Blue, Red and White Dark Abyss Cauldron

Chapter 40: Collecting Herbs on the East Cliff (1)

The two talked for a long time and finally came to the topic of medicine to treat Bai Yixing's lung injury.

Chu Xiaomu asked, "Uncle Huai said that the lung injury of this Snow Country man is very strange. He has never seen anyone who has suffered internal and external injuries and the external injuries have healed while the internal injuries have become more serious. Sister, what is going on?" He thought that the water monsters had appeared on Baihua Island once, and there was no guarantee that they would not appear again in the future. I should ask clearly here so that if I really encounter them in the future, I will have a way to deal with it.

The Flower Fairy said: "Water monsters are also called mermaids. They live in the deep sea west of Lujiao Island in Cangmu Country all year round. That deep sea is called the Abyss and it is their territory. Mermaids are a very ancient alien race. They value their territory very much and do not allow people from other places to approach."

"It is said that the sea there is a thousand feet deep. There is a kind of black stone with patterns on the seabed. It is cold and hard. The mermaids forged it into a weapon, which we call the black stone fork. The black stone fork is cold in nature and can break the metal and fire phases. If it injures the heart and lungs, it will be extremely difficult to recover..."

Chu Xiaomu had no idea what she meant by "yin and cold nature" and "metal and fire aspects", and was confused for a moment.

The Flower Fairy finally said, "But all things are interdependent, and there is a balance between loss and benefit. The herb that can help with the lung damage caused by Black Stone Fork is called Golden Bird's Nest. It is on the east cliff of Hundred Flowers Island. It's getting late today, so I'll ask someone to take you there tomorrow."

Chu Xiaomu was very happy when he finally learned about the medicine that could cure Bai Yixing's lung injury.

At night, a maid brought a few bowls of food to Chu Xiaomu, and then took him to a side room to stay in. Although it was a side room, the furnishings were extremely exquisite, with soft quilts, soft beds, gauze curtains and embroidered pillows, and a faint fragrance.

Chu Xiaomu had been running around for days and was already exhausted. He fell into a deep sleep as soon as he got into bed.

When I woke up the next day, I felt refreshed and relaxed.

He sat up and stretched himself, and suddenly heard a "bang" and the door was kicked open. Xiaoying stood at the door angrily, glaring at him. Just as he was about to ask, she suddenly rushed to the bed, grabbed the quilt and pillow, and threw them all out of the room. She also ran over to pick up Chu Xiaomu's clothes, shoes and socks and threw them all out.

Chu Xiaomu was only wearing a short shirt and shorts, with his arms and thighs exposed. He asked in astonishment, "You...what are you doing?"

Xiaoying didn't seem to know how to avoid suspicion, she just said angrily: "Why do you sleep in my bed?!"

Chu Xiaomu didn't understand and said, "Is this your bed? I...I don't know."

"If it's not my bed, is it still your bed?"

"Aunt Liu told me to sleep here, so I slept here. I didn't know it was your bed."

Xiaoying pointed at the various items around her and said loudly, "Look at this dressing table, the fan, the hairpin, the mirror... Which one of them is not a girl's thing?"

Chu Xiaomu was extremely embarrassed, scratching his head and said, "This... I really didn't pay attention to this, maybe I was too tired..."

Several maids heard the noise and came to watch. Chu Xiaomu was naked and felt extremely embarrassed.

Xiaoying said angrily, "My sister asked me to sleep with her, so she gave my room to you. You stink so much, you have to compensate me for my quilt and pillow!"

Chu Xiaomu couldn't stand or sit, and had nowhere to hide. Under the gaze of several women, he was so embarrassed that his face turned red. He wanted to find a hole to crawl into. He stammered, "You...you give me the clothes first."

Xiaoying shouted, "You don't have legs or hands, and you still want me to get clothes for you?"

Chu Xiaomu had no choice but to get off the bed barefoot and put on his pants, clothes, shoes and socks in full view of everyone.

Xiaoying didn't wait for him to put on his clothes. She grabbed his belt and said, "Let me ask you, are you going to pay or not?"

Chu Xiaomu also got angry and said, "If I had known that this was a bed for a girl like you, I would have never slept in it. What's the big deal? Even spending a night in a grass nest is better than this."

Several maids laughed at the funny quarrel between the two of them.

During the quarrel, Xiaoxuan came over and said, "Xiaoying, stop making trouble. Your sister said she has to go find medicine and can't be delayed." Xiaoying stopped then, but still glared at Chu Xiaomu angrily, as if to say, "This matter is not over yet, just wait and see."

The Flower Fairy called them over, and then called Aunt Jiang, saying, "East Cliff is about half a day's journey from here. You should set off early and find the herbs as soon as possible. The Snow Country man will only live for a few days."

Xiaoying was surprised and asked, "Sister, do I have to go with him too?"

The Flower Fairy said, "You are the most familiar with Dongya, so of course you took him there. Besides, besides me, you are the only one who has seen the Golden Bird's Nest, and no one else can find it."

Xiaoying turned around and said, "Whoever wants to go can go, but I'm not going."

The flower fairy put on a serious face and said, "Don't you even listen to your sister? This is a matter of saving people, not a joke."

Xiaoying had no choice but to agree, but she still looked angry.

Chu Xiaomu, Xiaoying and Aunt Jiang hastily prepared some dry food and set off towards the eastern cliff.

Chu Xiaomu walked alone in front, while Xiaoying followed far behind with Aunt Jiang.

East Cliff was not too far from the Colorful House, and just as the Flower Fairy said, it only took half a day to get there.

The three of them rested for a while. Chu Xiaomu asked about the approximate location, shape and color of the golden bird's nest. He then tied one end of a long rope to a large rock at the edge of the cliff and the other end to his waist, preparing to go down the cliff to look for medicine.

Xiaoying snorted and said, "If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to find it in ten days or half a month."

Chu Xiaomu was stunned for a moment and said, "Then what should I do?"

Xiaoying deliberately angered him and said, "Of course I know what to do, but I won't tell you, what can you do?"

Chu Xiaomu was furious and almost cursed, but he had to hold back because he needed her help. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he had a plan in mind.

He untied the long rope on his body, threw it on the ground, sat lazily aside, and said, "I knew that Sister Hua was making fun of me."

Xiaoying asked, "What amuses you?"

"Asking someone who has no experience at all to lead me to find golden bird's nests, if that's not just a way to amuse me, then what is that?"

"Who told you I can't do it anymore?"

"You look so delicate, I'm sure you won't." After saying that, Chu Xiaomu lay down on the grass and closed his eyes.

Seeing that he looked down on her, Xiaoying couldn't help but get angry and said, "If I can do it, then so be it."

Chu Xiaomu said: "I looked at your eyes, nose, mouth, hands, feet... There is nothing that indicates that you can do it."

"Aunt Jiang, give me the rope."

Aunt Jiang took out a roll of thin rope from a cloth bag and handed it to Xiaoying with a smile.

Xiaoying took the thin rope and tied it around her waist neatly, walked to the edge of the cliff, and jumped down. Her body was extremely light and her clothes fluttered, like a dancing butterfly.
