"This—this is not a snowman—"
Qin Shuang's complexion changed a few times and she let out a cry of surprise, and immediately took a step back.
The entire tea garden went up the mountain, all of which were well-built terraces. The place where Qin Shuang was standing was close to the stone wall, and the crooked snowman was leaning against the side of the stone wall.
From a distance, it looked like a human figure, and it was covered with white snow. It naturally reminded people of the snowman at the first time, but when he walked in, Qin Shuang saw a collar protruding from the back of the snowman's neck. Along the stone wall, not every part of the "snowman" is covered with white snow, and if it is a real snowman built by others, how can there be a collar? !
Qin Shuang's complexion changed a few times, and Wan Qing, who was following along, also saw it, and hurriedly pulled Qin Shuang back two steps.
From this side, Qin Wan and Sun Muqing also strode over, followed closely by Wan Xing and Fu Ling. When they came up to take a look, they all looked one sided. Almost at the same time, Qin Wan and Sun Muqing walked forward together. go.
The medicine garden was covered with snow. The "Snowman" squatted on the ground and his body was completely white, curled up into a ball that almost merged with the surrounding snow. Warm, only the part of the collar is a bit weird, and if it is too far away, it will not be noticeable at all.
Sun Muqing squinted her eyes, took two steps forward, rolled her sleeves and flicked the snowman's head. With this flick, the top of a cotton hat was immediately exposed. Seeing this, Sun Muqing took a tight breath and leaned over to push the "snowman" The white snow on his body was brushed away more vigorously. With this brushing, not only the hat was exposed, but also a person's face was exposed. Seeing this, Qin Wan hurried over to help, and the two of them brushed off the snow on the "snowman" neatly. When it landed on the ground, it turned out that under the thick white snow, there was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a dark face curled up there...
The man curled up here for an unknown amount of time, with his hands folded on his knees, his whole body was as stiff as if he had been frozen, his eyes were closed, his face was serene, there was a piece of ice on his eyelashes, and his whole body seemed lifeless.
"Oh my god, it's a dead person..." Qin Shuang hugged Wan Qing's arm, half of her body was hidden behind Wan Qing, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back, if she touched it without seeing clearly just now, she would be even more afraid now .
"Not necessarily." Sun Muqing said three words with a serious look on his face. He continued to clean the snow off the man's body. He wanted to pull his hands out of his sleeves, but the thick padded jacket on his body was also frozen. His body was very stiff, his hands were clasped together, and he couldn't pull it out no matter how hard he tried, Sun Muqing quickly reached out to his neckline again.
Sun Muqing concentrated on perception for a moment, then quickly turned around, "I'm not dead yet! Quick, go back and call Uncle Dong—"
Sun Muqing looked at Fu Ling and Wan Xing, Fu Ling looked at Qin Wan again, Qin Wan nodded, Fu Ling pulled Wan Xing and ran back, Qin Shuang came forward with wide-open eyes, "You're not dead yet?!"
With Sun Muqing here, Qin Wan only needs to stand where he is. Sun Muqing continued, "The body temperature has not completely dropped, and there is still a weak pulse around his neck, but I don't know if it can be rescued."
Qin Shuang frowned slightly, and was relieved when he found out that the person was not dead, "Did he faint from the cold?"
Sun Muqing shook her head and nodded again, "It can be understood that the temperature on his body is already very low, and he looks like he is asleep, but this sleep is because his body temperature cannot be maintained, and all internal organs are exhausted."
Qin Shuang didn't understand so much. Before Uncle Dong and the others came, she turned her head and looked around in surprise, "This is the medicine garden of Baicaoyuan. How did this person get in? Is he from the Baicaoyuan? servant?"
Sun Muqing looked at the clothes on the man's body and shook her head, "It's probably not the clothes, it looks like a villager from somewhere."
The frozen man was wearing a worn-out cotton jacket, his hair was standing up, and he was wearing a black cotton hat. He was dressed like a villager in a nearby village, but he was fine. How could he here
"This medicine garden is not fenced, anyone can come in, it's just that no one comes here normally." Sun Muqing looked at the man for a while, and suddenly found several plucked ginseng plants under the man's feet, and he frowned. , "A drug thief?"
Qin Wan also saw those wild ginseng in an instant. There was soil on the wild ginseng. At a glance, he knew that it had just been pulled out and had not been cleaned up, and it happened to be right next to this man.
Qin Wan raised her eyebrows, feeling a little absurd.
"A medicine thief came to steal medicine at night, but he froze himself in the medicine garden?"
Sun Muqing also felt a little strange, "No matter what he came here for, try to save him first!"
Qin Wan naturally had no objection. She looked at the place for a while, then turned to look at the medicine garden below, but she didn't see anything strange. The snow only stopped this morning, even if the ground was pulled for a while. Unable to see, Qin Wan looked left and right, and found a stick on the side. She picked up the stick and dragged it on the ground a few times, and she saw the stalk of wild ginseng.
"This is the wild ginseng planted here..."
Qin Wan said softly, and Sun Muqing nodded, "It seems that this person really came here to steal medicine."
He said with a wry smile, "Brother, it seems impossible that this medicine garden does not have a fence. Although there are no people in this area for ten miles, it does not mean that no one has the idea of this medicine garden. Once and a half times is enough. If you recruit many people Come on, brother, this medicine garden will be planted in vain."
Qin Wan also sighed a little. Although the man who stole the wild ginseng was not worth tens of thousands of gold, stealing is always not a gentleman.
Qin Shuang snorted softly, "This person actually came to steal the medicine. Such a person stole our medicine and asked us to save him. Really..."
Sun Muqing was also a bit helpless, thieves are not worthy of sympathy, but the crime of stealing does not deserve death, Sun Muqing and Qin Wan can't do nothing, after waiting for a while, several figures appeared in the direction of the west door!
Besides Fu Ling and Wan Xing, Uncle Dong and Qin Yan also came with him. Uncle Dong also brought two servants behind him. When he saw Qin Wan and the others below, he immediately walked over. Sun Muqing saw them coming. He hurriedly said, "Uncle Dong, take a look at this person, do you recognize him?"
Uncle Dong walked up to him in a few steps, stared at the man for a while and shook his head, "I don't know, this man is..."
Sun Muqing briefly talked about the process of discovering this person just now, and then pointed to the wild ginseng on the ground, "I guess he came to steal the medicine, but I don't know why he almost died of freezing here. Uncle Dong, although he is probably a thief, People need to be saved, so carry him into the house."
"That's natural, that's natural, hurry up, carry it in..."
When Uncle Dong gave an order, the two servants who followed immediately picked him up.
Sun Muqing hurriedly said, "Be careful, he is easily injured now..."
Seeing that the two male servants ran up the man, and the others followed behind, Qin Shuang had long since lost her interest in having fun, and became a little nervous. If this man really died, it would be very unfortunate. So it's better for this person not to die.
Seeing that he was about to enter the west side door, Sun Muqing hurriedly said, "Send him to me first, Uncle Dong, and find some hot ashes."
As soon as Sun Muqing ordered, Uncle Dong responded and entered the courtyard gate. The two male servants carried the man to the west at a very fast pace. Due to the thick snow, Qin Wan and the others gradually couldn't catch up. When he reached the gate of Sun Muqing's courtyard, he saw Qin Xiang standing at the gate and looking inside. He turned his head when he heard the movement, and frowned when he saw Qin Wan and Qin Shuang running away panting. , "The two of you are away from home, representing the etiquette of the Qin family's daughter, why are you so unruly?"
Qin Xiang's lesson made Qin Wan frowned, she didn't even look at Qin Xiang, and went straight in, Qin Shuang saw Qin Wan like this, and followed with a soft snort, Qin Xiang looked at Qin Xiang who had been following behind her before Now Shuang is only obedient to Qin Wan's order, and her eyes darken involuntarily.
In the yard, two male servants were carrying snow in basins and walking into the house. Qin Yan and Uncle Dong were standing at the door, and even Zhou Huai was standing in the yard. Come to me, "Aren't you scared?"
Qin Shuang shook her head again and again, "At first... I thought it was a dead person at first, but I didn't expect to be alive. As long as it is not a dead person, it will be fine."
Qin Yan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, Mr. Sun is saving people inside, so don't go in yet."
Qin Shuang stretched his neck and looked inside, "How did you save it?"
Qin Yan also looked at the main room, "Take off all the clothes of the man, first rub the limbs with snow to warm them, and then iron the heart with hot ash."
As soon as he heard that the man's clothes were all taken off, Qin Shuang immediately retracted his neck, turned to look at Qin Wan and said, "Ninth Sister, how would you save that man?"
Qin Wan came back to his senses, "It's the same."
Qin Shuang let out an "oh" and asked again, "Can that person be saved?"
Qin Wan nodded, "There is an 80% chance that I can be rescued."
Qin Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, and said after a while, "Why didn't this person know how to call for help when he was too cold? Why did he lean against the wall and fell asleep? The Ximen is so close..."
"He is a drug thief, so naturally he would not come to your door for help. What's more, people will unconsciously fall asleep after their body temperature drops in cold weather, and sometimes they will have the illusion of being very hot. He was caught by the body without warning. He became stiff a little bit but he didn't notice it, even at the last moment of being frozen to death, he might still be dreaming of warming himself by the fire."
Qin Shuang was slightly dumbfounded, and said after a while, "So, this kind of dead person won't feel pain?"
Qin Wan nodded, "That's probably the case. It's just uncomfortable when you wake up at first, and then you don't feel anything. After your body temperature gets lower and lower, you still feel like you're soaking in warm water until you can't make a sound, so it's really frozen to death." Most people have peaceful faces and no pain—"
Qin Wan spoke slowly, and the two male servants in the room came out to fill the snow after a short while. After going back and forth like this, after two cups of tea, there was a cheer, and Uncle Dong who was standing at the door laughed, "Excuse me!" The young master is really powerful, even the young master can save people without alarming..."
In the room, Sun Muqing said loudly, "It's best not to alarm senior brother. Is senior brother still making medicine?"
"The young master met Mr. Qin and Miss Qin at that time, and now he is talking to young master Bai."
As Uncle Dong said, Sun Muqing was slightly surprised, "Young Master Bai?"
"Yes, it is Young Master Feijue. He has been here long ago, but recently he often goes out to buy medicine for his wife. Like the young master, he is eager to treat her illness. He has taken all the good medicinal materials in Yuanzhou. He just came back last night, and the Young Master Biao hadn't gotten up when he passed by just now, but he is going to go to Yuanzhou again after talking with the Young Master."
Sun Muqing was overjoyed, "I didn't expect Big Brother Feijue to be here too! I didn't hear from my brother when I passed by in the morning! When will he come back? I must see him!"
"Young master knows that Young Master Biao knows a word. If you can say a word, you don't say a few words. This time, Young Master Bai's words are at least one or two days, and at most two or three days. Young Master Biao will definitely see you."
Hearing Uncle Dong's words, Sun Muqing felt relieved, "Okay, then I won't be in a hurry to waste his time now, by the way, is the sister-in-law awake?"
Uncle Dong sighed heavily outside, "Not yet, this time I'm afraid I'll have to sleep for a few more days..."
"Then don't disturb the senior brother, let him concentrate on treating the sister-in-law to accompany the sister-in-law." Sun Muqing confessed, and then said, "I have a prescription. Although this man is alive, he was frostbitten. It will take a few days to raise him, and when he wakes up, ask him where he is... "
Uncle Dong nodded, "Master Biao, you can open it. There is not much in the house, except for the medicinal materials."
Sun Muqing laughed, "That's good, please trouble Uncle Dong."
He said a few more words inside, and saw that the two male servants carried out the man just now. When he was carried in, the man was curled up together, but now his body was stretched out and flattened. They came out of the main room , and then carried the man into the left wing of the yard.
Qin Shuang opened his eyes wide, "Why... let this person live with Mr. Sun?"
When the words were settled, Sun Muqing just came out, smiled and waved her hands and said, "It's not in the way, it's not in the way! There is just a vacant wing in this yard, let him live here, and it is difficult to clean other places."
Uncle Dong laughed and said, "Master Biao's temperament has not changed, he has no airs at all."
Sun Muqing flicked the hem of her robe, and said very plainly, "I'm not a master, what kind of airs do I want..."
This remark was quite joking, and Uncle Dong laughed out loud, "When Master Gu heard what Young Master Biao said, he wanted to punish Young Master Biao for copying the recipe..."
Sun Muqing blinked, "That's why I said it here..."
Everyone smiled for a while, and Uncle Dong said, "If this man is really a thief, I don't know what happened to the medicine garden outside. People were sent to look at the medicine garden every day at noon, but I haven't had time today. Bring the medicine here, and now go and tell a few people to go out and have a look, there is no one around here, I really didn't expect someone to steal the medicine."
Uncle Dong left the yard as he spoke, and then the two male servants also left. Now Qin Wan and the others entered the side room to see the man. The man was lying on the bed with only his middle coat on. Covered with a thick brocade quilt, he is of medium height and very thin, with a dark face and chapped lips. At first glance, he looks like a farmer. Now that he was rescued by Sun Muqing, his dark face seemed to be frostbitten It turned red, and Qin Wan and the others confirmed that this person was probably a nearby villager.
"I don't know which village this person is from. Could it be from Sanyuan Village?"
Qin Shuang asked curiously, and Sun Muqing said relaxedly, "It seems that he is an honest person. I think there is no way out because of the need for medicinal materials at home. Let him ask when he wakes up. After all, it is the nearby village. He will wake up tonight at the latest, and if he recovers well, he can go back by himself in a day or two."
Everyone looked at it for a while and then left the room. After going out, Sun Muqing sighed, "I was going out for a walk, but I didn't want to pick up such a big living person..."
The man has been rescued, Sun Muqing's tone is very relaxed, Qin Yan said, "Mr. Sun is also very familiar with the young master of the Bai family?"
Sun Muqing smiled and said, "I can't say I'm acquainted, but the Bai family and the brother are family friends. I met my sister-in-law and brother Bai when I was young. It's been many years since I met."
Qin Yan nodded, "Young master Bai's Qi Yuxuanang is of outstanding literary quality, and it does not live up to Bai's name."
Sun Muqing immediately said "Huh", "Young Master Qin, have you met Big Brother Bai?"
Qin Yan laughed, "No, it's just that when we went to see Miracle Doctor Sun, we happened to meet Young Master Bai, and we just got to know him after being introduced by Miracle Doctor Sun. I have long admired Bai's name, and it is a great honor to meet the new Patriarch of Bai's family today. .”
Sun Muqing came over suddenly, "So that's the case. It seems that Big Brother Bai has been in good health these years. When he was young, Big Brother Bai was not in good health and was very thin. He and his sister-in-law went to Lianzhou for a short stay. In order to recuperate his body."
Qin Yan immediately said, "Young Master Sun, don't worry, today's young master Bai looks majestic and physically fit."
"That's good, that's good. Their siblings have not been in good health since they were young. I'm still worried."
After saying these words, Sun Muqing hurriedly said, "The skirts of the girls are a little wet when I went out. Go back to the room to warm up, so as not to catch a cold. I will take care of this patient."
At any rate, Sun Muqing is also a direct disciple of the Sun family, and her family background is not low at all, but she actually wants to take care of the patients herself. Qin Yan immediately showed surprise and admiration. Sun Muqing only smiled when she saw it, "Those who practice medicine are basic."
Qin Yan smiled and praised again, and then left Sun Muqing's yard with Qin Wan and the others.
After leaving the courtyard, Qin Xiang asked Qin Yan, "Third brother, is the Bai family very powerful in the east?"
Qin Yan nodded when he heard the words, and said as he walked, "The Bai family was a first-class family in the past. It has produced countless great writers and two queens. Although no one in their family has become an official, there are quite a few people who have been appointed as guest ministers to educate the prince by the emperors of the past. Now their family is still the leader of the world's literati. Now that King Yong of the court has been established as the prince, the emperor immediately Send people to Yizhou, intending to invite several elders of the Bai family to live in the East Palace."
Although it is not a high position and weight, it is a real family of literary giants, even the emperor has to respect and rely on it...
Hearing these words, Qin Xiang felt his heart surge, so he nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Several people went back to their own yards. Qin Shuang followed Qin Wan into the gate of the yard, but instead of going back to her own room, she followed Qin Wan in, "I didn't expect the Bai family to be so powerful. I just thought it was Yaowanggu who was so powerful." Woolen cloth."
After thinking for a while, Qin Shuang said again, "But it's true, the family is right, Doctor Sun and his wife are family friends, and for a family like them, it's not an ordinary family who can have childhood friendship, one of them is a scholar of today. The leader, one is the leader of the sect of medicine in the world, it is really a good match, if Mrs. Sun is not sick, it will be perfect!"
"There is nothing perfect in the world, Mrs. Sun will be fine."
Qin Wan replied lightly, and Qin Shuang sat next to Qin Wan and said, "Have you seen that Young Master Bai?"
Qin Wan shook her head when she heard the words, "Never..."
Qin Shuang seemed a little disappointed, "You haven't seen it before."
Fu Ling smiled and said, "Why is Miss Six asking this?"
Qin Shuang snorted softly, "Fifth Sister has seen it before, she is the only one of the three of us..."
Fu Ling shook her head amusedly, "Miss Six thinks the same way, why does Miss Fifth have to meet you and our miss after seeing you?"
In the past, Qin Shuang didn't even look down on Qin Wan, let alone Fu Ling, but now she can talk to Fu Ling calmly, "Don't think I have this kind of thought, Fifth Sister first had it, Fifth Sister likes to compare with others... "
Fu Ling glanced at Qin Wan, who was expressionless, just smiled and stopped talking.
Qin Shuang looked angrily at Qin Wan who didn't answer, "Your words are really less than Dr. Sun's, it's boring!"
Qin Shuang stood up, saw that Qin Wan didn't leave her behind, stomped her feet, turned around and left, Fu Ling felt it was extremely funny, "Oh, how come the more I look at Miss Six, the more cute she is..."
Qin Wan bent her lips, "It's boring on the road, it's okay if someone makes a fuss."
Fu Ling put the charcoal basin in a corner, and poured another cup of tea for Qin Wan, "That's right, it's good that Miss Six likes to follow Miss now, after leaving Jinzhou, the princess can't accompany Miss, although Miss Six You can't go with the lady, but there is someone who is making trouble in your ear, otherwise the servant is afraid that the lady will become more and more tempered."
Qin Wan laughed when he heard the words, "How can it be so serious..."
As she said this, a wave of melancholy filled her heart. It had been half a month since she left Jinzhou, and usually, she would go to the Hou's Mansion in a few days. She didn't know what Yue Ning was doing, nor how the Taichang Princess was. I don't know what happened to Yao Xinlan.
"Should we not receive the letter until we arrive in the capital?"
Qin Wan asked a question that she already knew the answer to, and Fu Ling nodded, "What do miss want to know?"
Qin Wan looked at the white snow field outside the window, "I want to know if sister-in-law has left the Qin residence."
Fu Ling sighed, "If Master Yao came here in person, he should be able to leave. This servant feels that the Young Madam has changed a bit. Once she figured it out, and with the influence of the Yao family, it should be possible!"
"I hope so..."
"Miss, do you want to sleep for a while?"
Qin Wan didn't have the habit of taking a nap, but because she didn't sleep well last night, she really felt a little sleepy, so she nodded when she heard that, "Okay, I'll go to sleep—"
Qin Wan slept for an hour after taking a nap this afternoon. When she got up and went out of the inner room, she saw Qin Shuang sitting on the couch by the window again. She was holding a plate of tea cakes and was reading a book while eating. The book was Qin Wan’s miscellaneous notes on landscapes that she had nothing to read in the past few days. Seeing that she had read it on her own initiative, Qin Wan didn’t say anything, but Qin Shuang raised her head sharply, “Why have you slept for so long? Do you want to eat tea cakes, this tea cakes are really delicious... "
Qin Wan shook his head, looked at Qin Shuang's puffed cheeks and sighed, after eating like this, the lines that just appeared on Qin Shuang's face would become round again, Qin Shuang didn't know Qin Wan's sigh at all, and only sighed, "Better than Yanjiang The ones on the side are delicious."
Qin Wan felt helpless, seeing that it was already afternoon outside, he asked, "Is that person awake?"
Qin Shuang shook his head, "I don't know, Mr. Sun didn't come to say."
Qin Wan was a bit worried, although he trusted Sun Muqing's medical skills, he was worried that he would not take care of patients meticulously, "I'll go over and see—"
When Qin Shuang heard that Qin Wan was going out, she immediately stood up, "I'm going too!"
Qin Wan had no choice but to let her go, Fu Ling laughed, only to feel that Qin Wan had an extra tail.
While talking, they went out, and they arrived at Sun Muqing's courtyard, and when they entered the far door, they heard a sound from the side room, Qin Wan and Qin Shuang walked over, and Sun Muqing said, "What do you think? "
Qin Wan's heart moved, and he quickly knocked on the door. Sun Muqing, who was shocked by the movement, turned around and saw that it was Qin Wan who hurriedly stood up, "Ninth Miss, Sixth Miss, please come in..."
Qin Wan entered, "Is he awake?"
Sun Muqing nodded, "Wake up, come and see..."
When Qin Wan walked to the bed, he saw that the man on the bed had already opened his eyes vaguely. Seeing Qin Wan and the others approaching, his eyeballs still moved, but Sun Muqing said, "It's time to wake up for two cups of tea." , but seem speechless."
"Isn't it because your throat is hurt?"
Qin Shuang said anxiously, and Sun Muqing nodded, "It's possible, or he's too weak. I've given him medicine just now. Let's see what happens at night."
Qin Wan was nodding his head, and Qin Shuang said, "Will Ninth Sister not show it to him?"
Qin Wan laughed helplessly, "How can I compare with Mr. Sun..."
Qin Shuang snorted softly, "Why can't you compare, you are the little fairy doctor in our family!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Wan was stunned, and Sun Muqing on the other side was even more stunned. He looked at Qin Wan with wide eyes and didn't speak for a long time...
Qin Shuang was a little puzzled by the weird scene. She looked at Sun Muqing and explained, "Well... don't underestimate the ninth sister... She has treated the Taichang Princess of Anyang Houfu!"
The surprise on Sun Muqing's face calmed down a little bit, and then she sighed, "So it's Miss Nine..."
Qin Wan was a little apologetic. When Sun Muqing asked Yan Chi that day, she was also in front of her. Yan Chi didn't say anything, and she didn't explain it. It was like hiding Sun Muqing from Sun Muqing for many days. Qin Wan lowered her eyes, "I didn't mean not to tell Sun Muqing Son, at that time..."
But Sun Muqing laughed, "I know, I know! It was the second time we met at that time, and Miss Nine is not someone who seeks fame, so I don't want to say that you are the little fairy doctor in Jinzhou City..."
When Qin Wan heard this, she felt even more guilty, and Sun Muqing sighed instead, "Ninth girl is really impressive. The doctors next to you, when they hear the name of Yaowanggu, there is no one who will not rely on it, but you He rejected me from the start."
Sun Muqing was a little relieved and a little excited, "It seems that God has treated me well, and let me meet Nine Girls again, so my trip to Jinzhou will not be in vain... Before, I only thought that Nine Girls are fond of medicine But now it seems that it is not the case. It is said that Princess Taichang's illness was cured by a very famous imperial doctor from the palace, but she was not cured. Above medicine, which senior did Nine Girls learn medicine from?"
Qin Shuang did something bad with good intentions. Qin Wan was a little anxious in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface. She didn't deliberately plan to keep it a secret, but she was worried that Sun Muqing would find out that she learned her medical skills from Yaowanggu.
"I learned it from my parents." No matter who asked Qin Wan, this set of rhetoric was always correct.
Sun Muqing was surprised, "So, your father and Ling Ci have entered the Valley of Medicine Kings?"
Qin Wan smiled wryly when he heard the words, "My father and mother passed away very early. As far as I know, they have not been used in the Valley of Medicine Kings. They taught me a lot when I was a child. It was also accidental that I cured Princess Taichang. Dare to do it."
Sun Muqing was a little apologetic, seeing Qin Wan's sad face, it was even more difficult to ask more questions, while Qin Wan's side was as vague as possible, Sun Muqing just nodded, "I'm really sorry, I didn't know that Jiu girl's parents had passed away—"
Qin Wan bent her lips, "It's okay." She said and looked at the man, "He fell asleep again."
Sun Muqing turned her head to look, and sure enough, the man's eyes were closed, and his breath was long.
"It's fine if you're asleep, but you can't eat right now, you have to wait until night." Sun Muqing said, and took Qin Wan and the others out, and then closed the door before saying, "Dinner is coming soon. Uncle Dong came here and said it will be soon." Bring it."
"Then let's go to Third Brother and wait..."
Qin Shuang yelled, and the group of people headed towards Qin Yan's yard. Sure enough, the afternoon meal was brought over soon, and the meal was laid out on the table. During the meal, Qin Shuang kept looking at Qin Xiang, And just after eating, Qin Shuang pulled Qin Wan and said, "Fifth Sister was absent-minded from eating just now, and she has been talking to Sun Gongzi all the time, does she have any thoughts?"
Qin Wan laughed, "If you're really bored, go for a walk, just don't go too far."
Qin Shuang stared, "You...why are you so..."
"Boring." Qin Wan said these two words for her, and Qin Shuang was so angry and annoyed, Qin Wan watched her and sighed for a few moments, "Okay, let's go to the back, it's cold outside, put on cloak."
"It's more or less—"
Qin Shuang became happy, and she and Qin Wan each put on their cloaks and walked out. Qin Wan didn't intend to walk along the morning road, but unknowingly, she still walked towards the north of the house, and she was still far away. Intentionally or unintentionally, she looked at the courtyard where she heard the sound in the morning, although she restrained herself from suspicion, the cloud that shrouded her heart did not waver away.
"This is the way Miss came here in the morning."
Fu Ling and Wan Xing followed this time. Fu Ling and Wan Xing followed Qin Wan along the footprints in the morning, so when they saw Qin Wan coming again, they asked aloud, and Qin Wan said, "I've been to the west. It’s not easy to disturb the east side, and the south side is the gate of the mansion, we’ve also passed through it, so it’s only this side.”
Fu Ling listened and sighed again, "Next time Miss comes out, please ask us to accompany her. Although this is the house of Dr. Sun, but the snow is so heavy, what if Miss slips on the road outside and sprains her ankle?"
Just as she was talking, Qin Shuang staggered as she raised her foot!
"Miss-"
Wan Qing yelled and helped her up, Qin Shuang was so frightened that she covered her heart, she couldn't help turning around and glaring at Fu Ling, "You crow's mouth... your lady didn't fall, I almost fell..."
Fu Ling smiled helplessly, not offending Qin Shuang who was angry.
"It scared me to death, luckily I didn't fall..."
While talking, suddenly, there was a small cry, Qin Wan didn't care what they said, so he paused.
"Stop talking, what's calling?"
With that said, several people fell silent.
Soon, there was a soft cry of "meow" from the front left.
Qin Shuang stared, "A cat? Is it a cat?"
Qin Wan followed the cry subconsciously, Qin Shuang said helplessly, "You want to find the cat? This house is so big, it's normal to have a few wild cats, and the wild cats are very dirty, you... hey..."
Qin Shuang said a few words, seeing that Qin Wan ignored her, she had no choice but to follow.
Qin Shuang followed Qin Wan to the side of a yard, and then his eyes fell on the alleyway between the two small courtyards. The alleyway looked very old, and the courtyard walls on both sides were covered with moss and spider silk. That slight meow is at the end of the alley.
At the end of the alley, it seems that you can turn right, but looking at this narrow alley, Qin Wan didn't take a step for a while.
"What's the matter? Why don't you go forward?"
While speaking, the meow sounded again, Qin Wan seemed to be touched by something, and was the first to take a step forward, but just as she was about to take a step, Wan Xing suddenly stepped forward and walked in front of her. to the bottom of my head.
Qin Wan glanced at Wan Xing, and followed her briskly.
