Three days later

Chu Qianzhong came to Baodan Pavilion as promised.

However, Pharmacist Sun, who took the initiative to greet him, suddenly told him that Master Teng had gone out, and then, quite mysteriously, he took Chu Qianzhong to the back hall of Baodan Pavilion.

"Young Master Chu, through this corridor, you can reach the courtyard where Master Teng lives."

Leading Chu Qianzhong in the courtyard of the back hall of Baodan Pavilion, after turning around for a while, Pharmacist Sun pointed to the corridor in front of him, and explained to Chu Qianzhong in a deep voice full of flattery

"Pharmacist Sun, didn't you say before that Master Teng went out?"

Hearing that Pharmacist Sun said that the courtyard in front of him belonged to the red-faced old man, Chu Qianzhong was very puzzled and asked Pharmacist Sun

"Yes, Master Vine did go out, but another distinguished guest who came to Baodan Pavilion with Master Vine was still in the courtyard."

"And what you want, it's in her hands"

With an inexplicable smile, Pharmacist Sun replied to Chu Qianzhong without hurry. And Chu Qianzhong, who heard that Pharmacist Sun was deliberately selling Guanzi, knew that he would definitely not be able to ask anything if he continued to ask Pharmacist Sun, but after muttering for a while, he didn't bother to ask any more.

Just followed the pace of Pharmacist Sun and continued to walk towards the courtyard where the red-faced old man lived.

"Young Master Chu, it's here"

"Sun can only send you here"

After walking to the entrance of the other courtyard, Sun Yaoshi suddenly stopped his steps, turned around, and said to Chu Qianzhong with a slight apology

"Then there is a pharmacist of Laosun"

After arching his hand and bowing to Pharmacist Sun, Chu Qianzhong took the same step and stepped into the courtyard in front of him at the same time as Pharmacist Sun walked away.

The area of this annex is not large, and the furnishings are very simple, except for a few old locust trees in the courtyard, there are almost no other decorative things.

However, because the annex is located at the back of the back hall of Baodan Pavilion, it is very quiet. Therefore, it is also very suitable for those who like to live quietly.

"Anyone"

After entering the courtyard, Chu Qian raised his eyes and found that the courtyards of the three-courtyard pattern were all wide open, but he did not see any shadows. As a last resort, Chu Qianzhong could only shout loudly.

However, as soon as Chu Qianzhong's words fell, a woman's exclamation came into Chu Qianzhong's ears immediately

"Alas... ”

Turning around, Chu Qianzhong found that under the ancient tree in the northwest corner of the courtyard, there was a girl in a green dress, half-lying in the dirt.

"Miss, are you alright?"

Quickly trotting to the girl's approach, Chu Qianzhong asked the girl with concern

"You... You're Big Brother Chu, right?"

"I... My name is Mu Bottle, and Grandpa Teng exchanged the Blood Pill with you, just in exchange for giving it to me."

Hurriedly getting up from the ground, the girl in her early fourteens responded to Chu Qianzhong with a blush on her face.

"It turned out to be Miss Bottle, fortunately, fortunately... ”

After bowing his hand, Chu Qianzhong said casually

"Where, it is the blessing of fate for the bottle to meet Brother Chu"

"If it weren't for Brother Chu's Blood Transformation Pill, the bottle might still be able to lie on the bed now."

After also bowing to Chu Qian, Mu Bottler replied crisply

"Miss Bottle, why did you fall to the ground just now?"

Chu Qianzhong, who didn't know how to answer for a while, asked casually. Hearing Chu Qianzhong's question, Mu Bottle'er's face, which had just returned to its normal color, was flushed again

"The bottle has just ... Just sneaked up the tree."

"When I came down, I suddenly heard Brother Chu's call, so... So ... ”

Mu Bottler explained to Chu Qianzhong hesitantly, but as he spoke, only he could hear his voice.

The face couldn't help twitching, it was hard to imagine that a well-behaved and quiet girl like Mu Bei'er would secretly climb a tree, Chu Qianzhong, was stunned for a while, and then said in a trembling voice

"Miss Bottle... You... Why did you climb the tree?"

"Bottle wants to look outside"

"Because, if you don't take the opportunity to look at it more, maybe after the bottle, you won't have a chance to see it again"

After forcibly squeezing out a smile, Mu Bottler said in a flat tone. And hearing Mu Bottle's answer, Chu Qianzhong didn't know why, but suddenly gave birth to an impulse to hold Mu Bottle, who was thin and as if a gust of wind could blow it down, and to pity and comfort him in his arms.

After a pause and forcibly suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Chu Qianzhong was puzzled

"Miss Bottle, you... The hidden disease in your body, is it that even Master Fuji can't do anything about it?"

Although Mu Bottler did not say in detail that her days were numbered, Chu Qianzhong basically guessed that Mu Bottler must be suffering from some kind of terminal illness.

"Grandpa Fuji has the ability to treat my illness. It's just that he can't find the main medicine for me to make alchemy."

"Therefore, over the years, the bottle can only rely on other pills that replenish vitality and blood."

"It's just that, due to the special physique of the bottle, it will last for more than a year, and when the bottle reaches the age of sixteen, it is estimated that the limit will come."

Speaking of this, Mu Bei'er couldn't help but look dark, but soon, she adjusted her mood and said with a smile

"Oops... Brother Chu, let's stop talking about these unhappy things."

"Grandpa Fuji went out today, and I had the opportunity to secretly move around. ”

"I made pastries, come and taste them"

Saying that, Mu Bei'er didn't give Chu Qianzhong a chance to refuse, so he pulled Chu Qianzhong and trotted to the living room

“。。。 ”

"How is it, Brother Chu, is it delicious?"

When Chu Qianzhong ate the pastries he made into his mouth, Mu Bottler couldn't wait to ask Chu Qianzhong for his opinion for the first time.

"Hmmm... Delicious... It was so delicious."

After taking a bite, Chu Qianzhong, who was instantly conquered by the taste of the pastry, responded to Mu Bottler inarticulately

"Gurgle. It seems that Grandpa Fuji really didn't lie to me"

"I thought he was just making me happy when he said my pastries were delicious."

Hearing Chu Qianzhong praise the deliciousness of his pastries, Mu Bottler smiled happily.

"Miss Bottle... ”

"Brother Chu, you... You're going to call me a bottle from now on, okay?"

"Also... Also become"

"Bottle, you better give me the Mixed Yuan One Qi Pill first, my friend is now in a state of serious injury and coma, although he is supported by Master Teng's Jade Toad Pill, but I think it's better to give him the Mixed Yuan One Qi Pill as soon as possible."

After eating a few more pastries, Chu Qianzhong, who felt that he had been delayed for too long, looked at Mu Bottler and said

"Ahh It's all bad bottles, I almost forgot to get down to business."

"Whew... ”

With a flash of light in his hand, a bulging storage bag specially used to store Yuan Shi and a jade bottle appeared on the square table where Chu Qianzhong was on his side in an instant.

"Brother Chu, you. . . YOUR FRIEND ... Be... Is it someone who is important to you?"

When Chu Qianzhong put away the storage bag and the jade bottle, Mu Bottler suddenly asked with a little desire to say something

"Bottle, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

With his eyes wide, Chu Qianzhong was very puzzled and asked Mu Bei'er rhetorically

"No... Nothing, it's just ... I just think that Brother Chu, you seem to care about him very much. So.. So I'm curious."

Hearing Chu Qianzhong's rhetorical question, he suddenly realized his problem, and Mu Bottle, who was a little rude, said with a slightly red face

"I see... My friend is to me ... In fact... In fact, it's just a meeting in the water."

"It's just that, to some extent, he saved my life unintentionally, so I tried my best to heal him."

With a faint smile, Chu Qianzhong replied casually

"I see... ”

"Then Brother Chu, you really value love and righteousness."

After a long sigh, Mu Bottler complimented Chu Qianzhong with a bit of fun

"Hehe, barely counted."

"Bottle, it's not early, I'll go back first"

With a chuckle, Chu Qianzhong suddenly stood up and said goodbye to Mu Bottle.

And although Chu Qianzhong had already prepared that it would be impossible to stay for a long time, Mu Bottle, who rarely had the opportunity to communicate with others, still showed a strong reluctance in an instant.

"Brother Chu... You... Can you still come and talk to the bottle tomorrow?"

After hesitating for a while, Mu Bei'er finally mustered up the courage and said this reluctant request to Chu Qianzhong.

"Tomorrow? I'm fine... It's just that Master Fuji may not agree."

Moaning, Chu Qianzhong said with a bit of temptation

"Don't worry, Grandpa Fuji will go out this time, it will take a few days."

"So, if you don't say it, if I don't say it, he won't know"

Seeing that Chu Qianzhong did not refuse, Mu Bottler replied to Chu Qianzhong almost impatiently

"That... All right... But when is the right time for me to come to you?"

"Anytime ... All.. Everything."

After blurting out an affirmative answer, he realized his words in an instant, and Mu Bottle, who was a little out of shape. Instinctively, on top of the pretty face, there was a seductive flush.

"That... Well, if I don't have anything else to do tomorrow, I'll come to Baodan Pavilion to find you before noon."

"Well, let's pull the hook hook then. ”

As he spoke, Mu Bottler stretched out his little hand suddenly, for fear that Chu Qianzhong would refuse, and took the initiative to hook Chu Qianzhong's finger with his little thumb.

"Hanging on the hook, it will not change for a hundred years"

"Giggles... ”

After speaking, Mu Bottler laughed happily.

And Jing watched Mu Bottle's childish behavior. An indescribable emotion erupted like a volcano in an instant, and it suddenly rose unstoppably in Chu Qianzhong's heart.
