sun and moon return

In the afternoon, Zheli and Feidao walked around the village at will.

Somehow, the cattle raised by a family ran into the field and ate half of the field of wheat seedlings.When the owner of the wheat field came out, the owner of the cow apologized again and again. The owner of the wheat field had a kind face, and said in a good temper that it was all right, and told him to take the cow back quickly.

A few women gathered at the mouth of the well, squatting by the well to wash clothes.

The three children I saw yesterday are still playing rock-paper-scissors today.

The little girl stretched out her chubby hands and made a cloth, the little boy with a flat smile made a pair of scissors, and the big girl also smiled and made a rock.

The little boy won, and stretched out his hand to flick the foreheads of the two little friends.

The days in the village are so peaceful, everyone is extraordinarily friendly, which makes Zheli feel a little dazed. Is this really the rumored Qitan Village?

He looked at Fei and said, "Master, have you noticed something weird?"

Feidao glanced at the peaceful village: "It's so peaceful."

Like a sigh.

"Yeah, how can such a place like a paradise be spread so evil?"

"Do you still remember the Candle Dragon Sacrifice Array?"

Zhe Li showed some astonishment, and he was puzzled: "In this way, such tranquility is not normal."

The sun was shining outside, but there was not much light in the small house in the backyard against the mountain.

Busy doctors are immersed in this long medicinal fragrance, processing the fresh medicinal materials picked in the morning.

The door "squeaked" and was pushed open from the outside. Zhou Yuning cast a calm look at the door, and his hands kept moving: "Girl, what's the matter?"

That's right, it was Wanxiang who came.

She leaned against the door, looked at Zhou Yuning calmly with her chest in her arms, and said with a coquettish smile: "I heard that Mr. Dongjun likes to study 24 poisonous flowers for fun, it seems that the rumors are true."

Zhou Yuning's movements of flipping the herbs froze for a moment, but he still kept his head down and worked hard: "I don't understand what the girl is saying."

The crisp laughter was like a silver bell, and Zhou Yuning's heart was shaken as the girl opened her lips and whispered.After saying that, she covered her face with a smile, didn't stay for long, and left lightly.

The young man was left alone by the shelf of herbs.

"I was entrusted by an old friend to take something and return it to the original owner."

After standing still for a moment, Zhou Yuning put down the medicine basket in his hand, with a look of disappointment on his face.

At dusk, the smoke from the cooking in the village wafted up. After Zhou Yuning was busy with the pharmacy, he repaired the flowers and plants in the yard, and Mrs. Zhou was there to help.

Doctor Hong was a little familiar with himself. When he came here, he saw a lot of exotic flowers and plants planted in the yard. Seeing Zhou Yuning cultivating soil outside the yard, he hurried over to chat with him and asked him a lot about herbal medicine.

Zhou Yuning had a good temper, he answered every question, and even gave him a few plants of herbs, Dr. Hong was so happy that he almost grinned to the ears.

They talked about the knowledge of herbal medicine cultivation, and Mrs. Zhou listened with a smile on the side.

It was a little later, and the smoke rose from the kitchen. Zhou Yuning helped Mrs. Zhou cook dinner and entertained a few people.

The night was shrouded in darkness, and after Zheli helped Mrs. Zhou clean up the kitchen, the courtyard became quiet again.

Pushing open the bedroom door, Lan Shushu saw Lan Shushu sitting beside the bed in a daze in the dark night.She lit the candle, moved to Zhou Yuning's side, and asked calmly, "Yuning, why don't you light a lamp?"

Zhou Yuning looked up at her tenderly, the melancholy just now seemed to be swept away, he reached out to hold Lan Shushu's hand, and pulled him into his arms: "When you come, it will be on, there is no need to turn on the lamp."

Lan Shushu looked at him with a smile.

"Where did the story of yesterday end?" Lan Shushu sat down gently next to him, leaning on his broad chest, "Oh, when it comes to the fact that Shi Dongjun, who did evil, snatched the body of the medicine picker, and then what?"

Zhou Yuning stretched out his arms to hug her, his cold body still had no warmth: "Then, the medicine picker is not reconciled, he still has a sweetheart, he still has to avenge his parents, he also has to cure illnesses and save lives, and write the unfinished book The theory of the nature of herbs, I don't know where to get the power, maybe because Shi Dongjun was seriously injured, his soul actually overwhelmed Shi Dongjun's soul, and also obtained part of Shi Dongjun's memory, he followed the memory from Shi Dongjun's body I found a treasure on the model."

"Because of that treasure and the elixir left by Shi Dongjun, the medicine picker smashed the soul of Shi Dongjun who was still trying to take away his body, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul floating in his mind. to his yelling."

"The medicine picker who had escaped death walked down the mountain weakly, but when he was covered in blood, he walked to the mountain depression where he could see the village, but he saw green smoke wafting from the direction of the village."

Zhou Yuning's voice was soft and calm, just like the scent of medicine wrapped around him, reassuring.

"Is it on fire?" Lan Shushu closed her eyes and asked softly.

Zhou Yuning looked out of the window in the dark night: "The medicine picker scrambled back to the village, but the girl he loved died before his eyes, and then the fire filled the entire village. His familiar elders, neighbors, friends, playmates, They died tragically in front of them one by one."

"It's so miserable." The girl said, but she still had a gentle and calm smile on her face, without even frowning, "Who killed them?"

Zhou Yuning was about to speak, but the commotion from next door interrupted him.

Lan Shushu left Zhou Yuning's embrace and sat up straight: "It seems that something happened to the guests?"

Zhou Yuning touched her head: "Don't be afraid, after tonight, they will like it here, and if they live in the village, we will have a few more neighbors."

"My lord, wake up, my lord! The master is gone!" With the shouts of the guards, everyone opened the door and rushed out.

While tugging at his clothes, Qian Er rushed to his father's room. There was no one in the empty room. He ran out eagerly, grabbed the guard's collar and asked, "What do you think?!"

The guard fell to his knees: "I just took a nap..."

"Mr. Qian, don't worry," Zheli pulled him back, "With Mr. Qian's current body and bones, he can't walk very far. There are only two roads here. Master and I will follow the road in the village to look for you and Doctor Hong. Brother, look for it along the way up the mountain."

Qian Er tied up his clothes tightly: "You're right, we're leaving now."

"Wait," Feidao called to stop the crowd, "Listen."

In the thick night, there was a faint crying sound, the sound was shrill and full of fear, and it made everyone's hair stand on end.

The group quickly followed the cries and found the muddy Mr. Qian on the road in the village.

Master Qian's eyes protruded, terrified, howling, and staring at the surroundings: "How... how..."

"Father!" Qian Er pulled him up, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

Qian Er only felt that the skinny old man in his arms was as strong as a bison at this moment, and he was going on a rampage. Zhe Li looked in the direction Master Qian was staring at, and it was the house of the Qian family that Lan Shushu mentioned in Bai Ri Li .

"Does Master Qian want to go home and have a look?" Zhe Li frowned and asked.

Qian Er grabbed his father's arm and followed his gaze into the dark night: "It's dark and midnight..."

The lanterns on all sides lit up in response.

Everyone was startled, only to find that a row of white lanterns had been hung on the tree branches by the roadside at some point, and even hung one in front of each house.

Immediately, a person squeezed over Zheli, and it was Dr. Hong: "Is this...the lantern used to attract the souls of the dead in funerals..." He involuntarily reached out and grabbed Zheli's sleeve, trembling.

He turned around along the lantern, screamed again, and fell to the ground with his buttocks, squeaking.

Everyone turned their heads, and there was also a lantern hanging in front of Zhou Yuning's house, but that lantern was strange, it was floating on the roof, and what was even weirder was that there was a face next to the lantern upon closer inspection.

Qian Ertong's guard was also terribly frightened, Zhe Li panicked for a moment, took a closer look, his face was familiar, and the mocking smile on his face made people gnash their teeth, isn't it Wan Xiang?

Sure enough, not long after, Wan Xiang floated down in front of the crowd with the white lantern in her hand: "It's so lively." She brought the lantern in front of Dr. Hong and pressed it against his face, scaring him to lie down on the ground to pray to God and worship Buddha. .

Qian Er hugged his father and gasped for breath, and the guard's pale face recovered a bit of blood, and he stretched out his hand several times before pulling Dr. Hong up from the safe ground.

"Doctor Hong, praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is useless at this time, but praying to me, a fairy, is more useful." She giggled.

Doctor Hong was still in shock, and replied with tears: "Fairy...Fairy, you can entertain the little one...the little soul has been thrown to the ground."

"Guys, what's the matter?" Lan Shushu's voice came from the vast night, and everyone turned their heads. She put on a cloak and walked from the direction of the house, beside Zhou Yuning who was carrying a lantern.

Master Qian looked at her and Zhou Yuning, and his seizures got worse. He was shaking all over, trying to retreat further away, and shouted intermittently: "It's him...it's him...help...help... "

Master Qian stared at Zhou Yuning.

"Father..." Qian Er hurriedly hugged Master Qian, with a worried expression on his face, trying to wake him up.

Contrary to Master Qian's stress, Zhou Yuning looked very calm, lifted the lantern into the air, and looked at Master Qian through the light, with clear and cold eyes, and took out a stalk of hay from his arms: "Feed it to him."

Doctor Hong took the herb, glanced at Qian Er, slowly crushed the herb in his palm, and turned his back to Zhou Yuning: "Young Master Zhou, I have never seen this herb before, what is its name?"

"Xiao Lan." Zhou Yuning replied, "Decades ago, my father accidentally found this thing in the mountains and transplanted it at home. A small amount of it can make people refreshed."

"Oh, is there such a miracle medicine?" It was more like Dr. Hong's casual remark, he carefully fed a little grass leaves to Master Qian, unexpectedly, the results were immediate, Master Qian's mood stabilized a lot, His body also gradually softened, he closed his eyes tiredly, and slowly chewed the herbs in his mouth.

"It really has a miraculous effect." Doctor Hong said happily.

Wan Xiang stood on the periphery, holding her bust as if she was watching a play, smiling inscrutablely.

Holding the lamp, Zhou Yuning took another half step closer: "As long as it works."

Zheli shrugged his nose and sniffed: "It seems to have some kind of fragrance, it smells really good."

Qian Er, Doctor Hong, and the guards also sniffed. The dense aroma made people feel comfortable, as if soaking in warm spring water, it was as relaxing and addictive.

"It's probably the scent of this bluegrass." Zhou Yuning's voice came from afar, and he looked into the night, "Qitan Village is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the folk customs are simple, much quieter than outside, why don't you stay here? "

A voice full of bewitching came to their ears from the sky, and they seemed to have received some kind of grace, and they seemed to have finally remembered the purpose of this journey, as if they had found their way back.

"Doctor Zhou is right, we should stay here." Putting his father on the ground, Qian Er stood up and said with a smile.

Doctor Hong and the guards also stood up.

"I want to stay too."

"Yeah, who wouldn't want to stay in such a paradise."
