Chapter 197: Helper?
"I ...... I ......" Guan Shan turned his face weakly, but he knew that he had lost the game, and if he relied on the account at this time, it would be a little too ugly, so he said hesitantly: "Just apologize, and those rumors will disappear tomorrow, so it's okay." β
In fact, Sinan knows that once the rumors are spread, there is still a possibility of retracting them, but she has never cared about these, the clear ones are self-clear, she has a clear conscience, and she doesn't want to care about the rest.
The competition with Guan Shan came to an end, Sinan was allowed to use the medicinal materials in the medicine garden of the Tai Hospital at will, and Guan Shan also assigned her a subordinate to summon her.
Sinan took the key to the alchemy pharmacy and went to the room. She knew early on how she thought Guan Shan's character could assign her a good room, and when she saw it, she found that it was not true.
The alchemy pharmacy was in a remote place in the Tai Hospital, far away from the medicine garden that was growing well, the back of the room was facing the shade, and only a short time in the afternoon could get sunlight, and the room was very old, and the Dan furnace and utensils were dusty.
In the face of such a depressed place, Sinan didn't have any disgusted expression, on the contrary, she was very calm, and to a certain extent, she still liked this place, secluded, few people, and almost no one came back to disturb her.
And these Chen Shi in the house, she almost can't use it, she has a special Dan furnace for refining medicine, and the quality is not much better than this.
Sinan pointed his finger at the dusty furniture and muttered, "It should still be usable after a little cleaning......"
"Bang dang!"
Suddenly, a heavy muffled sound came from the attic on the second floor, as if something had fallen, Si Nan's expression was grim, but he noticed that there was no murderous aura in the air.
She looked at the staircase leading to the second floor and said coldly, "Who?" Don't be sneaky, come out! β
"Boomβ"
"Bang dang!"
The person upstairs seemed to be frightened by Sinan's voice, and he paused to become in a hurry, as if he had knocked something down, and after a series of chaotic noises, an iron washbasin rolled down the stairs, ding ding dong, knocking the dust on the stairs everywhere.
As soon as the basin rolled down, a man was seen rolling down from it.
"Bang!" With a bang, the round rumbling head hit the door panel, and the man hissed in pain, but he still stood up with his head covered and staggered to Sinan.
Let's just say that she is a little girl, because this little person has a plain beaded flower on her head, and this beaded flower is the only color on her body. The child is probably older than Si Zihuai, eleven or twelve years old, but his body is very thin, and he is shorter than ordinary children of the same age.
She was dressed in a dark brown coarse cloth, her hair was messy and covered with a lot of fine dust, and her little face was as unsightly as a little cat.
The little girl grinned when she saw Sinan, showing her white teeth, and her immature voice was a little excited, and a little timid: "Hello Sinan, I am the subordinate assigned to you by Master Guan, my name is Ren Xiaoshuang, you can just call me Xiaoshuang!" β
Sinan looked at her, and suddenly understood why Guan Shan was so kind, and took the initiative to help her arrange her subordinates.
Heh, where is this to help, it's just what a half-old child can do, and look at Ren Xiaoshuang's stupid and sweet appearance, she is clumsy when she does her work, thank God if she doesn't help her.
"Lord Sinan?" Seeing that Sinan didn't speak for a long time, Ren Xiaoshuang felt that Sinan was dissatisfied with herself, so she hurriedly said: "Don't drive me away, for this job, I received a notice from Lord Guan early in the morning, so I came to clean up the attic, but I was afraid that adults would think it was dirty here and be in a bad mood." β
Jiang is still old and spicy, it seems that Guan Shan has been prepared for a long time.
Sinan glanced at her, looked around again, and looked at her with a very calm gaze again, but there was a clear word in his eyes, "Where's the cleaning?" How I didn't see it. β
Ren Xiaoshuang: "Forehead ......"
Looking at the room that was still covered with dust and almost no work progress, she also felt embarrassed.
She scratched her hair, and suddenly as if she thought of something, she pointed to the staircase and said excitedly: "Second floor! I cleaned the second floor, adults can go to the second floor to rest first, and I will clean the first floor immediately! β
Who knows, as soon as Ren Xiaoshuang's words fell, she heard another dingdong sound from upstairs, followed by a bang, countless debris poured down from the staircase, and even piled up on the way to the second floor.
Ren Xiaoshuang: "......" She feels that there is no most embarrassing thing in life, only more embarrassing.
"Okay." She scratched her head and pursed the corners of her lips, "Actually, this is the room where the Tai Hospital is piled up with debris......"
Listening to Ren Xiaoshuang's words, Sinan felt that her heart was still calm, because she had long expected that Guan Shan would not assign her any good rooms, which was also expected.
But Ren Xiaoshuang saw that Sinan didn't say anything, and there was no expression on his face, because he couldn't see joy and anger, he took the opportunity to substitute Sinan's angry fantasy, and began a wave of inexplicable and dispensable comfort.
"My lord, don't be sad, Lord Guan didn't do it on purpose, it's really too many of the hospital's alchemy pharmacies, my lord, you suddenly want to come in, and you can't miss the time point for a while, and you can't leave the room to be here for the time being."
Ren Xiaoshuang became more and more energetic the more she persuaded, raised her dark little face, and said with a smile: "And you see, this place is not too bad, it is the largest pool in the hospital when you go out, and you don't have to go all the way to fetch water for refining medicine in the future, and the sun can't shine in this room, I know that there are many medicines that are most afraid of being exposed to the sun, which also saves a lot of trouble!" β
She rubbed her little hands, couldn't help but look at Sinan, and said, "So, don't be angry, adult......"
Sinan looked down at the little girl in front of him slightly-well, not only is it silly and sweet, but also more idealistic, and the hospital is really wonderful.
"Who said I was sad?"
"Huh?" Ren Xiaoshuang was stunned for a moment, and didn't react, "No, don't everyone come to the Tai Hospital to study, they are arranged here, and there are no resources nearby, so they can't learn things, right...... Shouldn't you be sad? β
Well, it's quite logical, but Ren Xiaoshuang doesn't know what kind of medical genius is standing in front of him, and geniuses don't need guidance.
"What's there to be sad about." Sinan's voice was faint, and then she turned around to pack up other things, and she took down all the sundries that were originally piled on the table.
While Sinan was taking it, he heard a surprised voice from behind: "Isn't it for nothing to learn, how can you not be sad?" β
Sinan laughed silently, and before he answered, he heard Ren Xiaoshuang start talking to himself.
She took a deep breath and sighed: "But that's right, I heard that Lord Sinan was the hero who put down the rebellion of King Zhou, and he was selected to enter the realm of nothingness as a special entrant, I think it is very powerful, and I can learn the art of alchemy without being taught." β
"Oh?" Si Nan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth were lightly raised with a bit of interest: "You think I'm amazing just by relying on these?" What if it's fake? β
"How can it be fake!" The words of rebuttal almost blurted out of Ren Xiaoshuang's mouth, she raised her eyebrows, and said confidently: "Pacifying the rebellion of King Zhou is a military attack, and everything on the battlefield is fought out by flesh and blood, how can it be cost?" There is also the matter of the realm of nothingness, Lord Xiujie is one of the seven realms in the Central Plains, who can, who dares to cheat on him! β
Sinan smiled silently, but there was a different feeling in his heart, maybe sometimes adults don't live as well as children.
Sinan's action of cleaning up the sundries stopped, turned his head to look at Ren Xiaoshuang, and asked: "There are a lot of rumors about me, in addition to this, I should have heard of some other things, such as waste without cultivation, such as disrespecting women and disgrace the royal family, and then hugging the prince's thigh, and so on?" β
Ren Xiaoshuang pursed her lips, and after a few seconds, she nodded slowly: "I've heard of ......."
Sinan raised his eyes and looked at her, waiting for the following.
Ren Xiaoshuang kept her head down, and it took a long time before she raised her eyes to look at Sinan, "But I don't believe it." β
The immature, unpolluted eyes flashed with firmness, and Ren Xiaoshuang's voice was not so small, "I just think that Lord Sinan is not that kind of person, there is light in his eyes, which is different from those people." β
This answer shocked Sinan, but it's not wrong to think about it, children are like this, they like to judge a person's quality with their own intuition, not only Ren Xiaoshuang, but also Si Zihuai.
Maybe she was like this when she was very young, but as she grew older, her experience increased and decreased, and she saw more and more people, she would find that her vision was not so accurate at all.
Sinan looked at her and smiled, didn't ask anything more, only said lightly: "Okay, go and clean up the second floor, don't be too clean, we mainly use the first floor." β
Seeing Sinan calling herself, Ren Xiaoshuang was very happy, she smiled, showed two cute little tiger teeth, and nodded vigorously, "I'll go now!" β
Sinan and Ren Xiaoshuang worked together, and it took nearly an hour and a half to clean up this utility room.
The original dilapidated, dirty and messy utility room was cleaned up and renovated, Ren Xiaoshuang looked at the fruits of his labor and was in a good mood, and while admiring, he said to Si Nan.
"My lord, do you know, I've been in the hospital for more than a year, and I can't do anything well, every time I am assigned to work from above, I mess up, so I am scolded every time, and those who came in at the same time as me were received by famous alchemists, just me, and no one wants to ...... for chores."
Sinan had never seen Ren Xiaoshuang have such a lonely look on her face, her head hung very low, and her whole person was very unenergetic, which was completely different from before.
Sinan looked at her, and didn't know what to say about this girl, whether she was too naΓ―ve and real, or whether being with her could make people unload their vigilance.
"So, you came to the Tai Hospital to learn the art of alchemy?"
"That's right." Ren Xiaoshuang nodded, looking at the blue sky, and her low voice floated softly to the sky.
"My mother and my father are not natives of Kyoto, our family fled earlier, but at that time, the refugees were not allowed to enter the city, and if our family fell outside the city, we would all starve to death, so my father took us to climb the city wall, and in order to let me and my mother enter the city safely, he broke a leg and left a lifelong disability......
Ren Xiaoshuang pursed the corners of her lips, and her voice was a little lower: "Although our family survived in the city, the only father in the family who could earn money fell, and my mother could only run around for a living every day, she worked hard to raise me, and she had to serve my father, and her body couldn't support it last winter and fell ill." β
Speaking of this, Ren Xiaoshuang finally couldn't help crying, and her low voice was choked with sobs, which was even more distressing.
"My mother had a strange disease, the doctor said that there was no cure, and she could only use medicine to hang her life, but the medicine was too expensive, and our family couldn't afford it at all.
