Chapter 162: Hidden Strength
At night, when the fireplace was lit and the room was warmed up, Master told us to clean up briefly and take a break.
The thought of going to Snake Valley Town tomorrow to kill the evil god made me extremely nervous, and I couldn't sleep.
Occasionally, someone would get up at night and go out, and every time the door was opened, the noise on the door shaft would make my mind more and more irritable.
My concentration can be used in many places, but I can't sleep with it.
The more you focus on sleeping, the more you worry that you won't be able to sleep, and the more you won't be able to sleep.
I have heard a joke before, that is, one day Zhang Fei asked Guan Erye, second brother, you said that when you sleep at night, whether the beard is placed outside the quilt or in the quilt, Guan Erye has never thought about this before, Zhang Fei asked this, and he fell into his heart, when he went to bed that night, he always thought about whether the beard should be placed outside the quilt or covered in the quilt, but he found that it was not comfortable to put it outside the quilt, and it was uncomfortable to be covered in the quilt, and he was stunned all night and did not fall asleep.
I'm in a similar situation now, I have been tossing and turning for a long time, deliberately not thinking about the toad god, and the picture of it will automatically appear in my mind, and if I think about it deliberately, I will not be able to sleep.
In the second half of the night, the more sleepy I was, and then I was so annoyed that I put on a coat and went outside the house to breathe.
As soon as I went out, I saw Gu Jianping standing in an open space opposite the door, there was still drizzle in the sky, but the moonlight was still bright, and Gu Jianping was holding a porcelain bottle in his hand at this time, collecting the water on the leaves in an old-fashioned manner.
I used to only think that Gu Jianping was born to be a tease, and I had never seen him so focused as he is now, so I didn't make a sound, just chatted and looked at him with interest.
He walked to a tree, gently bent the branch, and then stretched out his little finger, wiped it on the leaves, and the water on the leaves flowed into the mouth of the bottle.
When the bottle was full of water, he put some unrecognizable powder into the mouth of the bottle, and then picked up the bottle and slowly shook it.
Looking at his way of shaking the porcelain vase, it seems that he is also quite particular, the gesture is light and slow, every three times, he has to put the bottle to his ear, as if listening to the movement inside.
This process was repeated seven or eight times, and finally he quickly uncorked the bottle, poured out half of the bottle mixed with powder, and then quickly plugged the cap of the bottle and stuffed the bottle into his arms, as if trying to heat the water inside with his own body heat.
It wasn't until Gu Jianping turned around and walked towards the house that he found me standing at the door.
He suddenly panicked: "When did you come out?" ”
"It's been a while, what are you busy with?"
Gu Jianping hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Didn't I see that you couldn't fall asleep all the time, so I wanted to adjust some soothing medicine to help you fall asleep." However, I have never adjusted this medicine before, so I don't know if it works. ”
"Brother Ping, you said, we've known each other for a short time, why haven't I heard you say that you are a doctor before? Are you deliberately hiding it, or what? ”
"I didn't hide it, I didn't hide it. Hey, with my medical skills, it's a bit insulting to say it, so I'm not embarrassed to say it. ”
He didn't want to talk to me deeply, so he said a few words and leaned into the room.
I wondered what he was going to do next, so I followed.
Gu Jianping walked to the fireplace, the fire in the stove had long been extinguished, but the leftover firewood was still some warm, and some of the firewood was still shining red, he took out the bottle in his arms, held it in his hand, and whispered to me: "You lie down first." ”
I wondered, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Don't ask, you lie down first."
Listening to his questioning tone, I didn't delay, and immediately got into the sleeping bag, but my eyes were still fixed on Gu Jianping in front of the fireplace.
After Gu Jianping warmed the bottle, he opened the cap and sprinkled the potion inside on Chai He.
First, I heard a sharp sound of "snort" when the water touched the firewood, and then a faint fragrance echoed in the room.
It tasted a bit like alabaster, mixed with a bit of bitterness.
Then Gu Jianping also quickly got into his sleeping bag, I wanted to ask him what kind of medicine he had just sprinkled, what was the fragrance that echoed in the air, how could I smell it, my head was dizzy, I just wanted to close my eyes and sleep quickly, and I felt it was difficult to speak.
Before I entered the dream, I also heard the snoring sound from Lu Shengcai's side.
It seems that Lu Shengcai, like me, has not been able to sleep before.
I slept very deeply, and it was not until the next morning, when the sun was shining through the window on the dining table, that Master woke me up.
I looked at the time, it was eight o'clock in the morning, if I remember correctly, I should have fallen asleep at nearly four o'clock last night, but the short four hours of sleep had lifted my spirits, and the fatigue caused by the previous rush had disappeared.
At this time, Qiao Sanye was talking to Gu Jianping: "What kind of medicine did you sprinkle last night, it really works, I haven't slept so well for many years." Oh, the South China Sea medical pulse is worthy of its name! ”
It turned out that Qiao Sanye didn't sleep well in the first half of the night.
For this, Gu Jianping just responded very shyly: "The work of raising your hands, the work of raising your hands." ”
Saying that his medical skills are not refined, and what he is not sure whether the medicine he prepared has any effect, his medical skills are obviously very superb, and the medicine he dispenses also clearly has unexpected miraculous effects.
Gu Jianping, you are hiding deep enough!
But I'm not going to expose him now, after all, who doesn't have his own little secrets, and the reason why he hides it so much may have his own troubles.
Just like me, don't you have to hide your cultivation in school, I don't want to hide it, but I can't hide it.
After breakfast, I packed up our things and headed for the mountains, the master had to wait until noon, and then took Lu Shengcai and Yunshang to chase us, originally too old to let Lu Shengcai and Yunshang go together, but the two of them were so desperate, if they didn't let them go, they would die or live, in desperation, the master could only promise to take them on the road later, to meet their wishes, and to come, but also for fear that they would disrupt the old man's plan of action.
Before leaving, Gu Jianping suddenly chased out of the house and stuffed a packet of medicinal powder into my hand: "This is the antidote I have developed for the iron corpse poison over the years, although it still can't resist the toxicity of the iron corpse poison, but it can be regarded as the cure for all poisons in the world, if you encounter danger, take it as soon as possible, you can save your life." ”
