Chapter 34: The Herbalist is Charming (Thirty-one)
The long winter snow is floating in the mountains, and the two people know each other and stay together.
Winter has come, so spring is not far away.
When the snow in the mountain stream slowly melts, the white flowers of the waterfall splash against the rocks, and the green trees put on new clothes, spring is here!
Qingli: "My dear husband, look! It's early spring! Willow catkins are fluttering, and the weeping willows along the riverbank are swaying."
Meng Yi: "Yes, spring has arrived and the cold winter is over."
Qingli: "I don't think this winter is cold."
Meng Yi: "Why?"
Meng Yi felt strange. His wife had cold hands and feet in winter, and her clothes were thicker than his. She still needed him to warm her bed at night, so how could she not feel cold?
Qingli: "Because of you! You are always warm. When I am cold, you are there to keep me warm!"
Meng Yi: "You little rascal!"
Meng Yi smiled and rubbed Qingli's head.
Qingli: "Hehe, that's the truth!"
Meng Yi had noticed that Qingli had become more and more cheerful in his presence over the past few months. He liked her change, as it showed she was happy.
The cliff is thousands of feet high, long and narrow, and closed. They cannot leave the bottom of the cliff, so naturally they hope that their lover can be happier and not worry about this.
Qingli: "Husband, have you mastered the Seven Swords Technique?"
Meng Yi: "It's not quite there yet. I just need to complete the last move."
Qingli: "Ah? I observed that my husband's "Seven Swords Technique" was extremely powerful, and I thought it had already been perfected."
Meng Yi: "Not yet, but it will be soon. It's strange to say, this "Seven Swords Technique" is the Sword Saint's unique skill. Those people pressed me so hard for it. Before he died, the Sword Saint hoped that I could inherit his unique skills. Although I agreed, I didn't expect to achieve such a small success so soon."
Meng Yi: "As you know, the highest martial art of our Hanshui Sect is the 'Hanshui Jue', which focuses on internal strength and physical skills, while the 'Seven Swords Jue' is a sword technique. The 'Seven Swords Jue' and the 'Hanshui Jue' each have their own advantages and complement each other, which has been of great help to me."
Qingli: "It shows that the sword manual is destined for you! You are gifted, and here at the foot of the cliff, far away from the disputes, and you practice diligently and study hard, it will naturally be easier for you to comprehend the Seven Swords."
Meng Yi: "Well, maybe. It's a pity that Senior Sword Saint died tragically, and I can't avenge him!"
He gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, feeling angry and resentful. Li Li leaned into his arms and comforted him.
When he calmed down his anger, he said to her.
Meng Yi: "Aren't we going to collect herbs today? Let's go."
Qingli: "Yeah, the weather is nice today, we can go a little further."
Meng Yi: "Okay, I'll protect you."
The two packed up and left home.
Qingli was responsible for finding medicine, and Meng Yi was responsible for digging. The two of them divided the work and cooperated with each other, so the work was not tiring. Occasionally, they would appreciate the flowers together and watch the falcons soaring in the distance.
Qingli: "The sun is setting, my husband, let's go back."
Meng Yi: "Okay."
The two began to walk back.
Qingli: "Hey, husband, did you hear any sound?"
Meng Yi: "What animal is calling? It must be in danger."
Qingli: "Its cry is so shrill! How about we go and take a look?"
Meng Yi: "This doesn't sound like a small animal. Maybe it's a blind bear."
Qingli: "Let's go and have a look!"
Meng Yi: "Okay, but we have to be careful and not get too close."
The two slowly approached the source of the sound.
Qingli: "Ah! Husband, it seems the mother bear is having difficulty giving birth. There's a wild wolf staring at her over there!"
A brown bear lay on the ground, bleeding profusely, unable to give birth. Not far away, a wolf lay on the ground, staring intently at the brown bear.
The mother bear cried mournfully, with despair in her eyes.
Qingli: "It's so pitiful! Husband! Let's help it!"
Meng Yi: "Do you want to save her?"
Qingli: "Yes! Husband, please drive the wolf away first!"
Meng Yi: "Okay."
Meng Yi took out the arrows behind him and shot several arrows at the lurking wolf. The wolf dodged quickly. One of the arrows grazed its ear, leaving a red mark. It howled and disappeared.
