Chapter 43: It Was Her
After realizing that her speed might be a little too surprising to Feng Gongzi, Mei Niang decided to hide it a little clumsy, after all, she still needs time to explore Grandpa Mu's secrets, which can only be carried out when Feng Gongzi goes up the mountain to collect medicine, if she is too fast, then she will have to go with him to collect medicine, then there will be no time to do this.
On the second and third days, when Feng Gongzi went up the mountain, Mei Niang ran out for a walk, and the people in the village were familiar, originally this small village had no secrets, Mei Niang was also a character that everyone was very curious about, plus she originally had a purpose, she showed a very talkative and lively side, and even some villagers had joked that he was so handsome, he should help the most beautiful little girl in the village Xu to marry him.
Mei Niang has also gained something in the past two days, when she talks to everyone, she skillfully inquires about one of the aspects of Grandpa Mu's information, as long as the other party shows a little embarrassment, she will divert the topic, and without showing her face, she already knows Grandpa Mu's residence, and only at ten o'clock in the morning every day, people who are invited by Grandpa Mu can go there, the reason is that they don't know. As for how they knew who Grandpa Mu was going to invite, they would show a very respectful expression, because the person who was invited would hear Grandpa Mu speak directly in their heads.
Mei Niang had a certain judgment on this Grandpa Mu at this time. The first is that he is at least the cultivation of the late Yuan Infant period, because Mei Niang's divine sense is very broad, and he can only do the same as this Grandpa Mu when he reaches the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, and directly use his divine sense to complete the conversation with a person, while other cultivation is basically impossible to achieve in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period; 。
If he really has a conflict with this Grandpa Mu, he also has the power to protect himself, at least it is impossible not to escape, but this will make him very passive. The most ideal state is half-truths and half-truths, so that this Grandpa Mu should not be suspicious, it depends on Mei Niang's own acting skills, whether she can convince this old man.
Mei Niang decided to implement her plan tomorrow morning, and fell asleep early that night, Feng Gongzi only thought that she was too tired to read the secretary herbs, if he knew that Mei Niang hadn't been reading at all in the past two mornings, except for chatting everywhere was learning to cook, but in the afternoon, when he was busy treating patients, he had already spent two days memorizing these herbs, and it was estimated that he would definitely treat Mei Niang as a monster.
The night passed quickly, but Mei Niang, who opened her eyes in the morning, was depressed, because she had been so beautiful for a few days that she had forgotten that this was also a normal space, and there would be changes in the four seasons and sunny rain, and the pouring rain outside seemed to tell her that it would be impossible for Feng Gongzi to go up the mountain to collect medicine today.
Sure enough, when Mei Niang put her head out of the door to take a look, she found that Feng Gongzi was standing at the kitchen door opposite, taking off his coat and wringing it out, because he was a spiritual root of the water attribute, and he didn't have the ability to dry his clothes by himself like Mei Niang, and he was obviously cleaning up the herbs that were drying outside.
Finding that Mei Niang had woken up, Feng Gongzi pointed to the sky, and used his aura to gather his voice into a line and said to Mei Niang: "There is a hat in the hall, put it on and come to eat again." ”
Mei Niang nodded to indicate that she already knew, turned around and went back to get the hat and put it on, and ran to the opposite side.
Seeing Mei Niang stretching out her hand to ask for a coat with herself, Feng Gongzi hesitated for a moment, but still handed it over. Mei Niang has also known these days, this Feng Gongzi basically only charges some money for medicinal herbs to see a doctor, and it is good to be able to eat, so there are only a few clothes and shoes at home, and these clothes are wet, and there is really nothing to replace.
Mei Niang used fire spiritual power to dry the clothes for him and then handed them back to him, Feng Gongzi made a rare joke: "It's still the spiritual power of the fire attribute that is practical!"
Mei Niang smiled and didn't answer. It turned out that Feng Gongzi had also curiously asked her what kind of spiritual root she was, and she also polished the answer one by one, and finally decided to say that she was a dual spiritual root of wood attribute and fire attribute, although it was also a relatively good talent, but it was not shocking, and she had a hunch that both attributes seemed to be able to be used here.
After the two of them had eaten, Feng Gongzi sat down and said with a smile: "If I have time this morning, I will tell you about the herbs!"
Seeing Mei Niang nodding, he took the illustrated book of medicinal herbs and began to explain which medicines can complement each other and which medicines are mutually reinforcing.
Mei Niang also listened with relish, and from time to time she would put forward some of her ideas, so that Feng Gongzi would often be surprised by her inferences, two hours passed, Feng Gongzi spoke very happily, more and more she felt that her student was wise, Mei Niang also learned very happily, she finally knew why in the pill prescription left by Emperor Zhang, some herbs are similar, but they cannot replace another herb.
It wasn't until she heard the "grunting" sound of Feng Gongzi's stomach that Mei Niang realized that it was already noon and it was time to cook. Originally, with Feng Gongzi's cultivation, he would not be hungry without eating for half a day, but he has been here for more than ten years, has been a vegetarian, rarely meaty, and there is a lack of oil and water in his stomach, plus there is no spiritual power here, his cultivation is not only not refined, but also declined. What's more important is that he has lived here for a long time, especially the habit he developed in the first three years of living in someone else's house, so that his stomach will remind him to eat when the time comes.
Feng Gongzi got up and went to work after seeing Mei Niang say that I was going to cook, and he was also a little embarrassed. But after thinking about it, there is nothing wrong with the apprentice honoring the master, so he took it for granted again, and even considered whether he should devote half a day every week to teaching Mei Niang pharmacology, so that soon after, Mei Niang could complete the diagnosis and treatment by herself.
As for alchemy, Feng Gongzi didn't think too much about it. Because becoming a junior alchemist is not something that can be done by mastering some pharmacology and knowing some medicinal materials, some of the pills he first came here to refine were completed by relying on his rich experience to control his spiritual power, and Mei Niang could not have experience, so if you want to learn alchemy, you still need to repeatedly compare calculations, which in Feng Gongzi's opinion, will take at least half a year.
Mei Niang took out a ready-made pickled deer leg from the storage space, took the meat down and stewed it in a large pot with vegetables, and used spiritual power to quickly ripen the rice, and in less than a moment, she put lunch on the table.
Feng Gongzi couldn't help but swallow his saliva, but still asked: "How much meat do you still have?" ”
Mei Niang couldn't help but laugh, but she still tried her best to look serious and said: "Then let's raise some poultry too, it's not troublesome, and you can often have meat to eat." ”
Originally, Feng Gongzi was not good at these things, thinking that Mei Niang was a girl after all, this thing was feasible, so he nodded a little happily.
At this time, Feng Gongzi suddenly remembered his wife who was away, and couldn't help but show a hint of longing, and after being silent for a long time, he sighed.
Mei Niang glanced at him, but didn't ask him what's wrong, in fact, she probably knows something, maybe this kind of weather will also bring people some sorrow!
After a while, Feng Gongzi spoke: "Your master is actually not good-looking. It turned out that when my family proposed to marry her, I was teased by my brothers, but I just liked her to be simple, thinking about me first in everything, and I especially liked to laugh. No matter how hard and tired I am, as long as I see her, I feel at ease, and I will have a very happy feeling. ”
After sighing, he said: "Her cultivation is not high, so when I came to the dense forest to practice, although she accompanied me, she could only wait for me on the periphery, and I was joking at the time, saying what if I couldn't go back in case of danger, and she also said categorically that she would definitely wait for me." After so many years, I don't know if this stupid girl is still waiting there, I just hate that I used to be too obsessed with practice, and I couldn't agree to her idea of having a child, if she had a child, maybe she would be happier. ”
When he said this, the expression on Feng Gongzi's face became gloomy, it seemed that this was also the most tormenting thought for him over the years.
At this time, Mei Niang had an idea, and suddenly remembered the inn on the outskirts of the jungle.
"What does Shi Niang look like?" Mei Niang's strange premonition became stronger and stronger, and she couldn't help but ask directly.
Feng Gongzi didn't realize the strangeness in Mei Niang's tone, but replied with a smile: "She is not good-looking, she is a little fat, and she has two dimples when she laughs, which makes people want to be close at a glance." ”
Mei Niang was a little sure in her heart, so she picked up a burned dry branch and drew it on the ground. Because at that time, she was very strange about this proprietress opening a shop there, and the proprietress kindly reminded herself twice, and she was still very impressed by her. Now that I think about it, it turns out that there is a reason why this proprietress keeps reminding herself, and I still think that she is just kind.
Feng Gongzi didn't know what Mei Niang was doing at first, but after all, Mei Niang was also a talented woman who knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in her last life.
The more Feng Gongzi looked at it, the wider his eyes widened, and it could be seen that his mood was very excited, and even his body seemed to tremble a little. Looking at Mei Niang, he suppressed his urge to shout, and said in a trembling voice, "Have you ever seen her?"
Mei Niang nodded, and told him about the time before and after she met the boss lady, although the time was not long and there were not many things, but she still did not miss anything to tell him.
When she raised her eyes again, Feng Gongzi was already in tears, Mei Niang was a little helpless, so she had to watch from the side, and at this time she also knew that she couldn't help Feng Gongzi.
After a while, Feng Gongzi finally stabilized his mood, but a smile appeared on his face: "This stupid girl has really been waiting for me there." Sighing, he added: "That's fine, as long as I know that she is safe and there is hope, I can rest assured." ”
Mei Niang nodded and said, "Yes, as long as there is hope, she will definitely live a good life." So don't be too sad. ”
Feng Gongzi suddenly turned his head and said very seriously: "Thank you, really, in the past ten years, your master's affairs have been pressing on my heart like a big stone, making me breathless." Although I still feel sorry for her now, knowing that she is okay, my heart is relieved. ”
Mei Niang was also a little moved, remembering the time when she accepted the inheritance in Liuxi Town, Li Haoyu waited for her mood, maybe it was the same as this teacher. I haven't seen him for a long time, I don't know how he's doing now?
At this time, the weather slowly cleared, Feng Gongzi said that he went to buy some cubs, and then went out of the courtyard, Mei Niang came out of the meeting, and took out the Dan Sutra left by Emperor Zhang, and began to grind it one by one, in addition to going to Grandpa Mu's house to find out, trying alchemy is also Mei Niang's plan, today after Feng Gongzi's explanation, this plan seems to be able to be advanced.
