"Angry?" deliberately leaned into Lian Meng's ear, Zhou Nian asked with a smile.

"Hmph!" Lian Meng threw his head to the side angrily, still ignoring it.

"Alright, don't be angry, I'll tell you something serious. Zhou Nian's face returned to flatness.

"Serious business?" Hearing this, Lian Meng's eyes glanced to the side slightly, but he still didn't have a good face, "What serious business? ”

"Little worm?" Zhou Nian shook his head, pointed to the ice silkworm that was wriggling on the bed, and said seriously, "It's not an ordinary worm, it can save your life." ”

"Save my life?" Lian Meng's face changed slightly, and he looked at the ice silkworm with some hesitation, and after looking at it for a while, it was still difficult to see how powerful it was, and said with a little disdain, "With it, don't bluff me." ”

"Huh...... If you don't believe me, let's verify it. ”

"How do you verify it?"

"Forehead......" Zhou Nian hesitated slightly, recalling Lian Meng's previous huge reaction, and simply slowed down his speech, "That, you have to take off your clothes first......"

"Huh?" Lian Meng became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly wrapped his clothes vigorously, and said angrily, "Hmph, shameless." ”

Zhou Nian shook his head after hearing this, crossed his hands and lay down under his head, "Alas, kindness is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

"Your kindness is to let the girl undress? ”

"Alas, I can't suck out the residual poison in your body, but the ice silkworm can, if you don't want to turn into a puddle of black water in the future, you can not believe it. Looking above his head, Zhou Nian deliberately said that it was none of his business.

As soon as these words came out, Lian Meng's face really changed, and he asked in a tentative whisper, "It's ...... Is it really possible?"

"Of course, but since you're so afraid of bugs, I think you'd better forget it. After Zhou Nian finished speaking, he suddenly got up, and the blue bottle in his hand reappeared, and he was about to put the ice silkworm back on.

Seeing this, he was a little anxious at the moment, although he was very unwilling to show weakness at this time, but for the sake of his life, he couldn't help but step forward and snatch the vial.

"I ...... I believe in you. Lian Meng pouted, muttered twice, and lowered his head again.

Zhou Nian shook his head helplessly, walked over to Lian Meng's ear, and asked in a low voice, "Do you need me to help you?"

"Don't!" Lian Meng immediately refused, his face turned red all of a sudden, in order to hide his shyness, he had to pretend to be very tough, "Even if it is to help, I have to find Sister Gu." ”

Tsundere, sometimes it is yourself who suffers.

When Zhou Nian heard this, he walked slowly towards the door and said lightly, "Okay, since that's the case, then remember to return it to me after you use it." ”

"Where are you going?" said Lian Meng, who stood up and said in a hurry.

"I'm going to find Gu Yan, there's something. ”

"Oh. Lian Meng's voice suddenly lowered, and a trace of loss flashed in his heart for some reason, and his fists couldn't help clenching, and he actually made a sound, "You...... Will I be back in a moment?"

"I guess it will be two or three days away. Zhou Nian looked at the door, his back looking a little indifferent.

"Why?" Lian Meng pursed his lips and quickly asked.

"Well...... Secret. ”

Zhou Nian pretended to be mysterious, and walked out of the room directly after speaking.

In the empty room, only Lian Meng was left alone holding the vial in a daze, recalling Zhou Nian's expression just now, an inexplicable sourness suddenly appeared in her heart.

After a while, she began to talk to herself, and she didn't know whether she was angry or regretful, and scolded Zhou Nianna, "Bad guy, big stupid ......"

With a "bang", Lian Meng closed the door.

Back on the ground, Zhou Nian went directly to Gu Yan.

"Huh, Zhou Nian, why are you here?"

Gu Yan was pruning the leaves of the fruit tree at the moment, and when he saw Zhou Nian walking towards him, he couldn't help but ask.

"I'm looking for you. ”

"Oh?" Gu Yan frowned, slowly put the scissors in his hand next to the tree, wiped the sweat on his face and asked, "What's the matter with me?"

Stretching out his hand and patting his sachet, Zhou Nian handed a small note to Gu Yan and instructed, "Please prepare the medicinal materials on it for me as soon as possible." ”

Gu Yan stared at the medicinal materials on the note and carefully examined them, she didn't understand alchemy, so she naturally couldn't see the doorway, and frowned and asked, "What are these medicinal materials used for?"

Zhou Nian said seriously, "This is a pill for refining the Four-Rank Harmony Pill, which is specially used to treat the full moon backlash in your body. ”

"What?"

In a word, Gu Yan's hands suddenly trembled violently.

After several twists and turns, now Zhou Nian finally plans to help him remove the root of the disease.

I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon for a long time, and the illness that has tormented me for more than ten years can finally be completely eliminated.

With undisguised excitement on his face, Gu Yan quickly put the Dan Fang away and put it into his arms, and said solemnly, "Okay, don't worry, leave it to me, I will help you prepare it as soon as possible." ”

"Well, it's hard work. After Zhou Nian finished speaking, he turned around and walked away.

"Hey, Zhou Nian, where are you going?" The other party came and went in a hurry, making Gu Yan's heart full of curiosity.

Zhou Nian's body paused, and he turned back slightly, "Go back to the cave before." ”

"Huh?" Gu Yan frowned slightly, stepped forward and stood next to the other party, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you already bring the little fox back, why did you go back there?"

Zhou Nian lowered his head slightly, and said in a slightly helpless voice, "It will take two or three days for the backlash on my body to be completely eliminated, and during this time, I don't want anyone to disturb me." ”

"Oh, I see. Gu Yan nodded slowly, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly remembered a very important matter, and then said, "If I have prepared all the medicinal materials during the time you are recovering, can I go to you ......?"

"If things go really well, it saves us time. Zhou Nian interrupted, stared at Gu Yan with a serious face and said, "If you can find all before the full moon, the time to verify the pill can be greatly shortened." ”

Gu Yan shook his head, "No, during the time I have been with you, I no longer doubt your strength, there is no need to verify the efficacy of the pill, what I want to say is another thing." ”

"Another thing?" Zhou Nian was a little surprised.

The jade hand raised slightly, Gu Yan suddenly pointed to the fruit tree he was pruning just now, and said seriously, "This fruit, called the heart of the earth fruit, is the favorite fruit of Lord Blood Cicada, and if we want to dive into the City of Water, its existence is indispensable." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Nian's expression changed slightly, and he slowly walked towards the fruit tree of the heart of the earth, glanced at it, looked at the delicate fruits, and guessed, "Listen to the meaning of your words, this fruit should not be about to ripen." ”

"Alas, exactly!" Gu Yan nodded, a little helplessly said, "Lord Blood Cicada's favorite thing to eat is this heart fruit, the ripeness of the fruit, about three days later, this kind of fruit has a very short shelf life, from picking to taking, it can only be fresh for five days, and after five days, it will rot and blacken, and it will be tasteless to eat, without the heart of the earth, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to enter this city of water." ”

"So you say we only have five days left to get from here to the City of Water?"

"That's right. ”

"How far is it from the City of Water? ”

"It's not far, the key is that there are a lot of thieves on the road. ”

"What do you mean? Zhou Nian was curious.

Gu Yan sighed and said, "Alas, you are new to the city, you still know very little about the dangers of the city of water, although this heart fruit is not very precious outside the city, but when you get to the city of water, it is a huge fragrant bait, there are many demon beasts who have coveted this heart fruit for a long time, robbing incidents occur frequently, for a small heart fruit, they can sometimes even give up their lives!"

"Ah, is it really so delicious?" Hearing these words, Zhou Nian couldn't help but want to step forward and pick one to taste.

Gu Yan smiled, "Hehe...... Demon beasts are different from people, there is also a huge difference in the judgment of good and bad taste, I grow my own heart fruit, naturally know its taste, delicious not to talk about, to say more ugly, it is simply unpalatable, slightly bitter to eat, difficult to swallow. ”

Staring at the delicate fruits on the tree, Zhou Nian could hardly believe that Gu Yan's words were true or false, the demon beasts were salivating, how could they be so unpalatable?

Jumping up on the ground, Zhou Nian suddenly jumped up and picked a heart fruit, and then took a bite.

But as soon as he took a bite, his face suddenly changed!

It's unpalatable to death!

"Poof...... Why is it so bitter!"

The bitter taste was pervasive, and Zhou Nian spit it out in one bite, the expression on his face was a little funny.

Gu Yan covered his mouth and snickered on the side, and couldn't help but mock on his lips, "Hehe...... I reminded you, if you don't believe it, how about it, you have sinned, right?"

"Alas, I really don't understand how the tongues of those demon beasts grow, and what kind of taste is it to risk your life to rob such an unpalatable thing? Zhou Nian spit out the bitter water on his tongue and complained.

"Turnip greens, each has his own love. Gu Yan spread his hands and said.

Zhou Nian was suddenly a little depressed, but no matter how depressed he was, he couldn't question the taste of others, just like some people with unique tastes treat stinky tofu, some people regard it as a first-class delicacy, and some people are afraid of its smell, which varies from person to person.

Leaving the taste of the Earth Heart Fruit behind him for the time being, Zhou Nian continued, "I already know the priority of the situation, as long as we do our part, the plan will never be delayed." ”

Gu Yan nodded, his eyes suddenly glanced at Su Mu, who was working not far away, and asked, "That...... What are you going to do with that cousin, are you going to kill him, or are you going to take him with you to the City of Water?"

Zhou Nian's expression changed slightly, he actually had a plan in his heart for Su Mu's disposal method.

The curvature of the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and Zhou Nian said softly, "It's a burden to take him, it's a pity not to take him." ”

"Oh, what is a pity?" Seeing Zhou Nian's slightly treacherous expression, Gu Yan knew that this kid was about to start making bad things again.

"Huh...... This time we sneaked into the Water City, we should bring a lot of fruits and vegetables, right?"

"Are You Supposed to Be ......?"

"Hmph, my cousin is too weak now, he needs to exercise regularly, as a cousin, I naturally have to think about his body, so it's better to let him pull the cart, and pull those vegetables and fruits into the city with us, which also saves us a lot of effort. ”

When Gu Yan heard this, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Su Mu, and at the same time, his eyes wandered, and there was a trace of sympathy in his heart.

offended a cousin like Zhou Nian, and his heart as a cousin probably collapsed.

couldn't help but sigh, Gu Yan sighed with emotion, "Alas, you, sooner or later, you can torture your cousin to death." ”

Zhou Nian disagreed, clasped his hands in front of his chest and said, "Even if it's torture, it's his own doing." ”

"Okay, okay, just listen to you. "It is difficult for a Qing official to interrupt family affairs, so Gu Yan naturally will not ask Su Mu for the slightest invitation.

"In that case, please prepare the medicinal materials I need as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. Gu Yan said solemnly.
