Xi Lingxue felt that she was floating on the water and finally had a chance to survive. She hoped to meet a kind person who could save her, otherwise she would drown if the wooden basin overturned.

Why is it so difficult to survive?

"Biyun, if I can survive, I will definitely repay you for your kindness today."

Chu Nanxi held the bamboo pole with all her strength, while her master sat leisurely on the bamboo raft and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.

Xi Lingxue felt like she had been floating on the water for a very long time, so long that she was almost starving to death, when suddenly she heard someone talking.

"Master, what's in that water?"

"I don't know, let's go check it out."

When Xi Lingxue heard someone talking, she burst into tears.

Chu Nanxi wanted to paddle over on the bamboo raft, but the master hurriedly stopped her and said, "Swim over and save them."

"Why are you swimming over there when you have a bamboo raft? It's so cold, Master, why don't you feel sorry for your disciple?"

"Master is testing your ability in the water, go now and stop talking nonsense."

He looked at the white-haired old man, feeling a little helpless.

"Why, you don't want to save people?"

"willing."

"Go if you want. Your uncle is waiting for us."

"Yes."

Chu Nanxi took off her outer robe and jumped into the water, swimming towards the middle of the river, splashing water onto the old man.

"You little brat, you don't want to suffer any loss. Come up and see how the master will deal with you."

He splashed water on his master on purpose. Master and disciple should share happiness and difficulties.

Chu Nanxi jumped into the water and shivered with cold. She swam hard to the wooden basin and saw a child in it. She pulled the basin towards the bamboo raft.

"Master, it's a child."

"Master, your eyes are not blurry. You can see that it is a newborn baby."

"Who is so cruel as to put a child in a tub? Luckily the child is lucky enough or he would have drowned."

"Master, what should I do?"

"What can we do? Just leave him with your uncle! He's single anyway, so it's not bad to have a disciple. At least when he's hungry or thirsty, there's someone to help him."

Chu Nanxi rolled her eyes again and said dissatisfiedly: "Master, do you accept disciples just to eat, drink and have someone to order you around?"

"No."

He looked at the old man expectantly, "For what?"

"Of course it's for my own good so I take in a disciple to eat, drink and chat with me. It's a good way to vent when I'm in a bad mood and to have someone to see me off when I'm old. It's pretty good."

"Master..."

Xi Lingxue also rolled her eyes. This master was a bit unreliable. The purpose of accepting a disciple was just like that. Why did he feel like a servant?

"Stop talking nonsense and paddle the bamboo raft quickly. It's too late. Your uncle's roast chicken will be eaten by him. We won't even be able to see the chicken's butt."

"Master, I am cold and can't hold on any longer. Can you please..."

"No, if you're cold, just paddle the raft hard, and you'll be warm."

Chu Nanxi and Xi Lingxue felt like a flock of crows were flying overhead. What kind of logic was this?

"..."

Chu Nanxi, who was soaked all over, paddled the bamboo raft with all her strength. The master sat leisurely in the back, glancing at the child in the wooden basin from time to time.

Xi Lingxue stared at the white-haired old man with her big eyes, and the old man looked as if he had found a new toy.

"Hey! This child is funny, his eyes are rolling around, he is smart, he will definitely be smart when he grows up. Such a smart child can't be given to me by my junior brother, I will raise him myself."

"Master, I beg you, it's hard enough for me to take care of you alone, if I have to take care of a newborn baby, I definitely can't do it."

"Who asked you to take care of it?"

"Do you take care of it?"

"I have to travel around the world and have no time to take care of the children."

"Master uncle took her in, she must be his disciple."

"I saved her life, so she must be my disciple."

Xi Lingxue felt that if this old man acted like a rogue, no one could be his match.

Xi Lingxue finally got ashore when she felt she was about to starve to death.

"Disciple, tie the bamboo raft tightly. We will need it later."

"Yes."

Chu Nanxi wrapped the bamboo raft with vines, held the wooden basin and followed her master up the mountain.

"Follow my steps to avoid being bitten by poisonous creatures."

"Is there any poison?"

"The whole mountain is filled with poison placed by your uncle."

He was so frightened that he followed his master closely, fearing that he would lose his life if he was not careful.

Soon they arrived at the gate of a remote courtyard.

"Master, is this my uncle's house?"

"Don't move. Your uncle often sets traps at the gate of the yard."

Chu Nanxi was so frightened that she quickly stopped and watched her master walk in with a swagger.

"Master, where is the trap?"

"Find it yourself. I'm reminding you, if you still fall into the trap, you're just too stupid."

"........."

He took cautious steps, following the path his master had just taken, but after only a few steps, the bamboo doors on both sides instantly moved towards the middle.

He was so scared that he rushed forward and stepped on the rope and was directly hung up. The wooden basin fell to the ground in an instant, and Xi Lingxue cried loudly in pain. Because she was too hungry, her cry sounded like a cat's meow.

"Where did this wild cat come from? How dare it enter my yard and steal food? Aren't you afraid of being poisoned to death?"

The white-haired old man walked slowly over and held Xi Lingxue in his arms.

"Old man Ye, you are old and your hearing is not working well. How come the cry of a child turned out to be the cry of a wild cat?"

"Old man He, where did this child come from? This child is crying so softly, it looks like he won't live long."

"Hurry up and see what's wrong with her. Is she hungry or sick?"

Xi Lingxue rolled her eyes. This old man has a very vicious tongue.

"Yo! Yo! Yo! Oh my God! This child can roll his eyes at such a young age. Old Ye, she understands what you say."

"You think she's a child prodigy? The newborn baby's eyes haven't even been opened yet, why are you rolling your eyes?"

The poison doctor held Xi Lingxue and looked at her.

"She must be hungry. I'll go in and get her something to eat."

"We, the master and the disciple, haven't eaten yet. You can get some more, roast chicken or roast duck. Just serve them. Don't hide anything."

"Roast chicken, roast duck, no, I want to roast people."

"This old man is so stingy. He doesn't treat guests well. I won't come to see you next time."

"Who cares if you come to see me? If you don't come, I will have peace and quiet."

"I love you, okay? Hurry up and get some food for us master and disciple. I'll give you something good later."

"What a good thing."

"It's what you always wanted."

“I don’t know what I want.”

"I know you better than you know yourself."

Chu Nanxi watched them bickering and wondered why no one put themselves down.

Xi Lingxue was also anxious. You guys just chat, can you please feed me first and then talk?

"Master..."

"Come down quickly."

"I can't get down."

"How stupid! How can I accept a stupid disciple like you? You warned me of a trap but you still fell into it. You really bring shame to me, the Sword Master."

As he said this, he came to him, untied the rope and let him down.

"Thank you, Master."

"Be careful next time."

"Master, I just walked where you walked, why is there a trap?"

"Watch how I walk."

He tiptoed to avoid the traps on the ground, and Chu Nanxi followed his example and walked into the yard.

The poison doctor Ye Chuan held Xi Lingxue on the bed and went to the wooden house next door to cook rice soup. After it was cooked, he served it a bowl of cold water.

I fed Xi Lingxue directly with the bowl, but she drank less than what went down her neck.

Oh my god! Did this old man do this on purpose? I almost choked to death instead of starving to death.

Chu Nanxi couldn't bear it any longer and hurriedly took the bowl from the poison doctor.

"Nephew Chu Nanxi, hello to my uncle."

"This kid looks pretty good."

"Thank you for the compliment, uncle."

"Uncle, let me feed you!"

"That's fine. Feeding children isn't my strong point."

"Uncle Master, what are your strengths?"

"Poison, do you want to try it?"

Chu Nanxi was so scared that she quickly shook her head. Her master's hobby was really special.

"Old man Ye, where's the meal?"

"In the pot."

"Mom! What is this?"

"Rice porridge."

"Are you using it as a mirror? Old man Ye, are you so poor? I can't imagine that a famous poison doctor can't even afford to eat."

"I originally wanted to stay with you for a while longer, but now, we, the master and disciple, will definitely be starving to death here."

"I couldn't ask for more."

"I really can't chat any more today."

Chu Nanxi fed Xi Lingxue little by little. Only after she drank half a bowl of rice soup did she feel comfortable.

"Oh my god! I'm starving. How can a foodie like me be treated like this? If I were not still young, I would have gone to find something to eat. I would not have been so hungry that I felt dizzy."
