Chapter 14: Trouble

When I arrived in front of the cabin, I saw Ah Zi lying on the side from a distance, looking at the sieve around him all the time, and what was drying on the sieve was the raw material of "vegetarian poisonous incense".

Hui Niang took a deep breath, only to feel cold at her fingertips.

She closed her eyes and tried to calm herself down.

Ah Zi noticed Hui Niang who rushed over, beckoned to her with a smile, got up and came to her, blinked a pair of bright purple eyes, and said softly: "Hui Niang, are you ready for dinner?" You see, I put those herbs on that stone, which was just the shape and size of the sieve and spotless, I guess it was used to dry those herbs, right? ”

Ah Zi also wanted to ask what the herb was for, why it was so fragrant, and it was pleasant to smell it. But seeing that Hui Niang's face was surprisingly ugly, she couldn't help but ask, and asked instead, "Hui Niang?" Is something wrong? ”

Hui Niang squeezed out a smile at Ah Zi, waved her hand, pulled Ah Zi back to the main courtyard, took out a piece of paper and wrote: "When the sun sets, Mr. will come back, you wait to meet him, just when nothing happened, he asked, you said that you have been cleaning here, and you have never left this yard for a single step." ”

After writing it, he looked at Ah Zi meaningfully, looking like he couldn't refuse.

Ah Zi was confused, she didn't understand why Hui Niang wanted to do this, she obviously went around to the cabin in the back just now, and helped dry the herbs, but now she asked her to pretend that she didn't do anything......

"Hui Niang, is there something wrong with that vanilla? Am I doing something wrong? Ah Zi frowned and asked worriedly.

Hui Niang couldn't bear it, smiled at her softly and shook her head, and pointed to the words on the paper again, as if she just did what she said and didn't say anything else.

After that, without waiting for Ah Zi to say anything, he went straight in the direction of the cabin.

Ah Zi was restless, wanting to get up to see what Hui Niang was doing, but worried that she had done something wrong again, so she could only sit on the stone bench in the middle of the courtyard, pinching the corners of her clothes tightly and waiting.

Hui Niang quickly came to the cabin, looked at the herbs on the sieve, sighed helplessly, took the sieve back to the cabin, and then went around from the backyard to the intersection where Liu Siqi had to go down the mountain, waiting for him to come back.

The sun was setting from the mountain, and the sky was gradually darkening, Liu Siqi walked down slowly with the medicine basket on his back, and when he saw Hui Niang blocking there from a distance, he knew that there was a problem, so he hurriedly accelerated his pace to meet it, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Hui Niang lowered her head and led him to the cabin, took him to see the herbs that had been dried, and then told Liu Siqi in sign language: The herbs were taken out by herself at noon, and she was only concerned about the work at hand, forgetting that Mr. Liu had told him not to remove the spices of "vegetarian poison incense", so she took it to dry.

After finishing speaking, he looked like he was being punished by the gentleman.

Liu Siqi listened, frowned, and didn't speak for a long time.

Hui Niang was even more bottomless in her heart, and admitted her mistakes to Liu Siqi a few times, and repeatedly said that she was willing to be punished.

Liu Siqi waved his hand impatiently and said in a muffled voice: "Okay!" Where's the girl? ”

After hearing this, Hui Niang looked at Liu Siqi with round eyes, half-opened her mouth, and did not answer his question for a long time.

"I ask you, what about Ah Zi?"

Liu Siqi asked again, and he rushed up in anger, and finally simply pushed Hui Niang aside and went to the main courtyard by himself.

Hui Niang hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and repeatedly explained with gestures that it was her fault and had nothing to do with Ah Zi.

Liu Siqi stood there with an indescribably cold gaze.

"Hui Niang, you've been with me for so long, don't you understand my temper? If you continue to persist like this, do you think you can really help her?

"'Vegetarian poisonous incense' can't be exposed to the sun, such a simple truth, how can you not understand, usually you don't dare to connect this wooden house, you now tell me that you forgot for a while and took out this sieve? Do you think I'm stupid? ”

Hui Niang shrank her neck at Liu Siqi's words, lowered her eyes, and didn't dare to make any more moves.

Liu Siqi sighed, turned his head and continued to the main courtyard. Only then did Hui Niang raise her head and follow him silently.

Ah Zi, who had been anxiously waiting in the main courtyard, saw the two coming together, quickly got up and greeted them, knelt in front of Liu Siqi with a plop, and said without raising his head: "Mr. Liu, the herbs in that cabin were taken out by me to dry during the day, but I was too reckless in doing things, and I didn't understand anything but messed with your things, if you do something wrong, you blame me, it has nothing to do with Hui Niang." ”

When Liu Siqi heard her say this, he snorted coldly and said, "You admit that you are quite neat." ”

When Ah Zi heard him say this, he was sure that it was his own trouble with the herbs, so he didn't dare to say anything more, but buried his head lower.

Liu Siqi thought that she would quibble twice, but now seeing that she admitted it so simply, it was hard to say anything, so she just took a deep breath, and then said coldly: "You go to the study and copy my 'herb collection', and if you can't finish copying, you are not allowed to eat." ”

Ah Zi raised his head and looked at Liu Siqi with round eyes, a little unbelieving his ears.

"What's wrong? Do you dare to complain? Liu Siqi looked at her coldly.

Ah Zi hurriedly shook his head, still asking a little incredulously: "You, don't you drive me away?" ”

Liu Siqi frowned when he heard this, sneered twice and said, "What, you want to leave so much?" Okay......"

Ah Zi was so frightened that she quickly interrupted Liu Siqi's words, and confessed her mistake to him again with a sad face.

Liu Siqi sighed in her heart, thinking that this dead girl was quick to admit her mistake, and said: "I said that I would send you out at the end of the month, and I won't break my promise." ”

Ah Zi thanked Liu Siqi gratefully, and then went to the study without delay.

Hui Niang on the side was also dumbfounded, is this still the Liu Siqi she knows, Ah Zi has caused such a big disaster, not only did he not drive her out, but he didn't even say a word of scolding......

But she immediately put away her thoughts, thinking that no matter what, Mr. Liu didn't punish Ah Zi heavily, she was also a lot more relieved, no matter what, it was her own negligence that she agreed to Ah Zi to dry those herbs, it was really weird, and her responsibility was just as heavy.

"Xiao Hao will come over to receive the goods tomorrow." Liu Siqi said, his tone calm.

Hui Niang's heart that she had just put down was lifted again, and what Xiao Hao wanted to get was this "vegetarian poisonous incense".

Although she didn't know who this incense was for, she knew very well that the other party was not small. After all, there are only a few people in the world who can make "medical immortals" deign to make incense for themselves and also stipulate an accurate delivery date.

But now the batch of semi-finished products that Mr. Liu took more than a month to keep, and it seems that they are close to the last step of refinement, but they are destroyed in one fell swoop.

Tomorrow, what will you pay?
