"...this medicine cannot be cooked or eaten with beans, otherwise it will become toxic and cause vomiting and diarrhea."
Early in the morning, Tang Jiuniu was checking Huarou's recitation situation. After she finished testing all the content on the book and Huarou answered fluently without any mistakes, she nodded her head with satisfaction: "Not bad."
Hua Rou smiled upon hearing this, and at this time Tang Jiu'er handed her a written prescription.
"Today, you must prepare and gather all the herbs listed above, they will be used tomorrow."
"Yes, Master."
Hua Rou took over the prescription and hurriedly went to the medicinal herb field at the back of the mountain without delay.
At this time, Mu Junwu was walking back and forth with difficulty in the secret passage.
His footsteps were somewhat floating, stumbling and seemingly unable to control his body, his face was pale with almost no blood color, the beads of sweat on his forehead were falling down one by one.
His body was losing control, he knew he should have been poisoned, but he came out too hastily and didn't have any antidote on him, so he could only rush back and forth.
After much difficulty, he finally arrived at the entrance of the secret passage, laboriously taking off the clothes on his body and throwing them aside before crawling out of the passage.
The air on the mountain is much better than in the secret passage. After climbing out and taking a few deep breaths, he regained some strength.
I clenched my teeth and covered the grass with difficulty, restored it to its original state, and then hurried down the mountain.
But the good times didn't last long, and soon he lost control of his body, especially after he stumbled and almost fell on the mountain slope. He knew he couldn't make it back to the poison house.
The mountain behind is a medicinal field -- this is his best choice for self-rescue at present.
Mu Jun quickly changed direction and headed towards the medicine field, intending to pick some herbs to save himself.
He wandered aimlessly, stumbling and staggering, until finally, when the medicine field appeared before his eyes, he saw a familiar figure.
Flower soft...
His heart warmed up and he called out softly, the tightly clenched teeth relaxed, and in that instant, his persistent resistance also collapsed instantly. Suddenly, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground.
The slight noise made Huajun pause, she immediately got up and looked around, but didn't see anyone. She blinked her eyes, suspecting that she had misheard the noise, and continued to bend down to pick herbs.
But she picked and picked, yet somehow felt that there was something outside the medicine field.
She straightened up and looked out again, especially in the direction that made her feel strange, she always felt that there was something attracting her, making her soul restless.
"I'll just go take a look."
She couldn't argue with that inexplicable feeling in her heart, so she walked out of the medicine field and followed the direction for a few steps before seeing the person lying on the ground.
Hua Rou immediately ran over and when she got closer, she saw Mu Junwu's pale face.
"Brother Mu?" Hua Rou was frightened, her expression tense, and she immediately grabbed onto Mu Junwu's hand. In an instant, the tension in her eyes turned into fear.
"Good heavens! How did the poison in my body suddenly start acting up?"
Hua Rou quickly got up and rushed back to the medicine field, pulled out several herbs with her hands, stuffed them into her mouth and chewed, then picked some more and ran wildly back to Mu Junwu's side.
She quickly undid his clothes with ease, spat out the chewed-up herbs and applied them to several key points on him. Then, she pulled out the hairpin from her head, used the pin tip to prick open Mu Junwu's finger, and let his blood flow.
Hua Rou stuffed the remaining herbs into her mouth and chewed, then applied the medicine to his palm...
In the midst of busy life, I woke up thinking of you.
"Brother Mo!"
"Flower soft..."
"What's wrong with you?" Hua Rou asked anxiously as she squatted beside him: "How could it be that everything was fine, yet the poison in your body suddenly acted up?"
Longing for you, my eyes are filled with sorrow, he gazes at her, speechless, as if his soul is lost.
Hua Rou saw his condition and thought he was weak and powerless, so she quickly pressed the acupoints for him again and tried her best to use the new method she had learned to relieve the poison's invasion.
Huā Róu was busy taking care of everything for him, while he quietly watched Huā Róu treat his injuries.
Hua Rou pressed several major acupoints on his upper body, then immediately went to press the acupoints on his legs and feet. As she did so, her back was turned to him, and she whispered softly:
"I don't know what happened to you, but suddenly this venom came out, it must be a big deal. Mu Ge, if there's anything bothering you, please let it out, or else the poison inside will erupt and hurt..."
Adoring you, I suddenly opened my arms and tightly hugged Huajou from behind.
This hug was too sudden, and Hua Rou was startled into turning her head back.
"Don't move!" Mu Junwu's voice was hoarse, filled with sorrow and choking: "Just let me... hold you like this for a while..."
Hua Rou was shocked by the sudden hug, but Mu Jun's choked voice made her even more uneasy. She stiffened her body and didn't dare to move, constantly guessing what had happened to him, how big a deal it was, that could make him so flustered?
At this moment, you are vulnerable and need strength, comfort, and warmth.
Hua Rou's care for him, every small action she took, seemed to remind him of the love and care his mother had shown him, and this made him momentarily lose control of his inner longing, and he hugged her.
As he held her in his arms, he knew he was being too abrupt and frivolous, but this slender, warm body gave him a sense of security.
Like a piece of driftwood in the water, like a heavy rain in drought, like a warm charcoal fire in the snow, he couldn't let go, and the bitter sorrow that had been suppressed in his heart burst forth like a flood.
He held her in his arms, and after his eyes reddened, tears gushed out, silently trickling down his cheeks.
……
"Tang Xiao, brother?" Linlin, who opened the courtyard door, looked at Tang Xiao with some surprise: "How did you come? Is there something going on?"
"I've come to find Hua Rou and discuss the trial team formation." Tang Xiao said as he stepped forward, about to enter.
"Oh dear, you've come at a bad time. Master has already sent Huā Róu up the mountain to prepare materials early this morning. Why don't you come back in the afternoon?"
"No, I'll go find her at Yao Mountain." Tang Xiao said as he turned around and headed towards the back mountain.
"Hua Rou, I want to try and pass the trials with you, can we?"
Tang Xiao climbed up the mountain while practicing his questioning technique in his mouth, but then he shook his head in dissatisfaction and muttered to himself: "No, no, what if she refuses when I ask her like this?"
Tang Xiao walked a few steps before suddenly straightening his back: "Hua Rou, this time's trial will be led by me!"
It was almost a predetermined speech and tone, naturally leaving no room for the other party to refuse. Tang Xiao savored it for a moment, thought it was fine, and a smile rose on his face: "Mm, just like that."
He spoke with a lively expression, but when he raised his eyes to glance towards the medicine field, he saw Mu Junwu and Hua Rou sitting together on the path outside the medicine field.
At this moment, his smile stiffened on his face, and then he took two steps back.
"They..."
The words got stuck in his throat.
At this moment he was unexpectedly surprised, he was shocked and suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.
But looking carefully at her sitting posture, he knew everything in front of him was true.
Embarrassment, self-mockery, and then loss.
He finally turned around and rushed down the mountain...
