When the others saw the two of them acting so clingy, they smiled knowingly and tactfully moved away to give the couple some s.p.a.ce.
Seeing that the surrounding people were far away, Li Xiaoran lowered her voice and said, “There’s something wrong with the thin old man who spoke to you just now. He’s someone else’s spy. He plans to pa.s.s the news of the mine to his master after going down the mountain!”
Luo Cheng immediately understood.
Luo Cheng said calmly, “Xiaoran, look, this medicine is called Red Heavens. It’s only found in the Tibetan area. I didn’t expect to find it here! This is definitely a high-grade herb!”
“So Red Heavens is like this?” Li Xiaoran exclaimed.
After Luo Cheng observed his surroundings, he lowered his voice and said,
“Help me keep an eye on him. If there’s anything unusual, tell me immediately.
I’ll get someone to secretly keep an eye on him!”
Li Xiaoran nodded and patted her chest at Luo Cheng to show that she understood.
Next, Luo Cheng continued to talk about the medicinal properties of Red Heavens. Li Xiaoran also listened attentively.
After Li Xiaoran found Red Heavens, she seemed to have activated her good luck.
In the next four hours, Luo Cheng and the others encountered many rare herbs.
Because these herbs grew by absorbing the essence of the world, they were naturally more effective than those artificially planted herbs.
Even Luo Cheng, who had seen many good herbs, looked happy when he saw the herbs he had dug up.
After glancing at Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng suddenly wanted to laugh.
He knew very well that Li Xiaoran disapproved of the idea of her being a lucky charm and felt that she was a very ordinary person.
However, every time she went out, she would encounter a lot of good things, which confirmed that she was a lucky person.
It was better not to mention this. If Li Xiaoran heard this, she would be angry again.
Thinking of this, Luo Cheng looked at the thin old man not far away.
Now that there was a spy here, Li Xiaoran’s good luck shouldn’t be revealed.
With this in mind, Luo Cheng called Luo Ziyang and Li Xiao Qing over and reminded them not to let it slip.
“As expected, we’re lucky whenever we’re with the consort!”
As soon as she said this, Shu Ruyue immediately received Luo Cheng’s death stare.
Shu Ruyue immediately realized something and quickly shut up.
“Why did you say that the consort has good luck? It was clearly because of me! My mentor said that after my bad luck dissipated, with the help of a benefactor, everything would turn for the better. Therefore, I must have been lucky and used the good luck I had acc.u.mulated in the past to this place!” Wu Qinghe said righteously.
“Yes, yes, yes. You’re right. I actually spouted nonsense just now. After all, I mention the consort often! Who I wanted to mention is you, Wu Qinghe!” Shu Ruyue quickly changed her words.
When Li Xiaoran heard this, she immediately laughed.
“Speaking of which, your luck really seems to have changed! Wu Qinghe, don’t forget that you even picked up money a few days ago!”
Wu Qinghe immediately nodded when he heard this.
“That’s right. In the past, I was the one who lost money, but a few days ago, I actually picked up money! It’s simply unbelievable!”
“It’s not just money! I also saw you pick up a gold ring!” Shu Ruyue quickly reminded him.
Wu Qinghe said seriously, “Yes, yes, yes, that’s true! But I returned that golden ring to the owner later! They must have been very anxious after losing it!” The thin old man pursed his lips when he heard this.
What a fool. Even if he didn’t take the gold he picked up himself, why did he give it to the owner?! If he had encountered such a good thing, he definitely would have hidden that golden ring and exchanged it for money for his own use!
Li Xiaoran had been paying attention to the thin old man. Seeing that he didn’t take what Shu Ruyue had said to heart, she heaved a sigh of relief. Next time, she had to remind Ruyue not to mention her good luck.
If someone really heard it, she would be in trouble.
Third Master Xue didn’t notice their abnormality. At this moment, he was a little tired, so he simply sat down and took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat.
When he saw the handkerchief in his hand and the white jade orchid embroidered in the lower left corner, he was stunned.
Memories buried in his mind resurfaced.
“You like to help people so much, but you keep chasing me, like a white jade orchid. Why don’t I embroider a white jade orchid on your handkerchief?!” Yu Baifeng’s gentle voice sounded.
Third Master Xue looked up and met Yu Baifeng’s strange gaze.
“Isn’t it just a handkerchief? Is there a need to embroider a white jade orchid?” Third Master Xue only felt that it was troublesome.
Yu Baifeng looked at Third Master Xue and said sympathetically, ‘Why not?! Your handkerchief looks old. I made a lot of it, so I’ll give you a handkerchief later! You’re really pitiful. You keep helping other people all day long, but you don’t even have a wife to take care of you!”
“It’s up to you!” Third Master Xue waved his hand indifferently.
Later, Yu Baifeng secretly put the handkerchief embroidered with white jade orchids in his pocket.
By the time he realized it, he was already far away.
For some reason, Third Master Xue left this handkerchief behind.
Now that he saw this handkerchief again, Third Master Xue actually recalled this memory.
Why did he only remember this part of his memory?
Luo Cheng walked over and looked at the handkerchief in Third Master Xue’s hand as he teased, “Uncle, why are you staring at this handkerchief in a daze?
There’s even a white jade orchid on it!”
Third Master Xue was stunned for a moment before asking curiously, “What’s wrong with white jade orchids?”
“The white jade orchid means repaying kindness and sincerity. At the same time, it also has the meaning of love! Which girl gave you this token of love?” Luo Cheng teased.
When Third Master Xue heard this, he immediately felt as if he had been struck by lightning and couldn’t move.
After a while, Third Master Xue came back to his senses.
“What did you say just now? The white jade orchid means love? Where did you hear that from?”
“Of course it’s Xiaoran! Xiaoran said that every flower has its own meaning. The white jade orchid’s meaning is what I said just now! Uncle, don’t tell me you didn’t know? In that case, the girl who gave you this handkerchief probably wasted her efforts!”
Third Master Xue was a little stunned.
Could it be that Yu Baifeng was expressing her love to him?
