Yu Shu showed her hand in front of Xia Mingming. She originally wanted to get information from her, but she didn't expect Xia Mingming to ask her to teach her. She really dared to say anything.
Yu Shu looked at Xia Mingming with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "Why should I teach you?"
Hearing this teasing, Xia Mingming knew her request was too much. She opened her mouth and after a while, she said, "I, I, I will give you money, okay?"
Yu Shu said, "Your luggage has already been searched by Qiu Biao. Do you have money on you?"
Xia Mingming's face froze. She really didn't have a single copper coin on her. "I, I will owe you first, okay?"
Yu Shu burst out laughing. She raised her hand and pulled her sleeve back from her hand. She waved her hand and said, "Then we will talk about it when you have money."
This was clearly a refusal. Xia Mingming said, "I, I really want to learn the six lines. Ashu, teach me. I promise, I won't tell anyone. How about, how about I write you an IOU? No matter how much money you want, I will give it to you in the future!"
Seeing her persistent attitude, Yu Shu suddenly became suspicious. She could understand that people would be tempted by the superior art of disguise. But Xia Mingming's behavior was not only tempted, but also eager.
"First, tell me, why do you want to learn the six lines?" Yu Shu's question was a little tricky. Apart from those who already knew the art, there was no one who didn't want to learn it. This question was like asking, "Why do you want to eat?" The answer was obvious.
But when Xia Mingming heard this question, she hesitated.
"I, I …"
Yu Shu suddenly understood. It seemed that the six lines had a more important meaning to Xia Mingming. So much so that she was thick-skinned enough to make such an excessive request.
This was easy. The more she wanted it, the easier it would be for her to control her.
"It's not that I can't teach you." This sentence made Xia Mingming's face light up. Yu Shu kept her in suspense, "But this art of disguise is passed down by my master. I definitely can't teach it to someone who doesn't know anything. First, tell me, where did you come from?" She had always been curious about Xia Mingming's background. She didn't ask much before because there was no need. But now that they were going to the capital together, she couldn't keep an unknown person and take care of her.
When Xia Mingming heard Yu Shu's question, she revealed a difficult expression. Yu Shu didn't give her time to think, "It's fine if you don't want to say it. It's not that I can teach it to outsiders. Anyway. I can't teach it to outsiders."
"It's not that I don't want to say of it." Xia Mingming lowered her and said.
"Xia Mingming doesn't want to of me." Xia Xt Xt Want to say of Yi of Xia of Of Ming Xue. "
This time, Xia Mingming answered straightforwardly, "I want to participate in the Grand Yan Examination!"
Every three years, the capital would hold a Grand Yan Examination. It was the best way for the world's traders to rise to the upper class and become famous overnight. This year was the third year.
Yu Shu asked suspiciously, "Isn't the Grand Yan Examination in the twelfth month? Why are you going to the capital so early?"
"What? Don't you know?" Xia Mingming looked at Yu Shu strangely, "In every year where the Grand Yan Examination is held, the masters of Yi Xue will appear in the capital every August. Any trader who wants to take a look will visit them and ask for advice. This is a rare opportunity. Of course, I have to go early."
Yu Shu knew she asked a silly question. She rubbed her nose and changed the topic, "You're so good at Yi Xue. I'm sure you'll be able to pass."
This compliment sounded like sarcasm to Xia Mingming. She laughed at herself, "What's so good about me?"
Yu Shu glared at her. "You can even predict the time of the cargo ship's disaster. Isn't that good enough?"
Xia Mingming shook her head with a bitter expression.
Yu Shu saw something wrong with her expression and used her elbow to nudge her, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't predict it."
Yu Shu laughed in spite of herself and said, "If it's not calculated, then how could it be imagined out of nowhere?"
Xia Mingming bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before softly saying, "I … I dreamed it."
Yu Shu rolled her eyes and changed into a 'who are you trying to fool' expression.
Xia Mingming saw that she did not believe her and angrily said, "I really dreamed it. The night before the ship's disaster, I dreamed that we would encounter water bandits the next night. Many people died. You, me, and Xiaoxiu. I dreamed that we all died. That's why I went to Bi Qing and asked him to go ashore." Yu Shu saw that she did not seem to be lying and was shocked. She asked without batting an eyelid, "How can you be sure that what you dreamed will happen? What if it is just a normal dream?"
Lou Mingming said at the same time, "I can be sure.
Yu Shu said with an exaggerated expression, "Then you still say that you are not powerful? You can know whether it is a blessing or a curse. Isn't this prophecy? "
Interesting. Qing Zheng's master had told her before that there were very few talented people in this world who were born with abilities that others couldn't learn. She didn't expect that she would meet one so soon. It was really infuriating to compare oneself with others.
"Prophecy? If I have that kind of ability, I don't need to … "Xia Mingming hugged her knees and laughed at herself," Do you think that everything in my dream will happen? Let me tell you, my dream will only come true if someone dies in my dream. "
Yu Shu was stunned. She digested Xia Mingming's words and was stunned. If what she said was true, then Xia Mingming had the ability to "determine life and death"?!
An idea flashed through her mind. She thought of something and was about to think about it carefully when she heard a choking sound.
She raised her head and saw that Xia Mingming was crying with tears in her eyes.
Yu Xiaoxiu, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, also raised his head and looked at Xia Mingming, who was crying at the drop of a hat.
"Hey, what's wrong? Why are you crying out of nowhere?" Yu Shu reached out to pat her but found that her hand was covered in mud. She could only retract her hand and soften her voice, "Isn't it good that you have this ability?"
"What's good about it?!" Xia Mingming shouted at Yu Shu and cried with red eyes, "I often dream that people I don't know will die. It is not an empty dream. They will really die. They will really die! Do you know that! I don't know who they are and where they are. I can't tell them. So what if I dream? What's the use? What's the use? I can't dream of good things, I can only dream of dead people! I am the trash of the Xia Jiang Clan, I am trash! "
Yu Shu was dumbfounded. She could hear the pain in Xia Mingming's crying. Only then did she realize that her thinking was too simple. Dreaming about the life and death of people and determining the life and death of people, the difference was a thousand miles.
Determining the life and death was not knowing the life and death. If you don't know who will die, even if you know why and when they will die, what's the use?
Yu Shu suddenly felt pity for her. With this kind of ability, she might as well not have it.
Xia Mingming cried and stood up, wanting to run out. Seeing this, Yu Shu hurriedly chased after her and pulled her back outside the cave. She was afraid that she would get lost in the forest in her excitement.
"Let me go! Let me go! "
Xia Mingming struggled and reached out to slap Yu Shu. Her strength was quite painful. Yu Shu frowned and endured it. She didn't get angry at her. Instead, she grabbed her wrists and twisted them back. She hugged her and comforted her, "Okay, okay, don't cry. There are wolves in the forest. If you attract them, they will eat you first."
Xia Mingming's body stiffened and then softened. She leaned her forehead on Yu Shu's shoulder and sobbed softly. In the blink of an eye, her tears had wetted Yu Shu's shoulder.
Yu Shu was annoyed by her crying. She wanted to push her to the side, but she was afraid that she would run away. She could only hug her and wait for her to calm down.
Yu Xiaoxiu and Kim Bao were squatting in the cave, looking at the two of them with their big and small eyes.
After a while, when Yu Shu couldn't help but lose her temper, Xia Mingming finally stopped crying. She sniffled and raised her head from Yu Shu's shoulder. Because the two of them were hugging each other, her face was red. She twisted her body and said in a small voice, "Let me go."
"Not crying anymore?" Yu Shu asked.
"Not crying anymore." Xia Mingming bit her lips. Her face was red like blood.
Yu Shu immediately let go of her. She rubbed her ears and took a step back. She looked at her shoulder that was wet with tears and snot. She pointed to it and teased Xia Mingming, "You have to wash my clothes."
Xia Mingming raised her head and looked at her. She was born beautiful with a pair of bright eyes. At this time, she was shy and full of tears. Even a woman like Yu Shu couldn't take her eyes off her.
"I'll wash them. Take them off later." After saying this, Xia Mingming turned around and ran into the stone cave. He had completely forgotten about learning the Six Yao Lines.
Yu Shu stood outside the cave with her back turned. She rubbed her chin and whispered, "Xia Jiang's family?"
What kind of family was that? It sounded like a very impressive feat.
Yu Xiaoxiu and Yu Shu were busy for the whole morning. They found two nests of eggs, which were the size of a crow's egg. They ate two eggs each and fed one to Kim Bao. Although it wasn't good, at least it didn't hurt his stomach.
Jing Chen's fever didn't subside and he was still unconscious. In order to cool him down, Yu Shu tore her clothes into strips and wet them with water. She asked Yu Xiaoxiu to wipe his body. When she cleaned his wounds, she found that pus flowed out of his wounds.
This worsening condition made Yu Shu extremely worried. She handed Jing Chen over to Yu Xiaoxiu to take care of while she took her sword and went out to see if there were any useful herbs in the forest.
Xia Mingming could see that Yu Shu was in a heavy mood. He didn't pester her to learn the six lines, but he didn't give up the idea.
In her previous life, after Shou Lei had been paralyzed, he had taken a lot of traditional Chinese medicine to nourish his body. Yu Shu had found a Chinese herbal medicine for him, so she had more or less heard of several kinds of medicinal herbs. At this time, she racked her brains to recall and wandered around the forest for an hour. As a result, she really did find some wild forget-me-nots near the stream that had fruits growing on them.
The flowers were purple. Forget-me-nots were often seen in flower shops. Few people knew the real forget-me-nots. Its scientific name was blood nourishing grass. Although it was often drunk as a flower tea, and Yu Shu didn't know if it could be applied externally, she couldn't care too much at this time.
Yu Shu excitedly plucked a handful and washed them one by one by the water. She ran back to the cave and wrapped them up with a cloth. She squeezed them and used the juice to wash away the pus on Jing Chen's wounds. Finally, she pasted the crushed herbs on his wounds and used a dry cloth to wrap it up again.
She didn't know if it was the right cooling or the effect of the forget-me-nots, but at night, Jing Chen's fever slowly subsided, but he still showed no signs of waking up.
