Chapter 559, Frivolous
It was almost evening when Wang Maner came back with bags of spices and medicinal herbs.
Xiao Yeyang took a look and looked at Daohua: "What do you want so many spices and herbs for?"
Daohua glanced at him and said, "Aren't you, Third Brother, and Fourth Brother going to Northern Xinjiang? I need to prepare some more medicine for your injuries and sleeping pills."
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "No need, I haven't used up what you gave me before."
Daohua ignored him and just said, "If you don't need it this time, you can use it next time. Anyway, it's definitely useful to prepare some self-defense items."
As he said this, he went into the pharmacy with the spices and herbs, and did not come out until dinner time. After dinner, he went back into the pharmacy.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang felt a little regretful because he had less time to spend with Daohua; but looking at Daohua busying herself for him, he felt more secretly happy and blessed.
He originally planned to go to the pharmacy to accompany Daohua, but Defu came over with a letter, so Xiao Yeyang had to turn around and go back to the house to read the letter.
In the main room, Gu Jian and Grandma Gu watched the actions of the two children.
Seeing Granny Gu's worried look, Gu Jian consoled her, "Sister, the children are grown up now and have their own ideas. We shouldn't interfere too much."
Granny Gu sighed, "Yeyang is the only relative who stays with you and me. How can I bear to see him go to the battlefield at such a young age?"
Gu Jian was silent for a moment: "You have to believe Ye Yang. That kid has been holding his breath. You have to let him prove himself."
Grandma Gu stopped talking.
Gu Jian: "Okay, it's getting late, I'll help you go to rest."
Grandma Gu nodded and went back to the house with Gu Jian's support.
It was almost midnight (23:00) when Daohua came out of the pharmacy, rubbing her neck. As soon as she came out, she saw Xiao Yeyang standing under the eaves: "Why are you still awake?"
Xiao Yeyang didn't answer. He came over and held Daohua's hand. It felt a little cold, and he frowned. He immediately wrapped his hand around hers to warm her up. Then he said, "Didn't I tell you that we still have the medicine for the wounds. You don't need to rush it."
Daohua said perfunctorily, "I understand." Then, she looked at Xiao Yeyang and said, "By the way, you haven't said when you're leaving yet?"
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment. "We had originally decided to leave at the end of the month, but we just received news that the situation in the northern border is very unstable and asked us to send the weapons over as soon as possible. So, we will leave tomorrow."
Hearing this, Daohua's eyes widened: "Tomorrow?!"
Because she was too shocked, her voice was a little loud. Xiao Yeyang was worried about disturbing the two old people, so he quickly reached out and covered Daohua's mouth.
The soft touch from his palm made Xiao Yeyang's heart flutter. Looking at the rice flowers staring at him with bright black eyes, he was a little dazed for a moment.
While he was stunned, Daohua took his hand away and said in a low voice, "Leaving tomorrow? Do you have to rush? My ginseng tonic pills are not ready yet."
Xiao Yeyang came back to his senses: "What's the ginseng tonic pill?"
Daohua immediately explained, "This ginseng tonic pill is made from a variety of medicinal herbs. One pill can sustain your basic energy needs for one to two days."
"No one knows what the situation is like in the northern border. I've read some war stories, and many of them mention soldiers trapped in dangerous places, out of ammunition and food, with no food to eat. In such a situation, wouldn't the ginseng tonic pills come in handy?"
Xiao Yeyang's face turned serious. Don't mention it, the situation that Daohua described often happens on the battlefield. If there really is such a pill, it can definitely save the lives of many soldiers.
"Can I go see the ginseng tonic pills you mentioned?"
Daohua: "Of course." Then she took Xiao Yeyang into the pharmacy.
Seeing the medicine on the table, Xiao Yeyang immediately gave up the idea of producing a large number of ginseng tonic pills.
There’s nothing I can do. I can’t afford it.
Look at what medicinal materials are used: ginseng that is over a hundred years old, top-grade astragalus, poria, cooked rehmannia, chuanxiong, angelica and other medicinal materials. Each one is very valuable. How can you afford it?
Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but ask, "How much silver did you spend?"
Because they were leaving tomorrow, Daohua got busy again. While processing the herbs, she replied, "No money, these herbs are all grown in my farm."
Xiao Yeyang picked up the century-old ginseng on the table and asked, "Is this also produced in your farm?"
Daohua took a quick glance and said without blinking, "That's what we harvested."
Xiao Yeyang looked closely at the ginseng in his hand and asked curiously, "Yan Yiyi, I noticed that you seem to be particularly good at collecting ginseng. Ginseng that is over a hundred years old is hard to find, but you gave me no less than three."
Daohua paused as she handled the herbs, then raised her head and placed her hands on her hips. "Xiao Yeyang, I'm helping you prepare the medicine, and you're asking me all sorts of questions, are you embarrassed?"
Xiao Yeyang's expression froze, he put down the ginseng and walked over: "Alright, I won't ask anymore. But, do you still need to prepare the medicine? It's so late now, go back to bed."
Daohua said without even looking up: "I would like to go to sleep, but you are leaving tomorrow, so I have to make some for you. Even though you may not be able to use them, it will make me feel more at ease if you carry them with you."
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment: "Is there anything I can do to help?"
Daohua shook her head: "You don't know how to handle medicinal herbs, so don't make things worse. You're going on a long trip tomorrow, so go to bed."
Xiao Yeyang refused: "I'll stay here with you."
Daohua: "Really, no need. Go to sleep."
Xiao Yeyang walked directly to the chair next to him and sat down: "I'll sit here, you do your thing, I won't disturb you."
Daohua glanced at him and said, "Then go to bed if you're sleepy."
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "Okay."
In the pharmacy, the candlelight flickered, Daohua was busy coming and going, and Xiao Yeyang leaned back in his chair and watched silently.
It was not until the sky was slightly bright that Daohua stopped and looked at the dozens of ginseng tonic pills on the table, a victorious smile appeared on her face.
Seeing Xiao Yeyang sleeping on the chair, Daohua tiptoed over. She wanted to play a trick on him and wake him up, but when she got closer, she was attracted by his sleeping face.
Daohua stood in front of the chair, bent over, and looked closely at Xiao Yeyang's angular face.
Her eyebrows are long and thick, her eyelashes are also thick, her nose is straight, and her lips are well-defined, neither thin nor thick.
Um.
I didn’t expect this guy to be so delicate. He is much more well-behaved when he is asleep than when he is awake.
Looking at Xiao Yeyang's sleeping face, Daohua stretched out her eager hand, gently plucked his eyebrows, touched his eyelashes and nose, but when it came to his lips, she hesitated.
Xiao Yeyang, who had woken up when Daohua approached, waited for a while, but Daohua didn't make any move. He couldn't help but urge her, "If you don't move, I'll wake up."
Daohua was startled by Xiao Yeyang's voice. She took a quick step back and accidentally bumped into the pestle, causing her body to fall backwards.
Xiao Yeyang quickly stood up and grabbed Daohua.
Seeing that she didn't fall, Daohua patted her chest in relief: "I was so scared!" Just as her heart settled, she found herself being hugged by Xiao Yeyang around the waist. She twisted her body and said with an embarrassed smile: "Xiao Yeyang, you can let me go now."
Xiao Yeyang didn't do what she said, but looked at Daohua jokingly: "You come to flirt with me so early in the morning, isn't that bad?"
Maybe because he just woke up, his voice was a little hoarse, and sounded particularly seductive.
Daohua was stunned for a moment, then like a cat whose tail was stepped on, she said with anger: "Who flirted with you? I tell you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You must have been confused in your sleep."
Although the voice was loud, it was very weak.
Seeing her bulging eyes and trying to hold on, Xiao Yeyang exerted force on her cute face. He pulled her closer to him, lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "It's rude not to reciprocate. Tell me, why should I come again?"
Daohua was a little stunned, not only because of what Xiao Yeyang said, but also because he was talking in her ear, and his warm breath sprinkled on her ears and neck, making her whole body stiff.
Xiao Yeyang lowered his head and smiled at the person in his arms. Suddenly, he thought of the way Daohua closed her eyes under the peach tree before, and he couldn't help but lower his head.
Just when Xiao Yeyang's lips were about to touch Daohua, Daohua came to her senses, pushed Xiao Yeyang away, and ran away without looking back.
Xiao Yeyang didn't follow Daohua out. As soon as Daohua left, he patted his pounding chest and laughed heartily.
Daohua, who had run out of the door, heard laughter coming from the pharmacy, stamped her feet, and quickly ran back to her room.
Embarrassing again!
