fairy wife

Dabai ran back and forth at their feet, like a rolling, fluffy fat ball.

As the sun rose, Qiuqiu raised her hand to cover her forehead, shielding herself from the scorching sun.

When Shi'er took her in his arms and walked forward, he paid attention to walking on the sunny side.

Qiuqiu walked a few more steps, and suddenly found that the sun was no longer shining so that she could not keep her eyes open.

Shi'er blocked the sunlight for her and let her walk in his shadow.

Qiuqiu turned her head to look at him, and smiled quietly.

They came to the edge of a pool of water.Qiuqiu was a little puzzled, not knowing why she stopped here.

"Here is the fire."

Qiuqiu froze for a moment: "It's..."

Qiuqiu looked down at the pool.

The place where the pool is close to the shore is very clear, but the pool is so deep that you can't see the bottom at all.

Shi'er bent down to scoop up a handful of water.

Drops of water slipped from between his fingers. Under the sunlight, those drops of water refracted colorful crystal light, and fell back to the surface of the water with a splash.

Not far away, a slight ripple appeared on the calm water surface, like a faint crease suddenly appearing on the surface of a piece of smooth silk cloth.

Huo'er's back came out of the water, and he came towards this side quickly, and a straight snow-white water line was drawn on the water.

Huo'er jumped out of the water, squeaked and jumped into Qiuqiu's arms.

Qiuqiu supported it with her hand, and Huo'er's head rubbed back and forth against her hand, almost overwhelmed by her enthusiasm.

"It seems... a little different."

Qiuqiu was a little puzzled after not seeing the fire for several days.

The scales on Huo'er's body became dull.There are even a few scales that have fallen off, just like the worn gray armor that has fallen off the armor of the army soldiers.The horns on its head also seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, dusty and without brilliance.

"Is Huo'er sick?"

"It has to shed its skin again." Shi'er reached out and gently covered Huo'er's body: "This is the ninth time. After shedding this time, Huo'er will no longer be what it is now."

Qiuqiu took a deep breath: "Isn't it, very dangerous?"

"It won't be easy, but it shouldn't be too dangerous because you and I are here." Shi'er looked up at the sky, the sun was hanging high above his head.

It is noon.

"If it goes well, it will start at midnight tonight. It can end before dawn."

Qiuqiu immediately asked nervously, "What preparations are you going to make?"

Of course it takes a lot of preparation.

Other medicinal materials, such as Danshi, were prepared with the help of others.

Shi'er and Qiuqiu are not easy either.

When Huo'er came out of his shell, he used his blood and the spiritual power of the two of them to catalyze it.Otherwise, Huo'er may never be able to hatch out of the shell.

Qiuqiu was not ambiguous: "Bleeding? How much?"

"No, I don't need blood this time." Shi'er took out a jade box.He took out a palm-sized Qiankun bag from the box.

He dumped something snow-white from the bag.

Qiuqiu picked up a piece and looked at it: "Is this... an eggshell?"

Dragon's eggshell.

Of course, although both eggs and dragon eggs are eggs, the shell of a dragon's egg looks extraordinary at first glance.The eggshell is as shiny as jade, and if you look carefully, there is still a faint light flowing on the surface of the eggshell, as if it is covered with a layer of diamond powder.

There were many pieces of the broken shell.Some are larger and more complete.Some are smaller and piled aside.

If you put them all together, you can probably restore them into a complete dragon egg.

Qiuqiu carefully put down the eggshell.

The two eggshells collided together, making a crisp sound like gold and stone colliding.

This eggshell will definitely play a big role.

Although Qiuqiu didn't know how to use it, the eggshell was like a part of the fire.It was born from the mother's body, wrapped in an eggshell, which must have played more than just a protective role.

Now Huo'er has encountered such a big hurdle.This eggshell will come in handy.

"It shouldn't be necessary to use all of them." Shi'er took the larger pieces back into the Qiankun bag and put them back into the jade box, leaving some scattered pieces outside: "Grind it into powder."

Qiuqiu carefully handled the jade pestle and mortar.Bit by bit, smash the eggshells into slag, then grind the slag into crumbs, and finally grind the crumbs into powder.

She didn't even dare to breathe, she was afraid that if she got too angry, the powder would be blown away, which would be a huge loss.

Finally, use a sieve to sieve.

The powder floated down one after another, and the brilliance like silver stars flickered brightly and secretly.

So lovely.

It's like a meteor shower across the night, magnificent and fantastic.

The powder was used by Shi'er to make medicine.

The person from the pharmacy who delivered the medicine arrived.

In order to be cautious, Shi'er has placed heavy restrictions in Fengxian Pavilion, and outsiders cannot enter.

Qiuqiu put the silk shoes on her feet and went out to receive the medicine.

Speaking of it, it's a coincidence.

Qiuqiu recognized the woman who came to deliver the medicine.

When she was in Fang Rudao, Qiuqiu met two people from Feng Jiu, she already knew that the male was Lin Su, and the female was this girl.

Her attitude was not good at that time.

She handed over a medicine box.

The box was so heavy that Qiuqiu almost missed it.

It is so heavy, there must be a lot of things inside.

Qiuqiu said sincerely: "It's troublesome for you, go back and help me, and the elder of our medicine department will also tell you about your hard work."

The woman didn't answer.

She is looking at Qiuqiu.

That gaze was very direct.

Qiuqiu was used to being sized up.

Everyone in Feng Jiu must be curious about her sudden appearance, and they will definitely not accept her right away.

These autumns and autumns are mentally prepared.

"You look different from before..." the woman suddenly said, but what she said surprised Qiuqiu.

Does she know who she is?

It is difficult for outsiders to believe this kind of past and present things unless they have personally experienced them.

Most of them will think she is a liar.

"I didn't hear anyone say it." The woman said, "I guessed it myself and read it myself. The peak master is stubborn. If he would change his mind and fall in love with other women, why would it take nearly 200 years?" What about it? The first time I saw you, I thought you were carefully trained by Ziyu Pavilion to set up a trap, just to make the Peak Lord fall for it."

Qiuqiu couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that... there were many people doing this in the past?"

Qiuqiu thought of He Meijun. It is said that she looks very similar to her before, and her temperament and makeup are also trying to be similar.There is another one, the girl with He Meijun seems to be named Fan?It is also the same situation.

It can be seen that there are many people who have such an idea.They certainly weren't the first.

"Yeah, it hasn't been broken in these years, but whoever it is, no matter how much it looks like, it's a waste of effort." When the woman mentioned those people, she showed an undisguised contemptuous expression: "Fake is fake. No amount of pretense can make it real—but you're different."

Qiuqiu didn't expect to come out to get a medicine, and there was an unexpected harvest.

"By the way, my name is Zheng Xiuru."

"Miss Xiuru."

When we met last time, Qiuqiu seemed to call her senior.

But it is obviously inappropriate to call her senior now.

The relationship between her and Shi'er is already like this, it doesn't matter if she wants to be someone else's junior, but Shi'er can't be dragged down by her.

This Xiuru girl.Was it her friend before?Otherwise, how could she guess it.See something that others don't?

Xiuru guessed what she was thinking, and said bluntly: "Actually, we didn't have friendship before. If we are serious, we still have enmity. I was provoked by others and plotted against you. Fortunately, you didn't have any serious problems. Because of this incident, I He was punished by the peak master and locked up in a dark place for decades."

what……

This really surprised Qiuqiu.

It turned out to be an enemy.

Well.I heard before that sometimes the people who know you best are not your friends.but the enemy...

Isn't this really just casual talk?

Even Lin Su didn't recognize her at the beginning, but Xiuru accurately determined her identity with some clues.

"I don't hate you, don't be afraid." Xiuru said: "I suffered a lot during those years of being locked up. I hated you a lot at first, but then...it took too long, and I gradually stopped hating you. You know, the place where I was imprisoned was extremely dark, and it was so dark that it was hopeless. After a long time, I discovered that a very faint ray of light would come in through the cracks in the rocks above my head at noon every day, and it was very dark. For a short time, without a cup of tea, it will disappear again. I started to use that light to judge the time, and I waited to see that light every day..."

really weird.

She has never told anyone about Xiuru's experiences, whether it is her former friends Chunyu and the others, or her grandfather who loves her more than his life, she has never told anyone.

But today he said it so easily.

Facing this... the little girl who should be her enemy.

"At that time, I thought about a lot of things, all of which were random thoughts and unanswered questions. Where did we come from, where did the water in the sky come from, where did the sun, moon, and stars come from, and finally...where will everything go... …When does time start, and does time really have an end? If there is an end, what is after the end… See, I almost forgot about you afterwards, and I don’t even remember why I was locked up .On the day I was released, I suddenly broke through the seventh level of the family-inherited mental method, and even surpassed my grandfather."

Qiuqiu was fascinated by what she said.

No, Xiuru is not just thinking about it, there are countless people who have thought about these issues throughout the ages.Until modern times, people can not fully answer.

But people are always thinking, asking, searching.

As long as you don't give up, people will always know more and more.

Hearing that she had made a breakthrough in her mind, Qiuqiu even said, "Congratulations."

Xiuru glanced at her.

She stood up and saluted Qiuqiu solemnly.

Qiuqiu didn't know what she meant, so she hurriedly returned the gift.

"I owe you an apology." Xiuru looked at her and said very calmly: "I was released back then, and you are no longer alive. I thought, I owe you an apology, and I have nowhere to say it. Now I can finally say it in front of you. I feel very sorry for what happened back then."

Qiuqiu shook her head: "It's okay... It's been so many years, and you have suffered so much, so don't worry about it anymore."

Xiuru smiled: "But after so many years, I still don't like you at all."

Qiuqiu was taken aback for a moment, but also laughed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
