On the second day, Shandong merchants arrived at the inn early in the morning and greeted each other first.

This merchant called himself Ruan Zhong, but he was the descendant of the Nguyen brothers, who were good men in Liangshan, and after Liangshan, their family moved to Qingzhou Mansion, and after hundreds of years, they still relied on water for draft, but the lake water from Liangshan Bo became the sea water of today.

Because they also heard that Zheng He was going to take action against the Japanese invaders, they also specially brought more people and some weapons from Shandong on this trip, intending to help.

"My people are all in Zhongshan Country now, I'm afraid that they will all be brought over to fight the grass and scare the snake, if Lord Ji is in need, I will go and return quickly, as long as two days can bring people to support."

Ruan Zhong said.

Ji Yan was very grateful to these merchants for their kindness, but he was also a little crying and laughing, this Ruan Zhong also knew that Zheng He was going to deal with the Japanese invaders, and it seemed that Zheng He's fleet was going to clean up the Japanese invaders, which had become a secret known to the people of the whole country.

It is said that it is to avoid startling the snake, but now the shadow of the snake has not been found, and the snake catchers across the country are shocked.

Don't think about these things for now, and then deal with the things in front of you.

Ji Yan then took Ruan Zhong to the window, pointed to the suspicious courtyard, and asked:

"Look at that family, there are five people in the family, are there any people in those wokes?"

Ruan Zhong carefully observed the five people in the family for a long time, his face was ashamed, he shook his head, and said:

"No, first of all, there was no person we saved at that time, that person was a young man, white and clean, a little like this son."

Speaking of this, he also pointed at Mei Yuning.

Mei Yuning was displeased, waved her hand and said:

"Speak well, you speak well, what do you mean."

"I just say that the young man is handsome and clean-skinned, not like he was born in an ordinary family like us, and even less like us who run boats, with rough skin and thick flesh, and exposed to the wind and sun. That's why I believed that he wasn't a Japanese coward, and he spoke Chinese fluently, so we were negligent at that time. ”

"What about the rest of the bungait?"

"The others, well, I was still in a daze, and I only saw a few backs and sideways, and it didn't look like I was following my family."

Hopes were dashed.

Ruan Zhong felt very guilty, he came with everyone's expectations, but it didn't make a difference.

Ji Yan comforted him and didn't say anything more.

Ruan Zhong went on to say that he also brought some glass gadgets that he planned to give to the king of Shanbei Kingdom, and Lin Anhe said that he also planned to go with him.

Ji Yan naturally agreed, and let them go busy with their own business.

Ji Yan and Mei Yuning looked at each other, and they didn't have any other ideas, so they still acted according to the original plan, today Ji Yan was squatting in the house and watching, and Mei Yuning went out to investigate.

Until sunset and dark, no one returned to the inn.

Ruan Zhong and Lin An Ho went to see the king, and someone from the palace reported that the king was very happy to see them, and wanted to feast the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Needless to say.

But what did Mei Yuning do?

Just thinking about it, Mei Yuning suddenly pushed the door in, clutching her chest in pain, her face was pale, and she staggered into the house.

Ji Yan hurriedly got up, helped him to the bed, and asked eagerly:

"What's wrong with you?"

Mei Yuning didn't lie down, she sat on the bed, holding Ji Yan's arm tightly with her hand, but she didn't have much energy in her hand, and she was weak when she spoke, and said to Ji Yan nervously:

"Brother Ji, I think I may have been poisoned!"

This sentence is not trivial, it scared Ji Yan a lot, looking at the red rash on his arm, he asked with concern, "How do you know?" This rash on your arm? Itchy or not? Does it hurt? ”

"I've been on my arms since the afternoon, and I have a terrible stomach ache and dizziness."

"Then have you met any special people and what have you come into contact with today?"

"No, this area is not too big, I've been out a few times, and today is the same as usual, I haven't met any special people."

"That's weird, then think about it, what did you eat or drink today?"

"What have you eaten?"

Mei Yuning was trying to recall, and whispered while thinking:

"Every time I go out, I buy two of their kind of rice balls at the same shop at noon."

After hearing this, Ji Yan felt that he had no clue, but he saw that although Mei Yuning seemed to have serious symptoms, he had no worries about life. Therefore, his heart relaxed a little, and he comforted him in a soft voice:

"Don't panic yet, I don't think you should have any particularly serious symptoms, and then think about it and see if you can recall any clues."

Mei Yuning acts calmly on weekdays, treats people a little coldly, and does not show his emotions, but now, like Ji Yan, he is far away from his relatives in his hometown, and he has suffered accidents, so at this moment, he is not as cold as before, and the whole person is at a loss.

Mei Yuning said to herself:

"It's nothing special."

As he spoke, his eyes were full of tears, his eyes were red and swollen, and he was about to cry.

He was about to cry, but he didn't know what to do, so he could only say:

"A big man, what are you crying about, take a good rest first."

Mei Yuning's tears still stopped in her eyes, staring at Ji Yan, and complained:

"It's not that you're poisoned, of course you're talking lightly."

As soon as he finished saying this, he exclaimed,

"Ahh

Mei Yuning seemed to remember something and said:

"I remembered, the owner of the rice ball shop was eating yuli at noon today, they also called yusheng, so they gave me a piece, it was a sashimi, I don't know what to eat, but they were warmly welcome, and I was embarrassed to refuse, so I still ate it."

Ji Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked:

"Have you ever eaten this fish before?"

"Fish belly?" Mei Yuning said confusedly:

"I've eaten fish before, and in Nanjing, my family often eats fish."

"I mean, the fish you eat today is the same as what you used to eat? Have you ever eaten this before? ”

"The one I ate today has no fish bones, I heard that it is a sea fish, but I haven't eaten it before."

Hearing this, I carefully asked him about his situation, and Ji Yan understood. Comforting him, he said:

"I know, you don't get in the way, you're not poisoned, you're allergic."

The second monk of Meiyu Ning was puzzled and asked:

"Allergies? What are allergies. ”

Ji Yan didn't know how to explain to Mei Yuning what allergies were, so he only comforted him: "It's just that I haven't eaten before, and my stomach can't accept it, so remind your body, it's not a big deal." I'll get you something to eat, and you can rest in a few days. ”

After that, he put Mei Yuning flat on the bed, got up and went out, Mei Yuning listened to this, thought about it, and seemed to have no more than a rash and stomach ache, so he was a little relieved and lay down.

The Japanese love rice, so Ji Yan asked the innkeeper what was in the store, so he went to the kitchen to get some glutinous rice porridge for Mei Yuning.

By the time he returned upstairs to the guest room with a bowl of porridge, Mei Yuning had already fallen asleep.

Towards midnight in the evening, Ruan Zhong and Lin An also came back drunk after the banquet.

The three of them chatted in the corridor outside Ji Yan's room.

There's new news again.

The king of Shanbei said that he had received news from the Ming envoys that Zheng He's fleet had set sail from Ningbo and was destined for Kyoto, the capital of Japan, and that the vassal states along the way should ensure the safety of the route, as well as the necessary reception if Zheng He's fleet needed to berth.

Time is running out.

Ruan Zhong and Lin Anhe were going to return to Zhongshan Country the next day, so they didn't talk much, Ji Yanmu sent them back to the guest room, turned around and went back to his room.

Mei Yuning woke up.

At this moment he was sitting on the bed, his hair disheveled, although his face and lips were still pale without a trace of blood, but his expression was much more relaxed.

Seeing Ji Yan enter the house, he leaked a pitiful expression and said:

"Ji Gongzi, I'm hungry."

"If you're hungry, you're already recovering." Ji Yan comforted him, and as he spoke, he brought the porridge on the table to the bedside, but fortunately, the porridge was still warm.

Mei Yuning drank the porridge, and after drinking it, she was satisfied, and went to sleep quietly.

Ji Yan looked at this Mei Gongzi blankly, a little distracted.

In the early morning of the second day, Mei Yuning had already improved a lot, the rash still had traces but it began to subside, and her stomach did not hurt anymore.

Sure enough, it's just an allergy.

However, after this illness, Mei Yuning usually takes care of it very neatly, and she is too lazy to tidy up her makeup at the moment, she still has her hair scattered and looks like a girl.

Ji Yan used his cooking skills again, in addition to a pot of porridge, he also made some vegetables.

Mei Yuning was stunned and praised: "I really can't see that your cooking skills are not bad, and you are very good at taking care of people." ”

Ji Yan smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "I have been lonely all my life, no one has taken care of me, so I naturally have to learn to take care of myself." ”

Mei Yuning looked at Ji Yan and didn't speak again.

After the meal, Ji Yan sat at the table, looking at the paper he had recorded in the past few days in a daze, and everything he saw every day, no matter how big or small, who came in and out, was listed on it one by one.

However, every day is basically the same, and their family's routine is almost as regular as a machine.

Suddenly, as if he had discovered something, he pointed to these records and shouted to Mei Yuning, who was half-lying and half-sitting on the bed:

"I see!"

Mei Yuning was startled by Ji Yan's cold shout, so she dragged her body that had not fully recovered to the table and asked, "What do you know?" ”

"I know where the Wokkers are?"

Although Mei Yuning had not fully recovered, she was also very excited to hear this and asked:

"Oh? Where is it hidden? ”

"It's right next to this family!"

Mei Yuning was a little puzzled, and then asked:

"That's what we guessed at first, but you and I have been observing for many days, and we have found no trace of them."

"They're hiding in the house."

"Oh? How do you know? ”

"This old woman has to wash her clothes all morning every morning, just ask their family of five, including two yellow-mouthed children, how many clothes do she need to wash every day?"

"Well, there is some truth in what you say, but this is only an inference, and it cannot be regarded as proof."

Ji Yan knew that what Mei Yuning said was also reasonable, and forcibly explained: "This is the first light that appears in the darkness, at least we now find that this family is full of suspicions." We need to keep an eye on them at night. ”

Mei Yuning nodded: "That's right, these days since we landed on the island, this family has the biggest suspicions, and I can't go out now, I don't think we should go out to investigate anymore, so we swap each other, and keep an eye on them day and night......"

Ji Yan looked at Mei Yuning, who was talking, and suddenly felt that Mei Yuning in front of him was blurred, to be precise, it was not Mei Yuning who was blurred, but his rapid up, down, left and right shaking caused blurring, and then he found that it was not Mei Yuning shaking, it was the whole house, the whole world was shaking violently.

There was an earthquake!

Ji Yan comes from modern times, and naturally I have heard that these neighbors in eastern China are close to the Pacific seismic zone, and earthquakes are frequent. Therefore, he reacted quickly, and I remember that in some TV shows, when there is an earthquake, those who can go to an open place must go to an open place, and those who cannot go to an open place must quickly hide under a table or something.

He couldn't help but say, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took Mei Yuning in his arms, pressed his head, and said that Mei Yuning was under him, hiding under the table.

At this time, Mei Yuning naturally understood that it was an earthquake, so she had to plan Yan and herself, and the two of them went up and down and hid under the table.

After a while, the shaking stopped.

At this moment, Ji Yan stared at Mei Yuning under him, looking at each other, only to see that his skin was white and delicate, his eyes were big, plus he had no hair, and his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, no one would doubt that he was a beauty.

Mei Yuning obviously noticed that Ji Yan looked at her differently, and hurriedly dodged Ji Yan's gaze, and said slowly:

"Ji Gongzi...... Ji Gongzi ...... You...... You've got my hair in the air. ”

Although Mei Yuning is a cold character, the two have known each other for a while, eat and live in the same house, and Ji Yan took care of him during his illness, so the relationship has long been familiar, only you and I are commensurate, and they are no longer polite.

This "Ji Gongzi" woke up Ji Yan, and he came back to his senses and was embarrassed.

God is going to make a big joke on himself, he won't give me a wife in two lives, and then look at me pitiful and want to give me a husband?

Suddenly, he reacted, got up as fast as he could, and rushed to the window in a 100-meter sprint to look out.

When the earthquake happened, the people who were hiding in the house should have come out to take shelter, right?

It's a human instinct for survival!
