I am fish

Chapter 40

On the way back, Zhen Wenjun was perfunctory to Wei Tingxu. Fortunately, Wei Tingxu was probably tired and not having a good time talking. After talking with Zhen Wenjun for a while, he fell asleep on the soft bed.Lingbi put down the thin gauze curtain, and stood quietly at the side without disturbing the girl's rest, and was only responsible for guarding the charcoal fire that warmed the carriage.

Back in the mansion, Lingbi got out of the car first, and ordered the servants to bring Mr. Xu, his master and his apprentice, to see Zhen Wenjun's injuries.

Wei Tingxu was carefully sent all the way to the main courtyard in Xiaohua's arms. Lingbi looked back and saw that Zhen Wenjun got out of the car listlessly, and no sisters and elder sisters were sticking to the girl, and asked rather strangely: "What are you doing?" But there are other injuries?" Pulling Zhen Wenjun up and down to check that there are no other injuries, he asked, "Could you be scared?"

What happened today made Zhen Wenjun disheartened and exhausted.

He thought that 2 taels of silver and a few carts of grain would be enough to make Wei Tingxu treat her differently, but he never thought that not only did the other party not treat her as a sympathetic arm, but instead set up a trick to test her.Wei Tingxu's suspiciousness was far beyond her expectations, and he went back and forth hot and cold and never got close, which really chilled her and exhausted her.Even though Wei Tingxu seldom confided some comfort, some teachings and truths to her on the return trip today, she no longer felt anything.

Hearing Lingbi asking her, looking up to see the caring expression on Lingbi's face, which is different from the hypocrisy of the past, it seems that she really cares about herself, Zhen Wenjun is amused in his heart.Putting a lot of effort on Wei Tingxu's body got nothing, but Lingbi, who had been ripped off by him all the time, was pried open.

People's hearts are unpredictable, and the world is ridiculous.

"Today, when my sister asked me to kill Mr. Jin Gui and Mrs. Hongye, if I hadn't been cowardly, the thieves wouldn't have found an opportunity to take advantage of me. My hideout exposed my sister to danger. Now that I think about it, I regret it and feel scared." ” said Zhen Wenjun.

It turned out to be annoyed by this matter, Lingbi smiled and said: "Little lady's hands have never been stained with blood, so naturally she can't kill them without any scruples. It would be strange if you killed them immediately."

Seeing that Zhen Wenjun still didn't smile, Lingbi sighed and continued to comfort her patiently: "When I was serving her by the girl's side, I once met an assassin who was a real nine-year-old girl. The child at my waist can make a sharp knife like lightning. If Xiaohua hadn't been alert, I'm afraid I would have died in the hands of that child."

Zhen Wenjun asked: "What happened to the assassin?"

"What else can I do? I peeled the skin of that little hoof myself and gave it back to her mother." She said "Oh" as if suddenly remembering something, and added, "The mother of that little hoof is Mrs. Hongye. At that time The girl felt sorry for the rare martial arts of the two, so she didn't liquidate them. But she didn't expect that the couple had sharpened their heads to send them to death, and now the family is reunited. Think about it, people who wanted to kill the girl all these years went on and on It never stopped at all, men, women, old and young, old and weak, women and children, all kinds of people. If we don't do it, we will be killed by each other. After a long time, we will get used to it. Let's go, Mr. Xu and Zhongji should be here soon , The wound on your hand is too deep, you have to show them, I hope you didn't hurt your bones."

Following Lingbi, Zhen Wenjun noticed that Lingbi used the word "we".

When Duke Xu and Zhongji came, it was still Lingbi who received them.When Wei Tingxu went back to the house to rest, he had told Lingbi that it would be fine to let Mr. Xu and his apprentice come to the main courtyard this time.

Lingbi led them in, Wei Tingxu saw no outsiders, so he erected a screen to divide the huge hall into two.She was lying behind the curtains in the back room and didn't know whether she was asleep or not. Xiao Hua knelt upright by the screen, watching everyone who approached.

After Zhen Wenjun sat on the table, the burning pain in her palms became more and more clear, as if two fires were burning in her hands, the pain made her restless.

Duke Xu and Zhongji came into the room, and when Zhongji put down the medicine box in his hand, the back of his neck felt cold.Her dark eyeballs moved around the room along the beams, and the candlelight could illuminate every inch of the room, nothing unusual, but she always felt that someone behind her was watching her, looking back indifferently.

"Zhongji." Mr. Xu sat across from Zhen Wenjun, stroked his beard and said in a strange tone, "The nobleman is mysterious, and the nobleman's house is even more mysterious. Don't look too much, don't look too much."

Zhen Wenjun saw that his protruding eyes were lowered, and he spoke casually, but in fact there was a lot of meaning in what he said.Attracted by him, he untied the silk handkerchief wrapped around his hand, and let Mr. Xu take a look.After careful inspection, Mr. Xu said with a serious face: "Although the injury is serious, fortunately, Wulingzhi was applied in time to bandage it. This injury must be taken care of carefully, otherwise it will affect the dexterity of the fingers in the future. The little finger is stiff and unable to move." After a pause, he stared at Zhen Wenjun's expression, stretched out his hand to feel her pulse on her wrist, and said suddenly, "Did you vomit blood just now?"

Even through the screen and curtains, Zhen Wenjun could imagine that Ting Xu opened his eyes after Xu Gong said this, and looked over.

I can't hide it, so I have to tell the truth: "Yes."

Xu Gong said with a "huh": "anger hurts the liver, and sadness hurts the lungs. Fortunately, you vomited that mouthful of blood, otherwise the stagnation in the heart will cause serious illness. The wound on the hand is fine." Xu Gong threw her injured hand to the ground. On the other hand, Zhongji asked Zhongji to bring a pen, ink and bamboo slices, "I will prescribe two doses of medicine for you to take, pay attention to rest, and you will be cured without overthinking."

Zhen Wenjun held the hand that was in pain but was thrown aside, tears rolled in his eyes, but he could only say: "Thank you, sir."

Mr. Xu didn't respond, he just picked up the pen and wrote the prescription, coughing a few times while writing.Zhen Wenjun heard his coughing sound seemed strange, two shorts and one long followed by two longs and one short?The rhythm of the coughing sound is also controlled in a meaningful way.It's a pity that she couldn't solve the code of this other kind of character test, and she didn't know whether Duke Xu was the one sent by Xie's family to reinforce him.However, it seems unlikely. Judging by Lingbi's attitude towards them and being able to enter the main courtyard, Duke Xu and Zhongji should have gained a minimum of trust, and they should have come to Wei Tingxu's side earlier than her.

Speaking of which, Wei Tingxu's real identity has been successfully disclosed, which means that it was Huozui who managed to escape in the first place.In this way, the news that she needs reinforcements must have spread. When will the Xie family send someone?

Mr. Xu was writing the prescription, but Zhong Ji kept looking at Xiao Hua who was kneeling by the screen, scrutinizing Xiao Hua's face carefully, his small brows were knit together, as if he was thinking about an extremely complicated problem.

"Master." Zhong Ji pointed at Xiao Hua and asked Xu Gong, "Can I go and see her?"

Her voice was loud and clear, and everyone in the room looked at her.Xu Gong took a look at Xiao Hua's appearance, and he already knew it in his heart: "You have to ask the girl about this."

Zhongji went to ask Lingbi again, but Lingbi didn't know what she was going to do, and Xiaohua didn't make a sound, she didn't even blink her eyes, as if she didn't know what happened in the house.

Zhong Ji didn't know why he was so excited, he walked towards Xiao Hua quickly without anyone's permission.Lingbi put her hands on her waist, and when she was about to draw out the dagger, she saw that Zhongji didn't pay any attention to the things behind the screen, and all her attention was on Xiaohua's face.

Not afraid of Xiaohua's vicious and ugly face, Zhong Ji leaned forward, his small and delicate nose almost touching Xiaohua's red bulbous nose, and looked closely at all the details of Xiaohua's face, He said without beginning or end: "Ghost dove?"

Xiao Hua remained unmoved, didn't even look at her, straightened her body, put her hands on her thighs, and knelt down where she was.Zhongji grabs her hand and wants to test her pulse.

"Let go." Xiaohua said lightly, retracting her hand.

Unexpectedly, although this voice was cold and merciless, it was unexpectedly soft and soft, very nice, and it didn't match her appearance at all.Xiaohua's sudden opening shocked Zhen Wenjun, who never thought that Xiaohua's voice, who never spoke, would be so girly, and yes...it fits her virtuous and virtuous personality very well.

Zhongji was not annoyed at all by her sway, and continued to grab her wrist, Meifeng locked his eyes and asked, "How long have you been poisoned by the ghost dove?"

Xiaohua blocked with a backhand, and when she swung Zhongji's hand away, she grabbed her lapel. Her huge body could still lift up the thin Zhongji even when she was kneeling: "What are you doing? Stay away from me."

Before Zhongji could open his mouth, Wei Tingxu behind the screen suddenly said, "Are you sure you can cure this poison?"

Xiaohua, who was about to throw Zhongji out of the house, heard Wei Tingxu's words, so she could only let her go and let her examine her body.

Zhongji tested her pulse and touched Xiaohua's neck bone and hands before replying: "I'm not sure. The poison has already merged into her bones and blood. If I'm not mistaken, someone should have tried to detoxify her before. It's a pity that person The skill was not good enough to let bloodletting and scrape the poison in time. Although her life was saved, the toxin was still stagnated and her face was completely changed."

Zhongji was talking nonsense over there, Xu Gong wanted to interrupt several times, but Zhongji spoke so fast that he didn't even have a chance to interrupt.This confused child is really fearless, he doesn't know whose territory this is, but dares to talk nonsense.

Wei Tingxu didn't reveal any anger, and even sat up, and there was a squeezing sound from inside the thick curtain: "If you come to treat her, is there any hope for her to recover?"

Zhong Ji said: "I'm not sure about [-]% or [-]%, but there are three to five points. You can try it, anyway, she has become like this, so let me try it. It's just that the medicine I prescribed is strong, and she needs to take some. Bitter."

Zhen Wenjun understood, it turned out that Xiaohua was not born with a magnificent figure and ugly appearance, but she became her current appearance after being poisoned by the ghost dove.

Wei Tingxu only talked to Zhongji, and didn't talk to Xu Gong at all.Mr. Xu is Zhongji's master, and logically speaking, his medical skills are naturally superior to Zhongji's, but Wei Tingxu does not underestimate her because of her young age and inexperience, he is indeed a person who loves talents.

Wei Tingxu asked her: "If you can cure her, what do you want?"

On the contrary, Zhong Ji felt that she was asking a strange question: "It is my duty to see a doctor. What do I ask for? You just need to pay for the medicine."

Mr. Xu hurriedly laughed, and came forward to take Zhongji away.

"I'm young, so I don't know the heights of the sky and the earth. Girl, don't listen to her nonsense, she..."

"If you can't cure it, let my people suffer in vain." Wei Tingxu ignored Mr. Xu, and still said to Zhongji, "I want your eyes and hands."

Zhongji was stunned, and Xu Gong was very sad.

Wei Tingxu said to give Zhongji three days to think about it, she never pushes others to make things difficult.

After Duke Xu and Zhong Ji left, Xiao Hua knelt outside Wei Tingxu's curtain and said:

"Girl, I don't need detoxification, I just want to serve the girl for the rest of my life."

Wei Tingxu lifted the curtain, lowered his eyes, and said with heartache: "I know you are afraid of taking your life if you fail to detoxify. I have already sent someone to investigate Zhongji's life experience. She is from Dongchunshu County , both parents are wild men who walk in the rivers and lakes, and after their parents died of illness in the famine years, they were taken by Duke Xu..."

Before Wei Tingxu finished speaking, Xiao Hua said: "I am not afraid of death, I am only afraid that no one will be loyal to the girl after death."

Wei Tingxu sighed softly, raised his hand, and Xiao Hua knelt down and moved under her hand, letting her gently stroke the top of her head.

"I also think that you have been following me, so I want to cure your poison. The poison of the ghost dove comes and goes over and over again for ten years, and each attack will be an extremely difficult gate to pass. Seeing the ten-year It's almost here, I don't want you to have trouble. If you want to be with me for a long time, cure the poison."

Xiaohua lowered her head and said nothing, Zhen Wenjun leaned forward slightly to look, and saw her face covered with tears.

"Sister Wenjun." Wei Tingxu knew that Xiaohua agreed without saying a word, so he called Zhen Wenjun instead.

"Yes." Zhen Wenjun replied.

"I know that what happened today made you depressed. I could have ordered Mr. Jingui and Mrs. Hongye to be executed directly, but why did I go to such lengths to lure them to do so? Can you understand my intention? I knew before I handed you the dagger that you couldn't do it. Why would I let you do this? On the way back, I told you that a good heart will be your biggest obstacle and weakness in this troubled world. Since you want to follow me, you should understand the simplest truth - your weakness is an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of. Power struggles are never open and upright, only you live and die. Today is just a trivial matter that makes you depressed, How can you leave major events in your hands in the future? You have to remember one more thing, your weakness is my weakness, and you will kill me at any time."

Zhen Wenjun: "Sister, I..."

Wei Tingxu interrupted her: "You really want to understand and come see me again. I'm tired, you go back."
