Xiaodong was dumbfounded.
Now if I pretend to be "I don't know what this is", I wonder if I can get away with it
But thinking about such a formidable person as the elder brother, it is better not to show off his cleverness in front of him, lest one of them fails to do well and becomes a fool instead.
"This, this... It caught up by itself, and I just discovered it the day before yesterday."
"Yeah." Mo Chen had no expression on his face, but his hand holding the vine did not relax. That vine was very dishonest, it looked like it was desperately resisting, it twisted and twisted like a live snake, but no matter how twisted it was, it couldn't break free from Mo Chen's grasp.
Looking at it this way, the vine is a living thing, and it has become a spirit.
After twisting it a few times, it may be found to be useless, so it calmed down, obediently, with one end drooping, as if it had surrendered in despair.
"This... it shouldn't be bad, it won't harm us." Xiaodong was afraid that the elder brother would simply cut the grass and root out, although he didn't know where the root of this guy was, it seemed to be just such a bald part.
Mo Chen glanced at Xiaodong.
Apparently Xiaodong didn't care much about this vine, seeing its current situation, he was still a little anxious for it.
"You can keep it, that's fine."
Xiaodong was not happy at first, because he felt that the elder brother only said half a sentence, and there must be more to follow.
"You have to figure out its origin, and even more so, its purpose of following you." Mo Chen is not as confused as Xiaodong. Xiaodong has not even figured out what happened to him until now, and he wants to keep this foreign body of unknown origin by his side. Sometimes Mo Chen really wants to learn that kind of empowerment secret method, so that he can prevent others The belief that he couldn't live without was stuffed into his head.
Xiaodong was quite anxious.
He wanted to explain to senior brother, but he didn't know how to make it clear.
The relationship between him and this vine, from the first time he saw it, Xiaodong had a feeling of intimacy from the heart, just like... as if they have been together for hundreds of years and thousands of years, even though the vine It can't speak, but when it gets close, Xiaodong can even feel what it is "thinking".
This description is a bit exaggerated, but Xiaodong can really feel its emotions. Instinct told him that the vine would never hurt it, and it should be good for him.
But he still doesn't know what the benefits are...
So he wanted to persuade the elder brother, but he didn't have any evidence. Just relying on the words "feeling", "maybe" and "possible" won't work.
Sure enough, Xiaodong listened to the elder brother and said: "Until you fully understand it, you can't let it stay by your side."
Then Xiaodong watched helplessly as the senior brother flicked his fingers and imposed several restrictions on the vines. I don't know if it was Xiaodong's illusion, but he always felt that the green light on the body of the restrained vine suddenly dimmed a lot, and his posture became stiff. When it was first caught by Mo Chen, it was able to toss, but now it is like a broken willow stick, limp and hanging limply, most of its life is dead.
At this moment Xiaodong could clearly feel how scared the vine was in front of the elder brother, and he couldn't even think of resisting at all.
Obviously when I was in Tianjian City at the beginning, this vine appeared to be full of viciousness when it appeared, it was not as obedient as it is now, like an angry little daughter-in-law.
Is senior brother so scary
Uh, but maybe cowardice is also contagious? I'm afraid that the elder brother will be angry, and the vine is close to me, so it's not particularly incomprehensible that it will be afraid of the elder brother.
Although it was banned, it also showed that the senior brother could accommodate this vine to stay on Huiliu Mountain for the time being, at least he would not cut it off, burn it in the alchemy furnace, or throw it outside the mountain gate.
That's great!
"Go to bed early, and follow me to the medicine garden tomorrow morning."
Xiaodong quickly nodded in response, kicked off his shoes and pulled off the thin quilt, covering himself even his head.
Mo Chen looked at it after a while, Xiaodong probably let go of his worries, relaxed, and never fell asleep so fast at ordinary times, but now he is already asleep.
Mo Chen pulled down the quilt for him, exposing his face, tucked up tightly by the corners, and then turned the two shoes in front of the bed and straightened them for him.
After all, Xiaodong is still young and has little experience. Do the math, how long has it been since he went up the mountain to learn from a teacher? But what happened during this period may never be encountered by others in a lifetime. His mind is still the same up to now, and he can still smile every day, which is actually not easy.
Under Mo Chen's gaze, the vine didn't dare to burrow into Xiaodong's quilt any more, and he was aggrieved and coiled up next to the pillow, trying to put on an obedient posture of "very obedient" and "please let me go".
Whoever tries it will know what it feels like to be banned. If it is a person, with a long mouth and able to speak, I am afraid that it will be complaining now.
But in front of Mo Chen, it didn't dare to move. Even if he had a mouth, he would definitely keep it tightly shut, not daring to utter a single word.
Now that Mo Chen glanced at it, it froze there immediately, and didn't dare to relax a little until Mo Chen turned around and left.
Xiaodong slept very soundly, and didn't know what was going on around her after falling asleep. Woke up the next day and it was still raining outside. Xiaodong got up early in the morning and followed the senior brother to the medicine garden.
Just the two of them.
"Senior Brother Jiang, what about them?"
"They are going to tidy up the main hall and the guest courtyard. Master Hu has sent a letter asking his disciples to come to Huiliu Mountain for a temporary stay. They will definitely arrive today and tomorrow."
"Oh, that's to clean up."
Although there are not many people in Huiliu Mountain now, and the family background is also weak, this is all obvious at a glance, but we can't ignore the guests just because of this. Besides, what kind of friendship does Hu Zhenren have with them? When his disciple came, he naturally wanted to make him live more comfortably.
Mo Chen pushed open the door of the medicine nursery.
After a long absence, there is no one to take care of the medicine garden, many herbs have withered, and the ones that are still alive have grown out of shape. For example, the flowers of the herbs that are to be used as medicine have not bloomed, but the stems and leaves have been growing wildly. Xiaodong didn't know what the name of the row of medicinal herbs on the east side was, even if he knew it before, he couldn't recognize it now—they were almost as tall as the trees, God knows how they grew like this.
Mo Chen handed him a medicine basket, Xiaodong honestly carried the basket behind the elder brother.
Some can still grow as usual after taking care of them, but he will directly eradicate the ones that have withered. Mo Chen moved very quickly, he was more than enough to tidy up a large medicine garden by himself, and he cleared a large open space in a short while.
"Plant green grass."
Xiaodong quickly responded, and found a bag of green oil grass seeds from the shelf to plant.
When he was about to finish planting these green grasses, Mo Chen had almost cleaned up the other places, and also took a medicine shovel, and planted the remaining seeds together with Xiaodong. (to be continued)
