Chapter 9 The road is narrow
It was already three poles in the morning, and Jinsu woke up, and on the first night in Kyoto, he slept very well.
"Bai Qi", usually, the first person Jin Su calls when he gets up is Bai Qi. When I was a child, when I was still studying art in Luoqi Mountain, I was not the master of the Dark Night Gate at that time, and I didn't have such a heavy burden on my shoulders, so I was mixed with Bai Ji all day long, and I never even slept apart.
Bai Qi seemed to be waiting outside the door at any time, and as long as Jinsu called softly, she pushed the door in.
With a spring breeze on his face, he said, "Master, did you sleep well?" ”
"Not bad, ah......" she asked, stretching her waist, "what time is it?" ”
Bai Qi prepared his clothes and handed them over, "It's past noon, today, Uncle Shi came twice, and when he saw that you didn't get up, he couldn't bear to call you, so he sat down and left."
"Oh, let's go to the pharmacy and see if there's anything we need help with."
This medicine shop, called Jiahe Medicine Shop, was opened by Kong Yi in Kyoto in the early years. However, he often wandered around earlier, and he also had to manage the Night Gate, so he didn't put much energy into this medicine shop, and the original intention of opening it was just to make it more convenient for him to get medicinal herbs.
Nowadays, the medicinal materials of Jiahe Pharmacy are of high quality, and they have been selected into the royal medical hall, which can be described as extremely honorable. In addition, he personally sat in the Jiahe Pharmacy to see a doctor, so that today's Jiahe Pharmacy is also quite famous and status in Kyoto, and everyone knows about it.
"Master!" As soon as Jin Su stepped into the door of Jiahe Pharmacy, he called out sweetly.
Kong Yi continued to rummage through the cabinets to check the medicinal herbs, but glanced at her with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth, "Little lazy pig, you can wake up!" ”
"Master," Jin Su called out to Kong Yi and helped him check the medicinal herbs together. This kind of work is all too familiar to her. I think back then, when I was a beginner in medicine, I didn't go through the cabinet of medicinal materials.
"Went out again last night?" Kong Yi asked.
"Hmm!" She knew that she couldn't hide anything in front of her master.
"You......"
"Buckle button", there was a knock on the door, and Jin Su and Kong Yi looked towards the door together.
A small man stood at the door, and when he saw Jin Su beside Kong Yi, he was still a little stunned, and he didn't know whether to continue.
Kong Yi asked softly, "What's the matter?" ”
The little guy came back to his senses, "Oh, someone else is coming to see a doctor." Dr. Liu said that he would like to invite you to go in person. ”
"Okay, you go first, tell him I'll be right away." Kong Yi still said so gently.
This Dr. Liu is a doctor invited by Kong Yi, one is to manage the pharmacy on a daily basis, and the other is to see some simple patients, if he can't see it, like now, he will ask Kong Yi to go with him.
Kong Yi turned his head to Jin Su and said, "Since you are here, don't be idle, check all the remaining medicinal materials here." ”
"Yes, master!" Jin Su nodded respectfully in agreement, such a familiar and relaxed feeling made both of them feel comfortable, and they looked at each other and smiled.
Unlike other pharmacies, there are more than a dozen independent rooms inside, just like an inn. This is specially designed by Kong Yi, firstly, one person and one room during the consultation, so as to ensure that their illness is not known to outsiders; The second is also to facilitate the rest of the patient.
"Oops, it's finally good!"
"Master, come, wipe your hands first", Bai Qian handed a towel to Jinsu, "I'll pour you another glass of water." ”
"Good!"
The little guy who had just spoken looked at the door, but he didn't dare to come in, because he was embarrassed.
Jinsu had no choice but to stop him, "Hey, what's your name?" ”
The little guy cowered in, didn't dare to look at Jinsu, lowered his head and said, "The little one is called Qihe."
"Nanakawa, do you have something to tell me?"
The little guy nodded, still keeping his head down, "Doctor Kong said, you can clean up and go upstairs to help." ”
"Good! Got it. ”
After the little guy finished speaking, he turned around and left, but Bai Qian said with some amusement, "He is not like other shopkeepers at all, and he is too timid." ”
Jin Su patted the hem of his shirt, and went upstairs with Bai Qi to find Kong Yi one after the other.
Originally, I was still thinking about how to find so many rooms. Unexpectedly, at this time, a door opened, Kong Yi poked his head out and shouted, "Su'er, here." ”
Entering the room, there was a man lying on the bed, with a lot of silver needles on his back, listening to the sound of breathing, he was probably asleep. Next to him stood an expressionless retinue, still holding a sword in his hand, looking at their master and apprentice very vigilantly.
"Su'er, after a stick of incense, you take off all the silver needles on his back, and go to help him dispense medicine." After Kong Yi instructed Jin Su, he said to the attendant, "Don't worry, this is a disciple below, and he can take charge of himself." ”
The attendant still looked at Jin Su vigilantly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, just watching.
Jin Su knew that this entourage was the same kind of person as them, but it was really embarrassing to be stared at like this, and he just wanted to complete the task assigned by the master quickly and leave.
When the time finally came, she sat down in front of the bed, pulled out the silver needles one by one, and then burned them on the oil lamp, and pinned them in the silver needle bag in turn.
Until the last silver needle was pulled out, Jin Su breathed a sigh of relief.
The man lying on the bed was about to wake up, and he turned sideways when he moved his muscles and bones, and on this side, Jin Su immediately noticed the jade pendant on his waist. It's exactly the same as the jade pendant of the man in black two days ago.
When I looked up, it was him.
Before the man could react, Jin Su grabbed the knife in the silver needle bag and put it against the man's neck, "Where's my jade pendant?" ”
The entourage on the side also quickly drew his sword and pointed it at Jinsu, and at the same time, Bai Qi also drew his sword and pointed it at him.
All of a sudden, the situation was tense and no one could move.
"It turns out that you are really the apprentice of Doctor Kong, heh."
In the face of the man's frivolity, Jin Su was too lazy to take care of it, he only had the lost piece of mutton fat white jade in his heart, and after using a little bit of force, some blood beads oozed out when he saw it, and said fiercely, "Where is my jade pendant?" ”
The sword that the entourage put on Jinsu's neck also used a little force, and Bai Qi was not a vegetarian, and when he was about to exert his strength, Kong Yi happened to come in with medicine.
"Eh, what are you doing here?"
"Uncle Shi, that person took the master's jade pendant." Bai Qi pouted in the direction of the man on the bed.
Kong Yi naturally knew the significance of this jade pendant to Jinsu, and hurriedly put down the medicine bag and walked to the bedside, "This son, is my apprentice's jade pendant really your take?" ”
"Where's the jade pendant?" Jinsu continued to ask.
"Can you put down the weapon first," the man carefully pushed away the knife in front of his neck, and slowly felt the jade pendant on his waist.
When Jin Su saw the jade pendant, he snatched it, and then put down the knife in his hand, and Bai Qi and the entourage also slowly put away their swords.
"There must be some misunderstanding, right?" Kong Yi played a round on the side.
"Misunderstanding?" Bai Qi was very unwilling, and looked at the man on the bed with disdain, "He is revenge, he was seriously injured that day, it was our master who saved him, and placed him in the inn to recuperate, not only did he not take a penny, he even took the master's most beloved jade pendant, which is nothing, and even arranged for someone to assassinate me and the master!" ”
Kong Yi was not as good-tempered as he was just now, and watched the man's eyes gradually drift away and became vigilant.
"No, no, no, misunderstanding, really misunderstanding," the man on the bed glanced at his entourage, and then continued to explain, "I was in a coma for too long, and I woke up and didn't find this jade pendant," he pointed to the jade pendant on his waist, "And you and your master are missing, so I have to be suspicious, as for the assassination, it should be that my subordinates have misunderstood my meaning, and they will be severely punished when they go back, I hope that Doctor Kong and this apprentice of yours must understand." ”
Jinsu and Bai Qi didn't seem to accept the man's statement, and there was no pitfall.
"Since it was a misunderstanding, it has been made clear now, and the jade pendant has been taken back, and there will be no entanglements in the future. Luckily? Kong Yi coordinated in the middle, and this intention was not to offend people within two days of her arrival in Kyoto, and she was also the person in front of her who didn't seem to be friendly and very powerful.
Seriously, if it weren't for Kong Yi's medical hall, Jinsu would never be so forbearant at this time. Not to mention arranging a killer to deal with them, just by stealing her jade pendant, she will definitely not give up, and after the big deal, she will forget her worries one by one. But the premise is that you can beat it.
"Forget it, since the master has said so, so be it. Baiji, let's go. ”
