Chapter 008: Visiting Mrs. Jiang
In the morning, the dew was thick, and the water droplets were dripping on the ground, and Zhao Yi was just dressing up while sitting in front of the mirror, when he suddenly heard a thin sobbing sound.
Zhao Yi paused in front of the bronze mirror, and listened carefully, it was really Xiaoli's sobbing.
Zhao Yi hurriedly got up and walked into the inner room, but saw Xiaoli sitting on the bed, holding his knees with both hands, covering his whole face in his knees, without raising his head, crying so that his shoulders trembled.
Zhao Yi looked distressed, walked to the side of the bed lightly, hugged Xiao Li in his arms, and gently comforted him, Xiao Li raised his head, tears came out of his eyes like pearls with broken threads, and Zhao Yi's heart was tightened.
"What's wrong with our Xiaoli, it's not good to look good when we cry!" Zhao Yi said softly while gently wiping Xiaoli's tears.
Xiaoli sobbed a few times, and said pitifully and intermittently: "Sister Zhao, I, I dreamed last night, I dreamed that my mother kissed"
It turned out that she missed her relatives, Zhao Yi stroked her little head and asked softly, "What did my mother say to Xiaoli?"
"My mother said that she was very good, and asked Xiaoli not to worry about her. But Xiaoli knew that his mother must have been very painful to come to Xiaoli's dream, and his mother had never appeared before. ”
Xiao Li couldn't help sobbing as she spoke, the tears that had just stopped came again, she cried, the corners of Zhao Yi's eyes were also a little sour, she didn't care about the handkerchief, and wiped the tears on her cheeks with her hands.
"Little parting is sad, your mother must have not seen you for a long time, I miss you, so come to your dream to see you, hasn't the big brother been healing your mother and the people of Xicheng? She will definitely get better soon, or Sister Zhao will go to Xicheng today to help you see if your mother is okay, don't cry!" Zhao Yi wiped Xiao Li's tears without panic.
When Xiao Li heard that Zhao Yi was going to Xicheng, he hurriedly stood up and said pitifully: "Sister Zhao, can you let Xiao Li go with you?"
Zhao Yi comforted: "Xiaoli, your illness is just right, you can't go there, if you go, your mother will be worried."
As soon as he said this, Xiao Li also quieted down, but he looked very aggrieved. I was reluctant to give up the opportunity to see my mother's forehead, but I was afraid that my mother would be unhappy. "Okay, Sister Zhao, Xiao Li can't leave! Xiao Li can't make his mother unhappy!" Xiao Li wiped his tears from his sleeves and showed a well-behaved smile.
"This is good!" Zhao Yi smiled and rubbed Xiao Li's little head, seeing Xiao Li's slightly red and well-behaved appearance was very cute.
Zhao Yi was fine today, but Xiao Li wanted to go to Xicheng with Ye Tao as soon as he said this.
When.
Zhao Yi went to the tower to look for Ye Tao's figure, and when he entered the tower, he saw the people in the tower making a lot of noise.
The guys wore strips of white cloth around their necks to wipe the table at any time, and two middle-aged men in brocade clothes and jade robes walked past Zhao Yi and entered the tower.
The two of them sat down with a swagger, looked up and asked, "What kind of dishes do you have?"
The guy lowered his body and said carefully, "May I ask the guest officer whether it is an element dish or a meat dish, we have spiced beef, fat and thin sister flowers, Nian Lake fish ...... here."
As the guy spoke, he found that the guest's eyes were looking ahead, looking dumbfounded, and he didn't know what delicacies he saw.
The guy also followed the man's gaze at this time, and suddenly gasped, and the direction of the man's look, he saw Zhao Yi wearing a lake-blue ankle-length dress, slim and elegant, and walked towards the counter with a slender and pretty figure, long hair like a waterfall, and a slight fairy aura in his sideburns.
The guy hurriedly waved his hand and dangled in front of this person, and said again and again: "What do you want?"
The man came back to his senses, coughed dryly, and said seriously: "Just bring the signature dish, and bring two more jars of peach blossom stuffing."
The guy happily replied and left, and the two smiled at each other and looked at Zhao Yi again.
The peach blossom shopkeeper was still the same at the counter to register and settle accounts, and he was surprised to see Zhao Yi appear at this time, but he was more anxious.
"Ouch, my aunt, why did you come out at this time, hurry up and go!" The shopkeeper of Peach Blossom put down what he was doing, and quickly came out from behind the counter and pushed Zhao Yi.
Zhao Yi looked dazed, grabbed the wrist of the peach blossom shopkeeper, and said, "Sister Peach Blossom, what are you doing? I just came to find Ye Tao!"
"Okay, okay, I know, I'll tell him in a while, you go back quickly." The peach blossom shopkeeper pushed Zhao Yi again, Zhao Yi was even more confused, the mystery was knotted in his heart, and the innocence on his face added a hint of girlish cuteness, which made people can't bear to take a look.
"Peach Blossom Shopkeeper ......"
"Peach Blossom Shopkeeper ......"
In unison, one voice was naturally the guest who had been peeping at Zhao Yi, but the other voice came from upstairs.
Obviously, the voices of the people upstairs were very gentle and magnetic, which attracted the attention of many people.
Zhao Yi also raised his eyes to look at the staircase, and saw Ye Tao dressed as an ordinary person, a white shirt, a light cyan robe, and a black hair was also neatly tied, and he walked down the stairs unhurriedly.
The guest was unhappy, which little guy dared to interrupt his words, raised his eyes and looked at Ye Tao coldly, seeing that his gaze under his sword eyebrows was calm like water, but with an untouchable coldness, the guest was a little cringe, pretending to be nothing, and sat down by himself.
Ye Tao went down the stairs, walked three or two steps to Zhao Yitaohua, and said hello to the peach blossom shopkeeper with a smile.
Tong Zhao Yidao: "Miss Zhao came just in time, and I want to ask Miss Zhao for something."
Zhao Yi stared and pondered, couldn't guess what he wanted to ask, and made a gesture of please, Ye Tao also responded, "Miss Zhao, please!"
Zhao Yiton turned around and walked to the door, Ye Tao saluted with the peach blossom shopkeeper and said softly: "Farewell!"
The phoenix eyes of the peach blossom shopkeeper opened together, and the narrow eyelashes trembled.
Outside the door.
Zhao Yi stepped forward first, turned around and asked Ye Tao: "Ye Shaoxia has something to say!"
"It's inconvenient here, please also ask Miss Zhao to move to the backyard" Ye Tao was not cold, Zhao Yi's eyes rolled slightly, this seemed to be very mysterious.
Backyard, pavilions of the promenade.
In the pavilion, the red lacquer painting pillars are carved and flower-shaped, and there is a log-colored table with four people sitting in the pavilion, Ye Tao sat down next to Zhao Yi's position, dismantled the paper shell covered with black medicinal powder, and placed it in front of Zhao Yi.
He asked, "Does Miss Zhao know what this is?"
Looking at this black powder, Zhao Yi cheered up, touched the medicinal powder with his fingertips, and had some powder on his hands, Zhao Yi looked at it carefully, and felt a little familiar, and put it under his nose to smell lightly, but it was tasteless.
Seeing that Zhao Yi was also nonsensical, Ye Tao already understood, but he was still a little unwilling.
"Miss Zhao doesn't know what it is?"
"This black powder is still common, but it's tasteless and indistinguishable, and I can't remember where I've seen it for a while. What Zhao Yi said was true, seeing that she was still carefully distinguishing this drug, Ye Tao also had a lot of comfort in his heart, at least Zhao Yi's heart to help him was true.
Zhao Yi's fingers carefully rubbed the medicinal powder, there should be no problem, but when she looked at it, she saw that her five fingers were covered with red dankou, and there were some golden patterns in it.
It is not surprising that the woman has some makeup, but this does not meet Zhao Yi's usual preference for light colors.
"Miss Zhao likes Dankou?" Ye Tao asked casually.
"I don't like it!" Zhao Yi said naturally without hesitation.
"That Miss Zhao's hand ......" Ye Tao was a little curious, and looked at Zhao Yi's nails meaningfully.
Zhao Yi suddenly woke up, looked at his hand, his eyes dodged, he seemed a little nervous, and said, "Cover up some flaws,"
That being the case, it was inconvenient for Ye Tao to continue asking.
Zhao Yi smiled to hide his panic, but after a while, he suddenly opened his mouth, revealing a happy look.
"What did Miss Zhao find?" Ye Tao asked with a blank expression.
"Thanks to you mentioning Dankou, I also know the origin of this medicinal powder, does Ye Shaoxia know the poison of the moth?" Zhao Yi's words were full of joy, and his tone was brisk.
"This is a poison that only exists in the underworld, could it be that this medicinal powder is related to the moth? But the whole body of the moth is poisonous, and it is extremely poisonous, if it is really it, the Xicheng people are afraid that it will no longer exist!" Ye Tao remembered the records of ancient books and was a little skeptical about this conclusion.
"People who are good at using poisons will naturally know how to use the moth, such as a drop of blood, a tear, or a hair, although these are small, but they are also very useful, the toxicity is different, some are light and severe, some are slow and urgent, and the purpose of the poisoner is probably not to kill people," Zhao Yi affirmed.
Ye Tao listened to Zhao Yi's remarks, and gradually accepted this statement, seeing that his expression was soothing, Zhao Yi twisted and said: "It's just that I don't know the antidote to this moth, only the poisoner may have an antidote, and I'm afraid the antidote won't be able to help you!"
Ye Tao smiled "poof", and Zhao Yi looked confused with curiosity. Ye Tao comforted: "Miss Zhao has already helped me a lot today, and now it's time to ask Miss Zhao what she is looking for!"
Zhao Yi suddenly remembered that he had come to find Ye Tao, and replied: "Xiao Li has been missing her very much recently, so I just wanted to go and see her, and when I came back, I could tell Xiao Li how the eldest mother was doing, so I bothered Ye Shaoxia to take me to Xicheng!"
Thinking that the people of Xicheng were poisoned, and since it was not a plague, they would definitely not be infected, Ye Tao readily agreed to take Zhao Yi over.
Noon.
Xicheng is different from the past, the distribution of patients is well organized, bounded by two vertical and horizontal streets in the city, divided into four parts, the east is responsible for Wu Nian, the west is responsible for good words, the north is responsible for Zuo Ping, and the south is responsible for impermanence.
Xiao left home in the north, today Ye Tao went to the patient team in charge of Yunping Xiaoxianchang, Zhao Yi and Meng Si Mengbai The two little immortals helped the weak old man together, most of the time passed, and the sun secretly rotating in the clouds had faintly fallen into the West Mountain, and there were fewer and fewer people.
Zhao Yi saw that Ye Tao was still concentrating on treating the people, and saw that the patient had a blue nose and swollen face, haggard eyes, and slow breathing, as if he was extremely tired.
Zhao Yi hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Ye Shaoxia, now that the villagers are almost finished with the first diagnosis, I will go to see Xiaoli and her mother, and come back to meet Shaoxia in a while." ”
Ye Tao was taking the patient's pulse, and when he heard this, he glanced up at her and said, "Okay, Meng Si, you can accompany Miss Zhao over, be careful on the road."
Meng Si immediately nodded in response when he heard this, Zhao Yi saw that they were all busy, he was embarrassed to bother Meng Si, and politely refused: "Ye Shaoxia, in fact, I don't need Meng Si Xiaoxian to accompany me, I will be careful on the road! You are all so busy, I can go by myself!"
"Miss Zhao is not very familiar with this place, so it's better to let Meng Si show you the way!"
Seeing that Ye Tao was also well-intentioned, Zhao Yi thought about it, let's not refute his meaning!
"Okay then, there is Lao Mengsi Xiaoxian who has grown!" Zhao Yi said gratefully.
"Miss Zhao doesn't have to be polite, please!" Meng Si's polite appearance really looked like a scholar, Ye Tao turned back and took care of his patients seriously, Zhao Yi didn't have much to do, and went with Meng Si to find Xiao Li's mother, and Zhao Yi left for a while, Ye Tao raised his eyes and looked at the direction of Zhao Yi's departure, feeling faintly uneasy.
——
Walking through the streets and alleys, Meng Si took Zhao Yi to a remote road, where the grass and trees withered, although it was a little desolate, but this road was paved with marble, and Zhao Yi became more and more suspicious the more he walked.
Eventually, Meng Si stopped in front of a palatial mansion, the outside of which was empty and lifeless, and the glittering plaque was dusty.
A sense of desolation rushed to his heart, and Zhao Yi was surprised after regretting: "Why did Meng Si Xiaoxian Elder bring me here?"
"Isn't Miss Zhao going to see Xiao Li's mother?" Meng Si scratched his head and scratched his cheeks, looking curious, wondering if he had heard the wrong place Zhao Yi was going to and led the wrong way.
"It's true that I want to see the eldest lady," Zhao Yi nodded. Meng Si suddenly looked at Zhao Yi in shock, and asked incredulously, "Could it be that Miss Zhao still doesn't know Xiaoli's family background?"
Zhao Yi raised her heart, didn't she know that Xiao Li's family background was so strange?
"There are some things that I don't want to ask, Xiaoli often mentions her mother, but she can't say half a word related to her father, I'm afraid I shouldn't ask anything"
"That's right!" Meng Si nodded frequently in agreement, and Zhao Yi smiled: "Since the little fairy chief has brought it, let's go in!"
Meng Si pushed open the door first and shouted inside: "Auntie, Miss Zhao has come to see you!"
"Miss Zhao is here!" In the lobby, Xiao Li's mother stood up excitedly, dressed as a high-ranking official and a child, and walked towards Zhao Yi tremblingly with the support of the two maids on the left and right.
Although the change of the eldest lady is indeed great, it did not exceed expectations, Zhao Yi saw people, and felt more relieved.
Sit down and talk for a while, Xiao Li's mother looked at her condition, her face was ruddy, but she didn't have much energy, she seemed to have something on her mind, Zhao Yi said curiously: "Auntie's condition has improved, why can't she be happy, if Xiao Li knows about Auntie's appearance, it is estimated that she will be sad for a while." ”
At the mention of Xiaoli, her eyes lit up, and after a while, she sighed softly, "Miss Zhao, Xiaoli is taken care of by you and Ye Shaoxia, I am very relieved, it's just ...... Alas, does Miss Zhao know who Xiaoli's father is?"
Zhao Yi looked at Meng Si, Meng Si shrugged helplessly, saying that he couldn't do anything at this time, Zhao Yi shook his head, and the eldest mother continued to say "Jiang Shiren"
Hearing that the name was very unfamiliar, Zhao Yi shook his head again, and the eldest lady said again: "He was the one who brought Ye Shaoxia to Yongle City."
Zhao Yi said happily: "Mr. Jiang is also a meritorious thing in Yongle City!"
"But he went to be busy with the city lord's affairs again, and when he came back from Liuyun City, he didn't come to see Xiaoli and me, so he left again, alas~"
Zhao Yi didn't feel the pain of parting, and I don't know what it was like, but seeing that the eldest mother was so depressed, it was probably very painful, so I also found something to comfort and comfort her, and after chatting for a while, Zhao Yi said goodbye to her.
When she went out, Zhao Yi was sullen, and Meng Si also saw it, so she thought of something to comfort her.
"Although Jiang Shiren is a celebrity next to the city lord, this time the matter has been done a little too much, and I am afraid that I will not dare to come back for a while."
Zhao Yi was shocked when he heard this, what do you mean by this?
"Actually, Miss Zhao doesn't have to worry so much, Mrs. Jiang will be fine, even if Mr. Jiang doesn't come back for a while, he won't really care about his wife and daughter......"
"Senior Brother Meng Si!" A voice suddenly came from the front, Zhao Yi pondered what Meng Si said, and was suddenly disturbed, looking at the person with some displeasure, Meng Si looked at it almost at the same time, and saw Yun Ping walking over, and said clearly: "Senior brother has something to look for you, you go over immediately, I will accompany Miss Zhao!"
If someone else said this, Zhao Yi would be convinced, but this Yunping would not dare to believe it.
Somehow, among all Ye Tao's junior disciples, this Yunping little immortal seems to be dissatisfied with Zhao Yi, every time he speaks, he is always yin and yang, and over time, Zhao Yi doesn't want to pay much attention to him.
After Meng Si left, Yun Ping asked with a smile, "Did Miss Zhao visit Xiao Li's mother?"
"Yes" Zhao Yi nodded,
"Miss Zhao thinks of Auntie's condition?"
"My complexion has improved, but I am very depressed because of Mr. Jiang's affairs" Zhao Yi said truthfully, Yunping Xiaoxian paused for a moment, "Oh, Miss Zhao also knows about Mr. Jiang?"
"Yes, Mr. Jiang pulled mountains and waded into Liuyun City for the sake of Yongle City, and now he can't even see his wife and daughter for the sake of the city lord, it's a pity."
"Miss Zhao really thinks so?" Yunping Xiaoxian looked at Zhao Yi with some doubts, but for a while she didn't know why, so she asked, "Is there anything wrong with this?"
"It's nothing, Miss Zhao should go back as soon as possible, so as not to worry about the senior brother, I have to inspect other patients, so I won't send Miss Zhao!"
As soon as Meng Si left, he wanted her to be alone? What is the fear of a person? Zhao Yi disagreed, turned to leave, and only walked a few steps, and vaguely felt that someone was approaching here, but it was not Yun Ping's breath, because he was walking towards the approaching person.
Zhao Yi was still curious about whose pace would be so steady and silent, only the trace of the majestic aura revealed his whereabouts, but he didn't think it would have much to do with her, so he went all the way, and then he turned a corner and felt a depressing atmosphere around him, and he felt bad in his heart, he seemed to be targeted by some monster.
Now that the mana is insufficient, it is still thirty-six tricks to go to the top plan, even if Yun Ping has any opinions on her, he will not see death without help, thinking of this, Zhao Yi wanted to go back, this turn, I saw a man in white walking towards her, tall, and when I got closer, I found that it was a strange man with a demonic spirit, and greeted her gently, "Is the girl lost?
Although he is dressed very elegantly, but the makeup is really flattering, and this depressing atmosphere is also easy to recognize his identity, Zhao Yipi responded with a smile: "No need, I am very familiar with this road, I dare not bother the son"
Saying that, Zhao Yi turned around and left, but the man didn't chase after him, "Ahahahaha......"
The man laughed behind him, Zhao Yi was troubled for a while, and quickened his pace, but the man's voice drifted faintly to his ears.
"Girl, there is no way ahead, why don't you stop?"
Zhao Yi raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and saw that the spacious street in front of him was forced to build a wall by his spell. Zhao Yi was indignant in his heart, this insecurity should not be this kind of insecurity!
Zhao Yi looked at her hand helplessly and a little angrily, if she didn't have self-styled mana, how good would it be, where would a dove beast be her opponent? Thinking about it, an ethereal word floated in the air: "Girl, it's rare for a young and beautiful woman like you to appear in this Xicheng, this time I'm full of eyes."
Saying that, the white figure floated in front of him, Zhao Yi was shocked, an inexplicable panic came to his mind, he screamed and turned to flee, but he crashed into a person's arms, he hugged Zhao Yi as if he was ready, Zhao Yi's mind was buzzing, should it not be impossible to escape, but to throw himself into his arms, right?
This thought really scared her, and she hurriedly looked up to see who it was, but this look, it was like a demon, and she was reluctant to close her eyes.
When I first saw him, Zhao Yi just thought that there would be such a good-looking man, with black and vertical hair, long and thick black eyebrows, clear eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, angular outlines, slender and tall but not rough figure, wearing a white robe, gentle and gentle.
But now seeing the calmness in his eyes, the strength of his hand holding her is just right, Zhao Yi has never needed someone to protect her, but now he is in Ye Tao's arms and lets him deal with the dove beast, and she, the old witch, enjoys the warmth and security of his chest.
With Ye Tao's cultivation, it was really easy to subdue the dove beast all the time, protecting Zhao Yi with one hand, condensing the true qi with the other hand and pushing it to the dove beast, the cyan spell attacked the dove beast, I didn't expect this girl to have such a person to protect, the dove beast was caught off guard, and there was no chance to resist, so it was frozen by Ye Tao's true qi and couldn't move.
Zhao Yi scolded himself for being shameless in his heart, and he was reluctant to leave. But how did his heart beat so fast and hear it so clearly, just when Zhao Yi's face was slightly drunk, he suddenly found that his hand was obviously close to someone's heart, why didn't he feel it?
"Oh no, this is my heartbeat......" Zhao Yi exclaimed in his heart.
