I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Pei Xiang resealed the two pairs of golden silkworm Gu, put them away, and then got up and went to the kitchen.

Half an hour later, a strong fresh fragrance drifted into Hu Qingniu's nose, making him swallow quietly.

"Qingyang, did you make chicken soup?" Hu Qingniu put down the prescription that he had revised repeatedly, and walked to the kitchen door.

"Brother, don't come in yet, just stand at the door, yes, you can smell it again, what medicinal ingredients did I add to this soup?"

Hu Qingniu closed his eyes slightly, and sniffed vigorously in the direction of the food aroma...

Then, there was a series of gurgling sounds in my stomach.

Pei Xiang chuckled, and no longer let his eldest brother guess the questions on a hungry stomach.She directed Hu Qingniu to help her bring the hot meals out of the kitchen and put them on the stone table in the yard.

The two brothers and sisters sat opposite each other, quietly eating a delicious meal.

After the meal, Hu Qingniu took a walk in the courtyard to digest his food, and began to ponder in his mind how to detoxify the golden silkworm poison.Pei Xiang was also seriously thinking about the characteristics of Gu poison and the things that generate and restrain each other. The two exchanged a few words occasionally, and then went to the east room to feel the pulse of the poisoned person, and then adjusted the treatment plan according to the slight changes in the pulse.

Until the climax of the moon, the two doctors in this courtyard were still concentrating on researching the method of detoxification, and neither of them planned to go to sleep and rest.

It can be seen from this that even though Pei Xiang "blamed" Hu Qingniu for forgetting to eat and sleep when he was treating illnesses and saving lives, and regardless of her health, she herself was not much better.When encountering difficult and miscellaneous diseases and strange poisonous and strange diseases, she is also focused and obsessed.Just like a drunkard smells good wine, and a glutton coincides with delicious food, where can he bear it and keep calm and restraint?

This is also one of the reasons why Pei Xiang agreed with Hu Qingniu to do his best to treat Xian Yutong. After all, golden silkworm Gu poison is rare, and those who survived poisoning are even rarer.To catch one, of course you have to study thoroughly.

Three days later, both brothers and sisters of the Hu family sat in front of the sickbed, staring at the poisoned person without blinking, with restrained excitement and eagerness on their faces, as if a sculptor was gazing at the most outstanding work.

Xian Yutong slowly opened his eyes, and before he could appreciate the ease and joy of escaping from death, two small cheers came from his ears.

"Brother, he's awake!"

——It shows that our plan is correct.

"Yes, the patient's Gu poison has been pulled out."

—Finally found a way to detoxify.

The weak Xian Yutong smiled gratefully at the Hu brothers and sisters.He recalled the intermittent conversations he heard when he was poisoned, and he knew that the young brother and sister who had just come out of the rivers and lakes had a good heart and superb medical skills, and they were worth making friends with.

By the time Xianyutong was able to walk on the ground, he had already found out some information from Hu Qingniu.

The parents of the brothers and sisters of the Hu family died young, and the two brothers and sisters depended on each other for life since they were young. Later, they joined a little-known sect and became people in the Jianghu.

Xian Yutong tested Hu Qingniu's skills and found that his martial arts were mediocre, but he had acquired good medical skills.

For the savior who did not have a deep background and martial arts talent, Shao Yutong subconsciously underestimated him a bit.

Of course, with Shao Yutong's scheming and hypocrisy, Hu Qingniu couldn't feel this contempt.

Pei Xiang silently watched the two brothers who were called brothers, feeling a little curious in his heart.

——I don’t know if I’m Hu Qingyang this time, if Hu Qingniu will have the idea of ​​betrotting his younger sister to his “good brother” Xian Yutong.

Speaking of which, when Pei Xiang transmigrated into Hu Qingyang, the original body had just passed her fifth birthday, and because of the negligence of the caretaker, the little girl accidentally fell into the water and died.

At that time, Pei Xiang choked as soon as he opened his eyes, and the cold lake water poured in from all directions, and the jacket and skirt on his body were extremely heavy, and he was about to sink to the bottom of the lake.

At the critical moment, Pei Xiang didn't care whether the five-year-old Yuan could swim or not. She tried her best to save herself and swam to the shore.Just before she was exhausted, a passerby who knew how to swim finally reacted, jumped into the water with a plop and rescued her ashore.

Afterwards, Pei Xiang, recovering from his illness, learned from the few words of the visitor that Yuanchen's father was seriously ill in bed. After hearing that his daughter had suffered an accident of falling into the water, he was shocked, angry and worried. His condition worsened again. Few days.

Before Hu's father died, he entrusted his nine-year-old eldest son to his old friend, who is the current master of Pei Xiang and Hu Qingniu, and asked his eldest son to take good care of his younger sister and find a good husband for her in the future.

Hu Qingniu always remembered his father's exhortations before he died. From the time when Pei Xiang and Ji were young, he began to observe the young men who were close to Pei Xiang.But after looking around, he didn't find a satisfactory one.

Especially when his younger sister became more and more beautiful, her force value increased, and her temper became more willful, he felt that those crooked things surrounding her were not a good match at all.

He picked and picked, and a few years passed by in a flash. One day, Hu Qingniu suddenly realized that her sister was already 20 years old.

Although chivalrous women generally married later, Hu Qingniu was still a little anxious. At this time, Xian Yutong appeared.

Xian Yutong is a core disciple of the Huashan School. He is handsome, eloquent, and knowledgeable. In Hu Qingniu's opinion, he is definitely a good candidate for his brother-in-law.

Most importantly, their brother and sister are Xian Yutong's saviors.

The upright disciples of famous families have always cherished their reputation and valued kindness and righteousness. With this life-saving origin and his sister's beauty and intelligence, Hu Qingniu didn't believe that Xian Yutong would treat his sister badly.

Therefore, Pei Xiang had just finished thinking about whether Hu Qingniu had any plans to be a matchmaker during the day, and was tempted by him at night.

"Brother, do you think Xianyu Shaoxia is a good match?"

"Brother Xianyu is witty and generous, both civil and military. Compared with the young people we met before, Brother Xianyu is especially outstanding. What's more, I think he seems to be interested in you. When the two of us were talking and drinking together these days, He's always asking me about you in an insinuating way."

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows: "Inquire about me? What did you tell him?"

"This... Qingyang, I said that you are gentle and virtuous, beautiful and intelligent, like medicine and gardening, and also play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. That, that, I didn't tell him, that, you can single out all the male disciples of our sect And master, uncle, uncle, this, this, I think, um, it will be better to talk about it later."

"Why is this?" Pei Xiang pretended to be puzzled: "Xianyu Shaoxia is a disciple of the Huashan School, and among the people who interact with each other on weekdays, there must be many chivalrous women from famous schools. Their strength is not weak, and Xianyu Shaoxia Maybe you will appreciate girls with high martial arts more."

Hu Qingniu was a little proud: "I tested Brother Xianyu, and he told me that he hoped to marry a gentle and beautiful wife. He doesn't like someone who is too strong. It is said that the daughter of the head of their Huashan sect is very capricious and savage. , Brother Xianyu was deeply disturbed. After he got drunk, he kept dragging me to complain."

Pei Xiang thought to himself, now that he is pulling you to complain with the help of wine, he will happily marry the head daughter in the future.

"Brother, you are not being kind. Shaoxia Shaoyu regards you as a good brother, but you are suspected of cheating on marriage."

Hu Qingniu shook his head again and again, he didn't think he was kidding his brother, but he didn't continue the previous topic with his sister, turned his eyes and asked directly:

"Qingyang, we brothers and sisters have talked so much, but you haven't told me yet, what do you think of being younger than brothers?"

Pei Xiang directly extinguished Hu Qingniu's idea of ​​being a matchmaker, and said frankly:

"I don't think so. Brother, I don't have extra thoughts on Xian Yutong, and I also hate him a little bit, so don't mess with the couple."

Hu Qingniu asked strangely: "Hate him? Don't young heroes like Brother Xianyu let you catch your eye? Qingyang, you don't plan to never get married, do you? Also, why do you hate Brother Xianyu?"

Pei Xiang poured Hu Qingniu a glass of water, sat down and said slowly:

"We don't know how he was poisoned by the golden silkworm poison. But in the land of Miaojiang, most of the people who are good at raising Gu are Miao girls. Miao girls are infatuated, and they often use the poison to avenge evildoers. Brother, what if that Xian Yutong is poisoned? The reason is that he is unlucky?"

"This... Xian Yutong is a chivalrous man of the righteous way. He only wants to be ashamed of his actions. How can he do things like chaotic to women? It is entirely possible that the poison of the golden silkworm, Qingyang, was caused by other reasons."

Pei Xiang glanced at Hu Qingniu with a half-smile, and put his chin on one hand and let out a soft snort:

"I just knew, oh, you don't believe the reason I said, but so what? I'm not allowed to hate a person? Brother, I saved him instead of him. I don't owe him any kindness, So, if you don't like it, you don't like it, and I'm happy."

This made Hu Qingniu dumbfounded, but deep in his heart he felt that what his sister said was quite right.

——There are many unreasonable things in this world, and hating a man is not a big deal.

——Anyway, my sister didn't kill people just because she was bored with Xian Yutong, and she treated each other with courtesy every day with a smile on her face.

——Eh, thinking about it this way, Qingyang is not easy, alas, my sister is indeed a gentle girl.

Pei Xiang watched his brother's rich expressions change, and pursed his lips for joy.

"Brother, let's make a bet. If I lose, how about I give you the "Miscellaneous Theory of the Four Qi Meridians and Meridians" that Master gave me?"

Hu Qingniu's eyes were shining, and he was about to agree to the gamble almost immediately.However, years of failure experience told him that he must be cautious when betting with Pei Xiang.

"What do you want to bet? Tell me first."

"I bet... this Xian Yutong has flaws in his character. Most of his golden silkworm poisoning is related to Miao girl, and he doesn't really appreciate our life-saving grace."

Hu Qingniu sat up straight all of a sudden, and his face became serious:

"Qingyang, do you know something inside that I don't?"

Pei Xiang didn't answer Hu Qingniu's question, but just asked him:

"Will you bet or not? If I win, you don't want to talk about my marriage anymore. When I want to marry, I will naturally find a good man. If I don't marry for the rest of my life, you are not allowed to nag me."

"I don't gamble." Hu Qingniu said firmly.

"Really don't gamble?"

Pei Xiang opened his eyes wide in surprise, and looked at Hu Qingniu curiously:

"Are you afraid of losing the bet? Brother, you don't believe in the brother you have made friends with sincerity. Didn't you clamor before that you want to marry Jinlan?"

Hu Qingniu murmured in his heart: "Even if I am optimistic about Xian Yutong again, after learning about your attitude towards him, I have to be cautious. I am not stupid. I have watched you successfully cheat one after another over the years. Is it true Are you just watching in vain?"

Seeing Hu Qingniu's firm attitude, Pei Xiang sighed with some regret.

This sigh made Hu Qingniu more certain that Pei Xiang must know something bad about Xian Yutong.

"Qingyang, I'm a little sad," Hu Qingniu clutched his chest pretending to be heavy, "Since you know that Xian Yutong is not as glamorous and chivalrous as he appears on the surface, why didn't you remind me earlier? You kept looking at me and The one who is rarely known as brothers, talks and laughs happily."

"I don't have any evidence, bro, will you believe me when I tell you?" Pei Xiang's eyes were burning.

The future Mingjiao doctor is not a person who follows the rules in his bones. He raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said generously:

"I don't believe my own sister. Do I believe other people's nonsense? What if there is no evidence? If you say that there is something wrong with Xian Yutong, then there must be something wrong with him."

As soon as he said this, Pei Xiang immediately felt that his brother was much handsomer.

——Even though his vision for choosing a brother-in-law is not very good, his attitude of "correcting if you know your mistakes" is still very commendable.

But... Pei Xianghu questioned: "Brother, your attitude has changed too quickly. Before, you also regarded the Huashan faction's young hero as your prospective brother-in-law. Why did you believe me in a few words? Don't take brother-sister relationship Fool me deeply, we have played down each other a lot before."

Hu Qingniu knew that lies cannot deceive his sister, so he said calmly:

"If you didn't talk about betting, I wouldn't change my attitude so quickly. It's really... hey, Brother Wei has witnessed too many regrets after betting with you from fellow apprentices over the years. Lose less, so, girl, a Xian Yutong is not worth my bet."

Pei Xiang rolled his eyes at his elder brother: "This time the bet is different from the past. I don't want to win your precious medicinal materials and medical books. Why are you so vigilant?"

"You don't need to persuade me anymore," Hu Qingniu waved his hand, "Qingyang, let me tell you, I will definitely not give up the right to choose my brother-in-law. Even if you suddenly bring a thief to me in the future, it must be passed My test."

Pei Xiang squinted at Hu Qingniu: "Your test? Can you find someone like Xian Yutong?"

Hu Qingniu's smile faltered slightly, he changed his mind and asked puzzledly:

"Qingyang, since you don't like Xian Yutong, why are you trying your best to treat him?"

Pei Xiang shook his head: "I'm not here to save him, I'm here to study the solution to the golden silkworm poison. Besides, I haven't seen Xian Yutong before, so I'm worried that if I identify the wrong person—even if that possibility is extremely small, depending on the In vain wasted the treatment time of innocent people."

Hu Qingniu nodded slightly, agreeing with Pei Xiang's choice.

"Indeed, doctors are benevolent. Healing the sick comes first, and it's not too late to talk about other things after the person recovers. What's more, Xian Yutong never offended our brothers and sisters before."

The two brothers and sisters talked for a while, mainly talking about the unique herbs in Miaojiang.

As we talked, the night grew darker.

The evening wind whimpered and blew the doors and windows, and Hu Qingniu woke up from his contemplation. He glanced at the time and found that it was getting late.

"Qingyang, then I'm going back, you should rest earlier, don't stay up late to read medical scriptures, of course, the scriptures don't work either."

"I know, you too, brother."

After Hu Qingniu left, Pei Xiang sat alone under the lamp and recalled the conversation just now, and couldn't help but frown.

She was really worried that Hu Qingniu would get confused on the issue of Xian Yutong before, but she didn't expect her brother to be so defensive and eccentric.

——Although a large part of the reason is the fear of losing...

——Since this is the case, don't leave this Xian Yutong here, let him go wherever he came from.

Pei Xiang had a plan in mind, so he took out the pouch that he had torn from Xian Yutong before, and took out the special jade box inside with ice silk gloves.

Inside the jade box, two pairs of chubby golden silkworm Gu are sleeping, they look quite cute.But it is such a lovely thing that can be made into a colorless, odorless and highly poisonous substance.

After Xian Yutong woke up, he searched everywhere for this pair of golden silkworm Gu, and also asked the Hu brothers and sisters if they had seen his purse.

Hu Qingniu had always only cared about the patient's injuries, and didn't pay much attention to those foreign objects. Coupled with Pei Xiang's guidance and hints, he suddenly couldn't remember whether he had seen Xian Yutong's purse.

And Pei Xiang also said that she hadn't noticed, and personally accompanied Xian Yutong to search around the house and the village, including the haystack that Hu Qingniu picked up near Xian Yutong's haystack.

Naturally, the result of the search was nothing. Xian Yutong had suspected the Hu brothers and sisters, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible.

For one thing, he remained conscious after being poisoned. During the period when the Hu brothers and sisters treated him, they never took the purse from him.Secondly, if the brothers and sisters of the Hu family want to covet his things, why bother to save him, just let him fend for himself.

Therefore, Xian Yutong thought about it, and finally decided that the purse should have been left somewhere.

He already had symptoms of poisoning when he ran away, and most of his attention was on resisting the pain caused by the golden silkworm poison, so it was easy to ignore the things that fell on him.

Pei Xiang didn't really care if Xian Yutong doubted her and Hu Qingniu, because this person's kung fu was not as good as hers.

——In this arena, in the final analysis, the hard fist is the truth.

At this moment, Pei Xiang opened the jade box again, and ignited the red xylorrhizae that can awaken the golden silkworm Gu.Afterwards, she watched curiously as the Golden Silkworm Gu slowly came to life and squirmed back and forth in the special jade box.

——The golden silkworm Gu has awakened, and the Miao girl who raised them will naturally feel it.

Half an hour later, Pei Xiang waved away the smell of red xylothecia, closed the jade box again, and sealed it tightly again.

Early the next morning, Pei Xiang was going to the mountains to collect herbs, and Xian Yutong came over graciously, saying that he also wanted to go around the nearby mountains, hoping to go on the same journey with Miss Hu.

Before Pei Xiang declined, Hu Qingniu quickly grabbed Xian Yutong, saying that he needed his help with something, and by the way, blocked Xian Yutong's view of Pei Xiang.

Xian Yutong naturally felt Hu Qingniu's deliberate defense.He smiled for a while, then nodded as if nothing had happened, and followed Hu Qingniu's strength to move away from Pei Xiang.

He thought, this is probably the woman's reserve.I heard that the customs in some places are very particular. Engaged men and women cannot meet before they get married. The hometown of the Hu brothers and sisters may have a similar tradition.

Xian Yutong never thought that Pei Xiang would look down on him.

Pei Xiang shook his hand at Hu Qingniu, then turned and went up the mountain.

Walking on the rugged mountain road, Pei Xiang focused on finding medicinal materials.

Suddenly, a cold wind came from behind, and attacks followed one after another.Seeing that the unaware herb picker was about to suffer, the sneak attacking palm suddenly turned abruptly and hit the big tree beside Pei Xiang.

This palm was ruthless and decisive, and it hit the thick trunk, causing the crown of the whole tree to shake, and the branches and leaves fell one after another.

However, just before the first leaf fell on Pei Xiang's head, the herb picker, who was indifferent to the danger just now, suddenly moved, his figure was like clouds and fog, and he moved delicately with a few unhurried steps, and he had already left Areas where foliage falls.

"You lied to me!"

A tender cry sounded from behind Pei Xiang.

When Pei Xiang turned around, he saw a pretty Miao girl pinching her waist and glaring at her angrily. The silver tassels around her ears swayed slightly with the master's breathing, adding a bit of coquettish charm.
