Chapter 51 – Difficult to understand
The name "Falling Pear Blossoms" sounds like a type of wine, or perhaps a sweet yet not cloying dessert.
At first glance, it evokes poetic imagery.@@novelbin@@
Pear blossoms bloom, spring brings rain. Pear blossoms fall, spring sinks into the mud.
But only one person knows, it is actually a poison.
Chu Liuxue is a prodigy in pharmaceuticals; she has concocted numerous potions in the village to save the Scholar.
Falling Pear Blossoms was merely an accidental failure. She tasted it once, fainted for half a day, and never touched it again.
Later, the old servant left, and the Scholar passed away. Left alone and desolate, she thought perhaps no one should live, and rummaged through her things to find it again.
There was an old hen in the yard, and Chu Liuxue, disregarding the hen's wishes, decided to take it along.
On the first day, the hen drank a sip of the potion, and so did she. The hen didn't faint, but she did, though she survived by luck.
On the second day, the hen drank one sip, and she drank two. The hen was fine, but she fainted for three days straight, yet didn't die.
What do you think?
