Chapter 4 Stubbornness

Knotweed led me to the right side of the thatched hall, where a dozen "people" sat silently.

These people were on a low stool, with a stone pot in front of them, and a stone hammer in their hands, looking at me with a slight doubt in their eyes.

It's no wonder that when I look at this row of seats, all of them are men.

It seems that Long Xuanling deliberately wanted to fix me and wanted me to submit to him obediently.

"These medicines need to be ground into powder, and each person has a basket of portions a day." Knotweed said, pointing to a bamboo basket about a meter high on the side.

When I looked at it, I couldn't help but be stunned, so much, I still have to grind it into powder?

"Hurry up, don't waste time." After saying that, Knotweed pointed to the last position, motioned for me to go there to grind, and then went out myself.

I leaned over these people who worked with me and introduced myself, but these people directly lowered their heads and continued to gently beat the medicinal herbs, no one paid attention to me at all, I could only silently walk in the position, take out the medicinal materials in the bamboo basket opposite and prepare to beat them.

But when I grabbed the stone hammer, I found that the hammer was too heavy, heavier than the bow and crossbow of the Deepavali Pavilion, and I used all my strength to barely lift the stone hammer with both hands.

I'm afraid I won't be able to do this job, but after thinking about what Long Xuanling said, if I can't do this job, then I will have to be at his mercy in the future.

So, he grabbed the stone hammer fiercely and hammered it hard at the roots of those medicinal herbs.

Others have great strength, and they can be powdered after a few strokes, but I can't, I worked hard, and I didn't even eat lunch and dinner, but I barely beat half a basket.

"Master, the little one will help you."

By this time, the people who had been working with me had gone, and I guessed that it was already dark and late at night, based on the time outside.

"No, you don't." I said stubbornly.

"Eh, master, why are you doing this? Isn't it good to watch the dance with Long Jun and listen to the music? Does it have to be like this? Lingwu paused as he spoke, and when he saw that I was so stubborn, he didn't dare to come over and intervene, so he stood aside and guarded me.

But even so, when those people came to work again, there was still a small part of my basket of medicinal herbs.

Knotweed didn't care about that, and gave me a basket for today.

I gritted my teeth and continued, and the people next to me looked at me, their eyes changing slightly, but they still didn't say anything.

Lingwu couldn't stand it anymore, and asked me to go to the dining hall next door to eat something first, but I shook my head and refused.

"Master, if you don't eat, where do you get the strength? Eat as much as you want. Lingwu lowered his voice and persuaded me.

I stubbornly thrashed the herb and ignored it, and it watched as I flapped its wings and turned out of the pharmacy while I continued to work hard.

During the period, I was really hungry and couldn't stand it, so I drank some porridge, so day and night, I finally beat two baskets, and the people around me who worked with me had already made four baskets.

Knotweed didn't give me any more herbs, and I was about to get it myself, when I heard a very soft voice suddenly sound.

"Luo Anzhi, come here."

I raised my head to look for prestige, and saw a very smart-looking girl standing at the threshold of the pharmacy, and I had been here for a few days, and I knew that this girl's name was Shisu, and it seemed that she had been following Yun Niang.

"Here we are." I hurriedly got up, but suddenly it was dark in front of me, and I felt extremely dizzy.

His body shook for a moment, and he immediately blinked his eyes, and then walked towards the shiso girl.

"Yun Niang asked you to go back and rest." Shiso said to me.

"How's that going to work, those herbs?" I'm slow enough, how can I rest?

"Look at yourself, how do you live with such a bad complexion? Go back, Yun Niang asked me to give you this revitalizing oil, go and rest, and come back in a few days. As she spoke, she sent me to the door of the cottage.

Outside the door, Lingwu is already waiting here, and I don't shirk anymore, my body knows that what has supported me these days is my stubbornness, I don't want to be looked down upon by Long Xuanling, so I've been working hard.

If Miss Shiso hadn't asked me to go back today, I guess it wouldn't be long before I fainted in the pharmacy.

Lingwu took me back to my room, and after coming in, Lingwu said that he would prepare some hot water for me to wash up, and get some food, and I would lie on the bed and fall asleep.

In a daze, as if I still heard it, Long Xuanling said that I was stubborn.

I didn't know how long I slept so groggily, and when I woke up, I wanted to get up and go to the cottage immediately, but my arm couldn't move.

"Eh, master, don't move, you've been beating herbs for the past few days, and you've strained your bones, so you have to wipe it well with this activating oil." As soon as Lingwu's words fell, I saw a tall cyan figure walk in from outside.

"Benjun help her wipe it!" Long Xuanling said, directly took the activation oil in Lingwu's hand, and walked to the edge of the bed.

He looked at me condescendingly, his eyes a little cold, as if he was still angry.

It was a long time before he sat down on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hand to help me to my feet.

"Do you want to continue going to the cottage?" He uncorked the oil, poured it into his palm, rubbed it warm, and then rolled up my sleeve and rubbed it on my arm.

"Huh!"

He used so much force that my tears almost came down when I rubbed it like this.

Long Xuanling's strength did not decrease, and he said in a deep voice: "Just endure the pain, if you don't rub it hard, it won't get better." ”

He continued to rub it for me gloomily, and after a long time, my arms were numb from pain, so he asked Lingwu to bring a bottle of medicinal oil for external injuries and smear the blood on my palms.

These bloody cuts are all because the palms of the hands are blistered and worn out, and they become like this over and over again.

Long Xuanling was smeared with medicine, and inexplicably started a fire.

got up and threw up his sleeves and left, I looked at his departing back in a daze, a little confused, he was still angry? I'm the one who should be angry, right?

He was clearly deliberately making things difficult for me, and now that his goal has been achieved, he should be happy and proud, but he still lost his temper.

"Master, Long Jun feels sorry for you." Lingwu said in a low voice on the side.

"No way, how could he feel sorry for me." I looked at the blood in my hand, and it was all thanks to him.

"Hey, this dragon monarch is arrogant, you always screw him like this, he also wants to make you soft." Lingwu said that, he had already brought a bowl of porridge and fed me to drink.

I fell asleep again after drinking the porridge, and the next morning I asked Lingwu to take me to work in the grass hall when my arm was about to lift a little, and Lingwu knew that I was stubborn, and he no longer persuaded him.
