Sitting on the chair obediently, quietly eating tea and snacks, Que Wuyi was probably the most well-behaved person in his life.
She had never sat or stood properly. Even when she was lying down, she could twist and turn. She rolled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, and sometimes even fell under the bed. When she ate, she would always wolf down her food. She would swallow the dates in one gulp, and she would use all her limbs. Therefore, it was the first time that she had to sit on the chair and eat obediently like this!
However, this was not what she wanted. It was really because of the diarrhea that her entire body was weak and powerless. She could not stand up and could not devour the food. She could only be a good baby and sit down to eat to replenish the strength that she had just pooped. However, that pair of big, lively eyes still glared at Chu Nanfeng unwillingly. In his heart, he had secretly invited all his ancestors, one hundred and twenty generations, to come out and greet him, as well as kick and punch him.
Hmph hmph hmph! He looked like a decent person and was prettier than a girl. She didn't expect him to be so vicious. He didn't have any sympathy at all? She almost died in the latrine pit! Bad, bad, bad, stinky, the world's worst, worst bird, the most stinky cow shit! Humph!
Chu Nanfeng seemed to understand the resentment and injustice in the little girl's heart and smiled knowingly. "Are you scolding me in your heart for being vicious and unsympathetic?”
The little girl humphed and buried her head in her food. She was prepared to finish all the food on this table that could feed ten strong men. She would eat him to death and cry. Humph! Who taught him to harm her?
Chu Nanfeng did not mind and continued,""Actually, I don't want to do this either, but who taught you to take something more precious than my life? Can you return the Nine Phoenix Ring to me now?”
"I'm not full yet. When I'm full, I'll return it to you!”
As he spoke, Que Wuyi continued to bite and chew with great effort. He chewed and chewed, swallowed and swallowed, drank and drank, and ate until his hands were wet. His face was covered in flour, sugar, rice, and even a few sesame seeds. Even his eyebrows were covered in soybean powder. It was really funny.
Chu Nanfeng quietly controlled his temper and watched the little girl eat and drink alone. After a while, she finally stopped eating and burped contentedly while holding her bloated stomach." Alright, I'm full."”
"Since you're full, can you go get your things?”
Unexpectedly, Que Wuyi shook his head." No, I'm too full. I can't stand."”
Chu Nanfeng raised his eyebrows." You what? Say it again?"
Que Wuyi had a fearless look on his face." I said I'm too full and can't stand up.”
"Is that so?" He smiled coldly and pointed at the bowl of soup on the table."Little girl, look at this.”
Que Wuyi looked over from the corner of his eyes and saw a black thing wriggling in the soup.
But no, the vegetables were dead and couldn't move around, but that thing could move…She leaned over and looked at the bowl of bamboo shoot soup that she had just drunk.
She saw it clearly, it was one! Centipede!
Que Wuyi heaved a sigh of relief." It's just a centipede. So what? I've seen bigger…centipedes?”
Que Wuyi's eyes widened, and a scream escaped her mouth. Then, she jumped up and jumped to the stairs." I, I, I…I'm most afraid of centipedes. I hate centipedes the most. I want to vomit whenever I see centipedes. I want to go to the toilet whenever I see centipedes. I…I want to go to the toilet now. Goodbye!"”
Unexpectedly, Chu Nanfeng was even faster than her. In a flash, Chu Nanfeng was already standing behind her. He grabbed her collar and said coldly,""Grandma, where are you going?”
Que Wuyi played dumb." Go…go to the toilet!”
Chu Nanfeng turned the crafty little girl around." Didn't you say that you were so full that you couldn't stand up?”
The little girl continued to play dumb." Now, you can move now, but I want to go to the toilet!”
Chu Nanfeng forced a smile." Sure, but before that, hand over the thing. Otherwise, you'll swallow the centipede on the table!"”
Que Wuyi knew that it was useless to continue acting dumb when he met an opponent. He could only say embarrassedly,"Alright, alright! But I don't have it with me now!”
"Where?"
"In the room."
Que Wuyi mumbled as she blinked her eyes at Chu Nanfeng. She realized that he was simply too good-looking at a close distance.
"You're so beautiful!" She unconsciously blurted out. Her greasy and wet hands immediately attacked Chu Nanfeng's fair and handsome face.
Chu Nanfeng had a half-smile on his face as he grabbed her clothes and wiped it on his face. "Thank you. Everyone says so."
Que Wuyi immediately cried out," Hey, hey, hey, you stinky bird! This is the only piece of clothing I can change into! Now that you dirtied it, you have to compensate me with one, otherwise I won't return the Nine Phoenix Ring to you.”
Chu Nanfeng's cold gaze swept across Que Wuyi. Que Wuyi, who originally wanted to be unreasonable and muddle through, instantly lost his imposing manner when he saw Chu Nanfeng's gaze.
"Where is your room?"
"It's the second room from the innermost," Que Wuyi whispered.”
Chu Nanfeng 'carried' Que Wuyi inside and kicked open the door.
"Where is it? Take it out!"
Que Wuyi mumbled and did not forget to bargain." I can take it out, but I have a condition. If you don't agree to my condition, then I'd rather run to the toilet two hundred times than return the Nine Phoenix Ring to you!”
Upon hearing this, Chu Nanfeng's eyes burned with rage. He grabbed her neck with one hand." You crafty and eccentric little girl, do you really think I won't dare to kill you?”
Que Wuyi's face revealed an expression of facing death as he shamelessly said,"So be it. Anyway, dying like this is better than dying in the toilet two hundred times!”
" You…" Chu Nanfeng's face was ashen with anger. He was at his wit's end when it came to this strange and shameless little girl.
"Good! Say it, no matter what the conditions are, as long as you return the Nine Phoenix Ring to me, I can agree to it!”
Joy appeared on Que Wuyi's face." Really?”
"Of course it's true!"
Que Wuyi was a little suspicious and worried." The one lying is cow poop?”
Chu Nanfeng was stunned. Cow poop? This was the first time he had heard someone use cow poop to scold someone, and it came from the mouth of a 17-year-old girl.
However, he had always been calm and collected, so he naturally wouldn't dance with this little brat Que Wuyi and belittle himself by saying that he was a cow shit.
He took a shortcut and said," The Nine Phoenix of Dunhuang has always been a man of his word. I mean what I say. If I say I agree to you, then I agree to you. There's no room for regret."”
Que Wuyi looked at him as if he was trying to figure out how sincere he was. After a while, she nodded reluctantly. "Alright, I'll take it that I'm at a disadvantage. I'll believe you.”
Chu Nanfeng almost choked. A little loss? Who was at a disadvantage? This girl really had the ability to twist right and wrong!
Que Wuyi walked up to the wall and fumbled around. He then took out a brick and a small oilcloth bag from the hole in the wall.
"The Nine Phoenix Ring is here, but you said that you have to promise me one condition.”The little girl stood far away from him, holding the Nine Phoenix Ring in her hand.
Chu Nanfeng narrowed his eyes." What condition? Tell me!"
"I hope you can treat my master, can you?”
"Cure?" Chu Nanfeng was taken aback. He clearly did not expect this to be the little girl's condition.
"That's right! "Master is sick, so I've found many doctors to treat her, but none of them were of any use. That's why I wanted to steal your Nine Phoenix Ring, because I heard that the Nine Phoenix Ring can not only cure all illnesses, but can also prolong one's life and strengthen one's body, so I…" As he finished speaking, Que Wuyi's eyes couldn't help but turn red, and his small hands tugged at the corner of his clothes, not knowing what to do.
"How did you know that I would treat people? You should know that Chu Nanfeng never treats people easily.”
At the same time, Chu Nanfeng's expression had softened considerably. The anger and sullenness in his stomach had also gradually disappeared.
Que Wuyi played with his fingers guiltily." I know! That's why I used the Nine Phoenix Ring to negotiate with you! You…Are you willing…Are you willing to treat my master?”
"That depends on what illness your master has and whether it's something I can cure.”
Que Wuyi nodded confidently." You definitely can. I heard that you're the most amazing divine doctor besides Zhu Tian and Chu Fengyi! Besides, didn't you help the Empress recover? Therefore, you can definitely cure my master's illness!”
Chu Nanfeng smiled." Huanyi is my younger sister, so it's naturally a different matter. Moreover, her illness isn't an illness. It's just a lack of recuperation. However, your master's condition is different. I have to see your master first.”
Que Wuyi rushed forward and grabbed Chu Nanfeng's hand." Yes, you can. You definitely can." Are you willing to treat my master? If you are willing, not only will I return the Nine Phoenix Ring to you, I can also promise you anything! Even if you want me to take the medicine again and go to the toilet a hundred times, I'm willing!”
Chu Nanfeng glanced at the little girl whose face was a mess, but her eyes were filled with fervent anticipation.
"Good! I promise you, I promise to treat your master!”
Que Wuyi's eyes were wide open as she stared at Chu Nanfeng. After a while, she let out a cry of joy. Her small body directly pounced into Chu Nanfeng's embrace and she stretched out her arms to hug him."Long live! Ten thousand years! I knew you would agree, I knew you would definitely agree!”
She didn't expect Chu Nanfeng to immediately run far away and avoid her little claws.
However, this caused Que Wuyi to lose his balance, and his entire body crashed into the wall, almost smashing his little nose flat. However, she did not care at all. She carelessly wiped her aching nose and happily jumped in front of Chu Nanfeng to stuff the Nine Phoenix Ring into his hands. She hurriedly said,"I'll return the Nine Phoenix Ring to you. Can we leave now?”
Chu Nanfeng shot her a glance and slowly took out the Nine Phoenix Ring from the oilcloth bag. Through the light that shone in through the window, he carefully inspected it.
Seeing him slowly inspecting the Nine Phoenix Ring, the little girl who had never had much patience, had already walked around the table no less than ten times, muttering like a cannon: "Are you done? Are you done checking? Can we set off now? I'm so worried about Master's illness. I really want to go back and see her as soon as possible. If they set off now, it would take about a month to arrive. He wondered if his master's illness would worsen in this month. Brother Chu, can you hurry up? I'm really worried about Master!"
Chu Nanfeng put away the Nine Phoenix Ring calmly and raised his head."I can't leave yet. I still have something to deal with.”
When he heard that he still couldn't leave, Que Wuyi's small face fell and he almost cried." You can't leave? When can I leave? Can you hurry up? I'm really, really worried about Master!”
Chu Nanfeng's eyes couldn't help but be touched and gentle when he saw how worried the little girl was for his master. He said gently,""Silly girl! If a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools. Although I am a doctor, I can't go empty-handed, right? What illness do you want me to treat if I go empty-handed?”
Que Wuyi was confused." What do you mean by 'if you want to fan someone, you have to first force it?' Did he mean eunuchs? Why did the eunuch use a fan? Also, also, what did he mean by doing something? Was it a competition of strength? Why are you comparing strength with the eunuch? Does this have anything to do with treating my master?”
The series of questions that seemed to be related but completely did not fit the question left Chu Nanfeng flabbergasted. He was dumbfounded on the spot. Even someone as smart as him, who was known as a genius doctor, could not understand what she was asking.
Que Wuyi tugged at his sleeve and asked very seriously,"Hey! I'm asking you! What does competing in strength with a eunuch have to do with treating my master's illness? Do you need my help? I'm very familiar with this place and know many people. If you need help, I can help! Don't look at me because I'm skinny and small. I'm very strong. I can definitely help you defeat the eunuch!”
As she spoke, she even waved her small fists and raised the chair to practice her legs, showing that she really had strength.
Chu Nanfeng slapped his forehead and almost burst out laughing. He really couldn't stand it. This girl's ability to turn right and wrong upside down was really not ordinary but extremely powerful. Even Master Kong would have to admit defeat if he saw it.
He tried hard to hold back his laughter and threw a gold ingot to the little girl." No need! No matter who competed with me in strength, they definitely wouldn't win. There's no need for a little thief like you to worry! Go and buy a set of decent clothes and dress up for yourself. I don't want to travel with an old mother-in-law who can't walk.”
Que Wuyi took the ingot but did not forget to protest,"I'm not a thief. I'm famous. My name is Que Wuyi, and the people in the martial world call me the Dragon Lady, the Little Thief God!”
Chu Nanfeng's eyes flashed mischievously." Dragon Lady? I think she's a slippery, crafty, and strange snake girl who can bite people, right?”
Que Wuyi raised his neck and clenched his little fists, trying to explain himself."It's not Snake Girl, it's Dragon Lady. Listen carefully, it's Dragon Lady! Dragon Lady!"
Chu Nanfeng tapped her slightly red and swollen nose." Snakes are originally small dragons, so there's no difference in calling you Snake Girl!”
"It's different! Of course it was different! Snakes are slimy and disgusting things that bite people. Dragons fly in the sky, can call the wind and summon the rain, and are very powerful. Therefore, I'm a dragon lady, not a snake lady. Don't get me wrong!”Que Wuyi argued.
However, Chu Nanfeng was right. In the beginning, others had indeed called Que Wuyi a crafty and eccentric little snake girl. After all, who would be like her, with a head full of strange ideas? In order to steal the Nine Phoenix Ring, she had actually disguised herself as a beggar for three months and even called others 'mother' a few hundred times? However, the little girl felt that it did not sound good, so she secretly changed it to Dragon Lady.
Chu Nanfeng smiled confidently." It doesn't matter if you're a dragon lady or a little snake lady. In any case, go and change into a decent set of clothes. Then, prepare the rations you'll bring. We'll set off in the afternoon, okay?”
Que Wuyi nodded his head vigorously." Yes, yes, yes. I will definitely use this ingot to buy a few sets of decent clothes. I won't embarrass you!”
Chu Nanfeng couldn't help but roll his eyes. He turned around and left. He really didn't know what her clothes had to do with him!
Riding on a black donkey with a huge bag on its back and two water bottles hanging from its waist, Que Wuyi hummed a discordant song and happily followed Chu Nanfeng in the direction of Mount Wu.
They had already left Xi He City for many, many days, and had walked a long, long way! She had been like this the entire time, quietly and happily following behind Chu Nanfeng. Although Chu Nanfeng didn't talk to her often, she still felt very happy!
Because she was about to go home and see her master, how could she not be happy? She had no parents since she was young and had been raised by her master since she was young. To her, her master was her father and mother. This time, she came down the mountain to the Central Plains because her beloved master was sick and needed the Nine Phoenix Ring to treat him. Otherwise, she would not bear to leave her beloved master!
Although he did not get the Nine Phoenix Ring, it was fortunate that he found the owner of the Nine Phoenix Ring!! Divine Doctor Chu Nanfeng, this should be more useful than the Nine Phoenix Ring, right?
She didn't know what illness her master was suffering from and didn't know why she didn't see a doctor when she was sick, but only wanted the Nine Phoenix Ring. But it didn't matter, now that the Nine Phoenix Ring and the doctor were all here, no matter what illness her master had, she would definitely be able to cure it with her hands….. pui, it was curing the illness with her hands, not curing the life with her hands.
Stupid Wuyi, this matter concerns Master's life and death, how can you spout nonsense and let your imagination run wild? Que Wuyi knocked on his own little head.
Que Wuyi had been thinking too much along the way, so he did not notice that there was a tree branch blocking his way. When she noticed it, it was already too late.
Que Wuyi was thrown back and fell heavily onto the donkey's back. His little butt was almost split into four halves, and tears were falling from the pain.
"It hurts!"
Que Wuyi rubbed his little butt and angrily jumped up, punching and kicking the tree that had caused her to fall off the donkey's back.
"I'll hit you, kick you, and beat you up. You stupid tree, how dare you make me fall! I'll kick, I'll hit, I'll kick, I'll chop you down and burn you…"
"Alright, have you had enough? If you have the time to be angry with the tree, you might as well help pick up more firewood. Otherwise, you'll have to eat raw rabbit meat to fill your stomach tonight!”
Just as Que Wuyi was enjoying his revenge, Chu Nanfeng's cold voice suddenly rang out.
Que Wuyi turned around and saw that Chu Nanfeng had already tied the donkey to the side to eat grass and rest. In his hand was a small rabbit, which was obviously their dinner tonight.
A sneaky smile appeared on Que Wuyi's cute little face." Big Brother Chu, there's no need to pick up firewood. This big stupid tree is ready-made firewood, but it's not enough for dinner. There's still a little more." Big Brother Chu, wait for me. You are a doctor, and a doctor is a doctor who practices medicine to save the world. You definitely won't, and you don't need to do such trivial things. Let me, the little dragon girl, steal it for you. You just have to watch from the side!”
Before Chu Nanfeng could reply, she had already started busying herself.
She chopped down a tree, started a fire, skinned a rabbit, and ran to the river to fetch water and catch fish. Then, she took out a pot and two bowls from the bag she was carrying. She boiled fish soup and roasted rabbit meat. She then cut the branches into chopsticks and shouted happily,
"Brother Chu, you can come over for dinner! Although it was not as delicious as the restaurant, it should still be edible.”
Looking at the pot of fragrant fish soup, two bowls of crispy and fragrant roasted rabbit meat, two large steamed buns, a spoon, and chopsticks, Chu Nanfeng was truly speechless.
He didn't expect this girl to be so straightforward and capable.
He sat down beside the fire and looked at the little girl whose face was red from the fire. He couldn't help but ask,"Wuyi, do you do this often?”
Que Wuyi hugged the rabbit leg in satisfaction and chewed on it until his mouth was oily. He said vaguely,"That's right! Ever since I was young, I've been cooking like this for my master and myself every day.”
"Since young? Where's your master? Doesn't she cook?" Chu Nanfeng asked as he ate the rabbit meat with his chopsticks.
"Master doesn't know how to cook!" Que Wuyi said matter-of-factly. Master knows a lot of things. She can play the zither, embroider, draw, write poems, sing, and dance. However, Master doesn't know how to cook, earn money, wash clothes, or tidy up the house. So, she can only let me, this stupid disciple, do it.”
Chu Nanfeng frowned when he heard that.
Living on a deserted mountain, he could actually play the zither, embroider, draw, write poems, sing, and dance? This was unheard of and unheard of.
"Wuyi, what's your master's name?" he asked curiously. Do you know what illness she has?"
Que Wuyi shook his head." Master is Master. I don't know Master's name. As for Master's illness, I don't know either. I only know that Master's heart aches a few times every day and she often coughs. There were many times when I saw her cough until she vomited blood.”
"Yes!" Chu Nanfeng pondered for a moment." What about eating? How many bowls of rice can your master eat at a time?”
"Master doesn't like to eat. He can only eat half a bowl at most! Her master didn't like to drink water either, and she was afraid of the cold. As long as the weather changed slightly, her whole body would become hot, she would tremble, and she would even cough until she fainted. Big Brother Chu, do you know what illness Master has?”
From Que Wuyi's description, Chu Nanfeng had already guessed that her master had phlegm disease. However, there was no medicine that could cure this illness. At most, it could only suppress the illness.
Suddenly, he thought of something," Wuyi, why did you steal my Nine Phoenix Ring?”
Que Wuyi said as he chewed on the rabbit meat,"Master told me to steal it!"
"Did she ask you to steal it?"
"That's right! Master said that other than the Nine Phoenix Ring, no one else in the world can cure her illness, but she doesn't want to die, so she asked me to come down the mountain to find you to steal the Nine Phoenix Ring to cure her.”
"Then, for the sake of the Nine Phoenix Ring, you became a little beggar in Xi He City for three months and called her mother a few hundred times?”
"No way! I went to Dunhuang to wait for you!"
Chu Nanfeng was shocked." Wait for me at Dunhuang?”
"That's right! I think since you live in Dunhuang, I will go to Dunhuang and wait for you. However, I've been guarding outside those Buddhist caves for a whole month, eating dry buns for a month, and blowing the yellow sand wind for a month. Not to mention you, I didn't even see an ant.”
"Then how did you know I was in South Qin?”
"Stupid Big Brother Chu, of course I waited for him to come out!”
Chu Nanfeng was even more surprised." You're saying that after waiting for me for a month, you waited for me for another month?”
Que Wuyi nodded without a care, as if this was a very natural thing to do. "I don't know how long I've been waiting. Anyway, I'm on the mountain and I often guard the snow cave alone, waiting for Master to come back. So it's nothing.”
"And then? You're following me to South Qin?"
"Yes! Sometimes I was a little beggar, sometimes I was an old woman, but most of the time, I disguised myself as a little servant, carrying a basket of books and herbs, and quietly followed behind you. If you find out, I'll say that I've lost Master. That way, you won't be angry. If you didn't notice, then others would think that I was your servant and naturally wouldn't dare to bully me!”
Chu Nanfeng was enlightened. No wonder he felt like someone was following him. It was this girl. However, this girl was too smart and bold. She actually thought of such a stupid way to follow him?
Fortunately, he had always relied on his skills and boldness to not care about those little thieves behind him. Otherwise, even if this girl had a hundred lives, she would have lost ninety-nine and a half.
"Wuyi, who taught you the art of disguise? Is it your master?"
"That's not true! Master doesn't know how to disguise, but I know how to do it myself!”
"You can do it yourself?"
"That's right! I've been alone with Master since I was young, but Master is often not around, so I have to play alone. You see, I can now play as an old woman, a little beggar, and a little servant. Isn't it amazing?"
Chu Nanfeng nodded. However, for some reason, a mist had entered his eyes, and he felt a tinge of sadness and pity. It was because Que Wuyi had been alone since he was young and had no one to rely on. He felt pity for her for knowing how to be considerate and take care of others since she was young. It seemed that this girl was not as crafty and eccentric as she looked!
"Big Brother Chu, what exactly is wrong with my master?" Que Wuyi asked.”
Chu Nanfeng was taken aback. He pulled back his thoughts that had already drifted away." This…I can't be sure yet. I'll only know after I see it."”
Que Wuyi was a little disappointed." Is that so? You're a divine doctor. Can't you just listen and know?”
Chu Nanfeng smiled." Do you think I'm a god? How can you tell what illness your master has just by listening?”
"But everyone said that even if you didn't come personally, you could still cure the illness, right? I also saw you on the road to South Qin, using just a few words to cure a girl's illness, why are you saying now…"
As she spoke, she suddenly stopped and stared blankly at Chu Nanfeng's back with her eyes wide open.
Chu Nanfeng noticed that something was wrong with her expression." Wuyi, what's wrong?”
Que Wuyi's face was slightly pale. He pushed Chu Nanfeng away abruptly." Big Brother Chu, it's dangerous!”
Chu Nanfeng was pushed to the side by her. Just as he was about to ask her what had happened, he was stunned to see a black shadow pouncing toward Que Wuyi.
As the black shadow passed by, Que Wuyi let out a scream.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:1024201810:39AM
