Chapter 119 Plot
After Shi Tou used his internal energy to help Shen Peiqing take the detoxification pill, his lips began to slowly return to their normal color.
Seeing that he was fine, Rong Su was completely relieved, and the inexplicable panic disappeared.
She slumped down on the sand, and as her tense nerves relaxed, she began to ache slightly in her abdomen as if something was stirring inside.
Covering her abdomen, Rong Su clenched her fingers and tried to endure the discomfort. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, it seemed that her period had come early.
Before I could think, I heard Shi Tou's surprised voice and a short dull sound.
"Master! You're awake!"
Shen Peiqing slowly woke up from the dizziness, his dark eyes still blurry as he looked at Shi Tou and Rong Su without focus, before gradually becoming completely sober.
Seeing that he woke up, Rong Su could finally relax.
"Master, you scared me to death! Do you know that you almost died from the spread of the poison? Fortunately, Doctor Rong had antidote pills."
When Shen Peiqing heard about the detoxification pill, he glanced at Rong Su.
Seeing him looking at her, Rong Su mocked him unhappily, "I already have antidote pills on me. If you take the pills in time, the snake venom will be relieved. You were pretending to be a hero and sucked my poisonous blood. Now you're in such a mess."
This was also the reason why she felt that she was about to be poisoned and did not allow Shen Peiqing to suck the poisonous blood. She had a way to detoxify the poison pills, so she didn't need him to pretend to be strong for her.
Facing Rong Su's sarcasm, Shen Peiqing did not feel any regret for his behavior at that time, because he absolutely could not do nothing and let her suffer like that in front of him.
Seeing Shen Peiqing keeping his head down and silent, looking like a helpless child who had done something wrong, Rong Su couldn't bear it anymore and began to wonder if she had gone too far. After all, he had good intentions in saving her.
Shitou noticed that the atmosphere was not right and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Well, Doctor Rong, now that we've come out of the cave and got the Snow Seven Grass, shouldn't we go back?"
After saying this, Rong Su lowered her head to look at the snow seven grass she had put into the small bag. It was just a little wet, but nothing was wrong. She felt relieved and nodded.
"Okay. Let's go back first."
At this time, calls were heard from far away.
"Hey! Are you guys okay?"
Looking up, they saw Xu Cao running towards them, panting.
When Shitou saw this, he raised his hand and waved, "Uncle Xu! We're fine!"
Xu Cao ran up to them and was relieved to see that they were all fine. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank goodness you are all okay, otherwise I would not be at peace."
"Okay, let's stop talking so much. You must have been frightened and it's time to have a good rest. Let's go back first." Xu Cao saw that they were all in a mess, obviously frightened and tired.
Without refusing Xu Cao's words, they went back with Xu Cao.
Shitou supported Shen Peiqing back to Xu Cao. When Lianxin heard that Rong Su was in trouble, she hurried out of the house and took her to her room.
Lianxin was busy taking care of her, boiling hot water and finding clean cloth to bandage her wounds. She was so attentive that Rongsu felt that this girl was truly a pure and kind person.
After bandaging her, Lianxin used the same way to communicate with her as before, writing on the table with her fingers dipped in water.
Lian Xin: Does the wound still hurt? A water snake bite usually hurts. I applied some herbal remedies to relieve the pain.
Rong Su saw that the herbal medicine Lianxin applied to her did have the effect of relieving pain and blood stasis. It seemed that Lianxin had also learned a lot about herbal medicine from Xu Cao.
She shook her head and said quietly, "Thank you. I'm not in so much pain anymore."
After hearing her say this, Lianxin's worried expression eased a little. Then she picked up the basin of water, came back, put down the empty basin, turned around and brought a glass of water and handed it to her.
Lianxin smiled kindly and raised the cup of water in front of her. She knew that she wanted to drink the water herself, so she took it and took two sips.
Seeing Lianxin still standing aside, looking at her with concerned eyes, Rong Su felt a little uncomfortable, so she said, "Don't worry about me. Go and do your thing first."
Originally, she just didn't want to disturb Lianxin's work because of herself, but she seemed to have misunderstood her meaning, thinking that she had disturbed her rest, so she showed a panic expression and gestured in front of her.
Maybe it's because I've been with Lianxin for two days, I can kind of understand her gestures sometimes.
Now she was feeling sorry, and Rong Su was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she explained: "I didn't mean to say that you disturbed me, I just felt that I troubled you again."
Lianxin was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled slightly, shook her head, and looked at her with a very friendly look, as if to tell her that this was no trouble.
Later, someone came to Lianxin to go fishing at the beach.
After Lianxin left, Rong Su lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
I have found the Seven Snow Grasses, but I still need the Hundred Sophora Flavescentis. This mission is about to be completed.
After Shen Peiqing recovered, she was a little confused, but then she shook her head and shook off the confused thoughts.
No, since she saved him, he should make use of his own value. Yes, he is just her weapon of revenge.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door and Shen Peiqing's voice was heard.
"Rong Su."
Hearing his voice, Rong Su was puzzled. This man was injured and poisoned by a snake, so why didn't he rest and came here?
Confused, she still said, "Come in."
As soon as the words fell, the door was pushed open from the outside. Shen Peiqing's face was a little pale, and he looked a little weak. After seeing this, she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
He walked a few steps closer, but didn't answer her immediately. Instead, he looked at her with a look that she couldn't understand.
The surroundings were very quiet, but I could faintly hear the sound of the waves outside and the crackling of firewood burning in the stove inside the house.
Rong Su couldn't tell anything from Shen Peiqing's expressionless face. He just kept looking at her. It was really uncomfortable to be stared at for so long without him saying anything.
Just when she couldn't help but speak, Shen Peiqing finally spoke. His voice was light: "Let me ask you, when will you return to Xuancheng?"
What? Just asking this? The inexplicable man looked at her with strange eyes for so long, and she thought something big was going on.
Rong Su, who was completely confused, curled her lips, changed her sitting position, and said, "The day after tomorrow. You've absorbed all your injuries and the snake venom. Although you've taken the detoxification pills I gave you, you still need some time to rest."
After saying this, Shen Peiqing categorically refused: "No, I'll go back tomorrow."
I totally don't understand. Wouldn't it be nice to give him some time to rest now? Why refuse?
"I'll ask Shitou to prepare." Shen Peiqing seemed to have made up his mind. After looking at her, he turned and left.
It was not until she heard the sound of the door closing that Rong Su came back to her senses. She felt that this man was becoming more and more strange.
"Since you've made your own decision, why are you asking me? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Before she could figure it out, Rong Su, after another tiring day, fell asleep on the bed without realizing it.
After Shen Peiqing left the cabin, he did not return to Xu Cao immediately. Instead, he stood under the shade of a tree, looking at the sparkling blue ocean.
Shitou had just finished helping Xu Cao chop firewood when he looked up and saw Shen Peiqing standing in the shade of a tree not far away, enjoying the sea breeze. Worried about his injuries, he walked over and said, "Master, you're injured. Why don't you go back and rest?"
"Return to Xuancheng tomorrow." Shen Peiqing said this in a calm voice, his eyes always looking into the distance.
Shi Tou was stunned for a moment, then remembered that he had just seen Shen Peiqing walking towards Miss Lianxin. He thought that he was going to discuss the return trip with Doctor Rong.
He also heard about the danger that Doctor Rong encountered last night. Looking at Shen Peiqing's calm profile, it seemed that his master was worried about Doctor Rong.
"Where are our people now?"
Seeing Shen Peiqing mention this, Shitou thought that perhaps the master needed someone to do something, so he quickly said: "The master said before that our people can't all be concentrated in one place, so I arranged for them to go to different places with different identities."
After hearing these words, Shen Peiqing pondered for a while, nodded, and then spoke slowly.
"Thank you for your hard work, Stone."
Shitou heard Shen Peiqing's words and lowered his head in shock: "It is my honor to be able to help the master."
Shen Peiqing turned his head to look at the stone, already having an idea in mind, and said, "Wait until I ask Rong Su about the appearance and whereabouts of the Hundred Sophora Fermentosa. Then I will need you to bring people to look for it in person."
Shi Tou was originally very happy to be entrusted with such an important task by Shen Peiqing, but he became panicked when he thought that he had to leave his master whose internal strength had not yet recovered.
"Master, if I'm not with you and the prince sends someone, you'll be in danger. You've already encountered several assassination attempts in the mining city before."
But all these were hidden from others. As Shen Peiqing's personal attendant, he naturally knew all about it.
Seeing that Shitou was worried and nervous about him, Shen Peiqing raised his hand and patted Shitou's shoulder lightly, his eyes darkening a little: "Shitou, although I can't use my internal force now, I can still deal with a few assassins. Don't think of me as too fragile."
Realizing that he had actually regarded his master as a weakling, Shitou understood that this had violated his master's inner taboo and immediately bowed his head to apologize: "I was wrong, please punish me, master!"
Shen Peiqing withdrew his hand, not intending to blame Shitou. He looked into the distance and said calmly, "When we return to Xuancheng, you will take people to look for Baikushen."
This matter had obviously been decided by Shen Peiqing. Shitou knew that no matter how much he said, he would not be able to persuade his master to stay. However, finding the Hundred Sophora Fermentosa was also very important, as it was an herb that was related to the master's recovery of his strength.
Shi Tou was worried and conflicted, but he also understood his master's intention. After the incident of looking for the Snow Seven Grass, his master was probably worried that Doctor Rong would disregard his own safety again in order to find the Hundred Sophora Fermentosa.
"Yes, I obey your command."
Shen Peiqing looked into the distance, his black eyes were deep and filled with a hint of elusive loneliness and indifference, as if he was a lonely wandering soul in this world, lonely and desolate, as elusive as smoke.
The sky gradually darkened.
The surroundings began to darken, and the cold winter wind began to gain strength along with the sea breeze.
In a daze, Rong Su saw the flickering candlelight on the table, and then saw Lianxin's figure sitting aside, concentrating on making straw sandals.
After a moment of distraction, she climbed up from the bed. It seemed that her movement startled Lianxin. Lianxin turned around and saw that she was awake. She smiled, put down the things in her hands, and hurried out.
Not long after Lianxin left, she came back with a bowl of hot noodles with some fried dried fish on top, which looked very tempting to the taste buds.
Lianxin pushed the noodles in front of her, obviously indicating that she should eat.
Looking at the noodles and smelling the delicate fragrance of noodles mixed with the hint of dried fish, Rong Su could already feel her stomach rumbling, so she accepted it without hesitation and said softly, "Thank you."
Lianxin smiled and handed her another pair of chopsticks, then went back to her seat to continue making straw sandals.
Eating the sweet, refreshing and chewy noodles, paired with the dried fish that was moderately salty and very sweet, after finishing a bowl of noodles, my body, which had been feeling a little cold, instantly warmed up and my stomach felt comfortable.
After eating, Rong Su put the dishes aside. Lianxin saw that she had finished eating, so she got up to clean up. She originally wanted to say that she could clean up, but Lianxin seemed to have seen through her thoughts, so she quickly grabbed it and went out with a smile.
Seeing Lianxin like this, Rong Su didn't want to compete with her, but she was thinking in her heart how to thank this kind girl.
She looked around the house. For the past two days, she had been thinking about finding Xue Qicao and had not taken a serious look at Lianxin's home. Her home was very warm, with simple and plain furnishings, but it was still warm.
His eyes flashed and fell on a cabinet not far away. There seemed to be a piece of calligraphy hanging on the side of the cabinet.
After thinking about it, she felt a little confused. Lianxin didn't look like someone who could write. Judging from the words she wrote for her every day, Lianxin seemed to have only learned a few simple words.
When I walked over and took a look, I saw a piece of calligraphy that read: Pure as snow, kind as white.
After seeing the calligraphy clearly, Rong Su began to ponder, because she found that she seemed to have seen the handwriting somewhere before.
Before I could figure it out, a task suddenly popped up in the reader.
[Side Quest Plot: Help Lianxin change her ending of being sold, successfully upgrade to level 2, current reader level 12]
[Tips: After the reader reaches level 12, the Destiny Scroll can be triggered]
Rong Su was stunned for a moment. After seeing the contents of the reader, she didn't expect that this would trigger the plot.
And what is the Scroll of Destiny?
At this time, Lianxin had returned. She saw her looking at the calligraphy and walked over.
She gestured to her, but thinking that Rong Su couldn't understand, Lianxin looked shy.
When Rong Su saw Lianxin's expression, it seemed that she had to find Uncle Xu to learn how to understand Lianxin's gestures.
Just now she suddenly remembered where she had seen that calligraphy before, in the Prince of Jin'an's Mansion.
These words are very similar to the words on the plaque of Jin'an Prince's Palace.
So what is the connection between Lianxin and Jin'an Palace?
