Chapter 311: Footprints
Shao Mingyuan handed the burden to Qiao Zhao: "It's some food that Shixi asked me to bring you." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Qiao Zhao took it and opened it in front of Shao Mingyuan, there were several packets of time-honored vegetarian snacks and a melon.
The melon is golden brown and has a sweet fragrance.
Qiao Zhao didn't know what to say for a while.
"Shixi still has a few words for me to convey to Miss Li." Shao Mingyuan noticed that the atmosphere was a little awkward, and said busily.
"What does Brother Chi have to say?" Qiao Zhao asked calmly.
"He said-" Shao Mingyuan looked at the girl's dark eyes and hesitated, "I want you to take care of your body, he will work hard, and marry you openly in the future." ā
Qiao Zhao's face turned cold.
Marry her openly? So does she want to be very moved, and thank this "matchmaker" who passed the word?
The girl's cold eyes made the young general a little confused.
He just brought a word - neither did he mean to match them, nor did he mean to obstruct them, a girl like Miss Li had her own ideas in her heart, and she should not be disturbed by external objects.
But why is Miss Li angry again?
"General Shao took off his clothes, I finished giving you the needle earlier, and I will go back to the nunnery."
"Ugh." Shao Mingyuan raised his hand to untie his belt.
Someone is obviously used to undressing.
Qiao Zhao raised his eyebrows.
Didn't even realize your mistake? He's a general with a heavy army, doesn't he feel ashamed of his errand of robbing the matchmaker?
Qiao Zhao couldn't help but think of the night before.
The man in front of her had covered her all night with a quilt, and she was going to freeze into ice, and now he told her that other men were going to try to marry her? And happy to see it?
The more Miss Qiao thought about it, the more annoyed she became, she stretched out her index finger and poked someone's abdominal muscles, and said coolly: "What kind of medicine did General Shao use to remove scars, it is good here quite quickly." ā
Shao Mingyuan's face turned red and turned into a ripe shrimp.
Qiao Zhao glanced at him lightly, unable to show the slightest sympathy, and while piercing the silver needle into his chest, he said coldly: "General Shao is still too busy to take care of himself, it is better not to meddle in the future." ā
Shao Mingyuan opened his mouth, not daring to argue.
He didn't, he just passed the word!
But Miss Li looks so terrible today, if he explains, what if she continues to poke him?
With this awareness, the young general kept his mouth shut honestly, until Qiao Zhao put away the silver needle, and still did not say a word.
Qiao Zhao saw him dressed silently and asked, "Is there any news of Ice Green and Morning Light?" ā
"Not yet, I've sent someone to look for them." Seeing Qiao Zhao asking about business, Shao Mingyuan quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Are Miss Li's feet better?" ā
"I soaked my feet with some medicine and hot compresses, and the swelling has subsided, and I will soon be able to move freely, so I don't have to trouble the masters of Shuying Nunnery to carry me down at that time."
"It's all for the sake of giving injections to Miss Li that it is so troublesome."
"General Shao saved my life, don't say such polite words, I'm going back to Shuying Nunnery."
Shao Mingyuan took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Zhao: "Miss Li, put this away." ā
"What is this?" Qiao Zhao looked at the things in Shao Mingyuan's hand.
It was a small object no more than three inches long, like jade but not jade, like bone but not bone, I couldn't tell what material it was, and there were rounded holes on it.
Rao is Qiao Zhao is well-informed, and he can't recognize what it is.
Shao Mingyuan explained: "This is called the bone flute, which is made of the throat bone of a beast in the north, the flute has a short sound and strong penetrating power, Miss Li should take this with her." Now that the mountain road is cut off, and your legs and feet are inconvenient, if you encounter any situation, blow it, and I can hear the distance from Shukage-an to Daifuku-ji Temple. ā
Qiao Zhao held the small bone flute, only to feel as cool as jade, but said in his mouth: "Even if there is really something, it is inconvenient for General Shao to hear it, and Shuying Nunnery does not allow lay men to approach." ā
Shao Mingyuan said with a serious face: "Rules are dead, people are alive, Miss Li just put it away." ā
"Okay, I'll take it, thank you General Shao."
Qiao Zhao, who returned to Shuying Nunnery, rubbed the bone flute given by Shao Mingyuan after he was idle, and said in his heart: That person is careful, but this flute should not be used.
The mountains are clean, time is flowing slowly like flowing water for a few days, Qiao Zhao has been able to go to Dafu Temple on his own to apply needles to Shao Mingyuan to expel poison, and after coming and going, he has become more and more familiar with Xiao Shami Xuanjing.
On this day, Qiao Zhao was about to go back after administering the needle to Shao Mingyuan, and Xiao Xuanjing picked up a rabbit out of nowhere: "Female donor, this rabbit's leg is bleeding, can you teach me how to bandage it?" ā
"Okay." Wild herbs can be seen everywhere in the mountains, Qiao Zhao led Xuan Jing to pick a handful of hemostatic medicine, taught him to mash it and apply it to the rabbit's wound, and bandaged it with a handkerchief, and tied a beautiful bow.
"Okay, we'll change the dressing together tomorrow."
Xuan Jing nodded again and again: "Okay, the female donor saved the rabbit's life, and the merit is immeasurable." ā
Qiao Zhao couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and pinched Xuan Jing's face: "Then I should thank this rabbit." ā
"Female donor, the little monk will send you back to Shuying Nunnery."
"No need, the rabbit is injured, doesn't the little master still have to take care of it, I'll just go back myself."
"Do you know the way?" Hyun Jing asked worriedly.
Qiao Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Of course I know, isn't there only one way from Dafu Temple to Shuying Nunnery?" ā
"No, I will tell you quietly, the female benefactor, in fact, there is still a road, but that road will go far away, and you have to cross a bridge, and the bridge was broken a long time ago, earlier than I was born, so over time, no one remembers."
"Then how did the little master know?"
Xuan Jing blushed: "Once I got lost, I found out." The little monk is afraid that you will get lost, so he told you. ā
"Little Master, don't worry, I will follow the road we go back and forth every day, and I will never get lost."
Xuanjing stood up, held the rabbit in one hand, and patted the dust on the monk's robe with the other: "Then the little monk is relieved." See you tomorrow, donor. ā
"See you tomorrow."
After saying goodbye to the little novice, Qiao Zhao stepped on the mountain road and returned to Shuying Nunnery.
The temple is higher than the Daifukuji Temple, but it occupies a much smaller area, and the entire nunnery is hidden in lush flowers and trees.
Qiao Zhao was already familiar with this road, she walked to the door of the nunnery with light steps, and pushed the door in.
She used her lunch at Dafu Temple today, and she accompanied Xuanjing to pick herbs, and came back later than usual.
The nunnery was quiet, and at this time, the masters in the nunnery should be taking a lunch break, but the more Qiao Zhao walked inside, the more he felt that something was faintly wrong, as if he had become a prey, and was hidden by the patient hunter to peep in the dark, and walked step by step into the trap that had been arranged earlier.
Her footsteps slowed down, and the rest of her eyes swept to both sides, and suddenly she caught a glimpse of a footprint beside the medicine garden.
It was a man's footprint!
Qiao Zhao turned around suddenly.
