Demon King's Repayment - chapter 55
This chapter is sponsored by Pancake-Cat!
Doctor Han was still very young at the time, with a gentle smile in his eyes. He was not as sad as he was standing before the older Yuan Xiang.
“How can I still judge seniority based on age. You, young girl, must be a gift from God for my deeds.” Han Rui stood far away in the shadow of the corner of the room, “Between yin and yang (life and death: ghost), there is no relief. Today, I am grateful for your help.”
The rooster crowed in the courtyard. The sky lightened and the figure of the man who bowed and saluted gradually disappeared.
Yuan Xiang sat quietly in the position for a long time with her eyes drooped and finally sighed softly before returning to the bedroom to rest.
After running around for a day and spending most of the night in incantations, she quickly fell asleep. The sky was getting brighter and the morning sun shone on the quilt on her body through the window.
A small silver head was quietly lifted from the mat on the edge of the kang.
In such a quiet moment, Nan He was finally able to take a look at this person who was sleeping not far away with peace of mind. She looked tired. Her brows wrinkled slightly in her sleep. This person was always so gentle. Not only had she saved him without asking for anything in return, but even for the two wandering ghosts, she spent a whole night in trouble.
At that moment, her hand was resting on the side of her face and her delicate fingers stopped quietly in front of Nan He’s eyes. Nan He moved a little closer and moved his small nose. The tip of his nose faintly smelled the same medicinal smell as the one on him.
The little wolf’s eyes softened. This finger was stained with ointment, which slightly dispelled the hot pain on his skin. It was these hands which held him trembling in the cold, holding a delicate small bowl and feeding him a fragrant chicken soup. She liked to touch his ears, left and right and refused to let go.
Every time, when he was struggling in the abyss of pain, these hands always appeared in time and fished him out.
She stood under the tree and opened her arms, “Xiao Nan, come and jump down. Come with me.”
So he closed his eyes and jumped toward her. He was picked up by her in the warm arms and brought out from the lonely and cold tree hole into this lively and warm nest.
Nan He wanted to stick out his small tongue and lick the slightly red fingertips. He was taken aback by his thoughts and hurriedly looked away. His gaze fell on the bright white neck and the blood vessels buried under thin skin, which would break with a light bite. It was obviously so fragile. He didn’t know why this human dared to use her weak body to stand by his side, insisting on facing the big demon like old Li and Yan Nu together.
The long hair like a cloud was black exposing a white ear. The earlobes were full and the thin auricles were flesh-colored.
How would it feel to touch her ears? Nan He thought in his heart that it might be particularly soft, but also slightly cold.
He stretched out his little furry paws, quietly tried to get closer and hurriedly retracted before touching them. Then he just buried his head in the cushion, hearing his heart pounding.
No wonder that person liked touching other people’s ears so much.
Yuan Xiang’s eyelashes moved in her sleep. In a daze, she saw a hairy ball with his tail facing her. She reached out her hand to gently touch his tail.
Yuan Xiang slept till three rods in the sun before she managed to get up and eat breakfast.
(Three rods in the sun: (idiom) The sun rises as high as three bamboo poles above the ground, and it is used to describe people getting up late.)
Ru Shi served her hot congee and side dishes but she was still lying on the table in a daze.
“Xiao Nan, you are back! Why are you injured? It looks very serious. Here, milk for you.”
Nan He crawled on the table next to Yuan Xiang. Ru Shi put a bowl of hot milk in front of him. Nan He stretched out his small paw to move the edge of the bowl to Yuan Xiang .
Yuan Xiang put her chin on the table and pushed the bowl back, “You drink it. I’ll have another.”
“Xiang’er, did you stay up all night last night? I heard the bells just at dawn.” Ru Shi looked at her listless appearance and brought her a bowl of milk, “You are still small, it’s not good to sleep so late.”
“Sorry Shiniang, did it disturb your sleep?” Yuan Xiang apologized.
“That’s not it.” Ru Shi wiped her hands and sat down at the table with a smile, “Speaking of which, Ah Yao used to chant the mantras in the room all night by himself. I always listened to it. The voice, on the contrary, felt very cordial, as if returning to the days when your Shifu was still at home.”
Yuan Xiang recalled the time when she lived with Shifu. Shifu Yu Yao was a very enthusiastic person. Whether it was to drive away evil spirits, ask questions about hexagrams, or tap acupuncture points, as long as someone asked him, there was basically nothing he would not do. He was busy and lively every day. People in the town respected their family.
Shifu may not necessarily be a human, but he lived so busy, as if he was more like a human than her.
Yuan Xiang had inherited her life habit before transmigrating. Unless it was something that happened before her eyes and had to do with her, she generally would not be nosy. After all, in the era when she lived, society paid more attention to self and individuality. People might not dare to step forward to help an elderly who fell on the roadside.
But if it were Shifu, he would not ignore ghosts like Han Rui and his wife like she did.
Dr. Han’s soul the previous night made her a little uneasy.
She could clearly see Han Rui’s body, shrouded in a faint golden light of merit. He helped the world and did good deeds. It was precisely because of that layer of golden light that he was different from most ghosts. He had a complete memory of his life, clear thinking and free movement. It was not like his wife Liniang who needed a death spell to eliminate her heart bond and perseverance to go into reincarnation. Judging from his look when he left, that person must be still wandering in the world.
Even if he was a person with a sincere heart, if he saw Tongjitang and heard about what happened to his child, he may do something.
