Chapter 346, Three Women Collecting Herbs
Let's talk about Meizhou Island. After seeing off the master Zuozuo and Liu San, the three girls were ready to go out to collect medicine.
The Emperor's Medical Fairy made a list of herbal medicines and gave it to Mi Tang, and asked her to take her two daughters to Xiashi Island to collect it. Because Xiashi Island has volcanic ash and fertile soil, it not only has a wide variety of plants, but also has good medicinal effects, and many rare medicinal materials have been found.
.
In addition, Xiashi Island belongs to the sphere of influence of Xiuzhen Guan, so there is no need to worry about the safety of the three girls, and the shrimp fairy will take care of it. Honey is also very familiar with the terrain and plants there, which is very suitable for them to study and collect medicine at the same time.
Miss Fei had never been to Xiashi Island, so she was naturally very happy. Xin'er was not familiar with it either, so she went on an outing to collect herbs with her two sisters, which also made her happy.
The three women each carried medicine baskets on their backs, small hoes and other tools for collecting medicine, and flew towards the shrimp island.
The sunshine on the sea is so beautiful, and the flowers and grass on the shrimp island are in full bloom. Only Xin'er seems to be full of things on her mind, and her brows always have knots that can't be untied. It's just that she keeps it in her heart and doesn't speak easily. Honey and
Miss Fei didn't care.
The three girls searched all the way on the grassy slope near the volcano. It was the first time for Miss Fei to come to Shrimp Island, and it was also the first time to dig up herbs. She paid close attention to the plants and realized the fun.
After a while, Miss Fei called out again: "Come and take a look, Honey, Xin'er, this little flower is blooming so beautifully."
Mi Tang and Xin'er rushed to take a look and saw that it was a purple flower with thick and moist petals that made people want to take a bite. Miss Fei said with a smile: "I'll give it a name, just call it Xin'er."
Right. Hehe, just like Xin'er, I want to take a bite after seeing it. It must be very sweet and juicy."
Mi Tang burst out laughing, but shook her head and said: "This flower's original name is Lover's Grass, and it is a very rare plant. Let's not disturb it and let it enjoy the sunshine here."
Xiner couldn't help but tremble when she heard Mi Tang's words. She said, "This is obviously a flower, but why is it called grass?"
Mi Tang smiled again and said: "Maybe it's because it always grows alone and alone, like grass, no one pays attention to it, and it is particularly pitiful. So I gave it a cheap name."
With that said, she and Miss Fei went elsewhere to look for herbs.
Xin'er stayed, quietly dug it out and put it into the medicine basket. She remembered that among the medicinal materials of Wuhun Dan, there was a medicinal material called Lover's Grass.
Xin'er always felt that this lover's grass was her, and she didn't know why she had been feeling depressed in recent days. Maybe it was because Jiang Shanghua decided to refine the Wuhun Pill. He was always dissatisfied with the happy life in front of him and always wanted to
adventure.
This time he decided to introduce Wuhun Kung. If everyone knew about it, he would definitely be criticized. But Xin'er couldn't convince him and could only watch him go to extremes step by step.
If this continues, there is no telling what consequences it will bring to Xiuzhen Guan, to himself, and to Xin'er. Xin'er always has a premonition of some kind of crisis, and she is worried that Jiang Shanghua will eventually practice martial arts.
He was also worried that he would launch the Sanxian to practice Wuhun Kung. Such a cruel approach might lead to the tragedy of betrayal and separation.
Alas, Jiang Shanghua has a stubborn temper and always feels that Liu San is inferior to him. This stubbornness will really tire him, the concept of cultivation, and Xin'er herself.
Xin'er shook her head, not knowing whether Jiang Shanghua would eventually abandon her when she was no longer of use to him.
On the other side, Miss Fei found another plant and said loudly: "Look at this grass, it is elegant and delicate. Although it is grass, it has the grace of a flower. I think it is called honey."
Mi Tang was amused by her and giggled, and said: "Sister, this is orchid grass, and it is also a very rare plant. This herb is in the medical elixir, let's dig it back."
The two women carefully dug out the orchid grass and put it into the medicine basket.
Miss Fei turned around and screamed again: "Oh, there is a beautiful flower over there. Come and take a look. There is a blue and a red flower under the cliff over there."
She went on tiptoe.
Mi Tang and Xin'er also looked over and saw that it was a flower fluttering in the wind. The petals were delicate and wide, very lively and cute.
Mi Tang smiled and said: "Hey, let's call this flower Miss Fei. Look at how beautiful and delicate she is."
Miss Fei knew that Mi Tang was making fun of her and always liked to act coquettishly in front of the master, so she blushed.
Xin'er couldn't help laughing and said, "Stop laughing at Miss Fei's happy life. What is the name of this flower?"
Mi Tang said: "That's a smiling face. It looks like two people with smiling faces. Doesn't it look like Miss Fei? She smiles happily all day long."
Miss Fei gave her a sweet slap and said, "Actually, you are much happier than me. My pretentiousness was just a love affair. Now that you leave me, you don't know where to go to be happy. Humph."
Mi Tang said: "I think he is a measured man and he will not mess around. He is much more lively and interesting than the Medical Fairy."
Miss Fei said coquettishly: "It's better than Mr. Jiang. If a man is more serious, women will feel more at ease."
Xin'er showed a wry smile. She tried her best to serve Jiang Shanghua, but Jiang Shanghua often secretly cheated on her. She swallowed it in her belly and didn't mention it to anyone. At this time, after hearing Miss Fei's joke, she also said: "Well, man
As long as my heart is still with you, it's a good thing."
Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something. She remembered that Smiling Face Lobster was also one of the herbs used in Wuhun Dan.
Xin'er quickly said: "Sister Mi Tang, help me pick that smiling radish plant."
Mi Tang said strangely: "The medical fairy didn't ask for this kind of herb."
Xin'er blurted out: "Mr. Jiang...oh, no...I want it."
Seeing her hesitating, Mi Tang couldn't hold her accountable, so she flew over and picked the smiling radish and gave it to Xin'er. At this time, she saw that there were many herbs in Xin'er's medicine basket that were not needed by the medical fairy.
.
How could Xin'er choose herbal medicines on her own? Why didn't she follow her master's instructions in picking herbs?
Seeing Xin'er carefully putting the smiling radish into the medicine basket, her expression was serious and focused. She couldn't bear to think about the worst, maybe she had found some medical books to study it.
I saw the three girls wandering around the hillside for most of the night. Everyone had gained a lot. Then they flew to the small town of Xiandao with a lot of medicinal materials on their backs.
When they arrived at the town, the three women walked through the small streets in order not to disturb the residents.
The skirts of these three peerless women were flying in the evening breeze, and their faces were reflected in the sunset, which aroused the residents' admiration. Someone said loudly: "These must be fairy women, much more beautiful than the weaver girl in the tailor shop."
ah."
The three girls felt a sweet feeling in their hearts, and they were too embarrassed to turn around to thank others for their praise, and walked reservedly through the small street.
…
In the tailor shop, the textile lady warmly entertained the three girls. Now that the old grudge between the textile lady and Mi Tang had been forgotten, she chatted with the three girls attentively after the meal.
Sitting on the only tall building in the town, facing the bright night sky, the four girls chatted until midnight. It was Xin'er who left early, and the tea party ended.
Xin'er did not fall asleep. She carefully sorted out the herbs she dug up and divided them into two groups. The herbs that the medical fairy wanted were placed on one side, and the herbs that she wanted were placed on the other side.
She unconsciously picked up the lover's plant, which was already a little withered. She held it in her hand and smelled the fragrance of the flower carefully under the starlight.
Isn't she just a lonely lover's plant?
She remembered her childhood, when she was with Jiang Shanghua. She recalled that when she was a child, the skinny immortal (that is, the county magistrate) invited an older woman to teach her how to serve men and how to be a man's helper.
Her whole world revolves around Jiang Shanghua from beginning to end. So she cannot have her own joy and sorrow. She can only pay attention to Jiang Shanghua's emotions, be happy for him, sad for him, and be his loyal slave.
.instead of a wife.
She couldn't complain about all this. This was her fate. Without the support of the county magistrate, she might have died long ago.
She couldn't even reveal her true feelings to others: she was not Jiang Shanghua's wife, just his housekeeper...
Tears slowly flowed from her eyes, and she felt her heart trembling and feeling slight pain. She took a deep breath to relieve the pain, and gradually her mood returned to calm.
In this quiet time, letting her tears flow freely and taking away her bitterness may be her best way to vent her feelings. After she calmed down, she wiped away her tears and walked into the house to sleep quietly.
