Chen Jisheng has always been an upright and almost rigid person.
In his eyes, sincerity is the most important thing in interactions between people, and lying is not a good habit.
However, in the recent period, he told three lies in a row.
The first lie is - the reason why he rarely left Yishui Yamen was not to go out to the office to handle official business, but to go to Mount Yi to collect medicine.
The second lie is - the snow ginseng in the box was not given to him by Master Qianhu of Qingzhou Prefecture, but he sneaked into the restricted area of Yishan to pick it himself.
The lie in the third game is - the reason why he suddenly coughed was not because he went to a restaurant to eat chili and got angry, but because he was secretly picking snow ginseng when he was attacked by a monster under the command of the Yishan Snow Girl. It was discovered that the meridians were injured during the battle, causing the breath in the body to be disordered.
If he had not broken through the fourth realm "Wangxiangtai" at the critical moment and acquired the ability to fly with a sword, he might have died on the towering snow mountain.
However, Chen Jisheng was still confused at this time -
He felt that with Xue Nu's "fierce god" level strength, if she really had murderous intentions, she should not He can be killed easily with no effort, and it is impossible to let him fly away with his sword.
“Could it be that Yishan Snow Girl is now in a critical period of breakthrough in strength, so it is not convenient for her to attack me?
“Or, as the rumors say, she only targets handsome young men. People are interested, but they don’t like an old bone like me at all? "
Chen Jisheng secretly guessed.
However, he did not spend too much time thinking about this issue.
The level of "fierce god" level ghosts is too high. , it is useless for Chen Jisheng to think about it, just leave it to the saints to have a headache.
Chen Jisheng only hopes that this precious snow ginseng can improve Gu Xu's body to a certain extent.
p>Although the boy's lifeline was injured - even taking snow ginseng may not help him extend his life.
But as long as it can make Gu Xu healthier and healthier. If he is stronger and no longer as sickly as he is now, his trip will be worthwhile.
And Chen Jisheng also knows that even though Gu Xu always has a suave and unruly smile on his face, It seems that he doesn't take anything to heart -
But in fact, Gu Xu is a very proud and strong young man
The favor given to him by others. , On the surface, he may accept it without changing his face, but in fact, he will keep this debt firmly in his heart.
If this favor is too heavy, it may become a problem for Gu Xu.
For example, if a father takes his son to a restaurant for a delicious meal on his day off, the son eats it with gusto.
But halfway through the meal, the father told his son that the price of this delicious meal was very expensive and was due to his hard work at the dock.It took him a month of hard work carrying goods - during this period, he not only endured the sun and rain, but also sprained his wrists and ankles many times.
At this time, what this delicious meal brings to his son will no longer be happiness, but pain and guilt.
By analogy, if Gu Xu knew that he risked his life to pick snow ginseng in Yishan in order to treat him, then with Gu Xu’s character, he would definitely have an extremely strong feeling deep in his heart. Guilt.
Chen Jisheng did not want Gu Xu to bear any psychological pressure, let alone Gu Xu to worry about his injury.
That’s why he pretended to be nonchalant in front of Gu Xu and told the above three understatement lies.
…………
It’s a pity that Chen Jisheng made all the calculations but missed one thing.
That is, as a time traveler who has lived two lives, Gu Xu's mind is much more mature than Chen Jisheng imagined.
These lies of Chen Jisheng may be able to deceive an ordinary seventeen-year-old boy, but they cannot be deceived by Gu Xu.
At this moment, Gu Xu was in his kitchen, concentrating on making soup with snow ginseng.
He is not a hypocritical person.
He knows that if he wants to repay this favor, the best way is to eat this snow ginseng with peace of mind, and strive to make himself stronger and live longer, so that he can do better in the future. The ground shared Mr. Chen's worries.
An hour later.
The snow ginseng in the pot is gradually boiled.
The medicinal fragrance spreads and fills the room. The smell is refreshing.
Gu Xu opened the lid of the pot and scooped himself a bowl of ginseng soup. Then he sat at the dining table and tasted it slowly, spoonful by spoonful.
The taste of this ginseng soup is a bit bitter, with a faint earthy smell, and it is not delicious at all.
But Gu Xu felt that this was the most delicious food he had ever tasted in his life.
"Gu Xu, how do you feel?"
Shi Xiaohan sat opposite him, holding his chin with his hands, and asked curiously.
Gu Xu smiled and replied: "Very good."
"How good is it?"
"I feel like I am about to ascend to immortality." ”
As he spoke, Gu Xu could clearly feel the medicinal power of snow ginseng flowing and spreading in his meridians.
Like the melted snow in early spring, it is clear and sweet, nourishing every inch of dry land along the way.
His heartbeat first accelerated, and then gradually became calm and stable.
And a faint color of blood gradually appeared on his pale face.
He stood up slowly.
At this moment, in Shi Xiaohan’s eyes, Gu Xu’s whole person became radiant.
Xiao Xiao is solemn, refreshing and clear, the dragon and phoenix postures are natural.
Although a bowl of ginseng soup is not enough to fundamentally change Gu Xu’s thin physique, it is even less likely to make himBecome a muscular man instantly.
But it greatly improved his energy and spirit.
At least, from the perspective of others, they would no longer regard him as a weak and sick man.
Not to mention being grabbed by the sleeves by charlatans on the street, selling drugs while earnestly advising: "Young people should not overindulge."
"How about you try? Try your newly learned movement technique?" Shi Xiaohan suggested.
This morning, Gu Xu's lightning-fast movements left a very deep impression on her.
She couldn't wait to see Gu Xu perform it again.
"Okay!" Gu Xu readily agreed.
After that, he used the "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique and disappeared into the room.
Shi Xiaohan looked around, but could not find Gu Xu in any corner of the house.
After a while, Gu Xu returned to her.
Only at this moment, a bouquet of bright red camellias appeared in Gu Xu’s hand.
"I just picked this on the hills in the suburbs of Yishui," the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, "Does it look good?"
"It looks good!" Shi Xiaohan said without thinking replied.
Hearing her words, Gu Xu smiled and put the camellias in the vase on the table.
At this moment, his breathing was slightly rapid, but his heartbeat was extremely stable.
The "Meteor Walking on the Moon" movement technique did not bring him any uncomfortable feeling.
Inadvertently, Chen Jisheng’s cough echoed in his mind.
He sighed silently.
