The fish fell at the end of the forest
Yu Luo saw her, jumped off the rocking chair, shouted, "Wait a moment!" and went back to the house.
In a moment, she was wearing a blue cloak that covered her hair. She ran to the door, pushed open the wooden door, and said with a smile: "Sister Lin! How did you get here? Come in quickly. Do you remember me? I am Yu Luo."
Lin Yuan didn't want to disturb her, but when she caught sight of a plant with emerald green oval leaves, she nodded and followed her in. "Yeah, I remember you, Yu Luo."
When Lin Yuan passed by the "green waves", she stopped to look. As she expected, it was lily of the valley, and it had grown red berries.
Yu Luo explained: "Senior Sister, this is lily of the valley."
Lin Yuan reached out to touch the broad leaves of the lily of the valley.
"Be careful! Lily of the valley is poisonous all over, especially the leaves and stems." Yu Luo hurriedly stopped him, but then felt it was too rude and changed the subject, saying, "Lily of the valley blooms in early summer. You can come here to enjoy the flowers in early summer next year."
Lin Yuan nodded: "Thank you," and then asked: "Do you live here alone?"
"Yes, but my master often comes to see me. Ah, my master is Pei Sizhou, Elder Pei." His pride was beyond words.
Lin Yuan thought of the Xiao Chaihu Decoction recipe and smiled, "Yes, I was diagnosed by him before."
Yu Luo's deer eyes melted into twinkling stars, and he smiled as he said, "Hey, Master is the most skilled doctor in the world."
Lin Yuan thought, there are two diseases in the world that cannot be cured no matter how advanced the medical skills are: one is cancer, and the other is heart disease. Of course, Lin Yuan didn't say it out loud to discourage her.
Lin Yuan was invited inside. On a wooden table sat a vase containing several red spider lilies. The petals curled back like red dragon claws, blooming brilliantly. There were no red spider lilies nearby, so she probably got them from her master. Tsk, why would her master send such flowers? Red spider lilies represent an omen of death, the road to hell.
The furnishings in the room were simple but tidy. She held the teacup and stared into space, lost in thought.
"Senior sister? Senior sister?"
"Huh? Sorry, I..." Lin Yuan came back to his senses.
Yu Luo asked worriedly, "Did Senior Sister not sleep well?"
"It's okay, I just haven't been in a good mood lately." Lin Yuan replied.
"It just so happens that I'm studying medicine. Although my medical skills aren't as good as Master's, I can still diagnose and treat a few cases. How about I help you cheer up?"
Lin Yuan hesitated for two seconds and nodded: "Thank you for your help."
"No, no, senior sister has saved me many times." Yu Luo's voice was so low that it was inaudible.
Lin Yuan didn't want to ask any further questions.
Yu Luo felt the pulse, his expression serious before he smiled. His lips were red, his teeth were white, and his eyes were clear, giving off a warm and healing feeling. "It's depression. It's okay. Acupuncture can relieve it." He then added, "Trust me, it won't hurt at all."
Then, Lin Yuan lay on the bed with an uneasy heart, letting her insert needles into the acupuncture points on her arms and head.
Later, when Lin Yuan recalled this moment, she felt it was too unreal. Facing a person who lived alone in a wooden house, whom she had only met twice, and whose words she didn't know were true or false, she actually let down her guard so easily and handed her life to her without any precautions.
Gradually, Lin Yuan fell asleep.
She watered the flowers in her 21st-century home. In the garden, lilies of the valley, chrysanthemums, hibiscus... all flourished in profusion. In a dark corner, a few long purple vines sprouted, their leaves speckled with spots, looking utterly ugly. Perhaps due to poor water and heat conditions, the vines were slender, limp, and tucked to the ground, nearly withered.
Lin Yuan moved it into a flowerpot and placed it on the balcony. She planned to study this new variety and muttered to herself, "Maybe I could weave a straw mat out of the rattan?"
Just water it and let it bask in the sun, and it will survive.
Lin Yuan watched the purple vines growing wildly, climbing up the wall, covering the windows, and spreading to her feet. Just as she was about to escape, she was entangled by the vines. She thought she would be strangled to death, but unexpectedly, it automatically weaved a bed and put her on it. She looked at this upgraded "straw mat" speechlessly, thinking that it was really obedient.
…
There was a snake wrapped around Yu Luo's hand. The snake hissed and spit out its scarlet tongue. She nodded and said, "I understand." Seeing that Lin Yuan was still asleep, she wrote a message on a piece of paper, wrapped her cloak tightly and walked towards Xinglin Hall.
Lin Yuan woke up and shook her head. She'd been sleepy and dreamy lately, and her reactions had been slow. This wasn't a good sign. Memories of her body being out of control and her thoughts clouding over came flooding back, and she felt a chill. After a few deep breaths, she realized the room was empty. There was only a note on the table: "Senior Sister, I'm so sorry, Master has called me over for the session. Welcome back next time."
Lin Yuan then returned the same way.
In the back room of Xinglin Hall, a man in black with a cold temperament stared at Yu Luo and said, "Don't get too close to Lin Yuan."
"Why? Master, she is my savior." Yu Luo asked with her head tilted. Her dark blue hair was combed into two buns, and the remaining blue hair was like the sea, curling down to her waist.
Pei Sizhou's face was still as stern as snow: "In short, she is a dangerous person."
Yu Luo lowered his head and replied dejectedly: "Yeah, okay."
Pei Sizhou knew she was always well-behaved and obedient, so he felt relieved and handed her a list of three books on medicine. "Borrow these books," he said, pointing to a pile of books on the desk. "Return these books."
"Yes, Master!" Yu Luo responded positively.
At Ximo Tower, Si Ji happened to be sorting out useless books. In order to avoid finding the books his master wanted, Yu Luo flipped through them. One of them, a "Dream Entering Talisman", was quite interesting. After reading it, he couldn't help but nod in agreement: No wonder the books had to be cleaned up, this kind of quack trick had been exposed long ago.
