Chapter 59 Xiao Douya Could Call Mo

Generally speaking, it was true that a common person had died of thirsty if there is no food or drink. But this woman still persisted, and it must had something to do with her own child. It was the mother’s love that saved the baby and herself as well. Nie Xiaowu shook to smooth the pleats on his garment and strode out of the house.

There was a ray of sunshine in the window. The first thing Wuyou did after waking up was to feel her sides. When her fingers searched around and found no baby, Wuyou sat up on with apprehension in her heart. The sunshine coming in was a little dazzling. Wuyou had to narrow her eyes to adapt to it. “Where is it? Where is my child?” Not until she ran to the courtyard did she realize that it was a strange place. Nie Xiaowu saw the woman with a sloppy face, who seemed to be better. When Wuyou tried to shout the name of her child, she found her throat was too hoarse to speak of a word. Nie Xiaowu also did not expect the woman to be dumb. At that time, Wuyou were on the verge of collapse and shed tears with anxiety. “Where is my baby? Where is it?” Wuyou wiped her tears helplessly. It suddenly hit Nie Xiaowu why the woman cried. He ran into the room and held the baby out. As a matter of fact, afraid that the woman would feel worried, he found some wolf milk last night. Unexpectedly, little baby drank them all. So it seemed that he had to find more later.

“Your child.”

Nie Xiaowu pulled the woman’s clothes corner, and then put the baby into the woman’s arms. The woman held the baby and gently gesticulated until the baby giggled. The woman showed a smile. Nie Xiaowu could not see her real face, since there was only a pair of eyes exposed under her mask. But Nie Xiaowu knew that there was gentleness gleaming there. Although the woman had lost her facial appearance, her eyes were brimmed with love for her child. Maybe a mother’s love was like that—as long as her child could survive, she would not hesitate to do everything, even have to lose her life. The woman in front used her thin arms to raise the sky for the baby, leaving the living hope to her child in the plight. She loved her child in the most shocking way. “How powerful that a common person loves her child.” Nie Xiaowu stood in the courtyard and watched the woman silently.

“Grandma Moon.”

Nie Xiaowu greeted her. In Mount Yao Guang, there were no miscellaneous people except for the birds and beasts. Nie Xiaowu had been living a boring life. But now, there was one more person here, who added some vitality there. Although this woman was a dumb, Nie Xiaowu did not care.

“Are you feeling better now?”

“It turns out that it is this granny who save my life.” Wuyou held her baby, about to kneel down to express gratitude to her saver. But to her surprise, the granny used sorcery to raise Wuyou’s knees up. Wuyou really liked the amiable granny in front of her.

“Granny, the woman can’t speak and need to be healed more.”

Nie Xiaowu hoped that the woman was a normal woman, since her child needed taking care of. Changxi also did not expect the woman to be dumb. Last night, when she felt the woman’s pulse, the woman was only feeble, but why couldn’t she speak now? When Changxi used a bamboo piece to softly press the woman’s throat, Changxi could know why the woman could not speak. It turned out that the woman had carried the naga’s poison of the Mount Zhuo Guang, and the poison had been suppressed by the Spirit Power. Besides, the woman’s face might be hurt by the poison as well. “What did the woman experience? She carried her baby to escape to the desert alone.” Changxi sympathized the woman a lot. Being a weak woman, how powerful she had to be to struggle against her own fate. But the poison of the Mount Zhuo Guang was not common one. There were certain way to detoxify her. But it was extremely cruel to kill a naga and take its elixir. Changxi cultivated the medical spirit of saving the wounded and helping the dying. So how could she bear to kill other living creatures? If to rescue a person was at the expense of killing other creatures, it would go against Changxi’s original intention of saving people. The reason why she had decided to become a medical spirit was to atone for her crime. But the woman before needed the help. Changxi could not bear to see how helpless the woman became in front of the woman’s baby.

“Granny, can this woman be cured?”

“To heal her dumb, we need naga’s elixir as a guiding drug...”

“Is it the naga’s Inner Elixir in the south?”

“Xiaowu, you know naga?”

“I am only a common people. How can I know it? I just heard from others.”

At that moment, Nie Xiaowu was just a wandering orphan, a countryman who had never seen the world. So how could he know Nan Yi?

Ming Zhu once said no one was able to solve the poison. Not until then did Wuyou realize that Nanyi had been extinguished, and Ming Zhu had been eaten up by the little flying serpent. It turned out that no one was capable of dealing with the poison indeed. “Do I, Jiang Wuyou, have to live like that? How can my child face a disfigured dumb woman?” Wuyou held her baby tightly, trying to get some courage from Xiao Douya. But how could a little baby in her arms know it?

“Xiaowu, come to the mountain to get some wolf milk. The baby may be hungry again.”

Nie Xiaowu tightened the water sack on his waist and prepared to climb up the mountains. Changxi knew that the woman was in a weak condition. Thinking of a kind of fruit named Fo Lai in the back mountain, Changxi felt she should go to the back mountain to see whether the woman was lucky enough to have a taste of the fruit. Wuyou was heartfelt grateful to the two benefactors. On the verge of Wuyou’s life, it was Grandma and Xiaowu’s kindness that save Wuyou.

Only when Nie Xiaowu could not catch the sight of Granny’s little hut did he dare to use shape-shifting technique. Under the real face, he was no longer a common guy, but was Zhu Jiuyin, Pangu’s family master. Worried about the woman’s child, Zhu Jiuyin flew up to the cloud sea. Mount Yao Guang was a place where spiritual beasts tended to haunt around. When at the foot of the mount, Zhu Jiuyin landed from the clouds. “I have to find some spiritual creatures to build up the baby’s health so that the woman can feel reassured a bit.” Zhu Jiuyin snapped his spiritual fingers, and then a cracked appeared on the ground.

“Sorry, my Lord, I am late. Is there anything I can do for you?”

“Go and find some spiritual things that a baby can eat.”

“My Lord, when did you get married and have a baby? Please accept my congratulations. These days, a new face came to the Mount Yao Guang. My Lord, do you know who he is?”

“It should be Chidi from the Mount Da Huang.”

“My lord, you are really awesome.”

“Go to find some food.”

Having found a cool place, Zhu Jiuyin was waiting for the Master of the Mount Yao Guang. The servant said someone came to the Mount Da Huang. Hadn’t Chidi returned to his position and become the Devil God? So there was only one possibility that he came to the Mount Yao Guang—he knew the Goddess of the Moon hid there. Did Chidi know why the Pangu Heaven Roll disappeared? It seemed that Chidi was not satisfied with the position of the Devil God and desired to create Heaven and Earth as well. But the Pangu Heaven Roll belonged to Zhu family, so it could be only utilized by Zhu Jiuyin. “Look, Black Emperor! Look at your good disciple! You grabbed the Pangu Heaven Roll by force, and so what? You are still betrayed by your disciple.”

Seeing the servant send the food, Zhu Jiuyin felt surprise. It seemed that the Hill Master had hidden a number of precious things, even found out Yao Ji’s red bird egg. Zhu Jiuyin looked at the egg, whose glistening eggshell was attached Spirit Power. Even the tiny celestial chicken contained power. Zhu Jiuyin took the water sack from the Hill Master and raised the corners of his mouth.

“Keep a close eye on what happens on the Mount Da Huang. Don’t ruin my plan.”

Zhu Jiuyin changed into Nie Xiaowu, picked up the wolf milk and flew onto the auspicious clouds. The little God of Mountains was a bit confused, wondering, “When does the Lord have a baby? Well, I have to find some precious things to the future junior lord as soon as possible, so that I can get some promotion in the future.”

It had been at noon when Nie Xiaowu returned. He felt a bit guilty to hear the baby’s cry. It did take some to go out this time. The woman held the baby, walking around the courtyard. Nie Xiaowu took the wolf milk and sped up his pace. The little baby’s nose was so sensitive that his eyes were staring at the water sack. Seeing her baby so greedy for the milk, Wuyou could not hide the tenderness in her eyes. “This young man is really kind.” Nie Xiaowu walked into the bamboo house, made a fire and cooked the mil, when the pot cover creaked, he put the red bird egg into the milk and mixed until they were well combined. He put it back into the water sack and cooled the milk with his palm spreading Icing air.

“Little baby, the wolf milk is here.”

The little baby sucked the wolf milk, reluctant to loosen his mouth. The woman patted his back, afraid the child would choke.

“It has been at noon. Why Granny hasn’t come back yet?”

Wuyou described with her hands. When Nie Xiaowu figured it out, he showed much concern for the Goddess of the Moon. So Wuyou and Nie Xiaowu rushed to the back mountain one after another. Nie Xiaowu held the baby while Wuyou looked around. It was like dredging for a needle in the sea to search for a person in the dense forest. So they had to take a rest from time to time along the way. But Wuyou felt that someone was tracking them. When Wuyou turned around, Nie Xiaowu disappeared! “Where is my child?” Wuyou was startled with cold sweat. “Where is it?” Wuyou prowled about restlessly like a chicken with its head cut off. She was worried about her child and the youth. Anything would happen in the thick forest. She would not allow anything to happen to her baby. The baby was so poor that he had to suffer hardships and difficulties since he was born. And now the baby disappeared under Wuyou’s eyes! It was a double whammy for Wuyou. Her mouth trembled and whimpered. “I am so useless. I even can’t call my baby’s name.” When Wuyou felt disappointed, she heard Nie Xiaowu’s voice and a tender small voice crossed the sky. “My baby can call his mother. Linghe! Our baby can call his mother.” Her eyes glistened with tears. The young mother shed tears with happiness. Nie Xiaowu accompanied the woman quietly and was moved by the mother and her child. He displayed sorcery just now because he had to handle the elf that followed the woman. When Nie Xiaowu came to look for her, he saw the woman was on the verge of going mad. At that moment, Nie Xiaowu himself could also feel the true and deep love between the mother and her son. The anxious baby could speak when he saw his mother. Nie Xiaowu felt warmth in his heart, touched by the mother and her son who depended each other for survival. Nie Xiaowu had never seen his own mother, so he could not feel the mother-and-son love. He had led a vagrant life since he was a baby. When he was found and brought back, his heart had been stiffened. At his young age, he had witnessed the Immense Sea of complete devastation. And his parents transformed themselves into suppressing-soul stone in order to constrain Black Emperor in Si Shui. “So it is Black Emperor who deprived me of my parents... Deprive my right of enjoying parents’ love. Black Emperor! You make me lose my parents. I will destroy everything you’ve created and make your original spirit uneasy forever. Let the world, the universe surrender to me.”

“Xiaowu.”

It was Grandma Moon’s voice. Wuyou headed to the direction of the voice, guarded by Nie Xiaowu. In his eyes, the mother and her child were necessary to protect. They moved cautiously, and Wuyou held her baby tightly.

“Granny.”

Nie Xiaowu raised his voice in order to remind the elves in the mountains that the Lord was there, so they should give way to him. Strange things flowed in the air, and birds on the trees scattered suddenly. Nie Xiaowu guarded the woman and hid behind trees.

“I’ve heard footstep. Why there is nobody?”

“Granny, have you seen a masked woman holding a baby?”

“I have been living here for several decades and have never seen any strangers.”

“Old woman, you are refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit.”

A rude man held the Spirit Mirror. In the illusion was a young woman. Nie Xiaowu could not see clearly since he stood in the distance. But Wuyou had guessed that the rude man must be a scout sent by Xiao Qi. It seemed that the place she stayed now was not safe as well. “I’d better leave here as soon as I recovered well.” Jiang Wuyou never wanted to see Xiao Qi. He lingered like a nightmare. She did not expect that they two would come to such a situation. To Wuyou, Xiao Qi used to be like a friend and teacher. But now, they became strangers. Who should be to blame for it?
