Lu Qingtang put down the half-washed clothes and wiped the water on his hands with his apron.
She smiled and said to Shui Xingyue: "I'll be ready to go after washing the clothes. Don't worry, it'll be over in a while."
Shui Xingyue stepped forward quickly and reached out to hold her arm, "Get up, what are you washing? Women's hands are not used for washing clothes. I will take you to see my treasure!"
Lu Qingtang didn't react and was dragged up from the stool by her.
The two came to Yuehui Pavilion, where Shui Xingyue lived.
She pushed open the door and pulled Lu Qingtang into the room.
As soon as she entered the room, she was shocked by the sight of a large humanoid skeleton model.
Next is the ancient shelf, with human skulls, calf bones, thigh bones, upper arm bones, forearm bones...
On the other side was a map of the layout of human acupuncture points, which hung on an entire wall. Lu Qingtang was stunned.
She pointed at these things and asked Mercury: "Are these your treasures?"
Shui Xingyue pinched her waist very proudly, "Yes, as long as there are good things, I will hide them all in this room."
As she said this, confusion appeared on her face, "Hey, why aren't you scared? Ordinary people would be scared to death when they see these things about me. Why aren't you scared at all?"
Lu Qingtang's heart tightened.
While watching, she forgot to act.
If this play were to be performed again, it would be too fake, so why not try another way?
Lu Qingtang shook his head and said to her: "Don't be afraid. These things are all things on people. Why should I be afraid of things on myself?"
Shui Xingyue nodded, "Sister Xiaohua, what you said makes sense, but I can also see that you are very talented."
Lu Qingtang pretended to be confused, "What talent?"
Shui Xingyue laughed, "Of course I'm studying medicine!"
She grabbed Lu Qingtang's shoulders and said in surprise: "Did you know that other girls will scream in fright when they see these things, and even the timid ones will faint from fright. They don't even dare to look at these things. How can I learn it? I want to ask you, Sister Xiaohua, have you ever thought about learning medicine?"
Hearing this, Lu Qingtang couldn't help but feel a little excited.
That's what she was waiting for.
Once Mercury takes the initiative to talk to her about medical skills, she can intentionally or unintentionally bring the topic to poison.
With Shui Xingyue's character, he would definitely mention the secret poison from their Yaowang Valley, and then propose an antidote method on this basis, so that the character of the mother can be naturally introduced.
So, Lu Qingtang then said: "I'm not interested in medical skills. It's too difficult to learn from scratch at my age. Li Daqing said that it took him more than ten years of study to achieve his current achievements."
Shui Xingyue looked disdainful and snorted coldly, "That's because he is stupid. Have you ever heard of my third sister, the medical fairy Shui Xingrou? She started learning acupuncture when she was three years old, and she can treat diseases and save people at the age of ten!"
Hearing this, Lu Qingtang became interested, "Really? I would like to learn from her, but it's a pity that I heard that your sister has been missing for many years."
Shui Xingyue nodded and patted her shoulder with his hand, "I can be your mother."
As she said that, she laughed and said to Lu Qingtang: "You're just kidding, don't take it seriously, I just love to joke."
Lu Qingtang curled his lips, "It's not fun to say, aren't you deliberately taking advantage of me?"
As expected, he is a child. He talks and acts differently. He is just as imaginative as Zeng Ke and has the same secondary disease.
If she were Mercury Rou's child, wouldn't she have to be called Aunt Mercury?
Oh my god, how terrible it is to have such an aunt...
She shook her head vigorously. How could she have the same chuunibyou disease as Zeng Ke?
I must have been thinking about my child so much these past few days that I couldn't sleep and had hallucinations in my mind.
Lu Qingtang came back to his senses, looked at Shui Xingyue again, and said to her, "I'm actually not interested in medical skills. I think poison is more interesting."
Shui Xingyue's originally smiling eyes suddenly widened. She immediately grabbed Lu Qingtang's shoulders and shook her hard, "Great, Sister Xiaohua, why are you like me? I also like poison! We are really in love with each other. A pair!"
Lu Qingtang's eyes showed horror.
She suddenly felt that the girl in front of her was a psychopath.
She is crazy!
She said very calmly: "Can we use a normal word? This word makes it seem like neither of us are good people."
Shui Xingyue chuckled, "Since you like to study poisons, let me let my nephew Shui Yunchuan teach you."
Lu Qingtang felt a little strange, "Don't you know how?"
Shui Xingyue pouted, "I think my mother and father won't let me learn not only poison, but also medical skills. They are afraid that I will be like my third sister, who will disappear after learning medical skills..."
Speaking of this, her eye circles were a little red, "I really don't understand why you have to control me, don't let me go out, don't let me do anything, I'm like a bird in a cage, annoying died!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became, and tears fell from her eyes.
Seeing her crying, Lu Qingtang quickly hugged her and patted her gently on the back.
She didn't say anything to comfort her, she just let her cry.
Only by venting her grievances can she feel better.
In fact, Lu Qingtang was particularly able to understand the thoughts of the Valley Master and his wife after having a child.
They don't want Mercury to disappear suddenly like Mercury and leave no trace in this world.
But they ignore the important point, that is, Mercury is an individual, she is a separate person, she has her own ideas. You cannot copy the mistakes of the previous child to another child. This is wrong.
Shui Xingyue cried for a while, and sat on the steps with Lu Qingtang and chatted about their childhood.
She said that she had been locked up in Yaowang Valley all day since she was born and was not allowed to go out.
At first, she was ignorant and thought that Yaowang Valley was the biggest place. But gradually she grew up, and suddenly found that she had played with every corner of Yaowang Valley, and it became boring.
She sneaked out of the dog hole, and then she realized that the outside world was much bigger than Yaowang Valley.
Later, she went out to play in the dog hole without any problem, made various good friends outside, and learned new things with them.
Suddenly one day, she spilled the beans and her parents discovered the dog hole. They accused her, frightened her by telling her about the third sister, and then blocked the dog hole, and she was imprisoned in the Medicine King Valley again.
She was going crazy from the suffocation, and she desperately wanted to escape from this prison-like place.
Later, she escaped while the people guarding Taniguchi were not paying attention and became the Three Heroes of Jinshan. During that time, she was very happy and happy.
She still misses it.
Shui Xingyue said to Lu Qingtang: "Sister Xiaohua, you don't know, if it weren't for those bullshit Chen Wang and his wife, I would still be my Three Heroes of Jinshan on Jinshan Mountain. It's all their fault!"
Hearing this, Lu Qingtang couldn't help but blush.
She knew clearly that she was scolding her, but she still couldn't refute it. She really felt like a big wronged person.
She had to pretend not to understand and asked her, "What are the Three Heroes of Jinshan and King Chen, I don't understand? Have they offended you?"
Shui Xingyue chuckled, "That's not the point. The point is that Princess Chen. She looks very similar to me. If you look at my face, you can see her. She is very annoying, but I also like her very much." She is so annoying."
Lu Qingtang was confused, "What do you mean? The more I listen, the more confused I become."
Shui Xingyue continued: "She is very gentle and treats me very well, better than my parents. Knowing that I am injured and cannot eat hard food, she cooks porridge for me and adds meat to the porridge. I think she is very kind." Okay. But she eradicated the Three Heroes of Jinshan, leaving me with no place to go but to stay in the Medicine King Valley. I hate her!"
Hearing this, Lu Qingtang didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
She actually had a love-hate entanglement with a little girl. This was too ridiculous.
At this time, the little girl next to him sighed.
She looked at Lu Qingtang, put her arm around her, leaned on her shoulder and said, "Actually, I'm very grateful to you, really. In fact, my mother and I had a fight that day, and I vented all the resentment I had accumulated over the years. She didn't say anything, just turned around and left. I didn't see her all morning. I regretted saying such hurtful words to her. She is so old and is about to be in a coffin, and she still has to worry about me and my three children. I’m afraid she won’t be able to think about my sister’s affairs.”
She raised her face, tears streaming down her face, "Really, really thank you very much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would regret it. Rather than freedom, I hope my parents can be safe, and I hope my sister can come back to give them peace of mind." . I’m actually not that ignorant. I’m quite obedient. I’m not a bad girl..."
Before she finished speaking, she lay in Lu Qingtang's arms and started crying again. While crying, she told her inner grievances and unwillingness, and kept thanking her.
Lu Qingtang felt sour in his heart, bitter and astringent, and very uncomfortable.
She knew that she was a good girl, she just did weird things, but her starting point was normal people's logic.
Everyone has moments of rebellion. At that time, she might not understand why she did what she did, but she understood.
She wants freedom, but she also likes the feeling of home.
Feeling suffocated at home, feeling lonely after escaping from home, moving from one extreme to the other.
Shui Xingyue cried for a long time and stopped. She leaned on her shoulder and asked her: "Sister Xiaohua, where do you think my third sister is?"
Lu Qingtang said very calmly: "Dead."
Shui Xingyue turned around with dissatisfaction on her face, "You're talking nonsense!"
Lu Qingtang smiled and said, "Actually, you know it, and your parents know it too, but you just don't want to admit it. But this is the fact, and it is also the fact if you don't admit it."
She leaned her head closer again, "You are right, my third sister is gone. I will definitely be filial to them in the future. Although I cannot replace third sister, I will still provide for them until they die."
Lu Qingtang also leaned his head on hers, "You are a good girl, the best girl I have ever seen."
The two chatted for a while, and Shui Xingyue took her to Baichuan Residence, where Shui Yunchuan lived.
After explaining his intention to come, Shui Yunchuan expressed his acceptance of Lu Qingtang as an "apprentice".
Facing this silly guy, she wasn't sure she could get any information about her mother. She wanted to take a look first before talking about it.
