Chapter Seventy-One: Yingxiang's Greetings
Like a few days ago, after arranging the day's work in Tai Hospital, Bai Yi went to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion with the medicine box.
In fact, according to Yingxiang's situation, the dressing change in the past few days can be handed over to the apprentice to do, but Zheng Mi has to come and see it in person every day for the sake of caution.
However, basically, after changing the medicine today, you don't have to observe every day after that.
Remembering the "dangerous start" that Bai Ling said last time, Bai Yi deliberately brought the jade bracelet he got from Yikang last time before going out today - after changing the medicine today, he planned to return the bracelet to Yingxiang, let her bring things back to her master, and let Yikang have a long memory.
Today's Zheng Mi doesn't seem to be in the yamen, but there are still people waiting at the door and taking Bai Yi to the side courtyard.
"Haven't there been any new injuries in the past few days?" Bai Yi asked with some concern.
"No," the official hurriedly replied, "I may have almost been caught by our master last time, so I guess I will stop for the time being." ”
Bai Yi fell silent noncommittally.
In the past few days, he has always been running to the Yamen, and he has listened to many details about these cases. I always feel that this case is full of weirdness, but I can't find the breakthrough point that can overturn the truth for a while.
Ying Xiang has now basically moved out of the Chase Shop full of patients - four days have passed, and most of the patients who were still there at that time have died of severe infections. As the only survivor of this case so far, Yingxiang was specially moved to a nearby hut.
Today, Bai Yi followed the official into the house again, but saw that there was an extra screen in the room, and Yingxiang seemed to be sitting in the back.
"What is this for?" Bai Yi frowned and asked.
The woman behind the screen seemed to be sitting, she bowed slightly, "These days, thank you Bai Gongzi-"
"Call me Dr. Bai." Bai Yi interrupted coldly.
He heard the voice behind the screen, it was indeed Yingxiang.
It seems that since the last accident, this girl has changed her previous arrogance and become polite.
“…… Dr. Bai. Ying Xiang was silent for a moment, and then continued to speak softly, "I have been taken care of in the past few days, I feel much better today, if Dr. Bai is free today, please teach me about changing the dressing, let me come by myself in the future." ”
"Yes, too." Bai Yi lowered his chin slightly—this was originally his plan for today.
He put the medicine box on the desk next to him, and put all the things he needed to use for changing the medicine in the tray on the side, so that he could let the female Taoist sent by Xuanqingguan to take care of Yingxiang help bring it in for a while.
Bai Yi was about to take the jade bracelet from his sleeve, when he suddenly heard Yingxiang behind the screen speak, "These days...... Is Pasia okay? ”
Bai Yi was about to answer "yes", but suddenly stopped what he was doing, and turned around with some suspicion, "Why are you asking her what she is doing?" ”
"It's nothing...... Yingxiang lowered her head, "I'...... That is, care. ”
"What do you care about?" Bai Yi frowned, "You haven't even seen my sister in person, have you?" ”
“…… But I've heard of it. Ying Xiang's voice became quieter, "I already knew that Bai Siyao was a powerful character...... She...... It's going to be fine. ”
Bai Yi only felt a surge of blood in his heart, and the equipment bag he was holding in his hand also fell to the ground.
The iron tweezers fell to the ground, causing a slight metal collision.
"What do you mean?" Bai Yi's voice became excited, "What will happen to Bai Ling?" ”
Ying Xiang behind the screen trembled obviously, her body curled up slightly, and she shook her head again and again, "I...... I'm talking nonsense, I'm just asking......"
Bai Yi dropped the things in his hand directly, and was about to rush behind the screen with his feet, but the female Taoist stopped with a serious face.
"Doctor Bai is suddenly so fierce who is throwing his face to show him!" The Taoist said coldly, "Yingxiang is just concerned about Sister Ling, is it worth it for you to make such a big liver fire?" ”
"Get out of the way—"
In the midst of the dispute, tables, chairs, and screens ...... Everything around them was knocked over, and the wooden furniture fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Bai Yi saw that Yingxiang looked up from behind the screen, shrank into the corner and hugged her head in a daze, and didn't look this way.
"Surely the Kaspora will be fine...... Surely it won't ......," she muttered a little nervously.
However, every word is like a sword piercing the heart.
Bai Yi struggled forward, wanting to ask carefully, but after the initial explosive power passed, he quickly lost in front of the Taoist without kung fu on his body.
Bai Yi was kicked in the chest, and the whole person slammed back against the wall.
The Taoist wanted to add another blow, but the officials on the side hurriedly blocked it.
"Sister Dao, it's not good if things get big, this is in our Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and Dr. Bai was specially invited by Lord Zheng."
The Taoist snorted.
Bai Yi covered his heart with his hand and slowly slipped to the ground, this kick really made him gasp in pain.
"Hmph, vulnerable." The Taoist clapped his hands contemptuously, and stood in place with his sword in both hands, "Is this also a man?" ”
Bai Yi lay on the ground for a while, and finally eased up.
But there was still fire in his eyes, and his voice was still full of anger and hatred, "...... Isn't it what the hell are you Yikang County Lord doing? ”
"No comment." The Taoist replied coldly, "Since the medicine has been delivered, Dr. Bai can leave first." ”
Bai Yi barely stood up against the wall, although he was still a little unsteady, he still stumbled out.
The official hurriedly chased him out.
After running for about three or four hundred meters, the pain in his heart had gradually subsided, and he didn't care about the medicine box he brought today, nor did he care about the official who kept calling his name behind him, he just flew and ran home.
Boling is now home alone.
If...... What if something happens to Bai Ling......
Bai Yi frowned - no, there are fourteen by Bai Ling's side.
Even if something really went wrong, she would be fine.
……
The courtyard of the Bai family is empty at the moment.
Bai Yi searched all the rooms and called out Bai Ling's name a lot, but there was no response. He forced himself to calm down, and suddenly noticed that the vegetable basket hanging in the courtyard on the kitchen wall was missing.
Yes!
At this time, Bai Ling should have gone to the street to buy groceries.
It was as if he had suddenly grasped a life-saving straw, and he didn't care about anything else and ran again.
There are two wet markets nearby, but Bai Ling has always liked to go to the east, because there is a small mushroom vendor in the east from time to time, and she likes to buy those mountain goods and come back to make chicken soup.
It's past the time when the crowds are highest, and many of the street vendors are already packing up their things and preparing to go home for dinner.
Bai Yi searched for four or five times, and asked a few stalls that Bai Ling frequented, some people said they saw it, some said they didn't see it—but that was more than an hour ago.
Just when he was standing in the crowd and didn't know what to do, something familiar suddenly broke into Bai Yi's eyes-
In an inconspicuous corner on the side of the road, a vegetable basket fell.
He slowly stepped forward and leaned over to pick up the basket.
On the handle of the basket hangs a small wooden plaque, which he carved when he first started to learn from carpenters, and carved a crooked "cypress".
Bai Yi only felt that the whole world was quiet all of a sudden.
"Boling ......"
