Chapter 233: The Shopkeeper Who Never Appears
Xia Yejin's scalp was numb, and she broke out in a cold sweat. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info thought to himself, what are you afraid of, this is the middle of the night, could it be that he really entered the thief?
was gritting his teeth and not knowing how to respond, but a familiar voice sounded behind him, "Eh, I said, Ah Jin, what are you doing when you don't sleep in the middle of the night?" Isn't it going to be sick again? ”
It's the voice of the king.
Xia Ye Jinxin said that you just got sick, your whole family was sick, and I don't know who ran out in the middle of the night, "Didn't I ask you this sentence?" Her face was full of anger, "I was almost scared to death by you!" ”
"Didn't I hear a movement in the yard......"
"Did you hear that, too?"
The other party scratched his head, "Yes, but I didn't expect it to be you." ”
Xia Yejin glared back with a blank eye, "What do you mean by me, I also heard movement in the yard before I came out, okay?" ”
Then he thought of something and lowered his voice and asked, "You are often thieves?" ”
"How can it, the people of Bianliang are simple and simple, they don't close their doors at night, and they don't leave ...... behind," Wang Bad said as he walked to the front to check the latch of the gate, and then made a gesture to pull it again, and only after confirming that the latch was tightened did he walk under the eaves again.
"And what was it just now?" Xia Yejin looked confused and doubtful of his words.
"It's windy at night, I heard you wrong."
“……”
On the second day.
The wind was still strong, Xia Yejin sat under the eaves, holding her cheeks, looking at the blue sky, the few wisps of winter clouds that had not had time to blow away.
I didn't sleep well last night, the dark circles on my face were scary, the legendary shopkeeper still didn't come back, the days were as plain as water, the Song Dynasty was too prosperous and rich in the economic environment, it seems that the people living in it have slowed down, people are slow, cars and horses are slow, bustling, but they don't lose their demeanor, as if they are not in a hurry, there is a lot of time, and the coming days are long.
The shopkeeper's house is in the east of the inner courtyard, and after approaching, I found that there was a separate courtyard door, and it was a small courtyard courtyard that entered it, and the courtyard was planted with loquat and honey locust, and it was cold in winter, and the branches were already bare and empty, and the winter plum in the corner of the wall was growing very well, and the clusters of pink and white flowers on the branches were like the new sideburns of the big girl, and the clean courtyard was more angry out of thin air.
Wang Bad led Xia Yejin into the northeast wing, and after explaining the precautions in detail, he went to the shop in front of him to work.
"The shopkeeper will come back in a few days, this house has not been inhabited for a long time and I am afraid that it will fall into dust, so you can come and clean it regularly every day in the future......"
After Wang Bad finished speaking, he took the door and left, but Xia Yejin stayed alone in the house but felt that something was wrong.
Later, after a closer look, I understood the reason.
No wonder Wang Bad wanted her to come and clean it, this house was white and clean, and it was so clean that it almost didn't look like anyone had lived in it. But there was a painting on the square table of Nanmu, and the ink had dried - it seemed that it had been left for a long time. She couldn't contain the curiosity in her heart, moved the paperweight away, and picked up the writing to look at it.
"Everything that is done is the law, and it should be done as such."
Xia Yejin knows very little about the scriptures, but the source of these words is clear, if she remembers correctly, these ten words should be from the Diamond Sutra, and she thought in her heart, is this shopkeeper still a Buddha?
It's a pity that the handwriting on the rice paper is not very good, it seems to be in a hurry, and the handwriting is even a little sloppy, but in the ink, there is a bit of sword energy, a little madness, and a bit of comfort and handsomeness, several contradictions overlap together, and for a while, Xia Yejin also didn't understand what kind of character this shopkeeper was.
She put the pen in the pen wash and brushed it clean, and poured out the ink-soaked water, the room was already extremely clean, and all she had to do was take a feather duster and sweep away the dust that had occasionally fallen.
was bored thinking about what the task that Gong Chen asked her to come to this time, when she heard the noise in the front yard, and it happened that the house was almost cleaned up, Xia Yejin ran out to take a look, but saw an elderly woman with a nervous face and asked the shopkeeper where was the shopkeeper?
After Wang Bad explained that the shopkeeper would come back a few days later, the other party's wrinkled face looked even more furrowed, "Xiao Suzi is hot all over his body and doesn't eat anything, I still want the shopkeeper to go over and see, how is it good if the shopkeeper is not there?" ”
After hearing the meaning clearly, Wang Bad seemed to be relieved, and he smiled, "Don't worry about this, just let Ah Si go, Ah Si's medical skills are also okay." ”
When Ah Si walked out of the door with the old woman, Xia Yejin turned around and asked Wang Bad, "Is our shop really treating people?" ”
"Not really!" The other party looked proud, "The shopkeeper's medical skills are even better than Lang Zhong on the street." ”
"Then you also know how to heal?"
The other party was even more proud, "Of course." ”
Xia Yejin was shocked, judging from the few days she has been here, it is obvious that the business of helping people see a doctor is better than selling jade antiques, since they all know medical skills, wouldn't it be better to open a pharmacy directly to make money?
She was really getting more and more curious about the shopkeeper.
Half a month has passed, and the days are still very peaceful.
It's just that at night, there will still be a little movement from time to time, Xia Yejin felt strange, at first she was so noisy that she couldn't sleep peacefully almost every night, but later, after relaxing, she gradually got used to the inexplicable sound.
There's just one thing you can't get used to.
Tsing Yi Lane, where the jade shop is located, has seen babies with fever and unconscious one after another, and the situation is getting worse.
This sick student is inexplicable, please Lang Zhong is not good, everyone came to the shop to ask for help, the shopkeeper is not there, busy A four, the feet do not touch the ground, the front foot just cured one, the back foot of another family came to the door again.
It's a pity that the medical skills of Ah Si are also limited, and they can only temporarily use medicine to help the baby continue his life, but it cannot be cured, and the children's condition is still getting worse day by day.
On this day, Xia Yejin had just come out of the backyard when he heard a commotion coming from in front of him, and it sounded like Wang Bad was arguing with someone. After getting along for more than half a month, although the shopkeeper never appeared, Xia Yejin and the three guys in the shop were already acquainted, and when they heard that someone was coming to find fault, they immediately rushed over to help.
As soon as I walked to the door, I heard someone persuading, "Okay, okay, isn't it just a charlatan?" What's the truth about going with him, we have lived here for so many years, if there are really monsters in this Tsing Yi Alley, wouldn't we know? ”
"How can this be true! You turn your fate into fate, run to our door and say that there are monsters, and give those children what messy things to eat, in case of death, can you afford to pay for it?! - "Wang Bad seems to be very angry, and it is useless to persuade others, so he still points at that person and scolds.
"Believe it or not." The person who was pointed at his nose and scolded finally raised his head, "But if I guessed correctly, the children here don't seem to be very safe lately......"
The tone is lazy and hanging.
Xia Yejin, who was rolling up his sleeves next to him and wanted to fight, made an "ah" sound when he saw the other party's face clearly, and almost fell directly to the ground.
