"Then it came later!" Liu Shangxiang asked.

"Ahem......"

Zhang Yu coughed lightly and continued: "Then I went into the cave to explore, and I ended up ...... at the end of the cave."

Zhang Yuyu told Liu Shangxiang about the exploration in the cave according to 1510.

"I see!" Liu Shangxiang nodded when she heard this, but she felt a little mysterious, and she didn't know if it was true.

Liu Shangxiang was also very strange, but he couldn't say why, and said, "Brother Zhang, where is the blood lotus you picked?" ”

"Don't worry, it's inside the medicine box behind me!" Zhang Miyu said, reaching out to take the blood lotus from the medicine frame on his back and show it to Liu Shangxiang.

Liu Shangxiang stretched out his hand to catch it, put it in front of him and glanced at it and said, "Brother Zhang, this is so good, it's really a strange flower." ”

Zhang Yuyu looked at the blood lotus and remembered something, so he said: "Shang Xiang, let's try one by one, what do you think?" ”

"Just taste one slice." Liu Shangxiang said. "Okay!" Zhang Yu nodded. Liu Shangxiang stretched out his hand and folded a petal from the blood lotus, stretched out in front of Zhang Yuyu and said, "You come first?" ”

"Okay!" Zhang Yu smiled, reached out to take the petals, and then put them in his mouth and took a bite, the taste was not bitter, but a little sweet, with a faint fragrance.

Subsequently, Zhang Yu took a few bites, and swallowed the petals into his stomach, and there was nothing unusual about it, except that the flowers were more juicy and refreshing than those when he ate other flowers and plants.

"How?" Liu Shangxiang watched intently as Zhang Yuyu swallowed the whole petal into his stomach and asked.

"It's delicious!" Zhang said with a smile. "That's all." Liu Shangxiang asked. "yes, you can taste it?" Zhang Yu said.

"Good!" Liu Shangxiang didn't believe what Zhang Miyu said, it wasn't that she was suspicious, but she had long known the medicinal effect of this blood lotus, and in her heart, the taste of this blood lotus couldn't be as light as Zhang Miyu said, so she also broke off a petal and tasted it herself, whether it was as ordinary as Zhang Miyu described.

It seems that she doesn't believe what I said, but the taste is like this, I really don't know if this blood lotus is as magical as her grandfather said, it can rejuvenate, but now that I eat it, it has no effect! Zhang met and looked at Yan and saw Liu Shangxiang's suspicions, but he didn't speak, and wanted to wait for her to eat before making a conclusion.

Liu Shangxiang opened his mouth, put the petals in his mouth, bit them a few times, and tasted them with his eyes lowered, as Zhang Yu said just now, except that the thick petals were juicier and sweeter than some flowers and plants, there was no other taste.

Liu Shangxiang also bit a few times and spit it out, and then looked at Zhang Yu a few times, but there was no change, and he did not become younger.

"How useless!"

Liu Shangxiang saw that after eating the petals, Zhang Yu was still the same as before, and he had not become younger, and began to doubt the medicinal effect of the blood lotus, thinking: Could it be that this blood lotus is just a beautiful flower with a good appearance, but like ordinary small flowers and grasses, it has no actual medicinal effect!

"Maybe it's just a legend, deliberately exaggerating the pharmacology of the blood lotus, maybe we took too little, and it has no effect, don't worry about it first, if it's really useful, let's go back and let your grandfather eat this whole blood lotus, even if you can't get younger, you can replenish the body, you said?" Zhang Yu saw Liu Shangxiang's disappointed face, and didn't want to see her sad face, so he enlightened.

"Hope is over!" Liu Shangxiang went down the mountain with the last glimmer of hope and Zhang Yu, ready to let Liu San take the entire blood lotus to see how it went.

Soon the two came out of the woods and walked to the door of the house, and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

"It's still early!" Zhang Yu looked at the scorching sun in the west and muttered to himself.

"Grandpa, we're back." Liu Shangxiang shouted into the house, then pushed open the courtyard door and walked inside.

Liu San heard his granddaughter's shout, got out of the house and saw that the two had come back safely, and stepped forward and said, "It's a hot day, I just picked two watermelons from the backyard melon field, you two go into the house and sit down, take a rest, I'll go cut watermelons." ”

"Thank you, grandpa!" The two of them said politely, and then walked into the hall.

Zhang Miyu took the medicine frame off his back, which contained most of the medicine collected in the forest, so he took it to the yard and poured it out to dry on the floor.

After Zhang met and dried the herbs, he broke out in a hot sweat, and after returning to the hall, he took a feather fan from the table and sat down on the wooden chair next to Liu Shangxiang, fanning himself with the fan.

Liu Shangxiang glanced at Zhang Yuyu and said, "Is it so hot?" Zhang Yuyu asked rhetorically: "What do you say?" Liu Shangxiang blinked his eyes strangely and said, "I said it's not hot!" Why are you not convinced? Zhang Yu said: "Why don't you go outside the house to bask in the sun if it's not hot, why are you still sitting here?" ”

Liu Shangxiang said with a smile: "Where I sit, this is my freedom, besides, this is my home, where I want to sit, I use you to manage, do you care?" ”

"Tut-tut......"

Zhang Miyu smiled and said, "You're not my wife, what do I care about you?" "You ......," Liu Shangxiang was about to open her mouth to scold her. Come on, come on! Liu San came into the house with the cut watermelon and stretched it out in front of the two.

Zhang Yuyu reached out and took a piece and ate it, took a bite, it was very sweet, and ate it quickly.

Liu San also took a piece, sat down opposite the two, and then gnawed on it.

After eating one piece, Zhang Yuyu reached out and took the second piece.

Liu Shangxiang finished eating a piece, then took out the blood lotus contained in it from the medicine frame under his feet and said to Liu San: "Grandpa, what do you think this is?" ”

"Isn't this a blood lotus?" Liu San looked at the thing in Liu Shangxiang's hand, he was surprised, and immediately recognized it, he knew the medicinal effect of the blood lotus very well, so he was very excited, but for the use of the blood lotus, he only saw it from the medicine book, and he had not personally tasted it, nor did he have it.

"Xiaoxiang, is this picked from Fengshengling?" Liu San asked again.

"Yes!" Liu Shangxiang nodded. Liu San asked again: "This cliff of Fengshengling is not something that ordinary people can climb up, how did you pick it?" Liu Shangxiang said with a smile: "Grandpa, this was not picked by me, but picked it up by Brother Zhang when he climbed the cliff with his bare hands." ”

"Xiao Zhang, you ...... If you still have the ability, you can climb the cliff of Fengshengling with your bare hands! Liu San looked at Zhang Yu with a shocked face, wanting to see something from his ordinary-looking face, but after watching it for a long time, he didn't find anything special about him.

Liu Shangxiang saw Liu San's thoughts, so he smiled and said: "Grandpa, I watched him climb up and down with my own eyes, don't you believe him, don't you believe me either?" Liu San said: "But this is too incredible, and I climbed it with my bare hands!" ”
