Chapter 14: Discord
When Wang Yuan came to the door, he saw a huge wooden barrel lying across the door, and he couldn't help but smack his tongue, imagining the situation of Gongsun Lan wearing a white coat and carrying this huge wooden barrel over the wall and crossing the house.
According to Gongsun Lan's instructions, Wang Yuan poured hot and cold water into wooden barrels and blended them into warm water. Gongsun Lan took out a small cyan porcelain bottle from her arms, poured out a few pills from it and sent them to Li Xin'er's mouth, watching Li Xin'er swallow it and said to Wang Yuan with a serious expression: "From now on, Twelve Niang needs to soak for six hours, change the water every hour, and maintain the temperature of the water in the wooden barrel during this time." I'm responsible for adding water and heating, and you're responsible for boiling hot water constantly, without interruption, can you do that? ”
Wang Yuan nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Gongsun Lan nodded slightly, stretched out her hand to pick up Li Xin'er and dip her into the wooden barrel, Wang Yuan didn't say much, he was busy carrying firewood and boiling hot water. Taking advantage of the gap before dawn, Wang Yuan stuffed the large and small pots and jars of snow piled up outside the house, so as not to go out to shovel snow at dawn to arouse suspicion. Although Gongsun Lan didn't speak, she was obviously very satisfied with Wang Yuan's performance, and glanced at Wang Yuan from time to time, and there was no indifference in her eyes as before.
Every hour that passed, Wang Yuan had to pour out a large bucket of water with black toxins, and after six large buckets, Li Xin'er could no longer see any toxins in the water soaked out, and Wang Yuan knew that the poison was almost solved.
When Gongsun Lan changed her clothes and wiped Li Xin'er, who was already soaked and close to collapse, Wang Yuan could finally stretch his tired muscles and bones to come outside the house, the sun was shining in the yard, the snow was slowly melting, and at noon, the strong sunlight and the reflection of the snow made Wang Yuan's eyes black. Wang Yuan hurriedly closed the door, originally planning to find something to feed his stomach, but in the end he was too lightheaded to support it, so he sat on the grass futon in the corner of the hall, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he could no longer hold his eyelids, and quickly fell asleep.
……
A quick knock on the door woke Wang Yuan up, Wang Yuan got up suddenly, a thin quilt on his body fell to the ground, and someone helped him cover the thin quilt when he was asleep.
The straw curtain in the wing room was gently stirred, and half of Gongsun Lan's cheeks were exposed, and her expression was very vigilant, Wang Yuan saw the long sword she was holding in her hand, and hurriedly waved her hand to signal her not to act rashly.
"Erlang, Erlang, are you in the house?" Outsiders shouted softly.
Wang Yuan heard that it was Huang San's voice, and hurriedly responded: "Where is it, is there anything wrong with San Lang?" ”
"Why did you open the door and hide at home all day? There was no movement when I came at noon. ”
Wang Yuan waved his hand at Gongsun Lan, and was relieved to see Gongsun Lan disappear behind the grass curtain. Wang Yuan thought that he couldn't control Gongsun Lan, and if Huang San found out something, Gongsun Lan would definitely rush out and kill Huang San without hesitation.
The door opened, and it was evening outside, and the setting sun stained half the sky red, but the air was bitterly cold. Huang San sniffed and stood at the door with his sleeves folded, complaining in his mouth as he walked inside. Wang Yuan hurriedly stretched out his arm to stop him and said, "San Lang has something to say here." ”
Huang San felt strange, looked Wang Yuan up and down, and said, "What's wrong with Erlang?" I came to talk to you, it was cold outside, let me go into the house and drink some hot water. ”
Wang Yuan frowned and said: "If you have something to say, let's say it here, I don't have hot water here, I stayed up all night watching the lights last night, and I want to sleep well today." ”
Huang San sighed, but his eyes glanced towards the east wing, taking advantage of Wang Yuan's inattention, he suddenly walked straight to the door of the east wing, Wang Yuan was startled, reached out and grabbed his sleeve and shouted, "San Lang, what are you doing?" ”
Huang San shouted while struggling: "Erlang, you are confused, I know that you are hiding people in the east wing, don't admit it." When I came to look for you at noon, I could see clearly through the crack in the door, and there was a woman in white walking around your room. I've been watching outside, waiting for you to go out and ask what happened, but you didn't go out until late afternoon, and I couldn't resist knocking on the door. Erlang, you finally left a good impression on the villagers, but you can't just ruin it, if you let Zhao Fangzheng and them know, even the errand will be lost. Tell me, did you bring back a bad woman from the flower market last night and hide it at home? Let me drive her away, and don't ruin my Erlang's reputation. ”
Wang Yuan was startled, he fell asleep in the afternoon, and he didn't know what was going on, but now it seems that Gongsun Lan was probably walking around the house and was seen by Huang San outside the door, which caused a misunderstanding.
Wang Yuan didn't allow him to enter the east wing, he seemed to have sensed Gongsun Lan's killing intent, if Huang San was allowed to break into the room, he was afraid that he would immediately be in a different place. Looking at Huang San's heartbroken appearance, Wang Yuan was a little funny and a little moved, although Huang San was a little nosy, but after all, he still really cared about himself.
"San Lang, you're mistaken. It's really rude for you to say this, how can there be any bad woman? What you see is a cousin of mine who is far away, and I met her last night when I was watching the lights on Suzaku Street, and she said she wanted to come and see where I lived. No, my cousin came early in the morning and helped me wash my clothes, sew and clean up the house. It's what you say. Ay! Wang Yuan lowered his voice and said in Huang San's ear.
"Far away...... Cousin? Huang San said stunned.
"Yes, your loud voice is really rude, I originally planned to use my distant cousin to say it for you, but now it's okay, it seems to be in the soup, I guess I'm crying in the house." Wang Yuan frowned and said in a low voice.
"This ...... How did I know you had a distant cousin? As far as I know, Erlang's family seems to have no relatives in Chang'an City. Huang San said in surprise.
"Joke, you know more about my relatives than I do? Who are you? Don't make trouble, I'm already a little angry, if you make trouble again, I won't follow. You don't want to think about where I got the money to do the things you said. It really doesn't make sense. Wang Yuan pulled down his face and said displeasedly.
Huang San smacked his lips and said, "That's what I said, Erlang, I'm sorry, why don't I go and apologize to your distant cousin and admit my mistake?" My broken mouth, isn't this pickling people? ”
Wang Yuan's tone became stern, and his face darkened: "That's it, the more you describe it, the darker it gets, let's live in peace, after dinner, people will leave, what kind of trouble are you coming." Walk fast, walk fast."
Wang Yuan pulled Huang San and pushed him out, Huang San also felt Wang Yuan's displeasure, and arched his hand and said: "Erlang, don't be angry, don't be angry, I'm just worried that you will go the old way again......"
Wang Yuan said: "San Lang, it's true that we are good friends, but you can't stare at me when you have nothing to do, and make me feel as if I am under your control." You come and come, just knock on the door generously, why do you want to watch through the crack in the door? It's not good for you to do that. Besides, I'm also an adult, so how can I be under your control of everything? ”
Huang San was startled when he heard Wang Yuan's words, and hurriedly said: "Erlang, don't get me wrong, I really didn't want to come to watch Erlang, I just happened to come to give you these things, and I was afraid that you didn't get up and disturb you, so I took a look through the crack in the door, and I didn't expect to see your cousin walking around the house." No, this is your monthly case last month, and last night the square was issuing a monthly case, I saw that you were not there, and I estimated that you went out to play, so I took it for you. You take it, I'll leave here, I'm sorry Erlang, I'm sorry for your cousin, I'll make a difference for me. ”
Huang San hurriedly shook his face, and hurried away with a face full of regret.
Wang Yuan stood at the door with a small blanket containing copper coins and watched him walk away, sighed and turned around to close the door, not that he wanted to get angry with Huang San, but if he didn't take the opportunity to get angry, Huang San wouldn't have gone so happily, maybe he would be so casual next time. It didn't work before, but now there's a timer hidden in the house. bomb, let Huang San know that it was very troublesome. Looking at Huang San's expression, his reprimand just now hit him quite hard, and he will find a time to comfort and comfort him, after all, among all the Tang people, Huang San treats himself the best, treating himself like a brother, and he doesn't want to lose this brother.
Sighing, Wang Yuan turned around and found that Gongsun Lan was standing behind him at some point, frowning and staring at him, so he smiled and said, "It's a friend, a playmate who has been together since childhood, and came to give me something." ”
"I know, if it weren't for that, I'd have killed him."
Wang Yuan was startled and hurriedly said, "People didn't mess with you." ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "He said that I am a bad woman, this should not be killed?" ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "The vulgar people in the market naturally don't listen so well, I have already explained it to him." ”
"I know, you say I'm your cousin, right? And said that you plan to help me match with this person? You should be damned too! ”
Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Blame me, blame me, just talking nonsense in a hurry, don't you want to be angry, don't you want to make trouble?" By the way, how is the Twelve Niang's body? You're hungry, I'll get you something to eat. ”
Wang Yuan diverted the topic and didn't want to dwell on this matter.
"The poison has been resolved, but the detoxification consumes a lot, and it is difficult for her to recover for more than ten days." The woman whispered as she looked out the window at the darkening sky.
Wang Yuan said: "Then I go out and call a big car?" ”
Gongsun Lan frowned and said, "What do you do with a big car?" ”
"Good evening, let you secretly take Miss Li to your house in Jinchangfang to recuperate. I'm a place of right and wrong here, and it's not safe for Twelve Niang to stay here. ”
Gongsun Lan shook her head lightly and said: "No, she can't see the wind, she can't withstand the cold, and she can't withstand the bumps." I can only stay with you to recuperate, and I can't move. ”
Wang Yuan shouted: "How can that be done? This is a place of right and wrong, and it is too dangerous to have Jinwu guards come and search from house to house tomorrow. ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "I see that you can't wait to let her go, so you can get out of it." ”
Wang Yuan shouted, "What is this called? If I'm afraid of being involved, why should I save her? ”
Gongsun Lan said: "I don't know what your purpose is, if you save her, you will save her to the end, her body only needs to be recuperated, I will leave tonight, and I will rely on you to take care of her in the future." ”
Wang Yuan was surprised: "You want to leave?" You don't take care of your apprentice, but you want me to take care of it? ”
Gongsun Lan turned her head to look at Wang Yuan, her face was covered with a layer of frost, and she said coldly: "How do you know that I am her master?" Twelve Niang told you? ”
Wang Yuan shook his head and said, "Don't care who told me, she is always your apprentice, this is a fact, you can't leave her alone." ”
Gongsun Lan sneered: "She called me master, but I didn't recognize her as an apprentice for a long time, she was not my apprentice three years ago, I saved her this time because I really remembered the old friendship, and I have nothing to do with her since then." No matter what happens to her in the future, I will not help. ”
Li Xin'er's crying voice came from the room: "Master......"
Gongsun Lan snorted coldly: "Don't call me Master, I have already made it clear to you in the afternoon, if you don't get out of touch with those people for a day, I won't recognize you for a day." It's ridiculous that you still beg me to do something for you, it's really dizzy. ”
"Master......" Li Xin'er cried bitterly.
Gongsun Lan waved his sleeves lightly and said angrily: "If the tears could move me, I wouldn't have expelled you from the school in the first place, so you can do it yourself." ”
Wang Yuan listened to the words of the master and apprentice in confusion, and didn't know how to interject, Gongsun Lan walked to the door quickly, suddenly stood up, turned around to look at Wang Yuan and said in a low voice: "I left a bottle of pills and more than a dozen yuan in the package on the bed, one pill each in the morning and evening, you can buy some recuperation with that money." Wang Gongzi, I see that your character is acceptable, so I advise you, let her leave quickly after the twelve mothers are injured, and don't have any entanglement with her. In addition, I warned my son, if she wants you to help her do anything, you should not do it, you have already caused trouble, don't fall deeper and deeper and lose your life. ”
Wang Yuan was confused, didn't know what he was talking about, and wanted to ask carefully. Gongsun Lan raised her hand to stop him from speaking, stretched out her hand to open the door of the house, and stepped out, her skirt fluttering like a Lingbo fairy disappearing outside the courtyard gate.
