Chapter 55: A Warm Night
In this world, there are male and female, that is, to reproduce, but people live not only for this. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xieshugou and Huangyanzegou are poor and remote areas, where there is no one to live, but it is full of nature and poetry, in fact, nature is the largest and best treasure house given to us by God.
The female ghost sent Yang Luji to take me here to collect a large number of rare medicinal materials, filled the basket on the back of "Xiao Erhei", and when it was dark, I followed her back to the cave of Huangyan Zegou.
Green Ji is a female ghost, not only is she not afraid of walking at night, but she also likes to walk at night, I am much worse, I follow her closely, for fear of being left behind, a crescent moon in the eastern night sky emits a faint light, evenly scattered on the ground.
Along the way, she kept telling me about the ghosts she had captured, almost all kinds of spirits, and even the demon fox monster that had become a spirit.
I asked, "Are there really any demons and monsters in this world?" ”
Midorihime turned around, revealing a bloodless, paper-white face, and asked coldly, "What do you think?" ”
Although she was right in front of me, I still couldn't accept the existence of demons and monsters in this world, after all, I had also been educated in atheism for more than 20 years.
"Do you feel that my face is horrible?" She asked.
I nodded, not making a sound.
"This is just my groomed face, my original face has not been revealed, for fear of scaring you." Midorihime turned around and continued to lead the way, then continued: "You have only been in the human world for more than 20 years, and you have seen too few people, and some people's faces are more eerie than our ghosts. ”
My heart hung in the air, and I didn't know what she meant by this, but I was already in the middle of it, and it was impossible to leave, so I had to continue to follow her.
When I got back to the cave, my heart relaxed, and I began to unload the basket from the donkey's back.
Midorihime dropped a sentence: "You eat first, and then you cook the herbs that have just come back and fry them, and I'll go to take a bath." He sat down at the dresser and removed his makeup.
The cave is particularly bright because of the light of several oil lamps.
I took out the fried noodles and sprinkled them with sugar, half of them were given to "Xiao Erhei" to eat, leaving half for myself to satisfy my hunger.
The small iron pot on the tandoor was already boiling hot water, and I sorted the picked Codonopsis, wolfberry, yellow essence, and sour dates one by one, and put them on the ground to dry.
After being busy, I inadvertently turned my head to look at Midorihime, only to see her back with long hair hanging down her waist, but a miserable white face was reflected in the mirror. Strange, her face has obviously become ruddy, how can she return to a miserable white color?
I took out the quick knife that my grandfather left me, and began to cut Codonopsis and Yellow Essence on the table, and I heard the sound of the stool behind me, Midorihime took off her makeup and got up, and said to me: "I'm going to take a bath, you are not allowed to enter the room behind the wall without my permission!" ”
"Okay, I'm definitely not going to peek!" I didn't look back, and immediately agreed, but I saw the figure of Green Ji from the quick knife, she slowly took off her cold-proof clothes, leaving only the close-fitting gauze pants, and then walked to the boudoir behind the wall, passing by the front of the wall, and deliberately looked back at me.
In the reflection of the blade, I saw Midorihime's real face, a withered face, like my grandmother's.
I can't imagine that Midorihime's real face is so old.
Seeing that I was not responding, she went into the boudoir behind the wall. My heart is racing and I wonder what will happen tonight? The hands holding the knife began to tremble.
The water in the small iron pot boiled and steamed, and there was a cry of joy.
I got up slowly, wrapped the ears of the iron pot in a rag, and poured the boiling water into the enamel jar.
There was a splash of water behind the wall, and I could imagine that Midorihime was bathing at the moment, but I didn't know if her body was as smooth as a girl, or as wrinkled as a ninety old woman?
I had eaten my supper like chewing wax, and I carefully examined the ring on my hand at the table, and how I wished that the old man in the pearl would chat with me, give me advice and show me the way.
But the pearls were still visible, so I put down the knife, took out the mahogany box, opened it, and sniffed vigorously at the musk inside, which calmed me.
"You put Codonopsis, wolfberry, and yellow essence into a casserole and boil, and then take it." There was a reminder from Midorihime in the boudoir behind the wall, and I came back to my senses and casually responded to cook medicine.
I don't know what time it is because I don't have a watch, but I'm starting to yawn and I'm a little sleepy. But the medicine hadn't boiled yet, and I was still looking at the fire, so I sat by the fire with the "Compendium of Materia Medica".
In the water vapor coming out of the medicinal soup, the medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger, and in the steaming water mist, I felt that I had a primitive impulse.
There was a sound of footsteps behind the wall, and Midorihime walked out in a pink silk nightgown and wiping her long wet hair with a white towel, and I saw her face after removing her makeup.
Her face was rosy again, and there were tiny freckles under her eyes.
Perhaps this is what she really is, Midorihime sat down in front of the dresser and said to me, "You go wash too, there is hot water in it!" ”
Because of the difficult conditions, I can only take a bath once a month, so I responded, got up and put the "Compendium of Materia Medica" on the table, walked into the boudoir behind the wall, and saw a bath bucket behind the screen, and there was a layer of rose petals floating on the water, I reached out to test the water temperature, it was still warm, so I quickly took off my clothes and pants, and jumped in the bath.
It feels comfortable to be wrapped in hot water, and Midorihime has no intention of leaving, am I going to take off the order tonight?
College students entering the 21st century are very trendy and ashamed of being single, but every year, there are always a few bachelors, I endure being ridiculed by my classmates, being questioned by teachers, and comforting myself: I am still young, the road ahead is still long, the school is not necessarily the best, maybe I will meet better in the future.
If Midorihime were human, how happy I would be!
My heart has been entangled, I like this female ghost Yang Luji, but I can't accept that she is not my type, the two of us have different paths, it is impossible to have results, but I don't want to give up this feeling, the feeling of being really in love.
The price of staying with her for life is your own life, is it worth it?
When I was hesitating, Midorihime walked in with the boiled medicine, came to the bathtub, and said softly to me, "Childe, the medicine has been boiled, you should drink it while it's hot!" ”
I returned the favor to her with a grateful expression, and was about to reach for the enamel jar, and she reminded: "Childe, be careful of hot hands!" ”
"Then why aren't you afraid of hot hands?" I saw her holding an enamel jar with her bare hands, so I asked rhetorically.
Midorihime responded: "Because I'm a ghost, I'm not afraid of cold and heat." I nodded in understanding, and she placed the enamel jar on the surface of the water to cool down, and the rose petals floating on the surface of the water quickly withered.
"Alright, it's ready to take!" Midorihime motioned for me to take it, the medicine was in my mouth, it was slightly hot, and it was bitter, but the medicine was bitter, I drank it slowly, and soon I felt energetic and refreshed.
It's so fast, it's amazing!
I even had a hint of impulse, Midorihime took the enamel jar and turned to leave, and I saw a shadow enter the tent.
But I didn't bring a bathrobe, I didn't, and my change of clothes was in the front package, so what should I do? You can't go out naked and get dressed, can you?
