Chapter 154: A Bowl of Medicine
Cao Zhijin came back from collecting medicine from the mountain and saw Wen Zhi sitting outside the house, leaning against the door frame and looking in the direction of the courtyard.
It wasn't until he saw her that the worry in his eyes dissipated, and his face was full of joy.
"Sister, you're back!"
He struggled to stand up, but Cao Zhijin immediately unloaded the bamboo basket on his back and ran over to help him: "Brother, why did you come out?"
"It's dangerous in the mountains, I'm worried about you!"
He was covered in dust, and he must have crawled all the way from his bed to the door!
Seeing him like this, Cao Zhijin couldn't cry or laugh: "Brother, you are so stupid, this is not a deep mountain or old forest, and the sun is good, what danger can I have?" I'll help you in first, you rest for a while, and I'll boil the medicine! ”
"You're a girl going up the mountain alone, of course it's dangerous!" Wen Zhi insisted.
Cao Zhijin did not argue with him, helped him into the room, and came out to boil medicine under the eaves.
Although this mountain is not deep, the soil quality is good, and Cao Zhijin has not walked much to the top of the mountain before he encounters herbs for the treatment of internal injuries.
Because it is a fresh herb, it only needs to be boiled for half an hour, and the medicinal effect will come out easily.
The room was dark, and Cao Zhijin was afraid that he would be burned by drinking the medicine when he smelled it, so he deliberately cooled the medicine outside until it was warm and brought it in.
Wen Zhi heard her footsteps and struggled to sit down, as if he was very cramped.
Cao Zhijin handed him the medicine bowl and said, "Brother, drink the medicine, it's not hot anymore!"
Wen Zhi took the medicine bowl, and his hand trembled obviously.
He brought the bowl to his lips and choked on a sip of his cough.
Cao Zhijin hurriedly took the medicine bowl in his hand and patted him on the back with his hand to help him calm down.
Wen Zhi was even more embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "Let ...... Ahem, cough, let my sister smile, I'm too ...... Ahem...... So excited! ”
Cao Zhijin asked strangely, "What's so exciting about this?"
Wen Zhi explained: "It's because my family was poor and didn't have money to buy medicine, and my sister and I were sick before, and we all survived directly...... This is the first time I have drunk medicine in my memory! ”
Cao Zhijin only felt sad, but he was full of gratitude.
Cao Zhijin didn't know what to say for a while.
He swallowed all the medicine in the medicine bowl with a cough, and still held the bowl in both hands without meaning to hand it to Cao Zhijin.
He looked at Cao Zhijin and said gratefully, "Thank you, sister!"
"What did my brother say?" Cao Zhijin said disapprovingly, "If my brother hadn't been to protect me just now, he wouldn't have been kicked and injured by the soldiers of Chenwangfu, and curing my brother is what I should do!" ”
Wen Zhi smiled and said: "If this is the case, since you are my sister, my brother should protect my sister, and what should be offset by what should be offset by what should be done, then I still want to thank you for this bowl of medicine!"
"Brother drink medicine and sleep, it will help heal his injuries." Cao Zhijin was not ready to continue the topic, and reached out to take the bowl in his hand.
He gently withdrew the bowl to the side and smiled embarrassedly, "I'll put it back myself later."
Cao Zhijin didn't force it, and said to him: "I've been out for some time, it's time to go back, there are fruits I picked for you in the bamboo basket, you can eat them after washing them, and I'll come to see my brother tomorrow!"
"Well, sister go back and be careful!" Wen Zhi said to her with concern.
Cao Zhijin answered, walked to the courtyard to wash his face, and went down the mountain.
Waiting for Cao Zhijin to get out of the yard, Wen Zhi struggled to get out of bed, tightly grasped the medicine bowl with one hand and carefully moved it out with the other hand firmly against the wall, squatted next to the gate, picked up a hard stone on the ground, turned the bowl over, and wrote the word "brocade" on the bottom of the bowl.
Brocade, brocade!
Cao Zhijin returned to the inn, Zhao Xiaomei was not in the room, she went to knock on the room of Phi Xing, but she didn't expect that it was Yan Shan who opened the door!
"Girl, you're finally back!" Compared with Cao Zhijin's surprise at Yan Shan's appearance in the starry room, Yan Shan saw that she was too calm!
"You're looking for me?" Cao Zhijin pointed to himself and asked.
Yan Shan nodded, opened the door completely and said to her, "Come in!"
She looks like a hostess.
Cao Zhijin walked in obediently.
Like last time, Phi Xinghe sat at the table with a black face and drank tea.
But last time he was sitting in the lobby drinking tea. She wondered how she got here.
After drinking all the tea in Pi Xing, Yan Shan immediately poured him a full cup and poured a cup for Cao Zhijin by the way.
"The master said that the qin was a good guqin, and he didn't lose anything when it came to two gold, so he accepted the qin." Although Yan Shan's words were said to Cao Zhijin, her eyes were staring at the stars.
"Then I'm relieved!" Cao Zhijin nodded, it was really a blind cat that met a dead mouse, she thought that the piano was not worth two gold even if it was a good piano, but she didn't expect that its value far exceeded the two gold! That's fine, after all, she broke the contract first, and she should compensate others!
She looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you see the smiley eyebrows?"
Phi Xing replied, "She said she was going out to buy something."
"You let her out alone!" Cao Zhijin's voice rose unconsciously.
Pi Xing glanced at her calmly: "What's the matter, she is sixteen years old, and she is not a child."
Cao Zhijin didn't bother to quarrel with him, turned around and went out.
Pi Xing looked at her hurried back, shook her head and said coldly: "Stupid!"
Yan Shan looked at Pi Xing in surprise and said, "Childe, isn't the girl your master?" I thought that Childe was obedient to the girl, but I didn't expect Childe to be dissatisfied with the girl! ”
Phi Xing gave her a cold look and stood up.
Yan Shan immediately stood up and followed him.
"What are you going to do?"
"Go find my master!" Phi Xing said coldly.
As soon as Cao Zhijin came downstairs, a strong murderous aura quickly hit her back.
After being chased and killed many times, her reaction speed has become much faster, and she quickly took out the medicine bag from her sleeve and prepared to turn around and sprinkle it in the direction of killing intent.
Although she can't avoid the damage this time, the people who deal with her can't dodge the damage from her either!
Cao Zhijin turned around and spilled the medicine and was dumbfounded, it was not the person who assassinated her at all - to be precise, she was now cornered by a killer hiding in the shadows with a hidden arrow!
A Hidden Arrow certainly won't react to her medicine.
At the last moment, a familiar dagger flew sideways, slicing the Hidden Arrow that was about to touch her body in two.
Phi Xing flew down from the upper floor, protected Cao Zhijin behind him, turned his head and asked her, "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Cao Zhijin shook his head, fortunately he appeared in time.
As soon as Cao Zhijin had this idea in his mind, Phi Xing sneered: "You still don't admit that you are stupid, since you can't escape, you have to find a way to minimize the damage, instead of thinking about dying with your opponent, especially the opponent hiding in the shadows!"
Cao Zhijin was very angry, but she couldn't refute it! - Why can't he teach her well?
"Still distracted at this time?" Phi Xing said coldly.
Cao Zhijin came back to his senses and sneered: "Isn't this with you by your side?"
"Since that's the case......" Phi Xing suddenly put away his long sword, and suddenly stepped aside to distance himself from Cao Zhijin.
