There was a knock on the door.

When Le Ran opened the door, he saw Qiao Tsuka's slightly worried look, and he didn't say much, but he laughed out loud first, and Qiao Tsuka turned to be a little puzzled: "Are you okay?" ”

Le Ran chuckled, pulled Qiao Zun's sleeve and walked out, "Senior brother, don't look at me like that, do I look bad?" Let's go, let's eat. ”

In the dining room, there were very few people eating at this time, the two of them found a long table in the corner and sat down, and when they were waiting for the medicine slave to bring the food, Le Ran asked first: "Senior brother, has Uncle Shi come back recently?" ”

When Qiao Tsuka heard this, the hand holding the tea bowl paused slightly, and guessed in his heart what this girl had discovered? Then he continued to take a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said lightly: "Go back once." ”

"When?" Rakuran then asked.

Qiao Tsuka put down the tea bowl in his hand and said, "On the day that person disappeared." ”

Hearing this, Le Ran unconsciously touched the edge of the table with his hands, and continued to ask: "Then what did he do when he came back?" Have you ever been to my pharmacy? ”

"I've been there, but I didn't do anything, I said I heard that you have good medicinal herbs, just take a look."

"And after that?"

Qiao Tsuka paused, raised his eyes to look at Le Ran, and looked at Le Ran with a bit of inquiry: "After that, naturally I left." Why did you suddenly care about my master today? ”

"No, I just heard that Uncle Shi came back a few days ago and went to my pharmacy, he has never been there before, so I am curious to ask." Leran pretended to be relaxed.

"Just heard? When you came back, you went to the pharmacy, who did you listen to? Over here...... No one will chew on your tongue. The corners of Qiao Tsuka's lips hooked slightly, looked around, and then raised his hand to take a sip of tea.

Le Ran looked around with his eyes, and everywhere his gaze passed, the medicine slaves were all afraid to lower their heads and pack their things. She showed a hint of embarrassment on her face, and was anxiously thinking about how to fulfill her words, when a rather young medicine slave came over with a tray and stopped at the table of two, "Please, do you want to eat?" The little medicine slave asked cautiously.

"If you want it, come, come here and don't be afraid, just let it go." Le Ran was too busy to respond, and turned around to help the little medicine slave who walked in take the tray and put the food on the table.

"It's quite fragrant, has this dining room recently changed the chef?" After that, Le Ran got off the chopsticks first, "Eh! It's really good, brother, try it. ”

Qiao Tsukasa didn't say much about Le Ran's behavior of diverting the topic, anyway, he had guessed seven or eight points for this reason, after all, that day, he also sensed that the person's spiritual sense had not completely left, and now Le Ran suddenly asked about this, he could understand what the person said if he thought about it, but he never thought of letting Le Ran and Yao Gu get involved in these troubled times, if the chaos in the world is the inevitable catastrophe for those of them who bear the fate, then Medicine Valley should be the only place of rebirth that should be cared for and preserved in the troubled times. Therefore, he secretly decided that he must find an opportunity to warn that person in the future and stay away from his little sister.

Looking at the few dishes on the table that were really good, Qiao Tsuka asked the little medicine slave one by one, "You just came?" ”

"Yes, yes." The little medicine slave replied timidly.

"What's going on with this dish?"

With a "plop", the little medicine slave suddenly knelt down, Le Ran was startled, and looked at Qiao Zun a little blankly, his eyes seemed to ask, "Why did you scare people!" ”

Qiao Tsuka ignored it and continued to the little medicine slave: "Get up and talk back, you made this dish?" ”

Le Ran was a little surprised when she heard this, she knew Qiao Zun, usually when he asked this kind of thing, he was obviously sure, so he also consciously put down his chopsticks, looked at the little medicine slave, and asked in agreement: "This, you did it?" ”

The little medicine slave who was originally too frightened by Qiao Tsuka to reply heard Le Ran's soft inquiry, so he peeked over, and saw her smiling at herself, so she nodded shyly and said, "One of the masters in the dining room has been sick these days, and I have worked in the wine shop before entering the valley and learned some crafts, so they asked me to try it." ”

"Huh? It's been all these days! Then, senior brother, you eat these dishes every day, how can you not notice it? Have you not been in the valley for a few days? Le Ran keenly thought of the rotten branches on Qiao Tsuka's hair before, touched his hair again, and looked at Qiao Tsuka with a smile.

Qiao Tsuka glanced at her and didn't answer, only raised his hand to take a bite of the dishes in the bowl, and asked the little medicine slave: "You made all the dishes these days?" ”

"No, it's not, it's just a little gang these days, there's no boss, only, only tonight." The little medicine slave said busily.

"Oh." Le Ran responded a little boringly, and then asked casually, "Then why did you do it tonight?" ”

"Tonight, because you came late, the people in the back kitchen are gone, only the handymen are there, I see that the stove is still hot, thinking that the masters have just left, so I took the spoon on my own initiative."

Qiao Tsuka looked at him, his eyes were indifferent, but his voice was a little cold and hard: "If I am not mistaken, you seem to be still suffering from a serious illness, so you are still cooking for others to eat, but you have committed a big taboo, you know?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the little medicine slave who had just gotten up for a long time knelt down again, kowtowed and admitted his mistake, and said: "Please punish the adults, the little ones just want the masters to rest, not to harm people, the little ones have improved a lot, and they are also wrapped in a thick cloth when cooking, and the wounds have never touched the food, please don't drive the little ones out, the little ones are terminally ill and have no home, I just ask the adults to leave me, and I want the adults to stay with me, and I beg the adults to leave me ......"

When the gray crane came to the dining room to find his master, he happened to see this scene, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Master, uncle, this kid was picked up by me when I went down the mountain a few days ago, when he had many ulcers on his body, leaving black blood, and was already unconscious, because the gray crane had never seen this symptom, he couldn't determine the cause for a while, and finally out of curiosity, he brought the person back privately, knotted, and the result was cured......"

The gray crane spoke quieter and quieter, Qiao Tsuka's face became more and more ugly, and everyone was startled with a "snap".

"Nonsense!" Qiao Tsuka slapped the table and sneered, "Saved?" Are you still complacent about it? ”

"No, master, you listen to my explanation......" Gray Crane wanted to say more.

But seeing that Le Ran waved his hand at him and signaled him to shut up, the gray crane immediately lowered his head and stopped talking, Le Ran stepped forward, separated Qiao Zun's line of sight from the gray crane, and then pulled up the little medicine slave to check his pulse, and the gray crane obediently cooperated on the side.

During this period, Qiao Tsukasa was not in the seizure, but Le Ran kept frowning, and then looked at the arms and back of the neck of the little medicine slave, and saw that the sores on his body had scarred, so she was a little relieved, and finally when she wanted to spread out the palm that the little medicine slave had been clenching, she obviously felt the strange tension of the other party's body, so Le Ran looked at his eyes and smiled gently: "It's okay, let me see, okay?" ”

The little medicine slave struggled with himself, but he still listened, and a black cloud appeared on his palm like a mark, and he said a little nervously and helplessly: "They said that it would be contagious." ”

As soon as the words came out, except for Qiao Zun, Le Ran and Gray Crane were stunned, Le Ran was stunned because she thought that the little medicine slave didn't know that it was contagious, and Gray Crane was stunned because she didn't know that it was infectious, only Qiao Tsuka knew it early on, so he asked, "Who are they?" ”

Xiao Yaonu was stunned and shook his head, "I don't know, it's just a group of officials." ”

"Then who you are, and where you come from, tell the truth, or go out of the valley." Qiao Tsuka said coldly.

Seeing this, although Le Ran couldn't bear it, it was indeed as others said, this symptom seemed to be very contagious, so if he didn't understand the reason, for the sake of nearly 100 people in the medicine valley, this little medicine slave was afraid that he would really be expelled from the valley. Then she didn't say much, just patted the little medicine slave on the shoulder soothingly, motioned for him to sit down, and said.

After the little medicine slave sat down, he raised his eyes and looked at everyone, and said with some hesitation: "My name is Ah Lang, originally from Yuehua County, Nanyue Kingdom, fifteen years old, my father and mother used to run a wine shop in the town, but I died unexpectedly when I was eight years old, and then the wine shop was occupied by my uncle and aunt, they no longer let me go to the school to study, forced me to do miscellaneous work in the wine store, only to give me food, this kind of day, once it is six or seven years, a few months ago when they went out, I deceived my cousin and cousin, with a little money that I have hidden all these years, Fled to the neighboring Qinghua County, I wanted to find a local inn to work as a handyman to support myself, but who knew that in the event of a natural disaster, a large number of victims were exiled to Tsinghua County, and then I was recruited to take care of these victims. However, who knew that before the people arrived, the epidemic broke out suddenly, first a few people were infected with a strange disease, first there was a black spot on the palm, and then as the black spot enlarged, the body began to fester, and then many people were infected, and Qinghua County became an epidemic area, and almost everyone who had contact with the victims was infected with ......"

Le Ran handed a cup of tea to the little medicine slave named Ah Lang, and after seeing him drink it, he asked, "What about after this?" ”

Putting down the tea bowl, Ah Lang continued: "After that, everyone was confined in a trap, and some of the victims didn't know who they listened to, and smashed the fence in the epidemic area, and everyone didn't want to wait for death to run away, but the officers and soldiers chased after them overnight, blocked the city gate, and most of them were still arrested, and I, because I didn't have any paperwork when I ran away, I found a ditch and sneaked in, so I still found the same way out." It's just that now Hong Lin hasn't completely receded, and the water is too fast, so I don't know where to go, and when I wake up again, I'll be in the medicine valley. ”

Speaking of which, Le Ran already understood Ah Lang's origin, and because he had no father or mother, he inevitably felt a little more distressed about him. And the gray crane naturally classified his acquaintance with him as the fate of being reborn after a mistake.

Only Qiao Tsuka has always felt that this fate seems to be too coincidental, but in the end, for the sake of Ah Lang not lying about the epidemic on his body, he has not delved into it for the time being.

"So that's the case, I haven't had time to ask you about your origin in detail before, but this time I finally know, what should Ah Lang do now?" Grey Crane asked.

Le Ran thought about it, looked at Qiao Zun and said, "Senior brother, I want to ......", before he finished speaking, he was directly rejected by Qiao Zun, "You'd better not think about it, not only me, but also Uncle Shi won't allow it." ”

"Why? You haven't heard me yet. Leran said dissatisfied.

Qiao Tsuka looked at her and said patiently: "I know what you have to say, and I understand what you think, but now is not the time, don't be willful." After that, without giving her a second chance to refute, he turned his head sideways and said to the gray crane: "You take him with you to take care of him, arrange a medicine house next door to you for him to live alone, where he lived before, smoke and disinfect the medicine as soon as possible, and in addition, you can't take him to the medicine spring, you have to take medicine alone, and the prescription will come to me later." ”

"Yes, master, then I'll take him to settle down again." Gray Crane said.

Qiao Tsuka nodded in agreement, and then picked up the chopsticks again and ate them, after the two left, he put down the chopsticks, looked at Le Ran, who had been eating silently, a little helpless, but still took the initiative to put the vegetables in her bowl, "Eat some food, didn't you just say that the food is delicious?" ”

"What's the use of being delicious, you may not be able to eat it later." Leran was still a little depressed about what had just happened.

Qiao Tsuka's eyes looked at her with a faint look, and he didn't persuade her much, and while eating vegetables, he said to the air: "My junior sister Bing Xue is smart, I don't believe she will not understand my intentions." ”

Le Ran sneered when he heard this, "Heh, this is not like what my unsmiling senior brother can say, but it's true that I'm smart Bingxue, so I'm naturally sensible." ”

When Qiao Tsuka heard this, he picked up the chopsticks and gently knocked her on the head as a punishment, and Le Ran reciprocated it with a grimace.

Then Qiao Tsuka said: "Remember when I said I asked you for help with something?" ”

Le Ran nodded, and responded while eating: "Remember, this thing is related to the rotten branches on the hair, right?" ”

Qiao Tsuka thought about it, it was indeed related, and nodded one by one.

"What's the matter, let's talk, I'm done, I'm going back to sleep, I've been on the road for two days, I'm so tired." Rakuran put down his chopsticks and rubbed his somewhat sour neck.

Qiao Tsuka looked at her a little apologetically and said, "I'm afraid it's hard for you to rest tonight......"

"Huh? What do you mean, what do you need to do in the middle of the night, you won't be so unlucky, and you will meet a 'living dead' again. Rakuran joked.

"It does ......"

"Huh? It won't be so unlucky......"

"It's true, it's not that serious, but it's true that someone is soaking in the medicine spring right now, and you need to bring her back tonight." After Qiao Tsuka finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.

Le Ran grabbed him and asked, "You saved the person this time, why did I go again?" ”

"Because it's only you." Qiao Tsuka said affirmatively.

Le Ran asked strangely, "Why can it only be me?" ”

"Curious?"

Rakuran nodded, "Yes." "Yes.

Old God Qiao Tsuka looked at her presence, then took her hand away and said, "Go, you will know." Then it disappeared, leaving Leran alone to think in place, how did he feel deceived?
