Chapter 53: Penglai Medicine
A lunch, which was neither hearty nor modest, ended in an atmosphere of 'food without sleeping'.
After that, Huiyin asked Mei Hong to clean up the dishes, and she made two cups of tea and sat opposite Su Mu.
She brought one of the cups to Su Mu, and then said with a smile: "I usually hear Mei Hong say that Mr. Su Mu will give her a reward when she asks her to help, so I always thought that you were an old-fashioned magician who paid attention to equivalent exchange in everything. ”
Traditional?
The corners of Su Mu's mouth twitched, and it was really complicated to be said by this old-fashioned educator to be 'old-fashioned'.
But he wasn't ready to complain, but asked, "What about now?" ”
"Now, I think the reason why you did this is probably because you know Mei Hong, right?" Huiyin said.
"Oh?" Su Mu was slightly stunned.
"Well~ Although I have walked into the inner room just now, I also know what happened outside."
Huiyin smiled slightly and said, "How can someone who can be so gentle with that kid Qiluno be those old-fashioned magicians who only have knowledge and truth in their eyes. ”
Is it because (9) it has no use value?
Su Mu laughed, then shook his head and said, "You say I'm gentle, probably because I don't know whose handwriting is the graffiti on her face, right?" ”
However, after hearing his words, Huiyin giggled: "If you can take revenge on that child with such a prank, it will show that you have a good heart." After all, even if you don't have to look at it, I know that the reason why you did such a thing must be because she took the initiative to attack you, right? ”
Su Mu: "......" He was a little speechless for a while.
"Let's get down to business, then."
Huiyin looked at Su Mu's choked expression, smiled slightly and said, "The reason why I invited Mr. Su Mu over today is that in addition to really wanting to express my gratitude, I also want to confirm what kind of person Meihong's new friend is. ”
This is a proper parental mentality, right? It seems that Meihong's lily road has a long way to go.
Su Muqiang held back a smile and asked, "Are you worried that I will hurt her?" ”
“…… Yes, after all, that kid doesn't have any friends, so he cares about this too. ”
Hui Yin smiled a little awkwardly, and then hurriedly continued: "But now I don't worry about it, because I can feel that Mr. Su Mu is a trustworthy person." ”
"Thank you for your attention, and just call me Su Mu."
"Then Su Mu also calls me Huiyin."
"Well, Huiyin, you just said that Meihong doesn't have any friends, in fact, as long as she is frank, that friend can definitely line up from the head of the village to the end of the village."
Hearing this, Huiyin was slightly stunned, and then she saw Su Mu's gaze suddenly become as if she was looking at her confidant: "Mm-hmm! I've always thought so. ”
"Haha~ That guy is a tsundere, don't you know? The first time I met her, she gave me a textbook ...... of cold on the outside and hot on the inside."
Just when the two unconsciously started the 'Sister Red Symposium', Sister Hong, who was outside a wall, had already become red-faced.
The physical fitness was like her, and the undisguised voices of the two people inside fell into her ears completely.
This kind of 'public execution', these two guys are deliberate, right?
……
……
At 8 o'clock in the evening, Su Mu came to the Lost Bamboo Forest on time, and Mei Hong was waiting there as always, and a cigarette in her hand was already half lit.
She always seemed accustomed to waiting.
"Let's go into the bamboo forest, if you are in the sky, you won't find the Eternal Pavilion." After saying that, she turned around and flew towards the bamboo forest.
Su Mu hurriedly followed, and at the same time said with a smile: "Well, dig some bamboo shoots along the way." ”
"Well, I'll help you, I'm familiar with this area."
"Then please, I'll treat you to supper later."
"Okay, why don't you go to the hostess's shop, the things there are very good, and if you have any props to store food, you can also bring some back to your family to taste."
The proprietress shop? Grilled eight-eyed eel? Also said...... Is it a roasted proprietress ?
Su Mu secretly scolded himself, and then nodded: "Okay, I'm also curious about that place." ”
As he answered, the two fell into silence, and it wasn't until they dug up a few bamboo shoots on the road that Mei Hong broke the silence and asked, "Su Mu, you said before that you went to the Forever Pavilion to buy medicine, right?" ”
“…… Well. ”
Su Mu replied softly, he had already guessed what Mei Hong was going to ask, and her next question confirmed his guess.
"Penglai medicine?"
"Well, this is indeed one of the medicines I'm going to buy." Su Mu nodded frankly.
When Mei Hong heard it, she laughed a little sadly: "Sure enough? Even you can't resist the temptation of immortality, right? ”
"Haha~ I'm afraid I'm misunderstood, I bought Penglai medicine but I didn't prepare to eat it myself, and of course I won't give it to the people around me."
"Huh?" Mei Hong was stunned for a moment.
"The immortality caused by Penglai medicine actually eliminates the boundary between life and death, right? Therefore, the so-called 'immortality' is indeed immortal, but that cannot be regarded as a 'living', who will not die and cannot die. ”
As he spoke, Su Mu looked at Mei Hong's eyes and said, "Why should I be so rare with this curse-like effect?" ”
"You ......" Mei Hong's eyes suddenly widened, and she looked at Su Mu in disbelief.
"Don't be surprised, I know more than you think, and I'll tell you about it later."
"......" Mei Hong stared at him until a long time before nodding silently, and then asked, "Even so, this kind of near-immortal ability, haven't you ever thought of having it yourself?" ”
"In fact, I'm just one step away from the gods."
"You ......" Mei Hong was taken aback by him again.
"When I become a god, I can live forever unless I want to die."
“…… Then you really don't need Penglai medicine. ”
Mei Hong sighed slightly, she didn't expect that her friend she had just met would be so exaggerated.
Gods, she knew that the concept that Su Mu said was different from the gods born of faith on Youkai Mountain, it was a kind of existence that was truly above everything.
"Then what do you want Penglai medicine for?"
"More precisely, I want to learn about the doctor's drug system and see if I can improve the medical technology of our world after bringing it back."
"That's it?"
“…… I'm curious myself. Su Mu laughed a little awkwardly.
And at this moment, a whistling sound suddenly sounded, and Su Mu raised his head, only to see a row of sharp bamboos shooting towards them.
However, before he could make a move, the sister Hong beside him raised his hand nonchalantly as usual, and suddenly a flame rose up, covering the row of sharp bamboos.
Boom –
The scorching heat spread between the bamboo forests, causing the menacing sharp bamboo to instantly turn into carbon powder and sprinkle it on the ground.
In this regard, Mei Hong just shook her head slightly, and then said to Su Mu: "Don't care, it's just a prank by a certain rabbit, and I'm afraid there will be next." ”
“…… Well. Su Mu nodded noncommittally.
And with the scene behind this scene, the next journey was indeed as Mei Hong expected, all kinds of traps came one after another, so many times, even Mei Hong, who was already used to it, began to feel impatient.
"This dead rabbit seems to be in a good mood today, and it seems that we need to teach her a lesson." Mei Hong gritted her teeth, she seriously suspected that this rabbit was specifically designed to slap her in the face in front of Su Mu.
"Then teach her a lesson."
Su Mu smiled slightly, and then a silver halo lit up from her body, and then spread towards the entire bamboo forest.
After a while, Su Mu's eyes narrowed slightly, and at the same time, one of his hands poked into the void beside him as if reaching into the water.
The next moment, with an exclamation, a black-haired girl with a pair of rabbits was carried in his hand.
