[Sword Three] Baili Maple

"Ah Ling, Ah Ling, look!! This leaf is really red!"

The little girl from Miaojiang, who jumped in the front, started clamoring to get off the carriage as soon as she came to Fenghua Valley. Hua Ling accompanied her to abandon the carriage and walk instead, but even if she was walking, Ah Mo couldn't calm down , bouncing and bouncing all the way, the silver jewelry on her body also followed her bouncing and ding ding dong dong non-stop.

"...Well, it's really popular—"

Hua Ling took the leaf from Ah Mo's hand, held the leaf stem and looked closely, but her dark eyes were a little dazed.

——"My surname is Ye, and my single name is Maple, the maple of Maple Leaf."

——"When you see Maple Leaf again, don't be afraid."

...It seems vaguely that she can still hear that person whispering softly in her ear. Now when she sees the leaves of this color, the first thing she thinks of is not the terrible nightmare when she was a child. She is no longer afraid.

Just as she was in a daze, an apricot-yellow shadow flashed in front of her eyes, and then her hands were empty, Hua Ling raised her head in a daze, and saw Ye Feng turning the leaf and looking at it with a smile.

"Hey, you are so shameless! I gave this to Ah Ling!!"

Seeing Ye Feng's actions, Ah Mo was furious, waved the insect flute and hit the scorpion's heart. The poison was so strong that one could see the purple mist, and the weeds that came into contact withered instantly.

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, easily dodged the past, jumped behind Hua Ling, then threw the leaves in his hands behind him, clapped his hands and said, "Young master, I rely on you for food, clothing, housing and transportation all the way here. Is it possible that the two pairs of elbows you gnawed at dinner last night were no match for the rotten leaves all over the floor?"

"you!"

Ah Mo was at a loss for words, but his small face was still angry.

"Okay, Mo, it's okay, don't be angry."

Hua Ling glared at Ye Feng, then walked to Ah Mo's side to comfort him.

Ye Feng didn't care about Hua Ling's stare at all, he still laughed and said, "Speaking of Fenghua Valley, do you two little girls know why the maple leaves in Fenghua Valley are so red?"

"Isn't it the color it was originally?"

Ah Mo rolled his big eyes.

"No and no."

"...Could Brother Ye also believe the rumor that the maple leaf was stained with blood?"

Hua Ling frowned slightly.

Maple Valley is famous for its blood-red maple leaves. According to legend, the maple leaves here are so colorful because of the war that took place here many years ago. During the battle, countless disciples were killed and injured, and blood flowed like rivers, especially in the battle between the Beggars' Clan and the Tang Men Jing, who were severely injured and vitally injured. The maple leaves that were scattered were dyed red by blood at that time, which was shocking.

These rivers and lakes rumors are all known by Hua Ling from the lectures of Master Gongsheng. Although she has never witnessed the chaos, Hua Ling always feels that the scene of corpses strewn all over the field and blood flowing into rivers is not unfamiliar to her. Such a scene will appear in the eyes and mind, and the nose seems to be able to smell the disgusting smell of blood and decay, which makes people uncomfortable.

Hua Ling hates fighting, very, very much. As a doctor, she dislikes those who provoke disputes and bring death.

In addition, she has no interest in appreciating the amazing maple forest scenery in front of her, which is like red clouds all over the sky.This Fenghua Valley, no matter in the rumors of the Jianghu, or in the few memories of her childhood, seems to be inseparable from that death.

As if seeing Hua Ling's faint dislike of the rumor, Ye Feng raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, when suddenly there was a flapping sound of wings above his head.

"Oh? It's the messenger from my master's teacher."

Ye Feng jumped to catch the plump pigeon, and while stroking its feathers to comfort it, he neatly took off the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg.

Hua Ling saw that the boy who was originally smiling gradually straightened his face and frowned slightly. The guy who always looked a little frivolous and unscrupulous at first seemed to be so reliable when he was serious.

Hua Ling was thinking like this, when she saw Ye Feng put away the note and let the pigeon fly again, then seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said to Hua Ling, "Go straight along this road and cross a stone bridge After that, there is a small village called Pingding Village, my teacher needs to leave for a few days, and you two will wait for me there."

"Hidden Sword Villa?" Hua Ling was taken aback, and immediately said, "Ah Mo and I can also go to help together."

Seeing the little girl's serious expression, Ye Feng hooked the corners of his mouth and resumed his smile, "My young master is going to secretly investigate something, you two little guys with no experience in the world will only get in the way and show your whereabouts, It's better to just wait for me to come back."

"Investigate... Red Clothes Teacher?"

Hua Ling reached out in time to grab the little girl from Miao Jiang who was grinning and was about to pounce, and then asked.

Seeing that Hua Ling has always been very concerned about the Red Clothes Sect, Ye Feng paused, but still shook his head with a wry smile, "No, this young master is here to find the whereabouts of the young lady."

"Miss?" Hua Ling tilted her head slightly, and suddenly said, "Ah, is it the sixth master of Hidden Sword Villa? I remember the master once mentioned that Miss Ye's illness..."

She stopped talking halfway, the little girl realized that she shouldn't have said it, she quickly stopped and said, "Yes, I'm sorry, I made a slip of the tongue..."

Ye Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Why should I avoid this? Missy's body... If it wasn't for the owners of the villa who invited the King of Medicine and the other two doctors, how could Missy survive until now? It was only two years ago On New Year's Eve, the eldest lady ran away from home and lost track of her. The disciples of the villa have been looking for her whereabouts for two years. This time, they suddenly received news that someone in Fenghua Valley had seen a woman who looked very similar to the eldest lady, so they urgently ordered the disciples to go look for her. "

"I see……"

Hua Ling nodded, "Then Hua Ling understands, I will wait for you in Pingding Village with Ah Mo."

"This is a good obedient boy!"

Ye Feng nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing the young man's body moving slightly, it was obvious that he was preparing to raise his energy and use his lightness kung fu, Hua Ling suddenly said, "Wait—wait."

"What's the matter?"

Ye Feng raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Brother Ye, let's go...be careful, these—"

Hua Ling took out a few bottles from her body and handed them over, "Stopping powder, Changsheng powder and Qiangshen powder... are all common and you should know how to use them - I, I only carry these on me now, but it is best to Don't use it~"

Saying that, Hua Ling scratched her head in embarrassment and laughed.

Ye Feng took those delicate little porcelain bottles, put them in his arms, looked at the little girl again, chuckled lightly, and jumped away. His figure was nimble and swift, like golden light flowing.

"Look, Ah Mo, it seems that we are already at Pingding Village!"

Hua Ling saw the stone bridge from a distance. Not far behind the stone bridge was a simple gate made of wood. Behind the gate could be seen a few small thatched huts. There were five or six boys surrounding the stone bridge. , the sound of laughter came faintly, which lifted the spirits of the two little girls who hadn't seen many people along the way.

"Ah Ling, let's go quickly! I'm so hungry after walking for so long!"

Qu Mo was talking excitedly, the wind was blowing under his feet, Hua Ling only heard a ding ding dong dong, and saw that Qu Mo had rushed far away.

Hua Ling shook her head helplessly, and quickened her pace.

She had always thought that she was already very noisy in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers. The masters and brothers and sisters often looked at her helplessly and shook their heads and couldn't do anything about her, but now in Ah Mo's place, she is considered I realized the feelings of the master and brothers back then.

But thinking back carefully on the days since leaving the valley, she is really quite peaceful...

At the beginning, she was treating people in Tiandu Town, Chang'an. Even though she had the name of Wanhua's disciple, and she believed that her medical skills were in Wanhua Xinglin's lineage, it was considered good, but after all, she was too young. Xiao, as a doctor, it seems that there is no credibility, so try to be as stable and reliable as possible, and don't play around casually, so that the patient can feel a little relieved.

And then...

It was along the way that Young Master Ye Fengye always liked to tease them whenever he had nothing to do, which made Ah Mo jump frequently, and she could only care about holding Ah Mo to appease him.

In the final analysis, the reason why she didn't mess around anymore was actually because there was no one who pampered her like everyone in the Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers.

Hua Ling suddenly felt homesick, her home, the place where she has been living since as long as she can remember - Ten Thousand Flowers Valley.

Thinking of this, Hua Ling shook her head vigorously, and then patted her face with both hands vigorously, in order to dispel her redundant thoughts at the moment.

——The purpose of this trip out of the valley is to sharpen herself. If she spends her whole life in Wanhua Valley, a paradise where there is no dispute with the world, what is the use of the medical skills she has learned?

Now that she is still young, she still needs to report to her master to dispel doubts and convincing people, but Hua Ling is confident that in time, she no longer needs the title of "disciple of Xinglin sect of Wanhua Valley". Patients who come to see a doctor can no longer have doubts.

This is not Hua Ling's pursuit of fame and fortune, it's just that there have been patients who didn't believe that Xiaowa could see a doctor and would rather not let Hua Ling's diagnosis and treatment worsen. Xiaoqing Xiaobai, let him choose whether to let Ah Ling treat the illness or let the spirit snake bite a few bites and go directly to the Hades.

Although Hua Ling is grateful for Ah Mo's protection, it is really inappropriate to make such a forced diagnosis and treatment. If the patient suffers from shortness of breath, the consequences will be even more unpredictable, but... she is really helpless about this, and also has some grievances.
