The villain and I have eight hundred minds combined

Chapter 57: The Past of Qionghua (1)

"No, no, we don't need that kind of thing." Mu Hanxing calmed down and said to her solemnly, "When the envoys from the human world go to other countries to negotiate, they need a medicine that can temporarily relieve the toxicity by taking an antidote after a period of time. I wonder if you can make it?"

"That's easy. When the poison takes effect, what kind of symptoms does the city lord hope for? Deafness and blindness? A life worse than death? Heartbroken? Or a state of being shattered?" Qionghua asked her seriously.

I didn't expect that a girl who looked so quiet and gentle could make her so frightened when she opened her mouth.

"There's no need to do that. After all, they are both my concubines. I can't bear to see them suffer too much." Mu Hanxing said calmly.

Qionghua was stunned. She had never expected that the city lord's temper... seemed a little softer than before. If it were in the past, under such circumstances, he would probably ask her for a strong medicine, a vicious medicine that would make the two of them kneel down and beg her for detoxification.

"Then...what about feeling itchy in your heart? This feeling is like scratching an itch through a shoe, it can never scratch your heart, and your whole body is itchy, but you can't get rid of the itch. What do you think?" Qionghua gave her an idea.

When Mu Hanxing heard this, his eyes lit up: "That's it! Very good!"

The expression "scratching an itch through a shoe" is really uncomfortable from a physical point of view!

"Then I will develop it right away. Although the toxicity of this medicine is very mild, it still needs some high-quality spiritual medicines to neutralize it. The ingredients are numerous and the steps are rather complicated. It may take me about ten days. Is that possible?" Qionghua asked cautiously, feeling a little ashamed.

"That's fine. Since it's a newly developed drug, it won't hurt to take a little longer." Mu Hanxing nodded.

"Yes, I will go right away."

After receiving the order, Qionghua quickly stood up and left. Mu Hanxing called her back and stuffed the remaining pieces of top-grade crispy pastry into her mouth. While stuffing them into her mouth, he asked her directly, "What do you think of General Zhuque?"

Qionghua acted unusually calm and said calmly, "He is loyal and dedicated to defending the party. He has strong spiritual power, is tall and handsome, and has strong appeal."

Mu Hanxing widened her eyes: "You have a good opinion of him, then..."

Before she finished speaking, Qionghua, who was very smart, quickly replied, "But it's not as attractive to me as the gold leaves."

"..."

These words almost made her laugh. She smiled, nodded slightly, and patted her shoulder: "Okay, I understand. I wanted to help you do something good."

At this time, Qionghua was holding a piece of pastry in her hand, her expression was calm, and there seemed to be a lake in her eyes.

She suddenly remembered something that happened long ago.

That was several decades ago, when she had just ascended to become an immortal.

Before that, she was a young village doctor in an inconspicuous little village in the human world.

One day, a strong wind blew in the village, and a wolf demon emerged from the wild forest near the village without any warning!

Everyone was startled by the howl of a wolf. The farmers living closest to the forest opened and rubbed their eyes. Everyone in the whole village was stunned and stopped what they were doing, as if they had not yet reacted to what had happened.

At this moment, the wolf demon's eyes flashed red, and it ran over quickly, scratching the villager closest to it to death with one claw!

Everyone watched as the man's eyes widened, and before he could call for help, he died and fell to the ground.

After the whole village was stunned for a moment, there was a sudden cry of surprise, and then everyone threw away the things in their hands and ran back in a panic. The stables, stalls, pots and pans were knocked over by the chaotic crowd, and the whole village fell into panic and chaos in an instant.

The wolf demon was extremely fast. When it rushed over, it was like a gust of wind passing through, destroying everything in its path. It crushed two people to death with one claw!

"Help! Help!"

Everyone screamed and ran back quickly.

A young girl in the village suddenly heard shouting outside the house. She ran out and took a few steps before she saw several bitten people lying in a pool of blood. Just as she was about to rush over, someone grabbed her wrist. The person who grabbed Qionghua was Aqiao, the man her family had arranged for her to marry when she was a child.

Ah Qiao knew what she was going to do, and immediately yelled at her, "Don't save her! It's useless! How can she survive after being bitten by a wolf?"

Qionghua raised her eyebrows and pushed Aqiao away: "Then I will try my best, don't stop me!"

After saying that, he rushed forward and searched among the corpses for a living person who could still be saved.

Ah Qiao was so angry that he stamped his feet, but he was worried about Qionghua going alone, so he forced himself to calm down and followed her.

The village militia quickly gathered into a team. Several of them picked up their swords and guns and rushed over. With an angry shout, they stabbed their weapons into the wolf's leg hair. The strength of mortals was very small, and the wolf monster's skin was not even pierced.

The wolf demon glanced at the militiamen sideways, as if teasing them, and sneered with its big mouth. Then it blew a breath at them. The demonic energy instantly blew them several feet away, and then floated up to the sky under a gust of wind. When the demonic energy dissipated, several people fell to the ground in an instant, their internal organs were broken, and they died in less than a moment.

A devastating disaster suddenly struck.

Everyone fled in terror, just wanting to stay alive, but the Qionghua people had been practicing medicine for generations, and their ancestral teachings had also mentioned that as long as there were wounded people in front of them, they should not turn a blind eye.

In the devastated village, among the scattered crowd, a young girl was lying on the ground, using her ancestral medicine to treat a dying person who was injured by the wolf demon.

As she watched her familiar and friendly neighbors struggling to death in front of her, she suppressed her emotions that were about to collapse and concentrated on treating them.

The Grandma Qi in front of her had helped her identify medicinal herbs when she was very young. She was a very famous old doctor in the village. Almost all the doctors in the village had received her care and guidance.

But at this time, Aqiao couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that the wolf demon was about to come to their corner, when life and death were at stake, he grabbed her and tried to run away. Qionghua was determined to save her, and suddenly, with her eyes wide open, she waved him away again: "Don't pull me! She can still be saved!"

"You saved her, but she is disabled and cannot escape this disaster, but you will also lose your life! Are you stupid?" A Qiao also glared and roared.

"Grandma Qi taught me medicine when I was a child, and she also taught you to identify medicinal herbs. She is right in front of me, how can I not save her!" Qionghua was so angry that her eyes turned red. The bitterness in her heart surged up all at once, and she could no longer control her emotions.

At this time, Grandma Qi, who was scratched by the wolf demon and bleeding, had a calm face. Facing the calmness of death, she trembled and stretched out a hand, and said to Qionghua in a weak voice: "Xiaohuaer... run... don't worry about grandma..."

The word "Xiao Hua'er" made her collapse instantly, tears streaming down her face. She bandaged Grandma Qi with shaking hands, her voice trembling as well: "I won't leave... I will never abandon you... You said that you wanted me to take you out of the village to see the wider world outside, and to take you around to practice medicine and help the people of the world..."

Ah Qiao lowered his head and took a closer look at the injury. He immediately felt like vomiting. A large part of Grandma Qi's thigh had been dug out by the wolf demon's claws. Even the bones were clearly visible. How could she be saved...
