16. Weirdos
"Hey. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
She looked to her side in a daze, when she heard a sigh of slight gasp. The old man in front stopped where he was, and began to stagger backwards, as if he had lost his breath because he had walked too long and fast.
At this time, they were passing by a small courtyard, next to which were stone tables and chairs for people to rest.
"Are you alright, old man?" Zhongli let go of the knife in his hand, hurriedly stepped forward, and helped the old man to sit at the stone table beside him.
After the old man calmed down, Zhongli turned his gaze to the quiet surroundings, strange that in this huge Medicine King's Mansion, in the blue sky and daylight, no one else had appeared along the way.
Qu Yiying also felt unusual, but when she saw that the old man's original sallow face had turned pale, she still cared and said, "Zhongli, why don't we rest for a while." ”
"The master is in front...... "The old man who was being held suddenly panted and trembled, stretched out his hand and pointed to a path on the right.
At the end of the road, there is an old round door, although the door panel is blue and black mottled, but under the projection of the sun's shadow, there is a kind of deep flowers and trees in the meditation room, and the distant tranquility of the mountain light and birds.
Qu Yiying took a few steps forward, wanting to take a closer look, and suddenly found that from the hidden door, there was a faint sound of gurgling water.
"Ahem...... Cough...... The master was waiting for Miss Laneige in front...... "The old man touched his chest with his hand, coughed, and spoke more fluently, but his face was still not very good.
Qu Yiying said to Zhong Li with some concern, "It's better for you to take care of him here, I'll go first, it's inside anyway." ”
"Madam, in case ......" Zhongli wanted to go with him, but after thinking about it, he said, "If Madame hasn't come out for a long time, my subordinates will go in to find Madame." ”
Qu Yiying nodded, and walked forward.
The further she went, the more she could hear the faint sound of running water, and she wondered in her heart, could it be like a bamboo house, building an artificial stream?
Gently, the door was pushed open.
For a moment, surprise appeared in her eyes, for it was not a house, but a clearing paved with small stones.
At the edge of the clearing, there is a natural river that meanders and flows, clear to the bottom, nourishing the white daffodils that are forested by the river, and from a distance, it seems to be a soft gem in the sun, clean, pure, and white.
This paradise-like scenery is like being separated from the mundane by the old courtyard gate.
Qu Yiying continued to move forward, looking greedily and curiously.
She sighed in her heart, it was really a good place for self-cultivation, comparable to a bamboo house.
"You've kept me waiting long enough......"
A slight reproach sounded, and Qu Yiying's thoughts were pulled back suddenly. She followed the sound and saw a man crouching next to a colchicum plant, leaning sideways, looking intently at the flowers and plants.
He's Wu Zuo, right?
With three points of curiosity and seven points of doubt, Qu Yiying walked forward, she secretly wondered, what kind of medicine king is really as Zhong Li said, it is a little weird, obviously he was injured so badly last night, but today he seems to have nothing to do at all.
About twenty paces away from the man, Qu Yiying stopped and looked carefully at the shore.
The man squatted there, his head buried, his black hair like ink, and he was evacuated but not messy. From Qu Yiying's line of sight, he could only see his upright jade nose and the corners of his mouth with a slightly feminine arc.
Suddenly, he raised his face slightly, revealing the clear natural contours, and a white face as delicate as snow, and he turned to look, a pair of eyes soft as water, like ripples in the lake under the quiet snow-capped mountains.
Qu Yiying looked at it in amazement, and in a trance she thought that there was a distant mountain in front of her, and the snowflakes were fluttering, slowly dripping into the depths of people's hearts.
He walked towards her with steps, and the crescent-colored brocade on his body stretched out with his movements, as if it was the elegant bright moon on the horizon, high above, and could only be seen from afar.
The man in front of him didn't look like the man from last night, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Qu Yiying was worried about the matter of Yinghe, so he didn't think about it, and took a few steps forward and said, "Young Master Wu, if you still remember that I saved your life last night, I hope Gongzi can give me the antidote." What's more, as a world-famous doctor, Childe must understand the meaning of the word benevolence, and he will not joke with other people's lives at will......"
At this moment, there was a sudden clattering sound from behind, as if a wooden instrument had been dropped.
Qu Yiying looked back in some surprise, and saw that on the ground not far away, a brown wooden plate was sunk into the soft small stone, and there were several big red pear-shaped porcelain vases overturned on the side.
A red-faced man was crouching on the ground, picking up what had fallen in a panic.
"Is that the antidote?" Qu Yiying's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Wu Zuo.
Hearing the question, he didn't answer immediately, but stared at her thoughtfully, and there was confusion in the calm and peaceful expression on that handsome face, as if her words made him feel a little caught off guard.
Qu Yiying saw his expression, thinking that he had guessed correctly, so he smiled and said softly, "It seems that after what happened last night, Wu Gongzi has changed his plan." ”
At this time, the man behind him packed up the fallen bottle and walked over, he walked limping, and seemed to have inconvenient legs.
"Of all that, which one is it?" Qu Yiying stepped forward a little impatiently, stopped the man, and stared intently at the antidote in the wooden plate.
Wu Zuo came to her side, stretched out his slender fingers like bamboo shoots, picked up the smallest bottle among them, and slowly handed it to her.
Seeing this, Qu Yiying smiled like a flower, she didn't expect things to go so smoothly, she turned her head to stare at Wu Zuo, and said gently and sincerely, "Thank you, I ......"
But he didn't wait for her to finish, he turned at once and walked towards the edge of the riverbank.
Qu Yiying's eyes showed surprise, staring at his back suspiciously, and was about to ask him what was wrong, when he heard his rather cold voice sound, "You go, this matter is over." ”
Hearing this, she stood in place a little stunned, and suddenly felt inexplicable.
She clenched the bottle in her hand, turned around and walked back, while walking, she complained in her heart, obviously she broke into the bamboo house at night last night, loved her like crazy, poisoned people and wanted to see her, but she came here today, but she was so indifferent to her.
This person is really weird and abnormal.
Speeding up her pace, Qu Yiying came to the wooden door, the more she thought about it, the more angry she felt, she swore indignantly that even if she begged her to come in the future, she would never step here again.
Without looking back, she left the peachy world without any regrets.
And the lame man, who she didn't even see clearly, was behind the door, staring at her stupidly.
After a while, he buried his head, smiled bitterly, turned again, and slowly walked to the quiet shore. The river that flows eastward day after day is still as clear and peaceful as before in the crystal sunshine.
"Your Majesty, Laneige ...... today" He had mixed feelings in his heart.
The man known as the emperor was long and jade, and when he turned around, his gentle and handsome face was full of solemnity, "Doctor Wu didn't see it, this Laneige, not only can't recognize Lone, but also mistakes Lone for you?" ”
Wu Zuo was silent, last night he felt that Laneige's behavior did not match what he remembered, but he really didn't expect that she would mistake Chu Ze, who had a marriage contract with him, for himself.
At this time, only the sound of gurgling water is left around the quiet surroundings.
Chu Ze cast his gaze into the distance, and said in a calm tone, "This matter...... can be big or small, now we can only wait and see what happens, not to mention, Lone did not completely let her go, if she is really so kind-hearted, she will definitely come to your medicine king's mansion again the day after tomorrow. ‘’
