85: Hold his hand

The Xuan Se Cold-blooded Snake Beastman's large tail laid across in front of the Little Female in a protective stance, his cold eyes, filled with oppression, swept over these spears.

Useless Red Fox Beastmen, actually pointing these mixtures of wood and bone, which were like little toothpicks, at his Little Female; they were simply courting death.

Nan Zhisui stretched out her hand, tied with a bow ribbon, to block in front of Xuan Jin; she was trying her best to express her friendliness.

"Yes, Qi Yingmei and I come from the same village. We are from the same Hometown."

As Nan Zhisui spoke, she sized up the other Beastmen here.

They were all Fox Beastmen, and more than half had red hair and red eyes, but there were also a sparse few with black hair and black eyes.

The atmosphere suddenly turned serious.

The old Fox Female suddenly opened her eyes and spoke slowly with a sense of oppression: "Female from outside, I ask you, in the stories of your country, what did Ma Liang possess?"

All the Red Fox Beastmen looked at Nan Zhisui in unison; if she answered wrongly, she and the Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman beside her would be their enemies!

At this moment, even the wind quieted down.

Nan Zhisui hesitated for a moment and replied: "A magic brush?"

"Little swallow, wearing a flowered coat. What comes after that?!"

All the Red Fox Beastmen glared at her again!

Nan Zhisui pursed her lips: "Coming here every spring? I ask why you come in spring, and the swallow says, the spring here is the most beautiful?" (Song "Little Swallow")

The brows of the Fox clan members lifted slightly, and the atmosphere seemed to relax.

"Let us row the oars."

Nan Zhisui: "The little boat pushes aside the waves, the sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls??" (Song "Let Us Row the Oars")

The old Fox Female's eyes immediately lit up, and the group of Red Fox Beastmen one after another lowered their spears.

"Fellow villager!" Nan Zhisui said excitedly.

"You are the person from the same village that my mother was waiting for!" The old Female also said excitedly.

Nan Zhisui couldn't help but sigh; the code Qi Yingmei made up was truly brilliant!

The Fox Beastmen enthusiastically surrounded Nan Zhisui.

"What is your name?"

"Do you come from the same place as our great-grandmother?"

"Can you teach us to sing more songs?"

"Can you tell stories? Great-grandmother knew how to tell so, so many stories."

Xuan Jin was very unhappy; he used his large tail to block off these stinky Beastmen.

The old Fox Female pushed aside this group of little Beastmen, stood in front of Nan Zhisui, and politely said: "My name is Red Star, a name my mother gave me; my mother was Qi Yingmei. She said that when she gave me this name, she was thinking of her country and her Hometown."

Nan Zhisui suddenly put away her smile; she didn't know why, but she felt a sense of reverence from the inside out.

This was a Peoples Teacher. A descendant of a Peoples Teacher born in 1956.

"Hello, Grandma Red Star, my name is Nan Zhisui."

Red Star nodded at her: "Indeed, the name is also like those from your village."

The Red Fox Beastmen brought Nan Zhisui and Xuan Jin to their village.

Xuan Jin was somewhat uncomfortable; usually aloof, he was not accustomed to being approached by so many Beastmen like this.

After Nan Zhisui noticed this, to prevent him from causing trouble, she grabbed his hand and squeezed it tightly.

Xuan Jin calmed down almost immediately, lowering his head to look at his hand held by the Little Female.

His evil, charming eyes and brows lifted slightly.

Nan Zhisui realized that although this Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman was sometimes self-willed and unreasonable, as long as he was slightly appeased, he was still willing to suppress his temper and listen to her.

The Red Fox clansmen brought a cup of water for Nan Zhisui to drink, and Red Star sat opposite her.

"My mother said that if any of her fellow villagers came to our Red Fox Village, there were a few things she must tell them."

Nan Zhisui sat down while holding Xuan Jin's hand and politely asked: "What things?"

The Red Fox Female slowly said: "She said to tell those who came after. Although the childbearing pill makes the birthing process easier, it is best not to take the childbearing pill, do not trust the childbearing system, and believe in science."

Nan Zhisui: "..." Suddenly hearing the word "science" in the Beast World, this feeling was very strange.

The Red Fox Female took out a stone jar and handed it to Nan Zhisui.

Nan Zhisui asked: "Grandma Red Star, what is this?"

"Open it and see."

Nan Zhisui opened the stone jar, and the things she saw inside made Nan Zhisui pause in surprise.

"This is..."

"Yes, this is the childbearing pill." The Red Fox Female took up some wood and tapped on some beast skin nearby. "In order to complete the mission and survive, my mother kept giving birth, kept giving birth, until she died."

"The year she died, she was only thirty-eight."

"It has been more than fifty years since then."

"She said that if there was a 001, there might be a 002... She told us to keep the childbearing pill and wait for those who came after. We waited for so many years, and you are the first one we have met."

"She said she didn't know if this childbearing pill would be useful to you. But she still left it behind. If it is useful, you should take it."

Nan Zhisui tightened her grip on the stone jar, "Did she say anything else?"

Red Star thought for a moment and said: "She said that in her Hometown there were our grandfather and older uncle; she was thinking of them, and also thinking of her parents. If there is a chance, please tell her family over there. She didn't mean to leave them behind."

"I understand."

Nan Zhisui played with the children of Red Fox Village.

She discovered that most of the Beastmen here knew some basic addition and subtraction.

Although Qi Yingmei was gone, Qi Yingmei had passed down the knowledge she left behind as a Legacy.

Seeing so many people and things related to her Hometown, Nan Zhisui's heart was suddenly inexplicably moved. As a Veterinarian, she actually took the initiative to start treating the illnesses of the elderly and children here.

Nan Zhisui: "This of yours is a skin disease. A fungal infection. Here, take this ointment. Each time, squeeze a little bit out and apply it to the affected area; it will be better in a few days. This thing absolutely, absolutely must not be eaten, okay? By the way, the affected area needs to be exposed to the sun more."

"Thank you, Sister Sui Sui."

Nan Zhisui: "Coughing, huh. I will teach you to recognize a few types of medicinal herbs. This is a loquat leaf; when you have a cough, boiling it in water is very good."

"Cough cough, I understand, thank you."

Nan Zhisui: "This injury, this is an external wound, it needs to be disinfected first. I will use alcohol to disinfect it for you..."

...After treating patients for the whole day, the sun set in the west.

Nan Zhisui was busy for the whole day, and Xuan Jin was held by the hand by her like that, watching her for the whole day.

The Cold-Blooded Snake Beastman felt that it might be quite nice if time just stopped here.

What to do? He seemed to be becoming more and more greedy.

However, this rare peace did not last long; suddenly, a flock of birds and beasts was startled in the sky.

Xuan Jin looked up, his dark eyes narrowing slightly.

He said to her softly: "Little Female, we should go."

Nan Zhisui looked at Xuan Jin; this time, there was actually some tacit understanding.

She looked at the villagers of Red Fox Village and said: "I should go."

The villagers of Red Fox Village were reluctant to see her go, and many Beastmen brought beast skins and beast meat as gifts for her.

"Are you really leaving? Sister, you can stay."

"Yes, we all welcome you."

Seeing Nan Zhisui, who also had black hair and black eyes, many of the Beastmen here who possessed half-human blood were very friendly to her.

Nan Zhisui shook her head.

Red Star helped her out of the situation: "I know you like her, don't make things difficult for her."

"Alright, Nan Zhisui, you must come often in the future."

"Remember to come back and see us."

"We all welcome you!"

When she left Red Fox Village with the childbearing pill and Xuan Jin, the Beastmen of the Fox clan were still reluctantly saying goodbye to her.

Red Star stood at the very front, holding Nan Zhisui's hand, her cloudy eyes seeming to clear for a moment, and she slowly said:

"Nan Zhisui, I remember one more thing my mother, Qi Yingmei, said."

"Being chosen to come here is indeed unfortunate. But born as a human, one must always remember that I am a human."
