Chapter 599: Abandoned Child (3)
Wu Chengyin opened his eyes to the sound of soothing heavenly music. The room was dark. He pushed open the window, but it was already dawn. He saw a beautiful figure among the flowers in the lotus pond, with her fingers resting on the guzheng, and his heart calmed down.
"Sorry fairy, I got up late."
"It doesn't matter. I don't have the ability to interfere with your behavior."
"Yesterday, Cheng Yin was clumsy and couldn't prepare the meal in time. It won't happen today."
"Don't worry about those little things. Do you know any music?"
"Cheng Yin is not talented. He has learned the flute and a little bit of the zither. I am afraid that he will pollute the fairy's ears."
"I'm just bored, so you can play it. It's your reward for staying here."
"Chengyin, please show your humility." Looking at the flute and zither that suddenly appeared in front of him, with lights dancing on them, Wu Chengyin picked up the flute.
He played carefully, and she supported her chin with one hand and listened to his performance. He was a little nervous, but he didn't want her to close her eyes. Her fingers began to rest on the guzheng. He was actually guided by her voice. The two of them were in tune with each other and responded to each other.
"You are very clever."
"Fairy, you have guided me well."
Wu Chengyin poured tea for the woman opposite him. When he saw her trying to pick up the basket, he quickly took it and said, "Chengyin, take it."
He followed the woman all the way to the lotus pond. The woman stroked the lotus flowers with her slender fingers and cut them. When they came back, they had picked a basket of lotus flowers and lotus pods.
The woman went into the room without saying a word. Wu Chengyin could only take the flowers to the kitchen and start cleaning and cooking, not wanting the situation from last night to happen again.
Half a month later...
Wu Chengyin was thinking hard, writing down what Gu Yuxi had written, and was amazed at the exquisiteness of this magical skill. Unfortunately, he was not suitable for the advanced skills, only the elementary ones.
"The lotus porridge in the pot is cooked."
"Yes."
[Reward points: 500, countdown to the start of the mission world.]
[Xiao Ke, are you back?]
[Countdown to three minutes.]
Not getting a response, Gu Yuxi poured the forget-your-worry water into a cup and said to Wu Chengyin who came out of the kitchen, "Come here and drink the water."
"Fairy, don't worry, Cheng Yin can do it himself..."
"drink!"
After drinking the water, Wu Chengyin handed over the porridge, but he didn't want his memory to fade away. He shook his head and heard a cold voice saying, "You should go."
"Fairy, are you chasing me away?" asked Wu Chengyin, who was holding the porridge.
"After all, this place doesn't allow outsiders. You really should leave, otherwise I'll make you unlucky every day like that screaming monkey a few days ago."
"Fairy, you saved my life. I haven't repaid you yet. How can I leave with peace of mind?"
"I don't need to repay you. Once you leave this place, you won't remember what happened between you and me. It's just a dream."
Wu Chengyin immediately knelt down and said, "Please give Chengyin a chance to repay your kindness. It won't take long. Just a few days. Chengyin can serve you and clean the courtyard..."
"I don't need any of what you said. Let's go. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can tell me. I can help you. But if the things between you and me are known to outsiders, you will be struck by lightning."
"I...also ask the fairy to grant Cheng Yin the Yin-Yang Lotus to save my mother's life. If there is a chance in the future, Cheng Yin will definitely repay your kindness with a gift of grass and a ring."
"Let's go." Gu Yuxi placed four lotus flowers next to the other person.
A strong light flashed, and Wu Chengyin subconsciously closed his eyes. The woman in front of him disappeared. He looked around, and the other person's appearance was fading!
His mind paused, and he put his hand into his mouth. As the surrounding environment disappeared, he spat out the glass of water he had just drunk, and the fading memory came back.
When he opened his eyes again, Wu Chengyin found himself standing on a big rock with the Yin-Yang Lotus next to him. He was still holding the bowl of porridge in his hand, and he knelt down.
"Thank you Fairy for saving your life."
After getting up, Wu Chengyin drank the bowl of porridge, but he didn't want to see a few candies dropped by the fairy on the stone. He picked them up carefully, and then took the Yin-Yang Lotus to find the way back to Wudu...
Just after walking a distance and reaching the official road, Wu Chengyin heard the familiar voice of the guard: "Your Highness."
"Your Highness, where are you? Please come out quickly."
"Brother Yin!"
Hearing the voice, Wu Chengyin said to the other side: "Royal brother, I'm here, here!"
Wu Dejing ran towards the sound. The man over there heard the sound and ran over. He saw Wu Chengyin standing on the side of the road. Wu Dejing turned the man around and said, "You scared me to death. Are you okay last night?"
"Royal brother, I'm fine. Look what this is." He handed over the Yin-Yang Lotus in his hand.
Wu Dejing looked at the four lotus flowers and lotus pods and said excitedly, "Great! Where did you get them, brother Yin?"
"Yes... I found it by accident when I entered a cave. I forgot the exact location." Wu Chengyin said, touching his neck. He couldn't possibly reveal the matter of the fairy, it was a secret.
"No wonder I couldn't find you when I came back last night."
"last night?"
"It's hard to believe that it will take several days. You scared me to death. But you found this thing. Mother's illness can be cured."
Wu Dejing pulled the dazed Wu Chengyin into the carriage. Seeing that he was still thinking, he said, "We have solved the problem of that group of people last night, but unfortunately the clues behind them are gone."
"Don't worry, my brother. No matter how deep the person behind this is hiding, we will definitely find out who framed my uncle and his men."
"I hope so. Right now, the most important thing is to detoxify mother and the others. Where did you find the Yin-Yang Lotus? It is a spiritual item. I feel comfortable just by smelling it."
"I just said that I was about to be targeted by a hungry wolf last night. I found it after I moved to another place. There were only these few flowers there. After I picked the flowers, the lotus leaves all withered."
"This is in line with the legend. Things must be hidden and cannot be discovered by outsiders, especially that woman."
"I see."
Wu Chengyin calculated the time and found that he had been with the fairy for more than half a month. However, when he woke up, there was a big rock. The lotus pond was gone and the fairy was gone too.
If he had not spit out the water the fairy handed him in time, he would definitely not have known about this adventure, an adventure that no one would believe if he told it to others.
"Have a good rest. By the way, your illness..."
"Brother, I felt very uncomfortable last night, so I peeled a lotus pod and ate it. Afterwards, I felt refreshed all over. Now I feel better than ever before."
"Is this true?"
"Really? This is a treasure condensed from the essence of the sun and the moon. All my ailments are gone."
"That's a good thing, a blessing in disguise. I'm happy for you. I'll let the doctor feel your pulse later. By the way, your cloak... is probably gone. I'm useless."
"Brother, you are very good."
Wu Chengyin then remembered that his cloak was missing. Would she remember him because of the cloak? But she probably forgot him.
