Xiao Shi agreed. After watering the cactus, she heard a cheerful voice say, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
She abruptly sat up. How many times had she been hallucinating? It didn't make any sense!
"Madame Xiu, what's wrong?"
Madame Xiu, who had been unconscious for many days, suddenly got out of bed and stared at the cactus for a long time with only her undergarments on. She suddenly asked, "Hey, what kind of demon are you?"
Xiao Shi was speechless. She then suddenly ran out and shouted, "Someone, quickly call the doctor from the pharmacy. Madame Xiu … Madame Xiu is a little strange."
Bai Xiangxiu only felt a headache coming on. What was wrong with her? Obviously, she was fine.
"I'm not a demon, I'm a cactus. I'm Huo Xiao."
A cute voice sounded. Bai Xiangxiu jumped away in fright. She suddenly felt that something was really wrong with her, because she seemed to think that the cactus in front of her was talking to her.
"You … you … It's none of your business. I think I should go see a doctor."
Bai Xiangxiu directly returned to the bed and lay on it, waiting for the doctor to come see her. However, she felt that it was indecent and reached out to cover herself with the blanket.
"Master, Xiao Huo is very comfortable today. Xiao Huo wants to bask in the sun." A cheerful voice sounded. Bai Xiangxiu felt that her illness was getting worse.
Not long after, the doctor entered the courtyard. Because he was very old, he didn't adhere to the rules.
Bai Xiangxiu directly threw her arm out and said, "Doctor, I'm having hallucinations. I keep feeling like someone is talking to me in my head. Quickly see if I'm crazy."
The old doctor's mouth twitched. He'd never seen a madwoman admit that she was crazy so easily.
After checking her pulse, he smiled and said, "Madame Xiu's illness has basically recovered. She just needs to take a few more doses of medicine and she'll be fine."
Really, she actually came to find him in such a hurry, but she was completely fine.
He happily prescribed the medicine, then left with his medical bag.
Bai Xiangxiu was still lying on the bed. She said, "Doctor, please don't leave. I'm really sick."
The voice in his head was still saying, "I'm not human. I'm Xiao Huo. I'm Xiao Huo. Xiao Huo is a cactus."
Who had ever seen a talking cactus? She had never seen one before.
Xiao Shi didn't know what to do at this time, but when she heard the doctor say that Madam was fine, she was relieved.
He thought that it was probably because he was too frightened and was a little abnormal. He might be fine after some time.
Bai Xiangxiu went 'crazy' for two whole days. It was only when the news of her going crazy spread out that she finally accepted reality.
Wasn't it just a cute cactus that could talk? And only she could hear it.
As long as she pretended not to hear him, wouldn't he still be a complete person?
Moreover, Xiao Huo was really a cactus, a cactus that didn't know anything.
It slept for about twenty hours a day and woke up for four hours, so she didn't find it very annoying.
Now, she was annoyed by another thing. She couldn't go home after being pricked by the cactus. Was it because the time and place was wrong?
That day, she tried pricking the same place at the same time, but she couldn't go home even when she bled.
Did that mean that she had to wait for the same day next year?
After asking Xiao Shi, she found out that the day was a little different because it was the Ghost Festival every year.
Did she really have to wait for the Ghost Festival next year and prick the same time again to go home?
But when she thought about how she might be beaten to death a year later, her heart was really flustered.
The situation that day was still vivid in her mind. She was really scared.
She had to think of a way to avoid this kind of thing from happening. This year, she had to hug a thick thigh to avoid disaster.
This way, even if she couldn't go back, she could at least live well, right?
As for the idea of coming to ancient times to find a handsome man to date, it was really too unrealistic. It was better not to think about it.
But who should she hug this thigh?
The male lead — —
Definitely not. When she thought of him, Bai Xiangxiu's legs and stomach cramped.
The old madame — —
Definitely not. When she thought of him, the effect was the same as that of her son Li Of Gojoseon.
Thinking about it, ever since she transmigrated, she seemed to have only seen the first male supporting lead, Song Jiaoyue.
Song Jiaoyue was very gentle both inside and outside. If the male lead was fire, then he was water. If the male lead was the scorching sun, then he was the cold moon.
Moreover, his family background was not bad, so he could compete with the male lead.
The other male supporting leads were a little weak. Even if she hooked up with them, they couldn't compete with the male lead.
If it was Song Jiaoyue, with his relationship with the male lead, it would be easy for him to get her out.
Moreover, he was a loyal person. Although he also had concubines at home, as long as he fell in love with a woman, he would be like the male lead. He could basically ignore those people.
In addition to these, Song Jiaoyue was very gentle with women. He definitely wouldn't do something like beating them to death.
Therefore, after thinking about it, she felt that if she wanted to hug his thigh, he was the only one she could choose.
As for how to hug him, she could only give herself to him. Could it be that she could still be friends with men like in the modern world?
Pure friendship between men and women was rare even in the modern world, let alone in the ancient world.
Bai Xiangxiu thought about it for a long time. In the end, she decided to pursue Song Jiaoyue.
She would let him escape the fate of being alone, and she wouldn't have to worry about being beaten to death.
In any case, the male lead only wanted to get this group of concubines out of the house. If someone asked him for her, he would immediately offer her to Song Jiaoyue with both hands!
But the premise was how to pursue him.
Song Jiaoyue liked the female lead because she was famous for her talent. After meeting her at the male lead's house, he heard her sing a song while playing the piano. From then on, he fell deeply in love with her.
Therefore, Song Jiaoyue liked a woman not because of her appearance, but because of her talent.
Bai Xiangxiu rubbed her chin. Where was her talent? She only knew how to play with flowers and plants!
But if she wanted to get close to Song Jiaoyue, she had to be talented first. This was the most important thing.
She thought about it and decided to first look through the poems here. Then, she would look through history to see if there were any transmigrated seniors who had stolen all the poems.
She didn't want to throw out a song at any time and cause others to say that she had pirated it. That would be terrible.
Thus, she began to study diligently, comparable to when she took the college entrance exam.
Xiao Shi watched as her master immersed herself in books all day long. She read from morning to night, and didn't even comb her hair or wash her face. She seemed to be engrossed.
Were the books really that good?
After reading the books, she thought that she would be back to normal for a few days. Who knew that her master would start practicing calligraphy again?
Again, she practiced from morning to night. When she was tired, she tied the pen to her finger and continued writing.
Xiao Shi had never seen such a masochistic master. She was really frightened.
And the people below said that Madame Xiu was so scared that she went crazy. Her behavior was very strange.
When Li Of Gojoseon heard about this again, it was already two months later. After the old madame told him, she said, "I'll send someone to take a look later. If she's really crazy, send her to the nunnery to recuperate. She might be able to recover with the help of Buddha's power."
Long Heng nodded in agreement. When he left the old madame's place, he felt that it was somewhat unreal.
The lively girl from that day had gone crazy just like that?
He hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still walked towards Winter Garden.
