Chapter 36: The Elixir
The day before, I ran in the peach blossom forest until my legs were sore, and the next day I picked peach blossoms and played crazy for another day, and on the third day, Xue Ying was really sore, and she was a little limping when she walked, and she was afraid that Zhen's mother would find out that it was wrong, so she had to stay in the room to recuperate for two days, and she didn't start walking around again until her condition improved.

It is also thanks to the fact that this is a child's body, which recovers quickly, although it has been sour for two days, but on the third day, it feels refreshed and full of energy.
In the morning, Aunt He'an came to teach a new set of boxing techniques, and by the way, she discussed with her the time of the master's class. Xue Ying also happened to have a lot of questions and wanted to ask the master, and she was very happy to hear that the weather is getting warmer now, and the master can come to class again.
After the lunch break, the two went to the peach grove to play.
Qiaoya has been very effective in walking the plum blossom pile for a while, her body is getting lighter and lighter, and she can already jump around on the peach tree, Xue Ying was startled at first, for fear that she would accidentally fall down or scratch her face, but then she got used to it, so she didn't care about her anymore.
"Miss, there are begonias over there, the flowers are beautiful, I'll pick them back and show you, you wait for me!"
"I've seen that begonia...... Xue Ying muttered helplessly, knowing in her heart that this girl was just looking for an excuse to run farther - for the energetic Qiaoya, following her, a still a little "delicate" young lady is indeed a little depressed.
Qiaoya left, Xue Ying waited in place to be bored, simply loosened her muscles and bones, and beat Aunt He'an's Protestant boxing method again in the morning, because it was a new learning, the movements were not skilled, and it was inevitable that it was a little intermittent and not smooth.
"Poof!" the mockery came, and at the same time a peanut shell hit her from somewhere, "Bai is so old that she can't even compare to a real little girl." β
Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, and looked up, the strange old man didn't know when he appeared, sitting on a peach tree not far away, peeling peanuts one by one to eat. Now not only is his face ruddy, but even his robe has been changed into a clean one, but his hair and beard are still a little messy, and he looks like an ordinary bad old man.
"Hello?" she didn't know how to say hello, so she had to say hello.
"Alright!" the old man tossed the peanut kernel high, and then borrowed it firmly with his mouth, "Little girl, on the whole, your talent for martial arts is far less than that of your maid, but you also have your own strengths, but whether you can find them depends on your luck." Although I have the heart to help you, old man, I can't break the chance. β
"Hmm. Xue Ying nodded, indicating that she understood.
"However, if you save my life, I will always have to pay back this account, otherwise the cycle of cause and effect will be prone to accidents in the future. The old man shook his head, and as he spoke, he had already eaten several peanuts, and then praised them, "These peanuts are really good, they are full, and you can tell that they have been specially selected at a glance." β
Xue Ying remembered the anecdote that Qiaoya had gossiped about with herself this morning: the bag of peanuts dug up by digging the rat hole last year suddenly disappeared, leaving only a piece of broken silver in its place, and the price was just enough to buy the bag of peanuts, no more, no less.
"If the peanuts you are eating now are the other bag in the warehouse, it is indeed selected, but it is not the one who was chosen, it is the rat who chooses. She said honestlyβthis old man could see through people's hearts anyway, and it was better to say it than to slander him.
"Hey, sure enough, those little things have good eyes!" After hearing this, the old man was not angry, but even more proud, "I have the same good vision as them, and they are all good guys!"
The master is really a master, and he can see it.
Xue Ying sighed in her heart and asked, "Are you an immortal or a monster?"
"Neither. The old man smiled, "However, I don't belong to this plane. β
Xue Ying took a moment: Is it also crossing?
"That's right, I'm also crossing. But I'm different from you, I broke through the void by myself to get here, but you were rolled around because there was a space-time crack on your body, and I can go back if I want to, but it's up to you to decide whether you can go back or not. The old man glanced at her up and down a few times, and smiled meaningfully, "Little girl, you have a calamity in this life, which will be above your face, remember that you have saved me, and the old man will return it to you." β
Where should it be? Lava or face?
Xue Ying was confused, the old man threw something over, and the figure dissipated instantly, leaving only the voice echoing in the forest: "This elixir for men will not invade all poisons, quench the muscles and bones, and if the women take it, they will stay young and have no flaws, so you can use it to get through the calamity." β
What the heck?
Xue Ying looked down and found that what she had received in her palm was a shriveled peanut - and it was stunted only by Shan Ren, which was probably the worst quality peanut in the bag.
So what the old man said just now was true or false, was this really an elixir? Or was his old man just idle and teasing her?
He said that she would have a catastrophe above her face, which meant that she would be in danger of being disfigured in the future?
Look around, it's silent, and there's no one to ask questions. Xue Ying sighed, put away the peanuts, and continued to practice the boxing technique just now.
"Miss, I'm back!" Qiao Ya rushed back from afar, still holding a bright wild begonia flower in her hand, the pink color and peach blossoms contrasted with each other.
"Miss, do you think this begonia flower can be eaten? Do you want to make it into a begonia flower cake or something?" Qiao Ya asked excitedly.
Xue Ying smiled, it is estimated that this girl is hungry, and she even wants to eat flowers.
"Would you like to try it and see how it tastes?" she quipped.
Qiaoya immediately picked a petal and stuffed it in her mouth, and then spit it out: "Bitter!"
Xue Ying took the begonia in her hand: "You pick two more peach blossoms, let's go back, didn't Aunt Shunzi say that she wanted to make us snacks before going out?" β
"Okay, okay!" Qiaoya was also really hungry, and when she heard this, she immediately took action, and quickly picked back two peach blossoms, and most of the flower branches were budding flower valleys, so they would not decay soon. The two of them began to walk back together. "Miss, do you want to pick the flowers and go back to the vase?"
"Yes, tomorrow the master will come to class, and we will set up the class. β
There are no good things in this mountain village, but there are always flowers, and setting up the class also shows their welcome to the return of the master.
"Huh?" Qiao Ya was not very happy, "Well, tomorrow the master is going to teach me a set of swordsmanship, can I not go to class first?"
"No, tomorrow the master will have the first day of class. Xue Ying insisted, "I know you're tired from practicing martial arts, but you must be there all the time tomorrow morning, and in the future, you'll only be asked to attend classes for half a day, okay?"
"Okay. Qiao Ya had no choice but to agree, "But, didn't Master say that she only taught you alone?
"Yes and so, but when did the master answer the question of Dong Xun with all his heart? It can be seen that she has always treated us equally. Besides, a day as a teacher......"
"Okay, okay, I got it. Qiaoya interrupted her long nagging and grimaced at her, "Then I'll tell the master that I picked all these flowers, and I don't have your share, hum!"
