Chapter 128: Promise
"Getting to the point!"
Gao Qiu saw that the four people had already walked into the firewood room, and he wanted to listen patiently, but he really underestimated the degree of Chen Lun's chatter, and finally broke the credit.
Xiao Si laughed gloating on the side.
Chen Lun scratched his head, the point? What's the point?
"Oh? By the way, those rich businessmen went to Hujugang with a large amount of ransom to ransom people, and before ransom people, they must first see if the hostages are safe, otherwise the silver is given, but the people are gone, wouldn't it be a loss to the wife and soldiers. ”
Chen Lun finally picked up the previous question.
Gao Qiu thought about it for a while, and felt that although the current situation was not exactly the same as what Chen Lun said, there were some similarities.
After all, although he didn't believe that Xie Yan could really cure Qingyun's illness, but what if, if the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, but encountered obstacles here, wouldn't he be the murderer who killed Qingyun.
"So his request is reasonable?" Gao Qiu looked at Chen Lun.
Chen Lun nodded vigorously, "Reasonable and reasonable!" ”
Gao Qiu looked at Xiao Si again, and Xiao Si hesitated, "Huh...... It should be reasonable! ”
"Go and get them out." Gao Qiu pointed at Chen Lun and commanded.
Chen Lun lamented in his heart, why did he do such a thing, but he didn't dare to disobey the orders of the second master, so he had to obey the order and enter the firewood room, and he had prepared a lot of words to persuade Xie Yan to ignore his previous suspicions, in his feelings, such as Xie Yan, a noble son is the most difficult to speak, even if they are in a weak position, there will always be so much unrealistic persistence and arrogance.
As for why Chen Lun put Xie Yan into the ranks of the noble sons he thought in his heart, in fact, since Chen Lun saw Xie Yan for the first time, he felt that although this person was dressed ordinarily, he had a good temperament, not like an ordinary person, and he couldn't say how "expensive" he was, just like when Xie Yan called him to ask him those questions, although he was unhappy, he still answered them one by one.
There is naturally a reason why Xie Yan is in favor of the situation, but Xie Yan can so easily induce Chen Lun to answer the questions he wants to know, which has a lot to do with Chen Lun's faint judgment of Xie Yan's identity in his heart.
Chen Lun even felt that if he was the second master, he would not have brought Xie Yan and Song Xiaochi up the mountain.
Of course, this thought only faintly appeared in the bottom of his heart, and before he could sort it out, he drowned in his various complicated thoughts and plays, and could not take it out alone and think about it carefully.
It can be said that in this regard, Gao Qiu is not as sensitive as Chen Lun.
It's just that what Chen Lun didn't expect was that as soon as he went in, Xie Yan nodded and said, "Since you agreed, let's go!"
Chen Lun was stunned for a moment, and then nodded hurriedly, "Okay, let's go." ”
Therefore, the day after they were arrested and put into the cottage, they met Dr. Cheng, who had been detained for three days.
When Doctor Cheng looked at Xie Yan, he was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a sense of excitement about meeting his old acquaintance in a foreign country, "Master Xie!" ”
Xie Yan arched his hand, "Doctor Cheng!" ”
After Cheng Lao was excited, he thought that this was a bandit's den, and sighed: "You were also arrested? Alas, there are mountain bandits in the mountain generation, this is known to everyone, I thought that the year was rooted, and the mountain bandits would also celebrate the New Year, and they would not meet, but I didn't expect them to be so active during this time. ”
In fact, although there are three groups of mountain bandits in the Xunlian Mountains, but the three groups of mountain bandits do not rob on one road, such as Xie Yan, Song Xiaochi, Cheng Lao and the caravan took the main road from the closed city to Maoyuan Mansion, and both in terms of number and force, it is far higher than the Huju Gang of this cottage, and their business scope is mainly the path from Chaohuai Mansion to Maoyuan Mansion through the Xunlian Mountains, as for the climbing wind village, they are mainly robbing on the way from Chaoluan County to Maoyuan Mansion.
Xie Yan only got the information of these three mountain bandits from the mouth of the mountain bandits here, and as for the Xunlian Mountain Range, which stretches for thousands of miles, in addition to these three mountain bandits, there are other mountain bandits, Xie Yan does not know for the time being.
However, even if there are these mountain bandits, the frequency of robbery by the merchants passing by those roads is not very high.
Naturally, for the sake of safety, these mountain bandits live in the hinterland of the mountains and forests, and they are not always clear about the situation of the passing business and the time of passing by, and more importantly, these mountain bandits can eat for a long time every time they rob once, and they do not need to rob often.
The most important thing is that although they are mountain bandits, they do not all rely on robbery for a living, Xunlian Mountain Range is rich in products, and these mountain bandits often take advantage of the terrain to sell some mountain goods, so that there is a word from Dr. Cheng.
He didn't expect them to be so unlucky, and when the New Year was approaching, they were arrested and put into the bandits' den.
It seems that Dr. Cheng didn't find out that the reason why they were arrested was because of his existence as a doctor.
"Cheng Lao, are you not locked up with the people of the caravan?"
Cheng Lao shook his head, "As soon as I entered the cottage, I was separated, and as soon as I arrived here, I was led to treat the three masters of the cottage, if it wasn't for the old man telling them that they needed the dog to help me boil the medicine, they wouldn't have locked the old man and the dog together." ”
"How's the condition of the three-in-command?" Xie Yan asked.
Cheng Lao shook his head, "He is terminally ill, and with his old age, he will be delayed for another half a year at most." ”
Xie Yan glanced at Song Xiaochi, Song Xiaochi understood, and took out the medicine she had refined to treat cough and asthma to Cheng Lao, "How about asking Cheng Lao to identify this medicine?" ”
Cheng Lao thought of the pill they had shown him before, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took the pill carefully and began to identify it carefully.
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, the mountain bandits outside couldn't wait anymore and began to urge, Cheng Lao said: "The formula is weird, but it's really wonderful, wonderful!"
Cheng Lao's eyes lit up as he looked at the light brown pill in his hand, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.
"Can you let the three masters take it?" Song Xiaochi asked.
Cheng Lao nodded, "Yes, although I can't determine the efficacy, but I can speculate that this medicine is definitely better than my previous prescription, and with acupuncture, it is certain to extend the lifespan of the three masters, as for how much it will be extended, it is difficult to say." ”
With Cheng Lao's words, Song Xiaochi's heart settled down a lot.
After going out, Gao Qiu took them directly to the wooden house of Ni Qingyun, the third master, Gao Qiu originally only let Cheng Lao and Xie Yan in, but Xie Yan insisted on Song Xiaochi together, and his eyes were clearly distrustful of Gao Qiu and other mountain bandits, and he didn't worry about keeping Song Xiaochi away from his sight.
