Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 25 Mandrill
Lu's two mouthfuls of blood were not spit out in vain.
The next morning, the little girl found him and he was so scared that he burst into tears.

He just stayed around his mother and wouldn't leave no matter what.

Coincidentally, the old man came to visit early in the morning and was frightened when he saw the bloodstains on the ground.

He asked about Lu's health and called the only local doctor in the village.

The doctor was an expert. He took Lu's pulse for a long time and finally diagnosed that she had a cold.

I wrote eight pages in total, and finally Xu Zhiqiu took a look at it... and prescribed a medicine to protect the uterus and stabilize the pregnancy.

The old village head then asked the girl from the Lu family to boil the medicine.

Xu Zhiqiu was standing nearby, feeling speechless and helpless.

He wanted to prescribe a new prescription, but Old Deng didn't believe him at all and kept him away.

"..."

Fortunately, the true energy that Xu Zhiqiu lost for the Lu family last night was not wasted.

At least her lesion was stabilized.

But he also knew that Lu's illness was caused by the failure of the five internal organs due to heart damage and mental fatigue, and it would be extremely difficult to treat.

She was like a leaky bucket, and ordinary medicine could no longer save her.

perhaps……

He thought of the monkey wine on Daling Mountain.

It might be worth a try as a medicine.

After drinking the pregnancy-preserving medicine, Mrs. Lu half-leaned on the couch, and the maid from the Lu family leaned on her knees with sparkling eyes.

"Mom, don't scare me. Xueqi is so scared."

Lu stroked her braids with a gentle look on her face.
"Don't be afraid, Mom will be fine. Otherwise, who will take care of Xueqi?"

The little girl was frightened and wanted to cry but didn't dare to.

I was afraid that my mother would be infected by her and end up sad, which would be detrimental to her health.

So, she could only pretend to be happy while crying.

But some people are very short-sighted and cannot bear to see this scene.

……

At three o'clock in the night,

The crescent moon cast a thin layer of silver sand, barely enough for people to see.

Xu Zhiqiu, who had just taken a nap, was full of energy. He straightened his clothes, hung an empty gourd around his waist, and prepared to go out.

But just as he walked out of the west wing, he saw Lu stumbling out.

"Xue...Xueqi is missing!"

She looked panic-stricken, as if the sky had fallen.

"She was sleeping next to me just now, but when I woke up I couldn't find her."

"Did she say anything?"

Lu thought about it and nodded suddenly:

"This kid said something stupid during the day, saying he wanted to give me half of his life span, but I scolded him!"

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Xu Zhiqiu stroked his chin and had an idea.

At the foot of Daling Mountain,

The mist still lingered, stirring up the already hazy night.

A thin figure squeezed out of the fog from the origin of the ancient stone steps.

He tiptoed, looking left and right, as if he was guarding against a ghost patting his shoulder in the middle of the night.

The little girl is most afraid of three things: thunder, darkness and heavy fog.

It took two tonight, but she still came.

She groped for her direction in the darkness and moved slowly forward.

She quickly touched the edge of the altar, which made her feel certain. After a while, she finally found the location of the mountain god statue.

This was not the first time she had seen this ugly mountain god statue, but the previous times she had come here in broad daylight with all the villagers.

It was a dark night with rolling fog all around, and given the harsh environment, I couldn't help feeling scared.

She imitated the actions of the villagers she remembered, knelt down on her knees, and kowtowed three times and nine times to the mountain god.

Then put your palms together, close your eyes, and say a prayer.

She expressed her willingness to give half of her life to her mother so that she could recover.

The little girl recited it over and over again with a sincere attitude.

Trying to impress God in this clumsy but sincere way.

The routine is correct, after all, it is played out this way in vernacular novels. However,

"Xixissuosuo..."

A slight strange sound rang in her ears, and the little girl looked up in confusion.

Behind the bronze law, a faint light was appearing in the eyes of the mountain god statue.

Her eyes widened, then she clenched her fists excitedly.

The mountain god appeared!
All around, thin mist gathered unknowingly, blurring the half-body of the mountain god statue.

The mist gathered more and more, and became thicker and thicker.

Slowly, it swallowed up the bronze bill and her small body.

The little girl looked at the increasingly blurry surroundings. She was confused at first, and then she shivered for no reason.

I don't know why, but my back feels so cold.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and looked forward. Her dark and pure pupils were visibly covered with a layer of gray haze.

The little girl opened her mouth, uttered half a syllable, and then fell silent.

I can only see the front.

The mountain god came back to life, he walked down the pedestal, stepped over the bill, and stretched out his hand towards himself.

"Come #￥%..."

An indistinguishable voice lingers in my ears and cannot be shaken off.

The voice seemed to be calling her to come over.

An idea flashed through the little girl's mind.

The mountain god has appeared!

Does he want to see himself?

In this way, maybe I can help my mother...

There is three parts fear and seven parts anxiety in my heart.

She hesitated, then reached forward.

"Bah!"

The shout from behind was, after all, a little too late.

She felt rough, as rough as if her hand was cut.

I can't help wondering,

So, is this what the mountain god's hands look like? They are a hundred times rougher than the village head's hands, and they are hairy, not like human hands anyway...

Suddenly, she felt a stinging pain on the back of her hand, as if it had been scratched by sharp nails.

When the haze covering her eyes dissipated, she was surprised to find that the statue of the mountain god was placed alone behind the bill and had not moved at all.

So who is holding her hand at this moment?

As the thick fog rolled in, the monster that was already close at hand suddenly revealed its true appearance.

Looking up, I saw that the monster was very tall, almost eight feet tall.

His hands hung below his knees and his body was covered with long brown hair.

He had a long, protruding face, most of which was occupied by a nose with a protruding nostril.

The brown eyeballs are bulging and four sharp teeth protrude from the lips like sharp knives.

"It" seemed to be laughing, making a low growl.

A stream of fishy-smelling saliva dripped onto the ground.

The little girl was frightened.

She let the monster hang her upside down by her feet, like an adult holding a kitten.

The scene before my eyes changes rapidly.
It was the monster that was carrying her and moving quickly.

Towards the mountain.

She only had time to yell out in a daze:
"mother."

"snort--!"

With a blast of air, the forest barrier was broken, and all the grass, trees, bamboo and rocks around it were bent down.

The monster had long arms and legs, and when it sensed the movement, it immediately pulled its body's center of gravity and successfully dodged backwards.

But the momentum of going up the mountain suddenly stopped.

The monster turned around, his eyes glowing cold green.
Together with the prey in its hands, it looked towards the figure.

Xu Zhiqiu held the hatchet at his waist with his right hand and silently looked at the monster in front of him.

"Mandrill?"
