C76 Blood-red Tea
The weather outside the window had become overcast. This was probably the last heavy rain of the summer.
Lightning split the sky above A City, and the heavy rain caused the trees by the side of the road to crumble. Countless people with umbrellas hid under the eaves to avoid the rain. Even those with umbrellas found a temporary shelter.
Mu Qingqing was wearing a blue and white hospital gown as she slowly walked in the heavy rain. The cold raindrops did not miss a single corner of her body.
While Aa Jiu was going to the bathroom, she quickly ran downstairs. She couldn't find an idea that would make her happy. Her depressed mood needed a cold rain to ease it. Taking advantage of the heavy rain, it was good to wet her heart.
In any case, the people from the Mu Family didn't care about her life and death, and she herself couldn't think of any reason to be a little more optimistic.
He was in a depressed mood as he walked aimlessly.
The torrential rain continued for a long time. Mu Qingqing continued to rain for two hours, but the rain did not stop. She continued to walk without a clue, and before she knew it, she had arrived at the market at the foot of the mountain.
There was a commotion inside, and many people looked at her strangely.
She completely ignored the gazes of these people as she slowly walked in the rain. The scenes from her previous life that had broken her heart began to play in her mind like a movie. She was so sad that she almost had no desire to live.
Mu Xiaoyou and Su Cuiyun's hearts were linked. Mu Anren's heart was tied to his work, Mu Yichen was on the side of his parents, and she was just a daughter who Mu Anren would occasionally show a bit of fatherly love to.
There was suddenly no rain above her head. Mu Qingqing blinked her eyelashes, which had been stuck together by the rain water. She looked back at the person who had helped her with the umbrella.
"Little girl, why are you out in the rain for no reason? Did you not bring an umbrella? " It was the old granny who sold garlic seedlings and coriander. At this moment, she was holding onto the handle of the black umbrella with much difficulty and using her feet to help her carry the umbrella. Her tone was filled with worry.
Mu Qingqing turned around in a daze. Her expression showed that she didn't want to live anymore. She moved her lips, but didn't know where to begin.
"Oh, is there something wrong? No matter what obstacle, you should not be able to overturn your body. " The grandma took out a bottle of blue liquid medicine from the pocket of her down jacket and quickly handed it over to Mu Qingqing.
"Drink this first, it's raining so heavily, what will happen if you catch a cold?" The grandma's tone was as if she was caring for her child. It was so warm that it made people want to cry.
Mu Qingqing's eyes reddened, and she almost burst into tears.
She held the cold and transparent glass bottle in her hand and stared at the bright blue liquid in a daze. "I'm sorry, but her eyesight is bad. I really don't know what kind of medicine this medicine bottle, which didn't even have a label on it, is." Grandma, what medicine is this? "
"This is a body strengthening medicine that I made myself. Drink it quickly." The grandma looked at her worriedly. Her hands were already sore from holding it up high. She wouldn't be able to hold the umbrella for long. The direction of the umbrella was already turned towards Mu Qingqing.
Mu Qingqing frowned, she could not bear to let the old granny's care fail, so she gulped down the entire bottle of bright blue liquid.
It was very sweet, and also had the refreshing feeling of mint. The medicine made by the old granny was quite tasty. After drinking it, Mu Qingqing felt less depressed.
"It's raining heavily today, so you shouldn't be wandering around this street. How about …" The grandma rolled her eyes, seemingly hesitant.
Mu Qingqing looked at her inquiringly, not knowing what the old lady wanted to say.
"Let's go to my house to take shelter from the rain." The old granny held Mu Qingqing's hand, and felt sorry for her when she saw the look of helplessness on her face. He was only at the age of a student, why did he have an expression that said 'I wish I were dead'? One had to know that there were many things in the world that he had yet to do.
Mu Qingqing smiled faintly and withdrew her hand weakly. The people who had died before had heard quite a bit of news as well. Selling girls, dragging black carts. Mu Qingqing thought that she had only known the old granny twice, and that the old lady was going to take her somewhere she didn't know.
"No, thank you." Mu Qingqing smiled politely, her eyes clearly wary. After drinking the medicine that the old granny had given him, he felt somewhat weak. It was unknown whether it was due to the effects of that medicine or the rain that had soaked him in it.
She couldn't help but be more vigilant. Su Cuiyun used to tell Mu Xiaoyou to not take anything from a stranger and not follow them. Mu Qingqing had been blind before, but fortunately she was not deaf.
Through the curtain of rain, Mu Qingqing could clearly see the stalls that the old granny had set up. This time, they were all bright red tomatoes, only three in total, but they were shockingly big, as if they had been irrigated with pesticides until they were as big as a pot. So it became a retarded product again.
Honestly speaking, the garlic shoots and parsley that he bought at home the last two times had been left for quite a long time without any signs of rotting. Aunt Qiong was still muttering to herself that it was probably because she had used too much pesticide, so she didn't have any chance of getting rid of it at all. Mu Qingqing frowned as she looked at the tomatoes on the grandma's stall. Although the garlic and coriander didn't taste bad, if she ate too many pesticides, it wouldn't be good for her body.
Aunt Qiong threw away the leftover garlic seedlings and coriander, even though it wasn't damaged in the slightest.
"It's raining so heavily outside, where can you go?" It was difficult for the old granny to understand Mu Qingqing's current mood. She took the initiative to invite her to visit her home, but was heartlessly rejected by Mu Qingqing. The old granny was a little depressed.
"I... "I …" Mu Qingqing could not utter a complete sentence. She originally wanted to shout for help, but her head was spinning. Her vision turned dark and she fainted.
"..."
"The Bone Strengthening Medicine clearly has no side effects. How worrisome." Her voice was young and light, like a five or six-year-old girl.
"This girl's heart is quite kind. Why can't she just let the rain fall?"
"Humans, it's really complicated." "There was a crisp lament, and it sounded quite cute." Not as simple as M-122. "
Mu Qingqing slowly opened her eyes. Above her head was the appearance of a cave. The grey stone had been cut into the shape of a starry sky. Turning his head to look, he saw that the pink curtain was placed to the side, perfectly blocking the hot sun outside. However, it did not cause the entire cave to become dark.
Rubbing her head, Mu Qingqing sat up using the stone bed as support. When she saw that her legs were red, her heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
Mom!
Did she have her organs stolen?
Why was his leg so numb that he could no longer feel it?
Who could tell her how much blood flowed from her body?
Mu Qingqing bit her lips and supported herself on the stone bed in panic. Her face was ashen.
She carefully recalled the scene before she fainted and became even more flustered. Was it the old granny's doing? He didn't kidnap or sell her to the traffickers, nor did he drag her onto the black car to do some dirty work. Instead, he took one of her organs?
She was just so dispirited that she didn't want to speak with someone from the Mu Family, and didn't even think about the outcome of having her organs taken out!
"You're awake?" The childish voice drew her attention, and Mu Qingqing turned to look at her.
She wore a festive red dress with two little braids on her head. The skin on her face could only be described as brittle.
"You, who are you?" Mu Qingqing was a little taken aback. Why couldn't she remember knowing such a cute little girl?
There were three neat rows of test tubes in the entire wide cave. There were all sorts of different colored liquids in them, and they were not murky. They were just like the blue potion she drank previously, sparkling with a bright light.
The floor of the cave was very clean. On the side, there was a row of clothes hangers. All kinds of clothes were hung. All of them were worn by women, except for those of all ages. Most of them were small, suitable for the girl in front of him. Only a small part of them were for adults.
Mu Qingqing looked around, and near the curtain, a clearing had been cleared. The soil inside was bright red, and there were growing pumpkins on the ground.
The little girl brought a cup of blood-red liquid, which she filled with the usual cup of coffee, and brought it to Mu Qingqing.
"You … Did you cut my leg? " Mu Qingqing nervously held onto the pink silk bed sheet with one hand as she looked at the tiny little girl with her eyes.
The little girl looked at her in surprise, then looked at Mu Qingqing's leg, which was still dripping with bright red liquid.
"Sorry, I just brought you a cup of our specialty tea. I didn't expect to kick a rock, break the cup, and even dirty your leg." The little girl said apologetically.
"Huh?" Is that so? "The corner of Mu Qingqing's mouth twitched as she stared gloomily at her leg." But why do I feel like my legs can't move? "
"Can't you move? Maybe it's because you've been maintaining that sleeping posture and haven't been able to turn around. " The little girl scratched the back of her head and looked at her with blinking eyes.
"Ugh …" This was very awkward.
Mu Qingqing moved her legs. It was just like what the little girl said. Her legs were just numb.
"Let me give you a taste of our special tea." Seeing that she had calmed down, the little girl sincerely handed over the specialty tea in her hand.
Mu Qingqing stared at the characteristic tea leaves that were blood-red in color and frowned. What is this? I've never seen one. "
The blood-red tea leaves looked really bloody.2
"It's a tea from my hometown, the ingredients are confidential." The little girl said with a smile.
"Mu Qingqing accepted the tea, but still didn't have the guts to drink it." I remember that before I fainted, I was at the market. Did you save me? "
"The little girl stared silently at the tea in her hand, indicating that she should taste it first." This tea is very tasty, you don't have to be afraid. "
Alright, it seems that if I don't drink this tea, I won't even be able to find out where I am.
Mu Qingqing forced herself to take a sip of the blood-red tea. It was salty and had a creamy flavor to it. It was not hard to drink, but she couldn't tell what the ingredients were.
"Where is your hometown?" Mu Qingqing squeezed out a smile and asked.
Seeing her drink the blood-red tea, the little girl lifted her head to look at the top of the cave with a sad expression.
