Gu Qiang raised her eyes and listened to the man's words. She always felt that Xiao Hanlong's name had a cold temperament, and he seemed to be a person who was not easy to get close to.
"Xiao Hanlong is on the mountainside next to my residence. I hope you can find her." After the poison doctor finished speaking, a waiter came in from the outside and motioned to Gu Qiang and Gu Suliang to follow him.
After leaving the Poison Doctor's courtyard, we headed west. The road was very long. Gu Qiang and Gu Su Liang were already very tired, so they were exhausted from walking on this road.
Finally, when he could no longer hold on, the waiter stopped in front of a simple courtyard.
This courtyard is not very big. Compared with the exaggerated courtyard of the Poison Doctor, it is simply a bit shabby. It is even only as big as some of the Poison Doctor's many rooms.
The waiter turned to Gu Qiang and said, "Miss Xiao should be inside."
Then he knocked on the door and called inside: "Is Miss Xiao here?"
Pushing the door open with one hand, a woman in purple clothes stretched her head and looked outside. When she saw Gu Suliang and Gu Qiang, she let out a sigh.
When Gu Qiang met the woman's face, he also looked at her in surprise.
It turned out to be that woman...
The woman who saved Gu Qiang and Gu Suliang when they were assassinated and left alone by men in black.
Gu Qiang immediately gave the girl a simple salute, raised his eyes and looked at her quietly.
The girl stood up and walked out, hugged her arms and looked Gu Qiang up and down again, then turned to look at Gu Suliang, and then asked: "Are you two looking for me? If I had known this, I should have done it at that time. Bringing it back to you can also save some time, I've been back for a while."
Gu Qiang smiled, and the waiter continued: "This girl wants to come over and ask if you have any more blood grass here."
Xiao Hanlong's expression changed instantly, from the previous relaxation to nervousness.
"Why do you want that kind of thing? Could it be that someone used their heart's blood to restore memory?" Xiao Hanlong asked coldly.
Gu Qiang nodded.
After Xiao Hanlong was stunned, he finally said helplessly: "What kind of memories are worth remembering? But then again, I don't have blood grass in my hand. On the day I saved you, it happened to be me. The day I went to collect the blood grass, you also saw the result and returned empty-handed."
Gu Qiang's heart was gradually sinking, as if she couldn't accept this result.
"Where is the blood grass? Can I find it?" Gu Qiang asked.
Xiao Hanlong turned to look at Gu Qiang, seeming to be a little contemptuous, and said: "I'm afraid you can't do it. With your small body, it is probably difficult to go to that mountain, but if you are not afraid of death and want to give it a try, then That's also fine."
She went into the house and searched, and found a piece of paper from the room. She raised it and said, "This time the blood grass grows like this. It is on the mountain at the junction of Hongzhou and Beijing. As long as you find the highest Mountain, search carefully on the top of the mountain, maybe you can still find it.”
Gu Qiang and Gu Su Liang exchanged glances, and Gu Su Liang nodded and said, "Give it a try, girl. You can't just go home empty-handed, right?"
Gu Suliang just wanted to save her master. She was the only one who saw how much his master cried for Gu Qiang. Now there is finally a chance for Gu Qiang to repay Shen Qianshan, and Gu Qiang herself should be willing to do so.
Gu Qiang nodded, and the two of them prepared to head towards the mountain.
After seeing the two people walking far away, the waiter asked Xiao Hanlong nervously: "Girl, do you really have no blood-returning grass? Now is the time when the blood-returning grass is luxuriant. Have you really returned empty-handed?"
Xiao Hanlong's eyes lit up, he turned around and grabbed the basket behind him, raised it and said, "I have a lot, and I picked all the blood-returning grass on the mountain. They can't find it anyway."
The waiter was puzzled. This Xiao Hanlong was a very gentle woman. She had not been so scheming before. Going up the mountain to collect herbs was already a very hard job. If Xiao Hanlong felt that he did not want to give Gu Qiang this blood grass in vain, he would ask for more. Some money is good, but after all, treating diseases and practicing medicine, isn’t it all about money in the end
"Why did you do this?" the waiter asked.
Xiao Hanlong's expression suddenly became very bad and said: "I have asked the poison doctor before. This woman is the eldest daughter of the Gu family in the capital and the famous Princess Luoping."
"Oh, she is really a very powerful woman. I have heard more or less about this woman." The waiter suddenly realized.
But Xiao Hanlong's expression became even colder, and she said word by word: "This woman is the woman who indirectly killed Du Ning. If I knew it was her, I would definitely not save her, but okay Now that I have the opportunity, sending them to the mountains to fend for themselves is my most benevolent and righteous act."
After Xiao Hanlong finished speaking, he put away his expression, turned around and left the yard.
The waiter stood there thinking for a long time before finally remembering.
This Xiao Hanlong had a very good relationship with the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River. The wealthy businessman's daughter's name was Su Shuangning. The Su family was a medical family with a high status in the capital. Later, the foundation of the capital was burned down by a fire. Not to mention, the eldest daughter of the Su family, Su Shuangning, was also sent to live in the Ninth Prince's home in the capital.
The Ninth Prince and Su Shuangning were cousins. Su Shuangning seemed to like the Ninth Prince, but at that time, the Ninth Prince had already had a close relationship with Princess Luoping, and there was no room for a third person.
Later, I heard that Su Shuangning had captured Princess Luoping and threatened the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince became angry and gave the evidence of his uncle's family's crime to the emperor. The Su family fell apart overnight.
After the waiter thought about these things carefully, he felt very strange in his heart. No matter how he thought, this matter was Su Shuangning's fault. It made no sense that Xiao Hanlong had a hand in it. Who can explain things clearly about feelings? It is a matter between the parties involved, and it has been so many years since it happened. What does it matter who is right and who is wrong
The waiter shook his head and left.
Xiao Hanlong sat quietly in the yard, looking at the medicinal materials in front of him. He always felt that he had done something wrong, but what was the mistake
Su Shuangning was her good friend. Her family living conditions were not very good. When the Su family was in Jiangnan, they had a big business, strong abilities, and a good life. They had always helped and supported her.
There was no way I could repay this kindness, but the Su family fell apart in an instant. I couldn't understand the collapse of this family that was like my hometown at all.
If people are mixed with personal emotions, it is difficult for them to make correct judgments, and mistakes will inevitably occur.
But her feelings for the Su family forced her to make a biased choice.
Doesn't she know that Su Shuangning is wrong? But emotionally, it is not unacceptable to spend some thought and means.
She couldn't figure it out no matter how much she thought about it. She angrily knocked all the herbs in front of her to the ground, hugged her knees and started crying.
Gu Qiang and Gu Suliang took the portrait of the blood grass this time and hurried up the mountain.
This mountain is too high. When you are at the bottom of the mountain, you must find the highest mountain, and then go to that mountain. If you choose the wrong mountain when you are at the foot of the mountain, then it will definitely be the wrong one to go up, no matter how far you go. , I couldn’t even find the blood grass.
The mountain the two chose at the foot of the mountain looked very far away. As the old saying goes, Yunwang Mountain is a race to death, so the two of them had to prepare enough dry food and water.
It took them a whole day to reach halfway up the mountain. When they turned around and looked around, they suddenly became panicked.
Gusu Liang pointed to a mountain next to her and said, "Girl, why do I feel... that mountain is higher than the one here?"
Gu Qiang also turned her head, and she really felt this way.
Because we are standing halfway up the mountain, we naturally feel that the mountain on that side is higher, but if this is really the case, it would be too embarrassing, because after all, the distance between the two mountains is not that big when standing on the top of the mountain. It's far away, but you can't fly there, you can only walk there step by step, which is so frustrating.
Gu Qiang thought for a while, then closed her eyes, as if she was making up her mind, and said to Gu Suliang, "Let's go."
After saying that, he walked up by himself, but at this moment Gu Suliang stopped and looked at Gu Qiang firmly: "Girl, is Xiao Hanlong playing tricks on us?"
"Why do you think so? We have no grudges against that woman in the past, so why does she want to play tricks on us?"
This doesn't make sense. If Xiao Hanlong is willing to sell the blood grass to Gu Qiang this time, no matter how much it costs, Gu Qiang will give it to her. But she didn't say the price, she just said no. Then it should mean there really is none. Otherwise, why did Xiao Hanlong save her before? What about her
"She said there is no blood-returning herb in this mountain. People like her who are so familiar with this herb say there is no such herb. How can people like us who are completely unfamiliar with herb go looking for it?" Gusu Liang said.
She felt that the way Xiao Hanlong looked at the girl was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. She just felt uncomfortable all over.
Gu Qiang thought for a while and comforted her: "Maybe we are overthinking it. Let's go up."
Gusu Liang knew that it was useless to think too much. Although the illusion kept haunting her, she was broad-minded and immediately forgot about it.
In the evening, they finally reached the top of the mountain.
Standing at the highest point of the mountain, they looked around and finally felt relieved. This mountain was indeed the highest. There was no higher mountain around.
There is a path on the top of the mountain. There are towering trees on both sides of the path. The path is undulating. At the highest point is a platform. There are natural uneven stones on the platform, which are warmed by the sun.
