Chapter 92: Peeling Back the Thread
Ji Shu returned to Su's house and had breakfast calmly with Su Cardamom and Yun Sang.
Unlike Su Cardamom's slight impatience, Ji Shu is a patient person, he was originally a warm-hearted handsome young man - since returning from the Northwest Battlefield, he felt that he was an out-and-out man.
If Yu Qian'er is burly and full of strength, then Ji Shu is much more restrained. Only when his makeup skills amaze the world, he is the one who is high-profile and flamboyant. This special flamboyance is buried in his bones, and it has long been fused with his blood over the years.
"You have enough energy to cope with the day, and you don't want to be hungry and have a clear mind." Ji Shu said to Su Cardamom, who had a thin sorrow on his face, "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, you know." β
Su Cardamom smiled bitterly, how could she not understand?
When she was a child, A-Niang taught her this truth.
Yun Sang unconsciously glanced at Ji Shugao a few times. She deeply understood Ji Shu's words, and because of this, she had a lot of good feelings for this young man who was in danger.
The strange old man in the Poison Doctor Valley didn't pay much attention to eating with poison all day long, but Yun Sang thought that eating and drinking well was the king, so that he could be worthy of his body.
For no other reason, her thoughts came from her elusive father.
Growing up so big, she has seen her father only a handful of times, and the strange old man is reluctant to mention him, every time he mentions it, he will blow his beard and stare at his eyes, looking annoyed and angry, and threaten that Yunjin's evil obstacle is not his Yunluan's son, if it weren't for the fact that he gave birth to Yunsang, he would have broken off the father-son relationship with that injustice.
Her father, Yunjin, is the only son of a poison doctor.
According to the poison doctor's grandfather, her father grew up in the poison doctor valley since she was a child.
That year, the poison doctor Yun Luan went out to travel and brought Yun Jin with him, and that year, Yun Jin was ten years old. That is, in that year, Yun Jin discovered that the outside world was really big, much more than the Poison Doctor Valley! The outside world is so exciting, eating, drinking, and playing...... He was dazzled.
It would be nice if he left the Poison Doctor Valley to live in the outside world, and he wanted to leave the Poison Medicine Valley for the rest of his life and never come back.
At the age of fifteen, Yun Jin went out of the valley with the poison doctor again......
And in the end, only the poison doctor returned to the Poison Doctor Valley, and Yun Jin was gone.
The poison doctor, who is over half a hundred years old, was very sad for a while. He had lived in the Valley of the Poison Doctor for half his life, and he had never thought of stepping out of the Valley of the Poison Doctor except for necessary travels, and his son had cruelly abandoned him and the place where he had settled down.
He couldn't figure out why Bai Yunjin had sneaked away.
"That rebel doesn't know how to learn, and he never thought of staying in the Poison Doctor Valley to inherit my mantle." The old poison doctor was gloomy and hateful every time he thought about it.
"Am I being naΓ―ve?" He asked himself questions like this a few times.
Or is it because his old man is busy making and detoxifying and has no time to discipline his son?
It doesn't matter anymore.
The days go on.
Confused by obsession, the poison doctor once again threw himself into all kinds of medicinal herbs.
What he didn't know was that most of the silver tickets and jewels he brought back after each travels, as well as the heavy money and gifts brought to him by the people who had been poisoned by the incurable poison and had found him in the rivers and lakes.
The old poison doctor had never put the things outside his body on the tip of his heart, and he took those things away, but he didn't bother to hide them privately.
Now most of them are in the baggage that Yunjin packed and were taken away by him.
One day more than ten years later, Yun Jin appeared in the Poison Valley for the first time after leaving the Poison Doctor Valley, and he came back with a child. When the poison doctor looked up at him, the infant child he held in the crook of his arm was crying. The old poison doctor's brows furrowed into two "Chuan" words, he had never heard such an unrelenting cry, although it sounded a little lacking in her voice, but she still tenaciously expressed her appeal with a cry.
That little thing was hungry.
That little thing is Yunsang.
Seeing Yun Jin's virtue in holding the child, the old poison doctor was suddenly angry, and the resentment that had been latent for many years burst like a vulnerable soap bubble! The old poisoner taught his unfilial son a lesson in his own methods, and he put a medicine in Yun Jin's meal, and Yun Jin cried bitterly for two days after eating it before he got the antidote.
After a few more days, Yunjin disappeared again. This time, not only did the old poison doctor's silver tickets and jewelry disappear a lot, but even the bottles and cans containing medicine were also missing.
I don't know if it was for the exchange, he generously left Yunsang.
This little baby who only knows his father but not his mother.
The old poison doctor was furious, and his long beard was raised on the top of his head, and he almost threw away his little granddaughter who was still waiting to be fed. In the end, he had to accept the reality - to raise Yunsang to grow up.
In the eighteen years that Yun Sang has grown up, Yun Jin has gone back several times intermittently, staying for two or three days each time, and inevitably taking some medicine jars with him secretly when he leaves.
Over the years, it is not only Yunsang who has grown, but also Yunjin's slippery head and cheekiness. Sometimes he also regarded Yun Sang as his own reliance and bargained with the old man of the poison doctor, which provoked the old man of the poison doctor to grind his teeth in secret.
The last time Yun Jin returned to the Poison Medicine Valley was three months ago.
Every time Yunjin comes back, the biggest impression left by Yunsang is: food. Every time he returned to the Poison Medicine Valley, he would inevitably bring a large bag of food, both raw and cooked.
Cooked food can be eaten ready-to-eat, and raw food can be cooked immediately.
Each one is delicious.
Only by eating and drinking well can you live up to the world.
This is the sentence her father has said to her the most, and this sentence has quietly taken root and sprouted in her heart at some point.
β¦β¦
"Sister Yun, what do you want?"
A call brought Yun Sang back to reality.
Su Cardamom drank an egg custard, and shook one hand in front of Yun Sang's eyes.
Yun Sang woke up like a dream, glanced at Su Cardamom in a trance, and then was stunned for a moment, and smiled shyly, "I remembered my father." β
Ji Shu and Su Cardamom's hands paused in unison.
Su Cardamom smiled and asked softly, "What kind of person is your father?" β
Yun Sang took a breath and looked a little confused, she said flatly, "I can't say it well." After speaking, she swallowed a mouthful of custard, "We don't get along much." β
Ji Shu and Su Cardamom glanced at each other, and Su Cardamom added a piece of snack for Yun Sang, "Sister Yun worked hard all night, eat more." - Ling Zun, it's your father, is he a good doctor? β
Yun Sang said: "No. The strange old man said that he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it. The strange old man was right. β
Ji Shuda was a little disappreciative of this sentence, according to the level of the poison doctor, most of his old people would think that anyone who was inferior to him was unlearned.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of Yun Sang's mouth, "I don't know about Daddy. He is not in the valley all year round. Medical skills, maybe a little, just scratch the surface. As if talking to herself, she continued, "The ability to steal medicine is extremely high. β
Su Cardamom's eyes were cold: "So, Sister Yun, is the poison in my father really from the Poison Doctor Gu?" β
Yun Sang looked at Su Cardamom's discolored face, disappreciated, and actually smiled, "Probably yes." β
"You!" Su Cardamom's anger rose suddenly, but when he saw Yunsang's unworldly eyes, the anger was inexplicably like it had been sent into the water, and it was extinguished after being touched by the water.
Ji Shu pressed Su Cardamom's elbow with his palm, "Cardamom, don't blame Miss Yun, she has tried her best." β
"I'll ask my dad when I find him." Yun Sang put down the spoon, "Don't worry, I will cure the pavilion master." β
Su Cardamom was like a deflated ball, she felt a little tired, her mind was in a mess, she knew that she shouldn't be angry, but she couldn't help it.
She bit the tip of her tongue, and suddenly there was a stirring, and the tip of her tongue broke. A faint smell of blood rose from her nostrils, which made her sober up a lot. She rubbed her temples and said a little stiffly, "Sister Yun, thank you!" β
Yun Sang nodded thoughtfully, and did not make a sound.
After breakfast, Ji Shu went to the study to put on makeup for himself. Today, his identity is Su Youchuan, the chief manager of each branch of Jingzhou Agarwood Pavilion.
Replacing this identity, it is inevitable to change this face.
His slender fingers unscrewed the incense balm "Yunshang" in the Agarwood Pavilion, which was a series of incense products, including eyebrow powder, mouth pill, balm, rouge, incense powder and fragrance.
Enough is enough.
Yesterday, he had already mixed two boxes of balm with homemade seasonal pollen to neutralize the color of the balm.
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror showing Su Youchuan's eyebrows little by little, he couldn't help but scold: The taste of this big master!
Su Youchuan likes to wear clothes that have been smoked with the high-quality spices of the Agarwood Pavilion.
This helped a lot, and Ji Shu no longer had to think about whether the dark fragrance of cosmetics could arouse suspicion.
Su Cardamom was wiping Su Youting's face in the inner room.
Lord Su Ge hovered on the edge of life and death overnight, and his face was finally not so pale at this moment.
This night, Yun Sang changed the needle three times for Su Youting's fingertips, and the cotton yarn under his palm also changed three times. The cotton yarn is white and soft when it is first cushioned under the hand, and when it is replaced, it is black and purple, which is shocking.
With the continuous elimination of toxins, Su Youting's breathing was no longer as if it were nothing, but a lot more relaxed.
Su Cardamom secretly marveled at Yunsang's detoxification methods.
After wiping Su Youting's face, Su Cardamom went to another room in the wing.
The doctor who gave Su Youting an injection last night is still asleep.
Cardamom took out a small bottle and stopped at his nose for a moment.
The doctor opened his eyes slowly.
"Did the doctor sleep well?"
Su Cardamom stood aside and asked in a cold voice.
The doctor, who was a little unclear, was suddenly taken aback by her words. His face froze.
A thin layer of sweat slowly rose on the door of the head.
Su Cardamom watched him struggle to get up, and then threw down a sentence, "I think you should lie down obediently!" Even if you are a doctor, I am afraid that you will not be able to dissipate the medicinal power of this soft foot for a while! β
The doctor was obedient and didn't move.
Su Cardamom lit a pure heart incense, moved a chair next to the doctor's bedside, and sat down.
Silent and silent.
The silence in the wing room was scary. Time is particularly still, there is no wind and no movement, the doctor who is over half a hundred years old only feels that he is being grasped by a nervous emotion, the air becomes viscous little by little, and the breath he counts is accidentally counted out of order.
Cardamom raised an eyebrow. Uncle Cousin is really confident and has found such a courageless doctor.
I'm afraid that this old doctor has a handle in the hands of his cousin, or is there both coercion and temptation?
However, no matter how much you can't help yourself, it can't be a reason to harm others.
Cardamom shook off the last trace of sympathy in her mind.
I'll see how long you can last!
Doctor Xu has a ghost in his heart, and finally speaks.
He said: "If the eldest lady wants to know anything, just ask, the old man knows everything." β
"Hehe, you understand." Su Cardamom laughed dryly, saving himself from beating around the bush, and went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth, "Do you know what the crime of murdering the Agarwood Pavilion Master is?" β
"The old man didn't plot to kill the pavilion master!" The doctor was no longer nervous at this moment, as if he had resigned himself to his fate, "The poison in the Su Pavilion Lord has nothing to do with me. β
"Haha!" After hearing this, Su Cardamom felt extremely funny, "My father's poisoning has nothing to do with you, but you can't see what kind of poison my father has at all, right?" As a doctor, you should have hung a pot to save the world and help the wounded, but you, not only can't detoxify, but you also have to talk nonsense to confuse the public, who gave you the confidence? It's ridiculous that you're doing something unspeakable in the hat of a doctor! β
In the end, she was ruthless in her words, and she was no longer merciless.
The doctor was stimulated by these words, and his breath stagnated, and he was so angry that he choked on a mouthful of phlegm and coughed violently in his heart and lungs.
Su Cardamom looked at him coldly.
After coughing for a while, the doctor's face was already flushed, he closed his eyes, and said weakly but with a hint of stubbornness: "Hu is just to repay the favor." β
"Why do you want to repay my father's life? You're really a life-saving favor! β
"Although the old man is not talented, he has also diagnosed the poison in the Su Pavilion Lord and there is no solution...... Unless the poison doctor comes in person. He seemed to be overdrawn, and his face turned pale, "That's it, it's my fault after all." β
Su Cardamom snorted.
It is not too mediocre to be able to judge that there is no solution to the danger.
"What promise did the Grand Master give you?" Su Cardamom does not give up.
The doctor seemed to be humiliated all of a sudden, and he said hatefully, "Nothing." β
"Oh?" Su Cardamom stared playfully at Dr. Hu's old face, "Really? β
A look of struggle flashed in the doctor's eyes.
"Then, Dr. Hu, your family ......" Su Cardamom lowered his voice and lengthened his voice, "It's tight to visit!" β
"You!"
"Hehe, what?" Su Cardamom said in a meaningless tone, "Don't worry that I can't find the way, Miss Ben loves to talk, where Dr. Hu's family lives is not difficult for me, it's just a casual question!" Don't worry, I'll have your son pick you up. If the son is not at home, he will be a grandson, and if the grandson is not at home, he will be an old wife...... Just wait. β
After saying that, she didn't move, and still sat with a loud horn.
Dr. Hu's body stiffened, motionless, trying to "If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move." β
Su Cardamom laughed twice, revealing a grinding bass like a ghost, "Doctor Hu won't think I'm going out in person, right?" Don't worry, all of my people are usable! All I have to do is watch a play β maybe there will be a father-son relationship later. It's a pity that my good cousin is sleeping soundly, and I'm afraid I won't be able to see it for a while. β
Since there is indifference, then add another fire.
"What the hell do you want?!" The doctor tried to clench his fists hard, but his hands and feet were too weak to speak, and he couldn't use his strength.
"We?" Cardamom Su smiled brightly, "Doctor Hu, who are 'we'?" After speaking, she added coldly, "Anyone who dares to hurt my father, I will kill him!" Before the murderer is found, this girl doesn't mind having a few more people to accompany the funeral! Doctor Hu, you have to think about what you say! β
