Gourmet Red Chamber: A Chronicle of Baochai's Rebirth

Perhaps the effect of the medicine was getting worse, or maybe Baozhuang's thin embrace was too warm and gave off an inexplicable reassuring smell. Although he was riding a bumpy horse, Xue Baobao slowly fell asleep.

She didn't know how long she slept in a daze. It wasn't until she felt someone carrying her off the horse that she regained some consciousness. Just as she was about to open her eyes, she suddenly realized that the person holding her off the horse seemed to be Baozhuan.

Suddenly I felt a little embarrassed——

Xue Baobao immediately closed his eyes, tried his best to clear his mind, relax his limbs, and pretended that he was not awake at all.

Xue Baobao was afraid that Baozhuang would find out that he was pretending to sleep, so he closed his eyes tightly and his senses became particularly sharp.

She felt Baozhuang carrying her into somewhere, and walked upstairs again.

Baozhuang's arms were very stable and his steps were very steady, without any sign of difficulty.

Xue Baobao silently thought about his current weight. Well, fortunately Baozhuang looks thin, and he is actually quite strong!

Otherwise, he would have to be pushed down by her when he got off the horse, and he would be gasping for breath every step of the way. He couldn't ask a slave to carry him, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Well, I will make more delicious food for the master in the future and feed him to be strong. We must avoid similar things from happening!

After Baozhuang carried Xue Baobao upstairs, he entered the room and gently put her on the bed. He took two steps back and let out a long breath unconsciously, making his hands and feet weak.

Nan Xing said that Sister Xue was as light as a handful of snow on the top of a mountain in the sky.

He was wrong. It was obvious that his sister was like a ball of fire. She held him in his arms and made every part of his body, even the blood under his skin, feel hot. Every inch of his body screamed to stay away, stay away, stay further away. a little.

But, paradoxically, he was reluctant to let go. His hands and feet even had their own consciousness. Against his heart, he hugged her tighter.

He kept convincing himself that it was because his sister was poisoned and the place was dangerous and dirty. He had to take her away immediately. It was forced by the situation...

Well, it's all over.

He carefully held a ball of fire, but he wanted to get closer like a moth to the flame. This was the last resort of this night, and from this moment on it would become a thing of the past.

Baozhuang let out another long breath, and his eyes fell on Xue Baobao's blood-stained sheepskin red boots, with a struggling expression on his face.

After a long while, he didn't step forward to help her take off her boots. He only lifted the quilt, covered her gently, clasped his hands and bowed to her, turned around and left quickly.

He obviously hadn't slept all night, and he had experienced such a thrilling interception and counter-attack, followed by a long-distance horseback ride, but he didn't feel sleepy at all. There was something in his heart that was restless and clamoring, as if he would break apart at any time. And out.

This was a restlessness and depression that he had never experienced in his short life of more than ten years. He didn't know what it was, but he was instinctively afraid of that emotion.

He couldn't let this emotion get more intense and finally control himself!

Master has said that a calm mind is the way to maintain health and nourish the mind.

Master also said that you must find a way to vent your bad emotions. If you are unhappy, just eliminate the source of your unhappiness.

Don't suppress it and let your emotions damage your body and your Buddha mind.

He had been away from the crowd since he was a child, and he saw either a room full of respectful and trembling slaves, or the endless mountains of Shennong Mountain.

Apart from being seriously ill and uncomfortable, he rarely had any emotional ups and downs.

When he was a little older, he understood that when he was seriously ill, no matter how uncomfortable he was, no matter how many medicine bowls he broke, no matter how he punished the slaves who cooked, cut off, or even poured medicine for him, his pain was still there. It won't be reduced by half a point.

As a result, even his emotional ups and downs slowly calmed down.

The fact that cannot be changed, so what if he is unhappy?

He didn't know that the facts he thought could not be changed would be completely changed because of an orange brought back by Sun Xiaosheng.

The oranges brought back by Sun Xiaosheng can be peeled and eaten directly like oranges. There is no need to cut them with a knife until the juice flows out. They are even more fragrant and juicy when eaten, and the flesh is tender and sweet.

It's delicious!

Is there such delicious food outside Shennong Mountain?

His group of obedient but extremely principled minions on certain issues were probably afraid that he would hurt his spleen and stomach, so they never dared to let him know that there was such delicious food in the world.

Even if you don’t ask him to eat, he insists on eating!

So what if he controls his appetite?

Will his illness be cured?

He ate a whole orange willfully. At Meishou Villa, his group of good slaves only dared to give him steamed oranges, roasted oranges, or boiled orange juice, and they never dared to ask him for more. eat.

After eating a whole orange, he suddenly felt a little happy and satisfied, a little like the feeling he felt every time he found an interesting and rare poisonous weed.

It turns out that eating delicious food is like this, a feeling of satisfaction and joy!

He thought with an expressionless face, he liked to laugh when there were people around.

Although he himself didn't know why he was smiling, maybe it was like what the master said. He was born with Buddha nature and sympathized with the world. His smile was kind to others and was pleasing to the Buddha.

He scoffed at the idea and was a little disgusted.

So when he was alone, he had a cold face, as if he had a deep hatred for the whole world.

No, it should be said that the whole world has a deep hatred for him. Otherwise, why would he be imprisoned in this deep mountain and old forest right after he was born, and still have to suffer the pain of whether to die or live?

He thought with an expressionless face, quietly waiting for the overwhelming pain in his stomach and intestines.

He waited for a long time, but he didn't wait.

He was a little strange, but more indifferent, it was just an accident.

His short 17-year life and the never-ending pain that plagued him had long ago taught him to no longer expect or hope, let alone hope for miracles.

However, being idle is also idle. He should go and meet the person who brought such delicious oranges and was willing to give two to Sun Xiaosheng.

Well, based on his understanding of Sun Xiaosheng, the man had to give it at least two before it would be willing to leave one to him.

However, there is actually nothing to look forward to. He is probably here to find Mr. Yu who is annoying to look at.

As for why Master Yu is so disgusting just looking at him?

The little monk Baozhuang said that there are too few people who are not annoying to look at. At least until now, he has never seen one, and they are not as pleasing to the eye as monkeys!

Then, off guard, he saw the first person he liked.

It was a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, white and soft, who seemed to glow when she smiled, like his favorite night pearl when he was a child.

Once, when he was little, he was placed on the bed by his slaves, who told him to sleep well and it would stop hurting when he fell asleep. They also told him to sleep more so that his illness would heal quickly.

Then they would blow out the lights and quietly retreat outside to keep watch, leaving him in the darkness.

Liar!

Even if he fell asleep, he would still feel pain, and even if he got enough sleep, his illness would still not be cured.

He has known this since he was a child, but he will not waste his efforts arguing with them. So what if he wins?

He would still feel pain, discomfort, and excruciating pain, but there was nothing they could do.

<divclass="contentadv">The pain and unspeakable discomfort plagued him like gangrene on his bones. He couldn't sleep at all, so he took out the night pearl hidden in the palm of his hand to play with it.

The night pearl emits a bright and warm light in the darkness, but the light is not bright enough for the slaves on guard to notice and stop it.

In fact, looking back now, he was quite boring when he was a child.

It's just such a luminous pearl, just throwing it from left hand to right hand, from right hand to left hand, or from left hand to left hand, from right hand to right hand. He has been playing with it for so long and never thought of changing it. Fun.

It's a pity that the bead was discovered by his cousin who was not yet the queen at that time when she came to accompany him, and she took it away resolutely.

She told him not to be playful and to sleep well so that he could recover quickly.

She also promised him that when he recovered, she would return the beads to him and give him a bunch of extra luminous beads, all of which were the best and brightest in Daxiao.

Later, when he recovered from his illness and returned to Beijing, her cousin had become the queen, but she had forgotten her original promise. Not only did she not give him an extra night pearl, she didn't even return the original one to him.

He thought that maybe he gave it to the prince to make up for his shortfall.

After all, the Great Emperor of the Great Xiao Dynasty loved great achievements and luxury, but he lived an extremely long time. The treasury of the Great Xiao Dynasty had long been severely depleted.

The rumors that the current Emperor of the Xiao Dynasty was short of money and the prince was even more short of money were no longer a secret among the noble class of the Xiao Dynasty.

However, this was all a thing for another day, and at that time, when he looked at the girl shining brightly like a night pearl in the distance, a strange emotion suddenly surged in his heart.

He didn't know what that emotion was called, but he instinctively followed the surge of emotion and walked towards the girl.

At that time, he didn't know that the emotion surging in his heart was called love, nor did he know that just a few steps towards her would bring him into a brand new world where there was no more pain.

Later, he followed her step by step into the new world that made him happy.

Later, he learned that that kind of emotion was called liking, and that joyful liking gradually deepened as time went by, to the point where he instinctively hated everyone who came close to her and stole her attention.

Of course, Yu Xin, who was closest to her, occupied most of her attention, and always alienated them, would definitely occupy the top spot among the people he hated the most!

He knew very well that her love for him was not as deep and unique as his love for her. She liked too many people, such as Yu Xin, Lin Daiyu, Mrs. Xue, Xue Pan, Zhen Yinglian...

Therefore, he was cautious and step-by-step, trying to win her likes, her closeness, and her trust.

He succeeded, and he became her adopted brother. After experiencing a catastrophe, she would say to him, "Thank you for coming," and she would obediently lean into his arms and sleep peacefully...

He succeeded!

He won her love, her closeness, and her trust!

But he panicked again. He knew that something beyond his control was sprouting in his heart, and one day it would grow into a towering tree.

He didn't know what it was. He was panicking, but also vaguely expecting her. It was like she was in a trance when he first saw her, and the surging emotions in his heart began to push him forward again.

However, when he first saw her, although he didn't know what would happen after walking towards her, he was fearless and even senseless in his heart.

But now, he is beginning to be afraid. It is not easy for him to get to where he is today with Sister Xue. He is very happy and satisfied. He does not need a change that is not clear whether it is good or bad...

……

……

Baodang, who had been copying the "Pure Heart Mantra" all night, immediately put down his pen and walked out when he heard the door open next door. He happened to bump into Xue Baobao, who looked haggard and had bruises under his eyes.

Baozhuang frowned, "Sister, this is——"

Xue Baobao rubbed his face and smiled bitterly, "I woke up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep."

In fact, I was frightened awake by the nightmare, and then I didn’t dare to sleep.

Baozhuang said nothing and reached out to hold Xue Baobao's wrist.

Xue Baobao was startled and was about to break away when he saw Baozhuang closing his eyes and softly reciting, "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva..."

Xue Baobao, "..."

okay~

Maybe Lord Buddha really has boundless power. After reciting a long scripture, Xue Baobao's heart that had been holding it for no reason slowly dropped, and he said lightly, "I checked my pulse. Apart from being weaker, there was nothing strange about it." No, how did you do it?"

Baozhuang smiled slightly, "It's not that you don't like those poisonous weeds and poisonous insects, so I won't tell you."

Lest my sister think that he is dark and sinister, she might be afraid of him if she is with those poisonous insects and weeds every day.

"Who said I don't like it?"

Baozhuang continued to smile, "When you saw Snake Mint for the first time, your face turned pale with fright."

Maybe you are still calling me crazy in your mind.

The current Xue Baobao is naturally not the poor little one who was cautious when he first entered Meishou Villa, for fear of offending the great god in front of him. He said carelessly, "That's because he's afraid of living. If he dies, it's already made into medicine. What's the matter?" So scared?

If I hadn't been afraid that Master you would not teach me your unique secret skills, I would have been crying and asking to be your master, begging you to teach me the skill of preparing poison."

Baozhuang was suspicious, "What do you want to learn?"

You are not afraid?

Don't you think it's dirty, treacherous and sinister?

Xue Baobao was confused, "Why don't you want to learn?"

The legendary poison technique. I wonder which pharmaceutical research monk doesn’t want to learn it?

The smile on Baozhuang's lips froze slightly, and then he smiled with relief, Sister Xue was indeed Sister Xue, she would always please him so!

"Okay, I'll teach you when I get back to Beijing. It's actually not that difficult. It's much easier to prepare than your penicillin."

"That's for sure!"

Xue Baobao's little thought that he had been secretly thinking about for many years was finally realized. He excitedly stretched out his hand towards Baozhuang and looked at him with shining eyes.

Baozhuang felt that not only her round, almond-shaped eyes, but her whole body seemed to be glowing. It took him a moment to realize that she was probably going to high-five him.

So, the little monk slowly stretched out his hand, and just as he was about to touch her palm, Xue Baobao clapped his hand excitedly.

Crisp applause rang out, followed by her laughter, "That's what we agreed to, we won't be reluctant, let alone cheating!"

Baozhuang retracted his hand and put it into his sleeve. He held it unconsciously and gently pressed his fingertips against his palm. The place where Sister Xue's hand had just touched was inexplicably hot.

The article is coming to an end. The updates may be a little unstable these days. Thank you for your companionship and support, little cuties~
