Doctor's Hand Covering Fragrance

Chapter 25 Mysterious Guest
An Yi was full of resistance, but knowing that she couldn't resist, she had no choice but to agree.When Chen Zhishan heard that he had the opportunity to be alone with An Yi for a few days, he was full of joy, and then he heard Wu Jing's serious warning: "You two, don't act recklessly, otherwise I will definitely not spare you lightly, and it is possible to drive you out. possible."

Who doesn't know that Chen Zhishan is an honest boy?An Yi felt that these words seemed aimed at her, but she couldn't see anything wrong from Wu Jing's face.

In the evening, the carriage drove into Funing County and went straight to Zhou's house.The Zhou family is a big family in the area, and treated them very warmly and courteously, but for some reason, the housing arrangement was a bit cramped. Although there were seven or eight guest rooms, they were only allocated two narrow rooms with shade, one for Wu Jing and Anyi. , and the other one is where Chen Zhishan and Chen Xi lived.Chen Xi was a little dissatisfied with the shabby residence of his young master, while An Yi felt a little uncomfortable sharing the same room with Wu Jing, but seeing that Wu Jing had nothing to say, they didn't want to talk too much.

After a sumptuous dinner, Zhou’s parents-in-law personally came to pick Wu Jing up to see Mrs. Zhou’s doctor. She apologized and explained why the accommodation conditions were so poor: “A distinguished guest came to the house suddenly, and they brought two of them at once. Thirty people, and the county lord personally greeted them, so they dare not answer. I have to wrong Aunt Zhou and the venerable apprentice."

Because Zhou's family was very considerate and warm in their hospitality, Wu Jing didn't take the narrowness of the house to heart, and just said: "It's up to the owner." The two of them exchanged greetings at the front, and An Yi talked with Grandma Zhou at the back. The girl was close, and with a few words, she coaxed the girl named Cuiping into a smile, and promised to find someone for her and bring a letter to Zhou Jingang the next day.

This matter must be, An Yi followed suit in her heart, so when Wu Jing treated the old lady of the Zhou family who suffered from paralysis due to a stroke, she performed very well, causing Zhou's family to think that she was actually Wu Jing's lover just like Chen Zhishan. .She wanted to explain, but seeing that Wu Jing didn't mean to explain, she just pretended to be dizzy. Why bother, the personal treatment enjoyed by a famous doctor's apprentice and a poor little helper is completely different.

That night, An Yi didn't know whether it was because An Yi was too tired and slept too soundly, or the guest who lived next door didn't come back. An Yi didn't feel the bustle of dozens of people staying in that grandma of the Zhou family said at all.

The next day, An Yi dragged Chen Zhishan to the street, bought two packs of sugar and some famous local pastries, goose, sausage, salted duck and other food, and bought Cuiping for a pack of sugar. The girl helped her deliver the letter and things to Zhou Jingang, and in the early morning of the third day, she saw Zhou Jingang who came to see her overnight.

Zhou Jingang came here alone. He was fatter than when he was recuperating in Changli, but his spirit was not as good as before. His beard, which was always clean shaven, was now messed up. It could be seen that he was in a bad mood. .But when he saw An Yi, he still showed a very bright smile: "My niece, why don't you miss me when you go out. Let's go, uncle treats you to something delicious! What about Dr. Wu and the others? Call them together ah!"

An Yi said: "My aunt and Chen Zhishan are doing acupuncture for Mrs. Zhou. Uncle might as well find a teahouse. Let's have a chat first, and then ask them to have lunch together?"

Zhou Jingang took the horse and walked with An Yi and chatted: "Have you practiced slingshot these days? Will you stay in Funing for a while this time? I'll pick you up another day to ride a horse and shoot rabbits!"

"After practicing, I can hit six or seven times out of ten times, but I'm not strong enough." An Yi's eyes were attracted by a group of people walking from the street, all young men in their early twenties, He wears blue silk robes that are [-]% new and of the same style, cowhide riding boots of the same color, long simple knives hanging from his waist, and the horses under his crotch are also good horses.There was another black carriage that looked solid and comfortable. The curtains were lowered to cover it tightly, and it was unknown who was sitting in it.

Zhou Jingang also spotted this group of people, but he only took one look and turned away, silently leading An Yi to the side of the road.Probably because Zhou Jingang was too tall and strong, and he was carrying a knife, when the group of people passed by the two of them, they stared at the two of them for a while, then looked away, and said something softly, Pulled straight into the gate of Zhou's house.

"They are the guests of Zhou's family." An Yi could understand just now that this group of people spoke in an authentic Beijing accent.In other words, the distinguished guest received by the Zhou family is a distinguished guest from Beijing.Judging by the way these people dressed and used horses, they were definitely not ordinary people. They should know the news she was eager to inquire about, and the hard part was how to get close.

Zhou Jingang said: "It seems that they are from the capital, not good at nothing. Don't provoke them if you have nothing to do." He is a man who has been on the battlefield, and has drunk blood from the edge of a knife. He is particularly sensitive to things like murderous intent. He looked very young, but he must have had a life in his hands.There was also the faceless person in the carriage, through the window screen he could feel that person's eyes piercing his body like a substance, which showed that he was really powerful.

"How could I provoke them?" In this case, it's hard to inquire about the news, An Yi reluctantly looked away from those people, pointed to the front and said: "Uncle Zhou, I heard that the family's Guantang The buns are good."

The steaming steamed stuffed buns filled with soup were very delicious, and Zhou Jingang ate very deliciously: "Niece, is your family's life much easier now?" Both the jade pendant and the IOU were returned to An Baoliang through Shi Zhao, and he no longer owed usury, Anyi started earning money again, no matter how I think about it, it should be much better.

An Yi has something on her mind, even the most delicious steamed stuffed buns are tasteless: "My father is not as generous as before, he is too embarrassed to use the money I earned back." The reason why An Baoliang borrowed usury from Wang Hu also gave Mrs. Xue found out that she borrowed it when she was seriously injured before. The reason why she refused to say it was because she was afraid that Mrs. An would dislike Anyi even more if she found out.After knowing this, she inevitably became a little more sincere towards An Baoliang, a cheap father.

The two chatted for a while, An Yi expressed sympathy for Zhou Jingang's experience, and said the words logically: "Uncle Zhou, I have something to ask for your help. It is about fifty or sixty miles away from Funing County. , there is a wild grass in Qinglong Mountain towards Feilongguan, where the famous medicine five-clawed golden dragon is produced. It is the right season, and I want to try my luck. If I am lucky enough to find one or two plants, it will be enough for our family to pay off. Pay off all the debts and buy some properties. But I am not familiar with the place, I am afraid that I will be taken away by traffickers before I reach the land."

Five-clawed golden dragon, the flower is as big as a palm, with five stems, which open like dragon claws, the fruit is as red as red vermilion, hard as a stone, with a bitter smell, it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, especially for treating trauma and stopping bleeding, it is almost like a panacea exist.But this medicine is too rare, and Zhou Jingang has only heard of it: "Go if you want. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so please take a few days off to accompany you."
