Along the way, Ning Chen talked about interesting things. Not only did Duanmu Rong listen attentively, but Nian Duan also smiled from time to time.
Ning Chen's relationship with the two of them gradually grew closer.
After walking for about an hour, Nian Duan looked ahead and said,"
"We're here."
Ning Chen looked over.
There was a large lake in front of them. The lake was as clear as a mirror, reflecting the blue sky. The lake was sparkling under the sunlight. The reeds by the lake were as beautiful as a painting.
"This is the Mirror Lake? The scenery is indeed beautiful."
Ning Chen praised.
"That's where Master and I live.”The young lady Duanmu Rong pointed. Ning Chen looked in the direction of her finger and saw a few wooden houses by the lake.
"Let's go." Nian Duan said as he walked towards the wooden house.
Ning Chen led the donkey and followed.
When they arrived at the few simple wooden houses, the smell of herbs assaulted their noses. Ning Chen closed his eyes and sniffed. It was not pungent at all, but rather, it was very fragrant.
Duanmu Rong's body had this kind of herbal fragrance.
"I'll go and cook. Rong 'er, you tidy up these herbs. Junior Brother Ning, you can take a look around.”
Nian Duan said as he put down the bamboo basket with herbs on his back. He looked at the two of them and walked into a house.
"Yes." Duanmu Rong listened to her master and immediately began to sort out the herbs in their bamboo baskets.
" Verbena, sheep's hoof root, sanqi grass, western red peony root, winter sunflower seed, autumn red..." Duanmu Rong took out the herbs from the bamboo basket and placed them on the ground as she chanted. She placed the same herbs together and separated the different ones.
" This is..." She looked at the herb in her hand. It was a little unfamiliar, so she couldn't remember it for a moment.
"Arisaema." The young man's clear voice rang in her ears.
"Yes, it's Arisaema."
Duanmu Rong suddenly remembered.
"Eh?" She was shocked and looked up at Ning Chen, who was standing in front of her.""You know medicine too?"
"I know a little." Ning Chen replied with a smile. Then, he bent down and helped her organize the herbs in the other bamboo basket. He read out the names of each herb.
" Cecum Grass, South Porcelain Fruit, Snake Tongue Grass, June Snow, Dongyang Grass, Heartbreak Grass, Thunder Wilfordvine, Herbaceous Grass, Evergreen Grass…"
Duanmu Rong's gaze followed his hand that was fiddling with the herbs, and the surprise in her eyes became more and more intense.
Ning Chen divided the herbs in the bamboo basket and stood up in satisfaction.
"Alright."
Then, he looked at Duanmu Rong, only to find her staring at him.
"Miss Duanmu, why are you looking at me like that? I'll be embarrassed."
Ning Chen rubbed his nose and smiled.
"You remembered all those herbs?”Duanmu Rong stared at him and asked.
"Um…yes."
"How long have you been learning medicine?"
"Um…about a year.”Ning Chen thought for a moment and said. Actually, it had only been half a year since he started learning Green Bag Medicine.
"One…year." Duanmu Rong's expression froze when she heard this.
She had been learning medical skills from her master since she was young. She had memorized medical skills and various medicinal knowledge. It had been seven to eight years now. The knowledge of medicinal herbs and pharmacology was extremely complicated. Sometimes, she would forget the names of the herbs she had memorized in the past. She did not dare to say that she had memorized them all.
A young man who was about the same age as her had only studied medicine for a year, but he had actually memorized the names of so many herbs.
How could this not be a huge blow to her?
"Miss Duanmu, what's wrong?" Ning Chen waved his hand in front of her.
Duanmu Rong came back to her senses and lowered her head to continue sorting the herbs.
"It's nothing."
Her head was lowered, and her bangs hung down, making it impossible to see her expression.
Ning Chen looked at her thoughtfully.
"However, in terms of medical skills, I only remember the names and appearances of those herbs. I don't know anything about their pharmacology.”Ning Chen said as he looked at the herbs on the ground.
Hearing this, Duanmu Rong's hand that was distributing the herbs paused, and her clear eyes lit up.
So it was like this…
"Rong 'er, give me two handfuls of lotus seeds.”
Nian Duan's voice came from a house that was emitting smoke.
"Alright, I'll be right there." Duanmu Rong replied. Just as she was about to get up, she accidentally tripped over the wooden stool under her feet and fell forward.
Seeing that she was about to hit the ground, she couldn't help but close her eyes.
She did fall down, but she didn't feel the pain she had imagined. Instead, she felt soft and hot under her body…
Duanmu Rong opened her eyes and met a pair of clear and smiling eyes. Only then did she realize that her entire body was on Ning Chen's body. Through the silk cloth, she could still feel the warmth of his body.
"Lady Duanmu, are you alright?" Ning Chen smiled as he looked at her eyes that were slowly widening and filled with shyness, and her beautiful face that was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"No, I'm fine." The young girl, Duanmu Rong, got up from his body in a panic. After saying "I'm sorry", she ran out of the house in a panic.
After running out of the house, Duanmu Rong felt her face burning. She didn't need to look to know that it was red. Her heart was still beating fast, and a strange feeling that she had never felt before was rolling in her chest.
"Rong 'er, what's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
"No, it's nothing."
Ning Chen got up from the ground and patted the dust off his body. He listened to the conversation between the master and disciple outside the room and smiled.
