Chapter 22: The House of Herbs

Yingxiang never imagined that Liang Xiaomei's mouth was such an amazing three words, Liang Xiaomei turned around and left after speaking, but he didn't follow.

Liang Xiaomei took two steps and found that something was wrong, she looked back at the seven orifices that couldn't help but be angry. He informed Yingxiang himself, but he still stood there like a stupid goose, and didn't follow at all.

"Aren't you leaving, waiting for me to carry the sedan chair and invite you?" Liang Xiaomei said angrily. She is very anxious, there are so many things waiting for her to do, her time is very precious, how can she have time to spend with this "idler".

On the way here, she didn't know how many times she had complained about her grandfather in her heart, and she inexplicably asked her to come here to inform Yingxiang, just send an apprentice and medicine boy for this kind of small thing.

Now Yingxiang is still not cooperative, and I don't know how much time I will waste if I wait for myself to explain things clearly.

"Let you go with me, you just listen to me, what are you still rubbing? Eagle Emperor, please turn on the light of wisdom to ignite this stupid person. Liang Xiaomei prayed secretly in her heart.

Ying Xiang said: "Where are you going?"

Liang Xiaomei said: "Of course I went to my grandfather." Patriarch's grandfather's order, you don't have to participate in the exercise from today onwards. ”

Ying Xiang was a little surprised, and said, "Don't exercise, then what should I do?"

Liang Xiaomei said: "Go to grandpa to help! Let's go, it's been a lot of time." ”

Ying Xiang nodded and said, "Okay, then you go first, I'll come later." ”

Liang Xiaomei was almost stunned by Yingxiang, she stared at Yingxiang with big eyes and said, "You don't believe me?"

Ying Xiang explained: "Of course I believe your words, but I don't like to give up halfway, I will go to the Second Elder, but before that, I have to finish today's morning exercise." ”

Liang Xiaomei saw that Yingxiang was very persistent, so she didn't persuade anything, and said, "Okay, I'll go first, but you remember to come as soon as you finish your morning exercise." ”

Liang Xiaomei finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yingxiang nodding and agreeing, and flapped her wings and flew towards Tianyao Peak.

Ying Xiang continued to exercise his physique, constantly punching and kicking, and practicing a set of combat skills in a standard manner.

Finally the morning exercise was over, Ying Xiang drank a big sip of water, and felt comfortable after sweating, his eyes unconsciously looked in the direction of Tianyao Peak.

Many people present heard Liang Xiaomei's words, and at this moment, Liang Yue, Liang Yong, Dali and others all gathered around to ask.

"Brother Xiang, are you really going to the Second Elder?"

"No, how could the patriarch grandfather give such an inexplicable order. ”

"You're really unlucky, the second elder has a smell of medicine, it's terrible. ”

Ying Xiang said: "Since it is the order of the patriarch grandfather, then I naturally want to go, you have to get along well when I am not there, don't quarrel and fight casually." ”

Ying Xiang knew very well in his heart that the decision of the patriarch grandfather was to hope that he would not practice too quickly, and let himself adjust it to the second elder.

Although he was very reluctant, Ying Xiang decided to leave for the Second Elder immediately.

Ying Xiang untied the two Qiankun bags tied to his legs and handed them to Liang Yue, and said: "This is for you, but at the beginning, the weight of the Qiankun bag should be lighter, and it is best not to exceed two hundred catties, and then slowly increase the weight after getting used to it."

Liang Yue didn't reach out to pick it up, and said lightly: "You won't participate in the morning exercise in the future, you can keep this, I don't want my opponent to become weaker and weaker!"

Ying Xiang smiled, patted Liang Yue's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'm not so easy to be overtaken by you, this method doesn't work for me anymore, I will find other ways to sharpen myself." ”

Liang Yue looked at Yingxiang's eyes, did not refuse again, and accepted the two Qiankun bags.

Ying Xiang whispered in his ear, "Take care of Xiaojie." ”

............

The Second Elder's residence was on the shore of Yinyue Lake, and several exquisite wooden houses on a large and sturdy tree were the second elder's usual residence.

There are more than a dozen wooden houses on the flat ground near the big tree, and the strong smell of medicine can be heard from afar, which is a ward for patients.

Ying Xiang stepped into a wooden house, where several seriously injured people lay on the beds, their bodies wrapped in thick bandages, and faintly oozing blood.

Two thin teenagers of fourteen or fifteen years old were busily fanning the medicine stove, and from time to time they had to put one or two herbs or a packet of medicinal powder into the medicine stove.

Ying Xiang knew that this was the medicine boy from the Second Elder, and he was usually a member of the clan who was born with a weak body.

Some clansmen are physically weak, let alone cultivating, and even participating in ordinary exercises on weekdays cannot be completed. These people have not been given up, and they have learned some technical work, so they can also contribute to the tribe, after all, some work needs to be done by manpower.

Just like the second elder here, there are a lot of chores such as taking medicine, decocting medicine, and taking care of the sick, and the second elder lacks skills, and it is impossible to do everything himself, otherwise he would have been exhausted to death.

Of course, there are also people among the medicine children and apprentices who are interested in medical skills, and they give up the path of cultivation to seek medical treatment, which is also a path. The second elder is the best example, he doesn't have any attack power, but he has won the respect of the clan with his supernatural medical skills.

Ying Xiang asks the two about Liang Xiaomei's whereabouts, and the medicine boy tells him that Liang Xiaomei has set up medicine powder in one of the easternmost rooms.

In the easternmost wooden house, there is a small plaque hanging on the wooden house, and the three words "Baicao House" on the plaque are small and beautiful.

Ying Xiang knocked lightly on the door.

"Who?" Liang Xiaomei's voice was as crisp and beautiful as a yellow warbler.

"I'm Eagle Soaring. Eagle Xiang replied.

"Come in!" Liang Xiaomei said immediately.

I don't know what's going on, Ying Xiang felt that there was a sense of joy in Liang Xiaomei's voice, obviously he was in a hurry when he came to me today, and his current attitude made Ying Xiang feel strange.

Ying Xiang touched his nose and walked in.

"Wow!" Eagle Xiang was taken aback, only to see a petite body holding a wooden pestle the thickness of a thigh and pounding hard against a deep barrel-shaped copper vessel.

Liang Xiaomei pounded hard while carefully looking at the situation inside the vessel.

"Hey, grab a handful of the purple herbs at your feet. Liang Xiaomei said without raising her eyelids.

"Hmm...... Good. There was no one else in the cabin, and Ying Xiang was sure that Liang Xiaomei was talking to himself.

The room is filled with a variety of herbs of all colors and shapes. Fortunately, there was only one purple herb piled up at his feet, and Ying Xiang grabbed a handful as instructed.

Liang Xiaomei glanced up, nodded and said, "Put it in the copper pestle mortar." ”

Ying Xiang threw the herbs into the mortar, and Liang Xiaomei mixed the herbs in the mortar with a small shovel, and then held the wooden pestle and pounded it one by one.

Ying Xiang looked around and felt a little dizzy, there were piles of medicinal herbs on the ground and on the table, and rows of wooden shelves were displayed not far away, and the shelves were full of bottles and cans.

The strong smell of herbs made Ying Xiang a little afraid, and Ying Xiang was not less tormented by the second elder when he was a child. All kinds of bitter, astringent, and unpalatable medicines were poured into Yingxiang, and they were also soaked by the second elder with various herbs.

The two elders also have no ill intentions, most of the herbs used for Yingxiang are drugs that strengthen muscles and bones and enhance physical fitness, of course, some of the drugs are still in the experimental stage, Xiaoyingxiang sadly became the first person to test the medicine, some drugs inevitably have a small side effect, such as runny nose, itching or vomiting and diarrhea and so on.

The second elder's tossing of Ying Xiang was not in vain, and it laid a good foundation for Ying Xiang's cultivation later, and even Ying Xiang's physique was very good and suitable for cultivation was discovered by the second elder.

The second elder told the patriarch about this discovery, and the patriarch tried to teach Ying Xiang some basic exercises in the qi training stage, but he didn't expect that Ying Xiang's cultivation was smooth and there was no danger.

Now Ying Xiang is standing in Liang Xiaomei's grass house, smelling the strong smell of medicine and can't help but shiver, obviously he remembers the miserable days when he was a child.

"By the way, go to the shelf over there and get a bottle of lark and scatter it. Liang Xiaomei commanded again.

"What kind of bottle is it in?" Ying Xiang was dazzled by the nearly a thousand bottles.

"The gray porcelain bottle, probably on the third shelf, has words on it. Liang Xiaomei said.

With a hint, it was much easier to find, and Yingxiang quickly found Bailing and scattered it. Ying Xiang was about to open his mouth to ask where the second elder was, but he didn't expect Liang Xiaomei to order it again.

"When you go to the door, do you see that pile of green herbs, that is, the roots are silvery-white, and the leaves are slender and slender. You chop it up with a guillotine behind the door and put it in the basket. Liang Xiaomei said.

Yingxiang was not in a hurry and decided to help to the end. Naturally, he didn't come here to eat dry food, and helping Liang Xiaomei to work might be the second elder's arrangement for him.

Eagle Xiang was very nimble and quickly chopped up the herbs and neatly packed them in a basket.

After a while, Ying Xiang patted the crumbs on his clothes and said to Liang Xiaomei, "Okay." ”

"So fast?" Liang Xiaomei looked up, her beautiful eyes widening in surprise.

Ying Xiang stood next to the basket and smiled at Liang Xiaomei, Liang Xiaomei's surprised look was really funny. This bit of work is simply too pediatric compared to Yingxiang's daily exercise, and Yingxiang completes it very easily.

Liang Xiaomei saw a basket full of cut herbs, and the expression on her face changed from surprise at the beginning to surprise.

Hey, I really picked up a treasure, I didn't expect Ying Xiang to be so capable.

Chopping herbs is considered a physical job, if Liang Xiaomei does it herself, I am afraid that it will never be completed without half an hour.

But Yingxiang was completed in less than a pillar of incense, and Liang Xiaomei took a look from afar and found that he did not cut corners. The herbs in the basket were neatly chopped and crumbled, apparently well done.

I originally thought that I had wasted a lot of time looking for Eagle Xiang, and I am afraid that I would have to stay up late to complete today's work. I didn't expect to pick up the treasure, with the help of Eagle Xiang, I'm afraid I can complete today's work before sunset.

That way, there will be time to talk to the little sister in the evening. Eagle Emperor, you are so great, bless me for finding such a good helper.
