Chapter 1180 The Clinic in the Corner
The old Taoist priest held the sword with obvious delight, like a child who had just seen a wonderful toy.
[This person is so filthy, their clothes are covered in glaze, and their greed is almost making me faint, ugh~]
Wuyou's voice came through, carrying an unprecedented sense of helplessness and vulnerability.
Song Chunxue sensed something was wrong and was about to take the sword back when Wuyou darted out of his arms.
You could hear him gagging from a distance.
"This..." The old Taoist priest was puzzled and disappointed. "They ran away so quickly. Are you afraid that I covet this sword?"
"No, it's just that this sword has a temper. It..." Song Chunxue didn't know how to explain. She couldn't very well say that the sword thought he was dirty. If it could smell his scent, Wuyou would probably start screaming before she even handed him over to the old Taoist priest.
“That’s true. He’s a divine sword, and the sword spirit has a temper. It’s understandable that he doesn’t like this old man.” The old Taoist priest rubbed his hands together, turned around with a smile, and said, “Let’s go wash up and get something to eat. I can smell the stir-fried pickled vegetables with meat. It’ll definitely taste good in a steamed bun.”
"Okay, right, let's get something to eat, we're all hungry."
I haven't had much contact with people like the old Taoist priest lately, so she didn't know what to say.
As she walked, she suddenly stopped. It seemed that in the past few years, she had been dealing with Taoist priests on the mountain, her senior brothers, Master Han, and her master, all of whom were rather detached from worldly affairs.
Her feet hadn't touched the soil in a long time. During those years of farming, she would pull wheat in the fields, and during breaks, she would drink water, eat steamed buns, and savor the golden apricots while gazing at the sun-dried Loess Plateau, feeling a myriad of emotions.
It really felt like a lifetime had passed.
I haven't seen those people from the village in years; I guess they've all gotten too old or left.
Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.
She really can't stay still; she wants to wander around in familiar places, sometimes fickle and sometimes nostalgic for her hometown.
Humans are really strange.
Fortunately, she can now make her own decisions without having to consider what others think.
That's strange, isn't it? If you just follow the rules, you're not human.
Even my master, it's hard for him to stay in one place for too long.
Other disciples said that they often heard news of the Moon-Accompanying Immortal going out, and they wanted to ask him for answers to their questions. They would leave letters and wait for him to return and reply to them one by one.
During the meal, the Taoist priest was very hospitable, even handing her chopsticks and serving her pickled vegetables, just like the elders in the village.
If he hadn't been using unused chopsticks, Song Chunxue would have run away long ago.
However, he was very careful, afraid that his sleeves would brush against the steamed buns. Apart from his own slightly dirty appearance, there was nothing wrong with him.
Song Chunxue gritted her teeth and ate breakfast anyway.
In the afternoon, Sanwa returned from the government office and saw her suddenly stop and stare at her strangely.
"Mother, why is your face pale? Did you eat something that poisoned you?"
Sanwa was very worried. "Why don't we go outside and find a doctor to take a look? Your complexion isn't very good."
Do you look unwell?
Song Chunxue raised her hand and touched her cheek. She hadn't heard that phrase in the past few years, otherwise her training would have been in vain.
"Alright, I'll go out and find a doctor to take a look at you. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to ask a few of my senior brothers for help." Sanwa walked very fast, his feet barely touching the ground.
Song Chunxue pondered for a moment, then used her divine sense to search for Wuyou, [Where did you go? Come back quickly and see if something is wrong with me.]
Soon, Wuyou flew from behind the house across the street to her.
"Huh? You drank poison?"
Song Chunxue took out a small mirror and saw that her complexion was indeed not right.
She immediately thought of that old Taoist priest.
Where did that old Taoist priest go?
Wuyou ran back after patrolling around, "They're gone. Everything in your room, including that dagger."
Yes, at noon she casually played with the dagger, throwing it like a dart, then put it on the table without putting it away.
Logically speaking, it was a magical artifact and wouldn't be easily taken away.
Song Chunxue narrowed her eyes slightly, "Can you find that Taoist priest?"
Wuyou paused for a moment, then said, "No."
cannot?
Logically speaking, there is no one that Wuyou cannot find.
Losing a magical artifact is one thing, but if he's after her life, Song Chunxue is about to lose her temper.
She hurried outside, "to find a reliable doctor."
“There’s one place I knew about when I entered the city. It’s in an alley in the southeast corner. There’s a really good doctor there. It’s such a remote place, yet there’s a corner full of spiritual energy.”
As she spoke, Wuyou excitedly skipped and hopped ahead, "Hahaha, I never thought you'd get tricked by an old man! Your face is getting darker and darker, you're almost turning into a black chicken, hahaha~"
Song Chunxue didn't care; it would be strange if he didn't make a sarcastic remark.
She only cared about whether she would die.
Having come this far, I'm hoping to run into some idiot bully on the road, so I can unleash my fists and beat him until he regrets being born.
She ended up being tricked and killed, which would surely bring her back to life from anger.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, they arrived at the alley in the southeast corner. At a glance, they saw several pots of bright flowers and long vines hanging down by the railing on the second floor in the far corner. The whole clinic was full of vitality and lush greenery.
It stands in stark contrast to the bare and somewhat messy railings next to it.
At the base of the south wall, a small garden was built with bricks, and a clump of yellow flowers was planted inside.
When Song Chunxue stepped into the clinic, she saw that everyone inside was busy with their own tasks. An elderly man with white hair was taking someone's pulse with his eyes closed, a young man was dispensing medicine in front of the medicine cabinet, and a mother and child were sitting on a bench next to them. The little girl was timidly looking at everything that was unfamiliar to her.
Those large, clear eyes smiled when they saw Song Chunxue.
Song Chunxue was taken aback. As a grandmother, it was hard to refuse such an obedient child, so she took out a few candies from her bosom.
"mother."
The little girl didn't rush to take it; instead, she looked up at her mother.
"Quickly thank them," the young woman said softly, sounding very weak.
If Song Chunxue hadn't had such good hearing, she wouldn't have been able to hear what she was saying.
It's obvious that she didn't take care of herself after giving birth; her body is severely depleted, and she looks pale and thin.
Her child, too, looked excessively thin and small.
She was like this after giving birth to her third child, and the doctor told her to go home and eat more.
Feeling sorry for her, Song Chunxue looked away and sat down on a bench nearby.
"It's nothing serious. Just avoid bending over too much, eat more meat, and rest when you're tired," the doctor said gently. "If you still feel unwell, try to grow more astragalus and drink more artemisia capillaris decoction."
These are all free; the doctor is saving them money.
The man opposite him was thin, with a hunched back and a tanned neck, clearly showing signs of years of overwork leading to various health problems.
"Just write me a prescription, I'll take two doses. My eyesight has been really bad lately." The man took out five copper coins from his pocket. "Two doses will do."
The doctor sighed softly, "Then I'll write you a prescription. Go back and rest for a couple of days."
