my panda city master

Chapter 19

The Li family in Gyeongju is not considered a big family, but Bai Yan has already found out the route, and with her leading the way, there is no need for Mo Bai and Xixi to ask for directions.Therefore, whether it is a large household or a small household, there is no obstacle.

The carriage drove into the alley of Li's house, and there were already people coming to greet him, and the leader was Li Sanye, Miao Yunfang's husband.

And next to him was a woman who was nearly fifty according to her age, but perhaps she lived a comfortable life and the relationship between husband and wife was harmonious, so she looked much younger than women of the same age.

But when Xixi got out of the car, she saw some uneasiness clearly flashing in her eyes.

Li Sanye is tall and well-proportioned, standing with the slightly younger Miao Yunfang, they are really a couple.Even if he came forward to meet them, he looked aside and moved forward with her instead of just entertaining the distinguished guests and leaving his wife behind.

When Xixi saw this, he knew that the relationship between the two was indeed very good.

Li Sanye clasped his fists and said: "The Lord of Mo City is here, and I am sorry to welcome you from afar."

Mo Bai, who has always been shy of politeness, exchanged polite greetings with him rarely, and Xixi felt that the pain in his heart was a little less—he wanted to get the antidote smoothly.A person with such a cold temper is trying to change in order to save her.

Li Sanye and Miao Yunfang welcomed the two into the lobby and offered refreshments. Perhaps they knew Mo Bai's temper, so they stopped exchanging greetings, and said, "I heard that City Master Mo wants to ask my wife something. I don't know what it is. If we If you can do it, you have to do your best.”

Mo Bai said: "My fiancée has a strange poison in her body, and only the divine doctor from back then can cure it."

Li Sanye has been in business for many years and has traveled all over the world. He can be regarded as half a man from the rivers and lakes. He immediately said, "But it is said that the master doctor passed away a few years ago. City Lord Mo should know more about this kind of thing than me."

"Hmm. It's just that his nephew mentioned that the divine doctor made a unique antidote back then, which can cure all kinds of poisons and bring back the dead."

"I've heard of this before, but it's a pill called Resurrection Pill? But after the death of the divine doctor, the hut where he lived was razed to the ground by people looking for medicine, and everything that could be looted was taken away. , but I haven’t heard of anyone finding the Resurrection Pill.”

"That's why we came to find Mrs. Zun today."

When Li Sanye saw his wife was mentioned, he subconsciously glanced at her, and said, "What does this have to do with my wife? My wife doesn't know martial arts or medicine, and she is not from the world. She is usually timid, let alone Over the far gate, why did City Lord Mo suddenly come here?"

His words were all about protecting her, and even Xixi could hear some nervousness in those words. It seemed that Mr. Li really loved his wife very much.She looked at Miao Yunfang's paler face, the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled, why was she so uneasy?

Xixi thought for a moment, then suddenly understood. Seeing that Mo Bai was about to speak, he interjected, "We heard from his nephew that there used to be a maidservant by the side of the divine doctor, named Miao, who was trusted by the divine doctor. She left ten years ago." At that time, I was given a bottle of Resurrection Pill. Because the surname 'Miao' was rare, I inquired about it, and it seemed that I was born in the same place as Mrs. Li, so I wanted to ask Mrs. Li, but I recognized the girl."

Mo Bai had doubts in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound.There must be a reason for her to change her tune before the battle.

A hint of confusion flashed in Miao Yunfang's eyes, but soon it seemed that the mist had been cleared, and she became slightly clearer, and replied: "Our Miao family is sparsely populated and has many males. I haven't heard of any girls in the clan doing it. If there is such a thing as the handmaid of a genius doctor, I will definitely know about it."

Xixi sighed and smiled again: "It seems that we have found the wrong person."

Mr. Li also felt it was a pity, after all, this girl was in her prime, and she looked good-natured, but her life was not long, so it was a pity: "How about this, although I don't know many people, but I will help to inquire about it for a while. Do your best."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Xixi covered her heart lightly, coughed once, and then coughed heavily again.

Mo Bai hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"It's a bit uncomfortable."

Li Sanye stood up immediately: "Housekeeper, arrange the room quickly, Mrs. Mo, the owner of Mo City, please move to the wing room to rest."

Mo Bai said "Thank you", then he took Xixi and followed the servants to the wing.

Xixi coughed "cough cough cough" all the way, entered the wing room, and the servants retreated, Mo Bai touched her head: "If you cough again, you will hurt yourself."

The coughing stopped immediately, and she looked up at him: "How do you know I'm faking it?"

Mo Bai's face was light: "You are poisoned, and I took good care of you this way, where did the cough come from?"

"But you were obviously nervous when I covered my heart and coughed for the first time."

Mo Bai raised his eyebrows: "No."

"There is."

"No."

Xixi pursed her lips and smiled, if it wasn't for the fear of staining his face with poison, she really wanted to kiss him.She touched Master Rabbit in his arms who had calmed down at this time, and said, "In front of Third Master Li, don't mention the matter of the divine doctor and Miao Yunfang."

Mo Bai said: "I wanted to ask this just now." Seeing her eyes cast outside, he said, "There is no one outside."

Only then did Xixi whisper: "Miao Yunfang doesn't want us to mention this matter."

"how do you know?"

"She was scared just now."

"Fear?"

"Well. Didn't Doctor Song say that Miao Yunfang once had a relationship with the master doctor, but it's over after all. Now she has a deep relationship with Li Sanye and his wife. If the past is revealed, it will be another love history. You said, will it affect the relationship between husband and wife?"

Mo Bai frowned, even more puzzled: "Mr. Li and Miao Yunfang have been husband and wife for 30 years, and their children have already married and started a career. Why do you still care about this?"

Xixi asked: "If I tell you now that I used to have a childhood sweetheart who was very nice to me and was handsome and unrestrained, would you feel uncomfortable? Wouldn't there be any grudges?"

Mo Bai gave her a deep look: "You didn't."

Xixi said: "I mean what if!"

"Oh." Mo Bai wanted to say that there would be no, but it seemed that there would be again, how could there be no such thing.But now Xixi belongs to him, and he is the only one he likes, so why should he bother with the past.But thinking of the existence of such a person, it felt like a thorn in my heart.

Xixi saw that he was in a state of entanglement, and spit out blood silently in her heart, she shouldn't have used herself as an example, but Mo Bai is the kind of thing he doesn't want to know, even if you lie in his ear and call him, he won't listen , but if it's something he's serious about, he won't give up if he doesn't want to come up with an answer.

Seeing that he was still thinking about it, Xixi tugged at his sleeve: "Mobai."

Mo Bai didn't come back to his senses.

"panda!"

Mo Bai came back to his senses at this moment, Xixi's exclusive way of shouting, a sentence came to his heart: "Huh?"

"Let's forget about that question just now."

"Well, but I have the answer." Mo Bai said, "There will be grudges, but I won't blame you, who told me not to know you before him."

Speaking of this, Xixi still felt a sense of sourness, she smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Yeah."

"If I were Mrs. Li, even if I knew that Miao Yunfang had a love history with the divine doctor, I wouldn't change my relationship. Firstly, the matter is over; secondly, the divine doctor died; thirdly, because I like her, I am willing to believe her .”

Xixi was very satisfied with the answer, and said again: "But Miao Yunfang doesn't think so. Judging from her worried expression, she is probably afraid that after Mr. Li finds out about this, the relationship between husband and wife will deteriorate, and it will not be the same as before. .”

"So you changed your tune temporarily."

"Yes, that's why I stayed here pretending to be sick." Xixi cast her eyes out of the window, and said softly, "I hope Miao Yunfang realizes my intentions and comes to see us alone."

Mo Bai asked: "What if she doesn't come?"

"Hmph." Xixi took out a small dagger, her eyes revealed a fierce look, "I caught her and tortured her for interrogation."

Even if she had a fierce look in her eyes, she was just a little white rabbit in Mo Bai's eyes. He patted his sweetheart into the scene: "Wash up and go to bed early."

Xixi retracted the small dagger: "Oh."

Afternoon, dusk, and night came successively, but Miao Yunfang did not appear.

Xixi was not in a hurry, but the cook of Li's family obviously didn't cook well, and she didn't have enough for dinner.So much so that when it was almost late at night, when she heard that Miao Yunfang had brought supper, her first reaction was not that she finally came, but that food came.

Xixi's eyes were too eager for eating, and she was too focused on eating, leaving Miao Yunfang aside, and Mobai pursed her lips as she watched, his fiancée who made people worry...

Seeing that she was eating well, Miao Yunfang's eyes gradually calmed down, and she lost the uneasiness she felt when she came here.After she finished eating, she tilted her head and said, "Pick up the leftovers and take them down."

She took a maid with her, and when the maid left, there were only three people and one rabbit left in the house.

After drinking tea, Xixi asked, "What is Mrs. Li looking for?"

Miao Yunfang's face was calm: "The girl knows."

Xixi smiled, but did not answer.

Miao Yunfang said: "Thank you for not embarrassing me in the lobby today."

"You're welcome. It's just that even if you say it, I think, with the love that Mr. Li has for his wife, he won't care about what happened back then."

Miao Yunfang has also thought about this question, and she also thinks that it should not be possible, but she is not sure, and now she is shaking her head, unwilling to mention it again: "The person Mo City Lord and the girl are looking for is indeed me. I did know him, but because he protected me very well, I didn’t live there for a long time, and not many people knew about it. I didn’t mention it after I left, so my husband didn’t know about it either.”

Xixi took a light breath: "Then... Madam Li, is there a soul-reviving pill?"

Miao Yunfang's eyes were filled with pity and impatience: "No."

Mo Bai couldn't help being stunned, his heart sank suddenly.

Even if he heard it with his own ears, Mo Bai still didn't want to believe it. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became gloomy. He still asked: "The nephew of the divine doctor and holy hand once said that you were his beloved one back then, and he would give you everything."

Miao Yunfang smiled wryly: "He did give me a bottle of Resurrection Pill, but when I was leaving home, I accidentally fell into the water and the medicine was gone. Speaking of which, it was also because of that fall into the water that I became what I am today. marriage. The person who rescued me from the water is my current husband.”

Xixi's hands under the table were already clenched into fists, but her face still looked relaxed.She didn't want Mo Bai to see her sad and feel even sadder.

Miao Yunfang was afraid that the two of them would not believe her, so she said again: "The lord of Mocheng and the girl also know that our husband and wife are deeply in love. If I can secretly help my husband sell a favor in Mocheng, wouldn't it be a good thing? I will be the lifesaver of Mrs. Mo in the future. In the future, the owner of the Li family will probably agree to what the Li family asks, right? I really have no reason to lie. What's more, if I don't want to give it, I just say no from the beginning, and there is no need to explain so much."

Xixi believed her words, even if she wanted to fabricate a lie, she didn't need to bring Mr. Li in, just tell a lie.The more people in the lie and the more detailed it is, the more flaws there will be.And because of falling into the water and forming a marriage, not only Li Sanye and Miao Yunfang should know about this matter.

Mo Bai thought over and over again, and believed her words.After a long silence, he said: "Then do you know where the divine doctor left the soul-reviving pill?"

Miao Yunfang still shook her head: "I don't know. He was obsessed with refining medicine back then. Although he was very kind to me, even if we lived together, I rarely saw him. I waited anxiously and helplessly every day. I don't want to I wasted my good time there. In order to make him give up, I told him that I didn't want to live a hard life with him, and then left. He hates me, I am ashamed of him, and I have never seen him again. His news, over the years I I also deliberately avoided it."

Mo Bai fell into silence again, the turning point was lost, and the vitality was gone.

He could exchange his life for a small pill, but he didn't even have the chance to exchange it.

Miao Yunfang also felt sorry, especially when she looked at the girl in front of her who was still trying to keep calm and looked at her lover with firm and fearless eyes, she felt even more sorry.If she hadn't been so careless and dropped a whole bottle of medicine into the water back then, if she hadn't kept the medicine instead of throwing it away because of guilt, maybe she could have saved her life today and made this couple of fateful couples happy.

She sighed secretly, and remembered something that she didn't know if it would be useful: "I still remember the appearance of the Resurrection Pill."

What's the use of knowing what it looks like without medicine?Xixi still asked politely: "Madam Li, please tell me."

"The elixir is refined like ordinary elixirs, but it looks emerald green like pearls, not like pills, but more like emerald beads, which are as cold as jade and melt in the mouth."

"Thank you."

Miao Yunfang didn't talk any more, she knew that it would be very tiring for them to say one more sentence now.She got up and said goodbye, leaving the two of them in the house.

Xixi caressed Lord Rabbit gently, following its soft fur.Master Rabbit didn't eat carrots, the atmosphere was too quiet, he wasn't stupid.

Caressing and caressing, Xixi was embraced into a generous and warm embrace, without speaking for a long time.

In the dead of night, the house is even quieter, so quiet that you can even hear the wind blowing grass blades outside.

"Let's go back to Mexico City and get married."

Xixi is a girl, and it is her dream to be proposed by the person she likes.But now it sounds a little sad.She looked at him with a smile: "Then you will be a widower soon."

Mo Bai lowered his head and stared at her, the anger in his eyes being aroused by the word "widower" gradually subsided: "Then will you marry or not?"

Xixi's eyes shook. If she was still healthy and able to dance, she would definitely marry without hesitation, but now...

"Will you marry?" He asked again, as if if she didn't give an answer, he would keep asking.

Xixi smiled and asked, "What if I say I won't marry?"

"Tie you up."

Xixi suddenly laughed, tears rolled down her face as she smiled, leaning against Mo Bai's arms, her voice choked up: "Then marry."

She also wants... She also wants to leave a memorial tablet in the Mo family.After a hundred years, Mobai will be able to stand side by side with him. If he is not careful, what if we meet again in the next life?
At that time, I hope he is still that cold city lord, no girl can get close to him.When she reunited with him with this stove, she warmed the cold him and turned him into a warm panda, just her panda, just her city lord.

Back in Mocheng, it was already early winter, the weather was not too cold, and there was no snowfall.

Bai Yan and Doctor Song have already rushed back to the city, and began to direct the Mo family to arrange a happy event.When Mobai and Xixi's carriage entered the city, both sides of the main road were covered with red silk and red lanterns, and the whole street seemed to be in full bloom, dispelling some of the severe cold.

Xixi was sitting in the car with her cloak in her arms, holding the small heater and looking out, her eyes were full of red eyes, and she also smiled.

The person driving the carriage was the guard of the Mo family, and Mo Bai accompanied her in the carriage.There was a smile in her eyes, but her pale face made the smile look very bleak, and he felt sorry for seeing it: "Isn't it cold? Close the window."

"It's not cold." Xixi said with emotion, "The last time I came here, I was bundled into rice dumplings and thrown on the carriage with Mr. Rabbit."

Speaking of the past, Master Rabbit in the rabbit cage also raised his head and glanced at Mo Bai, before lying down lazily again.It still prefers the ice cube from before, and Yun Xixi who was tied here before, rather than the two of them now, even carrots are not delicious!

Seeing her angrily, Mo Bai patted her head and said, "I'll let the cook cook something delicious for you later, I apologize."

Xixi immediately said happily: "Okay."

When the carriage arrived at Mo's house, Xixi looked out the window, the solemn and solemn gate no longer looked cold and unkind.On the contrary, not only the door, but also the people waiting for them there seemed kind.

Mo Bai got out of the car first and followed her.

The people standing in front of the high gate all looked at them, their eyes were respectful and kind, and there was a hint of seriousness on their faces.

Xi Xi secretly sighed, it seems that the news of her poisoning has spread throughout Mo City, whoever let her come in, everyone in the city sees her with the eyes of their own mother, it's hard not to feel it.

Seeing so many people gathered here, Mo Bai told them to disperse, and went in with Xixi himself.

Xixi stepped into the gate, and found that the red lanterns were already hanging high in the mansion, the pillars of the door had been scrubbed, and the walls had been painted.Flowers and plants were also planted in the empty, simple and dull courtyard, and koi fish were swimming in the pond.The scenery is uneven and full of vigor, but it is quite familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere.

She looked left and right, and said, "Why do I feel like I've seen the set here before."

"Peacock City."

Mentioning these three words, Xixi suddenly realized that the layout of the courtyard is not like the home of the Kong City Lord.She asked curiously, "Why do you want to learn from that peacock's house?"

Mo Bai said, "You said you liked it."

"When will I..." Xixi suddenly remembered that she and Mo Bai went to Kong's house at that time, and when they passed by the courtyard, she once mentioned that the decoration of Kong's house was very good, and asked him to learn more.

At that time, he coldly refused.

Unexpectedly, he always remembered what she said.

Xixi smiled, as bright as the sun shining into the yard: "I like it."

Mobai's tense face relaxed slightly, a satisfaction that others could not detect: "Just like it."

After bumping all the way, Xixi entered the room and handed Lord Rabbit to Mo Bai, and then went to rest.When she woke up, the afterglow of the setting sun was already seen outside the window.She put on her clothes and walked to the window to look out. The sky was filled with sunset glow, and as the sunset quickly sank, the sky gradually dimmed.In a blink of an eye, it was dark outside, and it seemed to be getting cold inside.

She came back to her senses only after her body turned cold, and hurried to warm up by the extinguished stove, and lit the candles.

As soon as the lights came on, someone outside asked, "Does the lady want dinner?"

Xixi wrapped up her clothes and went to open the door, looked at the two servants outside, and asked, "Where's Mo Bai?"

"The city lord is still in the study."

Xixi thought for a while: "Do you want to deal with the Mocheng matter?"

"Yes."

Xixi thinks that he has been away from Mo City for too long this time, and the things to do are probably piled up like a mountain.Should she go over and grab him for dinner, or should she not disturb him and let him concentrate on his work?
After thinking for a while, she turned back again.After half an hour, when he asked, he was still there, so he asked his servants to lead the way to the study.

The study room is in the same yard, but the Mo family's yard is as big as a rich family's house, and it took two long corridors to detour before the servants finally stopped.Xixi was so tired from walking that her face turned pale—I knew she should come riding a little donkey.No, I will raise a donkey in the future so that I can move around at any time.

The room was brightly lit, and the people inside were projected on the window paper. The lights flickered, and the figures also flickered.The appearance is very strange, and I am very happy to see it.She has reached the point where she will feel happy whenever she sees Mo Bai's shadow. She doesn't even know how much she likes him.

She waved her hand to let the maid back down, reached out and knocked on the door.

Mo Bai's voice was low: "Who?"

Xixi cleared her throat, and said loudly: "Little mortals don't open the door quickly, I am the Kitchen God. Because you don't eat three meals, I came here to arrest you for dinner."

The door was opened in a moment, Mo Bai stretched out his hand, grabbed her in, pushed her to sit on the bench, leaned over to look at her, with a half-smile: "Let me see what the Kitchen God looks like."

Xixi smiled until the moon was in his eyes, tilted his head and asked, "Did you see clearly? Does the Kitchen God look good?"

"nice."

"like or not?"

Mobai's lips moved slightly, Xixi thought that he would not be able to talk about ice cubes, but unexpectedly he said seriously: "I like it."

A red cloud appeared on Xixi's paper-white face, she wrapped her arms around his neck, and rubbed her face against his: "I like you too."

"Then why don't you give me a kiss?"

"I'm afraid you'll be poisoned too." Before Xixi let go of her hand, she rubbed it greedily again.

Mo Bai, who had sensed the coolness just now, covered her face, such a cold Xixi was not like the Xixi he knew.She warmed up a bit, so he went to light the rare stove in the study, put it beside her, and took a blanket to cover her: "I asked the servant to bring the food, and you must have eaten it." .”

She said happily, "I knew you wanted to eat with me, so I asked them to do it when I came. I'm a smart girl." She added, "I also know you're busy, Just keep busy with your work, I'll just watch you by the side, if you talk with me, I won't come. "

Mo Bai hesitated for a while, then answered "En", and then returned to the table.Sometimes he looked at the documents and sometimes at her.

After dinner, Xixi urged him to go to work again. She was still sitting on the bench, sometimes looking at the burning fire, and sometimes looking at him who was busy and absorbed.

It was obvious that she had slept all day, but after sitting on the chair for a while, Xixi closed her eyes unknowingly.

As soon as the even and slight breathing sound started, Mo Bai looked at her.The sleeping face was not at ease, as if he had not slept soundly and had not entered a good dream.He walked over gently, trying to carry her back to the room to sleep.But as soon as his hands wrapped around her waist, she frowned slightly, as if she was about to wake up at any time.Mo Bai stood still, afraid of waking her up.But before he pulled his hand out, his face was almost pressed against hers.

The eyelashes of the person in front of him moved slightly, sweeping over the tip of his nose.A slight itchy touch, he moved down slowly, and his lips and teeth lightly pressed on the bloodless lips.

——Full of melancholy, bitter as a lotus heart.
