Chapter 100: Bitten
Dayan Mountain in the early morning is the time when the humidity is the heaviest, and even in the Changxiang Palace, the fog is almost within reach.
Bai Liling casually draped a blouse, the undershirt was loose, and the neckline was slightly open, revealing the sexy collarbone and the smooth muscle lines on the chest. After leaving the dormitory, he stood at the door with his arms crossed, looking at the faint glow in the sky, and then walked towards the back mountain of the Tianji Palace.
The maids who met him on the road almost all saluted him with red faces, and only after he walked past did they come back to their senses in a trance and hold down their beating hearts.
This man is not only born with beautiful eyebrows, but his uninhibited behavior is completely revealed from his bones. Even if it's just a casual eye wave, it can make people's hearts move faster, but the thin lips that are lightly pursed make people dare not give birth to the slightest blasphemy.
When he rises, he can go up the mountain and down to the sea to find strange fragrances, just to please the beauty for a moment; When he was unkind, others either went bankrupt for him, or stayed hard for ten years, and he couldn't look back.
Jingchen has been accustomed to getting up at a fixed time every morning to do morning classes, and sure enough, when Baili Ling walked along the bluestone road in the back mountain to the Tianquan Palace, he saw a quiet and pious shadow sitting cross-legged under the eaves of the incense hall and beside the curling cigarettes.
Bai Liling smiled, his eyebrows were flying, he swaggered over, took his robe and sat down on the other side of the incense burner, bent one leg, and his posture was comfortable and lazy.
After Jingchen finished his homework, he opened his eyes and folded his hands: "Ani Buddha Buddha, Baili Great Incense Master, what are you doing here at the little monk again?" â
Baili Ling squinted at him, and said with a smile: "Bai Guanghan, this is a goose plucking, it's really welcome." Cui Wenjun and Fang Wenjian are estimated to be disgusted! He laughed. Then he said. "But that kid from the Xie family, I really don't know if he has backbone or stupidity, he cheapened Xie Yun's house, but in the end, he wanted my little girl to suffer together."
Jingchen said: "Master Bai Daxiang has his own plans for this matter, you and I don't need to bother about it." â
Bai Liling squinted slightly, and suddenly leaned over, her nose almost touching Jingchen's face. Jingchen's dark eyebrows trembled, and he put his hands together and chanted "Ani Buddha Buddha". Then he said seriously: "The little monk is not a man, so don't tease the little monk with the great incense master of Baili." â
Baili Ling was stunned, then laughed, and put his hand on Jingchen's shoulder and said: "If you are not good for men, then you are good for women, so good, you have been eating and chanting Buddha in the temple for so many years, and now you should come out and open meat seriously." Don't worry, Bai Guanghan doesn't care about you, my brother takes care of you, and I'll arrange it for you today. â
The dust was flushed. Busy said: "The little monk didn't mean that!" â
Baili Ling laughed again, laughing charmingly. Jingchen couldn't stand him a little, so he got up and walked away. Baili Ling grabbed him, slowly smiled, and then suddenly asked: "Bai Guanghan, why are you in such a hurry to find an heir?" â
Jingchen was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Baili Ling, and Bai Li Ling said: "Although it is not easy to find the heir of the Great Fragrance Master, but at his current age, he is looking for an heir with such fanfare, don't say that this matter is me, but anyone who pays attention to the Changxiang Hall will have such questions in their hearts." â
âŚâŚ
The Xiangnu of the Tibetan Xianglou told An Lan and Xie Lanhe to tie a weedy valley wetland on Dayan Mountain and told them to go back before dark, and then turned around and walked away.
An Lan put down the bamboo basket, squatted down and dialed in the wild grass, and after turning around the neighborhood again, she looked at Xie Lanhe and said with a smile: "I can't imagine that this season, there are still so many smoked grasses in this place, let's start, if it's fast, maybe half a day is enough." â
Xie Lanhe nodded, didn't say much, rolled up his sleeves, and then bent down......
Smoked grass, also known as tonka, mostly grows in the valley wetlands, the leaves are like hemp leaves, bloom in mid-July, the smell is like turnips, and the fragrance wafts ten steps away. Between September and October, the plant is uprooted, the sediment on the root is removed, and dried into the shade, with the stems and leaves tender green, gray-green, dry, strong aroma, and no sediment is better.
This kind of incense picking work, An Lan was used to doing it when she was a child, almost every smoked grass was uprooted by her, and it didn't take long for her bamboo basket to fill a small half. She turned her head to look at Xie Lanhe, and saw that Xie Lanhe's bamboo basket was also filled with the same amount of smoked grass as her, she was very happy, at this rate, it is estimated that it will not take half a day to harvest five catties.
It's just that when she was about to withdraw her gaze, she suddenly found that the rhizome of the smoked grass pulled out by Xie Lanhe was broken, but she still threw it into the bamboo basket. She was stunned for a moment, then got up and walked over and crouched down beside him. Xie Lanhe stopped what he was doing and looked at her puzzled, with a little anxiety and annoyance in his eyes.
An Lan stretched out her hand to grab a smoked herb, and gently poked a dead branch to the side with the other hand, and then said: "When I was almost seven years old, I began to follow Shannon to the valley to pick incense. The people who come to collect the incense are very strict, and the price of the smoked grass with broken rhizomes is much lower. Everyone depends on this to eat, and if one plant is injured, it is less money, so no one dares to be careless. â
As she spoke, she had pulled out a whole smoked grass, and it was extremely easy to see. Xie Lanhe's face was slightly hot, and every time he pulled out a smoked grass, he had to work hard, and his arm was scratched by the weeds and dead branches next to him many times.
"The main thing is to use the strength on the wrist, at the beginning the fingers can not use brute force, pay attention to the elasticity, and the surrounding soil can be pulled out when it is carefully loosened." An Lan didn't ask him if he was clear, and after pulling out one plant, he pulled out another plant, explaining while doing it.
Xie Lanhe felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassed at first, but after seeing An Lan's calm look, he learned as she said. Although he has been raised outside since he was a child, he has never really suffered anything except for being looked down upon, especially in terms of food and clothing, Xie Liuye has never shortened his mother and son. Therefore, he didn't say that he had done such rough work, but he had never even seen it. So I didn't expect that it was just a matter of pulling out a few grasses and planting them, and there were so many doorways in them.
A few times later, Xie Lanhe also pulled out a complete smoked grass, laughed immediately, and handed the smoked grass to An Lan with some smugness and shook it: "How is it!" â
An Lan also smiled: "Young Master Xie is smart, I learned for a long time at the beginning to master this skill." â
Xie Lanhe's face showed a little bit of shame on his face: "Don't praise me, weren't you young at that time." â
An Lan smiled again, and pointed to the side: "Then I'll go over there." â
Xie Lanhe nodded, and An Lan stood up, but she had just taken two steps when Xie Lanhe suddenly stopped her: "Miss An Lan!" â
She was stunned, and when she turned around, she saw Xie Lanhe rushing towards her with the smoked grass in his hand!
It was a short moment, but many thoughts popped into her head.
This is on Dayan Mountain, although it is a relatively gentle slope, but in the end it is on the mountain. At this time, there is a steep slope not far from her, if she accidentally falls, I dare not say whether she can save her life, but she must not be able to continue to stay in Jinxianghui.
There are two people in each group, and even if Shun lĂŹ is recognized by the Great Incense Master, only one person can advance in the end.
And the premise is that the two must cooperate, so if one person can no longer participate in the Jinxiang Club due to considerable conditions, then the final promoter is naturally the one who can stay......
At that moment, she didn't see the horror and anxiety in those glassy eyes, but only thought about things in a very bad direction. So, when the snake that swam to her feet suddenly turned around and bit Xie Lanhe's arm, she knew what was going on.
An Lan hurriedly turned sideways and raised the stick in her hand to hit the snake, which was frightened and quickly escaped into the grass. An Lan turned her head with a white face, and hurriedly threw down the bamboo basket to help Xie Lanhe: "Bit, bite!?" Where did the bite go? Let me see! â
Pushing his sleeve up, I saw the wound on his forearm, the white arm, lined with this little bead of blood, extremely dazzling. She panicked, so she lowered her head and helped him suck out the blood from the wound.
Xie Lanhe was a little stunned, the girl's soft lips touched his arm, making him stiff, and it wasn't until An Lan spit out two mouthfuls of blood that he came back to his senses and stammered a little: "An, An An Lan girl, you, do you know what kind of snake it is?" Is it highly toxic? â
An Lan felt that it was almost the same, so she raised her face, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and said with some gratitude and guilt: "We all call that kind of snake ash, poisonous, but not fatal poison." â
As soon as he heard that it was poisonous, Xie Lanhe's face turned a little pale, and he hurriedly asked, "What poison?" â
"After being bitten, you will have a fever, at least one night, at most three nights." An Lan looked for both sides as she spoke, and then helped him and said, "Young Master Xie, you rest on that stone first, and I'll find you some herbs to compress it, which can detoxify some poison." â
Xie Lanhe sat down a little dazed, then lowered his face, looked at his arm, and his mind was a little messy for a while.
If he has a fever, then he is afraid that he will not be able to do anything in the past few days, and at that time, even if the incense that comes out is approved by the great incense master, he will not be selected.
After An Lan found the herb, she took it off and put it in her mouth and chewed it, ran back, put it on Xie Lanhe's wound, and then took out her own handkerchief to wrap it, then looked at him and said, "It's okay, I've been bitten before, and many people in our incense courtyard have also been bitten, and it's just a little bit of burning." Someone showed it to the doctor, and the doctor said it was okay, it wasn't highly toxic. â
Xie Lanhe lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, he didn't say anything, it's useless to say anything now.
An Lan stood in front of him and said with some guilt: "You bear with me, none of us should tell about this, the people of the Xiangdian should not know." Yesterday, Lianyue also said that we are going to concoct incense medicine in the incense room tonight, so you don't have to go back, and the fourth young master will not know about it, and after tonight, there should be nothing to do."
Xie Lanhe was stunned and raised his face.
An Lan said again: "Thank you for saving me, otherwise I would have been bitten." â
ââââââ
I forgot to explain, in the previous chapter, Lianyue said that they were rosemary, because the season and place were not suitable, so it was changed to smoked grass. (To be continued......)
