Fragrance is good for purifying the heart

Chapter 271 Black Beans
Although Wu could only see some blurry figures in front of her eyes, she still walked out of the door with her little feet tremblingly full of hope. But when she went out, Gardenia looked at her retreating back, and remembered that she had just arrived in Xu. When there was no village, the villagers here would talk about hatred and jealousy against the rich, and the gossip that could crush a poor idiot like Xiaohua into the ground. She was not optimistic about Wu's trip to borrow black beans this time.

It was not yet sunset when she went out, but when she came back, the lights were already on at home.

When Wu came back with an empty cloth bag in her hand, her face was full of disappointment, and her eyes were filled with despair. Gardenia had already guessed that she must have been made things difficult and ridiculed by the villagers.

"What's wrong, mother-in-law?" Seeing her eyes filled with tears, Gardenia had already guessed this outcome, but she still asked her with concern.

Mrs. Wu burst into tears, her wrinkled face crisscrossed with tears, which looked particularly vicissitudes of life when reflected in the dim candlelight.

Wu choked with sobs and grabbed Gardenia's hand very hard: "Little miracle doctor, tell me, tell me quickly... can my little flower be cured?"

Gardenia stared deeply into her eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then replied firmly: "No, mother-in-law, I promise... I can cure Xiaohua's disease. If not, I will always be here to treat her. Until she recovers..."

Mrs. Wu was extremely emotional, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances outside, "But they said... they said that our little flower couldn't be cured... they borrowed it for nothing... it was just black beans, but they didn't even want to take any." Lend it to me... and they said they didn't have it..."

"It's just black beans. It's a very common ingredient. How come it's not available?" An He also felt a little bit angry. He didn't understand why the villagers of Xuwu Village were so concerned about the suffering of this family. ruthless?
"It's only human nature to laugh at the poor and the rich against the rich. Mother-in-law, don't be sad. Your son Wu Quan was an enviable person when he was a high school student in his early years. Now, although Xiaohua is seriously ill, Wu Quan has won the exam every year. The trustee sent home a lot of money, not only to treat Xiaohua's illness, but also enough to spend on your grandparents and grandchildren. This is already a very jealous thing in a small village, so they will expect If Xiaohua's illness is not cured, your family's misfortune will always follow you..."

"However, you and your grandson met me. I can't guarantee anything else, but I will definitely cure Xiaohua's illness."

Gardenia expressed her views in a calm and indifferent tone, but the last sentence seemed to be a "reassurance pill" for the Wu family's ancestors and grandsons.

Gardenia has been treating Xiaohua for a long time. Under her touch and gentle treatment, Xiaohua has become much quieter, as if she has become familiar with Gardenia and Anhe. She just stares at Gardenia with her big eyes and extends her hand from time to time. He touched Gardenia's face with his dirty little hands. Gardenia didn't dislike it, but smiled slightly with the corners of her lips.

"Then... little miracle doctor, what should I do with these black beans? The nearest market here takes two days for an adult to walk on foot. I am afraid that an old woman like me can't walk that far. Can I let this person do it?" Brother, go to the market for me tomorrow, there must be black beans in the market."

Wu wiped the tears from her eyes and stared at Gardenia and Anhe with hope.

Gardenia suddenly remembered that the courtyard of Mrs. Huang's house in Songhe Village next door seemed to be drying a lot of black beans. If she was willing to lend it out, wouldn't it be faster than the market?
So she explained the reason to Mrs. Wu and planned to leave at night with Anhe to go to Songhe Village next door to borrow some black beans from Mr. Huang.Mrs. Wu was very reluctant to go with An He and Gardenia. "Little miracle doctor, why don't you just let me go for a while? Why don't you go with me?"

Gardenia saw a little worry and anxiety in her eyebrows, and knew that she must be worried that she might leave and never come back, so she smiled, took her old hand and patted it, "Mother-in-law, don't worry , I went along just because I was worried that I might need other medicinal materials. If I let Xiao An go alone, I might miss some medicinal materials. It doesn’t matter, we will go back as soon as we go, and we will be back tomorrow at most."

Gardenia said this, but she was actually worried about An and going alone to Songhe Village next door to find the Huang family. There was still a funeral in the Huang family. When she went to the Huang family's house, she only felt the quiet feeling that night. There was something strange and weird about the wind, but it was just her intuition as a cultivator, so she didn't explain it clearly. Later, because she suddenly received the paper crane message from unknown origin, she ignored the strange feeling.

Now how can we safely let Xiao An, who has never practiced spiritual practice, go alone?
When Mrs. Wu saw that Gardenia insisted on going, she didn't want to force her to stay. She just sighed and lowered her head, "That's all. If Xiaohua's disease is cured well, it will be her blessing. If it still can't be cured, she will be blessed." , that’s God’s will, go ahead, little miracle doctor, I won’t keep you anymore…”

Although Songhe Village was not far from Xuwu Village, in order to be faster, Gardenia and Anhe still wielded fairy swords and arrived at the door of Huang's house in a short time.

An He pulled Gardenia all the way in, and sure enough he saw the black beans drying in the courtyard. He looked at Gardenia with joy in his eyes, "Sister, there are indeed black beans here. Sister has a really good memory." , I remembered it after just one glance. I will ask Granny Huang if she is willing to borrow it."

When he was about to enter the door, Xiao An let go of Gardenia's hand and was about to step into the door when a strange gust of cool wind suddenly blew out from the door and rushed towards Gardenia and An He.

It was the same as when I stayed here that day. It was still cool and quiet, and there was no strange smell in the wind. But the wind was actually blowing from the door, which was really strange and even more permeable. What's surprising is that the memorial tablet of Huang's husband is placed in the main hall of the house at this time.

A gust of wind passed by, and the three burning incense sticks actually floated in the air. In a daze, Gardenia seemed to see a vague human face appearing in the air where the incense rose, and she only blinked. Kung Fu disappeared.

Perhaps it was because An He had not yet practiced cultivation and had appeared in the form of a dragon body before. He did not see the abnormality that he had just seen in Gardenia's eyes. He raised his feet and walked in, calling out: "Huang Grandma, is Grandma Huang here?"

Although Gardenia saw something strange, she was a practitioner and was not afraid. She followed An He into the house with a calm face.

As soon as An He called out twice, there was movement in the room. Mrs. Huang walked out with an oil lamp lit. She was quite surprised to see the two people who came to the house the day before yesterday.
