Chapter 1 Danger lurks
Jing Ning was sick in the Lotus Valley and never woke up, Jiu'er was very anxious, but she couldn't. Geng'er is still drunk, he can't count on it, even if he is anxious at this time, he can only wait for Wuge to come back.
According to the usual recipe left by Xilin Jinchun in Wuzhu Ju, Jiu'er first went to the herb garden to grab some medicine, boiled it in a purple clay pot, and fed it to Jing Ning. I thought that it would be good if I could help Jing Ning get the fever down, but as a result, the medicine couldn't be fed at all, and it was all sprinkled on Jing Ning's clothes.
Jiu'er sighed, and in a panic, she took a towel to wipe the decoction that fell on Jing Ning's neck, and after the most disfigured, although the decoction was wiped clean, the brocade quilt, pillow, and Jing Ning's clothes were all stained with brown stains, so they had to be changed and washed.
Seeing that the medicine couldn't be fed, and the master of the dance song didn't know when he would come back, Jing Ning was lying down like this without eating or drinking, and he still had a fever, so it was really not a way to wait like this, Jiu'er had to turn to Renshantang for help.
When he arrived at the bank of the Xiangjiang River, Jiu'er took out the pigeon in his arms and quietly released it. The thin stick holder on the pigeon's feet contained a letter folded into thin strips, which read: Ning'er has been ill for a long time and has no medical treatment, so she asked Xilin for help.
Watching the pigeon fly away, Jiu'er's lonely heart rose with a touch of expectation, she only hoped that Master Xilin could come soon, don't miss the time, otherwise if Jing Ning has a good one, Geng'er will not be scolded to death. How can this guy who doesn't have a long heart do so many things in minutes?
Jiu'er complained about Geng'er while walking back, and when she arrived at the grass hall, she remembered that the decanting soup for Geng'er was still boiling on the fire, so she hurriedly went to check. The decanting soup was indeed boiling, but fortunately, when she came back, the soup had not overflowed the pot.
After the decoction was boiled, Jiu'er took it and fed it to Geng'er, seeing that he was still sleepy and showed no signs of waking up, he always felt that something was wrong. In the past, Geng'er ate wine was a common thing, according to the word, it was just peach blossom wine, it shouldn't be so intoxicating, Ning children's family, not strong enough to drink, but it is reasonable, but Geng'er has taken the sobering decoction so many times, and he has not woken up, but it is strange.
Thinking of this, Jiu'er went to Geng'er to drink the rest of the wine. The hurry to come back that day, plus Jing Ning and Geng'er were drunk, helping them back, Jiu'er was exhausted, where could he take care of the wine jar? Today, I have to go down to the edge of the Xiangjiang River to find it.
Jing Ning's clothes won't be changed at this time, so let's come back in the evening. Thinking like this, Jiu'er carried a basket. When I went down to the edge of the Xiangjiang River, it was not early, and the sky was rumbling, like spring thunder, I was afraid that it was going to rain, Jiu'er hurriedly quickened his pace.
It was easy to find the jar, one was empty, and the other was still full. Jiu'er put down the back basket, put the unopened jar into the back basket, put it on his back and carried it, and the empty wine jar was abandoned in its place because it was too heavy.
When I returned to the thatched cottage, it was already raining outside, and Jiu'er was drenched. Carefully put down the back basket, checked the situation of Geng'er and Jingning, and saw that the two were still the same, there was no change, Jiu'er was a little relieved, and began to boil the soup.
The rice is burning in the pot, Jiu'er sits on the side and looks at the wine jar, the sauce blue pot-bellied coarse porcelain jar, there is nothing special, and the shape of the jar is irregular, like inferior goods from the porcelain kiln, and there is no ornamentation, inscription and the like, but this kind of porcelain wine jar, Danxiang Kingdom seems to be rare.
Danxiang people have always loved singing and dancing, everything is fine, gorgeous, attention to detail, chic, like the sound of silk and bamboo, elegant things, every these times, there must always be wine accompanied, so, a wine vessel is made of fine porcelain, and there are many ornaments, floating pictures, inscriptions and the like, good for the occasion. It's an ordinary people's home, if there is no wine, it's fine, if there is, the utensils for wine will definitely not dare to be sloppy. In this way, the wine jar looks even more strange.
The rice soup on the pot was boiling boiling, Jiu'er stood up and lifted the lid of the pot, stirred it with a spoon, and covered it again. On the table next to the table, there were washed dishes, and Jiu'er clanged for a while, cut them and put them on the plate, ready to stir-fry.
When I came over, the wine jar was really in the way, so Jiu'er wiped her hands and picked it up and put it on the table next to her.
When the food was cooked, Jiu'er was the only one in the room, silently serving the food to the table, eating alone, and then silently bringing it back, cleaning up, washing and scrubbing.
Seeing that she was wet and didn't have time to change her clothes, Jiu'er remembered that Jing Ning's clothes stained with decoction were still on her body, and she didn't have time to change them, so she got up and went to the room to change her clothes for Jing Ning.
Passing by the table with the wine jar, he tripped over it for no reason, and saw that the wine jar was about to smash on himself, Jiu'er hurriedly used his arm to block it. It just so happened that Xilin Jinchun came in the rain at this time, and as soon as he pushed the door, he saw such a scene, and hurriedly blocked it with the sword on his body, sweeping the wine jar aside.
Jiu'er heard the dull sound of the wine jar falling to the ground, so she took her arm away and sat up, and when she saw Xilin Jinchun, she immediately got up and said happily: "Xilin Gongzi, you are here, go and see Ning'er." ”
Xilin Jinchun nodded, took off his coat and hat, picked up the saber on the ground, swept the wine jar rolling on the ground by the light, frowned, and asked, "Where did this wine jar come from?" ”
Jiu'er said inexplicably: "I don't know, this is the rest of Geng'er who took it out and drank it with Ning'er a few days ago, I saw that the two of them drank this wine for several days and didn't wake up, I felt that this thing was strange, so I looked for this wine to see if I could find something." Why, what did Mr. Xilin find? ”
Xilin Jinchun frowned when he heard this, looked at the wine jar, turned his back to Jiu'er and said, "This jar was originally used for medicinal purposes, why did it use it to make wine?" ”
"What? The jar that seals the medicine? Jiu'er was taken aback when she heard Xilin Jinchun's words, and hurriedly asked, "Xilin Gongzi, do you know what kind of medicine was originally sealed in this jar of Lu Dao, but is it poisonous?" ”
"This peach blossom wine does not look like it is freshly brewed, looking at the color of this porcelain, it has been some years, and the aroma of the wine has long covered the original taste in the jar, so that people cannot know. If you want to know what kind of medicine was originally in this jar, I'm afraid you have to drink this wine to know Lu Dao. Let's go and see Ning'er and Geng'er first! ”
Hearing this, Jiu'er nodded, took a candlestick to lead the way, and said, "Xilin Gongzi is going here!" ”
Xilin Jinchun entered the door, glanced around, and then turned his eyes to the girl sleeping on the bed. Putting the saber on the table beside him, Xilin Jinchun moved a chair and sat down, reaching out to check Jing Ning's pulse.
After his series of actions, Jiu'er felt a sense of fear when he watched from the sidelines.
Xilin Jinchun has never carried a sword on his body, he has a snake bamboo green flute, often in his sleeve, which is not seen on weekdays, and will only be revealed in critical moments. It turned out that Jiu'er didn't know what to do, or the time when the two of them joined forces to play in the other courtyard, he hid a bamboo flute on the bed, and Jiu'er knew.
Moreover, Xilin Jinchun and Jing Ning are very close, and they all sit directly on the edge of the bed and hold their hands to find out her condition. But today, he is so scrupulous in observing etiquette, which is not at all like Xilin Jinchun's actions.
Could it be ......
