Chapter 222 Black Lines
"Thank you... thank you so much..."
Meng'er never expected that there was still hope for her eyes to be cured, and tears flowed involuntarily again.
Yang Jianwu gently wiped away her tears, saying, "Don't cry, it's not good for your recovery. Just trust me."
"Ah."
After saying goodbye to Meng'er, Yang Jianwu and Puyang Xuan returned to Huashuiyuefang.
As soon as the door closed, Yang Jianwu flashed into the space. Puyang Xuan turned around and, not seeing anyone, felt a little frustrated. He called out to the air, "Jianwu, I'm so bored by myself. Why don't you take me in with you?"
"..."
"Sword dance?"
"..."
"Sword dance? Let me help you weed and water the plants."
As soon as Puyang Xuan finished speaking, the scenery before his eyes suddenly changed, and he found himself in the space.
Yang Jianwu was looking at the scan image of Meng'er's cornea. Upon closer inspection, a thing resembling an insect's antenna could be observed on the cornea.
"What is this?"
“There is a membrane on the surface of the human eye. Meng’er can see it simply by replacing the cornea. This is an image of her cornea.”
"And what about this black line?"
"I'm also studying it. It looks like an insect's antenna, but I can't be sure yet."
Pu Yangxuan's imagination ran wild. "An insect? Could it be a Gu worm?"
Yang Jianwu suddenly looked up, "Gu worms? Used in the eyes?!"
"Uh... I was just kidding, don't mind me..."
Why do you think it's a Gu worm?
"If she is Meng'er who escaped from the Imperial Advisor, then it is very likely that she is a Gu worm... Doesn't the Imperial Advisor like Gu?"
Yang Jianwu put down the blueprints and went to the bookshelf to look for information.
Puyang Xuan didn't disturb them and wandered around the garden alone. The medicinal fields in the space were neatly divided, and the herbs were growing well, but they needed someone to take care of them. Look at all the weeds by the roadside...
It must have been very tiring and difficult for Jianwu to organize the space all by herself before. Now that he's helping, it'll be easier for Jianwu.
Yang Jianwu spent the entire afternoon flipping through books and finally found a clue. Judging from the appearance of the picture, it was very likely a "corpse gu," a type of gu used on the dead to control the corpse's actions.
A dense mass of moving corpses... Is the Imperial Advisor about to create a biohazard?
Why are tentacles in Meng'er's eyes? Did the Imperial Advisor deliberately poison Meng'er's eyes with medicine, intending to control them with a corpse-like Gu?
If that's the case, then I have to praise him. He has a good thought process and his research spirit is commendable, but he's just using it in the wrong place!
Yang Jianwu put down the books, washed her hands, and went out to find Puyang Xuan. She was stunned when she arrived in the garden…
I checked the time; it had been less than two hours. What happened in the park?
Her plantain...
The Ophiopogon japonicus is about to be harvested...
And there are the dodder plants that I just raised...
"Ah Xuan! You owe me my medicine!"
Puyang Xuan was excitedly weeding when he heard a roar, his hands froze, and the grass he had picked fell to the ground...
"What is this sword dance?"
"You...you...you pay up!"
Yang Jianwu pointed to the mess on the ground with a pang of heartache. She was speechless for a long time. All that hard work in mining and planting, all that effort and worry, was gone in an instant.
"These are all Chinese medicinal herbs, and they were just about to be harvested, and you've ruined them all!"
Yang Jianwu squatted down and began processing the herbs. She kept the usable ones and replanted the immature ones in the soil. She also watered them with some spring water, not knowing if they would survive.
Pu Yangxuan looked embarrassed and took small steps to Yang Jianwu, making faces every now and then in an attempt to amuse her.
The woman acted like she was too busy and didn't have time, completely ignoring him...
He knew he had to bear the consequences of his own mistakes. Puyang Xuan snatched the herbs from Yang Jianwu's hands and buried them, saying, "Go and rest for a while. I'll bury them all. If they don't survive, I'll clean them up in a few days..."
Yang Jianwu continued tidying up the herbs beside her, and it took her a long time to speak.
“I don’t blame you for not recognizing these things, but I’m a little heartbroken about the fruits of your labor. Everything in nature has its counterpart, and there aren’t any insects like earthworms in this space that can loosen and improve the soil and increase fertility. I spent many days working on this land before…”
"I'm sorry, don't be sad, I'll replant them all!"
Yang Jianwu looked at the large pile of uprooted herbs and felt frustrated. She knew that Puyang Xuan wanted to help but couldn't bear to blame him. "Forget it, just spread them out to dry. I'll deal with the usable ones later."
"Sword dance?"
"I'm not angry anymore, but you need to learn to recognize these herbs so you can plant them in the future!"
There's plenty of labor available, so why not use it!
As long as Yang Jianwu doesn't get angry, Puyang Xuan will do whatever he wants. "No problem, I promise I won't make the same mistake twice!"
Thinking of something, she quietly leaned closer to Yang Jianwu and whispered, "Jianwu, I actually learned this from Mo Ye. A few days ago, when we were monitoring the Imperial Advisor at night, didn't he feel the atmosphere was awkward and go out to clear weeds, right..."
Yang Jianwu's eyes widened. "Don't tell me he pulled up these herbs..."
"Forehead ……"
Puyang Xuan scratched his nose. "Do you want to hear the truth?"
In her heart, she silently apologized to Mo Ye, "Brother! I didn't mean to drag him into this. I genuinely don't recognize herbs and medicines. He's known Jianwu for a long time, and I thought he knew a lot about them..."
