Chapter 234: I Want to Have a Home
It was late at night, Bai Lihuan was extracting medicine alone in the lobby, and through the treatment of Xiang Hongji, he found a way to deal with the poison of the Night Ghost Gate, but the method was too cumbersome, and he was optimizing the process.
Suddenly, I heard someone knocking on the door.
"Come in!" He didn't look back, he came over at this hour, and there was no one else except Feng Nanjing.
However, the light footsteps and the faint smell of fat powder surprised him.
turned his head, but it was Xiang Hongji.
"Why is Miss Xiang here, is she still unwell?" Bai Lihuan thought that the toxins in her body had not been cleared yet.
"It's already healed, it's just the life-saving grace of Brother Bailihuan, and the little woman is unforgettable. I just passed by here and saw that the lights were on in the house, so I took the liberty of interrupting to see if I could help. After all, I have also been in the Poison Sect for many years, and I have a little experience in refining medicines." Xiang Hongji spoke softly, for fear of upsetting Baili Huan.
The two sects of poison and witch have the same origin, Bai Lihuan knew that what she said was true, and came to the casserole where the medicine was boiling and said: "The juice of the wind bamboo rattan is solidified by the wind, and it can only be used when I buy it from the pharmacy and boil it into a paste. It's just that the purple leaves are not easy to dissolve in water, and there are still many crumbs after three hours of simmering, and the final effect must be greatly reduced, and I am worried about this matter."
"Can't you bake it in a frying pan?" Xiang Hongji asked when she saw the idle frying pan on the table.
Baili Huan shook his head and said, "That's not possible, the purple leaves are brittle and thin, they burn when they see the fire, and I can't succeed after trying many times."
"Little sister has seen a method, I don't know if it will work." Xiang Hongji reminisced about the past.
"You say." Bailihuan was a little impatient.
Xiang Hongji said softly: "I once saw the head of the Poison Sect handle medicinal herbs like this, wait for the firewood in the stove to burn out and leave it for a while, wrap the medicinal herbs in tin foil and put them into the burned ashes, just like baking a white potato, I don't know if Ziqing Ye can be treated like this."
"I've never tried this before." Baili Huan sounded reasonable, just as the firewood in the stove burned out, he found tin foil and wrapped a little purple leaf and stuffed it under the stove and covered it with ashes.
After the time of two teas, he took out the tin foil from the ashes and froze.
In a surprising sight, the leaves that had been dry and hard turned into grease and stuck to the tin foil.
"Thanks for pointing me out." Solving the problem that had plagued him for many days, Baili was ecstatic and bowed deeply to Hongji.
Xiang Hongji jumped away from the way: "Brother Baili Huan is polite, I just said it casually, and I just hit it by mistake."
Baili Huan saw that the experiment was successful, so he weighed the proportion of various medicinal materials again and remade them.
Xiang Hongji's eyes are quick, and she doesn't need to explain how to cooperate, and she helps by the side.
"Why don't you find someone to help you, so that you can relieve a lot of work and be faster." Xiang Hongji said deliberately.
Baili Huan smiled faintly and said, "If you are used to it, it doesn't matter, besides, with Feng Nanjing's assistance, you won't delay your efforts."
"That's not good, their men are clumsy after all, it's not as good as our girls, or I'll stay and serve Brother Bailihuan." Xiang Hongji didn't beat around the bush and said what was in her heart directly.
Bai Lihuan seemed to have known what Xiang Hongji was thinking, shook his head and said, "The two sects of poison and witch have not been in harmony since ancient times, and they have been fighting and killing for a long time, and I can't explain if I take you back. Besides, being alone with a man and a widow will make others gossip."
"I don't." Xiang Hongji immediately knelt down and hugged Baili Huan's thigh.
Baili Huan was startled, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to, so he said in a panic: "Hurry up, you, what are you going to do."
Xiang Hongji shed tears and said pitifully: "You may already know my past, since I was a child, I was lonely and unloved and bullied, and with the help of the Holy Super Brothers, I finally escaped from the bitter sea of the Poison Sect, I just want to be a person."
Speaking of the sad part, Xiang Hongji sobbed and whimpered, "I have no family, no friends, no relatives alone, just want to find someone who cares about me and considerates me, is it so difficult? I'm a wretched!"
Weeping bitterly to Hongji,
hugged Baili Huan's thighs and rubbed tears on his robe.
Bai Lihuan was in a dilemma and compromised, "Okay, you get up first, what can you say tomorrow?"
"Not good." Xiang Hongji sobbed: "I heard that Brother Bailihuan lost his wife in his early years and never married again, I don't dare to have extravagant hopes, and I will be satisfied if I can be the eldest brother's maid, please make it happen."
Baili Huan sighed and said regretfully: "My wife and I have no guesses about my childhood sweetheart, how can she have a difficult birth and die of a corpse and two lives, even if I have medical skills, I am powerless, and since then I have been disheartened and concentrated on medical skills, hoping to save more people to redeem me at that time, so I can't take you in, and I hope you will understand."
"However, I don't think about it either, I just want my eldest brother to take me in and let me have a place to stay, is it so difficult?" When she saw that Baili Huan was silent, she immediately cried.
Baili Huan helped her up: "Don't force me, let me think about it for a few days, okay?"
"Even the benefactor who saved me doesn't want me, what is the point of my life, it is better to die." Xiang Hongji cried so much that he felt the knife on the table to cut the medicinal herbs and stabbed it into his chest.
"Don't." Bai Lihuan stretched out his hand to block it, and the knife had already stabbed into Xiang Hongji's chest for a few minutes, and blood oozed from the placket.
Baili Huan snatched the knife and threw it out, Xiang Hongji's body was weak and was about to fall, but Baili Huan stepped forward and hugged him in his arms.
"Why are you doing this?" Bai Lihuan blamed himself and regretted it.
Xiang Hongji said like rain: "I just want to have a home, is it so difficult?"
Baili Huan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll keep you, but you have to change your mind and be a good person, and you can't do evil."
"I can do it, I saw that Feng Nanjing was in danger that day, and I only knew that he was a disciple of the Wu Sect at that time, so I didn't hesitate to help him, I can do this." Xiang Hongji nodded frequently.
Bai Lihuan hesitated for a moment and said, "You are also a figure with a head and a face in the Poison Sect, it is not suitable to be my disciple, so you can be my deputy first and help refine medicinal materials."
"I don't have a problem, thank you Brother Bailihuan." Xiang Hongji excitedly wanted to give a salute, and with an "ah" sound, the sharp pain in her chest made her almost fall.
Baili Huan helped her lie on the table, lifted the corner of her clothes and sprinkled her with a knife to stop bleeding.
"Fortunately, the wound is not deep, and you are not allowed to harm yourself in the future." Baili Huan reproached like a big brother.
"I see." Being able to stay, tears of excitement poured out to Honghime.
When leaving, Bai Lihuan gave her a strip of cloth to bandage her wound and told her to go back and wrap it so that all the knife and wound medicine would not be rubbed off.
The next day, the rooster sang, Lu Jin was the first to wake up, and Xiang Hongji next to him was still asleep.
"Sister, sister, it's time to get up." Lu Jin slowly pushed her, and Xiang Hongji didn't know it.
"Lazier than I am." Lu Jin muttered quietly, got up to wash, and went to the front yard to see that the old mother had boiled hot water, so he took the washing water and put it outside the ancient saint's door.
"Brother Gu, the washing water is here." Lu Jin knocked lightly on the door.
Gu Shengchao came out to wash, and accidentally saw the silver bracelet on Lu Jin's wrist, and was immediately stunned: "Hey, when did you buy it, how come I have never seen it before?"
"This one!" Lu Jin raised his hand and said proudly, "Sister Xiang Hongji had to marry me last night, and Jin Lan was a sister of the opposite sex, she gave it to me."
"Do you have any gifts there, do you need me to give her one for you?" Gu Shengchao wiped his face with a wet towel.
Lu Jin snorted, "I gave her the necklace that Brother Gu gave me, and I didn't have your permission, if it's not right, I'll ask her to come back."
Gu Shengchao laughed: "That is already your thing, you have the final say on whether to give it away or not, I don't care."
Lu Jin put his mind at ease, waited for Gu Shengchao to finish washing, poured out the water, and took the basin back to the front yard, and happened to meet Baili Huan.
"Well, is Miss Xiang's injuries better?" Baili Huan hesitated and asked.
Lu Jin was puzzled: "What, she was injured again? Where does it hurt?"
Bai Lihuan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Then it's fine, it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Inexplicable." looked at Baili Huan's departing back
Ying and his brainless questioning, Lu Jin was puzzled.
Returning to the bedroom, Lu Jin saw that Xiang Hongji was still asleep, so she carefully lifted the quilt to check, and sure enough, she saw a bandaged strip of cloth on her chest.
"What do you see?" I don't know when Xiang Hongji woke up and asked softly.
"!" Lu Jin was startled and trembled all over.
"You're scared me to death." Lu Jin saw Xiang Hongji wake up and complained about her.
Xiang Hongji looked angry: "Hmph, you lifted the quilt early in the morning to look at me, are you ashamed!"
Lu Jin hurriedly covered her and explained, "I went to the front yard Baili Brother to ask me if your injuries are better, I was still confused, it turns out that something really happened to the two of you, why don't I know when."
"Is it really Brother Bailihuan who asked you?" Xiang Hongji didn't answer, but asked.
Lu Jin nodded, pouted, and said, "Okay sisters, you still hide it from me in the end, I won't be your sister anymore."
"Good sister, listen to me." Xiang Hongji hugged Lu Jin and told her what happened last night.
Lu Jin was horrified: "You, you actually want to commit suicide in order to stay? Don't even want your own life?"
Xiang Hongji said ashamedly: "I was emotional at the time, and now I am afraid to think about it, but after all, I can have a home, and my wish will come true."
She looked at Lu Jin and said happily, "If I hadn't heard my sister tell me about your experience last night, I wouldn't have made up my mind to do this, let's say, what do you want my sister to satisfy you."
Lu Jin leaned on her body and said to herself, "I grew up in the Boat Gang, and I never left there before, thinking that the whole world was the same. Later, when I traveled with Brother Gu, I realized that there are thousands of differences between heaven and earth, and I just want to learn more kung fu now, and I can't become a burden to Brother Gu."
"Okay, my sister will teach you a kung fu now." Xiang Hongji said and got up and stood in the middle of the room.
"Look at it."
Xiang Hongji said, retreated a few steps back and disappeared from Lu Jin's sight.
