Chapter 39: Beads of Stem Juice
When she walked into the villa, she found Pan Yuchen standing far away, and Yu Yao, the maid she hadn't seen for many days, was also standing behind her, and she was still wearing the emerald green skirt and half-arm dress. When Pan Yuchen saw me looking at her, he pouted and shook his head, but his face was also shining with joy; Yu Yao bowed slightly, and her expression was much the same as Pan Yuchen.
I took out the small folding fan from my sleeve, nodded politely and affectionately at the two of them, and walked away.
Go back to your room, sit down at the dresser, pick up the small jewelry box I brought all the way, and open it. The exterior of the jewelry box is unpretentious, the interior design is ingenious and simple, the size of a palm, and there is a lot of space available after the whimsical design, and at this time there are only two hairpins and a flower-shaped hairpin lying inside.
I flicked the wooden hook of one of the setable rings to the right, closed the jewelry box, and flipped it to the bottom. Press your thumb and middle finger on the longest edge and press your thumb firmly to open the bottom. There is still a layer of planks underneath the plank, and in the middle there is a rectangular freestanding plank that looks like it can be opened. The thumbnail hooked up the groove on the top of the small plank and opened, containing transparent beads the size of millet. Pinch out a bead. The beads feel soft and slippery.
Carefully removed a handkerchief from his sleeve, which contained a grass with three leaves. The stem of the grass is very special, thicker than the usual grass, and it looks very full. Quickly pinch off the stem, and suddenly there is transparent juice flowing out of the stem, and a few drops fall on the handkerchief.
With a twist of his wrist, there were two more silver needles in his hand. Carefully insert the silver needle into the transparent bead to separate a space. Hold two silver needles in your left hand and pour the juice into the beads with your right hand. The beads are suddenly stretched open by the juice and become the size of soybeans. I set the grass aside, took out the silver needle with my left hand, and the surface of the beads merged again, so that I could not see the signs of opening it before.
In the same way, another stalk juice bead was made. The sap inside the stem is just used up.
From your waist, you can find a mini wooden box that can hold just enough to hold three stem juice beads, and gently put the beads into it. He tucked the wooden box into his waist.
Wrap all the grass in a handkerchief and hold it in your left hand and hide it under your sleeve. With his right hand, he hooked a small folding fan from his sleeve and shook it out the door.
Passing by the lake where I had met a fisherman, I walked to the lake and squatted down. Open the handkerchief, quickly cover the clover with mud, and wash your hands in the lake. After washing it a few times, I felt a tingling sensation on my hands. Raising my hand to the sunlight, I saw a scratch on my little finger, which had turned red and bulged, and there were a few points of clotted blood in the middle.
Probably when I was using the Snow Wolf Secret, I was too fast and was scratched by the branches and leaves on the road.
It's just that unfortunately, the handkerchief was stained with the sip of the stalk of the clover.
This clover has a nice name: Chitose grass. Chitose, it does not mean that people eat or use it to live to Chitose. Chitose owes its name to its sap, which is the transparent liquid in the stem. This liquid has a strong hallucinogenic effect, and if you accidentally eat the stem juice or are touched by the wound, you will hallucinate, and if there is no cure for three days, you will continue to live in the illusion. Immortality is the dream of many people, so this clover grass is called a thousand years old, and it is precisely because in the illusion that people will think that they have fulfilled their wishes and live to a thousand years old.
I laughed dryly: I don't have an antidote.
Wring out the handkerchief and dry your hands on your clothes. Probably because of my luck, I turned around and saw a small emerald green bird flying leisurely.
"Brother Hong, Brother Hong!" I shouted in a low voice.
The little emerald green bird's sense of hearing was really not as good as its sense of smell, and I shouted for the eighth time, and it finally fluttered. Brother Hong is a bird raised by the killer Hong, and Red said that she loves Brother Hong's emerald green feathers, which is a wonderful match with her code name, and she loves it to the extreme, and she also gives it a name for her family.
Brother Hong tilted his head to look at me and stretched out one of my calves. I pulled out the millennial grass from the soil, wrung it in a small section, washed it with lake water, took out a small box of cinnabar, and poured some into the empty, moist stem. Cinnabar quickly dissolves in the lake water on the inner wall of the stem, making it look a lot like blood. I was satisfied with the stem and put it into the small bamboo tube tied to Brother Hong's feet, patted Brother Hong's head, and signaled that it could kneel down.
Brother Hong found that there were no snacks to reward him, so he screamed twice unhappily, fluttered and flew away like the wind.
What a temper, the same as red.
I shook my head, looked at the wound on my hand again, and felt so sad.
Inquire all the way and find Cheng Yi's residence. Looking at the number and equipment of the guards at the door, people must be thinking about it. The voice in the room was very quiet, and Cheng Yi's coughing sound was quite clear. It seems that Cheng Yi's wound is deep and the treatment is not thorough, which has caused inflammation.
Next to the main entrance of the small courtyard was a servant and a guard.
I took out a small white bottle from my sleeve and said to the little servant: "Transfer the trouble to Manager Cheng, and Shui Xihan of Yunfu will send it with healing medicine." ”
The little guy may have seen me in the past few days, he took the healing medicine, and nodded at me happily: "The water girl has a heart, I will transfer it to Manager Cheng later."
After thanking me, I turned and went back.
Out of everyone's sight, I spun around, kicked my legs, and under the cover of the woods, went around to the back of Cheng Yi's bedroom. The window on the wall opened, and I quietly approached.
Cheng Yi is an old man who has worked hard all the way with Wen Rensi, so the decoration and materials of the room are calm and extraordinary. At this time, Cheng Yi leaned on the bed, looking at his eyes, he was still angry and unwilling, and he was unwilling to lie on the bed, but he couldn't do it.
Wen Rensi sat on a makeshift chair next to the bed, and the high table next to the chair was also temporarily placed, with two sets of teacups on it. As soon as the conversation ended, Wen Rensi held the cup with his left hand and opened the tea with the lid of the cup with his right hand, and tasted a few sips.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and I took out the wooden box around my waist, carefully took out a small bead of Chitose grass stem juice, put it on my finger, and aimed at the water cup of Cheng Yi.
The moment there was a knock on the door, water droplets flew past Wen Rensi's sleeve, and they fell into Cheng Yi's water cup with a small movement.
These beads at the bottom of the jewelry box are made from the secretion of a bug, which is very viscous and easily soluble in water, especially tea or traditional Chinese medicine.
The little guy at the door walked into the room and handed him the white bottle I gave him: "This is the healing medicine sent by Miss Shui Xihan of Yunfu." After saying that, he retired.
Wen Rensi picked up the white bottle, opened it, poured out a small amount of the powder, smelled it with his nose, and opened it with his hands to observe. After a while, he pushed the white bottle to Cheng Yi: "This is indeed Shui's wound healing medicine, I didn't expect to see it again many years later." ”
"Shui has always been mysterious and difficult to find, and it is not easy to get Shui's medicine. Cheng Yi said in a flat tone.
Wen Rensi pushed the medicine bottle again: "I know what you're thinking, this Shui Xihan appeared with the worship post left by the Shui clan back then." The matter of the prayer post is a high degree of confidentiality. ”
"Maybe the worship and the things of the water clan are for a reason. Cheng Yi is suspicious, and it is the same as the legend.
"You already have a cough, take the medicine first, external use and internal use. "Wen Rensi's tone is more like a command.
Cheng Yi followed Wen Rensi's instructions, untied the cloth belt on his hand, sprinkled the medicinal powder in the white bottle, and frowned: "This medicine is really violent." With that, he gritted his teeth and re-tied the cloth belt.
Wen Rensi seems to have experience: "The medicine works quickly. ”
Cheng Yi poured some more medicinal powder into the palm of his hand, swallowed it in one gulp, picked up his cup of water, and poured it several times.
The effect of the medicine is indeed fast, and the effect of the Chitose grass will also be accelerated.
"Speaking of the Shui clan, I'm not afraid of you talking, I have always felt that Mrs. Rongqing is also a member of the Shui clan. Cheng Yi's face was slightly distorted, and it seemed that the wounds on his hands and body had been stimulated.
Wen Rensi had already put down the tea, he waved his hand and said, "You talk about this again, Qing'er will never be the Shui family." ”
"You always don't believe me, when the villa was just built, a wave of people and horses who used hidden weapons came, and there was obviously a hidden weapon outside of our interception. There was only Mrs. Rongqing standing there, and I was so frightened that I thought I couldn't explain it to you. But the hidden weapon disappeared out of thin air, and the unmistakable hidden weapon was gone. Cheng Yi recalled with a frown.
"I know what you're trying to say. But how can Qing'er have such skills? Besides, you are the only one who says this, and they all say that you are wrong. Wen Rensi replied.
"Maybe I'm wrong, why was Xiao Xiang'er taken away by Mrs. Rongqing for two years after she was three years old? Cheng Yi's hand injury seemed to be extremely painful, and he gritted his teeth several times and closed his eyes.
"Qing'er's family wanted to see their granddaughter, and I couldn't leave at the time, although it was a long time, but it was understandable that she arranged it this way in such a turbulent situation. Wen Rensi said.
"Okay, good, for Mrs. Rongqing, you are tolerant and generous. Have you ever wondered if she is still in this world? Cheng Yi took a deep breath, thinking that the effect of the medicine had already exhausted.
Wen Rensi's face was shocked: "What do you mean by this?"
"When Xiao Xiang'er was seven years old, Mrs. Rongqing suddenly contracted a cold, and her physical condition deteriorated sharply. No matter how you look at it, they are the ones who will go. ”
"It was like the wax moon, the weather was getting colder and colder, and she finally didn't get through it, we regret it. It's just one thing I don't understand, why did she suddenly disappear?"
Wen Rensi's expression was painful, his right hand supported his head, and his thumb pressed his temple.
"Such a seriously ill man with no strength disappeared into thin air, leaving only an old hairpin on the windowsill. What is this? Her family picked her up? It makes sense to think that it was her family, their martial arts are so profound, that they can leave quietly in the mountain villa with a patient who cannot move?
"What else do you want to say?" Wen Rensi looked up at Cheng Yi and asked him.
Cheng Yi also stared at Wen Rensi and said, "You have been hiding the identity of Mrs. Rongqing from me, and I have always guessed that she is from the Shui clan. But I didn't expect the man in black to ask you a sentence that day, 'Did Miss Wenren Xiang smell this soul incense?' ’。 ”
"It turned out that Mrs. Rongqing was actually a person from Yanyunjian. You have hidden everyone, and you have concealed the truth that Mrs. Rongqing is the enemy we have been fighting against. ”
Cheng Yi slowly continued: "I've been with you for so many years, and you don't even hide it from me. Why her? What do you like about her?
Wen Rensi shook his head: "Look, you don't understand me either. ”
"Yes, I can't understand that there are thousands of women in the world, and you have chosen the one you should not choose. Cheng Yi's speech suddenly slowed down, and his voice became softer. He shook his head, his eyes narrowed.
"What's the matter, after the medicinal power has passed, you are starting to get tired?" Wen Rensi asked.
Cheng Yi obviously didn't agree with this description, but he couldn't figure out exactly what it felt like for a while, so he nodded and said, "Maybe." Suddenly my thoughts became confused, and now I was suddenly quiet again. ”
Wen Rensi said: "Your spirit has been tense for the past few days, and your body can't bear it. Rest, and when your body is healed, you can think slowly. ”
"Yes, I need to get some rest. For a moment, I seemed to see Mrs. Rongqing again. Cheng Yi said.
Wen Rensi frowned, got up, and finally said to him: "You, you are just too suspicious." ”
Woke up too early, and the pestle almost yawned when he stood still. After waiting for a long time, the medicinal properties did not inspire what I wanted to hear. Instead, a leaf drifted by, making me see it as a purple hem.
A spirit, instantly awake. I looked at the scratches on my hand: probably, I was too nervous and scared myself.
