Hua Manlou said: "This table of dishes is sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy, I believe there is always one that Brother Chen likes, right?" ”

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Fengyue is really thoughtful." ”

Qiyun said softly: "Young Master Xia, my son-in-law has spent a lot of effort on this meal, and there are a few dishes made by his son." ”

"Ahem!" Hua Manlou coughed lightly.

Xia Chen teased: "I didn't expect Brother Fengyue to cook, did I just eat this?" "I also deliberately said it lightly, otherwise with Hua Manlou's personality, I would definitely feel that this kind of thing is very embarrassing.

Qiyun no longer dared to talk more, and nodded slightly: "Xia Gongzi eat more, this is good for the body, and I guarantee that you will never eat it in the restaurant." ”

Hua Manlou said: "What you just ate is Lansu grass, which is not only appetizing but also a qi-replenishing holy product." He found that Xia Chen had a kind of ability, no matter what kind of scene he coped with skillfully and naturally.

Xia Chen sighed in his heart, when he arrived at the home of the person who studied medicine, could he only take medicine? Chewing and chewing, she noticed that although the dish was a little sour, it had a jasmine-like aroma when she exhaled through her nose.

"Huh? Not bad. ”

Hua Manlou smiled and said: "You taste it one by one, and it has a unique taste when you taste it." ”

Xia Chen had never thought that eating was such a fun thing, it was a bit like an adventure.

Hua Manlou didn't move his chopsticks much, it seemed that he had enjoyed watching Xia Chen eat, he now knew that Xia Chen had been raised as a boy since he was a child, but when he was with her, he often forgot that she was a girl, a little girl, but even if it was a boy's eating appearance, it was still very surprising, especially her rich expression, which was really interesting.

And he really couldn't understand what kind of environment could create a child like Xia Chen. Intelligence may be innate, but the temperament of naivety and maturity, different from ordinary people's thinking and concepts, full of curiosity about some commonplace things, indifferent to some things that many people are curious about, and many others confuse him.

He noticed that Xia Chen had never drunk, so he asked curiously, "Does Brother Chen never drink?" ”

"Ahh It's spicy! Xia Chen stuck out his tongue. He kept fanning it with his hands.

Qiyun couldn't help but cover her lips and chuckle. The smile on Hua Manlou's face also became stronger: "Brother Chen, it's not spicy when you drink wine." ”

Xia Chen said: "Nonsense, wine is spicy. ”

"This wine is sweet. It was specially prepared by Childe. Qiyun explained.

Xia Chen pouted: "Last time, someone told me that wine is sweet, but it made me choke on spicy enough." ”

Hua Manlou said: "It turns out that Brother Chen was fooled, but I definitely didn't lie to you, this wine was given to me by a friend." It was made with rice wine with green plums, rock sugar, and almonds, and I added the moon spirit fruit and a few herbs to it. Sweet and refreshing. ”

Xia Chen took a sip in disbelief, although there was still a faint aroma of wine, it was indeed not spicy, and it was moderately sweet and sour. Lips and teeth linger. So she drank all the glasses, and Qiyun was busy pouring it for her.

"Brother Fengyue, do you still know how to make wine?"

Hua Manlou shook his head: "I don't understand winemaking." But I often mix all kinds of liquor with medicinal liquor, or preserve some medicinal herbs. ”

"Soaking wine?" Xia Chen asked.

"Almost."

Xia Chen's heart lit up. Perhaps soaking wine is also a good way, not only simple, but also very good taste, and people in this era like stronger wines, pure fruit wine is difficult to accept for a while.

After being full of wine and food, Hua Manlou saw that he was interested in medicinal herbs, so he took her to visit the pharmacy.

If the big room, the medicine box cabinet on the wall, and a wide and long wooden table in the middle of the ground are placed with tools for pounding and grinding medicine, as well as bottles and jars of various materials, Xia Chen couldn't help but say: "Brother Fengyue, you are bigger here than any pharmacy I have ever seen, do you remember so many medicinal materials?" ”

Hua Manlou smiled: "I've been fiddling with these things since I was a child, of course I remember it." ”

Xia Chen thought about it, ancient children did not have to learn as many courses as modern children, and after learning basic arithmetic reading and writing, they directly studied specialty, which saved a lot of time, and it would not be difficult to learn because they were too complicated.

Hua Manlou walked to the medicine cabinet and opened a drawer: "Brother Chen, I'll give you some medicine to ward off the cold and heal your wounds, in case you catch a cold or are injured, you can use it." ”

"Oh. You have so many herbs here, don't you have one to heal my grandmother's eyes? Why did you ask my uncle to find them, I didn't say I couldn't take them money! Xia Chen said, his eyes were attracted by a black jade vial on the table, and he didn't know what magical herbs were contained in it, which was faintly glowing. Curious, she picked it up and opened a crack to take a look.

"I just want to embarrass them, and then see if they have a filial ...... like you" Hua Manlou said and closed the drawer and turned around, seeing the black jade bottle in Xia Chen's hand, his face immediately changed, and he exclaimed: "Don't move that!" ”

Xia Chen hadn't opened it yet, Hua Manlou's roar startled her, and she pulled the cork off the bottle with a shake of her hand, and a pungent fishy smell wafted into her nostrils, and then her eyes went dark, and she didn't know anything.

Hua Manlou hurriedly held her breath and swept to Xia Chen's side, caught her fallen body, and then quickly put the bottle on the table, picked her up and flew out of the pharmacy.

Sai Xue was pruning a Yueji plant in the courtyard, and when she saw Hua Manlou rushing out with Xia Chen in her arms, she asked in shock, "What's wrong with Xia Gongzi?" ”

"Go cook a bowl of vegetarian soup." Hua Manlou dropped a sentence, and the person had entered the room on the west side, which he used to rest and read on weekdays.

He put Xia Chen flat on the bed, quickly took a bottle of potion from the table to rinse his hands, and then took out the silver needle bag from his bosom, and calmly twisted it into several key points on her body one by one.

When Sai Xue came in with Su Xin, she found Hua Manlou sitting on the edge of the couch with a nervous expression, and his cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Childe, who are you?" ”

Hua Manlou closed his eyes as if he was very tired, and as if he had encountered something annoying, he sighed as if he wanted to try to calm himself down: "It's okay, you go down." ”

The black jade bottle opened by Xia Chen contained a flame scorpion, this flame scorpion is a scorpion with extremely strong vitality and strong poison, just close to the place around it, it will be dizzy because of the poison emitted by its body, if it touches its venom or is stung, it will immediately coma, and then it will have a high fever, and it will die in less than half an hour.

The Scorpion, which lives only in the desert, was bought from a merchant in the Western Regions to study its toxicity and prepare an antidote. And the black jade bottle is specially made, and every time he takes a sample, he uses a silver needle to poke into a small hole in the bottle stopper and dip a little, even then he has to use internal power to seal the mouth of the bottle. The pharmacy usually doesn't allow anyone to enter, so he doesn't have the habit of tidying up at any time.

blamed himself for being too careless, Hua Manlou took a Hundred Flowers Antidote Pill, and secretly blamed himself in his heart while pranayama. Although he held his breath, the venom spewed out by the scorpion still touched a little on his hands, but this little, in other words, ordinary people are afraid that it is already the same as Xia Chen, and although he is not invincible, ordinary poison does not work on him.

However, just now he was afraid that the poison on Xia Chen's body would spread, so he didn't deal with the poison on his body in time, so that a trace of poisonous gas entered his body, and he used his true qi, and it was extremely troublesome to drive away the poison on his body, and he hadn't prepared the antidote to this poison yet.

After about a quarter of an hour, Hua Manlou's face turned paler, but there was still a trace of an unusual red tide, he took a sip of vegetarian soup and came to the couch, checked Xia Chen's situation, and couldn't help frowning again.

Feed her a Baihua pill, help her sit up, and Hua Manlou began to use her skills to drive away drugs. Half an hour later, he slammed a few hits on himself, then spurted out a mouthful of blood, and he fainted.

Xia Chen suddenly felt that his whole body was hot and cold, when it was cold, it was like falling into an ice cave, and when it was hot, it was like being roasted by fire, and either was extremely painful.

"What's wrong with me?" She asked to herself.

"Alas!" A faint sigh seemed to come from the depths of my mind.

"I ...... Are you dreaming? "Is it painful to dream? Am I sick?

"You're just poisoned." The voice sounded again, soft as a spring breeze, but with indescribable sorrow and helplessness.

"Who?" Xia Chen was shocked.

"You have seen me in your dreams, and your soul is what I brought here, because you are destined for me."

"Fate? Who are you? Send me back! Xia Chen was surprised and angry.

"This is all providence, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be alive now, and if I hadn't met you, I could only stay silently in the Luan Ring space."

Xia Chen was a little stunned: "It's really that ring!" ”

"Well, I couldn't communicate directly with you originally, and bringing you here has already consumed the little mana I have left, ...... before," she paused, "Fortunately, you got the Half Moon Coin and the Wind God Slash, two things that help me strengthen my soul." ”

"You're talking about the ancient coin and the blade that looks like a knife and a sword?" Xia Chen asked.

"Not bad. It's just that...... Alas, that's it, you have many calamities in this life, and I will help you through this calamity with one soul, and make you invincible from now on, but please don't forget to help me find the phoenix ring, and find a place for us to be spiritual. ”

"Hey, what do you mean by that?" Xia Chen was indigestible for a while, and still had a bunch of questions to ask.

"Remember my request......" the voice did not answer her, but left only these few words, and ethereal as if they had been blown away by the wind.

Xia Chen suddenly felt the pain in her body disappear, and an indescribable force surged from the center of her eyebrows to her limbs, which made her feel an indescribable pleasure.

Hua Manlou woke up faintly at this time, he wanted to hold up his body and was about to check Xia Chen's situation, when he suddenly heard Sai Xue shouting outside the door: "Childe, childe, someone has come to ask us for someone!" ”

He coughed lightly: "Who is it?" ”

"One surnamed Cen, one surnamed Xia, and one surnamed Wei." Sai Xue replied. (To be continued)
