The legend of Dukang

"Jieyou, Yunheng, Mr. Du, can you hurry up, we are almost there." Wen Ruyu waved to the three who were behind.

Du Shaokang asked with a smile: "Ruyu, where are you taking us? We are in such a hurry!"

Fang Yunheng said nonchalantly beside him: "Isn't it because I am in a hurry to reincarnate!"

Wen Ruyu rolled his eyes at him angrily: "What a crow's mouth, there are so many things going on recently, you can't pick up something nice to say, no wonder you have been poisoned and can't wake up."

Fang Yunheng's face turned blue, before he could say anything, Jieyou interrupted them coldly: "Junheng's clothes are torn, let's find a place to buy one."

Wen Ruyu looked down, and really saw a big hole in Fang Yunheng's sleeve, and thought: Why is he so unlucky.

A few people looked around, and there was no one in the wilderness around them.

Wen Ruyu couldn't help but tremble, didn't you remember how quiet this place was just now?When did you come here?Wen Ruyu looked at the three people in front of her, and always felt an indescribable weirdness, as if she had forgotten something important.

Before he could figure it out, he saw Du Shaokang pointing to the front and said: "There is an old woman over there, let's ask her if she has any needles and threads, let her help me sew it."

Fang Yunheng's face was blue, one hundred unwilling, and he kept muttering: "How can I wear patched clothes."

Wen Ruyu teased him with a smile: "Master, you look at the wilderness, it would be nice if someone can mend your clothes."

Jie You took Fang Yunheng to the old woman and asked her for needles and threads.

The old woman kept her head down, unable to see what she looked like, only the silver hair on the top of her head was meticulously combed into a flower-shaped bun. This shape was so familiar that Wen Ruyu couldn't remember where she had seen it before.

The old woman took out the thread tremblingly, her hands were rough, like dry bark, Wen Ruyu couldn't help frowning.

While looking for the needle, the old woman muttered: "Hey, what a poor child, so young, and the clothes he liked the most when he was alive were torn after death."

Wen Ruyu was dewy when she heard this, and hurriedly asked: "Grandma, are you confused! What after death? We are living people!"

The old lady still didn't raise her head, she just laughed sinisterly, her voice sounded very strange: "Young man, this is the underworld, your souls have been hooked, don't you know?" Raising his hand tremblingly, he pointed at Fang Yunheng.

Wen Ruyu looked at Fang Yunheng, and her heart tightened immediately!He remembered, wasn't Yunheng poisoned and unconscious?

I saw Fang Yunheng's face turned blue, his eyes were dull, his whole body seemed to be frozen in ice, and his whole body was covered with cold air.It looked like a frozen jade figure slowly sliding into a pool of stagnant water.

Wen Ruyu turned pale with shock, and rushed over to catch him, but in vain.Everything around him suddenly disappeared, and Wen Ruyu suddenly found that he was standing in the mansion of Marquis Dingguo.Groups of people dressed in sackcloth and filial piety kneeled in front of the mourning hall and kowtowed to the altar, and the altar was engraved with Fang Yunheng's name.

People in the Hou's mansion walked past him back and forth, but no one paid any attention to him.Wen Ruyu yelled anxiously, but no one heard him. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab someone around, but he couldn't catch anything.

Wen Ruyu turned around in a hurry, only to find that behind her was the main hall of Tianyun Villa, which was also full of plains, and the memorial tablet in the mourning hall was written with her own name on it.Fang Yunheng is dead?Did he die too?Wen Ruyu broke out in a cold sweat from the scene in front of her.The voice of the old lady lingered in my ears again, and it could not go away for a long time: "You think you are still alive, but in fact you have never been alive. Wen Ruyu was about to shout, when a huge bat descended from the sky, staring at you with a pair of Youlan eyes. He rushed..."

Wen Ruyu opened his eyes suddenly, and found that it was dawn, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and smiled, it turned out to be a nightmare!But why would I have such a dream?Wen Ruyu sat up from the bed, reached out to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and found helplessly that her whole body was soaked in cold sweat.

Hearing his movement, the servant outside the door hurriedly brought in water, bowed and said: "Mr. Wen is awake, please wash up. Eldest Young Master invites you to the Lotus Hall for dinner."

Wen Ruyu sent a servant to fetch hot water, took a comfortable bath, changed her clothes, and then slowly walked into the lotus hall.

Jie Tianchou had already returned to the Hou Mansion, and Du Shaokang and Dr. Hu were drinking tea in the living room.

Du Shaokang's complexion is not so pale today, he changed into a blue cloth clothes, his hair was simply tied with a blue cloth belt, the simple clothes let him look like a Confucian scholar, compared with Doctor Hu's senility, even is eye-catching.

Du Shaokang and Dr. Hu had obviously had their breakfast, and they were drinking tea and chatting together. They seemed to mention something interesting, and Dr. Hu would twirl his beard and smile from time to time.

Wen Ruyu walked up to them and sat down, and the servant hurriedly served breakfast.

The breakfast was very "light", Wen Ruyu was dissatisfied, but she couldn't say anything, so she waved her hand to let the boy go down.

Seeing Dr. Hu and Du Shaokang talking happily, Wen Ruyu quickly asked: "What are you two talking about? So happy?"

Doctor Hu smiled and said to Wen Ruyu: "We are tasting tea. The tea brought by Mr. Du is really good. I have never had such a fragrant tea."

Wen Ruyu also smelled a faint scent of tea, exactly the same as the one she drank in Cuiping Town.He looked at the teacups of the two of them, there was indeed some residual tea in them, Wen Ruyu immediately picked up the teapot on the table, and was about to pour himself a cup, but the teapot was empty, Dr. Hu said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, just now This pot has been drunk by the old man."

Wen Ruyu looked at Du Shaokang in frustration, stretched out his hand and pulled his sleeve and said pitifully: "Mr. Du, the tea you make is so good, why don't you just take out more and let the younger brother drink some, since I tasted it in Cuiping Town , little brother can never forget it."

Du Shaokang smiled slightly, summoned the servant behind him, took out a bag of tea from his sleeve, and asked him to brew it again.

Only then did Wen Ruyu let go of her claws on his sleeve.

Dr. Hu looked at Du Shaokang with admiration, "This tea is actually homemade by Mister!"

Du Shaokang said modestly: "It's just some crude tea."

Now Dr. Hu quit, and said with a gloomy face: "I am a medical student, sir, you may regard me as a layman! This tea is sweet and moist, and has the effects of invigorating the spleen and appetizing, removing liver fire, and removing stasis and poison. A rare gem!"

Hearing Dr. Hu's praise, Wen Ruyu couldn't help clicking her tongue: "This tea has so many benefits! At most, I just think it tastes good."

Dr. Hu glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It would be a waste of such good tea to put it in your mouth! It's a pity!" Dr. Hu felt emotional for a moment and suddenly thought of something, and then asked Du Shaokang: "I don't know what the name of this tea is? "

Du Shaokang said respectfully: "It hasn't been named yet."

"So that's how it is." Dr. Hu sipped the tea carefully again, and said with a smile, "This tea has a lot of ingredients, and I can't figure it out for a while. But good tea is always like a beautiful woman. If you want to compare West Lake with West Lake, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable. , how about calling it Xizi Tea?"

"Thank you senior for giving me the name." Du Shaokang hurriedly cupped his hands in thanks.

Wen Ruyu joked with a smile: "I didn't expect Uncle Hu to be so romantic at such an old age. He is really growing old!"

Dr. Hu was not angry either, he smiled and said, "You bastard, no big or small."

Several people were chatting and laughing, and the Xizi tea was re-infused.

Wen Ruyu unceremoniously changed to a bigger cup and filled it up for herself.

Dr. Hu really couldn't stand it anymore: "Tea is for drinking, you are like drinking cows and horses like this."

Wen Ruyu let him talk, and the speed of pouring tea did not slow down at all.

Doctor Hu was quite helpless, he shook his head and didn't stop him, he turned to look at Du Shaokang and said: "Since we can make this tea, Mr. Du must have a lot of research on medicinal herbs, who is the respected teacher? Maybe the old man knows it too. "

Du Shaokang said wanly: "This junior was weak when he was young. Fortunately, he met a Dr. Yunyou, who taught him some basic pharmacology and can identify some common herbs. But he didn't accept him as a disciple, and he didn't tell his name."

"Oh! So that's the case." There were some people in Jianghu who were acting strangely, and Dr. Hu didn't continue to ask.He stared at Du Shaokang's face for a while, and then said: "Looking at Mr.'s face, I think there is some fire poison in his body, drinking this tea is just right!"

Du Shaokang's face was pale and his body was cold, shouldn't it be his body cold?How could there be fire?Wen Ruyu wondered, is there some mystery in this that he doesn't know?

Glancing at Dr. Hu, Wen Ruyu wondered if she would be scolded by the old man if she asked.Thinking of the old man's scolding appearance, Wen Ruyu gave up the idea of ​​asking, and instead asked, "Where is Mr. Du from?"

"I'm ashamed to say that I was raised by my uncle. I have been traveling around with my uncle since I was a child, and I have long forgotten where my hometown is." Du Shaokang said with a smile.

Dr. Hu said with emotion: "It seems that Mr. Du is also a half-life wanderer! But seeing Mr.'s moral cultivation, uncle can also feel at ease in his old age."

Du Shaokang bowed his head neither humble nor overbearing.

Wen Ruyu was doted on by her parents since she was a child, and she was well-clothed and well-fed. Naturally, she would not be interested in a lonely childhood where others could shed tears of sympathy.Asking more questions here is undoubtedly exposing the scars of others, so there is no need to continue.

The three drank tea again, and Doctor Hu got up to see Fang Yunheng.

Seeing that Dr. Hu was gone, Wen Ruyu pestered Du Shaokang for the secret recipe for tea.

Du Shaokang didn't hide it, and said directly: "The making of this tea is not difficult, and the raw materials needed are also very simple, but they are just relatively scarce."

When Wen Ruyu heard this, she immediately regained her spirits: "Don't worry about this, sir. Although my brother is not talented, he still has some skills in getting some rare items. You can get them no matter how expensive. Just tell me what you need, sir."

Du Shaokang said with a smile: "Young Master Wen misunderstood, I can't afford to use precious things. What I'm talking about is the hawthorn on a hawthorn tree on Cuiping Mountain."

"Hawthorn?" I thought it was something rare and valuable, but it turned out to be an ordinary hawthorn. Wen Ruyu clicked her tongue immediately when she heard it, "Is there anything special about the hawthorn on this tree?"

"Mr. Wen does not know that this tree grows among the rocks on the top of Cuiping Mountain. It is unobstructed. During the day, it has to experience wind, rain, sun and sun exposure. At night, it has to adapt to the sudden drop in temperature on the top of the mountain. Under such a harsh environment , the fruit it grows is small and hard. I think it is inconvenient to eat directly, so I simply dry it and grind it into powder to make tea. Because it is much sweeter than ordinary hawthorn, so there is no need to put sugar to cover it. Sour." Du Shaokang said carefully.

"I said how this tea is sweet and slightly sour. It is very refreshing. It turns out that there are hawthorns in it! No wonder! The inherent sweetness is indeed not comparable to ordinary sucrose. However, the terrain of Cuiping Mountain is steep. How could Mr. Du Want to go to the top of the mountain?" Wen Ruyu asked curiously.

"I have lived in Cuiping Town in Xiayou for many years, just to pass the time with nothing to do. It is a pity that the environment on the top of the mountain is harsh, and the production of hawthorn is not much. It is not yet the season for hawthorn to mature. It seems that Mr. Wen has to wait a few more months gone."

Wen Ruyu was immediately disappointed: "The good things in the world are indeed hard to come by!"

Du Shaokang saw his regretful face, so he tactfully gave way: "If Mr. Wen likes this tea, I have some left over here. If you don't dislike it, how about giving it all to you?"

Apparently Du Shaokang underestimated the thickness of Wen Ruyu's face, he coughed and tried to pretend to refuse: "How can I take advantage of others! But thanks to Mr. Du's gift, my younger brother is disrespectful, and I am ashamed to accept it. "

Du Shaokang: ...
