Chapter 578: Midnight Dreams
The eighty-percent full medicine jar made a soft sound on the stove, and the bitter medicinal fragrance kept coming out, which made the peasant woman who was squatting beside the stove and gently stirring her eyebrows slightly, obviously not smelling good.
However, although the medicine is bitter, the energy contained in the medicinal fragrance is not to be underestimated, her white face as white as jade is smoked red, and the whole body is warm, as if there is a heat flow in the body, just the evaporated impurity gas has such an effect, you can know how precious the medicine in the medicine jar is.
Until the sound of "puff" sounded, the frequency of the woman's instigation of the fan gradually decreased, and then the movement from the medicine jar gradually decreased, and when it completely calmed down, a more intense medicinal fragrance spread, and the old man sat in the yard and smelled the bitter smell, frowned, and walked out of the yard.
The woman put down the fan, got up and took a damp cloth and covered the top of the medicine jar, blocking the insignificant gaps, until half a pillar of incense time, she carefully opened the lid of the medicine jar, poured the decocted medicine into the prepared bowl, and then took the medicine bowl to a room in the house.
When the old man came back, it was almost the time of Shen, and it was exactly two hours before the medicine was decoctioned, and now it was the time of the year, and it was time to feed the young man to drink the medicine.
There are rules for this time, and it must not exceed the hour, otherwise the demonic energy in the young man's body will attack, and even if he is still unconscious, he will go crazy, just like someone controls his body, then it is not easy to control.
Walking into the room with the medicine, you can see a young man lying on the bed at a glance, that is the young man who was eroded by demonic qi brought back by the old man of the hat half a year ago, he has been lying like this for half a year and has never woken up.
This room was originally her boudoir, and in order to facilitate her care, the teenager was placed in it, and she placed a small bed, side by side, not far away.
However, although it is a women's boudoir, the facilities in the room are very simple, in addition to two beds and a wooden table and a chair, there is only a dresser by the window, but there are only some combs and other basic indispensable items, as for the outside world, all kinds of rouge gouache and hair accessories and the like are completely absent, simple, but it gives people an incomparably fresh and elegant feeling, quite warm.
"It's time to drink the medicine!" said the woman, and then sat gracefully beside the young man's bed, knowing that he could not hear, let alone respond, but she did so, in case he awoke suddenly, she would not be frightened.
Looking at the young man in a coma, although his face was pale and bloodless, there was still a palpitating demonic qi entangled, he could still see his original plump spirit like jade, his face was like a knife, and although his eyes were closed, she seemed to be able to see the indifferent and fierce eyes when he opened his eyes, but the tightly wrinkled sword eyebrows were swearing, what kind of pain he was suffering.
The woman stretched out her hand to gently smooth him, but as soon as the jade hand left, the two sword eyebrows immediately wrinkled together disobediently.
"Let's drink the medicine first. She put one hand around the back of the boy's head, let him get up slightly and lean on the fragrant shoulder, and with the other hand brought the medicine bowl in front of him, and the hand that went around the back of the boy's head carefully scooped up half a spoonful of the medicine with a spoon and blew it gently, so that the heat dissipated a little and then moved to the boy's mouth.
The young man's lips opened automatically, and the bitter medicine smoothly entered his mouth, and then with her help, the medicinal power flowed throughout his body, and then he continued to repeat the action just now and fed a spoonful of medicine.
It wasn't until the bowl of medicine was fed that the black demonic energy on the young man's face faded, and the frowning brow finally relaxed, as if he had fallen into a peaceful sleep.
The woman carefully helped him lie flat again, her eyes fixed on his angular face, inexplicably sad.
"Although we have been together for half a year, you have never opened your eyes to see me once, you have never spoken a word to me, you don't even know that I exist, and I don't know anything about you, not even your last name, let alone anything else. ”
She sighed faintly, and then smiled again: "But it's okay, grandpa and I will definitely cure you, and when you wake up, we will be able to officially meet." ”
"I think we will like each other and become good friends, it's really amazing to think about it, I never left the enchantment, but fate sent you to me, is this fate?"
The woman sat next to the young man, talking to herself, for so many years she was able to talk to only one grandfather, although she didn't feel bored, but now there was one more person to talk to, even if it was just her talking to herself, the young man couldn't hear it at all, it was a very pleasant thing.
After a long time, she seemed to finish everything she wanted to say, and said to the young man with a smile: "Okay, don't disturb your rest, I will continue to study pharmacology with my grandfather, and I will come to see you after I finish studying." ”
Originally, her pharmacist course was placed during the day and cultivation at night, but now there is one more person, and the old man has to go up the mountain to collect medicine during the day, so he puts the course at night, and martial arts cultivation takes up sleep time.
"If you say ......"
The woman just got up and was about to leave, her footsteps froze suddenly, and her pretty face surged with an indescribable look, and she suddenly looked at the young man, just now, he seemed to say something?
She wasn't sure if it was the illusion that she wanted the boy to wake up too much, so she sat back down, her delicate body almost pressed against him, her eyes fixed on the face that was close at hand, her ears pricked up, and she listened intently.
However, after a long time, she did not hear any more movement, the young man was still unconscious in a coma, she was straightening up with a disappointed face, thinking that it was really her own delusion, the young man's lips trembled slightly, and an extremely small dream cry came into his ears.
She was stunned for a moment, the disappointment on her face disappeared, and was replaced by a deep look of joy, she had been listening intently, the illusion could not have happened a second time, although she could not hear what the boy had said, but she could be sure that he had really spoken.
Although it was just a dream, the boy didn't wake up, but this is an unexpected joy that has never been seen in half a year, which shows that his situation is improving, as long as he persists and finds the right way, there will be a day when the boy will really wake up and speak!
With a light of confidence that she had never seen before, she leaned back closer to the boy and listened, for the first time the boy had spoken, not to herself, and she wanted to hear what he had said.
This time she waited longer, so long that she felt a little sleepy, but she didn't give up, she almost missed it before and thought it was just an illusion, so she waited.
"If you say ......"
Sure enough, the emperor lived up to his wishes, she still waited for it after all, and a dream voice floated out of the young man's slightly trembling lips and entered her ears, this time she heard clearly, he was calling a person's name.
"If you say...... It sounds like a girl's name, I don't know who he is, and he is so concerned. The woman chewed on the name, her eyes contemplative, and at the same time faintly sour.
This young man, in order not to fall into a demon, not to be controlled by the magic sword, dared to burn with the magic sword and jade, and even did not hesitate to explode his soul, in this case, when he was asleep and suffering from the erosion of demonic energy, he was still worried about a girl, this girl must be very important to him.
But this girl is not her, this is what it should be, before the teenager fell asleep, they were people from two worlds, they didn't know each other, how could they care about her?
However, the woman still felt very uncomfortable, when he had an accident, the girl named Ruoyan didn't know where she was, it was her grandfather who stopped his self-destructing soul in time, and brought him back here, collecting medicine every day, treating his illness and healing, and she also took care of him day and night, decocted medicine for him, fed him medicine, talked to him, and looked forward to waking him up as soon as possible, and the two could become good friends.
However, he didn't know all this, he didn't know who she was, but he was worried about another girl in his heart, and even called that girl's name in his dreams, she felt as if something that originally belonged to him was snatched away by someone else, and her heart was panicked.
"What's wrong with me?" she sensed that something was wrong with her emotions, and she should have been happy that the patients she took care of day and night had made new improvements, but in fact, in addition to being happy, she was more sad and angry, which was obviously not normal.
It's just that she has lived in this enchantment since she was a child, and she has never been in contact with anyone except her grandfather, so she doesn't agree with the world, so she can't understand why she is like this.
Obviously she is such a kind person, how can she have such strange emotions?
"No matter, tell grandpa about the situation first, maybe it will help grandpa. She twitched her nose slightly, calming down, or maybe she didn't want to stay in the room anymore and would hear the name of the young man's dream again, she quickly got up and walked out of the room.
The woman walked out of the yard and saw her grandfather sitting by the river fishing, motionless, like a sculpture.
The woman stepped forward with a light step, the long line reaching into the water but there was no bait, and the old man with the hat was recuperating with his eyes closed, and she knew that her grandfather was contemplating, so she held back the words that were about to be spoken, and sat down by the river.
"Why did you come so late?" asked the old man with his eyes closed, no matter how light his steps were, it was obviously impossible to hide his perception, and he knew that she was coming.
The woman subconsciously looked at the sky, and realized that she had been in the room for so long unconsciously, and now the time was about to pass.
"Grandpa, he just spoke. She whispered.
"Oh?" the old man opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise, the little guy actually spoke, did he wake up?
It shouldn't be!
"He didn't wake up, he just let out a dream. She said in a low voice.
"I see, it's not strange that it's just Mengyao's words, what did he say?" said the old man in the hat with relief, but also curious.
As soon as he finished asking, he took a closer look at his granddaughter and said in surprise: "Yu'er, why are your eyes red?"
