Follow the rules through the book

Entering the inner hall, he looked intently at the elderly man who was sitting in the main seat. This man had a kind face and a thin figure, with a dry pipe in his mouth, his eyes seemed to be closed, and the smoke was slowly spraying from his mouth. out.

"I'm the manager here, you can call me Xun Lao." Xun Lao said.

He nodded and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Xun, it's really my fault to interrupt today, but I do have something to ask for."

"What's the matter?"

I chuckled and replied: "I know that the medicine pavilion is under the jurisdiction of Beichen's family, and the person who gave me this medicine bottle is also the powerful person of Beichen's family. However, what I want can't be obtained in other places except Beichen's family..."

"You seem very clear. Since this is the case, I won't be going around in circles. I don't know what the nobleman is looking for?"

"Hehehe, what I want is Xueran..."

"Xueran?!" Elder Xun immediately opened his eyes, stared at me sharply, and said, "Do you know what that is? Just come here to ask for it."

"I know it, so I said that there will be..."

"Yueran is not an ordinary thing, how can you be sure that I will hand him over to you..."

"I believe you will, because the Beichen family is the most important promise. The person who gave me the medicine bottle also promised me that as long as I have a request, I can go to the Medicine Pavilion to get it."

Elder Xun was taken aback for a moment, stared at me with narrowed eyes, and said, "You've already met that adult..."

"It's just a one-sided relationship...I believe Mr. Xun will not be interested in the specific details."

"I won't say much about your lord's affairs, but those who can get your lord's appreciation are definitely not ordinary people..."

"Hehehe, maybe..."

"Since this is an adult's request, I will not say anything more. However, there are not many Xueran in the first place. I would like to ask, what is the use of your honor?"

"This... it's not convenient for me to disclose it for the time being, but I promise it's definitely not hurting people..."

"Xueran's medicinal properties have two sides. It can save people, but it can also harm people. Therefore, I still remind you here, and hope that you can make good use of it."

I nodded and said with a smile, "I will..."

Elder Xun turned his face to the side and whispered to the drug boy next to him. The drug boy understood and stepped back. After a while, an exquisite gift box was placed next to me. When I opened it, the beautiful snow dye was placed on the table. Put it in the middle.

"Thank you Xun Lao." I cupped my hands and said.

Elder Xun waved his hand, stood up and left the inner hall, put away the brocade box, and walked out without looking back. When he left the inner hall, the shopkeeper greeted him, and said with a smile: "Your honored guest, it will be settled soon." gone."

I nodded and replied: "Yes, let the shopkeeper worry about it."

"It's important to be a guest, this is my duty." I smiled, and the shopkeeper sent me outside the door, looking at my disappearing back, and pondered for a while.

Back at the station, it was already evening, and everyone had already returned to the station to light a fire and cook, glanced away, and then walked towards Izumo.

"Where have you been?" Izumo asked.

"Where did you go? I went to do some private affairs. When did you come back?"

He took the potato that Izumo handed over, and slowly peeled the skin following Izumo's movements. "For a while, I didn't see you when I came back, so I was a little worried."

"Oh, I made you worry, by the way, why didn't you see Dongfang Changxi and the others?"

"After all, they have been tired all day. They went to the stream to wash first. If I hadn't waited for you to go too, we'll be together later!"

I was startled, and when I moved my hand quickly, a bloody hole was cut on my finger, and the blood flowed out, staining the potato in my hand red.

"oops!"

I yelled, threw the quick potato aside, put my injured finger into my mouth and sucked it, the taste of rust spread in my mouth, irritating my tongue.

"What's going on, why did you hurt your hand, be careful, spit it out quickly, it's not clean, let me take you to treat the wound."

Saying that, he grabbed my hand and pulled me to walk towards the tent.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Ao stopped us, and Izumo looked at him curiously with a reddish face, and said, "You... what are you doing?"

Xuanyuan Ao said: "I'll take care of her injuries, you go and do your own business."

"Oh... ah... good, good."

Izumo nodded, handed me over to Xuanyuan Ao, then turned and left.Xuanyuan Ao pulled me into his tent, took out alcohol, gauze, and cotton balls, he gently cleaned the stains on the wound, then soaked the cotton balls in alcohol, and carefully wiped the wound.

The alcohol stung the wound, and I cried out in pain, "It hurts so much! Take it easy, take it easy."

Xuanyuan Ao looked up at me, and said calmly, "...does it hurt?"

"Um……"

Suddenly, he lowered his head and kissed the wound, softly: "Kiss, the pain is all gone..."

Immediately, my whole body froze, and I withdrew my hand violently like an electric shock, slurring my words, and said, "You...you...what are you doing?!"

"...What my mother taught me can relieve pain..."

"Mother?"

Xuanyuan Ao hummed lightly, pulled back my hand, and continued to apply the medicine. The temperature from the kiss just now still faintly remained. This feeling made my heart beat faster, and I was a little at a loss.

"...You...your mother...you seem to love your mother very much?"

"Well... she... is very gentle..."

"...then she must be pretty..."

"Yes...it's beautiful..."

"You know what? If it's a kid, he'll be happy to say that, but if it's an adult, he'll be intimidated." "Why?"

"do not you get it?"

Xuanyuan Ao shook his head, I sighed softly, patted his head comfortingly, and said solemnly: "Because this will make people misunderstand..."

"Misunderstanding what?"

"Well... how should I put it? It just makes you feel that you have a good impression of her, like her, and please her, do you understand?"

"It's done."

Xuanyuan Ao let go of my hand, picked up alcohol and other items, stood up and left, I shrugged, looked at my bandaged fingers, and said with a smile: "Thank you."

After finishing speaking, he left his tent, Xuanyuan Ao's eyes flashed tenderness, his eyes fixed on my back, his fingers lightly brushed his lips, and said: "...Are you really because... I don't understand?"

After getting out of the tent, I went back to my tent, staring at the bandaged fingers with a dull look, I didn't even feel Liuli coming, Liuli stared strangely, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah!" I yelled in panic, "No, it's nothing..."

"You have been staring at this injured finger for a long time, how did it hurt?"

"When I was peeling potatoes just now, I accidentally hurt it. It's already bandaged and it's fine..."

"Since it's bandaged, why are you still staring at it for so long? Could it be that it hurts?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore..."

"If it doesn't hurt, let's see. I'm here, and you haven't even noticed. What are you focusing on?"

"nothing……"

"Really?"

"Ah."

"Okay, don't say it, forget it, I won't force it. By the way, I have already checked what you asked me to investigate. This area is really strange as you said. This Xuanyuan Ao is indeed a smart person."

"Smart people have their own methods, what have they discovered?"

"The magnetic field is different, and the spiritual energy is scarce. Most of the spirit beasts I found are low-level and do not have wisdom, but the vegetation is flourishing in the center, and the spiritual energy is abundant."

"Well, then the resident spirit beasts in this area are..."

"No, this place feels like a desert, and the middle location is like an oasis. There should be a formation here. The formation gathers a little bit of spiritual energy around, so that the cultivation can be more effective with half the effort."
