Chapter Twenty-Four: The Mysterious Liquid
Chen Yu, who was feeling bored and was going to go to the old house to find medical books to pass the time, was stunned. After so many days, he thought that the gourd would continue to absorb those points of light.
Could it be that the gourd was broken, Chen Yu guessed as he approached the gourd not far away. He approached the gourd and looked at the still gourd carefully, and nothing changed much. If anything, the pale green gourd is now dark green, and the golden runes wrapped on it are brighter.
Chen Yu picked up a dead branch from the ground and poked the gourd, seeing that it had no reaction, he had the courage to pick up the gourd and start with a warm hand. Chen Yu brought the gourd close to his eyes, and carefully looked at it from top to bottom, but still didn't find anything different on the ground.
"Hey...... It seems that so much attention has been spent in vain. Chen Yu sighed and whispered. He put away the gourd, turned around and moved all the tables and chairs in the yard back, and went back to the house to sleep.
For more than half a month, he thought that the gourd would surprise him, but after tossing for so long and nothing, Chen Yu's inner boredom can be imagined. And he felt that he also needed to take a good rest, although energy can drive away fatigue, but it is still not as good as sleep.
......
Chen Yu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. This gourd is like an ant in his heart, and he is itching before he doesn't figure it out. He got up and put on his coat, threw himself on the table, and took out the gourd and examined it carefully.
Time passed minute by minute, and Chen Yu still had no clue. The candle flame on the table flickered, and Chen Yu rubbed his tired eyes and yawned. He slowly twisted his neck and stretched. I haven't moved for too long, and my body is a little stiff.
Chen Yu looked out the window, the sky was slightly bright, the sky was a little less dark, and more indigo. He held the gourd's left hand, pinched the mouth of the gourd with his thumb and forefinger and turned it.
"Huh?" Chen Yu's heart moved, and he was shocked. Just now, he clearly felt the mouth of the gourd move. He turned his head back to his senses, stared at the gourd in his hand, and carefully twisted it three times counterclockwise.
Without any sound, the gourd plug was directly held in Chen Yu's hand.
Chen Yu looked at the strange phenomenon in front of him and swallowed his saliva. Let him soak it with water, burn it with fire, and even smash it with brute force without moving, and now it is the same.
Chen Yu felt that he had made a big fuss, and he was stunned for a night when it was obviously a very simple matter. He brought the gourd to his eyes and squinted into it.
The gourd is full of milky white liquid, a bit like milk. But Chen Yu understands how it is possible for a gourd to produce milk.
A wave of sleepiness hit, Chen Yu didn't understand what the liquid was for a while, and he unscrewed the gourd plug again. Put the gourd back together, the chain sent by Lan Xiang before was broken by him, and he had to take a red rope again and tie it.
Chen Yu couldn't support it anymore, turned around and went back to bed, and fell asleep.
......
Early in the morning, the disciples who delivered the vegetables in the back kitchen put down the food and left. He completely lost his temper with the uncle in the valley, and he had to deliver the food, otherwise the kitchen steward would not be able to spare him. But the worse his attitude is, the later the uncle in the valley comes. In the past half a month, I haven't even come out for a whole day, and I don't know if it's with me.
If Chen Yu hears it, he will cry out for wrongdoing. It's not that he doesn't come out, it's that he is anxious about the gourd and the cultivation of mantras every day, and he forgets it when he can't feel hungry.
At noon, the food delivery disciple took a look at Taniguchi's already cold meal, put away the new meal, put away the early morning dishes and chopsticks, and left.
In the evening, the disciple who delivered the food looked at the meal that was still untouched, and was completely numb. He began to suspect that the old man in the valley might have starved to death. He had to tell the kitchen steward so he could finish his delivery trip quickly.
......
Chen Yu slept soundly this night, and he didn't wake up until the evening, and the fatigue of most of the month was swept away.
"Coo...... "Chen Yu's stomach screamed.
Chen Yu calculated the time, he hadn't eaten for a whole day, and he inevitably felt a little hungry. He calculated the time, if he was lucky enough, the disciple who delivered the vegetables should still be there at this time, and he didn't have time to think about it and immediately got dressed and rushed out of the valley.
For Chen Yu, if he was a little later, he would be hungry all night. This was a huge demand for food, and it was unbearable for him. And because he has been picking up less and less food recently, the disciples who deliver food have already begun to have opinions, and they are even reluctant to send them.
Chen Yu didn't want to offend this person who controlled the fate of his belly. For him, he has been in Qingyunmen for so long, and he is not familiar with anything except the Holy Hand Valley. Maybe you can take time to walk around, familiarize yourself with the environment, and take a look at Han Qing and Han Yu by the way.
Chen Yu thought about it, and after a while, he arrived at the mouth of the valley.
At this time, the vegetable delivery disciple was muttering, and all his complaints about Chen Yu were poured out at this moment. Anyway, there are not many disciples passing by the Holy Hand Valley, and no one will pass by at this moment, and no one will know about complaining. It's just that he just cares about cleaning up, but he doesn't notice that Chen Yu, who came out of the valley quietly, is standing in front of him with a smile on his face, but his smile is a little stiff.
.....
"Hey, this junior brother, don't clean it up. Chen Yu couldn't listen to it anymore, he put away the smile on his face and shouted angrily at the other party.
"Ahh Unprepared, he staggered and sat on the ground.
The meal that had just been packed was knocked over to the ground, and Chen Yu looked a little distressed and frowned slightly. This is what he wants to eat, and half of it is missing.
Chen Yu decided to teach this little junior brother a good lesson, so that the other party would know how powerful he was, otherwise he wouldn't starve to death if he didn't deliver food one day. Second, he also wanted to have a good time, he had been in the valley for too long, and finally how could someone let it go casually.
"I said this junior brother, do you really want me to die, am I really that like a ghost?" Chen Yu asked with a dark face and pretending to be angry.
The senior brother laughed. The younger brother is also because of the senior brother's skills, and he can get close without the slightest sound, it seems that Hai Lao is not only skilled in medicine, but also quite good at kung fu. The disciple who delivered the vegetables turned fast enough, and he not only praised Chen Yu in one sentence, but also complimented Hai Lao.
"I'm talking about ...... before," Chen Yu looked at each other with a playful expression.
"I ......" The vegetable delivery disciple sat on the ground, his forehead oozing dense fine sweat. was speechless and nervous when asked by Chen Yu.
It seems that what he said before has been heard by the uncle of the valley, and this time he is dead. If the defendant had gone to the kitchen steward, his fate would have come to an end.
"Alright, I won't embarrass you. In the past six months, you have eaten three meals a day no less than once, but it has also worked hard for you. Some time ago, I had other things to do in the valley, and sometimes I forgot to come to get food, which made you wait for a long time. But remember, don't take an example!" Chen Yu saw that the goal had been achieved, and he no longer embarrassed the other party.
"Thank you, brother. The younger brother must be the senior brother who will die with his liver and brain. The disciple who delivered the food seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and immediately expressed his heart.
"Just keep delivering meals on time. Chen Yu picked up the only remaining food and turned around to go back to the valley.
The disciple who delivered the food shook his hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead, sighed unlucky, and didn't dare to sit for a long time, so he cleaned up the overturned dishes and chopsticks and left in a hurry.
