Chapter 195 Are you hiding from me?
In the next few days, Mu Yao would follow Li Yan to the medicine store to withdraw medicinal materials every day.
Seeing that she was very interested, Li Yan took her to visit several other smaller medicine warehouses.
"Ali, did your young master know that you brought me here?" Mu Yao asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, sister. Our young master said that as long as it's in the East District, you can go wherever you want."
Li Yan flashed under an old birch tree and picked a black magic mushroom.
Mu Yao had seen Li Yan's skills more than once and exclaimed in amazement: "Ah Li, you are so fast, almost catching up with lightning!"
Li Yan threw the magic mushroom into the backpack and flashed back to her side, smiling confidently: "My speed is the fastest in the valley, but... this is all I can boast." He scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Ali, are the other three areas here very dangerous?" It would have been better if Li Yan didn't mention it, as mentioning it aroused her curiosity.
Wei Wushang said that the Poison Valley was very dangerous, but she hadn't seen a single poisonous insect since she came here.
Mu Yao didn't think Wei Wushang would talk nonsense. Poison Valley, Poison Valley, just hearing the name, you can tell how dangerous this place is.
Li Yan tilted his head, his delicate eyebrows twisted into a straight line.
Seeing his embarrassment, Mu Yao understood what was going on and smiled, "Ali, it's getting late, let's go back."
"Sister, there's nothing much there, just a lot of poisonous insects, poisonous plants and poisonous flowers. There are also countless traps. I can't remember all the locations, so it would be very dangerous to take you there."
Li Yan couldn't bear to see his beautiful sister disappointed, so he told her a small part of the truth. Seeing that Mu Yao remained silent, he added: "Our young master knows the location of all the traps there. If he is willing to take you in, there will definitely be no problem."
Li Yan passed the problem directly to Shi Jingchan, happily took Mu Yao's hand and skipped with her back to Luoxia Courtyard.
Mu Yao shook her head and put her mind back on Xiao Douxue's injury. His condition is getting better day by day. He can start the second course of treatment tomorrow, and I believe he will be able to return to Dayun soon.
Recently, she had looked for Shi Jingchan several times, wanting to confirm the money for the medicine with him. He seemed to be avoiding her on purpose, and every time she looked for him, the servants said he was not there.
Mu Yao could only seek advice from Shi Xianhe and Hua Yuerong. Unexpectedly, they just said "no rush" and nothing happened, which suddenly increased her psychological pressure.
When Xiao Douxue saw Mu Yao coming back, he walked towards her tremblingly with his cane, like an old man in his octogenarian.
"Madam, what did Uncle Shi say?"
Mu Yao shook her head.
Xiao Douxue thought for a while and said, "Then put it aside for now and let Dad handle it when we get back."
The favors of Poison Valley are not so easy to owe. Xiao Douxue will not be at peace until he returns them. Especially Shi Jingchan's unrivaled appearance puts a lot of pressure on him. Every time his wife looks at that man, he feels more threatened.
Mu Yao felt that what Xiao Douxue said made sense and calmed down a little.
This time, we traveled thousands of miles to the Poison Valley, but we didn't even see the shadow of a living god. Instead, we encountered one danger after another along the way.
She stared at the cane under Xiao Douxue's armpit and again began to think about exchanging it for a "living immortal".
Shi Xianhe's attitude was unclear, and Mu Yao thought it was a polite refusal. At the moment, she didn't have any comparable elixir, so it would be difficult to ask for some fairy whiskers in exchange.
It is not necessary to use a "living immortal" to refine Emperor Qingyuan's anti-aging pill, but if they don't bring back even a little bit of it now, Xiao Douxue's injury and the dangers they experienced along the way would be in vain. After thinking about it, he felt unwilling.
At night, the bright lights are hung high again, stretching as far as the eye can see, as if a golden crow is hidden among them, illuminating the entire valley with a red light, as if it were smeared with a layer of bright rouge.
There was a faint fluorescent light flickering in Luoyun Courtyard.
Mu Yao stared at the figure reflected in the window, hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in again.
"I know your young master is in the room. I saw him." She said before the servant could speak.
The servant pursed his lips, glanced back at the shadowy figure on the window porch, and rubbed his hands awkwardly.
"Miss Mu, our young master just returned not long ago. Please wait a moment. I will go and report to you."
Mu Yao waved her hand: "No need, it's just a few steps away, I can go by myself. Or does your young master Youdao not want to see me?"
Since she went to the medicine storehouse that day, she had never seen Gu Shijingchan again. Mu Yao thought about it afterwards and roughly knew what he was angry about.
"No, no, how could that be? Our young master has never thought about it, let alone said it." The servant's palms were sweating from nervousness. He knew that the young master had gone too far. How could a girl come several times and not see him? The key point is that the young master didn't go back to visit her. Who wouldn't be suspicious?
Mu Yao smiled slightly, walked past the servants and went straight into the courtyard.
The moment the door opened, their eyes met and they were both stunned.
Shi Jingchan didn't expect Mu Yao to come straight into the house to find him. His undershirt was draped loosely on his body without being tied around the waist, revealing his lean figure with distinct ridges in his upper body.
A strong smell of hormones rushed towards her, and Mu Yao quickly turned her back, wringing her hands in confusion.
Ten breaths later, when Jingchan had tidied his clothes, a cold voice echoed in the air.
"come in."
The two of them sat at the table. Shi Jingchan raised his hand to pick up the teapot, and the tea fell into the tea bowl. Two clouds of white mist rose up, and the fragrance of tea instantly filled the air and penetrated into his lungs.
Mu Yao looked at the furnishings in the room. There was no wall on the east side, only thin curtains. The entire golden nanmu bed faced a large blue lake.
. . . Is this a lake view room?
She could no longer suppress her shock and asked, "Will you... feel cold at night?"
It is the hottest summer now. The dew is heavy in the valley at night and the air is chilly, which is not as cold as outside, not to mention the cold winter with biting north winds.
"My body doesn't feel cold." Shi Jingchan paused for a moment, poured more water into the teapot, and placed it on the stove beside him.
The cold touch and strange pulse condition that day flashed through Mu Yao's mind. She picked up the teacup and took a sip with lingering fear.
Neither of them spoke again. The crackling sound of burning charcoal was heard in the room, quietly alleviating the awkward silence.
"That day, I felt the patient's pulse for the first time, which was neither life nor death. I was probably too shocked. It didn't mean anything else. Don't take it to heart." Mu Yao broke the silence.
"Do you care about what I think?" Shi Jingchan's tall fingers tapped the teacup intentionally or unintentionally, and he stared at Mu Yao deeply, making it difficult to see the emotion in his eyes.
