Chapter 214: Unthinkable (2)
The drizzle on the top of Ningbo has been falling intermittently for two days, and there is no sign of stopping until nightfall.
Zhang He stood in front of the window, listening to the sound of the rain, looking at the rain, thinking that this rain would only have to fall for ten days and a half months. Thinking to himself, he looked back at the medicine jar on the small stove beside him. The medicine to be sent to Mu Xun tomorrow morning has already been simmered, just waiting for the power of this night to force out all the medicinal effects.
Strange to say, since the furnace was put on the stove, this medicine jar began to emit a strange aroma, but this aroma was not the fragrance of herbs, but an aroma outside his cognition, and even in a trance, he actually felt that what was simmering in this medicine jar was not medicine, but a mixture of several spices.
However, since it was the medicine given by the head of the family, it must have a great origin, and he didn't bother much, but smelled this strange aroma and fell asleep listening to the sound of the rain.
The next morning, unexpectedly, it turned out to be a rare good weather, the blue sky was cloudless, the sun was bright and not dry, and the fresh air after the new rain was really pleasant.
Zhang He got up early in the morning, and according to Lin Zongbian's previous instructions, he rushed to the Wanshu Tower with the bowl of decoction that had been simmering all night, and when he came downstairs and was about to push the door, he suddenly heard Mu Xun's voice behind him: "Uncle Zhang is early!"
was called by Leng Buding, Zhang He suddenly shuddered with fright, and the tray in his hand almost turned over on his side, and quickly stopped his figure, turned around, and saw Mu Xun standing a foot away at this time, he said angrily: "I thought you didn't wake up, but I didn't expect to hide and tease me!"
Mu Xun shook his head with a bitter face and said, "Uncle Zhang has wronged me, how can I have that kind of thought." I had just come back from the hut and I met you here... Hey, by the way, how long have I slept this night?"
Zhang He walked up to Mu Xun, handed the tray in his hand forward, and said, "It's been two days." Well, this is the decoction that the head of the house has told me to boil for you, drink it while it's hot. ”
Mu Xun stretched out his hand to take the steaming medicine bowl, leaned under his nose and smelled it, only to feel a strange fragrance, and couldn't help but be curious: "What kind of medicine is this?
Zhang He also shook his head and said with a smile: "The head of the family will do what I tell me to do, and I don't ask what kind of medicine it is." But if you let you drink, then you can drink it, and there must be a lot of benefits. ”
Mu Xun sniffed it again, and thought: "It's the first time I've seen such a fragrant medicine, even if it's a bowl of spices, but... But if you drink such a bowl of spices into your stomach, I'm afraid that a fart will be fragrant, right?" Thinking of this, he was amused by this vulgar thought of his own, and smiled at the moment: "It's really fortunate Uncle Zhang, I'll drink it." After finishing speaking, he drank it all, but in an instant, he bared his teeth and grinned: "Wow, what a bitter medicine!"
Zhang He said with a smile: "Good medicine is bitter, the more bitter the medicine, the better the effect!"
Mu Xun frowned and said: "This medicine smells fragrant, but the feeling in my mouth is more bitter than chewing Coptis raw." ”
Zhang He persuaded: "Don't worry too much, will the head of the family still harm you?" This is probably a good medicine to boost your skills!"
Mu Xun thought about it and felt that it did make some sense, so he asked again: "By the way, what about my uncle and others? I called him at the door several times before, but there was no response. ”
Zhang Hedao: "The head of the family went out to meet friends, counting the time, he has been gone for two days until today, and he should be back today." ”
Mu Xun sighed and said strangely: "Uncle, didn't he go out? Why did he remember to go out to meet friends again?"
Zhang He said: "I'm also wondering in my heart." But, since you came, the head of the family has changed a lot, and I have seen him laugh several times in private!"
Mu Xun's body froze for a moment, obviously surprised by Zhang He's words, and asked, "But I've never seen him smile when I'm with my uncle?" ”
Zhang Heyan Mo Gao said: "This is what you don't understand! The head of the family values you very much, so he will naturally be strict with you." In fact, with such a good nephew as you, the head of the family is very happy!"
After listening to Zhang He's explanation, Mu Xun suddenly felt flattered, couldn't help but raise his hand and scratched his head, and said with a smile: "That's the case! Hehe, I am also very happy to make my uncle happy!"
Zhang Hefei came and patted Mu Xun's shoulder, and said solemnly: "Your uncle and nephew are both caring people, he treats you with affection, and you are also ordinary to him, which is really rare!" After a pause, he said: "The wife and children of the head of the family died early, it is not easy for him to stand alone for so many years, I don't want to have a good nephew like you, you have to care more about him in the future!"
Mu Xun nodded heavily, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhang just doesn't explain, I will definitely treat my uncle like a father!"
Zhang He nodded with satisfaction, then took the bowl in Mu Xun's hand, and asked, "You must be hungry after sleeping for two days, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll get it for you." ”
When he asked like this, Mu Xun also felt that the hunger in his stomach suddenly rose, licked his lips, and sneered: "I want to eat heavy oil eel soup, stewed sea bass, steamed seven coins and eight treasures, fried spring celery in winter snow..."
Zhang He listened to these unheard of dish names popping out of his mouth one by one, he couldn't help sweating on his forehead, and when he saw that he wanted to report it again, he immediately coughed twice and interrupted: "That... Young Master Mu, I don't know if the chef in the house can make these dishes you said, why don't you let the cook give you all the dishes you can handle?"
Mu Xun saw Zhang He's embarrassment, so he smiled and said: "I just said in passing, Uncle Zhang doesn't want to take it seriously, just give me a few side dishes that can fill my stomach." ”
Zhang Hedao: "At the beginning, I boasted to you about how good the chef in the house was, but now it seems that I am blind and arrogant, haha..." ”
Mu Xun said: "Then there is Uncle Lao Zhang!"
After the two said goodbye, Mu Xun went upstairs, he got Lin Zongbian's help, at this time, the "Qingrui Xingjue" has stepped on the threshold of the sixth layer, today's skills are not comparable to the past, and now it is effortless to go up to the top floor.
When he entered the building, he immediately sat down cross-legged, since he woke up, he has been dealing with chores, and has not yet carefully investigated what is in his body.
After some internal examination, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, the cold true qi in the dantian was gone, and now it was full of strong and pure blazing true qi, and this true qi also connected the meridians around his body with the dantian, and the cycle was endless.
