Only a few ordained disciples were left on duty on the mountain, while Senior Sister Ding took most of the junior sisters to spend the winter in a separate courtyard down the mountain.
First, in winter, those who make trouble may not rest, and they may need to go on missions.
Second, it’s too harsh on the mountain.
In the summer, the disciples kept carrying enough firewood and seasonings for the winter to the mountains. They also put enough vegetables in the cellar to prepare for the winter.
But when winter comes, thousands of miles are frozen and the mountains are bitterly cold. Most of them are girls. No matter how much they wear, they are still shivering from the cold.
With fewer people, there are more things to do. In addition to cleaning the dust inside the house, the remaining disciples also have to deal with the snow on the roof.
Otherwise, the increasingly thick snow may collapse the house.
Golden roof, bedroom.
After serving breakfast in the morning, Zhiruo hid in the bed and hugged the little yellow cat tightly, her body trembling with cold gradually recovered.
It's too cold!
"Lele, we will stay in bed today and not get out!" Zhiruo made up her mind.
Although the senior sisters outside were having a snowball fight and building snowmen, it was very lively.
Miao Le was very dissatisfied and warned earnestly: "Meow!"
How do you sleep on the bed at your age? Have you ever seen the way I envy other people’s cats? Have you ever seen the way your master begged when his uncle wanted to die?
You are no longer young, don’t wait until your family needs you, there will be nothing but tears!
Get up, study medicine, and practice martial arts! In this world, becoming stronger is your only way out! Fighting against fate, this is life. You know, the cheapest thing in the world is: sincerity with no money and gentleness with nothing to achieve.
Xiao Zhiruo looked at the heavy snow outside and the blowing cold wind, feeling very confused.
"Meow!" Miao Le hated the iron.
Listen to me, believe in yourself, you will definitely have a bright future, then work hard and don’t let warm water boil your dreams.
You only live once, don’t give in!
Zhiruo's eyes gradually became firm. Yes, she never wanted to see the scene where her parents were killed and she was helpless!
I took off the quilt, got dressed, went out, and went to the Sutra Pavilion to study.
"Bang!" The bedroom door was closed tightly.
Miao Le quickly hid under the quilt.
Really cold!
As long as he works hard to shovel shit, he is different. He is just a cat. You must think twice before doing anything.
First: Can I not do it?
Second: Can we do it tomorrow?
Third: Can you do it for others?
Zhiruo outside, looking at the door that could not be opened, fell into deep thought.
Have you been deceived? Why doesn’t the little yellow cat work hard?
wrong!
You are Lele's master, how can you think so, Zhiruo, you are such a waste!
Come on, make a lot of money and buy delicious food for Lele.
…
In the winter in the mountains, if there is enough firewood and food, life will undoubtedly be boring.
Moreover, everyone is a disciple who has been ordained and cannot eat meat or fish. Although in order to replenish Qi and blood, many people eat the medicinal diet invented by Master Guo Xiang, but if you eat too much of it, the taste is average.
Fortunately, the senior sisters can take a dip in the hot springs to wash away the dampness and coldness in their bodies.
This activity is also the little yellow cat’s favorite. He follows the poop scooper every time and never fails.
He is a clean kitty!
In the bath, the little yellow cat was massaged by the disciples in turn, swimming around, and was extremely happy.
"Hey, have you noticed that Zhiruo's bones seem to be getting more and more supple?" Jinghui came to Zhiruo's side and smiled.
Other disciples were attracted by her broad mind intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhiruo's small body could only reveal a small head in the bathtub, which seemed not as good as Senior Sister Jinghui's chest muscles.
Jinghui pinched Zhiruo Shuiling's face: "Look, it's all tender and tender."
Zhiruo was immediately pinched to the point of tears: "Senior sister, it's so hard."
"Haha, my little junior sister is so cute. If you don't pinch me now, I might not have a chance when you grow up." After saying that, Jinghui even held her in her arms.
"It's a small one, hey, it's still fun to be small!" Jinghui sighed.
Zhiruo struggled quickly, almost suffocating.
Miao Le was very dissatisfied. She actually dared to bully her shit shoveling officer. How dare you deal with me like this!
"Meow!"
"Ah, Zhiruo, what's wrong with this cat you raised? Get him away quickly!"
"Hehe, senior sister bullied me, I will let Lele bully you too!" Zhiruo said with a smile, very satisfied.
It’s better to be happy!
"Zhizhi, zhizhi~" Suddenly, there was a monkey's cry outside.
Jingxu smiled and said, "It should be a letter from Senior Sister Ding of Shanxia."
In the past few months, the disciples on the mountain discovered a strange thing. Two cute animals came here. They were not afraid of people at all and even came to them to ask for food.
Although the disciples were a little surprised that this animal should have stored food for the winter, they still fed it a little.
Then a golden monkey and a goshawk just stayed on the mountain.
Everyone just felt bored on the mountain, and there was plenty of food stored, so they fed them every day.
Later, I found that these two animals were very smart, so I asked Senior Sister Ding to take them down the mountain, and then asked them to bring a letter up, and they succeeded.
Since then, the Emei Sect has had two more messengers.
As long as they are given food and shelter, they can help with the work. They are also given names, the golden monkey is called Xiao Sheng, and the goshawk is called Dapeng.
Senior Sister Jingxu got dressed and went out to get some food. She took the letter from the little saint and fed it to it.
"Little Saint, it's so hard to deliver letters in such a cold weather." The senior sister continued to advise: "However, remember to save more food for the winter tomorrow autumn. There are no small animals like this. If it weren't for us, you wouldn't have starved to death.
?”
Xiao Sheng is a little aggrieved. If all my food had not been eaten by that bully cat in your mountain, would I need to be so tired?
Seeing the aggrieved look on the little saint's face, Jingxu laughed: "Okay, let's go back and rest."
"Zhizhi~"
When we returned to the bathhouse, everyone immediately gathered around me.
"What did Senior Sister Ding say in the letter?" Women's nature is to gossip, let alone so many women gathered together.
"Bah chirp, bah chirp~" There seemed to be strange sounds around.
Jingxuan is now the person in charge of the mountain, so he opened the letter and began to read: "Your Majesty, Master, half a month ago, my apprentice Ding Minjun led his junior sisters to fight against the bandits who had occupied San'e Mountain in recent days, killed more than fifty bandits, and rescued the trapped bandits.
There are more than 20 civilian women and civilian husbands. The money seized has been distributed to the trapped civilian women.
Moreover, my apprentice found a fifty-year-old ginseng in the bandit leader's den. He considered the master to be in seclusion to practice his unique skills, so he specially presented it to him. I hope the master will achieve great success as soon as possible and lead me, Emei, to flourish!"
After reading the letter, the senior sisters expressed their admiration.
"Senior Sister Ding's martial arts skills are getting more and more powerful, and now she is known as Ding Nuxia down the mountain!"
"Yes, the over fifty thieves are all cunning and cunning. Thank you for your hard work, Senior Sister Ding. Last time I went down the mountain, I saw that the enemy's swords were shaking. Fortunately, Senior Sister Ding used the wind of her palm to help me block the enemy's lime."
"Yes, since Senior Sister Ji was kidnapped and killed by Yang Xiao, the demon sect thief, and Master went into seclusion, our Emei Sect has only Senior Sister Ding standing in front of us, facing those evil people alone.
I think she should be the future head of Emei."
Jingxuan frowned: "The letter said, didn't Senior Sister Ding send ginseng? Where's the ginseng?"
All the disciples looked at each other, could it be that the monkey stole it?
"Bah chi, bah chi~"
The disciples turned around and saw the little yellow cat lying on Junior Sister Zhiruo's head, happily gnawing on a huge ginseng.
Jingxuan:.
Zhiruo:???
After a while.
Several female disciples worked together, one person grabbed a limb of the little yellow cat, and finally pulled out half of the ginseng.
Jingxuan had a headache: "Junior sister Zhiruo, this ginseng is for master. When the medicinal meal is prepared in the evening, you can explain it to master.
Otherwise, it will be difficult for Senior Sister Ding to answer questions in the future."
Zhiruo hugged the little yellow cat tightly and burst into tears.
She is a medical student, so she naturally knows the value of ginseng in the past fifty years. One stick costs almost more than one hundred taels of silver, half of it is fifty taels, and a generally well-fed family may only earn 20 taels a year.
She has been helping Senior Sister Jinghui memorize prescriptions for more than half a year. The remuneration given by Senior Sister plus the rewards from benefactors totaled less than five taels of silver.
In other words, she is broke!
The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, but looking at Lele's cute appearance in her arms, she couldn't bear to fight him.
He is just a little kitten, what does he know?
"Suck it, senior sister, I will pay back this ginseng slowly in the future," Zhiruo said while choking.
How hard it is to make money!
"Haha~" The senior sisters laughed out loud looking at the cute appearance of the junior sister.
Jingxu comforted: "It's okay. Junior sister Zhiruo will go and explain to the master first. If the master really wants you to pay it back, senior sister will lend it to you until you have the money later."
"Hahaha~" the senior sisters laughed one after another.
For martial arts masters like them, fifty taels of silver is actually not much. Sometimes they only need more than a dozen taels for business trips, but it is still difficult to save so much money.
So Jingxu can be considered a generous donation.
…
For dinner, Zhiruo carried a food box into the Zen room. What was inside was the ginseng medicinal meal prepared by Jinghui.
Miejie put away his technique and sniffed his nose: "Zhiruo, what did you eat today? Why does it taste so good?"
Zhiruo said: "Senior Sister Ding got a fifty-year-old ginseng when she was clearing bandits at the foot of the mountain. This is the medicinal diet made specially for you by Senior Sister Jinghui using ginseng."
Jiejie nodded. He had been refining Qi these days and tried various small meridians. He got some blood, which was just right to replenish his body.
When I opened the food box, the temperature was just right. I was tall and tall, unlike Senior Sister Ding and others who swallowed slowly and poured it directly into their mouths and finished it in a few gulps.
The moment he finished drinking, Miejie's face suddenly turned rosy, his expression changed, and he quickly sat down to exercise and adjust his breathing.
for a long time.
Miejie opened his eyes and was overjoyed: "Zhiruo, Jinghui has researched a new nourishing secret recipe?"
Zhiruo was a little confused and shook her head: "No, I was watching while the medicine was being cooked, which is the commonly used ginseng and poria porridge."
Extinction is a bit strange: "Then how come the efficacy of today's medicine is several times that of before? Is this ginseng a hundred years old?
Zhiruo, go back and let Jinghui try this soup and study it to see what the effect of the medicine is today.
If we can find out the reason, maybe Emei can grow stronger again!"
"Yes, Master!"
…
Dining room.
Jinghui and Zhiruo both took a sip of the medicinal food, and their eyes widened instantly. The taste and therapeutic effect today were greatly improved, probably two or three times more than before.
But the medicinal materials used are the same as before.
Jinghui once again cooked a pot with the remaining ginseng, using the same medicinal materials, and tasted it again. The curative effect was the same as before.
What's going on? The two of them looked at each other.
After thinking for a long time, Zhiruo suddenly remembered something and asked weakly: "Sister, the pot you cooked for Master, is that the part Lele chewed?"
She remembered that she also had a secret recipe for the Yuan-Building Pill in her hand, the main ingredient of which was Lele's saliva.
Jinghui:???
What is this statement? Could it be that if the little yellow cat chews it, the curative effect will be greatly increased? It can't be that he is a mythical beast under the seat of Samantabhadra, right? His saliva can make the dead alive, leaving flesh and bones white?
However, if she had an idea, she would definitely give it a try. Jinghui quickly went to the bath.
According to her observation, if the little yellow cat is in the mountains, he usually stays in three places: the bath, the dining room, and the bedroom, or goes out to have fun, with the latter being the least likely.
Sure enough, Jinghui pulled the little yellow cat out from the arms of a junior sister in the bath.
"Meow." Miao Le licked his lips and made a pinching sound.
Will you let me play for a while longer?
Jinghui knocked his little head: "Little colored cat, come here, let me give you a taste of ginseng!" She took out a larger ginseng from her arms, and she didn't know how she stored it.
The little yellow cat's blue eyes are wide and round. She is worthy of Senior Sister Jinghui. She really has deep and unfathomable wisdom.
"Ah woo~" he said in one mouthful.
When her goal was achieved, Jinghui threw the little yellow cat into her junior sister's arms: "Let's go play."
Little yellow cat:
Is this the senior sister? She actually feels like she has been abandoned in the end. Damn it!
In the dining room, Jinghui saw the glistening saliva left on the ginseng. She thought deeply and thought about throwing the ginseng into a porcelain bottle and processing it accordingly.
Half an hour later, the medicinal meal was ready. Jinghui was looking forward to it. She picked up some with a spoon and put it in her mouth. Then her eyes lit up.
really!
In the future, if the Emei Sect has a little yellow cat, its strength will definitely increase greatly.
After the surprise, Jinghui frowned.
The world is dangerous. If Lele's secret is spread, there will only be one result. The Emei faction will become the common enemy of the world, and even the Yuan Emperor will send a large army to besiege him if he is unsure.
The fact is that this is most likely to be the case. If a drop of saliva can have such a magical effect, then whether his flesh and blood will be the elixir of longevity is something that anyone will doubt.
The key point is that even if Lele is handed over, there is a high probability that the foundation of the Emei Sect will not be preserved. Because there is the first mythical beast here, wouldn't there be a second one?
After thinking for a long time, Jinghui made up her mind that this secret must not be known to anyone else, not even the master.
She knew exactly what her master had done in order to improve her skills over the years. Just think that she had developed a new prescription.
Secrets, the fewer people know about them, the better.
…
In the bedroom, Xiao Zhiruo carefully opened her treasure box and looked at the bits and pieces of silver inside, feeling very reluctant to part with it.
But there is no other way, you have to pay back the money you owe.
Lifting the little yellow cat on her shoulder to the table, Zhiruo said very seriously: "Lele, from now on you can only eat my food as you like. If you eat other people's food, you will be beaten easily."
"Meow!" Miao Le tilted his head and thought for a while.
Then he jumped directly onto the bed, turned around, skillfully dug out a larger ginseng from the pillow, and brought it back with it in his mouth.
Looking at the human-shaped ginseng in front of her, Zhiruo's eyes widened.
Get rich!
"Wait a minute, Lele, why are you so good at digging through my pillow? Did you steal my money last time?"
