Chapter 204

Zhang Xiaohua would never shirk the responsibility.

But if Zhang Xiaohua were to bear this responsibility, he would hesitate as well.

Not to mention the information that Zhang Xiaohua had obtained from her indirect questioning, the cultivation method of her internal strength was very different from He Tianshu and the rest. How could she explain to them the cause of the medicinal herbs dying?

Moreover, even if she was brave enough to bear the responsibility, would He Tianshu and the rest really think that it was Zhang Xiaohua's responsibility, and not a reason that Zhang Xiaohua had fabricated to shirk the responsibility for them?

These were all secondary. The most important thing was that Zhang Xiaohua felt that she did not have the ability to bear the consequences of this mistake. The one thousand taels of silver that she had just received did not seem to be enough to compensate for these medicinal herbs.

Thinking that the silver would grow wings and fly away, Zhang Xiaohua felt a pang of pain in her heart.

However, if He Tianshu and the rest were to be severely punished by the pharmacy hall because of her unintentional mistake, that was not something that Zhang Xiaohua was willing to see.

Therefore, Zhang Xiaohua's heart was extremely tangled.

However, seeing that the sun had already risen high and He Tianshu and the rest did not come over, Zhang Xiaohua felt that it was very strange. The medicinal herbs in the medicinal field had already withered to such a state, why were they not concerned?

Weren't they still panicking yesterday? Why did their temperament change after the Autumn Festival?

Zhang Xiaohua quickly walked back to the courtyard and knocked on the doors of each house, but there was no response. Immediately, Zhang Xiaohua was puzzled. They had all disappeared so early in the morning, what were they doing?

However, after thinking for a while, she knew the answer. To be able to make them disappear collectively, other than the medicinal herbs in the medicinal field, what else could it be? If they were not in the medicinal field, then they must have gone to the pharmacy hall.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua could not help but sigh. This was really a difficult matter.

As Zhang Xiaohua walked back, he was racking his brains to think and recall. At this moment, he realized that although he had read many ancient books about medicinal herbs, these books all recorded how to plant the herbs, how to plant the herbs best, and also recorded the medicinal properties of the herbs. However, they did not mention how the herbs grew. Just like planting crops, how to fertilize them?

This could not be said to be a very strange matter.

Moreover, the term Qi of Heaven and Earth was only recorded in the "Carefree Heart Sutra". Other boxing manuals and ancient books about medicinal herbs were not involved. Instead, there were some vague words in the books that Li Jinfeng occasionally used to amuse him......

Zhang Xiaohua came to the side of the field absent-mindedly and sat cross-legged in the straw hut. If it were any other time, he would have already circulated his Qi. He quite liked the feeling of drawing Qi and refining it. It was like playing with a toy. The more he worked, the more exquisite it would be.

Unfortunately, he was not in the mood now. It was strange that his mood swings directly affected the "Carefree Heart Sutra". It was very difficult to enter that peaceful, thoughtless state of mind. Without this state of mind, it was also very difficult for him to adjust the frequency of his breathing and release his perception.

Zhang Xiaohua spent the whole morning in a dilemma. One moment, he was determined to stand up bravely and admit that he had made a big mistake. The next moment, he shrank back and found excuses for himself. In short, it was almost noon, but he still had not made up his mind.

Just as he was having a new round of conflict between good and evil in his heart, Zhang Xiaohua suddenly heard a group of footsteps approaching the herb field. Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly stood up, thinking that it must be the people from the Pharmacy Hall. But when he looked up, he only saw He Tianshu and the other four people. There was not a single unfamiliar face.

Looking from afar, He Tianshu and the others did not look as depressed as he imagined. Naturally, they did not look relaxed either. Zhang Xiaohua was very curious. Could it be that they were not punished by the Pharmacy Hall?

Without waiting for He Tianshu and the others to come closer, Zhang Xiaohua hurriedly ran up to them. The first thing he said was, "Captain He, I think, it's all my fault …"

But before he could finish speaking, He Tianshu waved his hand and said, "Zhang Xiaohua, didn't I say before that this matter is everyone's problem? Don't take the responsibility just because you were the only one taking care of the herb field. That's really meaningless.

We all know that you worked hard. If we can't share the pain now, how can we still be considered disciples of the Misty School? "

"This …" Zhang Xiaohua opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Then, Zhang Xiaohua asked again, "Captain He, where did you go this morning?

Did you go back to the Pharmacy Hall? "

He Tianshu looked a little worriedly at the herb field that had turned yellow and withered. He nodded silently.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to ask anymore.

After a while, he finally couldn't hold it in and asked tentatively, "Captain He, that … What punishment did you receive?"

He Tianshu didn't say anything. Nie Xiao Er beside him said with a heavy expression, "Ai, it's really unexpected. It's hard to explain in a few words. I think …"

Halfway through his sentence, he sighed deeply and squatted down.

Zhang Xiaohua was stunned and asked anxiously, "Don't tell me …"

Nie Xiao Er held his head and said, "Yes, exactly.

I really didn't expect it. "

Zhang Xiaohua was dumbfounded and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that at most you would be grounded for a few months and forfeited a few months of salary? How did it suddenly become expulsion today?"

Nie Xiao 'er said earnestly, "Yes, the affairs of the world are unpredictable. Who knows what will happen in the next moment?"

Zhang Xiaohua was about to console him sorrowfully.

He heard He Tianshu laugh and scold him, "What nonsense are you saying?

Zhang Xiaohua, don't think too much and don't listen to Xiao Er's nonsense. "

Nie Xiao Er jumped up from the ground and said, "Captain He, listen to me. I didn't say a word of nonsense. It was all Zhang Xiaohua who said it."

Zhang Xiaohua looked at the two strangely and didn't understand, "What's going on? Didn't your Hall Master scold you?"

He Tianshu shook his head and said, "Things don't seem to be as serious as we thought. We discussed yesterday and went to the Medicine Hall early in the morning to ask for punishment. We tried to take the initiative and be lenient if we were honest.

Who knew that Hall Master Bai wasn't here and Elder He was also absent-minded. He seemed to be busy with something. After hearing our report, he waved his hand and told us to come back first. He said that he wanted us to observe first and come to Huan Xi Manor when he had time. "

Zhang Xiaohua was dumbfounded and said, "These herbs are dying. Will Elder He be able to see them when he comes in a few days?"

"Yes, that's what I said too."

He Tianshu said helplessly, "But Elder He said that he had more important things to do and didn't have any time.

He also said that he wanted us to find the cause and see if we can save them. "

"I see."

Zhang Xiaohua said thoughtfully, "That is to say, even if the herbs in this medicine field die, you won't be punished severely?"

He Tianshu smiled and said, "It seems so.

Maybe it's just a monthly fine. "

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua felt a big stone in her heart fall to the ground. Well, she was anxious for half a day in the morning. It seemed that the Medicine Hall didn't care at all. Well, it saved her the trouble of standing up.

He Tianshu and the others patrolled the medicine field for a moment and looked at the withered and yellow plants, but they still couldn't do anything. In fact, the punishment in the Medicine Hall was secondary. The key was that they were in charge of cultivating herbs and making medicine. They couldn't accept that the herbs they were so proud of had become like this. They always wanted to find a way to save these herbs.

Everyone looked and discussed carefully, but there was still no way. Then they called Zhang Xiaohua to go back to the small courtyard. Zhang Xiaohua hadn't been back to the cottage for a long time and was too lazy to go back now. After walking halfway, she wanted to go to the forest to practice martial arts and parted ways with He Tianshu and the others.

Ever since Zhang Xiaohua found the feeling of the Levitation Technique in the arena, she had always wanted to find a chance to experience it. Wasn't this a good time to practice martial arts in the afternoon?

In the forest, Zhang Xiaohua hadn't come for a few days, but the scenery was still the same. Today was a cloudy day. Although it was just past noon, there was no sunlight at all. Thick clouds blocked the sky and it was very gloomy.

Zhang Xiaohua sat cross-legged under a tree. First, she carefully comprehended the details and main points of the Levitation Technique in her heart. Then, she repeatedly thought about the experience of using Qing Gong twice in the arena. Only then did she float up and practice Qing Gong for the first time.

The practice of Qing Gong was indeed based on talent. She heard from He Tianshu that as long as one's inner strength reached a certain level, Qing Gong was just a technique. As long as one used their inner strength, they could make their body as light as a swallow.

It was a pity that Zhang Xiaohua wasn't someone with extraordinary talent. The Levitation Technique of the Ethereal Steps was explained in detail. Moreover, he had indeed used it twice, but he was still unable to make his body move an inch from the ground.

After trying it countless times, Zhang Xiaohua reluctantly gave up. Because the sky was filled with dark clouds and there were faint scenes of lightning and thunder. In order to not become a drowned rat, he could only rush back to the hut early.

Indeed, after he returned to the hut, before he could tidy up the things in the hut, bean-sized raindrops began to fall with "pitter-patter" sounds.

Zhang Xiaohua listened to the distant thunder and the rhythm of the rain hitting the banana leaves. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that he had returned early.

But before the rejoicing mood had passed, Zhang Xiaohua's mind suddenly had a flash of lightning. His hands that were tidying up his things suddenly stopped. Because he suddenly thought of a method to treat the yellowing of the medicinal herbs!
