Chapter 130: Blackmail
As soon as the bandaged wound was opened, Ran Qiunian's face changed. No wonder Xiao Yin suddenly fainted, it turned out that the wound on his shoulder had not healed at all.
I don't know what poison Mr. Qing smeared on the arrow, and how much the antidote is true and how fake, under the gold sore medicine, the rest of the knife wounds have already healed, but the arrow wound on the shoulder has been repeated.
I have been busy in the past few days, and I have no time to take a closer look, who knows that this wound has not shown any signs of improvement, Ran Qiunian looks a little inflamed, and I don't know how long Xiao Yin gritted his teeth and held on.
Ran Qiunian's eyes were sour, and she almost shed tears in distress.
The door was suddenly pushed open, Ran Qiunian was startled by this movement, turned around to look, it turned out that this guy didn't know when he went and returned.
Because he came in suddenly, Ran Qiunian didn't have time to cover up Xiao Yin's wounds, and the guy saw the wounds on his shoulders.
Ran Qiunian noticed the look in the man's eyes towards Xiao Yin, got up to block it, looked at him with some displeasure and said, "What are you doing again?" Why didn't you know there was a sound before you walked in the door? ”
"Ouch, I'm sorry, girl, we are in the middle of nowhere, and there are few guests living in it all year round, so I forgot the rules for a while, and I won't be next time."
The guy hurriedly paid for it with a good voice, Ran Qiu Nian saw him like this, so he didn't care about it anymore.
It was the guy who looked at Xiao Yin thoughtfully, and asked tentatively, "The wound on this son's shoulder is caused by a sharp weapon, right?" It's really dangerous to look at. ”
"Don't bother you, you suddenly broke in, what's the matter?"
Ran Qiunian said with a stiff face, not planning to say anything more to the guys at this station.
Seeing Ran Qiunian's detached attitude, the guy was not annoyed, and hurriedly threw out the prepared words: "Let me ask the girl if you want to order something more?" Do you need someone to take care of that horse? ”
"Serve some light food and send a pot of hot tea. Feed the horses with some feed and water. Ran Qiu thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I'll go get ready." The man answered, and then went out of the house.
Ran Qiunian saw him leaving, so she walked over quickly and closed the door, this time she remembered it and locked it.
Just when Ran Qiunian was wiping Xiao Yin's wound and reapplying the medicine, the guy who went out to prepare to eat got together with the shopkeeper.
"How? What can be tempted? The shopkeeper sneakily pulled the man over, his eyes glancing over the closed door from time to time.
The girl was wary and said nothing. But I saw the wound on the man's body, it must have been a sharp wound, who would use that kind of iron in ordinary people? It must have been stabbed with a weapon by an officer or a bandit. ”
He lowered his voice and continued: "They have a lot of silver on them, and they can make a carriage, but they don't stay in the town, and they must be hiding in this poor country, and they may be the court's criminals!" ”
"Then we've caught the fat sheep this time." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands and laughed.
"Shopkeeper, what if they retaliate?" The guy is also ready to move, but he still has some sense.
"What are you afraid of, that man is so seriously injured, who knows how long he can live, they are hiding and hiding, even if they suffer a loss, they will definitely not dare to report to the official, for fear of what they will do?"
The shopkeeper slapped the guy on the head hard, and learned a lesson that hatred of iron is not steel.
The guy nodded again and again, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Alright, go get it and don't make her suspicious." The shopkeeper urged.
This time the guy finally remembered to knock on the door, and he didn't wait long before Ran Qiunian came over and opened the door, took the porridge soup from the guy's hand, and put it on the table.
"Does the girl have any other orders?" The guy asked politely.
"Is there a doctor around here?" Ran Qiunian pondered for a long time and asked.
The guy shook his head and said bluntly: "The nearest town will take a long time to get there, and we have a headache and brain fever on weekdays, so we go to the mountains and forests behind to pick some herbs to deal with it." ”
Even if you can find a doctor, you will never be able to invite someone here. The guy has a calculation in his heart.
Ran Qiunian didn't notice anything wrong, and when she heard the words, she just nodded a little disappointedly, turned around and closed the door.
She helped Xiao Yin to sit up and carefully fed some porridge and soup. After eating, Ran Qiunian stared at the wound on Xiao Yin's shoulder again.
"There is no doctor, no pharmacy, how can this arrow poison be dissolved? If the arrow poison is incomprehensible, the wound can only be good and bad like this, tossing people again and again. ”
Ran Qiunian muttered anxiously, the gold sore medicine was about to run out, and without the support of this medicine, the deterioration of the wound would only get more and more serious.
Just as Ran Qiunian was in extreme anxiety, a herb suddenly popped into her mind, although she couldn't remember the name, but the effect was clearly engraved in her mind.
Clear heat and detoxify, disperse knots and reduce swelling, and can detoxify erysipelas...... Pregnant! Ran Qiunian's eyes lit up, this herb is not rare to see in the mountains and forests, especially like to grow in the mountains and forests in the south.
Ran Qiunian quickly thought of what the guy had told him earlier, and decided to go to the forest behind to collect this medicine for Xiao Yin.
She looked at Xiao Yin, who was sleeping on the bed, a look of distress flashed in her eyes, she raised her hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for him, stood up and pushed the door open.
"What are you doing here?" As soon as the door was pushed open, facing the sneaky figure of the guy, Ran Qiunian couldn't help frowning.
"I'm just passing by, and I'm about to get some horse grass for the girl's horse, and I haven't kept this thing in the store, and the feed has to be freshly beaten." The guy explained, he looked at Ran Qiunian, and couldn't help asking, "Girl, is this going out?" ”
"There are no pharmacies or doctors here, so I naturally went to the back mountains to pick some herbs."
"How dangerous it is on the mountain, you are a woman's family, and it is not convenient to enter the mountain. Why don't you tell me what herbs you want to pick, and I'll pick them for you, just pay the money. ”
The last sentence of the guy revealed his thoughts, and Ran Qiunian just glanced at him lightly, shook his head and sighed: "I can't remember the name of that herb either, but if I see it, I will be able to recognize it, so I can only do this by myself." ”
After Ran Qiunian finished speaking, he closed the door, turned around the guy, and left.
The guy stood at the door and watched for a long time until the person disappeared completely, looking at Ran Qiunian's door, he couldn't help but move.
The door was pushed open by the guy, he tiptoed in, and when he saw the burden placed on the table by Ran Qiunian, he couldn't help but reach out and flip it up.
"This woman didn't leave the money bag in the house." The guy who got nothing couldn't help but curse, and turned his head to see Xiao Yin in a coma.
"These two people seem to have extraordinary backgrounds, and they must still have something of value hidden on them." The man's eyes rolled, and he was sure that Xiao Yin was so seriously injured that he would never wake up, so he leaned forward boldly, wanting to turn over the place where he could hide the silver.
Who knew that even if Xiao Yin was in a coma, his vigilance did not drop in the slightest, he felt the approach of the strange breath, and his body reacted immediately, he opened his eyes suddenly, and looked coldly at the approaching guy.
"Who are you?"
Although Xiao Yin's voice was a little hoarse, his momentum did not diminish at all. How could the guy have thought that Xiao Yin would wake up halfway, he already had a ghost in his heart, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere.
"I, I'm a guy at the post station, the girl who came with you went out to collect medicine, and asked me to take care of you when I left, I just came to take a look."
The guy is full of lies and speaks quickly, but in his heart he is beating the drums non-stop.
Seeing that Xiao Yin hadn't spoken for a long time, for fear of being exposed as a lie, he hurriedly turned around and forgot to go outside. Xiao Yin's consciousness was still in chaos, and the reaction just now was just a subconscious self-preservation of his body.
As for what the guy said and what he was doing, he didn't actually notice it, and after noticing that strange breath was far away, Xiao Yin closed his eyes again and fell asleep.
The guy thought that his act of stealing things had been seen by Xiao Yin, and his lies couldn't help but scrutinize, as long as Ran Qiunian came back and asked, he would find that he was panicking.
"What are you doing in a panic? Have you fed the horses? The shopkeeper came out and saw the man's unyielding look, and asked curiously.
"What are you feeding the horses, shopkeeper, the man woke up, and saw me rummaging over their baggage, what should I do now?" Dude is out of ideas.
"You brainless shit, anything bad will happen." The shopkeeper raised his hand to the man's head, slapped him a few times, and made a decision without stopping, "In this case, you can only cut the mess quickly, you go to ...... first"
The shopkeeper whispered in the man's ear.
When Ran Qiunian came back from outside, the guy was standing in the hall waiting for her, and when he saw someone coming in with a few handfuls of herbs in his hand, he glanced at it and found that he couldn't recognize what kind of herbs it was, so he coughed lightly and blocked in front of Ran Qiunian.
"Girl, the shopkeeper said, this post station is no longer rented, you have to settle the account quickly and move out today."
"What? Don't rent anymore? ”
Ran Qiunian was a little surprised, she said dissatisfiedly: "It's all open to do business, why do you say that if you don't rent, you won't rent, this is not in the village and there is no store in the back, where do you want me to go?" ”
"I don't care about this, the shopkeeper said, our land is small, but the price is not low, if you live again, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay for the house, so it's better not to rent."
Ran Qiunian was about to laugh angrily at this guy's unashamed words, it turned out that he was going to sit on the ground and raise the price, isn't it just silver? In order for Xiao Yin to be able to recuperate well, it doesn't hurt to have more.
"Silver is good to say, and you have seen that I am not a man who lacks silver. I can settle the bill first, but the inn house will have to be rented to me for at least a day. When my husband is better, I will not stay longer. ”
"You count the money first."
The guy rolled his eyes and said.
"How much silver you want, you can tell the number." Ran Qiunian said happily, this place is very poor and remote, they have only lived in it for less than half a day, and they only use some simple soup, how much silver can they want?
But to Ran Qiunian's surprise, this person really quoted a "sky-high price". Looking at his natural tone, Ran Qiunian said angrily:
"This silver is the best inn in Beijing, and you can live for a long time with good food and drink. I think you're deliberately trying to blackmail! ”
