Chapter 110 Danger
Qu Yanbai stood in this huge space. At first glance, he seemed to be in a huge warehouse. Everything was there. He asked in surprise, "What is this place?"
Qin Muxue coughed a few times, "This is my space. The sound outside is too disturbing. Let's hide here for a while." She let out a long sigh, and the evil sound seemed to still surround her ears.
This electric current-like noise made everyone feel uncomfortable. Qin Muxue asked doubtfully: "Have you ever heard such a sound?"
Manman shook her head in confusion, "I've never heard such a noise before."
The sound just now should have come from the observatory's broadcast, but why would there be such a groan coming from there, coupled with the strange creature called the evil spirit, cast a shadow in everyone's heart.
When she was outside, Qin Muxue didn't feel anything. But after she came in, she found that the place where she was hurt by the evil spirit before was in sharp pain.
"It hurts." Qin Muxue covered her shoulder.
"Were you hurt by that creature?" Shi Yan asked nervously.
"Yeah, it hurts here in my shoulder." Qin Muxue now felt that she couldn't even lift her arm.
Originally, he wanted Manman to take a look at her wound, but Shi Yan asked Manman not to touch her first, "Let me take a look first. Alien creatures like evil spirits carry many unknown viruses that cannot be cured by us blue planet people." In order to prevent Qin Muxue from feeling too much pain, he first took off her coat. When he took off her thermal clothes, Qin Muxue felt that she could not lift her arms, so she could only cut the clothes open with scissors.
In order to avoid suspicion, Qin Muxue asked Zhenzhu to take Qu Yanbai to get some spiritual spring water first. "Zhenzhu, you should know the location, right?"
Zhenzhu nodded. Although she was just a cat, she could feel the injury her master was suffering. It was probably not an ordinary wound. There was anxiety in her eyes, but she had to obey Qin Muxue's orders.
Qu Yanbai naturally understood her intention, "Then Zhenzhu and I will go get some spiritual spring water first. Is there anything else you need to take?"
Qin Muxue shook her head weakly, "No more."
Looking at their receding backs, Shi Yan no longer cared about being shy. He took off Qin Muxue's clothes, revealing the location of the wound.
The three claw marks looked a little deep, deep enough to see the bone. What was even more terrifying was that the area around the wound had begun to turn blue. Qin Muxue was wearing thick clothes at first, including a black coat, so she didn't realize how serious the wound was. Moreover, the wound began to rot at a speed visible to the naked eye. If it was not treated in time, not only would the arm be crippled, but Qin Muxue would also die.
Manman's heart was already hanging in the air. "If it weren't for me, Xiaoxue wouldn't have had this happen."
"What are you talking about? No matter what happens, I will protect you." Manman could no longer control her emotions and hugged Qin Muxue.
"I'll show you right away, don't worry, I have healing powers now, and I also have a remedy space. I can definitely save you, don't worry, Xiaoxue." Manman suddenly realized that she had revealed the matter of the remedy space. She looked at Shi Yan's expression and found that apart from staring at Xiaoxue intently, he had no reaction at all.
"Don't worry, Manman, it doesn't matter even if Shi Yan knows about it. You can find a chance to tell Qu Yanbai about it. You are a couple, and since you have chosen to be together, you can't hide these things from him forever. Besides, he has passed your inspection, hasn't he?" Qin Muxue said casually, but in fact the pain was about to overwhelm her consciousness.
This was a pain that no ordinary person could bear. Fortunately, she was not an ordinary person, and this was an injury she suffered for Manman, so she never regretted it.
Just seeing Manman sobbing non-stop, her heart felt aching.
Shi Yan carefully examined his wound, while Manman used her supernatural powers to examine Qin Muxue's body. She could feel that Qin Muxue's internal organs were deteriorating at a rapid rate, and the mental power she sent into it was not enough to slow down the rate of her body's deterioration. Only by continuously injecting healing power could the wound on her shoulder slow down the rate of decay.
Qin Muxue was wearing a tight black vest. Shi Yan took off his coat and covered her except for her shoulders.
In fact, it is not cold inside the space. The temperature is constant and can be automatically adjusted according to the human body's feelings, so people will not feel hot or cold, as if they are in spring, the most suitable season for the human body.
Qin Muxue felt a warm air flow into her body, and the pain was slightly relieved.
Manman has already used up most of her mental strength. She is afraid that she can't hold on any longer. However, seeing Qin Muxue dying, she still dares not stop what she is doing. She will definitely find a way to save Xiaoxue.
Quickly thinking through the medical knowledge in her mind, Manman finally saw some useful knowledge, "clove, houttuynia cordata, knotweed, coptis root, rhubarb, asarum..." Although she didn't know whether it would be useful or not, she had to give it a try.
Qu Yanbai had already taken some spiritual spring water. Qin Muxue said weakly, "Pour it into the bathtub and let me in."
Shi Yan hurriedly brought the bathtub, filled it with spiritual spring water, picked up Qin Muxue and put her into the spiritual spring water. Qin Muxue felt a lot more relaxed as she soaked in the spiritual spring water.
Shi Yan held her hand tightly. He didn't say anything, but Qin Muxue knew how he felt. He was not good at expressing himself. "Shi Yan, don't worry about me. Lingquan water can heal me."
Manman observed Qin Muxue's arm and found that her wound had stopped decaying in the spiritual spring water and all the indicators of her body had stabilized. In this case, she now had to go to the spiritual medicine space to prepare some medicine.
This was a disease she had never seen before. Perhaps it was an infection with a virus that even humans were unfamiliar with.
Manman said solemnly, "Shi Yan, Zhenzhu, help me look after Xiaoxue. Qu Yanbai and I will be back soon."
"Yeah." The more expressionless Shi Yan was, the more repressed his emotions became. This was the only time and space where he could possess her. He blamed himself for not protecting Qin Muxue and for not discovering the existence of the evil spirit in time.
But he knew that it was useless to blame himself now. The most important thing was to find a way to save Qin Muxue. Everyone was working hard, so how could he just sit there and wait to die?
He placed Qin Muxue's hand beside his face, feeling her cold body temperature, and watching the light in her eyes gradually fade away. He said in panic, "Xiaoxue, don't leave me."
"I just feel very sleepy and a little tired. You're not going to die, so why do you have such a grumpy face?" She raised her hand and touched his face.
"You won't die. I won't let you die." Kissing her hands, he felt something in his heart was about to burst out. If he met that evil spirit again, he would definitely tear him into pieces. This time it was his mistake.
"I originally thought that the new humans were the most powerful creatures on the blue planet, but I didn't expect that there were aliens. I was careless and failed to protect myself. You don't have to feel guilty. Manman has already thought of a way. She must have a way to cure me." She was barely breathing and her face was pale.
I didn't expect this. Could it be that even if I was reborn, I couldn't escape the fate of death?
"Yes."
Shi Yan was so nervous because he knew that injuries caused by creatures like evil spirits could not be cured. At least he didn't know any way to treat it at the moment.
This is why he is feeling so uncomfortable now. When he first learned that Qin Muxue was injured, he was a little at a loss. He was not as calm as at the beginning. His heart felt as if it was pierced by thousands of arrows. He can die, but his Xiaoxue cannot die.
…
Manman pulled Qu Yanbai to the spiritual medicine space. Qu Yanbai was still a little confused. He hadn't recovered from the surprise of Qin Muxue's space yet. Then he came to another place, "What is this place?"
"Time is urgent. I'm boiling the medicine as I speak." Relying on the herbs in her memory, Manman came to the pharmacy, put the medicine into the jar and started boiling it. During this period, her face was solemn and she didn't say a word.
Only after she finished did she wipe her hands, then turned around and explained to Qu Yanbai who was following behind her: "This is the spiritual medicine space. You must be curious about where it came from."
Qu Yanbai asked doubtfully: "Isn't this an evolved ability?"
Manman stretched out her hand, the emerald ring on her finger emitting a faint green light. She also began to explain the origin of this spiritual medicine space, "This is the ring you gave me."
Qu Yanbai nodded: "Indeed, what's wrong? Is there anything special about this?"
"The spiritual medicine space is in this emerald ring. I am taking this opportunity to tell you all these things. After all, this ring belongs to you, so it is normal for you to take it back."
Qu Yanbai was stunned for a moment, then his expression returned to normal, "This is something I gave you, I will not take it back." He looked around the space again, as if he understood something, "My mother was originally a Chinese medicine pharmacist. Now I may know why she became a Chinese medicine pharmacist."
Before his mother passed away, she gave him a box of things. He only now remembered what his mother had said to him, "If you meet a girl you like, give this ring to her. She must be a kind girl who truly likes you. Do you understand?"
At that time he didn't understand the reason, but now he roughly understands his mother's good intentions.
The emerald ring contains a mysterious power. Only a kind girl who truly loves him can understand how to use this ring. Perhaps it can be said that his mother already knew that he would meet Manman in the future and reminded him in advance.
At the beginning, when he didn't understand his own feelings, he gave her the ring by accident. Maybe it was destined that Manman was indeed the girl he liked. She was gentle, kind and brave, and possessed all the qualities he thought were beautiful. In his eyes, she was the most perfect being.
"Maybe my mother had already anticipated it. This elixir space can only play its role in your hands. It should have belonged to you." The medicine in the medicine jar was bubbling, and the fragrance of medicine filled the air. "Are you preparing medicine to treat Xiaoxue?" he asked uncertainly.
"I'm not sure yet. I'm just trying to see if it works. It will take another quarter of an hour to cook. After it's done, we'll go back and give the medicine to Xiaoxue."
"Look, Manman, with your special abilities, the spiritual medicine space should be yours, so you don't have to feel any burden. Besides, we are a family, there is no distinction between you and me, what's mine is yours."
"Stop, stop. What's mine is not yours. And, I haven't admitted that you and I are a family." Manman snorted coldly and turned away awkwardly.
Now Xiaoxue was injured in order to save her. She was in no mood to talk about love. She only felt bitter in her heart. Thinking back to the little moments she had spent with Xiaoxue, she felt even sadder. "Xiaoxue became like this in order to save me."
Qu Yanbai also retracted his smile. Thinking of Qin Muxue's injuries, he couldn't feel happy no matter what. "Let's boil the medicine quickly and send it to her to try."
Qu Yanbai saw the lake not far away. The lake was surrounded by various medicinal herbs he had never seen before. He couldn't help but sigh that this was a magical place. With the elixir space, Manman was even more powerful. He couldn't help but feel happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
He walked to the lake, his mind full of thoughts, but he saw Manman hurrying up behind him, "Qu Yanbai, what are you doing here?"
"I just saw that the scenery here is nice. Don't worry, it won't waste time. We will leave here as soon as the medicine is boiled."
He thought that this was what Manman was worried about, but in fact, she was worried that the reflections in the lake would show something strange.
"What's wrong, Manman?" Manman's hesitant look made him a little confused.
Now that Qu Yanbai has entered the spiritual medicine space, there is no need to hide these things from her. She took a deep breath and explained the whole story: "This lake should be able to show what happened in parallel time and space. I learned about what happened to me in another time and space from the reflection before."
This aroused Qu Yanbai's interest, "Parallel time and space, this explanation is indeed more appropriate." He stared at the reflection in the water carefully. After a ripple, his previous life really appeared, and it was the scene before his death. His death was tragic. Manman turned pale after seeing it.
Qu Yanbai hurried to the side, and the reflection in the water disappeared. He held Manman in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid."
"So you, you were so miserable before."
Qu Yanbai smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to talk about miserable, I think we were all miserable in another time and space, otherwise we wouldn't meet here. We should be called the Miserable Squad." He couldn't help but tease.
Manman was amused by his words and felt less scared. "You're right. I'm miserable too. At least you weren't deceived by your lover."
"Lover? Did you die because of betrayal by your lover?" He pulled the corners of his mouth, with an unquestionable sense of oppression.
Manman knew that she accidentally said the wrong thing, but sooner or later she would have to explain these things to him, so she might as well take this opportunity to explain, "You also know the origins of Lei Yangzhou and me. I don't have the memory of that time and space, so naturally I can't understand how I fell in love with Lei Yangzhou in that time and space. At least I don't like him in this time and space. He is just a stranger to me."
Qu Yanbai naturally knew what Manman meant. Since he had chosen this person, he would not have any other doubts in his heart. "Don't worry, Manman, I will never be like Lei Yangzhou. I can tell you for sure that I only like you. Although I can't represent myself in other time and space, but in this time and space, the woman I love most will always be you, and I will never betray you. If I do something to let you down, you can punish me, even if you kill me, I will not have any complaints. As a man who stands tall and upright, I will also protect you well and will not let you get hurt again."
Thinking of what happened today, Qu Yanbai couldn't help but sigh: "It was me who failed to protect you in time today. I want to thank Xiaoxue. If it weren't for her..."
Manman felt sad again when she thought of Xiaoxue's current appearance. Her tears fell onto the lake surface unconsciously. Suddenly, the waves began to shake violently. "What's going on?" Before Manman had time to wipe away her tears, she saw some strange pictures on the lake surface again. It had nothing to do with the two of them, but rather the evil spirit that hurt Xiaoxue.
The evil spirit moved flexibly in the snow, and he could also change color according to the surrounding environment. Now he was completely white, blending with the color of the snow, but he was injured somewhere on his body, so some blood would be left from time to time. He returned to his hiding place, cut off the tumor on his clavicle with a sharp blade, and then smeared the juice on his wounds. The wounds began to recover immediately, and the evil spirit boy also showed a comfortable expression. Suddenly, he seemed to have discovered something unusual, stood up, and looked in the direction of Manman and Qu Yanbai, as if he really saw them.
Manman stepped back a few steps in horror, and saw the evil spirit boy baring his teeth, revealing a mouth full of fangs, and roaring at them. Then the ripples gradually calmed down, and the evil spirit boy disappeared.
But this was enough to make Manman feel frightened. They could see the evil spirit, but the evil spirit might not be able to see them.
Thinking about the use of the tumor on his collarbone, Manman suddenly remembered a book about strange beasts that he had read before. It was left by the ancients and was originally read as a legend. However, Manman remembered that this evil spirit overlapped with that kind of strange beast.
The strange beasts in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are all creatures that existed in reality, but they were passed down by the ancients in a different form of illustrations. Modern people can find the corresponding creatures for the strange beasts that were surprising at the time, but the illustrations are too abstract to make it difficult to distinguish them.
"It looks like an owl, with green feathers and a red beak, and can speak with a human tongue. It is called a parrot." This is the description of the parrot in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". However, for people at that time, it was a creature they had never seen before. Modern people know that it is a green parrot. At that time, the green parrot's habitat was in the far south-central region and did not belong to the Central Plains countries.
Could it be that aliens have already appeared in the ancient times, but their numbers were few and they were good at hiding, so humans never suspected this?
Manman immediately turned around and came to the bookshelf and started looking through them. There were many ancient books here. She only had a general impression and needed to see what the ancient books said for details.
Qu Yanbai saw her frantically searching for something. Finally, Manman found the book on the top shelf, but she was too short to reach it. Qu Yanbai stepped forward and took it down for her. Manman thanked him and immediately began to look through the contents.
"Its shape is like a human, its face is like a demon, its color can change, its tumor can be used as medicine, and its trace is hard to find. It is called a spirit." Manman was surprised. The book said that the tumor of the evil spirit can cure all diseases and detoxify all poisons. It is something the evil spirit uses to save its life. Since it can save itself, then maybe it can also be used to save Xiaoxue. It clearly said above that it can be used to detoxify all poisons. I wonder if the virus can be treated.
Turning the page again, Manman confirmed her thoughts. The book had already written out the entire process of making the medicine. "We need to find that evil spirit so that we can save Xiaoxue. The medicine is ready, let's go back now!"
Qu Yanbai nodded, and after they came out, they appeared in Qin Muxue's space again.
Shi Yan was guarding beside Qin Muxue. Although he had controlled the decay of her body, Qin Muxue's breath had gradually weakened. Shi Yan was helpless and felt desperate again, "Xiaoxue, hold on..."
He would rather die than see Qin Muxue suffer like this.
Qin Muxue was in a daze, as if she had returned to her college days. This time, she no longer entangled with the scumbag, and she and Manman were good friends who could talk about anything.
Shi Yan did not like her so humbly. Instead, he bravely found an opportunity to confess his love to her. After thinking it over again and again, Qin Muxue accepted his confession and they became campus lovers.
In her dream, she also saw a man who was about to disappear from her memory, Sheng Xingyuan. He looked at her with extremely sad eyes...
Manman boiled two pots of medicine. One was for external use, which was added into the bathtub and used with spiritual spring water. The other was for internal use. She asked Shi Yan to help Qin Muxue up and pour the medicine into her mouth.
Unfortunately, she was unconscious now, and couldn't swallow the medicine poured into her mouth. Shi Yan volunteered and said, "Let me do it."
Manman also knew the relationship between the two, so she tacitly walked aside and pulled Qu Yanbai over.
Shi Yan did not hesitate at all. He put the bitter medicine into his mouth, leaned against her lips devoutly, and poured the medicine into her. He repeated this action several times until the medicine in the bowl was gone.
He didn't have any fantasies, his only hope was that Xiaoxue would wake up quickly after drinking the medicine.
Manman walked up to him and said, "These medicines can only temporarily sustain her life. If we want to save Xiaoxue, we must find the evil spirit!"
