Chapter 185 The Demon Cult Witch 14

A lot of things happened on the day of the sword-fighting conference, and Yao Rong told A Xi everything.

A Xi said calmly: "If I had heard what Dr. Xie and the others said a few months ago, I would definitely feel sad. But now, I won't."

Maybe it's because she has been disappointed too many times.

Maybe it's because they are no longer worth wasting her feelings.

Yao Rong was silent for a moment before she calmed down and said to A Xi: "I'm glad to hear you say that. Because when you don't have any hope for them, you can face the truth. I'm also very sad to hear you say that. Because I know that before you gave up this relationship, you must have experienced many disappointments."

Like an inflated balloon suddenly punctured by a thumbtack, A Xi's calmness finally showed a crack.

She lowered her head and hid her wet eyes: "What's next?"

"Let's start with a few questions." Yao Rong said, "The first question is what you asked me. What is the relationship between you and me?"

Along with this question, many pictures and sounds appeared in Axi's mind.

- "Little girl, which sect are you from? Could it be that you are lost in this mountain like me?"

- "You just need to remember that I am the person in this world who likes you to be well the most. Other people's kindness to you may be conditional, but my love for you is unconditional."

...

Finally, Axi's eyes turned to the pot of daylilies.

Daylilies can be called forget-me-nots, and can also be called mother flowers.

A long time ago, the predecessor... no, her biological mother, had already placed the answer in front of her.

"Mother."

Ah Xi's eyes curved slightly, and she called out the name that she had rehearsed many times in her heart.

Yao Rong's eyes softened, and she pushed the plate of chestnut cake in front of Ah Xi: "In the past, your favorite thing to eat was chestnut cake."

Ah Xi picked up the chestnut cake and took a bite. The sweet and soft taste quickly conquered her, and she couldn't help but take two more bites.

She no longer remembers, but the body's preferences will not lie.

Yao Rong also picked up a piece: "The second question is about my identity."

This is a completely free question, and Ah Xi guessed it a long time ago.

But Yao Rong would specifically ask this question and put this question second, of course there is a reason.

If Yao Rong is the so-called leader of the demon cult, then Ah Xi's identity as her daughter is also obvious.

Ah Xi obviously guessed Yao Rong's intention: "You are the master of Juexian Pavilion, and I am the junior master of Juexian Pavilion, right?"

"Yes." Yao Rong smiled, "Do you know your real name?"

Ah Xi shook her head.

"Your name is Su Yingxi. Su for destiny, Ying for surplus, and Xi for stream."

This name seemed to have awakened long-dormant memories.

Countless fragments flashed back in Ah Xi's mind, the mountains and rivers of Juexian Pavilion, the white cranes of Juexian Pavilion, the people of Juexian Pavilion...

But soon, Ah Xi's mind unconsciously emerged with the mountains and rivers of Xuyang Sect, the big geese of Xuyang Sect, and the people of Xuyang Sect...

These two memories represent two completely different lives of hers.

They collided violently in her mind, making her unable to distinguish what was real and what was fake.

Ah Xi supported her forehead with one hand, with a look of pain between her brows.

Yao Rong stood up subconsciously and stepped forward to hold Ah Xi's shoulders.

Ah Xi's head was still hurting, but she tried hard to hold Yao Rong's hand, holding the only truth she could see, as if to draw strength from Yao Rong.

Yao Rong held Ah Xi's hand in return and transferred his internal strength into her body.

Ah Xi's body was a little exhausted, and she leaned on Yao Rong's shoulder. Her confused heart finally found a place to rest.

Although the memories of living in Juexian Pavilion have only been restored a little and are very vague, Ah Xi remembered her father who loved her, her grandfather who treated her like a treasure, and the elders who watched her grow up...

They would take her around Juexian Pavilion, take her to many places, and even took her deep into the desert to watch the sunset over the Yellow River.

She laughed and cried, and never needed to suppress her emotions.

On the other hand, the memories of living in Xuyang Sect, although clear, compared with the memories of Juexian Pavilion, Xuyang Sect was like a specially built stage, and she was just an actor living on the stage. What people she met, where she went, and what she learned were all deliberately arranged by others.

What is real and what is fake? Do we need to make more judgments?

After a while, Ah Xi's eyebrows slowly relaxed: "Mom, I feel better. Let's continue."

This time, it was Ah Xi's turn to ask Yao Rong questions.

The first question she asked was to the point: "Why did I live in the Xuyang Sect for six years?"

Yao Rong told Ah Xi everything, not avoiding her own mistakes.

Ah Xi shook her head and said, "It doesn't matter. No one wants this to happen."

It can only be said that fate plays tricks on people.

Yao Rong said, "No matter what, I have to apologize to you."

Ah Xi said generously, "Then I will accept your apology."

Not wanting Yao Rong to think about this matter anymore, Ah Xi quickly changed the subject: "Dad and grandfather..."

"They all passed away. On the day you disappeared."

Ah Xi was stunned, not caring about the sadness, staring at Yao Rong with concern: "You lost your last three relatives in one day, mother, how did you spend those years?" Yao Rong

was also stunned. She didn't expect Ah Xi's first reaction to be like this: "In those years, there was not a day that I didn't want to avenge you."

"That must have been very hard." "It's

all in the past."

It's all in the past. It doesn't mean that it's not hard, but that time will sink the sadness and pain.

Ah Xi couldn't help but lean on Yao Rong again.

No one spoke for a while.

The mother and daughter snuggled up to each other, as if they were getting close to each other and comforting each other.

After a long while, Ah Xi felt a little thirsty and poured herself another glass of wine: "My third question is, why did the Xuyang Sect do this? Taking me away, making me lose my memory, and instilling these things in me, what's the point?"

Yao Rong told Ah Xi everything that would happen in the original plot.

When hearing these words, Ah Xi's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated a lot, and when she came to her senses, cold sweat broke out on her back.

For some reason, she always felt that if her mother hadn't taken her away from the Xuyang Sect, all the things her mother said would become a reality.

But, fortunately, fortunately...

things have not developed to the point where they are most irreversible.

The system complained about Yao Rong: [I've never seen you spoil the plot so much. You're breaking the rules, don't you know that?]

Yao Rong responded with two "hmm" sounds, and didn't hear what the system said at all.

The breeze was gentle and the moon was bright, and the whole courtyard was full of light. Yao Rong picked up the wine bottle and refilled the two people's glasses.

When she put the wine glass down again, she felt her eyes, ears and cheeks were all hot.

Ah Xi put her palms to her face, trying to cool herself down, but she felt more dizzy.

"I'm sleepy." She whispered.

Yao Rong then noticed Ah Xi's condition: "Yes, she is drunk."

"No."

"Drunkards like to say they are not drunk."

Ah Xi shook her head: "I asked the shopkeeper, and he said that this wine is not intoxicating and has the fragrance of peach blossoms, so it is very suitable for women to drink."

"Have you ever drunk before?"

"No."

"Maybe your alcohol tolerance is not very good." Yao Rong explained to her patiently.

Ah Xi was persuaded and muttered, "Maybe he was drunk."

"Do you feel bad?"

Ah Xi covered her chest and said, "My heart is a little blocked."

Yao Rong coaxed, "Then I'll help you go back to sleep. You won't feel sad when you fall asleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up."

Ah Xi followed Yao Rong back to the room obediently, grabbing Yao Rong's sleeve to prevent her from leaving, "Mom, sleep with me. I might have nightmares if I sleep alone."

I don't know if it was because Yao Rong was sleeping next to her, but Ah Xi didn't have a sweet dream that night. She remembered a lot of happy times in Juexian Pavilion, and finally woke up to Yao Rong's knock on the door.

"There's millet porridge in the kitchen, drink some after you wash up."

Ah Xi didn't drink much wine last night, so Yao Rong didn't make her sobering soup, but simply cooked some millet porridge to fill her stomach.

After a bowl of hot porridge, Ah Xi felt much better. She told Yao Rong that she had recovered some of her memory last night: "Let's pack up some things and set off as soon as possible to return to Juexian Pavilion."

Yao Rong was helpless and amused: "No matter how urgent it is, it won't take a few days. I thought, let's wait until your memory is fully restored. Besides, you have been providing free clinics in Qingfeng Town for several months. If you suddenly leave, you must say hello to the people in the town. Otherwise, if the people suddenly get sick in the future and can't find you, they will be anxious."

Ah Xi patted her forehead. She was really anxious.

Today happened to be the day of the free clinic. While taking the patient's pulse and dispensing rheumatism ointment, Ah Xi told the patient that she was leaving.

The originally quiet team suddenly exploded.

"Little doctor, didn't you buy a yard in our Qingfeng Town? Why are you moving away?"

In their opinion, only those who want to settle down here will buy a house.

"Yes, yes, little doctor, has someone in our town upset you? If so, please tell us and we will bring the person here to apologize to you." Ah

Xi said quickly, "No, no, no, no one has offended me. I just have some things to deal with and I have to leave."

The patients looked at each other, and one of them sighed, "If you leave, we won't be able to see a doctor easily when we get sick in the future."

"Yes, there are also rheumatism ointments. What should we do when we run out of those?"

Still an old man who is much older than him couldn't stand it anymore: "You complain so much, aren't you making it difficult for the little doctor?"

"The young doctor is kind-hearted and is willing to provide free medical services here for three or four months. She has helped us a lot. She is still young and has a long way to go. You can't constrain her and let her stay in our small place for the rest of her life. If you have taken advantage of someone, just be happy about it. There is no such thing as taking advantage of someone for a lifetime."

The old man should be quite prestigious in the town. His words made many people blush.

They admitted that they all had some selfish motives when they said those complaints.

It's just that everyone is relatively simple and honest, and when these selfish motives are exposed, they feel particularly ashamed.

Ah Xi looked at the old man gratefully, then stood up and said, "I like the customs and people of Qingfeng Town very much. If possible, I would like to stay here for a while, but unfortunately, I have a reason to leave."

"As for the rheumatism ointment, don't worry, I will arrange it before I leave, and I will definitely not let you lack the ointment."

As these patients dispersed, the news that Ah Xi was leaving quickly spread throughout Qingfeng Town.

However, with the old man's words in front of them, no one dared to say anything to Ah Xi, otherwise it would seem like they were deliberately playing the emotional card to prevent Ah Xi from leaving.

But without saying it, they all showed their reluctance to let Ah Xi go with their actions.

The fruits, vegetables, fish and shrimps piled up at the door became more and more.

No matter how Ah Xi told everyone, when he woke up the next day, the door was still full of food.

Ah Xi and Yao Rong could not finish all the food by themselves. In order to avoid waste, they had to share these things with their neighbors.

At Yao Rong's suggestion, Ah Xi picked enough herbs and chose a suitable day for the people in need to come. She would teach them how to make rheumatism ointment.

Although this method is not perfect, it is one of the better methods that can be thought of.

For Ah Xi, who has been immersed in medicine for many years, making rheumatism ointment is a piece of cake, but it is not for ordinary people.

It took a whole day just to teach them to recognize all the herbs.

However, this busyness also diluted the pain of memory recovery.

Ah Xi digested the memory faster and faster.

When the common people had mastered the method of making rheumatism ointment, it was time for Yao Rong and Ah Xi to leave.

A streak of paleness appeared on the horizon, and the morning light lazily fell on the town that had not yet woken up.

As if they were just going out, Yao Rong and Ah Xi did not bring too much luggage. The heaviest thing on them, besides the medical books, was the pot of daylilies that were carefully cared for.

"Let's go." Yao Rong said.

Ah Xi stood at the door, and her eyes swept over the plants and trees in the yard for the last time.

Most of the flowers and plants that had been transplanted before survived. If the flowers bloom next spring, the yard will definitely become very beautiful.

It's a pity that she didn't have the chance to appreciate it.

"Mom, let's go." Ah Xi locked the door herself.

"If you can't bear to leave, come here and live for a few months every few years, just to relax."

Ah Xi laughed and his steps became much lighter: "This is a good idea."

Because Ah Xi can't ride a horse, and it's almost December, Yao Rong and Ah Xi discussed and decided to follow the escort company to the north. They had to go to the city to meet up with the escort company. Yao

Rong and Ah Xi had just turned into a street when there was a sudden noise in the closed yard. A middle-aged man opened the door and said to his family: "You should go back and rest. It's still early. You just got sick... Little doctor!?" "

What? The little doctor is here?"

The wife walked quickly to the man's side. Seeing Ah Xi and Yao Rong dressed for a trip, the surprise on his wife's face froze.

The man nudged his wife with his elbow.

His wife came back to her senses and waved to Axi: "Goodbye, little doctor."

Axi smiled and said, "Goodbye."

After walking another hundred meters, Wang Laowu's house opened the door.

When he saw Axi and Yao Rong, Wang Laowu did not say anything, nor did he make any unnecessary movements. He just stood there quietly and watched them go away, as if he was watching his relatives go away.

Axi also saw the dark-skinned boy who gave her hibiscus during the Lower Yuan Festival: "Thank you for the flowers."

The boy exclaimed in surprise, obviously not expecting that Axi still remembered him: "I'm glad you like it!"

When she arrived at the market, Axi met even more acquaintances.

They did not stop her from leaving, but just smiled and said goodbye to her, which made Axi feel reluctant and nostalgic for no reason.

At noon, Yao Rong and A Xi arrived at the escort agency smoothly.

The escort agency was very happy to have A Xi join them, and they did not charge them any travel expenses. They just hoped that A Xi could help treat people who were sick on the road.

A Xi had no objection.

As for Yao Rong beside A Xi, many people ignored her and thought she was just a bystander.

Of course, everyone in the escort agency knew that Yao Rong was A Xi's mother, and even for A Xi's sake, they would not treat Yao Rong badly.

Yao Rong joked with A Xi privately: "I benefited from you."

The journey was relatively smooth, but the further north they went, the colder the weather became, and the snow gradually became heavier.

The escorts were almost all from the south, and had never experienced the winter in the north, so many of them fell ill.

Fortunately, A Xi was there, so there was no big problem.

On this day, the escorts were walking on the road. The chief escort in charge of escorting the convoy suddenly looked frightened and asked them to turn around and retreat for a while.

"Chief escort, what happened?" A Xi opened the curtain of the carriage and asked.

The chief escort frowned and said, "Doctor A Xi, there are fresh traces of fighting ahead. Judging from the depth of the traces, both sides are not easy to deal with. We'd better avoid them first."

Yao Rong, who was sitting in the carriage with A Xi, slowly opened his eyes and held the long sword beside him: "I'm afraid we can't avoid it."

The chief escort's heart skipped a beat and looked up.

In front of the empty place, several figures appeared again, like several men in black besieging a middle-aged man.

The besieged middle-aged man was covered in blood, and his movements became slower and slower, obviously exhausted.

As if he had discovered the escort company, a man in black broke away from the team and rushed towards the escort company. The

chief escort's face changed drastically, and just as he was about to call on others to fight back, Yao Rong had already walked out of the sheltered carriage and rushed into the wind and snow .

"Doctor Axi, your mother..."

"These days, my mother and I have been taken care of by the chief escort. Let my mother take care of this little trouble."

The chief escort was stunned, knowing that he had completely misjudged. He

thought that Doctor Axi's mother was just a bystander, but it turned out that they, the escorts, were the bystanders.

When the chief escort recovered from the shock of facing the reality and looked forward again, his eyes almost popped out.

What about those men in black who looked tough?

What about the middle-aged man who was besieged?

How come they all fell down?

What did he miss in such a short time? ! !
