A night of silence.
Stay in the hospital until it gets slightly brighter.
Jun Bubai dispersed his sword intent, rolled up the scattered wine jars with his sleeves, and piled them under the eaves where the empty wine jars were stored in the corner.
The waiters who had been keeping vigil all over the place had retired one after another at night, looking for food in the kitchen. They nodded to him and were dismissed by him.
Thin porridge with fish fillets and a plate of warm beef with soy sauce. The guys warmed their stomachs, washed away the fatigue of the night, and fell asleep together.
In front of the kitchen door, the petite Mingyue was munching on soy sauce beef. She didn't fetch water to wash her face, nor did she look in the mirror. Her face was smeared with plant ash. She stood in the slightly bright light, and the light passed through the tips of her hair. A few withered grasses were growing on her face. Her head swaggered wildly.
Jun Bubai smiled, "Why didn't you go back to your room to sleep?"
Mingyue finished swallowing the soy beef in her mouth, lowered her head, looked at the shadow at her feet, and replied, "I can't sleep, my chest hurts."
Jun Bubai swept away the loneliness and desolation downstairs, and comforted him softly, "When you finish the business in Suzhou and go to Jinling, things will naturally get better."
Mingyue hummed, walked out of the light and shadow, and flew up to the eaves. Her whole body was bathed in the light. The skylight was soft and warm, just like when she was a child, she felt as comfortable as lying in her mother's arms.
Wearing a green shirt, she came uninvited. The timid little girl beside her stuck her head out and looked around. She had never been out of Taihu Lake. It was her first time to go out today. Everything was so new.
Jun Bubai stood up to greet her, "Why do you have time to bring her here today?"
Xie Husheng ducked down in front of the stone table in the courtyard, as casually as if he were back in his own courtyard, "She wanted to eat lotus root fish, but I don't know how to cook it, so I came to see you."
Jun Bubai's eyes were calm and he glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu. The little girl hid behind Xie Husheng and timidly exposed half of her head.
Jun Bubai stretched out his waist and stretched his muscles, yawned and said: "The lotus flower fish only grows on the fairy island in Taihu Lake. It's hard for a clever woman like you to make a meal without rice. If you want to eat fish, remember to bring the fish."
It took some time to go back and forth. Xie Husheng smelled the smell of porridge in the kitchen, touched his almost shriveled belly and said, "Then let's have some porridge to fill our stomach. When it's noon, I'll go back to Taihu Lake to catch a few for you."
Jun Bubai stood in the courtyard concentrating his sword skills, and said lazily: "The porridge is in the pot, go and serve it yourself. If you think the porridge is bland, there are also soy sauce beef and pickled cabbage heads."
Not even bothering to say polite words, Xie Husheng darted to the kitchen. The sound of clinking pots and pans disappeared for a while. After a pause, he came out with two bowls of fish fillet porridge, one large and one small. The small bowl was placed on the table. In front of Jiang Xiaoyu, the older one kept the drink for himself. Without taking the bamboo chopsticks, he went back to the kitchen and searched around. He found two pairs of bamboo chopsticks that he liked, and then cut a plate of warm beef with soy sauce and a plate of pickles. head out. The beef with soy sauce was pushed to where Jiang Xiaoyu could reach, and the pickled cabbage head was left to serve with the porridge.
Jiang Xiaoyu immersed herself in eating the porridge calmly. She had never eaten such rare things as soy sauce beef. She tentatively picked up a chopstick and licked the taste with her tongue. It was rich in soy sauce and a little bitter in the medicinal soup. It was not as tender as fish fillets. Hua, I wanted to give it up and not eat it, but I was not at home, so I bite the bullet and ate the piece of beef with soy sauce and never touched it again.
The inconspicuous pickle head at Tianxialou is also very delicious. It is salty and crispy when chewed. Xie Husheng used the pickle head to serve the fish fillet thin porridge, burped, wiped it off with his sleeve, and said: "You have something in this building?" There are no vacant guest rooms, I want to take her to live here for a while."
Both the Invisible Sword Intention and the Wild Sword Intention were practiced in a circle. Jun Bubai concentrated and asked: "Did something happen to Taihu Fairy Island?"
Xie Husheng stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of beef that Jiang Xiaoyu didn't eat. The beef in the restaurant was mostly old cows and sick cows. Although it was boiled with old soup herbs, the taste was still not as good as fresh products such as fish, shrimp and crab. He chewed it for a few times and swallowed it. "April and May from Mingyue Tower came to visit me. My fists are no match for four. I don't trust her staying on the island."
Jun Bubai took a few steps closer and sat down in front of the stone table. Yesterday he bumped into April and May on the eaves. Although they had not met each other, he knew about them and whispered softly: "My junior sister went to Jinling last night. This room happens to be empty, so let the little girl settle there first. But there was an incident in Tianxialou yesterday, and if you go out, there won't be anyone to accompany her. "
Xie Husheng rolled two more slices of soy sauce beef and threw it into his mouth, saying disdainfully: "The people the Wang family is looking for are also here to cause trouble downstairs."
Jun Bubai was unusually calm. He turned his head slightly and looked at the eaves. The bright moon stood in the light on the eaves and gnawed on the piece of soy beef in his hand. "Five came, and three died."
Xie Husheng followed Jun Bubai's gaze and saw that the girl eating soy sauce beef on the eaves looked familiar. He couldn't help but ask, "She is also from your world."
Jun Bubai smiled miserably and said: "The one I picked up to light the fire a few days ago is now my junior sister's best friend. My junior sister was picked up by my uncle to go to Jinling last night and I didn't tell her. She is currently sulking."
Xie Husheng's expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "The river of swords covering the sky in Suzhou City last night was the God of Swords!"
Jun Bubai's ears were shaking so much that they hurt. He rubbed the ear that was very close to Xie Husheng and affirmed, "Who else has such a skill besides him?"
Xie Husheng fell on the stone chair, looking slightly disappointed, and sighed, "I thought it was your state of selflessness."
Jiang Xiaoyu had finished her fish fillet porridge, pushed the soy beef toward Xie Husheng's hand, jumped off the stone chair, looked for a bluestone in the open space in the courtyard that could stabilize her horse's steps, and practiced the boxing that Xie Husheng taught her. .
The bright moon munching beef on the eaves was attracted by the little man practicing boxing in the courtyard. She lowered herself to the eaves and watched the warm light in front of the pillars.
Jun Bubai stood up and put a hand on Xie Husheng's shoulder, "We will meet you again when we go to Jinling. Since you are here, watch for me when I get downstairs in a few days. I have to go out."
Xie Husheng put away his disappointment, swept away Jun Bubai's hand hanging on his shoulder, nodded in agreement, turned around and looked at Jiang Xiaoyu's boxing, picking out any shortcomings.
Jiang Xiaoyu's fists have not yet taken shape, but they are somewhat fierce. Jun Bubai stared at them for a moment, walked to the corridor pillar, stood in front of Mingyue, and asked softly: "Are you going to Shennong's Hospital with me?" Please stay here with them."
Mingyue avoided her gaze, not daring to look directly at her. She shook her head and replied, "Wanwan is not in the hospital. It's boring to go there. I'm here. If I'm hungry, I'll have some beef with soy sauce."
Jun Bubai raised his sword in the air, turned around and said: "I will be back before lunch. If you are sleepy, just go back to the house and sleep for a while. Lord Xie Lake is better than me. With him here, you can rest assured."
When she was dressed in white and flew away, the bright moon covered her cheeks, her skin became slightly hot, and she hid in the shadows.
Sun Miaoshou was tired all night yesterday. Shennong Medical Clinic could not open today, and the front door was full of patients seeking medicine.
Jun Bubai landed gracefully in the courtyard. Rows of medicinal soup were still brewing under the eaves, filling the hall with a bitter color.
Zheng Yidao, the butcher, was usually very busy, but he was not good at such delicate work as twisting needles. His feet were in a mess, and he could not distinguish his original appearance, except for the few cans of soup that could still get into his eyes.
Sun Miao was resting his mind on the lounge chair under the eaves. After a hard night's work, his whole complexion became much older, his beard and hair were withered and dull.
Hearing someone falling in the courtyard, Sun Miao raised his eyes. The sky was overwhelming and stung his eyes. He hurriedly blocked it with his sleeves and robes. He waited for a moment to let his eyes adapt to the skylight. Then he removed his sleeves and robes, stroked his beard and stepped out of the lounge chair. He stood up and played a set of five-animal tricks to soothe the squeaking joints all over his body. "I'm old and can't stay up late at night. Now that you're here, this backyard will be handed over to you. I still have to sit in the hall for consultation. Those who ask for medicine Patients cannot afford to be delayed."
Sun Miao took out a refreshing pill and fed it into his mouth. Although he was very tired, he could not neglect his duty of prescribing and treating diseases. He took out a few silver needles and inserted them into his hair, which made him clear-headed for a few hours.
Before Jun Bubai could finish the etiquette, Sun Miaoshou left everyone in the first courtyard and walked to the front hall to call the waiter to open the restaurant.
Across several hospital walls, one could hear the roaring voices and sudden silence in front of the hospital.
Qu Xiefeng walked out of Xie Lingyuan's room holding a copper basin in his hand. When he saw Jun Bubai, he bent down and saluted. The water in the copper basin in his hand was undulating and swaying.
Although he is an outsider, he can still be used as a servant in the building these days. Jun Bubai said politely: "Have you had breakfast?"
Qu Xiefeng raised his head and said with a smile: "The medical clinic cooked a refreshing soup this morning. After drinking two bowls, I feel refreshed."
The kitchen in the medical center facing the sunrise has long since stopped smoking, but you can still smell the strong smell of medicine in the stove. Eating is like taking medicine. How can ordinary people not bear such hard training? Jun Bubai couldn't hide his smile and joked Said: "Isn't it as torture as taking medicinal soup?"
Being in other people's world, I still have to praise a few words. Qu Xiefeng's face remained unchanged and he said seriously: "The taste is a bit bad, but it is indeed refreshing."
"Old Qu, you've never been really hungry, and your soup is watery. There's no point in refreshing yourself. You have to fill your stomach."
On the outer wall of the backyard, on a shabby mat at the base of the wall, the lazy Shen Hong Buping was full of complaints. He grabbed the fleas on his body and stuffed them into his mouth to beat his teeth as a sacrifice.
I didn't go to the hospital all night. I drank a lot of soup early in the morning. I was so hungry that my eyes were dizzy and I couldn't hold the broom firmly.
Qu Xiefeng didn't want to coddle him and scolded him through the wall: "You are just a starving Tuosheng. Grandma Luo baked all the cakes into your dog's belly. It's not enough."
Hong Bending's eyes squinted and his mouth tilted, and he scratched his round belly, "The cake is so mushy and hard that I won't even feed it to the dog. I might as well go and get some heat from my mouth."
Listening to the conversation between the two, Luo Qing, the Jade Hand, came over. Jun Bubai asked anxiously: "When did Granny Luo come?"
Qu Xiefeng raised his head and looked at the skylight, and calculated the time, "I came here two hours ago, delivered some cakes, and then left for Yangzhou. Before I left, I asked me to bring something to the host. Who have you found?" Went to Jinling last night."
Yangzhou? Didn't Shen Qinglan go to Jinling? Why did Mrs. Luo change her route to Yangzhou? Jun Bubai asked in confusion: "What did the old lady go to Yangzhou for?"
Qu Xiefeng didn't hide her kindness yesterday, and replied quickly: "She will not go to Jinling until she sees off the Shen family master."
Jun Bubai reached out with his consciousness and saw that Shen Wanjing's wing was empty. When he withdrew his gaze, he unconsciously glanced at the wing in the depths. He was a little curious about the fate of the poor man and woman, "What are you going to do with those two people?"
Qu Xiefeng told the truth: "My mother-in-law has handed over this matter to Daddy Gu. Daddy Gu means to wait until the two of them wake up before making a decision."
Outside the city of Suzhou, old man Gu carried his iron spear and rode an ox slowly on the field ramparts, surrounded by streets, fireworks, and barking dogs.
The fields are arranged neatly in all directions. The autumn rice is almost withered and yellow, and the wind is blowing up and down, which is intoxicating to the world.
Luo Qing, a sapphire hand with a pure body, stretched out his hand to caress the wheat waves, rubbed a handful of rice that was pleasant to look at, crushed it into tender pieces in the palm of his hand, pinched it on his fingertips, and looked at the crystal clear fullness of the rice toward the sun.
The old lady smiled, lowered her head, and shifted her gaze. She saw withered yellow and abundant rice. "The crops are growing really well this year."
Old Man Gu shouted, stopped the cattle, and dug his spear into the ground. The general was late, and there was no handsome flag hanging on the head of the spear. His winding eyes were drooping, "The crops next year will definitely grow better than this year."
Luo Qing, a man with green jade hands, put the handful of rice into the sachet and laughed softly: "That girl Niao Niao wrote a letter a few days ago asking when grandpa will come back."
Old Man Gu laughed and sighed: "Sister-in-law, you and I are really old. In a blink of an eye, my granddaughter is about to leave the palace."
The old lady looked sad and responded in a low voice, "Yes, I am getting old, and I don't know when I will be able to have a grandson."
Old Man Gu drew his gun and shot down a sparrow that was stealing food, "Come on, when he takes over Chang'an, we can also take off our shackles and be free."
The old lady frowned and looked gloomy, "If you and I leave, even if we have to leave him alone to guard Chang'an."
Old Man Gu knew the old lady's melancholy. He looked into the distance and clenched the spear in his hand. "You have to let him go through the thorns on his own. You and I can't protect him for too long. He is destined to be alone on this journey back to Chang'an." Only then can we finish.”
There were horses neighing in the distance, and several carriages from Guinong Villa were parked in the shade. In the carriage with a heavy gauze curtain hanging in the middle of the carriage, Shen Wanjing, who had been sleeping for many days, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the roof of the carriage.
