When Senior Sister Jinglan came back, she was indeed carrying a herb and looked very low-spirited. Qiuqiu was lying on the table and raised her head when she heard the noise.
Jinglan was a little surprised: "You haven't slept yet?"
"Senior sister, have you just come back?"
"Well," Jinglan said, "Don't mention it. I went to the southern valley to look for herbs according to the method taught by the master. It took me a long time to find such a plant, and I also encountered a swarm of wild bees. It was really not worth the loss."
Wild bees are not easy to deal with and are highly poisonous. Qiuqiu was a little nervous: "Senior sister, have you been stung?"
"No, almost." Jinglan obviously didn't want to say more. Qiuqiu went out to fetch water for her. Jinglan thanked her and rolled up her sleeves to wash her face with water.
Qiuqiu didn't want to squeeze in with Jingfei anymore. There were two beds in the room, so she went to squeeze in with Jinglan. Jinglan glanced over and smiled: "That girl Jingfei is too dishonest when sleeping, isn't she? You
Come sleep with me."
There was a faint pleasant fragrance on Jinglan's body, which made Qiuqiu feel dazed for a moment.
Ever since Shier left, she has never been so close to anyone else.
I don't know what happened to Shi'er.
The time the two of them practiced together passed through Qiuqiu's heart bit by bit.
Although Shi'er has a facial palsy and talks surprisingly little, when I'm with her, I always feel particularly at ease.
Qiuqiu remembered that there was such a day. After they finished practicing together, it started to rain outside. Qiuqiu took Shier, and the two of them were wrapped in a quilt, clinging to each other, sitting in front of the window and watching the rain.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the rain fell on the roof tiles, dripping from the eaves and forming a line, turning into a row of raindrops.
Shi'er's body also has the fragrance of medicine, Qingxin Dan and Wanmiao Dan. She always carries this kind of medicine with her. Even in the sultry weather of hot summer, Shi'er's body is always cool, and leaning against her is like hugging her.
It's like wearing a water pillow, very comfortable.
Is she okay now?
Why haven't you messaged her yet?
Qiuqiu looked at the ceiling of the tent, she couldn't sleep.
Master doesn't know what's going on either.
Qiuqiu has been practicing hard these days. No one can always guide and look after her, but she herself is working harder than before.
In the past, my master pampered me, my senior sister protected me, and I had Shi'er by my side. The days in Qiuqiu were very relaxed and carefree. I didn't have to think too much about anything. Even if the sky fell, I would have someone tall to support me.
At that time, she was busy with novelty, feeling novel about everything, wanting to inquire about everything, and wanting to see everything. She was also busy enjoying. There are many enjoyments that mortals cannot enjoy, such as riding a tiger and digging for spiritual stones.
Jumping through the mountain streams...
But when no one was around her, Qiuqiu realized that she was so powerless.
The sky became overcast the next day, with a drizzle of rain falling. Jingfei opened the window and took a look, then weakly lowered her head: "It's so annoying, it's winter again."
Qiuqiu was a little strange: "Why did I offend you in winter?"
Jingfei managed to cheer up: "You are right - but you didn't know it when you first arrived at Xiuyuan Mountain. It will always be foggy and rainy and snowy here in winter, so it is also called Wuyuan Mountain.
"
"It's been raining and snowing? How long has it been raining?"
Jingfei counted on her fingers: "It will rain for nearly a hundred days every time. When the snow is at its heaviest, it will bury you..."
One...hundred...days?
Qiuqiu was also dumbfounded. Wasn’t it snowing for three consecutive months?
Although talking about Xue Tingfeng sounds quite poetic, it only refers to occasionally. If it lasts for a hundred days in a row, it is not poetic.
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. It starts from today." Jingfei sighed: "I originally wanted to go for a stroll in the town today...the weather is really unfavorable."
Jingfei was indeed right. The rain in winter is no better than in summer. The rain at this time is extremely cold, making people feel like it is damp and heavy everywhere.
Jingyuan and Jinglan were captured by Changyang Zhenren and went to prepare medicine. Jingfei was too lazy to go at first, but Qiuqiu wanted to go. She was too busy with her art.
Changyang Master didn't take this little fat girl seriously. According to her, this girl with a big head is just starting out. She has good qualifications, but she definitely hasn't learned any skills. How can she be expected to help? busy.
But I didn't expect that she was so orderly and unambiguous in her work. The little Tong Jin'er showed her how to do it, and Qiuqiu followed him to sort the herbs.
Of course Senior Brother Jingyuan does the physical work like grinding medicine. The weighing and dividing of medicine is done by Senior Sister Jinglan. Qiuqiu sits on the small stone pier and picks medicine with Jin'er. They all wear masks on their faces. Use a white cloth cover to prevent sneezing droplets from splashing on the medicine.
In such a long time, Qiuqiu got to know several kinds of medicinal herbs. It was rare for Jin'er to have a companion, and she was also a cute little sister. It was much more interesting than doing such boring work alone. He enthusiastically gave Qiuqiu some advice. The color of medicinal herbs can easily determine the medicinal properties.
Qiuqiu had known some of these things before, but she wasn't so concerned about them at that time.
There are two dishes and one soup at noon. Although the Changyang master does not eat grains, he does not eat meat. Jingfei stays alone in the room eating her snacks. Jinglan wants to bring her to work with Qiuqiu. Son, her head was shaking like a wave. She must have been tired the day before. She had a headache today and had no strength. She needed to rest more.
Jinglan wanted to see why she had a headache, but she refused to let her see.
"You." Jinglan poked her forehead: "You are just lazy. Look at Qiuqiu, you compare with others, she is younger than you, and her time to get started is shorter, but she works harder, I But I heard from Master that she was very outstanding in the last school entrance examination. She is both talented and willing to make progress, so you just wait to be surpassed by others."
Jing Fei was lazily lying on the bed, her whole body shrunk into the quilt, and she twisted a few times: "If she is well, go and hurt her and ignore me."
Jinglan was so angry that she slapped her across the quilt: "You are really heartless. You are my biological junior sister. After all, she is also Senior Uncle Yuxia's disciple. I want to urge you to make progress for your own good. Otherwise, when her achievements far exceed yours in the future, wouldn't you, a senior sister, blush in front of her?"
Jingfei said muffledly across the quilt: "I don't blush - oh, senior sister, just let me be lazy for two days. I get up before dawn every day all year round, and so many fellow disciples are looking at me. I can't even be lazy for a while. Now that I'm down the mountain, just let me rest for a day."
Jinglan had nothing to do with her.
But she was telling the truth. She had to practice hard every day for three hundred and sixty-five days a year on the mountain. Not to mention the master, there were so many brothers and sisters who dared not slack off for a moment.
"Okay, then why don't you get up and have lunch?"
"I ate a lot this morning."
Jinglan knew that she packed a lot of snacks yesterday and was not worried about her.
"Then you rest, I'll go over."
Qiuqiu stood next to Master Changyang and watched him make the medicine. Most of the pills and elixirs had been prepared, and Master Changyang asked them to put them into bottles one by one and label them one by one.
