"No."
Huo Mingchen's gaze was extremely calm: "If she wants to speak, she will naturally do so."
Bai wanted to say something more, but Huo Mingchen had already turned and left. At this moment, she could only sigh silently.
Cheng Shanshan was unaware that her actions had caused trouble for both of them. For three days in a row, whenever she had time, she would go to the medicinal field in her space, partly to study pharmacology and partly to plant vegetable seeds and plan the organization.
After being nourished by the spiritual spring water in the space, the things inside changed every day, and soon the first batch of Panax notoginseng could be harvested.
This is a good thing for stopping bleeding and removing blood stasis. After she collected them all, she went to ask Huo Mingchen how to dry them and how to use them.
Although Huo Mingchen didn't understand why Cheng Shanshan had consulted so many pharmacologists these past few days, he still patiently answered her questions.
After hearing the whole story, Cheng Shanshan's only worry was the sunlight. After all, although they had diffused light in the cave, it was far from enough to dry the medicinal herbs.
Do we still have to go out?
Since she couldn't deal with this for the time being, she simply put everything in the room next door, where time is frozen and it shouldn't affect the medicine's efficacy.
To her surprise, the drugs would regrow after this batch was harvested, meaning there would always be new ones.
However, she was clearly too optimistic. When the new batch of Panax notoginseng sprouted, she saw with her own eyes that the growth cycle number on the sign had doubled...
If this happens, wouldn't the cycle of a few days in the first few times turn into a cycle of several years or even decades in the future?
Whether it regenerates or not, there isn't much difference.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh and said with a wry smile, "Indeed, routines win people's hearts."
Huo Mingchen, who was eating next to him, paused slightly when he heard this, as he was adding food to his plate, and then tried to explain something.
But when he realized that Cheng Shanshan hadn't even glanced at him, his glassy eyes dimmed instantly: "I'm full, you guys continue eating." With that, he got up and left.
Cheng Shanshan noticed that Huo Mingchen's appetite had decreased and asked in confusion, "Why is Brother Huo eating so little today?"
Bai sighed softly, "It's not just today. Haven't you noticed that he's been feeling unwell ever since you started getting angry with him?"
Cheng Shanshan was stunned for a moment: "I'm angry with him? What am I angry with him about?"
Bai frowned slightly as she looked at Cheng Shanshan, who seemed confused. "These past few days you've even ignored him. I've been wanting to ask you what's wrong. Xiao Huo is a good boy. It would be better if you two cleared up any misunderstandings."
She had always had a good impression of Huo Mingchen.
Cheng Shanshan: "..."
She had been so engrossed in the medicinal herb field these past few days that she was completely unaware that Bai Shi and Huo Mingchen had misunderstood her.
Looking at Cheng Shanshan like this, Bai asked tentatively, "Is it really not because Wan'er said something to you that day that you're like this?"
"Of course not."
Cheng Shanshan answered very affirmatively.
However, Bai reminded her that she needed to have a proper talk with Huo Mingchen later.
After having this idea, she specially warmed a pot of wine, and then prepared a plate of spicy hand-shredded rabbit that Huo Mingchen liked to eat, as well as fried pancakes and a plate of cold potato salad, and put them on the table at the entrance of the cave.
The moonlight outside was hazy.
She looked outside while waiting, pondering deeply.
Compared to her miserable past life, she is much better off in this life. However, she is very afraid of experiencing betrayal and separation again in the future, and she is also afraid that the change in her life trajectory will lead to some uncontrollable factors.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh.
Then he tilted his head back and drank a glass of wine, his gaze becoming increasingly unfocused and profound...
Suddenly, a familiar voice came into view, but the voice didn't seem to have any intention of coming in.
Cheng Shanshan hurriedly stood up and called out, "Brother Huo!"
"..."
Huo Mingchen turned around and saw Cheng Shanshan, and subconsciously took a step back.
Cheng Shanshan explained, "Brother Huo, you may have misunderstood something these past few days. I didn't mean to be angry with you."
But Huo Mingchen took a few steps back again and waved his hand, saying, "Don't come any closer."
Cheng Shanshan pointed to the table of food and drinks next to her and said with a smile, "You probably didn't eat well tonight, why don't you have some more with me?"
"no."
"Why?"
Cheng Shanshan was full of surprise.
Huo Mingchen's face grew paler and paler. He silently took out a white cloth and covered his mouth and nose: "Shanshan, I'm leaving."
He just wanted to come back for a quick look, and he really didn't expect Cheng Shanshan to be waiting for him at the cave entrance.
But it's all for the best; at least he saw her smile again.
Looking at Huo Mingchen's pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead, Cheng Shanshan suddenly had a bad feeling: "Brother Huo, have you... been infected?"
She really didn't want to mention the word "plague".
Huo Mingchen did not deny it, but waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it. I know medicine and can heal myself. I'll come back to you when I'm better." With that, he turned to leave.
Seeing this, Cheng Shanshan grabbed Huo Mingchen's hand without saying a word: "No, you can't leave. Someone will die if you leave alone!"
She had experienced the plague, during which she would feel alternating chills and fever, her throat felt like it was being pierced by razor blades, and all her strength would be drained away. This was something that no one could endure alone.
For the first time, Huo Mingchen avoided her touch like the plague: "Don't touch me."
"Brother Huo, you've started to have a fever."
Cheng Shanshan couldn't let go any longer. Huo Mingchen, who was usually as strong as an ox, was pulled so hard by her that he had no strength to fight back and even fell to the ground.
Upon seeing Huo Mingchen faint, she could only drag him into the cave, and then called Bai Shi to carry him to the bed.
While covering him with a blanket, Cheng Shanshan said to Bai Shi, "Mother, go boil some water and then make some ginger soup."
"good."
Bai went there immediately.
Cheng Shanshan took the opportunity to enter the space.
In her previous life, she had contracted a plague. An old Taoist priest had given her a prescription that saved her. Following her memory, she searched through the medicinal herb fields and found that she had basically prepared all sorts of herbs.
However, because one of the medicinal ingredients was not yet mature, she didn't know if it would affect the efficacy.
After Bai brought her hot water, Cheng Shanshan gave her the herbs and asked her to brew the medicine.
At this moment, Huo Mingchen's forehead was burning hot, and he murmured in a daze, "San San..."
"San San?"
Who is this?
Could it be his lover?
Thinking about this made Cheng Shanshan a little annoyed!
Then she very roughly placed the towel on his forehead, but unexpectedly her hand was suddenly grabbed!
