Chapter 146 It’s Snowing

It was still cold outside the carriage.

It was warm inside the carriage.

Yu Changsheng ate the cake and drank hot water, his face becoming even more rosy:

"Oh, I'm really lucky this time. I actually met Xiaobai back."

Doctor Yu said calmly:

"Master, are you lost again? Are you trying to blackmail passersby into taking you back to the Divine Doctor Valley?"

Yu Changsheng's white beard trembled, and some biscuit crumbs were stained on it:

"Xiaobai, how can you say that? It's obvious that Master wants to make good connections on the road."

Although Doctor Yu had left the Valley of Divine Doctors for almost ten years, he still remembered his uncle's style very clearly.

Master uncle always likes to go out of the valley and deal with difficult and complicated cases, especially to help some old people who have difficulty surviving the winter.

But my uncle was born without a sense of direction and was unable to develop it later in life.

If you go out alone, you will definitely get lost.

If you go out with other people, you will probably get separated and become the only one lost.

Finally, the uncle will

He fainted while trying to scam people on the road, then asked someone to take him back to the Valley of Miraculous Doctors, and then gave him some rare and precious medicines that were rarely seen on the market in return.

It doesn’t matter if someone refuses to give it to you.

Just change to the next one.

Yu Changsheng asked, "Xiaobai, have you finished traveling around the martial arts world? Do you want to go back to the valley to rest for a while?"

The northwest of Dayu is sparsely populated, but in the desolate valley are two isolated martial arts sects.

One poison, one medicine.

The Hua family of the Five Poisons Valley is good at making poisons.

The miraculous doctor Gu Yu, who brings people back to life with his magic hands.

The disciples of the two sects are either descendants of people in the valley or orphans, and all of them have the surname Hua or Yu.

It is said that when the Five Poison Valley and the Divine Doctor Valley were founded hundreds of years ago, the founders of the two sects learned from the same medical immortal.

Both of them are proficient in medicine and have outstanding talents.

However, the two had different goals and ideas. One only liked to make poisons, and the other only liked to cure diseases, so they each established their own sect.

The Hua family of the Five Poisons Valley has never been concerned with worldly affairs, and their ancestral teachings prohibit them from leaving the valley.

On the contrary, in the Valley of Divine Doctors, every disciple needs to travel around the world and practice medicine to save people.

When Yu Rubai was sixteen years old, he left the valley to travel. Later, by chance, he went to Black Bandit Mountain and stayed there for several years. He became Doctor Yu of Liangmin Village.

"We'll go back to the valley this time to take a look, but we'll have to leave after that." Doctor Yu answered clearly.

This answer seemed to be within Yu Changsheng's expectations. He ate the last bite of the biscuit in his hand:

"It's good to go out and explore more. People like us in the Divine Doctor Valley need to be knowledgeable and broad-minded in order to improve our medical skills. It's useless to work in isolation."

"but--"

Yu Changsheng changed his tone and looked at Yu Rubai with a meaningful look.

"You've been away for so many years, have you got married yet?"

Yu Rubai: “…No.”

"Alas, your master and I were right. You are a good-looking boy, but it will be difficult for you to find a wife with your personality."

Yu Changsheng slapped his thigh and said, "But don't worry. After we return to the valley, ask your master to introduce you to a beautiful junior sister."

Yu Rubai flatly refused: "No need."

"What's going on?" Yu Changsheng lifted the curtain and glanced at the marching troops outside, a hint of displeasure in his eyes, "Are you working for the court?

The smile on Yu Changsheng's face faded, and his friendly voice became serious:

"Hasn't what happened in the Northwest made you see clearly how muddy the waters are?!"

Yu Rubai shook his head. "Master, I'm not working for the imperial court. I'm just a villager who happened to be traveling with the troop that's escorting military supplies. I came back this time to go back to the valley and look for the Tianshan Snow Lotus again."

When Yu Changsheng heard the latter part of the sentence, his expression darkened for a moment:

"That matter, you still haven't let it go? Your brother has been gone for many years, why are you..."

Yu Rubai: "Whether I let it go or not, now that I'm back, I'm going to look for the Tianshan Snow Lotus."

Yu Changsheng: "What if you can't find it?"

A corner of the carriage curtain was blown up, and Yu Rubai saw the figures of Su Zhizhi and Xue Che riding on horseback outside.

The two children were wrapped like little bears, shaking their heads as they spoke.

Yu Rubai said in a low and steady voice, "We can find it. This time, we will definitely find it."

While Yu Rubai and Yu Changsheng were talking in the carriage at the back, Hua Erniang was sitting in the carriage at the front, fiddling with her fingers absentmindedly, and no one knew what she was thinking about.

When the team stopped to rest, Yu Rubai and Yu Changsheng came to say goodbye to Hao Ren.

Yu Rubai: "Village Chief Hao, I must send my uncle back to Divine Doctor Valley. I will then meet up with you at the military camp."

Hao Ren knew that Doctor Yu was going back to the northwest to visit his master, so he was not surprised. He just said:

"Be careful on the road."

Yu Changsheng smiled and took out a few small medicine bottles from his pocket and handed them to Su Zhizhi, Xue Che, Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan respectively:

"Thank you for your help. This old man was able to recognize his nephew. This little gift is my way of repaying you."

Su Zhizhi put the bottle under her nose and sniffed:

"Grandpa, what is this?"

Yu Changsheng: "Some medicines that replenish qi and blood can help prolong life."

Yu Rubai added, "My uncle-in-law has devoted half his life to developing the elixir of immortality."

Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan were naturally happy when they heard this.

They were all in their seventies, and the old man in front of them had completely white hair and beard, so he must be over a hundred years old.

If they take this medicine, wouldn't they be able to live to nearly a hundred years old?

If they weren't embarrassed in front of outsiders, they would want to take it now.

Yu Changsheng said modestly, "But my talent is not enough, so I haven't developed it yet. I'm over fifty now, so I still need decades of research."

Xue Che was surprised: "How old are you, Grandpa Yu?"

Yu Changsheng: "Fifty-four."

Su Zhizhi also widened her eyes: "But Grandpa, your hair and beard are so white."

Yu Changsheng: "Yes, my hair is all white at an early age. It was like this when I was young. In the past ten years or so, I have been studying medicine day and night. It is too hard, so it has turned completely white."

Everyone: ...

After Qin Xiao and Wei Dashuan expressed their thanks, they silently put the small bottle into their arms and suddenly didn't feel like eating anymore.

Hua Erniang listened beside her without saying a word.

When Yu Rubai was about to leave, she looked up and looked at his back with her clear eyes.

Yu Rubai stopped, turned around and said:

"You should go back to the valley and take a look too."

Hua Erniang pinched the corner of her clothes and then loosened it: "I can take care of it myself, you can go now."

Yu Rubai and Yu Changsheng rode away on their horses.

Hua Erniang turned around and got on the carriage without looking at Yu Rubai's leaving back.

The other people in Liangmin Village also went about their own business.

However, the soldiers looked at Doctor Yu with some reluctance as he left, feeling that it was a huge loss on the road.

But now we are very close to the Xue family army’s camp.

They would arrive in two days at most.

Su Zhizhi fiddled with the soil on the ground.

It was dry and hard, with no bugs or grass.

There actually is such a place where no grass grows.

But it snows in this barren place.

The cold wind blew up the dust on the ground.

Many fine white snowflakes as white as salt fell from the sky.

"It's so cool." Su Zhizhi reached out and caught some snowflakes, which instantly turned into wet spots in her hands.

The snow is getting heavier.

At first it was just snow particles, but later it turned into large flakes of snow.

A snowflake was blown onto Su Zhizhi's eyelashes.

Su Zhizhi's little face shuddered, and her eyes were full of excitement:

“It’s snowing.”

"It's snow!"

“I see snow!”
