I entered the cave of the female ghost, and met the author of this strange book in my sleep, and he explained all this to me, after all, this "Compendium of Materia Medica" introduced me to the effects of various medicinal materials, but it became three-dimensional, and I could use the medicine in it to treat myself, or even use it for my own experiments.
None of the medicinal herbs in this treasure house in my dream could only be used in my dreams and could not be brought to reality, but after I put on the Dream Fairy Pillow, I took out a pearl ring from the treasure house.
When I woke up, I got up and dressed, then fetched water to wash my face, and soon I felt hungry, so I boiled water on the stove to make fried noodles.
This small stove made of mud is very peculiar, the flames in it keep jumping, but there is no burning material, I boiled water in a small iron pot, and washed fried noodles in the enamel jar and ate it with steamed bread and hemp leaves.
Smelling the aroma of fried noodles, I heard the donkey barking, so I followed the sound and saw "Xiao Erhei" running towards me from outside the cave.
I knew it was hungry, so I took out the fried mein, sprinkled some sugar, and put it on the ground for it to enjoy.
"Xiao Erhei" cried happily, then lowered his head and licked the fried noodles, I said to myself: "You eat the same as me now, it's just the two of us here, and I don't know when Miss Yang will come back?" ”
After breakfast, when I was washing the dishes, I heard the call of Midorihime outside, and "Xiao Erhei" was also overjoyed, and immediately shouted for joy and ran towards the cave.
Putting down the enamel jar, I hurried out and came to the edge of the cliff, where Yang Luji was riding a white horse and was opposite.
Putting down the single-plank bridge, she rode her horse and galloped over, turned over and dismounted, hugged me, and said happily: "The ghost emperor gave me two days off, I will take you to play in the Xieshugou and Huangyanzegou, and the night after tomorrow, you will go with me to the ancient temple slope to meet His Royal Highness." ”
I was also very happy after hearing this, but I didn't want to go to see the Ghost Emperor, Yang Luji said mischievously: "The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, besides, you haven't seen His Royal Highness the Ghost Emperor?" ”
Midorihime let go of me, and we went back to the cave together.
When I saw the hot water boiling on the small stove, I asked her, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
She replied, "We ghosts don't need to eat, it's enough to smell the aroma, are you still used to sleeping here?" ”
I nodded in agreement and asked, "Is this your boudoir?" ”
Midorihime walked behind the wall, opened the tent, began to arrange the brocade futon, and introduced: "This is the hiding place I used to hide when I was still alive, and after I became a female ghost, I deliberately hid this place." ”
Seeing her slender back, I couldn't help but hug her from behind and asked in her ear: "It's really my honor to be able to live in your boudoir, your pillow is very comfortable, can you give it to me?" ”
Her hair was black and her neck was fair, she broke free from my hug, and said casually: "This wooden pillow was given to me by my father, if you like it, take it, I don't need it anyway!" ”
It's not good to win people's affection, and I would love to trade things for them, but I don't have anything to do now, so I have to find another way.
"I promise to go with you to meet His Royal Highness the Ghost Emperor the night after tomorrow." This is my promise, Midorihime was very happy to hear this, I saw that her eyes were a little tired, so I said, "You must be tired, why don't you rest first, and then take me around here." ”
Midorihime shook her head and said, "We ghosts don't need to rest, but I need to touch up my makeup." ”
After arranging the bedding, she went out of the room, sat down at the dresser, and began to make up, and I stood behind her, silently watching as she combed her long hair like a waterfall with a horn comb, and then tied a knot at random, and pinned the skull with it.
"Why is your hair a skeleton?" I couldn't help but ask.
Midorihime also replied casually: "This is a reward from His Royal Highness, and it is also the standard for female ghosts." ”
I saw that her earrings were also skulls, and I also saw that she had a red mole on her left shoulder, and she also saw my gaze in the mirror and immediately pulled up her collar.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, I stood opposite her and watched her touch up her makeup, but the rouge had not yet been applied to her face, and her cheeks had already grown peach blossoms.
"Don't look at it, I'll be embarrassed, you bring the basket, bring your medicine book with you, and I'll take you to collect medicine." Midorihime admonished me while applying makeup.
I was busy, turned around and went to prepare, and the dry food and water on the road were indispensable, so I poured boiling water from the iron pot into the cup.
After getting ready, Midorihime also put on her makeup, and I saw that she was wearing light makeup and changing her clothes.
Today, instead of wearing a bright red dress or down jacket, she changed into a pink winter suit, grass green winter pants, and a pair of earthy yellow sneakers.
I felt that she was a little different from before, so I asked her, "Why did you change into this outfit today?" ”
"Because I want to accompany you over the mountains and mountains and pick herbs, this kind of decoration is more convenient!" Midorihime is like an innocent girl. I sighed in my heart: "How nice it would be if you were alone!" ”
We left the cave together, she led the horse, I led the donkey, after the cliff, we walked towards the slope of the tree ditch, there are a lot of sour dates and wolfberries on the hillside, and there are still some red persimmons left on the persimmon tree.
"Persimmon kernel is also a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, which is cold, can stop bleeding and cool blood, and can also beautify and nourish the skin." I introduce.
However, the persimmons left on the branches were out of reach, which made it cheaper for the birds, and the persimmon kernels were everywhere under the trees, so we leaned over to pick some and picked sour dates and wolfberries on the hillside.
There are still Codonopsis and Huangjing on the hillside, but these two medicinal materials are scarce, under the guidance of Yang Luji, I picked two plants and carefully put them into the basket on the donkey's back.
When she finally found the ring on my hand, she grabbed my hand and asked, "Where did you get this ring, I remember you didn't wear it yesterday?" ”
I hesitated to tell her about the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and she said casually: "Since you don't want to tell me, then forget it, I know that you and I have different paths, and we are not all the way at all." ”
Seeing that she was a little misunderstood, I hurriedly explained: "No, don't think about it, this ring was obtained from the treasure house of medicinal herbs that I entered in my sleep, and I also saw your pillow in the treasure house, called the Dream Fairy Pillow." ”
At noon, we came to rest under the outrigger tree in the sloping tree ditch, and she asked me about the details of the "Compendium of Materia Medica", and I no longer hid it from her, but told the truth.
Hearing Li Shizhen's advice to me, she also nodded in agreement: "The two of us are indeed different paths, I am already a female ghost, and it is impossible to return to yang, so if you want to be with me, you must throw away your skin and become a ghost." ”
I confessed: "It's not that I don't want to be with you, it's that I really can't rest assured of my family, and if I die, my parents will be very sad, and they may not be able to live." ”
Midorihime nodded and said, "I can understand, after all, I have also been a ghost for a thousand years, and I have experienced too many life and death, and some parents will be in pain when they lose their children." ”
"You really can't pay it back anymore?" I am not willing to make a final inquiry.
Midorihime's answer was yes, "I am able to be with you now, but I borrowed someone else's body, so there is a difference between the body you see me and the first time you see me, and I can't have a relationship with you because it's someone else's body." ”
