A few days later, Bai Ling realized that he couldn't do things like picking rice ears...

It's nothing else, it's because Bai Ling's skin is too fragile. Fair skin can't stand the sun all day long, and it's completely sunburned. Not only the face, but also the entire neck and arms are all red in patches, which is a bit scary.

Even Bai Ling didn't know that after he became a mortal, even his skin could become so fragile that he couldn't bear this kind of stimulation at all. Obviously, I didn't feel it at all for a day or two before.

Come to think of it, maybe it was because it was still cloudy a few days ago, it would be overcast from time to time, and the temperature was not that high. Unlike the past few days, the sun is really hot and the temperature has risen a bit. The whole sky was clear and cloudless.

After seeing Bai Ling's sunburn, Li He didn't want Bai Ling to go out to pick rice ears. You must let Bai Ling cultivate at home obediently, and wait for him to come back. Not only that, but also invite Uncle Zhang, one of the few doctors in the town, to come and show him.

However, Bai Ling did not agree to these.

During those years in the demon world, Bai Lingben had read a lot of books on pharmacology. He has a thorough understanding of some common or rare medicinal herbs. In terms of treating injuries and catching diseases, he still has a little understanding.

Now it's just a small sunburn, Bai Ling naturally doesn't want to bother others and waste money.

It's better to go to the back mountain by yourself, gather some herbs, and be self-reliant.

Having made up his mind, Bai Ling packed up the medicine basket, added some clothes for himself, and prepared to go out. Before going out, he greeted Li He and told him that he would be back soon.

Li He was a little worried that Bai Ling was alone, and wanted to go up the mountain with him to collect herbs. But Bai Ling rejected it.

"Don't worry, Brother Li He. I'm just going to the outskirts of the mountain to pick some simple herbs, nothing will happen."

Li He looked at Bai Ling, still a little worried and said, "Why don't I go with you?"

Bai Ling said: "Oh, brother Li He! I'm not a child anymore, I just go up the mountain to collect medicine, you don't need to worry about me so much! Besides, don't you have other things to do today? If you don't go to earn money to support your family , then we both have to starve to death~"

Hearing this, Li He had no choice but to give up and said, "Okay, Xiaobai, remember to go early and return early, and be careful on the road. After all, the mountain road is steep and very difficult to walk..."

"Alright! Alright! I know!" Bai Ling interrupted Li He's remaining words, "I'll be back soon~"

After speaking, he ran away in a hurry...

"Little Bai! It's cool in the mountains, come back and add some clothes before you go..." Li He looked at Bai Ling who was running fast, and shouted helplessly.

Bai Ling replied to Li He from a distance: "I'm wearing it! Brother Li He, you should go out early too!"

After hearing Bai Ling's response, Li He was relieved. After returning to the house, I tidied up a bit, and I was ready to go out.

...

In autumn, the mountains still look a little luxuriant and green. It's just that in this mountain, there will always be a cool wind blowing past, making people feel extremely cold, and they can't help shaking their bodies.

Bai Ling tightened the clothes on her body, and couldn't help sighing, fortunately, she added an extra dress, so she didn't come over so stupidly. Otherwise, the gloomy wind in the mountains might freeze him to death.

After all, he is not a monster now, let alone the inner alchemy of a monster. Yes, there is only this ordinary human body that cannot withstand the cold wind.

There is always a little bit of damp dew on the muddy ground in the mountains, and it is a bit soft to walk on, which is not very exciting. And some places are even more steep and steep, and it is very difficult to walk. If you are not careful, you may fall and fall.

Because this is the first time for Bai Ling to go up the mountain as a human being, he often doesn't know what to do. This somersault of wrestling did not eat less.

Not long after, his whole body was covered with mud, and he looked quite embarrassed.

However, Bai Ling was completely unaware of this. After all, he has come so far along the way, but he has harvested many useful medicinal materials.

The small medicine basket was not particularly big, but it was filled to the brim.

A day passed by quietly. Even Bai Ling himself didn't know that he had wandered around this mountain for so long. I was even so excited that I forgot to eat and sleep, and forgot to eat and drink.

He weighed the heavy medicine basket behind him, and then looked at the sky. Bai Ling knew that he must have been wandering around this mountain for a long time.

If he doesn't go back, I'm afraid Li He will be worried.

Looking around, Bai Ling thought that he must have walked deep into the mountains. If you don't go back quickly at this time, I'm afraid the sky will be dark.

In this way, Bai Ling didn't want to stay here for a long time, but immediately packed up his things and rushed down the mountain at a brisk pace.

But when he didn't know where he was going, Bai Ling suddenly smelled a faint fragrance. The fragrance is fragrant and tangy, but it is very quiet and pleasant. In this deep mountain, it looks elegant and charming.

As soon as Bai Ling smelled the fragrance of this flower, he knew it very well. This floral fragrance can only be sweet-scented osmanthus. only. He did not expect that there would be such a fragrant sweet-scented osmanthus in this mountain. If it weren't for the fact that it was getting late today, Bai Ling would have followed the scent and went to check it out.

After all, the wine, cakes and sugar made from this fragrant and elegant sweet-scented osmanthus are all very delicious.

But today I'm afraid it won't work...

Bai Ling continued to smell the aroma, and temporarily stopped thinking about it, and hurried down the mountain.

...

After Bai Ling went down the mountain, the sky was completely dark. In the distance, there was only that small courtyard, standing on the soil slope, burning with a faint and warm light, guiding his way home.

From a long distance, Bai Ling could see Li He standing at the door, waiting anxiously.

It was only when he saw his figure that Li He showed joy and rushed over in a hurry.

Li He quickly approached Bai Ling, unloaded the medicine basket for him very naturally, and said in a helpless tone with a hint of blame: "If you hadn't come back now, I would have gone up the mountain to find you." .”

Bai Ling scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Oh, seeing so many useful herbs on the mountain, I accidentally stayed on the mountain for a while longer. Who knew that it was already so late when I came down the mountain..."

Said, Bai Ling playfully pouted at Li He, signaling him not to worry anymore.

Li He looked at Bai Ling's cute playful look at him, but he had no choice but to shake his head with a smile and said, "Let's go, the food is going to be cold, if you don't eat, it's going to be really cold..."

"okay!!"

The two walked side by side again, talking and laughing as they entered the room.

After dinner, Bai Ling discussed with Li He again, asking Li He to try making osmanthus candy and osmanthus cake. As for myself, I can brew some high-quality sweet-scented osmanthus wine, and I can sell it next year.

Li He immediately agreed to Bai Ling's proposal. It's just that he has never made osmanthus cake, so he has to go to the pastry chef in the town to learn from others and ask for advice.

On the other hand, sweet-scented osmanthus candy is very convenient and handy to make, not too difficult. It's just that in the past, Li He used the wheat exchanged by others to make maltose directly, but he didn't think too much about it.

Having made up his mind, Bai Ling planned to go to the mountain again tomorrow to pick more sweet-scented osmanthus flowers, so as to prepare for himself and Li He.

But this time, Li He wanted to go with Bai Ling no matter what he said, he was worried that Bai Ling went up the mountain alone. Seeing that she couldn't beat him no matter what, Bai Ling had no choice but to give up. I can only let him go up the mountain with me tomorrow.

After the two discussed it, Li He hurriedly went to boil water for Bai Ling.

Bai Ling, on the other hand, grinded the fresh herbs that were just collected today, ground them into juice, and evenly applied them to his arms and neck.

It's just that the piece on his back, no matter what he does, he can't touch it. In desperation, Bai Ling had no choice but to call Li He over.

"Brother Li He, have you boiled the hot water yet? If it's done, come over and help me. I really can't get enough of that herb..."

Li He, who was heating hot water in the kitchen, immediately responded when he heard it: "It's ready, I'll be right over..."

Li He washed his hands with clean water, wiped them with a clean cotton cloth, and hurried over.

The room, which was originally quite spacious, was filled with fresh herbs, and after being crushed into juice, it had a unique fragrance of herbs. The whole taste has a hint of astringency, but it is not annoying at all.

And when he saw Bai Ling the next second, he immediately felt his whole body's blood welling up, and his eyes stared straight.

At this moment, Bai Ling was sitting on a small wooden stool. The entire upper body, □□. The fair and beautiful skin was fully exposed like this, which made Li He see everything. Whether it is the collarbone with beautiful lines or the slender waist with a little abdominal muscle, Li He feels that his eyes are a little dazzled.

"Then... that... Xiaobai... don't you wear clothes..." Li He said while trying to avoid Bai Ling's naked upper body.

Bai Ling slowly applied the medicinal juice made from the herbs to his arm, then looked at Li He and said with a smile, "This way is more convenient, and it won't get on your clothes."

As he said that, he handed the medicine jar to Li He's hand and said, "Brother Li He, come and help me, I really can't touch the part on the back of my neck."
