Chapter 29: Medicinal Soup

After Mr. Qishan Huiqi's righteous son Chen Ting visited, the life in the small courtyard still had to go on.

The night before, he said that he would go to the pharmacy in Su Town to look for medicinal materials together, and by the way, Xue Yun and Zhou Yan in other places in the town had not changed, and soon after Chen Ting left, they went out together.

It is worth mentioning that the two of them did not go out alone, and Su Run also followed.

In the rented house, only Xiao Luo and the owner of the house, Granny Qian, remained.

When I went out in the morning, it was dark and the three people who went out came back.

Speaking of Suzhen, it is not big, but now because of the unknown epidemic, most of the shops in the town are closed, and there are many fewer people who come out to set up stalls......

They literally went out for a whole day.

When he came back, Zhou Yan's face was ruddy and smiling, Xue Yun looked a little happy, and Su Run, who was walking at the end, although he still had his face as always, his brows seemed to be wrinkled a little.

After all, he is a monk, and he has at least a storage bag on his body, and even if he comes back from a day outside, his hands are still empty, and he doesn't know how much "harvest" he has.

When the three of them returned, the small courtyard happened to be lit with lights, and the smoke was bursting, and the aroma of food greeted them.

The owner of the house, Granny Qian, and Xiao Luo, the only one who stayed here and didn't go out, were talking and laughing from the stove room, and the meal was still steaming.

"It's so fragrant!" Zhou Yan came to Granny Qian's side: "Mother-in-law, your craftsmanship has improved again, it's just mouthwatering!"

"You are wrong this time!" Granny Qian smiled and patted Zhou Yan's arm: "Old woman, I really don't have this skill, and I didn't make several dishes tonight." ”

"It's not you, ......" Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, and turned his eyes to Xiao Luo, who had already walked to Xue Yuan's side on the other side, and was looking down and smiling and talking to her about something: "...... Is it Xiao Luo?"

"No!" Granny Qian couldn't help but praise: "This young man's cooking skills are really good, better than my old wife who has been cooking for decades, which is really admirable." I asked the old woman in the stove room, Xiao Xiaozi's cooking is Xue Yatou's favorite dishes, Xue Yatou is really blessed!"

Zhou Yan looked at Xiao Luo and Xue Yun over there, and turned his gaze to Su Run, who was pouring water for himself to drink: "...... Don't. "Isn't it an enviable blessing to be remembered by people all the time?

"Alas, this really can't be compared!" Granny Qian couldn't help but sigh while walking to the table with Zhou Yan: "Look at the young boy of the family, and then think about the old man of our family, it's really ...... Over the years, I've eaten his boiled white porridge twice, and once he was sandwiched and burned! Compared with Xiao Xiaozi, it's far worse!"

"When my mother-in-law said this, it was time for Uncle Wei to hear it. Granny Qian walked to the table as she spoke, Xiao Luo raised her head and smiled when she heard it, pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "Look, this fresh vegetable, this bamboo shoot, oh, and this you see, after dealing with the hares that were sent, aren't they all sent to you by the doorkeeper Wei Boberto before noon today? Uncle Wei is also always thinking about it, for fear that you won't eat well!"

Granny Qian smiled with crooked eyebrows, her mouth was a little unclosing, and she waved her hands: "Don't mention it, this bad old man wastes all this effort, and he also bothers the monks and adults who are guarding Su Zhen to give me something for an old woman who is nothing, delaying other people's efforts, and it's embarrassing." ”

"How could it be?" Xue Yuan, who was seated next to Xiao Luo, said with a smile: "When others see it, they will only envy you and Uncle Wei for having a good relationship." ”

Granny Qian's wrinkled face was a little flushed with a smile, but her eyes were still bright: "Oh, hey, don't talk about that bad old man, let's eat! Catch up with Ming'er, I also learn from Xiao Xiaozi how to do this, if the few people guarding the town gate don't dislike it, I will also send some over to thank others, the old man has troubled people for so long, and he is clumsy and doesn't know if he has thanked people well." I'm embarrassed to show my hands on my previous skills, but when I learn these dishes of Xiao Xiaozi, I will have a little confidence. ”

"Okay!" Xiao Luo nodded without hesitation: "I don't have anything to do with the left and right, it's easy to teach you a few dishes." ”

Hearing Xiao Luo agree, Xue Yuan's hand holding chopsticks beside him shook slightly, and he raised his head and looked at Xiao Luo. Xiao Luo sent a "explain later" glance at Xue Yuan, and naturally started to clip a chopstick bamboo shoot to Xue Yuan.

Zhou Yan's gaze followed the bamboo shoots on Xiao Luo's chopsticks to the bowl in front of Xue Yuan, paused and turned to Su Run, who was eating silently, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Granny Qian is right, this person really can't be compared......

Forget it, anyway, she doesn't dislike it.

Thinking so, Zhou Yan's chopsticks also reached for the plate of bamboo shoots, and he generously grabbed a chopstick and sent it to Su Run's bowl.

Su Run was slightly stunned, the tips of his ears were a little inexplicably red, and he lowered his eyes and slowly ate the chopsticks and bamboo shoots as if nothing had happened.

After Xiao Luo saw it, he raised his eyebrows, and gave Xue Yuan two more chopsticks.

Xue Yun didn't pay much attention to the extra bamboo shoots in his bowl, his eyes turned between Su Run and Zhou Yan, and he silently had a plan in his heart.

As for Granny Qian, she looked at Xiao Luo and Xue Yun on the left, and then at Zhou Yan and Su Run on the right, and smiled meaningfully.

......

In the evening, Xue Yuan, who had boiled some medicinal soup according to Zhou Yan's prescription, knocked on Xiao Luo's door.

Xiao Luo opened the door and saw Xue Yuan's eyes light up at first, and when she smelled the strong smell of medicine, and when she saw the medicinal soup in her hand, her brows trembled.

Xue Yuan's reaction to him was not surprising, and he stepped in and put the medicinal soup on the table. When Xiao Luo closed the door and walked over, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the medicinal soup: "Drink it while it's hot." ”

The smile on Xiao Luo's face remained unchanged: "...... Why did you suddenly remember to boil medicine for me? What kind of medicine is this?"

"Conditioning and replenishment. ”

"My injuries...... Such an ordinary medicinal soup doesn't have much effect, so it's better to ......"

Xue Yun smiled and looked at Xiao Luo, who was standing two steps away, not close to the table where the medicine bowl was placed: "You also said 'it doesn't have much effect', not 'it doesn't work at all', since that's the case, it's okay to have a little bit, drink it." ”

"This, in fact, ......"

"Zhou Yan took me to the pharmacy that was still open in the town today, and it took a lot of time to find the medicinal materials on a prescription, and it was rare that there were two low-level elixirs in it, which was better than nothing. Xue Yun said and sighed: "Su Zhen is not big in the first place, the things in the pharmacy are not complete, and there are even fewer elixirs, and now it has been banned for a long time and has no contact with the outside world, and there are only two remaining pharmacy shops that are still open, and it has taken a lot of effort to get these together." Zhou Yan said, except for those two flavors, they are all ordinary medicinal materials, don't think about alchemy, making pills is easy to damage the medicinal properties, or boiling into medicinal soup has the best effect. Today I bought something to boil medicine, and I boiled it myself. ”

"......" After listening to Xue Yuan's words, it took a lot of effort to make medicine for himself, Xiao Luo clenched his fists, was silent for a moment, but walked to the table, took a deep breath, and then reached out to pick up the medicine bowl, closed his eyes, and drank it all with his head up.

Xue Yun had a triumphant smile in his eyes when he saw Xiao Luo reaching out for the medicinal soup, and looked up at him after drinking the dark brown medicinal soup, he even had an ugly face that turned blue, and couldn't help but laugh "poof", in the end, he still took out a packet of candied fruit from the storage bag, pinched two and handed it to Xiao Luo.

Xiao Luo didn't use his hands to take it, he leaned over and took it in his mouth, hurriedly took it into his mouth and chewed it, and his frowning brows slowly loosened.

Xiao Luo is afraid of hardship.

It was those high-level pills, if they had a little bitter taste, he would frown slightly when he ate them, and this bitter medicinal soup was only willing to drink it when he was still young and didn't use the pills. If he hadn't grown up with him since he was a child and had seen a lot of troubles with each other, Xue Yuan wouldn't have known about it.

Thinking about it carefully, as a monk, he almost no longer gets sick, and the elixir he uses on weekdays is also the elixir, if the medicinal soup is not a choice, no monk will drink it, and now Xue Yuan is probably the only person who knows that the person in front of him is still afraid of suffering and taking medicine like a child.

Xue Yun watched him chew and chew the candied fruit, and then couldn't help but ask: "You are not surprised that Zhou Yan took me to find medicinal materials and prescribe a prescription for you to boil medicine." ”

"Surprised, what?" After the bitterness in Xiao Luo's mouth dissipated a lot, a smile appeared on her face again: "She is not as good as me in cultivation, but after all, she also understands medical skills when she studies poison arts, and it didn't take long for her to see that I was injured." With Su Run's relationship, we have also become friends, so it is not surprising that we would do this. ”

“...... Cut. Xue Yuan turned his face away. I thought I could surprise someone. Just like when I first heard Zhou Yan mention the pharmacy last night.

"Since you've found all the medicinal materials today, won't you go tomorrow?" Xiao Luo sat down at the table: "Let Su Run and Zhou Yan go out by themselves?"

"Hmm. Xue Yun nodded and sat down on the other side: "I look at the atmosphere...... I think I'd better not bother. ”

"Yo!" Xiao Luo raised her eyebrows, stretched out her hand across the table, and rubbed her hair before Xue Yun could react: "So eye-catching?

“...... Xiao Luo!"

Xiao Luo quickly withdrew his hand the moment before Xue Yun stretched out his hand to fight: "Hey!

Xue Yuan took two deep breaths, skipped the matter, and asked another topic: "Are you here...... Isn't pranayama going well?"

Xiao Luo smiled, knowing that she remembered that he should pay her mother-in-law during the meal: "It's nothing, don't worry." ”

Xue Yun pursed his lips: "...... It has something to do with the Great Array Barrier that bans Su Town?"

Xiao Luo saw that Xue Yun had guessed a little, and smiled a little more heartily: "As you guessed, although the spiritual power in Su Zhen is not too thin now, it may be a little disturbed due to the influence of the Great Array of Sealing, and it has no effect on meditating and cultivating when there is nothing to do, but it is not so suitable to use it to heal my injuries at the moment, it is best to straighten out some and then absorb it into the body temperature to nourish the meridians." ”

"That ......"

"It's okay, I've already figured out how to set up a spirit gathering array here that has the effect of easing spiritual power, and I already have some clues, and I have to deduce it again, so I won't be in a hurry to breathe before that. ”

“...... Then drink the medicine first, I will boil it for you every day. ”

Xiao Luo's face stiffened, and his eyes turned to try to change the topic: "Ahem, this...... Again. Fang just said that he would start to let Su Run accompany Zhou Yan out tomorrow, right?"

"Hmm...... What's wrong?"

Xiao Luo said with a smile: "Su Run has a strength, just give it a look at this time." ”

Xue Yuan: "Huh?"

"Then you'll know. Xiao Luopo smiled meaningfully: "Su Run, in fact, sometimes, it is still very useful. ”

At this time, Su Run, who was meditating in his room: "Ahh
