PFC Chapter 159 Hiring a Bodyguard
Chapter 159 Hiring a Bodyguard
At around four o'clock in the Yin hour (3:00-4:59), Zhao Huanxi tidied herself up, sneaked out of her room, walked towards Xu Qingzhao's room, and knocked gently on her window three times.
After a while, she came out, looking refreshed and energetic. She didn't look like someone who had just woken up from a nap.
Zhao Huanxi gestured to the backyard to discuss the matter. At this hour, even a pinprick of air could be spotted. This was the downside of having too many people in the house.
"Qing Zhao, you didn't sleep at night, why are you so energetic?" She was so curious. They slept for the same amount of time, but why was she so energetic?
"I sleep for a short time, three hours is enough."
The two walked towards the woods in the dark. Huanxi envied this short biological clock. She had to sleep for eight hours a day, which was four hours. Any less sleep would be disrespectful to herself...
After entering the forest along the road I often took, I soon heard the sound of large animals rustling in the woods.
It's been less than ten minutes since we came in, and it will take a long time to reach the pool. How could these animals come back so quickly?
In an instant, a tiger head emerged from the woods. Zhao Huanxi was about to call out "Brother Tai", but when he looked closely, he found that the tiger stripes were not Brother Tai's.
"Benefactor! It's really you! Benefactor, benefactor, benefactor, benefactor!"
"Xiaohua! Are you Xiaohua? Are you okay? So soon?"
Hearing this haunting voice, Xiaohua quickly rushed out and stuck to Huanxi, almost knocking her off balance with her enthusiasm.
"Hey, hey, hey, Xiaohua, slow down. My body can't stand your tossing and turning. Relax."
Although Xiaohua is smaller than Taige, she still weighs more than 200 pounds. For Zhao Huanxi, she is a super big guy.
"My benefactor, my benefactor, I will take you to find Xiaocao, Xiaoqing, and Xiaobai."
"Okay, then walk slower. It's dark and I can't see the road clearly. I can't catch up with you."
He turned around and grabbed Xu Qingzhao's hand, then followed Xiaohua's steps through the woods.
Since drinking Huanxi's blood, Xiaohua has become full of energy in just a few days. It has also noticed the changes in itself. Not only is it as light as a swallow, but it also has a keen sense of smell.
As soon as Zhao Huanxi entered the woods, it smelled something in the cave, and rushed over, asking Huanxi to pet it.
When we arrived at the pond, Brother Tai was already waiting there. The two cubs were still energetic, but the little green cub in the tree looked listless.
It's early September now. In two months, Xiaoqing will be going into hibernation. Isn't it too early to start feeling sleepy now?
So he told Xiaobai what he was thinking and begged him to catch two rabbits. Xiaobai immediately ran away excitedly after hearing that.
Xiaoqing generously called a few snakes and ordered them to follow Huanxi down the mountain to guard the gate.
I even saw some old snakes, Big Black and Little Black. They were the two black snakes that helped Lu Fa catch last time. After not seeing them for so long, these two snakes have grown bigger and grown a lot.
"Please give your instructions, Immortal."
Zhao Huanxi squatted down and said, "It's still the same place as last time. I will go there every day to bring you food. If there are any bad guys, bite them and don't let them enter my yard. Do you understand, Xiaohei?"
"Yes." After saying that, he disappeared into the night and headed towards Huanxi's home.
After spending the past few months with Xiaoqing, she gradually began to be less afraid of snakes and called Xiaoqing down from the tree.
Huanxi reached out and slowly touched Xiaoqing's forehead, feeling its temperature. No wonder snakes are cold-blooded animals. Xiaoqing was not only not warm, but also icy cold.
If I take it home in the summer and use it as a pillow... I'm afraid it would scare me to death if I opened my eyes in the middle of the night.
"Huanhuan, your touch feels so good." Xiaoqing's shrill voice pulled Huanxi out of her fantasy.
"Xiaoqing, are you going to hibernate?"
"Yes, Huanhuan. When the fruits on the cliff are ripe, I will eat them and then go to sleep for a long time."
The fruit on the cliff... isn't it the Seven Soul Grass? Yes, yes, yes, wait until it's ripe, pick the fruit and store it. Next year, we'll have a large supply of Seven Soul Grass to sell.
She remembered that this herb was also very easy to prepare: the roots, stems, leaves, and fruit, all separated and aired, were collectively called Seven Soul Grass. The roots were called Cloud Brocade Dragon Whiskers, the stems and leaves were called Cloud Mist Phoenix Tail, and the fruit, when taken out, had a name that was both childish and scary.
"Ghost Abyss Soul-Devouring Fruit." Longan Hunwu Fruit. It sounds a bit like Henan dialect, but it flows so smoothly. Reading it this way, it feels like it was tailor-made for me.
"Xiaoqing, when you know which fruit is ripe, remember to send a snake to tell me so I can borrow some from the back mountain."
Xiaoqing said it was no problem. Xu Qingzhao, on the other hand, stared at Xiaohua intently. Was this really the dying tiger from last time?
It’s only been a short time...how come you’re already jumping up and down?
She turned around and looked at Huanxi, who was also full of energy. Her hand injury also healed very quickly. In such a short time, the wound had healed, with only a little scab left.
Could Huanxi really be a fairy? She could heal illnesses and save lives with just a little blood. Would Huanxi's powers one day run out and she return to heaven?
"Qing Zhao, Qing Zhao, Qing Zhao!"
When she came to her senses, she found that Huanxi had walked to the opposite side of her and called her several times.
"Huanhuan, what's wrong?"
Huanxi held two fat rabbits in her hands and raised them to take credit: "Look at the rabbits Xiaobai caught. I promised Ah Chu that I would cook some rabbits for her. And what are you thinking about? I've called you several times. Go home. It's almost dawn."
"Oh, okay."
When he got home, he tied up the rabbit and threw it into the kitchen, then went back to bed. In a short while, Zhao Huanxi fell asleep. Unfortunately, he was woken up after only two hours of sleep, saying that the well diggers had arrived.
She quickly washed up, changed into simple clothes and went to the backyard. The well was located in the backyard so she didn't have to go to other places to fetch water.
She was quite curious about how people could see the underground water there in ancient times when there were no detectors.
So he hurried to the backyard. Su Yun had already packed the important things into the warehouse and locked it tightly with a key to prevent others from stealing them. He also moved a small stool and sat there, staring at the group of people intently.
"Uncle Li Hai!"
"Girl, I've looked at your backyard and there's only one place suitable for digging a well."
"Where?"
He pointed to the bottom of the toilet. It hadn't rained recently, but there were dewdrops on the plants there, and the soil was still slightly damp. It was obvious that there was abundant groundwater.
There is only one problem. The septic tank is outside the wall here. The water will seep into the underground river... The water in this well is a bit disgusting to drink.
So he said, "Uncle, is there any other place? I want to dig a deep well so that I can have water even during droughts."
"Then this is the only way. Son, get out the dried wormwood."
Zhao Huanxi saw the hay and wondered what it could be used for. Was it some kind of ceremony?
I saw Uncle Li Hai walk to the highest point of the yard with hay, squat down and light the pile of mugwort. A puff of green smoke came out but did not fly into the sky. It just crawled on the ground along the lines on the ground like a big snake, twisting and turning like a cigarette cake.
Li Hai suddenly seemed to have discovered something. He squatted on the ground, shoveled the soil twice, and shouted in surprise:
"Ah! Got it! Got it!"
