Chapter 29: Woe
Yan Wuxing took a step back in fright when he heard this, and arched his hand: "The girl is willing to give me this life-threatening pill, and Fearless is grateful, even if she takes her own life, she will never dare to reveal half a word about the pill." ”
Ah Zi didn't expect him to say that this pill was so serious that "life is at stake", but he didn't think much about it when he thought that he was going to take it to save his family's lives.
Yan Wuxing made another gesture towards Ah Zi, and then hurriedly turned around and left.
In the evening, Liu Siqi came out of the study and asked Yan Wuxing.
"Yan Gongzi left just after noon." Ah Zi replied, not daring to look into Liu Siqi's eyes.
The tea bowl that Liu Siqi picked up stopped in mid-air like that, squinted his eyes at Ah Zi, and asked, "He's gone?" Why did it suddenly leave? ”
"I, I think, Yan Gongzi may have thought of other ways to save their wife, so he rushed back." Ah Zi replied ambiguously, still keeping his head down, not daring to look at Liu Siqi.
A long silence ensued.
Ah Zi stood in the middle of the hall like that, bowing his head and waiting for Liu Siqi's response, like a child who had caused a big disaster.
"What exactly did you do?"
Liu Siqi's voice suddenly came from the front, and his tone was indescribably cold.
Ah Zi's head was already covered with a thin layer of sweat, and her palms were also wet, she still maintained the posture of bowing and saluting, not daring to relax at all, but her heart turned upside down.
Now it seems that Master must have guessed that Yan Wuxing's departure had something to do with him, but the key is how much Master guessed and how much he had to say in order not to touch Master's bottom line as much as possible.
Do you want to tell him that he gave Yan Wuxing some medicine?
Do you want to tell me about giving the pill you made before to Yan Wuxing?
Ah Zi lowered his head, his eyes rolled, and just when he finally decided to hide the pill, he raised his head sharply, but met Liu Siqi's gaze.
It was a pair of eyes that were so thorough that they could see through everything, and they were staring closely in the direction of Ah Zi.
Those eyes are full of words at the moment, except for anger, only disappointment remains.
Ah Zi has followed Liu Siqi for so many years, and she has seen all kinds of joys, sorrows, and sorrows in these eyes: the patient respectful teachings after the short-term surprise revealed by her stupidity when she first started, the way she pretended to be angry but secretly snickered when she saw her occasional troubles, and even the knowing smile when she was inadvertently bumped into silently looking at Ah Zi at some moments......
I thought that under the disciple of this self-esteemed and talented medicine immortal, Ah Zi would be forced to grow up slowly in the beating and scolding. However, to the surprise of Ah Zi and Hui Niang, Liu Siqi has been like a loving father for seven years, teaching people tirelessly. The attitude towards Ah Zi is not only tolerant, but even to the point of spoiling.
Therefore, when he met Liu Siqi's eyes head-on, Ah Zi felt like a piece of his heart had been stripped off.
In such eyes, they were full of disappointment and remorse!
Ah Zi's legs weakened, and she knelt down, tears gushing out uncontrollably.
"Master!" She shouted in a hoarse voice, "It's the fugitive's fault. The apprentice didn't listen to you, and gave Yan Wuxing the pill made from his own demon blood without authorization. I knew that I had made a big mistake, but Yan Gongzi seemed to be eager to save people, and I didn't ...... except for the pill."
Ah Zi still wanted to explain, but saw that Liu Siqi had slowly closed his eyes, and the hand holding the teacup tightened hard, and with a "click", the white porcelain teacup shattered in his hand, and the pale cyan tea splashed in all directions.
"Master......" Ah Zi shouted out in fright, kneeling and wanting to step forward.
Liu Siqi still closed his eyes, stretched out a hand to stop Ah Zi from approaching, and then leaned back on the chair as if he had been drained of all his strength, and said softly: "You go down, go to the study and think about it, without my order, you are not allowed to take half a step." ”
Ah Zi opened his mouth, and wanted to remind Liu Siqi to pay attention to his body, but saw him sitting there quietly with his eyes closed, understanding that he didn't want to look at himself again and listen to his own words more, so he had to retreat silently.
Hui Niang, who had been waiting quietly outside the door since she heard the movement just now, saw Ah Zi come out at this moment and wanted to meet her, but saw Ah Zi shaking her head at herself with red eyes, and then went to the study alone.
Hui Niang looked at the back of Ah Zi leaving, sighed, and entered the hall.
Liu Siqi was still sitting there, still in the same posture as when Ah Zi left, motionless.
Hui Niang stepped forward, crouched down and began to clean up the teacup fragments on the ground.
"Clean up, let's leave before dawn." Liu Siqi's voice came, surprisingly calm.
When Hui Niang heard this, she looked up at him suddenly, and repeated as if she couldn't believe her ears: "Leave? Leaving the Valley of Medicine Immortals? ”
Liu Siqi nodded, as if he didn't see Hui Niang's shock, and said, "Just pick some important things to bring, don't worry about anything else." Be sure to set off before dawn, although Ah Zi's identity has been exposed, but as a fearless person, he will definitely do his best to keep this secret, then the matter will be completely revealed, and it should only be after he rushes back. That way, we should have at least three days. Three days, enough for us to arrive. ”
Liu Siqi's words became more and more vague, but Hui Niang gradually understood what was happening, and the blood on her face began to fade little by little, until finally, even breathing was a little difficult to say: "We ...... Where are we going to hide? Is the old lady there? ”
Liu Siqi nodded, unwilling to say another word.
Hui Niang nodded clearly and said, "Ah Zi and my side will take care of the things by me, and the pharmacological and medical things, I'm afraid you still have to do it yourself." ”
"I don't have to do it here," Liu Siqi said indifferently, "There is nothing that must be taken away." Look at what you need there, try to pick the most important ones to take with you, and travel lightly, so that it will not be easy to delay on the road. ”
Hui Niang was shocked again, is there anything more important in this entire Medicine Immortal Valley than the medical books that Mr. has gained from his years of experience? Now that Mr. has even said that he can do without those, what else do he need to sort out?
"I see." Hui Niang understood and said, "I'll go and inform Ah Zi." ”
This time, Liu Siqi finally moved in his seat, turned to look at Hui Niang, and said, "Don't alarm Ah Zi, let her sleep one last night and sleep peacefully, after leaving tomorrow, I will tell her everything on the way." ”
After that, he sighed again and said, "I was too careless before, thinking that by keeping her here, I could protect her." But unexpectedly, it was because of her ignorance that this disaster was triggered. ”
