Hunting Heart Little Mengxian: Rebirth and Raising a Wolf

Chapter 17 Responsible for him?
Under the bright and dazzling snow-white sunlight, the slender figure in a masculine gray Taoist robe was sitting on the stone steps outside the main hall of the dilapidated temple with his knees hugged.

It can be seen that only such a posture can temporarily prevent her thin body from being attacked by the cold wind; however, her back is still shivering a little.

"Wolf boy" carefully moved his gaze out of the crack of the door that kept leaking cold air into the room, and passed over her shoulder from behind her.

He suddenly discovered that in front of the little female cultivator, there was a temporary stove built with crushed stones, and the small flame under the stove was burning vigorously.

A broken earthen jar of just the right depth was supported on the stove. It was steaming hot. The mouth of the earthen jar was open, and there was some soup in it that he couldn't tell what ingredients were in it.

However, just based on the bursts of fragrant smell coming out of the boiling, it makes people feel very appetizing.

At this moment, I saw the back of the little nun in front of her in a slender gray robe stretched out her small white hands, but it seemed to be groping for something in mid-air.

"Ouch..."

As soon as he touched the edge of the hot crock, Jiu Xiaohan quickly retracted his hands and put them on his earlobes.

Across the door, looking at Jiu Xiaohan with his back turned to him outside, the "wolf boy" almost couldn't help laughing out loud, laughing at her secretly in his heart:
"This stupid and cute little female cultivator is really stupid! Don't you know that the thing on the fire will burn your hands?"

In addition, he incidentally, even her master gave a sarcasm by the way:
"Oh, Wuweizi, you are such a shrewd and calculating bull-nosed Taoist!"

"Why would he break the rules he has established for so many years and accept you as his female apprentice for a clumsy and silly girl like you?"

"Impossible! Hmph, absolutely impossible..."

But, before he could finish his dark-bellied thoughts, in the blink of an eye, the "wolf boy" kicked open the broken wooden door in front of him.

Before the sleeves of Jiu Xiaohan's Taoist robe "sweeping the floor" were burned by the flying ashes, he quickly gathered a pile of cold snow from his feet, and piled it on her burning snow just in time. On the lapel of the clothes she was wearing, he helped her extinguish the small flame that almost burned her body.

"what……"

Jiu Xiaohan, who subconsciously let out a soft cry, quickly recovered his original expression of no panic.

Immediately, she turned her face slightly, symbolically turned to the direction of the "wolf boy" beside her, and gave a shallow and sweet smile.

It seemed that there was a little grateful surprise in that smile, and her voice, like honey, was the most beautiful that the teenager had heard in 17 years:
"Great! I didn't expect you to wake up so soon! How do you feel now?"

Seeing this heartless silly girl smiling sweetly at him all the time, ignoring her nearly burned sleeves and arms, and still caring about his condition, for some reason, suddenly, There was an unknown fire that surged into the heart of the young man with new wounds and old wounds.

Even though he had tried his best to restrain his anger, his tone still sounded very angry, and he responded in a muffled low voice:
"Yes! Already awake!"

After thinking about it, he still felt that it was necessary to add another sentence before he could vent his true thoughts:
"If I don't wake up again, I'm afraid, you should use yourself as firewood and light it up?!"

"Uh……?"

Hearing the boy's displeased words, Jiu Xiaohan was weakly stunned for a moment.

Her pointed little nose shrugged subconsciously, following the direction of the scorched smell floating up beside her, she searched and touched her Taoist robe cuff where a small burn hole had leaked.

Around the burning hole, there were still some wet traces left after the snow water melted in the fire, she:
"Just...thank you!"

Although, her voice was so sweet, it was good enough to make "Wolf Boy" rather let the sulking in his heart suffocate him, and he didn't want to bear to lose his temper at her anymore.

However, he still couldn't hold back, and casually asked her one more question:
"It's time to burn your sleeves, and you can still laugh?! Are you blind?"

"Yes……"

Ok?
what? ?

For a moment, the boy didn't react, he completely thought that he had heard it wrong.

Did she... just answer "yes"? ? ?

Jiu Xiaohan casually responded to his "yes", just so abruptly, as if his own extremely sharp curved short dagger had stabbed the heart of the "boy wolf".

The moment the boy raised his eyes in surprise and looked into Jiu Xiaohan's eyes...

Immediately, his whole body, from the highest hair on top of his head to all his fingers and toes, seemed to have been poured with silver water, and he was so heavy that he couldn't move, and he froze in place.

This is the first time for him to stare at her face so closely, and also, her so lovely and beautiful appearance...

Also, under the combined stimulation of the whiteness of the ground and the glare of the midday sun, her gray eyes, which have changed from weak eyesight to temporary blindness, without pupils...

This pair of gray pupilless eyes, against the flawless white skin of her face, is extremely conspicuous and eye-catching.

As if, these different eyes should not belong to her at all!

At this moment, the "wolf boy" froze in surprise.

The sudden embarrassment and embarrassment made him not know what to say to her to apologize and comfort her, so he couldn't help but stop talking:
"you you……"

Jiu Xiaohan seemed to be keenly aware of the subtle emotional changes in the other party's hesitant panting.

So, she quickly stretched out a small hand, and pulled out a pure white ribbon with a "nine" embroidered on it from the inner pocket of her Taoist robe.

Immediately afterwards, she wore it in front of her eyes very skillfully, and her gentle voice that made him feel refreshed sounded again, and she asked the boy behind her:

"Sorry, sorry! Did I scare you just now?"

Across the layer of thick white ribbon, Jiu Xiaohan held a [-]-point sincere apology, subconsciously touched his eyes with both hands, and slowly explained word by word:
"I usually take it with me at this hour. It's just that, just now, firstly, you suffered such a serious injury, and I really didn't expect you to wake up so early; Forgot to bring..."

This silly girl, what kind of strange ideas are she pretending in her mind?

who is he?
Even his own stature is haunted by evil spirit from time to time; however, every moon death day, he will show his fangs and protruding wolf toes.

Her eyes may not have any serious illness, but, at first glance, they look a little different from ordinary people, that's all.

How could this scare him?

What's more, he, what right does he have to be afraid of, a little girl who looks more pitiful than himself?

It's just, just, he can't tell the reason why, she will make him feel very distressed...

What's more, it's not the usual "pain", but the "pain" that seems familiar, heart-wrenching, and engraved into the bone marrow!
This kind of heartache made him think again, the nightmare of the bloody blue branch flower falling into the stream of Wangchuan;

This kind of heartache made him seem to see again, that Lan Jingchu whose heart was pierced by the "Gushang" sword he held tightly, died of despair, disappeared for seven lives, and said goodbye to Yin and Yang forever.

At this time, the gaze of the "boy wolf" noticed Jiu Xiaohan's palms placed in front of his eyes.

On her ten fingers, several blisters of different sizes had appeared.

Thinking about it, it must be this silly girl who was repeatedly scalded by the flames overflowing from the small homemade stove and the edge of the hot crock pot when she knew she couldn't see with her eyes and insisted on cooking.

Seeing that Jiu Xiaohan stretched out his palm again, he was about to grope for the position of the broken bowl and spoon on the ground beside her.

"Stop! Don't move! Let it go, I'll come!"

This time, the succinct and upright words of "Wolf Boy" made Jiu Xiaohan sound like a very gentle order.

Next, he was no longer the angry and stern expression that he showed just after breaking out of the door and rushing to put out the fire, but changed into a soft-spoken tone.

He took half a step forward, slowly bent down, squatted beside Jiu Xiaohan, and asked her slowly:
"What do you want to take, just tell me. Also, how long will it take for you to cook on the small fire?"

Jiu Xiaohan raised his chin, which was stained with two or three pieces of black pot bottom ash, and let his beautiful and smooth face face the direction of the noon sun on the roof, as if he was feeling the length of time and temperature.

After a while, she nodded slightly:

"It's almost time. The stew should be ready! It's [-]:[-] noon, just right. I think, let's put a little out and taste it."

The young man stretched out an arm, blocked Jiu Xiaohan's forward hand, and said:
"Oh! Alright! Just sit down and I'll help you!"

Hearing the guilt hidden in the other party's tone, Jiu Xiaohan touched the white ribbon in front of his eyes again, and quickly comforted him:

"Little brother, don't worry too much! I am not the one who just lost my eyesight, nor am I the kind of cripple who is completely blind!"

"That is……?"

Obviously, the "wolf boy" didn't dare to say anything more about her, as if he was afraid that he would inadvertently hurt this silly girl again.

Jiu Xiaohan was always smiling, sweet and beautiful, and replied to him:
"As for my eyes, it's just that I can't see the sun in the daytime, or too dazzling flames and strong lights."

"If the light is too strong, I won't be able to see anything. Of course, it won't work in the snow, and sudden blindness will appear!"

"On the contrary, at night, my eyesight will return to its original state, and there will be no problem at all. It's even better than ordinary people's eyes!"

Oh...that's how it is!

The young man suddenly realized.

No wonder, trapped in the black wolf's den in the dark underground, not only was she able to find the corner where he lived and hid without any mistakes; Smear on those white powders that stop pain and stop bleeding!
Even, in the cave with intertwined tunnels, this silly girl was able to entangle with the ten black wolf monsters for several rounds effortlessly, and finally carried him out of the cave when he fainted, allowing each other to escape smoothly .

"Wolf boy" recalled the situation at that time, when he had a fragmented consciousness, while holding the broken porcelain bowl with one hand, and the old spoon with the broken handle in the other.

I saw that he clumsily filled the thick soup bit by bit from the boiling broken earthen pot, and scooped it into the broken porcelain bowl with a few small cracks.

The taste and smell of this soup is really delicious...

When he raised the spoon and brought the hot soup to Jiu Xiaohan's mouth, she shook her head, waved her hand, and said:

"This medicine is specially prepared for you to take."

"Huh? Medicine for me? What is it?"

Looking at the fragrant hot soup in the broken porcelain bowl, and at Jiu Xiaohan, the "boy wolf" felt a little unbelievable:
"How can there be such a fragrant medicinal soup in this world?"

"Is it... really medicine?"

What he implied was actually: Could it be some kind of poisonous drug?
Sensing that the young man was hesitant, Jiu Xiaohan took out a small yellow paper bag from his cuff that had just been scalded with a burnt hole, and replied in a gentle tone:

"You just open it, use two fingertips, twist a handful out, and that's it. Put it in your medicinal soup...it tastes like medicine."

"Adding it can temporarily help you suppress the poisonous qi and blood in your body, and it can also help you relieve the interval between the reoccurrence of madness symptoms!"

As soon as he heard her say that, "Wolf boy" suddenly subconsciously became vigilant, his brows and eyes narrowed slightly, his forehead slowly wrinkled, staring at her extremely beautiful face, he asked lightly:
"You... how do you know what kind of poison is in my body?"

It seems that what he said seemed to be saying: girl, probably, the little paper bag you are holding in your palm is more likely to contain some kind of poison, right?

Jiu Xiaohan wasn't really stupid, she heard very clearly that the other party had already had some irrefutable concerns about her and the paper bag she took out.

However, she was very clear in her heart:

After all, the relationship between the two of them is, at best, just passers-by in need who once lived and died together in the wolf cave but are strangers to each other.

But at this moment, Jiu Xiaohan's expression was gentle and gentle, his voice was clear and crisp, and he said in a very warm tone:

"Don't worry! Since I rescued you from the black wolf's den, I will be responsible for you to the end!"

Uh?
Negative...responsible?
What is she responsible for him?

To what extent can she be responsible for him?
