Chapter 619, Done
"Offend me?!"
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua in surprise, pondered for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Did you do something bad behind my back that you feel sorry for me?"
Daohua couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Seeing her like this, Xiao Yeyang was really surprised: "What on earth have you done to offend me?"
Daohua shook her head: "I didn't do anything, I just accepted some things given by others."
Xiao Yeyang smiled, Daohua was not a person who was short-sighted, and she would accept something.
"What did you collect?"
Daohua quickly took out the small round box containing the Jingpi grass seeds and said, "This is it."
Xiao Yeyang opened the box and saw a red seed: "What is this?"
Daohua looked at his expression and said, "This is the seed of the Jingsui grass."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang's expression changed and he looked at Daohua: "Who gave it to you?"
Daohua lowered her head and pointed at her finger: "Yes. It was given to me by the middle-aged man in white clothes I saw on your boat earlier."
Xiao Yeyang frowned immediately: "Did Chu Lang come to see you?"
Seeing Xiao Yeyang's unhappy expression, Daohua quickly explained, "No, we met by chance at Yue Lao Temple. He knew you were looking for Jing Sui grass, so he gave me the seeds."
Seeing Daohua looking at him timidly, Xiao Yeyang's expression eased a little: "Chu Lang is not a good person. If you meet him again in the future, it's best not to pay attention to him." As he said, he raised the small round box in his hand.
"As for the Jingsui Grass seeds."
Before Xiao Yeyang could finish, Daohua snatched the seeds away and said, "You can't send these seeds back."
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "Do you really think you can grow Jingsui Grass? Chu Lang clearly has bad intentions and wants me to owe him a favor."
Rice Flower: "Whether I can grow it or not, I'm going to try. The job you and your third and fourth brothers do is so dangerous. How can we succeed if we don't practice our internal martial arts well?"
Xiao Yeyang knew that Daohua had been frightened by the recent series of assassination attempts, so he softened his tone: "Don't worry, your two brothers and I know how to protect ourselves."
Daohua said "hmm" and swiftly put the small round box into her purse.
When Xiao Yeyang saw it, he wanted to take it back to Chu Lang, but seeing how precious Daohua was, all he had to say turned into a sigh.
After collecting the seeds, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang and smiled, "I have collected all the other ingredients for the Eight Meridians Pill. As long as we grow the Jingsui Grass, we can ask Master to prepare the Eight Meridians Pill."
Xiao Yeyang looked surprised: "Have you collected all the other ingredients for the Eight Meridians Pill?"
Daohua nodded and patted her pouch. "Why else do you think I must have these Jingsui Grass seeds? Xiao Yeyang, we are only one step away from gathering all the herbs for the Eight Meridians Pill."
Xiao Yeyang: "Those medicinal herbs are very rare. How did you collect them all?"
Daohua: "Every time the herbalists come to my garden to purchase herbs, I exchange them for other herbs. Rare herbs like those are usually only useful to those who need them, so they're not difficult to exchange for."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang staring at her, Daohua asked with a smile, "Do you want to take a look?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "You should keep it well. You may never need it in your lifetime."
Daohua pouted, "You crow-mouthed fool! Just wait, I'm sure I can gather all the herbs needed to make the Eight Meridians Pill."
Xiao Yeyang didn't want to criticize Daohua, so he quickly changed the subject: "Did you go to worship Yue Lao today?"
Daohua nodded: "My mother took us there."
Xiao Yeyang asked with a smile: "What did you ask Yue Lao for?"
Daohua glanced at Xiao Yeyang and said, "I can't tell you this."
Xiao Yeyang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you tied the red string on the marriage tree?"
Rice Flower laughed: "Oh, you even know this?"
Xiao Yeyang laughed: "Isn't it common knowledge that people tie a red string on the marriage tree during the Qixi Festival? I don't know what's so strange about it. Did you tie the red string?"
Daohua: "Of course I did. It was because of tying the red string that I met Chu Lang. I also saw him and..." Thinking of her promise not to tell about this, Daohua immediately shut up.
Xiao Yeyang didn't care about Chu Lang at all. Instead, he looked at Daohua eagerly and asked, "Who were you thinking of when you tied the red string?"
Daohua's eyes flashed: "I didn't think of anyone."
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua carefully, trying to determine whether she was telling the truth or a lie.
Finally, Daohua felt uncomfortable with his gaze and glared at him: "What are you looking at!"
Xiao Yeyang said quietly, "I heard that when you tie the red string, you should think of the person you love, and then Yue Lao will tie the two people together. If you really forget this time, you must remember it when you go to worship Yue Lao next year."
Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang speechlessly: "You still believe this?"
Xiao Yeyang shrugged: "It's better to believe it than not to believe it. It won't cause much trouble."
Daohua didn't want to continue talking about this, so she asked, "By the way, who is Chu Lang? He clearly helped you before, so why do you dislike him so much?"
Xiao Yeyang snorted immediately: "Chu Lang, don't think that he is a good person just because he helped me. He helped me for a purpose."
Daohua was puzzled: "If he can really help you solve the problem, then even if he has some ulterior motive, then I can accept it."
Xiao Yeyang's face turned cold: "I can't accept his purpose."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang's resistance, Daohua became curious: "What's his purpose? Does he want money or power from you?"
Looking at Daohua's face full of curiosity, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but knock her on the forehead: "Why are you so curious about everything?"
Daohua covered her head and muttered, "It's because Chu Lang is related to you, otherwise I would have nothing better to do than to ask about him." As she spoke, she rubbed her forehead and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. Why hit me?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang immediately leaned forward and looked at Daohua's forehead: "Did I hit you too hard just now? Let me see." He has been practicing the internal martial arts recently, and since he just started, he can't control his strength.
Seeing the light red mark on Daohua's forehead, Xiao Yeyang's face showed a look of self-blame. He couldn't help but stand up and blow on the red spot, asking as he blew, "Does it hurt a lot? Do you want to apply some medicine?"
Daohua pushed Xiao Yeyang away and said speechlessly, "It was just a knock. Why would you need to apply medicine? Besides, your force wasn't very strong."
After the matter of looking for Xiao Yeyang was settled, Daohua prepared to return home: "Well, I have to go back."
Xiao Yeyang: "I just rushed back. Can you sit for a while?"
Daohua took out her pocket watch to check the time. Seeing that it was still early, she sat down and ate lychees for a while. At 17:00, she left in a carriage and took two baskets of lychees with her.
