mountain chase

"Doctor Li, what's wrong with fourth master?" Standing by the bed, the housekeeper looked anxious.

"Oh, it's poisonous again." Shaking his head, Dr. Li looked solemn, "But it's not right, although the antidote I prepared can't cure the disease, it won't last even one or two hours." After thinking about it Thinking, Dr. Li suddenly stood up, "Housekeeper, where did Fourth Master Qiao meet that Japanese?"

"I'm afraid something will happen, it's in the lobby." The butler replied.

"Well, tell all the servants immediately, don't go near the hall, and don't touch anything there, including the carpet, don't step on it!"

"Okay, I see." Seeing that Dr. Li was so serious, the housekeeper knew that there might be something wrong with the meeting just now.

"Well, you go down and tell me that the other members of the team and I are going to go to the hall to check carefully and see if we can find any new discoveries."

"Okay." Nodding, the butler immediately went down to prepare.

Two hours later.

"How's it going?" Seeing Dr. Li coming in, the housekeeper immediately asked.

With a serious face, Dr. Li frowned tightly, "No, everything has been checked, and there is no problem at all. This, it's impossible..."

"Doctor Li, could it be that... Fourth Master's resistance has dropped?" After thinking for a while, the housekeeper guessed, "Since Little Japan came, Fourth Master basically hasn't eaten much food all day long. Busy with work, my body has lost a lot of weight.”

"No..." After thinking about it for a while, Dr. Li was still absolutely wrong, "I just formulated this medicine last night, and it was formulated according to Si Ye's current physical condition. How could it be the reason?"

"There's no need to guess here." The door was suddenly opened, and Fourth Master Qiao walked in with a pale face.

"Fourth Master, you just had a drug injection, you should rest more." Immediately stood up and walked over to help Fourth Master Qiao, the butler was worried.

"These are trivial things." Waving his hand, Fourth Master Qiao looked at Dr. Li, "Well, I will invite Mr. Noda to the teahouse to listen to the opera later, and you can pretend to be my entourage and follow by your side. In this way, always Can you find something?"

"Fourth Master, this is a good idea." Dr. Li also agreed, "It's just..." He thought about it again, feeling that something was wrong, "Fourth Master, if you see him again, won't the poison in your body accumulate again? Now Although there is an antidote prepared by the subordinates, but this thing is on the body after all, and to truly crack it, you need to quit even the antidote."

With a cold smile, Fourth Master Qiao said sarcastically, "Don't you think that even if I don't go to see him, he won't come to see me? Noda won't give up until he gets the answer he wants. —I can't bear it, when I asked him for the antidote."

"Fourth Master." Calling his name, Dr. Li looked at the man opposite him, with his slender body, pale face, and arrogance that kept breaking down, and hundreds of words of persuasion in his stomach wandered back and forth. several times, but still did not say it.He knew that Mr. Qiao would never change what he believed.

So that night, Fourth Master Qiao asked the housekeeper to call Noda Benichiro and asked someone to go to the theater to watch a play the day after tomorrow.

at the same time.

On the other side thousands of miles away, in the dark night, Wang Dachuan rode a horse and galloped all the way.

"Lu——" Holding the rein with one hand, the man stopped at a shed at the intersection. He had been running without sleep for a whole day and night. Even if a man could bear it, the horse couldn't bear it.

"Sir, what do you want?" The boss who walked into the shed and was busy at the stove greeted.

"Just give me...a big bowl of noodles."

"okay!"

It was already night at this time, the winter night came early, and it was dark early, so there were not many people in the shed. Wang Dachuan didn't wait for a few minutes, and the boss had already quickly brought out the noodles and brought them to him.

Mouthing the noodles, Wang Dachuan asked the boss, "Boss, how far is it from Chongqing?"

"Oh, sir, you're going there. If you take the main road, you'll be there in three or four days."

"Three or four days?" Frowning, Wang Dachuan said, "Boss, is there a shortcut? Three or four days is too long. I'm going there in a hurry to find someone."

"Oh, that's it." The boss put down the bowls and chopsticks he was clearing up, and thought for a while, "Yes, there are, but the road is really dangerous. I advise you not to rush, but to be safe."

"Hey, boss, I really have something urgent. I have to leave on my own. It has nothing to do with you. Just tell me it's okay." Wang Dachuan asked seriously.

"Then...well then," seeing the sincerity on the man's face, the shop owner really had nothing to do with him. He walked to the door of the shed and pointed to the northwest direction, "Do you see that mountain over there? Don't go. The road in front, as long as you turn over the mountain, you will be very close to Chongqing. Although this road is close, because it is an undeveloped primitive mountain, there are many poisonous snakes and beasts in it. Although the road is detoured One point, sir, you'd better be on the safe side."

"That mountain, right?" Wang Dachuan raised his chin, drank the last sip of noodle soup, wiped his mouth, "Boss, thank you, by the way, bring me two more steamed buns, I'll eat them on the way."

"Oh, okay." Seeing that the man didn't listen to what he said, the boss stopped talking too much, and quickly packed the steamed buns and handed them to the man.

After paying the money, Wang Dachuan walked out of the shed, patted his beloved horse, jumped up and rode on it, and continued heading northwest.

"Xiao Lang! Your Majesty—ahhhh! Ahhhhhhhhh—"

In the theater garden, Hua Dan, who was dressed in pink and gauze, was looking at her dead husband sadly, with tears streaming down her face.Muttering in the mouth, and removing the banhu sadly, babbling and recalling the happy past of the two of them.

"it is good!"

"Papa papa" applause sounded.

In the private room on the second floor, sitting at the table, through the railing, Noda Benichiro watched in fascination and couldn't stop admiring.

After Huadan finishes singing, the scene is considered to be over.Noda finally came back to his senses while supporting the young students in the middle of the field, and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Mr. Qiao, I have always been very interested in Chinese Peking Opera art, and this time you recommended this The location is really great, and the acting is simply perfect."

"As long as Mr. Noda likes it," Fourth Master Qiao said flatly, holding a teacup.

Having gotten used to Fourth Master Qiao's indifference, Noda Benichiro didn't pay much attention, turned his head and went on watching his play again.By the time this scene finally ended, more than an hour had passed.

"It's already past five o'clock." He raised his hand and looked at his watch. Ichiro Noda was a little surprised, "Ah, so we've been here for so long."

"This play is really wonderful, and it's worth it for such a long time." Waiting for the servants around him to put on their cloaks, Fourth Master Qiao walked out slowly.

"Hehe, what Xuemei said makes sense."

"Xuemei...?" Frowning slightly, Fourth Master Qiao looked at him a little strangely.

"Isn't that your name?" Smiling, Noda thought for a while and said, "I've always thought this name is really suitable for you, Plum Blossom in the Snow—seems like what your ancient Chinese literati praisers said. As soon as he stretched out his hand, someone immediately stepped forward and handed over a bunch of wrapped plum blossoms, "Here for you."

"Thank you, Mr. Noda." The corner of his mouth twitched, and Fourth Master Qiao said, "The show is over, and it is indeed getting late, so—Mr. Noda, I will take my leave."

"This...well," seemed to want to say something more, but Noda finally watched politely as Fourth Master Qiao got into the car and left the theater.

"General!"

When the people had gone far away, the assistant beside Noda stepped forward, "Should I send someone to check Mr. Qiao's house? It's been five days, it's impossible..."

"Hey." Stopping the man's words, Noda smiled: "Do you think this Mr. Qiao is easy to provoke? Don't underestimate him, otherwise——you will suffer a lot."

"Hi!" The man nodded emphatically.

As for that person who cannot be underestimated, even breathing has become difficult.

Pushing away Fourth Master Qiao's right arm sleeve, the housekeeper looked anxiously at Dr. Li, "Hurry up, Fourth Master is ill!"

"Okay." Opening the medicine box that was left in the car early in the morning, Dr. Li took out a glass bottle from it, pumped the medicine inside into the needle tube, followed the long and thin needle hole on that arm, and then Tie another one underneath.

After a few more minutes, Fourth Master Qiao's face gradually turned from blue to white: "How is it, do you see anything?"

Nodding his head, Dr. Li's expression turned ugly, "It's the taste."

"smell?"

"Fourth Lord, you are the closest to Noda, so you should be able to smell it more clearly. Noda Benichiro has a special scent. And this is nothing else, it is the smell of the improved drug. Usually, people like us Because there is no such thing, it doesn't matter even if you smell it a little bit. But the fourth master already has too many toxins in his body. It will also have a huge impact.”

"No wonder!" Narrowing his eyes, the butler said angrily, "No wonder we found nothing in the living room that day, and it's really despicable to use this method! Fourth Master, now that you know Noda's method, what are you going to do? "

"Have the new products from Chongqing arrived yet?"

Suddenly being asked such a question, the housekeeper was a little stunned: "Probably... there are still two days."

"En." Closing his eyes, Fourth Master Qiao stopped talking.

"Fourth, fourth master!" Unbelievable, the butler's voice was trembling, "You, you..." You actually planned to ignore him and let the Japanese devils continue to harm you? ! !

"My willingness to stay in Nanjing is to send this batch of goods out and let everyone in the Qiao family evacuate."

After saying such a sentence suddenly, Fourth Master Qiao didn't open his eyes.

"……I understand."

Yes, Fourth Master Qiao stayed in Nanjing only for these reasons. If these wishes are gone, then is it necessary for him to stay in Nanjing...

Naturally, Noda couldn't continue to harm him.

In order not to startle the snake, fourth master...

Take care of the overall situation.
