Chapter 55: The Past (1)

"Senior Brother Cheng, is this dust binding very famous?" Wang Xi walked to the table, took out the tea leaves that Senior Brother Liu had ground from Senior Brother, soaked them in cold water, and boiled them directly with purple quartz......

Then he said, "Senior brother, sit down, sit down, sit down and speak slowly." ”

Xiao Yi looked at Wang Xi's actions and was a little puzzled.

It's not that she doesn't understand, after watching so many movies and television, she naturally knows that Wang Xi is entertaining Cheng Peng, and she looks flattering, and she looks like she has something to ask for others.

Although this is actually strictly speaking, it is not a big deal, but in an instant, Xiao Yi felt that Wang Xi was mature.

It's a bit ridiculous to say, where is there such a way to judge whether a person is mature or not, maybe even a seven-year-old child knows how to pour tea and greet guests.

But Xiao Yi's intuition is like this, Wang Xi in the past would not have these actions, and it is very likely that now, at this moment, he has not noticed that this is the first time he has made tea for people.

Maturity is always a slow and painful process. But no matter who he is, there is always a landmark event that represents him, and from then on, the way of thinking about problems and receiving people and things is different.

Wang Xi may feel that he grew up overnight on last year's birthday, or it may be last year's National Day when he pushed Senior Brother Zhou in a wheelchair in front of him and Belle, or it could be the night when he was in the obstacle and the Christmas Eve when a hole was made in his chest.

As for Xiao Yi, this boy who looked decrepit when they first met, he accompanied himself crazy, promised to rob him of money, and he could also kidnap his senior brothers. When he encounters an enemy, he will not hesitate to pull himself behind him, and at that time, he was still so weak. When he finds that he has been wronged and bullied, he will go berserk, he will go crazy, and he will be like a demon from the abyss of hell, brutally abusing and killing those who bully him......

It's just that, in Xiao Yi's opinion, is not mature......

These can only show that Wang Xi cares about me very much......

But at this moment, Wang Xi's act of making tea for Senior Brother Cheng, which had nothing to do with herself, touched her.

It turns out that many things are not as vigorous as imagined, but just a casual moment in life, which is dull.

She has been simple since she was a child, and she doesn't know if maturity can be equated with sleek and sophisticated. She only knew that no matter what kind of Wang Xi was, it would make her feel at ease.

This peace of mind comes from the existence of Wang Xi himself.

Even if Wang Xi was lying there and falling asleep, or ignoring himself and reading a book seriously, he might be running around the playground and then raising his head and smiling at himself every time he passed by.

All of these can make him feel at ease.

As far as the eye can see, with him, I feel that everything is fine.

Is this a heart-warming feeling?

No, it's obviously a feeling of tranquility, and it's the opposite of the heartbeat in the literal sense.

But Xiao Yi didn't know that the words heartbeat and calmness, occasionally, sometimes, many times, most of the time, have always been the same way!

Wang Xi didn't know what Xiao Yi was thinking at all, so he directly handed Cheng Peng tea and said, "Come, senior brother, talk about it." ”

Cheng Peng was a little embarrassed by his actions, and said, "Senior brother, you ask your senior brother about these, how can you ask me?" ”

Wang Xi smiled, told the truth, and said: "I only got this dust binding before I set off, and I have always been used to not having a knife, but now that I have it, I forgot it, if it weren't for it...... Primary One Reminder...... Maybe I forgot about it. I remember that when I first took it out of the mourning hall, the senior brother said its name, so it seems that there is a story in it. ”

Cheng Peng heard Wang Xi say this, he knew in his heart, "oh", and then said: "Here's the thing, the former master of the dust binding, called Qiao Jia, the strength of the predecessors at that time was not recorded in too much detail, but according to the things he did, it can be inferred that he is probably between the deputy chief physician and the chief physician, depending on whether his state at that time is good or not." Qiao Jia's predecessors lived in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, hidden in the Guozijian, you also know that the change of dynasty has always been the time when there are the most dead, especially this kind of uprising, which is not entirely an uprising within the Han people, but also involves ethnic disputes, which is naturally more cruel. The approximate background of the times, that's it.

"At that time, the Tai Hospital, as in the past, never participated in the struggle for the change of dynasty, and even after the new regime was established, the seniors would be reinstated and continue to do what they were supposed to do. This is very easy to understand, in ancient times, those who finally won the championship will naturally believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, and after facing the supernatural powers displayed by the predecessors of the Tai Hospital, they will naturally understand. This is one of the reasons why later emperors eventually gave up the idea of immortality. Because the predecessors of the Tai Hospital will reveal the truth and essence of this world for them, for these emperors, they are qualified to understand all this.

"Therefore, the emperors of the past dynasties actually wanted to envelop them the most. Don't believe the scenes in the TV series where you have to behead the imperial doctor at every turn, except for the Qing palace drama, this kind of plot is basically rare. This is indeed because the predecessors of the Tai Hospital in that period were a little smaller, and when they were provoked by the Manchu shaman, the whole world evaporated, and the whole body was reduced to zero, leaving a shell of the Tai Hospital to the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. It may be that the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I was unhappy, so we made an appointment to kill the shaman. Continuing with what I said just now, the envelope mentioned before does not mean that I have taken a fancy to their medical skills in curing diseases and saving people, but that they can be used to influence the situation on the battlefield. It's just that this kind of thing, the predecessors of the Tai Hospital don't interfere, the predecessors at that time believed in the way of heaven more than we do now, and the dynasty qi is exhausted, that is, it is over, don't go against the sky. If they go to the battlefield, the cause and effect of the contamination will not know how heavy, and it may even change the trend of history! In this case, the emperors have no way to use the strong. At the beginning, he wielded the butcher's knife and killed the Wu Yimai, and now the remaining doctors are their last reliance. And the seniors of the Tai Hospital, in addition to their own insistence on this point, the others are easy to discuss and very obedient. Therefore, the last request of the emperors is often to leave their own bloodlines and ask the hospital to help take care of them.

And Qiao Jia's predecessor took this errand. With the character of Ming Taizu, how can he tolerate the orphans of the previous dynasty? Therefore, Qiao Jia's predecessors could only take the little princess of the Yuan Dynasty who was only fourteen years old and hid in Yunnan together. You should know that at that time, going to Yunnan was basically equivalent to distribution, inaccessible and lofty. Therefore, Qiao Jia's predecessors took the little princess, and after arriving in Yunnan, they were also at ease.

"Just find a small village, build a few thatched houses, with Qiao Jia's predecessors' medical skills, you will live very comfortably anywhere. Especially in this kind of simple place, there is such a living god in the village, and everyone is eager to make offerings. But after a long time, it is easy to have accidents.

"You think, the one who can receive this errand will definitely not be the top combat power in the Tai Hospital, but since you promised the emperor of the previous dynasty, it is impossible to send an apprentice to do it. Therefore, Qiao Jia's senior, whose strength was probably at the level of attending physician at that time, was selected. That year, he was twenty-four years old, ten years older than the little princess. ”

When Cheng Peng said this, he may indeed be a little thirsty, picked up the teacup, and with a grip in his hand, the hot tea instantly turned into herbal tea.

Wang Xi and Xiao Yi were both interested, Xiao Yi had already gotten off the bed and sat next to Wang Xi to listen to Cheng Peng's story.

And Wang Xi, when Cheng Peng said the last sentence, he reacted, Qiao Jia's predecessor is going to suffer.

"They live incognito in an unknown village. Of course, Qiao Jia's seniors still keep in touch with the Tai Hospital, receiving small tasks from time to time and regularly going to receive money. After all, the little princess who led others to the court, although low-key is the theme, it can't be too shabby. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were indeed a little worse in terms of governance, but at least when they were in power, they were very interesting to the Tai Hospital. Therefore, this little money, the hospital paid out of its own pocket and sent it to Qiao Jia on time, which by the way is equivalent to confirming the safety of the next two.

"The days were uneventful, nothing was turbulent. Such a nameless small village, in addition to small bridges and flowing water, is green water and green mountains, and the population is only about 60 households. When the two of them have nothing to do, they like to choose a hillside to lie down and watch the people in the village rise and sunset. Anyway, the two of them don't go to production, and their income is not worried. ”

When Wang Xi heard this, he said, "Have you fallen in love for a long time? ”

Cheng Peng said helplessly: "It's very clichΓ©, but it's also reasonable." In two years, the little princess is sixteen years old, and her love is beginning to open, you say, what kind of feelings will she have for such a person who has been guarding her side like a brother? She and Qiao Jia's predecessors get along day and night, how can she not let her find some clues? Besides, she was originally a member of the royal family, and before she was entrusted to the Tai Hospital, she must have explained to her, letting her know what kind of abilities the guards around her actually have. ”

Wang Xi nodded, the little princess of the Yuan Dynasty suffered a big change, and her life of brocade clothes and jade food was cut off, and then she was forced to brush her three views. At this time, it is natural to have some different feelings for the people around you who have been getting along and relying on day and night. Especially, fifteen or sixteen years old is a dangerous age.

The beginning of love.

"And then?" Xiao Yi asked first.

Cheng Peng said: "Time continues to pass, and another two years have passed like this. Qiao Jia's predecessor was twenty-eight years old, and the little princess of the Yuan Dynasty was eighteen years old. Qiao Jia's predecessors have been in the past four years, and their main task is to protect the people around them, and they have nothing else to do. Of course, maybe he also sensed some of the little princess's thoughts, because he quickly applied to the Tai Hospital for a replacement. The reason is that his combat strength should not be buried there, and the Tai Hospital can consider replacing someone who is a little younger and has the same strength as himself at the beginning to continue this long-term mission.

"Too much hospital to see, yes, how to forget this person, people's strength will grow, these four years have passed, the strength of the young man is now a little stronger, no, it's too wasteful. So he immediately agreed, and someone else came over.

"I don't know what purpose and mood Qiao Jia's predecessor made such a decision at that time, because from the later records, it seems that he has always had a little princess in his heart. It's just that, maybe in that era, the concepts were different, and the difference in identity was there, so he couldn't move forward, he had to do this, afraid that he would fall deeper and deeper. For four years, he had become accustomed to taking care of the little princess, protecting her, guarding her, and even when he slept at night, he closed his eyes on the roof, night after night. Therefore, in the early morning, Senior Qiao Jia pointed to a strange man beside him and told the little princess, saying that in the future, he will guard you, and the hospital has other things to arrange for me. At that time, the little princess was completely stunned, she felt that her world had collapsed!

Qiao Jia's predecessor disappeared into her life, and she disappeared very abruptly, without any warning, and even evidence of Qiao Jia's predecessor's existence was still in front of her. His clothes, his cups, his bed, his flowers and plants, his own stakes for practice...... It's all still there. But the man is gone.

"Uh, it's all documented?" Wang Xi was surprised.

Xiao Yi was a little dissatisfied and was interrupted by Wang Xi, pinched him hard, and said, "Such a romantic story, where is your focus?!" ”

Wang Xi muttered in a low voice: "Originally, how could these things be written down, the author is on the scene?" ”

Xiao Yi squinted at her and said, "Then do you listen?" ”

Wang Xi smiled and said, "Senior Brother Cheng, you continue to continue." ”

Cheng Peng also smiled: "In the book, naturally it will not be recorded in such detail and vividly, I have also heard this story, and I have not read the original paperwork." Actually, I also thought that maybe this story is too famous in the history of our hospital or Tai Hospital, so that everyone will continue to enrich the details of the story and the characters according to their own wishes and expectations in word of mouth. Perhaps, this story should have been very bland...... Well, no, the ending of this story is doomed to be dull. ”

Cheng Peng paused when he said this, and said, "Because in the end, Qiao Jia's predecessor killed the little princess." ”

His tone was very understated, as if he was talking about something as trivial as what to eat tonight, but Wang Xi and Xiao Yi were surprised that they couldn't say anything.

Cheng Peng sighed, but changed the topic and said, "Do you know? The reason why the Dust Binding Knife is so famous comes from this. In the past, the predecessors of Tai Hospital did not have the habit of naming knives, and this is the origin, which was named by Qiao Jia's predecessors, the first knife with a name. And since it is a knife, it can only be a knife. ”
