Chapter 11: Spells Lost
As he spoke, the two of them walked to the end of the alley, where a simple farmhouse sat in front of them, and bushes of fairy plants and spiritual grass stretched and grew in the courtyard under the eaves, and the overflowing vitality was completely different from the poor life of the people.
"Why are there so many fairy grasses here? It's really as beautiful as Aotian Pavilion......" The same greenery reminded her of the thousand-year-old banyan tree in Aotian Pavilion and the lively horse, I don't know if Zhuohua has a good life like them, and what is Zhuohua doing now. Thinking of this, Shu Qing couldn't help but think a thousand times full of sadness, her nose was slightly sore, so she raised her hand and casually wiped the snot on the tip of her nose, and looked around to hide her already sad face.
"Auror? It must be the girl's hometown. How dare I compare this cold house, it's just that I prefer to study herbs to heal diseases and animals, so I will find mountains and rivers and plant them all over the courtyard, so that the girl can smile. The divine doctor crane quinoa looked ashamed and hurriedly looked at Shu Qing.
"Back for dinner? Bastard boy! The silence was broken by a vicious shout from the farmhouse.
Crane Quinoa suddenly looked embarrassed, and the appearance of crawling ears and cheeks had lost his gentle and elegant demeanor, and he opened the door with a wry smile and trembling.
"Where are you going to treat people again, just give me a patch of medicine and send me this old woman to drive to the west......" Before the words fell, the old woman who was still menacing in front of the stove just now was so frightened that the rice spoon dropped, and she changed her face, and slowly smiled between her eyebrows.
"Oh, this little girl is so handsome! Apricot pink del. It's my grandson's favorite girl, and this kid is the first time I've been going back to ......."
The crane was crimson, choking out as if someone had stuffed a big steamed bun, patted his chest and pretended to be calm and interrupted: "Grandmother! Grandmother...... Ahem, this kind girl just accidentally spilled my soup and came here for me. What do you say about this Rausch. ”
"Huh? Decoctions? The old woman's face was full of doubts, her eyes flickered, and she had a flash of inspiration, and she returned to the kind appearance she had just had. Anyway, it's a guest, so come in! It's still late, so why don't you stay in my humble house and have a feast with us. ”
Shu Qing waved her hand and thanked her, her apricot eyes were wide, her eyebrows were slightly frowned, her head shook like a rattle, and her heart was already turbulent. I heard that on that day, the plain-clothed immortals fell asleep for ten days by mistake, and the immortals all said that all food was poison, and Shu Qing, who had only been cultivating for a few years, would not be able to die if he swallowed this mouthful. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and hurriedly refused.
"Huh? Old woman, don't you know, I only eat that elixir and jade dew, and I am afraid that I will not be blessed with such delicacies......"
"Only the gods eat the tasteless elixir and jade dew, how can you be a girl...... Could it be that I dislike the food in my humble house, the color is like ochre, and the smell is like swill? The old man's craftsmanship is vulgar, and he is so bad that the girl would rather drink dew than drink a banquet......" The old woman covered her sleeves and wiped her tears, sighed in the depths of her love, and leaned on the snow sideburns and frost mustache, which made people feel distressed.
"Grandmother, Miss Lin also has a family member who asks her to return home to eat together, it's not that she doesn't like the food is delicious, so don't embarrass others anymore." Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, Crane Quinoa stood up, supported her grandmother to smooth her back, and said with relief.
"I ...... I don't have a home to go, and my father ...... too" The girl stood alone at the door, the cool breeze soaked the powder, the lingering sand and dust played with the Luo skirt that drifted in the wind, the difference was that the warm and comfortable candlelight in the house shone on the grandparents and grandchildren who were snuggling up to each other, the smoke of the freshly cooked hot food on the stove curled, the neat bed, the dust and brooms piled up in the corners seemed to have just been cleaned up, a stove and a stack of beds and a medicine cabinet, the small farmhouse was full of the simple beauty of home, and where was her home.
The old woman draped a cotton wool robe for her, wrapped her withered heart, put her hot hands on her cold shoulders, and took her into her arms in distress. "How can you wear such a thin dress, the old woman was just joking with you, come in quickly, don't you still want to decoct the medicine?"
Following the footsteps of her mother-in-law, Shu Qing stepped across the threshold and walked into the warm house, her whole body seemed to lie in the cotton wool, and a comfortable warm current embraced her.
"Stinky boy! Why don't you help Miss Lin clean up the medicinal herbs, and then help me tidy up the dishes and chopsticks when the soup is decocted. The old woman came in with Shu Qing in her arms and pointed to the crane quinoa and commanded.
The crane quinoa, who looked at her grandmother's frowning eyes, suddenly understood something. Walked quickly to the medicine cabinet, skillfully took out a few medicinal herbs in the drawer, picked up a piece of reed paper and padd it underneath, and carefully placed it on the small stove.
"First of all, the three money thatch roots, two taels of poison powder, a bowl of water decoction is acceptable, and then the four skullcap, ginseng, talc, bellflower, and atractylodes are placed in the decoction at the end. I put it in order from left to right, and I must boil it slowly on low heat, if the fire is too large or the water temperature is too low, it will lose the effect of phlegm and cure deficiency, and it will make Miss Lin tired. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, how can such a trivial matter as decoction be difficult for me?" Shu Qing was stunned when she heard this, but she still scratched her head and blinked her eyes.
"Then there's Miss Lao." The old woman bent down and picked up the cane, and before she could finish speaking, she picked up the wooden crutches and beat her grandson. "Crane Quinoa quickly help Grandmother wipe the table with a linen cloth and tidy up the dinner! Are you still stupidly waiting for the old decay to feed you to your mouth? ”
"Yes......" Crane Quinoa should arrive, and hugged his fist at Shu Qing, "Miss Lin, I won't bother you." With that, he took the sackcloth and left.
Only Shu Qing was left alone to face this mess.
In the past 20 years, I have only learned to sprinkle and roll around and play with the gods, and it is not good to practice alchemy and spiritual cultivation, but I still know a thing or two about immortal arts, how can a little soup be a fairy?
Thinking of this, he smiled, bent his eyebrows and greeted the breeze, and the two springs carried the stars. Looking at the stove that was still not improving, she raised two fingers and gently swept the abdomen of her right fingers, and with a bang, it should have been a spark to ignite the soup, and then fixed her eyes to see if the medicine stove had not caught fire yet?
The puzzled faces were gloomy, as if a rainstorm was coming. Her fingertips rubbed her fingertips a little harder again, and the cold stove was still intact! Rubbed and rubbed again, and repeated the same back and forth spells, but the stove was like opening its mouth and laughing at her, and it didn't move.
"What's going on? It should be the recent negligent revision of the law, it should be! Her heart raced, and she kept comforting herself, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her hands continued to repeat the spell in disobedience.
Crane Quinoa, who had sorted out the dishes and chopsticks, walked over and looked at the dazed Shu Qing in surprise as he rubbed his little hands and sweated profusely. "Miss Lin, are you going to drill for fire? It's not like that, let me do it. It's getting late, so if you don't mind, stay overnight. ”
"Yes, yes, although my humble house is not as good as a pavilion, there is still a place to rest. Miss Lin, the old body is all on the table for you, so don't shirk it. ”
The old woman looked at Shu Qing amiably, her kind smile was like an old man Wen who was shushing all day long, she couldn't bear to refuse anymore, so she took off her naked body and collapsed.
"Come, try the old body's specialty fish soup, warm up first. If it doesn't suit the girl's appetite, if it doesn't go well, please forgive the girl. ”
A bowl of steaming fish soup is presented in front of you, the soup is as white as jade, the color is warm and mellow, the taste is mellow and fragrant, a few drifts of thin fish oil are like it, and the snow-white fish pieces are exposed in the rich soup water as if they are bathing in the beauty of the bath. Looking at it, Shu Qing couldn't help swallowing her saliva, but the waves were not settled, and the waves rose again and again, and her stomach suddenly gurgled and screamed, and she was so frightened that she covered her stomach.
What's going on? Obviously from a god, how can he covet this mundane thing?
The mother-in-law handed over the delicious food, and Shu Qing's eyes were straight up. "The girl seems to be hungry, so let's take a sip."
"Thank you, mother-in-law, then I'm welcome." She also ignored the horrific rumors, and the Gu Rong Yulu, who was usually intoxicated, also became bland in comparison to this bowl of fish soup. Linglong's eyes shone with a different kind of luster, the tip of his restless tongue lightly touched his lips, and he picked up the porcelain bowl and opened his mouth to swallow it.
