Chapter Ninety-Six: Where the Heart Belongs (14)

After a moment of silence, Du Ruhui saw that she was not crying anymore, so he raised his hand to help her up, and said gently: "It's deeper, go to bed early." ”

How could she sleep, and she was afraid of disturbing his sleep, so she lay quietly on the couch and took care of herself. After a while, he reached out and grabbed her, allowing her to lean against his chest. Mu Qing sniffed deeply, and instantly his entire heart was filled with his breath, as if it was familiar to the blood of his bones. "I, I miss Daddy and Grandma so much." She said in a trembling voice: "On the second day of Daddy's death, I followed you, and it has been more than three years, and I don't know where Daddy and Grandma are buried. ”

Du Ruhui lowered his head and put his cheek on her forehead, and said softly: "I should also go back to worship my teacher, and now I am not only a teacher, but also a father." When the situation is a little calmer, we will go back together to pay respects. ”

Mu Qing nodded silently on his chest, and after a moment of silence, he said again: "When I return to the Eastern Capital, I will buy the Gu family's old mansion for you, and when he is established and the common people will no longer suffer from charcoal, we will still go to live there together. ”

Mu Qing buried his face deeper, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, thinking about that scene, it was obvious that he wanted to laugh, but it caused tears to flow straight down. There was still some way from the school field, and suddenly I heard the noisy voices of people in front of me, and looked out from the pane of the car wall, and saw a large number of people gathered in one place, blocking the road, and the carriage could not pass anymore. Mu Qing lifted the curtain on the car and asked Ada, "There is already a garrison in front of you, why are so many people surrounded?" But what happened? Go check it out. ”

Ada parked the car on the side of the road and said to Mu Qing: "Lady, sit down." I'll come when I go. ”

It was stuffy in the car, and after sitting for a while, Ah Liu couldn't bear it, and opened the curtain to look, and saw Ada hurrying back. When he got closer, he frowned and said, "Let's change the way, the people in front of me are making trouble, and they carry a corpse to block the way." He said that he had healed him of death, and I looked at the good face. It seems that it is the doctor who came to treat the lady. "It's fine. I just looked at it from afar. Doctor Zhao's clever methods, how could he cure people, there must be some misunderstanding inside. ”

Ada saw that he couldn't stop it, so he only looked at Aliu, originally wanting her to stop her. Ah Liu knew Mu Qing's temperament very well, where could this be stopped, so he didn't stop it, only raised his eyebrows and said to Ada: "Don't hurry up and follow." He woke up like a dream, and hurried behind her, blocking the crowd for her.

Mu Qing walked through the crowd and walked to the middle. That Zhao Cangzheng was grabbed by the arms of two men and twisted behind him, and he tried to turn back and explain to the two men, but in vain. Looking at the ground again, there was a corpse lying on a thin wooden plank, about fifty or sixty years old, uncovered by a cloth, with a dark complexion, unable to close his eyes, and staring upwards and turning white, as if he had suffered great pain before dying. This shape made her startled, and a cold sweat broke out in her palms, and she thought of the fight in the backyard of the old Caitou's inn for no reason, and when the long knife pierced the guard's throat in her hand, he also stared at her with wide eyes.

The noise of the people pulled her back from her horror, and she reluctantly calmed down, and looked left and right, and the largest military attache she could see was only a lieutenant in a light blue suit, or just a halberd chief, who was standing on the side at a loss, and it seemed that she could not count on it. Another middle-aged man held a clay bowl in one hand, and waved it back and forth with his angry words in the other hand, and the thick black medicinal juice in the clay bowl spilled a little from time to time.

"My father had a cough a few days ago, and because this doctor was preaching that he would not be paid for the disease, he was made to see it. I didn't know that according to his prescription, I grabbed the medicine to eat, and after eating it for three days, I suddenly felt unbearable heartache, and I screamed in pain in the middle of the night. Let's look at this dark face, isn't it poisoned by his medicine? The middle-aged man said with red eyes and a choked voice, raising the clay bowl in his hand as he spoke.

Zhao Cang struggled and shouted, "You don't talk nonsense!" Your father is indeed right with a cough, but he did not die of medicine, this is clearly a death from chest paralysis! ”

He muttered like this, and everyone looked at the thin plank lying on it, and I don't know who said it loudly: "Can it be verified?" ”

This sentence taught Zhao Cang to cry and mourn his face, "How can he verify this, if he has that ability, what can he do!" The two men who were holding him at his side had no patience to quarrel with him any longer, and one of them kicked him in the socket of his knee, forcing him to kneel on one knee, while the other shouted with red eyes, "If you have killed someone, you will pay for it." A sharp stone the size of a bowl in his hand was about to be smashed on Zhao Cang's head, and the person who was still making noise suddenly stopped his voice and held his breath at the same time.

"Slow down." Zhao Cang's life was hanging on a hair-thin line, and suddenly a faint voice floated out from the silent crowd, like a wireless rope, lassosing the hand that was about to smash the sharp stone. Mu Qing walked out of the crowd and walked straight to the man holding the soup bowl, "You said that the soup in this bowl is the prescription prescribed by this doctor, can he recognize it?" ”

The man was stunned, looked at Mu Qing, looked at the clay bowl, and then looked at Zhao Cang. "Even if he wants to pay for his life, he should also be convinced and admit it in person, so that he can comfort the deceased. Since he is a healer, he can smell the herbs, and you take the medicine and smell it with him, and ask him only if it is his prescription. Seeing that he couldn't react for a while, Mu Qing added another sentence, and then he had a sudden expression, strode up to Zhao Cang with the bowl, and pushed the bowl under the tip of his nose fiercely.

Zhao Cang was frightened, and he added doubts and looked at Mu Qing carefully. She tugged at him slightly, nodded nonchalantly, and then cleared her throat and said to him, "Can you sniff clearly, is this medicine from you?" Can you blindly not get it right? ”

He hesitantly sniffed it a few times, then looked up and said, "No." It's just some common cough medications. ”

As soon as these words fell, the man holding the bowl only felt that his hand was empty, and he didn't have time to react, the medicine bowl had already reached Mu Qing's hand. He stretched out his hand to grab her wrist, how could Ada, who was standing on the side, allow him to touch his own lady in the slightest, raised his hand and slapped his hand away, and did not allow him to come close.

Mu Qing held the medicine bowl and looked at Zhao Cang fixedly, "Mr. Zhao, can Qi Niang trust you?" ”

Zhao Cang nodded again and again without hesitation: "A certain person is absolutely harmless!" The lady can be trusted. ”

All the people present, the onlookers, the two men who detained Zhao Cang, the owner of the medicine bowl who had just been taken away, the lieutenant in light blue clothes who was panicked, and even Ada and Ah Liu, who followed her, no one understood the back and forth questions and answers between the two, and they were still smacking the taste, so they heard Mu Qing raise his voice, raised the medicine bowl and said: "This doctor has recognized that this medicine is prescribed by him, and it has harmless poison, so you will know it when you try it." If it is poisonous, its sin should be punished, and if it is not poisonous, how can you say that everyone is offended? ”…

"The three of my brothers kowtow in public to apologize!" Zhao Cang's one behind him twisted and pressed his arm and said loudly.

"Everyone heard!" Mu Qing said sharply, attracting a chorus, and the crowd boiled again, "test the medicine" and "eat it by himself" shouted in high and low voices. She ignored the crowd, and brought the clay bowl to her lips, opened her mouth and poured it straight into her mouth, because she was in a hurry, two small wisps of black and brown medicinal juice flowed down the corners of her mouth, and snaked to the white neck.

Ada was shocked, but he didn't dare to pull it, Ah Liu's face changed in fright, and he reached out to grab the medicine bowl in her hand, where was there still time, a bowl of medicine juice had fallen into her throat, and she was in her stomach in an instant.

Once again, the noisy crowd stopped their voices and looked at her with their mouths wide open. The two men behind Zhao Cang were so shocked that they put down the hands that twisted his arms, opened their mouths and stared, staring at the slender woman in front of them blankly, and did not react for a long time.
