Nan Xiaoxiang did not answer. There was a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Chen Yin thought about it and took out a piece of bread from the system mall.
"Miss Lian'er, do you know what this is?"
Lian'er bit her fingers, stared at the bread for a long time, and shook her head.
"It's delicious, try it."
Lian'er hesitated for a moment, but finally tore off a piece and put it into her mouth. Then the little girl's eyes lit up.
"Mmm! So delicious! Even softer than steamed buns!"
Chen Yin immediately took out another big bag of bread and walked over with a smile.
"It's just a small gift to show respect. Miss Lian'er, please don't be polite and share it with your friends in the village."
"I just hope Miss Lian'er can inform us. We are in a hurry and have something important to do with the chief witch."
Lian'er happily received a bag of bread, but turned around and frowned again:
"But, before the Great Witch went into seclusion, she scolded Lian'er, saying that she would not see anyone and that no one was allowed to disturb her..."
She pouted her lips, looking extremely troubled. She looked so cute when she frowned.
Finally, she shook her head and said, "Lian'er doesn't dare to call the High Priestess, but if she comes out, Lian'er can notify you."
"The houses outside the village are all empty. You can live wherever you want."
After saying that, she skipped away with the bread in her hands.
After Lian'er left, Nan Xiaoxiang glanced at Chen Yin nonchalantly.
"You have quite a few things here to entertain children."
"Thank you for the compliment." Chen Yin said with a smile, "If you want to eat it, you can ask me for it."
"……No."
"Really? We've been walking all day, aren't you hungry?"
"Thank you for your concern, Master Chen." Nan Xiaoxiang still said stubbornly, "It's still early, I won't..."
A crisp gurgling sound was heard at a very inopportune time.
Nan Xiaoxiang immediately closed her eyes tightly.
At that moment, she really wanted to die.
After a long time, she slowly opened her eyes and said calmly, "Laugh if you want to."
Although Chen Yin had a hard time holding back his laughter, he still took out a piece of bread and handed it to her.
"Sometimes, there's nothing wrong with being a kid who gets pampered."
Nan Xiaoxiang took the bread and stared at it for a long time.
Chen Yin was about to leave when he heard an inaudible whisper.
"...I'm not a child." The voice surprisingly contained a hint of grievance.
She was almost talking to herself, and if Chen Yin didn't have good hearing, he wouldn't be able to hear her.
Seeing Chen Yin turning his head away, Nan Xiaoxiang quickly returned to normal.
"Let's go. It's getting late. Let's stay here first."
(I have a little free time tomorrow, so I can update twice a day. I will update as soon as I wake up.)
173. If you can watch someone die without rescuing him, you are not a doctor.
After settling down in the village, it was already night.
Luoluo seemed to be still a little uncomfortable with the miasma here, so Chen Yin asked her to take some medicine and go to bed early.
No one knew where Qingying went at night. But since she had a system, Chen Yin didn't bother to care about her.
Only Nan Xiaoxiang, looking troubled, stood outside the house leaning against the railing.
“How do you feel about visiting the old place again?”
Seeing Chen Yin strolling towards her like he was taking a walk, leaning against her without any hesitation, Nan Xiaoxiang frowned slightly, but her words were still gentle:
"I just miss it a little bit. Actually, I can't remember many things from my childhood."
nonsense.
I can’t remember clearly, how could they have walked that long and found such a secluded place?
Chen Yin was too lazy to point it out to her, he just leaned lazily on the railing and looked at the village:
"Are you hungry?"
"……Um."
So Chen Yin took out another small cake.
Nan Xiaoxiang held the soft and glutinous cake and took a light bite. The soft and fluffy texture melted between her lips and teeth, and her eyes became clear.
“Sweet and soft…not like mainland desserts, but delicious.”
"Why do you always have so many new and delicious things?" She couldn't help but turn her head.
Chen Yin shrugged nonchalantly.
"There are so many delicious things in the world. But you are busy treating patients in the clinic every day, so you don't have the time to try these things."
Nan Xiaoxiang blinked and looked at him.
"Any more?"
Chen Yin took another piece. This time it was chocolate mousse.
Every time Nan Xiaoxiang took a bite, a bright and crystal light flashed in her eyes, as if she was experiencing an incomparable wonderful experience.
Finally, she swallowed another whole piece of mousse and licked her lips with satisfaction.
She couldn't help but glance at Chen Yin, wanting to say something, but in the end she held back and didn't speak.
"If you want to eat more, I have many more flavors for you."
Chen Yin said: "However, in our hometown, girls will gain weight if they eat these things at night."
"If you don't mind, you can eat as much as you want."
Nan Xiaoxiang hesitated for a moment, but finally withdrew his gaze reluctantly.
"Forget it."
Seeing that she actually held back, Chen Yin teased, "Miss Nan also cares so much about her figure."
"Is it strange for girls to care about their figure?" Nan Xiaoxiang's tone was slightly dissatisfied.
"No. I just think it's quite fresh."
He spread his hands and said, "I thought a woman like Miss Nan would take it as her responsibility to cure illnesses and save lives, care about the people of the world, and not be fussy about trivial matters."
Nan Xiaoxiang glared at him angrily: "These two things don't conflict with each other!"
Chen Yin quickly smiled and shrank his neck.
After the teasing, Nan Xiaoxiang also sighed softly and leaned against the railing with a slightly melancholy look: "Mr. Chen, do you also think I'm stupid?"
"The world today is not a peaceful and prosperous time, but it is not a chaotic time either."
"Everyone is busy living their own lives. Am I stupid to always think about saving others?"
Chen Yin thought for a moment and said, "If you think you are right, then what does it matter if others think you are stupid?"
“…So you still feel stupid.”
"I didn't say that, don't spread it around."
The evening breeze blew gently, and Nan Xiaoxiang's soft black hair gently touched the back of Chen Yin's hand, carrying a faint fragrance.
"You're right," she said suddenly.
"If I think it's right, then it's right. It doesn't matter if others think it's stupid."
"I'm just living my own life." She gently leaned her chin on the railing.
For a moment, Chen Yin felt that she looked gentle when she was quiet.
Like a cat curled up on a blanket on a summer afternoon.
He was too drowsy to open his eyes, but he was still stretching lazily.
Her eyes, like a sleepy cat, hid a hint of fatigue.
At night, even the chirping of insects and birds is rarely heard in Wuxuan Cave. It is so quiet that it is a little scary.
Chen Yin didn't say anything either, just leaned beside her and kept her company.
But the quiet night was suddenly broken by a very suppressed moan.
The owner of the voice seemed to be in pain, but was trying his best to endure it. There was also a low whisper at the side.
Chen Yin's face immediately turned serious. Nan Xiaoxiang also heard some noises and couldn't help but frowned:
"Mr. Chen, did you hear any sound just now?"
"I heard it." Chen Yin turned his head and looked down the mountain, "In that room."
Just as Nan Xiaoxiang was about to leave, Chen Yin gently pulled her back: "Minding other people's business might cause trouble."
Nan Xiaoxiang hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head.
"I'm a doctor." She looked at Chen Yin calmly.
So Chen Yin let go of his hand.
He followed Nan Xiaoxiang slowly and came to the house at the foot of the mountain.
The door was ajar, and the closer one got, the clearer the sounds from inside became.
It was the voices of two teenagers.
One person was groaning in pain, while another voice whispered anxiously, "Brother, hold on!"
"Don't fall asleep!"
Nan Xiaoxiang pushed the door open and walked in. The little boy, who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old, suddenly became nervous: "Who are you?"
She simply replied "Doctor" hastily, then walked straight to her brother who was lying on the ground rolling in pain, grabbed his arm and started taking his pulse.
Chen Yin leaned against the door quietly, without moving a muscle, and had no intention of going forward to help.
"The pulse is sometimes fast and sometimes weak, the lips and teeth are black, and blood is oozing from the forehead..."
Nan Xiaoxiang's expression became colder and colder. She frowned and turned her head away: "You live in Wuxuan Cave, don't you know the toxicity of Hanling Mingye?"
"How dare you eat something like this? Do you think it's too late for the King of Hell to take you away?"
There was a hint of severity in her voice, which made the younger brother look a little less imposing.
But he still said stubbornly: "You, what do you know!"
"My brother has a good foundation, but his resistance to poison is not high enough to become a formal disciple."
“As long as he can survive the toxicity of the Cold Bell Dark Leaf, he will have a chance to become a formal disciple of Wuxuan Cave!”
Nan Xiaoxiang was anxious and angry, and was about to speak: "So what if I am a formal disciple? Is it more important than life--"
But the next moment, she was speechless again.
There was no guilt or confusion in my brother's eyes.
There was only firm and intense hostility.
It seemed that if Nan Xiaoxiang forcibly stopped his brother, he would rush forward and fight her to the death.
……yes.
The people living around Wuxuan Cave are the most talented children among the scattered tribes in the Shiwan Mountains.
Each of them is placed with hope by the tribe, hoping to become a disciple of Wuxuanku and become an immortal.
For them, entering the threshold of monastic life is more important than their lives.
