring at the sky in a daze, and she couldn't help but take a look at it - the clouds were dense, and it didn't look like it was clearing up.

"Tangyazi, what are you looking at?"

"paw."

Xiaotong said vaguely, Aunt Ge didn't hear clearly, because she was afraid that the fire in the stove would go out, she didn't ask, and went straight into the kitchen, leaving Xiaotong staring at the sky with a puzzled face, he was sure what he saw, Just can't see clearly.

Behind the clouds, there must be some monsters hiding, right?

Xiaotong was only eight years old, and he had heard a lot of strange things in his daily life. He was not frightened at the moment, but his curiosity was aroused. He simply moved a small horse and sat in the yard watching the sky.

Until Mo Li came back, his little junior was still looking at the sky foolishly.

Yes, junior brother.

Tang Yazi is also a baby brought back by Mr. Qin. His name is Tang Xiaotang. The parents of this child are poor people in the mountains. Because of typhoid fever, it dragged on for a long time. After passing away one after another, only a child who has just learned to understand is left behind.

Orphans whose parents have both died like this are counted by neighbors and relatives. If there is still food left in the family, the child is adopted, or everyone shares a share and the child eats a hundred meals.

There are a lot of poor people in Zhushan County, but the folk customs here are simple and kind-hearted. Even Mr. Qin said that this is a rare and good place, and it feels like a paradise.

The common people live and work in peace and contentment, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and the county government officials are clear and clear.

Qin Lu saved many people and children, but in the end he left behind only Mo Li and Tang Xiaotang.

Not to mention the ink carp, he is intelligent, eager to learn, and has good muscles and bones.

As for Tang Yazi, at such a young age, he can recognize a dozen kinds of herbs. He is very talented in this area, but he doesn't have the muscles and bones to learn martial arts.Qin Lu feels that when the child grows up, a little self-defense instinct is enough. As for the medical skills, the child is still young, so take good care of it first, and don't rush it for a while.

Because Qin Lu lived in the mountains, Tang Xiaotang didn't have the talent to practice martial arts, so he didn't have to endure hardships when he was young, so he followed Mo Li to learn and help in the county medicine shop.

Originally, according to Qin Lu's habit, only those who have learned all his skills can be regarded as apprentices, and those who learn such a skill can be regarded as registered disciples at most.In the past, Tang Xiaotang, he would not pay too much attention to it, let alone put it next to the closest students, and let Mo Li take care of it.But people, when they get older, they have more worries. Old Mr. Qin has no worries, the only thing he worries about is Mo Carp's illness.

Although this paranoid disease doesn't affect anything, Mo Li himself is also a master of Qihuang, but what if!Qin Lu was very afraid that after his death, Mo Li's condition would suddenly deteriorate. Who would take care of and heal his students?

Tang Xiaotang is Mr. Qin's spare prescription.

Mo Li didn't know Qin Lu's thoughts, anyway, the child was very worry-free, so just let it go.

——Compared with raising children, Moli cares more about the ginseng, foxes, and snakes in the mountains.

There are no monsters in Qimao Mountain, and Mo Li wants to look for them in other places, but now is not the time to travel far, the teacher is old, and the junior has not learned anything yet.There is an old saying in the book, that is, parents are not far away.

When Tang Xiaotang saw Mo Li enter the door, he blinked his eyes, and then saw Qin Lu supported by Mo Li, and immediately went up happily.

"Mr. Qin, Doctor Mo!"

Because there was no formal apprenticeship, Tang Xiaotang called the two of them the same as outsiders.

Qin Lu was tired, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days and one night, Mo Li tried his best to persuade him, he realized that his body was not as good as before, so he agreed to go to the student's house to have a rest.

Tang Xiaotang ran back and forth, carrying the washbasin and the towel again, and wandering behind the ink carp.

"Doctor Mo, the people at the county government said that the roof of the village in Shannan has collapsed. Uncle Ge went to help early in the morning, and Aunt Ge was also called by the government to sew felt cloth to keep out the cold at noon..."

"I already know about this, I'll go later." Mo Li went to get hot water from the kitchen stove, twisted a hot towel and handed it to Qin Lu.

Qin Lu looked at Mo Li, who was still in good spirits and didn't look tired, and thought with emotion, he was indeed a young man.

Mo Li met Qin Lu's eyes, he was stunned for a while, then he straightened his chest, smiled and nodded to reassure the teacher - he is a demon, not a human, and he is fine if he doesn't sleep for ten days, the teacher knows.

"The snow in the south of the mountain is less than that in the north of the mountain, and the disaster is not as serious as that there. I can do it alone." Mo Li said calmly.

Seeing that Mo Li was about to leave, Tang Xiaotang hurriedly said, "There's still porridge in the pot, I'll serve it, Doctor Mo can eat it before leaving!" Without waiting for Mo Li to answer, Tang Xiaotang rushed in out of the kitchen.

Qin Lu looked solemn, looking at Mo Li hesitant to speak.

"Teacher?" Mo Li had already realized that Qin Lu wanted to say something to him, but because he was busy saving people, he kept silent.

"Shizhi, you are young and full of energy, but you must also cherish yourself." Old Mr. Qin still held back. He knew that Mo Li's illness had come back just now when he saw Mo Li's expression, and he couldn't speak casually to hurt Mo Li can only persuade him in his own way.

——What is different from ordinary people's stamina, it is obviously because of high martial arts and strong internal skills!

"What the teacher said, Shi Zhi remembered." Mo Li knew that Qin Lu was concerned, so he obediently responded, but said worriedly, "Students are worried that if the snow falls again, many people will not be able to survive."

"This is a thief." Qin Lu raised his head subconsciously. As a well-educated person, he has a good knowledge of astronomy and geography, so he can naturally see the sky. Of course, he knows that this is not a sign of sunshine at all, and there may be snow.

With the cold wind blowing, Mo Li suddenly frowned, because he felt as if something flashed through the clouds.

"..."

The master and apprentice looked at each other, and from the astonishment in each other's eyes, they confirmed that it was not an illusion just now.

"Teacher, could something be causing trouble?" Mo Li murmured. After all, there were county magistrates who offended the mountain god in Strange Tales of Gods and Monsters, causing a three-year drought in the area, or the monsters ran out to make trouble because no one enshrined them. of.

If it is a monster, he is also a monster, why doesn't he have such ability?

After thinking about it for a lifetime, there was a buzzing sound in the ink carp's mind, and he felt the sky and the earth spinning, his consciousness was separated from his body and he didn't know where he was floating.

"Snapped."

With a crisp sound, the fog in front of Mo Li's eyes quickly disappeared, and his consciousness returned to his body.

It was so dangerous that his body almost collapsed, Doctor Mo hurriedly wiped off the scales floating on his face.

Qin Lu didn't see his student's problem. He raised his neck and looked at the air in shock. Tang Xiaotang also made the same movement as him. This child was so frightened that he dropped the bowl in his hand. This voice brought back the ink carp's consciousness.

Seeing the teacher and junior staring at the sky in a daze, Mo Li involuntarily raised his head.

"...!!!"

The dark clouds rolled, and a pitch-black giant dragon appeared among the clouds, with horns on its head and slightly opened claws. It was slender and lifelike.

The author has something to say:

Mo Li: ...Teacher, did you agree that there would be no dragons?
