Chapter 30 The Flower of Forgetfulness
Chapter 30 The Flower of Forgetfulness
After waiting for about a month and a half, according to Wu You's time calculation, Bei Yi finally delivered the Forget-River Flower to Wu You.
Bei Yi placed the box containing the Forget-River Flower on Wu You's desk, opened the lid, and reported, "Master, Bei Yi has fulfilled his mission and brought back the Forget-River Flower. All the brothers Chunlu and Qiushuang who were brought with me are still here, but three brothers were poisoned by the forest's miasma, and they have now awakened."
The Forget-Me-Not flower in the box has one stem and two blossoms, one a yin flower and the other a yang flower. One blossom is as red as blood, extremely alluring, while the other is as pure white as snow, clean and pure. The two blossoms placed together are like winter plum blossoms in the snow, complementing each other, yet each beautiful in its own way.
Looking at the Forget-Me-Not Flower in front of him, Wu You was very excited. This was something that had been searched for for dozens of episodes over ten years in the original Lotus Pavilion. In the end, it was a great pity that it didn't end up in Li Lianhua's mouth.
Now that his own people have found it, he has to find a way to force it into Li Lianhua's mouth, even if it means forcing it in, so that it won't be left outside and give others a chance.
"You've all had a tough time on this mission. Go back and ask Chunlu and Qiushuang for some silver, and get some rest. Those who have been infected with the miasma, remember to find a doctor to treat them properly, so there won't be any aftereffects. I'll contact Nanfeng if I need anything. You can go now." Wu You dismissed Bei Yi, who had come to deliver the Forget-River Flowers.
"Serving my master is no trouble at all. I will take my leave now." Bei Yi bowed and walked towards the door.
After Bei Yi stepped out the door, Wu You couldn't wait a quarter of an hour any longer. She wanted to get her brother to make the antidote as soon as possible. She put all the precious medicines that Chunlu Qiushuang had sent, such as the century-old ginseng, Tianshan snow lotus, and wild Ganoderma lucidum, on the table along with the Wangchuan flower.
He then closed the door, grabbed a few boxes of medicine, and flashed into the old house.
Wu You placed the box on the coffee table, took out her phone, and first sent a message to her brother: 'Hey bro, are you there? I need to call you.'
Then he opened the box, revealing the medicinal herbs inside. He then took out a Polaroid camera and snapped photos of the herbs, especially the Forget-Me-Not flower, taking several pictures from different angles.
Just after the photo was taken, Wu You's phone rang. She picked it up and saw a message from her brother.
"Yes, yes, what's up?"
"The missing ingredient I mentioned before has been found, and I'm sending it to you now."
"Is this the antidote for the poison of the green tea? Didn't you say it would take more than a month? How come you found it now? Send it to me. I have some free time today, so I'll go see Academician Su right away."
"It's been over a month here, but only a few days over there, so you can't really tell. Also, I have a lot of tonics here. Brother, if it's convenient for you, could you help me prepare some health-preserving pills or something? Just make sure they don't taste too bitter."
"Okay, okay, send it over too. I really don't know why you care so much about an outsider, even about their tastes. I've never received this kind of treatment." Wu Lü teased his younger sister on the other end of the phone.
"Pah, pah, pah, brother, what are you saying? I don't want anything to happen to you. You're my own brother, if I don't care about you, who else should I care about? We just happened to run into each other, there's nothing else going on." Wu You quickly comforted her brother.
Wu You closed the medicine boxes, opened WeChat, used the scan function in the upper right corner, and pointed it at the medicine boxes on the table. In less than three seconds, the medicine boxes on the table disappeared instantly.
"Brother, I've sent you the medicinal herbs. There's only one Forget-Me-Not Flower here, so use it with caution."
"I understand. I've received the supplies, and the antidote will be ready soon. Don't worry. I know you've had a hard time finding the medicine, but I'll have people make sure nothing is wasted."
"I'm not in a hurry, and I trust Academician Su. He successfully produced it once before based solely on blood analysis."
"Okay, be careful over there. I won't talk to you anymore. I'll take the medicinal herbs to Academician Su now."
'Okay, brother, please be careful too.'
Okay, sure.
Staring at her phone with the screen off, Wu You didn't know whether to be happy, excited, or nervous. But with the day Li Lianhua was cured of the poison drawing ever closer, it was still good news, and she needed to share it with someone immediately.
Wu Youxing rushed out of the room and saw Li Lianhua dozing off on a swing under the shade of a tree.
The words that were about to come out were swallowed back down.
Wu You tiptoed up to Li Lianhua and stared at the picture of the sleeping beauty, feeling a sense of wonder.
The first time I saw him, he was covered in wounds, his face was stained with blood, and he was unconscious. Now, almost a year has passed since we met, and although his face is still the same, his demeanor is completely different.
She's sleeping in the courtyard now, I don't know if it's because she's too confident in herself, or because she trusts Wu You so much, or...
Wu You not only couldn't tell Li Lianhua his true origins, but he also hadn't told him that he knew he was Li Xiangyi; Li Lianhua himself also didn't say much truth about himself, so the two of them probably weren't even living together now.
Wu You shook her head, clearing her mind of the jumbled thoughts. She quietly took out her phone, leaned close to Li Lianhua, and stealthily snapped a photo of the two of them together. After taking the picture, Wu You quickly put her phone away.
As soon as she turned around, she saw that Li Lianhua had already opened her eyes and was looking at her. Wu You couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "You're awake. How come you fell asleep in the yard? Be careful not to catch a cold."
"I accidentally fell asleep while reading. In this weather, at midday, I can't afford to catch a cold." Li Lianhua took out the book that was covered by the hem of her clothes on the swing.
"You should still be careful, you need to take better care of your health."
"Okay, I understand. Did you come here for something, Youyou? You're usually resting in your room at this time." Li Lianhua was a little puzzled to see Wu You running out at this hour.
"Oh, right, I have some news to tell you. The missing ingredient I mentioned before has been found and sent to be refined into a high-quality medicine. It should have a 70-80% chance of curing your illness." Wu You quickly shared the good news with Li Lianhua.
"Oh, is that so? When shall we set off?" Li Lianhua's face showed no joy whatsoever, her eyes fixed on the medical text.
"Set off? Where to?" Wu You asked, looking puzzled.
"Of course it's the old Chinese medicine doctor's house you mentioned. We can't just send him all the way here. We'll have to go from our side. Besides, with Lotus Pavilion, the journey over several days won't be too arduous."
Li Lianhua turned her head, looked at Wu You, scanned Wu You with her eyes, and revealed an expression that said, "How could you be such a person?"
Although Li Lianhua was not enthusiastic about this matter, she wanted Wu You to settle down as soon as possible and not waste any more time or energy on it.
