Food, Color, Medicine and Fragrance: Ugly Girl Turns Over

Chapter 97 Dumb
Huo Qihan was very satisfied with a smile, it seemed that this Pingan was really simple-minded, and he was the most suitable for a stupid woman like Lin Xiaorou.

"Okay, go down, leave this place to me."

"Then you won't tie me up and sell me?" Ping An said in a daze.

Huo Qihan took a deep breath, making sure not to laugh, and replied seriously: "No, because my brother is not a bad person."

After speaking, he came to the bedside with the basin in hand.

Ping An breathed a sigh of relief, and the nervousness on his face gradually receded. He quietly exited the door and reached out to close the door gently.

It was getting dark, and Huo Qihan spent the whole night changing water and towels, so sleepy that he couldn't stand it, he lay down beside the bed and squinted for a while, and woke up immediately when he heard any movement, looking nervously at Lin Xiaorou.

One hand tightly held Lin Xiaorou's hand, not letting go no matter what.

Lin Xiaorou woke up once in the middle of the night. She opened her eyes slightly and took a look. Her dim vision prevented her from seeing the person in front of her clearly, but the warmth from her palm made her sure that there was someone by her side who was always with her.

Is it Yuwen Ye?There is an indescribable touch and warmth in my heart.

Lin Xiaorou's consciousness was drowsy, her eyes blinked a few times and then closed again.

Before dawn, Huo Qihan gradually woke up from sleepiness. He rubbed his red eyes with one hand, and then reached out to touch Lin Xiaorou's forehead.

This stupid woman finally had her fever gone, and even her complexion improved a lot. She closed her eyes and fell asleep very peacefully, with her even breathing warmly brushing against his palm.

Huo Qihan's gaze slowly moved down and landed on the tightly clasped hands, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he carefully withdrew his hands.

Standing up and opening the door, the sky was already a bit pale, Huo Qihan couldn't help but yawned softly, and left in a hurry before Lin Xiaorou woke up.

In any case, he didn't want this stupid woman to know for the time being that he was still so nervous about her. The pain that rainy day brought to him was not so easily forgiven.

Back at the top inn where he lived, he tiptoed back to his room, took off his robe and was about to sleep comfortably, when he suddenly found someone sitting on his bed, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "Who!"

"it's me!"

The figure on the bed stood up and walked towards him.

"Brother!" Huo Qihan was taken aback, this is too bad.

"You haven't returned all night, where have you been?"

"I went to drink. When I got drunk, I slept outside casually all night."

"Han'er, your ability to lie has obviously deteriorated. If you've been drinking, why don't you smell a little bit of alcohol?" Huo Qiyuan looked at him seriously, and his tone was mostly dissatisfied and condemned.

Huo Qihan stopped talking, otherwise he would make many mistakes.

"Where did you go? If you still think of me as the eldest brother, tell me clearly that we are now in Xuelang Town, not Jiangcheng. I need to know what you did."

"Brother, I am no longer a child."

"But you will always be my younger brother, so I have the responsibility to protect you well."

Huo Qihan looked at his brother who had always been forbearing and kind, and saw a deep worry and sleepiness between his brows, and those eyes that were as red as his seemed to have stayed up all night, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty: "I'll go I went to find Lin Xiaorou, she had a severe fever, the doctor said that as long as the snake venom is not detoxified, this situation will happen again and again."

His voice was soft, with a hint of distress.

Huo Qiyuan looked at him, couldn't help sighing, and said quietly: "I knew you couldn't let her go, although I still don't understand why you like this ugly girl, but my position will not change."

"Big brother!"

"I know what you want to say, but now you and I both need to get a good night's sleep. Let's talk when we have something to say." Huo Qiyuan stopped what he hadn't said yet. Seeking detoxification pills.

Huo Qihan watched his elder brother open the door and leave. He couldn't suppress his drowsiness, fell asleep on the bed, and when he woke up in the evening, he opened his eyes and stood up abruptly, looking around blankly. Found it in the inn.

He got up and knocked on Huo Qiyuan's door, but there was no one inside.

He remembered yesterday that he and his eldest brother went looking for those two stonemasons, but unfortunately the one he was looking for was dumb and illiterate, so he asked patiently for a long time but found nothing.

So he was eager to know if there was any useful information from another mason.

He came to the inn in a hurry, except for Uncle Fu, he didn't see the shadow of his eldest brother Huo Qiyuan.

With a thought, he asked Uncle Fu to prepare a carriage and headed for Baiyun Temple.

When we came to the mountain leading to Baiyun Temple, when we passed halfway up the mountain, we saw the carriage that my elder brother used to sit in.

In order to hurry up, Huo Qihan asked the coachman to drive the car to the gate of Baiyun Temple. After getting off the car, he couldn't wait to rush inside to find the mysterious courtyard.

When I came to the gazebo where several people sat around last time, I saw my eldest brother sitting there holding a teacup in his hand, with a solemn expression on his face.

"Brother." He called out, Huo Qiyuan was a little surprised seeing him, got up and said, "Why are you here?"

Huo Qihan hurried over, first made a Buddhist salute to Master Xuanzhi with clasped hands, then turned to look at Huo Qiyuan and asked urgently: "Brother, do you have any news about the stonemason you checked yesterday?"

"No, the mason was gone when I went. I asked the neighbors and said that he moved to a distant place. As for where, no one knows. What about you?"

Huo Qihan's heart sank, and he told the situation of his mason again.

I thought the clue would be broken here, but Huo Qiyuan laughed when he heard it, and said: "It seems that the one you are looking for is the right one."

"how do I say this?"

Huo Qiyuan looked at Master Xuanzhi, and said apologetically, "Master, we two brothers are really impolite and rude today. The younger generation still has family affairs to deal with, so we have to visit again someday."

"Amitabha, it's okay, it's okay!" Master Xuanzhi always had a merciful look, and there was never any expression other than a kind smile on his calm face.

The two brothers left Baiyun Temple, and under Huo Qiyuan's instruction, they went directly to the dumb mason's house.

The home of the dumb stonemason is on the east side of the town, in a very remote alley, and now it's getting dark, so he needs to walk carefully step by step.

"Brother, why do you conclude that there is something wrong with this mason?"

"It's very simple. If I were a murderer, I would choose him, because he is dumb and illiterate. If you don't know who the murderer is, even if you work hard, you will not be able to get any information. Just like you got nothing yesterday, but The other stonemason is a normal person, so it is easy for people to find out information, and I also asked that stonemason to move a few days after Lin Xiaorou came to Xuelang Town, so it can't be him."

The two walked into the alley carefully, and there were almost no lights in the dark houses on both sides, and they didn't know whether they were uninhabited or they went to bed early.

In the quiet night, there are strange things everywhere.

"This is it." The two finally stood in front of a small door.

Knocking on the door, an old woman with gray hair came over and opened the door. Seeing the two of them carefully watching for a while, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

This old woman is not young anymore, her back is bent, she is very old, and her eyes can feel its turbidity even in the night.

"I'm looking for Mason Zhang."

"What?" The old woman obviously lost her hearing, so she asked again with her mouth held back.

"I'm looking for your son Zhang Shijiang."

Huo Qihan yelled loudly, and the old woman heard it clearly, opened the door with trembling hands and said, "My son is inside."

"This mason Zhang is a bachelor, and he has almost no relatives except this old lady who depends on each other. All these years, he has made a living by being a mason." Huo Qihan took the lead to walk in while introducing the situation to his eldest brother.

Mason Zhang's house looks shabby during the day, and even more shabby at night, even the lights in the house are dim.

The old and peeled-off furniture in the house were placed pitifully. On the pit, a middle-aged man was concentrating on chiseling a small stone. Looking at the half-formed shape, it looked like a little Fuwa.

"Please sit down, both of you, I'll pour some water." The old woman welcomed them into the door, then turned to pour water.

The water glass that was brought was a bit dirty, with a black rim around it. The two couldn't bear to drink it, so they laughed.

"Thank you, Ma'am, but Ma'am, we have something we want to ask your son."

"What are you talking about?" The old woman came closer and repeated.

"I said we have something to find your son."

"My son is dumb! Can't speak."

"What about big brother?"

"Han'er, have you seen a mute before?"

Huo Qihan shook his head, how could he have come into contact with this kind of people who were pampered before, and this time he would not have come into contact with this kind of people, even if it wasn't for Lin Xiaorou this time, Huo Qiyuan smiled, stood up suddenly and said: "Ma'am, do you have tea at home? I wonder Drink tea."

The voice was loud, the old woman heard it clearly, and said: "Yes, yes, I will get it!"

"Be careful, ma'am, I'll go with you."

The mason kept his head down, as if he couldn't hear their voices and didn't know they were coming.

Huo Qiyuan supported the old woman and walked towards Zhang Shijiang's back. Halfway through, Huo Qiyuan suddenly called out: "Auntie, are you okay? Get up quickly so you don't break your bones."

While speaking, he stretched out his hand and pinched the old woman, who immediately screamed in pain.

Huo Qihan noticed with sharp eyes that the stonemason's hand holding the stone was obviously stagnant, and there was a flash of anxiety in his expression.

So he stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said sharply: "So you lied to me, you can hear us talking, can't you!"

The mason finally raised his head, his face flustered, he yelled and pointed to his throat.

"Zhang Shijiang, if you play stupid again, I will tie up your mother and sell you to bandits as an old mother!"

Huo Qihan's eyes were burning with two small angry flames. When he came yesterday, this Mason Zhang just pretended not to hear any sound, and did not respond to any of his questions. He was as invulnerable as a hedgehog, which made him frustrated back.
