Chapter 59: The Past
Pan Photovoltaic glared at her, but the smile in it did not diminish at all,
"Laughing, you two are the same without conscience. I just discussed with your uncle, and when I heard what he said, the husband and wife should have drunk a soup made from something called Qixing grass. ”
"Seven Star Grass? Is it a poisonous herb? ”
Hearing that his father-in-law gave an answer so quickly, Zong Jiyuan knew that he and his uncle had been discussing it for a while, so he hurriedly asked.
Who knows, Pan Photovoltaic shook his head and said,
"On the contrary, this kind of grass is generally used to cure diseases, if people with severe asthma drink the medicinal soup made of this grass decoction, it can clear the lungs and relieve cough, and can relieve the pain, but normal healthy people drink it, but they will be out of breath and die."
"Just like Zhou Ziyi and his wife......"
Zong Jiyuan listened, nodded and thought about it,
"Isn't this herb less common? Why haven't children heard of it before? ”
"That's true,"
Pan Photovoltaic nodded,
"It's not very common to have a lot of medicinal use, so it's not mentioned in general pharmacology books."
Although Ye Guangqian didn't like to speak, he kept looking at Zong Jiyuan, and only then did he say,
"That's good, so I don't have to talk to Lord He about this when I go back. Now that you already have a number in your heart, I don't have to worry about it here. ”
"In his opinion, it is one less trouble."
Pan Photovoltaic couldn't help but smile.
Now that the problem in front of him has been solved, Zong Jiyuan's heart has also relaxed a lot, and he went to the back to say goodbye to his stepmother, chatted with his father-in-law and uncle for a while, and when he said goodbye and returned to the county office, it was really the hour after dinner.
When he entered the gate, he did not disturb the other brothers, but went directly to his house. She was about to push the door in, but when her hand was about to touch the handle of the door, she stopped there, because Zong Jiyuan was already keenly aware that someone had come, and it was even very likely that the person was inside at this time.
However, this pause was only a moment, because through the captured breath, Zong Jiyuan had roughly judged who was sitting in the dark shadow.
As he pushed open the door and walked in, he snorted softly,
"Why can't you light a lamp when you're sitting in the dark and blind?"
"Don't I want the officials to find out I'm coming?"
With the other party's response, the flint flashed, the candle on the table in the room was lit, and the face with a somewhat exaggerated smile under the light was Wang Yu,
"Hey, it's not a surprise to meet again after a long absence!"
"What a surprise,"
Zong Jiyuan stood there with his hands in his hands, and there was no sense of "reunion" on his face as he said,
"You can't have snuck in from the brothers in this yazhong?"
"That's it,"
Wang Yu shrugged his shoulders a little "being a thief",
"Who knows what attitude your fellow servants have towards me now, and what will I do if I don't let me enter this door?"
"Hehe......"
Zong Jiyuan let out two laughs, unable to tell what he meant, and then changed the subject again,
"Have you had dinner?"
"Not yet, can I mess with you?"
Wang Yu sat down on the chair closest to him unceremoniously, looking at her expectantly.
Zong Jiyuan chuckled lightly, raised his slender finger and tapped him,
"Obediently waiting here."
Because Master He had already said in advance that he would leave her dinner, when Zong Jiyuan came to the kitchen, sure enough, there was still a very hearty meal on the stove.
After saying that, there was a friend with him, and the master of the kitchen made a lot of food without saying a word, put it in the food box, and was going to send it for her, but Ji Yuan politely declined.
After bringing dinner, the two of them set it up on the table in front of them, and handed a pair of chopsticks to Wang Yu, Zong Jiyuan asked,
"Tell me, you've been away for a few months, what have you heard?"
"Well, I'm ashamed,"
Wang Yu took the chopsticks and subconsciously looked at them, saying,
"After all, there are still affairs to take care of in the dart game, and the Shunfeng brothers and their husbands are both sick and need to be taken care of, so I didn't get a lot of news when I went out to find out......"
"Okay, don't explain,"
Zong Jiyuan glanced at him with some amusement,
"Just tell me what you know."
"We, I only found out about the identity and origin of that Ming Qimeng."
Wang Yu said, raising his eyes to look at the other party's expression, as if he wanted to observe something.
Hearing him say this, Zong Jiyuan didn't show anything special, that is, there was no disappointment, let alone expectation, just smiled faintly and said,
"That's nice, at least we know who we're looking for, don't we?"
"Oh, yes,"
Wang Yu probably also felt a little funny, and said,
"That Ming Qimeng was originally one of the 'Four Thieves in the East Mountain Valley'."
"East Ravine?"
Zong Jiyuan listened, his eyes rolled,
"But weren't the bandits in the East Mountain Ravine eliminated ten years ago? Moreover, I remember that there were only two of their bandits, so why are they now the 'four thieves'? ”
"W-W, wouldn't it?!"
Wang Yu was surprised and shocked, and he didn't even have time to eat the braised pork in front of him.
"Ten years ago, you would have known! Wasn't you supposed to be eight years old at that time? ”
Of course Zong Jiyuan knew about this incident, and she was indeed only eight years old at that time, but this did not affect her to have a deep memory of everything that happened at that time-
Because in the process of eradicating that gang, the role played by his parents in it can be said to be decisive.
At that time, the fourth master of Zong and Zong Zhiming had just returned to Liaodong from the capital with their branches in the clan, and not long after they set up their family business outside the north gate, they were targeted by that gang of thieves. After being noticed by the intelligent Fourth Master Zong, after discussing with his beloved wife Liu Xianglan, he simply planned and united with the Liaodong County Ya to eradicate it in one fell swoop.
That night, while protecting his younger siblings, eight-year-old Zong Jiyuan witnessed his mother, dressed in men's clothes, fighting the bandits, and his father, who usually looked gentle and elegant, was calm and calm when he threatened the bandits, commanding everyone in the family to deal with the enemy with all his might.
And when everything was calm, at the request of the fourth master, the government hid the exploits of the husband and wife in the county annals, and did not publicize them. Even so, from that moment on, Zong Jiyuan's small heart had already set his own goal in life, to become a person who is not afraid of evil like his parents and can protect his relatives around him......
