On the morning of the third day, many outsiders suddenly came to the town where He Wan'er was staying.

In a village three miles outside the town, Xiao Jing was leisurely sipping tea at a tea stall.

Although he agreed to Madame Bai's request, this did not mean that he had to accompany the other party in person.

It is true that Xiao Jing's harboring He Wan'er, a remnant of the Hundred Immortal Sect, is already a capital crime, even if there is another capital crime, it seems that it is nothing, after all, he has no second head to cut off - but he must take into account the feelings of the Xia family after all, and he can't use the power of his family to swagger around the market, cause trouble, and make it difficult for his father-in-law.

"Uncle, let's go back." An elderly attendant hesitated to express his concerns: "This place is too close to the place where we met, and if something happens, you will still be involved...... Alas. ”

Xiao Jing knew that people were kind-hearted, and he also knew what his subordinates were thinking.

In their opinion, Xiao Jing shouldn't have come at all!

There has just been such an incident in the palace, and now it is the time when the wind is at its tightest, and there may be how many secret agents outside...... It's too late for others to hide from things, it's better for him to simply help the leader of the Hundred Immortals Sect find his relatives, what kind of trouble is this?

Xiao Jing put down the teacup and said warmly, "Second Uncle Gu." I have my own way in this matter, so you don't have to worry. ”

He looked up at the sky and said with a smile, "I guess we can go back in one hour at most." You shouldn't be able to enter the city before closing the city gate, so you can take everyone to prepare for the night in Puhua Town. ”

Since my uncle had made a decision, Second Uncle Gu didn't say anything more, and went away.

Xiao Jing looked at the guards around him who were on guard in the light and in the dark, all of them seemed to be facing a great enemy, and sighed faintly.

"Help her find her family" is a promise of Xiao Jing to He Wan'er. Now that Wan'er thinks about it day and night, he has found him directly, if he ignores it or excuses it, I am afraid that he will be uneasy for the rest of his life.

At this moment, the mother and daughter should be hugging and crying, right?

In fact, this is not the only reason that makes Xiao Jing determined.

After meeting that day, he caught the real thing that really struck him strange by reminiscing.

The aroma of the White Lady...... Seems to be mixed in with something else?

In that small room, Xiao Jing had smelled the woman's body fragrance between his breaths, and he had also smelled a stronger smell of incense. However, there seems to be another flavor in addition to this: although it has been firmly suppressed by the aroma, it always lingers, and people are very concerned about its presence.

After returning home, Xiao Jing passed by an aisle, where a subordinate was decocting medicine.

At that time, he reacted completely:

That's right, the smell I smell is the smell of medicine!

Xiao Jing is not Mrs. Bai's lover, and Mrs. Bai doesn't need to do anything crooked about a junior...... Well, there is only one reason why she made the aroma so heavy:

She's trying to hide something!

What kind of person will be smelled from the body, and the smell can't even hide the aroma of the room?

The shopkeepers and guys in the pharmacy who catch medicine for people all day long and decoct medicine on behalf of others should be like this, Xiao Jing has seen a lot.

However, it is obviously impossible for Madame Bai to have anything to do with such a place.

Ordinary people who are sick and drink one or two pairs of medicines will not be contaminated with any obvious taste. Then, there is only one kind of person left who may have such a situation: the patient who lingers on the sickbed!

After coming to Darui, Xiao Jing visited many serious patients because of his work. People in this era do not like ventilation because they are afraid that the patient will be infected with the wind and cold and aggravate the condition, and the patient has to take a lot of decoction on weekdays, and the whole body is full of medicinal smell for a long time; Even if a person is eventually healed, it will take a long time for the smell to disappear.

In this way, the answer is already on the horizon.

There are two more pieces of evidence to support this speculation.

Madame Bai's face was still beautiful, but even after considering the possibility of applying powder, her face was still a little unnaturally white. If the makeup is removed, it should be a sickly white face.

In addition, Xiao Jing and others saw the slag spilled on the road when they came. Although there are several families nearby, it is not certain that this medicine is taken by Mrs. Bai, but if it corroborates the situation mentioned above, it will make people suspicious.

It is worth mentioning that one of his retinues is a little skilled in medicine. This person also muttered after seeing the medicine residue: "What kind of tiger and wolf medicine is this......

Xiao Jing turned his head to look in the direction where He Wan'er was, feeling a little sad in his heart.

If what he expected was right, Madame Bai should have been seriously ill and even died soon—then Wan'er's first and last sight of her mother may also be the last.

Therefore, the white lady found herself regardless of it, and put down the shelf of her elders and pleaded vigorously......

Xiao Jing fully understood the mother's thoughts.

It was because of this that he was able to seriously facilitate this meeting despite the opposition of others......

I don't know how long it took, a gust of wind gently blew across Xiao Jing's face. A few birds landed happily not far away, pecking at something on the ground, and the soft cry finally pulled him out of his gloomy mood.

Xiao Jing stood up and said, "Let's go." ”

A few people around me responded. They were about to lead their horses when they saw a light figure galloping from a distance.

Xiao Jing signaled that nothing was wrong and let that person bump into him.

"Brother Jing!"

He Wan'er, who was dressed in men's clothes, shouted these three words with a slight cry, but stopped with a "sudden brake" a few steps away from Xiao Jing.

She knew how sensitive her identity was, and she knew she was going to get people in trouble.

"Have you seen that lady?"

Xiao Jing smiled gently and walked slowly in front of her.

If it was a few years ago, he could still rub Wan'er's hair, say a few words of comfort in a doting tone, or let the girl be coquettish like his sister in front of her brother, and vent all those inexplicable little emotions.

It's a pity that Wan'er is a big girl.

"I've seen my mother...... Madame White. ”

He Wan'er's face was filled with endless joy and deep sadness; These two emotions are extremely complicated intertwined, and Xiao Jing is even a little afraid to look at her little face with a mixture of joy and sorrow.

"Madame Bai sent a lot of good things to others, and she talked to them for a long time." He Wan'er, who was trying to control her emotions, finally smiled and said, "She said that she will come to see Wan'er again after a while, and she will stay with me for a longer time." ”

Xiao Jing's smile froze, and then his face remained as usual: "That's good." Seeing Wan'er so happy, even I'm happy for you. ”

He Wan'er let out a "hmm". Suddenly, she twisted a little and whispered, "Mother still said ......"

"Huh?" Xiao Jing smiled and said, "What else did Madame Bai say?" ”
