Tell the lord, the princess has climbed the wall

Chapter 129 The Secret of Peach Blossom Village
"Secret? What secret can there be?"

"Of course it's about the source of the money." Xiao Shui said, leaning over to Zuo Mu's ear and said mysteriously,

"In these years, on the second day of February when the dragon raises its head, my mother would take the women and children of various families to Tianlong Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha, obviously to pray for us, but in fact it was not.

I know that those grown-ups praying to Buddha is fake, but they are actually waiting for others to give them money. "

"Giving money?" Zuo Mu was taken aback, and squinted at Xiao Shui, "How do you know about this, you must have made up nonsense, right?"

"Of course not." Seeing that Zuo Mu didn't believe him, Xiao Shui hastily proved without hesitation.
"Because every time after worshiping Buddha, Hei Wa and the others will eat delicious food for many days in a row.
This is very abnormal, okay, no one gave them money, where did they get the money to buy so many delicious food all of a sudden?

And my mother, too, every time I went up the mountain, she was fine, but when I came back, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had cried.

Another time, I secretly followed A Niang out of curiosity, and then saw her follow two tall uncles..."

As Xiaoshui said, he stretched out his hand and gestured,

"By the way, I remembered that the size was about the same as the two uncles who came that day. They stalked around and sneaked into a small room, and didn't come out until half an hour later.

When she came out again, her mother's eyes were red, and she had a small bundle in her hand. "

tall man?
All the children without a father?

Could it be what I thought?

Zuo Mu thought about it, and was about to ask something more, but Xiao Shui turned his head in front of him, saw the thing in her hand, and immediately shouted excitedly, "Master, Master, I remembered, the thing you held in your hand Is this the mugwort you told me about yesterday?"

Zuo Mu took a low look, and it was true that he had pulled out a mugwort by grabbing it casually just now.

"Ahem, then do you remember the characteristics and medicinal value of mugwort?" Zuo Mu coughed lightly, and immediately showed the majesty of a master to assess.

"Of course I remember." Xiao Shui patted his chest proudly and recited loudly,
"Artemisia argyi, also known as wormwood, is a perennial herb with a strong aroma. The stems are solitary or a few, brown or grayish-brown, and the whole plant can be used as medicine. , relieving cough, preventing miscarriage, anti-allergic, etc. The dried and crushed leaves of mugwort can be used to obtain "moxa", which can be used to make moxa sticks for moxibustion..."

"Well, not bad," Zuo Mu nodded in satisfaction, and then pointed to another plant next to him, "What about this one? Do you know it?"

"Knowledge, this plant is evergreen grass, a subshrub, with a slightly thick stem, bitter, slightly pungent, flat, mainly used for dispelling wind and relieving cough, relaxing tendons and activating collaterals, regulating menstruation and stopping belt. It is used for chronic bronchitis, rheumatoid arthritis, Calf tendons, leucorrhea, amenorrhea, mental illness, restlessness..."

Seeing Xiaoshui reciting aloud, Zuo Mu was very relieved. He couldn't help thinking that when he was a child, he ran around behind his grandfather's butt every day like this, and was tested for various knowledge while walking.

Life is really like a dream. Suddenly, my grandfather passed away, and I came to this other world inexplicably, and even accepted this little apprentice.

Fortunately, although Xiaoshui's talent in medicine is not as good as her own, she did not disappoint Zuo Mu at all. She has so many years of experience in picking herbs with Alai, coupled with her hard work recently, she has mastered a lot of knowledge about herbs It's almost there.

Seeing the little girl's diligent and determined appearance, Zuo Mu is confident: if time is long enough, she can definitely train Xiao Shui to be a qualified doctor.

"Brother Amu, sister Xiaoshui, come back quickly, the ladies are calling you to go home for dinner."

Zuo Mu was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard a calling sound from a distance, when he looked up, it was Hei Wa running over like a gust of wind.

"Brother Heiwa, why are you here?" Xiao Shui asked in surprise when he saw Heiwa.

Hei Wa wiped the sweat from her brow, "Ms. An asked me to call you back to eat."

"Why is it so early today, isn't it still dark?" Xiao Shui looked up at the sunset in the sky and said indifferently.

"You forgot, we have to go to Tianlong Temple to worship Buddha tomorrow, February [-]nd, and we must have an early dinner and rest early tonight." Hei Wa immediately reminded her anxiously.

"Tianlong Temple? Didn't Auntie say a few days ago that everyone won't go to the temple this year?" Xiao Shui was taken aback and blurted out.

"No one else is going, but Mrs. An said a few days ago that brother Amu wants to worship Buddha? Your mother went to our house on purpose yesterday. Please, Mrs. An and me, to accompany Mrs. An and Amu tomorrow Brother, you go together. If not, I'm afraid that the two foreigners will get lost halfway and get lost."

After finishing speaking, Hei Wa gave Xiao Shui a last look, "Of course, if you don't want to go tomorrow, you can just stay at home. A Niang and I can go with Brother A Mu and his wife."

"Who said I won't go, brother Amu is my master now, and of course the disciples must follow the master when he goes to worship Buddha."

As soon as Xiao Shui heard this, he immediately became unwilling, "Hmph, I'll ignore you, I'll go home now, have dinner and go to bed."

In the blink of an eye on the second day, before dawn, Zuo Mu was pulled out of bed by Nanny An, and rushed to Tianlong Temple with Hei Wa, Hei Wa Niang, and Xiao Shui.

Because Zuo Mu was still haunted by nightmares at night and woke up early in the morning, his energy was very low, his complexion was extremely ugly, and there were two big dark circles under his eyes.

However, she was kind enough to accompany her, so of course she couldn't hold back, the few of them traveled over mountains and ridges, hurriedly and slowly, and finally came to the foot of Tianlong Mountain when Grandpa Sun showed a smiling face.

Walking step by step on the mountain climbing path, looking up at the towering Tianlong Temple on the top of the mountain, Zuo Mu suddenly felt a little ridiculous: how come she came to this place again.

In the short half of the time since she came to this different world, counting this time, she has come to Tianlong Temple three times, and each trip to Tianlong Temple before was a big turning point for herself.

The first time was before the big wedding, she was taken captive up the mountain in the middle of the night, and when she went down the mountain, she married into Kang Wang's mansion.

The second time was in autumn, when she accompanied the eldest princess to the mountain, where she was hunted down and met Xue Mu, and not long after returning, she broke with Sima Cheng and left Kangwang's mansion.

This time I came here on my own initiative, and I hope that there will be a big turning point, and I hope that I can find peace in this life in the future.

At worst, I also ask the Buddha to bless and bless me, to help me drive away the nightmare that haunts me every night, so that I can sleep well every night.

Zuo Mu was praying silently in his heart, when he suddenly turned his head, he found that there was no one beside him, "Where is anyone?"

Turning around to look, I saw Mother An and Hei Wa Niang standing on the mountain road anxiously looking around.

"What's the matter? Haven't reached the top of the mountain yet? Why don't you leave?" Zuo Mu asked curiously.

"Xiao Shui is gone!"
