Seven bitter flowers

Chapter No.17: Strange peaks rise one after another

The next morning, Ding Xiu was woken up by the noise outside. She sat up hugging the quilt, feeling very angry.She thought too much last night, and she didn't fall asleep until the sky was clear, and she was tortured after squinting for a while. Could it be that today's almanac says that she is not suitable for sleeping or resting?

After waiting for a while, the noise didn't stop at all, and a few servants could be vaguely heard calling for someone to clean up the empty room.It looks like someone has come to live on the empty island again.

Seeing that she couldn't sleep anymore, Ding Xiu lifted the quilt resignedly, slowly got out of bed with her clothes on, washed and tidied up, but suddenly it was quiet outside while washing her face, she was almost crying with water in her hands By the way, did the group of domestic servants on Trapped Sky Island form a group to wake her up?Really dedicated.

When she walked into the main hall, Ding Xiu found tragically that not only was it not suitable to settle down in her almanac today, but it must also say that it was not suitable to see outsiders.

Everyone in the main hall was present, Min Xiuxiu saw Ding Xiu, and quickly asked her to sit down.Ding Xiu's mind was a little confused, she mechanically sat next to Min Xiuxiu, but her eyes couldn't help but look at the old man with a childlike face and white hair sitting in the middle of the hall.

"Great Physician" Ye Shengtian.

Ding Xiu was a little dazed, and when she came to her senses, Min Xiuxiu was introducing Ye Shengtian to her: "Sister, this is the famous 'great doctor' Ye Shengtian. He studied medicine under Master Ye."

Ding Xiu nodded, and was about to greet Ye Shengtian, Ye Shengtian had already stroked his beard and smiled at her: "Little girl Ding Xiu, I haven't seen you for half a year, you don't know the old man, do you?" He laughed, looking very happy.

Zhan Zhao looked slightly surprised: "Senior met Miss Ding?"

Ye Shengtian smiled and said, "How dare this old man not recognize Hu Wan's beloved disciple of the 'Small Doctor Doctor'? Little girl Ding Xiu, come here and let the old man take a look."

Ding Xiu stood up and walked forward, her heart beating like a drum, afraid that Ye Shengtian would say any more shocking words.As soon as he came to the front, Ye Shengtian grabbed Ding Xiu's wrist unceremoniously, held it for a while, then frowned and said, "That hand."

Ding Xiu obediently stretched out her other hand to ask Ye Shengtian to give her her pulse, and she quickly changed her mind. Whether it was sooner or later, Ye Shengtian came to Zakong Island at this time, saying that he came to see his apprentice, and even if he killed her Do not believe.If it is said that he came here for Qikuhua, then he must be too well informed.After thinking for a long time, she didn't come up with a result, Ding Xiu simply gave up, anyway, Ye Shengtian would not come to see her specially.

After a while, Ye Shengcai withdrew his hand and muttered to himself: "Everyone doesn't listen to the old man's persuasion, they really treat themselves like iron." He snorted, ignored Ding Xiu, and went Reach for the teacup.

Ding Xiu stood on the spot, his face turned white and red, and he was stunned for a long time before bowing: "The junior will step down first."

Ye Shengtian rolled his eyelids: "Go back to my place and have a look."

Ding Xiu didn't dare to speak, she lowered her head and went back to her seat. When passing by Zhan Zhao, Zhan Zhao looked up at her with doubts in his eyes, but he didn't speak.

Lu Fang, who was sitting with the prime minister, spoke first, and asked, "Senior Ye, what's wrong with Miss Ding? If there is anything the juniors can help with, just ask, and the juniors will definitely help with all their strength."

Ye Shengtian snorted again: "The old man has been in the rivers and lakes for so many years, and he has never needed help from others. You don't have to worry about it, Master Lu."

Lu Fang was so choked by him that his face turned red, and he mumbled for a long time before saying: "It's the younger generation who offended."

Ding Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and felt a little funny in her heart. When she was dealing with Ye Shengtian back then, all the etiquette and politeness were useless. If you blindly respect him as an elder, he will make things difficult for you. If you treat him as a friend of the same generation and treat him Regardless of etiquette, he will also get close to you.Although Ye Shengtian was old, he was a child at heart. Back then, Ding Xiu was treated elsewhere, and the two discussed similar medical skills, and they almost worshiped him on the spot.Today Lu Fang's side was just being polite, and sure enough, it made a lot of sense.

Seeing his elder brother being robbed by Ye Shengtian, Bai Yutang felt angry, so he immediately said: "Senior came from a long way, and the island is full of splendor, but I don't know why senior came here again?"

Ye Shengtian chuckled, stroked his beard and said, "Recently, the old man misses the wine-brewed yellow croaker made by girl Xiuxiu. Just in time for the fish season, the old man is coming." As he spoke, his face showed a salivating look, as if recalling The delicious taste of yellow croaker is very exciting.

Bai Yutang snorted inwardly, and said to himself, this old man is talking in a cloud of mist, and he doesn't explain why he came, if he wants to play wild on Xingkong Island, Wu Ye won't tolerate him.

But Ding Xiu thought at the same time: It really is his style to drive such a long way for a fish.

Everyone chatted for a while, and Lu Fangfang ordered the banquet to be held for Ye Shengtian.

Min Xiuxiu smiled and said to Ye Shengtian: "Master, the fermented yellow croaker has to be marinated in high-quality wine for three days before it can taste and remove the fishy smell. It happened that the fifth brother brought back twenty altars of Fenjiu Zhuyeqing a few days ago. Master, stay here first. Disciple will prepare wine to marinate fish today, and cook it for Master to eat."

Ye Shengtian was very satisfied, and nodded while saying: "The old man is the most patient to wait a few more days for the delicious food. As long as he can eat the wine-stuffed yellow croaker, the old man is willing to wait even three years, let alone three days." He reached out and stroked Min Soo-soo's hair to show his appreciation.

Bai Yutang secretly said: "If you want to stay on Xingkong Island for three years, you have to first ask Fifth Master if he agrees."

Bai Yutang turned his thoughts on this side, while Zhan Zhao on the other side saw the crowd arranging a banquet, turned his head and asked Ding Xiu in a low voice: "Axiu, were you... injured half a year ago?"

Ding Xiu chuckled: "I was injured half a year ago in Luoyang, thanks to Mr. Ye for saving my life, otherwise you wouldn't be able to see me."

Zhan Zhao frowned, and was about to ask later, when suddenly a family member came in and saluted, "Master Zhan, there is a letter from Kaifeng Mansion."

Zhan Zhao stood up, thanked the person first, then took the letter, opened it to read it, frowned, and looked down at Ding Xiu.

After such a long time, Ding Xiu no longer had the smile on her face just now, she was resting on her chin with her hands as if she was distracted, Zhan Zhao even called "Axiu" a few times and she didn't respond, it was Min Xiuxiu who pushed her, and she After realizing it, he looked up at Zhan Zhao blankly, and asked after a while, "What's wrong?"

Zhan Zhao shook the letter in his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gongsun sent a letter, there is a case in Jiangning Mansion, let's go there and have a look when we go back."

Ding Xiu was obviously depressed, and asked lazily: "What case? Do you have to follow me?"

Zhan Zhao said: "The letter said that children from several families in Jiangning Mansion have been missing since last month. The government searched for half a month but found nothing. Mr. Gongsun said..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a "gudong", and Ding Xiu had already fallen down there with a chair.

The author has something to say:

Ask in a low voice: Am I updating too fast?Either I think I should take a break for a while, so that I can relax more calmly...
