Chapter 76: Wang Feng
Given my vision, status and position, it is impossible for me to understand what kind of situation Jenny is in, and she won’t tell me either.
So at this time I just stayed in the room, sitting on the stool, waiting alone, feeling that I was not very welcome by that man named Wang Feng.
Yes, the man in the Hanfu was called Wang Feng, a very simple and unadorned name, just like his thatched cottage, and just like the furnishings in his thatched cottage, simple and unadorned but with a unique charm.
Wang Feng’s face always had a faint look of impatience. Except when I was reciting the prescription, he was obviously moved, but the rest of the time it was this faint look of impatience. After I finished reciting the prescription, Wang Feng just said, “I’m going to the Zhuangzi’s prescription to see if I can make the complete supplement pill mentioned in this prescription. You just wait here, don’t follow me.”
Yes, I was ‘excluded’ from the room, while Jenny followed him.
When they came to the thatched cottage, Wang Feng poured a cup of fragrant tea for Jenny, and naturally, I didn’t get any. Before Jenny followed Wang Feng to the pharmacy, she whispered to me, “If you’re thirsty, you can drink some of this tea, but remember to save some for me.”
This sentence seemed to have caused Wang Feng to be displeased. He looked at me indifferently, but in the end, he didn’t care and turned and left.
Since I was not 鈥榳elcomed鈥� by the host, I was also worth staying in the house in such a reserved manner. The door to the thatched cottage was wide open, and I didn鈥檛 know where a rabbit that looked full of spirit came from. It stuck its head out of the door and looked at me curiously and cautiously.
I smiled at the rabbit because I was bored, and the rabbit seemed frightened, immediately pulling its head back. After a short while, it stuck out half its head again to look at me. It was really cute, so I said, “Little rabbit, come here and give your brother a hug.”
As a result, the rabbit, as if it had been molested, turned around, ran away like the wind, and left me sitting in the room, speechless and sweating, thinking to myself, “The rabbits in the ‘immortals’ family are really different. Am I lewd? Did I lewdly molest a rabbit? Or, is Wang Feng’s true identity Chang’e, who was born in the wrong body, and the rabbit is the Jade Rabbit? He was afraid that others would find out his identity, so he turned the osmanthus tree in the moon palace into a peach tree? Maybe if I go out and take a look, I’ll see a female version of Wu Gang chopping down the peach tree?
As for why it is a female version of Wu Gang, this Chang’e is all male, so of course Wu Gang has to become a woman.
I suddenly realized that I was being ridiculous. I think it was because Jenny had stimulated me for a long time that I was sensitive to all kinds of myths and legends. After a while of rambling on, I began to take a look at the thatched hut. To be honest, it was simple and straightforward, and I could see through it at a glance. Apart from being able to see that the furniture here was handmade and natural, there was nothing else to see.
What adds a touch of charm to this room is a landscape painting hanging in the main hall. It is unsigned and I don’t know who painted it. I don’t have any artistic talent, but I simply think that the painting is very good. I can’t say why, but I personally feel that I can’t look closely at the landscape painting. I have a vague feeling that my personal abilities are not enough.
What is this inexplicable thought? I moved my gaze away from the landscape painting and picked up the tea cup on the table. I thought to myself, “What kind of tea is this? Jenny doesn’t want me to drink it all, but I didn’t know that as soon as I opened the lid, a strong aroma of tea came at me. No wonder people say that the aroma of flowers is intoxicating. Tea is restrained, but the aroma of tea can be so strong, which shows that the essence of this tea will make people more intoxicated.
Just this aroma made me suddenly feel that the Dahongpao I drank many years ago was surpassed. What is rare is that the tea aroma has a strange coolness, which makes people feel a little clearer when they smell it.
I looked down at the cup, but couldn’t find any traces of tea leaves. I thought that maybe a cup had been poured out of the pot, and the tea soup was a strange light green color, which looked very pleasing. With my limited knowledge of tea, I thought of several types of green tea, but I couldn’t think of any tea leaves that could make this strange light green tea soup.
I thought about it for a while, but then I decided to take a sip. I lifted the cup and took a small sip. The first time the tea touched my tongue, it was tasteless, which surprised me. I thought I had made a mistake in my judgment. The tea only smelled good, but then a slight bitterness passed over my tongue, and then it spread in my mouth. But in less than a second, it gave me a taste of what it meant to be shocked. If I had to use a word to describe it, it would be “explosion”!
Yes, a burst of fragrance exploded in my mouth and nose, and it was hard to describe the fragrance. It was elegant and floral, intoxicating, and even more amazing was that there was always a faint coolness in it, and I felt that the fatigue I had felt since I was injured had disappeared a little.
Could it be that this tea has the effect of nourishing the spirit and moistening the soul? It’s hard to imagine!
The boring time I spent in the house was enlivened by this cup of tea. Every little while, I couldn’t help but enjoy a sip of tea and enjoy the explosion of fragrance. Time seemed to become slow and elegant. I suddenly had a feeling that I would like to live in a thatched cottage for a long time, enjoying the life of drinking tea at night and admiring the moon.
Just when the cup of fragrant tea was about to be finished, Jenny suddenly came back. Looking at me holding the cup of tea, she said in a bad mood, “Kid, you drank this cup of fairy wine to the last drop, and you don’t expect me to leave you a little bit.”
“Immortal drunk? Is this wine?” I didn’t expect the tea in my hand to have such a name. Shouldn’t this be the name of the wine?
“Even immortals get drunk from it. Is there anything wrong with calling it Immortal Drunk? I won’t talk to you about this tea. In short, you are lucky to be able to drink such a cup of tea when your soul is wounded. Although a cup of tea is powerless against your injury, if you can drink it for years and years, then… Jenny said this, but before she finished, she patted her chest, looking like a sinner, and said, “How can I say such a sinful and extravagant thing, letting this kid drink the fairy drunk for years and years? Wang Feng knows he will definitely fight me.
“Yes, there will definitely be a duel! I don’t think he really welcomes me, and this tea is for you too.” Jenny said this, and I also teased her a bit, but I didn’t really care. After all, I can’t expect a stranger to be enthusiastic about me at first sight, right?
But when Jenny heard this, she came over and tapped me on the forehead, saying, “You know nothing! Wang Feng is cold and aloof, and has a kind of, well, a kind of ‘cleanliness’ in his relationships. The first time I saw you, it was already a favor to me to not glare at you. And he saw that your soul was traumatized, and I was concerned, so he deliberately used my name to pour a cup of fairy wine for you. Otherwise, do you think that just because I said so, he would give it to you? If he hated you and didn’t want you here, I wouldn’t drink it, and I would let you drink it. He would rather pour it out than let you touch it.
“Is that so? He is quite similar to Ru Xue’s temperament, isn’t he?” I said, touching my chin. In fact, compared to Ru Xue, Wang Feng is even better. Could it be that when Ru Xue reaches a certain age, her temperament will also become like this? So-called interpersonal relationship ‘cleanliness’?
I was thinking about it, and Jenny was sitting on the chair in a very unpresentable manner and said, “This time, you’re lucky. Wang Feng has a complete set of medicinal materials here, and there is a lot of stock. He can make dozens of supplements for this prescription. Wait a minute, he will take your pulse to see how many supplements you need to recover, and then give you as much as you need. This is to repay you for the prescription. He doesn’t like to owe people.”
I was anxious to hear Jenny’s words, because the main reason I got this prescription was not because of me, but to nourish the soul of Yuan Yi. I couldn’t help but say in a louder voice, “Jenny, can I have more pills? If not, I’ll eat less, and I’d rather not be completely recovered, because this prescription is mainly for another person. I can’t be such a villain!”
“Oh, is that so?” Jenny looked at me in surprise.
“Yes, this prescription is…” At this time, I didn’t care about many things, and I told Jenny the story behind this prescription. After listening, Jenny scratched her hair anxiously and said, “When Wang Feng doesn’t give face, even I can’t persuade him. Yuan Yi is still a good kid. How did Old Man Yuan end up in that space? Well, let’s not talk about that. We’ll just have to wait until Wang Feng finishes mixing the pills. He’s a difficult person to read. He might give you all the pills without hesitation, or he might throw them away in a fit of anger and refuse to give them to you. At worst, he might say, “I won’t use this prescription again. We’ll talk about it then.”
While talking, Jenny sister again anxiously grabbed her hair, and she looked more manly than a man. I was stunned and watched as Jenny sister slammed the table and yelled at me, “What are you looking at? My heart is as warm and gentle as jade!”
I didn’t dare to speak, but Jenny, is “warm and gentle like jade” a description of a man?
