“I brought car sickness medicine.” Kang Weizhen took out a small bag.
Sheng Yuxi took the medicine and placed it under his tongue. After resting for a while, he felt much better and got into the car again.
Following that, the road became more and more difficult to traverse. When they passed through the mountain range, the road was winding.
The medicine for car sickness was no longer effective.
Bai Luan Village was rather remote. No planes or trains could reach that place, so they had to drive.
Sheng Yuxi’s expression was visibly ugly. He leaned against the back of the chair weakly, looking lifeless.
Kang Weizhen and Sheng You were worried sick. Kang Weizhen even suggested, saying, “Yuxi, the road ahead will be more difficult. Your father and I have been there before. Why don’t you alight here? I’ll get someone to pick you up. They’ll be here soon.”
“No!” Sheng Yuxi was exceptionally stubborn about this. He forced himself to sit up and pretended to be energetic. “I must go.”
Sheng Hanjing looked at him with deep worry in his eyes. In order to make his younger brother feel better, he let his younger brother lie down on his knees and patted him gently.
Sheng Hanjing’s care and concern made Sheng Yuxi feel slightly better. Unfortunately, it didn’t really do much.
Sheng Yang stared at him, deep in thought. For the rest of the journey, she just stared at the road. After a while, she suddenly said softly, “Stop the car.”
Kang Weizhen and Sheng You were both shocked. Could Yangyang also be carsick?
However, they still obediently stopped the car.
Sheng Yang pushed open the car door and got out of the car. Her gaze then landed on the little flowers and grass by the roadside.
No one knew what she was up to, but they waited patiently.
Sheng Yang followed the path and took a few more steps. Logically speaking, it should be in this area. She searched carefully when her eyes lit up.
She plucked a small white flower.
She handed the flower to Sheng Yuxi. “Spit out the medicine for car sickness and chew this flower before swallowing it.”
“Sister, you want me to eat flowers?” Sheng Yuxi, who was not very good at the Chinese language, suddenly thought of an idiom—’A cow chews a peony.’
No one said anything, but they all looked confused.
However, Sheng Yuxi did not say a word. He obediently spat out the medicine for car sickness and picked up the delicate flower. He was going to eat it, but his expression was a little strained.
To be honest, this was his first time eating flowers. He found it hard to accept it.
The flower probably wouldn’t taste good.
But since his sister told him to do so, he would swallow it!
“Ugh…” His expression was a little ferocious, but he would still eat the flower. He planned to swallow the flower all at once. In the end, when the tip of his tongue accidentally slid across the delicate flower petal, he felt that it was firm to the touch and seemed very chewy.
With the thought of giving it a try, he took a bite.
Wow! Fresh juice immediately gushed out. It was as sweet and sour as juice.
He chewed and chewed as if he was addicted. However, he didn’t manage to chew twice before the flower melted in his mouth.
Everyone looked worriedly at Sheng Yuxi, thinking that he was enjoying himself in the midst of suffering… However, he suddenly extended his hand toward Sheng Yang and blinked innocently. “Can I have another one?”
Sheng Yang: “…”
Although there was no harm in eating this type of medicinal herb, and there were even people who treated it as a snack, eating flowers still went against common sense. So…
