12. [Pick up two] Re-encounter
The short-distance post station, much smaller than a few people per station, seemed to surround the shop in a crushing manner. The people around him all wore black yarn on their heads, embroidered spring knives on their waists, and their soap boots were shiny.
Qin slowly grasped her tiger purse, and obediently learned from others to lower their heads and eyes, staring at the ants crawling in the soil at their feet.
The one who came in at the head pressed the handle of the knife and walked into the small noodle shop without hurrying, and without speaking, his eagle-like gaze slid over the people in the noodle shop one by one, and the people he was staring at couldn't help but weaken their legs and feet. There is no unknown prestige of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Dayan, in the eyes of the common people, they are all evil ghosts who eat people without blinking, who will not be afraid?
It was so quiet that you could hear the soles of your boots pacing back and forth on the ground. After walking around, he didn't find the person he was looking for, and the man raised his hand to signal the team to leave.
The owner of the noodle shop and the diners breathed a sigh of relief, and Qin Slow, who counted forty ants, also exhaled softly.
"Wait." The brocade guard, who stepped out with one foot, turned around, stared at a corner of the shop, and walked back and forth step by step, looking at the girl with light hair that was not like an ordinary person: "Suluo people? β
Qin Slow's hanging head shook violently.
"Yue's Country?"
Still shake.
"Ask you, raise your head and talk back!" Jin Yiwei scolded fiercely, and at the same time, the hand that pressed the handle of the knife was lifted upward, and someone suddenly gasped.
The lowered head was raised reluctantly, and a smile squeezed out of the wrinkled little face: "Official, I am a Dayan person, a good citizen!" β
"......" Qin Guan stared at the strange and familiar face, and smiled for a while, "Yo, Miss Qin, I haven't seen you a lot in two days." β
Qin slowly put on a bitter face and didn't speak, and laughed dryly.
"Yes, it's the same to find you, just make a difference. Will the girl come with us? β
βββββββββββββ
After walking for most of the day, Qin Slow, who was left off the horse, raised his head with his chest and saw the familiar lintel at a glance. The same crumbling broken door, the same moss-covered steps, except that the old dog at the door had turned from life to death, his tongue stuck out to his mouth, and two cloudy eyes looked up at the sky.
Qin was stunned when she saw the old dog, she was a little sad, squatted down and stroked its eyelids and muttered: "There are hairy beasts, die early and take care of life." β
Qin Guan at the back was impatient: "Girl, please come in, the old man is waiting inside." β
"Oh......" Qin slowly touched the old dog's already cold head again, Fang slowly stood up and pushed the door open.
The courtyard inside the door was chaotic, the old trees were faint, and a person leaned over in a silver-gray cloak, looking at the flowers and plants that Ren Zhongping regarded as treasures with interest.
Yongque saw Qin Slow, and the smile on his face was eternally warm and friendly: "Miss Qin, we will meet again." β
The tone was as affectionate as if the two were really friends who had reunited after a long absence.
Thick clouds covered the sky, and the hazy sunlight fell through the shadows of the trees, like fog and lan. And the sleeves of his robe fluttered in it, and his mind was like a fog that made it impossible to see.
After getting along for a while, Qin Slow couldn't help but be in a trance when he saw that shocking face, and naturally blurted out: "Childe is good!" β
Yongque didn't react, but she herself tried to change her mouth as if she had bitten her tongue: "Uh...... How is the Overseer? β
"That's it, what you called me before, how do you call me now." Yongque waved his hand casually, he didn't have much interest in a little girl taking Qiao, and for a person like her, there was not much difference between the governor and the state and county commanders, they were all from the official family, "The doctor here is a friend of Miss Qin?" β
He has always disliked playing Tai Chi with people, the question is clear to you, only yes or no, if you want to gag, you have to weigh it well.
Qin Slow didn't have the ability, she still had this bit of eyesight, she nodded honestly: "Yes." β
Yongque didn't try to figure out the truth of her answer, since the person brought it, he always had a way to make her spit out the truth. This girl looks small, her heart is lively, and she is not a person who asks for hardships: "Don't hide it from the girl, our family came today to seek medical treatment, but when we came, there was only one empty house." Later, when I inquired, I said that there was a little girl who had entered the house. Come to think of it, it's Miss Qin, right? β
Qin Chu was really stunned this time, although Ren Zhongping said that she was going to run away when she left earlier, but with his procrastination and his attention to the baby bumps in the courtyard, it was difficult to say whether he could go or not. But listening to his words, she walked with her front foot, and Ren Zhongping's back foot was gone?
She couldn't help but look back at the broken door, where the dead old dog could be faintly seen through the crack, and she sighed, frowning and turning her head, only to crash into her eyes that stared gloomily. These eyes, when smiling, are full of brilliance, and when they are not smiling, they are as quiet as a cold pool, and the bottom of the pool is a sharp edge.
"Yes, the villain has been here today." Qin Chu seemed to be frightened by him, and his voice trembled lightly, "But when I came, he was there." She paused and said seriously, "He was there when I left!" β
"So, the girl doesn't know where the doctor is going?" The eyebrows of the willow were twisted together.
Qin shook her head like a rattle, and after shaking it, she thought for a while: "But I think he didn't leave voluntarily, maybe he was taken away." β
"Why?" Yongque asked in surprise, but there was a smile in his eyes.
The grass in the courtyard was mixed, dotted with pink and red flowers, but the good spring light was lost in his smile. Qin Slow almost fell into his mind again, busy and steady, and said slowly: "With the villain's understanding of Ren Zhongping, he regards flowers and plants as obsessed, and will never leave them unattended and leave categorically; And just now I touched the corpse of the old dog at the door, and found that its skull was shattered, and it was obviously killed by a palm. Touching his body again stiffened Cheng DΓΉ, almost as if I had died violently when I left before. Ren Zhongping's martial arts skills are not high, and the person who can smash the skull with one palm is not a problem to capture him. So I guess he was forced to leave. β
Yongque glanced at it, Qin Guan immediately went to the door silently, and after a while, he turned around and arched: "As Miss Qin said." β
"Miss Qin's mind is really shrewd," If it weren't for her cleverness, how could she force someone to jump over the wall in a hurry when she was in the Hua family, and even resorted to the means of killing people and destroying people, Yongque nodded appreciatively, "I just hope that the girl will tell me that the medical saint has any enemies, and it will be convenient for us to find and save him." β
Qin slowly thought for a while, and sighed: "This villain really didn't think about it for a while, Ren Zhongping is famous, and there are more people who have the enemy but have his favor." β
Yongque also thought of this, and the medical saints who lived here were rumored to be flesh and bones, and the living dead. It doesn't matter if it's true or not, but several famous heroes in the rivers and lakes, such as Jiangnan Shenzhu Fu Yunhe, Shenshu Daozi and others have all saved him. Such a person, even if he has an enemy, the enemy will not dare to come to the door lightly, after all, he may not know when he will have to ask for it.
A person who can rob people under the nose of Dongchang, Yongque is not angry but laughs, he has not met such interesting people and things for a long time, that person is counted as one, and the current Qin Slow is also counted as one.
When we met in Washington, she was still a little girl with a gray face like a little mouse, and she hadn't seen her change into her current appearance after two days of absence. A person who has been washed with water, no matter how many girls beg for snow, they can't ask for a snowy skin, but they are too white, there is no blood and anger, and people are sick and pitiful; The ponytail tied up high added two points of spirit to her, but this hair color was too different from ordinary people, no wonder she was caught by Qin Guan at a glance.
With such a disguise, I don't know which blind man who doesn't have long eyes to fool, Yongque scoffed.
Aside from the appearance, the person is still the same person, seven points of stupidity, two points of cowardice, and one point of half-truth and half-false shrewdness. Often, it is this half-truthed shrewdness that can kill people.
His mind was spinning, and when his eyes fell on her face, he happened to catch a flickering look of suspicion, a cunning little fox......
So he smiled and said, "I won't be able to figure it out for a while, so let's think about it with our family, and then talk about it when I figure it out." He was tall and tall, standing in front of Qin Slow and bending down slightly, "Since the medical saint is Miss Qin's friend, presumably Miss Qin also wants to find him as soon as possible, right?" β
"......" Qin looked at him slowly, his mouth open for a long time and did not close.
βββββββββββββ
Qin has been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and he rarely deals with the government, and he has only heard of the two divisions of Dongchang and Jinyiwei in people's oral traditions.
She originally thought that most of the eunuchs in the East Factory were eunuchs, but later found out that the few who were only in charge of affairs were the internal eunuchs in the palace, and the stall leaders under them were all real men. As for the one who was collectively called the factory lord and the overseer by Qin Guan, he was naturally a eunuch among eunuchs.
This was Qin Slow's heart, of course, she didn't dare to say it in front of Yongque.
In this way, there is a more reasonable explanation for his good skin, after all, not every man has such a good appearance. But then again, he is also a eunuch, and he was sent to take care of him, but in fact, this Huo An who was being watched was born very bad-looking, and it was a world of difference from Yongque.
"Miss Qin, the slaves will serve you from now on, if you have anything, just tell the slaves, the overseer said that as long as you can do it and don't go out of line, girl, you just open your mouth!" Huo An diligently poured tea and water for Qin Slow. At the moment, on the way to Huizhou, they abandoned the official road in order to conceal themselves, and specially picked a bumpy mountain road. The brocade guards who followed him on both sides walked at least lightly, but they took pity on Qin Slow, who was forced to sit in the carriage, swaying up and down.
"Father-in-law Huo," she lay on the small table weakly, "I'm used to playing Xiaoye, so I really don't have to serve you." β
"Hey!" Huo An panicked, "The girl can torture the slave!" The girl is the person that the overseer values, just call the slave Xiao Anzi. β
This Huo An looks like he is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but his mouth is clever and likable, Qin slowly pinched her tiger head purse and asked listlessly: "Then Huo Xiaogong, what are we doing in Huizhou?" β
"This ...... You'll have to ask the Overseer about his old man. β
