Chapter 85 Holding His Hand

The black, cold-blooded serpent beastman's large tail was positioned protectively in front of the little female, and his cold, oppressive eyes swept over the spears.

That useless red fox orc is practically asking for death by using this mixture of wood and bone that looks like tiny toothpicks on his little female.

Nan Zhisui stretched out her hand, which was tied with a bow, and blocked Xuan Jin's way, trying her best to express her friendliness.

"Yes, Qi Yingmei and I come from the same village. We are fellow villagers."

As Nan Zhisui spoke, he looked around at the other orcs present.

They were all Red Fox Beastmen, most of them with red hair and red eyes, but there were also a few with black hair and black eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly became serious.

The old fox female suddenly opened her eyes and slowly spoke with a menacing air: "Female from out of town, I ask you, in the stories of your kingdom, what does Ma Liang possess?"

All the red fox beastmen stared at Nan Zhisui. If she answered incorrectly, she and the cold-blooded snake beastmen beside her would be their enemies!

At this moment, even the wind quieted down.

Nan Zhisui hesitated for a moment before replying, "The magic brush?"

"Little swallow, wearing a flowery dress. What's behind her?!"

All the red fox orcs glared at her again!

Nan Zhisui pursed her lips: "You come here every spring? I asked you why you come in spring, and the swallow said, 'Spring is most beautiful here.'" (from the song "Little Swallow")
The fox clan members raised their eyebrows slightly, and the atmosphere seemed to lighten.

"Let us row our oars."

Nan Zhisui: "The little boat pushes through the waves, the beautiful white pagoda is reflected on the sea, surrounded by green trees and red walls?" (from the song "Let Us Row Our Boats")
The old fox female's eyes lit up immediately, and the entire litter of red fox beastmen lowered their spears.

"Fellow villager!" Nan Zhisui exclaimed excitedly.

“You are the villager my mother has been waiting for!” the old woman said excitedly.

Nan Zhisui couldn't help but exclaim that Qi Yingmei's code was truly ingenious!
The fox beastmen enthusiastically surrounded Nan Zhisui.

"What's your name?"

"Did you and our great-grandmother come from the same place?"

"Can you teach us more songs?"

"Can you tell stories? My great-grandmother could tell so many stories."

Xuan Jin was very unhappy, and he used his big tail to keep these smelly beastmen at bay.

The old fox female pushed aside the group of little beastmen and stood in front of Nan Zhisui, politely saying, "My name is Hongxing, which is the name my mother gave me. My mother is Qi Yingmei."

She said that when she named me this, she was thinking of her country and her home.

Nan Zhisui suddenly stopped smiling, and for some reason, he felt a deep respect from the inside out.

This is a teacher. A descendant of a teacher born in 1956.

"Hello, Grandma Hongxing, my name is Nan Zhisui."

Hongxing nodded to her: "Sure enough, the name is just like the ones in your village."

The red fox beastman brought Nan Zhisui and Xuan Jin to their village.

Xuan Jin felt a little uncomfortable; he was used to being approached by so many orcs, as he was always aloof.

Upon realizing this, Nan Zhisui, to prevent him from causing trouble, grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly.

Xuan Jin calmed down almost immediately, looking down at the little female's hand that was holding his.

His devilish eyes and eyebrows were slightly raised.

Nan Zhisui discovered that although this cold-blooded snake beastman was sometimes willful and unreasonable, he was still willing to suppress his temper and listen to her if she soothed him a little.

The Red Fox tribe brought water cups for Nan Zhisui to drink, and Hongxing sat opposite her.

“My mother said that if any of her fellow villagers come to our Red Fox Village, there are a few things I must tell her.”

Nan Zhisui led Xuan Jin to sit down and politely asked, "What is it?"

The red fox female slowly said, "She said to tell future generations that although the fertility pill can make childbirth easier, it's best not to take it, not to believe in fertility systems, and to believe in science."

Nan Zhisui: "..." Hearing the word "science" in the beast world all of a sudden felt very strange.

The female red fox took out a stone jar and handed it to Nan Zhisui.

Nan Zhisui asked, "Grandma Hongxing, what is this?"

"open to take a look."

Nan Zhisui opened the stone jar, and what she saw inside made her pause in surprise. "This is..."

"Hmm, this is a fertility pill." The female red fox picked up a piece of wood and tapped and pounded on the animal hide. "My mother kept giving birth and giving birth until she died in order to complete the mission and survive."

She was only thirty-eight years old when she died.

"It has been more than fifty years since then."

“She said there’s 001, and maybe there’s 002… She told us to take the fertility pills and wait for the people who come later. We’ve waited for so many years, and you’re the first one we’ve met.”

"She said she didn't know if the fertility pill would work for you. But she stayed anyway. If it does, you can take it with you."

Nan Zhisui tightened her grip on the stone jar. "Did she say anything else?"

Hongxing thought for a moment and said, "She said that our eldest father and eldest brother are in her hometown, and she misses them, as well as our parents. If there is a chance, please tell her family over there. She did not intentionally abandon them."

"I see."

**
Nan Zhisui played with the children of Red Fox Village.

She discovered that most of the orcs here knew some basic addition and subtraction.

Although Qi Yingmei is no longer here, she has passed on the knowledge she left behind.

Seeing many people and things connected to her hometown, Nan Zhisui was suddenly moved. As a veterinarian, she even took the initiative to treat the elderly and children here.

Nan Zhisui: "You have a skin condition. It's a fungal infection. Here, take this ointment. Squeeze a little out and apply it to the affected area each time, and it will be better in a few days. You absolutely, positively must not eat this. Also, make sure to expose the affected area to sunlight as much as possible."

"Thank you, Sister Sui Sui."

Nan Zhisui: "You have a cough. Let me teach you about some herbs. This is the leaf of the large loquat tree; it's very good to boil it in water when you have a cough."

"Ahem, I understand, thank you."

Nan Zhisui: "This injury, this is an external injury, it needs to be disinfected first. I'll disinfect it with alcohol..."

……

I saw patients all day, and the sun was setting.

Nan Zhisui was busy all day, and Xuan Jin was held by her hand and stared at her all day.

The cold-blooded serpent beastman felt that it would be nice if time could just stand still here.

How to do?
He seems to be getting increasingly greedy.

However, this rare tranquility did not last long; suddenly, a flock of birds and beasts took flight from the sky.

Xuan Jin looked up, his dark eyes narrowing slightly.

He said softly to her, "Little female, we should go."

Nan Zhisui looked at Xuan Jin, and this time they actually had some tacit understanding.

She looked at the villagers of Red Fox Village and said, "I should go now."

The villagers of Red Fox Village were reluctant to part with her, and many beastmen brought her animal hides and meat as gifts.

"Are you really leaving? Sister, you can stay."

"Yes, we all welcome you."

Seeing Nan Zhisui, who also had black hair and black eyes, many of the beastmen here, who were half human and half beastmen, were very friendly to her.

Nan Zhisui shook his head.

Hongxing came to her rescue, saying, "I know you like her, so don't make things difficult for her."

"Alright, Nan Zhisui, you must come often in the future."

"Remember to come back and visit us."

We all welcome you!

When she left Red Fox Village with Shengzi Dan and Xuan Jin, the Red Fox Clan beastmen were still reluctantly saying goodbye to her.

Hongxing stood at the very front, holding Nan Zhisui's hand. Her cloudy eyes seemed to clear for a moment, and she slowly said:

"Nan Zhisui, I remember my mother, Qi Yingmei, once said something."

"Being chosen to come here is indeed unfortunate."

But as human beings, we must always remember that we are human beings.
