Chapter 18: Better than a Treasure
In the past, no matter which family or someone came to her door for treatment, she would let others go back first, and she would wait for a while to go alone.
The reason why I don't like to walk with others is because the more I get along with others, the easier it is to expose my identity.
Moreover, as a woman, she naturally rejects the company of men who have little to do with her. And if you walk with a woman, although you feel much more comfortable in your heart, in the eyes of outsiders, I am afraid it is even more unreasonable.
Therefore, for her, it seems that it is most appropriate to be alone.
But this time is different.
The reason why she wanted to go with Qi Fang this time was because she knew that if she let him go back first, Lu Shikang heard that he was in the pharmacy, and he was afraid that he would go to the utility room to check if the woman was not there before he arrived.
Therefore, she wants to go to the Lu Mansion with Qi Fang.
In this way, although he will eventually know that he has escaped, because he does not know the specific time when he escaped, he does not dare to easily make a conclusion about whether the woman's self is his true identity.
When I arrived at Lufu, I climbed the ladder to enter as usual.
When he came to the inner room, Qi Fang said to Lu Shikang, who was playing with a green jade cup at this time: "Third son, Doctor Kong is here." ”
After Lu Shikang heard this, the hand that was originally playing with the Qingyu Cup stopped in an instant.
He turned around and stared at Qingzhi. As if convinced, the person standing in front of him was really Dr. Kong.
After only staring at it, he turned his head to stare at the Qingyu Cup again and said, "Doctor Kong came quite quickly today. ”
Qingzhi said indifferently: "I've been reading books at the pharmacy today without anything to do, so I came faster than usual." ”
"Oh? I didn't expect that as a doctor, there would be such a time to be free? ”
"What's so strange about this, just like Lu Gongzi, don't you have such a time to be idle now." Changing the topic, "I don't know where Lu Gongzi is uncomfortable today?" ”
"It's strange to say, Dr. Kong's medicine doesn't seem to cure me for this headache......" he said, putting his hand on the low table on the couch. Let the green branches take the pulse.
"I said that day, Lu Gongzi's headache is probably caused by worrying too much, don't worry about it, maybe Lu Gongzi's headache will be cured by himself." Qingzhi began to bend down to help him take his pulse as he spoke.
Like last time, his pulse was completely normal.
"I'll still prescribe some of the previous medicines, and Lu Gongzi will continue to take them for two days to try."
He didn't reply.
Aoeda felt his gaze on her.
Could it be that he wanted to distinguish between his current self and the woman who was following him on the street?
Or maybe he's wondering if the current self has been impersonated?
What he was thinking, she didn't know.
She didn't look back at him, but continued: "If Lu Gongzi still has a headache after taking it for two days, then you can stop the medicine." ”
"How can I get my headache solved?"
"You don't have to worry about it, and you can get better. Lu Gongzi, I will say goodbye below. Aoeda said and walked out the door.
After seeing Qingzhi's back disappear at the door, Lu Shikang asked Qi Fang, "Where did you find Dr. Kong?" ”
"In his pharmacy." Qi Fang felt that the third prince's question was a little strange.
"He's really at the pharmacy?"
"Third son, is there anything unusual about him in his own pharmacy?"
Qi Fang saw that he had just finished speaking, and his son-in-law left the room.
He also hurriedly followed, following behind his third son.
I saw that the third prince first came to Wu Shan's room and asked Wu Shan: "Where is the key to the utility room?" ”
"Here I am." Wu Shan pointed to the table in front of him.
"Go open the door."
"Open the door? What happened? Third son, are you going to let that woman go? Isn't she the one you said hit you that night? At that time, the third son of his family told him that he had a way to make the person who beat him appear automatically, so he did as the third son instructed.
Until now, he still thinks that the woman is the murderer who injured the third prince that night.
However, the third prince is now asking him to open the door, could it be that he is temporarily soft-hearted and plans to let this girl go?
So why did you go to all the trouble to catch her?
But he didn't dare to disobey the third son's order, so he took the key and walked to the small utility room with the third son of his family.
When he opened the door with the key in his hand, Wu Shan was surprised to find that there was no one inside.
"Hey, you can run away like this?" Wu San exclaimed, and then he saw the wine cans piled up under the window, "It seems that she stepped on the wine cans and escaped, this girl is quite smart." ”
I saw that the third son of his family walked into the room in silence, and bent down in the room to pick up something from the ground.
Wu Shan stepped forward, "What is it?" ”
Qi Fang also came to the front, wanting to see what the third prince was holding.
It was a rectangular bronze plaque about the size of a palm.
There was a bird-like pattern with outstretched wings printed on it, and the bird looked a little like a crane when viewed closely.
When the third prince turned it over, there was no pattern on the back.
"This is what the girl fell from when she climbed the window?" Wu Shan asked suspiciously.
Qi Fang said: "It must be, there is no such thing in our house." ”
While the two were talking, they saw that the third son of his family put the bronze brand into his sleeve.
Wu Shan saw that his third son was going to put this ordinary-looking bronze brand into his sleeve, and asked in surprise: "Third son, is this card a treasure?" ”
I only heard his third son return: "It's not a treasure, but, it's better than a treasure." ”
"If it's not a treasure, how can it be like a treasure?"
His third son didn't answer him, but he saw a subtle smile at the corner of his third son's mouth.
.
It was only in the evening when she was washing herself in the bath room that she realized that the bronze plaque she had picked up in the woods was missing.
Normally, before she washes her body, she puts everything in her sleeve on the bench in the bath. When I put it today, I found that the bronze medal in my sleeve was missing.
Could it be that it is still in the garment of the finch?
She remembers putting it in her sleeve in the morning when she changed her clothes, along with the rest of the cuffs.
After washing herself in a hurry and changing into clean clothes, she asked Finch, "Finch, have you ever seen that bronze flat plate I put in the sleeve of your clothes?" ”
Finch said to her, "No, I just washed my clothes, and I don't have anything in my sleeves." ”
Qingzhi was a little anxious when he heard Que'er say this, and his heart said that the bronze medal would not know where it had gone.
She went to too many places today, and followed Lu Shikang and Wu Shan to visit nearly half of Jiangbei City, if she went to find it, how could she find it?
Although this bronze medal is not a treasure, it cannot be said to be completely unimportant to her.
After all, this is what he found in the place where the original body fell off the horse, and he often dreams of riding a horse and being chased and killed, if his original body is really being chased and killed, then this bronze plate is very likely to be the only clue to pursue the real murderer.
It seems that there is no other way but to go out and look for it.
Although it was already dark, she didn't want to wait a moment. The longer you wait, the slimmer your chances of finding it. Who knows if it will be picked up by some naughty child tomorrow morning?
And in order to hide people's eyes, she had to put on women's makeup again and borrowed Finch's clothes to wear.
After all, he is also a somewhat famous person in Jiangbei City, and almost everyone knows him. And if Lu Shikang knew that he was carrying a lamp all over the city looking for a lost thing, and the route he took was known to him, maybe he would bring him some different trouble.
Not wanting to wait at home for dinner, she asked her to tell her mother, Kwok, who was suspicious that she would not see anyone, and told her that she had gone to a patient's house to see her and might come back later.
Under the puzzled gaze of the finch, she went out with an oil lamp in her hand.
