Liu Xiaohua came out of the east courtyard and went to the warehouse.

When the people in the storehouse saw her coming, they were very attentive. "Today, the front shopkeeper has received another batch of new medicinal materials. Mr. Big has no time to come and see, Sister Hua will come first. Then he cautiously asked, "When will Mr. Big come over?" "They're still in a hurry to eat. I didn't have anything to eat when I went late, but if I went now, Mr. Big would inevitably get angry when he came to see the warehouse closed.

Liu Xiaohua said, "You go to dinner." I'm here to take care of it. ”

She has always explained her work, and the people in the treasury are not worried.

"If you see three branches, tell her that you don't have to wait for me to eat." During this time, although she and Sanzhi were doing things in different places, they always ate together. Taking the opportunity of eating, she taught Sanzhi to familiarize herself with the medicinal properties of medicinal materials little by little, and by the way, she could also chat and exchange things they encountered. Let the people in the pharmacy know that the relationship between the two people is not shallow, and Sanzhi's life is better, so that they can be regarded as taking care of each other.

The people in the library house knew her relationship with Sanzhi, nodded yes, thanked her, and left together.

Liu Xiaohua took a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose, and opened the packets of medicinal herbs, and with her movements, dust overflowed.

She squinted her eyes and moved the herbs into the storeroom in the same way.

While moving, I matched these herbs with the same number as the things on the Codex.

Although she remembered the things in the codex clearly, she had never seen a shape, and the words described were sometimes more than half a star away from what she had seen with her own eyes.

For example, what is carmine called? What does it mean to be less than half an arm? You have to see things to know what color carmine is in the hearts of those who write codexes, and how long your arms are. So she loves to be in the warehouse when she has everything to do, and compares the things in her memory with the real thing.

Halfway through, Liu Xiaohua saw a half-length Dongshan ginseng but stopped. There was also a green vine coiled on top of the ginseng.

Dongshan ginseng she knows. It was also recorded in the codex, but she had never seen this young vine, let alone found anything similar in her memory, so it was very strange.

She took the ginseng and looked at the little vine carefully. I can't help but be a little curious. What is it that even her ancestors don't know?

After careful inspection, I found that although the small vine looked green and vibrant, its skin was so withered that it was wrinkled. It looks like it's about to die.

She was tempted for a moment, so she turned around and went to find a bowl the size of a palm and filled it with dirt. Then he carefully grabbed the small vine and ripped it off the Dongshan ginseng little by little.

But unexpectedly, her hand was cut by the broken part of the small bowl, and at this time, the originally lifeless withered vine suddenly pierced the hole in her hand with lightning speed.

She immediately reached out and grabbed the vine, but the vine's movement was not normal, and when she grabbed it, the end of the vine that was originally the tip of the vine had already pierced into the wound, and the root that was originally rooted in the Dongshan ginseng let go of the ginseng and curled up in the hand.

Liu Xiaohua broke out in a cold sweat, and one hand tightly grasped the end of the vine that was left outside the skin. I'm afraid that as soon as I let go, I will get into the flesh whole.

But she didn't dare to pull it hard, for fear that if she tore off the vine body, the part that had already been pierced into the flesh would go deeper more freely.

After temporarily controlling the form, she hurriedly looked around, wanting to find someone to help get the vine out. But the people in the treasury were sent to dinner by her.

She immediately stood up and planned to go to the east courtyard, but when she reached the door of the storeroom, she stopped again.

This kind of vine is not even known to the person whose ancestor wrote the codex. Not to mention Mr. Big. If it's just harmless, it's fine, but if it's something bad...... These people can't think of any effective way, will they get rid of her with the host?

Thinking that she might be implicated, Liu Xiaohua immediately walked back to the pile of medicinal herbs, stretched out her hand in the sunlight, and carefully observed the young vine, wanting to see if there was a way to get it out.

When I looked at it, I found that the wound that was still bleeding was gone. The vine seemed to be rooted in her hand, and the edges blended perfectly with the skin. But the vine was not as plant as she had thought it was, because its outer skin was slowly becoming smoother, and its body was gradually rounded and full. It is a plant rather than a snake. It's just that it doesn't feel cold to the touch, it's the temperature of the human body.

Liu Xiaohua hesitated for a moment and tried to pull it out gently, but as long as she used force, the vine drilled inward even harder.

She quickly stopped.

The other party will no longer struggle.

At this time, only half a little finger was left outside. Liu Xiaohua wanted to feel the part of her body and see where it went. But she didn't have any normal sensation in her body.

It is not excluded that it is because this strange thing has the function of paralyzing the human senses.

At the same time, Liu Xiaohua felt that she didn't seem to be overly afraid, but gradually had a feeling of 'it doesn't matter' and 'it's not a big deal'.

The feeling shocked her.

was drilled into the body by a strange thing, and there was nothing she could do with it, as long as it was a normal person, she would have screamed in fright for a long time, but what about her, except for being startled at first, there was no violent reaction after that. How can you be so calm when you encounter such a thing? If you are more aggressive, you may even have your entire arm cut off at once.

Thinking about it, there is only one possibility for her calm. As long as this kind of thing is pierced into the human body, it will change people's minds and give people a false sense of security, so as to prevent human beings from feeling sad about it and protect themselves.

What the hell is this thing?

It certainly can't be a plant.

So, is it some kind of larvae?

There are also records in the Codex of animals that look like plants. In fact, there is a similar situation not only in this world, but also in the world of the original line. For example, Cordyceps.

Liu Xiaohua was thinking too much, someone was calling her, and she didn't realize it at all.

Until the man raised his voice, "That little lady!!" ”

Liu Xiaohua immediately retracted her hand into her sleeve and turned to look. It turned out to be a man. She immediately asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"We are from the Seven Princes' Mansion, and we are here to find Mr. Big."

Liu Xiaohua realized that the person was a little familiar. Isn't he the one who shouted in the flower hall when she followed Siniang to the East Courtyard that day, "The Seventh Prince suddenly recognizes someone" in the flower hall.

He was followed by a man. The man was wearing a hood to hide his face. Tall and lanky build. The clothes were also embroidered.

Most people don't embroider patterns on their clothes. for the garments of this world are not worn much. The embroidery pattern is too laborious. Those with a bad family background can't afford such a toss. At most, embroider something on the cuffs or at the corners of the skirt.

Liu Xiaohua only saw the tricks in Ji Liu, Liu Ziling, or those in power in the clan.

The man stood outside the storeroom, kicked away the medicinal herbs on the ground with his foot, and covered his mouth and nose with one hand, looking very disgusted. He refused to come near, but stood at a distance by the door. Maybe it's disgusted that it's too dirty.

Liu Xiaohua looked down and saw that she was also stained with mud and dust, took off her mask and asked, "Mr. Big, do you know that you are coming?" ”

"Yes, I know." The man in front said, "I thought Mr. Big was here in the storeroom." Why is it not there? ”

The man wearing the hat was about to walk out, but after seeing Liu Xiaohua take off the handkerchief tied to his face, he stopped again, and even looked at her.

Although those eyes were hidden behind the hood, Liu Xiaohua keenly felt that her judgment was not wrong, and that person was indeed looking at her.

"Mr. Big is in the study now." Liu Xiaohua patted the ash on her body, "Shall I take you there?" ”

But when the man heard this, he turned around and left, and motioned for the questioner to follow, but Li ignored her.

Liu Xiaohua waited for them to leave, and hurriedly went to look at the palm. The thing was slippery, she hadn't been able to grasp it when she had retracted it into her sleeve just now, and now only the tip of her tail was outside, and if she didn't look at it carefully, it looked like a green mole had grown in her palm.

Her heart suddenly cooled.

When the people in the treasury came back from eating and greeted her, she couldn't give up. Knocking on the side, none of these old workers who are accustomed to seeing medicinal herbs have heard of anything parasitic on people. So she didn't have any thoughts, and immediately ran to the workshop, and she wanted to find Sanzhi immediately.

Halfway through the run, he collided with Sanzhi, who was coming out of the east courtyard. Before she could speak, Sanzhi smiled when she saw her. Say, "You're blessed!!" Guess what Mr. Big told me to ask just now? He asked you who else you had in the house, and he asked you about something. I also asked you where your aunt is now. I was so scared that I was clinging to good words. When I came out, I asked Siniang about it, but I never expected that Mr. Big was going to say goodbye to his grandson! I want you to be a concubine for Li Tianxing. ”

Siniang followed behind her and said with a smile, "Isn't it!" This is a great event. ”

Liu Xiaohua was stunned and said in disbelief: "I'll make him a concubine?!" ”

Siniang secretly thought, with Liu Xiaohua's birth, being able to be a concubine with a family background like Li Tianxing is already the fortune of burning high incense and accumulating virtue for eight lifetimes, if Li Tianxing is not like this, how can Mr. Big look down on her. In the end, she has a high heart. After all, he is young and doesn't know the market outside. has a little ability, and it is inevitable that he thinks very highly of himself. That's why there is such a reaction.

Siniang smiled and was about to speak. Li Tianxing didn't know where to come from, and pushed away the three branches and sneered at Liu Xiaohua, "You shameless bitch, I don't know what ** soup you poured into my grandfather, you want to be my concubine?" Dream your big spring and autumn dreams! I wouldn't agree! You poisonous woman, it's enough to harm me for a while, and you want to harm me for the rest of your life!! ”

Sanzhi hurriedly said: "This marriage is the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker!" You're going to live together in the future, how can you say that about her? "I want to persuade peace.

In her opinion, Liu Xiaohua was really lucky to be a concubine for the Li family for eight lifetimes, and it was better to just eat fragrant and drink spicy food in the future.

Li Tianxing was so angry that his face turned red, and he pointed to Liu Xiaohua's nose and said, "I'm disgusted just by hearing your name." Ah Hua Ah Hua, is this a human name? My dog wouldn't have a name like that. I said, I only pulled you at that time, and you won't be unsteady, why did you lie on me! It turned out to be trying to seduce me!! Kinky Woman! ”

At this time, everyone present was stunned.

Even the rough workers who passed by stopped and looked this way.

The man in the hood was also standing not far away, as if watching the bustle here.

Liu Xiaohua opened Li Tianxing's hand and sneered, "I'm not blind or stupid, and I'm not stupid, so I can't look down on you." You put a hundred and twenty hearts. Not to mention being a concubine, even if you marry me as the main house, I don't want to, even if you kneel in front of me and beg me, I won't look at you more. ”

Li Tianxing was stunned. stared at her for a long time. squeezed out a sentence "Why don't you look down on me!" ”

Liu Xiaohua pulled his sleeve and went to the east courtyard, "It's just right." You are reluctant, and neither am I. It's better to explain this matter to Mr. Big today. ”

Li Tianxing struggled for a while, but couldn't break free.

As soon as the two of them turned around, Liu Xiaohua saw the man wearing the hat standing at the other end of the corridor.

Liu Xiaohuali ignored him, dragged Li Tianxing past him, and entered the East Courtyard.

Mr. Big was talking to the person who came from the Seventh Prince's Mansion when he saw several people rushing in, frowning and asking, "What's going on?" ”

Liu Xiaohua let go of Li Tianxing and said loudly, "But I don't know where Young Master Sun heard the rumors, saying that I poured ** soup for my husband and had to be a concubine for him." As if I spent all my energy to seduce him, no matter how innocent I am, but I have a bad reputation for lewdness, today I swear here, if I Liu Xiaohua has the slightest intention of being a concubine for Li Tianxing, I will not be able to die of thunder and thunder. ”

Mr. Big was so angry that he pointed at Li Tianxing, "You! You! You brute! How can you say that about others! ”

Li Tianxing had already withered, and he yelled and said, "I didn't say anything." I just scared her! Don't scare her, do you carry her into the door and let her ride on my back to and pee! ”

Liu Xiaohua ignored him, her eyes turned red and said to Mr. Big: "My girl's family cares most about reputation. Young Master Sun said such a thing, and I would never dare to stay in the pharmacy anymore. What face do I have to stay here, and no one else knows what to say about me in the future. Will I still be able to survive by then!? If the gentleman doesn't agree, I will die here today, so as to complete my innocence! ”

Mr. Big really doesn't know what to do. He has a set of methods for making pills, but he doesn't have much talent for mundane things. glared at Li Tianxing angrily, and comforted: "Don't say that, this matter is my ......"

"Sir, say no more. If you are ashamed, you will be ashamed of me. In the future, please take care of yourself. After speaking, Liu Xiaohua turned around and left.

Sanzhi was also stunned. I don't know how it came to be like this.

The fourth lady who was standing on the side reacted quickly, and immediately grabbed Liu Xiaohua and said, "Don't be rash, where can you go now when you leave the pharmacy?" ”

Liu Xiaohua just hid her face and sobbed, choked up and said, "I, I'm starving to death outside, and I can't stay here." If you pull me again, I'll die here!" ”

Sanzhi hurriedly said, "You are penniless, how can you live?" ”

Mr. Big was ashamed and angry, and grabbed Li Tianxing's ears a few times. Li Tianxing felt that he had said something terrible, shrunk his brain, and secretly glanced at Liu Xiaohua several times, not daring to squeak.

Liu Xiaohua smiled miserably, turned around, and bowed to Mr. Big, "My departure is not related to my fellow villagers." Please also ask Mr. Big to take care of one or two fellow villagers, she is an honest person, and she is not unreasonable in her work. In the future, if there is still a place in the pharmacy that can use me, just ask her to come and ask me. Even if I don't stay in Tiancheng in the future, the correspondence with her will not be broken. Mr. Big's great kindness to take me in, I dare not forget jì. Wherever there is a help, you must know everything, and you must say everything......"

When Mr. Big heard this, he hurriedly came over to help her, and said angrily: "I hope this matter is wrong with that little animal." How could I be angry with others. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Big." Liu Xiaohua didn't wait for him to say anything more, turned around and left.

Mr. Big, a man, was not easy to pull her, standing behind her, watching until her figure disappeared outside the door, his face was still dazed.

This happened so fast.

If you had given him a little time to calm down, the outcome would have been different.

He stood there for a while, thinking that this incident was all made by his grandson, and he was so angry that he slapped Li Tianxing on the back.

Liu Xiaohua ran out of the pharmacy, and Sanzhi also chased after her. Grabbed her and said urgently, "Where are you going!" How good is it now! ”

Liu Xiaohua wiped her tears, not crying or angry.

Sanzhi was stunned, "You...... You ............"

"I have an urgent matter now, and I have to go to the Sanqing Hall to see my master." Liu Xiaohua thought about it to herself, she was pierced with such a strange thing on her body, and a bad one might be in danger. If there is one person in this world that she can believe, and there is one person who is willing to save her wholeheartedly, if she thinks about it, it can only be Liu Yourong, if even Liu Yourong doesn't help her, others don't have to count on it.

She should observe whether this thing has any negative effects on her body before making a decision. But it was so far away from Binzhou, she didn't know if she would be able to catch up when her body showed signs. I don't know what kind of thing will affect her when this thing is stuck in her hand, in case by the time she notices that something is wrong, it will be too late, wouldn't it be even worse.

So I didn't dare to stay longer for a moment. A little faster, maybe a little more life.

"What's the urgency?" Seeing that she didn't seem to be joking, Mieda also became worried.

Liu Xiaohua shook her head, didn't explain much to her, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do you want to go with me?" ”

"With you?" Sanzhi was stunned, "Go to Sanqing Palace?" ”

"Yes. Go along. Liu Xiaohua said firmly.

"But what am I going to do? ”

"My master is a very good person. Maybe he will be willing to accept you as a disciple? Even if I don't accept you as a disciple, I will let you stay. is close to the immortals, and there may be other opportunities. ”

"Yes...... But......" Sanzhi hesitated, "But in Tiancheng, it's actually not bad." Besides, the path of cultivation is so difficult, have you forgotten those people in the clan temple? ”

"But in life, nothing is easy, and there is no risk." It's sitting at home, and there are people who have been hit by cars and died.

"But, aren't you afraid?"

"Yes." Liu Xiaohua remembered that when she was a child, she didn't finish her homework, and she felt that the sky was about to fall, and she was scared at that time. When I was a little older, I was afraid to die because I failed the exam, and I didn't dare to let my parents know the results. When I was a little older, I felt that it was meaningless to live because I was hurt by someone, and I was even more afraid that I would not be able to live in the future.

These pains and fears, when people look back after they have grown up, may feel stupid and stupid, and laugh at them.

But at the time.

The fear and fear of not finishing the homework is not less than half a point less than the fear and fear when encountering the so-called big event after maturity. The psychological suffering suffered was not lighter than that afterward. As long as people live, no matter where they live or what kind of identity they have, they will not be able to escape the joys, sorrows, sorrows and sorrows of birth, old age, sickness and death.

"When you are young, you have the fears and hardships of childhood, and when you are adults, you have the fears and hardships of adulthood. Being an ordinary person has the fear and difficulty of being an ordinary person. Being a cultivator also has its own fears and difficulties as a cultivator. These fears and hardships are not half a point lighter or half a point less because of different identities. Even if they don't be human, how can beasts and spirits not have their own fears and difficulties? What's more, when people go to higher places, water flows to lower places. Wouldn't it be ridiculous if we cowered because we wanted to avoid those fears and dangers? So what are we going to do when we go out of the mountains first? So I was a little village girl in a mountain village, and I married a powerful man, wouldn't it be trouble-free for this life? ”

Liu Xiaohua said this call comfortably. At the same time, even the slight hesitation in her heart disappeared, and she said solemnly: "Even if you stay in Tiancheng and live the life of an ordinary person, no one dares to say that you can live a safe and smooth life without going through any hardships." After all, people have good and bad luck, no matter what they do, it's the same, I want to see, the scenery that I haven't seen. ”

But Sanzhi just stood there and didn't speak.

She didn't quite understand.

Liu Xiaohua knew that she couldn't convince her. After being silent for a while, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay." Since you don't go, then, my aunt will entrust it to you. ”

Sanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay" After thinking about it, he said urgently: "But you don't have any money!" If you want to go to the Sanqing Palace, it's not a matter of one or two days. How do you get on the road! ”

"There's always a way." Liu Xiaohua touched the thing in her palm subconsciously, where could she care so much now. I can only go on the road first and then say, "You can rest assured that you are working in the pharmacy, Mr. Big is at a loss, and there is still a place where you can use me, and you definitely don't want to be bad with me." I'll think of letters to you all the way, if there is anything in the shop to ask you, if you don't know, just ask A-Niang to write and ask me. ”

Seeing her so anxious, Sanzhi also knew that there must really be something terrible. didn't say more, and hurriedly took out a few money from his arms and stuffed it into her.

Liu Xiaohua did not shirk this time, took the money, and immediately went to the city gate.

Sanzhi watched her figure get smaller and smaller in the wind and snow, and his heart was full of melancholy. Is it just a separation? Why does Ah Hua have to go to Sanqing Palace?! Isn't it good here?! Sanzhi didn't understand her thoughts at all. It's just that his eyes are hot, the tip of his nose is sour, and he waves his hand and shouts, "You have to take care!" I'll take good care of my aunt! ”

The little figure stopped, turned around and waved at her
