Zhao Mingwei woke up in an uneasy dream, sweating profusely. He lit the lamp and went to wash his face with cold water. That's when he really came to his senses. He opened the window and let the icy cold wind blow in. Then put on your clothes and sit on a chair next to you, with cups on the table next to you and a thermos on the other side of the table. There is also half a bottle of hot water in the thermos.

Zhao Mingwei picked up the hot water bottle, uncorked it, and poured half a cup of hot water into the transparent glass on the table. The hot water was steaming in the cup.

Zhao Mingwei said: "Unexpectedly, this water bottle is quite insulated." ”

Zhao Mingwei sat on this chair, blowing the cold wind and thinking about the nightmare he had just had.

A great pack of wolves entered the sheepfold and ate everything that was in it, and the ground was covered with red, red, blackened blood. And Zhao Mingwei watched, those sheep died one after another, and he couldn't do anything himself. It was as if there was an invisible transparent wall in front of him, blocking him.

At this time, a lion ran in the distance, which is also strange to say, at this time the lion does not eat sheep is not only not eating sheep, but also seems to have become a kind of guardian spirit, biting several wolves to death. But in the end, the number of wolves was still too much, and the lion was outnumbered and eventually died under the siege of the wolves.

At this time, a voice appeared in the sky, and Zhao Mingwei could hear this voice, and this voice was Marke's. He said, "Brother, I'm right for you in my life. ”

Then Zhao Mingwei woke up suddenly, and his head was sweating profusely. The heart was beating uneasily.

He washed his face, opened the window, and calmed himself with cold water, and cold wind.

At this time, the water in the cup also changed from boiling hot to lukewarm. Zhao Mingwei picked up the cup and drank a large sip of water. He said to himself, "Why do I have such dreams?"

Zhao Mingwei walked to the window, blowing the cold wind, and began to think about something.

"I don't know what's going on at home now. The black dragon grass has not been found until now. ”

Zhao Mingwei said and walked back to his seat, but instead of sitting down, he picked up a transparent glass with water and drank it all.

Then he went to bed and prepared to go back to sleep, but unfortunately he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning. So he got up again and put on his clothes. Go downstairs. At this time, there is a light below. There was a shopkeeper who was wiping the table.

The shopkeeper said, "Uncle, why did you come down now?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Can't you come down now?"

The shopkeeper said: "No, but uncle, you come down now, the kid has not yet prepared the food here." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "I'm not here to eat, I just can't sleep, come down and take a turn." ”

The shopkeeper said: "The little one advises you not to go out at this point." ”

Zhao Mingwei asked, "Why?"

The shopkeeper said, "Because there are often thieves outside at this time?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Then don't you officials here take care of it?"

The shopkeeper said, "No one can catch them." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Are you thieves here so powerful, then I want to go and see it." ”

The shopkeeper said: "Uncle ...... uncle"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Don't worry, there is no money in my pocket, and they can't steal anything." ”

Zhao Mingwei walked on the empty street, and there was no one.

Zhao Mingwei, walking on the road, he didn't want to look for something, he just wanted to go out, because that nightmare made him feel that everything in that inn seemed extremely suffocating.

Zhao Mingwei wanted to exclude such a feeling of suffocation from his body. There is only one way to eliminate this kind of suffocation, that is, walk briskly on the road and use a more intense exercise to eliminate any kind of suffocation.

Unconsciously, he came to a pharmacy that looked very large, and the name of this pharmacy was Green Bamboo Pharmacy.

The pharmacy was still lit up, and Zhao Mingwei walked in, thinking about going inside to try his luck and see if he could find the herb black dragon grass he wanted.

Zhao Mingwei walked in, there were a few lights on in the pharmacy, and there was a small girl behind the counter, sleeping on the table.

Zhao Mingwei wanted to go out when he saw this scene, since he was sleeping, then he wouldn't bother.

At this time, a sweet voice suddenly came from behind him and said, "What do you need?"

Zhao Mingwei turned around At this moment, the little girl behind the counter had already raised her little head.

Zhao Mingwei asked, "Do you have black dragon grass here?"

The little girl said in a half-asleep voice, "I haven't heard of Tianlong Grass. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Okay then. ”

When Zhao Mingwei heard this girl say, "I haven't heard of it", he told the truth, he was a little bit lost, but he was not too disappointed. It has been a while since he came to Dragon Buddha Province from Ten Thousand Swords City, and during this period of time, he has been looking for the whereabouts of Tianlong Grass, but he has not gained anything.

The little girl continued, "Sir, can you wait a little longer and come back?"

Zhao Mingwei looked at this girl, and the slight light shone on her face, revealing the marks she left on her face because she was sleeping on her stomach.

Zhao Mingwei looked at it and felt funny, he said, "What's wrong?"

The little girl said, "You wait a while, and when my grandfather gets up, you can ask him, maybe he knows what black dragon grass is." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Okay. ”

Zhao Mingwei thought for a while and continued: "It's so late, why is there still a store on your side, I walked all the way and saw that the lights on your side were still on." ”

The little girl said, "Our pharmacy is open all day. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Then it must be very fortunate." ”

The little girl said, "It's fine. Sometimes people come here to buy medicine. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Are you like this every day?"

The little girl said, "No, I've only been here for two months. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Then where were you before?"

The little girl said, "At home, my grandfather is not in good health now, so I came here." I'm just here at night. ”

Zhao Mingwei said, "Oh, that little girl, can I ask about your name?"

The little girl said, "My name is Wu Qianqian. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "This name sounds very cute. ”

The little girl seemed to have stars twinkling in her eyes at this moment, and she said, "You say my name is lovely." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Yes, is there any problem?"

The little girl said, "Do you really think so?"

Zhao Mingwei suddenly laughed, fortunately it was dark now, most people were still sleeping, Zhao Mingwei didn't dare to laugh out loud. If it weren't for that, he must have laughed loudly.

The little girl said, "What are you laughing at?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "I found one thing. ”

The little girl said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "I found that you are not only cute in name, but also cute as a person. ”

The little girl puffed out her face and said, "Is what you said true?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Really, I don't know you, why should I lie to you." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "I'll come back later, are you still here?"

The little girl said, "I guess I should be there." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "What should be there, being there is not being is not there." Make it clear. ”

The little girl said, "Yes." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Okay, then that's it." You can't leave if I don't come. ”

The little girl said, "You are too domineering." I've never seen anyone like you when I've grown so big. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Then will you wait for me?"

The little girl said, "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "I'm asking your name again?"

The little girl said, "You forgot about it as soon as I told you." What kind of brain are you? ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "I haven't forgotten, I just want to hear you say it again." ”

The little girl said, "You are a strange person. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Then do you say it or not?"

The little girl said: "I said, I said, this time you remember, my name is Wu Qianqian." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Okay, I remember. ”

Zhao Mingwei walked out of the pharmacy called Luzhu. Again on the road in the dark. It is also strange to say that his steps are much lighter after seeing the little girl named Wu Qianqian, and his heart is not as panicked as just now.

At this moment, he felt that the air was much fresher than before.

The sky in the distance was already showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, and he knew that it was almost dawn.

Zhao Mingwei returned to the inn where he lived, and at this time, the shopkeeper was wiping the table. Seeing Zhao Mingwei coming back, he said, "Uncle, you're back." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "I'm back." Do you have hot water here?"

The shopkeeper said, "Yes, this is just boiled." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "I'll go up and get a water bottle." ”

Zhao Mingwei took the water bottle down, and then the shopkeeper filled the water bottle with water. After that, Zhao Mingwei was carrying the water bottle. Fill a clear glass with water. Then Zhao Mingwei lay down on the bed again, and he wanted to take a nap. But he still couldn't sleep.

He still remembers that when he was very young, his grandfather Zhao Hongyu told him that if he couldn't sleep, he would count the sheep, and he would fall asleep when he counted. Zhao Mingwei remembered this sentence, and then he began to count: "One sheep, two sheep, three sheep......"

He counted slowly, until he reached the two hundredth, and he stopped counting.

He drank half of the water from the glass and walked out.

Because at this moment, it is already dawn, and people are starting to walk on the road.

He was going to the Green Bamboo Pharmacy now, and he thought that if there was no news of the Black Dragon Grass this time, then he would go back to Ten Thousand Swords City. He was still very concerned about the dream he had just had. I don't know if the plague has passed? Is Grandpa Zhao Guang okay?

Just when Zhao Mingwei was thinking nonsense, he had already come to the Green Bamboo Pharmacy. Then he walked in.

At this moment, an old man with a white beard was stretching.

The little girl named Wu Qianqian was standing beside the old man.

The old man said, "Qianqian, I've worked hard for you at night." ”

Wu Qianqian said: "Misfortune is bitter, misfortune is bitter. ”

At this time, Zhao Mingwei walked in, and the old man said, "Guest officer, may I ask you where you are uncomfortable." ”

Zhao Mingwei said, "May I ask if you have black dragon grass here?"

The old man said, "I have never heard of black dragon grass. ”

Wu Qianqian said: "You came so early, I thought I would have to wait for you for a while." ”

Zhao Mingwei ignored Wu Qianqian's words, and he said to the old man, "Are you saying that there is no such medicinal material called Tianlong Grass in the Tianwu Continent?"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. ”

Then the old man walked slowly to the back and took out a thick, yellowed book. There are only four words written on the cover of that book - "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials"

The old man slowly flipped through the book for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "Without this medicinal material, I'm afraid there is no one in the entire Tianwu Continent." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Mingwei first dared to be stunned, and then he asked, "How do you know that there is no Black Dragon Grass in the entire Tianwu Continent?

The old man could tell that Zhao Mingwei's tone was a little angry, but he still said kindly: "Although I haven't traveled the entire Tianwu Continent, the author of this book of medicinal materials has traveled all over the Tianwu Continent." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Who is this author?"

The old man said: "Medicine Sage, Ji Qian 2 Que." ”

Although Zhao Mingwei is not a medical student, he has heard of the name of this medicine saint, Ji Qianque. This Ji Qianque traveled all over the three countries on the Tianwu Continent and tasted all the herbs before compiling this "Encyclopedia of Medicinal Materials".

Zhao Mingwei said: "Old man, are you a member of the Gad Empire, the Medical Association?"

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, yes, now, retired." ”

At this time, the little girl named Wu Qianqian said: "Don't look at my grandfather like this now, he used to be the vice president of the Gad Empire, Longfo Province, and the Medical Association." ”

Zhao Mingwei heard this sentence and immediately said: "I don't see this, it's disrespectful and disrespectful." ”

The old man said, "Don't mention old things. ”

The old man continued: "This gentleman, are you sure you didn't misremember the name, the name of the medicinal herb is really called Tianlong Grass?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "It's called Black Dragon Grass." ”

The old man said, "What is that herb for?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Detoxification." ”

The old man said, "What antidote?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "The poison of the ice needle?"

The old man said, "Is the Ice Needle a hidden weapon?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Yes." ”

The old man continued, "Who are you, gentleman?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Ten Thousand Swords City." ”

The old man said, "Can I ask your name?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Zhao Mingwei. ”

The old man said: "Old man, I know that there are eight great families in Ten Thousand Sword City, and the Zhao family is the head of these eight great families. Are you from the Zhao family?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Yes." ”

The old man continued: "Then do you recognize it, there is a doctor named Su Yun in Ten Thousand Swords City. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "I know, he is the best doctor in Ten Thousand Swords City, and he is also the royal doctor of my Zhao family. He was the one who asked me to come to Tianlong Grass. ”

The old man said: "That shouldn't be, he should know that there is no Tianlong grass on this Tianwu Continent." ”

Zhao Mingwei's face did not change, but his heart was sinking, and below that was a black bottomless abyss.

Zhao Mingwei said: "Oh, maybe I'm mistaken. I'll go back and ask again. ”

Saying that, Zhao Mingwei walked out, his face still as usual.

After Zhao Mingwei walked out, the little girl named Wu Qianqian also said: "Then grandpa, I will go back too." ”

The old man said, "Be careful on the road. ”

After Wu Qianqian walked out of the door, she caught up with Zhao Mingwei and said, "Wait a minute." ”

Zhao Mingwei said, "What's wrong?"

Wu Qianqian said, "Have you had breakfast?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Not yet. ”

Wu Qianqian said: "That's just right, I didn't eat it." How about you invite me to dinner?"

Zhao Mingwei smiled and said, "Why should I invite you to dinner?"

Wu Qianqian whispered, "Can't you?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Okay." What do you want to eat?"

Wu Qianqian said: "Beef porridge." ”

Zhao Mingwei said, "Where do you want to eat?"

Wu Qianqian said: "It's all right." As long as there is beef porridge, it will do. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Then come on." ”

Zhao Mingwei walked in front, Wu Qianqian originally followed him, and then walked and walked, and the two began to walk side by side.

Zhao Mingwei and Wu Qianqian came to a restaurant, this restaurant, with gilt paint written with three eye-catching big characters - Fu'anju.

The two of them walked in, and the waiter in a cheongsam at the door smiled and asked, "Guest officer, how many do you have?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "Two." ”

The waitress with a friendly smile said, "Please come with me, two of you." ”

Zhao Mingwei and Wu Qianqian followed the waiter, walked two steps, and came to a place by the window. The waiter said, "Two of you, please come here." ”

Zhao Mingwei and Wu Qianqian sat facing each other, and the waiter handed them a piece of paper and said, "This is the menu." ”

Zhao Mingwei gave this menu and that pen to Wu Qianqian and said, "You can order it." Eat whatever you like. ”

Wu Qianqian said: "You pay." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Why are you like this, we haven't known each other for a long time." ”

Wu Qianqian said: "You didn't treat me as an outsider at that time. I've been waiting for you for a long, long time. Anyway, you should treat me to a meal, treat me. ”

Zhao Mingwei said with a smile: "Okay, good." You order. ”

Wu Qianqian flipped through the paper several times, don't look at it as just a piece of paper, but there are more than 200 dishes in it.

Wu Qianqian has been looking at the menu over and over again, but Zhao Mingwei doesn't urge her.

Zhao Mingwei looked at her, and there was an inexplicable sense of peace in his heart.

Wu Qianqian said: "Ma'am, ma'am. ”

Wu Qianqian said while waving to the waiter, and at this time, the waiter who had led them to this seat just now trotted over. The waiter was still so elegant while running. Zhao Mingwei looked at the waiter and couldn't help but wonder how she did it with such a temperament.

The waiter took the piece of paper, and it was really strange, this restaurant called Fu'anju was full of people, but there were very few people in the row by the window. Not sure why.

Wu Qianqian said, "Is there anything on my face?"

Zhao Mingwei said: "No. ”

Wu Qianqian said: "Then what are you looking at me all the time?"

Zhao Mingwei said, "Do I have one looking at you?"

Wu Qianqian said: "Yes." ”

Zhao Mingwei said, "Can't I look at you?"

When Wu Qianqian heard this, she blushed suddenly. "Of course, of course." ”

Zhao Mingwei looked at her, kept laughing, and said, "You are so cute." ”

Wu Qianqian said: "I found that your vocabulary is too poor. ”

Zhao Mingwei looked at Wu Qianqian and said, "You can find this, you are so smart." (Zhao Mingwei's complaint: It's not that my vocabulary is poor, it's that this author's vocabulary is barren)

Wu Qianqian said: "You only found out that I am smart now." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Yes, I found out that you are smart and happy?"

Wu Qianqian smiled and said, "I'm a little happy." But I, a smart woman with ice and snow, have known you for so long, and you found out that I am smart, and you are really stupid. ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "You ......"

Wu Qianqian looked at Zhao Mingwei and wanted to speak, but couldn't say it, and the flowers and branches trembled with laughter.

Zhao Mingwei said: "Sister, we only met last night, okay?" ”

Wu Qianqian said: "A smart girl like me, you should know that I am smart at a glance." ”

Zhao Mingwei said: "Is it also my fault? ”

Wu Qianqian smiled: "That's right." ”

At this time, a waiter came out with a cart. The service house put a few dishes on the table, then opened some steamers, and the moment the little steamer opened, white smoke curled up.

The last dish that came up was the beef porridge that Wu Qianqian, the girl wanted to eat.

The waiter said very kindly, "Your dishes are ready, please use them slowly." ”

With that, the waiter left.

Wu Qianqian was unceremoniously, holding a bowl in one hand, just holding a spoon in her hand, and quickly scooped the beef porridge.

After Wu Qianqian helped herself scoop a bowl of beef porridge, she said to Zhao Mingwei: "Bring your bowl." ”

Zhao Mingwei deliberately pretended to be very scared and said, "What are you going to do, you girl, you won't even eat a bowl." ”

Wu Qianqian said: "You ......"

After Wu Qianqian finished saying this word, there was no follow-up, and she kept laughing. She laughed, and Zhao Mingwei laughed too.

Wu Qianqian calmed down and said, "Stupid, bring the bowl over, I'll serve you a bowl." ”

At this time, Zhao Mingwei smiled and sent the bowl over.
