Shortly after she arrived on the mountain, it began to rain heavily. Chu Xiaoxi hurriedly found a cave to hide, and at this time her clothes were already wet. She wiped the rain from her head and face, thinking to herself what if something happened to her mother-in-law at this time, and there was no one around her to take care of her?

She was in a hurry, but she had no choice but to wait for the rain to light up and rush back.

She looked at the cave, the cave was not big, only two or three people could stand together, she leaned in, lest the rain splash on herself, she looked at the herbs in the basket, and there was still a medicine that had not been picked, that is, the most difficult medicine to pick, if there was no such medicine, the effect of the medicine would be greatly reduced.

She felt that the old woman didn't seem to have a bad cough in the past two days, and this medicine could work more or less, so she decided that she must pick the medicine, or she wouldn't go back, even if there was only one plant.

She silently prayed that the rain would stop soon, found a clean place, and sat down to meditate.

Unconsciously, her mind wandered to Shangguan Yun again, and she saw that Shangguan Yun and Colorful Mother-in-law were doing palm to palm with their eyes closed and facing each other, and she didn't know what the two of them were doing, but it seemed that they should be practicing some spell.

She was amazed to see that Granny Qicai had opened her eyes and looked at Shangguan Yun twice during her practice, and it seemed that she had not put all her mind on meditation. She sweated for Shangguan Yun, because she was easy to get mad if she was not attentive like this, and she didn't know what bad ideas Granny Qicai was playing.

She wanted to try to sneak into Shangguan Yun's mind and tell him to be more vigilant, but who knew that he had tried a few times and failed to succeed, it turned out that he was communicating with Granny Colorful at this time, and the two didn't know what they were chatting about.

She was a little jealous and withdrew.

At this time, the sound of the rain gradually became quieter, so she stood up, looked out, and found that the rain was indeed much lighter, and she did not want to wait any longer, in case the rain fell again in a while, she would suffer, so she walked out of the cave and braved the rain to step on another herb.

She walked through almost all the cliffs, but did not find the herb, and then went to a place where she had never been, and finally picked one, and she put the herb in the bamboo basket like a treasure, and then hastened her pace and walked back, and was very happy.

She hurried down the hill with one foot deep and one foot shallow, because the road was slippery after the rain, and she walked very carefully. She thought that when she returned, she should prioritize learning the teleportation spell, so that maybe she could return home with a single thought. In the past, she thought that climbing and walking was exercise, so she didn't want to learn this, but now she suddenly has a sense of crisis, and feels that she must learn this first, otherwise if something happens to the old woman who leaves home, she will be in trouble.

Although she tried her best to walk carefully, she still slipped carelessly, and broke her elbow, and she didn't care about the pain, got up and walked quickly home, and finally returned home, and when she entered the door, the rain had stopped.

She didn't bother to deal with her wounds, so she washed the herbs first, and then went to the kitchen to boil the medicine.

The old woman heard her voice and said, "Xiaoxi, are you back?" ”

Chu Xiaoxi agreed and said, "Yes, mother-in-law, I'll bring the medicine in after a while." ”

The old woman said, "You can rest first, and you don't need to be in a hurry to boil the medicine." ”

Chu Xiaoxi said: "It's okay, I'm not tired." As she spoke, she had already fried the medicine.

At this time, she felt that her elbow hurt, rolled up her sleeves to look, and found that there was a large piece of skin on her arm, because her arm happened to hit a stone when she fell, but she didn't expect that it hurt to scratch a little skin, she cleaned the wound with water, and then wrapped it with a cloth.

After a while, when the medicine was ready, she poured it into a bowl and brought it to the old woman, who asked, "What did you do again?" ”

Chu Xiaoxi said: "I went out to see if I could pick some wild vegetables or something, but I didn't expect it to rain heavily suddenly." ”

The old woman said: "There are unforeseen circumstances, and you must remember to bring an umbrella next time you go out, so as not to catch a cold." ”

Chu Xiaoxi nodded and said, "I know my mother-in-law, the medicine is about to be cold, let's drink the medicine first, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”

The old woman nodded, then took the medicine bowl and tilted her head to drink it.

Chu Xiaoxi smiled with satisfaction, and then took out the bowl, and as soon as she went out, the old woman spit out the medicine in her mouth. It turned out that she just took the medicine in her throat and didn't swallow it.

She sighed, she also knew how hard Chu Xiaoxi had worked for these medicines, but she had already taken the life-sustaining pill, so she couldn't take any more medicines, otherwise she might have side effects.

Chu Xiaoxi went back to the room to change into clean clothes, and then sat down again to continue meditating, she was still a little worried about Shangguan Yun. This time, she quickly contacted Shangguan Yun, and Shangguan Yunyin said in surprise: "Xiaoxi, why are you here so early?" ”

Chu Xiaoxi said: "I wanted to communicate with you just now, but I saw that you were communicating with Feng Qicai, so I didn't bother you." ”

Shangguan Yun said: "I communicated with her in order to gain her trust, but I don't like to be like this. ”

Chu Xiaoxi nodded and said, "I understand, I don't blame you, I just hope you can be careful, because I see that she didn't put her heart into communicating with you, and she occasionally peeked at you, and I don't know what the hell she was doing." ”

Shangguan Yun said: "Don't worry, when I meditate, my ears are actually watching her movements, and what she wants to do to me will not be easy to succeed." ”

Chu Xiaoxi was relieved at this time, nodded and said, "I'll rest assured if you can be careful." I had just been in the mountains to collect medicine and it was raining heavily, but I came back safely and soundly, and nothing happened. ”

Shangguan Yun said: "You must be careful in the future, if you see that the weather is bad, don't go, in case there is a mudslide." ”

Chu Xiaoxi said: "You can rest assured, it won't." I'm going to learn the magic of teleportation so that if I encounter this situation in the future, I can get home in an instant and I don't have to trek through mountains and rivers again. ”

Shangguan Yun said, "Is there still such a spell?" After that, I also asked Feng Qicai to teach me, but I don't know if she is willing to teach or not. ”

Chu Xiaoxi said: "If she refuses to teach you, I can tell you the mantra, you can cultivate by yourself, if there is something that we can't do, we can study it together." ”
