I've got to figure it out!

Is this herb in front of him the variety recorded in Wu Yu's father's codex?

Otherwise, even if I spend time digging it, it will be useless, and it will be in vain!

While doing all this, the boy jumped out of the carriage at some point and came to me.

He didn't speak to me, as if he was worried about disturbing me about what I was doing.

He just looked at me quietly and narrowed his eyes.

Watch me take out Dr. Wu's booklet to check it, watch me take out the dagger I was carrying for self-defense, and carefully loosen the soil next to the herb.

I did the whole process extremely meticulously and professionally!

The young man watched the whole time, and he was extremely attentive, and his eyes never took off for a moment.

After a moment, his gaze paused on my codex, which was resting on the rock, and he crouched down to take it in his hand and flipped through it quickly.

Then, he raised his head and looked at me with a strange look in his eyes, and asked me in a low voice: "Xiaoling, what kind of martial artist are you really involved with that martial artist in Nanhua Town?" ”

It sounded like he was asking the question because the question had been swirling in his mind for a long time.

However, when I heard it at first glance, I still couldn't react to it.

I looked at him in amazement, completely understanding how a tsundere boy could ask such an abrupt question when I was doing something.

I'll have to think about how to answer him.

Glancing over the booklet, maybe it has something to do with this?

Although there is no signature on Dr. Wu's codex, others will not associate it at a glance.

But walk around town. If you meet those who seek medical treatment, you will probably hear about the fact that the most famous doctor in town has gone to the south of Sealand.

Maybe the boy just heard about it in the town by accident, so he asked.

The tsundere boy still looked at me with an inquiring look. For a moment, there was no intention to look away.

Avoiding his gaze, I patted the dirt on my hands, picked up the herbs I had dug up, lowered my head and said to the young man beside me, "I'll go to the mountain stream to wash my hands." "You wait for me."

With that, I stopped looking at him, and took the herb and went down the hill to the side path. Arrive at a small stream.

I don't want to answer rashly, I think I can at least explain it to him after consideration.

In winter, the water is cold, even when the morning sun rises. The stream was still cold to the bone.

I put the root of the herb in the stream to wash the dirt from it, and then laid it on the bluestone on the side.

I carefully washed my hands in the stream, and at the same time washed the self-defense dagger that had been temporarily used as a digging tool.

The water on my hands was not dry, and I stood by the stream and waited for the mountain wind to blow.

The wind is blowing. It's too cold though!

I couldn't help but wince in the wind.

Footsteps sounded behind him. The boy came down from the hillside silently, and when he saw this, he immediately took a handkerchief from his bosom and gave it to me.

He took a few steps and blocked the direction in which the northwest wind was blowing, I don't know if it was by chance or on purpose.

I squinted at the handkerchief he handed me and muttered for a moment.

Even if this guy is wearing such an ordinary robe, he will still see this person's inner attention from the details of his work.

You can see it with a handkerchief, the eldest young master is the eldest young master after all!

I sighed. Anyway, he had good intentions.

I took the fine handkerchief from his hand and wiped it, and along the way, wiped my dagger as well.

Thinking about the wet handkerchief, it doesn't seem good to return it to him directly. It is best to return it to others after washing and drying.

But I took it and I thought I was nothing, and this person would not be even more because of my unintentional actions

After thinking about it, I was hesitating, but the young man reached out and took the initiative to retrieve it!

I was relieved that he had solved the problem for me.

My expression fell on the boy's eyes, and his face sank.

I pretended to turn a blind eye, and calmly put away the self-defense tool that I had followed to the Northlands.

Next to the stream, I looked at him and said calmly: "I heard that there is a martial doctor in Nanhua Town, and he is still the best doctor in the town." "But I don't know that person, I've never seen it."

I paused, and continued, "This is the first time I've been to Nanhua Town, I've never been here before, and I haven't had the opportunity to meet the people in the town. ”

"By the way, how did you hear about it?"

I'm still curious.

"I heard it in the teahouse in town."

The boy said in a deep voice, looking away a little uncomfortably.

The next second, I was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted.

"You're the one who followed me in the market?" My face changed in an instant.

Otherwise, how could he have heard the conversation between me and the aunt who used to live in the same alley with the Wu family and mistook me for Wu Lin, the son of the Wu family?

At that time, he was already in the teahouse?

Where is he, and how come I didn't notice him from the people around me?

Nani? I'm so slow!!

Since I left Yunchu, I have done too little homework, and I suddenly realized that my observation skills have regressed a lot.

I quickly recalled in my mind what had happened at the North Market in Nanhua Town, including a few places where I had stayed.

In addition to these, there was the strange sight I felt in the small town teahouse and the fur stalls.

I also thought about the strange people I had met in that narrow alley.

The first two seem to have something to do with him, but the person in the narrow alley is definitely not a tsundere boy, and I am very close to that person, which is equivalent to passing by.

It was not getting late, and I could see clearly that the man was not the one in front of me.

For no reason, another suspicion rose in my heart, could it be that I was not the only one who was following me and staring at my actions in Nanhua Town?

So, why?!

In a short period of time, I thought about a lot of things. There was more confusion in my heart.

"When are you in town?" I calmed down my emotions for a while, thought about it and asked him in a serious tone.

I would like to know when he will come, so that I can make a judgment on some details.

"In about the same amount of time as you." The boy's gaze fell on my face again. "Xiaoling, why did the people of Nanhua Town mistake you for you?"

"Who knew they looked alike." I pursed my lips and replied to him without thinking.

"That's why you put it on your face," the boy took a step closer to me, and suddenly reached out to touch my cheek.

I was startled, and immediately spread it to the side, looked at him a little annoyed, and said, "Yes!" In order for them to recognize it, I ordered a few moles. I also put more potion on my face. ”

What the hell is he asking for to prove, and he is still doing it!

In other words, he doesn't block his face now. But haven't I never seen him before?

That's it, just explain a few words to him!

Now they all get into his carriage, at least before they reach the Northlands, or before they find a caravan on the road. Don't make the atmosphere so stiff. Everyone is uncomfortable.

In the mountain breeze, facing the rising sun, I looked at him and there was a moment of silence.

Then, I distanced myself a little from him, and as I approached the bluestone beside the stream, I leaned down to look at the herb hanging on the stone.

That's right! It's on Dr. Wu's Codex, I'm pretty sure.

My thoughts flashed back, and I said to the boy, "Leave Nanhua Town." I'm going to negotiate the price with the caravan people, and there are quite a few residents of the town who go to the Northland. “

I stopped talking. Staring at the young man, he secretly said in his heart that the guy didn't know what was painted on his face?

Just like the curiosity I felt when I saw Wu Yu in the mountain temple, I had the urge to ask about it.

But thinking of his previous performance, even my money bag is in his hands, who knows if the eldest young master will throw it away when he is angry?

Well, I dismissed the idea of asking for the time being.

There was silence all around, except for the sound of the mountain wind and the stream flowing.

I turned my head to look at the mountains and forests in the distance, and then withdrew my gaze and explained to him, "I'm afraid that if I run into a neighbor of the martial arts family who lives in the same place, I can't tell you clearly." ”

Actually, I could have made a random excuse to explain to him, but I still didn't intend to lie to him.

Besides, it takes time to think of the reason, so it is easier to simply pick out the truth and say it directly.

When I was in the capital of Sealand, I once lost my temper because my black-bellied brother gave me a mole when he was changing my face.

Who knew that one day, I would take the initiative to use this trick, in order to hide my true face

As soon as the sky was dawning, there was a figure in Tsing Yi on the street of Nanhua Town carrying a burden and flashing out of the small alley.

He stopped at the mouth of the alley and looked at the pedestrians passing by.

It's still early in the morning, and there are very few people coming and going in the town.

After a short pause, the man in Tsing Yi pondered for a few seconds, and then walked along the long street towards the southeast of the town.

His expression was a little different from the unserious look of the townspeople when they saw him in the past, as if he was preoccupied and had important things to do.

The man in Tsing Yi passed by the door of a long-closed shop, and when he saw the dusty threshold of the shop and the painted signboard, his footsteps stopped again.

At that moment, he remembered the situation in his shop five years ago, and he was a little distracted.

At this moment, the owner of a shop on the opposite street not far away came out of the door, saw the appearance of the man in Tsing Yi, and couldn't help but show a disgusted look.

If you give a white eye, it's almost a "bah"!

However, similar to this kind of look, the people in Tsing Yi will see it every day, and they will see it every day, and they have long been accustomed to it.

If it had been before, he might have walked through the street with great interest, and approached the shopkeeper to say a few teasing words.

Maybe he will make a few jokes with the other party, but today, he does have important things to do, and he has no time to chat with others.

The shopkeeper was surprised to see that he had no intention of stopping at all, but walked straight down the long street all the way out of the town, and there was something strange in an instant.

I saw the man coming early in the morning, but it was a little different from usual, and I didn't know what kind of wind it was smoking.

The shopkeeper thought of the doctor with an excellent reputation in the martial family, that is, the younger brother of the Tsing Yi people, and sighed in his heart.

Doctor Wu had been away from town for quite some time, but the townspeople missed him.

Those who should go do not leave, and those who should stay do not stay.

The shopkeeper saw the Tsing Yi people passing by without stopping, standing at the door of his house, with a suspicious look on his face.

He stared at the back of the man in Tsing Yi for a long time, but he didn't see the man turn back from the street.

The direction in which the people in Tsing Yi went seemed to be the place where the caravans in the southeast of the town were concentrated!

This thought flashed through the shopkeeper's heart, and the next moment he heard the shouts of his own lady in the store, and immediately turned his head and walked in.

That little episode was quickly forgotten by him

The man in Tsing Yi walked all the way to the edge of the town, and along the way he received many contemptuous glances on the streets, as well as the townsfolk who occasionally passed by him and couldn't wait to dodge.

On this day, he is different from what everyone saw in the past, in short, it was like a different person.

From the perspective of a bystander, even a stranger can perceive that this person walking down the street has something on his mind.

The corners of the Tsing Yi people's mouths didn't even have a playful look, but they kept walking, and when they arrived at the door of a blacksmith shop near the mountain road in the town, they stopped again.

The man in Tsing Yi weighed the money bag he was carrying, and then walked in.

Shortly after the blacksmith shop opened, the master blacksmith and his apprentices were busy in the simple shacks built along the street.

The shop is not large, but you can see the layout at a glance.

Next to the bellows set up on the west side of the shop, the primary school apprentices are fanning the flames.

He watched the flames in the hearth rise with a serious expression, and the blacksmith beside him was also the owner of the shop, and his eyes looked in his direction from time to time.

The person who came in at the door instantly attracted the attention of the blacksmith master and the apprentice.

When the two of them saw clearly that it was the "famous" one in the town who came in, the blacksmith immediately showed a displeased expression.

Seeing that one, no one in the whole street would be too happy.

The man in Tsing Yi didn't wait for him to open his mouth to drive people, took out the money bag from his arms, counted the number and immediately handed it over: "I'll buy something." ”

The blacksmith's mouth opened wide in astonishment, forgetting his answer.

The sun is coming out in the west, he thought to himself.

Ignoring the blacksmith's expression, the man in Tsing Yi carefully looked at the things in the shop and picked out a short knife from it.

He showed the appearance of a guest who usually came to patronize, and he didn't even say a word.

The man in Tsing Yi held the short knife in his hand and looked at it carefully, then nodded.

Without hesitation, he gave the money he was supposed to pay to the master blacksmith.

The man in Tsing Yi was about to leave with the knife he bought, and this time the blacksmith took the initiative to talk to him for the first time.

"You're going out?"

The blacksmith master glanced at him, and couldn't remember what the name of this person from the martial arts family was, so he simply skipped it and replaced it with the word "you".

"Are you going to Xilanan to find your little brother?"

The master blacksmith hesitated and asked.

The man in Tsing Yi stood at the door, turned to look back at him and said two words simply: "No." ”

After saying that, he had no interest in talking to the blacksmith again, and in an instant, his steps quickened and went out. (To be continued.) )
