Hunting Heart Little Mengxian: Rebirth and Raising a Wolf

Chapter 17 Should I be responsible for him?

Under the bright and dazzling snow-white sunshine, the slender figure wearing a men's gray monk's robe was squatting on the stone steps outside the main door of the dilapidated temple, hugging his knees.

It can be seen that only this posture can temporarily protect her thin body from the cold wind; however, her back is still shivering.

The "Wolf Boy" carefully moved his gaze out of the crack in the door that constantly leaked cold air into the room, and looked over her shoulder from behind her.

He suddenly discovered that in front of the little nun, there was a temporary stove built with gravel blocks. The small flame under the stove was burning brightly.

A broken earthen pot of just the right depth was supported on the stove. It was steaming hot. The open mouth of the earthen pot was tumbling with some soup that he couldn't tell what ingredients it contained.

However, just by the bursts of fragrant smell coming out of the boil, it makes people feel very appetizing.

At this moment, I saw the back of the little girl in slender gray robe in front of me, stretching out her small white hands, but she seemed to be groping for something in mid-air.

"Ouch..."

As soon as he touched the edge of the hot earthen pot, Jiu Xiaohan quickly retracted his hands and placed them on his earlobes.

Across the door, looking at Jiu Xiaohan with his back to him outside, the "wolf boy" almost couldn't help but laugh out loud, laughing at her secretly in his heart:

"This cute and cute little nun is really stupid! Don't you know that the thing on the fire will burn your hands?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Did I scare you just now?"

Moreover, it is not just the ordinary "pain", but the familiar "pain" that pierces the heart and is carved into the bone marrow!

This kind of heartache reminded him again of the nightmare of the bloody blue branch flower falling into the Forgotten River;

"Adding it can temporarily help you suppress the poisonous energy and blood in your body, and it can also help you reduce the time between the recurrence of madness symptoms!"

At this moment, "Wolf Boy" was stunned in surprise.

After less than a while, she nodded slightly:

"That is……?"

Her eyes may not be suffering from any serious disease, but, at first glance, they look a little different from ordinary people.

who is he?

Even he himself is haunted by demonic aura from time to time; and, on every anniversary of the moon's death, he will show his fangs and grow wolf toes.

It seems like his words are saying: Girl, it's 80% likely that the small paper bag you are holding in your palm is what's inside, is it more likely to be some kind of poison?

At this time, the "Wolf Boy"'s eyes noticed Jiu Xiaohan's palms placed in front of his eyes.

"Is there...really medicine in this?"

"Stop! Don't move! Leave it alone, I'll do it!"

Around the burnt hole, there were still wet traces left after the snow melted in the fire. She said:

"Just...thank you!"

But, just, he couldn't tell the reason. She would make him feel very distressed...

Although, her voice was so pleasant, it was so pleasant that "Wolf Boy" would rather let the suffocation in his heart suffocate him than have the heart to lose his temper with her anymore.

After all, the current relationship between the two of them is, at best, just that of strangers in need who once lived and died together in a wolf cave, but were strangers to each other.

"It's almost time. It should be stewed by now! It's about 2:00 noon. It's just right. I think I'll put out a little bit first and have a taste."

Seeing this heartless silly girl who kept smiling sweetly at him, looking like she didn't care about her sleeves and arms that were almost burned, and was still concerned about his condition, I don't know why, suddenly,

There was an unknown fire that surged into the young man's heart, which was both new and old.

"This medicine is specially prepared for you to take."

This time, "Wolf Boy" spoke concisely and concisely, and the eight words he said made Jiu Xiaohan sound like a very gentle command.

The young man suddenly understood.

Immediately, she turned her face slightly, symbolically facing the direction of the "Wolf Boy" on the side, and smiled lightly and sweetly.

Jiu Xiaohan always smiled, sweet and beautiful, and replied to him:

"My eyes, it's just that I can't see the sun during the day, or the flames and bright lights that are too dazzling."

"Wolf Boy" recalled some situations at that time when his consciousness was somewhat fragmented, while holding the broken porcelain bowl with one hand, and the other hand picked up the old spoon with a broken handle.

So, she quickly stretched out a small hand and pulled out a pure white ribbon embroidered with the word "nine" from the inner pocket of her Taoist robe.

This silly girl, what kind of random and strange thoughts does she have in her head?

Immediately afterwards, she put it on her eyes very skillfully, and her gentle voice that made him feel refreshed sounded again. She asked the young man behind her:

However, he still couldn't hold back and asked her casually:

"You're already burning your sleeves, but you can still laugh?! Are you blind?"

"Impossible! Hum, absolutely impossible..."

Jiu Xiaohan casually responded to his "yes", just like his own extremely sharp elbow dagger, which stabbed the "wolf boy" in the heart so abruptly.

Several blisters of different sizes had appeared on her fingers.

In addition, he also mentioned that even her master also made fun of her:

"Oh, Wuweizi is such a shrewd and calculating Taoist!"

How could this scare him?

However, she knew very well:

Did she...just answer "yes"???

Across the layer of thick white ribbon, Jiu Xiaohan apologized sincerely, subconsciously touched his eyes with his hands, and slowly explained word by word:

"I usually bring it with me at this time. However, just now, firstly, you were so seriously injured, I really didn't expect you to wake up so early; secondly, I was in a hurry to give it to you for a while.

I forgot to bring it..."

I saw him clumsily filling the soup from the boiling broken earthen pot bit by bit, and ladling little spoonfuls into the broken porcelain bowl with several small cracks.

Hearing the slight guilt hidden in the other person's tone, Jiu Xiaohan touched the white ribbon in front of him again and quickly comforted him:

"Ah? The medicine you gave me? What is it?"

Also, under the combined stimulation of the white snow on the ground and the strong light of the midday sun, her gray eyes had changed from weak vision to temporarily blind, with no pupils...

As soon as he heard her say this, "Wolf Boy" suddenly became vigilant subconsciously. His eyebrows narrowed slightly, his forehead slowly furrowed, he stared at her extremely beautiful face and asked lightly:

"You...how did you know what kind of poison was in my body?"

"If the light is too strong, I won't be able to see anything. Of course, it won't work in the snow, as I will suffer from blindness!"

Immediately, his entire body, from the highest hair on his head to all his fingers and toes, felt as if silver water had been poured into his body. He was so heavy that he could not move and froze in place.

Jiu Xiaohan, who subconsciously let out a sigh, quickly returned to his original unfazed expression.

Um?

What??

Jiu Xiaohan seemed to be keenly aware of the subtle emotional changes revealed between the other party's hesitant breathing.

When he raised the spoon and brought the hot soup to Jiu Xiaohan's mouth, he saw her shaking her head, waving her hands and saying:

It seemed that there was a hint of grateful surprise in that smile, and her voice was as sweet as honey. It was the most beautiful thing the young man had ever heard in his seventeen years:

"Great! I didn't expect you to wake up so soon! How do you feel now?"

What's more, what right does he have to be afraid of a little girl who looks even more pitiful than himself?

However, before he could finish uttering his dark thoughts, in the blink of an eye, the "Wolf Boy" had already kicked open the broken wooden door in front of him.

Looking at the fragrant hot soup in the broken porcelain bowl, and then looking at Jiu Xiaohan, the "wolf boy" felt a little unbelievable:

"How can there be a medicinal soup that smells so delicious in this world?"

Although he had tried his best to restrain his anger, his tone still sounded very angry, and he responded in a low voice:

"Yes! Already awake!"

Jiu Xiaohan raised his chin, which was stained with two or three pieces of black pot ash, and faced his beautiful and smooth face towards the direction of the noon sun on the roof, as if he was feeling the length and temperature of time.

"Why would he break the rules he has established for so many years and be willing to accept you as his female apprentice just for a clumsy girl like you?"

Oh...that's it!

The young man stretched out an arm and stopped the back of Jiu Xiaohan's hand while saying:

"Oh! Okay! Just sit down and I'll help you!"

Hearing the young man's rather unhappy words, Jiu Xiaohan was stunned for a moment.

Next, he no longer had the angry and stern tone that he showed after just breaking out of the door and rushing to put out the fire. Instead, he changed into a soft-spoken tone.

These pair of gray, pupil-less eyes, against the flawless white skin on her face, were unusually conspicuous and eye-catching.

What he actually meant was: Could it be some kind of poisonous drug?

Sensing that the boy was hesitant, Jiu Xiaohan took out a small yellow paper bag from his cuff that had just been burned with a burnt hole, and replied in a gentle tone:

Before the sleeves of Jiu Xiaohan's Taoist robe, which he was sweeping on the floor, were burned by the ashes flying out of the fire, he quickly collected a pile of cold snow from his feet and stepped on it in time.

He helped her extinguish the small flames that almost burned her body.

This was the first time that he stared at her face so closely, and her appearance was so pleasant and beautiful...

The moment the young man raised his eyes in surprise and looked into Jiu Xiaohan's eyes...

"ah……"

"Brother, don't worry too much! I didn't lose my eyesight just now, nor am I a useless person who is totally blind!"

For a moment, the young man didn't react. He completely thought that he had misunderstood.

The moment of embarrassment and embarrassment made him not know what to say to apologize or comfort her, and he couldn't help but choked up:

"you you……"

He took a small step forward, slowly leaned down, squatted beside Jiu Xiaohan, and asked her slowly:

"Just tell me what you want to get. Also, how long will it take for you to cook something on a small fire?"

Obviously, the "wolf boy" didn't dare to say anything more to her, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally hurt this silly girl again.

No wonder, trapped in the invisible black wolf's den underground, she was not only able to accurately find the corner where he was hiding; moreover, she was also able to inflict all the wounds on his body without missing a beat.

Apply those white powders that relieve pain and stop bleeding!

Even in the cave with intertwined tunnels, this silly girl was able to struggle with the ten black wolf demons for several rounds without any effort, and finally carried him out of the cave after he fainted, allowing them to escape smoothly.

.

"yes……"

It was as if these strange eyes should not belong to her at all!

Seeing Jiu Xiaohan stretch out her palm again, she was about to fumble again for the place of the broken bowl and spoon on the ground beside her.

"You open it, use two fingertips, twist a handful out, and put it in your medicinal soup...it tastes like medicine."

Thinking about it, this silly girl must have been burned repeatedly by the flames overflowing from her homemade small stove and the edge of the hot earthen pot when she knew she couldn't see but still insisted on cooking.

Jiu Xiaohan was not really stupid. She understood clearly that the other party had some concerns about her and the paper bag that she took out that were difficult to get rid of.

Her pointed little nose subconsciously shrugged, and she followed the direction of the burning smell that floated up from her side. She searched and touched the cuff of her Taoist robe, which had a small burn hole leaking out.

He thought about it, but still felt it was necessary to add one more sentence to vent his true thoughts:

"If I don't wake up, I'm afraid you should use yourself as firewood and light it on fire, right?!"

This kind of heartache made him seem to see Lan Jingchu, who was pierced through the heart by the "Gu Zhang" sword that he held tightly, and died in despair. He had not seen him for seven lifetimes, and never said goodbye to Yin and Yang.

"Well……?"

The taste and smell of this soup is really delicious...

"On the contrary, at night, my eyesight will return to its original state, and there will be no problem at all. It will even be better than ordinary people's eyes!"

At this time, I heard Jiu Xiaohan's expression was gentle and gentle, his voice was crisp, and he said in a very warm tone:

"Don't worry! Since I rescued you from that black wolf's den, I will naturally be responsible for you to the end!"

Well?

Responsible for...?

What responsibility does she have towards him?

To what extent can she bear responsibility for him?
