Chapter 35 Happy Heart

......

"That's fine." Fanyu said.

"What did the platform mean just now?" Zhang Yin asked.

"That... I'm just a mouse." Fanyu smiled.

"Ah!" Zhang Yin shouted, ready to jump into the water to escape.

"Don't be afraid! I don't eat people!" Fanyu grabbed Zhang Yin, who was about to dive, and said, "You haven't seen the monsters in this water! If you jump down, you won't be afraid that he will eat you. Besides, have you seen a few mice that eat people!"

"That's right..." Zhang Yin wiped his sweat and said.

"Look at your courage, you should not walk at night in the future. Do not be scared to death." After that, he raised the boat and continued to row to the other side of the river.

"I'll make you laugh." Zhang Yin calmed down and said.

"Sit down! We have to cross the river quickly so that there will be no more rotten corpses appear." Then we speed up the boat.

...

Xia Zhiqiu ran to Yunyi Village alone. Along the way, he shuttled through the dense forests at a speed of one step and three feet apart.

It was getting late, so I had to slow down.

The deep forest in front of me was rising with the arrival of night. Thick fog rose, and several crows lay on the branches of the tree, and from time to time, terrifying screams came.

Xia Zhiqiu dismantled the cloth wrapped around Fengming's sword and carried it on his back. A wave of warmth spread throughout his body.

"Oh no." Xia Zhiqiu looked at the road that had been walking several times before her.

"The moon is in the window, the evening breeze is resting, the frost is in the morning, and colorful butterflies appear." Xia Zhiqiu pinched his hands and said to him.

I saw a yellow and white butterfly emerge from my hand and floating in front of Xia Zhiqiu's eyes.

"This trick taught by Miss Guan Tong is really useful." Xia Zhiqiu smiled.

Then he slowly moved forward with the guidance of the butterfly.

In a dull dense forest, there are always existences that mortals do not know. No one knows what kind of people they live in a seemingly ordinary wooden house.

There is a fireplace in the wooden house, and the fire is still flashing. Several simple counters are placed along the wall of the cottage, and a table and two stools are placed in the center of the cottage. The newest place in the house should be the bed where someone is sleeping.

Xia Zhiqiu, led by the colorful butterflies, had already walked out of the fog. However, it was dark, and his own could not travel around the sky and fly like his master Lin Caiyou. He had to explore slowly in the forest.

Fortunately, I found a wooden house with lights on. Xia Zhiqiu smiled, walked up to him and knocked on the door gently. He said, "Is there anyone in the house?"

A moment later, a voice replied, "Who is outside the door?"

"I'm a passing person below. I'm lost in the forest and want to stay for a night. Can I do it convenient?"

"Oh well!"

The door opened, and the faint light in the room shone out. A girl appeared in front of Xia Zhiqiu. The girl looked fourteen or fifteen years old. She glanced at Xia Zhiqiu and said, "Please, please."

"Miss Xie."

Xia Zhiqiu walked into the room, glanced at the decorations inside the room, and asked, "Does the girl live alone?"

"No. My sister went out to do something and came back tomorrow." The girl replied sternly.

"That's right!" Xia Zhiqiu came back to her senses and looked at the girl. The girl looked only fourteen or five years old, but she had begun to develop. Although her face was pale, she still couldn't hide her stunning beauty.

"Is the girl injured?" Xia Zhiqiu asked, pointing to the wound on the girl's arm.

"While playing in the forest today, I was accidentally injured by a hunter." The girl replied.

"Oh! It just so happens that some bruises and injuries will be cured. If the girl doesn't dislike it, can you let me take a look?" Xia Zhiqiu said.

"Then you are working hard." After the girl said that, a trace of contempt flashed across her face and lay on the bed, rolled up her sleeves and leaked out her snow-white skin. Her hands touched it, as smooth as silk.

Xia Zhiqiu followed the faint light in the house and saw clearly that the wound was injured by an arrow. A lot of blood was gathered under the skin from the wound, but fortunately the wound was not deep.

"Is there any wine?" Xia Zhiqiu asked.

"That."

Xia Zhiqiu took out a small pot of wine from the cabinet, and gently wiped the wound with a silk cloth dipped in the wine.

"Give me the knife." Xia Zhiqiu suddenly said to the girl.

"Hmm?" The girl was shocked.

"The one under your body." Xia Zhiqiu said.

The girl had to take out the dagger hidden under her body and hand it to Xia Zhiqiu. Xia Zhiqiu took the dagger, put it on the fire and heated it, and said, "It hurts a little, bear it."

Then, he used a dagger to slowly scrape off the broken part of the wound. He sucked out the blood with his mouth, applied some wound medicines he carried with him, and then bandaged the wound with a silk cloth before he stood up. During the whole process, the girl didn't say a word, and her face didn't change for a moment. She watched Xia Zhiqiu bandaged her wound.

"Thank you, young master." said the girl.

"I should thank the girl for being willing to take her in. I will disturb her for the rest of the night and leave tomorrow." Xia Zhiqiu said that, and walked to the table and slept on the table.

The girl seemed to be confused for a moment. She looked at Xia Zhiqiu's figure shining under the fire.

The next morning, "Girl, say goodbye."

"Young master, go slowly. I have something to tell you." The girl said in a sucking voice.

"Please tell me, girl." Xia Zhiqiu said.

"Young Master, I'm not a human, I'm a demon..." The girl lowered her head after she said that.

"I know." Xia Zhiqiu said with a smile.

"Young Master knows?"

"I knew it before I entered the house." Xia Zhiqiu smiled and said, "How many women like you dare to live alone in this lonely mountain ridge. Besides, when I sucked bad blood for the girl last night, the girl's blood was sweet. As far as I know, there is a herb called hand-cutting secret in the forests in the human world, and its juice was sweet. So I had already guessed the girl's identity at that time."

"Young master, don't dislike me." The girl asked.

"My husband taught me: 'Man and demon are the creatures in this world, and they should live together equally.' Besides, there are evil people and good spirits among demons. Not all demons are about harming people." Xia Zhiqiu said.

The girl smiled with relief.

Xia Zhiqiu continued: "It is not easy for a girl to cultivate to such an extent with the physical ability of plants, trees, flowers and spirits. So she will be careful in the future. There are many evil people among the mortals who will come here to find some precious materials to increase their practice. The girl will still live in the depths of the mountain in the future. In the future, she will do more good deeds and practice hard will lead to enlightenment."

"Thank you for your teachings," the girl smiled, then took out a piece of herb and handed it to Xia Zhiqiu.

"This..." Xia Zhiqiu looked at the herbs in his hand and knew that this was a part of the branches and leaves taken out of the girl from her body. It could heal serious injuries and increase her skills. Xia Zhiqiu also understood that even if he did not treat the girl's injuries yesterday, the girl would be healed within a few days, and he was just inserting one more piece.
