Early the next morning, when Jiang Xiaobai woke up, there was no trace of Mu Xiaoshuang in the guest room, washed up for a while, and when he went out, he saw Mu Xiaoshuang cooking breakfast, and the old gentleman was packing up the burden that was about to go out.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaobai woke up, Mu Xiaoshuang came to the cooked breakfast, glanced at Jiang Xiaobai a little proudly, and said, "You are blessed to be able to taste Miss Ben's craftsmanship."

Jiang Xiaobai picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, it tasted good, but he didn't expect Mu Xiaoshuang, as the daughter of the Zhang family, to cook like an ordinary woman, so he couldn't help but praise it. After yesterday's experience, Mu Xiaoshuang seemed to have put down a lot of shelves towards Jiang Xiaobai, making it more real.

Mu Xiaoshuang heard Jiang Xiaobai praise himself, his little face couldn't help but turn red, and he hurriedly lowered his head to eat breakfast so that others would not find out. After the three of them had eaten breakfast, they discussed setting off immediately. Although the old gentleman is old, he also lives in Wanshi Mountain all the year round, and when he moves in the mountains, his pace is not much slower than that of Jiang Xiaobai and Mu Xiaoshuang, and he does not need to be supported by the two, which can be said to be old and strong. He was very familiar with the grass and trees in the mountain, and came down from the belly of the mountain all the way down to explain a lot of knowledge about medicinal herbs to Jiang Xiaobai and the others, which also benefited Jiang Xiaobai a lot.

Jiang Xiaobai was already full of admiration for the old pharmacist in front of him at this time, so he said: "The old gentleman is really knowledgeable about medicine, which has benefited Xiaobai a lot. I don't know if the old gentleman knows about the wild snake sunflower."

The old gentleman was stunned at first, and then smiled and said: "This wild snake sunflower grows in this Wanshi Mountain, how can you not know." It is a poisonous weed, it is not poisonous on the outside, but its juice can be used as a poison primer, and the toxicity is not great, it can only make people fall into a coma, and there is no harm to the body. ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, this was no different from the statement in the pharmacist in the medical hall, so he asked again: "Can the old gentleman unravel this poison." ”

"It's not that difficult, as I said, this poisonous weed is not very toxic. In the early years, there were villagers who accidentally ate the wild snake sunflower, which was cured by old decay" The old gentleman touched the beautiful beard on his chin and said, "Jiang Gongzi, could it be that Ling Zun was poisoned by the wild snake sunflower?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "No, I heard that there were a few people in Guangfu City who had eaten the wild snake sunflower by mistake, but the pharmacists in the medical hall knew very little about this poisonous weed, and they couldn't come up with a way to detoxify it for a while... I wanted to beg the old gentleman to cure my father's illness and then go and see those people. ”

When the old gentleman heard this, he was moved, said a few good words one after another, and said with a smile: "Jiang Gongzi has a heart, it is a good thing to cure the disease and save people, and the old man will not delay." ”

Jiang Xiaobai arched his hand and said with a straight face: "Xiaobai is here to thank the old man!" ”

The three of them walked for a while, and they were almost at the foot of the mountain, when the old gentleman's body suddenly stopped, and he pointed to the grass not far away and said, "Jiang Gongzi, you see, that is the wild snake sunflower." ”

Jiang Xiaobai stepped forward, and when he took a closer look, he saw that there were a few zigzag rattans growing in the grass bushes, this rattan was big in front and small in the back, and there were red and green rings interspersed between the roots, and with the twists and turns, it really looked like a snake body lying in the grass. Jiang Xiaobai had a plan, so he broke off a few wild snake sunflowers in the grass irrigation, wiped the juice off the broken place, and put it in his arms.

Mu Xiaoshuang also followed, and when he saw Jiang Xiaobai like this, he asked suspiciously: "Hey, are you hiding something from me, I listened to your conversation with the old gentleman just now, someone in Guangfu City mistakenly ate the wild snake sunflower?" How I haven't heard of it. ”

Jiang Xiaobai finished the few wild snake sunflowers left in the grass shrub and put them in his arms, and then said, "Miss Mu, I think it's time to tell you something..."

After Mu Xiaoshuang heard this, he pouted and said angrily: "Okay, you Jiang Xiaobai!" Miss Ben has traveled through mountains and rivers to bring you to find the old gentleman, but you have so many things to hide from me and don't trust me! ”

Jiang Xiaobai touched his nose and said with an embarrassed smile: "I didn't mean to hide it from you, what happened to the Jiang family before, I have to take it step by step..." ”

Mu Xiaoshuang listened to Jiang Xiaobai's sincere voice and sincere tone, and the anger in his heart had disappeared a lot, and he hummed: "You misunderstood, this... Miss Ben won't be angry about such a trivial matter" When the words fell, seeing Jiang Xiaobai looking at her with a strange smile, she couldn't help blushing, and said, "Let's go, it's been so long, the old gentleman is in a hurry." After that, he ignored Jiang Xiaobai and turned to leave. Jiang Xiaobai laughed and followed.

After a short time, the three of them came to the foot of the mountain, and the old gentleman led the way around the big stone blocking the mountain road, and came out of Wanshi Mountain. Going all the way south, because the old gentleman was too old to travel long distances, the three of them rested for another night in Jinxian near Wanshi Mountain, and hired a carriage before rushing again. The two horses of Zhangfu were naturally good horses, but because they hired a carriage and didn't want the old gentleman to be tired, the speed of the three of them was not fast when they went south from Jinxian, and finally returned to Guangfu City when it was almost sunset.

Jiang Xiaobai got off the horse, his expression was already a little tired, and said, "Miss Mu, thank you so much in the past two days, I will take the old gentleman back to the house and see my father." ”

"You have to settle the old gentleman, I will go back to Zhang's Mansion first, I will go out for two days, the family must be in a hurry" Mu Xiaoshuang yawned, and told Jiang Xiaobai again, generally treating the old gentleman well, and visiting the old gentleman another day.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded again and again and sent Mu Xiaoshuang away. He turned around and got into the carriage again, and asked, "Old man, I have arrived in Guangfu, and I have been tired all the way, why don't you rest for one night first, and then go to the house tomorrow to see my father?" ”

The old gentleman sat in the carriage, looking a little tired, but still in good spirits: "I have been in Jinxian for a night yesterday, let's go to Ling Zun first, the old body is not tight." ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, said no more, pulled up the curtain and drove the groom to the west of Guangfu City.

....

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai's carriage left, the two big men in the shop on the side also put down the goods in their hands, looked at each other and nodded to each other, and left with them.

In the gloomy long alley in the south of Guangfu City, the middle-aged man was still sitting in the house with the doors and windows closed. "Bang bang" heard a knock on the door, and the middle-aged man called softly: "Come in"

The door opened, and the two people who came in were the two big men who had just looked at the goods in the shops in the north of the city, and one of them stepped forward and said respectfully: "Shopkeeper Qing, Jiang Xiaobai has returned to the city, and he is still carrying a carriage, and the person sitting in the carriage should be Langzhong, who was invited back from Wanshi Mountain, and he is heading towards the west of the city at this moment." ”

"Chengxi?!" When Qing Yunqi heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and frowned, "The Jiang Mansion should be in the east of the city, and the outskirts of the west of the city are He Feng's residence..." really let the old man guess that He Feng didn't die! It's just that the pharmacists in Guangfu City can't solve the poison in his body, so Jiang Xiaobai went to Wanshi Mountain to seek medical treatment."

"Okay, you Jiang Xiaobai, you are not big but very clever, and you want to deceive the old man under the guise of seeking a doctor for your father? No way! Qing Yunqi muttered to himself, and after a moment of silence, he said to the two big men again, "The third and fourth will go to He Feng's house immediately, if He Feng is not dead, let him open a dark arrow, and he must not be allowed to speak alive!" ”

The third child didn't promise immediately, thought about it, and said cautiously: "Shopkeeper Qing, if Sister Hong makes a move, He Feng should definitely die." This... Could it be that Jiang Xiaobai wanted to lure the snake out of the hole and set up an ambush for us. ”

The fourth child also said: "What the third brother said makes sense, should this matter be reported to the young master first, and let the young master decide?" ”

Hearing what the two big men said, Qing Yunqi's face turned cold, and he said angrily: "The third, the fourth!" What do you mean, do you not believe the old man, or the old man has no right to send you two"

"The subordinates don't dare!" The third and fourth children hurriedly lowered their heads and said respectfully.

Qing Yun bowed his head slightly, and said slowly: "Actually, what you said is not reasonable... It's just that everything has to be reported to the nephew, which will inevitably delay the opportunity. He paused, his eyes flashed, and he already revealed a burst of murderous intent, and said, "In this way, you bring more manpower, whether He Feng is dead or Jiang Xiaobai's little trick, you both..." Qing Yunqi stretched out his hand and made a neck movement, and said coldly: "Kill them all!" ”

"Yes!" The third and fourth children left in response.

After the two left, Qing Yunqi sat back in the chair, played with the teacup in his hand with one hand, and muttered to himself: "Jiang Xiaobai, Jiang Xiaobai... Don't blame the old man for being ruthless, you forced me."

PS: Because I have to sign a contract tonight, there is only one change, and the other one will be made up on another day!
