Chapter 9: Past Grievances

A hot pain came from the calf again, and with the water "hissed" frowned, the knock on the door came, and the water held back the pain and responded: "Uncle Zhu, please come in." As soon as the door opened, Lao Zhu came in with a few servants who served dishes, and after being busy for a while, all kinds of dishes were placed on the octagonal table, which had a special taste and were delicious.

Lao Zhu waved his hand, and the people retreated with trays. Lao Zhu said with great interest, "Girl, these six dishes are what Yao Xiaozi usually eats, don't be too little, each dish is the signature of our restaurant." Yao boy is especially picky about this over-the-mouth thing on weekdays, and the girl he has seen is safe to eat, make sure that your teeth and cheeks are fragrant, and the aftertaste is endless, haha."

With a smile, "Uncle Zhu, I am grateful for your accommodation for me today, I will salivate when this dish smells, where will I dislike it."

Lao Zhu nodded hurriedly: "These six dishes start from the left, these are the eight vegetarians in the grass hall, the raw boiled unicorn fish, the dragon body anchovy shrimp, the braised cold mushroom, the stuffed Duobao, and the vegetarian Taiji soup." Girl, move the chopsticks and try it, I won't hinder you here, if there is anything, call the little guy downstairs." As he spoke, he walked out of the door, looking at the water and muttering: "Such a beautiful girl, Yao boy is really a wooden head, next time you see me, you have to talk about it...".

When Lao Zhu went out behind closed doors, she let out a sigh of relief with water, this table full of delicacies was mouth-watering just by looking at it, but she had to quickly deal with the wound on her calf, and she had to rely on these two legs to hurry home tomorrow.

lifted the gauze skirt and underwear on the lower body, and there were three bright red blood paths on the tender lotus-like calves, fortunately, the thief was not a person with strong martial arts, and his hands were not heavy, only the muscles and bones were not moved. Thinking of the scene when the thief attacked at that time, Daishui looked at the ankle bracelet made of jasper prismatic hairpins, and felt more and more that the origin of this hairpin was not simple, and his hand covered it, thinking that it was worth the trip.

opened the small jade porcelain bottle given by Jing Yao, and inside was a very finely ground white paste with a faint medicinal fragrance, which was very exquisite. I put it in front of my nose and sniffed it, "Hmm... There are golden cherry roots, dragon tooth grass, and litsea cubeba, if this taste is not wrong, there should be a lot of five spirit fat, but there are several herbs that she can't distinguish left and right, it should be a precious medicinal material that she has never seen. She has the main medicinal materials in mind, and the rest can only go back to the mountains to think of a way, and find a substitute left and right..."

Don't think about it anymore, with water hooked a small piece of ointment with his fingers and gently rubbed it on his calf, a burst of coolness came from the lower body and spread all over the body, and suddenly the burning pain on the calf was reduced a lot, with water rubbing the bottle in his hand, his mind couldn't help but think of the owner of this bottle: Jing Yao....

Put away your thoughts, bring water back to your table, and get ready to eat, then rest and enjoy the comfort of one of the capital's best restaurants.

On the other side, Jing Yao flew back to the hall with his baggage, and a small servant in the hall had already waited respectfully, looking very handsome, and at first glance he thought it was a little lady.

Jing Yao threw the package away, "Linchi, let's make tea", and walked towards the soup pool in the inner hall, ready to bathe. Lin Chi opened the package, the beads of his glasses were about to fall off, and he thought to himself, the master has never liked sweets on weekdays, and they have divided the pastries and preserves in the palace, what kind of evil did they hit today......

I fell asleep all night, and early the next morning, I woke up with water, and checked the wound and found that the bruising had completely subsided. So I changed the medicine again, cleaned up and freshened up, and went downstairs to find Lao Zhu.

I didn't see Lao Zhu when I turned around on the first floor, and the little guy who asked the counter with water learned that Lao Zhu only came to the store when he was in the middle of the corner on weekdays, and he could only leave a jade porcelain bottle with water, and asked the little guy to let Lao Zhu return it to Jingyao.

On the way, I remembered what happened yesterday, although I didn't get a penny of silver, I repaid Jingyao's kindness, and this osmanthus dew was not wasted. On the other hand, Obisui realized that the world is unpredictable, and people's hearts are not ancient. The bustling resorts outside the Agarwood Valley have an irresistible charm for her, but they are also like a hungry tiger. A heart that longs to be strong is gradually breaking through the ground and growing prosperously.

After traveling for several hours, I finally arrived at Agarwood Valley in the afternoon. Coincidentally, Daishui saw Yu Niang and Shen Erpai not far in front of the Guguan Pass, and shouted loudly: "Mother, Daddy!" He shouted and ran forward. But seeing Yu Niang supporting Shen Er's father, Shen Er's lips were tightly closed, and the blood on his face was lost, looking very hard.

Dai Shui hurriedly probed Shen Er's hand vein, but was swept away by Shen Er's hand, Shen Er squeezed out a smile and said: "Shui'er, Dad is fine, it's just that he is so old, and the journey is really unbearable", he patted the head with water as he spoke. When Yu Niang heard this, she was also busy interjecting on the side, "Yes, what can happen to your father's bones, I think he just ate wild fruits on the road and ate them badly, just go back and rest well, let's go home."

Seeing that these two people sang and harmonized, Daishui suddenly felt relieved, and he still had the strength to talk about it, it seemed that it should be fine, and he thought happily and ran forward. With water, I didn't see it, and the Yu Niang behind her lowered her head and tried her best to hide her lost soul.

After returning home, the two of them put Shen Er on the bed and took care of it carefully before taking a breath. With water to watch Yu Niang busy one after another, made a cup of osmanthus tea, and took a plate of preserved flowers to Yu Niang, Yu Niang sat down and took a sip of tea, the corners of her eyes were warm, "The water is really big, this osmanthus dew is amazing, I'm afraid my mother can't do it."

Daishui held his head with both hands and looked at Yu Niang, and asked curiously: "Mother, how did you and your father meet", Xu is osmanthus tea opened the long-sealed old chatterbox, Yu Niang picked up a piece of dried flowers and put it in her mouth, "Your father and I used to be servants of a big family, your father is very appreciated and trusted by the master of that big family, and he handed over a lot of things to your father to tidy up, and I am the maidservant who serves the little master." It's been a long time, and I secretly promised your father that a lot of things have happened in the middle of the house...", saying this, Yu Niang paused, lowered her eyes, seemed to recall the old things of the year, brought water and did not interrupt, sat obediently aside, and added a cup of tea to Yu Niang.

Yu Niang continued, "We decided to leave the mansion and settle down. That night, your father and I had already left the mansion and went to the official road, ready to leave. But somehow a fire burned in the house, and your father insisted on going back, so we turned back to the house. I first went to the inner hall and picked up the little master, the fire has burned to the lower hall, the house is in chaos, the master's house is on the west side, your father was originally going to go in to save people - it's me, I have a selfish heart...". Yu Niang sobbed softly, the past seemed to be vivid, and the pain of the past was still fresh, and the intestines turned nine times.

Daishui hugged Yu Niang tightly and said, "Mother, but the old man that my father saw." Yu Niang choked behind her, cried out completely, and muttered in her mouth, "Heh, one and the other, over and over again, I have to keep it."

It was the first time that such a mother brought water to the water, and the unsealing of the past this night has become the softest and most painful life door for the water to face betrayal, revenge, and hatred later.
