The Miracle Doctor's Two-Faced Toddler

764 Descendant of the Saintess (1)

Yu Wan had never known that there was a kind of person in the world who could smash through the ground. How high did he have to fall to create such strength?

Yu Wan, who was caught in the Asura Net, must have fallen into a big hole.

However, this did not seem to be just a hole. She felt herself sliding into a hole in the ground. The hole was winding, rugged, and bottomless. The light above her head had disappeared perhaps long ago, but she still slid down.

Fortunately, there was a human cushion under her butt, so the journey was quite comfortable.

After an unknown period of time, so long that Yu Wan felt that the human cushion was becoming skinless, she finally slid out of the hole and fell onto a straw cushion.

Yu Wan choked on the grass and dust and coughed. She waved her sleeve, covered her mouth and nose, and moved down from the human cushion. She did not know if it was her imagination, but she felt that the moment she came down, the human cushion bounced back.

Uh… She-she’s not that heavy, right…?

“How are you?” Yu Wan asked him.

The other party did not answer. Yu Wan took out a bead from her purse.

This was a luminous pearl that could glow. The bead light was not strong, but it could barely illuminate the place in front of her. This was an abandoned… cellar? The walls were bare and there was nothing. There were a few moldy straw cushions scattered on the ground, and a few pairs of animal bones could be vaguely seen in the corner.

Under the faint bead light, Yu Wan could vaguely see… okay, no, she could not see the other party’s appearance. He slid down from such a high place with his face facing down. He was bald. He was already swollen like a pig’s head.

Yu Wan quickly reached out her fingertip to feel his neck and realized that he had no pulse.

Uh…

Could he have been crushed to death by her?

Yu Wan touched her slightly bulging stomach. Would anyone believe her if she said that it was not her weight but the baby?

Click, click.

Strange footsteps came from the other side of the wall. Yu Wan seriously suspected that they were a few pairs of wooden clogs that didn’t fit. Otherwise, how could they make such sounds? As the click approached, a seemingly airtight wall was suddenly pushed open from the other side and a dazzling fire shone in.

Yu Wan subconsciously raised her hand to block the light. Then, she heard a young exclamation. “Aiyo! Look! It’s a person! A woman!”

From his tone, it was as if he knew what had fallen in, but he did not expect it to be a living person.

“There’s one more person!”

He had discovered that human cushion.

After Yu Wan adapted to the light, she looked at the other party. It was a few children wearing animal skin. The leader was about nine years old and was wearing a pair of shoes that were several sizes bigger and looked like wooden clogs. The cry just now came from him.

Behind him were two six or seven-year-old children. Their faces were dirty, and their eyes were wide open as they sized up Yu Wan curiously.

Compared to the human cushion that could no longer move, the few of them were more interested in a living person.

The nine-year-old child was the first to come back to his senses. He glared at Yu Wan’s infatuated companion and berated, “What are you in a daze for? Hurry up and tell Granny!”

Upon hearing this, they dispersed.

The moment they dispersed, the stone door closed, and the cellar became dark again.

When the group of children returned to the cellar again, there was a beautiful woman in red beside them. She looked to be no more than twenty or thirty years old, but Yu Wan clearly heard the children at the side call her Granny.

This person… was a Granny?

If it were anyone else, they might be surprised for a long time, but Yu Wan quickly accepted it. After all, her mother also looked very young, but she was already a grandmother.

“Granny! It’s them! They fell from the trap!” The nine-year-old child pointed at Yu Wan and said. Then, he pointed at the man who had long lost his pulse. “That person seems to be dead. I haven’t heard him speak! He was lying there just now and is still lying there!”

The woman first glanced at Yu Wan and walked over casually. When she got closer, Yu Wan could smell the fragrance of the peony on her body.

She was really a fairy-like person. The woman squatted down on one knee in front of the “human cushion”. She turned her wrist and a silver needle appeared on her fingertip, stabbing into one of the other party’s acupoints.

Yu Wan thought to herself, Isn’t this a fatal acupoint? Can a fatal acupoint be pierced? However, he was already dead. There didn’t seem to be any harm in pricking him twice.

After the woman finished pricking, she stood up indifferently and threw a small medicine bottle to Yu Wan. “Eat it.”

Did they think they were together?

Yu Wan did not explain. She removed the cork and poured out the pills inside. It was unknown what medicinal herb this pill was made of. The fragrance was fragrant and it melted in the mouth.

After that person took the pill, he suddenly coughed.

Yu Wan’s hair stood on end! She had felt his pulse and confirmed that there was no more pulse. How did he really come back to life after taking a pill?

Yu Wan checked his pulse again and checked his breathing. There was a heartbeat. How could this be? Was this guy not dead, or did this woman in front of him have a revival technique?

“Follow me,” the woman said to Yu Wan. Yu Wan blinked. The woman instructed the children, “Carry that man back to the courtyard.”

“Yes, Granny!” They agreed in unison and ran out. They found a mat and pushed the man to it before dragging him out.

Staying here was equivalent to waiting for death. Yu Wan simply followed them. After walking through a damp passageway, Yu Wan saw a light that she had not seen for a long time. After leaving the passageway, they could see a courtyard. It was simple, but elegant and quiet.

The woman pushed open the fence door and entered the courtyard.

The children used all their strength to drag the burly man who had been saved by the woman but was still unconscious.

“Granny, Granny, where should I put it?” The nine-year-old child asked.

The woman pointed to the lawn in the courtyard. “Put it here.”

“Oh.” The child instructed his friends to drag the straw mat to the lawn. He was panting from exhaustion, but no one complained.

“Go play,” the woman said.

They ran away excitedly.

The woman walked up the corridor and entered a room. Yu Wan paused and followed her in. There was a small table on the floor of the room, and a few cushions on all sides of the table.

The woman sat down on one of the cattail cushions and brewed a pot of tea. “Sit.”

Yu Wan walked over and sat down.

The woman poured Yu Wan a cup of tea. Yu Wan picked up the cup. Even though this woman had taken her in, one had to be vigilant. Yu Wan still sniffed the smell in the tea first and took a sip when she did not find anything amiss.

It was flower tea, leaving a fragrance in her teeth.

The woman did not say anything from beginning to end. She only quietly brewed and tasted tea.

Yu Wan was still hoping to go up, so she naturally could not waste time with her like this. She asked, “May I ask where this is? Why did we fall from above?”

The woman said, “I don’t know where this is either. I only know that it’s a valley. There’s a secret passageway left behind by the seniors in the mountains. There’s a trap above the secret passageway. It was originally used to prevent outsiders from invading. After that, fewer people invaded and it was used for hunting. However, in recent years, there aren’t many prey left.”

Yu Wan nodded. “I see. By the way, I heard them call you granny just now, but I think you’re only in your early twenties.”

The woman said, “I’ve been here for thirty years. I was about your age when I came.”

In that case, wasn’t she about the same age as Madam Tan? Then she was too good at staying young.

The woman looked out of the window and said, “I picked up those children from outside. They have no parents and followed me to live a poor and quiet life in the valley. If you don’t mind, you can call me Granny like them.”

Yu Wan changed her words. “Granny is really kind-hearted.”

The woman did not reply. Seeing that Yu Wan’s cup was empty, she poured another cup of tea for her.

Yu Wan thought of something and asked, “Granny, was that hero really dead just now? What medicine did you give him? Why did he come back to life?”

The woman said indifferently, “He did die, but he was saved. It was just a pill that I refined when I had nothing to do. If you want, I’ll give you a few.”

A pill that could revive the dead. Why did it sound like cabbage on the street coming from her mouth?

Yu Wan suddenly thought of something.

Manor Master Ji’s friend had traveled the pugilistic world many years ago and had once accidentally entered the Ghost Clan. He had entered a miasma forest and was bitten by a poisonous snake. He had clearly died, but he was saved by a goddess.

This was also the Ghost Clan, and the place where the incident happened just now was also the Miasma Forest. Could it be that… the granny in front of her was the Goddess of the Ghost Domain who had saved Manor Master Ji’s friend back then?

Could she be the descendant of the Saintess?
