Chapter 180 Saving the Mysterious Man
Chapter 180 Saving the Mysterious Man
Just as she was hesitating, the man groaned in pain. She made her decision and rescued him to the cave. It would be up to his luck. It would be even better if he survived.
The woman chopped off a large branch, placed the man on it, and dragged him toward the cave. They soon reached the cave. The woman found a flat area and some hay outside, spread it on the ground, and placed the man on it. She felt the man's pulse, pulled a pill from her pocket, and fed it to him.
She left the man some bread she had bought in town and some water for herself. Then she followed the cave into the valley and repaired the barrier to prevent anyone from entering.
Every day she cooked something to eat and brought it to the man. She wore a turban and never showed her face. The man regained consciousness and ate all the bread she had left. He was gradually able to walk again. He also built a fire in the cave, gathering plenty of firewood. There were also fruits he had picked on the rocks.
When the woman arrived, the man hurried over. "Thank you for saving my life, young lady," he said, bowing.
"No need to thank me, I'm glad you woke up. This is the porridge I cooked, some cakes, and some pickles, just have at it." The woman said as she brought out the things.
The man was very grateful to the woman. She brought him food for a few days. The man felt much better and was able to move around.
One day, the woman brought food to the man and saw a note where the man was lying.
"Thank you, girl. I don't know your name. I have something important to go home for, but I will come to see you later. Be careful. I have cleaned up all the ashes here. The hay has also been burned. I will leave now. Thank you for your care."
The woman felt a little sad to see him go. She had no friends in the human world. She had saved this man, and they were still able to chat. And so he left. Dejected, the woman returned to the valley.
"Mom, Mom, we're hungry. It's time to eat. Mom, you should get up and eat too." Xiaoya's voice woke Qiqi. Her dream was interrupted. Qiqi woke up and recalled the dream. It seemed a little real.
Qiqi sat up, and Zhou Junya walked over and took her mother's hand, "Mom, let's eat together."
"Okay, Xiaoya. I'll wash up first. You wait for mother."
"Okay, mother. You can help me wash my hands too."
"Come, let's go together. Where are your father and brother?"
"They went to the restaurant first and said they were waiting for us to eat together. So I came to call mother."
"Xiaoya is the best, always thinking about her. Here's a milk cube as a reward."
"Thank you, mother. Mother is the best."
"You're just sweet-talking. Finish washing. Let's go eat. Come, give your mother a hug." Qiqi carried her daughter to the restaurant.
He and the others arrived at the restaurant and were waiting for them. When the master's wife saw Qiqi holding Xiaoya, she took her over.
"Xiaoya, sit here, Auntie. I'll get you whatever you want to eat."
"Thank you, Auntie. I want to drink some lean meat porridge and eat some steamed buns."
"Okay, grandma has already cooled it for you. You can eat it now." Grandma's wife brought Xiaoya a bowl of porridge and two small buns.
Xiaolan also brought the same porridge and buns to Xiaoyu.
They all smiled as they watched the two babies happily eat. "Master, let's eat too. Don't just stare at them, or our food will get cold," Qiqi said.
"Okay. Let's eat, take a rest, and then practice harder." Yun Jizi said.
"Master, we also need to intensify our training. Just like you." Zhou Junyu said.
"Okay, okay. Come eat quickly. Your master will take you to practice in a while. Finish your meal first." said the master's wife.
Zhou Jingze and Qiqi looked at the two babies with a smile. "Baby, keep practicing. Your grandfather's kingdom depends on you."
Zhou Jingze thought about his father's old age, and he wanted to train his son to succeed him. He wanted to discuss it with Qiqi. Would she agree? The two babies were very hardworking. They wanted to do whatever the adults did. Teaching by example was very important.
"Come, Master will take you to practice. Where are we going to practice?"
"Master, let's go to the Cosmic Tree. There is spiritual energy there, and cultivation will be faster."
"Okay, okay. Let's go there." Yun Jizi held one of their hands and went to the cosmic tree.
"Qiqi, let's go into the space. I want to go to the main hall to see the man in white." Zhou Jingze said.
"Master's wife, we are leaving now. The child will be left to you." Qiqi said.
"Okay, you guys go ahead. I'll go to the Universe Tree later to see the two little darlings practicing." said the master's wife.
"Qiqi, don't worry, I will go with Master's wife." Xiao Lan also said.
Qiqi and Zhou Jingze flashed into the space. Qiqi told Zhou Jingze about her dream.
Zhou Jingze analyzed, "This place was built by the woman. The Cosmic Tree couldn't have been brought here by her. It must have been a primitive place in this world. She also wrote in the letter that the Cosmic Tree is the pillar that supports this world and cannot be destroyed. You said the man must have taken the woman's sweetheart away."
Qiqi nodded. I saw that the woman felt very sorry for her. I don't know what happened. They talked as they walked. Soon they arrived at the main hall.
Zhou Jingze sat down in the front hall. Qiqi went to the old man's hall. Since the old man gave it to her, she had been there only a few times, and she had not walked through the hall once. She had no time to spare. Today, Zhou Jingze came to the woman's hall, and she planned to walk around the old man's hall to see if the old man had left any message. Who was the old man?
There was also the old man in the cave, the owner of the pangolin. The spiritual vein he gave connected with the old man's. It was so harmonious. It was basically a severed spiritual vein. Did they know each other?
Qiqi thought about this as she arrived at the old man's main hall. She entered. The door swung open with a gentle push. The hall was still empty, and the rooms inside were all open, having been ransacked by martial arts masters. In the end, the old man had sent them out without taking back anything they had taken. That was their good fortune.
Qiqi walked through the hall. The barrier behind them also disappeared. It was here that they had seen the old man. He was sitting in the main hall at the back. Qiqi bowed to him and became his successor. She then folded the main hall into her space.
Qiqi thought about the old man's voice, smile, and appearance. He was a kind-hearted man. Whatever he had encountered in his life, it hadn't worn away his kindness. Kindness is ingrained in his bones, and no matter what injustices he encountered, it couldn't erase the goodness within him. She entered the back hall. There were many calligraphy and paintings inside. Many vases were placed on the shelves.
Qiqi saw a portrait of a woman behind a screen in the back hall. The woman's voice, appearance, and smile were all lifelike. What was the relationship between this woman and the old man?
