Chapter 1067: Searching for Medicine
Yang Yiyi has never been to any place with particularly bad natural conditions. Even in southern Xinjiang, it is only unsuitable for living, and there are no natural disasters.
But it is different near the Western Regions.
The dry sand will be carried south by the monsoon in spring and autumn every year. Every time at this time, you will find that the roof tiles are full of sand when you wake up in the morning, and you wish that the house will be buried.
Sometimes when the sandstorm is particularly severe, it will even sweep people away. It is not a joke.
Originally, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi wanted to walk around Luoxiadu to see the exotic customs that are different from the hinterland of the Central Plains. When they heard what the shopkeeper said, they didn't dare to go out.
They were very lucky. Just after they opened the room, the sky outside began to change. It was dim at first, then dim, and finally dark.
The strong wind blew through the door panels and windows. The shopkeeper quickly asked the waiter to lock all the doors and windows to prevent sand from entering.
But to be honest, the effect was not very obvious.
Sitting in the hall and planning to eat, Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi felt their noses itching more and more. A strong smell of dust kept irritating their nerves. The lit oil lamp also swayed left and right with the wind coming in through the gap, stretching the shadows of all the people eating in the hall thin and long.
In the end, nothing could be seen except the lights. It was clearly daytime, but the sandstorm covered the sky and was darker than a starless night.
The locals must have been used to it, but people like Yang Yiyi who came to Luoxiadu for the first time would feel panic because of the drastic changes in the environment. Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi also sat closer unconsciously.
The inn was still operating normally. When the waiter brought the food, they could really feel the harm of the sandstorm.
Damn, it hurts my teeth.
It feels like there is sand in the steamed buns when I bite it, and it feels like sand is used as seasoning in the cold dishes.
It's uncomfortable. I don't know how long this damn weather will last.
Although the food smelled of dust and was a bit irritating, it was definitely not worth wasting. Yang Yiyi endured the discomfort and ate as much as she could.
What was even worse was that someone knocked on the door of the inn at this time, and the waiter went over to open it.
The strong wind swept through the lobby of the inn, and the wind and sand added a handful of sand to the dusty food in front of everyone. Even if the door was closed immediately after people came in, the people eating in the lobby cursed. ,
"Damn it! Why are you opening the door!"
The shopkeeper angrily scolded the waiter, who should have come recently and probably didn't know the current situation, and seemed a little aggrieved.
"Don't blame me, boss."
The person who came in should be a man, but it was dim and I couldn't see clearly. I could only vaguely see him clasping his fists:
"Don't blame me, everyone. I will pay for your meals today. The weather is bad, and I came in in a hurry. I am sorry to trouble you."
When they heard that someone was paying for it, everyone's face looked better.
The man said to the shopkeeper again:
"Excuse me, are there any guest rooms?"
"Sir, you came at an untimely time. All the rooms have been booked. If you don't mind, you can sleep on the floor in the lobby."
After all, there was a sandstorm outside, and the shopkeeper couldn't kick people out.
"Thank you very much. Alas, this horrible weather."
The man complained a few words and said:
"Please send some food, brother. I'm so hungry after traveling so far."
"Okay, sir, please come in. There are seats inside."
At this time, the man followed the waiter and walked a few steps into the light range of the oil lamp. He just happened to see Yang Yiyi and Wu Shaoyi.
"Miss Yang? Miss Wu? Why are you here?"
This person is Jiao Wenlong.
–--——---——
Yang Yiyi's deepest impression of Jiao Wenlong was the light skill of stepping on his right foot with his left foot to ascend to heaven on the spot.
The last time we met was in Xiashan Town in Southern Xinjiang, but it was only a one-time encounter. This time, I actually ran into him again in Luoxia Ferry.
Since they knew each other, Jiao Wenlong didn't go anywhere else. He said something to the waiter, put the wine and food on the table again, and sat at the same table with Yang Yiyi and the others.
"I remember that Miss Yang, you guys didn't go to Southern Xinjiang? Why did you suddenly run to Luoxia Ferry again?"
Yang Yiyi was about to open her mouth, but suddenly remembered that helping Ning Xian'er deliver the letter was a secret, and she couldn't talk about it casually.
She finally grew up and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Wu Shaoyi was afraid that he would be discovered, so he smiled and said:
"We have traveled here for a long time, and we don't have any goals. Why did Mr. Jiao come to Luoxia Ferry?"
Jiao Wenlong may not have thought much about it. Anyway, people in the martial arts world are running around everywhere, so it's normal to go anywhere.
He answered naturally:
"I came to Luoxia Ferry to collect a medicinal material."
Yang Yiyi then remembered that she had met Jiao Wenlong in southern Xinjiang before, and he also said that he was going to southern Xinjiang to find medicinal materials.
"What medicinal material?"
"A special kind of snow lotus, different from most snow lotuses, it is blood-colored."
Yang Yiyi didn't know what it was, but Wu Shaoyi frowned immediately when he heard it.
"Frozen blood lotus, this is not an easy thing to find..."
It's not a question of whether it's easy to find, but a question of whether it exists, which has become a legend.
It is said that this thing is shaped like colored glaze, light red or pink, and only appears in the Western Regions. It can revive the dead and turn bones into white bones. Smelling it will eliminate all the diseases. Eating it can cure all diseases. Even if you are dying, you can prolong your life for ten years.
"Mr. Jiao, is there someone in your family who is seriously ill?"
Look, Yang Yiyi is still so good at asking questions.
Jiao Wenlong was not annoyed and explained:
"It's my mother. Alas, it's all my fault. My mother was already weak and sick, and she had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to me. She lost most of her life. Her health hasn't gotten better since then, and it's gotten worse in recent years. I'm worried..."
This is also the reason why Jiao Wenlong is looking for medicine everywhere.
Judging from the way Jiao Wenlong is dressed, he is definitely not an ordinary person. He is probably a young man from a wealthy family. Even he can't find any other way but to rely on legends. This shows that this disease must be particularly difficult.
"Have you ever been to Taohuawu? The doctors there are very good."
Yang Yiyi still recommended it here. Jiao Wenlong shook his head after hearing this:
"I have already asked a doctor from Taohuawu to take a look. The doctor said that my mother only has three years to live. As for the life after three years, it depends on luck."
"..."
Jiao Wenlong went to the Young Heroes Association just as a drop-in. He originally went to Lei Shan Zang first to see if there was any magic medicine that could save his mother. When it failed, he ran to Taohuawu to ask for a doctor.
After that, he immediately went south to southern Xinjiang and found a lot of precious medicinal materials, but he still had no way to save his life.
I really had tried every possible method, and tried every possible method, but I had no choice, so I had no choice but to turn to the legendary magical medicine Frozen Blood Lotus.
Seeing Jiao Wenlong's filial piety, Yang Yiyi was a little moved. She patted her chest and said:
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiao, as long as this Frozen Blood Lotus really exists, I will definitely help you."
She even thought about asking Li Chengqi later, maybe the immortal had a way to extend people's lives.
——This girl is really sincere.
