"It really is, but the energy is quite different from that of the energy rain. This seems to be gentler."
Bi Qiaoan lifted her fingers out of the spring water, and saw that the part that had been in contact with the water had become white and tender.
Bi Qiaoan turned to look at Shen Yanming, pouting with a hint of grievance, "I really asked for trouble. I could clearly see the change in your skin, but I still insisted on trying it myself. Tell me, how are we supposed to face anyone looking like this?"
Shen Yanming looked at Bi Qiaoan's fair and delicate fingers, covered his mouth and laughed, "She's still presentable, either take a bath in the spring water or go outside to sunbathe."
"Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? What if you go outside to sunbathe and the fair areas don't get a pink tan, while the pink areas get a darker tan?"
"Then let's wash it clean with spring water!"
"If we wash ourselves clean, we'll be even more unpresentable. Everyone else is all pink, red, and black, while we're both fair and delicate. We'll be easy targets. How are we going to explain to people that we used holy water?"
Shen Yanming teased Bi Qiaoan, "It's not impossible!"
"Pah! What if someone asks you where the holy water came from? Take it into your space and take a look?" Bi Qiaoan laughed and pinched Shen Yanming's waist.
"Ouch, wife, it hurts~" Shen Yanming pretended to be in unbearable pain and dodged away.
"Get lost, I didn't even use any force!" Bi Qiaoan laughed as she chased after Shen Yanming.
Perhaps this was the most relaxed moment for the two of them in a while. They ran and played around, leaving all the outside world's troubles behind.
When they got tired of playing, the two sat down on the ground, took out steamed buns and milk from their bags, ate until they were half full, rested for a while, and then prepared to head back.
Going down the mountain was obviously much easier than going up. However, when going up the mountain, there was spiritual energy (let's call it spiritual energy for now), but the spiritual energy decreased as they went down. Therefore, the time it took for the two of them to go down the mountain was about the same as when they went up.
After returning to the mobile villa, Shen Yanming and Bi Qiaoan were both quite tired, so they lay down on the bed and prepared to take a nap first.
However, before falling asleep, Shen Yanming used his mind to put the plant leaves, flowers, and fruits in his bag into the storage area so that they wouldn't wilt due to lack of water.
The two woke up after sleeping for four or five hours. After retrieving the magical plants from the storage area using his consciousness, Shen Yanming went into the study.
He didn't realize what was happening when he first saw these plants, but as he saw more and more "familiar" plants on the mountaintop, he discovered that they all seemed to be plants that had appeared in ancient books.
So he took photos and collected some leaves and fruits to compare with the contents of ancient books and confirm their identity.
Shen Yanming locked himself in his study for a day and a night. Dozens of ancient books were spread out on his desk, bookshelves, and the floor. Shen Yanming would flip through them here and there.
Bi Qiaoan didn't disturb him; she just went in to deliver a meal and a cup of coffee, keeping track of the time.
When Shen Yanming came out, only twenty or thirty hours had passed, but Bi Qiaoan felt that he looked extremely disheveled.
His face was greasy, his eyelids were dark, his hair was messy, and his clothes were loose, but none of this could hide the light in his eyes.
"Honey, I have a big discovery to tell you!" Shen Yanming rushed up to Bi Qiaoan and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Bi Qiaoan was also very happy, "Tell me quickly, what good news is there?"
"The plants we collected on the mountain should be the same ones mentioned in the prescriptions in ancient books, if nothing unexpected happens."
I'm not sure if they belong to the category of medicinal herbs, but they are all things that don't exist in this world. No wonder I couldn't understand how those prescriptions were made no matter how much I studied them.
I thought it was just a Chinese medicine with a different name, but it turns out it's not the same thing at all.
The mosquito repellent fragrance is made from the most common Chinese herbs in the world, which is why I was able to make it.
Fortunately, I discovered it in time; now I can finally produce the finished products from the other prescriptions as well.
Shen Yanming excitedly pulled Bi Qiaoan aside to tell her about his discovery, going into details about the names of the plants they brought down from the mountain, their uses, and which medicinal formulas they could be used in.
Although Bi Qiaoan couldn't understand or remember much, she still listened to him with a smile, even gently taking his hand and letting him sit on the sofa to tell his story slowly, and pouring him a cup of tea to moisten his throat.
Bi Qiaoan is a good listener.
After Shen Yanming finished speaking, Bi Qiaoan urged him to take a shower and get some sleep, saying they could talk about anything else after he woke up.
Shen Yanming obediently went to take a shower. Bi Qiaoan quickly cooked him some noodles and told him to eat them before going to sleep.
Although it's bad for your health to sleep right after eating, Bi Qiaoan didn't care anymore. She brought Shen Yanming some food, but he only ate a few bites. After 20 or 30 hours of intense mental work, his stomach probably couldn't take it anymore.
After finishing a bowl of vegetable and egg noodles, Shen Yanming rubbed his stomach, which had returned to normal, and said to Bi Qiaoan, "Thank you, wife!"
Bi Qiaoan chuckled and poked Shen Yanming's cheek, "Go to sleep! Even someone made of iron can't stand not sleeping for twenty or thirty hours!"
Shen Yanming grasped Bi Qiaoan's mischievous fingers, "You'll stay with me!"
Bi Qiaoan wanted to say she wasn't sleepy, but Shen Yanming carried her back to the bedroom in a princess carry.
Okay, fine, I'll stay with her. At worst, she'll just lie in bed staring blankly. But to my surprise, she fell asleep while I was with her.
A few hours later, Bi Qiaoan woke up. She gently removed the arm that was draped over her waist and carefully got out of bed.
Normally, such a "loud" noise from her would have woken Shen Yanming up long ago, but today, Shen Yanming was still fast asleep.
This is exhausting!
Bi Qiaoan went to the study and looked at the books scattered all over the floor. She wanted to pick them up, but she was afraid that Shen Yanming might have some particular reason for placing them or looking at them. After thinking about it, she left.
Bi Qiaoan went to the kitchen, cooked a pot of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and then went to the orchard to harvest fruit.
Just as she estimated that the porridge was almost ready, Bi Qiaoan returned to the mobile villa and saw Shen Yanming serving the porridge as she entered.
"You're up?" Bi Qiaoan said with a smile.
"Hmm, I don't feel very energetic yet. Can you make me a cup of coffee later?" Shen Yanming rubbed his eyes, his voice still hoarse from just waking up.
Bi Qiaoan smiled and said, "Okay!"
Previously, the two of them had collected pre-mixed coffee powder abroad, and of course, some high-quality coffee beans as well. But ever since Shen Yanming tasted the coffee made from freshly ground coffee beans grown by the Space Coffee Tree, he has fallen in love with it.
After having dinner and coffee, and finally feeling refreshed, Shen Yanming said to Bi Qiaoan, "We're going up the mountain in a bit. We need to collect some plant seeds, which should be useful against the current HZ virus."
