Chapter 163 Finding the Medicine
Chapter 163 Finding the Medicine
The girl felt her weak body and the fading spiritual energy.
She realized that she might not have all the time she needed to repay his kindness, and the thought made her feel a little depressed.
"How long can my body hold out?"
The girl asked.
Her voice was surprisingly calm, as if she was asking about an extremely ordinary matter, without the slightest ripple.
After hearing the girl's calm voice, the boy did not answer but remained silent.
Seeing that the boy remained silent, the girl understood.
The situation is probably not optimistic.
After a moment of silence, the young man spoke: "The court doctor said that your condition is caused by the burning of your heart blood, and your spiritual energy and vitality have been damaged."
"They have no way to heal them."
The young man paused and continued, "But I also consulted a famous doctor these days. She said it's okay to try, but..."
Having said this, the young man hesitated, as if he had something to hide.
"Just what?"
The girl pressed on, her voice calm but her eyes revealing a hint of determination.
The boy, who was originally hesitant, raised his head and met the girl's bright eyes.
At that moment, he seemed to see the determination deep in the girl's heart.
He suddenly realized that he should not have hesitated from the beginning.
Just like the memories he saw in the spirit pearl, the girl had a mind that surpassed her peers.
The young man figured things out. He took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "She said she needed a certain medicine. This medicine is very difficult to obtain. I've already sent people to look for it everywhere."
"But even if you find this medicine, I'm afraid your body won't be able to fully recover."
The girl frowned slightly, as if she thought the boy was just trying to comfort her, and asked softly, "Is that so?"
The young man sighed and continued, "Because even if you recover, your physical foundation will become very fragile, and you will no longer be able to practice Taoism."
After saying this, the boy felt heavy and he didn't know how to face this fact.
Because he couldn't imagine what a heavy blow this was to the girl.
But at the same time, he also felt relieved.
So the boy no longer hesitated, he knew that some things had to be told honestly.
So he told the girl all his worries and hopes.
"Although that medicine is extremely difficult to find in Li Country, fortunately, I heard that there is a valley in the North Country where the environment is particularly suitable for the growth of this medicinal herb."
"Maybe we can try our luck."
"And many medicine dealers have purchased this medicinal material at the northern border."
"I think there's a good chance we can find it."
The girl listened quietly, without much expression on her face.
But she already had the worst possible outcome in mind.
"What if you can't find it?"
"..."
The boy was silent again.
But this time it was much shorter.
"Three months."
Three simple words, not loud but powerful.
When the boy finished speaking, the girl smiled slightly. Her pretty face should have been as bright as the sun because of her smile, but now it looked a little pale.
The girl slowly spoke: "I understand. Thank you for telling me this."
"I will do everything in my power to survive."
After hearing what the girl said, the boy's body shook, as if something hit his heart, and he was stunned.
He silently repeated the girl's words in his heart: "Live to the best of your ability."
These words touched his heart deeply and made him feel heartbroken.
Yes, her wish has always been to be able to live and live well.
This seemingly simple wish actually contains endless hardships.
Various difficulties make this wish so difficult.
It is precisely because of this persistence and desire for life that she always perseveres in her efforts.
The boy didn't know how to respond for a moment. He felt his throat tighten and couldn't utter a word.
At this time, the girl came over to comfort him. She patted the boy's shoulder gently and spoke softly.
"Didn't you say there's hope? Then don't be so depressed. As long as there's hope, we can keep going."
The girl looked at the boy's bitter face and felt a little distressed.
“So smile a little.”
As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and gently poked the boy's wrinkled face, trying to help him draw a smile.
The boy was a little embarrassed, with an unnatural expression on his face, but he still managed a forced smile.
Seeing his appearance, the girl couldn't help but burst into laughter and teased him.
"Oh my, it's really ugly! Hahahaha..."
After the ridicule, the girl seemed to feel much better and a bright smile appeared on her face again.
She whispered, "Even if I die..."
The boy quickly interrupted her, tightly grasped the girl's hand that was poking his face, and said firmly.
"Will not."
He hurriedly stopped the girl from saying anything else.
Then the boy realized that his actions were a bit abrupt.
He quickly placed the girl's hand under the quilt on the bed and pulled the quilt up again.
The boy did it in one go, a little shyly, and then scratched his head before continuing.
"I'll find the medicine."
The girl looked at everything in front of her, a faint smile on her lips, her eyes clear and bright.
Her smile is like a flower blooming in spring, radiating warmth and sweetness.
There wasn't much awkwardness between the two of them, as if they had known each other for a long time.
The girl has been raised at home since she was young, and her personality is independent and free, without too many constraints.
The young man was a man who had never cared about trivial matters since childhood. He came from a family of military generals, had a pure mind and was not at all artificial.
When the young man saw Ning Yuanbu's memories, an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.
Now, after this short time together, he found that his feelings for the girl had deepened.
This feeling is like a seed, slowly sprouting and growing in my heart.
As time passed, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat subtle.
Seeing that the boy had not spoken for a long time, the girl spoke to break the silence.
Her voice was soft and melodious, like a spring breeze, gently touching the boy's heartstrings.
"I have one last favor to ask of you..."
There was a hint of apology in her tone.
She knew that she owed the boy too much, but she still hoped to get his help in this matter.
Hearing these words, the young man immediately raised his head, looking at the girl in front of him with focused eyes, with a bright light flashing in his eyes.
"what's up?"
He asked without hesitation or courtesy.
The girl nodded slightly, a hint of warmth flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to contact my sister."
The boy nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll help you contact her."
After a while, the girl shook her head gently, with a complex expression in her eyes.
She bit her lip lightly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, she slowly said, "Wait a little longer."
The boy didn't ask any more questions. He just looked at the girl quietly and nodded without hesitation.
"it is good."
The girl was a little overwhelmed by the boy's directness. She couldn't help laughing and asked curiously, "Don't you want to know why I'm waiting?"
The boy rarely smiled, and his smile was as warm as the sunshine.
He said gently, "Wait until I find the medicine."
That's right, there are some things he didn't say, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know them.
However, some things do not need to be said so clearly, because both the girl and the boy know it well.
It's a kind of waiting, both hoping that he can find the medicine and worrying that he can't find it.
Whether it is life or death, it is the fate they must face.
If she didn't find it, there was no need for the girl to agree to her sister's bad news.
The girl was a little surprised, she was amazed at the boy's attentiveness. She never thought that he could understand her thoughts so well.
"Thank you."
She said gratefully, a twinkle in her eye.
The boy smiled and nodded, his eyes full of determination.
"Do you believe me?"
The girl had said everything she wanted to say, and her mood became much lighter, so she joked.
"Do not believe……"
The boy's originally determined eyes suddenly became a little listless, and he looked at the girl on the bed with resentment.
"why is it like this……"
The girl couldn't help but laugh when she saw the boy's expression.
"Hahaha……"
