The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

The little medical fairy walked up to Hao Xiong and patted him on the back.

"You're no better than Xiaowu. Rinse your mouth and take another pill!"

Zhao Xuan helped Gu Zhanghua lie down on the grass to rest, feeling a little nervous.

"Why did Hao Xiong vomit? Was he also poisoned by the miasma? Why are the three of us fine?"

"You have a foundation in martial arts training, and it's no big deal for Xiaoling to jump around all day. I've been dealing with herbs and poisons for years, so I have a certain immunity."

The Little Medical Fairy took out two more detoxification pills and gave them to Gu Zhanghua and Hao Xiong to take.

"I'll go look around. Maybe there are herbs I haven't seen before."

"I'm worried about you going alone, so let Xiaoling accompany you."

The sky gradually darkened, and the mountains in the distance were looming in the night, like a dormant giant beast lying motionless.

Suddenly the wind blew, and a rustling sound came from the miasma forest, occasionally accompanied by the low growl of some unknown animal.

Zhao Xuan knew nothing about this new environment. She was worried about the health of Gu Zhanghua and Hao Xiong, as well as the safety of Xiao Yixiong and Guan Liushui.

She stood up and looked into the distance, then sat down again to carefully examine the two people's expressions, feeling uneasy for a while.

"It's getting dark now. Will they be able to find us when they come back? How about I go look for some dry branches nearby so we can light a bonfire?"

"Don't do that!" Hao Xiong hurriedly stopped Zhao Xuan and observed the surrounding environment.

"Sister, we're not familiar with this terrain. There's a swamp ahead, and a dense forest filled with miasma behind us. I'm worried that lighting a fire might bring us trouble!"

"You mean it will attract wild animals?"

Hao Xiong nodded cautiously.

"I remember when I was little, an old hunter in the village told me that in a dark forest, one should never expose oneself but try to hide oneself.

Because you don't know what other people or beasts are lurking around, whoever is exposed first will die first."

Zhao Xuan drew the long sword from her waist and stuck it into the ground, then sat between the two of them.

"What you said is quite scary. I see you two are recovering well. How about I go look for them?"

Hao Xiong immediately objected.

"I'll be the one to look for you. If you can't find me and get lost yourself, everyone else will have to look for you!"

Zhao Xuan glared at Hao Xiong: "Am I that stupid?"

"Have you forgotten? That time when you went to Jinyang City to participate in the Tiandao League Martial Arts Competition, you left in the morning and returned at noon?"

Gu Zhanghua asked Hao Xiong in confusion: "Why is this?"

"My sister wandered around the mountain and couldn't find the way down, so she turned back to Jiaoyang Valley! She has a terrible sense of direction!"

She reached out and hit Hao Xiong on the head.

"Make it up! Make it up! Just make it up!"

It is said that Xiao Yixian and Guan Liushui walked out of the valley, and Xiao Yixian picked some flowers and plants that she had never seen before.

Guan Liushui pointed at the faint lights not far away.

"There seems to be a house over there. Should we go over and take a look?"

The little medical fairy packed up the flowers and plants and put them into the medicine box.

"They should be locals. Let's go over and ask if we can stay overnight. It seems we won't be able to get through the miasma forest tonight."

The two followed the light and walked for about an incense stick of time before arriving at the gate of a small courtyard.

There are two lanterns hanging on the left and right sides of the courtyard gate.

Guan Liushui walked up and knocked on the gate, and soon a woman opened the door and came out.

The headdress the woman wore looked like a round hat with long tassels hanging from the edges, reaching down to her chest.

She wore a light blue top with a black waistcoat, an embroidered ribbon around her waist with a bee pattern embroidered on it in black thread, blue wide-leg pants, and a pair of embroidered shoes also with a bee pattern embroidered on them.

The woman looked to be in her thirties and looked at the two of them warily.

Before Guan Liushui could say a polite word, the woman turned and left, shouting.

"Dog, dog, come and greet the strangers passing by!"

The woman walked into a room and closed the door, and a little girl ran out of another room.

The little girl looked about ten years old. She had a big braid with a red hairband wrapped around the end. The style of clothes she wore was very similar to the woman just now, but the colors were brighter and more vivid.

The little girl ran to Guan Liushui and Xiao Yixian, her round eyes clear and bright, and a happy smile on her face.

"What can I do for you?"

Watching the flowing water, he gently touched the little girl's hair.

"Girl Gou'er, we do have something to trouble you with."

Xiao Yixian looked at the little girl's pretty face and the name "Gou'er" which was so inconsistent with her face that she couldn't help laughing.

The little girl stamped her feet anxiously: "It's not a dog, it's a fruit, the fruit of flowers and fruits."

"I said such a pretty girl can't be called a dog. I heard it wrong. Please forgive me, Guo'er."

Guan Liushui said this and bowed deeply to Guoer.

Guo'er giggled.

"Don't be so polite, pretty brother. You outsiders will misunderstand the first time."

Guan Liushui touched his face and felt a little embarrassed when a little girl called him beautiful.

"Guo'er, our group of five are all students who are traveling and collecting folk songs.

When we passed the valley just now, two of our companions were struck by miasma. We were wondering if we could stay at your house tonight and rest for a night.

Guo'er cried out "Ouch!"

"Wait for me, I'll go get the antidote and go with you. Saving people is the most important thing!"

Guoer turned around and ran back to the house, and came out quickly with a small white porcelain bottle and a lantern in her hands.

"let's go!"

Guan Liushui led the way in front, and Xiao Yixian looked at the porcelain bottle in Guoer's hand.

"Guo'er, can you let me see your antidote?"

Guoer handed the porcelain bottle to Xiao Yixian.

The little medical fairy opened the porcelain bottle, poured out a pill into her palm, sniffed it closely, and then crushed the pill to examine it carefully.

Guo'er asked the Little Medical Fairy, "Sister, do you know medicine?"

"I know a little bit about it. Could you please share the formula of this detoxification pill?"

"Our tribe has lived here for generations, and detoxification pills are a must-have. If you're interested, I can write down the recipe for you to review."

The Little Medical Fairy was delighted: "Thank you first, Guo'er. I will ask you for help if I have any questions later."

“You’re too polite, sister. Outsiders traveling between Gucheng and Guze Town can easily stray into the miasma forest.

In the early years, the town sent people to take turns on duty here to ensure that poisoned outsiders could be rescued in time.

My mother has been living here with me for the past ten years, and I've saved so many people!"

"Guo'er is amazing! You're so young and you're saving lives. I want to learn from you!"

Xiao Yixiang's sincere praise made Guo'er blush.

"Thank you, sister. Eh? Are they them?"

Guoer pointed at three people under a big tree not far away.

Guan Liushui had already run over, shouting as he ran: "Sister, brother-in-law, Brother Xiong, we are back!"

Hao Xiong jumped up, and Zhao Xuan helped Gu Zhanghua stand up.

Hao Xiong hugged Guan Liushui and patted his back.

"You little brats, you're finally back! We were so worried, thinking something had happened!"

When Zhao Xuan saw a strange little girl following behind them, she immediately gripped her sword tightly and looked at the little girl with a wary look on her face.

"who are you?"

In the light of the fire, Guo'er blinked her bright big eyes.

"My name is Guo'er, the Guo of Huaguo, and I'm here to bring you the antidote."

Xiao Yixian hugged Guoer and explained to Zhao Xuan.

"We found a house nearby, it was Guo'er's home. She heard that one of our companions was infected with miasma, so she followed us to rescue him.

Her family has their own homemade antidote, specifically for the miasma here."

The Little Medical Fairy poured out two detoxification pills from the white porcelain bottle and handed them to Gu Zhanghua and Hao Xiong respectively.

"Take the medicine first."

Guo'er added, "Take the medicine and sit quietly for a while, and it will definitely get better!"

Zhao Xuan bowed to Guo'er: "Thank you Guo'er for saving me!"

Hao Xiong chewed and swallowed the pill, and his stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

Guan Liushui seemed to be infected by Hao Xiong and his stomach started to growl.

Guan Liushui looked at Guoer with a smile.

"Guo'er, can we go to your house for a meal? We haven't eaten much since noon. I promise it won't be for free."

Guan Liushui pointed at himself and then at Zhao Xuan.

"This sister and I can perform singing and dancing for you!"

Guan Liushui looked at Gu Zhanghua who was sitting cross-legged on the grass with his eyes closed to rest.

"That brother can draw a particularly beautiful portrait of you!"

Guan Liushui then looked at Xiao Yixiang.

"The sister hugging you can make you a pure natural fragrance powder, which will definitely make your skin white and tender and fragrant all day long!"

Hao Xiong volunteered: "Leave all the dirty and tiring work in your family to me!"

Zhao Xuan looked at Guan Liushui speechlessly. He sold out all five people with just one meal. Is he addicted to performing arts?
