Chapter 17: Marriage by Fingertips (2)
When the two returned to the inn, there were only a few Shushan disciples in the inn, Feng Li looked left and right and saw that Fu Fei was not in her heart and was a little panicked, she actually wanted him to stay. I don't know why she always feels at ease to have him in www.biquge.info, and this feeling can only be felt when Aunt Fan and Elder Mu are by her side.
Looking at the several disciples who were discussing the matter, she interrupted them and said, "Senior brothers, do you know where my cousin has gone? β
Seeing her expression, one of the disciples replied, "Senior sister, don't worry, Brother Fu said to go around the town and come back later." β
It was only when she heard that he had not gone far that she was at ease. Turning his head, he was about to speak to Bai Qi behind him, but he opened his mouth first: "Senior sister is very attentive to this fiancΓ© who suddenly appeared." I've never heard you mention it before, and I'm so nervous after not seeing you for a while? β
The disciples couldn't help but laugh when they heard Bai Qi say this, and one of the disciples said, "If your fiancΓ© is gone, you naturally have to be nervous, Senior Brother Bai Qi is not asking, beware of Senior Sister Li, you are ashamed." β
Fengli's face flushed, but she didn't know how to explain it, so she just said, "Senior Brother Baiji, can you write the letter and send it out first." Otherwise, I'm always not at ease. β
Bai Qi sighed exaggeratedly, and said pitifully: "My status in Senior Sister Li's heart is not as good as that of Senior Sister Xiaozi, and now even a halfway kill, my fiancΓ© is above me." With that, he shook his head and turned back to his room.
Looking at the background of Bai Qi's departure, Fengli was secretly annoyed in her heart, this person would pretend to be pitiful in front of people, and how much bad she did to her behind her back. Now he is still teasing her with Fu Peng, and he is really angry. If it weren't for Fu Peng's identity being difficult to speak, she would definitely refute his words.
When everyone saw Bai Qi leave, they didn't continue the topic just now. Feng Li stood there awkwardly, and when he didn't know what to do, one of Yaoge's disciples said to Feng Li, "Senior Sister Li, it's a coincidence that you came." Yesterday we learned that someone in this town had a strange disease, and the doctor in the town couldn't cure it, so we decided to come and see it. I thought it wouldn't be too serious, so I didn't notify you and Senior Sister Xiaozi. But today we went to see the patient, and we found that there was something strange about the disease. Since you're here, let's explore it together and maybe find out the problem. β
Feng Li swept away the anger just now and instantly became interested, since the mountain has been beaten down, if you meet someone who asks for medical advice, it is usually the two senior brothers of the medicine grid who come forward, she and Xiao Zi can only fight, and there is no chance to contact the patient at all, although it is a little regrettable, but after all, they are senior brothers, and she does not dare to exceed the rules in such a seniority. I don't want to be able to treat incurable diseases with them today, Fengli is really a little excited.
But excitement is excitement, several senior brothers have heavy faces, and she can't seem too happy. Coughing lightly, she asked, "May I ask what the senior brother is up to?" What are the symptoms of the patients? β
The senior brother who spoke pointed to the stool in front of the table and said, "You sit down first, and we'll talk to you slowly." β
It is said that half a month ago, there was a merchant in Jiujiang City who specialized in the flower and herb business, and he got a few flower seedlings out of nowhere. Grow in pots. It is very peculiar, not to mention the color of each petal of the flower that grows quickly, and the fragrance is incomparably fragrant, one plant is enough to fill the room with a faint fragrance, and the flower will be sold out as soon as it grows. Because of the scarcity of these flowers, except for the one that the merchant kept himself, the rest were sold to several wealthy families in Shangjiang City.
When you get flowers, you naturally want to show them in front of people, and those who don't get them also want to see the true face of this strange flower. So the families discussed it and decided to hold a flower-viewing feast. The number of forests in this city is the richest, Lord Lin loves some flowers and plants rockery stone forest, there is a hundred fragrance garden that gathers all kinds of exotic flowers and plants in his house, and this flower appreciation banquet is also set to be held here.
The feast is a good feast, but it is not something that anyone can attend. In addition to the wealthy and powerful, there are more famous local talents, who appreciate the flowers and chant poems to have a vassal elegance, that is, they have won an elegant name after appreciating the flowers.
But not long after the banquet was dispersed, the people who attended the banquet fell ill one after another. The most sick is the owner of these flowers, and next, what is Zhang Gongzi and Li Xiucai. The doctors in the small town suddenly became a hot commodity again, and after reading this one, I saw which one. In the end, the doctors in the city always thought that there was no cure for this disease.
"Why can't it be cured?" Feng Li asked strangely, what kind of diseases in this world can't even be diagnosed and treated.
The disciple said, "At first, we were also very confused, but we had to look, smell, ask, and cut all kinds of medical diseases. Even if it is an incurable disease, it should be used to prolong life with medicine first, and the principal should be preserved first. But I have never seen that there is no medicine in the end. β
She nodded in agreement, "Then after the senior brothers' diagnosis, what is the conclusion?" β
Several disciples looked at each other, and one of them answered, "The pulse is steady, the breath is smooth and powerful, it doesn't seem to be poisoned, and there is no other external force erosion." It's just that lethargy can't wake up anyway. There is really no cure for such a strange disease. β
Feng Li sighed in his heart when he heard the symptoms. She seems to have seen this symptom somewhere.
At this time, Bai Qi had already handed over the written letter to Uncle Chen, and when he walked up to everyone, he saw Feng Li pondering and was silent, and asked, "Senior Sister Li, if you have any ideas, it's better to say it directly." β
Feng Li hesitated a little, "I'm just listening to the explanations of the senior brothers now, after all, I haven't seen a patient yet, so I'm not sure if this inference is correct." "She's usually very strict in this regard.
Bai Qi laughed and said, "Senior Sister Li has always been well-informed in terms of healing, but now why is she suddenly humble." And whether it's right or wrong, it's always up to everyone to discuss. But it doesn't hurt for you to say it. β
Feng Li glared at him, looked at the two senior brothers of the medicine grid embarrassedly, and said, "I... Belch.. I read a book called "Supernumerary Miscellaneous Prescriptions" before, and there was a kind of Gu mentioned in the article on Gu explanation, and the symptoms after being Gu were the same as what Senior Brother said. Just now, Senior Brother said that they were appreciating flowers and drinking, and according to the characteristics of the flowers you described, it should be the Gu mentioned in the book, and it is called "Nightmare". This flower is no different from ordinary flowers on weekdays, but it can't be drunk. Once they encounter wine, the Gu worms in the flowers will wake up and be inhaled into the body along with the pollen. The person in the Gu fell asleep until... Starve to death. β
The faces of several people changed when they heard this, they had never been exposed to Gu art, and naturally they did not go in any direction. Now that Fengli has mentioned this point, everyone has woken up like a dream. It's just this Gu Solving Technique...... Everyone looked at each other for a while.
Bai Qi was not as at a loss as everyone else, he seemed to have already given a reasonable answer until Feng Lihui, and only said, "Presumably, this book also writes about the art of understanding Gu, I don't know if my senior sister can bring that book?" β
Feng Li shook his head, "I left in a hurry, most of my luggage was still in the villa of the concubine's mansion, and I only carried a few bottles of medicine with me." β
Bai Qi said disapprerovingly, "Even if there is no book, with my sister's dedication to the prescription, I am afraid that I have already written down all the prescriptions in the book, why are you so modest at this time." β
Who would have thought that as soon as these words came out, Bai Qi was immediately met with countless white eyes from Fengli, this Senior Brother Bai Qi is really a good hand at demolishing the stage. She said to him angrily, "The patient has not seen it, the strange flower has not been seen, a few one-sided words have to prescribe medicine, how can it be so hasty to treat the disease and save people." β
Bai Qian was stunned, after so many years of getting along with Fengli, he had never seen her get angry no matter how he teased her in the past. Not only did he say a little aggrieved, "I just asked if you could solve the Gu, and I didn't ask you to solve it right now." "This time it's really wronged.
Fengli also felt that her tone just now was a little too much, and she wanted to apologize, but in front of so many people, she really couldn't pull her face, she just blushed and didn't speak.
When the disciples saw the round, one of the disciples hurriedly answered, "It's okay for Senior Sister Li to see a patient, it's just this flower.... I'm afraid it's a little hard to see. β
"Why is that?" With a shy little face, she sat here and continued to discuss with everyone.
Bai Qi on the side replied for the disciple, "As soon as this incident came out, everyone in every family was a little afraid of the strange flower, and the fire burned down. β
Feng Li didn't dare to look at him at this time, she sat there stunned, lowered her head and thought about it, and asked the senior brother in front of her, "I don't know what happened to the florist?" Doesn't he still have a pot at home? β
The disciple looked at Bai Qi and then at Fengli, and when he saw that neither of them spoke, he finally replied, "At the flower viewing banquet that day, the florist was also invited, and now it is the same as everyone else. He was the only one in his house, but he had a lot of flowers and plants in his house, and we didn't notice if the flower was still there. β
Feng Li stood up suddenly, "In this case, I will go to their house to have a look, in case I am left behind." He walked out of the inn without looking back.
Bai Qi in the inn couldn't help but shake her head secretly, it's too bad, it seems that Senior Sister Li is really angry this time.
Feng Li, who walked out of the inn gate, let out a long sigh of relief. Finally escaped from that awkward place, and if she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she couldn't help but dig a hole in the ground and get into it, why was she so impetuous today. She shook her head, and said in her heart that when there was no one at night, she should go and apologize to Senior Brother Bai Qi. Although she felt that what she had just said was not wrong, her tone was really evil.
She raised her eyes and saw that it was already a little late at this time, and the merchants on the street had begun to clean up their stalls, and the street, which was not very lively due to the impact of the strange disease, was even more deserted at this time. She said that the purpose of looking for the florist was to make excuses for escaping from the inn, and although she came out, she had nowhere else to go, and she couldn't go back immediately after escaping from the inn. So he inquired about the florist's residence and searched all the way.
Although there are several local florists, only one is famous for its exotic flowers, so it is not difficult to find. Fengli followed the guidance of passers-by and walked not too far to find it in the northwest corner of the market.
The gate was closed, and some of the potted plants that had dotted the shop at the door were a little withered, and it was clear that no one had taken care of it for a while. She knocked on the door, waited for a moment and no one answered, knocked again, and still no one answered. She looked left and right and saw that there was another pastry shop open at the intersection, and walked away.
The owner of the shop was also about to close, and when he saw her coming, he thought he was here to buy pastries, and said with a smile: "What kind of pastries does this customer want to buy?" β
Fengli originally just wanted to ask about the situation of the flower merchant, but when he saw the pastry, he remembered that he was going to apologize to Bai Qi at night, and it was always bad to be empty-handed. So he nodded and said, "Boss, you can pick two things for me that are not too sweet." β
The boss laughed, picked up the oil paper on the side and pointed to the snacks in the wooden box to introduce Fengli one by one. When she was almost done, she went to the counter in the house to pack. Fengli asked the florist while he was packing.
The boss sighed and said, "That flower, Lao Xu, used that demon flower, although he made a windfall, but he also harmed the entire town, and now he is not eating the consequences." Since he also fell ill, the servants of the family have run away with valuable things, and only the old servants of the original family are still guarding him. But I only came during the day, and I didn't dare to live in that shop at night, because you wanted to be scared of a living dead lying around. β
After listening to her, she knew why no one answered the door, it seemed that she couldn't enter today, so she had to come again tomorrow during the day with her senior brothers. Fengli took the pastry wrapped by the boss, thanked him and left.
