Chapter XXIV

With the departure of the county lord and his entourage, Li Fengyu pinched his hand a little uncontrollably.

"You go and send it to the county lord." Zeng Jiuyan glanced at him with a smile, "I'll just go and talk to Bai Yi alone." ”

Li Fengyu's face turned bright, and he patted Zeng Jiuyan's shoulder twice vigorously, "Good brother!" ”

Zeng Jiuyan laughed, and watched Li Fengyu happily chase in the direction where the county lord of Yikang left, and he himself turned around and walked towards the inside of the West Firewood House.

In just over half a month, the courtyard of the firewood house has been completely changed by Bai Yi. Since the light in the room could not be supplemented by light, he and his apprentices set up three tents in the courtyard with their bare hands to serve as daily operating tables.

The apprentices resumed their daily work, except for a few who were more seriously injured and were called to rest by Bai Yi, and among the remaining apprentices, half of them put on white coats and went to the tent, and the other half carried baskets full of unknown leaves, and when the baskets were piled up in the corner of the shade, they brought water over and rinsed the leaves basket by basket, and finally put them in the sun to dry.

Zeng Jiuyan walked and watched - he had just patronized the Daoists who had been killed halfway out of the firewood house, and he hadn't paid much attention to the situation in this courtyard.

Looking at it now, I think it's full of novelty.

In front of the tent, Zeng Jiuyan stopped.

At the entrance to the tent hangs a half-human-high scroll with the precautions that must be followed when entering and exiting the tent.

On weekdays, there is a strict preparation process for entering and exiting here, in order to ensure that the operating table is not polluted as much as possible, Bai Yi wrote several versions of the rules, Zeng Jiuyan stood in front of the operation process and looked at it carefully, and Yu Guang explored Bai Yi's location.

"It seems that the little marquis is looking for me today."

Bai Yi's voice came from behind him, and Zeng Jiuyan turned his head to see him holding two baskets of somewhat wilted rotten leaves in his hands, standing on the steps at the door of the house.

"Are you busy right now?" Zeng Jiuyan asked.

Bai Yi smiled, "Busy and busy, the little marquis is still free, you wait for me to pour these things-"

"Then I'll take a hand too."

Zeng Jiuyan stepped forward in three or two steps, picked up the bamboo basket in Bai Yi's left hand, and the two walked to the backyard together. Bai Yi took Zeng Jiuyan to a board cart and poured all the wilted leaves in the bamboo basket into the large wooden barrel painted with yellow paint on the car.

"What are you feeding rabbits, it doesn't look like a vegetable leaf."

"It's alfalfa leaves...... Bai Yi smashed the bamboo basket twice on the wooden barrel, and more than a dozen small broken leaves stuck to the bottom of the basket also fell out, "The digestive system of rabbits is different from that of humans, they need to consume a lot of crude fiber every day to keep the intestines moving uninterruptedly." Therefore, young rabbits are generally an appropriate amount of alfalfa leaves and a large amount of large dogtail grass, washed and dried and fed, and the water and grass should be changed frequently...... Vegetables and other things can only be eaten when rabbits reach adulthood. ”

"Oh......" Zeng Jiuyan nodded thoughtfully, "It's quite a lot." ”

"Yes, rabbits are quite easy to die, the food and drink are not fresh, the environment is not ventilated or too ventilated, and the surroundings of the rabbit cage are not dry enough or ......quiet enough," Bai Yi looked at Zeng Jiuyan, "It really dies in minutes to show you." ”

"...... minutes?"

"Anyway...... It's just fast. Bai Yi also took the bamboo basket in Zeng Jiuyan's arms, stacked them together, and threw them to the apprentice who was washing alfalfa leaves on the side.

After putting down their things, the two of them walked together to the bungalow of the firewood house.

Zeng Jiuyan looked at Bai Yi, and always felt that he was a little too meticulous when doing these things. But there's nothing wrong with that, he really appreciates people who are meticulous in their work, even when it comes to things that don't seem necessary.

Bai Yi took him to the room next to the rabbit house, which was arranged into a living room, Bai Yi poured Zeng Jiuyan and himself two cups of cold white boil, and the two sat down diagonally around a small wooden table.

Bai Yi pushed the water cup to Zeng Jiuyan's side, "I drank all the tea when I stayed up late some time ago, and I haven't had time to make up for it, so I'll drink it." ”

Zeng Jiuyan laughed and kept this incident in his heart. He lowered his head and took out a roll of paper tied with string from his bosom, which had been flattened quite a bit by the fight.

Zeng Jiuyan put it on the table between himself and Bai Yi.

Bai Yi didn't take it, and asked softly, "Is this ......?" ”

"I'll ask you a question, you weigh it first, and then decide whether you want to touch it or not." Zeng Jiuyan's voice was also lowered a little, "I'm not reluctant. ”

Bai Yi sat up straight, supported his knees with his elbows, and looked at Zeng Jiuyan seriously, "You say." ”

"I'm not just here today on my own behalf...... My father is actually very concerned about General Shen's condition. ”

Hearing the words "General Shen", Bai Yi frowned slightly, and somewhat guessed the intention of Zeng Jiuyan and Li Fengyu to come to the door today.

Zeng Jiuyan's eyes also became serious, "I heard that Imperial Doctor Bai had already treated the general yesterday, and he was going to enter the palace today to give an answer to the saint, and my father wanted to know what happened to General Shen." ”

Bai Yi's eyes looked away, and he thought for a long time, "...... General Shen was not sick. ”

"What?"

"General Shen is not sick," Bai Yi repeated in a low voice, "Today, my father entered the palace and replied to the emperor about the news." ”

"How-"

"It's just not sick." Bai Yi interrupted Zeng Jiuyan's words, "That's all I can say to you." ”

Zeng Jiuyan frowned and chewed on Bai Yi's last sentence carefully.

"No illness...... he suddenly understood something, and raised his eyes to look at Bai Yi, "You also said that the concubine was not sickβ€”"

Bai Yi scratched his head, and didn't know how to respond, "The concubine is different, the concubine is indeed sick, but it's not the kind of illness that the imperial doctor and the others saidβ€”β€”"

"But you still stopped the stomach and liver medicine for the concubine, and then let Bai Ling enter the palace to treat the concubine......" Zeng Jiuyan whispered to himself, so far he finally came around, the expression on his face was much more relaxed, he looked at Bai Yi with a look of sudden realization, "On the night of April 15, Bai Ling should have also met General Shen, right?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Well. Bai Yi nodded, he looked at the flattened paper roll on the coffee table, "So, what is this?" ”

Zeng Jiuyan smiled, "Since you can't say more, you can bring it back to Bai Ling, and she will naturally see it-"

"No," Bai Yi refused, "If you don't make it clear, I won't bring things back." ”

"Can't you trust me once?" Zeng Jiuyan said earnestly, his body leaned forward slightly, covered his heart with one hand, and said in a low voice, "I vouch for my personality, this is by no means a troublesome thing, if Bai Ling feels useless after reading it, she will just burn it, and I will not tell others what I gave you today." ”

Bai Yi looked at Zeng Jiuyan's gaze, hesitated for a long time, and finally responded with a frown, "Okay." ”

He pressed the roll of paper more flat, then folded it in half and put it in his sleeve, "This is ...... Hou Ye entrusted you to Bai Ling? ”

"Nope." Zeng Jiuyan shook his head, "I gave it to Bai Ling." ”
