"Old man, do you live here alone?"
Jiang Li didn't talk to the "savage" until he had filled his stomach. However, this time, instead of an answer, he received one strange roar after another.
It was like he suddenly went crazy.
The 'savage' suddenly jumped up from the stone pier, roaring "Ahhhh" strangely, and rushed towards Jiang Li.
First, the jar on the stone table was knocked to the ground, then the bamboo shed next to it was overturned, and finally, even the stove in the yard was overturned by him.
Jiang Li dodged all the way until he forced her out of the hut.
At first, Jiang Li thought he was trying to scare her on purpose and drive her away.
But later I found that something was wrong.
The old man didn't seem to be attacking her, but rather himself.
It was not until Jiang Li retreated to the bamboo forest that the old man began to roll on the ground again, banging his head against the ground, looking extremely painful.
Jiang Li waited until the old man was completely silent before slowly approaching.
When I walked closer, I saw that the old man had hit his head on a rock and fainted.
As soon as Jiang Li placed her index finger on his pulse, the system space immediately became lively.
After looking around and seeing no one around, Jiang Li didn't care and just took out the contents of the space medicine box.
It turned out to be the 'detoxification pill'.
Jiang Li put it under her nose and sniffed it gently. It was the special version with spiritual spring water added.
It seems that the old man in front of me is seriously poisoned.
After Jiang Li fed the detoxification pills to the old man, he walked towards the hut, picked up the wooden basin that had fallen on the ground, and went to the spring to wash it clean.
This was the scene that Old Man Wu saw when he came with his four disciples.
The woman wrapped a bandage around the head of the person lying on the ground.
Finally, tie a bow.
If we were to ask who the person on the ground is, who else could appear here except that person?
When Old Man Wu saw the scene in front of him, he almost fainted, holding his chest.
"princess!"
Bai Mo screamed and rushed over.
"Princess, are you okay?!"
My God, Bai Mo thought the princess would get lost in Milin. He kept thinking that if the princess starved to death in there, Prince Jingling would hang him up and not give him food or water for ten days and ten nights until he starved to death and turned into a dried corpse...
He even thought that, given his mother's temperament, she would probably throw his body in a mass grave and let wild dogs eat it all...
And the princess' brothers would probably destroy Medicine King Valley and avenge the princess...
"I'm fine, why do you look a lot older..."
Jiang Li stood up and looked at Bai Mo.
Bai Mo: ...Anxiety makes people age faster.
Lian Qiao was just about to go over to see Jiang Li, but unexpectedly, the next moment, he was almost knocked away by his own master.
“Master!”
Old Man Wu howled and pounced on the figure on the ground.
"Master, are you okay?! Wake up!"
Seeing that several disciples were still standing there in a daze, he quickly shouted, "What are you still standing there for? Hurry and carry your master inside!"
…
After a few sticks of incense.
Bai Mo touched the tip of his nose, glanced at the old man lying on the wooden couch, then glanced at the old man sitting next to him crying, and asked in a low voice: "So, Master, when you told us that there was an old monster in this Milin, were you talking about our Grandmaster?"
"Bang!"
Qi Rui slapped Bai Mo on the head, "What an old freak! You have no respect for your elders!"
Old Man Wu snorted, "These are all the secrets of Medicine King Valley. There are too many things involved. What do you youngsters know?"
"If my guess is correct, the secret that Wugu Lord mentioned is that there was a traitor in Yaowang Valley who not only dared to poison the royal family, but also betrayed his master and ancestors, and harmed his own master, right?"
Old Man Wu was stunned when he heard this, "You...how do you know?"
Jiang Li shrugged and continued, "Just attacking the Queen Mother is enough to kill the people of Medicine King Valley ten thousand times over. It's just that the late emperor was kind and let you go."
"Everyone thinks that Medicine King Valley is secluded from the world to avoid being hunted by the royal family. In reality, it's because you're worried that if the story of you betraying your teacher and ancestors gets out, you'll be ridiculed by the world."
Previously in the capital, when Jiang Li wanted to persuade Qi Rui to let Yaowang Valley agree to cooperate with the royal family, Jiang Li had gone to the palace to see the emperor.
The royal family had no intention of hunting down Yaowang Valley. Only the emperor knew about it, not even Gu Qingchen.
But the reason for spreading the rumor at the time was to force Wu Youjin to show up, thinking that he would at least consider the interests of his people. But he didn't expect that person to be so completely ruthless that he didn't care at all.
“That’s enough!”
Old Man Wu roared, then said, "Stop talking."
Apart from that damn traitor, he was the only one who knew about the terrible things that happened back then.
He wanted to keep it to himself so that after his death, the world would not know about it at all, and their Medicine King Valley would not be laughed at by the world.
"Master..." Lian Qiao whispered, "Is what the princess said... true?"
It was the first time that Jiang Li heard Lian Qiao call her Princess seriously. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at her. As a result, the girl who had always been naughty had tears all over her face.
Old Man Wu was silent for a while, then said, "No, she is not from the valley, how could she..."
"Master!" Lian Qiao growled softly, "Don't lie to me!"
"Please... please..." Lian Qiao trembled all over as she spoke. "Is he really my... grandfather?"
"You lied to me back then, didn't you? My grandfather isn't dead at all, right?!"
Following the direction of Lian Qiao's finger, everyone looked at the old man lying on the wooden couch.
Lian Qiao is the granddaughter of the master of Yaowang Valley. Old Man Wu has never told this to anyone because after the incident, Lian Qiao's father died outside to avenge his father. When Old Man Wu received the news, Lian Qiao was only about three years old.
Lian Qiao lost her mother when she was young and has been living with her father and grandfather since childhood.
But after the old man was poisoned, he often couldn't control his behavior and would go crazy without warning from time to time. Every time he went crazy, he was extremely harmful and couldn't be controlled at all.
Old Man Wu tried many times but couldn't stop it.
I had no choice but to agree with the old man and tell everyone that he had died of illness, and then leave him alone in this cave to prevent the poison from accidentally hurting others.
Originally, Lian Qiao could have studied medicine with her grandfather. It was for this reason that Old Man Wu had no choice but to accept Lian Qiao as his second disciple and raise her.
"He is an old monster." Old Man Wu said slowly.
Lian Qiao shook his head, "He's not a monster! He's my grandpa!"
From childhood to adulthood, in order to prevent Lian Qiao from knowing about this, Old Man Wu repeatedly told them how terrible the old monster in Mi Lin was.
Lian Qiao is always the first girl to be scared and cry.
But now, Lian Qiao no longer felt any fear at all.
Lian Qiao shook off the hand of her senior brother who was trying to stop her and walked towards the wooden couch.
She gently lifted the old man's hair until she could see his scarred face clearly.
