Ah Zi walked briskly, holding the hot baked cake in his hand, and took a bite with satisfaction.

However, as soon as the baked cake entered his mouth, Ah Zi was stunned, only to feel like a fish in his throat, and his back was cold.

It's as if there's a pair of eyes staring at her behind her back!

She slowed down, then jerked back, but saw nothing unusual about the bustling crowd of passers-by on the street.

Could it be that I am too careful?

No, my intuition has always been very accurate, especially the feeling of being watched in the dark just now is so real.

Someone must be secretly following him.

But why would anyone stalk you? And who would be interested in an ordinary little girl like her? Now that Ah Zi no longer has Yao Wu's pupils, except for the occasional surprise from some passers-by, it will not cause other commotions, so who would hide in the dark and pay attention to himself like this?

Or, the target of the person who came is not himself at all?

Could it be Master?

Thinking of this, Ah Zi's fists tightened, and the whole person became inexplicably angry.

Did you accidentally expose your Master's identity when you went out some time ago? If this is the case, then his own sin is great, Ah Zi heard Hui Niang talk about the terrible behavior of some crazy patients, if it is really the hermitage of the medical immortal is discovered, it may force the master to move.

But the person hiding in the shadows was just staring at himself at this time, and did not take any further action, that is, the other party should not know about the Medicine Immortal Valley yet.

Then the matter has not yet reached the point of no return.

Ah Zi secretly made up her mind, quickened her pace and walked out of the city gate, and went up to the river mountain, only this time, she did not walk towards the cliff at the entrance of the Medicine Immortal Valley, but turned a few corners and went around to a remote wood.

Don't dare to say anything else, Ah Zi is still very confident in his ability to climb mountains and mountains. Since she was a child, she has been much lighter than normal people, and no matter how steep the cliffs are, she is like walking on the ground, which even the master who is also vigorous and has been collecting medicine in the mountains all year round sighs to herself.

Now she has entered the chassis where Ah Zi grew up, and the road here is so familiar to her that she can walk out with her eyes closed, but for newcomers, those intertwined old trees and overgrown mountain paths are like a maze, and one will get lost in this barren mountain range if you are not careful.

Sure enough, as Ah Zi expected, after shuttling between the woods for a while, she successfully shook off the shadow that followed behind her.

After making sure that no one was following him, Ah Zi let out a long sigh of relief and turned his head towards the Medicine Immortal Valley.

After going back, Ah Zi didn't tell Master and Hui Niang about this episode, firstly, for fear that they would worry about their safety and reduce the number of times she would enter the city in the future, and secondly, she felt that as an apprentice of the medical immortal, she would have to take on the heavy responsibility of negotiating with the outside world in the future.

At night, Ah Zi fell asleep deeply, and in a daze in his dream, he returned to the mountain forest in the evening.

She ran desperately, trying to get rid of the shadow behind her, but she only felt that her legs seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she was already tired and sweating profusely before she had walked far.

There was a clearer and clearer wheezing sound behind him, and Ah Zi looked behind him in horror as he ran, but he tripped over the vines under his feet and fell forward.

Ah Zi stretched out her hands to support the ground, but found that there was a pair of huge feet in her hand, and the hairs on the feet stood straight on end, glowing, so frightened that she raised her hand suddenly, her body lost support, and she slid down.

Ah Zi shuddered and woke up.

It turned out to be a dream......

Ah Zi wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, simply approved her clothes, got up and poured a cup of tea.

She didn't light the lamp, but the moonlight shone obliquely through the window, and the whole room seemed to be covered with a layer of hoarfrost.

Ah Zi was suddenly attracted by the chain on his chest.

It was the chain that Ah Brown left for her before she left, and she wore it on her body all the time for so many years, and she was always with her on the nights when she felt the loneliest.

This has already become a part of the chain of her body, but at this time it is a little strange.

In the light of the moonlight, the chain seemed to begin to glow faintly silvery light.

Ah Zi frowned, picked up the round pendant on the chain, and came to the window, wanting to see it more realistically.

At this time, a burst of angry scolding came into Ah Zi's ears from the window.

The voice came from the backyard, and because it was far away, it was impossible to hear the content of the speech, but Ah Zi could be sure that the owner of the voice was her master.

It's so late, what is the master doing in the backyard, listening to the voice as if he is in a bad mood, it can't be that Hui Niang has done something to make the master unhappy, right?

Ah Zi simply changed her clothes and went to the backyard.

However, when he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Ah Zi was forced to stop.

Judging from the voice, the person who spoke to the master was clearly a man.

At this time, who is visiting? With Master's temperament, he should have kicked him out and asked him to come back during the day the next day, why did he receive this person in the backyard.

Ah Zi unconsciously took two more steps forward, and hid behind a pillar nearby to eavesdrop.

"As I said, your wife's illness is a serious disease, which has already spread to the whole body, even if it can be delayed for a while, it will not be delayed for a lifetime. Even if you take my medicine to renew her life now, it will only increase her pain, why can't you let her survive the last days and walk more comfortably? ”

It was Master's voice, and there was obvious impatience in his tone.

"We all understand what you said, and my wife has already planned to go, so I will come to you alone, because I am afraid that there will be many people and mixed mouths, and it will reach my wife's mouth." Another man's voice came.

"In that case, you should follow your wife's instructions and let her walk decently." Liu Siqi replied coldly.

"We don't understand these truths, but the wife is still so young, and the little master is still not sensible, we really can't bear to see him parting with his mother at such a young age." The man said, his words earnest, "I know that it is my recklessness to come to you again and again like this, and I am not qualified to ask you for anything. But please also understand our hardships as courtiers. The old man's heirs are thin, and he finally has a little young master, how can he bear to watch him lose his mother's upbringing since he was a child. I don't dare to ask you to work hard for our wife's illness, I just ask you to help her survive these years, and when the young master becomes an adult, his wife will no longer have to worry about it, and she will be more at ease. ”
