The day after Ruan Aoxing left, Xiaobai thought for a long time, wrote a lot of letters, and finally finished it, put a thick stack of paper in a cowhide envelope, and marked it with chopsticks according to the custom, just wait for the person who sent the letter to come, and then send it.

In the night sky after the rain, the stars are like moonlight all over the curtain, floating in the breeze in the treetops, in the warm and sweet snort, flowing out of a crisp heart, Xiaobai shook the banana fan and lay in the small courtyard to enjoy the coolness, thinking that Lin Wenjuan was not happy in Chen's house, and thinking that Lin Wenhai finally put down his body to make friends with Mrs. Shang Did he touch the nail, he was also the second lady of the Lin family, but he never went back to visit Mrs. Lin, was it a little unfilial or something, drowsiness hit, and he fell asleep on the bamboo chair.

I don't know how long later, a quick knock on the door came from the front, which woke Xiaobai up, and she realized that she had fallen asleep like this, and after two hours, stretching her waist, she thought to herself what a big thing it must be to rush in the middle of the night. She didn't move at first, thinking that the people outside would leave when they noticed that no one responded inside, but the knock on the door became more and more urgent, and almost the entire door panel was removed, so Xiaobai put on her shoes, frowned and muttered: "I was really born to be tired!" Then he shouted "Here he is"! Flew out.

The people outside the door finally waited for the sound of the bolt from the door, and before Xiaobai stood firm, he pushed it out hard, which frightened Xiaobai, and he fell to the ground with the heavy deadbolt at once, "ouch", and the man knew that he was reckless, and hurriedly stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

Xiaobai was woken up in the middle of the night, he was already in a bad mood, and he accidentally fell, he was very annoyed, and said loudly: "Why are you in a hurry!" Didn't I open the door! Why are you pushing so hard! ”

The man held the deadbolt in his hand and apologized: "Girl, I didn't mean it, I'm really in a hurry, and there is no way to do it." He put the door bolt book behind the door, stretched out his hand and pulled Xiaobai up, and then said: "Later, the girl can let me make amends as much as she wants, just begging the girl, can you sell me some of the jars of amber walnut kernels that I gave my little master last time." ”

"Walnut?" Xiaobai frowned, every day ushered in the send-off, she sent out too many walnut kernels, she blinked, and finally remembered, she had seen the man in front of her, "Just for a little walnut, you will smash my door with all your might?" What's the hurry? ”

"The girl only said that she would sell it or not, as long as the girl sold me a jar, it would be as much silver as it was." The man obviously had no intention of whirling, and even his breath gradually became cold.

Xiaobai subconsciously took a step back, frowned and said, "No." Seeing that the thirst in the man's eyes suddenly turned into anger, Xiaobai continued: "Really no, all the walnut kernels made last year were given away." ”

"You!" The man thought that it was his unreasonableness that made Xiaobai tell a lie, he was very angry, and he knew that he couldn't be angry at her, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, a few more people came in the back, and the first one was an old man with gray hair and a gray beard, who looked in good spirits, but his eyes were full of life, and his hands were dry and thin, which made people very uncomfortable.

Five steps away, there is a woman, dressed like the housewife of an ordinary rich and noble family, and she also has some temperament and deterrence, but in Xiaobai's opinion, she is a little nondescript, it seems that she wants to be gentle, but she can't hide the meanness in her bones; I want to show the majesty of a superior person, but my eyebrows and eyes seem to be a little hesitant.

The middle-aged woman next to her, holding an eight or nine-year-old boy in her arms, had a fair face, a weak body, and some abnormal flush on her cheeks.

As soon as the old man came in, he saw Xiao Bai standing in the hall, Xiao Bai's scrutinizing eyes naturally did not escape his eyes, he has lived for nearly a hundred years, what kind of person has not seen it, but this one in front of him is like a more powerful soul living in the shell, which should not be underestimated.

He motioned for the man who came in first to serve the woman behind him to sit down, and then walked up to Xiao Bai and said with a smile: "Little white girl, in Xia Baiku, if the old witch offended you just now, please don't care, he is also anxious for the little master of the Yaxian County Palace, and some words are excessive, which is reasonable." ”

Yaxian County Palace? Then this lady should be what Yuan Luo told her, the current princess Wenqing, as for the boy, it should be the second son who has been sick as Lin Wenhai said. Xiao Bai glanced at the people in the hall again, all of them seemed to be unreachable existences of mortals, which was unpleasant. She didn't speak, and her gaze returned to the old man.

"Don't hide it from the little white girl, my little master has some old diseases, this is not a secret, every rainy season, there will be some cough, in the past, it was the old man who boiled medicinal soup in the county king's mansion, but now he is in a hurry, he didn't expect such a coincidence, not only encountered this rainy season, but also made the old medicine box accidentally lost. It just so happened that the old witch in the house mentioned the amber walnut kernel given by the little white girl not long ago, although it is not a cure, but it can alleviate the illness of my little master, I don't know if the girl can cut a bottle of love. ”

Xiaobai sneered: "I'm still the same sentence, it's the same for anyone to ask, no." ”

Bai Ku smiled: "The little white girl is still angry, it seems that the old witch has really made the girl unhappy, old witch!" ”

"Lord Hyakuse." The old witch took a step forward, and when he was about to take the second step, his face suddenly turned iron-blue, and then one of his arms quickly turned purple, but in a few breaths, those bruised veins turned dark red and began to ooze blood, and his palms and five fingers were also twisted into a ball, which was extremely terrifying. But even so, the old witch did not fall from beginning to end, let alone shout.

Xiaobai was surprised, not that the speed of poisoning was staggering, nor that the iron will of the old witch was admirable, but that the indifference and slaughter presented by the county king's mansion made her feel cold, and even the child in her arms showed an indifference to her life. Thinking of the owner of the Chu Pavilion, Xiao Bai couldn't help but feel a sense of pity for her in his heart, what Yuan Luo said was right, in the county king's mansion, except for the madman, he is a fool.

Bai Ku was also surprised by Xiaobai's calmness, and said: "Little white girl, the old man has already punished the offender, now, you can cede a jar of walnut kernels, right?" ”

Xiaobai frowned and said, "Even if you kill him, I won't have it." ”

At this time, the boy in the arms of the middle-aged woman suddenly coughed violently, this movement made Baiku completely impatient, and he saw that the green tendons on the forehead of the woman sitting upright were bursting out because of the force, and the last kindness was also burned out.

Xiaobai suddenly said: "He's coughing like this, what walnuts are he eating, I'll go cook some pear juice." Without waiting for a few people to react, he turned around and ran into the kitchen.

The woman on the seat slammed the table, suppressed her anger and said, "Cheap people! ”

"Princess! Be careful! The nurse behind her reminded her slightly, and gently patted the back of the child in her arms, and said: "After returning home this time, the princess must remember not to take the little master out again, there are many changes in the weather, how can there be a certainty?" It was expected that Lord Baiku's medicine had run out, and it was only a matter of course for the princess to carefully plan how to find those precious herbs. ”

Wen Qing glanced sideways at her son who was short of breath, her eyes were full of tears, and she couldn't say a word of heartache, she naturally knew that the current welcome was the only hope, she could have asked the old witch to ask about the golden pill honey by herself, but she just wanted to hear Bai Ku tell him at the first time that the pill had been made and her son's cough was saved.

"Tie her up." Wen Qing said coldly.

"No." Bai Ku hurriedly spoke to stop, "I see that this girl is a little arrogant, in case she is tied up and she doesn't speak, but there is really no hope at all." ”

The nurse also stood up to persuade, "Yes, princess, the little devil is difficult." ”

"Damn it!" Wen Qing scolded fiercely.
