Chapter 004: Bright Moon Tower

Zhao Yi and Ye Tao went back to Mingyue Tower together, and when they entered the door, they saw the boxy eaves of the seven-storey tower of Mingyue Tower, and there were two rows of small bell wind chimes hanging at each eaves corner, four in a row.

Outside the door, you can hear the noise in the tower, and the business of Mingyue Tower has always been very good.

"There are people coming and going in Mingyue Building, and it is indeed a bit noisy, Miss Zhao has just arrived, and it will take some time to get used to it. Ye Tao said with concern.

"Only people who can adapt to any lifestyle will be happy, Ye Shaoxia rest assured, I will integrate into the daily life of Mingyue Tower," Zhao Yi said with a smile.

Entering the tower, Zhao Yi saw a young woman in her thirties wearing an emerald green skirt, dazzling gold hairpins on her sideburns, shaking her three-inch golden steps, and quickly moving her fingers on the abacus.

"Bang Bang Bang~" The abacus made a rain-like sound in the hands of the shopkeeper.

"This sister looks like an interesting person!" Zhao Yi looked at the peach blossoms, and suddenly turned his head to say to Ye Tao.

"The shopkeeper of Peach Blossom is the owner of Mingyue Building, and he is hospitable,"

Ye Tao said and walked towards the peach blossom shopkeeper, and Zhao Yi followed his pace.

The shopkeeper threw the abacus to the counter and laughed: "Ha! Today's income is still quite considerable!"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and saw Ye Tao in front of him, followed by a girl who was very smart, and immediately quipped: "Ye Shaoxia is back!

"It's a friend!" Ye Tao glanced at Zhao Yi and replied.

The shopkeeper of Peach Blossom continued to ask questions and asked: "What kind of friend? If it is a sweetheart, then I can first state that there are many fish and dragons in Mingyue Building, and Ye Shaoxia has to be protected!"

The shopkeeper of Peach Blossom threw a wink, but Ye Tao looked at Zhao Yi worriedly, but he happened not to see it.

Zhao Yi couldn't cry or laugh, I don't know if it's a good thing to be cared about by the peach blossom shopkeeper like this?

Ye Tao said goodbye and asked, "Shopkeeper, is there a quieter room?"

"Yes, yes, I'll take this girl over!"

"Okay, I'm sorry for the shopkeeper!" Ye Tao responded.

"No trouble, no trouble!"

The peach blossom shopkeeper enthusiastically took Zhao Yi's hand and walked to the backyard, chattering non-stop along the way.

"Girl, seeing that you are white and beautiful, where must you be the eldest lady? If you are not satisfied with me, just say that I will ask someone to replace you at any time."

"In addition, my Mingyue Building is crowded with people every day, it's not an exaggeration, don't show your face outside when you're fine, otherwise you won't be looking for trouble, and trouble will come to you."

"Also, the service conditions of Mingyue Tower are all first-class and good, so you are satisfied!"

“......”

The peach blossom shopkeeper chattered all the way, and Zhao Yi responded while deserting.

After walking for a while, the shopkeeper pointed to a red lacquered door and said, "Girl, how do you look at this room?"

The peach blossom shopkeeper pushed the door in, Zhao Yi entered the door while sweeping, and saw that this room was very spacious, and what he saw at a glance when he entered the door was a round sandalwood table, behind the sandalwood table was a bookcase, which was very suitable for readers, and the dresser was self-contained, Zhao Yi looked at it and felt that there was nothing missing, and when he looked back, he saw a long corridor at the front door that was tortuous and deep, and he could see the thriving flowers and plants in the backyard at any position in the corridor, and it was very vibrant.

"It's good here!" Zhao Yi said.

"If the girl likes it, if the girl has any orders, call her buddy," the peach blossom shopkeeper smiled happily.

"My name is Zhao Yi, and the shopkeeper will call me by my name in the future!" Zhao Yi said naturally.

The shopkeeper of Peach Blossom was surprised for a moment, and said with a smile: "Okay, Zhao Yi, I see that your age is not much different from me, and it's okay to call me Sister Peach Blossom!"

"Ah~" Zhao Yi opened his mouth and was surprised, their age difference is more than a little bit!

"What, don't you want to?" Peach Blossom's tone was sharp, and Zhao Yi hurriedly denied: "Uh, no, Peach Blossom's shopkeeper loves love, how could I refuse"

"Girl, remember to go to the tower for dinner, if you don't like it, you can send the guy here," the shopkeeper instructed.

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "Okay, I know, Sister Peach Blossom has something to do, so let's go and get busy!"

Saying that, Peach Blossom also nodded and left Zhao Yi's room.

Zhao Yi looked around the house again, there was nothing to like or dislike, so he went out to take a look, in the quiet corridor, the grass and trees in the yard stretched out to the fence, full of life.

But there is something wrong here, that is, it is far away from the place where Ye Tao lives, and the purpose of her coming to Danzhou is not to live in a big yard and enjoy some flowers and plants, but for the Qingling Sword in Ye Tao's hand.

Thinking of Qingling Sword, Zhao Yi had to think of a way to avoid its damage, although the Qingling Sword in Meilin had not hurt her before, but whenever Qingling Sword was around, Zhao Yi always felt that this qi was really a little uncomfortable, Ye Tao couldn't feel her demonic energy, and Qingling Sword was difficult to say.

Zhao Yi turned around and went back to the house, gently closed the door and went into the inner room, meditating on the couch for luck, and after a while, there was a scorching qi flowing in her seven meridians and eight veins, menacing, more terrifying than imagined.

Zhao Yi twisted his eyebrows, and suddenly had the idea of withdrawing his hand, with the intention of pointing to the qi, he just collected some anger, suddenly, the true qi flowing from the left and right hands collided together, Zhao Yi opened his eyes in shock, but to no avail, the dantian tightened, and the two qi collided on the tip of his heart, Zhao Yi was caught off guard and vomited a mouthful of blood, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and didn't scream, but his lips were bitten by himself and were about to ooze blood, and doubts came to his heart, Zhao Yi's eyes were blurred and he couldn't find a place to park.

Wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, Zhao Yi's eyebrows were still not stretched, and he frowned and said to himself: "What's the matter?

Zhao Yi looked at his hands with a solemn expression, the white and blood-colored palms still did not change, Zhao Yi tightened his brows, curled his fingers slightly, and his expression changed greatly in an instant, and he was shocked and a little annoyed, and said in pieces: "What kind of heart does this Hu Shao'an have, it actually gave me the toxin of the moth." ”

I saw a black spot the size of a sesame seed in the center of Zhao Yishi's fingernails.

On the third day of the next day, Zhao Yi, who was meditating and curing poison in the brocade tent, heard the sound of the door being pushed open in a daze, and then heard the tentative voice of a little girl, "Guest officer, guest officer, are you up?"

"She shouldn't be up! Then came a soft-spoken conversation.

"This guest is really asleep, she can't afford to pay it back on three poles in the sun, and she is still asleep in the entire Mingyue Building!"

"I guess it may be the eldest lady who fled, it is the temperament of the eldest lady on weekdays, how can these people in fine clothes and fine food be like us, and the rooster will have to get up when he crows"

Zhao Yi weakly laughed at these two unwilling girls with her own consciousness, if she couldn't give up halfway, she would have jumped out of bed immediately and scared these two little girls who said bad things behind their backs.

"Heh, didn't the little fairies of that family go out before dawn!

Zhao Yi's eyebrows furrowed slightly, she really wanted to know what these two little girls looked like.

"That person's temperament is also spoiled!"

"Who can blame then, blame ourselves for the fate of a slave! But the shopkeeper's temperament is changeable after losing his husband......

"You're crazy, can you talk nonsense? Let's go, let's ......."

The two girls pushed and shoved and left Zhao Yi's room.

“......”

Zhao Yi looked dazed, and said that he would leave, afraid that others would hear it and say it, these two little girls are really strange.

However, Ye Tao and his junior brother went out before dawn, and Zhao Yi hurriedly accelerated the circulation of true qi and expelled the poisonous gas from his body as soon as possible.

Chenshi.

Ye Tao and his disciples went to the Xicheng ward, the city was a little dirty, and it took a long time to see a patient with a red and swollen face, most of them were wailing over and over again under the torture of the plague, and the men in the prime of life only sighed a few times, women and children cried, and the old man wailed, and happened to see a little girl curled up in her mother's arms, her skin was swollen, and even a wide brocade robe could not cover it.

Ye Tao saw that the girl was pitiful, and wanted to step forward to comfort her, but Ye Tao approached, the girl got into her mother's arms, the woman's eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look at the comer, Ye Tao squatted down, the woman moved her position with the child, and deliberately stayed away from Ye Tao, Ye Tao said softly,

"Madame, don't worry, in Xia Ye Tao, it won't be bad for you and your children, you don't have to be afraid. ”

The woman swallowed her breath before she dared to raise her head and speak, "I'm not afraid of what you will do to our mother and daughter, our mother and daughter are very sick and will infect your son! You better stay away from us, please!"

The woman's almost pleading tone, Ye Tao was moved by compassion, feeling sorry for these kind people, sick and sick, and always thinking about others, thinking that their lives should not be like this.

Ye Tao cast a spell to input his pure vitality into the little girl in the woman's arms, the woman saw the lilac light lingering around Ye Tao's body, as well as the purple light pillar in his hand to his daughter, she was surprised and worried, the girl moved, broke free from her mother's arms, and let the purple pure vitality surround her body, and everyone around focused their eyes on Ye Tao and the little girl, impermanence and good words looked solemn, and saw the pure vitality of the senior brother entering the little girl's body like flowing water.

Seeing that the swelling on the girl's body gradually subsided, her complexion was hydrated and smooth, but Ye Tao was sweating fine on her forehead, her face was pale, and she was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

Zhao Yi rushed from Mingyue Tower, a long blue dress, looking at Ye Tao from a distance, she was also a little anxious, she really admired Ye Tao's self-sacrificing spirit, and she didn't want Ye Tao to have an accident in order to save people.

is hesitating whether to help him, this gang will inevitably reveal their identity, Zhao Yi has self-proclaimed mana, Ye Tao wants to deal with her is easy, but seeing that the two juniors behind Ye Tao did not help him, Zhao Yi was also a little curious.

Finally Ye Tao withdrew his hand, the purple light faintly disappeared, Ye Tao got up with his hand supporting the Qingling sword, and just about to wipe the sweat on his forehead, a pink handkerchief was already lightly attached to his forehead, Ye Tao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't even notice when a person came.

The little girl cheered vigorously that she was all right, that she was not in pain, and that she was not uncomfortable, and the woman cried with joy, and the little girl wanted to throw herself into her mother's arms, but the woman avoided her.

"Daughter, my mother still has an epidemic, don't get close," the girl was in tears when she heard this, and wanted to ask Ye Tao for help, but when she turned around, she saw her beautiful sister helping Ye Tao wipe her sweat, and this big brother seemed to be very tired.

Zhao Yi helped Ye Tao wipe his sweat, and there was a shallow and warm smile on the corner of his mouth, but Ye Tao was shy, and said astringently: "Let's do it yourself!"

Zhao Yi was not embarrassed or surprised, so he gave the handkerchief to Ye Tao, looking like he was a very familiar friend, caring but not ambiguous.

"You've lost too much pure vitality, you have to rest for a while," Zhao Yi's voice just fell, and the little girl's immature voice came,

"Big brother, can you save my mother, please, big brother!"

Seeing the girl's pitiful appearance, Ye Tao was soft-hearted, Zhao Yi squatted down and stroked the little girl's face and said gently: "Little sister, the eldest brother is not feeling well now, shall we save your mother in a few days?"

The little girl pursed her lips, not happy but still very understanding.

The girl ran to Ye Tao and asked with concern, "Big brother, are you okay?" The immature voice was like a heavenly sound in this chaotic city, and the clear eyes were more like a Tan Qingquan, Ye Tao rubbed the girl's little head dotingly, and replied,

"Big brother is fine, hello big brother is fine!"

The girl grinned sweetly, and Zhao Yi showed a rare smile, and her curved eyebrows and eyes were very good-looking.

There were a lot of people gathered around, and seeing their uncomfortable looks, they probably wanted to find Ye Tao to save themselves, but they didn't dare to open this mouth together, after all, Ye Tao's face was also very pale.

Impermanence and good words squeezed from the crowd to the steps, looking at the flow of people, impermanence's worry gradually thickened,

"Senior brother, you are not in good health now, and you can no longer use pure vitality, let's appease these people!"

Ye Tao thought for a while, bowed to the people, and said with a guilty face: "Fellow villagers, Ye Tao hereby apologizes to the villagers, and can no longer use pure vitality to remove the pain on the body of the villagers, but please rest assured, Zai Xia and a few junior brothers are here to cure your epidemic, no matter what, Zai Xia and his junior brothers will cure your epidemic, and please believe in us,"

The people looked at each other, and finally replied with kind words: "We believe in you, it is our luck that the three young heroes are willing to stay and care about us who are dying, whether the young heroes can suppress this epidemic or not, we are grateful,"

The person who spoke was a respected old man in Xicheng, and everyone was "grateful" to Ye Tao and the other three people.

Ye Tao's pale face showed a smile of relief, bringing spring-like warmth to the sky at the beginning of October, Zhao Yi didn't seem to be looking at anyone, but he deliberately paid attention to Ye Tao's expression, and there seemed to be ripples in his heart.

Ye Tao thanked the villagers again, in order to prevent Ye Tao and others from being infected, the epidemic patients took the initiative to stay away from them, and the talented woman got up and knelt down in front of everyone, and wanted to help her up, but she was still the same as just now, and she didn't want anyone to touch her.

"Young heroes, there is something to ask for in a clumsy body," she looked at her daughter in front of her who wanted to touch but didn't dare to touch, tears welled up, "My daughter was saved by Shaoxia, and now she can't follow me anymore, I don't know if Shaoxia can take good care of her for Clumsy, after all, she has no epidemic now!"

Ye Tao looked at the girl, and inadvertently looked at Zhao Yi, Zhao Yi's ears were hot, knowing that someone was looking at her, so he turned his head to look, and saw that Ye Tao's clear eyes had some hints of asking for help, Zhao Yi smiled slightly, and said to the child's mother: "Auntie, don't worry, I will take care of your child!"

"Thank you girl for your mercy!" The woman was instantly grateful, and Ye Tao also thanked Zhao Yi: "Thank you, Miss Zhao!"

"Ye Shaoxia doesn't have to be polite, I just like this child and want her to accompany me!" Zhao Yi smiled faintly, wiping the girl's tears rolling down, and asked gently, "Little sister, what's your name?"

"My name is Xiaoli!" replied in Xiaoli's immature voice.

After getting along for a few days, Zhao Yi found that Xiao Liren was quite good, she just loved gossip, and she didn't know why she kept misunderstanding Zhao Yi and Ye Tao, so she smiled and said to Zhao Yi before going to bed: "Sister Zhao, go find your big brother!"

Zhao Yi felt that something was not quite right when he heard this, and he didn't understand what Xiao Li meant, but Xiao Li's expression didn't look like a joke.

"Xiaoli, why do you want to go to the big brother?" Zhao Yi said curiously.

Xiao Li just lay down, sat up in surprise, and said with an innocent smile: "Because Sister Zhao also wants to rest!"

Zhao Yi was even more curious, and asked, "Then I'm resting here, why do I want to find the eldest brother?"

Xiao Li scratched his head suspiciously, seemed to think for a while, and asked, "Sister Zhao, isn't the eldest brother your lover?"

Zhao Yi has always been a dislike of laughing, but at the moment she laughed with a snort, "Xiaoli, you little girl, you are only nine years old, no matter how you think about it, it's all about children's affection, it's very dangerous!"

But Xiao Li said very seriously: "Sister Zhao, do you know? My mother once said that Yongle City is a place cursed by God, and an eighteen-year-old girl can't be alone, something will happen."

Cursed place? Hearing this, Zhao Yi frowned, but in a blink of an eye, she laughed again, and said, "This little girl, I was almost deceived by you, go to sleep!"

"Really, Sister Zhao, I don't lie to you, you have to believe Xiaoli" Xiaoli seemed to be in a hurry this time, this was said very earnestly, Zhao Yi was suspicious, comforted her and quickly fell asleep.

In fact, at her age, the little girl is already in love, and it is common to misunderstand her and Ye Tao!

Zhao Yi thought about Xiaoli and said when he came back today: "Xiaoli remembers that when he was a child, his father and mother also held Xiaoli's hand like this, my father is here, my mother is here, we will go home together!"

At that time, she was alone with Ye Tao, holding Xiao Li's hand, Xiao Li said and did not forget to indicate which hand it was, as if she didn't notice the embarrassment on Zhao Yi and Ye Tao's faces, and continued,

"Big brother and sister are so kind and loving, it seems to be like my father and mother when they were young, Xiaoli remembers that Xiaoli's mother often wipes sweat for my father!"

I think that her father and mother are also very affectionate, but when the plague was rampant, why did she see her and her mother dependent on each other, where did her father go?

Zhao Yi wanted to continue to investigate, but reason called her back, this doesn't seem to be what she should worry about, this Mingyue Building is not Yao Chi after all, this arrangement is also very different, the inner room and the outer room are only separated by a layer of screen, Zhao Yi has been used to it for a long time, and it is still the same as last night, grinding the pen, writing less than one line, the door was gently knocked, and I don't know who will come in the middle of the night? Maybe someone knocked on the wrong door, Zhao Yi didn't care about him, but the sound came one after another, very light, I didn't want anyone to know, but I never stopped.

After several doubts, Zhao Yi still opened the door, looking at the person who came with a sinister aura, it turned out to be him, Zhao Yi regretted opening this door a little.

Anyway, I went out with Xiaoli to play a lap today, just returned to Mingyue Building, there were more guests, and the shopkeeper couldn't be busy, so he sent a guy to send her and Xiaoli back to the room to rest, this guy was a strange man, Zhao Yi felt that this person didn't seem to be friendly, and now it appeared again, causing Zhao Yi to suspect who called her to follow her.

Zhao Yi asked coldly, "Is there something wrong?"

The guy lowered his eyebrows, handed over the end plate in his hand, and replied with a smile: "Girl, your friend prepared a bowl of ginseng soup for you, and the special one brought it to you,"

Zhao Yi thought that he didn't have any good friends in Mingyue Tower, so he glanced left and right at the man, wondering what the mystery was, of course, this person had to be on guard, Zhao Yi asked intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't know which of my friends prepared it?"

The man opened his mouth to answer, and Ye Tao's calm voice came from behind him,

"Miss Zhao, what's the matter?

Seeing Ye Tao coming over to relieve the siege, Zhao Yi was pleasantly surprised, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, wanting to tease the man in front of him.

"It's nothing, it's just that a friend said that a friend prepared a bowl of ginseng soup for me, I wonder if it's Ye Shaoxia?"

Ye Tao smiled slightly, shook his head, and stared at the bowl of ginseng soup in the man's hand, like ice, the man shuddered, barely had a smile on his face, and asked, "Why hasn't this Ye Shaoxia rested yet?"

Ye Tao said lightly: "It's not easy for people to fall asleep when they have something on their minds."

The man obviously didn't know what Ye Tao meant by answering this, and Zhao Yi was also fluttering with confused peach blossom eyes, and he was confused, so the man was hesitant for a while before he said, "This ginseng soup is for Miss Zhao from the shopkeeper,"

Ye Tao's face did not change and said: "Oh, there is a shopkeeper,"

"Don't dare, don't dare"

It turned out that Zhao Yi didn't need to tease this person, Ye Tao's words were enough to make people's enthusiasm cold, and Zhao Yi only had to watch the show.

Indeed, this man has completely lost his aura in front of Ye Tao, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and he also cares about Zhao Yi.

The man coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Then you talk, Miss Zhao, your ginseng soup, the small one will retreat."

Zhao Yi hurriedly took the end plate and responded politely, "Okay! Thank you!"

The man left in a hurry, and seeing his hurried look, Zhao Yi chuckled out gloating.

took the end plate in, but found that Ye Tao did not come in, a few days, he came to her door more than once, but did not enter the house, Zhao Yi asked: "Ye Shaoxia still doesn't come in and sit?"

"No, Xiaoli won't bother when she falls asleep, and Miss Zhao will rest early!"

Ye Tao Zhao Yi is quite optimistic about this, and he never easily steps into this room. Not humble or arrogant, humble and gentlemanly, easy-going to others, what is his weakness in such a person?

Ye Tao walked away a few steps, Zhao Yi only felt that it was not good to test him, and he really had no chance to understand his weaknesses, they all said that people have seven emotions and six desires, I don't know if his junior sister is important to him? Thinking like this, Zhao Yi hurriedly stopped him,

"Ye Shaoxia, can we walk together?"

Ye Tao looked back and was stunned for a moment, then nodded. Outside, the night was like ink, the cool breeze was bleak, and the small courtyard was silent.

Zhao Yi thought about it or thanked others, after all, she helped her out of the siege, "Thank you Ye Shaoxia for helping me out of the siege"

"Miss Zhao doesn't have to be polite, there are a lot of guests in Mingyue Building today, I'm afraid it will be a little uneven, Miss Zhao be more careful, the ginseng soup that guy brought is still not good to drink!"

"Well, okay! Shaoxia helped Xiaoli treat the epidemic on his body a few days ago, he was already a little tired, and he went out early and returned late these days, pay attention to rest!"

Zhao Yi is gentle, really like an ordinary lady, Ye Tao bowed his head, and the shallow smile on the corner of his mouth seemed to be nothing, "I will, Miss Lao Zhao is worried!"

He is so polite, he seems very rusty, Zhao Yi thought in his heart, don't come to the topic, and asked, "What have you found about the epidemic in the past few days?"

Walking to the idle pavilion in the courtyard, Zhao Yi sat down on the tables and chairs in the pavilion, and there was a pot of tea on the table, but it was cold to the touch.

Ye Tao "Judging from the hearts of the villagers who have been treated, it doesn't look like a plague, but poisoning. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yi was slightly surprised, not because this plague was poisoned, but because he was curious about how Ye Tao could find out so quickly. Zhao Yi raised his eyes to look at Ye Tao who was standing, looking forward to his next words,

"In fact, many years ago, I also treated an epidemic, and their faces were also a little swollen, but not so that all the internal organs were damaged.

Zhao Yi lowered his eyes, his fingers ruffled his hair, and said a little casually: "Their condition is already so serious, no wonder you need to consume so much pure vitality to treat Xiaoli." ”

"Miss Zhao, I heard that the medical skills of the Pulsatilla Ye Lao in Yongle City are exquisite, but now that the Jishi Hall is closed, Ye Lao does not know where to go, I wonder if Miss Zhao knows the whereabouts of Ye Lao?"

"Where did Ye Shaoxia hear that there is such a person in Yongle City?" Zhao Yi said curiously.

Ye Tao smiled and said, "It's a family teacher!"

"Elder Ziyun?" Zhao Yi said in surprise, his face suddenly brightened, and he lowered his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "Indeed, Elder Ye respects Elder Ziyun, and also because of his wonderful hand rejuvenation and deep knowledge of Qi Huang's technique, he is very appreciated by Elder Ziyun" Zhao Yi smiled shallowly, Ye Tao couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, looked at Zhao Yi and asked, "So Miss Zhao knows where Elder Ye is?"

After Ye Tao finished speaking, Zhao Yi raised his eyes, and his cold eyes met each other, but Zhao Yi was a little thinner, and he didn't answer for a while. However, this panic was only for a moment, and she immediately came back to her senses and felt that this was a good opportunity.
