Shen Luo was shocked. He subconsciously let go of the bamboo tube and hurriedly used both hands to block his face.
Just as the yellow liquid was about to hit his hands, it suddenly glowed and condensed into a fist-sized spherical object in midair. Shen Luo grabbed it in his hands.
The moment he touched it, Shen Luo found that the surface of the object was unusually slippery and cold, but it was also very soft. He used a little strength in his hands and it immediately softened like mud and squeezed between Shen Luo's fingers.
Shen Luo felt that this thing almost slipped out of his palm. He hurriedly clasped his hands together, and with a bit of dexterity, he was able to hold it in his hands.
But right after that, the thing suddenly burst out with a great deal of strength, struggling left and right in his palm.
Only then did Shen Luo realize that this thing was actually a living creature.
He was surprised, but he didn't have the slightest intention of letting go. Instead, he firmly held it in his hands.
The little thing seemed to feel that it was useless no matter how much it struggled. After a while, it finally stopped.
Only then did Shen Luo's hands relax a little. He opened up a small gap and opened his eyes wide to look inside. He wanted to see the true appearance of this thing.
With this look, he found that the "little thing" in his hands was different from any other living thing he had seen before. It had no limbs, only a round body and two big black eyes. Its whole body was tender and there seemed to be a circle of light around its body. At first glance, it looked like a small ball of meat that was emitting a faint light.
Seeing that Shen Luo was looking at it, the little thing looked at Shen Luo with its two watery round eyes. Its hands were tightly clenched under its head. Combined with its timid and scared expression, it made people feel like their hearts were about to melt.
What kitten or puppy, compared to it, it was simply unworthy of the word "cute".
Seeing that Shen Luo was in a daze, the little guy blinked his big eyes again, looking silly and cute.
Just as Shen Luo subconsciously wanted to comfort the little thing that seemed to be in a panic, a small mouth suddenly appeared under the little thing's big black eyes. It opened its mouth and spat.
A mass of white light flew out, and hit Shen Luo's face. It then exploded, and turned into innumerable white light spots. In fact, it almost covered his entire body.
Shen Luo felt a chill run down his spine, and his heart tightened.
At the same time, the little guy in his hand suddenly expanded several times. Like a huge pink bubble, it forcibly opened his hands and jumped onto the deck at the stern of the ship.
Shen Luo hurriedly chased after him, but it was still too late.
The little guy jumped up from the stern of the boat once again. In an instant, it jumped several feet high and drew a high arc in the air. With a "plop" sound, it fell into the river, splashing a small area of water.
When Shen Luo chased after him to the stern of the ship, there were only circles of ripples on the surface of the water. The little guy's figure had completely disappeared.
He looked at the water and the shore for a while, but there was no movement at all. He could only give up.
Shen Luo lowered his head and checked his body. He found that the white light that the little guy had spat on him had already disappeared. Whether it was his clothes or his skin, there was not the slightest trace left behind.
"Huh, something's not right …" At this time, Shen Luo's expression suddenly changed.
He quickly sat down on the deck at the stern of the ship, closed his eyes, and crossed his arms. He once again operated the Minor Yang Art.
After a short while, he opened his eyes again, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face. He was pleasantly surprised to find that the hot and dry feeling in his body and the strange stabbing pain in his meridians had all disappeared.
What was even more amazing was that even the tiredness that had accumulated over the past few days had disappeared.
Shen Luo suddenly stood up, and clenched his fist at the stern of the ship. He raised his arm and hit the air. His sleeves fluttered, and his whole body was full of energy, as if he had been reborn.
"I didn't expect that white light to have such a miraculous effect. It's a pity … "He withdrew his fist and looked into the distance, and said with some sorrow.
Shen Luo naturally knew that the changes in his body were related to the cute little guy, but it had already escaped. No matter how regretful he was, it was useless.
At this time, the sun had already set on the distant mountains.
He put the bamboo tube and the Nameless Heavenly Book back into the stone box, and put them in the bag. He simply tidied up the cabin and began to paddle back to the ferry.
The torrential rain made the Luan Shui River's water flow more turbulent, and it became more difficult to paddle the boat upstream. But Shen Luo was no longer the Shen Luo of yesterday. He was full of strength, and it was easier for him to paddle the boat than it was when he was following the current.
When the boat was halfway there, Shen Luo met Yu Dadan, who was looking for him along the river bank. Shen Luo took the opportunity to pick him up on the boat.
After asking, he found out that Yu Dadan had seen the torrential rain and Shen Luo had not returned. He was afraid that something might have happened, so he had come all the way here.
When the two returned to the ferry, the pregnant woman was already waiting at the door of the thatched cottage.
"Young man, how dare you be so bold? What if something happened in such a heavy storm? "The woman complained, but the expression in her eyes seemed to be relieved.
"I'm sorry to have made sister-in-law worry," Shen Luo said with an apologetic face.
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Seeing this, the woman sighed. She turned around and took out the hot ginger water on the charcoal stove, and poured a big bowl for her man and Shen Luo.
After drinking, Shen Luo said, "Today's trip was stormy and the waves were high. We bumped into many things along the way and damaged many things on the boat. I still have some silver here. Take it as compensation for you."
Saying this, Shen Luo took out a dozen silver taels that he had prepared and handed it to the woman.
Seeing this, the woman raised her eyebrows. She was a little surprised and hesitant.
"The things on the boat are worthless junk. You don't need to compensate. The ten silver taels that the young master gave the other day are enough." Yu Dadan immediately said.
Shen Luo glanced at the woman's round belly and said with a smile, "I'm leaving today. Thank you for taking care of me for these two days. Please accept this money. Just treat it as … treat it as money for the unborn child in your belly."
Hearing this, the woman's eyes were a little wet. She and her man lived a poor life, but she really didn't want the child in her belly to suffer with them.
"Then … Then, thank you for your kind intentions, Young Master." The woman bowed and took it.
Shen Luo took the horse, said goodbye to the two, and turned over to the horse.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something. He pulled the reins, turned around and said to the two, "Brother Yu, sister-in-law, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to the Chunhua County Shen's drugstore to find me."
The two of them nodded and waved goodbye to him. Shen Luo left and went straight to Song Fan County.
"It turns out that your family is in the medicine business. No wonder you're so kind. In the future, you'll be rich and prosperous for a hundred years." The woman held the money bag tightly in her hand and said slowly.
The man didn't speak, but nodded with a silly smile.
The sun set in the west, and the golden afterglow fell on the two, reflecting the two figures hugging each other beside the Yellow Reed Marsh ferry behind them.
