During the days of recuperation, he gritted his teeth and did not speak.
The curtains were always hung on the silver hook. Other than when he drank medicine, there was always a distance between them.
That kind of distance did not only exist in this room, and it was definitely not limited to the five and a half steps between the bed and the tea table.
It was another night. Jiang Wang did not know which day it was, because he did not know how long he had been unconscious, and there was no way for him to communicate with others.
Counting from the day he woke up, he had been drinking medicine for five days.
Miaoyu pushed open the door and walked in when the night was deep, just like every other day. She was still wearing a gray monk robe, with a monk's hat wrapped around her long hair and a bodhi mask covering her face.
Jiang Wang could roughly outline her appearance just by listening to the sound of her footsteps.
He had never been in such a powerless state for such a long time in his life. He could only lie on the bed every day, slowly moving his Daoyuan and silently nourishing his body, waiting for it to get better.
He could not cultivate and did not have the spare energy to explore his Inner Mansion. Even if he studied Daoist techniques in his mind, he could not expend too much energy. After thinking for a while, he had to rest for a while.
In addition, he could only listen to the sound of the footsteps, which were gradually getting farther and farther away.
Speaking of which, this should be his longest "rest" period. In the past, no matter what, he had never slacked off on cultivation. But now, due to the state of his body, he could only intermittently move his Daoyuan and study Daoist techniques. He could not do more.
He had a long time to sleep and a long time to be in a daze.
When he slept, he was drowsy, but when he was in a daze, he was completely at ease.
Miaoyu walked into the room, and as usual, she lit a lamp first. This bronze lamp was filled with lamp oil boiled with Piper Mulberry Tree Resin. It was used to calm the mind and was especially suitable for people who were sick in bed.
A bean of light softly lit up the room.
She took out three bowls of boiled medicine from the storage box and checked them one by one with a Body-Mimicking Grass.
The Body-Mimicking Grass was a precious medicine with a very magical effect. After it was contaminated with the breath of the patient, it would imitate the patient's physical state. It was usually used to test medicine for the patient, and could reflect the patient's state after taking the medicine to the greatest extent.
The condition of the Mimicry Grass was very good, and today's medicine was very suitable. Miaoyu calmly put it away.
After using his spirit power to slightly adjust the temperature of the medicine, he took out a wooden tray and carried the three bowls of extremely ugly looking medicine to the side of the bed. One of the bowls was multicolored and extremely complicated, one of the bowls was a gloomy green with fluorescence, and one of the bowls was as black as ink.
She looked at the strange creatures and suddenly remembered the bowl of "soup" in the black bear's cave. She couldn't help but smile.
Therefore, he walked even more actively.
Her steps were light, and the fragrance of her fragrance drifted.
She walked to the side of the bed with a beautiful posture. With one hand, she lifted Jiang Wang, who was lying on the bed, to lean against the headboard.
The smell of the three bowls of medicine mixed together to form an indescribably terrifying smell. Not only was the smell pungent, but it was also heart-wrenching.
Jiang Wang glanced around and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.
The corners of Miaoyu's mouth curled up again under the mask, but she still didn't speak. She just picked up one of the bowls and moved it towards Jiang Wang's lips.
Jiang Wang had already remembered the consequences of refusing.
Therefore, he obediently opened his mouth.
Miaoyu's eyes were smiling even more. She gently poured the bowl of ink-black medicinal liquid into his mouth.
Gulp, gulp.
Jiang Wang hurriedly swallowed it.
Although he had a strong will, at this moment, his eyebrows were knitted together, as tight as iron bars.
Miaoyu's hand was very steady, and the second bowl of multicolored medicine was brought over.
Jiang Wang opened his mouth again, as if he was facing death with equanimity …
After drinking three bowls of medicine in succession, she put away the bowl and the tray. She casually picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Jiang Wang's mouth.
She then grabbed Jiang Wang's leg and pulled it down, making him return from sitting to lying down — this attitude made Jiang Wang feel even more ashamed. It was as if he was a baby who was only a few months old and could only be manipulated by adults.
But he couldn't protest — he knew that the woman was waiting for him to speak.
But he didn't.
Jiang Wang continued to gnash his teeth in a cold war.
Miaoyu had already left the bedside without a care.
One, two, three, four, five … five and a half steps.
She sat down in front of the tea table.
She sat with her back to Jiang Wang, cross-legged and closed her eyes.
Her graceful back was like a painting, reflected on the wall by the light. What kind of painter could draw such a beautiful scene?
Not long after, the light was blown out.
Using the oil boiled from pipa mulberry tree to light the lamp was excellent for recuperation, but it was only suitable to light the lamp for an hour every night, otherwise it would not be enough.
The moonlight was also blocked by the window. Now, only the night flowed between the two of them.
One of them was sitting, and the other was lying down. Their breathing was very gentle.
It seemed that there were no waves, and they were just wasting time.
But both of them knew that no matter how long the night was … it would eventually pass.
Accidents always happened unexpectedly.
Knock, knock, knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Jiang Wang only felt the wind move, and he was squeezed inside, and there was one more person beside him.
The white curtain was already down, and the small silver hook was moving back and forth in the air.
His mind suddenly tensed up.
"Junior Sister True Jade."
A female voice sounded outside the door.
True Jade? Was that her new name?
After recuperating here for so long, this was the first time someone had come to visit him. He had thought that no one would come.
A woman's voice sounded beside him. "Senior Sister, I'm already asleep. What's the matter?"
It was too close …
Creak ~
The door had already been pushed open, and then it was closed.
The unknown "Senior Sister" had already walked into the room.
Jiang Wang was very nervous. He guessed that this nervousness was because of his current identity and current situation. The suspicion of being in cahoots with demons had not been cleared. How many places in the world dared to protect him? He could not be discovered by others.
"You don't have to get up." From the sound of her voice, that "Senior Sister" should be standing by the door. "I'll just say a few words to you here. I don't know what to say when I really meet you face to face … "
Jiang Wang only felt that his arm seemed to touch a ball of water. The water was warm and soft, and it fit the shape of his arm.
There seemed to be a vortex there, attracting all his attention.
Everything was actually very quiet. He could clearly hear his own heartbeat.
"Senior Sister … What do you want to say?"
Only then did Jiang Wang realize that her voice was very different from usual. The thousands of flirtatious and seductive feelings in her voice had all been restrained. It became calm, quiet, and free.
From Miaoyu, White Lotus, and then to True Jade, what had she experienced?
Jiang Wang had always known that he did not understand her. He had also always thought that he did not want to understand her.
However, he could not block his ears, so at this moment, he could only listen in such an awkward way …
"You usually don't see people, but it's rare for you to stay in the nunnery for these few days." The female voice by the door said, "Senior Sister is also very happy to see you …"
Miaoyu's breathing seemed to be a little heavy. That kind of weight seemed to be pressing down on the air, causing Jiang Wang's breathing to be unnatural at this moment.
However, her voice still flowed out in that clear tone —
"My temper is unstable. I can't stay in one place. Sometimes, when I meet a kitten or a dog, I have to stay for a long time … The matters in the nunnery have really been hard on you, Senior Sister. "
Jiang Wang unnaturally wanted to move a little to the side, but his body was really powerless.
His breathing became more and more difficult.
He did not know why, but he felt that there seemed to be a source of fire next to him.
There was an unbelievable temperature that seemed to be burning something.
A flame without a flame, burning without a heart.
