The two of them walked in tandem. Pei Wanying was a lady, well-informed and courteous, and there was no mistake in etiquette. She was half a step away from Li Hong and walked towards the place full of tents.
"How many years have you been studying medicine with the old immortal?" Li Hong asked sideways, a little at a loss for words.
"It's been five or six years, but I used to read a lot. Later, after my father went to work in the Western Regions, I had some free time and could move around more. Occasionally, I would accompany the master to identify some medicinal herbs." Pei Wanying faced Li Hong, Although I felt a little uneasy, I was still able to speak calmly and gracefully.
"So it's longer than the time I've known him. Then Pei Xing... I'm sorry, that's wrong, then... your father is not here, are you and your mother living together in Chang'an?" Li Hong almost spilled the beans again. .
Seeing that he almost called out her father's name again, Pei Wanying couldn't help but look at Li Hong angrily. Seeing that Li Hong quickly changed his words, she couldn't get angry and had to hum as an answer.
"Do you really like to treat illnesses and save people? Or do you just like medicine?" Li Hong asked, standing on the outskirts of the people's gathering place, watching the "Bai Wuchang" coming and going.
Pei Wanying couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then asked: "Is there any difference?"
"Of course there is a difference. If you like to treat diseases and save people, you are just like the pharmacies and doctors in the city. They are paid or passive and just solve the pain of the patients. If you like medicine, you are like the old gods, although they do not always take care of the people's health. I care about disease and health, but always think about how to cure diseases and rejuvenate with magic. I am willing to make some sacrifices to develop and formulate solutions to some diseases that cannot be solved now. I do not do it myself, but I can make more efficient achievements. " Li Hong thought for a long time, and he didn't know whether such specious words could help Pei Wanying do ideological work, let her understand the macroscopic treatment of diseases and save lives, open the first hospital in Datang for himself, and find an ideal talent.
Pei Wanying's tilting her head to think about the problem seems to be a habitual action, not a pretense of cuteness.
At this time, he tilted his head and glanced at Li Hong again, biting his seductive red lips with his jade-white teeth, not very obvious dimples appeared on both sides of his cheeks, and his eyes flashed brightly, saying no Beautiful and moving.
"Well... If we distinguish it like this, I naturally hope to be as compassionate as the master and to get rid of diseases for the people of the world. Of course, if I can also take care of treating diseases and saving people, it would be better to be like the master." After Pei Wanying finished speaking, He felt as if he was overestimating his abilities, and then he smiled sheepishly.
Li Hong looked at the dimples on Pei Wanying's cheeks, which seemed to be like a lake engraved in the bottom of his heart, with ripples rippling layer by layer, making him couldn't help but follow the smile.
"It is said that after death, after passing through the gate of hell, people embark on the road to the underworld. On both sides of the road to the underworld blooms a kind of flower, but only the flowers but no leaves. The flowers and leaves are missing, and we miss each other and cherish each other forever.
At the end of Huangquan Road there is a river called Wangchuan River, and there is a Naihe Bridge on the river. There is a woman named Meng Po waiting there, handing a bowl of Meng Po soup to everyone who passes by. Anyone who drinks Meng Po soup will forget all the ties in this life and enter the six realms without worries. In reincarnation, one reincarnates as a human being, as an immortal, or as an animal if one has done too many evil deeds in the human world.
Meng Po Soup also has a name: "Forgetting Love Water". Once you drink it, you will forget your past and present lives. All your love, hate, and ups and downs in your life will be completely forgotten with this bowl of Meng Po Soup.
The people you care about in this life and the people you hated in the past life will not be able to meet each other in the next life. Just like the flower on the other side, the flowers and leaves are staggered and will never see each other again.
But there is a part of me that is unwilling to drink the Meng Po soup because the past and present lives are too important and I can't bear to forget the one I love. "
"Then what should we do?" Pei Wanying listened fascinated, looking at Li Hong's deep eyes, she said a little anxiously.
Li Hong was stunned for a moment, looking at Pei Wanying's expression that looked a little embarrassed for interrupting him, and the dimples on her cheeks appeared again.
She smiled and said, "Meng Po had no choice, so she had to agree to them. But she made some marks on these people."
Li Hong looked at the dimples on Pei Wanying's cheeks, and Pei Wanying looked at Li Hong's deep eyes, immersed in the story.
"This mark of Meng Po is to leave a pair of small dimples on everyone's face, but those who do not drink Meng Po soup must jump into the Wangchuan River and suffer the torture of flooding and burning for thousands of years. Only then can he be reincarnated again. After reincarnation, he will take the memory of his previous life and wait for the lover who is looking for him with dimples. "Li Hong had to change the last sentence of the story to waiting instead of looking for his lover. If that were the case, how would he feel about it? If you don't tell her to find your lover quickly, then you won't have anything to do!
But it was obvious that someone was overthinking it. The lovely person in front of him at this moment was still immersed in the story, and her beautiful eyes were looking blankly into the distance.
Pei Wanying's red lips slightly opened, and she couldn't help but read: "I want to know you, and live forever. There are no mountains, no mausoleums, no rivers, no thunder in winter, rain and snow in summer, heaven and earth are harmonious, so I dare to be with you."
Li Hong originally just wanted to remind her that because you have dimples, I am the one who came to find you over a thousand years, but unexpectedly, the woman's mind wandered to love stories.
But then again, who doesn’t know how to recite poetry? Listen, here it comes.
"I don't know how to think deeply, but I only know the suffering of reincarnation. If you change your face, you won't leave the old people." Li Hong winked a little. Although the poem was not very good, she should be able to understand it, right
Pei Wanying heard Young Master Li next to her suddenly composing a poem seriously. After careful consideration, how could she not know that he was trying to wake her up.
But I'm not familiar with him. We just met him for the first time today. How could he be the person he's looking for
"I didn't expect Mr. Li to compose poems. Although Wanying doesn't understand, she still thinks this poem was composed by Mr. Li on the spur of the moment, right?" Pei Wanying continued to pretend not to understand the style and asked with a smile.
"Haha, you're right. I'm not good at writing poems, but I'm very good at telling stories. If Miss Pei likes to listen, I can tell you about it when I'm free? You can listen to whatever subject matter you want." Li Hong looked at Pei Wanying He was much more relaxed than when we first met, he said with a smile.
Pei Wanying smiled, then lowered her head and stopped talking. This man's mind was flexible and cheerful. She pointed out that some of his poems were questionable. She originally thought he would be unhappy, but she didn't expect this man to laugh and pass away. .
Walking again among the tents full of people in Lantian, Pei Wanying looked left and right from time to time. Her expression was focused, even more serious than when she just listened to Li Hong's dimple legend.
Li Hong stayed with him all the time, and Yang Wu followed behind with a bucket of water. Just as he walked around a tent, he heard a voice complaining: "I asked you to come over with a bucket of water. Why did you just come? If you don't come again, what will you think?" You fell into the river and drowned."
"I'm sorry, I just had an accident." Pei Wanying was not angry and turned around to take the bucket from Yang Wu's hand.
"Miss Pei, let me do it." Yang Wu walked around Pei Wanying with the bucket and handed it to a gentle young man at the tent.
Judging from the blue robe and the book in his hand, he must be a scholar.
Li Hong was very curious, pointed at the scholar, and then pointed at the bucket Yang Wu put down, and asked: "Are you fetching water for him? Do you know him?"
"I don't know him. I just help him with a little effort." Pei Wanying smiled. Now she could only see the smile in her eyes, but the dimples on her face that fascinated Li Hong were covered by the mask.
"Then why doesn't he fetch water by himself? Although they are gathered here, there is no problem with free movement, right? No one should restrict their freedom, right?" Li Hong looked at the scholar with a matter-of-fact expression and put down his hand. Scroll, and then washed his hands in the bucket.
"Well..." Pei Wanying looked at the other people around and said, "You can move freely. It's not in the way of going to the river. There is no strict supervision here."
"There is no need to help them with this kind of thing in the future, let them do it by themselves." Li Hong said after washing his hands, he wiped them with a piece of white cloth.
Pei Wanying smiled again, lowered her head and said nothing, but nodded vaguely, apparently agreeing with Li Hong's suggestion.
"You have imprisoned us here. Since we are given food and water, I will take the scientific examination soon. How can I have time to go to the river to fetch water? Can you afford to delay the scientific examination?" Scholar Apparently he heard Li Hong's words to persuade Pei Wanying. He bent down to pick up the book, patted the dust on the cover, and glanced at Li Hong and Pei Wanying with disdain.
"This is not imprisonment, this is for your own good. If all of you are allowed to come into contact freely, you will be infected with smallpox and die." Yang Wu looked at the scholar and said coldly.
"Oh, according to your opinion, are you doing this for me? For the sake of all the people of Lantian? Who doesn't know that you are afraid that the court will accuse you, so you take this step! Don't worry, wait until I finish. I will help you get rid of these bad habits." The scholar said as he sat down where he was just now. The book in his hand seemed to be a great object. He held it in his hand to show off that Li Hong and Pei Wanying wanted to ignore it. All difficult.
"How can you sweep the world if you don't sweep the whole house? You are too lazy to do what you can do. Do you think the court will reuse you as a scholar?" Li Hong was curious, where did this guy get the confidence to think that he can do it? And the first place.
