Chapter 346: Sister-in-law's Birthday Present
Rushing home at night, it was inevitable to be questioned for a while, but fortunately, after the last conversation, now the second elder is not too worried about me, otherwise, it is estimated that he will have to explain a lot.
It's dark and fine, wash and get ready for bed, practice before going to bed, and cultivate the spirit buds with Yun Qingyue, and then fall asleep peacefully.
When I woke up, it was dawn, my parents had already made breakfast, and after eating, I took out my textbook and prepared to review my homework.
In the process of reading the book, I always felt that something was missing, and then at noon, I suddenly remembered what was going on.
Bai Xinghua, she seems to have left home last time to take refuge, and now seven days have passed, I don't know if she has come back.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly grabbed a few bites of lunch, and then raised my feet and walked out.
"Trace, where are you going?" When my mom saw me busy, she stopped me and asked.
"I'm going to see my sister-in-law Bai," I didn't shy away from it, and directly said where I went.
Hearing my words, my parents were displeased, and said to me together, "See what she does?" You're thinking about her like that? ”
"You don't have to worry about these things, don't worry, I have my own measure, Sister-in-law Bai is a serious person, don't think about it," I finished speaking, turned around and left.
Seeing my actions, my parents could only sigh helplessly and didn't say anything more.
I'm happy with that, at least they've learned to let go, and that's a good sign.
Running all the way, I soon came to the door of Bai Xinghua's house, raised my eyes to take a look, and found that the door was not locked, which couldn't help but make me feel excited, knowing that Bai Xinghua had returned.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law!"
I pushed the door open and entered, shouting at the white apricot blossoms.
"A trace?"
Bai Xinghua was cooking in the pot house, and when she heard my voice, she walked out.
"Sister-in-law, are you back? Are you all right? I ran up to her and looked at her excitedly, feeling a little at a loss for a moment.
"It's okay, what can sister-in-law do?" Bai Xinghua smiled, turned around and walked into the pot house, and said to me, "Have you eaten lunch?" I'm just cooking, so let's eat it later. ”
"No," I replied, following her into the pot house, and sitting down on the haystack.
"You haven't wiped the oil flowers off the corners of your mouth, and you said that you didn't eat it, I found that your kid is becoming more and more insincere," Bai Xinghua glanced at me, her tone was reproachful, but her face was full of smiles.
I smiled, a little embarrassed, quickly wiped the corners of my mouth, looked at her and said, "Sister-in-law, what happened a few days ago?" Can you tell me about it? ”
"I can't tell you yet," Bai Xinghua smiled, and then said to me: "By the way, I have to go out in a few days, and it may take a while to come back." It's your birthday in three days, I'll give you a little advance today, there are no other gifts, a bowl of longevity noodles, it's my heart. ”
"Ah, is my birthday so soon?" Being reminded by her of this, I realized that time had inadvertently slipped away a lot, and my birthday was here again, and after this birthday, I would be fourteen years old.
It's very strange that Bai Xinghua's meal at noon today happens to be noodles, and she seems to have calculated that I will come.
After a while, the meal was ready, and we went into the hall and sat down to eat.
At the time of eating, I asked Bai Xinghua why she had to go far away.
She didn't answer me, just looked me up and down and said, "A strange thing happened a few days ago, and although it's okay now, my sister-in-law can't help but take precautions early." ”
I knew she was talking about the Gu Cultivation Technique, but I pretended not to know on the surface, nodded and said, "Is there any danger?" If so, just tell me and I can help you. ”
"No, it's not dangerous yet," she smiled, watching me finish the noodles in the bowl, but then got up and walked to the back room, and said to me, "Wait a minute, sister-in-law has something for you." ”
"And gifts? Didn't you say just a bowl of longevity noodles? I asked, somewhat gratified.
"What about teasing you, is my sister-in-law such a stingy person?" Bai Xinghua smiled, her expression was mellow and moving, she was obviously a widowed young woman, but she revealed the cute taste of a girl.
"What kind of baby?"
After a while, I saw the white apricot blossom coming out of the back room, so I greeted it.
She smiled, raised her hand to comb the broken hair next to her ear, looked a little shy, and after a while, she handed me a small sachet with some hesitation and said: "This is my own embroidery, and there is some wormwood in it, if you wear it for a long time, you can get rid of mosquitoes." ”
I took the wormwood sachet over, looked at it, and found that it was blue-black, with strange runes sniffing with gold threads on it, and a silver-red spike at the bottom, as a whole, it was very delicate and delicate, so I couldn't help but like it, and quickly hung the sachet on the belt, and then turned around, looked at the white apricot blossom and said, "Is it wearing it like this?" ”
"It was like this in ancient times, and if you wear it like this now, you will be laughed to death, you can tie it to the keychain," Bai Xinghua said to me.
"Okay, then I'll hang it on the keychain, thank you sister-in-law," I picked up the sachet and put it in front of my nose to sniff it carefully, and soon realized that the scent was not only the scent of wormwood, but also the white apricot blossom that had added something to it.
I carefully recalled the contents of the Gu cultivation technique, and soon understood the true effect of this sachet.
This is a Gu Repellent Sachet, and if nothing else, it should be mixed with a substance called "Gu Repellent Incense".
According to the above records of Gu cultivation, the so-called Gu repellent incense is actually not a specific spice, and its main material is actually the corpse of a Gu worm. Generally speaking, to make this spice, it is to fry ordinary spices and Gu worms together, fry them dry, and then crush them to make Gu incense.
And the principle of Gu repellent used in this Gu incense is also very simple, that is, to use the smell of Gu worm corpses to scare those Gu worms who want to attack themselves.
You must know that Gu insects are all very intelligent, if they smell the corpse of the same kind before attacking, and know that the object they are about to attack has the ability to destroy Gu, then they will naturally be deterred and dare not attack this person again.
Of course, because of these reasons, the Gu Repellent Incense also had some flaws, that is, it could only drive away some Gu worms that were of the same level as the dead Gu worms, or lower grades.
I don't know what the grade of this Gu repellent incense that Bai Xinghua gave me is, but it shouldn't be too low.
Of course, at this time, what I really care about is not actually the matter of driving Gu incense, the question I am concerned about is, where did Bai Xinghua get the corpse of the Gu worm?
Could it be that she killed the Gu worms she raised?
