An ancient dusty legend is about to reveal the truth in the hands of travelers. But before that, let us move our sights to another place and pay attention to other developments of the story. Because maybe it is possible, this is also part of the legend What?
……
The herbal garden where various magical herbs are planted is located in a remote corner of the underground garden. Few people set foot on it on weekdays. Therefore, the stone road looks clean and clear, with no trace of trampling. On the bushes beside the road, the green leaves still condense the morning light. The misty dew seems to be blooming with dripping vitality.
The footsteps of the two little girls broke the tranquility here. Xemela took Metien's hand and led her to the simple iron gate at the end of the stone road. Here, the flower branches that had not yet vomited out their buds poked out of the railing and gently It sways gently as if waving to passers-by, and the ends of the branches are just showing some light green.
"In the herbal garden, there are gold-leaf mint, mimosa, pink moongrass, wild chrysanthemum, Bomian pandan...and silver dragon grass and other precious medicinal materials. The eldest and second sisters have spent many years on it. They were just transplanted from the mountains." Xie Mi pointed his fingers and counted the treasures.
These names sounded much more normal than those weird magic vegetables in the vegetable garden. Metien blinked his big eyes and couldn't suppress the excitement and curiosity in his heart: "What are their functions and what kind of diseases can they cure?" ?Is the silver dragon grass you just mentioned really related to dragons?"
"Yes."
Xie Misha nodded his head ceremoniously: "It looks like a silver dragon, so we call it Silver Dragon Grass."
"...What about other than that?"
"Besides that? No, doesn't it matter?"
"Uh."
The pink-haired little girl was speechless.
While they were talking, they had already arrived in front of the iron fence gate of the herbal garden. There was a potted plant next to it, with a sunflower-like plant planted inside. There was a vivid human face on the golden flower plate. At this time, it was showing a lazy expression. He leaned against the railing and fell asleep.
Xie Mi leaned over and called her name in a raised tone: "Little Yang, don't sleep, Little Yang, wake up!"
By the way, he turned back and explained to Maitien: "This is a sunflower. We all call her Little Sun. Her fragrance can heal trauma and relieve negative emotions. Sunflower seeds can be used for cooking... Well, it's delicious. ."
As he spoke, he swallowed subconsciously.
Metien: "..."
Sunflower, who was immersed in sleep, was woken up by someone. She rubbed her sleepy eyes with two big green leaves and mumbled in an unclear voice: "Who is disturbing me for not sleeping so early in the morning?"< /p>
Her voice sounds very childish. If placed among humans, she would be a little girl of about seven or eight years old.
"It's me, little sun." Xie Mi stretched out her hand and shook her flower pot: "Wake up quickly, open the door and let me in."
"Oh, don't shake me, I'm awake!"
After being shaken by her like this, Sun Kui finally cheered up. He opened his big eyes and said in a surprised tone: "Xie Mi, why is it you? What are you doing here? Is anyone injured in the hotel? Also, this is...
Humans, right? Oh my god, I can’t even remember the last time I saw a human. Let me think about it, was it yesterday, the day before yesterday, or last week?”
"Don't think about it." Xie Mi interrupted her memories and introduced: "Her name is Metien, she is a guest of the hotel and also my friend."
"So that's it, the hotel finally has new guests?"
The sunflower stretched out its big leaves and greeted the pink-haired little girl in a friendly manner: "Hello, Metien, I am the sunflower, you can call me little sun."
Medien also stretched out his hand and shook her leaf gently: "Hello, little sun, nice to meet you."
"Well, your hands are very warm. You seem to be a kind-hearted girl." Sunflower seemed to be talking to herself, but she said it loudly on purpose: "Next time you come to see me, I hope you can bring me some
Gift."
Metien nodded vigorously: "Okay, I remember!"
"Don't worry about her, Meridian, she just likes to ask for gifts from others." Xie Mi pulled his good friend to his side, and then said angrily to Sunflower: "You haven't returned the bow I gave you last time.
, but I don’t care about it. Now open the door and let me in.”
Sun Kui's nature was revealed, and he didn't care. He said slowly: "I've already been thinking about returning the gift... You have to tell me why you are going in. If you want to collect herbs, it's not usually Xie Si.
Is Ta responsible?"
Xie Mi raised her face and said confidently: "What are you doing? I just want to go shopping with my friend and introduce her to various magical medicinal materials!"
"Then I can't let you in." Sunflower shook the flower plate to express her refusal: "Mrs. Tree is still sleeping inside. What if you wake her up?"
"I promise not!"
Xie Mi vowed and patted his chest: "Also, if you let us in, there is no need for a bow in return. I will also give you an extra bow, which is your favorite gold!"
"This——"
Looking at Sun Kui's expression, she was obviously a little moved, and she was debating the pros and cons. But Meridian felt that this was not a good idea. She had seen similar behavior in books before, and I remember it was called... bribery? p>
Bad people will bribe you, but good people will convince others with reason.
"How about we go back to find Sister Alice." She tugged on her friend's sleeves and whispered: "Sister Alice is the best at persuading people with reason."
Sunflower shivered for no reason, feeling that something terrible was about to happen.
She was just about to speak, when suddenly a voice came from the depths of the herbal garden. It was gentle, generous, and kind, like the outline of the sun and the shape of a tree crown, which warmed the two of them.
Hua's ears rang: "Let them in, little sun."
"Huh?"
Metien tilted her head, with a look of confusion in her eyes. She felt inexplicably that the voice was very kind, as if its owner deliberately conveyed a kind and friendly emotion to her, soothing her heart. "Mrs. Tree!?"
The sunflower at the door was startled: "Why did you wake up?"
"Haha, you have to wake up after sleeping for too long, otherwise you will forget what the world looks like." Mrs. Tree smiled gently: "Besides, I also want to meet this guest from afar.
,Perhaps, she can...inherit...that relic..."
The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared completely, as if submerged in the bottom of the sea. Medien could not hear clearly what she said after that, but he only knew that the tree lady seemed to want to meet him.
Xie Mi also heard this meaning, so he put his hands on his hips and said proudly to Sun Kui: "Did you hear it? This is what Mrs. Tree means, let us in quickly!"
Now I am not afraid even if my sisters find me.
"Okay, okay, I'll open the door right now, don't rush me." Sunflower slowly pulled out its roots from the flower pot, rummaged in the soil for a while, and finally took out a handful of rusty roots.
The small key was inserted into the lock of the iron fence door.
With a click, the door was opened, and leading to the depths of the garden was a path covered by tall shrub walls and brightly colored flowers.
"Let's go, Metien!"
Xie Mi happily took her friend's hand and led her into the herbal garden.
The two people's backs gradually disappeared at the end of the road. Sunflower put away the key, buried her roots in the soil again, closed her eyes and planned to catch up on some sleep. But before falling asleep, she seemed to murmur unconsciously:
"Do you really want to hand that thing over to humans..."
