Small Lingzhi

Chapter 8

The sun was shining brightly, hanging on the top of Wuqing Mountain, like a hovering golden crow bird.

Lingzhi lost blood, and met such a vicious day again, her head drooped, and she was more lethargic than Xiao Yan who was poisoned, and it would only take a few days to lie down.

At this moment, he woke up from a daze, his body was tired, and he quickly closed his eyes again.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already sunset on the western mountain, his spirit recovered a bit, and the look in his eyes brightened a lot.

Lingzhi got up, sat on the stone in the cave to absorb the coolness, touched it from the side, and slowly ate the accumulated grass.

He did not go out of the cave to eat during his deep sleep, and the grass has not been so fresh for many days.After filling his stomach, Lingzhi got up from the rock, and walked a little outward with a slightly fluffy step.

He looked over the stone bed where he was sleeping and looked at the black-haired man in plain clothes sitting on the hay.

"Junqian, I'm sleeping well."

Lingzhi thought the bed was too hot, so she burrowed into the deepest stone slab in the cave to sleep.

The robe was ripped apart while sleeping, the belt was loose, and the snowy shoulders were half exposed, and he didn't have the slightest etiquette.

Xiao Yan wrote down the strokes of today's "Zheng" character on the stone wall on one side, and saw the blurred and slender figure approaching, the corners of her lips curled up.

"Slept well."

Lingzhi sat obediently beside the man, raised her bright and clear eyes to look carefully, pursed her lips, but couldn't help grinning, revealing her bright teeth.

"Slept well," he rubbed his stomach, "still a little hungry."

He stretched out his hand to touch the man's abdomen, but told Xiao Yan to hold his wrist.

Xiao Yan's complexion was as white as snow, with no trace of blood visible, showing the cyan after poisoning.

Lingzhi lowered her eyes and looked at her grasped wrist, and said in a low voice, "Is Junqian hungry? I see the sun is going down soon, so go out and find something to eat."

Xiao Yan let go of the little medicine man: "Don't be too late."

Ling Zhi hummed, Xiao Yan said again: "I will be worried."

Lingzhi's face and ears turned red, and her eyes that were staring straight at people didn't dare to look any further.

He faltered and said slowly, "Then I'm going out."

Xiao Yan looked at the blurry slender figure with a gentle and honest expression: "Is the belt loose?"

Lingzhi lowered her head, and Baba said, "Oh..."

Just as she put her fingers on her clothes, she inadvertently touched the man's extended hand.

Xiao Yan put away his fingers as if nothing had happened: "Tie up your clothes before going out."

Ling Zhihun nodded absently, and after tying it up, he turned around and left the cave.

As the sun was about to fade away, the valley was filled with loud noises of beasts, and the ferocious beasts would come and go hunting and looking for food in the dark.

Lingzhi gathered around the area. The cave he built is the highest peak in the Wuqing Mountains. It is not uncommon for powerful beasts to fight for territory on this peak.

Lingzhi is also used to wandering in the mountains and encountering wild beasts lying on the riverside and resting on the stones. He can easily take out the grass leaves that usually fill his belly from his arms, and throw them down when he encounters serious bleeding. A few herbs healed them.

Up to now, no beast has made things difficult for his gentle and lovely Ganoderma lucidum.

Lingzhi carried the grass and fruits he had collected with big leaves, and when he returned to the cave, he encountered several wild boars with scars on their noses and eyes.

A few big black guys snorted with their noses, and looked at Lingzhi with round eyes.

Lingzhi stopped holding the leaves tightly, turned her head and looked at them.

After a while, he turned around and took a few steps towards them, picked out a few herbs from the leaves in his arms, smashed them with a stone beside him, and bent down to apply the medicine juice around their wounds.

After applying concoction to the wild boars, Lingzhi turned and left as usual.

There were two large pots of water stored in the cave, and Lingzhi took some boiled potatoes and warmed up some of the leftover bacon given to him by the villagers.

Lingzhi leaned against the rocks to absorb the coolness, and looked sideways at the man lying on the haystack.

Until the potatoes were boiled soft, Lingzhi leaned over and shook the man's shoulder.

"Junqian, wake up."

Xiao Yan's brows and eyes were tired, and there was little blood on his lips.

He opened his slack eyes, looked at the figure squatting in front of him, and coughed weakly.

Lingzhi helped him up, and put her cool and soft palm on that handsome pale face: "Get up and eat."

Xiao Yan said, "What time is it?"

Lingzhi shook her head: "The moon has risen to the sky."

Xiao Yan hummed, leaning against the haystack behind him, and picked up the pottery bowl that Lingzhi handed him.

Lingzhi stewed mashed potatoes and bacon. The meat had been stored in the hot cave for many days, and the taste became a little strange.He frowned after taking a sip.

Lingzhi had never been used to the smell of bacon, and seeing that there was no abnormality on the man's face, she picked out all the bacon and ate some mashed potatoes by herself.

He took out the fruit and stuffed it into his mouth, and Xiao Junqian ate most of the food.

Xiao Yan was sweating from the heat, and the stewed potatoes mixed with bacon tasted really mediocre, so he had no choice but to recover some strength after eating.

Lingzhi reached out and touched the man's forehead, and found that it was cold, so she ran to wash her body with water from another jar.

He brought a cool dewy outfit and approached the man, spread out the fresh hay in his arms, and placed a circle of herbs to repel mosquitoes around.

Xiao Yan leaned on and didn't move, his emptiness and blurred vision slightly deflected along with the walking little medicine man.

Lingzhi lay down on the hay and turned over, feeling comfortable before helping Xiao Junqian to lie down.

Xiao Yan shook that tender hand, then let it go immediately.

"Thank you."

Lingzhi said softly: "You take a rest."

He looked at people eagerly, thinking that Xiao Junqian's complexion was not good all the time, so he planned to go down the mountain and exchange more meat with the villagers.

The next day, Lingzhi packed up several bundles of medicinal herbs, carried a bamboo basket and stood by the haystack, telling Xiao Junqian that he was going down the mountain.

Lingzhi walked slowly, and when he reached the foot of the mountain, today he did not get what he wanted as smoothly as before.

Most of the young and strong men in the village have gone out to the county town to go to the market, and the few remaining households are not short of his medicinal herbs.

Lingzhi showed regret, hugged the bamboo basket bigger than him tightly, and looked at the villagers eagerly: "Are you really not going to exchange things?"

His herbs are good.

The villagers said with a smile: "I don't want my family anymore. Our bodies are not so precious. There are always bumps and bumps. As long as you can't get out of bed, just bear with it for a few days."

Lingzhi returned empty-handed with the herbs on her back, and rushed back from the foot of the mountain, covered in sweat.

He stood on the platform outside the cave and blew the cool breeze for a while, then ran to the water source behind the mountain, took off his robe and washed it with water.

Lingzhi cleaned herself up, her face was still hot, and she walked into the cave with a flushed face.

"Jun——" Lingzhi finished speaking, Hei Lingling's eyes narrowed, and she looked at the man standing upright on the stone wall in surprise.

"Junqian, can you stand up?"

Lingzhi approached the man, and Xiao Junqian who stood up was a full head taller than him.The rough old gray clothes are short, and the man's figure is slender and tall. Even though his body is weak, his demeanor makes Lingzhi unable to move his eyes away, staring blankly, and retreating shyly.

Xiao Yan said with a smile: "Although it is a little bit reluctant, at least I can stand up and walk slowly."

Xiao Yan's face and neck were covered with sweat, his figure swayed unsteadily, Lingzhi hurriedly stood beside him, and whispered: "You can help me."

Xiao Yan: "Then it will be hard for you."

Lingzhi couldn't stop the smile from the corner of her mouth, the man's warm palm was on his waist, rubbing against the thin robe, the skin around his waist seemed to be even hotter.

Lingzhi supported Xiao Junqian and walked a small area along the stone wall for more than ten steps, he said softly: "Junqian is so powerful, he can walk so steadily when he can't see clearly."

Xiao Yan endured the discomfort in his chest, and after a brief gasp, he said in a hoarse voice: "It's not completely invisible, it's just that I can't see clearly."

Lingzhi: "Ah..."

Looking from behind, Lingzhi supported Xiao Yan's walking posture, as if being covered by the other party from the hood into his arms, and his hair was twirled against Xiao Yan's chin, and when he raised his head, he could touch Xiao Yan's slightly sweaty skin.

Lingzhi walked with the man for a cup of tea, and said nothing to let him go any further.

Xiao Yan also listened to what he said, he was covered in sweat, his brows and eyes were always filled with a gentle smile, Lingzhi hurriedly wiped off the sweat for him, and sent a glass of water to Xiao Yan's hand.

Xiao Yan said: "Thanks for having you by my side."

Lingzhi pursed her lips, and the corners of her mouth curled up to Lao Gao.He took out two fruits and handed one to the other party.

Xiao Yan quietly ate the juicy fruit and sighed: "It's very sweet."

His face was pale and bloodless, and Lingzhi felt guilty.

He had a Ganoderma lucidum in good health, and eating some grasses and fruits was fine, but Xiao Junqian was sick and weak, and he didn't take good care of others, and he couldn't exchange for fresh meat when he went down the mountain.

Lingzhi helped Xiao Junqian to sit back on the straw mat, and whispered: "You wait for me in the cave."

Lingzhi squatted at the lower reaches of the water spring behind the mountain, watching a few fish that occasionally surfaced, ready to move.

After several failed attempts, he was discouraged, and a long-tailed blue bird swooped down from the high cliff and pecked a fat fish from the water.

The fish landed on the shore and fluttered, Lingzhi was very happy, the blue bird exchanged a few glances with him with an idiot look, and flew away with its gorgeous blue feathers.

Lingzhi wrapped the fat fish with big leaves and ran back to the cave. He didn't know how to handle the fish, so when he was at a loss, he put the whole fish into the stone pot according to Xiao Junqian's instructions, added a few scallions and ginger root and stewed it.

Xiao Yan looked at the dim light of the fire, and touched the little medicine man's head.

Lingzhi said dejectedly, "Can I eat it cooked like this?"

Xiao Yan said: "You did a good job."

Xiao Yan praised Lingzhi for being brave, and came back with one fish he could catch.

Lingzhi blushed, enjoying and ashamed at the same time.

After all, he didn't catch the fish, but in the face of the man's gentle praise, he was a little reluctant to tell the other party the truth, greedy for Xiao Junqian's affirmation.

Lingzhi really blushed: "I, I'm stupid."

Xiao Yan disagreed: "There is no need to underestimate yourself."

Lingzhi: "But...but..." He didn't catch the fish.

Xiao Yan told the little medicine man a story, and Lingzhi probably understood it.

He said softly: "Others think Xun Fu is stupid, but is he actually the smartest person?"

Xiao Yan smiled lightly: "Lingzhi has a clear mind, and you can understand the truth that ordinary people may not be able to understand."

Lingzhi couldn't help praising her, her cheeks were hot and red.

"I, I..." The sentence "I'm not smart" made Lingzhi swallow silently.

Xiao Junqian even praised him to be ashamed.
