At that time, as soon as Zhuangzi said the cause of the poisoning, Gu Jiu vaguely guessed that it was Li Yue, after all, this method was too tricky and vicious, and not everyone would use it.

Now that we have the answer, it's no surprise.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Yao, after hearing this again, he was instantly stunned, and asked in surprise: "Why, you also know that Dr. Li?" ”

Hearing her words, Gu Jiu nodded, briefly said the time of Lin's poisoning, and said at the end: "His poisoning method is too shady and hidden, and we only found out by mistake, I don't think my mother is the only victim." ”

When Gu Jiu said this, Zhou Yao was speechless.

She opened her mouth for a while before she said, "That Dr. Li, he has been seeing me for a long time. ”

Except for the fact that when she was pregnant in the middle, she stopped taking the medicine because she was afraid that taking the medicine would affect the fetus in her womb, and it has been almost two years.

Thinking that he had been eating poison for so long, Zhou Yao only felt shuddered.

She only thought that it was the reason for her weakness, after all, she had not been in good health since she was a child, and later gave birth to a child and became weaker and weaker, who would have thought that the doctor who helped the world and saved people would become the executioner of murder!

Hearing her words, Gu Jiu also looked a little solemn, and said in a deep voice: "Li Yue is now on death row in the Terracotta Division, and he was sentenced to the Autumn Queen execution at that time, you can find out the real murderer when someone is looking for him at this time." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yaoshi nodded, frowned again, and said, "Actually, if you don't look for him, I can probably guess who the murderer is." ”

The nurse Zheng Yuan confessed to herself and gave her the medicine earlier. The woman was so vicious that she could not be assured that she would not give her anything else.

Gu Jiu obviously thought of it too, and said, "It's better to ask." ”

Zhou Yao nodded in response, and heard Zhuangzi Qi say: "I'll prescribe you a pair of medicine first, and you take it first." ”

As soon as he said this, Gu Jiu was suddenly stunned, and wanted to say something, but he heard Zhou Yao's already thanks: "Thank you, doctor, I'm ...... Do I have any salvation? ”

Zhou Yao's face was full of uneasiness, if it was before, she would indeed not spare her life. But now that she has found her son, it is for the sake of the child, and she also wants to live a few more years.

Seeing her like this, Zhuangzi said in a deep voice: "Your poison has not spread yet, and now the symptoms are not serious, and you can take medicine to recuperate." It's just that your body is not only this problem, postpartum care has not been done well, and now there are some other deficiencies in the body, and if you want to return to the appearance of a normal person, I am afraid that you have to work hard. ”

Zhou Yao didn't expect that he would be able to return to normal, just thinking that even if he survived, he could live one more day.

Now that I heard Zhuangzi say this, I felt a sense of surprise, and almost immediately saluted and thanked him: "Thank you, sir!" ”

Seeing this, Zhuangzi just waved his hand and said, "You stay first, I'll prescribe medicine." ”

When he went, Gu Jiu also left a sentence: "I'll go and help the master." Then he turned and went out with him.

Zhou Yao's family almost cried with joy, Zhou Miao was also surprised by this sudden good news, the two of them were pleasantly surprised, and they didn't find anything wrong with Gu Jiu.

Lin Shi saw it clearly, Gu Jiu was obviously worried, she quietly glanced at the direction Gu Jiu left, and there was a trace of worry in her expression.

……

"Master."

Seeing Gu Jiu following up, Zhuang Ziqi nodded and beckoned: "You came just in time, in the third layer of Duobaoge, there is a small black medicine box, you bring it to me." ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu didn't go, but walked up to him and said softly, "Master, I have something to tell you." ”

As soon as Zhuangzi Qi raised his eyes, he saw the worry on her face, and smiled in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

Aren't you still happy, why is your mood so low in the blink of an eye?

Gu Jiu bit his lip and took a deep breath before asking softly, "Master, wouldn't it be too difficult for you to do this?" ”

There was no beginning or end to what he said, Zhuang Ziqi glanced at her suspiciously, and asked, "What's so difficult?" ”

"It's ......"

Gu Jiu lowered his voice and said, "Didn't you swear before that you wouldn't see people, but now you have repeatedly made an exception, isn't it too embarrassing for you to violate your oath like this?" ”

Fang Cai Zhuangzi promised to see Zhou Yao's family, Gu Jiu was first happy, and then worried.

She didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, but even her rebirth would happen, so it can be seen that there are gods in her head.

Zhuangzi made a vow not to see anyone again, Gu Jiu had already made him so embarrassed for his relatives, and now he came for the third time.

It is said that she can't repeat it again and again, and she is only afraid that if she breaks her oath, it will be detrimental to the Zhuangzi period.

However, the Lin family's affairs cannot be saved without death.

Gu Jiu hesitated and was uneasy in his heart, but now when he talked about it with Zhuangzi Period, he felt that he was a little excessive.

It's all because she is not angry, if she can learn medical skills more thoroughly, she can treat people, so as for letting the master break her oath?

Seeing Gu Jiu's appearance, Zhuangzi was happy.

He thought that the little girl was doing something, and she made trouble during the day, but it turned out to be for this.

However, he rarely saw Gu Jiu's appearance, and for a while, he had a bad taste, and asked with a straight face: "I will naturally be embarrassed, but what do you want me to do, do we want to see death or not save me?" ”

As soon as these words came out, sure enough, seeing that the embarrassed expression on Gu Jiu's face became a little heavier, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master, I do have an idea, it's just a bad idea......"

Zhuangzi couldn't help but break his work, and when he heard her words, he smiled more and more, and asked: "Then you can tell me, a bad idea is better than no idea." ”

"I thought, either you teach me the prescription and I prescribe medicine to her, so that you are just teaching it to the apprentices, not treating people, right?"

She couldn't think of a better way for a while, and although it wasn't appropriate to deceive the gods like this, it wasn't a breach of oath, right?

Hearing Gu Jiu's words, Zhuangzi couldn't help but laugh, raised his hand and knocked on her forehead, and sneered: "Stupid girl, what a bad idea." ”

was vetoed by Zhuangzi himself, Gu Jiu became more and more a little embarrassed, and said, "Then what should I do?" ”

She was really worried about Zhuangzi Period, her eyebrows shrugged down, and she looked a little pitiful.

Zhuangzi sighed, but his expression softened.

He stretched out his hand and touched Gu Jiu's hair, before he said softly: "Silly girl, my previous oath was true, but there was a reason for it at that time. But my Zhuang family has been practicing medicine for generations, and it should help the world and save people. Besides, the people of the Zhou family are placed here with ten oaths, and I am also saved. ”

Because, the Zhou family helped them back then.

The most difficult thing in the world is to repay the kindness, and the debt of the year, now repaid in this way, is already unexpectedly easy.

The latter sentence was not said by Zhuangzi Period, but Gu Jiu could inexplicably see a little sadness in his expression.

"Master......"

Gu Jiu wanted to say something, but saw Zhuang Ziqi pick up the pen again, pointed at her with a smile and said, "Okay, go and help the teacher bring the medicine box." ”

Seeing that he was obviously reluctant to say more, Gu Jiu had to nod and respond, "Yes, I'll go now." ”

When he handed the medicine box to Zhuangzi Period, seeing that he was writing the prescription, Gu Jiu was waiting for Yan Mo on the side, but he couldn't help frowning slightly.

She always felt that there were too many secrets in Zhuangzi's body.

When I first met, I just thought that this was a strange old man who was abducted and deceived, but later I got along with each other, only to find that he was not only well-versed in the past and the present, but also revealed a bit of elegance in his words and deeds.

It is something that has infiltrated the bones, even if the Zhuangzi period has changed too much, it is difficult to erase those imprints.

There are even many things that Zhuangzi himself did not realize.

Moreover, he knows too much.

For example, the affairs in Beijing, and the relationship between various families, when he occasionally talks about it, he can count the treasures of his family.

and the rules and upbringing that he brought out from time to time in his gestures, all of which indicate two things.

First, he should be the son of a large family.

Second, he is in Beijing, or at least has close contacts with the people in Beijing.

But if he really guessed like himself, how could he end up in such a depressed state today?

Moreover......

It's not that Gu Jiu hasn't checked, but at least judging from the news she got, there is no big family surnamed Zhuang in Beijing who is studying medicine, at least there is no one who is as proficient as Zhuangzi period.

His life history is a mystery, and it seems to be a fog shrouded in Zhuangzi's body.

And his occasional sadness, as well as his lame leg, is one of his secrets.

If it was someone else, Gu Jiu had no intention of exploring.

But Zhuangzi is a person she really treats as a master, so she naturally wants to share some of it for him.

Master, Master, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father.

When Gu Jiucai thought of this, he heard Zhuangzi Qi say: "What are you doing in a daze, come here." ”

She came back to her senses suddenly, but saw that Zhuangzi got up at some point, and walked to the door at this time.

Seeing this, she hurriedly put away her thoughts and responded, "Master, how are you?" ”

Zhuangzi glanced at her, raised the prescription in his hand, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

When he said this, he smiled and sighed again: "What a stupid girl, let's go." ”

Gu Jiu was a little indignant for a while, and wanted to refute that he was not stupid, but he didn't say anything, but just snorted to express his dissatisfaction.

After giving the prescription to Zhou Yao's family, Zhuangzi instructed her a few more words, and said at the end: "There is nothing else to pay attention to, and the medicine is also available in ordinary pharmacies, so you can take it for half a month." Wait until the third day of the next month, and come back to me for a follow-up. ”

Zhou Yao put away the prescription and thanked him again: "Thank you, sir, for your great kindness." ”

Zhuangzi Qi waved his hand and said that it was okay, looked at the sky outside, and said, "It's not early, you can go back first." ”

Hearing Zhuangziqi's words, Zhou Yaoshi was a little apprehensive, and asked tentatively: "Then, I took the child away?" ”

When she said this, her heart went up and down. Although it is her own son, she has never taken care of it for a day since she was born, and even if it were not for the Zhuangzi period, the child's life would be gone, where would their mother and son recognize each other now?

Just now, Zhuangzi promised her to take the child away, but now that it was really time to leave, Zhou Yao himself began to beat the drum in his heart first.

Seeing her like this, Zhuang Ziqi sneered and said, "I didn't stop you." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yaoshi immediately raised his eyebrows, thanked him again, and said: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely bring him to see you from time to time, and I will never forget your kindness!" ”

When she said this, she took another deep breath and said softly: "Actually, I know that I have made this request, and I myself have gone too far, after all, you saved him and raised him like a son for so long." I relied on the fact that I was his biological mother, and although I didn't give half of it, I took him away as a matter of course, which is really unfair to you. But...... He's my son, and I've missed the days he lived before he was half a year old, and I really don't want to miss every day of him anymore. ”

Zhou Yaoshi paused, holding back his tears, before letting himself continue to speak: "Sir, Yao Xianyun has nothing to repay in this life, but if Mr. is in need, I am also duty-bound to swordsmen and seas!" ”

Hearing her words, Zhuang Ziqi smiled: "I don't do illegal things, what do you want to do in the sea of swords?" Alright, take him away. ”

Although he had a smile on his face, his expression was lonely for a moment.

The next person handed Xiao Ming'er to Zhou Yao's, who knew that Xiao Ming'er seemed to sense something, and suddenly began to cry.

While crying, he also tried to stretch out his hand to Zhuangzi.

The little guy is very well-behaved, since he picked it up, he is uncomfortable, and his cry is also weak like a milk cat, how can he ever have this appearance?

Zhuangziqi's smile couldn't be maintained in an instant.

The subordinate was a little embarrassed for a while, and he didn't know whether to hand it to Zhou Yao's family, or obey Xiao Ming'er's wishes, and let him go to find Zhuangzi.

Zhuangzi sighed, coughed, and said, "Give it to me." ”

He hugged Xiao Ming'er over, and the little doll grabbed his clothes with attachment, while sobbing aggrievedly.

Xiao Ming'er's face changed quickly, there were still tears on her face, and the sobbing appearance made people's hearts soften.

Zhuangzi has raised him for so long, because he is a milk baby, and he has paid more effort than Lin An, at this time, seeing him like this, he couldn't help but have a little red eyes, but his mouth sneered: "Stinky boy, I didn't raise you in vain." ”

When he said this, he lowered his head and kissed Xiao Ming'er's forehead, and sighed again: "I thought that when you grow up, I will help you find your relatives, but I don't want our father and mother to come over, and follow her back to enjoy happiness." ”

Xiao Ming'er seemed to be able to understand what he was saying, a pair of aggrieved eyes wrapped in tears, looking up at Zhuangzi period, but a pair of small meat hands grabbed his clothes and refused to let go.

Seeing him like this, the Lin family couldn't bear to look at it anymore, and turned his head to wipe his tears with a handkerchief.

Gu Jiu also felt that it was not a taste in his heart, sighed, and gently patted Lin's back again.

Seeing that this room was bleak, Zhuangzi Qi smiled and said lightly: "Okay, it's not life and death, as for it?" After all, Zhou's house is not far from here, and when you are free, you can often bring him over to play. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Miao hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, Mr. is so good, we will definitely have to communicate often in the future." ”

When she saw Xiao Ming'er like this, she felt uncomfortable and worried, for fear that they would not give the child to her sister-in-law.

Everyone is close to each other, although she can talk to Gu Jiu, her heart is still biased towards her sister-in-law.

Seeing that Zhuangzi was so reasonable at this time, Zhou Miao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhou Yao took a deep breath, thanked him again, and said softly: "Thank you, sir, for your great kindness, Yao Xianyun remembers." ”

Seeing her like this, Zhuangzi handed the child to her, and waited for her to hold it carefully, before saying, "Okay, you guys should go back too." ”

When Xiao Ming'er arrived in Zhou Yao's arms, she began to want to cry again, she hurriedly coaxed in a low voice, and when she saw him turn his head and want to find Zhuangzi Period, she couldn't help but feel sad.

She saluted with a forced smile, said a few words of greeting and left with Xiao Ming'er.

Gu Jiu asked the elders to rest, and went to send them to the door by himself, and after the Zhou family left, Gu Jiu came back, and saw that the expressions of the Lin family and Zhuangzi period were not very good-looking.

Lin sighed a little, but Zhuangzi's eyebrows and eyes were sad.

She was suddenly a little sad, and softly comforted: "Master, don't feel uncomfortable, can I bring you lo-mei?" ”

That Xiao Ming'er has been raised by the master for so long, and now he is suddenly taken away, as long as he can bear it, he will not bring out emotions on his face.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiu felt more and more sour in his heart.

Hearing her words, Zhuang Ziqi came back to his senses, waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not hungry now, let's eat again at night." ”

When he said this, he raised his eyes to see Gu Jiu's expression, deliberately relaxed his voice again, got up and said, "Ah Jiu, don't worry, I'm not uncomfortable, Xiao Ming'er has finally found a home, and his relatives treat him well, it's too late for me to be happy." The Zhou family, that is a place of happiness, is better than following an old man like me. ”

Although he said this, he couldn't help but panic in his heart, and said again: "I still have the last bit of my herb left, I'll finish grinding." ”

When he said this, Zhuang Ziqi seemed to be afraid that Gu Jiu would see his expression, and went out while talking.

It's just that in the back, there is a bit of rickets in the end.

Gu Jiu saw him leave quickly, his nose suddenly became sore, and he said softly, "Mother, did I do something wrong?" ”

If she concealed the news and didn't tell the Zhou family, then Xiao Ming'er would be the master's only child in this life, instead of being taken away like now.

Hearing her words, Lin also sighed a little, and said in a soft voice: "Good boy, you didn't do anything wrong. Now that Xiao Ming'er has been recognized by his family, not only do he have more people who love him, but in the future, he and Mr. Zhuang can still be as close as before. But if we hide it, for the rest of our lives, our relatives will be the knot in Xiao Ming'er's heart. ”

Gu Jiu understands the truth, but now he sees the back of Zhuangzi Period, but he sighs: "I just think that Master is very pitiful......"

Looking at his back, he looks like a homeless widow.

That's right, it's not just like, it's clearly it.

He has no home and no relatives, Lin An is his apprentice, and he is also an apprentice, even if he is like a father, it is not true in the end.
