It was late at night, and Bailihuan was extracting medicine alone in the lobby. By treating Xiang Hongji, he found a way to deal with the poison in Night Ghost Gate, but the method was too cumbersome, and he was optimizing the process.
Suddenly I heard someone knocking on the door gently.
"Come in!" He didn't look back. At this hour, there was no one else except Feng Nanjing.
However, the light footsteps and the faint smell of powder surprised him.
Turning his head, it was Xiang Hongji.
"Why are you here, Miss Xiang? Are you still not feeling well?" Bailihuan thought that the toxins in her body had not yet been removed.
"It's healed. It's just the life-saving grace of Brother Bailihuan. The little girl will never forget it. I just passed by here and saw the lights on in the house, so I took the liberty to bother and see if I can help. After all, I have been in the Poison Sect for many years, and I have no experience in refining. I have some experience in making medicine." Xiang Hongji spoke softly, for fear of upsetting Baili Huan.
The two sects of poison and witchcraft have the same origin. Bailihuan knew that what she said was true. He came to the casserole where the medicine was being boiled and said: "The juice of wind bamboo and vine solidifies in the wind. You can buy it from the drug store and boil it into a paste." After using it, I found that the detoxification effect is even better when supplemented with Ziqing leaves. However, Ziqing leaves are not easily soluble in water, and there are still many debris after simmering for three hours. The final effect will definitely be greatly reduced, and I am worried about this matter. "
"Can't you bake it in a frying pan?" Xiang Hongji asked when she saw the unused frying pan on the table.
Baili Huan shook his head and said, "That won't work either. Ziqing leaves are brittle and thin and will burn easily when exposed to fire. I've tried many times but can't succeed."
"My little sister has seen a way, but I don't know if it will work." Xiang Hongji recalled the past.
"Say." Bailihuan couldn't wait.
Xiang Hongji said softly: "I once saw the leader of the Poison Sect handle the medicinal materials like this. Wait for the firewood in the stove to burn out and leave it for a while. Then wrap the medicinal materials with tinfoil and put them into the burned ashes, just like roasting sweet potatoes. I don't know how Zi Zong used it. Qingye, can you handle it like this?"
"I have never tried this method." Bailihuan heard that it made sense. Just as the firewood in the stove burned out, he found a few purple leaves wrapped in tinfoil and stuffed them under the stove, covering them with ashes.
After two cups of tea, he took out the tinfoil from the ashes and called it.
A surprising scene appeared. The originally dry and hard leaves turned into grease and stuck to the tin foil.
"Thank you for your advice, Miss." Having solved the problem that had been bothering him for many days, Baili was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Hong Ji.
Xiang Hongji jumped away and said, "Brother Bailihuan, you're welcome. I just said it casually and by mistake."
Baili Huan saw that the experiment was successful, so he weighed the proportions of various medicinal materials again and made it again.
Xiang Hongji has quick eyesight and quick hands. She knows how to cooperate without having to explain anything specifically and is there to help.
"Brother Bailihuan, why don't you find someone to help? This will reduce a lot of work and make it faster." Xiang Hongji said deliberately.
Baili Huan smiled lightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you get used to it alone. Besides, with Feng Nanjing and the others helping, it won't waste time."
"That won't work. After all, their men are clumsy and not as careful as us girls. How about I stay and serve Brother Bailihuan." Xiang Hongji didn't mince words and spoke directly from her heart.
Baili Huan seemed to have known what Xiang Hongji was thinking. She shook her head and said: "The poison and witch sects have been at odds since ancient times. They have been fighting and killing each other for a long time. I can't explain it to you when I take you back. Besides, there is a man and a woman alone. Being together will make others gossip."
"I don't." Xiang Hongji immediately knelt down and hugged Bailihuan's thigh.
Bailihuan was startled and couldn't escape even if he wanted to. He said in a panic: "Get up, you, what are you going to do?"
Xiang Hongji shed tears and said pitifully: "You may already know my past. I was alone and unloved and bullied since I was a child. With the help of the Shengchao brothers, I finally escaped from the bitter sea of the Poison Sect. I just want to do my duty as a human being. .”
Speaking of her sadness, Xiang Hongji sobbed and sobbed: "I have no family or friends. I am alone and have no friends. I just want to find someone to care about me and be considerate. Is it so difficult? I am a miserable person!" "
Xiang Hongji cried bitterly,
She hugged Bailihuan's thigh and wiped her tears on his robe.
Bailihuan was in a dilemma and compromised: "Okay, you get up first. If you have any questions, can we discuss it tomorrow?"
"Not good." Xiang Hongji sobbed, "I heard that Brother Bailihuan lost his wife in his early years and never married again. I don't dare to have any extravagant expectations. I will be satisfied if I can be my servant girl. I ask you to make it happen."
Baili Huan sighed and said regretfully: "My wife and I were childhood sweethearts. Unfortunately, she died of a dystocia and one body and two lives. Even if I have medical skills, I can't do anything about it. From now on, I am despondent and concentrate on my medical skills, hoping to save more people." I couldn't take you in at that time, so I hope you can understand me."
"But, I don't have any evil intentions. I just ask my eldest brother to take me in and give me a place to stay. Is it so difficult?" Seeing Bailihuan's expressionless expression, she burst into tears immediately.
Baili Huan helped her up: "Don't force me, just let me think about it for a few days, okay?"
"If the benefactor who saved me doesn't even want me, what's the point of living? It's better to die." Xiang Hongji cried so hard that she picked up the knife on the table for cutting medicinal materials and stabbed her chest.
"No." Bai Lihuan stretched out his hand to stop her. The knife had already penetrated Xiang Hongji's chest, and blood seeped out from the hem of her clothes.
Baili Huan grabbed the knife and threw it away. Xiang Hongji's body went limp and was about to fall. Baili Huan stepped forward and held her in her arms.
"What are you doing?" Bailihuan blamed herself and felt regretful.
Xiang Hongji burst into tears and said, "I just want to have a family, is it so difficult?"
Bailihuan gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll keep you, but you have to change your mind and be a good person, and you can't do anything wrong."
"I can do it. I saw Feng Nanjing in danger that day. At that time, I only knew that he was a disciple of the Wu Sect, so I went to help him without hesitation. I can do this." Xiang Hongji nodded frequently.
Baili Huan hesitated for a moment and said: "You are also a well-known figure in the Poison Sect. If you are not suitable to be my disciple, you can be my deputy first and help refine the medicinal materials."
"I have no problem, thank you, Brother Bailihuan." Xiang Hongji was about to salute excitedly, but with an "ah" sound, the severe pain in her chest made her almost fall.
Baili Huan helped her lie down on the table, lifted up a corner of her clothes and sprinkled her with wound medicine to stop the bleeding.
"Fortunately, the wound is not deep. You are not allowed to harm yourself in the future." Bailihuan scolded like a big brother.
"I know." Being able to stay, he burst into tears of excitement towards Beniji.
When leaving, Bailihuan gave her a piece of cloth to bandage the wound and told her to go back and wrap it up to prevent all the wound medicine from being rubbed off.
The next day when the rooster sang at dawn, Lu Jin woke up first, while Xiang Hongji beside her was still asleep.
"Sister, sister, it's time to get up." Lu Jin pushed her slowly, Xiang Hongji had no idea.
"You're lazier than me." Lu Jin muttered in a low voice, got up to wash up, and went to the front yard to see the old lady boiling hot water, so he brought the wash water and placed it outside Gu Shengchao's door.
"Brother Gu, the wash water is here." Lu Jin knocked on the door gently.
The ancient sage came out to wash up and accidentally saw the silver bracelet on Lu Jin's wrist. He was immediately stunned: "Hey, when did you buy it? Why have I never seen it before?"
"This!" Lu Jin raised his hand and said proudly: "Sister Xiang Hongji insisted on marrying me as a sister of the opposite sex last night, so she gave it to me."
"Do you have any gifts there? Do you want me to give her one for you?" Gu Shengchao wet a towel and wiped his face.
Lu Jin muttered, "I gave her the necklace that Brother Gu gave me without your permission. If it's inappropriate, I'll ask her to get it back."
Gu Shengchao laughed loudly: "That thing is already yours. You have the final say whether you give it away or not. I have no control over it."
Lu Jin felt relieved, poured out the water after Gu Shengchao finished washing, and took the basin back to the front yard, where he happened to meet Baili Huan.
"Well, is Miss Xiang's injury feeling better?" Bailihuan asked after hesitation.
Lu Jin was puzzled: "What, she was injured again? Where was the injury?"
Baili Huan quickly waved her hand and said, "Then it'll be fine. It shouldn't be a big problem."
"It's inexplicable." Looking at Bailihuan's leaving back
Lu Jin was puzzled by Ying He's confused questions.
Returning to the dormitory, Lu Jin saw that Xiang Hongji was still sleeping. He carefully lifted up the quilt and checked, and sure enough he saw a bandaged strip of cloth on her chest.
"What are you looking at?" Xiang Hongji woke up at some point and asked softly.
"Mom!" Lu Jin was startled and trembled all over.
"You scared me to death." Lu Jin complained to Xiang Hongji when she woke up.
Xiang Hongji looked angry: "Humph, you lifted up the quilt so early in the morning to look at me, aren't you ashamed?"
Lu Jin quickly covered her up and explained: "I went to the front yard to ask Brother Baili if your injury was better. I was still confused at the time. It turned out that something really happened between you two. Why didn't I know when it happened?"
"Is it really Brother Bailihuan who asked you?" Xiang Hongji asked instead of answering.
Lu Jin nodded and pursed his lips: "We agreed that sisters are of the same mind, but you still hid it from me in the end. I am no longer your sister."
"Good sister, listen to me." Xiang Hongji hugged Lu Jin and told her what happened last night.
Lu Jin was horrified: "You, you actually want to commit suicide just to stay? Even your own life?"
Xiang Hongji said with shame, "I was very emotional at the time, and I'm still scared when I think about it now, but after all, I can find a place to go, and my wish has come true."
She looked at Lu Jin and said happily: "If I hadn't heard my sister tell you about your experience last night, I wouldn't have made up my mind to do this. Tell me what wishes you have and my sister will satisfy you."
Lu Jin leaned on her and said to himself: "I grew up in the Boat Gang. I had never left there before. I thought that the whole world was the same. Later, when I traveled with Brother Gu, I realized that there are thousands of differences between the world and the world. , now I just want to learn more skills and can’t become a burden to Brother Gu.”
"Well, sister will teach you a skill now." Xiang Hongji said and stood up in the middle of the room.
"Watch it."
Xiang Hongji said, took a few steps back and disappeared from Lu Jin's sight.
