Ye Xiu walked towards his father, took out the medicine box of the Fire Spirit Grass from his waist, took out the Fire Spirit Grass and handed it to his father.

"Dad, I've picked back the Fire Spirit Grass. ”

Ye Wu took the Fire Spirit Grass tremblingly, and his heart was now half excited, half happy. I was still worried about my son just now, but now my son's words have wiped out all those worries.

There is only joy and excitement in my heart.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. ”

Ye Wu patted Ye Xiu on the shoulder and said excitedly.

At this time, Uncle Li also came over, and when he saw the fire spirit grass in the medicine box, he recognized it at a glance, this was a fire spirit grass in good condition, even if it was put in the pharmacy, it could be sold for at least 200 gold coins.

The leaves of the fire spirit grass are still fiery red, as if burning with flames, and even the rhizomes are also fiery red, but some resemble rubies and are crystal clear.

Uncle Li said with some excitement.

"This Fire Spirit Grass is better than I imagined, as long as I give it to Xiaoqing, I believe that Xiaoqing's cold poison will be able to suppress it soon. ”

Uncle Li took the Fire Spirit Grass from Ye Wu's hand.

Commanded Ye Xiu.

"Xiao Xiu, find a bowl, now Xiaoqing's body is relatively weak, and she can't take the Fire Spirit Grass directly, she needs to squeeze out the essence of the Fire Spirit Grass juice, add a little water, and feed her to drink it step by step. ”

Ye Xiu heard Uncle Li's order, and hurriedly walked towards the kitchen, bringing over a large bowl of blue and white porcelain, with a small half bowl of water in it.

Uncle Li took the bowl and put it on the table.

Then he took the fire spirit grass out of the medicine box, and gently pinched the root of the fire spirit grass, and the root of the fire spirit grass broke, and the crystal clear juice came out of the crack like a gem.

When the juice enters the bowl, the water in the bowl quickly stains the bowl red, as if it could dye the bowl red.

Uncle Li walked in with the bowl, followed by Ye Xiu and his father.

After the juice of the fire spirit grass was given to the little sister Ye Qing, the frost white on the little sister's body quickly faded, her face showed a normal red, and her breathing became normal.

After seeing that Ye Qing was almost recovered, Uncle Li pulled out the golden needle on Ye Qing's body.

After a while, the three of them walked out, and Uncle Li took the remaining Fire Spirit Grass in his hand and said to Ye Xiu:

"There is not much fire spirit grass essence left, take the medicine pot and boil it, put three bowls of water, boil it on low heat for two hours, and then give it to Xiaoqing to drink after cooking, and the cold poison will not be sent again this year. ”

Ye Xiu took the Fire Spirit Grass and said gratefully:

"Uncle Li, my little sister's affairs have been hard these days, thank you Uncle Li, if it weren't for you taking care of me these days, I wouldn't know what to do. ”

Uncle Li waved his hand.

"It's okay, your dad and I are old acquaintances, you and Xiaoqing grew up under my watch, you have something to do, how can I not help?"

"You go back and take care of Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing is fine here, I'll go back to the pharmacy first, I'm not here these days, I've piled up a bunch of things there, I'll go back and get busy first." ”

Ye Xiu sent it to the alley before going back.

The entrance to the mayor's mansion in a dark town.

Xie Yun stood at the door, and when she was about to arrive at the dark town, she separated from Ye Xiu, and the two of them entered the dark town separately.

Ye Xiu went home after entering the dark town, while Xie Yun came to the mayor's mansion, the mayor of the dark town used to be an officer under her father, and she had met a few times before.

Xie Yun waited outside for less than half a cup of tea, and saw the town mayor Xie Xun running out in a hurry.

"Xie Xun in the dark town, I have seen the eldest lady. ”

Xie Xun's attitude is very respectful, the Xie family is the lord of the Dark City, and the small towns within a radius of hundreds of miles from the Dark City are all under the command of the Dark City, that is, under the command of the Xie family.

He used to be an officer under Xie Changsheng, he was Xie Changsheng's confidant, and he could be regarded as a retainer of the Xie family.

In the Great Jin Kingdom, the imperial court is not particularly strong for local domination, except for the territories directly under the kingdom, the rest of the places are controlled by the kingdom scholars.

The high-ranking nobles controlled the power of the provinces, the middle-level nobles controlled the state capital, and the low-level nobles controlled the city.

As for the town below, it is controlled by the cronies of the low-level noble clan.

The Xie family is a low-level scholar clan, and they control everything in the Dark City, and they only need to pay enough taxes to the state government on time every year, and the state government will not manage other things.

It can be said that the Xie family is the soil emperor of the Dark City, and Xie Yun is the princess of this place.

After welcoming Xie Yun in, a maid brought over two cups of tea and handed them to Xie Yun and Xie Xun.

Xie Xun picked up the teacup and said to Xie Yun:

"Miss, the dark town is a small place, there is only coarse tea, not as good as the city, I hope the eldest lady doesn't mind. ”

Xie Yun took a sip.

"Uncle Xie, it's already good. ”

After seeing Xie Yun take a few sips of tea, Xie Xun then asked tentatively:

"Is there something important about the eldest lady coming to the dark town this time?"

Xie Yun nodded, but didn't say what it was, but said to Xie Xun;

"Uncle Xie, I want to use the carrier pigeons in your house to send a message to the family, and I will come out for a few days to report to the house. ”

Xie Xun stood up and said.

"It's all small things, I'll prepare it for the eldest lady right away. ”

After a pillar of incense, a carrier pigeon flew out of the mayor's mansion, and the next evening, before the sun went down, an elite cavalry of fifty men passed through the dark town, led by a white-haired old man.

The cavalry passed through the town and entered the mayor's mansion.

Inside the mayor's mansion.

After Xie Xun, the mayor of the dark town, greeted the old man, he withdrew, he knew that the other party had something to explain, and it was inconvenient to say what he was saying, so he withdrew.

The old man looked to be in his seventies, wearing brown clothes, and his back was a little hunchbacked, but he was still very energetic, and his eyes were shining with kindness.

The old man's name is Yun Bo, and he is the chief housekeeper in the City Lord's Mansion.

"Miss, you ran out of the Dark City without permission, the lord is very worried about you, let's go back quickly, the lord is sick day by day, he only wakes up for a while every day, he wants you to stay by his side. ”

Xie Yun looked at Yun Bo, Yun Bo grew up watching her, and he was one of the people she trusted the most.

"Yunbo, I won't go back, my father is not sick at all, but poisoned, I came out this time to find medicine, if I don't find the antidote, I won't go back." ”

Originally, Xie Yun didn't want to say that she wanted to rely on her own ability to find the antidote, but after encountering the blood wolf thief, she felt that things were not so simple, and she needed a reliable person to share it for her.

"What? poisoning, this can't be?"

Yun Bo said in disbelief, since Xie Changsheng was sick, he had asked many famous doctors to diagnose him, and everyone said that it was sick, but he didn't expect the young lady to say that it was poisoned.

Xie Yun said that Yun Bo didn't believe it, and if she hadn't met that person herself, she wouldn't believe it either.

"Yun Bo, this is true, I found the strange doctor, and his diagnosis will not be wrong. ”

Yun Bo didn't believe it at first, but when he heard the strange doctor, he said.

"How is this possible?"

Yun Bo was thinking as he spoke, who would poison so quietly that most famous doctors couldn't detect it.

He continued.

"If that's the case, then there's no need for the lady to pick the medicine herself, what medicine is needed, the eldest lady told me that it's okay, and I'll take someone to pick it myself." ”

Xie Yun continued.

"No, Yun Bo, if you don't leave, my father needs someone to guard him, my father was poisoned this time, I suspect that there are traitors in our house, otherwise with my father's strength, how could he not even notice that someone poisoned him." ”

"Now my father is poisoned and sick in bed, and no one is watching inside or outside, and I am extremely uneasy. I'm afraid that the other party will attack my father again. ”

"Yun Bo, you are the most trusted person by your father, at this time, you must go back immediately, stay by your father's side every step of the way, and leave the matter of finding medicine to me. ”

Yun Bo still wanted to say something.

"But, Miss······"

Xie Yun said.

"Yun Bo, now I just stay with my father, it doesn't make much difference, what my father needs most is for you to stabilize the situation in the City Lord's Mansion, I hope that when I come back, my father will be fine, and the City Lord's Mansion will be fine. ”

"Yun Bo, it's decided like this, you leave it for me, and I will bring the medicine back. ”
