Originally, Li Xiaodong planned to leave the palace immediately after the emperor's follow-up examination, but when he heard Yumiko mention the matter of "Spirit Turtle Grass", he immediately changed his mind and followed Yumiko to the Bamboo Forest Courtyard where she lived.

The main thing is that the spirit turtle grass is too attractive.

If he had a standard Spirit Tortoise Grass produced in the thousand-year-old turtle cave, and it didn't take a lot, he could use the secret method to refine an extremely precious pill, which could not only increase the limit lifespan of the human body, but also help him improve his inner body cultivation, that is, increase the level of his natural vitality.

He once saw the scene of the ghost king fighting the unequaled prince in the ancient tombs, which made him understand that his strength still needed to be strengthened, and at this moment, with the spirit turtle grass, a holy product that raised the yuan and strengthened the foundation, of course he didn't want to miss it.

Following Yumiko into her room, Yumiko picked up a heavy book from the bedside, and then opened the book, revealing the specimen of grass plants sandwiched between the pages, the grass plants at this time looked still fresh, and the green grass blades still revealed a faint fragrance smell, apparently not long after they were picked.

"For the past two days, Mr. did not accompany Yumiko, so Yumiko went to Mount Kinabalu by herself, walked around the areas infested with thousand-year-old mountain turtles, and found some herbs you need. ”

Yumiko handed this herb to him and looked at him with a slight flickering eye, "I only picked one, and the others are still in the cave, do you want Yumiko to take you over to have a look?"

Li Xiaodong didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "Okay." He put the sample in his hand to the tip of his nose and sniffed deeply, he could feel that this specimen had extraordinary medicinal power, and it was the spirit grass in the turtle cave that was more than a thousand years old.

Yumiko knew that his interest had been hooked, and a hint of pity flashed in her eyes.

She poured a cup of tea very politely and asked Li Xiaodong to sit down for a while, she still had a little thing to deal with before leaving the courtyard.

Li Xiaodong naturally didn't think much about it, while sipping tea, he looked at the herb in his hand, and his mind was all on the spirit turtle grass at the moment.

Yumiko gently left the room, and at the other end of the annex, she found Aiko, who was dedicated to serving her.

"Miss, aren't you accompanying Mr. Xiaodong, why did you come to me?" Aiko was arranging flowers in the room, and when she saw Miss Yumiko coming, she greeted her cheerfully.

"Aiko, there are some things I want to tell you......" Yumiko's eyes gradually became sad, and a feeling of separation in her heart was gradually thickening.

"Huh, Miss Yumiko, what's wrong with you, why does Miss look sad?" Aiko asked curiously.

Yumiko shook her head lightly and said, "No, I'm not sad, I should have suddenly remembered some things from before, and I felt a little touched in my heart......"

She gently grabbed Aiko's hand and said, "I came here to tell you that I am going to accompany Mr. Li Xiaodong on a long trip, and I may not come back for more than a month, and I met my parents, and you tell them on my behalf." ”

Aiko tilted her head and asked a little strangely, "Miss Yumiko, are you and Mr. Koto going on a trip together?"

Yumiko smiled and said, "Yes, it's tourism, Mr. Koto and I are going to all parts of the country, as well as Panama, which I have always wanted to go to." ”

Aiko didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Aiko knows, Miss wants to have a romantic honeymoon trip with Mr. Xiaodong like an eloped couple, hehe, Miss Yumiko, it seems to be so sweet." ”

Yumiko smiled: "So don't tell anyone about this matter for the time being, and when it's night, it's not too late for you to tell my parents." ”

"Well, Aiko understands. She said seriously: "But Miss, then you must pay attention to safety, now the earthquake that occurred two days ago is discussed on TV every day, and those commentators analyze that in the next month, there is likely to be an earthquake in the business circle of Kyoto, and it may be a high-level earthquake, you must be careful when you go out to travel with Mr. Xiaodong." ”

Yumiko smiled and said, "Hey, I'll pay attention." He raised his hand and touched her cheek, and said gently: "You have to take care of yourself, when you see my parents, tell them not to worry about me, and when you see my little brother, you also tell him for me: my sister will miss his ......"

Aiko didn't know that what Miss Yumiko said to her was equivalent to the final parting gift.

On this sunny morning, Yumiko came to the square pavilion alone, with a sad expression, silently shedding tears, and turned into the distance, praying in her heart for the emperor's grandfather, the teacher, and all the family members.

After a brief ceremony, she slowly wiped away her tears, as calm as ever.

There's been something in the works, and it's time to wrap it up.

Half an hour later, in the secluded palace sacred mountain, Yumiko accompanied Li Xiaodong, walking on a weed-infested forest path at a not very fast pace.

Li Xiaodong walked all the way, looked around all the way, and found that this place had reached the depths of the sacred mountain, and it was already a little inaccessible, so he couldn't help but turn his head and ask: "Yumiko, where are you taking me? Is this place too far?"

Yumiko replied softly while leading the way: "The place where Yumiko took you was originally an abandoned air-raid shelter, and later the air-raid shelter became a paradise for birds and beasts, and many mountain turtles used the air-raid shelter as a nest to live in, and the herb that Yumiko saw for Mr. just now was found in the air-raid shelter." ”

Li Xiaodong nodded and didn't doubt it much.

After walking for a short time, under the foothills of the deepest part of the sacred mountain, Li Xiaodong really saw that under the craggy rocks, there was a hole more than one person high that was obviously artificially dug blue brick and stone wall, unobstructed, the entrance of the cave was facing the gurgling water, and people looked inside from the outside, and could only see the unfathomable tunnel paved with bricks and stones.

"This is it, Mr. can wait at the entrance of the cave, Yumiko enters the cave, and picks those herbs for him. Yumiko bowed slightly, then flashed a pocket flashlight and walked into the mouth of the bomb shelter alone.

"Yumiko ......"

At this time, when he came here, Li Xiaodong had already faintly felt a trace of inappropriateness, but when he saw Yumiko didn't say anything, he just walked directly into the air-raid shelter, and his faint trace of inappropriateness gradually disappeared.

"Is it dark inside, do you want me to accompany you?"

Li Xiaodong stayed outside the cave and asked jokingly, but at this moment, there was an exclamation from Yumiko from the black hole, only to see the faint flashlight swaying for a while, and then slammed to the ground, Li Xiaodong vaguely saw that Yumiko's figure seemed to have fallen.

"What's the situation?Yumiko, how are you?" he ran over, without thinking, into the deep bomb shelter.
