Tomb robber: I am the tenth of the nine gates
Chapter 273 Return to Baiqiao Village
"Xiao Ning, Xiao Ning?"
Er Yuehong looked at Chu Ning who was sleeping beside Zhang Qishan's bed, sighed helplessly, bent down and picked him up, but encountered some obstacles when he stood up.
Looking down, Er Yuehong saw Chu Ning's hand holding Zhang Qishan's index finger. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and then the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
This kid is really... a cute foul.
Zhang Qishan, who was lying on the bed, seemed to sense something. He opened his eyes and looked into Er Yuehong's eyes.
Er Yuehong did not speak, fearing that the sound of her voice would wake up Chu Ning. She and Zhang Qishan just stared at each other.
Zhang Qishan was still a little dazed. This was one of the few moments of clarity. He looked at Chu Ning sleeping in Er Yuehong's arms, holding Chu Ning's finger.
Zhang Qishan was slightly surprised, then relaxed and gently pulled his fingers out of Chu Ning's hand.
Er Yuehong looked at Zhang Qishan with a smile, and the two communicated silently.
It was as if they had just met not long ago. There was no need for them to say anything, as they both understood what the other wanted to say.
Finally, Zhang Qishan felt tired and nodded gently to Er Yuehong, then closed his eyes and fell asleep again.
Only at this moment did Er Yuehong finally let go of his worries about his friend.
At this moment, they truly felt what Chu Ning had been saying about protecting them.
Chu Ning has always been silently protecting each of them in his own way, even though they have refused Chu Ning more than once.
Time and time again, it was still Chu Ning who came to their rescue.
This silly kid is truly their little lucky star.
It was just that Er Yuehong wanted to keep all the children by herself. Seeing Chu Ning sleeping peacefully, Er Yuehong just felt that the child made her feel distressed for no reason.
……
When Chu Ning woke up in the evening, Mo Ce came in to change the medicine.
"Sister Mo? I'm fine now, really!"
Mo Ce removed the gauze and examined it carefully, and found that a scab had indeed formed.
"Okay, I'll go see my brother-in-law.
The Eighth Master, the Adjutant and the Second Master are waiting for you in the dining room.
Take your time to pack up and then go over."
Mo Ce put away the removed gauze, rubbed the child's head, turned around and left.
Chu Ning raised his hand and patted his face to wake himself up quickly, and he slept until night fell.
In the past two days, they have been on the road since they said goodbye to the chief chief from Baiqiao Village, and have not had a good rest for two days.
Chu Ning lifted the quilt, stood up, made the bed, and stood in front of the bed in a daze.
Since when did I start being able to fall into a deep sleep so peacefully?
Chu Ning looked around and couldn't help but twitch his lips. There was no cabinet in this rest room...
Chu Ning looked at the obvious traces of the wardrobe on the ground and sighed in his heart.
Those three of them really worked hard to get a good night's sleep in bed.
【dining room】
Qi Tiezui was sitting facing the door. When he saw Chu Ning appear, he raised his arm and waved.
"Xiao Ning, here, here!"
Chu Ning walked over to Qi Tiezui and sat down. Er Yuehong beside him considerately handed Chu Ning the bowl and chopsticks.
"Sister Mo isn't coming?"
"Doctor Mo has already eaten." Er Yuehong said as she picked up a piece of food for Chu Ning.
"Master Buddha's illness cannot be suppressed by Xiao Ning alone.
We still have to find the right medicine for the disease.”
Adjutant Zhang glanced at Chu Ning obliquely, and out of consideration for Chu Ning's health, he asked several people at the table.
"I don't know what's going on with the Madam. We really feel like a headless fly now."
Qi Tiezui let out a long sigh.
Chu Ning tried hard to deal with the food being fed to him by Er Yuehong and Qi Tiezui, but suddenly he thought of something and put down his bowl and chopsticks.
He stood up and walked quickly to the corner where they stored their luggage under everyone's puzzled gaze.
"Hey~ There is a medicinal herb here that is very suitable for Master Buddha's current symptoms."
Chu Ning opened the medicine box and pointed to the medicine in one of the small compartments.
The three of them came over to check it out. Er Yuehong stared at the box and said, "These are the herbs that the big boss gave you."
Chu Ning nodded, then spread his hands, "Hey, it looks like we have to take Master Buddha back to Baiqiao Village."
Qi Tiezui slapped his forehead. Adjutant Zhang looked at Qi Tiezui's red forehead and held Qi Tiezui's hand.
In order to prevent Qi Tiezui from attacking him again, he asked.
"What is Master Ba doing?"
Qi Tiezui laughed, "How could I have forgotten this? Look at my brain.
Baiqiao Village is good at making medicine. Ordinary people cannot treat Master Buddha’s illness. Maybe there is a capable person in Baiqiao Village!"
The Buddha was still asleep, and Er Yuehong had the most comprehensive information, so he made the final decision.
"Write a letter tonight and send it to Baiqiao Village so that the chieftain can help find a doctor first.
We'll take a night's rest and get up tomorrow to pack up and set off again.
If the Buddha wakes up, Xiao Ning will have to follow him. Although Baiqiao Village is a little far from Changsha City, there is no guarantee that no one will recognize him. "
Several people nodded and had no objection to Er Yuehong's arrangement. Qi Tiezui gave Er Yuehong a thumbs up.
"Now that Master Buddha has fallen, this family has to rely on Second Master to support it!"
Er Yuehong glanced at Qi Tiezui and shook his head helplessly. This old man is really...
"Then I'll go talk to Sister Mo after dinner. If Sister Mo agrees, we'll set off directly tomorrow."
Chu Ning did not forget to ask Mo Ce for his opinion. After they confirmed the next arrangements, they quickly finished dinner.
Chu Ning knocked on Mo Ce's door with a wooden face and a bitter look on his face.
When Mo Ce opened the door, he saw the child rubbing his stomach with a look of grievance.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
He brought Chu Ning into the room and was about to get the stethoscope.
Chu Ning hurriedly stopped Mo Ce and quickly explained, "No, no, Sister Mo.
I just ate too much.”
Mo Ce was stunned for a moment, then he understood, smiled and gave the digestion medicine to Chu Ning.
“You have to exercise some restraint yourself, too.
They don’t understand, and probably won’t listen even if you tell them, but you have to control yourself.”
Mo Ce stared at Chu Ning after he finished drinking the medicine and seeing that Chu Ning hadn't left yet, he knew that Chu Ning was not looking for him because he had eaten too much.
Chu Ning told Mo Ce about their next arrangements in the restaurant. Mo Ce nodded, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.
In fact, she was asked by her cousin to help, so she just had to follow them. However, these people also respected her opinions before taking action, which was something Mo Ce did not expect.
Looking at Chu Ning who came to find her, she knew that this must have been proposed by Chu Ning. She looked at Chu Ning with caring eyes, just like an older sister seeing her grown-up brother, full of nostalgia and joy.
"Okay, I'll tell those listening slaves and stick slaves to clean it up."
"Then Sister Mo, go to bed early~"
When Chu Ning waved his claws and left, he closed the door of the house.
The next day, Adjutant Zhang was a little puzzled as he watched the boxes of luggage being loaded onto the car.
"Doctor Mo, do we need to bring so much luggage to Baiqiao Village?"
"My cousin said that bringing my brother-in-law's daily necessities with me might help his condition."
"Madam is really thoughtful."
Adjutant Zhang really didn't think too much about it. He looked at Zhang Qishan, who was still unconscious but was being well taken care of.
Adjutant Zhang expressed his sincere gratitude to Mo Ce, "By the way, Doctor Mo, thank you for your hard work during this period."
Mo Ce looked at Adjutant Zhang with some surprise, as if he did not expect Adjutant Zhang to thank him.
“You still say things like that.
My cousin said that you are the same as him, both of you were born from a big ice cube. "
In the carriage, Chu Ning was sitting by the window. When he heard Mo Ce's words, he looked over at Adjutant Zhang.
Adjutant Zhang raised his hand and touched his face. Ice cubes? Anything?
Then he turned his head and looked through the window at Zhang Qishan in the carriage and said firmly, "Master Buddha, don't worry, we will definitely cure you!"
Chu Ning handed Adjutant Zhang a piece of fruit, "Don't worry, Adjutant~ I won't let Master Buddha's condition worsen!"
Adjutant Zhang nodded, casually stroked the child's head, pressed his head and pushed Chu Ning back into the car.
"Sit tight. Don't stick your head out when we run. It's dangerous."
Chu Ning smiled obediently at Adjutant Zhang, then turned around and said to Mo Ce, "It seems Sister Yue was a little mistaken.
Our adjutant has really taken good care of me and Master Ba along the way. He is not cold at all!"
There was also a smile on Mo Ce's cold face, and he shook his head when he saw Chu Ning's protective look.
Although he didn't refute the child's statement, he felt like laughing inside.
That's because Chu Ning is there to mediate between them.
During the time when Chu Ning went to the Hong Mansion, she saw very clearly that Zhang Qishan and Adjutant Zhang were completely different people from when Chu Ning was there.
【Bai Qiao Village】
After receiving the letter, the chief chief ordered the people around him to clean up a few rooms and ordered the doctor from Baiqiao Village to wait in the house.
He sent a guard with him to the village gate to pick up the group of people.
Around noon, the guards took the person directly to the room where the doctor was, and then the chief chief also stepped into the room.
"Thank you very much, Master. I will definitely repay you for saving my life."
Adjutant Zhang saluted and waved his hand towards the chieftain.
“Before, Xiao Ning, Master Ba and you all saved my life in the swamp and helped me bury my child.
I can help everyone, and it's also a token of my appreciation."
As the chief chieftain said this, he looked at Chu Ning who was next to Er Yuehong, and saw that the wound on Chu Ning's face had disappeared and there was a smile on his face.
"We don't have as many etiquette as you Han people. Since we have made friends, we will definitely help each other to the end."
The chief chief took out a wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to the doctor of Baiqiao Village.
"The situation this time is special, and we no longer have this life-saving medicine in our village.
What you are asking for involves my Bai Qiao people, and you have to deal with the Hei Qiao people, they won’t make friends with others easily.”
The chief chieftain kindly reminded Adjutant Zhang that, firstly, the medicine was not obtained from Baiqiao Village, and secondly, they needed to deal with Heiqiao Village, and Heiqiao Village and Baiqiao Village had been at odds for many years.
I'm afraid this medicine is not so easy to get.
Er Yuehong looked at the chief chieftain and said, "I have also heard about the dispute between Bai Qiao and Hei Qiao.
But if the medicine Xiao Ning mentioned is useful to Master Buddha, it doesn’t matter whether we become friends or not.
We have to meet Black Joe's people."
Er Yuehong knew these things because he had found out about them when he was on guard outside the village.
I also know that the people of Baiqiao Village are simple and honest, which is different from the people in Heiqiao Village who fight for power based on their ability.
Therefore, the people of Baiqiao hated dealing with the Heiqiao people, and over time the two villages became hostile to each other.
Er Yuehong understood Da Tusi's difficulties very well, but this time because of their friend's illness, they could only ask Da Tusi for help.
The chief chief looked up at Er Yuehong. She was tall and slender, as gentle as jade, and truly had a great appearance.
Children taught by such a person are also very good.
The chieftain nodded to show his understanding, and then expressed his concerns.
“To be honest, I suspect there is a spy from Hei Qiao in Bai Qiao Village, but he is hiding very deeply and I currently have no clues.
In less than half an hour, the news of your entry into the village will spread.
Time is urgent, I think we should discuss what to do next. "
Mo Ce stood beside Doctor Bai Qiao and turned around to talk to a few people.
"Adjutant Zhang, you guys go ahead. I'll work with the doctor to study Master Buddha's condition."
"Thank you, sister Mo!"
Chu Ning smiled and waved his paw at Mo Ce, and the four of them followed the chief chief to the reception room.
After sitting down, Chu Ning was the first to ask.
"Sister, can you tell us about this medicinal herb first?"
Qi Tiezui and Adjutant Zhang were equally curious.
The chieftain began to explain the source of the medicinal materials, "The Black Joes have always acted strangely, and in the past the Black and White Joes did not interfere with each other.
But this time, the life-saving medicine we are looking for is the 'Feixuejian' which is regarded as a sacred object by Hei Qiao.
This is a highly poisonous fruit of a plant that grows on cliffs.
It takes ten years for a flower to bloom and ten years for a fruit to bear.
The fruit falls to the ground the moment it is ripe, and there are often poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts guarding the area, so it is extremely difficult to pick it. "
After the chief chieftain finished speaking, Chu Ning looked back and forth between the three people, "Don't you think this fruit... sounds familiar?"
The chief chieftain looked at Adjutant Zhang and Qi Tiezui, and the three of them had confusion in their eyes.
A majestic figure of a righteous immortal gradually emerged in Chu Ning's mind. He shook his head, looked at the three people's puzzled expressions, and spoke loudly.
“Isn’t this just a replica of the ginseng fruit?
It will take three thousand years for the fruit to bloom, another three thousand years for it to bear fruit, and another three thousand years for the fruit to mature (a maximum of thirty ginseng fruits will appear).
But this 'Feixuejian' is poisonous and has a short growth period."
After Chu Ning finished speaking, the hall fell into dead silence. Qi Tiezui, Adjutant Zhang and the chief chief were silent for a long time. They really couldn't keep up with the child's train of thought.
In the end, it was Big Tusi who firmly changed the subject back to the original topic.
"Ahem, this 'Feixuejian' is the medicine used by the Hei Qiao people to refine top-level poisons."
After the chief chieftain finished speaking, he saw that Adjutant Zhang had a worried look on his face, so he spoke again.
"But everything in this world is interdependent and mutually exclusive. For the Buddha, this is a life-saving medicine."
Adjutant Zhang frowned and asked, "How can the leader of Hei Qiao hand over the medicine?
Is it for money or fame?"
The chieftain lowered his eyes and said, "We can't give them what they want.
Although Hei Qiao acted strangely in the past, he would not commit many evil things and bring disaster to the village.
Ever since Gongpo showed up, their ambition has been to retake the entire Baiqiao and all the surrounding small villages.
Anyone who goes against him will suffer a miserable end."
The chieftain's eyes suddenly became sad, as if he was recalling some disaster.
The three of them extracted a key figure from this passage, "Does this Gong Po have a high status in Hei Qiao Village?"
Chu Ning asked.
“She is Hei Qiao’s wizard, she has extremely high prestige and powerful magic.
Now the leader of Hei Qiao has been bewitched by her and is at her mercy."
