Chapter 23: Acquaintance
In Lixin City, Ah Zi said goodbye to Xiaohao and rushed out of the city.
Helplessly, the small vendors along the way were selling all kinds of small ornaments, Ah Zi looked at it, and unconsciously slowed down.
Eventually, she stopped by a small bookstall.
Just look at it twice, and it won't take much time.
Thinking so, Ah Zi began to casually flip through the few books in his hand.
After flipping through a few books and not being interested, Ah Zi was a little discouraged, turned around and was about to leave, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a book that was stuffed in the innermost seat.
It was a thread-bound book about two fingers thick, and the title of the book was "The Doctor's Codex."
I didn't expect that such a roadside stall would have medical books for sale, Ah Zi thought, couldn't help but look at it twice, and was startled by the author who was noted.
Under the title of the book, the words "Zhen Yachen" are printed.
I heard the master mention that this Zhen Yachen was originally the imperial doctor in the palace, and then resigned and returned to his hometown to devote himself to the study of medical skills.
The master only brought it over in a few words at that time, but Ah Zi knew very well that the one who could be remembered by the medical immortal who was the best in the medical world would definitely not be an ordinary person.
Ah Zi thought about it, and reached out to take the "Medical Codex", but as soon as his hand touched the page, he saw that the other corner of the book was pinched by several slender fingers.
Ah Zi looked up and saw a man of her age standing there, looking at her with the same surprised eyes.
For a while, the two of them were holding the same book, standing opposite each other, and they were both stunned.
When the man saw Ah Zi, he was shocked and thought: "I thought that Bao'er was already a rare beauty in this world, but I didn't expect that in this remote Lixin City, you can still see such a gorgeous woman." ”
And Ah Zi was also shocked, thinking: "This man, dressed in a plain robe, has his hair neatly combed back of his head...... It's like I've seen it somewhere...... Zuo Qiyang! ”
Ah Zi immediately knew that he might be a person from the Six Doors, and as soon as his heart sank, he wanted to escape, but after thinking about it, he was just showing himself as an ordinary person now, and he didn't do anything to be a traitor, so why should he be weak-hearted.
Thinking of this, Ah Zi straightened his chest and smiled kindly at the man.
When the man saw Ah Zi's smile like a flower, he was even more fascinated.
This made the vendor who had been standing behind the bookstall stand deadlocked, watching the two of them pinching the same book like this, and they didn't say a word for a long time, not knowing whether to buy this book or not.
After waiting for a long time, the peddler couldn't help it, and asked timidly with a smile: "This master, this young lady, dare to ask the two of you whether you want to buy this book or not?" ”
Hearing the peddler speak, the man opposite came back to his senses first, let go of his hand, and said, "I thought I could see my master's book here, and I was very curious to read it. Since the girl is interested, I will give it to you. ”
Ah Zi picked up the book with a smile, looked at the man again and asked, "Zhen Yachen is your master?" ”
The man smiled a little suspiciously, and said, "I've only learned from his old man for a day or two, but I'm only a little learned, and now these medical and pharmacological sciences are only scratching the surface." ”
Ah Zi was no longer polite to him, asked the vendor, paid the money, and put away the medical book.
At this moment, a bell rang from the city gate, signaling that the city gate was about to close.
Ah Zi secretly screamed badly, and while saying, "There will be a period later", he ran towards the city gate with his legs.
The man shouted behind her: "In the lower Tang Yinzhong, I don't know the girl's ......"
However, halfway through the words, Ah Zi had already disappeared like a rabbit.
Tang Yinzhong shook his head helplessly, secretly said that it was a pity, and also turned to leave.
Ah Zi hurried back, and when he arrived at the Medicine Immortal Valley, it was already dark.
She tiptoed into the main courtyard, afraid that the master would find out that she had not returned on time and blame her.
"What to do? Sneaky? ”
Hui Niang's voice came from her ears, and Ah Zi still probed her head and asked, "Is Master here?" ”
"Mr. has been playing the qin in the Qinxin Pavilion." Hui Niang replied.
Ah Zi breathed a long sigh of relief, came back to his senses, and said strangely: "Has Master been playing the piano over there since I left?" ”
Hui Niang nodded, unable to hide her worry.
Ah Zi knew that every time the master was in a bad mood, he would go to the "Qinxin Pavilion" to play the qin, and this time there must be something to worry about.
"I'll take a look." Ah Zi said and went to the backyard.
"Don't worry, don't anger your master." Hui Niang instructed in the back.
Ah Zi responded, and didn't look back.
When he arrived at Qinxin Pavilion, Ah Zi stopped.
Looking at the back of the pavilion sitting under the pavilion in the middle of the lake and surrounded by mountain smoke, she didn't dare to step forward.
The back looked so lonely, and the sound of the piano from the middle of the lake was indescribably sad.
The undulating sound of the piano, accompanied by the wailing of birds and beasts in the mountains, frightens those who hear it, and tears that make those who listen to it.
Master, what is hidden in his heart, he can't find anyone to tell, so he can only put his sorrows in this mountain and forest, and talk to the birds and beasts?
As the sound of the piano faded, Ah Zi mustered up her courage and stepped onto the corridor leading to the center of the lake.
"Master." Ah Zi called softly.
Liu Siqi turned his head, his eyes flashed with crystal, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.
He beckoned Ah Zi to come over.
Ah Zi sat down beside him and looked at the guqin lying horizontally in front of him.
"Do you know the rhythm?" Liu Siqi asked.
Ah Zi wants to say that she has been studying medicine with her master since she was a child, but of course she doesn't understand this, has the master forgotten? But then I thought about it, these things don't matter, as long as I can talk to the master and help him solve his problems, it is enough.
Ah Zi shook his head and said, "Master, if you have time, can you teach me to play the piano and blow the flute?" ”
Liu Siqi nodded slightly, looked past Ah Zi, and looked into the distance.
"Do you know, my piano was taught by one of your aunts." Liu Siqi said, his eyes were foggy.
"Master's piano sound is already so moving, then the master aunt can teach an apprentice like Master, it must be extremely powerful." Ah Zi said, with a sincere smile in his eyes.
Liu Siqi looked at her and laughed along.
"Yes, she's not just amazing, she's almost in a state of superbness. At that time, the world was not as chaotic as it is now, and your aunt often carried the pire to the cliff to play. When the harp sounded, the birds and finches circled around her, and the wild beasts stopped fighting, and came one after another, snuggled up at her feet, and listened to her play. ”
Ah Zi listened to Liu Siqi's description, and yearned for it, but felt that the picture was a little too beautiful to be true.
"Master, the aunt you are talking about is not like a human, but like a fairy."
Ah Zi joked, but Liu Siqi said with a straight face: "In my heart, the gods are inferior to her by three points." ”
