MTL - Warm Fuzzies-Chapter 36
After a while, Shaoyin and Xueli returned to the house with a big snow wolf behind them.
The first thing Shaoyin did when he returned to the house was to check the situation inside.
Because there is a den of a big snow wolf and two little tigers in the room, the decoration is completely different from the past. Shelves, boxes and desks are all piled up on one side, which looks very crowded, and there seems to be more in Sydney's own room. There are a lot of things, but Shaoyin's own room is still the same as in the past, Sydney hasn't been touched at all, and it seems that she often goes in to tidy up.
Shaoyin rummaged through the boxes in the house again, and was surprised to find that the box of radishes she left for Sydney was actually empty! The bottom of the box was empty and seemed to have been washed.
Shaoyin raised her eyebrows in surprise. One must know that the little white fox raised at home would never eat radishes without her watching in the past. He would rather hide the radishes until she gets home and be scolded. Why is he so obedient this time?
Shaoyin showed a surprised look, closed the radish box, and went to rummage through other boxes.
The white deer and the other small animals stayed outside the house obediently, and only poked their heads out of the door to look inside the house nervously.
"Xiaolu, isn't Aunt Shao angry?"
The little rabbit grabbed the door frame and asked anxiously.
"If Aunt Shao gets angry, will Sydney be fine?"
In fact, Bai Lu was not sure, especially since she had stuffed Xueli and Snow Wolf together not long ago, and her heart was beating so fast right now.
She looked at the room with concern, and whispered: "I hope nothing will happen..."
It's one thing for them to play around in the fairyland, but it's another thing in front of Aunt Shao. Aunt Shao is the patriarch of the fairyland, and everyone would unconsciously shorten their necks by three points in front of Shaoyin, making them more behaved. Although Bailu was wandering around worriedly, he didn't dare to really break in, so he had to Hide at the door and peek.
A row of small animal heads protruded from the door of the wooden house.
And Shaoyin finished wandering around the room, then went back to the main room and sat down, opposite Xue Li and the big snow wolf.
Xue Li felt that she was wrong, her ears and tail were flattened, and her little paws were shrunk in front of her body, as if she was trying to shrink herself into a small ball and reduce her sense of existence. Shaoyin has lived with little Xueli for many years, so how can she not understand her little movements, Shaoyin knows when she looks over, that the little fox really wants to hide behind the snow wolf when something is wrong.
Speaking of this, Shaoyin's gaze fell on the big snow wolf again.
To be honest, even the steady Shaoyin was not surprised when she saw this snow wolf.
She had never seen such a big wolf. Its ivory-colored white fur covered its body like thick winter snow, and its dark eyes were deep and bottomless. He was a colossal creature of incomparable refinement, graceful and menacing as he sat in the room.
But it's strange, she has never seen this kind of animal, but she didn't feel very shocked, nor did she feel horrible, it felt more like "how could this kind of wolf be here" rather than "how could there be such a wolf ".
Shaoyin was confused for a moment.
And when Shaoyin was observing the snow wolf, Zilan was also observing him.
Judging from Xueli's expression, the human figure of the other party, the performance of the small animals in the fairyland, and the sudden return to the fairyland of this person who has never appeared before, it is not difficult for Zilan to feel that the woman in front of her should be Xueli and Xiaoli. "Aunt Shao" appeared in Bailu's dialogue.
The woman in front of her looked about thirty years old, and her aura had some aura, but overall she was a mortal. Mortal monks can prolong their lifespan and look younger than their actual age because of breathing and practice, but after all, they have not yet become immortals, and the years can still leave marks on their faces.
In this way, the age of this woman in the mortal world should be older than her appearance. Even if she has been raising Sydney since she was in her twenties, she is now the youngest at thirty-eight or ninety-nine, and the same time as the ancient lotus fairy Shaoyin. It is worthy.
She is wearing a light-colored short jacket skirt, the cuffs of the sleeves are slightly narrower than ordinary jackets, which is convenient for movement, and can be rolled up slightly, and she can wear bijia on the outside; She can mop the floor, and beside her is a medical kit that she puts on the ground after returning to the house.
This is a common dress for traveling doctors. Zilan has seen many female fairies who practice medicine in this way when they go out, including several skirts that Xueli wears at home.
Looking at the appearance of the little nine-tailed fox, she respects the woman in front of her very much, and this woman should be her master. In front of this woman, the little nine-tailed fox seemed to have done something wrong and was a little scared. The whole little fox was wilted, and it shrank a little bit towards him.
At this time, I saw the woman calm down, came back to her senses, and asked first: "So what is going on with this wolf? Why does he live at home?!"
Under the stern gaze of Aunt Shaoyin, Xueli let out an aggrieved "ow", swished to hide behind the big snow wolf's huge body, hugged the snow wolf's tail, and then poked her head out cautiously.
Sydney said: "Auntie, you promise you won't be unhappy?"
Shaoyin laughed and said: "I'm not happy now, who would be happy to see such a big wolf crouching when they get home? Especially my own children are still with him...you should hurry up and make it clear."
As he said that, Shaoyin's gaze fell on Daxuelang's body with a slight scrutiny.
Xueli also noticed her aunt's scrutiny of Big Snow Wolf. After dawdling for a while, she finally said honestly: "Auntie, when you first left the fairyland, nothing happened in the fairyland, but about half a month after you left, one day we suddenly Hearing the loud noise, I saw that this big snow wolf fell from the sky, landed in the forest, and broke several trees..."
Xueli narrated what happened during this period in great detail, including how she healed Snowy Wolf's injury, and how everyone worried about his origin and how he tested him.
"He had abrasions, scratches, and scratches on his body. The wounds on his body were second to none, and his internal immortal energy was also seriously damaged. I gave him hemostatic grass and oral tranquilizing grass. The situation was critical at the time, and the things I could do were not Too many, and then I added Soul Stabilizing Grass and Jinminghua to his prescription for five qian each, and changed the base medicine from time to time. Later, for the convenience of changing injuries, I moved him to live at home..."
Xueli explained in great detail what she had done to treat Snowy Wolf's wounds, what she thought, how she was treated, what herbs were used during the treatment, how much each herb cost, and how many days to change the medicine. Clearly.
Aunt Shao actually listened attentively, she frowned slightly, and turned slightly sideways, so as to remember what Xue Li said in more detail.
After listening to everything, Aunt Shao looked at the size of the big snow wolf, and nodded in admiration: "You did a good job."
Physicians must be cautious in treating wounds. Different medicines must be fine-tuned according to the patient's body shape, gender, and symptoms, and they must not follow the script. Just like the standard for a dose of certain herbal medicine is three dollars, but who is the three dollars for? Is it possible to use three cents for a strong man who is seven feet tall and weighs two hundred catties, and three cents for a little girl who is only waist high and as light as a cloud?
It’s just that the medicine is gentle and nourishing. If it is a herbal medicine that fights poison with poison and has strong medicinal properties, in this case, one dose may kill the person, but the dose is too small and has no effect. It is purely tormenting the patient.
Therefore, it is necessary to be very precise about who and how much medicine to use. Xueli grew up in a fairyland and has a lot of experience in treating beasts, but she has obviously never seen this kind of big snowy wolf, and the size of the big snowy wolf is rare in the world, and it is difficult to find references in medical books, so she can only estimate it by herself .
The dosage reported by Sydney just now, Shaoyin knew it was accurate as soon as she heard it, and she reacted very quickly, so she didn't delay her illness because of uncertainty about the dosage.
At first, Shaoyin was a little emotional because Sydney had a big snow wolf at home, but after hearing her treatment method, she gradually calmed down, and there was a faint smile on her face.
She looked at Sydney and said with relief, "You have grown up, you are becoming more and more proficient in practicing medicine, and you are much more stable than before."
Xueli was uneasy at first, but when she heard her aunt's praise, she felt a little proud and puffed out her small chest.
But she thought about something again, and said, "Auntie, but about the scratches on this snow wolf... I looked at it for a long time, but I still wasn't sure what it was hurt by."
For such a wound that was obviously injured by a foreign object, it was very important to find out the source of the wound, but Sydney couldn't figure it out at the time, and the situation was critical, so he had to bite the bullet.
Aunt Shaoyin was also taken aback, and said, "Let me see."
So Xue Li immediately dragged his tail and jumped onto Big Snow Wolf's back, nimbly helped him remove the gauze, motioned Snow Wolf to sit with his back facing him, and let his aunt look at his injuries.
The hair on Snow Wolf's wound hadn't fully grown yet, and as soon as he sat down, the three-finger claw wound on his back was clearly revealed.
Shaoyin was shocked just by looking at it, and blurted out: "This is a dragon injury!"
"dragon?"
Sydney blinked her eyes and tilted her head in confusion.
Shaoyin knew that Xueli grew up in the fairyland since she was a child. Although she also told Xueli about legends and myths, Xueli couldn't imagine the species that didn't exist in the fairyland.
Thinking of this, Shaoyin took a pen and paper from behind the table, studied ink and drew, and drew her a four-clawed dragon with antlers and eagle claws on the rice paper.
Shaoyin said: "This is the dragon. The horns are like a deer, the belly is like a snake, the claws are like an eagle, and the scales are like a fish. It is a divine beast that combines the specialties of many creatures. According to different colors, there are green dragons, red dragons, golden dragons, etc."
Seeing that Aunt Shaoyin was painting, Xueli curiously let go of the snow wolf's tail and ran over, putting its paws on the painting.
She looked at the dragon in the painting, shook her tail, and said, "This is a divine beast, is it the same as me?"
Shaoyin nodded and said, "Same as you."
Sydney asked again: "Have you seen Auntie?"
"I…"
There was a tingling pain in Shaoyin's mind.
Her first reaction was that she had seen it, and not only that, it was definitely not the first time she saw Longshang. can not recall.
Shaoyin was dazed for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I haven't seen it... I probably passed it back then, I've heard what Master said."
"Aww."
When Xueli heard her aunt mention words such as master, she wagged her tail and obediently stopped talking. My aunt knew everything about her, but Xueli knew that my aunt didn't like to mention the past at Xinglin Peak.
At this time, Zilan also stepped forward and quietly looked at the four-clawed dragon on the paper for a while.
On the other hand, Xueli thought it was something related to her aunt's time in Xinglin Peak, so she quietly moved the four-clawed dragon drawn by her aunt behind her, hiding it so that she would not look at it again.
At the same time, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of two little tigers nestling worriedly at the door, grunting from their throats.
Thinking of the scene at that time, Xue Li lowered her eyes slightly, and said, "Besides the big snow wolf, there are also those two little tigers, and I'm keeping them at home for the time being."
Shaoyin was slightly stagnant, his thoughts pulled back from the strange feeling before, and asked: "What's going on?"
Xue Li said: "A few months ago, a huge thunderstorm suddenly fell in the middle of the night in the fairyland, and a thunderbolt knocked down the big locust tree in the north of the forest. I took two cubs to hide from the rain under the tree... When we passed by the next day, the tigress had already lost her breath."
When Sydney said this, she couldn't help closing her ears in frustration.
The two cubs also seemed to vaguely sense that Sydney was talking about their mother. A few months after the tigress passed away, they were no longer sad every day as they were at first, but when they heard Sydney mentioning their mother, they still nestled down sadly, lying at the door and whimpering softly.
Aunt Shao also didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
Of course she remembered this family of tigers. When the tigress gave birth to two cubs, she took Sydney to take care of them.
Hearing the news that the mother tiger had died and left behind two cubs, Shaoyin's heart suddenly became heavy.
She didn't expect so many things to happen during the time she left Wonderland, and judging by Xue Li's expression, it seemed that she was far from finished.
