The cumulonimbus clouds are heavy, the wind and thunder are thousands of miles, and when the unitary time passes, the sky is as dark as midnight. Sun Ce drove the carriage and galloped along the official road of Chaohu Lake, there was no one on the road, the water of Chaohu Lake was surging like a tide on the side, Sun Ce who was sitting in the front room and driving a horse was soaked, although it was a spring day, but the cold was still fierce, Sun Ce couldn't help but shiver and sneeze.

The top of his head suddenly cleared, Sun Ce raised his eyes, and saw Da Qiao leaning forward and holding up a bamboo bone silk umbrella for him. Sun Ce turned around and smiled: "How fortunate Bo Fu is, I have Miss Da Qiao holding an umbrella for me, even if I die here immediately, I will die without regrets." ”

Da Qiao's cheeks were slightly red: "Sun Gongzi really likes to laugh...... I heard that Sun Gongzi is a person from Jiangdu, why is he so familiar with this Juchao County? ”

Sun is a native of Fuchun, Wu County, and after his father passed away, he moved to Jiangdu with his mother and his younger siblings. My brother Gongjin's ancestral home is here, and it is his family's ancestral home that you are going to today. ”

Da Qiao bowed slightly: "The little woman has a question in her heart: Zhou Gongzi is the son of Luoyang Ling, how can he only be a small county order in this corner of the south of the Yangtze River?" ”

"It's a long story", Sun Ce smiled softly, recalling that Zhou Yu deliberately pretended to be crazy and stupid in front of Yuan Shu, and showed his appearance. Yuan Shu saw that Zhou Yu was crazy and acted without a form, and decided that he was just empty and had a good skin, so he let him return to Juchao as he wished to make a county order.

Seeing that Sun Ce didn't reply positively, Da Qiao had to ask again: "I heard that Zhou Gongzi has a valuable character and only makes a small county order, which is really confusing...... But what is the unspeakable secret? ”

Seeing that Da Qiao had been asking about Zhou Yu, Sun Ce became a little vigilant, he smiled back, gently held Da Qiao's hand holding the umbrella, and pretended to be very concerned: "Why does Miss Da Qiao always ask about my brother, and she doesn't care about me?" ”

Da Qiao withdrew his hand unnaturally like an electric shock, biting his thin lip: "I didn't deliberately inquire about Zhou County's order, it's just that my sister is in Zhou County's house, and she is sick on the couch, so I'm really a little worried about being a sister......"

It turned out that Da Qiao was just relieved of Xiao Qiao's safety, and he didn't want to hear anything. Sun Ce took off his guard, and a little doubt instantly turned into softness. It turns out that the eldest brothers and sisters in the world are the same, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of Sun Ce's mouth: "Although my brother is young, he has just died of his wife, and his heart is depressed, but he has not entered the temple as a monk. I can understand the girl's concern, please rest assured. ”

Da Qiao looked at Sun Ce's resolute and handsome back, and his heart warmed: "Thank you Sun Gongzi for your compassion...... But Zhou County Ling seems to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he is already married? It's a pity that Madame died young. ”

"You know that his father is the order of Gyeonggi, but I'm afraid I don't know that his father-in-law is Lord Situ Wang Yun. If it weren't for the power of the ministers, the court would be dark, and with my brother's talent, it would not be impossible to rank among the three dukes. ”

"I just listen to you keep praising the Zhou County Order, General Sun Shao is also a dragon and phoenix among people, so there is really no need to be humble. If it weren't for General Sun Lao raising the righteous army, the land of Jiangdong would have been scorched earth, and the tiger father would definitely have no dogs, and I believe that the young general would definitely be able to make a difference. ”

Sun Ce's expression was fluttering, very complacent, but he refused to let Da Qiao see that he was so happy, so he pretended to be calm and said: "The girl praised it falsely, I am very confident and never humble. But today I can listen to a beautiful woman like you call me, a wild general who has no soldiers, and I feel really comfortable. ”

Chaohu Lake is surrounded by meandering places, which is the thatched house where Zhang Zhongjing lives. In the pouring rain, a boy with a horn tied to the wall of the low fence fiddled with dozens of large vats taller than himself to collect rainwater. Seeing Sun Ce coming in a carriage, the boy hurriedly glanced at it, turned his back, and ignored it.

This child is Zhang Zhongjing's youngest disciple, he was only eight years old at the time, because he has followed Zhang Zhongjing since he was a child, his temperament is very similar to him, and every time he sees Sun Ce, he is like this love and ignorance. Sun Ce laughed angrily and shouted through the fence: "Child! If Zhang Laohan is in the house, please pass it on! ”

The boy didn't seem to hear, and went on with his work, without saying a word.

Sun Ce was dismissed, and couldn't help but be a little unhappy, he forced his temperament and said to Da Qiao: "The rain is too big, the girl is inconvenient to go down, please wait in the car for a while, I'll go down and take a look, if Zhang Laohan is here, I'll come out and call you again." With that, Sun Ce jumped out of the carriage, climbed over the fence in the rain, and walked towards the thatched house.

The house was empty, except for the many different kinds of herbs piled up, exuding a smoky medicinal smell. Sun Ce hurriedly held his breath and waved his hand, and quickly exited the room.

Da Qiao was very anxious, and when he saw Sun Ce walking out of the house with a calm face, he knew that he must have made no gains. Da Qiao couldn't help frowning, his eyes were lowered, Qiu Bo was full of sadness, and he didn't know what to do. Suddenly, the boy screamed, and saw Sun Ce use great strength, pick up the huge water tank, and threaten: "Where did Zhang Laohan go?" Human life is at stake, and I don't have time to play dumb riddles with you today. If you don't say it, I'll smash this vat to pieces......"

The boy quickly regained his composure, got up slowly, patted the mud on his hands, and said slowly: "Master said, if Sun Lang comes, if he dances with a knife and sticks, he will smash things if he doesn't do it, so he deliberately prepared dozens of cylinders in the backyard." ”

Sun Ce's hands sank, and the vat hung straight down and slammed on the instep of his foot. A heartache came, and Sun Ce jumped to his feet in pain: "Since Zhang Laohan knows that I will come, he must want to see me, why do you kid stop me in every way!" ”

The boy tilted his head and smiled, and replied in a milky voice: "I don't dare." Master went into the mountains yesterday to collect medicine, and I don't know when I will come back. ”

"Which mountain did you enter? Tangshan? Or some other mountain? ”

The boy shook his head: "I don't know, the master didn't say it." ”

Sun Ce leaned on the vat with a helpless expression: "Zhang Laohan is not young, you don't care, how can you let him go so much, don't even say where to go?" ”

"Master said, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, he has saved so many people, he must live a long life, don't worry."

This is really Zhang Zhongjing's style, Sun Ce rolled his eyes in anger, but he had no choice but to return to the carriage and say to Da Qiao, who was waiting for him: "It's really burning eyebrows, that old man Zhang went into the mountain, I don't know when I will come back." ”

Da Qiao hurriedly said: "How is this good? My sister is not in good health when she is young, but if she burns out, can she pay it back? Is there a medical center in Juchao County? ”

Sun Ce thought back for a moment: "I know that there is a medical clinic in Dongshi, if it doesn't open the door, I will smash his façade, and we will go." ”

In the old house, Aunt Zhou boiled boiling water and brought it into the guest room. Zhou Yu washed the dry cotton cloth in the copper basin several times, wrung it out and applied it to Xiao Qiao's forehead to cool her down.

This little man slept on the couch, and he couldn't see the powerful appearance of the day at all. Zhou Yu carefully observed Xiao Qiao's right hand exposed outside the quilt, this hand was small and soft, not at all like the hand of a martial arts practitioner. The doubts in Zhou Yu's heart boiled like boiling water in the copper tripod, and he secretly thought in his heart that if it wasn't for the strength in his hands, it should be a mechanism hidden in his sleeves. But just now, Aunt Zhou took Xiao Qiao's wet clothes to wash them, and didn't find any tricks in them. Thinking of this, Zhou Yu became more and more confused, he and Sun Ce have been investigating Sun Jian's death for five years, and they have obtained few clues, so far, it seems that only Lu Su's birdman theory and Xiao Qiao's trick can be used as a breakthrough. But Xiao Qiao's heart is very serious, if he asks directly, he will definitely not be able to ask why.

Finally got some clues, and suddenly broke off, Zhou Yu sighed secretly, and inadvertently saw a delicate wooden brocade box wrapped in the baggage of the table. If there is a makeup box in the girl's baggage, it is ordinary, but there is a "swastika" faintly printed on this brocade box, which is really curious.

Zhou Yu quickly got up and stepped forward, wanting to find out, but before he reached out and touched the brocade box, he heard Xiao Qiao on the couch coughing violently. Zhou Yu was a gentleman in the end, his heart was extremely weak, and he immediately withdrew his hand, and when he looked back, Xiao Qiao was lying down with his eyes closed, his face was weak, and he didn't pay attention to him at all.

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief and wanted to pick up the brocade box, but suddenly heard the courtyard door open, and Sun Ce walked into the courtyard noisily: "Aunt Zhou, quickly fry the medicine!" For these medicines, I almost gave up my life......"
