Chapter 6: Mountain Village Witch Doctor
On the top of the snow peak.
The Howling Moon Demon Wolf fell to the ground with a thud. It rolled a few times, and then fell into the vast sea of clouds below.
At the same time, the black chain binding the little girl disappeared instantly.
"Mortal brother!" The little girl cried out loudly.
"My Howling Moon!" The man in black was shocked.
The old man in green clothes took advantage of the man in black's distraction and cut off his left arm with a sword.
"Ah."
The man in black screamed in pain. He was seriously injured, and couldn't care about picking up his severed arm, so he fled in a panic driving the black mist.
"Old Ghost Mo, the hatred of the severed arm today, I will definitely repay it a hundredfold in the future." The voice of the man in black echoed in the mountains for a long time.
The old man in green clothes didn't chase either. He put away his flying sword and walked quickly to the little girl's side.
"You girl, I told you to stay in place, why did you chase over? Was it that mortal boy who instigated you to chase over? Do you know how dangerous the situation was just now?" The words spoken by the old man in green clothes were lessons, but his eyes were full of love for his granddaughter.
"Grandpa, no. It was Ling'er who was worried about your safety."
"Alright. If you encounter such a thing again in the future, you can't take risks like this time."
After the old man in green clothes finished speaking, he took the little girl's hand and said: "Ling'er, let's go."
"No." The little girl shook her head.
"Mortal brother was swallowed by the Howling Moon Demon Wolf to save me. Grandpa, let's go down and find him." The little girl begged.
The old man in green clothes touched her head pityingly: "Ling'er, he is a mortal, swallowed by a demon wolf, and fell off the cliff, how can he still be alive."
After a pause, he said again: "This mountain is so high, presumably he has already fallen into meat mud. Don't think about it, let's go quickly."
After the old man in green clothes finished speaking, he pulled the tearful little girl, drove the flying sword, and left to the west.
The mountain top calmed down, leaving only the wooing mountain wind crying softly.
Darkness, boundless darkness.
Running, running non-stop.
Shouting, shouting loudly.
Where is the exit? Where am I?
I don't know how long I ran, I don't know how many times I shouted, Zhang Xingyu was already exhausted.
Can't get out?
No, I want to get out, I must get out.
Perhaps it was the gods who heard his shout, and a glimmer of light appeared in the pitch-black void.
Zhang Xingyu woke up from the darkness, only feeling that all the bones in his body were broken, and there was pain everywhere in his body.
He rubbed his eyes and looked at everything in front of him blankly.
Low stone house, stone bed covered with animal skin, rough stone table and stone chairs.
Standing next to the stone bed was a girl in a hemp dress, looking at herself with concern with a pair of dark, bright eyes.
This girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with big eyes, willow eyebrows, black long hair, and skin as white as snow.
Seeing Zhang Xingyu wake up, the girl showed a smile: "You woke up, that's great."
While speaking, the girl took a wooden bowl from the stone table.
The wooden bowl contained half a bowl of grass-green juice.
The girl scooped up half a spoonful of juice and fed it gently to Zhang Xingyu's mouth: "Drink the medicine, you will get better."
Zhang Xingyu drank a few sips and felt that the pain in his body had lessened a lot.
This medicine juice emitted a faint fragrance of green grass, and after drinking it, it gave people a cool feeling.
"Where is this?" Zhang Xingyu asked, his voice as low as a mosquito.
"This is Kuafu Village." The girl replied softly.
"How did I get here?" Zhang Xingyu asked while struggling to sit up.
"Don't move." The girl stopped him hurriedly.
"You fell from the top of the mountain and broke five ribs." The girl said while covering Zhang Xingyu with a thin quilt.
"Fell from the top of the mountain?" Zhang Xingyu remembered that he was swallowed into the stomach of the Howling Moon Demon Wolf.
Seeing his confused expression, the girl smiled lightly: "You are lucky. Three days ago, a demon wolf fell from the sky and smashed deeply into the water pool. The clansmen fished up the demon wolf, broke its belly and took its skin, and didn't want to find you in the demon wolf's body. At that time, you were already dying..."
The girl told slowly, and Zhang Xingyu listened quietly.
A quarter of an hour later, he had roughly figured out how he was saved.
It turned out that hidden under the vast sea of clouds surrounded by peaks was an ancient village "Kuafu Village", where dozens of witch tribe remnants who called themselves descendants of gods lived.
On the west side of Kuafu Village, there was a water pool of ten feet in radius, the water was cold and unfathomable.
That day, the Howling Moon Demon Wolf just happened to fall into the water pool.
Zhang Xingyu stayed in the Howling Moon Demon Wolf's body and luckily saved his life.
This girl is named Gu Yuyao, a little witch doctor in the village, who has been identifying herbs and treating people with her grandmother since she was a child.
Zhang Xingyu being able to wake up was all thanks to Gu Yuyao's careful treatment and careful care.
"Thank you, girl, for saving my life." Zhang Xingyu thanked softly.
Just as Zhang Xingyu was talking to Gu Yuyao.
Kuafu Village, Ancestral Witch Hall, was also having a fierce debate.
The two sides of the dispute were a white-haired old grandmother and a sturdy young man.
Young man: "Grandma, that outsider will expose the location of Kuafu Village, he must be executed."
Old grandmother: "Wutie, he is just a mortal. We just don't allow him to leave the village, why hurt his life?"
Young man: "Grandma, you can't judge a person by their appearance. This Ancestral Witch Hall seals the Ancestral Witch Artifact, if that person has greed in his heart, he will definitely bring endless disaster to our Kuafu Village."
Old grandmother: "Then don't let him enter the Ancestral Witch Hall. Although this young man is a mortal, he can fall from a ten-thousand-foot peak without dying, then he must be protected by the gods, how can we hurt him casually?"
After a pause, the old grandmother said again: "Recently, the Ancestral Witch Artifact has been restless and frequently emits divine light, I'm afraid it will attract the covetousness of foreign enemies."
That young man Wutie nodded: "I'm afraid it has already attracted them. That mortal, maybe he is a spy sent by foreign enemies."
The old grandmother sighed: "I let Yuyao watch him closely. If he has any movement, it won't be too late for us to kill him. Now, I only hope that this place will not be discovered, otherwise our Kuafu Village will fall into a state of eternal doom."
"Coocoo, coocoo" Zhang Xingyu lay flat on the stone bed, hungry and unbearable.
For the past two or three days, Gu Yuyao only gave him the green medicine juice, and did not give him any other food.
He sighed in his heart, it's better to be a full ghost than to live hungry.
Just then, the door creaked open, and Gu Yuyao walked in with a bowl of green paste.
Seeing the green paste in the bowl, a golden roasted chicken wing appeared in Zhang Xingyu's eyes: "Yuyao girl, what is this green paste? Can it be eaten?"
Seeing Zhang Xingyu's hungry ghost-like appearance, Gu Yuyao smiled beautifully: "Persist for a few more days, wait for your bones to grow initially, then you can eat something."
So hungry! Really so hungry! Zhang Xingyu sighed.
At this moment, he missed the delicacies of his previous life immensely. Even those fast foods known as junk food, if he could eat one bite at this moment, it would definitely be a supreme delicacy for him.
"This is ointment, you should change the medicine today. Close your eyes, I will change the medicine for you." Gu Yuyao said, her face blushing slightly.
Zhang Xingyu was a little strange, but still closed his eyes as requested.
A moment later, a warm jade hand gently untied his clothes on his chest, and then loosened the gauze wrapped around his ribs.
Gu Yuyao picked up the bowl, applied the ointment evenly to his injured area, and then carefully wrapped him in gauze.
The ribs were cold and cool, feeling very comfortable.
"Yuyao girl, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Xingyu opened his eyes and thanked Gu Yuyao softly.
Gu Yuyao was closing his clothes for him, and when she saw him open his eyes, her pretty face turned red immediately.
She picked up the medicine bowl and ran out in a panic.
Looking at her hurriedly leaving back, Zhang Xingyu thought: "This girl is not cut out to be a doctor. If you want to be a doctor, how can you be afraid of seeing the patient's body?"
In the following days, whenever Gu Yuyao saw Zhang Xingyu, her face always blushed.
Zhang Xingyu was afraid of her embarrassment, so he took the initiative to close his eyes when changing medicine.
After half a month like this, under Gu Yuyao's careful care, the broken bones on Zhang Xingyu's body had basically healed.
He got out of bed, walked out of the stone house, and looked up at the long-lost sky. The sky was covered with thick clouds and mist, and the sky looked gray.
He looked around. Only dozens of stone houses were sparsely dotted among the lush mountains and fields, and a clear small river wound through the village.
The mountain village was quiet and peaceful.
He was about to walk around, but was blocked by a sturdy young man like an iron tower: "Hey, outsider boy, sacred place of the Witch tribe, no wandering around." ===== CHAPTER 7 =====
