Although the two were chatting enthusiastically, Mu Huaixi noticed early on that the person next to him seemed hesitant to speak.
Every time he changed the topic, his eyes would flicker, and there was expectation and a suppressed impulse in his eyes when he looked at her.
Mu Huaixi didn't ask directly at first, but just changed the topic to talk to him. However, this man was as stubborn as the muscles in his body, and she couldn't get any words out of him even after she tried her best.
She had no choice but to ask directly, but Ying Mingcheng just looked at her in surprise, without any intention of saying anything.
"What are you doing?" Mu Huaixi kicked his leg with her toes in dissatisfaction. "We are at home, just the two of us. Is there anything you can't say?"
"Didn't you say before that being a couple means trusting each other? I've told you everything, but you keep hiding things from me."
"It's the same now, and it was the same before. I know you want to protect me and don't want me to worry about unnecessary things. But, we are husband and wife, one body. If you don't say anything, how can I know what you are thinking?"
Mu Huaixi remembered that he was like this last time. She did not object to Mingcheng's protection, and she felt that such a man like a mountain was worth relying on, but she was unwilling to be an ignorant and happy person.
She liked drinking tea and chatting with Ying Mingcheng, liked the two of them talking about random things, liked getting to know each other gradually through casual chats, and also hoped that this home could become a solid castle and a relaxing grassland, where the two of them could speak their minds without scruples.
Of course, it would be even better if we could all speak ill of outsiders together.
Mu Huaixi doesn't like to talk about people's personalities behind their backs, but if she can't even complain in front of her closest people, she would be really frustrated.
Of course, she felt that she and Ying Mingcheng had not reached this point yet, and what she had just shared with him were just some small things and interesting stories, but she hoped that Ying Mingcheng could be more frank, at least as frank as he was when he took off his clothes and exposed his upper body!
"Hmph, if you don't want to tell me, then forget it. You'd better keep it a secret from me forever!" Mu Huaixi came to her senses and found that she was the one who was attacking unilaterally again. She stood up angrily and was about to leave, but was stopped by his long legs.
Ying Mingcheng didn't know how he was exposed. He was still in shock when he heard a "condemnation". Seeing that she seemed really angry, he quickly pulled her back.
"I just don't know how to say it..."
Ying Mingcheng was glared at and quickly explained, "Actually, I wanted to ask if your broken bones and damaged nerves could possibly heal, but I felt it was a fantasy, so, so..."
"Are you talking about Brother Song?" Mu Huaixi felt strange. She thought of Song Zhengxin's legs, which had begun to shrink, and frowned unconsciously. "How did Brother Song get injured?"
Ying Mingcheng gave her some water, gathered his thoughts, and recalled, "Brother Song was injured on the way back from a mission. That mission had already cost us a lot of men, and on the way back we encountered an earthquake. While trying to save people, he was hit by a roof beam and barely survived even after being sent to the hospital."
"If only I were here," Ying Mingcheng pressed his palm against his forehead, his eyes filled with regret. The troops were split into two groups during that mission, and he wasted some time on his side. If he had been more alert and experienced, he would definitely have been able to catch up and face the earthquake with them, and maybe even support Lao Song. Then their brothers...
These things have been churning in his heart for a year, and he has been unable to find the source. He cannot say these words to others, as every word is tinged with cowardice, and saying one is disrespectful to Brother Song and his brothers.
Only Ying Mingcheng knew that perhaps what he was hesitating about was not the delusion of reconnecting the broken bones, but whether to admit his cowardice in front of her.
He wanted to be Xiaoxi's support, but a shaken mountain obviously could not be someone else's support, so he would rather remain silent before, but what Xiaoxi just said made sense.
Ying Mingcheng sighed, feeling that he was overwhelmed by the brown sugar water. "Let's talk about Brother Song. His waist..."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a fragrant breeze coming from the side. It was Xiao Xi who came over from the side and hugged his shoulders with difficulty. The fragrance of the girl mixed with the scent of medicine enveloped him, and Rouyi gently patted his shoulder.
"You know, it's not your fault."
Mu Huaixi then realized where Ying Mingcheng's hesitation came from. She hugged him with pity and felt the same regret as him. For countless nights in her previous life, she regretted why she couldn't be braver, why she couldn't be smarter and see through the true faces of those people.
But even after being reborn, she didn't recognize Mu Zhao's true face at first. Finally, one night, she admitted that she was incapable of doing it, and that it was the fault of those people who hurt her, not that she didn't know people well.
Mu Huaixi hadn't expected that she would find out what was on Ying Mingcheng's mind right away. She wanted to hug him tightly, but the muscles on his shoulders were too prominent. She couldn't hold him tightly. She could only move upwards, lightly wrapping her arms around his neck, and comforting him once again, "It's not your fault."
Ying Mingcheng's throat rolled, and he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and grabbed Xiaoxi's hand. Her hand was right beside his neck, and the slightest movement would touch his earlobe, which was extremely dangerous.
"Do you know the Black Jade Fracture Ointment?" Mu Huaixi didn't notice that her hands had their own consciousness. She had just searched the medical book in her mind and actually found a miraculous prescription.
Ying Mingcheng looked up helplessly, "Xiao Xi, you don't have to use the things in the book to comfort me."
When he was young, he also yearned for the chivalrous spirit of the martial arts world. He had read Mr. Jin Yong's "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", and of course he knew about the famous Black Jade Fracture Ointment in the martial arts world, which could connect broken bones like grafting flowers and trees.
But after all, it is just a fictional thing in the book. How could it exist in reality?
"The recipe for the Black Jade Intermittent Ointment has been passed down for a long time," Mu Huaixi counted on his fingers and listed more than a dozen herbs in a row. It was exactly the miraculous recipe recorded in the Mu family's medical book. The predecessor who recorded this recipe also made the ointment dozens of times, and finally announced with regret that the effect was not ideal because one of the herbs was too rare.
When people see the Black Jade Drynaria Paste, they all think that the main ingredient is Drynaria, but they don’t know that the most precious ingredient is actually black jade. This black jade is not real black jade, but Drynaria fortunei that grows on special mineral jade.
Drynaria fortunei, commonly known as cliff ginger or rock ginger, grows only on moist, warm cliffs and rocks. Its golden-haired rhizome resembles a monkey's paw clinging to a rock, earning it the nickname monkey ginger. There are many varieties of Drynaria fortunei, all known for their ability to promote fracture healing, but the rarest and most essential in the secret recipe is the Black Jade Drynaria fortunei, which grows on obsidian.
