Chapter 132: In Chaos
He frowned and clenched his hands into fists unconsciously. He looked so nervous that it seemed as if all the strength in his body was concentrated together, just waiting for a positive answer.
His eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, were now looking at Master Xiao with anticipation, as if he wanted to get a glimmer of hope from the other party.
Under Dongfang Ti's earnest gaze, Imperial Preceptor Xiao pursed his lips, shook his head helplessly, and slowly said, "The medicinal properties of these medicines are too weak. I'm afraid they can't cure Qing Mo's illness... But it's better than nothing. It can still play some role and temporarily stabilize the condition. Now quickly boil it and let Qing Mo take it. Then we must hurry and continue on our journey to the next town to look for better herbs and see if we can get some luck."
After hearing this, although everyone present was inevitably disappointed, they all understood that things had come to this point and only by taking action as soon as possible could they save Dongfang Qingmo.
So they all started to get busy. Some were responsible for making the fire and adding firewood, while others carefully put the herbs into the pot and stirred constantly to ensure that the medicinal effects were fully released.
Huangfu Yi stood quietly beside the medicine jar from beginning to end, refusing to leave.
His eyes were fixed on the medicine jar that was bubbling and steaming, without blinking.
After the medicine was boiled, the soup with a rich herbal aroma was served in a worn porcelain bowl.
Qian Shuishui carefully picked up the bowl, gently blew away the heat on the surface, and then slowly poured the bitter medicine into Dongfang Qingmo's mouth.
Although she was unconscious and vomited a lot, at least some of it was fed to her.
After a moment, her originally pale face gradually turned red.
Dongfang Qingshui took the empty bowl.
Qian Shuishui quickly picked up a silk handkerchief and gently wiped off the medicine stains left at the corners of Dongfang Qingmo's mouth.
Her movements were extremely detailed.
Everyone packed their luggage and immediately set off for the next town.
Everyone was silent along the way, feeling extremely heavy-hearted.
After a long journey, when they finally arrived at the small town, the sun had already set and the sky was gradually getting darker.
However, the scene before them was horrifying - the whole town was filled with a strong smell of death, corpses were lying in all directions on the streets, and blood dyed the ground red, which was shocking.
Looking around, there was not a single living person in sight.
Master Xiao opened his eyes wide, looking at the horrific scene in front of him with horror.
His body began to tremble involuntarily, his lips quivered but he couldn't utter a word.
Seeing such a cruel and bloody scene, the grief and anger in his heart instantly intertwined, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
Is this God's will to destroy our Qizhou Kingdom? ! !
"It seems that An Wuhen has left here!" Dongfang Ti pursed his lips tightly and looked around with a serious look.
Dongfang Qingshui on the side gritted his teeth and looked from time to time at Dongfang Qingmo, who was still in a coma and parked in a carriage not far away.
During this period of time, they had experienced too many life-and-death fights and bloody scenes, so when they saw the corpses lying all over the ground, Dongfang Qingshui felt a sense of numbness deep in his heart.
At this time, the previously silent Xiao Guoshi finally spoke up to break the deadlock: "For now, let's first look for some useful herbs... After all, if we want to wake Miss Qing Mo, we need these herbs."
As soon as he finished speaking, Huangfu Yi quickly stepped forward and handed a bulging bag of medicinal herbs to Master Xiao.
Huangfu Yi had keenly noticed people's demand for medicinal materials as early as when he first entered this town.
So, without any delay, he took quick action and started searching everywhere.
Although the medicinal materials found in this town were not much different from those in the town they had passed before, and most of them were just ordinary, low-grade medicines, it was undoubtedly a timely help for them who were in urgent need of medicine at the moment.
Dongfang Ti saw this and hurried forward, clasped his fists and bowed to Huangfu Yi, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Young Master Huangfu, for your help! We will definitely remember this kindness in our hearts."
To be honest, before this, Dongfang Ti had never realized that Young Master Huangfu was so thoughtful, considerate and helpful.
Dongfang Ti looked at Huangfu Yi thoughtfully, then turned to look at Dongfang Qingmo lying in the carriage. The previous interactions between the two and their respective unusual reactions emerged in his mind.
In an instant, he seemed to understand some of the reasons, and thought to himself: "Could it be... that there is some special feeling between these two people?"
Qian Shuishui rolled her eyes in disdain, thinking to herself: How could these people know how Huangfu Yi treated Qing Mo before!
Humph, she is the only one who knows the inside story.
So, no matter what, she would never give Huangfu Yi a good look.
At this moment, she only hoped that Qingmo would wake up quickly, safe and sound.
Qingmo is someone she cares about very much.
Master Xiao on the side nodded slightly in agreement and said slowly: "Young Master Huangfu is really thoughtful this time. There is no time to lose, let's boil the medicine first, and then set off immediately after Qingmo takes it." He knew very well that this place had already fallen, and staying any longer would not only be useless, but might also increase the danger.
Hearing this, Dongfang Qingshui's face immediately filled with smiles. He hurriedly thanked Huangfu Yi repeatedly, and then quickly went to light a fire and boil water.
Qingliu quickly took out the pot that had been used to boil medicine from his bag, cleaned it carefully, and handed it respectfully to Master Xiao.
Master Xiao carefully picked out the various herbs needed one by one with a focused gaze and placed them cautiously into the medicine jar.
Then, Qingliu took the medicine pot, found some raw water and rinsed it carefully, and then officially started this rather long journey of boiling medicine.
When the pot of medicine with a strong herbal aroma was finally cooked, Qingliu gently took it off the fire and set it aside to cool for a while.
She stared at the medicine in the pot intently, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.
When the temperature was suitable, Qingliu took a deep breath, held the medicine bowl steadily with both hands, walked to Dongfang Qingmo, and handed it to Qian Shuishui.
"Miss Qian."
Qian Shuishui nodded and took the medicine bowl gently and carefully, fearing that a drop of medicine would be spilled accidentally.
Qian Shuishui carefully put spoonfuls of warm medicine into Dongfang Qingmo's mouth, carefully observing her reaction with each spoonful to ensure that she could swallow it smoothly.
Dongfang Qingshui and Qingliu watched nervously from the side, and Huangfu Yi, who was not far away, also cast his eyes on her intentionally or unintentionally.
Just like that, Dongfang Qingmo finally finished drinking the entire bowl of medicine.
Qian Shuishui gently put down the empty bowl and used a handkerchief to wipe away the medicine stains left at the corners of Dongfang Qingmo's mouth.
After doing all this, she tucked in the quilt for Dongfang Qingmo.
After a while, Qian Shuishui breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Dongfang Qingmo's complexion seemed to be better than before.
After giving the medicine, they continued on their way.
On the way, no one noticed that a barely perceptible pink light suddenly flashed in Qian Shuishui's arms.
The pink light seemed to have life, quietly emerging from her embrace and entering Dongfang Qingmo's body at an extremely fast speed...
-
When Dongfang Qingmo slowly opened his eyes, what he saw before him was an endless chaotic world.
This chaos was like a thick fog that tightly wrapped her up, making her feel inexplicably panicked and confused.
"Where the hell is this? Am I really dead?!" Dongfang Qingmo shouted with a trembling voice, but the only response she got was a dull and empty echo, as if she was the only one left in the whole world, lonely and helpless.
Shouldn't she be staying in the small town with her uncle and the others right now?!
