This child, only seven or eight years old, is so precocious and intelligent. She should not treat him as a mortal child.
Yun Ling still wanted to ask about the situation, but Ah Bao stood up, looked at the rising sun over the banyan forest and said, "The sun is getting late. I have to take my rhubarb out for a walk. I'll see you again at noon."
He walked a few steps, then turned back and said, "You have to get well soon and go find something to eat by yourself. My mother said she won't give me any snacks."
Yun Ling nodded.
Since Heaven did not take her life immediately, she naturally wanted to live a good life.
Yun Ling felt a little embarrassed when she thought about how she had to rely on an eight-year-old child to save snacks to support her during this period.
She will definitely repay Ah Bao for her life-saving kindness.
After Abao left, Yun Ling used the peripheral light outside to carefully check his injuries.
She found that there were no scars on her body at all, but why was she in so much pain?
At this moment, she had no spiritual power, her head was hurting so much, and she couldn't see inside. Fortunately, the Taoist robe she wore was in tatters, which made it easier to inspect it inch by inch with her fingers.
When she touched the side of her waist and abdomen that had been severely injured by Wuyi Jimieshai, she felt the sting become even sharper, causing her vision to turn black, and she was about to faint immediately.
After she had recovered for a long time, when she checked her calf again, she also felt an abnormal tingling sensation. Although it was not as heartbreaking as the pain in her waist and abdomen, she was still sweating again and again.
Thinking of the fatal blow to her body, Yun Ling shook her hands and gently lifted it away.
There was no unexpected pain, only a golden circular mark was found above the heart.
If you look closely, it looks like an ungerminated lotus seed.
This is?
Yun Ling thought secretly.
At the critical moment of life and death, she saw the Heart Lotus blooming. Then she fell into a coma and did not know what was going on.
Now there are no scars on the skin of my body, but this lotus seed is the only thing on my body.
But Venerable Kumu didn't say that the lotus seeds in their Chonghua Temple were planted in a piece of land, waiting to take root and sprout.
Have you ever heard that lotus seeds can grow on humans?
I couldn't figure it out. My head, which was already hurting so much, hurt even more.
Yun Ling simply ignored these strange things.
As long as she lives, there is hope.
She closed her eyes and rested her mind.
----------------------------------------
"Wake up, wake up quickly."
As if being shaken to pieces, Yun Ling woke up again.
But it was Abao who came back to look for her again.
"Look, I found a sweet potato for you." He held up a sweet potato as if it were a treasure, and there were a few gray and black marks on his face.
Like a little tabby cat.
"Gugu." Her stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Yun Ling was stunned.
Since the establishment of the foundation, she has not felt hungry for decades. Now that she has no spiritual power, pain and hunger also follow one after another.
This really caught her off guard.
Right now, survival seems to be the top priority.
Abao laughed loudly and said: "You are hungry, eat quickly. There are really no steamed buns today. This sweet potato is also very delicious."
Yun Ling took it and ate it one bite at a time.
This sweet potato is quite large, soft and waxy on the outside, but still a little raw on the inside.
She savored the taste on her tongue and suddenly felt as if she had returned to Gujing Village.
At that time, she took Yun Jin with her and roasted sweet potatoes by the stream. Yun Jin loved roasted sweet potatoes, and he was a boy with a big appetite. He could eat more than three in one sitting. She was always afraid that he would accumulate food and would eat it again and again.
He will only go home if he promises to come again next time.
"Does it taste good? Rhubarb is afraid of fire, so I didn't dare to simmer it for too long. It's a little raw inside. Why don't you eat it?"
Abao's voice brought her back to reality.
Yun Ling looked into his bright eyes, nodded and praised: "It's very sweet and delicious, thank you, Abao."
My belly is warm, my body is warm, and my heart is also warm.
Abao blushed a little. He lowered his head and pushed the bamboo basket on his hand towards her, saying, "If you are thirsty, just pour some water yourself. I have to go home and see you again during dinner."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Yun Ling hurriedly said: "Abao, can you find some clothes for me?"
Now that the Taoist priest's robe is in pieces and he doesn't have the energy to open the storage bracelet, he can only ask the boy in front of him. Fortunately, Abao is still a boy, otherwise he would be a bit unsightly with his naked appearance.
Abao looked her over and nodded.
"It would be great if it had men's clothes!"
There's no guarantee that you won't meet anyone else here, so if you pretend to be a man, you'll avoid causing more trouble.
Abao nodded again: "I understand."
He turned around and left neatly.
Yun Ling: "..."
Is this still a child? She was still thinking about how to explain it to him, but the child seemed to understand and walked away without looking back.
----------------------------------------
At sunset.
Liu Wang is collecting herbs to be dried in the small courtyard.
As soon as the sun sets, the yang energy between heaven and earth will disperse. After a while, dew will appear. Some herbs cannot see dew and will lose their efficacy as soon as they see it.
He is quite busy at the moment.
He didn't react until someone shouted twice at the courtyard door.
When he looked up, he saw the person he had been thinking about day and night.
"Xiu...Xiuzhen? Why are you here?"
He trotted to the door and opened it for her. He looked around but found no sign of Abao.
"Hey, where's Po?" he asked doubtfully.
Unexpectedly, with his casual words, the woman opposite burst into tears, causing him to panic all of a sudden.
Xiuzhen has always been a gentle but not strong woman, and she never sheds tears easily. He saw her wiping the corners of her eyes a few times, all because A Bao was sick.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked: "But A Bao is sick?"
He remembered that A Bao came to him a few days ago and asked him about the awakening medicine. He only thought that A Bao was a child suffering from spring sleep, and didn't take it to heart. Could it be that he really had some illness?
He turned around quickly and rushed into the house, intending to get the medicine box.
However, Lin Xiuzhen ignored the defense between men and women and grabbed him, saying: "Brother Liu, it's not Ah Bao who is sick. It's Ah Bao..."
She put away her tears, looked at the closed doors of the neighbors, and whispered: "Come with me."
Lin Xiuzhen took Liu Wang all the way north.
Liu Wang became even more confused when he saw her holding his hand and passing through the Lin family's door but not entering, and walking straight to the banyan forest.
"Xiuzhen, this forest is a forbidden forest and no one is allowed to go there. What are you doing?"
Lin Xiuzhen let go of his sleeves and stood still in front of the banyan tree.
"Brother Liu, I know you are busy these days, and I didn't want to disturb you. But you also know that I am helpless in this village, so I can only find you..."
"But A Bao went into this forest for fun?" Liu Wang interrupted her, and then comforted her: "Don't be anxious. Although people are not allowed to enter this forest, children in the village often touch it secretly.
It’s not important to go in and pick wild fruits.”
Even if he is allowed to sneak in often to pick some herbs, as long as he is not seen by the Li Zheng family, he goes in to find some game or other things, and everyone in the village understands this tacitly.
"It would be fine if Po was just having fun, but he, he stole things from home and went into the woods!"
