- In fact, just waiting for Liao Shi to admit the hidden puppet thing is enough to make Yan Xing uncomfortable.

The stain of Medicine Valley that has been criticized by the world, Yan Xingzhi is because he grew up in a family of famous doctors, and he hears it more often than ordinary people. In the eyes of many doctors, Medicine Valley is the scum of the medical world, and the image of the two descendants of Medicine Valley has been demonized, otherwise how can there be two titles of "medicine ghost" and "demon doctor"?

But Yan Xingzhi has always privately thought that the rumors of the hidden puppet are just false rumors.

Although Liao Shi's reputation in the world is evil, after getting along in recent years, Yan Xingzhi thinks that he knows this withdrawn old man well enough. The old medicine man was ugly in appearance and spoke unpleasantly, and he couldn't even see a little charm outside his body when he looked at him from behind, but this old man was actually not enthusiastic enough, not tactful enough, but not vicious.

At least you can't do such a terrible thing as refining medicine with a living person.

But now he has taken the initiative to admit it!

"There are about six puppets in the Medicine Valley...... Well...... This is what I counted when I went back four years ago, and I don't know how many ...... are left."

"Those puppets have whiter faces and straighter eyes when they look at people, don't be scared when you see them, but don't try to talk to them either, because they don't think anymore."

"Also, if a puppet tells you to go somewhere, just don't answer them. I still have to tell you again, when you arrive in the Medicine Valley, don't listen to anyone there, including your uncle. For you, he is a madman, without the affection of the teacher, and it is extremely dangerous. ”

"Oh, there's one more crucial thing to say. If you see what your uncle asks you to eat or drink, don't think that he has tried it for the children around him, and you can eat it with confidence. The medicine boys who can follow him are all refined, and they are not afraid of any poison, you can't compare. ”

“…… It seems that sometimes even I can't tell that the food is poisonous to you, because I can't taste it, how good is that......"

Liao Shi chattered a lot slowly. Yan Xingzhi, who was walking side by side with him, not only did not respond half a sentence, but gradually slowed down a lot, and fell behind Liao Shi.

Liao Shi had to stop, and when he looked back, he saw that Yan Xingzhi had simply stopped in place, his young face was slightly pale, and his eyes were full of surprise.

"It's not going to scare you right now, is it?" Liao Shi misunderstood Yan Xingzhi's expression, but from his observation point of view, it was indeed difficult to read Yan Xingzhi's mood at this time.

After being stunned for a moment, Yan Xingzhi muttered, "If the rumors of the hidden puppet are true. Why did I mention to my grandfather about the apprenticeship of the Medicine Valley? He didn't say anything about it. If I can pass your test, even if he agrees?"

"Yan Guang Lao'er really means this?" Liao Shi hesitated for a moment, a trace of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked in other words: "Could it be that you always thought that the rumors of the hidden puppet were just lies?" Or if it turns out that the hidden puppet is true? You don't want to go to Medicine Valley?"

Yan Xing was speechless.

When a person has always believed that something is suddenly overturned, and thus provokes a complex process of emotional change, it is really difficult to express it in any way for a while.

Liao Shi has already looked down on the world's prejudice against Medicine Valley, and it doesn't matter how much others pour more dirt on his master, anyway, he doesn't plan to hang the pot to help the world, he has never considered making friends with nobles and celebrities, and he is not short of silver, so his reputation stinks!

However, when he saw the little follower behind him in front of him, he was inseparable from the young man to the weak crown age in a few years. There was also a hint of doubt on him, and somehow, this trace of negativity was quickly enlarged in his eyes, making him a little sad.

If he has nothing to do with the world, it is not necessarily absolute. He only made very few friends, but these few people who knew him well actually had a lot of weight in his heart.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have given her daughter five years of free treatment for her body poison because the woman named Ye Ziqing created a medicine box for him more than ten years ago, and he also achieved a complete cure, with her daughter's anti-poison physique.

You must know that the former queen mother treated him to death, and the current emperor summoned him several times to ask him to treat the second prince, but he refused to go.

He lived in seclusion for five years, and finally let the world gradually forget his existence, but in order to save Lin Shan's life, he came back, but he was almost killed by a group of killers in the street as soon as he entered the gate of the imperial capital.

In order to save Lin Shan, he spent another three years, and consumed most of the various miraculous medicines he had collected from his five years of seclusion and thousands of miles of mountain roads. These resources are also integrated by him with his life time, and there are some rare medicinal materials, and he even used up the specimens he kept, and I don't know if there will be a chance to return to the original place where he collected them in the future.

Although half of the reason for Yan Xingzhi's treatment now is to fulfill a promise, but now, most of it is because he gradually acknowledges Yan Xingzhi's excellent character in his heart and intends to regret it.

Many years ago, Liao Shi took a request from Yan Guang, the grandfather of the Yan family, and said that he would treat Yan Guang's old mother, but the treatment only started for two months, and Liao Shi went to prison due to misfortune, and Yan Guang's old mother died after not long. Although Liao Shi may not be able to cure the old woman at that time, it is a fact that he lost his promise.

Now that the only grandson of the Yan family is in trouble, and it is also the same as the missed promise more than ten years ago, he can no longer turn a blind eye.

And if Yan Xingzhi's strange family disease can be cured and he is taken back to Medicine Valley this time, Liao Shi may still be officially accepted as an apprentice.

If it was Ye Ziqing who grabbed his ears and shouted: "Old monster, get out!"; Or Mo Ye pouted and said to him unremittingly: "Evil old man, I won't call you grandpa!"; Lin Shan sprinkled him with wine; Yan Guang spat and quarreled with him, and you said, "Hunchbacked old man, why is it shrinking more and more as it grows?" I said, "Old immortal, I really didn't expect you to be able to catch your breath!" ”…… These scenes he had imagined and happened to experience, Liao Shi didn't take it to heart. For him, these disrespectful treatments are like commonplace, and he can be held up today, rested, and continued tomorrow.

However, in the face of the young man in front of him who had watched him grow up for a few years and had changed a little, watching him question silently, Liao Shi felt that he was really sad in his heart.

However, after all, he has lived in this world for nearly fifty years, and his state of mind is gradually aging like his skin, and it is not easy for a trace of sadness to leave many deep traces.

Lifted the blanket that hung diagonally over his shoulder. He took off the old gourd hanging from the end of the blanket, pulled out the cork, raised his neck and took a small sip, letting the mellow and heavy fifty-year-old wine tumble on the tongue coating, and then swallowed it slowly.

Old wine is not very prickly, if you don't get drunk in one go, it gives people a floating feeling but it doesn't hurt overnight. Liao Shi swallowed the wine and took a deep breath, as if he wanted to swallow all the leakage of the wine back into his stomach.

Then he breathed a sigh of satisfaction again, as if this sip of wine would relieve him of his worries and refresh his spirits, and a smile gradually began on his wrinkled face.

If Yan Xingzhi could still look at his face calmly at this time. It's not hard to spot. In the past, the old pharmacist's smile deepened. The wrinkles on his face also deepened, but although the old medicine master was smiling at this time, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be lighter.

This makes the face full of traces of time more clearly show a somewhat unfamiliar feeling. Yan Xingzhi will not see it before.

Liao Shi didn't say anything more, nor did he stand still and wait for Yan Xingzhi to come over and walk together, he just turned around and walked forward by himself. His two hands no longer pressed the medicine box on his chest and the bamboo basket behind him, but just flung one arm at random with the walking posture, and the other hand reached out to the blanket, blindly touching the dried braised pork stuffed inside, and throwing it into his mouth as he walked.

Seeing that Liao Shi had already walked out a little far, Yan Xingzhi seemed to suddenly come back to his senses and did not speak. Just quickened his pace and trotted after him.

※※※※※※

Cheng Xu came suddenly, and he left in a hurry, and the whole process took less than half an hour. However, Mo Ye and him don't really have the affection of cousins, and they have only met each other a few times. They are not familiar yet, and naturally there is no need for long words to say goodbye.

When Cheng Xu left, he took the box with him. It seems that the people from that mysterious organization have a very consistent style of doing things. As soon as he thought of this, Mo Ye couldn't help but think of Wu Shu again.

On this trip, Cheng Xu seemed to be very unhappy to mention Wu Shu's matter in front of Mo Ye.

His stay in the Song Mansion was very short, and in this short opportunity, as long as Mo Ye had any questions about Wu Shu or tried to ask, he was rejected by Cheng Xu without any room for maneuver.

Maybe it was because the stomach was empty, and after the guide drank the medicine, the churning feeling in his stomach lasted for a long time. After sending Cheng Xu away, when returning, Mo Ye walked in the corridor and rested several times along the way, before gradually calming down the boredom and temporarily suppressing his worries about Wu Shu.

She subconsciously walked towards the study where Ruan Luo was.

However, when she passed through an arc moon gate in the courtyard, and her eyes just touched the door of the study, she suddenly heard an exclamation, and then saw Bai Tao's figure staggering out of the study slightly.

Mo Ye's heart tightened, and his steps suddenly increased, and he shouted while running towards the study: "Sister Bai Tao, what happened?"

When Bai Tao fell out of the house, she neglected her feet in a panic, and her heel tripped over the threshold, causing her to sit heavily on the ground. However, she didn't seem to feel the slightest pain, and her mind became confused in her panic.

Hearing Mo Ye's voice, she tilted her head, and suddenly shouted again: "Young Master......"

Mo Ye ran to Bai Tao to help her up, and then followed Bai Tao's flustered gaze and looked towards the study, and then she couldn't help but be shocked!

In the study, Ruan Luo had already stood up from behind his desk and walked towards the door with a suppressed cough. His face was also surprised, but he didn't understand why Bai Tao suddenly screamed after he just stepped into the study.

When Mo Ye saw Ruan Luo, he was surprised that the hand he covered his lips had a little black liquid between his fingers that could not be distinguished, and it overflowed with his gentle cough. And looking at Ruan Luo's expression, he himself seemed to have no idea about it.

Mo Ye's heartbeat slipped suddenly, his heart was suffocated, and he immediately lost his voice and said, "Brother Ruan, you ......"

"What's wrong with you two?" Ruan Luo's eyes became more and more suspicious, and he removed the hand that was covering his mouth as he spoke, only to see a black wet mark on the palm of his hand. He himself was stunned, then laughed, and said, "I said why the taste suddenly became astringent, it turned out to be a mistake."

※※※※※※

The reason for Bai Tao's exclamation was very simple, just because he saw Ruan Luo take a sip of the inkstone, and it was too late to stop it.

The cause of the incident has to be mentioned from Mo Ye just now after leaving the study.

After Mo Ye left, Ruan Luo sat alone and drank porridge, which was really boring and tasteless, so unconsciously. His hand touched the book again, and when he opened the title page he had seen before, he became fascinated by the reading, and forgot about the porridge.

After reading a paragraph, he encountered something obscure, he put down the book and thought about it, but remembered the matter of drinking porridge again. So the matter naturally evolved into him reading a book while drinking porridge, and the result was that he used the inkstone as a porridge bowl and drank a sip of ink.

The ink is made by grinding carbon rods and water, and there is no bitter taste in the mouth, but there are a lot of sand-like particles in the ink. It's more astringent. And when Ruan Luo just noticed something unusual. Bai Tao's exclamation at the door of the study suddenly came. He choked in his throat and coughed, which made his appearance look more terrifying with the ink on his lips.

Bai Tao was so frightened that his legs were weak. Mo Ye let her stay in the study, while she ran to the kitchen and fetched a large pot of well water to bring it. One back and forth, and a sweat broke out again.

Rinse your mouth several times before removing the ink residue from your mouth. Ruan Luo looked at Mo Ye, who was sweating profusely, and Bai Tao, who was still frightened in his eyes, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "I'm fine, I just drank a sip of ink by mistake, it doesn't matter."

Mo Ye and Bai Tao looked at Ruan Luo. They looked at each other again, and both of them seemed to have something to say, but they held back and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Ruan Luo thought for a while and said, "Mo Ye's cousin came just now, and he made an appointment beforehand. So I let her go to the front room. I don't blame her for this, it's my own fault, such a big person, and it's a little embarrassing to make such a mistake. ”

Bai Tao showed a sudden expression on his face, and muttered in a low voice: "So that's ......"

Looking at this situation, she may really have the intention of blaming Mo Ye in her heart just now, but she didn't say it directly in front of Ruan Luo.

However, regardless of whether Bai Tao would directly blame him, Mo Ye still had an apology in his heart for this matter. Bai Tao has the responsibility to manage the behavior of the maids in the house, and in the face of the things entrusted by this big maid in charge, he made a mistake so quickly, Mo Ye's conscience will inevitably be uneasy.

- I just hope that Ruan Luo is really okay as he said!

Therefore, although Ruan Luo had already explained the reason, Mo Ye still seriously apologized to Bai Tao. But when she turned to face Ruan Luo, she didn't do this, but locked her eyebrows, and said seriously: "Brother Ruan, when you have dinner in the future, please leave the study, and when you are in the dining room, you are not allowed to hold a book in your hand."

Although Mo Ye has some places to ask Bai Tao for help in the service rules, she also has the right to supervise Wang Zhe. Compared with the maids, the meaning of Mo Ye staying by Ruan Luo's side is a little different.

The mistake he had just made was in the past, and Ruan Luo naturally had no objection to Mo Ye's request, and agreed with his mouth.

"It's okay, I won't continue to read." After a pause, Ruan Luo said again: "You two haven't had dinner yet, have you?" Let's go eat first, and we'll clean up here later. ”

Bai Tao, who had been palpitating and not making a sound, suddenly said, "Let's ask Lang Zhong to take a look, right?" Brother Ruan, you took a sip of ink! ”

"No, the ink, though it's black and scary, isn't poison." Ruan Luo immediately waved his hand, looking at Bai Tao's face, he thought about it and then said, "Actually, you suddenly screamed just now, so scared that I spit out a mouthful of ink, you are more effective than Lang Zhong's medicine!"

Bai Tao froze when she heard this, and she didn't know how to say for a long time, but a trace of blush came out from her cheeks, which were slightly pale with fright, and immediately betrayed her mind.

Ruan Luo couldn't see this, he had already left with a smile.

Mo Ye had seen this, but with her age and opportunity, she didn't quite understand what this phenomenon meant. Maybe one day, she will also have a shy experience, and she will understand, right?

※※※※※※

During dinner, Mo Ye met the housekeeper of the Song Mansion under the introduction of Bai Tao.

The reason why I didn't see this housekeeper surnamed Bu when I first arrived here was because in addition to managing the general affairs of the Song family's mansion, the butler Bu also had the responsibility of contacting the properties under the Song family's name.

The property in the name of Master Song was transferred to the name of his nephew Ruan Luo, in addition to the bookkeepers everywhere to contact Tongda one after another, some official deeds also had to be replaced.

In the recent days, the butler has taken on a lot of things, so he has left all the things in the mansion to Bai Tao for the time being.

It wasn't until the chief steward of the Song family said that Mo Ye knew that Bai Tao's status in the Song family was not just as simple as staying for a long time and having high qualifications.

Although Bai Tao is not related to Master Song, he has a father-daughter relationship. Bai Tao was picked up by Master Song from the side of the road when she was four years old, and after nine years, Master Song taught and raised her far more than she used to call slaves. If it weren't for Master Song being too busy, maybe he would have recognized Bai Tao as a righteous daughter, right?

-- Just to officially recognize women, it is necessary to go through some official documents.

Master Song has been ignoring these things because he is too busy with business, but his nurturing and caring for Bai Tao is a fact that is really seen by a group of servants. Unfortunately, a few months ago, Master Song died of a sudden illness, and his intention was never to be achieved.

The step steward has the right to know most of the affairs of the Song family, and there are not many things that can actually be operated, so he can only do his best, and after the death of Master Song, he will try his best to let Bai Tao live a more peaceful life.
