Chapter 346: Whereabouts of the Night

I watched the fire gradually get up, and it was a familiar thing to me. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I've used this technique many times since I left the Sealand Palace.

Looking down at the fire, I thought of the conversation I had heard from behind the tree this morning...... In an instant, I suddenly remembered the one in the Linde Temple.

Compared to being in the palace, Ji Jiu left a better impression on me.

I still prefer to think back to what happened in the bamboo garden at that time.

At that time, I was accidentally brought to Ji Jiu and took on the task of boiling medicine for him every day.

Every day, I have to deal with fires and medicine jars.

I've also been to the pharmacy in the Zhuyuan area.

Got it with one hand and configured all the medicinal materials that Ji Jiu needed.

I patiently guarded the stove and boiled medicine for him.

At that time, I was still in the learning stage of medical skills, of course...... And now yes, too.

There is no end to studying medicine.

I am still very dedicated to my duties as a three-legged cat doctor, and I even carefully asked Ji Jiu who prescribed the medicine for him.

Later, I learned that it was prescribed by the imperial doctor in the Sealand Palace.

Yes, I am curious about all the doctors I can see who have adapted unique methods to treat patients.

Yun Chu is the master who led me into the door, but in the final analysis, I have to be interested in medical skills to improve day by day.

There are many kinds of knowledge about medical skills in the world, and you can't learn them all in a lifetime.

Escorted Master Wan before, and followed Chen Xiang to the pharmacy on the street of Beidi Town.

A conversation with the owner of the pharmacy boosted my interest again.

I was thinking that it was actually a coincidence that I was able to get Dr. Wu's codex on the way, but it seemed to ...... There is an indescribable feeling...... There is an invisible hand pushing in the dark.

I have a fate with studying medicine, otherwise I wouldn't have met the opportunity once and again.

…… Yuan Xiu left the forest and walked through the path all the way to the direction of the flower garden.

When he arrived outside the flower garden, he saw that the gardener was already standing under the tree and looking at the direction he was walking, Yuan Xiu paused slightly.

She was a little bit weak-hearted.

However, thinking of the previous conversation with Xiao Lin, Yuan Xiu's nervous mood quickly calmed down.

She secretly said in her heart that when she came to her grandfather for a while, she would tell him the truth.

Like Xiao Lin's opinion, Yuan Xiu also felt that the gardener's grandfather had some misunderstandings about Xiao Lin.

If there is anyone who can be selected here by the pioneer camp, it must be the first person selected in the camp.

Xiao Lin himself said that General Han over there sent him with his approval, and the place where he came was the residence where the empress lived......

It is reasonable for him to be what his grandfather speculated.

Otherwise, wouldn't General Han be too discerning?

If you put someone in the house, you have to have security concerns, and if you don't think it's a proper person, you can't get in!

It's important to be defensive, but don't go too far!

Yuan Xiu made up his mind and walked briskly to the big tree.

She looked at the gardener with a gloomy face and shouted, "Grandpa, it's so cold in the morning, it's windy outside, what are you standing here for?"

"Ah Xiu, did you go to the small courtyard over there again?"

The gardener looked at Yuan Xiu with a scrutinizing gaze, and after a pause, asked bluntly.

The latter nodded calmly and responded, "Yes, grandpa, I've been there." ”

"Ah Xiu, are you looking for the one named Xiaolin?"

The gardener felt powerless for a moment.

As her granddaughter grows up, she has her own ideas and sometimes disagreements with herself.

At least on this matter, they do not agree on the same thing.

The gardener looked at Yuan Xiu and said, "What Grandpa told you was all in vain?" Can't you listen to a word? ”

Yuan Xiu shook his head when he heard this, looked at the gardener and said, "Grandpa, I understand what you said. ”

The gardener looked at her and said for a moment, "Then why are you...... Still going? ”

Yuan Xiu took a step closer and said to the gardener: "Grandpa, Xiao Lin is definitely not the ill-intentioned person you said. ”

Yuan Xiu said in a gentle tone: "Xiaolin, he was transferred from the camp, if there is a problem with his character, how can the general in charge over there let him come to the mansion where His Majesty lives?" ”

"These are two different things."

The gardener paused, and said: "Ah Xiu, he deliberately found something to say to you, and said that he knew flowers and plants, and did things in the flower garden, in fact, he just wanted to be close to you!" ”

As soon as the gardener finished speaking, Yuan Xiu looked at him and shook his head and said, "Grandpa, you are prejudiced against Xiaolin, he must have done something in the flower garden." ”

"The things he talked to me about flowers and plants just now made sense of everything."

As if to prove that his judgment was not wrong, Yuan Xiu couldn't help but repeat the words he had spoken before to his grandfather.

The gardener frowned as he listened, slowly revealing a look of surprise.

"Grandpa, he not only understands the habits of flowers and plants, but also knows a little pharmacology, the flowers and plants I dug in the forest before, Xiaolin said that they can be used in medicine."

"You can't say that casually," said the gardener, whose expression was very uncomfortable, and he paused for a moment, and then answered.

Now that the topic has been extended, Yuan Xiu no longer has any scruples.

She stood under the tree and said a lot of things to her grandfather, all of which she didn't know before.

Yuan Xiuxin said in this way, grandpa should not have doubts.

She was bent on proving that Kobayashi was not the person her grandfather had misunderstood.

What's more, Yuan Xiu also knew in his heart that he went to the forest outside the small courtyard purely by chance to meet Xiaolin.

They didn't go in a premeditated way.

She happened to go to the woods today, and happened to see the flower, so she turned back to the flower garden and got tools to dig it.

Xiaolin, they just came to the house, and they were placed in this small courtyard near the forest to live.

Everything is a coincidence.

In retrospect, no matter what time they met, Xiao Lin's attitude did not seem inappropriate in Yuan Xiu's opinion.

The conversations between them were very friendly and generous, and the things they talked about were of interest to everyone.

In particular, Xiao Lin also urged her to come back to the flower garden a few times, which means that the other party is not a person without measure.

Where did Grandpa's prejudice come from?

Yuan Xiu was a little depressed in her heart.

After hearing what she said, the gardener turned around and walked slowly towards the courtyard where he lived, without saying a word.

Yuan Xiu caught up a few steps and followed silently.

The things that should be said were clear, and she wanted to change her opinion...... Grandpa had to think about it himself.

She just told her story.

The gardener walked until he walked near the bamboo fence outside the courtyard before turning around and looking at Yuan Xiudao: "That Xiaolin, since you know a lot...... Why did he go to a place like Pioneer Camp......"

The gardener didn't finish, but swallowed back the words that followed.

Yuan Xiu stood beside him, a suspicious look flashing across his face.

Why did she think that what her grandfather said just now was a little strange?!

What's wrong with the pioneer battalion, not all the people who join the army obey the assignment from above, and it's not strange where they go!

Yuan Xiu followed the gardener back to the courtyard with doubts.

…… I stayed by the fire, and the recruit Ah Rong came back first, a little earlier than Master Wan.

When I heard the sound of the door being pushed on the east side of the courtyard, I quickly stood up and walked outside.

When I got to the door, I saw Ah Rong smiling when he saw me.

"Xiaolin, are you alone?"

Ah Rong looked around the courtyard, but didn't see Master Wan's figure, so he couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I'm the only one here, Master Wan didn't come back all night last night, I don't know where I went?"

After I finished saying this, I looked at Ah Rong who was standing in front of me and asked, "What about you, why haven't you come back all night?" ”

"Xiaolin, you saw someone take me away!"

I nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I slowed down my tone and responded, "Yes, but didn't that person tell us that the female officer wants to ask you questions?" ”

I stepped closer and asked, "Will you ask all night?" ”

Ah Rong sighed and looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, I haven't figured out this matter, it's weird." ”

He turned and closed the door, walked a few steps into the courtyard, looked at the car parked in the middle of the courtyard, and then walked to the side house with a small stove.

There is a fire here, which is naturally much warmer than in the courtyard where the cold wind blows.

Ah Rong moved a stool and sat beside me, looked at me and said, "Xiaolin, the people in this courtyard are really weird. ”

"How?"

Ah Rong thought for a while, looked at me and said, "I originally followed that attendant last night. ”

"I didn't expect him to take me around for a long time, and I ended up in a very remote courtyard."

Very remote yard? I looked surprised, how could my heart be similar to mine?

It's just that I certainly didn't go to the same place as him.

Otherwise, based on the time when I come back, I will definitely meet Ah Rong.

In fact, I never met him from beginning to end.

Ah Rong paused, continued to look at me, and said, "When I got there, I went to a room with a lamp, and the attendant told me to wait there, and said that the female officer would come to question me later." ”

"The result? How long have you waited? Are people coming? ”

How do I have a hunch, as if I have waited for Ah Rong to look at it.

Sure enough, the next second he smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't been here at all, but it's quite warm, and there is food on the table in that room, so I'll get you some." ”

Ah Rong opened the small package he had been holding in his hand and took out the snacks inside, and I smiled the next moment when I saw it.

I reached out and took it from the table next to me, held it to him and said, "Is this the same master?" I looked at this snack and it looked pretty much the same. ”

Seeing this, Ah Rong was so surprised that he looked down at the two dim sum for a while and found that they were exactly the same as I described.

It looks like it's all made by the same dim sum chef in the house.

"Speaking of which, I haven't even tasted it yet! I also gave it to the attendant, and I brought it back thinking that the three of us would have breakfast together. ”

After I finished speaking, I raised my eyes to look at Ah Rong, who was staring at me for a moment, and couldn't help but smile: "Is there any problem?" ”

Ah Rong seemed a little shocked, and only came back to his senses after a while and asked me, "Xiaolin, so let's say, none of us lived in this courtyard last night?" ”

I shook my head and said, "No, I do live here, you see the quilt I covered when I slept in the corner of the house!" ”

Ah Rong followed my line of sight, and saw the quilt in the corner of the room and the "simple" bed I had put together.

He looked at me for a while, then looked back at me and frowned, "Why are you sleeping here?" ”

The topic shifts quickly, and I have to explain a few words.

"Ah Rong, you saw what I found in the house...... Isn't the charcoal brazier enough? I just wanted to save some money. ”

My eyes fell on his face, and after seeing his expression clearly, I pointed to the fire in the room and said, "I think the stove is lit anyway, so it might as well be here for a while." ”

"Originally, the three of them lived in this courtyard, but neither of you came back, and it was a bit of a waste to use the charcoal fire alone!"

Ah Rong immediately said loudly: "Where is it! Xiaolin, you are so thin, it is troublesome to get sick from the cold, the weather is too cold. ”

After saying this, Ah Rong said embarrassedly: "Xiaolin, I almost forgot, you are also a doctor!" ”

He looked around in a tone and said, "But it's really too cold here, if you're alone, you have to light a charcoal brazier!" ”

"Okay, I'll remember next time."

I understood that he had good intentions.

"Xiaolin, then you are ...... Ever left here in the morning and followed the attendants? ”

Ah Rong looked at me and asked.

"No, it was almost dawn when someone knocked on the door outside, so I followed."

I paused, glanced into the courtyard, retracted my gaze, and continued, "I was taken by the attendant to a courtyard similar to what you said, and there was no one there. ”

Ah Rong asked me, "Xiaolin, what did he ask you to do?" ”

"The kitchen over there doesn't look very useful, but there's a big tank in the corner," I tilted my head and explained, "and the person who took me said that if I filled the tank with water, I could take the snacks from the kitchen stove." ”

I looked at Ah Rong and smiled, "There is a well in the yard." ”

"He just put me in charge of bringing the water from the well to the tank!"

Ah Rong looked at me and said, "I can do this kind of thing, but unfortunately I wasn't there at that time." ”

"Hey, don't underestimate me, it's okay!"

Ah Rong scratched his head and looked at me embarrassedly when he heard this: "Xiaolin, I don't mean to look down on you, it's just that your body is really doing physical work...... You'd better prescribe a prescription and become a doctor. ”

"Well, I know, I'm kidding!"

"I filled the tank with water and brought back this bag of snacks."

I omitted to meet the strange squire in the middle, but I didn't mention it.

That person doesn't look very friendly.,I don't want to say so much in front of Ah Rong.,After all, I've known each other for a short time.,Appropriately keep some information.。。

"Ah Rong, we didn't finish talking about it before...... Didn't you tell me that you went to the courtyard over there, but you didn't wait for the female officer who asked you to come over, did you wait all night? ”

With that, I looked puzzled.

Because when Ah Rong came back, I saw that he was obviously well rested, and it really didn't look like he had waited all night in an empty house.
