Chapter 7 Goodbye Mingrui
Gu Congrong seemed to have seen through her mind, "Praying for the doctor's silver needle to force the poison, Mingrui woke up in the evening. But he doesn't know me, just like that three-year-old child."

He said, clenching his fists.

Duan Yi pursed her lips. She felt that her throat was a little dry. She wanted to say a lot of comforting words, but when she reached her mouth, she couldn't say a word.

Thinking about it, she walked towards the pile of bloody clothes next to her, rummaged through it, found the embroidered shoe she took out from the field, and handed it to Gu Congrong.

"The murderer who killed my uncle wore the same golden ripples on both sides of the boots. Yi grew up in the boudoir, and didn't know the affairs of the world, and couldn't tell where she came from." Duan Yi said, picking up what she knew. Gu Congrong said the key points one by one.

"The killers are strictly disciplined. As my grandfather said, they are definitely not mobs. They should be very afraid of Jiangnan Cui Zigeng. They didn't show up, and they didn't even chase after him. Turning around, Flying Pigeon passed the letter and arranged for a female killer to kill me alone."

Gu Congrong took the embroidered shoes, which were stained with blood and mud.

He touched the mud on the shoe excitedly, revealing golden ripples, then shook his head in disappointment, "I've never seen it either."

Gu Congrong thought for a moment, without words, suddenly seemed to think of something, put the shoes in his arms, and ran out.

Almost in the blink of an eye, he disappeared, leaving only the empty door open.

Suddenly there was no sound of people around, but the chirping of cicadas on the tree and the croaking of frogs in the pond, one after another, disturbed people's mind.

Duan Yi looked towards the end of the bed, fortunately Zhilu left clean clothes for her.With an arm injury, she put on her coat with some difficulty, picked up a lantern at the door, and walked out.

It's still the same yard as when I came here.

The courtyard is quite large, like a shrunken martial arts arena. Against the corner of the wall, there is a whole row of weapons, half of which are silver spears. In a corner of the courtyard, there is a huge old locust tree.

On the top of the locust tree, there was a sparrow of unknown species squatting, its eyes were shining, and when Duan Yi came out, it looked at her with piercing eyes.

Duan Yi could faintly hear sobs, and Duan Yi turned her head to look, and saw a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old sitting on the threshold of the main house. She wore a double ring bun and was dressed conveniently. Gu Mingrui's maidservant.

Seeing Duan Yi looking at her, the maid hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief and lowered her voice.

"Cousin girl, our son has already taken medicine and fell asleep, and the madam is guarding inside."

Duan Yi nodded, "I'll take a look and leave."

The door was open, and Duan Yi walked straight inside.

The maid hesitated for a moment, but did not reach out to stop her.

There was no incense in the room, and the windows were all open. The breeze blowing in at night made it feel a bit cool. Gu Mingrui was lying on the bed, his face was like a blank sheet of paper, his eyes were closed tightly, and he did not move at all. moveable.

Beside the bed, there was a beautiful woman lying on her stomach. The tears in the corners of her eyes were not dry yet, and she had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Duan Yi walked to the bed, looked at the two quietly, and sighed.

I'm afraid the world is going to go bad this week.What a tragedy it is to lose a husband and a child in one day.

Her aunt hadn't woken up yet, but Gu Mingrui who was on the bed opened his eyes. His eyes were shining brightly. When he saw Duan Yi, he cried out happily, "Ayi, Ayi, catch crickets, catch crickets!"

The woman beside the bed was startled by his cry, and woke up suddenly, and cried bitterly when she heard his words.

"Ayi, Ming'er has liked you the most since he was a child. He wanted a younger sister, but when I gave birth to him, I suffered a dystocia and broke my body. He regards you as his own younger sister, and he doesn't know me, nor his grandfather. But I know you."

"I want to know tomorrow. You rode thousands of miles alone to bring him back. Auntie is now, auntie is now..."

As the woman said, she hugged Gu Mingrui, who was fussing about trying to catch crickets, and burst into tears, "Auntie will definitely come to the door to thank you, thank you for saving my life tomorrow!"

Duan Yi watched, her nose sore, she turned her head away and rubbed her eyes.

"The crickets are asleep right now, my brother will go to bed first, and I will wake up tomorrow morning to catch the crickets."

When Gu Mingrui heard this, he lay down on the bed. He stretched out his hand and pulled the quilt, only showing his eyes, "Who is Minger? Will Minger catch crickets?"

The madam wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and patted Gu Mingrui's head, "Ming'er is the most obedient, as soon as A Niang touched your head when you were a child, you fell asleep."

Duan Yi felt sore, and walked out quickly.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into Zhilu who was running back.

She looked at Zhilu's face, and then looked up at the round moon hanging in the sky... She didn't see it clearly in the room before, how could someone's face be so round!
Knowing that when Auntie Lu was pregnant with her, she was facing her stomach and rubbing balls every day.

Seeing her looking at the moon with a strange expression, Zhilu immediately took a sip, "It's fifteen again tomorrow!"

She said, and helped Duan Yi, "Girl, girl, you don't know. I just caught up with Mr. Naqi, and guess what! He planted melons on the mountain next to our cemetery!"

"His mother-in-law died early, and the baby didn't leave him a single one. There's a mountain of melons that can't be eaten from morning to night! I've already made an agreement with him. Tomorrow is when we will guard the ancestral grave. , go to his place to pick melons and eat them!"

Zhilu said happily, "I used to say that I was a student, and I failed the exam after [-] rounds. I'm so ashamed! I want to find a rope and hang myself!"

"Girl, guess what? The beams of his house were eaten by moths. When he hung it, the beams were broken! He fell down, and he was fine, and his legs were limped! Now it's all right, and he doesn't have to take the imperial examination." , Counting back 100 years, I haven't seen a cripple working as an official!

"I suspect that Qi Langzhong's brain was born on his feet, or if he smashed it, he would be sober again! He didn't want to die, he went back to inherit the family business, and became a doctor!"

Duan Yi was a little embarrassed, no, do you still remember that it was the first time you met Mr. Qi?

As Zhilu said, he shook the golden sore medicine bottle in front of Duan Yi, only to realize that she had come out of Gu Mingrui's room.

Immediately suppressed his joy, and lowered his voice, "Girl, don't worry. There are more than forty Jiedu envoys in the world, but not all of them are like our Jiannan Jiedu envoy. The envoy will definitely find the best doctor , cured Mr. Mingrui."

"We are women in the boudoir. Don't talk about looking for people. If you go out of the courtyard, you will be caught blind. Even if you go all out to find them, it is definitely not as good as making a search. No matter how bad it is, you can still get a book. Let the imperial doctor from the capital come over." diagnosis and treatment."

Duan Yi nodded, she had already thought about this point.

She was not familiar with the place of birth, the only two doctors she knew, one was Yan Jing and the other was Qi Langzhong, both of whom had explained to her grandfather.Even if you want to find it, it is not a temporary thing, it can only depend on chance.

Seeing that she frowned, Zhilu nodded, "Oh, girl, let's think about how to deal with Jiang Mama, who will come to pick us up later! She is not easy to deal with, as soon as the girl leaves Jiannan, she immediately flies away. Pass the letter, go to the capital to sue!"
