Yan Ke was held in the arms of a man and walked on the country road.

Men's feet are really fast.The village that was once far away in the sky is now in sight.The breeze floated around him, pulling up his hair.Between the fluttering long hair, Yan Ke smelled a faint fragrance.

It seemed to be the fragrance from the vegetation in the forest, but it was slightly different.Yan Ke put her head on the man's shoulder slightly, and sucked her nose hard.

"What's wrong?" the man asked.

"There is a smell." Yan Ke said.

The man froze for a moment. "Although I haven't washed it for a few days, after all, it has already formed alchemy." He said with some embarrassment, "There should be no sweat stains on the scalp."

Yan Ke shook his head. "It's not that," he said, "it's the smell of plants."

"Ah." The man seemed relieved. "This is the smell of medicinal materials." He said, "I grew up in a pharmacy, and I have some smells on my body. Even though I have been away from home for many years, these smells have never dissipated."

"Even my name is the name of a kind of medicinal material." He changed Yan Ke's position in his arm so that he faced his face and said with a smile.

"What is it?" Yan Ke asked.

"Su Mu." The man smiled, "Du Sumu."

"Su Mu?" Yan Ke repeated these two words.There seems to be no such plants in the forest around Yuhuzhuang.

"Yes." The man said, "Sumu is a small tree that is not tall. It has scale-like leaves and yellow flowers. It is very common in the south. I will show you when I have a chance when I get back."

Yan Ke blinked. "Trees can also be used as medicinal materials?" he asked.

"Yes." The man said, "There are many medicines, all of which are branches, leaves, roots, and core materials of trees."

"Then what disease do you treat?" Yan Ke, as a sword, has never been disturbed by illness.The medicinal materials used by people, as well as human diseases, are all new things to him.He couldn't help but feel a little curious, and couldn't help asking.

A little hesitation appeared on Du Sumu's face. "... Amenorrhea." He replied.

"What is amenorrhea?" Yan Ke asked.

Du Sumu pursed his lips and tapped Yan Ke's forehead lightly. "If you really want to explain it from the beginning, then there is a bit too much to say." He smiled, "You just need to know that you won't get this kind of disease yourself."

"I won't." Yan Ke said, looking at Du Sumu, "What about you?"

"Of course I won't." Du Sumu said helplessly.

"Why." Yan Ke asked, "Since neither you nor I will get this kind of disease. Why are there still medicinal materials for this kind of disease?"

"Because in the Three Realms, besides you and me, there are many other people." Du Sumu said softly, "Many things are dispensable to you and me, but they are very important to others."

Yan Ke frowned slightly.He wasn't sure if he understood Du Sumu's words.Looking at his expression, Du Sumu raised the corners of his mouth, stretched out his fingers, and gently wiped away the fine wrinkles between his brows.

"Now, you know my name." Du Sumu smiled slightly, "but I don't know your name."

"Yan Ke." Yan Ke replied.

"Yan Ke? Is it the word I thought of?" Du Sumu asked, passing Yan Ke's name in the air, "Because it was born from a stone, it is homonymous with Yan; and because it is jade itself, So it's named 'Ke'?"

"I don't know." Yan Ke said, "After I was born, the former owner called me that."

"It's not a bad name." Du Sumu smiled lightly, "But you may not know that your name is not only a stone, but also a medicinal material."

"What is it?" Yan Ke asked.

"It's a clam." Du Sumu said, "It's born in the sea and hidden in the sand. It's small and round, very cute. Their shells can be used as medicine, and their scientific name is Ke."

Yan Ke listened ignorantly.What is the sea, what is the beach.What is the shell.He was at a loss.Du Sumu patted his cheek lightly.

"When we have a chance later, let's go to the seaside to have a look." Du Sumu said, "The scenery there is completely different from that on land. Maybe you will like it very much."

"Speaking of it." Du Sumu hugged Yan Ke, and it seemed that the conversation about the name had opened up the conversation, "I have a friend named Fang Hai. His parents named him because there was a "behavior policy." Fang Yuan, with the meaning of "Hai Chuan" in his heart, accidentally used the name of a medicinal material. Yan Ke, guess what it is?"

"I can't guess." Yan Ke said.

"It's a crab." Du Sumu's eyes bent into two beautiful arcs, as if he remembered something interesting, "It's a very interesting animal. It has two pincers and can only walk sideways. You poke it with a stick, and it'll hold onto the stick so tightly that it won't let go, and you can pick it up."

"I wanted to remind Fang Hai of the meaning of his name many times. But I thought, most people don't care as much as I do, and it's a little embarrassing to mention it, so forget it." Du Sumu said, "I'm afraid that after he becomes the head, there will be some The disciple laughed when he saw his name..."

Du Sumu's ramblings did not match his cold appearance, but Yan Ke didn't find it annoying.On the contrary, he felt that the man's talk was very interesting.He listened without saying a word.Du Sumu stopped suddenly.

"I talk too much." He looked at Yan Ke and said apologetically, "If you think I'm noisy, just tell me."

Yan Ke shook his head, he looked at Du Sumu. "Are crabs only found in the sea?" he asked. "Animals can also be used as medicinal materials?"

Du Sumu froze for a moment, then smiled softly.He touched Yan Ke's head. "Crabs are everywhere." He said, "Maybe in a while, I can catch a few and show you."

Du Sumu kept talking, Yan Ke listened silently, until later, when Du Sumu spoke too much, he couldn't help interrupting.

"Look! Duckling!" Du Sumu put his arm around Yan Ke's shoulder and pointed to a group of ducks passing by the road.

"Look! Little pig!" An old farmer drove a fat pig past, and Du Sumu pointed at the pig.

"Enough." Yan Ke couldn't bear it anymore, "Although I am young, I have lived for decades, so there is no need to talk to me like this."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Du Sumu looked a little embarrassed, "When I talk too much, I seem childish."

Seeing Du Sumu looking at her apologetically, Yan Ke couldn't help sighing.

"Forget it." He said, "Go ahead."

Du Sumu rolled his eyes and smiled. "I'll hold back," he said, looking ahead. "We're almost in town. Let's get some food. What would you like?"

Yan Ke shook his head.He hasn't eaten anything since he was born, and he can't say what he wants to eat.

"Then buy some of each and try one by one." Du Sumu looked at Yan Ke and smiled, "You can always find what you like to eat."

In this way, Yan Ke and Du Sumu headed towards the Linshu Mountain of the Jingming School, passing through several villages and towns, and some places with beautiful scenery.Yan Ke listened to Du Sumu's nagging along the way, often holding the damselfly beetles and crabs that Du Sumu caught for him.

Although being treated as a real child made Yan Ke feel a little awkward, but he was holding that warm and soft hand, and he gradually felt a little familiar with this strange world.

Everywhere Du Sumu went, he would buy some local snacks for Yan Ke.From melon seeds and peanuts to pastries and snacks.Yan Ke was not interested in these things, he just tasted them and then stopped eating.Du Sumu felt that it was a pity, so he would eat Yan Ke's leftovers.

Along the way, he didn't find his favorite food, but by looking at his leftover snacks, he knew what Du Sumu liked to eat.

Whenever Du Sumu bought some cakes and candies for Yan Ke as an excuse, Yan Ke would keep silent, eat some symbolically afterwards, and give him the rest.Du Sumu was also somewhat embarrassed, so he stopped talking nonsense with the owner of the pastry shop and bought what he liked, and then gave Yan Ke a few bucks.

Unknowingly, when Yan Ke sat on Du Sumu's shoulder and raised his head, he could already see a tall and green mountain rising above the plain.Du Sumu said that was Linshu Mountain, the two of them walked for a long time, and they were about to return to Du Sumu's sect.

Speaking of sects, during the conversation, Yan Ke knew that Du Sumu was the head of the Jingming sect.In charge of the affairs of hundreds of people in the entire sect, large and small.

Yan Ke has read some stories about the head of Xiuxian sect in those books of Yuhuzhuang.Those sect masters have high skill, deep cultivation, majestic and majestic.

However, in front of this...

Yan Ke stood in the room, looked at Du Sumu, and blinked slightly.

The two will go to Linshu Mountain starting tomorrow.Before going up the mountain, Du Sumu found an inn to stay in the nearest village to the Jingming sect.

"There's always something to do on the mountain, don't be so anxious, you can stay down there for a while longer." Du Sumu said.

"You don't want to go back to the mountain?" Yan Ke's thoughts were not very delicate, but she was somewhat aware of the reluctance in Du Sumu's heart.

"I don't really think so." Du Sumu sat on the bed, pursed his mouth lightly, and replied.

In the past few days, Yan Ke has met many people.He knew that the person in front of him was absolutely handsome among human beings.However, this supposedly handsome and majestic Sect Leader now looks like he is about to collapse on the bed, and his behavior and expression are all like a young man who doesn't know much about the world.

"Why?" Yan Ke asked, "Isn't that your home?"

"Yes." Du Sumu said, "but I still have six hundred disciples at home."

He pulled Yan Ke over and patted Yan Ke's cheek lightly. "My disciples are all the same as my son." He said, "Think about it, every time you go out, there will be a bunch of troubles caused by your son waiting for you after you return home. How would you feel?"

"I don't know." Yan Ke said honestly.

"I don't know the best." Du Sumu smiled and rubbed Yan Ke's hair, "You will be one of my sons from now on. I think you are a well-behaved and obedient child, but it doesn't matter if you are naughty occasionally."

"I'm not a child." Yan Ke said awkwardly.

"Yes, yes." Du Sumu smiled, lying on his side on the bed, and opened his arms to Yan Ke, "On the last night before going up the mountain, sleep with me for a while."

Yan Ke obediently took off his coat and slipped into Du Sumu's arms.Du Sumu said that because he devoured the fire jade, his soul was unstable and needed sapphire, so he had to sleep with Yan Ke every night to imprison the spirit.

After hearing this, Yan Ke believed it too, and was obediently held in Du Sumu's arms every day.He was lying on the bed, listening to the cicadas' sticky screams outside the window, and the sound of someone shaking the paper fan outside the window was also heard clearly.The sultry air around seemed to wake up something in Yan Ke's mind.

"You don't need to imprison your soul at all." Yan Ke said suddenly, "You hug me to sleep every night because it's hot in summer and my body is cold."

Du Sumu narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly at Yan Ke. "It's too hot, and my primordial spirit is also prone to irritability." He said solemnly, "The result is the same, so don't pursue the reason."

Yan Ke looked helplessly at the person in front of him, but was not angry.Since he came out of Yuhuzhuang, besides great joy and great sorrow, he seemed to have added many subtle emotions in his heart.Yan Ke couldn't describe these emotions.He felt a little excited.

There was also a little panic.

Suddenly, there were two clicks on the edge of the window, and a small piece of paper passed through the gap under the window and floated into the room.Du Sumu sat up vigilantly, holding Yan Ke behind him.He stretched out two fingers, clamped the note, read it carefully, and gradually frowned.

"I'm not going back to the mountain." Du Sumu's fingertips flashed, and the note was burned, "I'll send you up tomorrow first. I will explain everything, don't be afraid, get along well with Xiao Fang and the others."

"What's wrong?" Yan Ke asked.

Du Sumu sighed.

"My unlucky son got into big trouble and was locked up by those monks." He touched Yan Ke's head and said, "He asked me to go to the prison and bring him out."
