beg for chivalry

When it was time to apply for a license plate, Wang Xiaoyuan entered Huajie in Beishi.

On the half of the street adjacent to the water, there are some pretty and familiar girls standing in twos and threes, with knee-length skirts, outlining a graceful figure.A few camels were tied to the willow tree in front of the wine shop, and reeds were placed in front of them, and some merchants were giving them water with a ladle.

Wang Xiaoyuan walked into the wine shop, pulled a stool and sat down, opposite to that seat sat a girl from Shanghu, her face under the hat was as round as a pebble, reddened by the scorching sun.She was pouring wine with her head down, but when she looked up, she saw Wang Xiaoyuan sitting across from her. She grinned suddenly, and said in official Chinese with a curly tongue:

"...Young Master Jin?"

"I'm not Mr. Jin." Wang Xiaoyuan smiled, took out a pair of golden earrings from his sleeve pocket, and put them on the long table, "I'm a servant of his house."

He pressed Jin Wu repeatedly before, but he didn't get the answer he wanted.In the past few months, why did Jinwu often hang out in Huajie, and even didn't return all night?Wang Xiaoyuan failed to get the words out of his mouth, so he went to find the concierge, and learned that although Jinwu seemed to travel aimlessly, he would always go to Beishi every seven days.

Today happened to be the day when Jinwu was coming to Beishi, so he searched all the way, and finally found this woman who often met Jinwu.

Now that Wang Xiaoyuan sat down, after carefully looking at the woman, some doubts arose in his heart.He saw that the girl's brows were deep and strong, like a chiseled knife, her eyes were blue and her hair was curly, she was exactly the face of a barbarian.

Does Jinwu like such a girl?He suddenly panicked.Perhaps it was because she was of the same blood that Jinwu felt that she was more affectionate.He was a little more delicate, and the girl was even more heroic than him.He was clumsy, knew nothing, and always annoyed his master between the bed curtains.

When Miss Shanghu saw the golden-eared pendant, she grinned suddenly, and said jerky in Mandarin, "You still have it!" So she reached out to pick up the pair of shining ear pendants, and carefully put them back on.

Wang Xiaoyuan had always suspected that it was an object left behind by some red shepherd when he was entangled with the golden crow, now seeing her picking it up without any shyness, he stammered: "This...these ears are..."

"It's mine!" Miss Shanghu smiled and got up gracefully. She strode out the door, said some nonsense to the rest of the merchants, then grabbed a few cloth bags from the unloaded goods bag, turned around Put it on the table.

"Your Mr. Jin paid the silver earlier, but we were short of the goods at that time, and we couldn't deliver them to him, so I will use this ear to hold it against." She smiled, and gestured to Wang Xiaoyuan, "Here, You can take a look at the goods first, then tell your young master when you turn around and say that the goods have been brought to you."

The cloth pouch is not heavy, but it has some weight.Wang Xiaoyuan pulled the tether away and saw that there were neatly packed paper packages inside. He opened a paper package and found a plump beet seed inside.

Opened the other one and found that it was fried and researched horseshoe cassia.

There was a crumpled piece of paper in the cloth pouch, and he took it out to see that it looked like a bill of lading.The names of some herbal medicines are written on it, many of which are rare medicinal materials from the Western Regions, such as snow lotus, Menghua, Linlan... any of them will cost a lot of money.

"What are these?" Wang Xiaoyuan murmured.

Miss Shanghu smiled and said: "It's medicinal materials for treating eye diseases and nourishing muscles and bones. Your son wants it. He is really generous, and he likes to pick and choose. He said don't take the ones that don't look clear or smell good. Let's study it carefully." It took a long time before I dared to send it to his door."

Wang Xiaoyuan looked down at the cloth bag, feeling dazed suddenly.His eye disease has not healed all the time, and after the Martial League meeting, he suffered from serious injuries. He sometimes feels dizzy in his eyes and dull pain in his hands and feet. Fortunately, Yu Bingzi, who was born in Wanyi Valley, took care of him recently, and the pain has been relieved to some extent.

This medicine...was specially prepared by Jinwu for him?

His heart suddenly beat wildly.But if he just came out to prepare medicine for himself, why did Jinwu sneak around and hide it like a guilty conscience?Wang Xiaoyuan counted the medicine packs in the cloth bag carefully, and found nothing wrong.

The Shanghu people said goodbye to him, talked and laughed loudly, untied the tether from the peg, and went east.Wang Xiaoyuan still curled up, flipping through the note up and down.

Suddenly, there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he suddenly realized, but his heart felt as bitter as if soaked in medicinal juice: only the name of the medicine that cured other diseases was written on this paper.Snow lotus and Senecio cured eye diseases, and stone pine and yaoqu grass nourished cracked bones, all of which healed his illnesses.

There are many Chinese medicine stones in this bag, but none of them are reserved for Jinwu.

-

The shining white sunlight moved over, and the sparse yellow tree shadows filled the windows.

The noise of some children playing in the mansion garden must be some monkeys crawling over the wall and coming to the mansion to tear the flowers and branches.Laughter and noise came and went in the bushes, one wave after another.

Jin Wu closed his eyes, curled up in the silk quilt, and dozed off in a daze.His soul seemed to be out of his body, he floated off the couch, pushed away the fan, and fell into the corridor.He seemed to be floating lightly in the air, and saw himself holding a bamboo basket a few months ago, sitting on the porch with a black-haired girl peeling lotus seeds.

The two were silent.Yu Bingzi lowered his head and peeled off the lotus rice one by one.The green shell fell, revealing the white, tender and crisp lotus seeds inside.Jinwu scratched the shell with a knife on the side, slashed three times staggeredly, and the blue juice dripped into the gap between the fingers.After the lotus rice is peeled, it is used to cook medicinal soup at night to nourish the heart.

"Illness...may not be cured." After a long time, Yu Bingzi suddenly said.

Jin Wu was silent for a moment, then asked: "Whose disease?"

Yu Bingzi put down the bamboo basket in his hand, and met his serious eyes: "Both of you."

"At the Martial League Conference, you and your senior brothers risked their lives too much. The Yubai sword technique is a method that kills as soon as it is used. How can it be used one after another to knock on the door of the king of hell? I am afraid it will happen in the future. We have to get rid of some root causes." Yu Bingzi sighed softly.

"Indeed, that man is a fool." Jin Wu said, his hands still kept moving, and the lotus seeds with knife marks rolled into the basket one by one.

"Oh, Mr. Jin, you are also a half-assed fool." Yu Bingzi sighed again, "I have seen the prescription that my sister gave you. At that time, the illness was too serious, and some strong poison was prescribed to suppress it. Although now After eating the pill, I managed to save my life, but my body is completely broken!"

Jin Wu turned his head and asked, "How many years can I live?"

Yu Bingzi pursed his lips, looking at him with a lonely expression.

After a long time, she put down the bamboo basket, stretched out her slender fingers, and counted them.That number was bigger than Jin Wu thought, but it was also considered small.

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Yu Bingzi rolled his eyes sadly, "Master, let me tell you first, I'm not a fortune teller, I can't get the exact number, but it's not bad at all." After thinking about it, she Then he smiled with white teeth, "But you just need to take the medicine obediently, take a good rest, and avoid getting angry. You can live longer if you just rest like this!"

Jin Wu's eyes lingered on her outstretched fingers for a moment, and only smiled:

"It's... life is too short."

The grass is green and shaded, and the stalks send incense.The bright white sunlight fell on the green leaves, and the water droplets rolled and shone, and then quickly slid over the tip of the leaves and shattered into the pond.

He often thinks, how much suffering does a person have to go through in his life before he can taste some sweet fragrance?Every time he tasted the mellow wine, although it was bitter at the beginning, he could still aftertaste, but the life he lived seemed to be only bitter at the beginning, and there was no room for chewing.

But when he recalled the night when he and Yu Qiuxia went boating in Fengyuan and traveled around the world, he suddenly felt that the days were not all astringent, but also a little bit sweet.

At this time, Yu Bingzi blinked and asked, "Young Master Jin, are you going to Wanyi Valley to recuperate? Jiading is still a bit noisy here. It is best to be able to calm your mind. Besides, some herbs are only grown in the valley. It’s not going to work, and it’s inconvenient to ask a merchant to buy it. Lingzhou is not far from Jiading, it’s close.”

The last lotus seed fell into the porcelain bowl, Jinwu wiped the juice from the blade, put away the knife, jumped off the pine chair, and stepped into the bright sky.

"Forget it, let that boy named Jinwu go." He waved his hands and said, "He willful and reckless, he never listens to anyone's advice, and the same is true in matters of life and death."

"If you want to prescribe a prescription, Wang Xiaoyuan's is fine. You don't have to worry about mine. Mu Shiyi has been with me for a while, and she knows me very well."

Looking at the white sky, Jin Wu murmured, then turned around and asked Yu Bingzi, "Aren't you going back to the Valley of Ten Thousand Doctors? It's not good to stay here all the time. Your parents and sisters should also wait urgently. On the way Is there anything missing? Do you need a horse or a horse?”

Yu Bingzi was stunned for a moment, his expression turned sad, "Young Master Jin is really like a senior brother, he likes to meddle in other people's business, but he doesn't like to take care of himself."

Jin Wu laughed at this, and made a silence gesture: "Don't tell Wang Xiaoyuan a word of what I said earlier."

"Why?"

"Because that idiot loves to think wildly." Jin Wu said, "If he finds out, he will cry again."

-

After wandering around for a while, before I knew it, it was sunset time.

Wang Xiaoyuan came back stepping on Hongxia, carrying a few cloth bags full of medicinal herbs on his shoulders.On the veranda, he met Mu Shishi face to face, and handed the cloth bag to her.Mu Shiyi accepted it, but instead of putting on a stiff face, he talked to him uncharacteristically.

"Master Yumen, I need to trouble you a little bit during this time." Mu Shiyi said, "It's been cold in autumn recently, and we are busy with drug testing. The young master's illness has relapsed, and you get close to him, but he only listens." For you, please watch him more."

"Illness?" Wang Xiaoyuan asked in a daze, "...Recurrence?"

Mu Shiyi glanced at the main room indifferently, "It's a residual poison of one phase and one blindness. You also know that he took the pill of return a while ago. Although the medicine is really a panacea for life and death, it is not all life-prolonging. Didn't you see that the young master was tired and had hemoptysis during this time?"

Wang Xiaoyuan was a little lost when he heard that, "No...he didn't tell me..."

"You should also pay attention to rest, and don't exert too much force on your hands and feet." Mu Shiyi lowered his head and touched his wrist lightly with his fingers, "If the pain is really severe in rainy days, you can go with me and the rest of Kibe explain."
