Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

Jiuwu Taoist was in a dilemma, not knowing how to comfort his friend. He said:

"It's okay, it's just a small problem. I can chew on this new worry for a decade or so, just for a change of heart... Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Help me investigate which powerful snake demons have appeared in the past hundred years."

"Okay, next time you go out to buy wine, I'll help you ask around."

*

Chu Wuji followed the green snake and hid in the mountains and forests. He himself could not confirm where he was.

The national power map of this era seems to be divided up almost completely, but when you go to the interior of many countries, those dense forest areas in the wilderness are uninhabited areas that are beyond the jurisdiction of the government.

It is difficult to confirm your current location if you cannot find specific reference points such as rivers, main roads, towns, etc.

During these few days, Qing Snake only said a few words in total and remained silent for the rest of the time, so as to prevent Chu Wuzhi from feeling familiar with her as "Bai Sujin".

"Chu Wuji, perhaps you're so obsessed with following me because you're lost. In the next few days, you need to sort out your thoughts and accept the facts. When the time is right, I'll leave and bury myself. I won't give you any more emotional attachment."

"..."

Chu Wuji was temporarily unable to respond to the woman because his mental state was not very good.

There are many miasma and poisonous fogs in the mountains. These gases may not be fatal, but they can cause dizziness.

The woman kept walking around in these places. Chu Wuji guessed that she didn't want to attack him, so he planned to use the mild toxins in the miasma to make him unconscious so that she could leave easily.

Chu Wuji covered his nose with his sleeve to minimize the inhalation of miasma, but this was not a long-term solution.

"Hold on a little longer, don't faint, or you'll never find mother again!"

Suddenly, he noticed dog feces on the ground. With an experimental mentality, he picked up a stone on the ground, waited for the right moment, and shot down several flying birds in succession and picked them up in his hands.

Green Snake glanced at him, not quite understanding the boy's behavior. Just now, Green Snake thought he was out of his mind and wanted to attack her, but he just shot a few flying birds?

Are you hungry and ready to eat raw meat and drink blood to replenish your energy?

After walking for a while, there was a rustling sound in the bushes next to us, and a big yellow dog ran out.

The yellow dog has a white face and a tail like a golden coin. It looks like a wolf with fluffy hair and is very majestic. The hair on its forehead is darker in color, like a mark.

Folk hunters generally call this kind of dog the mountain god dog. It is not magical at all, but it is relatively smart.

It's a bit like a small animal NPC that randomly spawns in the wild. If you get lost, they will help you find the way out of the mountain. If you are injured, they can help you find herbs, but it all depends on the mood of the mountain dog.

Chu Wuji pointed at the miasma, then threw all the birds in his hand to it.

The big yellow dog understood and turned around and ran away.

Soon, it came back with a handful of herbs for Chu Wuzhi, then took the bird away and disappeared happily in the miasma.

Chu Wuji stuffed the herbs into his mouth and swallowed them ravenously. When the effect of the medicine took effect, the heaviness in his head gradually disappeared.

The miasma poison has been cured!

Chu Wuji quickened his pace again and returned to the woman without saying a word.

"......" The green snake sighed helplessly in his heart.

She was waiting for Chu Wuji to inhale a wave of miasma and faint, and then she would find a road to leave him on the side of the road, and then go back to report to her sister.

This guy actually knows this method to detoxify. My sister really taught him a lot.

Chapter 57: The Bad-Temperament Aunt

After walking for a while, the sky gradually became overcast and I could smell the coming rain in the air.

It looks like it will rain tonight.

After the rain in the empty mountains, autumn comes late.

After the autumn night rain, the remaining heat from summer will be washed away, and the weather will basically turn completely cool.

The green snake saw a cave hidden behind a waterfall nearby. She took the initiative to speak, with a hint of impatience in her tone:

"I'm tired and want to rest there."

Being tired from walking is just an excuse. Sister White Snake's body is strong and she won't get tired easily, but Green Snake is really tired mentally.

No one likes to walk aimlessly in the wilderness for days. Even when the Green Snake and the White Snake were in seclusion practicing, they tended to find a safe and peaceful place to live and ignore the affairs of the outside world.

There was an inconspicuous path beside the waterfall. The green snake walked from here into the cave, and after confirming that there were no wild animals there, it gently moved its hands, and the gravel and dust on the ground were blown aside by the invisible wind.

She then touched her skirt and sat down cross-legged.

Chu Wuji gave the few birds he had just shot to the small animals that caught up with him in exchange for herbs, and then followed the woman into the cave.

I don’t know if it was the mountain god dog that conveyed the message to the animal friends in the mountains. The animals all knew that a male biped had appeared in the forest. As long as they brought medicinal herbs to him to relieve the miasma, he would give them back the extremely difficult-to-catch birds.

So, every five miles, small animals would come with herbs and exchange them for food with this two-legged NPC.

At one point, there was a scene of four or five small animals queuing up to exchange food.

Even the green snake had to remind him that all medicines are poisonous, and eating too much of this herb would also be toxic.

In fact, if Chu Wuji really poisoned himself, it would be a good thing for Qing Snake, but she couldn't help but remind him against her will, and she was in a state of regret for the rest of the journey.

Chu Wuzhi followed the woman's steps, walked into the waterfall cave, and sat down opposite her.

Seeing that the woman seemed to be recalling something, Chu Wuji asked:

"White Snake Lady, what are you thinking about? If you don't mind, can you tell me?"

The woman in the white dress sitting cross-legged had a graceful and elegant appearance, but her beautiful eyes were like turquoise snake eyes, and sometimes she would spit out a pointed and slender snake tongue from between her delicate lips.

The light in the cave was dim, and the woman's vertical snake-like eyes were particularly creepy, like a dangerous predator staring at its prey.

She deliberately showed this weird posture to show that her animal nature was higher than her human nature at the moment.

The green snake was afraid that after covering up these features, Chu Wuji would look at Bai Sujin's face and subconsciously treat her as his godmother and get close to her, refusing to leave.

——Although judging from the results, Chu Wuzhi will still catch up.

"Mind, communicating with you is Bai Sujin's habit, while being alone is my habit as the White Snake."

Because the woman took a long time to speak, Chu Wuji was stunned for a moment before he realized that this was a response to his previous inquiry.

After being told "don't disturb, don't make noise" so clearly, Chu Wuji did not feel disappointed. He walked out of the cave, picked up some dry firewood, drilled the wood to make a fire, and soon built a small fire.

He then sat down next to the woman and stretched his hand towards her legs.

The green snake frowned, its eyes emitting a dangerous aura, staring straight at the young man, and asked indifferently:

"What?"

Chu Wuji suppressed the anger in his heart. Compared with the previous "ghost version" of his godmother, he didn't like the current "beast version" of his godmother very much.

Because his godmother would never treat him so badly.

He would treat his godmother wholeheartedly because in the past ten years, his godmother had been very kind to this child she picked up on the street.

But Chu Wu Ji had no choice but to take things one step at a time.

He tried his best to convince himself that he was taking care of his godmother's body, not this evil white snake consciousness.

After calming down his dissatisfaction, Chu Wuji said:

"White Snake Lady, you should be more accustomed to the movements of your snake body... You just said you were tired from walking. If you want to rest now, don't cross your legs. Stretch them out and relax. This way you will recover faster."

Qing Snake didn't expect Chu Wuzhi to say this. She wanted to refuse and say that she was not tired, but then she thought that this was not appropriate!

She calculated in her mind, "A boy of this age must have a temper. If I act a little mean, maybe I can piss him off."

Although the green snake was reluctant to be touched by the opposite sex, she still acted as if she was saying "come here and serve me" with a righteous look.

She straightened her crossed legs, and Chu Wuzhi helped take off her shoes and socks, picked up a pair of white and smooth snow-white feet, and skillfully massaged her soles.

In silence, the green snake kept observing his reaction, surprised at Chu Wuzhi's calmness.

She was incredibly depressed: "This guy was really patient enough to help me massage my feet. Even a clay man should be a little angry, right?"

Unconsciously, Qingshe recalled Chu Wuzhi's performance these days and felt a little complicated.

In all aspects, Chu Wuji is qualified.

He would certainly not let his sister be sad and disappointed again. Even the prejudiced Green Snake could not find much fault with Chu Wuji.

One even thought that he might have had a brain injury and was not normal. He had briefly experienced all the luxuries in the human kingdom, and logically he should have been obsessed with them, but he just wanted to stick to his godmother.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.

Now Green Snake has become the one who was bitten. She is very scared. After experiencing the incident in the White Snake Temple, Green Snake does not want her sister to experience a similar betrayal again.

It is true that Chu Wuji is a good person, but what if his kindness makes his sister forget her scars and she becomes merciful and thinks that other human beings are the same? What should she do then?

This is by no means an unfounded worry.

At the beginning, when her sister's injuries in the White Snake Temple had not yet healed, she adopted Chu Wuzhi with a hope of getting away with it. What if she ended up with an ungrateful person?

It is very likely that she would forget her pain because of Chu Wuji, and contact the human race for the third time and show kindness to them.

Qing Snake felt that what she was doing now was probably similar to those vicious female characters in many storybooks who liked to interfere.

But she just didn't like to gamble on certain possibilities, which was equivalent to handing the initiative to strangers.

The cause of the White Snake Temple incident was that a middle-aged man came to make a scene, cursing the White Snake Temple for not protecting him from winning money in the casino.

Green Snake hates all kinds of gambling!

Thinking about this, Qingshe felt so emotional that he almost got angry for no reason.

She shifted her attention and tried to chat with Chu Wuji:

"Chu Wuji, was it Bai Sujin who taught you how to exchange medicine for the Mountain God Dog?"

Chu Wuji glanced at the woman in surprise. He didn't expect that she would actually talk to him. But thinking of her previous bad attitude, Chu Wuji immediately lowered his head and continued to massage her feet. He replied calmly:

"Yes, my mother taught me."

"Didn't she teach you to identify herbs directly?"

"If you don't have any, just let me hunt some birds and find some small animals to exchange for them."

"..."

When the green snake heard this answer, its consciousness fell into a trance, and many dusty memories slowly emerged in its mind.

Many years ago, she and her sister, the White Snake, had just been able to transform, and had not yet been worshipped in temples by humans. From time to time, people were seen being poisoned by miasma.

If Sister White Snake saw this, she would choose to go over and put the herbs nearby. She said it was a simple task, otherwise there would be too many human corpses near the cave where they practiced, and they would have to work hard to clean them up.

Sister Qingshe thought this was not a good idea, and she suggested that they demonstrate in person how to use small animals in the mountains to exchange for herbs for food, and not to get too close to humans.

If the little animals are not smart enough and don't understand the meaning of exchanging herbs, or if the passers-by don't have any food to exchange, it means that God wants to take this person away, and they sisters shouldn't steal God's people.

The two sisters even argued about this matter, and neither of them listened to the other's ideas.

Green Snake never expected that when his sister raised the child, she only taught him how to find small animals to exchange for herbs, instead of teaching him how to identify herbs!

This was really an unexpected thing. If Green Snake had not accidentally discovered this from Chu Wuzhi's behavior, she probably would not have heard her sister White Snake mention this matter.

In her heart, the elder sister actually agrees with many of Qingshe's ideas, right? She just wants to save face and doesn't say it out loud.

Thinking back to the present, Green Snake asked:

"Let me ask you, why didn't Bai Sujin teach you to identify medicinal herbs? Does she think exchanging small animals for herbs is a better method?"

Chu Wuji didn't understand why he asked this question, so he replied:

"No, my mother taught me how to identify herbs, but she noticed that I always identified the wrong ones and picked the most poisonous ones with incredible accuracy. Then she told me to stop making things difficult for myself and use a fool's trick and just go find some small animals to exchange them for her."

"..."

There was a hint of emotion on Qingshe's face, but suddenly it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on her. She looked at Chu Wuzhi expressionlessly.
