In the past few days this summer, most of the time has been spent on returning gifts from officials of different sizes for Lu Yi. After Lu Yi has screened, who can receive gifts and who can't, and return them one by one, the entire city of Yangzhou. She drove the carriage around, guessing that the horse's calf was about to cramp.
Just after noon, she hurriedly hurried back, thinking about getting back at lunch time, just parked the carriage and entered the corner gate in the backyard of Guanyi, when she was pulled back into the carriage again.
"Sir? What's wrong?" She looked at Lu Yi and wondered.
"Did you take the medicine that Mrs. Shen gave you last time?" Lu Yi got into the carriage and asked her in a low voice after the curtain was lowered.
Nod this summer.
"Out of the west of the city, I'll take you to meet someone," he said.
"Who?"
"You'll know when you arrive."
I was stunned this summer, so I didn't ask any more questions. The car drove west of the city according to his instructions, and finally stopped outside the lush bamboo forest.
Passing through this bamboo forest is where Mrs. Shen lives, she wondered: Could it be that Mrs. Shen is back
Walking with Lu Yi into the bamboo forest, I don't know what method Mrs. Shen used when she left. There were many fewer snakes in the bamboo forest. I occasionally saw one or two, but they were also in a high place with no interest. of pedestrians.
Going straight into the depths of the bamboo forest, Lu Yi went straight into Mrs. Shen's house.
After following her this summer, she saw that the house was still empty. Obviously, Mrs. Shen hadn't come back. She went straight to the inside, only to see a person lying on the bamboo bed with unclear face. When she looked closer, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"He, he... is he Arui?"
Lu Yi's face was sinking, and he nodded.
This summer is incredulous: "How could he... become like this?"
In front of him, A Rui, who was lying on the bamboo bed, was covered with Lu Yi's robe. Just looking at his face, there were many scars, which were already red, swollen and festering.
This summer, he lifted up his robe a little. There were also many wounds on Ah Rui's body, all of which were festering like the wounds on his face. Although they had been cleaned, they were still terrifying and hard to see. She frowned, squatted down to examine the wounds carefully, and found that the wounds were not deep, there were no fatal injuries, and the most important thing was that the wounds were poisonous.
The person who wounded him was just deliberately teasing him, slashing all over his body, but none of them took his life. The intention was for him to slowly fester and suffer to death.
"This is the poison on the sword in the sleeve of the oriental man. It's the same poison you got in the previous episode, sir. It's just so many wounds... Could it be that he has met an enemy?" This Xia was puzzled, and took out Mrs. Shen from her arms and left it behind. He was about to give him the medicine, but was stopped by Lu Yi.
"I'm coming." He took the medicine, "Mrs. Shen said that this medicine should be taken internally or externally, right?"
This summer nodded: "Yes."
"You go and boil some water."
Lu Yi sent her out, and only then took off his robe and gave A Rui medicine, during which A Rui had been in a coma. By the time the water came in this summer, A Rui's injuries had already been treated with medicine. This summer, I dissolved the pills in warm water and fed him little by little with a small wooden spoon.
After all that could be done, this summer he exhaled and asked Lu Yi, "Sir, what's going on?"
Lu Yi frowned deeply: "When I found him, he was already like this."
"Could it be that there are still Orientals around here? Didn't they kill them last time?" Guess this summer, "But with A Rui's skills, if there are only one or two Orientals, they shouldn't be injured like this... Sir, you said you found him, Have you been looking for him?"
She is really sharp in some things, and surprisingly slow in some things, Lu Yi looked at her and said truthfully: "I talked to him once, and then I thought he would come to me soon, but he He never came, and then I heard that Shangguanxi was also looking for him... "
This Xia glanced at A Rui, then turned to Lu Yi: "What are you talking about with him?"
But Lu Yi didn't want to say any more: "I guess it was Yan Shifan who found something and attacked him. It's just that I don't understand, how could Yan Shifan be poisoned by the Orientals?"
"He, did he collude with the Orientals?" Jin Xia was horrified, "To collude with Japanese pirates, his courage is too fat!"
Lu Yi was silent, staring at A Rui who was unconscious on the bamboo bed.
This summer, I was looking at A Rui as I put my elbows on my cheeks, and suddenly I remembered something: "Sir, we will leave for Zhejiang tomorrow, what will he do?"
"take away."
Lu Yi has long thought that although Yan Shifan has left Yangzhou, Yangzhou still has his eyes and ears. A Rui can't stay here and can only take him away. He has also considered the specific arrangement: "Tomorrow, you will hire two carriages, one of which is specially designed to hold those gifts, order Yang Yue to guard the carriage, and then let Arui hide in this carriage."
This summer, I suddenly understood that there are many gifts in the car, and it would be a hassle to lose one. Idle people would not approach the carriage in order to avoid suspicion. With Yang Yue guarding the carriage, it was more appropriate.
"He's injured so badly, what should I do if he dies?" There were hundreds of wounds on A Rui's face, far exceeding Lu Yi's previous injuries. This summer, he was worried that he would not be able to survive.
Lu Yi was silent for a long time before he said in a low voice: "He has an enemy in his heart, and such a person will always have a hard life. He still has a crush in his heart, and thinking of her, he is reluctant to die."
Listening to this summer, looking at Lu Yi's profile, I suddenly wanted to ask him: So, what is in your heart, my lord
This question went round and round between her lips and tongue, but because of her different identities, she didn't dare to make a mistake and didn't ask it out.
I watched A Rui until the evening, and I didn't see any improvement in him. I was a little anxious this summer, because Xie Baili specially prepared a practice banquet for her and Yang Yue tonight. If she didn't go, it would be inappropriate to brush Xie Baili's kindness. This summer, he hesitated again and again, and had to explain the reason to Lu Yi.
"He wants to practice it for you?" Lu Yi leaned back on the bamboo chair and raised his eyebrows slightly, "How come, do you really think of you as a daughter-in-law?"
"How is it possible, he just looks at the boss." This summer, Lu Yi always felt that Lu Yi's tone was weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird.
Lu Yi didn't look at her, and continued on his own: "Maybe he can't rest assured and wants Xie Xiao to accompany you on a trip. This is his real intention. Senior Yang probably can't ask for it."
"how is this possible… "
"It's not impossible..." Lu Yi snorted and glanced at her, "Which of these two marriages do you choose?"
"I'm not going to choose which one, I've made it clear to Xie Xiao." Busy said this summer.
"It's strange that you can explain this kind of thing clearly." He said angrily.
"Really, it's really clear." Seeing that the sky was getting dark, I guessed that I would not be able to make time for the banquet this summer, and I was really anxious, "Sir, can I go? I'll bring you more food later, okay? ? What do you like to eat?"
"It's up to you."
Lu Yi ignored her and waved her to go.
**************************************************** **
This night, the situation in Xie's residence was unexpected this summer.
Originally, Xie Baili just wanted to set up a family banquet, which was a practice for this summer and Yang Yue, but Xie Xiao received a letter at noon, a letter from the teacher's door.
Xie Xiao and Shangguan Xi went out of the same door and were lay disciples of the Southern Shaolin Temple. At present, the Japanese pirates are rampant in Zhejiang, and the people are struggling. Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang Province, went up the mountain to meet the abbot of the Shaolin Temple, and the abbot sent his disciples down the mountain to protect the people, commonly known as the Shaolin monk soldier. At the same time, the abbot sent a letter to the Shaolin lay disciples, asking them to come to Zhejiang to help fight the Japanese pirates.
As soon as the letter arrived, Xie Xiao couldn't sit still when he saw it, and hurriedly called Shangguan Xi and handed the letter to her.
After Shangguanxi watched it, he didn't say anything, just asked, "Does the old man know?"
Xie Xiao frowned in annoyance: "I just want to discuss this with you first, I just came back not long ago, the old man will definitely not agree; you are the hall master, and you can't let go of helping, the old man will not refuse to agree. "
"Anyway, whether you want to go or not, you have to let the old man know." Shangguan Xi said to him, "Like the one who left without a word three years ago, do you think the old man can stand it a second time?"
"...I see." Xie Xiao understood what she meant, "I'm going to find the old man."
Xie Baili read the letter and kept his face sullen. He didn't make any statement. He only ordered the servant to invite Shangguan Xi's father, Shangguan Yuanlong, to the mansion. Shangguan Yuanlong entered the old man's inner room as soon as he arrived, the door was closed tightly, and he didn't know what to discuss.
The two juniors didn't know what medicines were sold in the elder's gourd, so they could only wait in the flower hall outside. Shangguan Xi was down, but Xie Xiao was restless.
"I knew I shouldn't have listened to you, you see, I called your father too." He said annoyed, "the two of them are together, they must be thinking about how to keep us firmly, it is best to tie them to them. Don't go anywhere on the waistband of your trousers, that's the most worry-free way for them."
It happened that Yang Yue helped Yang Chengwan to come to the flower hall as well. Hearing Xie Xiao complaining, Yang Chengwan sighed after asking the reason.
"Uncle Yang, why are you sighing?" Shangguanxi asked.
Yang Chengwan looked at them, then at Yang Yue, and said with a wry smile: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, you are still young, how can you understand, and in the future, when you have children of your own, you will understand."
"We'll talk about the future..." Xie Xiao approached Yang Chengwan, "Uncle Yang, you and my father have been good brothers for many years, but tell me, will my father let me go to Zhejiang?"
"As a parent, who would be willing to let their children go to risk," Yang Chengwan replied, "Besides, it's still so far away."
Xie Xiao said frustratedly: "That's why I won't agree."
Yang Chengwan sighed softly and was about to speak again, but saw Xie Baili and Shangguan Yuanlong come out.
"Daddy!"
"Daddy..."
Xie Xiao and Shangguan Xi hurried forward to meet them.
Xie Baili ignored Xie Xiao, went straight to Yang Chengwan, and said with a smile, "I agreed to practice it for the children tonight, and some of our old brothers will also have a good drink."
"Father, father..." Xie Xiao followed by Xie Baili's side, "You should give me a sentence first, don't keep asking me to guess, okay?"
Xie Baili turned his head and glared at him: "Little bunny! What's the hurry, I still won't let you go!"
"Why are you unreasonable! I these days... "
Xie Xiao was in a hurry, and before he finished speaking, Shangguan Xi grabbed him, shook his head at him, and motioned him not to say any more.
When Shangguan Yuanlong saw it, he called Shangguan Xi to his side and asked, "Xi'er, what do you think?"
Shangguan Xi said truthfully: "The teacher has a life, Xi'er is bound to do it, but no one takes over the affairs of the gang. That's what I'm worried about."
Xie Baili listened to it, and said to Xie Xiao angrily, "Look at others."
"What's wrong with others..." Xie Xiao didn't understand why the old man just didn't like himself, "I'm also worried about the gang, but this matter must be prioritized..."
"You better stop talking, my brain hurts as soon as you speak." Xie Baili interrupted him, seeing that the banquet was ready, and he was the only one who could not see this summer, and asked Yang Chengwan, "This summer, the child, why are you so busy? After all, it's a girl's house."
"Don't wait for her, let's eat first." Yang Chengwan said.
"How can it be done? Today is for them to practice, and then wait."
Just as she was talking, she rushed back this summer and was scolded by Yang Chengwan as soon as she entered the door. She hurriedly told everyone to accompany her.
