Relief

From the woods to the lake, an open lawn was cut out, and the stream flowed peacefully like a mirror. Not far away, a group of scribes sat on the ground near the river near the lake, chatting and laughing intermittently downstream.

Accidentally, when passing by the stream, the chair wheel fell into the mud of the wetland, and was pressed by the weight of the person, making it impossible to lift for a while.

Feng Zhichang's face remained gloomy, he flicked his sleeves and stood up, limping forward regardless of the chair.

It was only when he was walking that he could see that there was a real problem with his leg. His right leg seemed to be unable to bear weight, and his whole body was tilted to the top.

Xie Zhixu chased after him, he wanted to help but he didn't have the guts, he stretched out and didn't shrink back, he was very at a loss: "Brother, slow down, you... wait for Liu Liu to push the chair up."

Feng Zhichang didn't answer, Xie Zhixu chased after him, and he limped and walked faster, heading straight for the crowd drinking and having fun.Xie Zhixu was worried about his legs, so he grabbed Feng Zhichang's gray robe sleeve with his hand, and was yanked away by him.

Thank you for humbly complaining.He only knew that this senior brother had a bad temper, but he didn't think it was weird. After the battle with Mrs. Qiu, Feng Zhixuan understood that Xie Zhixu's sudden invitation to You Chun had a purpose, but he didn't get angry or leave the scene. He actively cooperated and even forced him Xie Zhixu continued with the plan.

Just like the instructor who marks the examination papers, if the performance of the candidates is not satisfactory, they will be punished.

In the crowd, one could see Dr. Zhang with three strands of gray beard at a glance, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and raised his eyes sharply to Xie Zhixu.

The person sitting next to Dr. Zhang had a familiar face. He was Liang Zhen, the head of the Liang family.It seems that the news that Liang Ting's condition has improved is true, and Patriarch Liang is also interested in traveling today, and his face turns rosy after a few glasses of wine.

Xie Zhixu wanted to lead Fengzhi to often go to Dr. Zhang's place.

Feng Zhichang's body tilted, and Xie Zhixu immediately held his elbow: "Slow down, I'll help you." The half of the final sound was stuck in his throat and before he could spit it out, he felt that Feng Zhichang clasped his hand back and put his fingers on it. His pulse, that place is where the venom of the Black Marsh Snake is located, and it is known that when it is touched, it will immediately hurt, and Xie Xu's back is in a cold sweat.

The snake venom has not acted as a demon for many days, so Xie Zhixu almost forgot, this is a warning that Feng Zhi always buried in his body.As long as he dared to intervene in his affairs with the Liang family, his life would be lost.

The curved water cup is natural and elegant. The stream is drawn from the small pool under the hanging spring. Taking advantage of the gentle terrain of the mountainside, it firmly holds the wine bottle and flows around.Whoever the wine bottle stops in front of will be able to make a statement and compose a poem. Could it be that the presence of a famous person in the city is bound to win applause from all the halls to prove his elegant taste.

Xie Zhixu was sweating profusely while supporting Feng Zhichang and walking behind Dr. Zhang, the wine bottle was standing in front of them.Dr. Zhang quickly picked it up and drank it down. His flushed face could not see the trembling that he said that day with the steward Liang Fufu that he "had a bad heart".

"April is the new spring in the mountains, and people who go out are all flower-seekers. It makes me a medical doctor, and I send the spring breeze to cure the root of the disease!"

"Okay," Liang Zhen touched Dr. Zhang's hands, "Mr. Mao Zhi admires the benevolence of the doctor!"

Xie Zhixu helped Fengzhi to often sit next to the two of them.

Doctor Zhang grabbed Xie Zhixu's hand and stuffed it into Liang Zhen's, and introduced him: "Master Liang, this is the little brother who provides the antidote as the old man said, so that you can be safe from danger. This little brother It is indispensable."

Xie Zhixu was caught off guard, a little embarrassed.Liang Zhen's appearance is ordinary, and he can't be found if thrown into the sea of ​​people. He is far less impressive than his wife. When a couple with such a match has children, most of them also hope that the offspring will be more similar to the good-looking one.

Liang Zhen shook Xie Zhixu's hand in a kind manner, and said with a kind smile: "Mr. Zhang has mentioned it to me many times, and I really want to thank you... However, I have some doubts. Brother can come up with the antidote?"

The head of the Liang family only seemed to be kind and amiable.

Doctor Zhang explained on Xie Zhixu's behalf: "It's not considered an antidote. I have studied that kind of pill, which contains countless rare medicinal materials, which can relieve various toxins. It is a relatively general antidote pill. But it is used in Mr. Liang's The effect on the disease cannot be considered the best, so the old man extracts the one and two ingredients needed in it, supplemented with symptomatic medicine, and finally detoxifies."

Liang Zhen suddenly realized—the face suddenly realized, in fact, he may not understand the words of doctors—kindly patted Xie Zhixu on the shoulder, and handed him a bottle of wine: "I see, little brother, please forgive Liang You were just rude, alas, these days, the government has come to discuss the arrest of suspects every day, and Liang is also suspicious, and he has problems with everyone."

Xie Zhixu's face was almost patted into the drink by him, he quickly took it, clinked with Liang Zhen, and drank it up.The wine is stuffed with fruit, sour and sweet, and does not burn the throat.

"Cough cough, it's easy to say, has Mr. Liang recovered?"

"Alas," Dr. Zhang said with a sad face, "it's just that the throat is not getting better, it should be caused by damage to the vocal cords, which makes speaking very difficult and hoarse."

Liang Zhen snorted coldly and said, "That thief is just preaching that my son will be dumb. You still need to do your best, so don't let the thief's wish come true."

Xie Zhixu saw the needles and asked: "This person is deliberately embarrassing Mr. Liang. Could it be that he is the remnant of the kidnapping case that shocked the Pingjiang Mansion back then?"

oh?oh!Doctor Zhang stroked his beard and nodded deeply.

It seems that the kidnapping case back then has indeed reached the point where everyone knows about it.Liang Zhen didn't shy away from it, and said bluntly: "How many years ago, those gangsters have been completely wiped out by the appeasement envoys, and I'm afraid they have been reincarnated at your age."

I... I have passed the coronation ceremony anyway.Xie Zhixu couldn't help asking himself, did he really look so tender?

"However, the lake island is surrounded by water, so it's inconvenient to surround it. Maybe some people jump into the lake to escape. What do you think?"

Both Liang Zhen and Doctor Zhang looked at him strangely.Doctor Zhang said: "Brother Xie, you forgot. I heard that the kidnapping took place in the suburban mountains. Back then, Zhizhou imposed a ban on Baili, and even a bird could not fly out of the suburbs. How could the gangsters take advantage of the loopholes?" .”

Liang Zhen also said: "Thirteen years have passed, and it is still shocking to think about it. Rich people are often kidnapped and extorted. If the kidnappers don't get the ransom, they will kill people. It was too late when my wife handed over the gangster's letter. It has been more than a month, and the whole family is worried that it will be too late, and Tinger's life will be lost." Speaking of this, Liang Zhen shook his head, still showing some concern.

It was also the first time Dr. Zhang heard the details of this anecdote that supported several teahouses in the city, and he couldn't help asking: "I've always been very strange, why didn't I find that the young master was missing for so long? There have been many versions of the story, er, it must not be the truth?"

Xie Zhixu kept his ears aside, glanced at Feng Zhichang's cold and white profile from the corner of his eye, and couldn't tell whether he was listening or not.

"The truth? The truth is that family ugliness are kept secret." Liang Zhen emptied the whole jug of wine, and someone at the side immediately filled it up for him.Liang Zhen put his arms around Dr. Zhang's shoulders, and the two heads, one black and one white, put together nicely: "Sir, let me tell you, this smart woman is not to be desired, nor is a stupid woman. My wife suppressed the gangster's letter back then. She actually thought it was my son's prank. Alas, I am not afraid of people knowing the mistakes I made. In the past, my husband and I did not care about our son. Get attention, self-directed and acted."

There was no movement around him, Xie Zhixu turned his head away, thinking that you have nothing to say.As a result, when he saw it, his heart almost jumped out of his chest in shock—the winding stream carrying a bottle of sake was stopping in front of Feng Zhichang.

Feng Zhi often lowered his eyes, looking gloomy, not knowing what he was thinking.

The other side is already booing, drinking a glass of wine will present a good poem.

Just as the word "Farewell" popped out of Xie Zhixu's throat, Feng Zhichang picked up the wine bottle and drank it down.

Xie Zhixu: "..."

"Good! Refreshing!"

"Brother, let's compose a poem and listen to it~"

Xie Zhixu: "!!!!"

Feng Zhichang's Adam's apple twitched, as if he was brewing some great poem, but Xie Zhixu knew that he just passed the fruit wine in his mouth and swallowed it down his throat.This time the car overturned...

But Feng Zhichang didn't care, he stood up with his left knee propped up, the wine flowed into his stomach like clear water, it didn't melt the ice on his face at all.Everyone by the stream was waiting for him to become a poet, so he turned around and left.

"Hey, what are you doing here?"

"Why don't you follow the rules, you have to leave poems after drinking!"

"Is there something wrong with this person's leg..."

"I'll come, I'll come," Xie Zhixu picked up the wine glass that Feng Zhichang had put down, filled it up, drank it dry, and turned the glass around, "Don't force the article, the craftsman's spirit will make you happy. Qingle Miscellaneous Ai Si, I have nothing to say to others."

At noon in the pavilion, the sun hangs in the sky, and thousands of flowers bloom everywhere like clouds.

The tourists are not exhausted yet, only Xie Zhixu and three people on the mountainside want to board the car and leave.

"The back mountain can still pick the new tea of ​​the season. Wait for a while, and the villa will have roasted whole sheep to distribute to tourists." The boy who led the cart looked sorry for them.

Liu Liu fixed the wheelchair in the car, got out of the car again, and said that she forgot something.

Feng Zhichang was neither irritable nor gloomy at the moment, he casually looked out from the half-drawn curtain of the car window, as if he had something on his mind.Xie Zhixu didn't dare to disturb him.

After waiting for a while, Liuliu came back with a roll of things in her arms, and the car started back to the city.

It is a roll of drawing paper.

The rented car was big enough, Liu Liu spread out the drawing paper on the floor, and said in a very excited tone, "Look, how good is the drawing?!"

Xie Zhixu opened his eyes wide, speechless in surprise——

It was a group portrait of the three of them in front of the peach grove.The petals splashed by peach juice are flying one after another, and the skillful painting is shaped according to the situation. The handsome young man in gray and white robes is sitting in a wheelchair, with a Guqin on his knees, and the delicate girl with double rings on her temples is holding her chin and looking at her. Looking at him, he seemed to be listening to the sound of the zither, and beside him was a knight-errant who was trying his sword with flowers, showing half of his face similar to that of Xie Zhixu.Painter observed very carefully, saw that Xie Zhixuan was wearing a long sword, so he created such a character for him.

Playing the qin and dancing the sword, in a crimson background, the most harmonious relationship between them was left behind by accident.
