Chapter 73 Snow Ginseng is Your Lie
Chen Jisheng has always been an upright and almost rigid person.
In his eyes, the most important thing in communication between people is sincerity, and lying is not a good habit.
However, in the recent period, he told three lies in a row.
The first lie is - the reason why he rarely left Yishui Yamen was not to go out to the office to handle official business, but to go to Mount Yi to collect medicine.
The second lie was - the snow ginseng in the box was not given to him by Master Qianhu of Qingzhou Prefecture, but he sneaked into the restricted area of Yishan to pick it himself.
The lie in the third game is - the reason why he suddenly coughed was not because he went to a restaurant to eat chili and got angry, but because he was discovered by the monster under the command of Yishan Snow Girl while quietly picking snow ginseng. , injuring the meridians during the battle, causing disorder of the breath in the body.
If he had not broken through the fourth level "Wangxiang Terrace" at the critical moment and acquired the ability to fly with a sword, he would have died on the towering snow mountain.
However, Chen Jisheng was still confused at this time -
He felt that with Xue Nu's "fierce god" level strength, if she really had murderous intentions, it would be effortless. He can be killed easily, and it is impossible to let him fly away with his sword.
"Is it possible that Yishan Snow Girl is now in a critical period of breakthrough in strength, so it is not convenient for her to take action against me?
" Or, as the rumors say, she is only interested in handsome young people and does not like her at all. An old man like me? "
Chen Jisheng secretly guessed.
But he did not spend too much time thinking about this problem.
The level of "fierce god" level ghosts is too high, Chen Jisheng thought It's useless to say more, just leave it to the saints to have a headache
Chen Jisheng only hoped that this precious snow ginseng could improve Gu Xu's health to a certain extent.
Although the boy's lifeline was injured - even if he took snow ginseng, it might not be able to help him extend his life.
However, as long as Gu Xu can become healthier and stronger, and no longer as sickly as he is now, his trip will be worthwhile.
And Chen Jisheng also knows that although Gu Xu always has a suave and uninhibited smile on his face, he seems not to take anything to heart——
But in reality On the surface, Gu Xu is actually a very proud and strong young man.
On the surface, he may happily accept the favors given to him by others without changing his face, but in fact, he will keep this account firmly in his heart.
If this favor is too heavy, it may become a burden to Gu Xu.
For example.
Suppose a father took his son to a restaurant for a sumptuous and delicious meal on his day off. The son ate with gusto and felt very happy.
But halfway through the meal, the father told his son that the price of this delicious meal was very expensive. He had to work hard at the dock to carry goods for a month in exchange for it. During this period, he not only endured the daily He was exposed to the sun and rain, and sprained his wrists and ankles many times.
Then at this time, what this delicious meal brings to his son will no longer be happiness, but pain and guilt.
By analogy, if Gu Xu knew that he risked his life to pick snow ginseng in Yishan in order to treat him, then with Gu Xu’s character, he would definitely feel extremely guilty deep in his heart feel.
Chen Jisheng did not want Gu Xu to bear any psychological pressure, and he did not want Gu Xu to worry about his injury.
That’s why he pretended to be nonchalant in front of Gu Xu and told the above three understatement lies.
…………
It's a pity that Chen Jisheng had calculated everything, but he missed one thing.
That is, as a time traveler who has lived two lives, Gu Xu's mind is much more mature than Chen Jisheng imagined.
These lies of Chen Jisheng may be able to deceive an ordinary seventeen-year-old boy, but they cannot be deceived by Gu Xu.
At this moment, Gu Xu was in his kitchen, concentrating on making soup with snow ginseng.
He is not a hypocritical person.
He knew that if he wanted to repay this favor, the best way was to eat the snow ginseng with peace of mind, and strive to make himself stronger and live longer, so that he could better share Mr. Chen's worries in the future.
An hour later.
The snow ginseng in the pot is gradually boiled.
The medicinal fragrance spreads and fills the room. The smell is refreshing and refreshing.
Gu Xu opened the lid of the pot and scooped a bowl of ginseng soup for himself, then sat at the dining table and tasted it slowly, spoonful by spoonful. The taste of this ginseng soup is a bit bitter and has a slight earthy smell, which is not delicious at all.
But Gu Xu felt that this was the most delicious food he had ever tasted in his life.
"Gu Xu, how do you feel?"
Shi Xiaohan sat opposite him, holding his chin with his hands, and asked curiously.
Gu Xu smiled and replied: "Very good."
"How good is it?"
"I feel like I will ascend to immortality soon."
While speaking, Gu Xu could clearly feel that the medicinal power of snow ginseng was in his meridians flow and spread.
Like the snow that has just melted in early spring, it is clear and sweet, nourishing every inch of dry land along the way.
His heartbeat accelerated at first, and then gradually became calm and stable.
And a faint color of blood gradually appeared on his pale face.
He stood up slowly.
At this moment, in Shi Xiaohan’s eyes, Gu Xu’s whole person became radiant.
Xiaoxiao is solemn, hearty and clear, the dragon and the phoenix are beautiful, and the nature is natural.
Although a bowl of ginseng soup is not enough to fundamentally change Gu Xu's lean physique, it is even less likely to turn him into a muscular man instantly.
But it greatly improved his spirit.
At least, from the perspective of others, they would no longer regard him as a weak and sick man.
Not to mention being grabbed by the sleeve by a charlatan on the street, selling drugs while earnestly advising: "Young people should not overindulge."
"How about you try it? Newly learned body skills?" Shi Xiaohan suggested.
This morning, Gu Xu's lightning-fast movement left a deep impression on her.
She couldn't wait to see Gu Xu perform it again.
"Okay!" Gu Xu readily agreed.
After that, he used the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique and disappeared into the room.
Shi Xiaohan looked around, but could not find Gu Xu in any corner of the house.
After a while, Gu Xu returned to her.
But at this time, Gu Xu had a bouquet of bright red camellias in his hand.
"I picked this just now on the hills in the suburbs of Yishui," the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good!" Shi Xiaohan replied without hesitation. .
Hearing her words, Gu Xu smiled and put the camellias in the vase on the table.
At this moment, his breathing was a little rapid, but his heartbeat was extremely stable.
The "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique did not bring him any uncomfortable feeling.
Inadvertently, the sound of Chen Jisheng’s cough echoed in his mind.
He sighed silently.
Thanks to book friend Qing Yanyu for giving the character Chen Jisheng a 500 reward!
