Chapter 117 Small Sachet
The yard is very small, with green bricks and red tiles, and is extremely quiet.
The most important thing is that the little brother Shi Yan that Xing Xing was thinking about was in that yard, practicing swordplay with a sword in his hand.
After the young man finished practicing a set of sword moves, Xing Xing clapped excitedly.
Wei Shiyan's eyes were cold, but when he turned around, he saw the girl standing at the gate who he had seen twice before. The coldness in his eyes gradually melted away and turned into doubt.
"How did you get in?"
As far as he knew, the forest was planted by a Taoist master. If one was not familiar with the terrain, anyone who entered for the first time would almost certainly get lost.
Xing Xing ran over and said happily, "Brother Yan!"
She gestured, "That's how Xingxing came in."
Xingxing quickly took out a very rough little sachet from her bosom and handed it to Wei Shiyan: "Brother Yan! This is made by Xingxing herself. It contains some herbs that can drive away insects. You often go to the Taoist temple, and there are so many small grasses and big trees in the temple. Put it on, it will work!"
Although Xingxing is young, she is very smart. She can remember the effects of many herbs after hearing them once. It seems that she is particularly sensitive in this aspect.
Da Xisi Po occasionally noticed this, and sometimes when she came to the village to treat patients, she would occasionally give Xingxing a few pointers.
At first, Da Xi Si Po just treated it as a joke for the child, but later she was shocked to find that Xing Xing, with a few tips from her, had actually made her own insect repellent sachets.
Although the recipe is very rough, it is quite effective and has good curative effect.
After hearing this compliment from Daxi Sipo, Xingxing was greatly encouraged. She made insect repellent sachets for almost everyone she knew and asked them to keep them at home.
Although Wei Shiyan had only met Xingxing twice, Xingxing liked this quiet but handsome little brother very much and made a wedding dress for him.
This time I finally have the chance to send it out.
Wei Shiyan stared at Xingxing for a long time, and finally his eyes fell on the sachet that Xingxing handed over to him attentively.
He didn't reach out to take it, but held the sword in one hand and whispered, "...Have you forgotten? I told you that anyone who comes into contact with me will be in bad luck."
Xingxing's round eyes blinked: "What's the bad news? They all say Xingxing is a lucky star."
After Xing Xing finished speaking, she thought about it again, and finally walked forward and hugged Wei Shiyan's waist.
Xingxing had been well fed and well cared for in the Yu family for the past six months. She had grown a little taller, but was still a short little kid who could barely hug Wei Shiyan's waist.
Wei Shiyan was inexplicably caught off guard against Xingxing. He never expected that Xingxing would suddenly hug him!
He was so frightened that he took several steps back!
Xing Xing stood still, not angry, but said happily: "Brother Yan, Xing Xing's blessing is passed on to you! Don't be afraid!"
——After that, even though many years had passed, Wei Shiyan still found it difficult to describe the warmth he felt at that moment.
Wei Shiyan stared at Xingxing for a long time, so long that Xingxing seemed a little at a loss.
——Wei Shiyan was making sure that nothing would happen to Xing Xing after she was so close to him.
After a long time, about half an incense stick of time, Wei Shiyan was finally completely confirmed - although he didn't know why, but Xing Xing would be fine as long as she had contact with him.
He then slowly stepped forward and said to Xing Xing, "Give me the sachet."
Still cautious and refused to touch Xingxing.
Xing Xing stepped forward and hung the sachet directly on the hilt of the sword that Wei Shiyan was holding.
She was obviously very interested in the sword in Wei Shiyan's hand, and seemed to want to touch it but was afraid to do so.
Wei Shiyan thought for a moment and said, "Let me practice swordplay with you again."
Xing Xing nodded excitedly: "Okay, okay!"
Wei Shiyan tied the crudely made sachet with crooked stitches that Xingxing had given him to the hilt of the sword, and then demonstrated the complete sword moves to Xingxing from beginning to end.
Xing Xing widened her eyes and didn't even dare to blink.
But the time they spent together was always short. When Wei Shiyan finished practicing swordplay, Xingxing missed her aunt and uncle who were still burning incense. Although she was reluctant to leave, she waved to Wei Shiyan and said, "...Brother Yan, Xingxing has to go! When you come down the mountain, go to Nantuo Village to play with Xingxing!"
Wei Shiyan pursed his lips, not agreeing but not refusing either.
The great master told his parents that he had to meditate here in silence to suppress the evil spirits in his body until he was eighteen years old, and then he could come out.
Can he get down the mountain?
Xingxing was young and didn't pay attention to whether Wei Shiyan agreed or not. She just thought she said goodbye to Wei Shiyan and ran out of the yard in a hurry.
Wei Shiyan was thinking about something, and when he came to his senses, Xingxing had already run into the mysterious forest like a happy little deer.
Wei Shiyan's expression changed slightly and he hurriedly chased after him.
But he chased her all the way to the entrance of the nameless Taoist temple, and didn't see any signs that Xingxing was lost.
Xingxing called out "Aunt, Auntie" and happily entered the Taoist temple.
Wei Shiyan slowly retreated into the forest.
It seemed that every time this little girl named Xingxing came, she would bring him some indescribable shock.
When Wei Shiyan returned to the courtyard, the old Taoist priest was carrying a bamboo basket of vegetables and putting it in the stove room in the courtyard.
Seeing Wei Shiyan coming back with the sword, the old Taoist was stunned at first and asked, "Where did the young master go?"
Wei Shiyan didn't know how to briefly tell the old Taoist priest about Xingxing, so he simply said, "I went out for a while."
The old Taoist priest always felt something was wrong. His eyes focused and he noticed that there was a rough and inferior sachet on the hilt of Wei Shiyan's sword.
Old Taoist priest: “???”
What is this?!
Shocked beyond words.
Wei Shiyan noticed that the old Taoist's eyes were fixed on the hilt of his sword, and he even looked extremely shocked. He pursed his lips slightly and said concisely: "Just now... Xingxing came over and gave me this."
Wait...the old Taoist priest felt a little dizzy.
This statement contains a lot of information.
First of all, what does Xingxing is coming mean?
He knew Xingxing, the little girl who wore black Buddhist beads on her hand and seemed to have no reaction to the mold evil spirit on his young master's body.
But...what did you call her to come?
That mysterious forest outside can't trap a little kid under four years old?!
Perhaps because the expression on the old Taoist's face was too shocked, Wei Shiyan's mood suddenly improved a lot.
He picked up the crudely made little sachet with his fingers.
The sachet exuded a very simple and natural herbal scent, which, when he picked it up, stained his slender fingers, which were covered with many small scars.
Wei Shiyan was in a very good mood and walked around the old Taoist priest and entered the house.
The old Taoist priest reacted and asked Wei Shiyan hurriedly from behind, "Young Master, please don't leave... No, how did that little girl get in?... Is she really okay?"
"No. She's fine." Wei Shiyan's voice came from the room. It can be heard that the boy seemed to be in a good mood. "...Don't call me. I'll take a rest."
The old Taoist priest stood there in a daze.
