The Whispering Wind Sword

37. Sleep Medicine

―Until tomorrow Ding Tao, congratulations on your victory. Now rest well, said they.

―Thank you for all your attention. Until tomorrow, replied Ding Tao who only now felt how much his power was completely drained.

As soon as he closed the door, Ding Tao poured his body over the bed. His entire bones and muscles felt powerless. For a moment the young man had not closed his eyes, the events of the night were completely beyond his shadow.

Although Gu Tong Dang had convinced the young man many times that his knowledge had advanced greatly, it was never imagined by him that he would be able to defeat older figures like Wang Sanbo, who was not the only one who could be seen, Zhang Zhiyi let alone Tiong Fa. Even the great Lord Huang Jin also admitted that almost all of the Huang family science had been mastered perfectly.

Sighing happily the young man felt how tired he was now, his eyes began to sleepy and he almost closed his eyes when a gentle knock was heard on the door of his room.

With laziness the young man rose, for a moment just looked at the door of his room, hoping that the one who knocked on the door would leave after not being answered for some time.

But his hope was not fulfilled, even after several knocks without answer, a soft voice called out, saying,

―Ding Tao... Ding Tao.... have you slept?‖ermark

His voice was soft, but it was even more meaningful than knocking at the door as loud as it was, because it was Huang Ying Ying. A smile emerged from Ding's face

Tao, all laziness and fatigue seemed to disappear when he heard the voice of the girl. Even now he was afraid that the girl really thought that she had gone to bed and left.

Quickly he answered,

―Wait, I haven't slept.‖ermark

Rushing he opened the door, in front of Huang Ying Ying was already waiting with a pampered sullen face,

―Hiih... You said you haven't slept, then why don't you open the door soon.‖ermark

While scratching his non-itchy head, Ding Tao replied,

―Ah...I'm sorry Sister Ying, I didn't know that you were knocking on the door.‖ermark

―If you knew it was me, would you open the door?‖, reuters, the girl asked spoiledly while bowing her head and face reddish.

―Sure..yel…‖

For a moment the two stood silent with their hearts pounding.

It was usually Huang Ying Ying who chattered nonstop and Ding Tao stayed chimed in, but this time the girl was not as lively as usual.

Finally Huang Ying Ying raised her face, with a look of concerned eyes she asked,

―Ding Tao, how about your wound?‖ermark

Sensing how much attention Huang Ying Ying was in, the half pain she felt seemed to have healed, with a horse's grin she replied,

―Not too much trouble, only it feels like my body is so tired that's all. Sleep a little, tomorrow will be better.‖ermark

―Huuh... You guys are boys, always take the wound lightly. Here I bring you medicine, you drink this package, then do some breathing exercises. Then after that drink from the other package before going to bed. Do you have any tools to cook this medicine?‖ermark

―There... there..youth,.y…‖,

How moved Ding Tao was to see the magnitude of Huang Ying Ying's attention, the girl's hand was held and she was so grateful,

―Adik Ying.‖ermark

Huang Ying Ying who was clasped in her hands, lowered her head in embarrassment, her heart fluttering. He would pull his hand and run, but his body felt weak.

―That's... that was dad's message to me. I need to get back quickly.‖,erm, irm

he said, when he finally managed to calm his heart.

The conscious Ding Tao had already grasped the girl's hand quickly let go, letting go,

―Ah right, it's night. It's good that Sister Ying quickly return to your room.‖ermark

―Until tomorrow Brother Ding.‖ermark

―Yes, until tomorrow.‖ermark

Mixed feelings of both, there is a sense of pleasure, but also there is a sense of heaviness because they have to separate. Ding Tao stood alone waiting in front of the door until Huang Ying Ying disappeared around the corner. Before disappearing, the girl still had time to turn around once more then wave her hand.

Somewhat long Ding Tao was stuck looking at the empty street, when he finally closed the door to see the package of medicine in his hand.

Recalling Huang Ying Ying's gentle hand carrying the package wholeheartedly he then clenched and inhaled deeply the fragrance of the two medicinal packets.

If only it were true that the two medicinal packets smelled fragrant, fragrant of Huang Ying Ying, but the name of the medicinal herb rarely smelled fragrant. And the two packets of medicine were not one that smelled fragrant, arguably the two packets were the most smelly example of all kinds of drugs that smell.

Ding Tao almost vomited.

But even the smell of medicine could not make the young man stop smiling. While attacking the water and cooking the medicine, the young man slowly muttered the love song that was being sung by many people.

When one drug is ready and finished drinking, the second packet is cooked.

While waiting for the medicine to be ready, he began to meditate, cultivate and gather pure air in his body. The medicine that Huang Ying Ying gave, was really good. Slowly his body became more and more fresh, the flow of pure air in his body also more smoothly. If after the collision his blood flow had felt a little chaotic and obstructed, then now he could feel his blood flow recovering.

Just his fatigue did not go away, despite feeling a little astonished, Ding Tao guessed that it was because he was squeezing too much energy, far beyond his own consideration.

Maybe because it was carried away by the atmosphere and tension, so that this fatigue was not felt before.

Feeling that the longer it got harder for him to concentrate, this young man finally chose to end his meditation, too risky if he forced himself.

Finally, this young man also chose to be pensive, looking at the medicine that was being cooked. Several times his head nosedived almost to sleep, but considering the kindness Huang Ying Ying represented by the medicine, let alone a little drowsiness, if asked to train the horses while pinching 2 buckets of water for 2 hio sticks it might be lived.

Smiling at the young man, he stared at the boiling water and the distinctive smell of medicinal herbs that burst out from within the pot.

Finally after waiting for a long time, ready also the drug to be drunk, carefully, blown the potion is still hot, then slowly eased. After taking the drug, then his body felt very comfortable and the head felt more and more floating.

Plopping himself onto the bed, Ding Tao muttered,

―Their medicine is for my sleep.‖ermark
