Chapter 16 Qionghua

The days passed by as calmly as water. Ever since the Nine Directions Warlock came to make a scene, Tao Yue'er hadn't seen A Sheng for a long time. Half a month later, the sky was as clear as blue, and the rain covered her lap, and a spring rain washed her face.

Afterwards, spring bamboo shoots sprouted up one after another. Tao Yue'er and A Yin were picking spring bamboo shoots on the back mountain, but they met Hua Ling.

Hua Ling stood under a big stone, clasping his hands together, as if he was praying, and seemed to be performing an invisible ritual. In front of him, beside the big stone, there were several tufts of grass that glowed with bright blue light.

Tao Yue'er exclaimed: "What kind of grass is that in front of Master Ling? It looks like blue fireflies, so beautiful!"

Ayin hid behind Tao Yue'er and looked carefully for a long time, but she didn't see the grass Tao Yue'er mentioned.

Ayin said: "Where is the fireweed? Why didn't I see it?"

Tao Yue'er frowned, pointed at Hua Ling's feet and said, "Don't you see? It's right in front of Hua Ling."

"There is only a big stone in front of Brother Hua Ling, and there is no green grass at all, let alone blue. Aunt Yue'er, are you still awake?"

"..." Tao Yue'er looked at Ayin, she didn't look like she was lying.

Look at Hua Ling again. He bent down to pick the grass and put it on his chest. Then he turned around and glanced at Tao Yuer and the others intentionally or unintentionally, and then walked away without saying a word.

When going down the mountain, Ayin was carrying a small basket, which contained the bamboo shoots she had picked. Tao Yue'er was carrying a large basket, which contained everyone's dinner.

Ayin jumped up and down, and her two braids looked very cute. Tao Yue'er looked at her back and found that the sores on her neck had spread to her head, and there were no more hairs left on the back of her head. However,

There was always a smile on her face, and she didn't feel sorry for herself at all.

"Are you happy?" Tao Yuer asked her.

"I'm so happy!" Ayin nodded and said as he walked: "They said we have the plague and will infect others, so we are not allowed to go out. Since I came here, I have never left the yard. Today I came to the mountain to pick.

Spring Bamboo Shoots, this is my first time going out, I’m so happy!”

"Really?" Tao Yue'er felt sour inside and couldn't say anything to comfort her.

On the contrary, Ayin comforted her repeatedly: "This is an epidemic center under the jurisdiction of the Salesian Bureau. We all know that we are unlucky people, and we don't want to go out and harm others. You don't have to feel sorry for us. You can find no one around.

The land is great for taking us out to dig wild vegetables."

Tao Yue'er felt warm inside.

In the past, I dug wild vegetables for others. Although I enjoyed it at the time, looking back now, it felt a bit silly. But now that the skill of digging wild vegetables can make them happy, it has become something that can make me happy. Unknowingly,

, those painful memories have become a little pleasant...

She is such a weak person with no requirements for life and no principles.

But so what?

She was happy, that's fine.

When Tao Yue'er returned to the kitchen, Hua Ling was also there. He was sitting at the table holding a jar and making things.

The air was filled with a honey-like fragrance, sweet and greasy, and very delicious.

Tao Yue'er saw a faint blue halo lingering on Hua Ling's fingertips. Even though his knuckles turned white due to exertion, they were still beautiful. Under the blue halo, they looked even whiter.

"What kind of grass is in the jar?" Tao Yue'er put down her basket and couldn't help but ask him.

Hua Ling did not answer Tao Yue'er. His eyes were looking ahead without focus, his hands were repeating the action of pounding medicine, and his mind seemed to have flown to the sky.

Tao Yue'er didn't pursue the question. She knew Hua Ling's temper and was used to being cold. If she pursued him, she might annoy him, so she took the bamboo shoots and went to the well, and then asked A Yin to bring the children over.

Peel the bamboo shoots.

Half an hour passed, after the bamboo shoots were peeled and washed, when she returned to the kitchen, Hua Ling was still sitting there, wondering what she was thinking.

Tao Yue'er sliced ​​the bamboo shoots, washed the rice, and then lit a fire to cook a pot of porridge. The porridge was fragrant, mixed with the sweet smell in the air, making people's bones soften.

Tao Yue'er unconsciously took a few deep breaths and felt relaxed physically and mentally. At this time, Hua Ling still didn't move much. She was worried that something had happened to him, so she walked over, pushed him and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"

Hua Ling looked up at her and shook her head in a daze: "It's okay." He seemed to have noticed Tao Yuer only now, and while speaking, he quietly moved the jar away.

Tao Yue'er was curious and asked again: "What kind of grass is this? Why is it blue?"

"Can you see it?" Hua Ling suddenly raised her head, a little surprised: "Can you see what's in here?"

Tao Yue'er nodded: "Yes, what is this?"

Hua Ling was silent for a moment and said: "A Sheng suffered some injuries in yesterday's fight. Although his life is not in danger, he still needs some medicine."

"Isn't she already dead?" Tao Yue'er thought of Ah Sheng's disheveled hair, and her teeth began to chatter again. She couldn't help but frown.

Hua Ling: "Precisely because she is dead, it is more difficult to maintain life than a living person. In order to keep her alive, it is not an easy task."

"This...can keep her alive?" Tao Yue'er said, pointing to the blue juice in the jar.

Hua Ling nodded and said slowly: "The juice made from the crushed rhizome of Qionghua can be applied to the forehead to protect the body from decay."

"There is such a strange thing in this world! How come I have never heard of it?" Tao Yue'er said in surprise.

"There are still many things you haven't heard of. You can learn them slowly in the future."

"Well..." Tao Yue'er nodded, feeling that what he said made sense.

Somehow, since arriving at the epidemic center, everything seems completely different from the world she lived in before.

In the past, she would never believe that there were ghosts in this world. But here, she saw it with her own eyes.

In the past, it was impossible for her to know what Qionghua was, she had never been in contact with Jiufangliao, let alone what kind of group Jiufang Warlocks were, but here, everything was so strange, yet so natural.

It's so natural that she seems to believe whatever Hua Ling says.

No matter how bizarre something happens, as long as she is by Hua Ling's side, as long as he is calm and steady as a rock, then she will most likely think it is normal. There is a solution to everything, don't be afraid...

Tao Yue'er suppressed her surprise and asked, "So, this is medicine for dead people?"

"Yes." Hua Ling nodded, then carried the jar to the small dark room.

Tao Yue'er watched him leave and had no intention of following him. Although she was not afraid with Hua Ling around, when she thought of A Sheng, she still felt that she was scary and fierce. If they disliked each other, it was better to stay away from each other.
