Chapter 277 - Locust in his stomach
Chapter 277: Locust in his stomach
Hu Feng suddenly smiled, it’s very rare for his row of white teeth to show.
This was not the first time Bai Zhi saw Hu Feng smiled, but it was his first time to see his white teeth.
“You look very good when you smile, you should smile more. Why do you keep showing a cold face all day long?”
The smile on Hu Feng’s face gradually disappeared, but there’s still smile in his eyes.
“Do you know why I smile?” he asked.
Bai Zhi shook her head and continued working. Then, she put the finished buns into the bamboo steamer: “I don’t know, I’m not a locust in your stomach.”
Hu Feng picked up two dry wood and threw it into the stone stove. He said in a low voice: “You don’t know, maybe you will know later.”
Bai Zhi put the bamboo steamer into the cooking pot. The water in the pot has been boiling and the steam kept rising.
She patted away the white powder in her palms and asked Hu Feng, who was sitting on the stool and looking at the fire: “Can’t you still remember anything?”
The faint smile on Hu Feng’s face suddenly solidified. He didn’t try to think about anything, but today, when Bai Zhi and Meng Nan mentioned something about the palace. He had some reaction, he was not sure about it though.
Seeing Hu Feng’s appearance, Bai Zhi was overjoyed. She asked: “Do you sometimes feel like, you’ve remembered something, but you can’t picture it out clearly? Or something past through your mind, but you can’t grasp it?”
Hu Fengyi was shocked: “How did you know?” Is she really a locust in his stomach? This kind of feeling, he, himself cannot identify it, so how did she know?
Bai Zhi replied: “I am your doctor, I know your situation more than anyone else. The congestion in your brain begun to slowly disperse, so the oppressed memory in your brain is now gradually recovering. This is a very important process. Your recovery might take a long time or you might recover quickly. It depends on your ability.”
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, then said: “Of course, I can also give you a little push, so that it won’t take you a long time. But on how much it will shorten, I really don’t know.”
Hu Feng busily asked: “How are you going to give a little push?”
Bai Zhi smiled and said: “You are stupid, I am a doctor, naturally, I can only give you a little push by giving you needle treatment and medicine. Aside from that, what else can I do?”
“I know a prescription for dissolving the blood clot and cure its symptoms, which I didn’t give you before, because the situation is still not right. But now, I guess it’s the right time. After dawn, let’s send Meng Nan away and then let’s go to the medical museum to buy the herbs.”
Hu Feng nodded his head: “Good!” He looked calm, his eyes looked as deep as the ocean. It only flashed with thousand waves in a blink of an eye.
After steaming the buns, Bai Zhi cooked some pancakes. Then, she put the dried marinated fish and beef into a jar. With it, it can easily be carried and stored. Qingyuan Town is thousand miles away from the capital. As for how many days they will travel? She doesn’t know, so it’s still good to prepare more dry food.
When it was dawn, Bai Zhi and Hu Feng drove out with the carriage.
Jin Shiwei said they will go out of the town when the sunrise. Although it was still early, it’s still better than to be late.
When they arrived outside the town’s gate, it was still an hour away before the sunrise. The sun’s temperature during autumn was particularly hot. Hu Feng pulled the carriage under the shade of trees, and he let the horse ate some grass. He and Bai Zhi sat into the carriage frame and ate some steamed buns.
