765 Mighty Ah Dou, Husband and Wife Meet (1)
Yu Wan did not like to hide it. She had doubts in her heart, so she mustered her courage and said, âCan I ask where youâre from?â
The woman did not ask Yu Wan âwhy are you asking about thisâ. Instead, she shook her head and said, âI donât know where Iâm from either. Ever since I can remember, Iâve followed Master into the pugilistic world. After that, she passed away and I happened to come here. I felt that the scenery here was not bad, so I stayed here.â
Yu Wan nodded as if she had an epiphany. âFrom what you said, you donât seem to be the first person to stay here.â
The womanâs hand that was pouring tea paused. âYes, there were already people here before me, but they left later on, leaving me alone until I picked up those children.â
âTo be honest, I have a friend who once encountered a female divine doctor nearby.â Actually, she was Manor Master Jiâs friend. In order to highlight the main point, Yu Wan said, âHe was bitten by a poisonous snake and stopped breathing. It was that female divine doctor who saved him. I wonder⦠if itâs Granny?â
The woman shook her head. âI donât know if itâs me or not. All these years, Iâve entered the mountains to pick herbs and occasionally encountered the situation you mentioned. Iâll save everything I can.â
She was really an otherworldly expert. She didnât even take the favor of saving her life to heart. Yu Wan could tell that she didnât like to talk about her past, so she didnât continue asking. Instead, she said bluntly, âDoes Grannyâs miracle medicine work on any dead person?â
âNo, only those who fake their deaths work,â the woman said.
âFake their deaths?â Yu Wan was slightly stunned.
The woman said, âYes, thereâs no pulse, but his soul hasnât dissipated.â
Yu Wan touched her chin. In medical terms, a person whose heart had stopped beating?
The woman looked at Yu Wan. âAre you so concerned about this because thereâs someone else you want to treat?â
Yu Wan did not deny it. âTo be honest, my husband has been poisoned and needs a few very rare herbs. Two of them have been found, but the blood of the Saintess and the sorcererâs tears are still a mystery.â
âSaintess blood?â The womanâs eyes moved slightly as she looked at Yu Wan strangely. âYou said youâre looking for the Saintessâ blood?â
The womanâs eyes were filled with unconcealed surprise. The Saintess had long disappeared. Anyone who heard that she was looking for the Saintessâ blood would have the same expression. Yu Wan did not take it to heart and nodded. âThatâs right. When I heard about the Goddess of the Ghost Domain, I once suspected that the other party was the legendary descendant of the Saintess.â
The woman muttered, âSaintessâ blood⦠Why didnât I think of that?â
âWhat didnât you think of?â Yu Wan asked in confusion.
The woman shook her head. âNo wonder you asked me about my background. So you treat me as the descendant of the Saintess.â
âGranny, are you?â Yu Wan asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The woman was silent. Just as Yu Wan thought that she was going to say that she didnât know, the woman said, âDo you know what the descendants of the Saintess are like?â
This time, it was Yu Wanâs turn to say that she didnât know. âWe once found a handwritten letter about the Saintess and the sorcerer. Unfortunately, I didnât have the time to read it. Granny knows, right?â
Yu Wanâs intuition told her that the woman in front of her must have heard about the Saintess. Otherwise, she would not have asked such a question.
Just as Yu Wan felt that the woman was about to say something, the nine-year-old leader of the children rushed in with a bag of fruits. âGranny! Granny! Eat the fruits! We just picked them!â
The woman nodded. âWhy did you go pick fruits again? Didnât I tell you not to go so far away?â
The child said, âDonât worry, Granny. We didnât cross the river! We wonât fall into the water!â
The children pestered the woman and talked a lot more. Yu Wan gradually felt a little sleepy and could not help but cover her face and yawn. Ever since she was pregnant, she had slept more at night and slept for two to four hours during the day.
âGranny, look, sheâs asleep!â The child suddenly pointed at Yu Wan, who was sleeping soundly on the small table.
The woman did not look surprised at all. She nodded at the children and said, âClean up the house.â
âOkay!â The children obediently left.
The woman carried Yu Wan into a room for her to rest.
Yu Wan lay on the soft bed.
She knew that women would be sleepy during pregnancy, but this time, she seemed to have slept a little deeper than usual. When she woke up again, it was already afternoon. The weather was a little stuffy and hot. She did not know if it was because of this, but her head was a little dizzy.
She tried to lift her arm, but she realized that she was sore and weak. In a daze, she opened her eyes and saw a red figure in her blurry vision.
