Wu Yu

Today is much more relaxed than yesterday, although the limbs are a little weak, but they... no, but Xie Lingyu feels very satisfied, on the other hand, Qingqiu Jue has no good face after coming out of Aunt Sun's house.

The two walked in silence, the one behind was annoyed, and the one in front was secretly laughing.

Seeing that it was just after noon, Xie Lingyu thought about the different time for meals at different households, so she went to the attic where the doctors gathered to see if there was any new progress. There seemed to be arguments, sighs, and some hot-tempered yelling, so let their voices be quieter.

Xie Lingyu smiled, and just about to wink at Qingqiu Jue, when she realized that Qingqiu Jue didn't want to talk to him, her phoenix eyes drooped in displeasure, she turned her head to the side and turned her head to ignore it, it was obvious that she was holding grudges.

Xie Lingyu's smile froze, and he knocked on the door embarrassingly.

There was a moment of silence inside, and then there was a sound of "thunderbolt, bang bang", and the door was opened from the inside after a while. The old man stroked his few strands of beard as if nothing had happened, and smiled at him embarrassedly: "Mr. Awaited."

"It's okay, I'm sorry to bother you." Xie Lingyu shook his head indifferently, and walked in curiously to have a look. This group of people was in a mess just now, and now they are all staring at the medical books, as if there is some kind of golden house inside. , Xie Lingyu rubbed his hands, "Is there any use for up and down?"

As he said, he glanced around, the ground was quite clean, it should have been tidied up just now, the boy at the door was busy drying herbs and grinding medicinal powder, he looked orderly, there was really nothing he could use.

The old Langzhong and the other doctors looked at each other for a while, and finally said: "How can I bother you, my lord..."

"Hey, stop." Xie Lingyu slapped the folding fan on his hand helplessly, and the fan turned back in response. His eyes suddenly lit up when he glanced at the basket for collecting herbs, "Where can I find this herb?"

The old doctor understood what he meant, he hesitated and looked back at the others, but found that no one was sure, bowed his head in silence, the old doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, "This... this herb..."

"My lord, why don't you take a rest, this old man is going to make tea and water for you..." He didn't dare to really ask Xie Lingyu to collect medicine, so he could only talk about him, and found an excuse to escape.

Xie Lingyu stretched out his hand to hold the old doctor, and sighed deeply, "Old man, can you just find me something to do? Tell me about the herbs you need."

The old doctor still hesitated, and it was the gangster-like doctor who impatiently picked up the medicine basket and handed it to Xie Lingyu, and said to the old doctor with an annoyed expression, "You old man, why are you so disciplined? What are you afraid of when you are idle?"

As he spoke, he took out a dusty book from the messy table. The book looked as if they had sorted it out by themselves, and it was not far from the shelf. It will become so shabby in a short period of time.

He subconsciously moved lightly, blew the dust as if nothing had happened, dusted it with his hands casually, then threw it into the basket and handed it to Xie Lingyu, "Here are the herbs I need, young master, you can go to Luomei Mountain outside the town found."

As he spoke, he seemed uneasy, so he told him in detail which places in the mountains he couldn't go to and which things he couldn't pick.

Xie Lingyu was overwhelmed by flattery, and seeing them talking endlessly, she had no choice but to pull Qingqiu Jue who was behind him with a stinky face, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, my Xiaoqing knows a little bit about medical books, so it's okay to go with him when I go. good."

The stinky Xiaoqing instantly turned into a shy Xiaoqing. He seemed extremely embarrassed, and said, "I just know a little bit."

These two are enough, and identifying medicinal herbs is an introductory study.

Only then did the gentlemen feel relieved, and warmly led them two horses. Xie Lingyu bowed his hands to them gratefully, put on the medicine basket on his back, turned on the horse, clamped the horse's belly with his calf, and rode away against the wind and sunshine. go.

Qingqiu Jue left everyone's sight and turned into that dead look again, Xie Lingyu looked at him, then gave him a kick with his own horse, and said amusedly, "What are you doing, are you really angry?"

Qingqiu Jue lowered his eyes and snorted coldly.

Xie Lingyu chuckled, it seemed all right, so he stopped coaxing.

Luomei Mountain is not far away. They paid attention to other small towns when they passed by. From a distance, everything was normal. There were no people in the afternoon, but there were many woodcutters walking back shoulder to shoulder with their backs. There were also many people in the market. Fewer people move around.

"What do you think?" Xie Lingyu withdrew his gaze, and looked sideways at Qingqiu Jue, "Everything here is as usual, it doesn't seem to be fake."

It's just strange that this small town is adjacent to Fan Town, not to mention that there are a large number of people going up to the mountains to collect herbs every day, and the gossip in the market is pervasive, how can it be silent?

But if they already knew, they must be in panic, and it is impossible for them to be so leisurely.

Qingqiu Jue stroked the horse's mane thoughtfully, "The source is not here, and the news has been suppressed... It should be within these two days, don't worry about it."

Xie Lingyu understood, she understood what Qingqiu Jue meant to get the news in just two days, the whole story was clear at a glance, although they already had guesses in their minds, they still had to pay attention to evidence in everything.

It was hard to stabilize the man in the capital. If the evidence is insufficient and the magistrate bites back, he will be suspicious at that time. Wouldn't all the previous efforts be in vain?

"Here we are." An indifferent voice came, and Xie Lingyu finally came back to his senses.

There was a forest in front of him, and hares could be vaguely seen shuttling among the bushes. Xie Lingyu didn't waste any time, just took out the medical book and followed Qingqiu Jue, when suddenly the person in front stopped.

Xie Lingyu almost didn't rein in the horse, and he rushed forward a little bit, he wondered: "What's wrong?"

The person in front didn't speak, and threw a bottle of medicinal powder over. Xie Lingyu held his breath and opened it, thinking it was another strong fragrance, but unexpectedly it was a faint fragrance.

"Sprinkle some on your body." Qingqiu Jue said without looking back as he led the way.

Xie Lingyu said as she said, and felt that it smelled good, so she asked curiously, "What's this about?"

The person in front seemed to pause for a while, and the wind blew to Xie Lingyu's ear in a casual voice, which seemed a little vague, "Snake drive."

Xie Lingyu was stunned for a moment, the hand holding the porcelain bottle was tightened, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, and he paced the horse and followed behind him.

"Aren't you angry?" Xie Lingyu leaned over and put the porcelain bottle into his arms carefully, and the two brothers seemed to put their arms around his shoulders, "Have you ever picked herbs?"

When I first saw Qingqiu Jue, I thought he was an elegant and gentle son, but after getting to know him a little bit, I thought he was like a bandit who set fire to a mountain.

The clear and warm breath approached, and there was some itching in the entanglement of the hair, but this time Qingqiu Jue didn't dodge, but just shook his shoulders symbolically, seeing that he didn't shake the person away, he didn't move, just moved lightly. Responded, "Yeah."

Xie Lingyu looked at him sideways, and the mottled sunlight among the forest leaves was imprinted on Qingqiu Jue's face. When he lowered his eyes, he was indifferent and distant, but he was infected by the warmth and gentleness.

It's hard to imagine him quietly identifying herbs with a medicine basket on his back, I just think that maybe that scene is eye-catching.

The medicinal herbs recorded in the book have different habits. The two tied their horses by the tree and searched carefully with the medicinal baskets on their backs. Xie Lingyu didn't understand these things, but felt that they all looked alike.

Qingqiu Jue glanced around casually, picking off a few herbs from time to time, some of which seemed difficult to distinguish, so he sniffed lightly a few times, and filled most of the medicine basket in a short while.

Xie Lingyu frowned and compared the medical books with several herbs. A long, slender hand stretched out and put the herbs into the basket for him. "That's right. If you're not sure, come and ask me. Don't just stand there."

Xie Lingyu was moved, and was about to nod when he heard the next sentence.

"waste time."

Xie Lingyu: "...Oh."

The two went to the depths of the forest, where the trees became more lush and quieter. Some shade-loving herbs grew by the pool and the lake. The soil here was a bit wet, and their boots got a lot of mud.

Xie Lingyu learned to be smart, he compared the medical books for a while, then turned around and asked people if he was not sure, and he really memorized these herbs along the way.

They approached the lake. The lake seemed to be quite big. The stone mountains were piled up to form a small waterfall, and the water flowed down continuously, stirring up a white spray.

But the water by the lake was really calm, beautiful emerald green, crystal clear, he couldn't help but reach in, the thin undercurrent flowed across his fingertips, cool and comfortable.

Xie Lingyu turned his head and was about to invite Qingqiu Jue to join him, when suddenly he was attracted by a foreign object out of the corner of his eye, and accompanied by a crisp baby cry, he looked up in shock, and subconsciously moved forward.

But someone was faster than him, the gray and black figure flashed past Xie Lingyu's eyes, Qingqiu Jue tapped the rock with his toes, and in a few breaths he passed over the top of the waterfall like a falcon, he hugged the basket and held it firmly It fell on Xie Lingyu's side, and the strong wind came, but he was as light as a swallow.

The two stood in the breeze, neither of them spoke.

They looked at the basket together, and when they looked at each other, they saw bewilderment in each other's eyes.

After a long while, Xie Lingyu regained his composure. He saw Qingqiu Jue's body was stiff, and his eyes were fixed on the cub in the basket. This is a very cute baby.

His eyes were big and his mouth was slightly pouting, probably because he was frightened just now, but his eyelashes were still wet. He suddenly calmed down for no reason at this moment, and smiled cheerfully at them, looking at them without fear of life at all. It's very pleasing to the eye, and it's actually somewhat familiar.

Of course, if...he didn't nibble on Qingqiu Jue's fingers, it would be even cuter.

Xie Lingyu cleared his throat, looked at Qingqiu Jue's livid and stiff face, tentatively reached out to grab the baby's armpit, the child tilted his head in doubt, blinked his big grape-like eyes, and cooperated Stretch out the little fleshy hand to hug.

Qingqiu Jue breathed a sigh of relief calmly, put his hand into the water and stirred it a few times in disgust.

Xie Lingyu moved gently, and carefully carried the child into his arms. During the process, the swaddling clothes loosened a little, revealing the white jade pendant inside. He reached out and took out the jade pendant, with the word "Su" engraved on it.

"Su...Little Su?" Xie Lingyu smiled, raised his eyebrows, and called out gently to the baby.

"Hmm... um..." Xiao Asu seemed to know his name, waving his fleshy little hand twice in the air, pouted and hummed.

Seeing this, Xie Lingyu smiled even more. He raised his head and looked at Qingqiu Jue beside him, his eyes were full of smiles, clear and clean.

Amidst the giggling of little Asu, Qingqiu Jue subconsciously looked away for some reason, raised his hand slightly, and put it down quickly.

I just feel that the forest is hot and dry, and my heart beats faster.
