Heaven Blessing Fuhong – chapter 15

Cold and mean, it’s better not to find that kind of doctor!

“My surname is Xiao, and my name is Qiyu.

May I know how to address you, miss?”

Xiao Qiyu asked gently.

“My name is Xi Fuhong.”

She looked up at Xiao Qiyu, feeling an inexplicable comfort from him.

“I have an unreasonable request and would like to ask for Miss Xi’s help,” Xiao Qiyu said, cupping his hands.

She had never encountered Jianghu people before, and this kind of formal speech made Xi Fuhong feel uneasy.

“Miss Xiao, just say it directly.

I’ll help with whatever I can.”

Calling her “miss” felt awkward.

She was used to being called Sister Cui or Xue Divine Doctor, but the person in front of her was clearly older, so calling her sister seemed pretentious.

In the end, she could only call her “miss.”

“As you can see, my eyes are injured and I can’t see the way.

Could I trouble Miss Xi to lead me out of the valley?

Once we reach the city, I won’t bother you anymore.”

Xiao Qiyu finished speaking and took out a small embroidered pouch from her clothes, saying, “This is five taels of silver, please accept it as a token of gratitude.”

Seeing this, Xi Fuhong immediately refused the pouch in front of her, saying, “I said I would help with whatever I can.

Since we’re both leaving the valley, it’s naturally not a bother.

I can’t accept this money; I’d feel guilty and wouldn’t be able to sleep at night!”

Leading the way is worth five taels of silver?

She saw that the Old Man sold his land to treat his daughter’s illness for only three taels of silver.

If she really accepted the money, wouldn’t she be taking advantage of the girl?

Bullying her because she’s blind and can’t see, forcing her to spend all her savings to survive?

No!

Absolutely not!

“Miss Xi is truly kind and honest.”

Xiao Qiyu smiled faintly and took back the silver after hearing her serious refusal.

Seeing that the other party didn’t insist, Xi Fuhong breathed a sigh of relief.

She looked up at the sky, where stars dotted the night, and a gentle breeze blew across the stream, making Xi Fuhong shiver with cold.

Although she had never been involved in Jianghu, she wasn’t foolish enough to travel through the mountains at night.

In the desolate wilderness, with no one around, wild beasts could easily devour them.

“Miss Xiao, it’s getting late.

Why don’t we set off tomorrow morning?”

Xi Fuhong suggested.

“Alright.”

Xiao Qiyu nodded in agreement, still maintaining her meditative posture.

Seeing that she didn’t intend to move, Xi Fuhong went a short distance away to gather some firewood and then jumped into the stream to catch some fish.

Starting a fire and cooking were not difficult for her; she was a master of self-sufficiency in the valley, and these chores were easier for her than threading a needle.

Turning over the grilled fish in her hand, she approached Xiao Qiyu and said, “Would you like something to eat?”

“No need to trouble yourself, Miss Xi.

You eat,” Xiao Qiyu gently declined.

“I’ve grilled a lot, there’s enough to eat.”

Xi Fuhong glanced back at the three fish skewered over the fire.

But Xiao Qiyu just shook her head and smiled, “I’m not hungry, Miss Xi, don’t worry about me.”

Disappointed, Xi Fuhong nodded and sat back by the fire to eat her dinner.

Although the fish was unseasoned, the clear stream water made the meat very sweet.

She devoured four arm-thick fish, enjoying a rare full meal.

After a few satisfied burps, Xi Fuhong glanced back at Xiao Qiyu, who hadn’t moved at all.

Sleepiness overcame her, and she lay down, curling up into a ball, soon falling asleep.

At this moment, Xiao Qiyu, who had been motionless, suddenly got up.

She quietly approached Xi Fuhong, took out a dagger from her sleeve, and the blade glinted as she suddenly cut her own left index finger.

Dark red blood dripped onto the collar of Xi Fuhong’s neck.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the shadow under Xiao Qiyu’s feet wavered, splitting into two, with one merging into Xi Fuhong’s shadow.

Thin clouds covered the moon, and the night was hazy.

Xiao Qiyu smiled, appearing somewhat ethereal and elusive.

The next morning, Xi Fuhong led Xiao Qiyu out of the valley as promised.

Looking around the mountain, it seemed they had to climb over it.

Glancing back, she saw Xiao Qiyu unable to see, wondering how they would get out of the mountains.

Just as Xi Fuhong was worrying, Xiao Qiyu suddenly stepped forward and patted her shoulder.

“Miss Xi, have you found the way?”

Her smile remained gentle.

“This desolate mountain doesn’t seem like a place where hunters would come.

I’m afraid we have to climb over the mountain to get out.”

She had hoped to meet a knowledgeable hunter to help, but this place was even more remote than she imagined.

There wasn’t a single person, not even an animal.

Compared to Xi Fuhong’s helplessness, Xiao Qiyu seemed completely unconcerned.

“Thank you, Miss Xi.”

Xiao Qiyu reached out and held Xi Fuhong’s hand.

The moment she held it, Xi Fuhong suddenly felt a surge of courage.

The slightly cool fingertips were a bit rough, yet they gave Xi Fuhong an inexplicable sense of security.

Her previous worries seemed to be blown away by the spring breeze, leaving no trace.

She smiled and said, “Leave it to me!”

On the way, she tried to choose flat paths, but inevitably encountered places that required climbing.

In such cases, Xi Fuhong would climb up first and then carefully pull Xiao Qiyu up.

Her thin and frail body didn’t require much effort from Xi Fuhong; even the water buckets she carried while farming were heavier than Xiao Qiyu.

After walking for most of the day, they finally crossed the mountain.

Xi Fuhong sat on a rock to catch her breath, while Xiao Qiyu sat under a tree to cool off.

The gentle breeze dried her sweat-soaked clothes, and Xi Fuhong squinted comfortably, gazing at the foot of the mountain.

The path wasn’t steep, but descending was often more difficult than climbing.

The rugged and uneven road could easily cause a fall, and rolling down the mountain could be fatal.

After pondering for a while, Xi Fuhong worriedly said, “Miss Xiao, let me carry you down the mountain?”

Hearing this, Xiao Qiyu was taken aback and lowered her head in silence.

“I-I mean… the path down the mountain is difficult. I’m afraid you’ll trip over a stone, so…”

What started as a legitimate reason somehow became more awkward as she spoke.

She’s a girl carrying another girl, which shouldn’t be considered improper, right?

Besides, Xiao Qiyu is older than her, so showing respect for the elderly isn’t out of place, is it?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qiyu broke her silence and smiled, “Miss Xi is indeed kind-hearted, but I can walk on my own.”

With her kind offer rejected, Xi Fuhong said no more and took Xiao Qiyu’s hand to start descending the mountain.

Strangely, what should have been a strenuous journey left Xi Fuhong panting and sweating, but when she looked back, Xiao Qiyu was still smiling serenely.

Her steps were steady, as if she wasn’t blind at all.

With doubts lingering in her heart, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.

When she rescued Xiao Qiyu from the valley, she didn’t dislike her.

In fact, she was attracted by her graceful demeanor and polite attitude.

It wasn’t just her appearance; it was also the way she handled everything with such poise that left her a bit entranced.

That mature elegance was something Xi Fuhong longed for, but it seemed as if there was an invisible veil over Xiao Qiyu…

Something indescribable…

Something unreal…

“The forest’s mist has faded, have we left the woods?”

A single sentence snapped Xi Fuhong out of her daze.

She looked around and realized that the two of them had unknowingly walked onto the main road.

The flat sandy path was three zhang wide, the standard width for government carriage tracks.

The yellow sandy soil showed faint traces of wheels having passed.

Xi Fuhong excitedly pulled Xiao Qiyu under a tree, looking around but seeing no one.

“Oh no, I don’t know the way.

Which direction should we take to enter the city?”

The road wound around the mountain, with no end in sight on either side.

Xiao Qiyu sat on the ground and said, “Let’s wait here.

If a carriage passes by, please make sure to stop it, Miss Xi.”

Xi Fuhong nodded and slowly walked over to Xiao Qiyu, sitting down on the soft grass beside her.

She really didn’t understand how just meditating could fill one’s stomach.

Ever since she met Xiao Qiyu, she had only drunk water, eaten no meat or fruit, and whenever they rested, she would sit on the ground like this, completely still.

Was it some kind of supreme martial art?

Anyway, she couldn’t figure it out no matter how hard she tried, so she turned her attention to the road.

Is your skin itching for a beating?" Xiao Qingniao held her hand and said, "No worries, come with me back to Bi Xuan Palace for a long talk." Luo Laohu pinned her down and said, "Villain!
