Chapter 139: Blackmailed
It was not a dream, Bai Xingyan was almost certain at this moment, last night's experience was real, not a nightmare.
Because there was a wound on his hand, and the blood marks from his finger bones against the stone wall were terrible.
I had only been concerned about my soaked clothes and hair, but I had neglected this crucial point, and when I suddenly saw the scars, I was shocked and a deep fear came over me. He could conclude that something must have happened in Heheyuan last night, that everything he had experienced was real, that someone had really hung him in the well and kept drowning, while his secret guard insisted that nothing special had happened, and no one else had broken in
, even Yuan Chi firmly believes that he is caused by a nightmare.
Who the hell is lying?
Is it the Dark Guard? Or is the invading person so strong in martial arts that the secret guards don't even notice it?
He thought of Bai Heran and thought of Nie Wu, who was already dead. Nie Wu was the one with the highest martial arts skills around him, but not only did he fail to take that girl's life, but he fell in love with the other party's way. Could it be that the girl snuck in last night?
It's not right, no matter how evil that girl is, it is impossible for her to avoid the eyes and ears of the four secret guards at the same time. Besides, carrying him into the well, it is impossible for such a big movement not to be discovered by the secret guards.
It's not a white crane, and the same can't be someone else, so ...... His cold sweat broke out, it wasn't done by outsiders, it was done by people who were originally inside, could it be that the secret guard was against the water?
On this day, Bai Xingyan spent this endless speculation and fear.
And Bai Heran got up early and went to the National Medical Hall with silent words.
She had sent a little child over before, and it had been several days, and she had to see how the little girl was recovering.
Mo Yu was a little worried, "If Miss goes to the National Medical Hall, will she be blackmailed by that old man?" β
She was stunned, "You mean Xia Yangqiu?" β
Mo Yu nodded, "Miss sent that child to seek medical treatment, even if he begged him once, with his nature, it is estimated that he will ask Miss for payment, either acupuncture or prescription, anyway, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity." β
Bai Heran was very helpless, "Don't think too badly of people, I have already paid for the consultation and paid the National Medical Hall when I sent that child over, and he has no reason to ask me for anything else." β
Mo Yu disagreed, "Anyway, that old man is very greedy, and the slave will never believe that he will miss such a good opportunity." After all, there is no such shop in this village, and if you can make one more mistake, you should make one more mistake. β
Facts have proved that Mo Yu was right, she had just arrived at the door of the National Medical Hall, and Xia Yangqiu greeted her from inside with a thief smile, "Princess, I have been looking forward to you for a long time." β
Hakuzuru was thrilled at that time, and suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Did the princess come to see the child? Two news, one good news and one bad news, which one do you want to hear first? β
She twitched the corners of her mouth, "Let's talk about the good news first!" β
Xia Yangqiu said with a smile: "The good news is that under the old and clever medical skills, the little girl who was seriously injured by the horse's hooves has no worries, and she can sit up and talk today, but it is still not good to walk, and she will have to raise for a while." β
"And what about the bad news?" "The bad news is that because the injury is so severe, it takes too much effort for the old man to heal her day and night. You look at the old man's complexion, it is not very good so far, because it is too physically demanding to treat that girl. In addition, the doctors in the National Medical Hall were all called to Tangzhou Mansion, and even the guys followed a few to help, so the big and small matters were all done by the old man himself, and he was really tired enough. Princess, look at ......" he rubbed his hands with a greedy look on his face, "so you see, in terms of this reward, should you consider adding more?" As far as I paid before, it seems that no
It's a big deal! β
Bai Heran glanced at Mo Yu, "You can still see it thoroughly!" β
Mo Yu glared at Xia Yangqiu very unhappily, "You are also called a miracle doctor, isn't it the right thing to do to cure diseases and save people?" Why such extortion? "Huh? How do you say that? Xia Yangqiu is gone, "The doctor has to pay for the consultation!" It's true that you have already paid before, but now looking at the entire Shangdu City, the prices of all the medical centers have increased, and the consultation fees of all the doctors have increased several times, so why can't the old decay go up
οΌ The old man is also a human being, and he also has to give money to the doctors and men in the hospital. Tsk, what a maid, I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are if I don't support my family, and I don't want to talk to you. β
Mo Yu was also very unhappy, "Then you said that you spent energy and had a bad complexion, but I see that your complexion is also very good!" His face is flushed, and he is full of energy when he speaks, where does he look tired? β
"You know what? Tired, tired, do you understand? I really don't want to talk to you! Xia Yangqiu was angry.
Bai Heran didn't rush to play the round, she had been thinking about one thing, "Old Xia, did you say that the prices of the medical halls in the capital have increased?" How many times has the doctor's consultation fee increased? β
Xia Yangqiu was stunned, "Ah! The price must have increased! Think about it, a large number of people have gone to Tangzhou, and the rest will have to increase in price! Everything is scarce, and people must be more expensive. Bai Heran frowned, "Old Xia, I won't joke with you. I proposed to send a doctor to Tangzhou, and I thought it would be a good thing to solve the crisis in Tangzhou, but now it seems that it is not all good. If it is because of this matter, the people of Shangdu will have to pay several times more to see it
Doctor, that's my sin. Hearing her say this, Xia Yangqiu also put up that slanderous face, and shook his head helplessly, "Human nature is understandable." Fortunately, things haven't gone too far, and the National Medical Hall also released a batch of medicinal materials yesterday, so it's okay to respond to emergencies. The old decay calculated, ten days at most, soup
Things are almost the same on the state side, let's wait for another half a month to see, if it's still like this, then think of other ways. She nodded, "If Xia Lao says so, it's really not good for me to pay more for this consultation." She finally smiled, "But don't be in a hurry, I calculate, it shouldn't be too long, and someone should come to my door for advice." When the time comes, I will send people to the National Medical Hall, and I will treat them
, You look, I know everything about the stitches involved, what do you think? β
"Words count!" Xia Yangqiu's eyes were straight.
"Count." She asked Xia Yangqiu, "Can I go in and see the child now?" β
Xia Yangqiu laughed dryly, "It must be possible!" But there were already people watching before you came, and the princess might have to queue up to get in at this point. β
When she heard for the first time that she had to queue up to visit the sick, she asked silently, "Is it the child's mother?" β
Without waiting for Xia Yangqiu to speak, Bai Heran laughed, "How is it possible, what are you kidding." She asked Xia Yangqiu, "If I guessed correctly, the first person to come was the Fourth Highness, right?" β
Xia Yangqiu gave an admiring expression, "It's not a loss that the tenth master took a fancy to, the first time I saw the princess, I saw that you were very smart, and sure enough, I didn't look away." That's right, it's the Fourth Highness who came, and I'm talking to that kid right now! β
When Bai He ran into the house, he heard the fourth prince Jun Muxi saying to the little girl: "It's all my fault, no matter what the reason, it's not right to ride a horse in the downtown area, can you forgive me?" The voice was soft and soft, like a big brother next door coaxing a child.
The little girl sat on the couch and looked at the fourth prince, but did not answer his words, but said: "Big brother, you are so good-looking." How beautiful does such a good-looking person have to please a beautiful daughter-in-law? The children born in the future will also be very good. β
The fourth prince smiled, "How old are you, who taught you this?" "My mother." The little girl said seriously: "My mother said that if you want to marry a good man, you have to look good, otherwise you will be abandoned even if you marry." She said that she had been abandoned by a man before, and then she met her father and gave birth to me......" said the child
It didn't go down, her father was gone, and she didn't even have time to remember what her father looked like.
Jun Muxi was very helpless, "At a young age, your mother taught you this?" β
"I'm six years old, not young. My mother said that she could book a family affair for me this year, and as long as I got married, I could get the silver, and our life would be better. β
Jun Muxi was stunned, "You said you ...... Six? "Bai Heran was also stunned, six years old? When she first saw this child, she looked like she was three or four years old at most, which was too much different from six years old. But it's not hard to understand that children from poor families haven't eaten a few good bites, or even a few full meals. Since her mother can use her daughter to block the horse's hooves,
I want to betrothal my six-year-old daughter to someone, but I don't think I spent much effort on this child.
"Feed a six-year-old like a three-year-old, you mother-......" "Don't do it." Hakuzuru opened the curtain and walked in, all the way to the bed, "When the horse's hooves stepped on her, she pushed you in front of her and blocked you. Later, I heard that if you die because of this, she will get a large amount of compensation, so she told us not to save again, I hope you can die. Then she took a hundred taels of silver, and sold you to me, and she never appeared again. Little girl, if I tell you this, you may think that my heart is too hard, how can I tell you such a thing. But that's the way it is, I can avoid it for a while, but I can't avoid it for a lifetime, and you will definitely ask when you wake up
Where is my mother, I still have to say when the time comes. β
Jun Muxi also stood up and wanted to comfort him, but when the comforting words came to his mouth, he couldn't say anything anyway. Because what Bai Heran said made sense, he had nothing to refute.
Six-year-olds should be vulnerable, right? Jun Muxi thought, although the truth is right, but the truth is always hurtful. So he only whispered to Bai Heran: "Don't hurt her." β
Bai Heran nodded, and leaned over him, he had seen it. At this time, she heard the child say something, but it surprised both of themβ
