Chapter 164: Retirement and Death
After a while, Xie Jinlan really discovered something unusual.
On the rightmost tooth of the deceased's upper jaw, a thin transparent fishing line was tied.
Suddenly, his eyes froze, and he stretched out his hand and slowly poked over.
Lu Renjia and the others saw that Xie Jinlan slowly pulled something out of the deceased's mouth. In the light of the Night Pearl, they could see that it was a transparent and thin fishing line.
No wonder they didn't find out before. Even if this thing is placed on the ground randomly, it may not be noticed, let alone hidden in such a hidden place!
The line is not very long, about a foot or so. When the line was all pulled out, they found a strip of paper rolled into a cylinder tied to the bottom of the line.
The note seems to have been in the human body for too long, is already somewhat rotten, and has a distinctly sour smell.
The attention of several people was drawn to the note, but they ignored its unpleasant smell.
Xie Jinlan didn't dare to use his hands, so he could only use the contents of the toolbox, carefully cut the fishing line, and then carefully and slowly opened the note.
The note was full of words, but most of the handwriting had been blurred, and it was impossible to make out what was written.
'Brother Yuan, happy, not strange, happy. ’
These are just a few words that can be discerned.
Xie Jinlan and the three of them speculated on this, and finally came to a conclusion.
Perhaps, with Feng Ange's intelligence, she had guessed that Bai Siyuan was going to be unfavorable to her at the beginning, but she still went as promised, just because he was her sweetheart for many years.
She may know why Bai Siyuan wants to harm her, or she may not know. But whatever he did to her, she wouldn't blame him. Maybe she will be very content and happy to see him again.
After carefully putting away the note, the group came to sit down at the stone table outside.
Tang Anyu shook the folding fan lightly, full of puzzlement: "Why did Feng Ange leave such a note in her abdomen, does she want people to find out, or doesn't she want people to find out?" ”
Xie Jinlan and Lu Renjia were silent.
They have never come into contact with Feng Ange, and they don't understand her girlish mind. For a while, he really couldn't answer Tang Anyu's question.
Xie Jinlan's gaze couldn't help but fall on Ruan Yezhen on the side.
Ruan Yezhen couldn't help but be stunned, then waved her hand and said, "Don't look at me." Although I am a woman, I have never had a sweetheart, and I don't think I am as smart as her. ”
Xie Jinlan retracted his gaze lightly.
It's just that his last look inexplicably made Ruan Yezhen feel a little unhappy: What do you mean? Are you looking down on her? Or are you saying she's useless?
But she couldn't argue with any arguments. Because even she feels this way.
Suddenly, Xie Jinlan's gaze fell on Lu Renjia's body, and he smiled meaningfully: "I heard that Lord Lu and his wife have a deep relationship, I don't know if I can ...... it."
Who in the audience could not understand his unfinished words?
Lu Renjia groaned slightly, and also felt that it was feasible: "It's just a sentence after all." However, the official does not guarantee the result. ”
Xie Jinlan and Tang Anyu expressed their understanding.
After parting ways with Lu Renjia and a few others outside Yizhuang, Xie Jinlan was not in a hurry to return to the Wind Inn. On the contrary, as soon as he turned his feet, he went to Baicaotang.
Dr. Liu has already returned to sit in the hall.
Although Dr. Liu made some mistakes in the past few days. But the people of the town still believed in his medical skills very much, so there were not a few people who came to him for medical treatment.
Xie Jinlan was not in a hurry to step forward, and found an inconspicuous corner to sit quietly.
When there were no more patients in the hall, he slowly walked to Dr. Liu and sat down.
After seeing clearly who was sitting in front of him, Dr. Liu was slightly stunned, glanced at his left hand that had already removed the gauze, and then smiled kindly, and said:
"Xie Gongzi's hand injury only needs to wait for it to scab over and fall off naturally, and there is no need to do anything more."
Xie Jinlan said: "Doctor Liu, I have something I want to ask you. ”
Doctor Liu stroked the short beard on his chin and said, "Master Xie, please speak." ”
Xie Jinlan's gaze swept in the hall, and then fell back to Dr. Liu's body, and said, "This matter is not suitable for discussion here. ”
Looking at Xie Jinlan's meaningful eyes, Dr. Liu faintly felt that he wanted to say something, and the smile on his face was slightly reduced, and he said:
"In about a quarter of an hour, the Baicaotang will close, and the old man may not be able to leave early. Please also ask Gongzi Xie to wait for a while. ”
After Xie Jinlan bowed his head, he whispered a few words to Huang Jiyi in front of the counter, and then skillfully packed up the medicine box and left Baicaotang with Xie Jinlan.
Walking on the bustling streets, Dr. Liu asked, "I wonder if Gongzi Xie would mind going to the old man's house to talk?" ”
Xie Jinlan will not refuse.
In the hall, after the tea was put on the ring and the tea was retreated, Dr. Liu held the teacup and looked at Xie Jinlan opposite suspiciously:
"I don't know what Lord Xie is looking for grass people, what's the matter?"
Xie Jinlan did not answer immediately, and after elegantly tasting the tea in the cup, he exclaimed: "The tea in Dr. Liu's house is really good, and the entrance is sweet." ”
Dr. Liu followed his words and said:
This is a unique Longjing tea in Qiaozhou, which is picked one month before the beginning of summer every year, and only ten taels are obtained each time. The grass people will only take it out when the guests come. If Lord Xie likes it, there are still some grass people here. ”
Seeing that Dr. Liu said something against his heart with a painful face, Xie Jinlan shook his head lightly and said, "A gentleman doesn't take the favor of others, this Longjing, it's better for Dr. Liu to keep it and taste it slowly." ”
When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she immediately scoffed at his words: Gentleman? What kind of gentleman is he?
Dr. Liu was overjoyed.
At this time, I only heard Xie Jinlan say casually: "Does Dr. Liu have a wife and children?" ”
Dr. Liu's smile suddenly froze on his face. After a while, he reluctantly pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "The relatives of the grass people have passed away many years ago. ”
His reaction was expected by Xie Jinlan.
But Xie Jinlan didn't stop there, and asked meaningfully: "Does Dr. Liu really have no relatives alive?" ”
Doctor Liu glanced at him and said cautiously: "Why did Master Xie say this?" But what do you know? ”
Xie Jinlan took a sip of tea, and then slowly put it back on the base of the coffee table.
The two touched, making a slight collision sound.
Listening to this voice in Dr. Liu's ears, it was like a warning to him, which made him suddenly feel a pang in his heart, and his gaze at Xie Jinlan showed a little surprise.
Xie Jinlan looked at Dr. Liu and mentioned someone meaningfully: "Dr. Liu loves Bai Siyuan so much, have you ever thought of recognizing him as your righteous son, so that you can support your old age and send him to the end?" ”
Dr. Liu's hands shook slightly, and a little tea dripped on the back of his hand. The warm touch made him suddenly restrain his exposed emotions, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said:
"Siyuan is a good boy, even if he doesn't have those forms, he will treat me like a master and a father."
