Chapter 174: Seeking Medicine

"Okay, okay, I understand, you sit down and rest first." Taohua helped Su Jinchen aside, and then went in to clean up the smoky cave made by Su Jinchen.

Su Jinchen looked at Taohua running around and said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, I originally wanted to help you."

Taohua didn't have time to comfort him. After finally cleaning the cave, she wiped the sweat and sat next to Su Jinchen. Seeing his disappointed look, she couldn't help laughing, "You young man, it's good enough that you didn't burn the cave. I didn't say anything. You are still sad."

Seeing Su Jinchen explaining, Taohua waved her hand, "I know what you are going to say, and I know you want to share some of it for me. I am very grateful and moved by this. This time it won't work. Then we'll be fine next time. But you are not in good health yet and need more rest. When you take good care of your body, we will cook together. The days will be long in the future, and it's not at this time."

"Yes." Su Jinchen was only in a state of excitement, and the tenderness and sweetness of his eyes made him almost drown in it and couldn't get out.

However, before I forget the important matter, peach blossoms were forgotten, he told Su Jinchen, "Old man Zhao said he was short of several medicinal materials. Brother and sister all went to help find them. I am idle here anyway. I have more people and more strength. I will prepare meals for you later. You can wait here. If you are bored, read books, and lie down to rest when you are tired. I will come back in the evening. Don't leave."

Su Jinchen's eyes flashed and he nodded with a smile.

So the next two days, Peach Blossoms went out early and came back late, but the food prepared for Su Jinchen was not careless at all. She was not willing to eat the snacks that Lihua brought to her at all, so she left them all for Su Jinchen. She was also in a hurry to eat. Sometimes she simply stopped eating, picked up the steamed buns and ran out.

Su Jinchen picked up the paper on the table and looked it up. He knew that Taohua was afraid that he would be bored and refused to read the "useless" books like "The Book of Antonyms", so he wrote for him specifically, all of which were streamlined adaptations such as some jokes and sketches that Taohua saw in her previous life. She couldn't remember the complete ones, but it was enough to make the young boy a thousand years ago read them with relish. But the word Taohua really didn't quite match.

Su Jinchen saw many words on it, and wrote a peach blossom incorrectly, then made a cross or directly painted it into circles with ink and then rewritten it. He also remembered the way the peach blossoms were yawning and rubbing their eyes and writing hard last night, and his heart was sore and soft.

On this day, Su Jinchen found the hidden veil and planned to take it to the river to clean it. However, he saw a person squatting by the river from afar, which was peach blossoms.

She saw that her arms were covered with scratches and her hair was messy. She was washing her face against the water and tidying her hair and clothes. Then she sat down and rested. When her breath was stable, she stood up with satisfaction and carried a small basket with a lot of herbs next to her.

When Taohua returned to the cave, she saw Su Jinchen boiling water and cooking. After that day, Taohua taught her briefly. Su Jinchen learned very quickly, at least she would make a fire, and she always had to help Taohua when cooking. Taohua was worried about his body and thought about letting him do something, so she could save her thoughts and many things were caused by people too idle.

"Is the road going smoothly? Isn't you injured?" Su Jinchen poured a glass of water for Taohua and handed it over.

Taohua took it and drank it in one breath. She pursed her lips on her back and smiled and said, "How could she be injured? I have been running these days and I can find a way with my eyes squinted, but I am too stupid. Although Old Man Zhao drew the drawings, the appearance of the medicinal materials still couldn't tell the difference. Fortunately, I picked all the similar ones. Look, there are so many!"

The peach blossoms offered treasures as if they were slowly lifting a basket of green plants, which were not known as medicinal materials or grass, to Su Jinchen.

Su Jinchen smiled, put the basket aside, and reached out to hug the peach blossoms in his arms.

"What's wrong with you?" Taohua was stunned, hugged Su Jinchen back, patted him with accusations, "What's wrong? You can't be moved by me, right? Hehe, then you must treat me well in the future."

"Yes." Su Jinchen hugged the peach blossoms tightly. In his breath, there was a faint fragrance on her body, as fresh as the mountain breeze in May, as warm as the first ray of sunshine in the morning every day. It seemed that no matter how much he said, it was redundant. He just wanted to carefully feel the peace at this moment and the abundance that had never been seen in his heart.

There was no earth-shaking oath, just a plain saying "Yeah", Peach Blossoms seemed to hear the most beautiful oath in the world, and her smile slowly expanded from the corners of her mouth.

"Okay, okay, are you hungry? I'll cook for you." Taohua wanted to push Su Jinchen away.

Su Jinchen didn't let go, but he just heard him say softly: "Wait a little longer, it'll be fine for a while."

So, beside the cave, under the sun, the two of them hugged each other, their ears and necks intertwined, silent and silent. At that moment, the time was quiet and gentle.

The next day, Taohua sent the medicinal materials she found to Old Man Zhao.

"How is it? These medicinal materials are all." Taohua asked.

Old Man Zhao frowned, "Everything else is enough, but there is only one thing that is floating jade grass."

"Fuyucao?" Taohua recalled: "Is it the one that will bloom? I didn't find it, and neither did you find it?"

Old Man Zhao shook his head, "The floating jade grass is mostly grown on high cliffs, with leaves as long as willows, flowers as white as jade. This is also what I discovered when I looked through the ancient books left by my master a few days ago. There are records left by the master. He has traveled to the Wuzhen clan and has seen various strange poisons. This floating jade grass has miraculous effects on detoxification. I believe it is also extremely beneficial to Su Jinchen's illness, but the number is rare and I am afraid it is difficult to find it."

"Isn't it okay without this medicine? I'm afraid Brother Jinchen can't wait." Taohua was anxious and told Old Man Zhao what she found. It turned out that she found a bloody veil hidden by Su Jinchen when she cleaned up the bed last night. She knew that Su Jinchen was afraid that she would worry, so she pretended not to know.

"Have you coughed up blood?" Old Man Zhao sighed, looking at Taohua and stopped talking, but only sighed and said, "It seems that the effect of the life-extending pill can't last too long. Let's do this. I'll go back and prepare a few medicines for him first, and I'll deliver it to you later. Wait for two more days. If I still can't find the floating jade grass, I won't use it for now." Old Man Zhao said.

"If there is Fuyucao, will the medicinal effect be much better?" Taohua asked.

"It's not much better, but it's almost certain that it can be cured." Old Man Zhao said.

"Okay, I understand." Taohua nodded.

Back at the cave, Peach Blossoms set fire to Su Jinchen to make medicinal soup, and then blew it cool down and fed it to him.

Su Jinchen was lying on the bed, feeling a little drowsy. Taohua helped him up, rested his head on his legs, and called him his name gently. Su Jinchen tried hard to open his mouth and drank it.

"This medicine seems to be no longer bitter." Su Jinchen looked at Taohua and said, his lips were pale and thick black medicine soup that looked even more dazzling.

"Yes, your illness is almost cured, so it won't be bitter." Taohua smiled and gently wiped the corners of his mouth.

"Well, I seem to be a little sleepy again." Su Jinchen smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid I can't help you wash the dishes again."

"When you get better, you can clean the dishes every day to compensate me." Taohua's hands trembled and stroked the boy's face.

"Okay." Su Jinchen said with a smile, and the words about to say disappeared into his mouth, leaving only murmuring.
