In the seventh month of the year, when the sun was blazing and the heat was unbearable, a great banyan tree stood at the intersection of the valley.
Under the tree, Leng Ruo Bing was napping, it had already been two hours since Lin Zhi went to bid farewell to the Valley Master of the deer valley, she knew that he was the most long-winded, but in truth, she had to go and thank him, after all, it was the Deer Godly Doctor who pulled her life away from the gates of hell, but in terms of expressing her feelings, Leng Rui Bing was not very good at it, her logic was that if she wanted to express her feelings with just a few words, why did she say so much? She even regretted handing the job of bidding farewell to Lin Tuo'er. However, she was also very satisfied to be able to enjoy this moment of tranquility and freshness.
A breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of herbs, which seemed to be slowly melting away the anxiety and uneasiness in Icy Cold Ice's heart. A breeze blew by, bringing with it the fragrance of herbs, which seemed to be melting away the anxiety and uneasiness in Icy Cold Ice's heart.
When Leng Ruoxi was young, her name was Leng Yunxi, her father was Leng Tieyu, her mother was called Yue Wei E, Leng Tieyu and her younger brother was called Leng Tieshou. When the three of them were under the Golden Spear Sect, Leng Tieyu and Yue Ying were under the Golden Spear Sect. Therefore, Cold-Iron Hand practiced the Eight Style Plum Blossom Spear in a depressed and dejected manner, but in the end, no matter what, Ao Xue couldn't master the final move, so he went to ask his master.
Leng Tieshou felt that his master was just giving him a perfunctory response and was unwilling to see his elder brother and Yue Wan together every day. Thus, he angrily left the Golden Spear Sect. He returned to his hometown and opened an escort office, which was called the Sky Escort Office. Three years later, Leng Tie finally left the mountain, and when he returned home, he also opened a escort office, which was called the Wu Wei Escort Office.
The truth was that he wanted to ask Yue Wanye about it when he went to congratulate his big brother. However, when he arrived, he found out that Yue Wanye and his big brother had become husband and wife, and his mood had plummeted. After a few words, Leng Tieshou returned to the escort company with a heart filled with nostalgia, and within a month, he had found a girl to marry him. During this time, he did not even inform his big brother's sister-in-law.
Perhaps the emotional pain would slowly heal as time went by, but what happened next made Leng Tieshou even more unable to accept it. Unlike his younger brother, Leng Tieshou, who was born to be crafty and fussy, Leng Tieshou's business was flourishing. Many of his old customers had gone to Leng Tieshou, and the business had become much colder all of a sudden. Because of this, Leng Tieshou's wife quarreled with him every day, causing him to be extremely annoyed.
Every time Leng Tiesyou and Yue Wan E left the escort company, they would ask the butler and the wet nurse to take care of the young Leng Yunxi. Each time he took out a dart, it would take him at least a month or at most half a year. Every time her parents went out, Xiao Yunxi would stay at home and count the days. At night, she would look at the ladle in the sky, hoping that the ladle would break soon, because her housekeeper uncle had told her that her parents would come back every time the ladle broke.
Whenever the spoon's handle was off, her parents would always come back. Every time Yunxi saw a string of candied fruits appear at the entrance of the yard, they would run to the door and throw their arms into her father's arms, and her father would hug her with his whiskers and caress her little face, and then suddenly lift her head up and let her ride on his shoulder. While Yun Xi happily ate the candied fruits on her father's shoulder, her mother would open her arms and smile at this moment, saying, "Son, let me hug you." After putting Yun Xi down, Leng Tiesyou ran into his mother's embrace. His mother kissed her cheeks before holding her in his arms. He shook her gently and asked in a soft voice, "Xi'er, have you missed your mother and father recently?" Yun Xi shook her head playfully and replied, "No." When Mother heard him, she squeaked and asked, "Scoundrel, have you thought about it? Have you thought about it? " Yun Xi giggled and stuck her head deep into her mother's bosom. She sniffed her mother's scent with all her might and felt that she was so happy and warm at the moment. She only wished she could stay here for the rest of her life.
Ten years ago, her parents had gone on a long journey. She had been sitting in the yard every day, hoping for the candied fruits to appear at the door, hoping for the spoon to bend again, hoping, hoping, that if it wasn't raining, she would be sitting in the yard, the peach tree in the yard would be blooming until the flowers were falling, the ladle star would be straight and curved, the swallow would come and go, but her parents wouldn't come back. Every day she would ask the same question to the butler, causing the housekeeper to be at a loss as to how to answer.
Spring arrived as scheduled, and the peach blossoms in the courtyard bloomed once more. However, there was not a single trace of spring in the air. For several days, the sky was overcast and did not have the feeling of wanting a clear day. The cold wind was blowing hard. Looking at the gloomy sky, the housekeeper unknowingly muttered to himself, "Not good, not good at all."
After a night, the earth was wrapped in silver. When she woke up again and saw the housekeeper and the wet nurse, she saw that their eyes were red and swollen. The housekeeper came to the front of Yunxi's bed with tears in his eyes and gently caressed her forehead, asking if she was willing to live with the aunt and uncle. Naturally, Xiao Yunxi did not understand this, and looked at the housekeeper in confusion.
No matter how helpless she was, Xiao Yunxi was still taken away by Coldsteel Hand. On the day she left, the housekeeper wiped his tears away while the wet nurse chased after the carriage until it disappeared into the end of the road.
Ever since the first day she came to her uncle's house, Xiao Yunxi had been treated coldly, especially when her aunt, Mrs. Ding, had raised her eyebrows at her and argued with Coldsteel every day, accusing him of bringing back a burden. At the beginning, her uncle had more or less protected her, but afterwards, he had ignored her and allowed her to criticize and insult him.
Cold-Iron Hand and Ding family had one daughter, named Xiang Xiang, two years younger than Yun Xi. Usually, they spoiled her so much that she acted arrogantly, ordering Yun Xi around like a servant girl. Poor Yun Xi had to do rough work at such a young age, chopping firewood, jumping in water, washing clothes, and feeding pigs … … these were all jobs that a seven-year-old girl could do.
Once, Coldsteel and Tinker quarreled again. Their precious daughter was ill, and suffered from a strange disease that was very difficult to treat. There were several other teachers, including an old man who said that a Chinese herbal prescription called "Unrepentant Grass" was needed to cure such a strange disease. But if they could not find it within two days, they would not be able to do anything about it even if they were gods.
This kind of Unrepentant Grass was very widespread, but it was very difficult to pick because it grew specifically on steep cliffs. The Ding family loved its daughter and trusted her husband's words very much, so they couldn't wait to find this Unrepentant Grass, but Leng Tieshou didn't believe what the old man said. He would rather find another famous doctor to treat his daughter.
She was especially good to Yunxi. When Yunxi saw her aunt, who had always been cold to her, treat her so well, as if she had been warm to her family all those years ago, she felt a sudden warmth in her heart. Her aunt talked about Yun Xi for a long time, but in the end, she still talked about treating her sister's illness. In fact, Yun Xi also felt very uncomfortable, looking at her sister's growing pain and exhaustion, looking at her uncle and aunt's worry every day, she felt that she was just a useless person.
Although the mountain was very unfamiliar to the Ding family, it was very familiar to Yun Xi because she often went up to chop wood and was very familiar with the environment there. Under the lead of Yun Xi, they soon arrived at the peak of the mountain.
Finally, they found the Grass of No Regret mentioned by the old man in the middle of a narrow cliff. However, it was only a single herb, which was sacred in his eyes, but not to be scoffed at. He was excited for a moment, and became worried again about how to pluck it.
But before she could say anything, Xiao Yunxi volunteered herself and came to the edge of the cliff. Her thin and weak body carefully and with difficulty leaned against the Grass of No Regret, while Mrs Ding waited anxiously on the cliff. Although the sky was cold, she was sweating profusely. No! She was afraid that Yun Xi would lose her footing and waste that herb. Yun Xi's life was not worth living for, but if she couldn't get that herb back, then her precious daughter would die as well.
Ding was paying close attention to Yun Xi's every move. She was afraid that if Yun Xi failed, she would be the first to catch the life-saving grass.
Yun Xi tried her best to climb to the protruding rock closest to the Grass of No Regret. The rock was covered in ice and was very smooth. Yun Xi carefully climbed over the rock and finally picked up the stalk of No Regret Grass. She shook the blade of grass in her hand and innocently smiled at her aunt.
Yun Xi climbed up the cliff with much difficulty. When she was about to meet her aunt, she handed the Grass of No Regret to her. When she saw the opportunity, she immediately took the Grass of No Regret and held it tightly in her hand.
Suddenly, Yun Xi's feet slipped and she fell down the cliff. In her panic, she managed to grab onto a dead tree root and hung herself on the cliff, swaying in the cold wind. She called out to her aunt with all her might, looking at her with pleading eyes. Dante just glanced at her coldly from the cliff, put the Grass of No Regret into his arms, and walked away without looking back.
The coldness in his eyes was even colder than the cold winter wind. It deeply pierced Yun Xi's heart. She closed her eyes and slowly released the grip on the tree root. She fell straight down.
At this moment, a black shadow flashed by, and the small figure was hugged tightly in his embrace. Yun Xi was scared out of her wits. She fainted before she could even see the man's face.
