"This is Yun 'Er's master, the Godly Doctor, Elder Ghost," Bai Yun explained. Yun 'er had been plagued by many illnesses since she was young. Once, she almost died unfortunately. Fortunately, her master appeared in time and cured Yun' er's strange illness. After that, Yun 'Er took Elder Ghost as her master and learned some medicine from him. His master had been in seclusion for many years and did not care about the affairs of the world. It was just that Yun 'er really couldn't do anything about Aunt Ye's illness, so Yun' er asked her father to invite her master over. Don't worry, Master's medical skills are brilliant. He will definitely be able to cure Auntie Ye.”
Bai Yun's words gave the Ye family hope. Ye Wenxuan cupped his hands in thanks.
Elder Ghost took Mrs. Ye's pulse and asked everyone about the progress of her illness. He then listed out a large prescription. Many herbs could be bought in ordinary drugstores, but there was one herb that made everyone worried.
"Soul Returning Grass?" Ye Wenxuan asked as he took the prescription. What is this?"
Elder Ghost sat down on the chair beside him, picked up a cup of tea on the table, and took a sip."The Soul Returning Grass is a rare medicinal herb. It grows on cliffs in a humid climate. Because of the special environment, this medicinal herb is not easy to find. However, this was the most crucial ingredient. Without this ingredient, this prescription would be nothing more than a piece of waste paper.”
"Senior Ghost Elder, can you tell Wen Xuan where to find the Soul Returning Grass?”
"Three hundred miles away from Liuyun Town, there is a mountain. Because the mountain is covered with cuckoos all year round, it is called the Cuckoo Mountain. There are many craggy rocks and cliffs in the mountains. You can try there.”
When Bai Yun heard that it was Du Jiashan, she said worriedly,"Master, are there any other places? Everyone stayed far away from the Duya Mountain, which was thousands of miles away. Even if they went in and found the Resurrection Grass, they might not be able to come out!”
"This is the only way to save First Madam. There's another medicine on Duya Mountain, the Azalea Root. First Madam's illness can't be delayed any longer. Before we find the Soul-destroying Grass, I can only extend First Madam's life for half a month. Once half a month is up, if we still don't have the Soul-returning Grass and Azalea Root, then First Madam…"
"There's no time to lose. I'll bring my men and set off immediately. I hope the ghost old can extend my mother's life, WenXuan set in half a month to find the soul grass and azalea root.”
"Wen Xuan!" Seeing that he was about to take the risk, Bai Yun immediately pulled him back.
"Yun 'Er, thank you for inviting Elder Ghost! But please don't do this. For my mother, I have to go!”
She let go of his sleeve." Okay, I'll wait for you to come back. You must come back safely."”
Ye Wenxuan brought 20 servants and set off in the direction of Duyi Mountain.
Ducha Mountain was famous for its cuckoos, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants grew in the forest. It was mysterious and strange because of its jagged rocks, strange peaks and strange stones, and the dense fog all year round.
Ye Wenxuan led everyone into the mountain and had people leave marks along the way. Because there was no ready-made road, they could only carefully explore forward. However, after a few days, they still did not find the Resurrection Grass. The half-month deadline was getting closer and closer. Ye Wenxuan decided to let everyone split up to search. However, because the forest was too big, he decided to narrow the area and set up camp in a slightly flat area. He let the servants split into several small teams to search. This way, as long as they did not go too far, they would not get lost.
He took two people in another direction, but they still accidentally walked away halfway. He slowly tried to move forward, surrounded by thorns. It was midsummer, and the sun was shining brightly. Even in the dense forest, the unbearable heat still made Ye Wenxuan anxious. In addition, the half-month period was getting closer and closer, and his worry for his mother became stronger. He was a little exhausted and collapsed in the bushes.
Ye Wenxuan woke up in a small wooden house at night. He looked around at the simple furnishings and couldn't help but suspect that he was dreaming. At this moment, the door opened. A girl in extremely simple clothes came in with a glass of water. She smiled when she saw him sitting on the bed. She put the water on the table and walked to his bed. She looked at him curiously and said,"You're fine. You're probably too tired. You've slept for so long, so you're much better now!”
Ye Wenxuan still didn't understand the situation. He was clearly at Duya Mountain, so why was he in someone else's house now? He looked around again, then looked at the strange girl who had been staring at him. He pinched his arm, and the pain instantly came. He wasn't dreaming, but what was going on?
The girl smiled and said," You weren't dreaming. You fainted. I was the one who dragged you back. You're so heavy!" I dragged it out for a long time!"
Hearing her words, Ye Wenxuan felt even more strange. The girl in front of him was clearly a thin and weak little girl. How could she have dragged him back from such a large forest? "Thank you for saving me, Miss!" he said tentatively. May I ask where I am?”
The girl blinked her big bright eyes and said,""You don't remember? This is Mount Duya!"
Ye Wenxuan was shocked and asked in disbelief,""Is this Duya Mountain?"
"Yeah, didn't you know when you came?”
"I, I know, but…"
"But you are lost."
"Young Lady, how do you know that I am lost?”
"It's not strange. Many people get lost in this forest. It's just that I've never met anyone before. You're the first person I've met who has lost her way. Oh, right, you must be thirsty now. I'll get you some water.”
Ye Wenxuan was full of questions about this strange girl, but he couldn't ask her rashly, afraid that his question would offend her. He followed the girl out of the house. The bright light of the cold moon shone through the swaying branches and leaves in the wind, sprinkling white on the ground. Stars filled the sky, shining brightly in the dark sky. Ye Wenxuan had never seen such a beautiful starry sky, and there was a girl squatting under the starry sky and seriously feeding two rabbits.
"Miss, please forgive me for being presumptuous, but may I ask why you live alone in this mountain forest?”
The girl stood up and looked at the elegant and polite him in front of her. She smiled and said,"I forgot to tell you, my name is not Miss, my name is Xin 'er!”
"Xin 'er? Good name, Miss Xin 'er, I…"
"I've already said that I'm called Xin 'er, not Young Lady, nor Young Lady Xin' er.”
It was rare to see such an unreserved lady. Ye Wenxuan could not help but laugh heartily." Hahaha, good, Xin 'er!”
"What about you? What's your name?”
"I'm…Ye Wenxuan. Nice to meet you, Xin 'er.”
"Ye Wenxuan? I'll just call you Brother Ye. I'm also very happy to meet you. You don't know, but ever since grandpa passed away, there's no one else in the entire forest except for me. I can only talk to small animals every day. But now, with you accompanying me, I don't have to go out anymore.”
"Xin 'er, can you tell me the story of you and Du Jiashan?”
"Sure, I love telling stories. Grandpa used to love telling stories to me, but not long ago, he passed away. Grandpa said that he picked me up near the forest in Duyi Mountain. At that time, I fell asleep in the forest like you. I was still young at that time, so Grandpa brought me home and raised me…"
That night, the wind was clear and the moon was bright. Xin 'er's story went from the beginning of the month to the day when the sky gradually turned white. They sat like this for the entire night without feeling sleepy at all. Ye Wenxuan was attracted by this girl who had grown up in the deep mountains and exuded spiritual energy. He had never thought that he would meet such an innocent girl on this trip to Duya Mountain.
Before Xin 'er's grandfather died, he had asked Xin' er to live in Driftcloud Town. Although people in the mortal world were evil, Xin 'er could not live in the mountains forever and be lonely like him.
Therefore, Ye Wenxuan decided to bring Xin 'er back to Driftcloud Town. When he made this decision, he didn't think much about how he felt about her, nor did he think about whether it was right or wrong to bring her back.
There were many things that could not be predicted in the future, just like how Ye Wenxuan could not know that his decision to bring Xin 'er back was the beginning of a tragedy.
With Xin 'er's help, Ye Wenxuan found the Soul Returning Grass. According to Elder Ghost's instructions, he was still missing a Azalea Root. This was also what Ye Wenxuan found strange. They had been in the mountains for a few days, but they had not seen any azalea. Ye Wenxuan had no choice but to ask Xin 'er for help again. However, Xin' er's face was filled with difficulty because she had grown up here since she was young. She had an incomprehensible feeling for the azalea that bloomed every year. If the flower lost its roots, it would completely lose its life. More importantly, the number of cuckoos on Duya Mountain was decreasing year by year for some reason.
However, when she found out that Ye Wenxuan was using the azalea root to save her dying mother, she still decided to take Ye Wenxuan to a place where azalea grew. It was a fairyland, surrounded by towering trees and low hills. Red cuckoos were blooming in full swing, and under the summer afternoon sun, they were even more energetic. The butterflies and birds in the mountains were not afraid of the heat. They chased each other freely among the flowers, dancing and singing to their hearts 'content. It was very happy.
Ye Wenxuan was shocked by the scene in front of him. Xin 'er ran to the flowers and reached out to catch a pink butterfly. After whispering to it for a while, the pink butterfly flew away. Ye Wenxuan stared blankly at the innocent girl in the sea of flowers. A strange feeling rose in his heart. He really couldn't bear to destroy such a beautiful scenery.
"Xin 'er, you can talk to butterflies? Can it understand?"
Xin 'er nodded seriously. She looked at the butterflies that were gradually leaving and said,"They are my good friends, of course they can understand what I am saying.”
"Then what did you say to it?"
"I said, I want to borrow this place for a while, hoping they can play elsewhere first. When I'm done, I'll return it to them.”
Xin 'er's answer made Ye Wenxuan feel amused. It was just going to the azalea root. Was there a need to discuss it with those little things? However, what Xin 'er said next made him feel ashamed.
"Their presence doesn't affect us from taking the azalea root.”
