Chapter 176: Vigilance
Lin Zhizhou replied that he should be able to regain his sight after about two or three more acupuncture sessions.
"Isn't that then, in two or three days I will be able to see?" Tang Ningnan's words revealed a surprise that could not be concealed.
She can regain her sight, Lin Zhizhou is really happy for her, but Tang Ningnan's eyes are restored, which means that she will leave herself, once she returns to the palace, Tang Ningnan is the much-loved concubine, and he is the imperial doctor on an errand in the palace, there are rules and etiquette everywhere to imprison him, and even looking at Tang Ningnan more is a transgressive move.
But Tang Ningnan didn't seem to notice this at all, immersed in the joy that her eyes were about to regain her sight, shouting that she didn't have a good time going out today, and she had to let Lin Zhuohua take her to the beach she said in the morning.
Lin Zhuohua stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Tang Ningnan's eyes, frowned and said, "Sister Tang, are your eyes okay now?" Doesn't it hurt, do you want to take another break? ”
Tang Ningnan is now in high spirits, sitting motionless on the chair and letting Lin Zhizhou apply the needle, her neck hurts and her stomach screams, and now the soreness in her eyes is a little less than just now, she can't wait to go out and move her muscles and bones.
Coincidentally, Li Lanshi also took two guards to the house, and she could go with Tang Ningnan, so she could be taken care of by multiple people, so she didn't have to worry about safety.
"I heard Zhuohua say that the old man who bought grilled fish on the beach was a former long-term worker in Lin Mansion, Zhizhou, you can also go with us."
If you want to eat grilled fish, Tang Ningnan thinks it's best for everyone to go together, but the eldest sister Lin Guimu went to Pingliang to discuss business with the big customers there in the past two days, and she won't come back until tomorrow, so she can't go to eat grilled fish with them.
Lin Zhizhou originally wanted to refuse, but now that he is staying with Li Lanshi and Tang Ningnan, he always feels awkward, but Tang Ningnan's hospitality is difficult to resist, and he can't shirk it again and again.
"What, I'm afraid that my appetite is too big and I'll make your Lin Mansion poor?" Tang Ningnan said to Lin Zhizhou in a joking tone, but he didn't expect Lin Zhuohua to take it seriously, shouting: "How can there be."
also said that he would take Tang Ningnan to eat all kinds of snacks, as long as she stayed here.
So the group slowly came to a secluded beach, the sun was sinking in the west, the sea breeze was blowing, and the leisure was abnormal.
"Uncle Zhou, I want five grilled fish and a pot of wine." Zhuohua jumped to a thatched house by the beach and said to a man in his fifties and sixties below.
"Okay, okay." The old man's smiling eyes narrowed into a slit, and he turned his head to look at Tang Ningnan and Li Lanshi who were following behind, and said:
"The third lady has a guest at home."
Lin Zhuohua nodded, beckoning Tang Ningnan to come over and sit down.
Li Lanshi and Lin Zhizhou sat Tang Ningnan on the chair, and Zhou Bo took five coconuts and split them in front of several people.
Tang Ningnan had a strong nose, and he smelled the coconut without seeing it.
She had been staying in the capital north of Daliang, she hadn't eaten this tropical fruit for a long time, and she was busy asking Li Lanshi to help her dig out the coconut meat.
Li Lanshi looked at the brown outside and the white bump on the inside, confused, "This thing, can you eat it?" ”
Lin Zhuohua still lived in the south for a long time, and dug out the coconut meat for Tang Ningnan and put it in a small bowl for her to eat, and poured the coconut water into the cup next to her.
Tang Ningnan doesn't like to drink, it just so happens that this coconut water can replace wine and can be drunk with everyone.
Uncle Zhou's grilled fish here is fished out of the sea every day, it is remote here, and there are few people who come, so Uncle Zhou doesn't have to catch much fish every day, every time a guest comes, he will kill and grill it, and put it back into the sea if it can't be sold out on the same day, if it is sold out on the same day, even if there are guests coming later, he will also collect the stall and go home.
Although the way of operation is very freewheeling, because Zhou Bo's craftsmanship is good and the raw materials are fresh, people who have eaten once or twice generally become frequent customers.
He not only grilled fish here, but also roast beef, Tang Ningnan's favorite sauce is eaten with roast beef, according to Zhou Bo, it is a sauce made of green plants such as coriander, oregano grass, and mint leaves.
"Do you have orange peel in it?" Tang Ningnan said.
Zhou Bo responded: "The girl's tongue is good, and there is indeed some orange peel in it."
In the mouth, the beef is tender and the sauce is refreshing, complementing each other well.
This is a delicacy that Tang Ningnan has never tasted throughout ancient and modern times, and she is full of praise for it, it is really in vain that she came here with the soreness of her eyes, thinking that the power of her foodie is still strong.
The roast beef was so delicious that even Li Lanshi, who had just been a little restrained, feasted on it, and everyone was a little drunk with a glass of warm wine.
Are you here to find Concubine Xiao or to have fun? Li Lanshi asked rhetorically in her heart, and when she raised her eyes, she saw two people squatting sneakily under a tree in the distance.
"Mother, be careful!"
Seeing that the man had a bow and crossbow in his hand, and the arrow was on the string, he was about to breathe out.
Li Lanshi jumped up and pounced on Tang Ningnan, and the arrow that came from her was inserted into the pillar of the hut.
When the people under the tree saw that they had not hit, they turned and fled.
Zhou Bo seemed to be a person who had experienced the world, and he was not frightened by this arrow, but took out a hoe from the side of the stove, intending to chase it in the direction where the arrow was fired, but was stopped by Li Lanshi.
"It's not clear how many of them there are, so don't rush to catch up." Li Lanshi stretched out her hand and stopped Zhou Bo, who was holding a hoe.
He turned his head to Tang Ningnan and said, "Looking back, today's carriage is also for you, Niangniang, I'm afraid it will be dangerous to stay outside, Niangniang should go back to the house first."
"Who are you?" Uncle Zhou heard Li Lanshi call this girl with a face, he was puzzled, he could see from the beginning that Tang Ningnan couldn't see with his eyes, but he didn't mention it for fear that he would ask inappropriately, but how could a woman who couldn't see with his eyes be a mother?
Lin Zhizhou said: "I don't have time to explain, let's go back to the house first, Uncle Zhou, you also took the stall and went home, the people just now found out that you and Ning Nan were together, I'm afraid they will also take action against you."
Although he didn't know what was going on, he was sure that the girl who was born in front of him might have been hunted down, he had been on an errand in Lin Mansion, and the previous master was very good to him, Lin Zhizhou seemed to be very interested in this girl, and Zhou Bo also wanted to do a part, so he said that he knew some martial arts and could go to Lin Mansion to help guard it.
The person who assassinated Tang Ningnan must have been sent by Sima Shuhua, but at present, the enemy is dark and I am clear, and they don't know how many people are sent by Concubine Hua, Lin Zhizhou thought that it would be good for Zhou Bo to come to help, so he agreed to his request.
So the group immediately packed up their things, put out the fire, and rushed back to Lin Mansion.
Tang Ningnan's eyes were not good yet, and the situation was very unfavorable at this time, Li Lanshi called the guards who were resting in the inn and surrounded the Lin Mansion to ensure that no one would poison Tang Ningnan again.
"I didn't expect to be rescued when I fell into the water, but it affected your Lin family." In the Lin Mansion, Tang Ningnan spoke.
"What did Miss Tang say, since you are a good friend of Zhizhou, how can we have a reason not to save us when we see death."
I thought that Lin Guimu would come back tomorrow, but I didn't expect everyone to come home and find that she had already returned.
Looking at the posture of Li Lanshi's group of people, Lin Guimu was more sure in his heart that Tang Ningnan was not an ordinary person's guess, but he did not declare the doubts in his heart, Lin Zhizhou was on an errand in the palace, sometimes he didn't say it, there must be his reason, after all, the identity of the people in the palace cannot be easily exposed.
"It's because of me that I'm putting you in possible danger now."
Thinking of Lin Zhizhou's affection for him, Tang Ningnan felt even more unhappy in his heart.
"Okay, Miss Tang, don't worry, didn't this son bring a lot of hands? Plus my family in Lin Mansion, we are staying in the mansion, safer than anywhere, you don't have to worry because you will affect us, the most important thing for you now is to take care of your eyes. ”
Lin Guimu is right, if she doesn't cure her eyes as soon as possible, if Concubine Hua's people come to attack Tang Ningnan again, she can't see with her eyes, which is very unfavorable to the whole situation.
But Lin Zhizhou still rejected Tang Ningnan's request to administer the needle again today.
"No matter how urgent the situation is, it can't be solved overnight, you have a good rest tonight, and I'll get a needle for you tomorrow." Lin Zhizhou said.
In this way, Tang Ningnan had no choice but to give up, Concubine Hua was on the dragon boat, even if she wanted to be unfavorable to her, she was beyond her reach.
With the manpower brought by Li Lanshi, it should be enough to resist the killers hired by Concubine Hua.
On this night, some of Li Lanshi's subordinates were under martial law outside, and Li Lanshi herself took another part to guard outside Tang Ningnan's door.
Fortunately, the night was peaceful, Tang Ningnan slept peacefully, and soon the next morning, after breakfast, she asked Lin Zhizhou to carry out a second acupuncture treatment for herself.
In this treatment, the soreness of the eyes was not as strong as the first time, but the effect did not seem to be obvious for the first time, and Tang Ningnan could only feel the faint light and couldn't see what was in front of him.
This made Tang Ningnan a little anxious, and at this time, she didn't want to be a burden to everyone at all, so that everyone could protect herself.
Lin Guimu, who saw Tang Ningnan's anxious psychology, had been beside her to comfort her, telling her that the current environment in Lin Mansion was very safe, and asked her not to worry.
Li Lanshi led all the first-class guards in the palace, if she fought hard with the people hired by Concubine Hua, she could fight her way out for a day and bring Tang Ningnan back to Feng Feihan's side, but due to her eye disease, things became all kinds of inconvenient.
So much so that Li Lanshi once wanted to send someone to find Gao Siyuan and ask him to send some more people back.
I don't know if it was because the person who assassinated Tang Ningnan in the past saw that Lin Mansion was heavily guarded, but on the third day, there was no abnormal situation.
Lin Zhizhou also gave Tang Ningnan the third acupuncture treatment step by step.
Carefully applying the needle and piercing the acupuncture points around the eyes, the feeling of soreness hit, Tang Ningnan felt peaceful in her heart, because she subconsciously felt that this feeling of soreness was a sign that the eyes were recovering their vision.
