Qin Yu stared blankly at the drifting wood shavings. He never thought that the jade pendant he had painstakingly carved would shatter. He raised his head and looked at Elder Mang suspiciously. "Elder Mang, why did the wood shatter?"
"Maybe it was too much. Did you know?
You spent an entire month carving this item. "Elder Mang smiled warmly. Not a trace of shock could be found on his face.
"An entire month?"
Qin Yu was startled. He didn't think that a long time had passed when he was immersed in carving. He never thought that a month had passed. When he came back to his senses, he felt sore all over.
"This is the dew that A 'Xiu collected for you this entire month."
Elder Mang ignored Qin Yu's astonishment and slowly picked up a gourd beside Qin Yu. He pulled out the stopper and handed it to Qin Yu. When Qin Yu took it, Elder Mang casually asked, "Right, what did you carve?
It looks very complicated. "
Qin Yu took the gourd and felt the dew inside. A warm feeling rose in his heart. He took a sip and said, "It's a jade pendant that I lost."
"A jade pendant that you lost?
That jade pendant … Where did you … "Before Elder Mang could finish his question, an excited voice was heard." You're awake! "
Qin Yu turned his head. When he saw the beautiful figure not far away, he felt an indescribable warmth in his heart. He slowly nodded and said, "Yes, Wuyou."
Xian Wuyou ran over with light steps. After greeting Elder Mang, she pushed Qin Yu towards the room.
Elder Mang looked at Xian Wuyou and Qin Yu's figures. The warmth on his face gradually turned serious.
Xian Wuyou pushed Qin Yu into the room and quickly closed the door. She took out a sackcloth bag from somewhere. She shook the bag, making a clear knocking sound. She cheerfully said, "Did you know?
These are spirit grains. Hurry up and eat them. I heard that they contain a lot of spirit energy. They should be able to heal your injuries. "
As he spoke, Xian Wuyou rolled up the cloth bag, revealing the golden grains inside.
Qin Yu grabbed a handful in surprise and carefully examined them. He was surprised to find that these grains were filled with faint spiritual energy. However, what made Qin Yu disappointed was that the spiritual energy contained in these grains was very limited.
Looking at Xian Wuyou's soft, calloused hands, he felt a stabbing pain in his heart. The total amount of spiritual energy in this batch of spirit grains was less than ten low-grade spirit stones … but Xian Wuyou had to work from dawn to dusk for almost a month.
"Wuyou, why are you treating me so well?" Qin Yu placed the pouch to the side and stared at Xian Wuyou.
In truth, Qin Yu had been avoiding this question the entire time. He didn't want to ask it because Xian Wuyou's kindness to him was far too great. He didn't want to hurt Xian Wuyou's heart, but he was worried that if this continued, Xian Wuyou would sink deeper and deeper.
Xian Wuyou trembled. Her hands clutched the corners of her clothes, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing Xian Wuyou like this, Qin Yu sighed and said slowly, "Wuyou, let me tell you a story. Do you want to hear it?"
Xian Wuyou looked at Qin Yu and nodded.
"Many years ago, an abandoned infant was brought back to the sect by Master …" Qin Yu's voice was low as he recounted his past. Other than the time when he was reborn, Qin Yu didn't hide much.
Qin Yu's goal was to tell Xian Wuyou that he wouldn't waste time on relationships. Perhaps he was overthinking. Perhaps … but even if he was overthinking, Qin Yu wanted to nip all possibilities in the bud. It was better to end the pain quickly than to prolong the pain.
Xian Wuyou moved a stool over and listened quietly. Because she was wearing a mask, he couldn't see her expression. But from her bright eyes, he could tell that her heart wasn't calm.
"This infant is me. Hence, I won't stay here forever. One day, I will leave and find Lin Yu for revenge." Qin Yu slowly spoke.
Xian Wuyou did not speak for a long time. Her eyes glistened with tears, and tears flowed down from her mask. After a long time, Xian Wuyou's shoulders trembled uncontrollably. She said, "Big Brother Qin, Wuyou knows that you don't belong here. I know that you will leave … so Wuyou has never hoped for anything."
"Big Brother Qin, do you know?
Actually, Wuyou has a secret in my heart. Every time I sleep, I would dream of strange things. Every time I wake up, I would feel terrified and uneasy. In the past, I could only rely on weaving and carving to calm myself down. I didn't want to think too much … "
"I should have lost my memories. I don't even remember the wound on my face … I always felt that I was an outsider, that I didn't belong here … All these years, I have been searching for answers …"
"Back then, because I saw you fall from the sky, I thought that you could tell me who I was … but … later on, I realized that when you were around, my heart was very calm. Even if I didn't carve, I wouldn't think too much."
"I know that you'll leave sooner or later, so I've never had any extravagant hopes. I only hope that before you leave, I'll be able to let Wuyou stay by your side. Perhaps … when Wuyou grows old in the future and has things and people that she can remember and wants to remember …"
Qin Yu's heart trembled. Looking at the weak Xian Wuyou, he thought back to what she said when he was unconscious. Qin Yu felt a string in his heart being plucked. He had an impulse to pull her into his arms, but he couldn't stand up. He could only look at Xian Wuyou affectionately.
"Wuyou, I promise you. Once my injuries are healed, I will definitely help you find the answer."
Qin Yu said in a low voice. He had already decided that once his injuries were healed, he would explore the Forgotten Land and unravel the mystery of Xian Wuyou's identity.
"Okay." Xian Wuyou nodded heavily.
Qin Yu didn't eat all the spirit grains. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that this amount of spirit stones wasn't very useful. It was better to save them up and eat them together when he had more.
In the following days, Xian Wuyou was still the same as before. Every day, she would wake up at dawn to collect dew for Qin Yu. Then, she would go out to search for tree vines in case of an emergency. In the remaining time, she would take out wood and focus on carving.
Although it was the same as before, Qin Yu could clearly feel that Xian Wuyou was much less talkative than before. She was also not as happy as before. This made Qin Yu feel a little uncomfortable. Xian Wuyou, after all, had fallen in love.
In order to not let Xian Wuyou bear the burden alone, Qin Yu asked Mang Lao to make him a wheelchair. He wanted to walk around the Forgotten City and see if he could buy some spirit medicine. After all, spirit medicine was more suitable for healing than dew and spirit grains.
Half a month later.
Qin Yu sat in the wheelchair, holding a purple-gold mask in his hand. The mask wasn't complete, only the left half. Qin Yu was carefully carving on it. He was going to give it to Xian Wuyou.
The left half of Xian Wuyou's face was injured, but the other half of her face was peerless. Qin Yu wanted to make a unique mask for her to cover the left side of her face. This way, even if he left one day, Xian Wuyou would gradually become more cheerful.
In this half a month, he walked around the Forgotten City but didn't get much. Although there were some spirit medicines, they were extremely expensive. Qin Yu couldn't afford them now.
"Big Brother, Big Brother, bad news!" Just as Qin Yu was focused on carving, Xiao Shan's anxious voice rang out.
Qin Yu looked up in confusion and saw Xiao Shan running towards him. After stopping in front of him, she said with a pale face, "Big Brother, something happened to Sister Xiu … something happened to Sister Xiu."
Qin Yu was shocked. He quickly put down the mask and asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"There was a beast tide in the Fearsome Beast Forest in the west. I heard many people died …" Xiao Shan said incoherently.
"Fearsome Beast Forest?
Beast tide?
What does this have to do with your Sister Xiu? "Qin Yu asked in a low voice.
"No … Sister Xiu told my mother this morning that she was going to the Fearsome Beast Forest to look for herbs …" Xiao Shan said with a sobbing voice.
Qin Yu's mind was shaken, and his heart was seized. In this half a month, he had been looking for herbs. Xian Wuyou also asked about it, but Qin Yu didn't take it to heart. However, he didn't expect Xian Wuyou to go to the Fearsome Beast Forest to look for herbs. Even if there was no beast tide, the Fearsome Beasts there were not something she could handle.
