Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Strange Medicine Hall
When she arrived at the attic above, Xu Zhaohua noticed that the doors of many rooms above this pharmacy were closed, she had studied martial arts, and she could hear that there were people inside, if a room was like this, then forget it, the key was that so many generals were like this, so it had to make people suspicious.
Xu Zhaohua quietly told Zhou Sheng Cuobai and Su Mingtuo about this situation, but they didn't feel any difference after hearing it, Zhou Shengcuobai comforted her and said that it was very likely that these patients couldn't get out, so they closed the door tightly. Xu Zhaohua nodded slowly, but he still felt that he didn't know that it was always weird there, and he couldn't tell what kind of premonition it was.
Finally arrived at the door of a room in the corner, the old doctor opened the door and motioned for them to help Sui Feng in, Sui Feng was laid flat on the bed, and the old lady doctor motioned for them to wait outside, he was not used to narrating when treating others.
At first, Xu Zhaohua was a little hesitant, but after looking at the old doctor and analyzing it, he had no reason to do anything to them, and they were all outside, thinking that he would not do anything to threaten Sui Feng's life, so he listened to the old doctor's words and waited with everyone in the hall outside.
After coming out, she saw the structure of the house clearly, it is divided into two rooms, inside and outside is the bedroom, which is where the patients live, and the outside is a slightly larger vestibule, with a larger table of eight immortals in the center, and a few benches, although the decoration is not particularly exquisite, but it is also comfortable to look at, at least to meet the needs of daily life.
Xu Zhaohua walked out of the door and looked around, and found that this was a zigzag courtyard, divided into two floors, they were on the first floor when they just came in, and the entire floor was used to receive patients, it can be seen that the size of the river in this medicine hall is extraordinary, no wonder she felt a little indistinguishable from east and west, north and south, and always felt like she was going around in circles, at first she thought it was the reason why she had just come out of the illusion and was not suitable for a while, but now it seems that it is not like this at all, this medicine hall is embarrassing.
But the strange place came, when she was outside, she saw that there were many shops gathered on this street, and there was an intersection, which was obviously a symbol of a downtown in the center of a place, but looking at the central street, its pavement was not very open, so she deduced that this town was not a big town, but why could such a small town have such a large medicine hall?
Xu Zhaohua decided to take a look around, she walked around the attic along the corridor, and she did clearly feel that there were people on the side, but after such a while, she didn't see a person coming out of the room.
This may not be too strange, there is something wrong with this medicine hall.
Then she was going to go to the first floor to take a look, after all, there were a lot of people there, and she couldn't wait to find out anything useful, just a few steps away, she suddenly remembered that the old lady was still in Sui Chen's hands at the moment, and their current character was to quickly rescue the old lady, or leave these things alone, and it would not be too late to rescue the old lady in the future and come over to investigate.
So Xu Zhaohua went back to the room around the corner again, and before entering the door, she looked back at the courtyard, it was really unusual, the whole courtyard was a bit less like a medicine hall and more like an inn.
After entering, Zhou Sheng Cuobai stood in front of the window and looked at the scene outside, Su Mingtuo sat on the bench and wiped the sword he carried with him, and the ghost lady leaned on the table of the eight immortals and didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were a little distracted.
"Master, are you alright?" Xu Zhaohua asked.
The ghost lady shook her head, and Xu Zhaohua held her arm and said, "Master, relax." ”
The ghost lady glanced at her in surprise, she always felt that Xu Zhaohua seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, she was indeed worried, but she already knew that she was worried before she told her what she was thinking.
The Ghost Lady nodded to her. She just remembered her experience these days, and in the illusion of Shadow Town, she remembered many things from the past, why did the Left Protector of the Ridge Fire Domain help Sui Chen create an environment to deal with Xu Zhaohua? This made her very incomprehensible, it stands to reason that it shouldn't, the Ridge Fire Domain has never participated in any fighting between any countries in the outer regions.
Xu Zhaohua walked to Zhou Sheng Cuobai's side and looked down the room with him: "Cuobai, I owe Sui Feng a lot. ”
Zhou Sheng Cuobai didn't expect that she would take the initiative to mention the matter between her and Sui Feng, but he was soon relieved, he believed in her crispy, and now that she was willing to take the initiative to talk to herself about the matter with Sui Feng, it showed that she also trusted the relationship between them, otherwise she would not take the initiative to mention it.
"Crispy, no matter what you decide, I support you." Xu Zhaohua turned to look at Xu Zhaohua's eyes and said.
Xu Zhaohua told Zhou Shengcuobai about bringing the old lady to Sui Chen with his own hands, Zhou Shengcuobai sighed a lot after hearing it, looking at Xu Zhaohua, who was a little self-blaming, he took her hand and said: "Crispy, you can't be blamed for this, no one can ensure that they can control themselves in that situation at that time." ”
Xu Zhaohua sighed, Sui Feng had paid enough for her, but she couldn't pretend to be a second person in her heart except for Zhou Sheng Cuobai, she really didn't know where to make up for Sui Feng, as the prince of Daduan, he was not short of gold and silver treasures, nor was he short of power and status, she knew that he didn't care about these at all. As for the relationship, she originally wanted to match Sui Feng and Xiao Su, but later found out that Xiao Su's mother died because of Sui Feng, which put her in a dilemma......
The only thing I can do for him is to help him unravel the voodoo from his body, make him less miserable at the New Moon every month, and reunite him with the old lady.
After thinking about it, Xu Zhaohua glanced at the room inside, and now there was no movement inside, the old man with the long beard didn't know how to treat Sui Feng's illness, and it took so long, in a hurry, she walked to the door and shouted inside: "Doctor, how long will it take." ”
"An hour." There was a word from inside.
Xu Zhaohua sat on the bench after hearing this, she didn't expect that it would take so long, she looked at the front blankly, hoping that this old man wouldn't play any tricks.
Su Mingtuo on the side wiped the sword and put it on the table, and sighed deeply, Xu Zhaohua knew that he must be thinking about the situation in the front field and the current situation of Qin Feng's cousin, after thinking for a while, Xu Zhaohua decided to wait for Sui Feng's physical condition to improve, and then let his uncle go to the Eastern Qi military camp by himself, after all, the military camp cannot lack major generals now, and his uncle doesn't have to worry so much.
I don't know what the situation is on the field now? Xu Zhaohua held his chin and thought.
At this moment, in the military camp of Eastern Qi, a suppressed and forbearant wail sounded in a tent, and the ground was full of bloodstains, and basins of blood were sent out.
"Major General, bear with it and get it bandaged with good medicine right away." A imperial doctor said to Su Qinfeng in sweat next to him, at this moment he wrapped a bandage around Su Qinfeng's arm, and blood kept flowing out of his cuffs, and his cuffs were also empty at this time, Su Qinfeng fought to the death in another attack by the Daduan soldiers just now, and finally staggered to save the camp of Eastern Qi, but the unfortunate thing is that he also lost an arm, which is even more cruel for a military general than killing him.
Su Mingtuo's mouth Su Mingtuo had a white cloth in his mouth, and there were some blood stains on the white cloth at this time, which was the blood that flowed from his mouth in pain. At this moment, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and he looked up at the top of his head weakly, and he couldn't hear what the people around him were saying, and there was only a constant buzzing in his head.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, where the hell are you?
He shouted weakly in his heart, he had lost an arm, I am afraid that he would not be able to kill the enemy on the battlefield, the dignified seven-foot man has become a waste, to be honest, he has no desire to live now, but now the Eastern Qi group of dragons has no leader, and the Duke of Yasukuni is eyeing him again, if he falls, Dongqi Ke's fate will hang by a thread, he can't fall down before the emperor and the queen come back, even if he climbs, he has to climb in front of them and die.
The people in the tent were in pain, and the people outside the tent were waiting anxiously, since Xiao Su quietly followed Sui Feng out of the general military camp of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, she was cautious and unhurried behind him all the way, but he had never seen him come out since he entered a single room, and the room she was staying in was next door to Sui Feng at that time, but it was impossible for him not to know what he was doing.
Except for one situation, that is, Sui Feng deliberately didn't want her to know that he had left and then slowed down when leaving, so Sui Feng might have already found out that she was following him all the way.
Xiao Su, who knew the truth, was very angry at the time, did he just not treat himself like this? But I have already traveled such a long way, and if I return the same way, it will not only delay a lot of time, but also maybe there will be an accident on the way. At that time, I happened to meet the soldiers of Dongqi patrolling nearby, so I said that I was looking for General Su Qinfeng Su, originally those little soldiers didn't believe it, but fortunately, Dongqi was well-trained to the soldiers on weekdays, and those soldiers didn't speak ill of each other, if they were soldiers from other countries, they would have either used words to ridicule or ignore her. Fortunately, she had a jade pendant given to her by Su Qinfeng at that time, and he said that this should be regarded as the reward she gave him for sewing clothes, and if there was any difficulty in the future, she could use this jade pendant to find him.
originally thought that this jade pendant would never be used, but he thought that it would come in handy that day, so Xiao Su found Su Qinfeng in this way. I remember that Su Qinfeng was training at the time, and suddenly saw that she was coming, and the expression on her face was very strange, and even she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry.
After training the soldiers, Su Qinfeng took himself to a camp tent and asked her in a somewhat reproachful tone why she didn't stay in the general barracks anymore and what she was doing here?
At that time, she truthfully explained to Su Qinfeng how she came here, Su Qinfeng's expression changed and she didn't say much, she felt that his reaction was really strange, and then checked that there were no blood stains on her body and asked people to take her to eat, while he continued to discuss further combat plans with his subordinates.
In the past few days, she also knew that there was still a woman locked up in the corner next to this place, that was Xian Yue, Su Qinfeng didn't let herself get close, saying that she knew witchcraft and was afraid of any danger.
Soon after, Daduan had a march, Su Qinfeng had been fighting for many days, and his physical condition was already very bad at this time, but he still had to go to the battlefield himself, she said that this would boost morale, but when he came back for the last time, it would be like this.
Xiao Su felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Su Qinfeng's roar in a low voice from time to time, how painful he must be, Xiao Su hoped that she would not endure it so strongly, if it hurt, she would shout it out loud, she knew that Qin Feng, a stinky boy, had the best face, and she definitely didn't want people to know his pain.
But what Xiao Su didn't know was that Su Qinfeng was really afraid of letting others see him like this, and that person was Xiao Su himself.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Xu Zhaohua saw Su Mingtuo, who was suddenly holding his heart, and quickly stood up and asked worriedly.
Su Mingtuo slowed down: "It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly have some heart palpitations." ”
Xu Zhaohua told him that he needed to rest more, Su Mingtuo nodded, he always felt that something had happened, but this was just his hunch.
The sound of the door opening brought back the thoughts of everyone in the room flying away.
"Almost, don't disturb him yet, the one inside is resting now." Doctor Whitebeard opened the door and said to them, and then went out: "By the way, one of you came down with me to get medicine, his physical condition needs to be adjusted slowly." Doctor Whitebeard said before leaving.
Xu Zhaohua nodded and followed him out, and then Zhou Shengcuobai looked inside, Sui Feng was lying on the bed sleeping, and he was relieved, after all, the old man's healing time was too long, and he didn't let others in, which made him a little worried about the situation inside.
Xu Zhaohua followed the old man down the attic, the scene below was completely different from the above, there was no one walking in the corridor on the top quietly, there were indeed people coming and going, some were walking fast, some were trotting, Xu Zhaohua felt more and more that this was not like a medicine hall, this was even more lively than the market outside.
"Doctor, are there so many people here every day?" Xu Zhaohua asked.
Doctor Whitebeard walked to the hall where he grabbed the medicine and nodded.
"Why is it that so many people are sick in such a small town, isn't it that every family is sick?" Xu Zhaohua then asked.
The white-bearded old man said while turning over the medicines of various flavored medicines: "Now that winter is coming, our town is a storm, and the townspeople are easily blown by the wind, and there are naturally more sick people in winter, plus my medicine hall is the largest medicine hall in several nearby towns, so it is not surprising that there are so many people every day in winter." Girl, to put it mildly, it is the money earned at this time every year that can barely support me and my apprentices! ”
Xu Zhaohua looked around, what the white-bearded old doctor said seemed to be seamless and without flaws, but no flaws was the biggest flaw, although there were many people around, Xu Zhaohua could see that their relationship was almost the same, it could not be said that they were all familiar with each other, but at least they knew each other and it was true. What is the possibility of such a relationship other than that of people in one town? He said that people from several towns came here to see a doctor, but how could there be so many people who knew whom?
It was clear that the white-bearded old man was lying.
"The medicine is ready, and I must give it to him every day." The white-bearded old doctor handed Xu Zhaohua a few packets of wrapped medicinal materials, Xu Zhaohua took the medicinal materials and looked at them again and again, and sniffed them with his nose and accepted them after feeling that there was nothing unusual. She had studied medicine with the Ghost Lady, and she could still tell if there was anything strange about these things.
When she turned around and was about to go upstairs, the white-bearded old man suddenly stopped her: "Girl! After Xu Zhaohua turned his head, he continued: "The old man doesn't look like an ordinary person, and your temperament is either rich or expensive, since this is the case, don't ask more, just leave after seeing the doctor." ”
Xu Zhaohua looked at the white-bearded doctor's eyes and nodded, she always felt that the person's eyes were like cat's eyes, and there was an indescribable feeling. Besides, since she found something wrong, she had no reason to just leave it as if she didn't know, and one day she would let the truth come to light.
After she went up to the attic, she heard that there were still people moving in the surrounding houses, but no one came out, Xu Zhaohua deliberately leaned against the edge of the door when he passed by the door of those houses, trying to hear if there was some other movement inside, but no, after walking around, she was surprised to find that there were people in this circle, but no one spoke.
Pushing open the door and returning to the corner of the room, Xu Zhaohua put the medicine in front of the table of the Eight Immortals and began to prepare for the decoction of medicine for Sui Feng, fortunately, there was a set of special decoction utensils in the corner of the room, she was a little strange at first, but then she thought that this was a medicine hall, and it was not surprising that there were these in each room.
Holding these decoction utensils Xu Zhaohua took them out of the door to prepare to be cleaned and cleaned on the corridor guardrail her back leaned on these washing medicine casseroles, didn't she sweat, wiped her sweat Xu Zhaohua looked at the crowd below, there are so many people here since she came, and it is not necessarily reduced. Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhaohua was attracted by the figure of a person, and then his eyes were locked on his body.
How did she end up here?
Xu Zhaohua saw Female Master Liu in the crowd, and her expression was the same as when they first came to this medicine hall. Female Master Liu looked around to see the scene here, and suddenly her eyes also looked at the attic and met Xu Zhaohua's gaze, and the expression on her face also changed a little, Xu Zhaohua stood up with the railing and beckoned to Female Master Liu below. Since many of the people below were busy, the white-bearded old doctor didn't notice that Lady Liu came here alone.
After Liu Nushi went up to the attic, Xu Zhaohua greeted him, and before the two had time to speak, Xu Zhaohua said that Liu Nushi pulled down the corner of the room, and everyone was very curious about who this person was after seeing Liu Nushi, Xu Zhaohua thought that no one knew the identity of Liu Nushi except Sui Feng, and thought that in the end, they couldn't hide it, and there was no need to hide it from everyone, so they introduced the identity of Liu Nushi to them.
Everyone knew that Nushi Liu was a person in the palace of Daduan, and couldn't help but be vigilant in their hearts, Xu Zhaohua explained that Nushi Liu was actually the confidant of his mother's long-time friend Concubine Shen, who had married far away to Daduan. Zhou Shengcuobai and Su Mingtuo thought about it in their minds, many years ago, when the relationship between Daduan and Dongqi had not deteriorated to the point where it is now, there was indeed a policy of peace and proximity between the two countries, and there was indeed such a thing back then.
"Could it be the daughter of Deputy Commander Shen?" Su Mingtuo asked. When he was not a general, he was once a subordinate of Deputy Commander Shen, and followed him to fight in the southeast all the year round, and by coincidence found that his daughter and his sister knew each other and had been friends for many years.
At first, Nushi Liu was very curious about why they knew the name of the old lady, and she saw that these people were all extraordinary, and they were not ordinary people, how could Zhao Ye be with them, so she was even more curious about Xu Zhaohua's identity.
After knowing this relationship, the doubts in the hearts of Zhou Shengcuobai and Su Mingtuo were dispelled a lot, since they were the henchmen of his people from the east, then it was worth believing.
Xu Zhaohua closed the door and asked, "Female Master Liu, why are you here?" ”
"It's a long story." Female Master Liu sighed and continued, "By the way, where did you go later, Zhao Ye, why haven't I seen you in the palace since then?" ”
Hearing that Female Master Liu called Xu Zhaohua and Zhao Ye, everyone was very curious, Xu Zhaohua looked around and felt that there was no need to continue to hide it from Female Master Liu, so he chose to tell the truth.
"Female Master Liu, I don't actually call me Zhao Ye, my surname is Xu, and my name is Zhaohua."
Female Master Liu repeated in her mouth: "Xu Zhaohua." Xu Zhaohua, Xu ...... Zhaohua? Are you ......?" After speaking, she glanced at Xu Zhaohua opposite in surprise, she couldn't believe that it was Xu Zhaohua, the world-famous queen of Eastern Qi, standing in front of her.
Xu Zhaohua nodded, and Female Master Liu suddenly stood up from the bench and didn't know what to do, she and the queen of Dongqi had lived for so long, and suddenly he saw the person next to him and said with some surprise: "So, these two are?"
"This is Zhou Sheng Cuobai, that is, the monarch of Eastern Qi." Xu Zhaohua pointed at Zhou Sheng Cuobai and said.
"This is General Su Ming Tuosu." Xu Zhaohua pointed at Su Mingtuo and said.
Nushi Liu hurriedly gave a salute to the person in front of her, although Dongqi and Daduan are not in harmony now, but the rules of seeing the king of other countries salute still cannot be changed because of the war.
