Xiushan County was already a winter moon at this time, but there was no howling cold wind and cold in the north, but it was just a faint chill in the night, through the clothes sticking to the warm skin of people, it felt like a layer of light yarn filtered by ice water inadvertently attached to the body, just a moment of cold, and then there was no feeling.

The night was accompanied by the chirping of nightingales, and soon the noisy bazaar was quiet, except for some ghostly enchantments and primitive ** in the night, everything was already silent.

In the west of the city, at the gate of a large house, two large stone lions shone in the cold light under the moonlight, and a black bird like a crow sat on the head of a stone lion, stopped for a while, and was suddenly disturbed by a voice, and flew into the darkness by rubbing the ground.

"Open the door...... Forehead...... To give...... Lao Tzu open the door, are you all dead? It's really ......."

I saw a tall man staggering to the door, still holding a wine jug in his hand, and the wine in the jug was dripping down, falling on the stone steps in front of the door, splashing everywhere.

In a moment, the door creaked open, and the man reached out and punched the person who opened the door, and the other party groaned, fell to the ground, and quickly got up to help the man.

"Steward Yang, how dare you drink today!"

"I ...... Why can't I drink, when I want to drink, I can drink whenever I want, what can he do to me? Hum...... If it weren't for me, his family business would have ...... long ago."

"Ouch, Steward Yang, be quiet, your wife is back."

Yang Guang's head seemed to have been suddenly hit hard with a stick from behind, and he was suddenly half awake.

"What...... What, who did you just say came back? ”

The porter looked at the inner courtyard and quickly pulled Yang Guang into the room to talk.

"Your wife is back!" The porter lowered his voice, but said the word wife a little more heavily.

Yang Guang lifted the curtain on the window, looked at his room, and saw that there was no light, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Why didn't you say earlier, when did you come back, did Xiaocui come back with you? Say what you don't have? ”

Seeing that Yang Guang's appearance was in stark contrast to his previous arrogance, the porter smiled secretly in his heart, but his face was respectful and humble.

"I just arrived after dinner, Xiaocui came back with me, but it seems that I have lost a lot of weight, but my sister-in-law didn't say anything, but Xiaocui privately explained that if you come back and get drunk, let you not go back to the room, and talk about it early tomorrow morning."

Yang Guang smiled with relief: "Fortunately, there is still Xiaocui!" With that, he went to the inner courtyard.

"Steward Yang, where are you going?" The porter was in a hurry and chased out the door.

"What's the name, I'll go to the old man's room to have a look." Yang Guang motioned for the porter to speak quietly, and then took three steps and two steps towards the east wing.

"Who?" An old voice asked.

The door creaked open, and a dark figure entered, and soon the door was closed.

"Master, it's me, Yang Guang." The dark shadow groped to the bed, found the oil lamp and the tinder, and in a moment the room lit up.

I saw an old man in his seventies lying on the bed, with silver hair, thin body, and listlessness.

"Why are you here, how long have you been here?" The old man squinted his eyes and raised his hand to cover the light in front of him.

Yang Guang put the oil lamp farther away, poured a glass of water from the table and walked to the bed, helping the old man to get up: "Master, drink some water, the little one is not here today, probably those who are cheating and slippery have forgotten to serve you." ”

The old man first drank the water in the cup in one go, Yang Guang patted the old man on the back, and then found a cushion for the old man to lean on.

The old man smiled indifferently: "Fortunately, Xiaocui has been here, if you kid can think of coming to me today, I know that it must be your wife who is back, right?" ”

Yang Guang scratched his head and smiled.

The old man yawned: "By the way, listen to Xiaocui, your wife told her a family affair, and it is not in our Xiushan County." ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he was anxious: "This cowardly mother-in-law must know that I have an intention for Xiaocui, so she deliberately separated Xiaocui." ”

The old man squinted at Yang Guang: "Okay, you can find a place to make do for a while, the old man still wants to sleep for a while, don't you want to quarrel with me." ”

Yang Guang had no choice but to remove the cushion behind the old man and carefully help the old man to lie down.

Seeing Yang Guang's sad face, the old man said for a while: "You can dictate to anyone on weekdays, don't you even roar at me when you are anxious about Rui'er?" Why is there nothing you can do with your wife? ”

Yang Guang hurriedly said: "Master, where does the little one dare to roar at you and the young master, the small one has a thousand dares and doesn't dare to be disrespectful to you and the young master, isn't it?" ”

The old man smiled and said: "Okay, okay, I don't want you to show any loyalty to me, as the saying goes, one thing descends one thing, since you are afraid of her, then there is only the sacrifice of Xiaocui, alas, what a good girl." After speaking, he turned his face to the wall and gave Yang Guang the back of his head.

Yang Guang walked to the brazier in annoyance and turned over the fire with tongs, then walked to a low couch by the window and lay down in his clothes, his mind was in a mess, and he fell asleep in a daze.

At this time, just above Yang Guang's head, two black shadows quietly jumped down and quickly disappeared behind the rockery in the courtyard.

"Sister, I didn't hear anything, what do you say?"

"Don't worry, didn't Wen Hao say it before leaving? That Yang Rui's house is not far away, let this Yang Guang sleep well, and let's go to Yang Rui's place. ”

The two men were about to leave, when they suddenly saw a man coming from west to east, panting and his footsteps clanging.

Walking to the east wing, the man stopped, first went to the window to listen, and then whispered: "Xianggong, I know you are inside, come out for me!" ”

There was no movement in the room.

"If you don't come out, don't blame me for Luo Siniang's rudeness!"

Soon the door opened.

"Can't you wait until dawn to talk about anything?" Yang Guang closed the door, then pulled Luo Siniang aside and whispered.

"Hmph, since you have come out, and you are afraid of arguing with the old man, then you go back with me, I still have something to do with you."

There were two sudden coughs in the room, and the two quickly shut up.

"Yang Guang, you still stay with me, I will get up in a while, how can I get up if you are not here?" The voice in the room was slow and soft, but Luo Siniang outside the room didn't dare to say a word, just pinched Yang Guang's arm viciously, and Yang Guang sighed.

"Hurry up and bring me over at dawn, do you hear?"

"Got it, you go back to sleep, it's not dawn yet, don't toss." After saying that, Yang Guang quickly slipped back to the old man's room and bolted the door as if he had received amnesty.

Luo Siniang spat at the door, muttered something in her mouth, and walked away.

"Let your wife toss like this, I don't want to sleep, light the lamp, and talk to me."

"Yes, wait a minute, I'll pour you a glass of water first, I must have poured some cool breeze in my stomach just now."

The lights were on, Yang Guang asked the old man to lie down, poured hot water for him to drink, and sat in front of the brazier with some preoccupations.

"Yang Guang, how are things going at the Yunfan Inn?"

Yang Guang was distracted, and when he heard this, he didn't react at once, and he sighed, looking at the old man and not speaking.

The old man laughed: "Do you think that if I ask you to get me some drowsiness medicine all day long, I will not know anything if I lie in this house?" ”

When Yang Guang heard this, he was even more stunned, and almost fell from the stool into the brazier.

"Sir, you ......"

The old man glanced at Yang Guang: "You entered the door of my Yang family at the age of seven, and I let you follow the surname of our Yang family, and it has been almost thirty years in a blink of an eye." ”

As soon as Yang Guang heard this, he walked to the bed and knelt in front of the old man's bed, trembling and not daring to speak.

"Yang Guang, in fact, you are a kind child, this old man knows that I am not sick, and you know this, but do you know why I still drink the medicine you prescribed to me every day?"

Yang Guang was so frightened that he didn't dare to raise his head, so he just said that he didn't know.

"Because Rui'er is my own grandson, he asked me to eat, and I ate it, and he hates me, so he hopes I can die early, right?"

"Master, it's not like this, it's not what you think, Shao Dong, he ...... Small sins deserve death, small ......" Yang Guang was incoherent, not knowing what to say.

The old man smiled: "You go back and tell Rui'er that my family business will be his, as for Yunfan Inn, forget it, don't be embarrassed for Du San, that's a good person, the second child owes him to take care of it before his death." ”

Yang Guang snorted: "Can ...... But ......"

"But what?"

"But that Du San suddenly disappeared."

"What?" The old man sat up from the bed at once, and suddenly he felt dizzy and collapsed on the bed.

Yang Guang hurried over when he saw the old man lying on the bed with a pale face, and he was immediately anxious, just as the door opened here, two people in night clothes appeared at the door.

Yang Guang didn't have time to think, he stretched out his hand and punched it, and he felt a burst of soreness under his ribs, and Yang Guang's posture suddenly froze.

"Who are you, don't hurt my master!"

"Hmph, you've become like this yourself, and you still want to save your master?" One walked to the bed and looked down at the old man, then gave the other a look, picked up the old man on the bed and walked out the door.

Yang Guang was about to scream when he saw it, but at this time, Yang Guang didn't even have a sound in his throat anymore.

"Tell you that the young owner has found Du San, and then we will naturally contact you, otherwise we will wait to collect your old man's body."

After speaking, the two of them carried the old man and disappeared into the darkness.

Du San disappeared, the news quickly spread all over Xiushan County, the streets and alleys are speculating, some say that Du Wenhao, a distant relative, murdered for money, but some people retorted, I heard that this Master Du has money, bought a big house in the suburbs of the city, and also bought a lot of land in the best area of Xiushan County, some of his subordinates opened rice shops, some people opened silk villages, and some even bought a flower boat, these are all costly, but these money are already there when people come to Xiushan County, This money can buy more than a dozen or even twenty Yunfan Inns, not only these, but even several of his wives are as beautiful as flowers, and their clothes are not ordinary people. Some people also say that Yang Rui saw that Du San refused to return his family business to himself, so he became murderous, and the latter statement is more so.

Just when everyone was talking about it, Du Wenhao left the Yunfan Inn with more than 20 people and moved to a place called Wanshou Lane on the outskirts of the city.

Three days later.

Yang Qianhu finally woke up, the green gauze was thin, there was light smoke, Yang Qianhu thought that he was dead, thinking that if this was the underworld, it would be much more comfortable than the dark room where he stayed, especially the smell of sandalwood here, his favorite smell at this time.

The curtain was lifted, and a woman with a delicate face and a maid stepped forward with a light smile.

"Master Yang, you're awake."

"Where am I, and who are you?"

"My name is Fan Xin, and this is Yunfan Villa."

Yang Qianhu was stunned, he must have died, and it must have been the shopkeeper named Du San who thought that he had asked someone to kill him, so he didn't let himself live in peace when he died, and he still had to live in Yunfan Villa.

Yang Qianhu struggled to get up, and at this time, a young man came in from outside the door, with bright eyes and bright teeth, a tall nose, deep eyes, thick eyebrows, and a tall figure.

"Master Yang, you just woke up, your body is still very weak, you still lie down well."

"Who are you?! How am I here? Yang Qianhu cautiously looked at the young man who came in.

Fan Xin on the side smiled and said: "Master Yang, at this time, our master, I just said that you are in Yunfan Villa, Yunfan is the name of our master." ”

Du Wenhao sat forward and went out.

Du Wenhao gave Yang Qianhu a pulse and said with a smile: "Do you feel better?" ”

Yang Qianhu took a good look at the young man in front of him, but he didn't remember that he recognized him, but Yun Fan was the name of his own brother, could it be ......

"Where the hell is this, what is the relationship between you and my second brother, why are you also called Yunfan?"

Du Wenhao smiled, he wanted to say that he didn't want to call this name either, but if he didn't call this name Du Wenhao, he was afraid that it would be more troublesome, his name was really interesting, Du San's surname, Yang Qianhu's younger brother's name, and there were people everywhere who doubted their motives and purposes.

"Master Yang, I don't know your second brother, this is my home, my name is Du Yunfan, and I am a Langzhong."

"But why don't I know you?" Yang Qianhu looked at Du Wenhao with a suspicious expression.

"It's normal for you to not recognize it, because I just arrived in Xiushan County, okay, your body is too poisoned, don't say too much, since you wake up, then I suggest that you take a medicinal bath, so that the effect is better."

Yang Qianhu was thinking in his heart, who is this person, why should he save himself, could it be that Rui'er's conscience found out and found this person to save himself, but then he thought about it wrong, Rui'er has Lang Zhong around him, and he will not find such a young person to see a doctor for himself, is it Yang Guang, no, let alone Yang Guang, although this child is not bad-hearted, but he will not have such a friend of Ruya Siwen.

Yang Qianhu's brain hurt, and when he saw the young man go out, an old man of the same age as himself came in after a while, followed by two subordinates, and came in with some basins in his hands.

Yang Qianhu: "That was your apprentice just now, right?" ”

Yan Miaoshou shook his head with a smile, and two more people moved in a large wooden barrel, and Yang Qianhu smelled the smell of Chinese medicine.

"No, that is the master who is under just now." Yan Miaoshou instructed his subordinates to prepare the potion, and then let the people pour the hot water into the wooden barrel, and suddenly the room was shrouded in mist.

"Master Yang, take a bath in wide clothes, your body must be well recuperated."

Yang Qianhu got up, and his subordinates helped him take off the clothes on his body, and carefully helped him to walk to the wooden barrel, he looked at Yan Miao's hand suspiciously, refusing to raise his legs to enter.

"Do you think my master will harm you, if it really harms you, at that time in your house, my lady and young lady didn't save you, and you would die, why spend this kind of time saving you to death, wouldn't it be too much?"

Yang Qianhu listened reasonably, and then carefully entered the barrel, and a small stool was placed in the barrel, and after sitting down, he could just lean on the edge of the barrel, which was very comfortable.

"You guys have half a pillar of incense and then bring the potion in, don't delay, understand?" Yan Miao's hand explained, and the subordinate retreated.

Yan Miaoshou found a high bench to sit beside Yang Qianhu, motioned for him to raise his hand, and then slowly pressed down from his shoulder and elbow, from light to heavy, all the way to the tips of his fingers, and so on.

"What's your name?" Yang Qianhu asked.

"Shou Miaoyan" Yan Miaoshou said to Yang Qianhu upside down his name according to the previous agreement with Du Wenhao.

Yang Qianhu: "Good name, but I don't understand one thing, your ...... Why did the master save me? I'm not related to him. ”

"Do you know who Du San is my master?"

Yang Qianhu thought about it, shook his head and said he didn't know.

Yan Miaoshou then slowly and logically said the pre-made statement to Yang Qianhu.

"What, you mean that the young man before was Du San's nephew? Why haven't I heard Du San talk about it before? Yang Qianhu was stunned.

Yan Miaoshou smiled indifferently, walked to the other side of Yang Qianhu and changed his other hand to massage him.

"I don't know much about this, this is a matter of the master and the shopkeeper Du, where do we dare to ask as apprentices."

"I see that you are the same age as me, how can there be such a young master?" Yang Qianhu looked disbelieving.

Yan Miaoshou smiled bitterly and told Yang Qianhu about the bet he had with Du Wenhao in the past, and Yang Qianhu couldn't help laughing.

"I can't see that this young man's medical skills are still good."

Yan Miaoshou nodded yes.

"I heard that Du San is missing, have you found it?"

Yan Miaoshou shook his head: "No, but it should be found soon." ”

Yang Qianhu was puzzled: "Why? ”

Yan Miaoshou looked at Yang Qianhu and smiled, and smiled weirdly: "Soon you will know." ”
