[Dominate Imperial Academy] Paradise in the depths of the snow-capped mountains [27]
The night is getting deeper and deeper, the stars are dimming, and the bright moon is unknown when it is obscured by thick clouds, revealing a faint light and shining on the silent snow.
Deep in the snow-capped mountains, there is a unique place with bright spring and abundant greenery.
It is only a mountain away from the thousands of miles of ice-covered Tianshan Mountains. But the mountains and fields here are lush and green, and there is no trace of snow at all.
Deep in the woods is a small courtyard. The courtyard is extremely simple and has no inscription.
The fence surrounding the cabin is in tatters, as if the owner has been away from home for many years.
But the quiet medicinal fragrance that filled the garden hinted that there were people living here.
It was already late at night, but the medicine stove in the corner of the small courtyard kept making a popping sound. The person making the medicine was an old man who seemed to be in his eighties. His hair was casually draped in silver, and he looked a bit slovenly.
He sat on a small stool, dozing off and on, adding some herbs to the medicine stove from time to time. His eyes were slightly weathered, but they were clear and bright, without any trace of fatigue.
"Alas..." A childish sigh suddenly came from the silent courtyard.
The old man who was preparing the medicine looked around and saw a chubby and extremely cute little boy sitting at the door of the hut. He held his chin with both hands and looked at the unknown distance with his clear and charming phoenix eyes. From his small and cute mouth, he uttered words from time to time.
Sighing like a little adult.
"Xiaodouzi, why are you sighing?"
"Grandpa Yao, why hasn't mother come to take me down the mountain?" The one who sighed was naturally Zhong Doudou, who was brought up the mountain by Yao Wuhua. It was already late at night, and mother should come back even if she went hunting in the mountain.
Oh! Why, just leave him alone on the mountain?
The grandpa Yao in Zhong Doudou’s mouth is the Yao Lao from the Yaowang Valley deep in the Tianshan Mountains.
Except for the students of the Imperial Academy, he didn't even raise his eyebrows when the King of Heaven came.
The ability to heal illnesses and save people has never appeared in his dictionary.
"Grandpa, isn't it good here? Grandpa's place is as warm as spring, but it's much more comfortable than the icy and snowy place down there." Yao Lao obviously liked this very cute little guy.
He waved a broken fan, came to Zhong Doudou, sat with him on the threshold in front of the house, and said pleasantly.
"It's great here, Grandpa Yao, but Doudou still misses his mother so much!" Zhong Doudou smiled sweetly at Yao Lao, which made the old man's heart break.
"It's very dangerous at night in Tianshan Mountain. Your mother will definitely ask Xiao Huazi to take you up the mountain to pick you up tomorrow morning."
Little Huazi? Zhong Doudou couldn't help but burst into laughter. The beautiful Uncle Hua actually has such a cute name?
"Grandpa Yao, isn't Uncle Li already well? Why are you still asleep?" Yao Lao mentioned Yao Wuhua, which reminded Zhong Doudou that Uncle Hua had told him that Uncle Li had woken up and was still awake.
He said he would go to Imperial College in a few days! Why has it taken him so long to come? Uncle Li has been sleeping the whole time!
"This kid doesn't care about his own life. He knows that the poison poisoned by me, Yao Lao, is incurable, but he still tortures himself." Mentioning Xuanyuan Li, Yao Lao immediately blew his beard and glared. The silver beard was curled up and up, very
It's funny.
"Grandpa Yao, is there really no cure?" Zhong Doudou's eyes were obviously anxious, "But my mother said that everything in the world is interdependent, and no matter how powerful the poison is, there must be a solution.
"
"Your mother also knows medicine?" There was a hint of interest in Yao Lao's eyes. This boy has been talking about his mother all day long. That guy Xiaolion stabbed himself to death for his mother. He is not interested in this yet.
The woman I met was very curious.
"Well, my mother knows a lot. She knows how to poison, cure diseases, make elixirs, and everything else!" When mentioning her mother, Zhong Doudou immediately brightened up. Her pair of phoenix eyes were like stars in the sky falling into her eyes, overflowing with light and dazzling.
.
"Oh, compared to your Grandpa Yao?" Yao Lao became more and more interested. Xuanyuan Continent was just a child when it came to poisoning. Those poisons he developed even made him feel embarrassed.
"No comparison." Zhong Doudou said simply and neatly.
"Why can't we compare?" Yao Lao was a little puzzled.
"Grandpa Yao is so old that even if you win, it's not something to be proud of!" Of course Zhong Doudou knew that Yao Yao was so old today that he was simply a legend in Xuanyuan Continent.
It's a pity that this legend doesn't like creating legends very much.
As for his mother, he is very sure that in the near future, the legend of Xuanyuan Continent will be his and his mother.
Yao Lao was so embarrassed by Zhong Doudou's words that his face was filled with black lines.
I really can't afford to be such an honest little guy.
The two of them were talking in low voices when suddenly the wooden fence outside the courtyard was pushed open with a creak, and Yao Wuhua, who had a somewhat bad expression on his face, rushed in.
"Master, is Xiao Lili awake?" Yao Wuhua asked anxiously after entering the courtyard.
Zhong Doudou is sweating all over his head. What does inheritance mean?
"What are you talking about? Even if you wake up, it's still late at night. Who's not sleeping?" Facing Yao Wuhua, Yao Lao didn't look pleasant at all and growled at him angrily.
"Uncle Hua, has something happened to my mother?" Zhong Doudou saw Yao Wuhua's nervous expression, stood up hurriedly, and went to greet her.
"No, Uncle Hua came to see you Uncle Li for something." Yao Wuhua then saw a little guy sitting next to Yao Lao. He quickly adjusted his mood, faced Zhong Doudou with a smile on his face, and walked around Zhong Doudou.
Dou, with his sharp knife, struck at Yaolao one after another.
"Where is mother? Why didn't she come up with you to take Doudou back?" Zhong Doudou's big eyes were filled with confusion.
"Your mother is too tired from hunting and has rested early. I plan to come and pick you up early tomorrow morning!" Yao Wuhua lied casually. If the little devil knew that his mother was still trapped in the Death Forest, this would
The world is going to be in chaos, okay?
"You should go to bed quickly. You can see your mother when you open your eyes tomorrow!" Touching Zhong Doudou's silky hair, Yao Wuhua unconsciously slowed down her speech, and her voice was a bit gentle.
"Then what are you asking Uncle Li for?" Zhong Doudou is a typical type of person who breaks the pot and asks what's going on.
"It's something in the academy." Yao Wuhua lied without any hint of guilt, then winked fiercely at Yao Lao.
Yao Lao was indifferent, "Huh, who told you to fly the knife at me just now? You can deal with it yourself."
Yao Wuhua was on the verge of tears. She had never seen such a narrow-minded old guy.
He had no choice but to squat down and pick up Zhong Doudou, "Uncle Hua, take you to bed, okay?"
"Uncle Hua, can you take me down the mountain? I miss my mother so much." Zhong Doudou wrapped his hands around Yao Wuhua's neck, with a pair of phoenix eyes full of prayer.
