The next day Li Fulin wore an old blue Taoist robe with a dark gray crane cloak on top, and his hair was neatly combed. How rigid and rigid that look is, it will never make people mistakenly think that he is proud of his spring breeze of.
As a result, he was so well prepared, but Ji Zheng said: "I'm not going today."
Li Fulin managed to avoid his back.
"Why don't you go?"
Ji Zheng glanced at him.
Li Fulin touched his nose.
Well, in fact, he can guess the reason.
There were a lot of people who went there yesterday, and there was a lot of chatter among those who knew each other, you praised me, I praised you, it was all polite talk. Even Li Fulin had to endure this kind of scene with patience and strength, not to mention how uncomfortable Ji Zheng was.
In terms of understanding of Ji Zheng, probably no one in this world has a deeper and more detailed understanding than him. She is the most impatient of this kind of hypocrisy and perfunctory handling. To be able to sit with him until the end of the banquet yesterday is already remarkable.
"Then I'll go by myself..."
Li Fulin should have breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, with Ji Zheng's temper, no one knew when she would turn his back on him, and he took her with him to keep him on guard against causing trouble.
If she didn't go, it would be easier for Li Fulin to go alone. As for whether it is dangerous or not... Li Fulin is confident that he will not capsize in such a place, not to mention the thoughtful arrangements of City Lord Song, even if someone wants to cause trouble, he must weigh his own weight before talking.
But Ji Zheng couldn't say it now, and Li Fulin felt... a little uncomfortable.
He told himself that it was because of uneasiness. As soon as he left, there were only a group of young apprentices left in the family, and Ji Zheng was such an unstable factor, he was indeed a little worried.
"Really not going? In fact, Ruoshuitai's dim sum dishes are pretty good..."
Ji Zheng slammed the door behind her backhand, barely slapping Li Fulin's nose flat.
Li Fulin had no choice but to call his disciples in embarrassment, and told them to look after the house and guard the door. Originally, he wanted to tell him one more sentence, but he swallowed the words on his lips.
As far as Ji Zheng's cultivation level is concerned, if she really wants to cause trouble, she can't stop herself, and the apprentices give it for nothing, so it's better to save your energy and don't waste that trouble.
Li Fulin led a group of juniors to continue to work in the medicine garden. Yesterday the land was almost cleared. Today, the medicine was sprinkled and divided into areas to plant.
The simplest hemostatic grass given to Xiaodong. This is not the same as the hemostatic grass sold in ordinary people's pharmacies. Yesterday he got blisters and scratched his hands, the ointment Mo Chen rubbed on him contained hemostatic herb, the effect of the medicine was surprisingly good. When he got up early in the morning and untied the white cloth wrapped around his hands, both of his hands were intact, and the abrasions and scratches were gone. Ordinary people's ointments are not so effective.
Hemorrhoids are very common and not difficult to grow. Xiaodong dug the soil with a wooden shovel, put the seeds into the pit, and then covered it with soil. The senior brother said that hemorrhoids don't need to be planted too deep, and the soil pit should be dug shallower. He also planted it for him once as a demonstration.
Xiaodong seriously carried a small bag of seeds, and walked forward with her waist bowed while planting.
Yesterday he was too procrastinating and anxious about working for himself, but today he thinks about it. Anyway, it's useless for him to be anxious, and he can't catch up with the senior brothers with all his strength, so he is not in a hurry today. Blindly rushing to the schedule will lead to mistakes in the busy schedule. Not to mention the fact that if you make a mistake and ruin the seeds, the key is that the herbs are all one season. If you make a mistake when planting, the time of the next season will be wasted in vain.
After half the morning's work, Jiang Fan brought hot soup and called everyone to drink tea and rest.
Most of the warming herbs are put in the tea soup, the poured tea soup is reddish, a bit sweet and slightly astringent, and it feels warm and comfortable after drinking it.
Xiaodong finished drinking the tea soup and handed the bowl back to Jiang Fan.
But Jiang Fan turned his head and looked back, not caring about putting away the bowl.
Xiaodong also turned his head.
Well…
Why is Ji Zhenren here
The disciples of Huiliu Mountain were more or less afraid of her.
It was Mo Chen who went over to salute, and before he could speak, Ji Zheng said first, "You guys are busy with your work, so I'll just take a look."
That's the way it is said, but with such a great god behind him, everyone's work is more or less affected.
Xiaodong counted the small bag of seeds that the elder brother gave him.
There are still more than 40 seeds, hurry up and finish planting, and then go to the senior brother to ask for some.
As soon as he worked seriously, he forgot about Ji Zhenren's affairs, dug out shallow pits carefully, put the seeds into the bottom of the pits one by one, and then gently covered them with soil. superior.
Suddenly, his eyes darkened, and a shadow covered his head.
Xiaodong froze for a moment, then raised his head to look.
Ji Zhenren casually looked at him, and then looked at the row of dug earthen pits in front of him.
Ji Zhenren had been paying attention to him for a long time, but the child was so immersed in his work that he didn't notice anything.
It's rare to see such a serious and dedicated child. He also worked carefully, the depths of the pits were exactly the same, and the distance between the pits was exactly the same, as if they were all measured with a ruler.
This earnest effort is not like farming, but like embroidery.
"What did you plant?"
Xiaodong was a little nervous: "Hemostatic grass."
Ji Zhenren stretched out his hand, and Xiaodong handed her the seeds in his hand.
They are indeed ordinary hemostatic grass seeds, nothing unusual.
Ji Zheng returned the seeds to him, along with a small cloth bag.
Xiaodong didn't dare to take it apart first.
"Really, this is..."
"This is a seed I got by accident before, just so you can plant it together."
Ji Zhenren spoke lightly, but this made Xiaodong difficult.
I don't know what kind of herb it is, and I don't know how to plant it, what should I do
He had no choice but to look for the elder brother with the cloth bag.
"Is this given to you by Ji Zhenren?" Mo Chen picked up a seed and looked at it carefully. This kind of seed is about the size of a wheat grain, brown in color, with a bumpy surface and not too smooth, and there is no strange smell when you smell it.
"What kind of seed is this?" Xiaodong asked.
Mo Chen shook his head: "I haven't seen it either."
Even the eldest brother has never seen it, so he must not be able to find it in the herbal medicine guide.
"What did Ji Zhenren say?"
"I didn't say anything, just let me plant it."
I don't even know what kind of seed it is, maybe it's a herb, maybe it's a flower seed, or something else
"Then let's try to plant it first." Mo Chen said.
Ji Zhenzhen's move may not have any deep meaning, even if the seeds she got by accident, she probably doesn't care if the seeds are planted or not.
Having said that, Xiaodong is still a little troubled.
It's really broken, how can he explain it.
Could this be some kind of alien from the Western Regions
Ji Zhenren is not from the Central Plains, they all know that.
I heard that the Western Regions are full of wind and sand, drought and little rain.
Then this seed may also be sun-loving, dry-loving, and don’t like damp and cold places
Xiaodong planted these seeds in a small area next to the hemostatic grass. There are not many seeds, only a dozen or twenty.
Li Fulin came back very early today, before dark.
But he didn't come back alone. Two other people came with him, a man and a woman. The man looked tall and mighty, with a thick beard. To what extent? This... I can't find where his mouth is, it's all blocked by his beard.
As for that woman, it was the exact opposite, she was slender and slender, her face was a little pale, her mouth was bloodless, her appearance was also very delicate, her expression looked indifferent and tired.
These two are obviously Li Fulin's old acquaintances, which can be heard from the words.
When they entered the main hall, the bearded strong man laughed and said, "I heard people said that you didn't go alone yesterday, but you had a companion by your side. Why didn't you see anyone today? Please come out quickly Let's meet Mrs. Lee."
Li Fulin smiled a bit reluctantly.
The two went together yesterday and were misunderstood, but if we think about it alone today, we won’t still be misunderstood, right? Unexpectedly, there were more people asking him why the woman who was with him yesterday didn't go.
This day, Li Fulin couldn't cope with these alone.
As a result, I was still not quiet when I came back.
"Why do you believe those rumors? You don't know if I have a Taoist companion?"
The bearded man didn't buy it: "If you don't have a guilty conscience, why are you so secretive? Is it someone who can't show his face?"
This is a bit too much.
Li Fulin looked displeased: "It's okay for you to make fun of me, don't make fun of other people's reputation at will."
If you really let him know who it is, you must scare him half to death. Back then, he had suffered under Ji Zheng's command.
People are not bad people, but they just have an unpleasant mouth. At that time, he just annoyed Ji Zheng with his unrestrained speech. As a result, his lower body turned into stone and he couldn't move at all. He could only rely on his two arms to struggle and crawl forward. He suffered for three days. After interceding, he sincerely apologized, and Ji Zheng let him go.
He is nothing.
Even trickier is...
Li Fulin glanced at the female guest who had been silent all this time, and really felt a headache.
This girl and he are old acquaintances.
Not only are they old acquaintances, but the two of them almost...
It all happened a long time ago. Li Fulin was frank and frank, and didn't take the past to heart.
But looking at the appearance of the other party, it is obvious that he is still brooding about the past.
Li Fulin would rather fight with someone ten times or eight times, rather than face her awkward attitude that hesitates to speak.
It is impossible to say who was right and who was wrong about the events back then. Although the seniors of Shimen wanted to make him and the disciples of Bixia Villa become Taoist couples, he himself did not mean that at all, and he probably did not cause any misunderstandings on the other side.
What's more, after going through so many ups and downs later, Xianyang Jianmen no longer exists in the world, Bixia Villa is no longer what it used to be, and they are all old people, why should they still remember the embarrassing things when they were young
"Hey, I've been away for so many years. I heard that you have taken in quite a few good disciples? Hurry up and ask them to come out and I'll meet them. At least I, the uncle, have to give them a welcome gift, right?" (to be continued)
