Warm Fuzzies

Shaoyin noticed that the big snow wolf was staring unblinkingly at the snow pear she was holding. For some reason, she felt a little alert, and unconsciously held the little fox in her arms tighter, and pushed her behind her without a trace. Tibetan.

On the other hand, Xueli noticed that it was different from usual, and raised her head in doubt and asked, "Aww, what's the matter with you, Auntie?"

"…fine."

Shaoyin replied absent-mindedly.

This morning, Shaoyin did not get up and wash up like in the past and start preparing for a day of medical practice. Instead, she found an excuse to appease Sydney, and then went into the forest alone to worship the hen who died when she left the fairyland. Tiger.

According to the location mentioned by Xueli, Shaoyin soon found the place where the tigress was buried, and there was an inconspicuous grave in front of the empty cave.

Shaoyin's heart ached slightly, and she lowered her eyelashes slightly as she looked at the grave, but she soon forced herself to cheer up a bit, strode forward, and sprinkled the prepared flowers and spiritual energy on the soil.

Sydney had already done the work of salvation, and Shaoyin just performed a simple sacrifice.

When she was away from home, she didn't even have the chance to see the tigress for the last time, so she came here specially as a belated farewell.

She has worshiped Xinglin Peak since she was a child, except for the ten years spent in the fairyland, she has also practiced medicine for dozens of years. It is full of sorrow and emotion.

Shaoyin's lips quivered slightly, and said, "Rest in peace."

After finishing speaking, she sprinkled some thin wine brewed in the fairyland on the mound.

Seeing the soil wet with sake, Shaoyin just turned around and slowly headed home.

After saying goodbye solemnly, she cleaned up her emotions on the road, and she seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

Along the way, Shaoyin picked up some hard nuts that are good for medicinal materials, and she went back to explain to Xue Li why she came out early in the morning and returned late, but when she returned to the wooden house, she happened to see the scene in the yard.

Xueli was arranging flowers and plants in the yard, running back and forth, and the big snow wolf was following her firmly, Sydney took the flowerpot, and he took the water bucket, and Xueli loosened the soil to dig a hole After tidying up the spiritual grass, he handed out the fertilizer.

Shaoyin: "..."

Shaoyin was puzzled, but Xueli herself didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with a big snow wolf wandering around beside her, she was very happy digging the soil, and even poured spiritual fertilizer into the pit.

At this moment, Xueli noticed Shaoyin's return, raised her tail in surprise, and then happily waved her tail to greet her: "Auntie, you are back!"

Da Xuelang, who was helping at the side, saw Xue Li jumping, and raised his eyes to look over.

Shaoyin remained silent, pretending not to care much about the big snow wolf, waved to Xueli, and replied with a smile: "Yes."

It's just that when Xueli washed her paws and went back to the house for dinner, she silently moved Xueli closer to herself to block the gaze of the big snow wolf looking up from time to time.

The radishes at home have already been eaten, and Xueli ate this meal very reassuringly. She drank the soy milk in the bowl upside down, buried half of her head in the bowl, and shook her ears in satisfaction at the end.

But after finishing eating and packing away, Shaoyin said: "Xueli, wait a minute, I'll wait for you in the room."

Sydney paused upon hearing the words.

She has been with her aunt for many years and knows the meaning of every word she says. My aunt just came back from outside the fairyland yesterday, and she said this to her, meaning to check her homework during this time.

Practicing medicine is an extremely important thing. Shaoyin is a kind and gentle parent most of the time on weekdays, and will not place too many restrictions on Sydney. When my aunt was practicing, she would definitely ask Xiaobailu and the others not to come to her for the time being, and just leave her and her aunt in the house to practice quietly in an environment where no one was disturbed.

Sydney has not delayed her homework in the past six months, but she is still a little nervous when she hears her aunt saying that she needs to be checked.

She sat up straight unconsciously, nodded earnestly and said, "Okay."

…

Half an hour later, Xueli packed her things, turned into a human body, and sat solemnly opposite Aunt Shaoyin.

There were only the two of them left in the house.

Sitting upright, Xueli pushed the notes she had copied over the past few days, her reflections, and a few medicine packets to her aunt.

After half a year, Sydney has accumulated a thick pile of experience notes, and the paper is full of neat small print, which looks densely packed. As for the medicine packs, there are naturally not only a few of them, the rest are listed in the wooden cabinet and the backyard, and the ones that are being pushed in front of Shaoyin are the best medicines left by Sydney after careful selection.

Shaoyin didn't change her face when she saw these things. She first flipped through the experience written by Sydney, but after only reading a few pages, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Sydney is very hardworking, she studies well.

It's just that it is impossible to read through so many notes in one go. If you want to read carefully, you have to keep reading slowly. So Shaoyin only flipped through it roughly, and then turned to flip through the medicine paper package.

Several medicine packs were divided according to the color of the medicine paper and the color of the tether. There was a tacit understanding between Xueli and Shaoyin. Shaoyin knew what kind of medicine Xueli brought from the outside.

She undid the tether, and the scent of the medicine immediately filled the room. Shaoyin picked up a handful with her fingertips, put it under the tip of her nose and sniffed it, then brought it to her lips, and licked it lightly with her tongue.

After a whole set of touching, seeing, smelling and tasting in order, and trying them one by one, Shao Yin's complexion is already good, and she is very proud to see Xue Li's expression.

She nodded and said, "That's right, you didn't waste your cultivation during my absence."

Xue Li blushed slightly when she heard her aunt's praise, but she also responded: "Of course, I'm already grown up, and I can't let my aunt worry about me all the time. It's just that my aunt is not in Wonderland, so I feel that the progress is still slower than before some."

Xueli spoke seriously, Shaoyin saw the nostalgic look on her face, couldn't help stretching out his hand, patted Xueli's head again, and said, "Good boy."

After she finished speaking, she lifted her cuff again, revealing a large piece of white skin on the inside of her wrist, and said, "Come on, let me see your acupuncture again."

Xueli brought all the needles, but she hesitated when she saw Aunt Shao showing her arm.

Shaoyin said: "It's okay, I just went out for a while, I have rested yesterday, and my body can hold on. Besides, your acupuncture technique is already good, it doesn't matter if you think about it, or you have regressed to Don't you have any confidence?"

Of course, Xue Li could hear that Aunt Shaoyin was irritating her, but she still took out the needle after hearing what Aunt Shao said so confidently.

Just waiting to see the many fine hole-like scars on her aunt's arm, Sydney still felt uncomfortable.

In the fairyland, only the two of them can incarnate as human beings. If Shaoyin wanted Xueli to touch the acupoints of a real person, she could only use her own body.

At first, Sydney's acupuncture and moxibustion were practiced on the fabric prepared by her aunt, just like practicing a doctor's knife. Later, when she gradually got a little better, her aunt let Sydney **** her body. Sydney has good talent, but the hand feeling is not really good right away. At the beginning, she often made mistakes and hurt her. My aunt is just a mortal. Many traces.

It's not just the arms. In fact, there are pinholes left by her growing up on the back, legs and body of my aunt.

Every time Sydney sees it, she feels distressed, but she wants her aunt to test her, but her aunt always smiles and says no, and pats her head vigorously.

Thinking of this, Xueli's hand holding the needle tightened, she pursed her lips, reminding herself to be careful.

Xue Li said: "Auntie, please bear with me, I will try my best to be steady."

Shaoyin smiled and said, "Okay."

So Sydney gently dropped the first needle.

Shaoyin watched her drop the needle.

In fact, Xueli's technique is already very good now, and Shaoyin can't even feel that she is giving the needle.

In fact, she felt that Xue Li didn't need to be so guilty and worried. It was Shaoyin's own decision to let Xue Li use her to practice acupuncture. Seeing how proficient Xueli is now, she is filled with intense pride. This pride is far greater than the pain of being pricked twice, and even happier than her own medical skills.

Shaoyin was proud to watch her put in the needle, but she would not distract her by praising Xue Li so early, so now she just watched quietly and gave her pointers when she dropped her hand from time to time.

The room was quiet, two women sat quietly facing each other, the curtains were lightly rolled, and the fragrance of medicine was overwhelming.

After a quarter of an hour, Sydney withdrew the needle.

She put away the medical needles one by one, and listed them in the needle bag according to the length, but looked at Shaoyin with concern, and asked worriedly: "Auntie, do you feel any pain?"

Shaoyin glanced at her arm and said with a smile, "Of course not."

Not to mention the pain, she didn't even have a mark on her arm.

Shaoyin looked at Xueli and said sincerely: "You are doing very well, you have really improved."

Shaoyin's tone had indescribable weight, and Xueli knew that this compliment was different just by listening to it.

Her heart skipped a beat and she breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't hold back her joy and said, "Really? Thank you, auntie!"

Shaoyin smiled slightly: "Of course it's true."

But when she thought about how Xueli had been at home alone for more than half a year, it seemed that such light words of praise seemed too little, she paused, and added: "It's not just about medical skills. The problem seems to have improved a lot, I saw yesterday, you actually ate up a whole box of radishes! I was quite surprised."

As soon as Shaoyin said this, Xueli suddenly choked.

Xue Li's eyes trembled guiltily, fearing that her aunt would ask again, she quickly put her head down and packed up her things.

Shaoyin faintly showed a sense of joking, but she couldn't help but feel emotional when she saw Xueli's skillful packing up, remembering her gesture of giving the needle just now, and the medicine made by Xueli.

Sydney's current medical skills are completely in the same line as hers. Just seeing Xue Li's appearance reminds her of herself.

This thought made Shaoyin's heart tremble, and she didn't know what emotion it was for a moment, but when she came back to her senses, she found that Xueli had not left after packing the medical box, and was still sitting opposite her, seemingly hesitating to speak.

Shaoyin paused, and immediately remembered that when she asked about her not being in Wonderland yesterday, Xueli hadn’t finished speaking, but she stopped because she was tired. Looking at Xueli’s appearance, it seemed that she still had something to say to her .

Shaoyin hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything else you haven't told me?"

Xueli was also packing up and remembered that she had nothing to say. Seeing that her aunt asked about it, she nodded immediately.

"Yeah!" Xue Li hurriedly said, "I haven't finished talking about the condition of the big snow wolf yesterday."

Shaoyin hesitated slightly, and asked, "Isn't it Longshang?"

"It's a dragon injury, but the dragon injury is just a traumatic injury. Besides this, there are other things."

Sydney said.

"At first, I also thought that this big snow wolf was just seriously injured, but in the process of treating him, I found that he was unresponsive to several kinds of herbal medicines, and it is very likely that he had an unhealed old disease. Later, he fell ill once. , I realized...it was a cold syndrome."

Shaoyin was startled when he heard this.

Unexpectedly, Xue Li continued: "Not only that, I have other things that I didn't have time to tell my aunt yesterday. In fact, this big snow wolf is different from other creatures in the fairyland. I only found out a while ago that he can actually take the form of a human." of!"

Shaoyin's hands that put his sleeves visibly trembled, and he was shocked and said: "Human body?!"
