Chapter 11 Development of hemp boiling powder
In desperation, Yang Xue could only follow the cellar to look around, but unfortunately she never found the mechanism to open the door.
"It smells so good." Ai Qing, who had always been accustomed to being silent, opened his mouth.
"Hey! We're in captivity, can you not be so focused. Xu Feifei said in a heartfelt voice.
"Okay, it's going to be closed for a few days, it's fine." After Yang Xue comforted Xu Feifei, she then asked Ai Qing: "What medicine did you smell?" ”
"I can't tell, there are many kinds." Ai Qing rarely took control of her body, took a few deep breaths and replied.
"Then you look for it, will there be those medicinal materials for treating the face that you said, anyway, you can't get out of this place with walls on all sides, if you can cure your face here, it won't be a loss." Yang Xue told the other two her thoughts in a heartfelt voice.
"I didn't think of that." Ai Qing was happy for a while, rummaging through the cellar following the taste.
"Jasmine, Aracea, calamus, angelica, angelica," Ai Qing muttered a bunch of nouns that the other two had either heard or had never heard of.
"It's ...... Sheep heel! Ai Qing looked at the medicinal herbs in his hand and was happy.
"What's wrong, found it?" The two of them asked hurriedly.
"I didn't find it all."
"And what are you happy about?"
"The medicine for treating the face is still lacking in saffron, but the medicine I just found contains all the medicinal materials for preparing hemp boiling powder." Ai Qing said as she carefully picked out the several medicinal materials she needed.
"Why do you want hemp boiling?" Xu Feifei was puzzled.
"Didn't you say that it was dangerous in this time when there were no guns and no guns? If you don't have martial arts, it's not bad to have hemp boiling! Ai Qing took the selected medicinal materials in her hand, with an excited face.
"Hmmm! There is a point in that! Xu Feifei nodded crepe, and then secretly spat in her heart, despising herself fiercely: "Ahhh How do I speak in a tone with the ancients? ”
"Okay, we came here after dying in a car accident, and we probably won't be able to go back, so it's better to adapt as soon as possible." Yang Xue said with a light smile.
"There's still something missing, eh~~~ there's it!" Ai Qing didn't care about the conversation between the other two, put down the medicinal herbs in his hand, trotted to the other side of the cellar, held a stone mortar and put it on the low table on the couch, and then took the medicine and sat down and began to tinker.
"9 grams of sheep's heel, 3 grams of jasmine root, 30 grams of angelica, 0.9 grams of calamus." Ai Qing put several medicinal materials in the palm of his hand, and reported the amount he needed with words in his mouth, and the other hand was responsible for discarding more and making up for less.
"Ai Qing, what kind of skill do you have? Real scales? Yang Xue and Xu Feifei were dumbfounded, and admired in their hearts again and again.
"It is very important for practitioners to control the measurement, and one more gram or one gram less may cause adverse reactions to patients, so they weigh more drugs on weekdays, and they can judge by their eyes and hands." Ai Qing said that he had already put the weighed medicinal materials into Fang Cai's stone mortar, picked up the stone and began to grind it.
"Ai Qing, you grind directly like this, if we don't wear a mask or something, will we grind and grind and faint directly inside." Yang Xue asked with some unease.
"It's okay, after grinding into powder, it has to be boiled and dried to completely release the medicinal properties. This cornstarch won't have much of an impact. ”
All night long, Ai Qing was in high spirits preparing various potions, and the other two people in her body were already drowsy, and those who had no choice but to open their eyes would never be able to fall asleep.
"It's done!" Ai Qing slapped the low table excitedly, and the other two people in her body woke up.
"What has it become?" The two asked tacitly.
"Na! Laxatives, gold sore medicines, and five poisons ......" Ai Qing pointed to the small porcelain jars in front of him and introduced.
"I can understand that you do the rest, do you want to kill people by doing the Five Poison Powder?" Yang Xue asked in a heartfelt voice.
"That's done by the way, I see that there are poisonous snakes, toads, poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions and lizards here, so don't do it for nothing!" Ai Qing's face was taken for granted, as if she had a cold medicine.
"Listen, what's that sound?" Yang Xue reminded.
From the small hole in the top of the cellar for ventilation came the music, the sound intermittently piercing through the periosteum.
"It seems to be a musical instrument like suona, damn! Mu Chun decided to get married today, the old lady is still here, who did he marry! Xu Feifei couldn't sit still.
"Feifei, why are you so excited! If he marries someone else, won't we be able to get out? Ai Qing said disapprerovantly, and stuffed the small jars on the table into the hidden pocket of his sleeve.
"It's not! In any case, he can't say that he can change it! This ancient man is really unreliable. Xu Feifei paused the quibble of righteous words.
"Fei Fei, doesn't this modern man care? Aren't you in love with Mu Chun? Ai Qing said with a smile.
"Joke, the old lady has been walking the rivers and lakes for twenty-eight years, what kind of man has never seen it, will he be so easily confused by this look?" Xu Feifei refuted with a hard mouth, but she secretly had some strange feelings in her heart, I have to say that this man is too hungry for her.
"Oh? Then how do I feel that my face is flushed and red. Ai Qing asked as she touched the face shared by the three of them.
"Is it red? It's not me, it's Yang Xue! It must be because of Yang Xue's face that it is red. Xu Feifei argued and pointed the finger at Yang Xue, who had been silent.
"I didn't blush, but I did seem to have a little bit of a feeling for him, which was probably the magnetic field, and I felt that his skin, eyes, and tone of voice were all fascinating."
Yang Xue raised her head and spoke, without dodging the thoughts that had been haunting her heart for the past two days.
"Yang Xue, you ......"
Ai Qing was so surprised that she didn't know what to say, after all, in her impression, although Yang Xue was the youngest of the three, she was the smartest and calmest one. It's not like she'd do anything to be sure of liking someone in just a few days.
Xu Feifei was also speechless in shock, unlike Ai Qing, her heart was faintly sour.
"I didn't tell you! I once had a person I liked for ten years in modern times," Yang Xue controlled her body, sat on the platform, leaned against the wall, and slowly recounted her past in her heart.
"From the age of sixteen until the three months before I died, I loved him dearly. You know my character, calm and strong, I have kept my love for him in my heart for ten years. Staying by his side, helping her chase girls, accompanying him from passionate love to broken love, and then to passionate love, until he took other girls by the hand and walked into the church, I never had the courage to speak.
Do you remember the day we just woke up from the camel sedan chair and said that we wanted to listen to "Zhaojun's Resentment"? That piece was the first time we met, and he played it at the school celebration. In modern times, there are fewer people who can play the lute, and even fewer men who can play the lute. But his lute played into my heart. He sat in the center of the stage, his eyes empty and sad, and sometimes, liking someone was just a matter of moments. Since then, I have been with him for ten years, and this song has also been with me for ten years......" Yang Xue told all the bits and pieces of her past ten years.
After a pause, he continued: "After he got married, I was depressed for only two days before I went back to work. Until the day of the car accident, when my head was hit the windshield, I felt the despair of death, and at that moment I told myself that if there was another life, I would fall in love with someone again, and I would not allow myself to miss it. I really didn't think that such a thing would happen to me, and I never thought that I would meet Mu Chun so soon...... That day, he stood in the sunlight with his hands in his hands, and his gloomy eyes entered my heart in an instant. Sometimes, falling in love with someone is really not that complicated. ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Yang Xue's mouth flashed with a vague smile, shallow and faint, but full of warmth emanating from the bottom of her heart.
