1106: Doors Shut, No Entry
with spirits now What are you going to offer in exchange—""No!" I quickly shook my head. "I'm only worried about the corpse poison spreading, so I started removing it from the nearest places. After f...Mu Wanchen shouldn't be this kind of person, I haven't seen him have any entanglements with any woman.
He didn't seem to have any particular feelings for other women, just like he did with men, keeping a certain distance.
"Little apprentice sister, there are quite a few women here too, each one so graceful and beautiful. Aren't you feeling pressured Do you want your senior sisters to give those women a warning"
Sixth Senior Sister's gossip had her blood boiling, she probably thought my life was as exciting as a palace intrigue drama.
"...No, don't say he had women clinging to him; he didn't even have a female mosquito around him." I buried my head in my bowl of porridge.
Sister Six didn't believe me, thinking I was speaking up for Mu Wanchen. Sister Five said: "What's the problem with that Generally, when a patient is suffering, their psychology is the most vulnerable. They have a kind of awe and gratitude towards the doctor, so now is the time to take action. We just need to focus our efforts and heal these men and women. Once they are healed, they will all be in awe of our family and dare not bully our little sister."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're right, Senior Sister. You have more experience."
Have you got experience
“Fifth Senior Sister, do you treat Brother Long this way too Look, he doesn't even want to come to our house anymore.” I asked.
"How can you blame me" Fifth Sister hurriedly shook her head. "It was Brother Long who was worried about the family business and eager to return… Father even had me specially prepare medicine for him, saying that his body still needed tending to and he couldn't stop taking it."
Father and Senior Brother Jun were very concerned about the patient, not to mention that I'm currently staying at Long Xiaoge's place. They specially prepared a medicine chest for him.
But Long Xiaoge never shows his face unless there's something going on. He enjoys tranquility, is a relatively taciturn person, and he wouldn't appear unless there was something special happening.
He lives in this Miao Wang City. The layers upon layers of alleys intimidate us from wandering around carelessly. This place looks like a castle, or perhaps even a fortress. Key points are guarded by soldiers, and their expressions clearly show they don't welcome us loitering about.
“So how do we give him the medicine we brought Does he have any attendants around him Or are there doctors in his city We could give it to a doctor... but I'm afraid a doctor might not be careful.” The fifth senior sister looked at the towering fortress on the mountain and said.
Sixth Sister rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't want to eat it, just stay here. After all, we've done our best. We even brought medicine to your door. How many people would get this kind of treatment You can choose whether you want to eat it or not... If his voice doesn't recover properly, he might even lose his voice in the future."
I was taken aback. Long Xiaoge was always taciturn, and now he disliked talking even more. His voice was hoarse from the poison, which sounded oddly soothing to me. But thinking about it further, I realized that even speaking was a burden for him.
It's a pity, but he doesn't need anyone's pity at all.
This is his city, even in his solitude he is its king.
Outside the gate, there are still his people and loyal followers.
But within the Buddhist teachings...
He doesn't even have anyone to take care of him, does he
"Then we should send the medical kit up, right I'll go with you. The guards will probably give me some face and let us through." I said to my two senior sisters.
"Indeed, we can only return after delivering it here," Sixth Senior Sister nodded.
"There aren't many people here, even if we give him medicine, he'll probably just be left alone." I got up and pointed to Miao Wang City, signaling that we should go up now.
Big Sis Wu has always been diligent and meticulous in her work. She was about to pack up her medical kit when Little Brother Liang quickly stopped her.
I was walking towards Miao Wang City with two senior sisters and nine younger brothers, while Liang Xiaoger led four soldiers from Wu Wang Shan City following me.
Nine people walked in a narrow alley. Shijie whispered, "If you have the ability to build such a large castle on the mountain, why is the road up so stingy It's hard to even turn around with a box! Can the fat man not enter the city"
Pff…
“This is done on purpose.” I explained to the Fifth Senior Sister, “A place like Miao Wang City is the political and economic center of a tribal leader’s domain. The Miao King lives there too, it’s both his home and a military stronghold. There are troops stationed inside. Have you ever seen a fortress that’s so flamboyant and opulent”
"I've seen them, those castles in Europe are just over-the-top."
"Different cultures should not be compared."
"So, all these designs are to prevent attacks" Wu Shijie understood immediately. She looked at the treacherous steps and towers at key points, shook her head and said, "Where is there any fighting between clans now The world has changed drastically. It's unlikely they would need such elaborate designs anymore."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gloomy young man suddenly appeared from the corner of the upper staircase in Miao Wangcheng.
If you say youth, I'd believe if you said young people too.
Long Xiaogē looked like a thin, gloomy and melancholic young boy, about eighteen or nineteen years old. His body was still slender and undeveloped.
He stood on the upper platform, looking down at us. Fine strands of hair across his forehead obscured his gaze; we couldn't see clearly, but a nameless unity of "silence" fell upon us.
Five Senior Sisters and Six Senior Sisters immediately turned their heads to "look at the scenery," leaving only me facing Long Xiaoge's gaze. I awkwardly waved at him: "...Hi."
"What are you doing" Long Xiao glanced at our group.
Although there were less than ten people, it was quite a crowd for this lonely castle.
“My father and Senior Brother Jun asked the two senior sisters to deliver medicine. They brought your prescription separately.” I explained.
Long Xiaoge pressed a mechanism on the noodles, and the door to the nearest tower opened. Two soldiers came out and checked briefly before letting them pass.
Many rooms and halls in Miao Wang City were empty, left uninhabited for years.
He led us to a spacious hall filled with grandeur, then turned and said, "No one is here to attend to you. If you want tea, help yourselves."
Needless to say, my two senior sisters diligently went to wash his cups and make tea for him.
"At least get some people to work in the village, right Like a chef and a maid. Two of them! You don't look like someone who can cook or clean..." I said from my chair.
"Too much trouble, I don't need so many people. There were some in the city before, but I let them go later." Long Xiao frowned at the medicine box and said, "No need to be so troublesome, I'm already fine."
"What a load of crap! My father and your shixiong said that you wouldn't be alright for at least two or three years. You might even turn mute afterwards." Five Senior Sister walked in with a tea tray.
Long Xiaoge frowned. He certainly didn't want to become mute, but the idea of returning home for two or three years of convalescence made him extremely reluctant.
Sixth Senior Sister propped her chin up and looked at Little Dragon Brother, saying, “Shall we give the medicine to Doctor Lian Long He has little medicine boys boil the medicine every day and send it to you But I’m afraid by the time it gets here, it would be cold…”
“It’s not enough to just take medicine, you also need to supplement your diet You can’t miss out on the medicinal soups and dishes regularly.” Fifth Sister said while making tea, “I think you should come back to our place to recuperate. We don't charge you anything, what are you afraid of”
It's probably because he's afraid of you.ut the other halfCan only the power of the Zixiao Ruyi be used to destroy itI'm not willing to destroy these ghosts. They were also tricked by the old king, and for centuries, there have been too many...
