Exile opening: I won with the Universal Maker

Chapter 39 The Mysterious Master

Shen Yuexi looked nervously at the man in purple who was standing outside the car door with downcast eyes.

A gust of wind blew up his clothes.

Undoubtedly, this is a handsome man, even compared to Xiao Zhuo.But under his handsome appearance, there seemed to be something inexplicable, which made her vaguely smell a hint of danger.

Is it because he killed the four bandits in an instant, or was it because of the seemingly unreal smile on the corner of his mouth, the silent silence... In short, these turned into a breathless depression, which weighed heavily on him. in her heart.

Maybe I was so scared by the bandits that I was a little nervous, and even the person who rescued her was scared.

Shen Yuexi shook her head, wanting to thank the man in purple.

But the figure outside the car door disappeared at some point.Shen Yuexi was taken aback, thinking he was outside the carriage, jumped out of the bullock cart and looked around.

The man in purple was gone.

She rubbed her eyes and looked at the corpses of the four bandits on the ground.All this is real.

A groan came from behind her.

Shen Yuexi couldn't care less about looking for the man in purple, and hurriedly turned her head to look in front of the bullock cart.Doctor Hua was holding his forehead and sitting up slowly.

"Doctor Hua!" Shen Yuexi ran over, reaching out to help Doctor Hua stand up, "Are you okay?"

Dr. Hua covered his swollen forehead with his hands and said, "It's okay, I just punched the old man, it's fine."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on the corpses of bandits behind the carriage, he was taken aback, and stammered, "Did you kill them?"

Shen Yuexi shook her head and said, "It's not me."

She helped Dr. Hua into the bullock cart, took out the ointment for treating bruises from the medicine box, and applied it to the swollen area of ​​Dr. Hua's forehead.Tell Dr. Hua what happened.

Doctor Hua said: "Since this person saved us, why did he leave again?"

He was still thinking there, Shen Yuexi had found his money bag on the bandit's body, handed it to him and said, "Doctor Hua, let's get out of here quickly, if bandits come to find their accomplices, it will be troublesome."

Dr. Hua nodded quickly when he heard the words: "It's very reasonable. You stay in the car, and the old man will drive. When we get to the county seat, we have to report to the officials."

The two were afraid that bandits would come again, so they didn't dare to stay for long.Hastily arrived at the county seat.

It wasn't until entering the gate of the county seat that Shen Yuexi's hanging heart finally let go.Doctor Hua drove to the gate of the county government office and reported to the county magistrate how he was attacked by bandits on the road.

Doctor Hua was well-known in Tongliao County, and the county magistrate dared not neglect, so he arranged for the officials to go to the place where the incident happened to search for bandits and deal with the funeral.

After the two left the county government office, Shen Yuexi accompanied Dr. Hua back to Yishengtang to have his forehead treated.Only then did the two go to the meeting place agreed with Dr. Lin.

When we arrived at the inn, we mentioned Dr. Lin.The clerk then led the two of them upstairs, to a room door, and then went downstairs.

Doctor Hua knocked on the door and shouted: "Doctor Lin, the old man has called Mrs. Pei here."

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in a blue gown came out.His face is like an ancient jade, with three black beards under his jaw, he looks like a doctor.But compared with Doctor Hua, this person is a bit more noble, more like a doctor who specializes in treating noble families.

"Please, both." The middle-aged man smiled and welcomed the two into the house.

After the host and guest were seated, the middle-aged man clasped his fists to Shen Yuexi and said, "This must be Mrs. Pei, and my surname is Lin Mingkui."

Shen Yuexi bowed back and said, "Doctor Lin, do you want to buy my prescription?"

"Of course, because I have to wait for my master in the county seat, I dare not leave without permission," Lin Kui smiled and looked at Doctor Hua, "otherwise, I should have gone to Daliang Village to invite him in person."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on Doctor Hua's forehead, his expression changed slightly, and he asked:

"Doctor Hua, this is..."

Dr. Hua shook his head, sighed and said, "On the way here, I encountered bandits. Fortunately, the nobleman rescued me."

Lin Kui nodded, and sighed: "It's a troubled time, and bandits are constantly in trouble. It's been a hard journey for both of you."

Without waiting for Shen Yuexi to answer, he turned his head and said to Shen Yuexi: "To surprise Dr. Hua and Mrs. Pei, this is because I didn't think carefully. I can prepare a little wine to calm the two of you."

With that said, Lin Kui stood up and wanted to call his buddy.

Shen Yuexi quickly stopped her and said, "Doctor Lin, you're welcome. I'm here to sell prescriptions. As long as you give me two silver coins, I'm going back."

First, she and Xiao Zhuo wanted to leave Daliang Village as soon as possible, and didn't want to delay here too much.Secondly, she was afraid of further delay, and it would get dark.What to do if you encounter bandits on the road.

Lin Kui didn't insist, picked up the teapot on the table, poured tea for the two of them, and said, "Since that's the case, please come down with Mrs. Pei. I will take Mrs. Pei to meet someone."

Shen Yuexi said: "Why do you still want to meet people?"

She thought that Dr. Lin would give her silver taels directly, and she was ready to hand over the prescription to him.Didn't expect it to come out like this.

Lin Kui smiled and said, "Miss Pei doesn't know something. Although I decided to buy your prescription, I don't have the money."

While the two were talking, Dr. Hua sat there shaking, covering his head with his hands and seemed a little uncomfortable.Lin Kui said to Doctor Hua: "Doctor Hua's forehead is injured, you can go back to the mansion to recuperate. I will take Mrs. Pei with me to see someone."

After Doctor Hua left, Lin Kui took Shen Yuexi out of the inn and walked across two streets.Came to a quiet small courtyard.

Seeing the two men coming, the servant at the door opened the door without saying a word.After the two entered, Shen Yuexi saw that although the courtyard was small, it was exquisite.Can't help but lift the fence and take a second look.

Compared with the rockery piled up artificially in the previous life, this place is really antique.

Arriving outside a study room, Lin Kui asked Shen Yuexi to wait, and said to the servants outside: "Is the master here?"

The servant said: "Not long after arriving, the road was delayed due to some trivial matters."

"Just say that Lin Kui is asking to see you."

"Wait a moment, let the villain report back." The servant turned and entered the house after speaking.

Nothing happened anyway, Shen Yuexi looked around.

Whether it's the passing servants or maids, they are all reserved and polite, not like the residence of vulgar people at all.Although the scale of this small courtyard is not large, traces of the noble family are revealed everywhere.

In the original owner's memory, the Duke's Mansion was just like this.That is to say, the owner here is at least a high-ranking official.

For high officials, 500 taels is not trivial.

She was pondering in her heart when the bead curtain rang, and the servant came out and said to Lin Kui, "Sir, the master let you in."

Lin Kui said to Shen Yuexi: "Miss Pei, please come down with me."

Shen Yuexi followed Lin Kui into the house, and saw that the room was neat and orderly, with banners of landscape paintings hanging on the walls.A furnace of refreshing incense is burning on the central table.The whole room is filled with a faint fragrance, which makes me feel comfortable.

Lin Kui whispered: "Miss Pei, please wait here, let me go and discuss with the master first."

Shen Yuexi was born in the Duke's Mansion since she was a child, knowing that there are many rules and regulations in a wealthy family, she has already adapted to it.So she found a chair and sat down to wait. Not long after, Lin Kui came out from the back room and lifted the bead curtain for her:
"Miss Pei, the master let you in."

It sounded like the master didn't treat her differently.But I just came to sell prescriptions for money, and I wasn't a guest.It doesn't matter.

Shen Yuexi entered the house.

A man was standing in front of the window, with one hand behind his back, and the other was teasing a budgerigar on the shelf.Hearing her footsteps, the man turned his head.

Seeing the man's appearance, Shen Yuexi was startled, and couldn't help blurting out:

"It's you."
