(190), the taste of free pie
Yan Xingzhi laughed dryly, and after a long pause, he suddenly asked, "How does the pharmacist know how long it will take us to catch up with them?" Do you know exactly where they are at this time? ”
Liao Shi glanced at his words and deeds with a deep look, and said vaguely: "My patient, before he recovers, of course, will not be out of my 'care'. ”
Words and deeds know that asking him a question directly, most of them are difficult to answer, but at present, it seems that although he doesn't know how a thin old man used to know Mo Ye's whereabouts, he has not been out of the Great Wind Ridge for three years, except for saving a few Orion woodcutters on the road, he has no other friends, but he can go beyond his grandfather's network to know the whereabouts of Mo Ye who left the academy in a hurry, but as long as Liao Shi doesn't lie, and he follows him closely, he will naturally know the answer.
Listening to Liao Shi's special title for Senior Brother Mo, he should be very concerned about this patient who suffered from a 'strange disease' at a young age, so even if what he said still contained fictional elements, it should not deviate from the theme of this trip, so after Liao Shi's pretended to be mysterious, he did not ask any more questions.
Without the pressure of the basket on his back, the thin old man who began to walk with the quirky posture of swaying left and right again When he spoke, his right hand moved a little indecently into the placket, and from the angle of Yan Xingzhi following him, it seemed that he was scratching the armpit of his left hand, and this scene fell into the eyes of Pei Yin, who was serving beside Yan Xingzhi, and he couldn't help frowning slightly.
Yan Xingzhi turned a blind eye to this scene, but because of the other party's casualness, he felt a little itchy at his elbow at this time, and he didn't have to endure it in the face of face, he directly reached into the rather loose cuffs and grabbed it.
Seeing this, Pei Yin hurriedly asked, "Young Master, where are you unwell?" ”
Yan Xingzhi can let go of some education in front of Liao Shi. Do something casual, but have more or less scruples in front of this servant who was trained by his grandfather and has more seniority. When he heard this, he pulled his hand out of his sleeve and hung it down to his side as usual, and then said with a smile: "Maybe I walked through that pine forest just now, and when I was dividing the branches with my hands, I dropped insects and went in, and my arm was a little itchy." ”
Yan Xingzhi's words were lighthearted, but after falling into Pei Yin's ears, the meaning became a little different. I remembered the day before I was going to leave home with the young master a few years ago. The Yan family master told him about it, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, but looking at the young master's complexion, he looked very good, and he subconsciously comforted himself.
In the end, he thought that he could take the young master home immediately, and at that time, he could let the old master personally diagnose the young master's pulse, and the words that came to his mouth for a while were swallowed back into his stomach.
Seeing that the young master finally became the medicine boy of the strange old man who had been chasing for several years. Although he was once the attendant of the world's famous doctors, he felt a little unworthy and aggrieved for the young master in his heart, but seeing that the young master was happy at this time, he decided not to say those disappointing words for now.
Yan Xingzhi looked at Pei Yin, who wanted to speak and stopped, and was about to ask him if there was something wrong, but he was distracted by Liao Shi's sudden voice.
"Blame me for not being thoughtful, not considering that you are not as old and rough as me. Just now, I should give you a sachet of the anthelmintic medicine I made zuò. After Yan Xingzhi's words to Pei Yin fell into Liao Shi's ears, he first apologized with a slight irony in his tone, and then said with a sense of schadenfreude: "But we have gone down the mountain now, maybe you will be confined by Yan Guang's family law, so it doesn't make sense for me to give you that now." ”
Yan Xingzhi was not displeased by the other intentions in his words, but grabbed another piece of information, stepped up to Liao Shi's side, and said with a smile full of anticipation: "No wonder the pharmacist not only did not lose his spirit at all along the way, but he couldn't get close to even a little illness." It turned out that there was a treasure hidden on his body. ”
"Come on. Gotcha, gotcha for you. As soon as Yan Xingzhi's words fell, Liao Shi's voice came out immediately, and at the same time, something was thrown out by him with his back to Yan Xingzhi.
Yan Xingzhi just copied it in his hand. Listening to Liao Shi's voice, he explained: "I haunt the mountains and forests all year round, and this medicine bag is also often carried, and it is very simple for me to make it, so this thing is also extremely common to me, since you want it, I will give you one." If we will go together in the future, you can just open your mouth if you want anything, of course, it is up to me to give it or not. ”
Yan Xingzhi couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, pharmacist." ”
Liao Shi touched it in his arms for a long time, and took off the medicine bag he was wearing and threw it to Yan Xingzhi, in fact, it was mainly because this useless thing hindered him from finding another thing. He couldn't imagine that this action caused two different feelings of dislike and joy between the two behind him.
After touching for a long time, his fingers finally touched a hard object with water chestnuts, Liao Shi did not take it out of his arms, but quickly touched the lines on both sides of it with his fingertips, and then a smile appeared on his face, and he said loudly: "When you get to the town later, I will take you to take a bath first, buy clothes with body noodles, and then have a good meal, and then continue to hurry." ”
From Liao Shi's words, Yan Xingzhi heard that the other party not only began to get closer to him, but also took the initiative to mention the next step, and his mood was a little happier. But soon he realized a very real problem, thinking of what Liao Shi said just now, although he was a little embarrassed to say it, but in the end he decided not to hide it.
"Pharmacist ......" Yan Xingzhi's tone was hesitant, "Actually, in order to restrict my movements, my father has ...... supply of road materials in recent years."
Unexpectedly, before he finished his words, he saw Liao Shi touch something out of his arms, shook it in the air and said, "Don't worry, someone has already paid for the expenses." ”
After Yan Xingzhi saw the things in Liao Shi's hand clearly, his eyes froze, and in an instant, he suddenly understood why Liao Shi was able to know the patient's whereabouts well, and at the same time, the things he had just worried about were completely gone.
Pei Yin, who followed Yan Xingzhi, was a loyal servant cultivated by Yan Guang, and when he followed Yan Guang, the main place of action was Kyoto, although he has been following Yan Xingzhi in the mountains and forests in recent years, but the insight he has learned through life in Kyoto is still retained. After he saw the thing in Liao Shi's hand at a glance, he reacted, what Liao Shi had been reaching out to fish in the placket of his clothes just now was not the pickled thing he thought, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Liao Shi, who had been walking in front with his back to Yan Xing's master and servant, didn't notice the change in their mood, but at this time, a little annoying thing slowly appeared in his heart.
Although he hadn't used the thing in his hand yet, Liao Shi had already guessed where the nominal master and apprentice would go if they left Xingjia Village, but when he thought that he was going there too, his mood was a little cheerful.
I wonder if it will be a less pleasant trip?
Liao Shi asked himself such a sentence in his heart, and immediately scratched his back that was a little itchy because he began to sweat, and said with a wry smile in his heart: Most of the free pies taste not very good, but this cake has no right to refuse, it is really masochistic!
……
Originally, Li Gai brought Lin Shan to Ye Mansion, firstly, because Lin Shan wanted to see his old friend's daughter who had never seen her, but won the love of several nobles in the palace at a young age; Another thing is to find old friends to get together, chat and drink, but in the end, things turned out to be a little unhappy.
As soon as the conversation started, the direction of the topic turned to a not very pleasant direction, and Ye Zhengming was certainly not in the mood to drink. Everyone had a home-cooked lunch in Ye's Mansion, and Lin Shan met Ye Nuonuo, but because Ye Zhengming was in a bad mood today, this child was also restrained in front of Lin Shan, a living person, and he couldn't talk very much.
After eating, Lin Shan and Li Gai didn't stay long in Yefu before leaving.
Looking at the departing backs of the two guests who came to the house today and disappeared outside the gate of the courtyard, Ye Nuonuo glanced at his father, and finally couldn't help asking: "Dad, listening to what you just talked about, you and the uncle surnamed Lin should be old friends who haven't seen each other for many years, but why did you look unhappy just now?" ”
Ye Zhengming looked at his daughter's bright eyes and was about to speak, but he saw her childish face again, and finally chose to swallow back what he wanted to say, but he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alas......"
Seeing her father sigh, Ye Nuonuo also sighed softly, and then she grabbed one of his big hands, unconsciously rubbed the callus at the base of his palm fingers because of long-term medicine and pestle, and muttered as if talking to herself: "Whenever I see my father's troubles, I want to grow up quickly, so that I can help my father share his worries; But sometimes I'm a little scared of growing up, because adults always seem to have a lot of troubles. ”
A smile finally appeared on Ye Zhengming's face, he reached out and rubbed Ye Nuonuo's hair, but still didn't say anything.
……
After leaving Yefu, Lin Shan and Li Gai walked side by side, and the two walked slowly on the street, speechless for a long time.
However, when the two of them finished walking one street and were about to turn into another street, Lin Shan suddenly spoke: "I heard you say just now, because you exposed your identity in a driving rescue activity, and if you don't take credit, you will be convicted, so you have to become an official and achieve the position of the current commander of the forbidden army?" ”
"Hmm." Li Gai nodded and said: "That's how the 'Night Rider' came about, originally mainly responsible for the security of the forbidden palace and the protection of the royal family, but later it involved some supervision and reporting matters, and the members of the department gradually grew as a result. ”
"Inspector ......" Lin Shan's eyes were suspicious, and after a deep groan, he said, "Wouldn't this overlap with Yu Linwei and the Privy Council in terms of functions?" Or rather...... Is it a conflict? ”。 (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation
