- Liao Shi walked back to the house, but instead of immediately sitting back at the table, he paced to the place where Lin Shan had just sat and his eyes fell on the teacup that had just been filled with hot water. Seeing that the color of the tea soup in the pottery cup was too dark, which made people feel that the taste was also thick, Liao Shi remembered the way Lin Shan drank tea just now, and his brows moved slightly.

Under Lin Shan's orders, the maid who stayed in the dining room and waited for the envoy saw Liao Shi staring at a cup of hot tea as if in a daze, and after waiting quietly for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "Does the old gentleman need tea?"

Liao Shi glanced back at the young maid girl with a beautiful face, and seemed to be in a better mood, and after laughing twice, he said, "Little girl, help me get a pair of clean chopsticks."

In fact, the position he was standing at this time was not a few steps away from the dining table, but when he saw the cute little girl, he couldn't help but want her to help him do something. A young girl is like a bud that has just bloomed, even if it is a nameless flower on the side of the road, it will make people can't help but stop and pay attention.

However, in the eyes of the little girl, the rickety back in front of her made her look relatively short, and the skin on her face was also wrinkled, and her face was ugly, even when he laughed, he couldn't see where to go, and even because of that smile, his face became a little weird.

The pupils shrank slightly, the little girl didn't dare to look at his smiling face more, only lowered her eyebrows and raised her eyes with a "hmm", and then went to the dinner table to pick out a pair of new chopsticks, then turned around and approached him a little, stretched out her arms and handed them over, "Old man, the chopsticks you want." ”

When Liao Shi took the chopsticks sideways, the little girl saw that the expression on his face had become very strict, and she thought that she had not done anything with the chopsticks. He shrunk his neck slightly.

The little maid was waiting for Liao Shixun to speak, but she didn't hear the old gentleman's voice for a long time, so she couldn't help but look up, but saw where the old gentleman cared about her. I just took the tea leaves in the pestle teacup with chopsticks with a concentrated expression.

The tea leaves were brought in by the servants in advance after they were put in the teacup, so to know what the tea came from, you really had to look at the tea residues. However, tea leaves are such things as boiling water. It is also easier to distinguish between the kind.

Lin Shan's sense of taste has been diseased, which indirectly affects his diet seasoning, and the taste of the food is extremely bland, maybe it is so suitable for him, Liao Shi has also seen it just now, so he doubted, why can Lin Shan still drink such a thick strong tea?

Holding chopsticks, he picked out a few pieces of tea leaves from the teacup, moved them on the table, and Liao Shi, who put down the chopsticks, lowered his head and approached for a while to observe carefully. His originally rickety back was even more crooked.

I stared at the shape of the soaked tea leaves for a long time. He reached out again and picked up the blade and hung it in the direction of the light in the doorway. After observing the leaf veins for a while, he hesitated for a moment, then turned around and took a sip of the teacup on the table. The tea soup slid over his tongue, and soon he frowned.

As he expected. The tea was extremely bitter, but the taste of the tea soup and his careful observation of the leaves had allowed him to determine the type of tea.

Smacking his lips, Liao Shi turned his gaze and looked at the maid who was standing on the side behind him who was already full of doubts at this time, and asked, "Is this tea from that gentleman for your son-in-law?"

"That gentleman" refers to the imperial doctor who accompanied Lin Shan to the Northland three years ago, and unlike Liao Shi, he needs to stay in Lin Shan's secluded residence for a long time so that he can take care of him at any time.

However, in the past six months, the sin imperial doctor who was ostensibly expelled by the Imperial Medical Bureau has also been idle and has nothing to do. Liao Shi heard that he really did the work that led to his expulsion from Kyoto three years ago, and with his excellent skills, he has now become a well-known drag in the Northland.

The maid was not very familiar with Liao Shi, but she was clear about the imperial doctor, because the two had met each other often. Although Lin Shan needs to keep his identity secret during this trip, so the little maid doesn't know the word "royal" in front of the title of imperial doctor, but she has already followed the habits of the locals and changed her name to "divine doctor".

So when she heard Liao Shidi's inquiry at this time, the maid reacted very quickly and nodded immediately. However, she quickly became surprised again, and asked in a low voice: "Old man, the maidservant girl just saw you staring at this tea residue repeatedly, is there anything wrong with this tea residue?"

"No problem." Liao Shi didn't think that if he was willing to explain, with the depth of knowledge of this little girl, she would be able to understand, so he only perfunctory with three simple words, and then asked: "How long has your son-in-law been drinking this kind of tea?"

The confusion on the maid's face was even heavier, but she also clearly felt that the old gentleman didn't want to explain any more details to her, so she didn't ask any more, and only answered the question obediently: "It's been about a month."

Liao Shi slowly raised his eyebrows, not knowing what kind of expression he was experiencing, and only after a moment did he relax and then said, "You go and find the old wine."

When the maid heard this, fear suddenly appeared on her pretty face, and she hurriedly said, "Old man, did the maid say something wrong just now?"

Liao Shi was slightly stunned, but immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you afraid of this?" I just have something to do with your son-in-law, and I want to say to Chen Jiu directly, she is a close person to your son, but you are not. ”

"Oh, oh... The handmaid will go now...... Wait a minute, old gentleman. The maid nodded in response, secretly relieved at the same time, but also felt a little embarrassed, lowered her head and hurriedly trotted out.

The wine soon came, and the first thing she saw when she entered the room was at the dinner table. There was no Lin Shan in the room, and Liao Shi was not sitting at the table, Chen Jiu looked at Liao Shi who was standing next to the charcoal stove and seemed to be in a daze, and asked in the first sentence: "What's wrong with the pharmacist?" Is the food still not to taste?"

Liao Shi came back from his contemplation when he heard this, shook his head and smiled: "No, if I can't even get used to the dishes you cook, then how can I be bribed by you, and just said a good word for you in front of that kid?"

Although he said so, there was no smile on Chen Jiu's face, and his tone gradually became cold: "Eventful." If you say something nice in your style, you have to have a thorn. Did you just quarrel again?"

Liao Shi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wine girl, don't learn from that kid, why did you two stay together for three years, and your previous Wen Shu was gone?"

Chen Jiu didn't accompany him to continue gossiping, but only asked directly, "What about others?"

"I'm going to the study. A young drunken man came just now, seeing that he was covered in soil, he should have walked a short distance, and he handed over a box when he met......" Liao Shi stopped without finishing his words, and then said: "Please believe, it is true that I didn't quarrel with him away."

Chen Jiu sighed secretly, and said, "What's the matter with the pharmacist looking for me?"

"Two things." Liao Shi didn't go around in circles with her anymore, and said slowly with a deep groan: "First, like this kind of strong tea, he shouldn't drink too much, and his usual diet is still based on tonics, which you must pay attention to." Second, he just asked me for a drug, in order to adjust the formula ratio, you need to observe some of his usual daily life rules and hand them over to me, such as sleep time, diet amount, etc., and I will write you a list of details later. Only you can do these two things, because for now, he only listens to you. ”

A sad look gradually appeared on Chen Jiu's face, and he said softly: "I can't hide it, it is precisely because he needs tonics that the imperial doctor will prescribe this kind of tea for him." Only in this way will he not spit out the meat soup he has just eaten. ”

"The bad symptoms have become like this!" Liao Shi's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "It seems that he will take the initiative to ask me for medicine, and it is also because he can't bear it anymore."

Hearing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help asking, "What did you all say just now?"

"It's kind of something to do with the medicine." Recalling his conversation with Lin Shan just now, Liao Shi suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked, "Do you know the details of his visit to the female spy?"

Chen Jiu nodded and said, "I heard that the female spy has died a long time ago, and the body has been hidden under the bed for several days, and the bag containing the corpse is wrapped in three layers, and when it is opened, it has already begun to rot."

"No wonder, no wonder......" Imagining the scene when the body bag under the bed was opened, Liao Shi couldn't help frowning slightly. He was not afraid of carrion, but considering that the person who opened the body bag was Lin Shan, whose senses had begun to deteriorate, and how much pain the smell of decay would bring to Lin Shan, it would pull a string in his heart that rarely stumbled, making him feel slightly uncomfortable.

After being silent for a moment, Liao Shicai spoke again and said slowly: "You should also know that he has three senses that are different from ordinary people now, if you let him get close to the corpse that is beginning to decompose, it is estimated that he will not have a good appetite to eat half a bowl of rice in the past few days." If there were other guards present just now, with his character, he would definitely be able to hold on and not move. ”

Liao Shi's speculation was exactly what made Chen Jiu often worried, so she also frowned when she heard this, and said, "But I think what he reminded me earlier was not wrong, and this matter should indeed not be publicized, otherwise it will cause a lot of disadvantages to him."

Liao Shi nodded: "I also understand this."

After a moment of contemplation, he reached out and pulled over the medicine box resting on the table and opened it. Chen Jiu stood very close to him, and saw that there were about 20 bottles and cans in the medicine box. Don't look at himself as a little raunchy, although there are many items in his medicine box, they are all very neatly arranged.

His gaze swept inside, and he quickly fixed on one of the bottles and took it out. After glancing at the character engraved on the bottom of the bottle, he handed the bottle to Chen Jiu and instructed: "This kind of seed dulls the sense of taste, give him one every day, so that he can eat for a few days." But remember, don't give him the whole bottle, because the properties of this medicine are not yet fully equipped. ”

Hearing the last half of Liao Shi's words, Chen Jiu's hand, who had just taken the small medicine bottle, couldn't help but tremble, but she quickly clenched the bottle like a life-saving straw, and nodded at Liao Shi-
