C52 (1/2)
It had to be said that Old Man Ji was a genius of the medical way. Xie Jingxi was stupefied when she entered the pharmacy. This pharmacy was similar to the greenhouse that was usually used to grow flowers and flowers, however, its construction cost was not low and it was difficult to manage. The key point was that you had to have the strange flowers and plants that were worth their ancestors to be able to display their value.
Therefore, if it wasn't a rich person who loved to spend flowers, no matter how rich a person was, they wouldn't be able to make something like this to occupy space in the courtyard. For example, a large courtyard house like the Marquis Anfeng Palace wouldn't even be able to enjoy this kind of room.
Old Man Ji's pharmacy had at least three to four acres of land, and the entire courtyard was a third of the land. Including the ones raised outside, it could be said that his family's entire garden was an actual herb garden.
No matter if it was the Southern Warmth Real Estate or the Northern Snow Mountain, it was something that he could actually raise. He had everything that he could only see in books, and some that even Xie Jingxi could not name. Aside from that, the Old Man Ji had also raised many poisonous creatures, like snake holes, bee holes, spider holes, all kinds of snake holes. Every single one of them could also be raised together according to the laws of nature, which was truly amazing.
”Wait a moment, you're not familiar with this place. If you turn around, you might step on something to bite you.”
Gu Yun had initially followed her perfectly, but the moment he made a mistake, he told Xie Jingxi to slip away. He chased behind her, afraid that she would fall into the snake hole. He walked quickly and pulled his into his arms, not daring to make her leave. ”I've never seen a girl like you, who actually likes these things. Don't worry, you can take what you want, no one will fight with you for it.”
Xie Jingxi was already in a daze, she did not hear it from the start, she only followed his words and said: ”I cannot take it, there are many things I cannot raise, after leaving this place, I will become blind, but there are some mature medicinal ingredients that I can take back to refine.”
Xie Jingxi suddenly turned around, and asked shamelessly: ”Is this really okay? Grandfather has such an easy to raise treasure, it's not appropriate for me to take it away like this, right?”
Gu Yun laughed and looked at her, and could not help but pinch her cheeks, ”If I told you I want something, then take it.
Xie Jingxi was relieved, and she immediately turned around to pick a few ingredients that were not easy to obtain. She did not pick any that were too expensive, but she was very satisfied with her.
was holding onto the herbs in her hands, she did not notice the bottom of her feet, it turned out that she had unknowingly entered a place that was similar to a swamp, and there was a special type of poison and medicinal herb that could be used in the miasma of the south, Xie Jingxi recognised it, it was said to have a miraculous effect on cough and asthma, just as she was about to pick some, she suddenly slipped and was about to carry them into the mud.
On the surface it looked no different from any other land, but in order to create a hot and humid environment, there was a body of water below, and it was impossible to tell how the old man had managed it. The grass was grown on top, and below it grew some poisonous substances that were peculiar to water, such as jellyfish and cannibal flowers.
The moment Xie Jingxi stepped on it, she knew that it wasn't good, but it was already too late. Just when she thought she was about to be trapped and feed some man-eating flowers or something, a strong force suddenly came from her wrist. When Gu Yun turned around and saw her, he was so shocked that his heart almost stopped. Luckily he was only a few steps away from her, grabbing onto her at the last moment.
Xie Jingxi was so frightened that she almost couldn't react in an instant. Was it Gu Yun who brought her out just now, that Gu Yun's martial arts were actually so good?
Last time at the Marquis Mansion, Xie Jingxi only thought that he was relying on her strong and robust physique, and didn't think that she knew any martial arts at all. Wasn't his body very weak?
However, Gu Yun didn't know about all these messy thoughts in her mind. He was still angered to the point of hitting her butt, ”If you don't listen to me, then I'll be scared to death when I tell you what I'm going to do!”
Xie Jingxi was really speechless. Lowering his head, his head drooped down like a young wife, ”I, I was wrong, wasn't I?”
No matter how angry he was, he would not be able to vent his anger. This wife of his was truly hardworking, yet she was so obedient, her attitude was simply too good. Although he did not know if admitting her wrongs could change it, Gu Yun's face was no longer unshakable.
”Where are you wrong?”
”I, I shouldn't be more than two steps away from you. I shouldn't just focus on picking the medicine and not look at the bottom of my feet. I promise I won't offend you again. Can you please not call me in from now on?”
Gu Yun felt as if something was grabbing his liver and scratching his lungs, what did it mean to be crafty, what did it mean to be easy on others, it was clear that he did not have the heart to do anything to her, and was taking the right medicine. He had even thought about what he wanted to say in advance. Who would have the heart to say a word of disapproval towards such a obedient appearance?
But in the end, Gu Yun was not an ordinary person, he still straightened his face and fiercely poked her on the forehead with his finger, ”Do you know what's underneath there? If you were to descend any further, I wouldn't be able to pull you back, I wouldn't even be able to pull ten of you down, and I still wouldn't dare to call you over.
”Puff …”
Xie Jingxi couldn't hold it in anymore, she was laughing so hard that she was shaking on his shoulder. Gu Yun did not know whether to laugh or cry.
”Do you really need to go on laughing? Let's see how you cry then.”
