(twenty two)
It is said that after this troubled morning, it is already past noon. After the rain, the coolness of the earth gradually faded away, and turned into annoying heat and humidity. Ordinary people can't help but sweat profusely when walking on it, let alone a doctor rushing in from the hospital carrying a medicine box.
The doctor was accompanied by a little medicine boy, both of whom were casually wearing cloth clothes with a hair tie on top. While wiping sweat, he followed the boy to Liuli Pavilion, and happened to meet Bai Feng and his party who had just arrived in front of the pavilion. Bai Feng saw that he was in a hurry and called himself a doctor. He already knew that something strange happened in the pavilion when he left.
Suddenly, several people found the whereabouts of Mei Niang. The doctor saw that the patient could not move and seemed to be dying, but his chest was still moving up and down regularly. He hurriedly ordered the medicine boy to drive the rest of the people out, indicating that he only needed to keep one maid. Although Murong Yan was not a maid, she had learned medical skills from Dr. Han for a few days, so she volunteered and told the doctor the details. The doctor nodded repeatedly, called the medicine boy again in a dry voice, and signaled to drive Bai Feng out, who had not yet arrived outside. The little medicine boy saw that the other party was armed. Don't dare to act rashly. It wasn't until Murong Yan smiled at Bai Feng, nodded, and expressed affection with her eyebrows that she was fine, that the latter left with peace of mind.
Seeing the young swordsman return, Zhao Kuo asked him how the process was. Bai Feng himself had no clue and could only reply: "It's really strange that Fu Wentao suddenly lost his evil spirit. I'm afraid only Yan'er knows the details..."
Several young men formed a small circle in the corridor outside the room, exchanging and discussing what they had seen and heard. Only Su Qing walked to the window at the end of the corridor and sat casually on the edge of the window sill, crossing her hands on her chest and looking disdainfully at the two girls not far away who were chatting about little secrets.
Zhao Xiaomei was listening to Ajuan describe the interesting things that happened earlier, and listened to the other party complaining that "Han customs" were too troublesome. For a moment, the little girl suddenly felt irritable in her heart. She glanced forward casually and met Su Qing's eyes. She was so frightened that she hurriedly used Ajuan's body to cover her provocative eyes.
Seeing this strange behavior, Ajuan asked, "What's the matter?" Then he looked in the direction indicated by the younger sister and saw Su Qing twirling his beard, pursing his lips and snickering. Ajuan remembered that the other party was treated like this when he was in Wandeng Town. He immediately protected his little sister behind him and asked loudly: "You...what are you standing there for?"
"I'm not interested in what those young masters are talking about. I'm standing here to enjoy the cool breeze. It won't bother you two, right?" When Su Qing answered, his eyes moved from the other person's feet to his face, and then he showed a malicious smile. , as if he had "see through" the girl in front of him.
"You!" Ajuan shyly covered her body with her hands, knowing in her heart that the other party only dared to be so presumptuous after knowing that she was incapable of poisoning! With no place to vent her resentment, she saw a ceramic vase standing on the wooden stand next to her. She picked it up and threw it away.
Zhao Kuo on the side just happened to see this moment, and went to stop him: "Ajuan, what are you doing?"
"He...that Su Qing, he..." After Ajuan said that, the vase in his hand was taken away and put back to its original place.
"I just responded with one sentence, how did it arouse you to this point, girl?" Su Qing said with a proud smile.
"Zhao Kuo! Then Su Qing humiliated me like this, are you going to stand there like this? You are still not a man!" Ajuan's charming voice was particularly pitiful, but Zhao Kuo really had no time to deal with such noisy matters, so he just dealt with it hastily. After a few words, he returned to the group of young men. Ajuan had no choice but to take her little sister to another place. Su Qing giggled non-stop on the side, feeling that these people were really cute, which brought her a good mood as a child.
"Uh... Everyone, I'm sorry, where did we go?" Zhao Kuo bowed his hands to the young masters and apologized.
Hu Yan seemed to be amused by the interesting story just now. He pursed his mustache-filled mouth and replied with a smile: "It talks about Lord God finding a hiding place to hide from the masters of the great eunuch."
"Oh! So, Mr. Qian wants to go with Brother Bai and me?"
Qian Xi bowed and said: "Yes, Mr. Zhao! Mei Niang has been poisoned by flower poison. I'm afraid it will take a few days before she can use her luck. It's good to go with the two of them so that they can take care of each other. After all, Yanzi Town is also my territory in Jiangzhou. I am a native of Jiangzhou, and I can act as a guide for you two!"
"Brother Bai, what do you think?" Zhao Kuo turned to Bai Feng and said, "Also, have you considered the invitation I just made?"
Bai Feng replied: "Traveling together has its own advantages. However, I always thought that Brother Zhao was traveling with me just to travel the world together. Unexpectedly..."
"Hey, I, Zhao Kuo, have been traveling all over the country since I was a child. I have seen more rivers and lakes than you, a wild man in the mountains and forests, have eaten!" Zhao Kuo said jokingly: "Now the Holy Emperor is very afraid of the forces in Beizhen, but I am just suffering from the unrest. The rebels in the west have no time to take care of both. As a native of Beizhen, His Majesty knows the heroes of Beizhen best. Therefore, one day, Beizhen will eventually usher in a war, and its scale will far exceed that of ten years ago. 'Seven Towns Rebellion'! I need talents like Brother Bai. Does Brother Bai just want to be a 'mountain villager' forever?"
"Brother Zhao, you are really..." After Bai Feng finished speaking, he smiled helplessly, then pondered for a moment, and continued: "I should wait until I have settled my worries before making any plans..."
"Mr. Bai, don't listen to my brother's nonsense. If it hadn't been for Mr. Bai on this journey, we would have been dead!" Zhao Xiaomei said sarcastically. Ajuan also joined in and said, "That's right, Mr. Zhao, apart from talking nonsense, what else can he do?"
Zhao Kuo glared at the pair of girls in the distance angrily, as if he didn't hear their words, and said back to Bai Feng: "Okay! I, Zhao Kuo, am willing to wait! I will accompany you to find that guy, and then we will go back to Yuyi together!" After Zhao Kuo finished speaking, he couldn't help but hugging Bai Feng's shoulders and arms, laughing heartily, as if his "conspiracy" had succeeded.
Tiger Eyes suddenly said with emotion: "I didn't expect that a few days ago we were enemies at war with each other, but now we have become friends. Things are unpredictable!"
"That's right! I didn't remember to settle the accounts when Brother Tiger Eye smashed my head in! Hahaha!" Zhao Kuo laughed heartily for a moment, and Mei Niang's door was slowly pushed open from the inside, and came out It's the doctor and the little medicine boy.
"My lord! Madam, did she accidentally eat poisonous flowers and weeds?" the doctor asked.
Qian Xi stepped forward and bowed, and replied: "Back to the doctor, Mei Niang did not eat any foreign objects. However, her hand was bitten by a butterfly. What is her name...'Golden Eyes'?"
The doctor was shocked and said with an almost trembling voice: "This, this, this is a poisonous insect of the Miao people! Did Mr. Qian offend someone?"
"Doctor, please don't worry about it. Let's talk about Mei Niang's illness first."
"I have used acupuncture to remove the poison on Madam. Fortunately, it is just a poison that numbs the meridians and will not harm her life. She will only have difficulty moving and lose strength within a few days."
Qian Xi bowed and replied: "Thank you so much, doctor!" After saying this, Qian Xi waved his hand and asked his servants to take the doctor to get the money, and sent him away respectfully.
At the same time, Su Qing, who had been at the end of the corridor, also walked into the crowd and bowed to everyone: "Since Mei Niang is fine, I'll take my leave first."
"Master Su, I haven't thanked you properly yet!" Qian Xi stopped him.
"Hey, no need! If Mei Niang sees me after she wakes up, I'm afraid she will be so angry that she faints again, so I'll just take a step ahead!" As soon as he finished speaking, Su Qing turned around and walked towards the corridor window. When he reached the window, he turned over and disappeared, leaving everyone behind who could not figure out the "thief".
Afterwards, the group entered the room and explained everything to Mei Niang. After hearing this, Mei Niang cursed "bastard" lightly, then smiled and shed some tears. Qian Xi winked at the rest of his friends, motioned them to go out, and called a boy, asking him to summon Mei Lan and all the talented storytellers and singers in Liuli Pavilion to explain the future plans of the Qian family. affairs.
After a few sticks of incense, night has fallen. Almost everyone gathered in the lobby on the first floor. But what is different from usual is that the door of the pavilion is closed, because tonight is a special night.
