Chapter 206
After the sound of thunder faded away, He Tianshu, whose heart was palpitating with fear, slowly fell asleep.
There were many people who didn't fall asleep in the small courtyard. There were also many people who didn't fall asleep in the entire Huan Xi Manor. Even in the Misty Manor, there were many people who didn't fall asleep. They all seemed to be thinking in their hearts, which unlucky fellow had done something bad to attract the heavenly thunder for the entire night? Even if it was an immortal, would he also be struck to pieces?
The sound of thunder faded away, but the rain didn't have the slightest sign of stopping. The sky was covered by dark clouds, and not a trace of sunlight could be seen. However, Zhang Xiaohua, who was in the straw hut, suddenly opened her eyes. That trace of light in her deep eyes flashed and disappeared without a trace.
When Zhang Xiaohua woke up, she was first at a loss. Following which, she was pleasantly surprised. Feeling her entire body with both hands, she didn't find any missing parts. Then, as if she had thought of something, she immediately rushed out of the straw hut, completely ignoring the rain that filled the sky.
Facing the faint light of dawn, everything in the medicine field was already clear in her eyes. Her eyes were filled with emerald green, mixed with a little bit of withered yellow. The scene that she was used to seeing looked exceptionally beautiful at this moment. For a moment, Zhang Xiaohua actually stood in the rain, letting the rain pour over her head and body. Her face was even more wet. She didn't know if it was all the rain?
Or was it Zhang Xiaohua's tears? In short, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes were wet and her nose was sour.
This night, she didn't work in vain!
After a long while, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't be bothered to recall the danger of last night. She immediately rose from the ground and ran towards the small courtyard.
There was a distance from the medicine field to the small courtyard. That small path had been washed by the rain for the entire night and was rather muddy. After running a few steps, Zhang Xiaohua's feet were full of mud and she almost fell. Hence, she unknowingly used the Ethereal Steps. The Levitation Technique had an immediate effect and actually pulled Zhang Xiaohua up a little from the ground. Then, using the Ethereal Steps technique, Zhang Xiaohua nimbly flew towards the small courtyard like a swallow.
Fortunately, it was still early in the morning. Everyone had been disturbed by the thunder and lightning throughout the night. They were currently catching up on their sleep, and no one had woken up so early. Otherwise, they would have been shocked by Zhang Xiaohua's profound Qing Gong.
When Zhang Xiaohua arrived at the courtyard, he immediately ran to He Tianshu's door and banged on it. He shouted, "Captain He, Captain He, the herbs are alive! The herbs are alive!"
In the small house, He Tianshu was still in a daze when he suddenly heard someone shouting, "The herb is alive."
First, he was shocked. Then, he was overjoyed. But soon after, he looked into the dim little house and laughed at himself, "Don't tell me I'm dreaming. What I think of in the day is also a dream. How can that herb be alive?"
He Tianshu turned over and was about to regroup and look for Zhou Gong when the door of the small house shook. Zhang Xiaohua's familiar voice sounded again, "Captain He, the herb is alive."
This time, He Tianshu really believed that he wasn't dreaming. He hurriedly rolled out of bed and jumped to the door. When he opened the door, he saw a drenched Zhang Xiaohua. She was covered in water and there were traces of blood on her body and clothes.
He Tianshu anxiously asked, "Zhang Xiaohua, what happened to you?
Where did you go? You're covered in rain. Also, why is there a red color here?
Is it blood? "
Then, he actually sniffed a few times and said, "Where did this stench come from?"
Looking for the source of the stench, He Tianshu looked at Zhang Xiaohua suspiciously.
Zhang Xiaohua was about to tell He Tianshu about the herbs, but when he heard He Tianshu say that there were traces of blood and a stench on his body, he hurriedly looked down. Yes, there were a few traces of red on his cuffs. Looking carefully, the rainwater dripping down his hands and feet also had a faint red color. However, at this time, the sky was still dark, so he couldn't see clearly. Zhang Xiaohua thought of the stinging pain on his body before he fell asleep last night. He must have been injured last night. He raised his sleeve to his nose and smelled it. It really did have a fishy smell.
She rolled her eyes and smiled, "It's nothing, Captain He. Maybe I fell on the road and scraped myself. I don't have any smell on my body. Is your nose broken?"
Then, she quickly changed the topic and said, "Captain He, good news. Most of the herbs in the herb field are alive. There are also a few that are yellow and withered."
When He Tianshu heard this, he didn't care about anything else and said in astonishment, "Really?
That's impossible! "
At this time, Nie Xiao 'er and the others who were awakened by Zhang Xiaohua's thunderous banging on the door also put on their clothes and walked out. They all heard Zhang Xiaohua's shocking news.
They also looked at He Tianshu with an expression that said, "Don't lie to me, I won't believe you."
Zhang Xiaohua saw that no one believed her and anxiously pulled on He Tianshu's clothes and said, "You guys don't believe me? Let's go. Why don't you follow me to the herb field to see?"
He Tianshu was also anxious and was about to run into the rain when Nie Xiao 'er pulled him back and said, "Captain He, umbrella, umbrella."
Only then did He Tianshu wake up. Everyone went back to get umbrellas and quickly walked out of the house.
He Tianshu looked at Zhang Xiaohua's sorry state and said with a smile, "Zhang Xiaohua, look at you. Hurry and go wash up and change your clothes. You don't know how to use internal energy and your body is still weak. Be careful not to catch a cold.
You don't need to follow us. The herbs are already alive. You've also just seen them. You can go later. "
Zhang Xiaohua thought about it and agreed. She was covered in rain and might even have blood stains on her body. It wasn't a good idea to follow them. Thus, after He Tianshu and the others went out with umbrellas, she quickly went back to the house to get an umbrella and clean clothes and went outside to wash up.
When Zhang Xiaohua was washing up, she found that her body was covered in a thin blood cocoon. It had already solidified. After being washed by the rain, a lot of it fell off her body and stuck to her clothes or flowed along the rain to the ground. There were also black things in the blood cocoon that gave off a fishy smell. The smell made people want to vomit. However, she didn't find any injuries on her body. "Pure white and flawless."
Zhang Xiaohua was very surprised. Yesterday's stinging pain was clearly on the surface of her body. Could it be that after a night, it had completely healed?
Or was her feeling wrong and it was purely an internal injury?
However, with Zhang Xiaohua's current level of internal energy cultivation, if she wanted to check her meridians, she still had to sit cross-legged and circulate her energy. When she washed up, it was better to just wash up.
The other fishy smell that made He Tianshu suspicious actually appeared on Zhang Xiaohua's body as early as when they were in the Guozhuang House. However, it was only a little and the smell wasn't this strong. Zhang Xiaohua only thought that she was sweating a lot because she was tired from daily work. Today, it appeared ten times more and gave Zhang Xiaohua a reminder. A phrase immediately flashed in Zhang Xiaohua's mind: "Cleansing the body and cleansing the marrow."
Wasn't this a phrase that she had just seen in the fourth layer of the 《Carefree Heart Sutra》?
It seemed that when the 《Carefree Heart Sutra》 was cultivated to the fourth layer, it would have the effect of cleansing the body and cleansing the impurities in the cultivator's body. She had just started cultivating, so how could she cleanse the body and cleanse the marrow?
Moreover, what was the deal with that slight fishy smell in the past?
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaohua felt that there were many things about her that she couldn't understand. In the past, she didn't care and was too lazy to think about it, but now that more and more things were happening, she had no choice but to re-examine herself.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua noticed the wide black bracelet on her left wrist. It had been a long time since she left the Guozhuang House, and Zhang Xiaohua was no longer the lost and ignorant youth from before. She already had a deep understanding of the world and the ways of the world, not to mention something as common as a bracelet.
Zhang Xiaohua gently took off the bracelet from her wrist. This bracelet was more than twice as wide as a normal bracelet, but it was extremely thin and dark. When she looked at it carefully, she could almost get lost in it. When she turned it slightly, she could actually see a trace of starlight in it. But what time was it? When Zhang Xiaohua looked up, the entire room was sealed and filled with water vapor. How could there be any light coming in?
After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Xiaohua couldn't see anything special about it. This bracelet had been on her wrist for so long that she had long forgotten about it, treating it as a part of her arm. Now that she thought about it, many inexplicable things that had happened to her seemed to be related to this bracelet. And these inexplicable things were extremely beneficial to her. Since they were beneficial to her, why should she delve into it?
Time was the answer to all questions.
Presumably, at some point in time, even if she didn't want to know, the secret of this bracelet would appear in front of her.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua sighed and put the bracelet back on her left hand.
Just as she put it on, she seemed to feel that something was wrong. She took it off again, but still felt that something was wrong, so she put it on again. After doing this for a while, Zhang Xiaohua's eyes lit up. She finally found out what was wrong.
The bracelet could actually retract by itself. When she put it on her wrist, it would shrink to the same thickness as her wrist. It was just right for her to wear, so she didn't feel like she was moving up and down. Moreover, the bracelet was so light that it was almost weightless. It was the same as not wearing it at all. Moreover, when the bracelet was taken off her wrist, it would automatically become thicker, just enough for her palm to pass through.
At this time, no matter how stupid Zhang Xiaohua was and how she couldn't be sure that the bracelet was related to the changes in her body, there was one thing that she was absolutely certain of: this bracelet was definitely not ordinary.
Thinking about how extraordinary the bracelet was, Zhang Xiaohua immediately thought of an old saying: An ordinary man's wealth is his own ruin by causing others' greed.
This was what Liu Qian, Li Jinfeng and the rest, as well as He Tianshu, had told her. Zhang Xiaohua couldn't be bothered to wash up at this time. She carefully thought about everything that had happened since she got the bracelet. It seemed that other than her parents, eldest brother and second brother, no one else knew that she had such a bracelet. Even her parents thought that she had thrown away this little toy long ago.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohua was slightly relieved.
