The Nameless Girl (3)
At night, Xu Mingyu was lying on the bed, and the experiences of these past few days kept flashing through her mind, which made her unable to sleep, tossing and turning. In the end, she simply sat up, got out of bed, and walked out the door lightly.
But as soon as she went out, she unexpectedly saw the girl carrying a bamboo basket, as if she was about to go out.
Seeing Xu Mingyu walk out of the room, the girl frowned, and asked, “You don’t sleep at night, what are you doing here?”
Xu Mingyu thought to herself, ‘Aren’t you staying up late at night and just about to go out?’
But Xu Mingyu didn’t say what was in her heart, but asked, “Sister, are you going out?”
The girl said lightly, “Yes.”
Xu Mingyu tentatively asked: “Then… is there anything I can do for you?”
“Help?” The girl looked at Xu Mingyu, and commented thoughtfully, “I’m going to go up the mountain to collect medicine. You look so delicate, can you even do it?”
Xu Mingyu nodded quickly and said, “It can be done! When I was on Ziqing Mountain, I often went around mountains with my master to collect herbs.”But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, her face froze involuntarily.
Did she just… did she just dare to mention her master?
The girl didn’t notice Xu Mingyu’s obviously wrong look. She just nodded and said, “If that’s the case, then let’s go together!”
As she spoke, the girl carried the basket on her back and pushed open the simple fence gate. Seeing this, Xu Mingyu hurriedly followed.
The two girls, one behind the other, walked up the mountain under the moonlight. Along the way, the girl never spoke, and Xu Mingyu didn’t know how to speak to the girl, so the journey was quite dull.
Regarding the girl whose name she didn’t know, Xu Mingyu was still very grateful.
After all, if the girl wasn’t there, she would have been feasted upon by demonic beasts long ago.
She really wanted to get closer to the girl, but she didn’t know what to say.
It wasn’t until seven or eight miles away that Xu Mingyu finally found a topic and asked, “Um… sister, why don’t you go up the mountain during the day, but choose to go up the mountain at night?”
The girl said without turning her head, “Someone picks medicine during the day.”
Xu Mingyu asked puzzledly, “So what? Do they not allow sister to go up the mountain to collect medicine?”
After a moment of silence, the girl said lightly, “No. It’s because my appearance easily scares them.”
Xu Mingyu was immediately left speechless.
After a long time, Xu Mingyu cautiously opened his mouth and asked, “Sister, how… how did you get this face? Can you tell me?”
The girl turned her head and glanced at Xu Mingyu, her bright eyes seemed to be filled with sarcasm as she said, “I didn’t know that people from Ziqing Sacred Land like to meddle in other people’s business so much.” ȓâƝòBΕs̈
Xu Mingyu’s face turned red, and she couldn’t help but retort, “I’m not meddling in other people’s business! Since you saved me, then I will repay you. If I can help heal the wound on your face, then I will be able to repay you!”
The girl turned her head back and said calmly, “It doesn’t matter. Even if you don’t heal my face, you don’t have to repay me. When I saved you, it was just a matter of convenience. Even if it was a puppy, I would still do it.”
Xu Mingyu’s two slender eyebrows could not help but knit together tightly.
Why is this girl talking so annoyingly?
Because she was aggrieved, Xu Mingyu didn’t speak again.
But the girl seemed to have forgotten that there was a person behind her, and she just searched for medicinal materials in the dense vegetation.
Every once in a while, she would bend down and carefully dig out a herb with a hoe, and then put it in the basket.
Xu Mingyu didn’t know where this young girl got her skills. Although the vegetation is so dark that she can hardly see her fingers, she can still see the road under her feet clearly, and she can also turn over herbs in hidden corners that ordinary people may not be able to find during the day.
Perhaps for this girl, there is not much difference between day and night.
Just thinking about it, the two of them had come to a lake before they knew it.
The girl looked at a corner of the lake, suddenly let out a breath of surprise, stepped forward quickly, and stopped in front of a blue herb.
She squatted down slowly, looked at the blue herb, and said to herself, “I never expected to see Heavenly Blue Water Grass here…”
“Heavenly Blue Water Grass?!”
Hearing this term, Xu Mingyu couldn’t help but exclaim, “Heavenly Blue Water Grass is naturally watery, and eating it can not only improve the cultivation base, but also strengthen the affinity of water attributes. Not only that, it is also the main ingredient of the Tianshui Pill. Such a thing is naturally priceless. Is this herb really Heavenly Blue Water Grass?”
While carefully digging out the Heavenly Blue Water Grass, the girl said lightly, “I never expected you to know a lot about this Heavenly Blue Water Grass.”
Xu Mingyu was very surprised, “I have never seen this Heavenly Blue Water Grass in Ziqing Sacred Land. It is said that most people will never see this blue grass in their lifetime, and I have never seen it once. I just read and saw the illustrations in the classics. Why are you so sure that this is the Heavenly Blue Water Grass? I think it looks very similar to the Ice Soul Blue Grass!”
