Tian Baozhu lost her memory?
"Sister, you forgot about us?!"
“…I was just kidding.”
"Hate it, don't scare me! I was scared to death when you fell into the water! If you lose your memory again..."
Meng Po hugged her. Tian Baozhu looked over Meng Po's shoulder and saw Hei Wu Chang frowning and looking at her seriously. She smiled innocently to show that she was fine.
"I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine."
In fact, she really looked at the people in front of her for a few brief seconds, but couldn't remember who they were. Fortunately, after feeling dizzy for a while, she remembered. Tian Baozhu didn't want to make them worry, so she said it was a joke.
Now that she was awake, what she was most concerned about was the missing ingredient in Meng Po Soup.
Meng Po and Hei Wuchang each took out one in their hands.
"There were very few pearls. We each only found one. We fished out so many clams and even used a faster method to identify whether there were pearls, but we still found very little."
"If, I mean if, we only find two pearls on the day the Ghost Gate opens, what will be the effect of the Mengpo soup we cook?" Tian Baozhu asked Mengpo.
"The effect of the Pearl Light will be diluted, and the number of people without light will increase. When they are reincarnated, they will burden the human world."
"We still need to go look for it," Tian Baozhu comforted Meng Po, "It's okay, we still have time. Don't give up hope."
This was a temporary lounge for employees. Tian Baozhu got out of bed and stumbled.
"Are you okay?" Meng Po asked nervously.
"You take a rest for a day, and we will look for him the next day." Tian Baozhu accepted Hei Wuchang's suggestion. Her body had recovered, but her mind was still a little confused. She was worried that her poor condition would implicate them again.
Tian Baozhu and Hei Wuchang said they wanted to go see the red spider lily field before returning to the dormitory, and Meng Po also accompanied them.
When the puppy saw Tian Baozhu, it ran towards her happily.
Tian Baozhu petted it. After finding its new home near the red spider lily experimental field on Huangquan Road, it has been circling the area, and no ghosts dare to even set foot in the flower fields. It drives away ghosts, but it won't break the rules and harm them. It seems the pup has adapted to its new home.
The assistant employee reported the progress to the two people, saying that the cultivation of the new land was almost completed and sowing could be started in two days.
Tian Baozhu said that they would first check the condition of the flower fields tomorrow morning, and then go to find the medicine for Mengpo Soup.
After staying in the red spider lily field for a while, she felt much better. She could also understand why the ghost awakened overnight. Looking at the plants all around, she felt happy and relaxed, and her confused thoughts had a focus.
※※※
Return to the staff dormitory.
Meng Po said goodbye to them on the 16th floor and said they would see each other tomorrow.
Only two people left the remaining floors. Hei Wuchang suddenly said:
"Your amnesia is not a joke, right?"
Tian Baozhu didn't expect that Hei Wuchang had noticed it so keenly. He had been dealing with ghosts for many years and had to face all kinds of complicated situations, so his senses must have been trained to be extremely sharp. She didn't need to hide it from him.
"I did lose my memory, but it only lasted for a short while. I felt dizzy for a bit, and then all my memories came back."
"Really? Is there anything else that's uncomfortable?"
"Really! I'm in great shape. I can carry ten cows." Although Tian Baozhu exaggerated a bit, she could indeed carry over a hundred pounds of fertilizer without getting out of breath.
Hei Wuchang sighed.
"You always tell me to take care of yourself, but you should also pay attention to your own safety. If it weren't for Meng Po's casual space spell, even if I saved you at that time, I wouldn't be able to bring you back immediately."
It turns out that before she fell into a coma, she felt the embrace of Hei Wuchang...
Tian Baozhu held his face, feeling a little hot. For his own safety, he actually ignored the rules and regulations of "sense of boundaries" that he had set for himself in the past.
He was still chattering. Tian Baozhu wondered why she hadn't known he could talk so much before. She felt a little complaining in her heart, but joy showed on her face. She smiled and said, "Senior, thank you for your concern."
He choked, then spoke haltingly, "After all... we are... partners... it's only natural for me to care about you."
OK!
"By the way, I wasn't running around, I saw the seedlings of the golden nanmu tree!"
"?are you sure?"
"I smell a strange fragrance, very strong, like this..."
Tian Baozhu felt that she could smell a similar fragrance when she moved her sleeves just now. As soon as she extended her sleeves, a leaf fell out of her sleeves with the movement.
Although there was only one piece, the space immediately became fragrant.
Unexpectedly, she was lucky enough to touch a leaf before falling into the water.
Tian Baozhu picked up the leaf and handed it to Hei Wuchang. "Do you smell it? It smells really good, doesn't it?"
"I can smell a little fragrance, very faint."
"You only smelled a little?" Tian Baozhu was surprised.
"Perhaps because I've been in the underworld much longer than you, my five senses have become weaker and more degraded than yours. I can only smell it a little bit when I'm this close."
"Uh..." Tian Baozhu always felt a lump in her throat because of the damage Hei Wuchang had inadvertently done. She unconsciously turned the leaf Hei Wuchang had handed back to her, "It's okay... I'm here, I can smell the fragrance. When we go looking for it again, I'll definitely be able to find it quickly."
"Don't think about that for now. Get some rest first and put everything else aside."
Tian Baozhu nodded, "I understand. There's something more pressing, Mengpo Soup. She's pressed for time."
"Don't think about other things for now, just have a good rest and get some sleep."
"good."
The golden nanmu tree that I have been worried about has finally shown some signs of growth. After I finish the Mengpo soup, I will go look for the seedlings. Our underworld will soon be prosperous.
Tian Baozhu lay on the bed thinking.
After being taken out and exposed to the air, the fragrance of the golden nanmu leaf overflowed, lingering around Tian Baozhu, making her feel itchy even while lying in bed. The fragrance seemed to have a healing effect, and her body and mind were greatly relaxed. She felt that her mind was full of thoughts that wanted to burst out.
I wish pearls had such a strong fragrance. Just by smelling it, you could tell whether there are pearls in the clams.
Or let someone with a keen sense of smell...
Puppy!
How about asking a puppy with a keen sense of smell to help find it?
Tian Baozhu jumped out of bed with a start. What a good idea! Why hadn't she thought of it before?
A dog's sense of smell is a thousand times more sensitive than that of a human. Let the puppy smell the scent of pearls first, and then next time you go pearl hunting, let it smell the unselected river clams. That will be many times faster than them taking the time to select from hundreds of clams.
The red spider lily field, once a popular check-in spot for ghosts, has become as popular as it was. Most ghosts have adopted it as a common sight and no longer have the desire to explore. The puppy guards it, mostly because they don't want it to wander off. If it leaves its "station" and joins them in their pearl hunt, that wouldn't be a big deal.
I just don’t know if Meng Po can accept the puppy as an assistance dog.
※※※
The next day, when Tian Baozhu and Meng Po suggested letting the puppy join in the search for pearls, as expected, Meng Po showed an expression of disagreement.
"Meng Po, in modern society, dogs are also integrated into our daily search and rescue and recovery work. Working dogs can be our right-hand men. A puppy's sense of smell is a thousand times more sensitive than ours. Let it smell the pearls we brought back, and it can help us find the clams containing pearls."
Meng Po said, "Sister, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I don't trust that vicious dog's ability. Besides, after so many years in the underworld, even if its sense of smell was good once, it should have almost deteriorated by now."
Being looked down upon by Meng Po, the vicious dog barked beside him, as if to say in dissatisfaction: "My nose has not degenerated at all, I am super powerful. I can smell the smell from a distance, so I can run over to drive away those ghosts."
"Oh, so you used some tricks to drive away those ghosts?" said Meng Po.
Tian Baozhu watched the conversation between the man and the dog, wondering how Meng Po interpreted the meaning of the puppy's series of barks.
"Then try to find the pearl among the flowers. If you can, I will take you there."
Meng Po took out the only pearl she had found and challenged the dog. Unexpectedly, the dog showed no interest at all. It yawned loudly and lay down in front of the red spider lily without even glancing at her.
"Are you still putting on airs?! I gave you a chance, and you didn't even cherish it? Forget it, sister. Don't count on this vicious dog."
"I'm sorry, little dog. Even if you don't want to, I will take you there by force." Tian Baozhu picked up the vicious dog.
"Woof." The vicious dog by the river seemed to be obedient in Tian Baozhu's arms. It barked twice at Meng Po.
"Oh? You told me to hide it, but you can tell where it is? Humph, I'm telling you, don't brag."
The vicious dog's disdainful look made Meng Po itch.
She asked Tian Baozhu to take the vicious dog away, and then cleverly hid the pearl in the heart of the most beautiful red spider lily.
I want to see if you have the ability to go looking for things with us.
Meng Po asked Tian Baozhu to bring back the vicious dog. When the vicious dog hit the ground, Meng Po said, "Go find it and see if you have the ability."
Unexpectedly, as soon as it landed, it ran to the other side of the flower field where the pearls were hidden.
Meng Po thought, this guy seems to be really useful.
But it was away from her burial spot.
Oh no, I was just praising it in my mind. Looks like it’s no use.
"Woof woof woof." The vicious dog shouted loudly a few times, as if telling them: The pearl has been found and is hidden here.
Tian Baozhu said, "The puppy has found it." Then she turned back to look at Meng Po and asked, "Did it find the right one?"
Meng Po said, Sister, I will reveal the answer to you.
She took Tian Baozhu's hand and walked towards where she was hiding, but——
"No more? What happened?!"
Meng Po shouted.
Tian Baozhu was still standing beside him, looking puzzled. "What's wrong, Mengpo?"
"Oh my God! Sister, the precious pearl is gone!"
"ah?!"
Tian Baozhu also cried out. One of the pearls we had worked so hard to find was missing? That would be fatal!
She hurriedly asked Meng Po: "Did you remember the wrong location?"
"I remember correctly, this flower is the most colorful one in this flower field. I hid it here."
“Woof woof woof!”
The vicious dog started barking again, still lying a few steps away from them, as if calling them to come over and see what it had discovered.
Unexpectedly, between the two front paws of the vicious dog, there was a round pearl lying, which was exactly the one Meng Po had hidden. It turned out that the pearl rolled out under the wind and fell into the mud. The vicious dog followed the scent and found the real location.
"Little dog, did you find it? That's great, very great." Tian Baozhu touched the head, and the vicious dog whimpered twice, as if asking for credit and as if saying to Meng Po: How about it, now you see my strength?
Meng Po quickly picked up the precious pearl and wiped the dust off it. She said it with a hint of reluctance, but she nodded and announced the result: "You passed. You can go with us."
