Chapter 57: Dark Tide (2)
"Childe, you're finally back!" Lord Fang was pacing back and forth at the gate of the mansion, his anxious expression was self-evident. Behind him stood the doctors of the Zhao family, who were also worried.
Seeing Xiao Han's gloomy face, Lord Fang secretly shouted in his heart that it was not good, so he leaned up and asked, "Childe, what happened?" ”
Lord Fang saw a trace of tiredness from Xiao Han's cold eyebrows, but in the end, it was soon gone, replaced by the same indifference as always.
"On the way back, I was attacked by a villain." Xiao Han said lightly, as if it was so light that it could be ignored.
Lord Fang was first frightened and then frightened, His Majesty's special envoy was attacked by gangsters in his realm, and this matter is not good to say or he has no way to govern it. Thinking about it again, this ruthless son is also a close minister of His Majesty, if there is really any time when his official position is not guaranteed or not, it is still a matter of saying! And at this, his back couldn't help but get wet.
"Childe, is Childe okay?" Lord Fang lowered his eyebrows, and only raised his eyelids from time to time to observe Xiao Han's expression.
Xiao Han was obviously fine, but he had to know how he was going to deal with this matter and whether it would hurt him.
"I'll kill them all!" A trace of blood flashed on Xiao Han's face, but he instantly returned to calm.
Lord Fang was like being struck by a thunderbolt and asked, "Childe killed him?" ”
Xiao Han's eyes were clear, and he said: "They are plotting against each other, and this son will deal with them one by one!" His tone was like a fluttering feather.
Lord Fang glanced at the Frost Sword that Xiao Han was wearing, and his eyes couldn't help but widen, there was really blood left on the sword. Returning his gaze from the sword to the person, Lord Fang had to look at this envoy again, and suddenly felt that he was like a mystery that constantly surprised and frightened him, or maybe such a cold person should have made a decision to kill. It seems that he really can't provoke him in the future, otherwise he may be in a different place with a sword.
However, he felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to kill people at once, so he asked, "Isn't Childe going to interrogate them, maybe you can know the mastermind?" ”
"Those people who have received special training can't ask," Xiao Han said in a deep voice, "I have my own thoughts on this matter, and adults don't need to be uneasy." ”
The person behind the scenes, Xiao Han guessed that it was him, and this guess was seven points certain, thinking of this, her cold heart was a little colder.
"Childe." Xuanjing Ruxuan and the others rushed to stand behind Xiao Han.
"Childe, what is this?" Lord Fang had also noticed that there was a good-looking man beside Xiao Han before, but he didn't ask who it was because he was too concerned to talk to Xiao Han, and this time two tall men came.
"My guard," Xiao Han explained, "this is Lord Fang. ”
The three of them bowed slightly, and Lord Fang also smiled to show their friendliness.
"I heard that Childe went to pick wild lilies?" After Master Fang and Xiao Han finished speaking, the doctor behind him asked, "Is there a matter of medicine?" ”
Xiao Han frowned, tiredness flashing in his eyes. Twisting his eyebrows, Xiao Han blocked his eyes and said, "It's almost a wild lily." ”
The doctors looked at the back basket full of backs, finally let go of the breath they were carrying, and smiled with relief: "Childe is really an immortal doctor!" ”
"Panyu is saved this time!" Unconsciously, the doctors cried with joy.
Xiao Han lowered his hand, sighed, and said, "I am not completely sure of this medicine, if I take it tomorrow, it will be effective, and if it doesn't work, I will have to think again." ”
Xiao Han didn't want to pour cold water on her, but this is a fact, she must make it clear, otherwise the greater the hope when she pours, the greater the disappointment, and the more a blow when she pours.
Everyone suddenly wilted and asked, "Childe, do you have a big grasp?" The eyes were eager, expecting something.
Half of the certainty, Xiao Han's words changed when they came to his mouth: "It's still big!" ”
Panyu people can't wait, and they can't lose hope!
"We believe in Childe!" Suddenly, Xiao Han was faced with a sincere and simple smile.
Facing a pair of cloudy but shining eyes, Xiao Han couldn't refute it. She lowered her eyebrows, gently avoiding those glances.
"Come back from the night, Childe has worked hard, let's go back and rest first!" Lord Fang smiled and cleared the siege.
Xiao Han nodded in agreement and said, "I'll make the medicine tonight, and I'll see the effect tomorrow!" ”
The doctors smiled and said again that they believed Xiao Han's words before they dispersed.
"Lord Fang." Xiao Han called.
"What's the matter with Childe?"
"Three people have just died, and Yu Yu will take more silver to appease their families later." After all, it is Yuancheng, which is directly under Lord Fang, and she has no official position, so it is better to talk about this matter with Lord Fang.
Lord Fang was taken aback, he didn't expect Xiao Han to say this, so he reacted and said, "Later, Miss Yuyu will report someone up, and the lower officials will also send someone to compensate for something." ”
Xiao Han was noncommittal, which could be regarded as acquiescence.
"Childe, there are still some rooms left in Jinhua Courtyard, do they live in them?" Yu Yu asked when he returned to Jinhua Courtyard.
"You can do it." Xiao Han entered his room.
Looking at the closed door, Yu Yu said in a loud voice: "Childe, you want to sleep." ”
There was no sound to answer, and Yu Yu turned around and smiled embarrassedly at the three of Xuanjing.
Early the next morning, Yu Yu took the water and pushed open Xiao Han's door, and found that she was lying on the table with her clothes and squinting. Putting down the basin, she lightly took a blanket from the bed and gently put it on Xiao Han's shoulder.
As soon as the blanket was covered, Xiao Han opened his eyes.
"Childe, you can sleep for a while, and I'll do the rest!" Looking at Xiao Han's thin and tired face, Yuyu felt distressed. Xiao Han has always been a cold and arrogant person, how can there be such an embarrassing time.
Xiao Han rubbed her eyebrows, and her voice became hoarse and low due to the long day's exertion: "Pound some pills according to this recipe." Xiao Han handed the paper on the table to Yuyu. took a small disc and said, "I did it last night, send it down first, these are definitely not enough, you must also pound the pill quickly." ”
"Childe, you squint, I'll go down and do it." Jade put the paper away.
Xiao Han pinched his eyebrows and squinted and nodded, but his mouth said: "I woke up after washing my face, and I couldn't sleep at ease at this time." ”
Xiao Han was about to persuade, but Liuyu also came in, and suddenly when he heard this, he hurriedly ran over and said, "Childe, you see that your eyes are blue, what a beautiful person you used to be!" ”
Liuyu puffed out his cheeks, and his tone was full of reproach and worry.
Xiao Han stammered, and couldn't help laughing: "Isn't it beautiful now?" ”
Where did Xiao Han use such a ridiculous tone to speak with Liuyu before, he would only blame him for being unstable before! He was stunned at the moment, and only came back to his senses when Yuyu gently bumped him on the shoulder, Fang lowered his head and said shyly: "It's beautiful now." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Han chuckled lightly, this liuyu is really cute.
Liuyu was completely stunned, Xiao Han had always had a cold face, where could he have such a look, let alone smile like this. When he arrived, he was determined to ask Yu Yu clearly what had happened during this period of time that made Xiao Han's temperament change so much. Later, he learned that in fact, Xiao Han's temperament began to change since Jiankang, and after entering the palace, it showed clues, but they didn't notice it, and said that now this change is gradually becoming clearer. Liuyu later suddenly realized, but he still couldn't think of the reason for Xiao Han's change, so he asked Yuxing, but Yuxuan was reluctant to say.
"Okay, let's go, the medicine matters." Xiao Han suppressed his smile and said, "Liuzhen, you can also help." ”
"Yes." Liuyu replied with a grin.
"Then I went out." Yu Yu demanded again, "Childe, don't be stubborn anymore, rest well!" ”
"Yes, Childe should have a good rest!" Liuyu's attitude is also very rigorous, "I'm tired like this, I don't know how to cherish myself at all!" ”
"Good!" Xiao Han just wanted the two of them to do it quickly, so he promised, "I'll squint for an hour or two, and then you can wake me up again?" ”
"Okay." Liuyu replied happily.
Xiao Han finished his words, watching the two of them leave, and he also lay on the bed with his clothes, it was time to rest after being tired for so long.
What is Yu Yi doing, I'm afraid it's not peaceful over there, is he okay? Once his mood relaxed, Xiao Han lay on the bed and squinted, and these questions consciously appeared in his mind.
The corners of her mouth slid into a bright arc, and gradually, Xu was really tired, and she soon fell asleep.
The bright and dazzling sunlight slipped in from the window lattice, Xiao Han raised his tired eyelids, blocked the sunlight with his hands, and then sat up from the bed. Glancing at the sundial outside, it turned out that noon had passed.
Why didn't Jade call me? Xiao Han secretly blamed in her heart, and thought about what the situation was outside, but she was still relieved to do things.
Picking up the water in the basin and washing his face, Xiao Han suddenly felt a lot more sober, and then pulled off the towel to wipe the water droplets on his face.
"Childe, why didn't you call me when you woke up?" The door opened, Yu Yu came in with food, and after putting down the food, she hurriedly came over to freshen up Xiao Han.
"Is the medicine ready?" Xiao Han asked.
"It's ready, and it's also sent to the Zhao family", Yu Yu replied happily, "The doctors over there have said it's good!" ”
Xiao Han thought for a moment and said, "At least wait until the evening to know the effect." ”
"Don't worry, Childe, this time it's right." Yu Yu handed Xiao Han a green salt to rinse his mouth.
After rinsing his mouth, Xiao Han asked casually, "Why didn't you call me early?" ”
"Childe, even Liuyu can see your fatigue, shouldn't you have a good rest?" Yuyu took it for granted.
Xiao Han didn't blame her, so he just revealed it, but joked with her: "If Liuyu knew that you said this, he would not be convinced!" ”
"He doesn't know!" Jade Yu promotes a narrow road.
When Xiao Han revealed a different emotion, Yu Yu was not as surprised as before and said that Xiao Han had changed, because then Xiao Han would return to his indifferent expression, as if he wanted to refute her. I'm afraid Xiao Han didn't feel that he had changed!
"Childe, I'll comb your hair." Yu Yu ripped off the ribbon, and Xiao Han hung down as soon as he saw a waterfall.
Gently combing Xiao Han's hair, Yu Yu said: "I don't know what happened to Yu Gongzi and them, they haven't even written a letter for so long." ”
Xiao Han's eyes froze, she was still thinking about this before going to bed.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen to a scheming person like Yu Gongzi", Xiao Han joked, "Bai Zhi won't have anything wrong." ”
Having said that, Xiao Han was still afraid of what happened.
Listening to what she said, Yu Yu first snorted Xia Fei's cheeks, and shyly snorted two sentences.
It wasn't until she tied the ribbon that she sighed deeply and said, "I hope so!" ”
"Childe, let's eat." Yu Yu changed the subject, and her tone became brisk, "I did it for you." ”
Xiao Han nodded.
Yuyu put the dishes on the table one by one and counted: "Lotus seed and jade dew soup, stir-fried amaranth, salt-baked chicken." It's difficult outside, and I don't think Childe wants to be extravagant and wasteful, so I made three dishes with local materials, which is normal. ”
Xiao Han agreed with her words very much, took the dishes and chopsticks and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”
Yuyu's heart warmed, and he smiled: "I've eaten it." ”
After hastily having lunch, Xiao Han rushed to Zhao's house in the dust.
"Childe is here." The doctor with the medicine bowl was smiling when he saw Xiao Han.
Xiao Han nodded and walked straight inside.
"Celestial."
"Celestial." Walking through a place, there is a place where people say hello to Xiao Han.
Xiao Han nodded his head one by one to show his friendliness.
"Tenjin-sama!" Hearing this, Xiao Qian threw herself at Xiao Han with her arms open.
Xiao Han squatted down, caught Xiao Qian, and asked softly, "Is your mother better?" ”
"It's better, it's better!" Xiao Qian said happily.
Brushing Xiao Qian's messy hair, Xiao Han said, "Wait for me to see your mother." ”
"Okay."
Liuyu was dumbfounded on the side, and Yuyu walked up to him and said, "Is Xiaoqian's temperament the same as yours?" ”
Liuyu turned her head to look at Yu Yu suspiciously, but she smiled, and then walked away with Xiao Han. Left alone, I thought hard and to no avail.
"The pulse is much smoother." Xiao Han checked the woman's pulse and said to the doctor who was observing the side, "If everyone is better in the evening, it means that this medicine is effective, and you can continue to take it tomorrow." ”
The doctor on the side looked at Xiao Han with admiration in his eyes, nodded and said that he would definitely pay attention to the situation here.
The patient was also overjoyed when he heard this, and said with gratitude: "Thanks to the Heavenly God, with the blessing of the Heavenly God, my people in Panyu are deeply blessed. ”
"After we recover from our illness, we will definitely set up a temple for the gods, make a golden body, and light incense." The more I talked, the more excited I became.
Xiao Han laughed and said, "I still have some things to do with Lord Fang, so I left first." ”
The doctors sent Xiao Han to the door and said some words of admiration and praise, Xiao Han saw that they looked serious and sincere, and only the corners of his mouth were twitching.
Back at Fang's Mansion, Xiao Han went straight to Lord Fang and asked, "How is it handled?" ”
"According to Childe's orders, the corpses are all gathered together." Lord Fang hesitated, "It's just that the dead are big, so let's bury them!" ”
Xiao Han shook his head and said, "It's still going to be burned, it's a matter of epidemics, if you bury it, you may have some kind of disease." ”
"However, the people will never agree to cremation", Lord Fang still felt that it was not feasible, but seeing Xiao Han's deep eyebrows, he had to soften his tone and said, "If this is the case, it will be even more difficult for the people to make trouble." ”
Xiao Han also knew that the people couldn't accept the burning of the corpses, but if they were buried, it would be even more difficult to do it once the germs entered the water source and soil.
"If there's a fuss, I'll tell you." Xiao Han said.
Xiao Han said that it was too good for Lord Fang to say anything.
"Can you inform the other counties?" Xiao Han asked again.
"The rest of the counties in Panyu also acted in accordance with this." Lord Fang said one by one, "Miss Fang Cai Yuyu also came over and said that if the medicine is effective, she will bring the prescription tonight, and then the official will send someone to copy some and send it to them." ”
Xiao Han nodded in satisfaction.
"My lord, my lord's wrong!" An errand officer barged in in a panic.
"Panicked, what kind of system!" Master Fang scolded, "Childe is still here!" ”
Being scolded by Master Fang like this, the messenger shrank his head, and Fang said in a soothing tone: "Outside, there is a disturbance outside." ”
"What's going on", Master Fang slapped his palm on the table and shouted, "Don't talk about it quickly", and suddenly felt that Xiao Han was still next to him, so he swallowed his saliva and blamed himself for not being in such a state of affairs.
The officer was frightened and stammered, "That, those, those people say, say, you can't be cremated." ”
Lord Fang looked at Xiao Han sadly, the people were suffering from the epidemic, and their hearts were broken with a blow, but now there is a cremation, they must not agree, this is good and has caused public anger.
"I'll take care of it." Xiao Han took Lord Fang's helpless eyes and said.
In the whole afternoon, he tossed and persuaded the people to be cremated, but fortunately, Xiao Han had a three-inch tongue, and with the prestige of the gods, he painstakingly explained the benefits and disadvantages to them, and finally even assured them in the name of the gods that the cremation would not fall into the eighteenth layer of hell, and those people gave up.
After Yu Yu found out, he sighed: "Childe, you are so clever and don't be a diplomatic envoy!" ”
Xiao Han didn't think so, and teased: "I'm too strong to be that." ”
However, Yu Yu secretly slandered himself, if there was a young man Yu, it would be very suitable.
However, Liuyu had a worried and sorrowful look on his face, and sighed and said, "Childe, if there is really a god, will you blame you for swearing?" ”
It turns out that he has been struggling with this.
Xiao Han couldn't cry or laugh, and the corners of his mouth naturally drew an arc.
"Don't worry, if the gods knew that you were worried about Childe like this, they wouldn't bear to blame Childe!" Jade snickered and rubbed her hair.
"Don't touch my head," Liuyu frowned and brushed Yuyu's hand, "My hair is messed up." ”
Another clear and shallow smile, like a mist at Xiao Han's eyebrows, is so beautiful.
"Childe, you're so beautiful with a smile!" Liuyu put his hands on his cheeks and looked at Xiao Han stupidly.
Xiao Han's shallow smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and he was speechless for a while.
At the right time, when Xiao Han was embarrassed, Ruxuan suddenly ran in and said, "Childe, there is a situation on the Zhao family's side." ”
"What's wrong?" Xiao Han got up.
"The doctors over there all said that the medicine was effective, and the dying patients woke up," Ru Xuan said, "and the pulses of the other patients gradually stabilized." ”
Hearing this, Yu Yu folded his hands, breathed a long sigh of relief, and said with relief: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
"I'll go take a look." An indescribable mood came to Xiao Han's heart, and she finally maintained the hope of the people in her. How many people are there in Panyu, finally saved!
"Childe, wait for me." Liuyu also ran out.
Turning his head to look at Ruxuan, Yu Xuan also smiled with tears in his eyes, overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "I'll go and deliver a prescription to Master Fang." ”
Seeing the brightly lit Zhao family from a distance, Xiao Han's footsteps slowed down. She raised her hands, there was nothing on her slender and white fingers, but she had saved so many people with these hands, saved so many simple and clean smiles, and held such a weak hope.
"Childe!" Liuyu stopped beside Xiao Han and called in a low voice.
Xiao Han looked up at his eyes full of worry. "Let's go." She smiled bitterly.
Putting his finger on the vermilion door, he pushed it open.
"The gods are above, please accept our worship." Xiao Han stood at the gate in a daze, looking at all this in astonishment.
"Bye-bye!"
"Three bows."
After three prostrations, the people got up. "It was the gods who saved our lives, and we have nothing to repay," said the leader of the group, "bowing down to express our gratitude." ”
After a long time, Xiao Han squirmed his lips, but he couldn't find anything to say, so he had to ask the doctors, "Is the pulse okay?" ”
"Gongzi is a miracle doctor in the world", the doctors were also full of relief, and they admired Xiao Han very much, "As soon as Gongzi was sick, it was not a problem." This is by no means flattery, but the fact that makes the doctors' tone sincere.
In this way, the medicine does work.
"It's late at night, you have to rest, and you can go back when you are well." Xiao Han suddenly wanted to go back, she was too tired.
She turned around, but the voice behind her was like the voice of a bell: "Congratulations to the gods." ”
With that voice, her steps were slow and gentle, the slow thing was that she was really tired, and the slow thing was that she had saved so many people.
In Liuyu's view, Xiao Han was very conflicted, he didn't understand but was worried, but when the words came to his mouth, he was blocked back by Xiao Han: "Go back." ”
Listening to Xiao Han's tone, she obviously didn't want to say more, and Liuyu didn't ask anymore.
"Childe, I have given the recipe to Lord Fang, and he will send it to the rest of the counties." Jade said.
"You're tired today, let's all go and rest", Xiao Han said to Yu Yu again, "Especially you, these days are really busy." ”
Yu Yu was embarrassed, but in his heart he wondered Xiao Han's mood at this time, and looked at Liuzhen, but saw him spread his hands, and he didn't seem to know.
"Childe is bathing, Yu Yu has prepared a hot soup." Yu Yu asked cautiously.
"It's okay to take a bath." Xiao Han closed his eyes and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Go back and rest!" Yuyu asked the three of them to go back, and made a gesture to reassure them.
Liuyu is reluctant but helpless.
"Childe, what's the matter", Yu Yu asked for Xiao Han's wide clothes, "The danger of the epidemic has been lifted, isn't this good?" ”
After removing the white silk wrapped in his chest, Xiao Han breathed a long sigh of relief: "Yuyu, I actually saved so many people." ”
Yu Yu didn't understand for a while, listening to her words.
"My heart is very complicated, and it is glad to be able to solve the danger of the epidemic, but I have found that I am slowly changing", Xiao Han's toes touched the water first, "Now I am happy and angry." The water in the tub flooded her shoulders, and she clutched her chest.
Yu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, she still thought something had happened, was it okay to be happy and angry? Maybe Childe just hasn't adapted to this change for a while, after all, she has been as cold as ice for more than ten years.
"Others say that Childe is a god, but Childe knows that he is not a god", Yu Yu said, "The reason why people are different from things is that people have joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and people have their own emotions, and Childe is no exception." ”
"Really?"
"Childe has been lonely in Taoyuan for a long time before, and his temperament is naturally cold. But now that I have walked outside and seen all kinds of things in the world, my temperament has naturally changed, which is the nature of human beings. ”
"When did this happen?" Xiao Han was stunned, laughed again, and asked himself, "When you met Yu Yi in Jiangzhou, did you come to Jiankang or did you come to Panyu?" ”
Yu Yu shook his head, took a clean ** and hung it on the screen, and said: "Now that Childe will laugh, we will also be happy, and today Liuyu also told me that Childe is so good." In the same way, even if the son is angry, our hearts are happy. In the past, whether the son was happy or angry, he had a cold face, and we were very uncomfortable when we saw it, and we always felt that the son was missing something, and we always felt that the son lived a very uncomfortable life every day. ”
"Is that really good?" Xiao Han lost his mind, "Like me before, nothing can hurt me if I am cold." And now once you have feelings, you will be hurt. ”
The tip of the middle finger gently pressed against his chest, and the rhythmic beating hovered around the fingertips, Xiao Han was melancholy: "It hurts a lot, it hurts." ”
Although I don't know what Xiao Han experienced when she was a child, Yu Yu is sure that she is afraid of facing unknown harm in the future.
She said softly, "Have you ever heard a word from Childe?" 'I don't care about how long it lasts, I only care about what I once had'. ”
"I don't care about how long it lasts, I only care about what I once had?"
"Nothing in the world can last forever, and if it cannot be eternal, it cannot last forever. We don't need to be honest, even if it is hurt in the end, we have experienced the beauty and the joy of it! ”
"Is it worth it to enjoy the pleasure of the moment and fall into the hell of Shura?" Xiao Han chuckled.
"As long as you experience it, it's worth it, and if you have memories, you have no regrets!" Jade said.
Xiao Han shook his head, feeling confused, and had to sigh with a smile: "If only I had a simple mind like Liuyu!" "It's as simple as a stream, so you don't think too much about it!
"It's really rare to be like that!" Yu Yu also smiled, "Honest and lively, simple but without losing temperament!" ”
"Yes", the hot mist filled Xiao Han's eyes, making those already beautiful eyes even more like smoke, "Now I don't want to ask him to be as serious as a mirror and as a xuan." ”
Xiao Han squinted his eyes and sat in the hot soup, breathing a sigh of relief to wash away the weakness that had been deposited for many days. For a while, I felt very fresh.
"It's been two quarters of an hour since I soaked," Xiao Han said, "I'll get up!" ”
Yu Yu picked up the ** and put it on for Xiao Han. Xiao Han was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "You have a heart." No matter how busy she is these days, she will not forget to smear mint on her clothes.
"The son is happy with the mint fragrance, and the jade is also happy, and he can calm down." Yu Yu said with a smile.
After getting dressed, Xiao Han said: "You go back to rest, and you don't have to get up early tomorrow morning to serve me early." ”
"Childe should go to bed sooner!" Yu Yu smiled and exited the room.
Xiao Han blew out the candle and lay down on the boat, turning his head sideways to meet the moonlight from a window lattice. Full of soft light, a clear and shallow smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Han's mouth.
"Yu Yi, I've really changed!" Xiao Han gently spit out the words, and waited for the words to float to the moonlight's closed eyes.
The silver dust all over the ground, the smile as gentle as the moon suddenly appeared, and the golden and jade voice in the memory called softly: "Hanhan." ”
