[Sword Three] Mountain Ghost Ballad

In an ordinary thatched hut in Daoxiang Village, Wanhua disciple Zi Qing was holding a cut bandage and ointment, and was gently dressing Miao's wound.

Miao sat on the edge of the bed obediently, with bandages wrapped around her forehead and arms, and her eyes were a little dull.

Mo Yu was also sitting next to her.His condition is not much better than Miao's. When he was rescued, he had several wounds on his body, but for some unknown reason, the wounds on his body healed very quickly, so the current appearance looks much better than Miao's. .

The bandage on Miao's forehead has been re-wrapped, and at this time Ziqing is taking off the bandage on her left arm, probably because she touched the wound somewhere, the bandage on her left arm is already a little bloody.

Ziqing untied the last bandage, looked up and saw that the wound had opened again.Without hesitation at the moment, he directly cleaned Miao's wound with clean water, wiped away the dirty blood around it, and a small golden black bird was revealed.

Ziqing knew that the little girl had a tattoo on her left arm as early as the day when Miao was sent to the hospital for treatment. This tattoo is so special.

On the inner side of the little girl's white and tender arm like a lotus root, there is a tattoo of a golden black bird the size of an index finger. I don't know what kind of tattoo was used to tattoo it, but there is a faint golden streamer, which is lifelike.The shape of the Xuanniao is very strange, it looks like a Luan, but it has three legs. Could it be the legendary three-legged Golden Crow?

Zi Qing secretly looked at the golden-patterned black bird, but she didn't stop the movement of her hands, and gently applied the ointment to the wound.The wound on Miao's left arm was very large, and a piece of flesh was even scraped off in some places. It is said that it was scratched by a solid rock when she fell down the waterfall.

Fortunately, the medicine that Ziqing brought from Ten Thousand Flowers Valley was very effective. Although some deep wounds were still not healed, new flesh had slowly grown from the place where the flesh was scraped off, and the place where new flesh grew was just This black bird tattoo on the head.

Originally, Miao's left arm was slightly wounded, but when Ziqing discovered the tattoo, she didn't recognize what it was, because Xuanniao's head was covered by the wound and part of it was missing.

But unexpectedly, with the growth of new flesh, the tattoo was as if engraved in the blood of the bones, and the original lines were restored, revealing the whole picture of the black bird. This made Ziqing very surprised. I am afraid that his life experience is not simple, if he returns to the valley in another day, he will inevitably have to ask the well-informed Dongfang Valley Master.

Ziqing has practiced medicine for many years with superb medical skills. After applying the ointment to Miao, she quickly tied the bandage and asked her not to touch the water on her left arm for the next few days. Then she showed a gentle smile and took out two small packets from the medicine box. Candied fruit, shaking in front of Miao's eyes: "Come on, this reward is for A Miao, it must be very uncomfortable when the wound heals these days..."

As he spoke, he handed a small bag of candied fruit to Miao, and another bag of bigger candied fruit to Mo Yu who had been silent all this time, "Come on, this is Xiao Yu's, you can eat it with Mao Mao Xiaobai and the others when you get back. "

"Thank you sister Ziqing..."

Miao obediently nodded her thanks, and from the corner of her eye she glanced at Ziqing's medicine box in confusion, wondering that Ziqing's medicine box looked small, but it seemed to be filled with a lot of things. He took out a small kitchen knife... I don't see her cooking, and I don't know what it is for.

Mo Yu didn't have any thoughts about Ziqing's medicine box. As for candied fruit, although he didn't like to eat too sweet things, Maomao and Xiaobai liked them very much, so he reached out and took the candied fruit, and said in a low voice: Thank you.

Turning around, she saw that Miao had already adjusted her sleeves and jumped off the bed. Just as Mo Yu was about to ask Ziqing if she could leave, Qiu Yeqing opened the curtain and walked in: "Miss Ziqing, is Ah Miao's injury better?" I don't know, where is the wound on her forehead..." Qiu Yeqing hesitated to speak, but because of Yu Miao's presence, she didn't say the whole thing.

Ziqing understood what she meant, and nodded with a smile: "A Miao is very good, she did everything I told her, the wounds have not deteriorated, some have almost healed, and the wound on the forehead is also guaranteed not to leave a trace .”

After hearing this, Qiu Yeqing showed a reassuring look on his face, and said with a sigh of relief: "That's really great. A few days ago, I saw that the wound was so deep, and I was worried that it would leave a scar..."

"Ha... Don't worry, wait until the wound heals, and she will be a beautiful little girl again." Ziqing said and winked at Miao, making her smile back at Ziqing.

"Sister Ziqing, sister Qiu, can we go out to play? The room is so boring..."

Miao winked at Mo Yu who was next to him, and Mo Yu would also look up at Zi Qing with satisfaction. After getting the consent, the two left the room one after the other, leaving Qiu Yeqing in the room looking at their backs. Thoughtful.

Zi Qing on the side naturally noticed that something was wrong with Qiu Yeqing, but she didn't show it on her face, she still had a gentle smile on her face. After Qiu Yeqing apologized and asked to go to Li Fu, she sent her off calmly. When I went outside, I thought about it in my heart.

It seems that since the accidents of the children that day, Qiu Yeqing has become more concerned about Mo Yu and Miao, and his expression often becomes very strange.

According to some villagers, when Xiao He, Miao and Mo Yu fell off the waterfall, Qiu Yeqing stayed under the big tree below the waterfall, and she was the first to discover the three who fell, but when asked about the situation at that time, She kept shaking her head and said she didn't know.Looking at his expression, it doesn't look like he doesn't know anything.

Thinking of Xiaohe, Ziqing's heart became a little heavy.

That day, Xiao He was sent to her together with Miao and Mo Yu. All three of them fell off the waterfall, but Xiao He was the most injured. After a whole day of rescue, he stopped breathing in her hands.

Ziqing took a deep breath, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Although when he first joined the master's school, the master taught him that a doctor should do his best to save the dying and heal the wounded, but he should not be too attached to life and death.Physicians are not gods, no matter how superb the medical skills are, sometimes they cannot save a life, not to mention the resurrection of the dead.

But watching Xiao He's young body gradually lose its breath in his hands, the life that was still alive one moment, fell into dead silence forever in the next second.It was not the first time Ziqing faced the disappearance of her life, but every time she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Just like Master said, only when we clearly know that life is irretrievable can we cherish life even more.

It's a pity that in this rivers and lakes, not many people have really understood this truth...

----------------------

Here, after Mo Yu and Miao left Ziqing's residence, they sneaked around the villagers in the village.As soon as they ran out of the village, the two trotted all the way to the hero's tomb deep in the Daoshan wild forest. Mao Mao and Xiao Bai had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing the two people who finally appeared, Mao Mao showed a happy smile on his face, and Xiao Bai, who was sitting on the rock, immediately jumped up, waved at them and said, "You guys are here, come quickly, Mao Mao and I have found a place!"

Hearing this, Mo Yu and Miao approached, and followed Xiaobai and Mao Mao to the place where the sacrificial offerings were placed in the hero's tomb. Xiaobai stopped at one place, drew a small circle with his feet, and said in a low voice, "This is the place." , but it was buried a little deep, and the soil was covered for too long, which made the soil layer a bit hard, so we had to dig it together.”

"Use these stones, Xiaobai and I found them, it will be easier to dig..." Under the influence of Xiaobai, Maomao spoke in a low voice, and distributed the stones to Mo Yu and Miao casually.

No more nonsense, the four of them gathered around a place, squatted down and started digging.After a while, a cloth-like thing appeared in the soil. When I pulled it out, it turned out to be a small burden.

"That's right, it should be it. I heard my grandfather mentioned it once when he was drunk..." Xiaobai patted the dirt on the burden, and untied the burden in two or three. There was only a book inside, which read Kong Mingjue.

"What's the word on it, what's empty...?"

Xiaobai is usually playful and doesn't know much. Except for the first blank character, he doesn't know the rest. Maomao also looked at the book with a blank face. He is younger than Xiaobai, and he can read more characters than Xiaobai. few.

Not to mention Miao, she has just finished studying the "Three Character Classic" with the teacher in the village, and is currently recognizing "Thousand Character Classic". Although Ziqing also teaches her to read from time to time, at this time she can only recognize "" I don't know what the third word is, and I don't know what this booklet is for.

In the end, Mo Yu was the most mischievous in the eyes of his elders. Before he came to Daoxiang Village, he was taught a lot of characters at home. After he came to Daoxiang Village, he didn't stop learning. Instead, he became the most literate among the four children.He flipped through the book and glanced at a few pages, and decided that this should be a secret book for teaching people to learn martial arts.

"What are martial arts cheats...?" Maomao was still at a loss, Miao was in a daze, but Xiaobai was a little excited.

"Well, is it just the cheats that heroes use to practice martial arts?" Xiaobai often listened to the stories told by the young people in the village, and knew that some heroes and heroes had very powerful martial arts. When Mo Yu said it was A book of martial arts, his eyes lit up immediately, and he suggested: "Why don't we practice it too, maybe we can become very powerful after practicing, not only don't have to be afraid of those bandits anymore, but also can avenge Xiao He !"

That's right, since Mo Yu, Xiao He and Miao were rescued back to the village that day, the villagers found the bodies of two bandits upstream of the waterfall. Mo Yu also said that the two men were indeed chasing him and Xiao He. put.So most of the villagers concluded that the three of Xiao He must have been pushed down the waterfall by the two bandits, and all the children in the village knew from their elders that Xiao He was killed by the bandits.

Although the scene of the two bandits' dead bodies was indeed full of doubts, and some people were puzzled, but most of them were filled with indignation because of Xiao He's death, thus ignoring this detail.

"No, this thing is the culprit who killed Xiao He, we have to find a place to hide it, so that those bandits can't find it..." Mo Yu frowned and rejected Xiao Bai's proposal.

The family he was born in was not an ordinary family. Although he was still young when he left home, he still remembered a lot of things. Be coveted.

So when suspicious people and bandits mentioned Kong Ming Jue, Mo Yu guessed that the disaster in the village might have been caused by this Kong Ming Jue, so after Xiao He died, he secretly returned to Xiao Bai. After discussing with Mao Mao, he must find this Kong Mingjue and hide it so that those bad guys can't find it.

As for why he was called Shang Miao, Mo Yu himself didn't know.

He and Miao have never interacted much, and they don't usually play together very much. The impression of her is only that she doesn't like to talk—except when facing Xiao He, she can laugh—and her expression is as stiff as a stone at other times. superior.Although Miao's attitude towards him is quite normal compared to other children who are afraid of him, she is not as close to him as Mao Mao Xiaohe and the others.

It should be said that Miao is the same as him in this aspect, except for a few specific people, she is not very close to everyone else, but Mao Mao and Xiao He like her very much.

But what changed Mo Yu's understanding of Miao was the day they fell into the waterfall with Xiao He.

He was actually not very clear about what happened that day. He only remembered that he had a severe headache at the time, and when his consciousness was blurred, he was brought back to his senses by a biting cold breath, and then he smelled a strong smell of blood.

When he came back to his senses, he found that he was holding Miao's left arm tightly, pressing her whole body to the ground.And Miao's arm held by him was already bloody and bloody, her forehead was bleeding continuously, and her lips, which were obviously sore, kept trembling, but she still held his wrist tightly with her right hand, a cold inner feeling The energy was continuously transmitted to his body, gradually cooling down the restless aura in his body.

Mo Yu was frightened by Miao's miserable appearance at the time. He knew that he would go crazy, and when he went mad, he would hurt the people around him, but every time he woke up, the people around him were either dead or Just run away.As for those who are relatively close, he would stay away from them when he had an attack, or forcibly suppress the poison in his body.

This time, it was the first time he faced himself for hurting his companion.

Panic, sadness, even self-loathing.Mo Yu only remembered that he was overwhelmed by all kinds of negative emotions at that time, but he didn't remain depressed for too long, because what happened next made him fall into another kind of despair.

Xiao He died.

He was kicked severely in the head by a man who got up from the ground and fell down the waterfall to his death.

Almost the moment Xiao He fell, Miao cried out in his ears, but in the blink of an eye, she had already jumped down with Xiao He's falling body, and he subconsciously stretched out his hand to hold her , but they were swept down together because of the force of the fall.

Later, they fell into a coma and were rescued back to the village. He and Miao's injuries gradually healed, but Xiao He closed his eyes forever.

Mo Yu thought angrily afterwards, if it wasn't for Kong Mingjue, how could these bandits have surrounded Daoxiang Village, and how could Xiao He have died... If this is the case, let's get rid of the root cause of this disaster.

Hearing what Mo Yu said, Xiaobai here also remembered Xiaohe's death, and suddenly became a little sad, nodded and said, "Well, we'll just hide it, but... where should we hide it?"

"Well... how about the grass in the village?" Maomao suggested, but Xiaobai immediately rejected it.

"Grandma Wang's chickens like to run around, and they like to burrow into the grass. If they hide there, what if they are discovered one day!"

"Then hide it in the village chief's grandfather's house?" Mo Yu also suggested, but Xiao Bai vetoed it.

"Grandpa is always forgetting things recently, so he often looks around in the house. If he finds out, we will be miserable!"

"Yes!" Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he said confidently, "I know a good place, it must be no problem to hide there!"

"Where is it?" Maomao asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, Xiaobai picked up the bag and laughed, "This is a secret, I'll go and hide this right away, and you guys will come to the village to find me later."

In order not to be discovered, the other three nodded in agreement, and watched Xiao Bai trot along the road back to the village, slowly disappearing.

"Brother Xiaoyu, what should we do now?"

Maomao was still young and didn't quite understand the whole thing. At this time, he took a look at Mo Yu, then at Miao who had been silent by the side, and finally turned his eyes back to Mo Yu.

"us--"

"Hey, brother, I found it! Tang Jian's tomb is here—!"

Mo Yu's voice was interrupted by a sudden roar, and the hearts of the three present were all shocked.As soon as he turned around, he found four or five bandits appearing at the intersection, and those bandits had already spotted them!

The author has something to say:

Forgive me for some bugs and changes in TAT, for example, Xiaobai is actually not the grandson of the village chief but his son ==, the author is not sure if Xiaohe really died in the original book, but he really died here.
