A Beauty In Troubled Times

Chapter 33: I don’t know your heart (2)

Views:

Three young men walked out of some alley. The man in the light stone gown in front looked around and walked into a clinic with the two people behind him.

There were not many people in the store. The three of them walked to the counter. There was a woman in her early forties busy dispensing medicine. He Hui looked around and asked in a slightly surprised tone, "Aunt Zhou, why don't you see Uncle Zhou?"

She still kept her head down and was busy with the pharmacy in her hands. She replied angrily, "Didn't your Uncle Zhou go out to see patients in the middle of the night? He went to an inn on East Street, and it seemed he came from the capital. He came back in a hurry in the morning, and here he gave me a list of medicine. It seems like there is something wrong with his eyes..." Aunt Zhou looked at the list of medicine in her hand and muttered to herself.

As the saying goes, the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

When Zhao Pei heard about the midnight, East Street, the capital, and eyes... an idea immediately flashed through her mind. She panicked and asked quickly, "What did you say...? Whose eyes are in trouble?"

Zhao Pei almost leaned on the counter, staring at Aunt Zhou. Aunt Zhou was startled by her and stammered, "This, this young master... you..."

He Hui had no choice but to pull her down by her arm. He understood without her saying anything: "You... Zhao Pei, don't worry too much."

Zhao Pei was panicking. Since she had called the doctor at night, she probably hurt him. She felt guilty. After all, Xiao Yi had no grudge against her, and he was just following orders. How could she leave peacefully

"Brother He, I think..." Zhao Pei looked up at He Hui. Before she could finish, she heard him say, "It's very dangerous to go back now. Have you thought it through?"

Zhao Pei lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, and finally said firmly: "I must go back and take a look, otherwise I will feel uneasy. How about this, Ruhua, you and Brother He wait for me here, I will be back soon."

Ruhua knew that she could never stop Zhao Pei's thoughts, so she nodded helplessly: "Then please go quickly and come back soon, the young master and I will wait for you here."

"Okay." Zhao Pei's eyes narrowed into crescents, and she turned and left. "Zhao Pei!" He Hui looked at her leaving back, his chest tightened, and he called her without thinking.

"Hmm?" Seeing her turn around and look at him doubtfully, he was a little speechless for a moment. He stared at her for a long time before he stammered, "Be careful and act according to circumstances."

The sun shone warmly on his body, and he thought that the sun must be shining brightly at this moment.

Unfortunately, there was only endless darkness before his eyes and he could not see anything.

That little bitch was very decisive in her actions.

"Seventh Master, it's time to change the medicine." Qiao Yu's voice came to his ears, but Xiao Yi waved his hand to refuse.

"Seventh Master, this medicine must be changed. Otherwise, this eye..." Qiao Yu's voice gradually faded away, and he looked at the man sitting in the sun anxiously. The sun shone on his angular face, and the white cloth wrapped in front of his eyes cast a faint shadow. Qiao Yu could not suppress the sigh in his heart, and he let out a breath lightly.

"I know my own eyes." Xiao Yi heard his extremely subtle sigh.

"Seventh Master, I think it's better for you to return early. Go back to Beijing and see the imperial physician." Qiao Yu asked without giving up.

"Have you found her?" Xiao Yi did not answer him, but just asked himself.

Qiao Yu's expression froze for a long time before he replied helplessly, "I have been looking for it since last night, but I haven't found it yet. The city gates have been blocked and no one can get out. As long as there is time, we will find it."

"That's good. Let's wait until we find her before returning to Beijing." Xiao Yi said.

"But, Master Qi, this can't wait. Maybe there is still time... We can't waste it like this."

"Qiao Yu, don't you understand what I'm saying?" Xiao Yi began to get a little annoyed. "Step aside. Let me be quiet for a while."

Feeling Xiao Yi's tone gradually getting colder, Qiao Yu understood that this was a bad sign, and dared not say anything more, and left respectfully. The room gradually became as quiet as before, and Xiao Yi lay quietly on the couch, suddenly having an illusion, where was he? How did it suddenly become like this

There was a kind of hidden hatred that vaguely emerged from the bottom of his heart. He wanted to blame someone but didn't know who to blame. He could only blame himself.

Suddenly he thought of something and stood up. There was a low stool on the ground, and even though Xiao Yi had some skills, he was still caught off guard and tripped, falling forward. Fortunately, his hands touched the table, and he used all his strength to support himself and not fall.

I was a little breathless. I had never experienced that feeling before, a natural fear of sudden things in the dark.

He was now in darkness, and all his senses seemed to become heightened, so much so that he could hear a slightly rapid gasp outside the door.

A smile appeared on his lips, but he pretended not to hear it and returned to the couch. It should have been an awkward movement, but he did it smoothly without any sign of embarrassment.

If he has to live in darkness like this for the rest of his life, will he regret his impulsive actions today? (To be continued)
