Chapter 129 Ancestral Secret Medicine
After Xiaobao and his mother calmed down their turbulent emotions, they slowly walked forward.
We saw Xiao Bao's mother slowly turn her head, looking at us with gentle and grateful eyes, and say softly.
"I am truly grateful to all the kind people! If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid Xiao Bao and I would never have been able to meet again in this lifetime."
"It's a pity that my body is so weak that I can't even do something as simple as thanking my benefactors and bowing to them." As she spoke, a hint of apology appeared on her face.
Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu, who was standing to the side, quickly waved her hand and responded with a smile.
"Please don't say that, it's too formal! We have a special connection with Xiaobao, and it is a great comfort to us to help him find you, his dearest relative. Today, we have finally achieved our wish, and it can be said that a great matter has been completely resolved!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Huan Yuechu paused slightly before asking another question.
"However... I do have some questions. I wonder what kind of misfortune or accident has led you to find yourself in such a dangerous and perilous valley? Could you please tell us the details of what happened?"
A faint sorrow appeared on Xiao Bao's mother's beautiful face, and she sighed softly.
Then he spoke slowly in a soft, slightly sorrowful tone.
"Actually, the reason I hid in this valley was to escape the humans who were relentlessly searching for me. However, what I never expected was that this seemingly peaceful valley actually concealed many mysterious and unpredictable restrictions."
"I accidentally touched one of the restrictions, and instantly suffered a huge backlash, which caused serious injuries to my body. The situation was extremely critical at the time. In order to ensure Xiaobao's safety, I could only hurriedly hide him in an extremely hidden place. As for myself, I was trapped here by the restrictions and could not get out."
After hearing these words, everyone suddenly understood and couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the suffering that Xiao Bao and his mother had endured.
Xiao Bao's mother hesitated for a moment before slowly opening her mouth to speak.
"This place is far too simple and shabby, and we have nothing of value to offer our benefactors. I am truly sorry! I hope you will not take offense and will forgive us. Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Before he could finish speaking, another violent coughing fit rang out.
Seeing this, Wen Xingyu quickly stepped forward, reached out her hands to firmly support Xiao Bao's mother, and gently comforted her.
"Please don't worry about this. The most important thing right now is to focus on recuperating and recovering your health as soon as possible. Nothing else matters."
Meanwhile, Xiao Bao, who had been standing quietly and obediently to the side, was behaving very well.
He quickly went behind his mother, raised his little hand and gently patted her back, trying to relieve her distressing cough.
At the same time, Xu Yan turned around and walked to the table inside the house, picked up the kettle, filled a glass with water, and then brought it to Xiao Bao's mother.
Looking at the mother and son who depended on each other for survival and were struggling to make ends meet, Xu Yan couldn't help but feel a surge of pity, but she didn't know what she could do.
Huan Yuechu looked around at the surroundings and thought to herself, now that she had finally found Xiao Bao's mother, she should make proper arrangements for the follow-up matters before leaving.
After all, they were a widow and her children, all alone and helpless, and their lives were truly difficult.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever considered leaving this place and finding another place to settle down?"
Xiao Bao's mother, who was drinking water, suddenly stopped what she was doing when she heard my question.
After a brief pause, a faint smile appeared on her face, and she answered softly.
"My sickly body will probably only be a burden and trouble to everyone. So I'll just make do with living in this valley."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing these words.
At this moment, Huan Yuechu frowned slightly, seemingly lost in thought for a moment.
After a short while, she stepped forward and came to Xiao Bao's mother. She gently grasped the other woman's wrist and began to carefully examine the root of her illness.
In an instant, she suddenly raised her head, her previously dull eyes now shining with a resolute light, and looked directly at Xiao Bao and his mother, speaking solemnly.
"In my opinion, given your current physical condition, this place is fraught with danger and is far from ideal for recuperation. Even setting aside other factors, just for Xiaobao's sake, this is definitely not a place to stay for long!"
Just then, Mu Yang, who had been silent all along, suddenly had a gleam in his eyes, as if he had come up with a brilliant idea.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly reached into his robes and carefully rummaged around for a while before pulling out a crystal-clear pill that looked like a pearl.
This pill emitted a faint fragrance, and its surface was surrounded by a soft halo, making it look extremely extraordinary.
Mu Yang handed the pill to Xiao Bao's mother and said softly, "This pill is a secret medicine passed down in my family. It may help you heal your injuries."
Filled with intense curiosity, Huan Yue obtained Mu Yang's permission.
She reached out and gently picked up the bottle of mysterious medicine.
She brought the secret medicine close to her small, delicate nose, closed her eyes slightly, and sniffed it carefully.
In an instant, a faint fragrance wafted over, as if it contained the essence and magical power of nature.
After a while, Huan Yue slowly opened her eyes, a surprised smile on her face.
She turned to look at Mu Yang and said softly, "This secret medicine is truly extraordinary! Just by smelling it, I can feel its powerful energy. I believe that taking it will definitely be of great benefit to your body!"
Upon seeing this, Xiao Bao's mother's face immediately showed surprise, mixed with a hint of undisguised gratitude.
She hesitated for a moment before declining, saying, "How can I accept this? I am truly unworthy of such a precious gift..."
However, Mu Yang simply smiled and comforted her, "Madam, please don't refuse. At this moment, your health is of utmost importance. I hope you will take this pill as soon as possible and recover quickly."
