Chapter 17: The Pavilion Master

"By the way, this burden is yours, I see that you have been holding it tightly in your arms when you are unconscious." As he spoke, he handed her a navy blue package.

Reaching for it, she clutched the package tightly in her hand, and it was all she had now.

When the girl saw her like this, she pursed her lips, did not speak, packed up her things and silently closed the door.

In the next few days, Ling Xiaoxiao was recuperating in this courtyard, and due to Xiaoman's careful care, the wound on his arm had begun to stutter, and now it began to slowly fall off. But the strange thing is that except for Xiaoman, I didn't see anyone else, obviously someone knocked on the door that morning to hand over the medicine.

On the second day here, she went to the courtyard to bask in the sun and relax, and also tried to go outside, but after walking for a long time, she still kept going around in the garden, and couldn't find her way out, and finally Xiaoman found her and took her back to the room.

On this day, Ling Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help it, pulled Xiao Man to sit on the stone bench in the courtyard, and said anxiously: "Xiao Man, I think I should say goodbye, I have been disturbed for so long." ”

"You're leavingβ€”" Xiao Man asked uncertainly.

Nodding, "Yes." ”

"But isn't it good here?" Pouting, Xiaoman asked.

"It's good here, but I have more important things to do now, and I have to go." "She has things to do, so she can't afford to waste any more time here.

"But ......," a look of loneliness flashed across the girl's face.

"But what?" Ling Xiaoxiao asked suspiciously.

"But you haven't paid for the medicine yet."

Looking for prestige, I don't know when, there was a person standing under the tree in the courtyard, dressed in light cyan clothes, black hair canopy, with a pale belt around his waist, the most striking thing was the silver mask on the half of his face, revealing a cold breath all over his body.

"Pavilion Master-" Xiao Man ran forward excitedly, the corner of the man's mouth smiled, and he looked at the girl very dotingly.

Ling Xiaoxiao looked at the person in front of her with some vigilance, she didn't know what was going on, she always had the urge to run, "I don't know what the pavilion master meant just now?" She wished that what she had just heard was a delusion.

The man didn't answer, just turned around, stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on Xiao Man's forehead, "Let you take care of people, why do you still take care of people's hearing." ”

The corners of his mouth stiffened, and no matter how stupid he was, he could hear what he meant.

"Pavilion master, how can there be, people are very responsible, you see that it has only been a few days, and this little face will be red." Xiao Man jumped out of the man's surroundings with a smile, came to Ling Xiaoxiao, pointed to her cheek and said to the man.

Hearing this, Ling Xiaoxiao's face turned red in an instant, and his hand unconsciously touched the flesh on his waist, it was indeed fat, "Hehe, yes, thanks to Xiaoman for taking care of him so thoughtfully." ”

"Look, yes, I'm not lying." The girl stuck out her tongue at the man triumphantly.

"You, now go and classify the medicinal materials that Xiaobao brought back, and use them in the near future."

"Well, you know how to send me."

After saying that, Xiaoman ran out, and Ling Xiaoxiao and the man were left in the courtyard, and Ling Xiaoxiao looked around a little uncomfortably.

"I just heard that the girl is leaving?" The man chuckled, then said.

"Well, I've been bothering here for a long time, and I still have things to do, so I don't dare to bother you anymore." In the past few days, under Xiaoman's careful care, the injury has almost healed, and it is time to leave.

"Really? In that case, let's ask the girl to pay for the medicine. ”

"What?" Ling Xiaoxiao couldn't believe her ears.

"It seems that I really want to teach Xiaoman a lesson, and I really can't take care of people's hearing." The man sighed softly and said regretfully.

Hey, don't change the subject, if she heard it right, let her give money.

As if he had guessed what she was thinking at the moment, the man nodded, "Since the day I saved you, I have wasted a lot of medicinal materials on you, and my Fengxian Pavilion has never done a loss-making business." ”

Quietly wiping the money bag on his waist, Ling Xiaoxiao asked tentatively, "Is it expensive?" ”

"Do you think it's going to be cheap?" The man asked rhetorically.

It shouldn't be cheap, she can still remember now, at the beginning, Xiao Man looked at the medicine bowl beating his chest, "How much silver does it cost?" "A-Niang left a lot of money for herself, so it should be enough to pay.

The man has a finger on his right hand.

"One or two?" Ling Xiaoxiao guessed.

The man smiled and shook his head.

"Ten taels?"

"One hundred taels ......" she didn't dare to guess anymore.

β€œ......”

Ruthlessly handed the money bag to the other party, "I only have so much, and I'll give you the rest when I have money." ”

The man took the money bag, took it and weighed it in his hand, and then said, "Our Fengxian Pavilion never gives credit, and you can't even buy one-tenth of the medicinal herbs with this little money." ”

"Then I'll make an IOU, so it's all right."

"No, the IOU is just a piece of black and white, and there is still no silver for nothing, not to mention what if you repay the debt in the future."

There was no room for negotiation in the man's words, Ling Xiaoxiao simply broke the jar and broke it, "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, what should I do, anyway, I don't have anything now, you just watch it." ”

For Ling Xiaoxiao's reaction, the man seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and the corners of his mouth curled, "Very good, this is what you said, Mo Ying." ”

"Pavilion Master."

In an instant, a man appeared behind the man, handing a piece of paper to his hand.

The man handed the paper to Ling Xiaoxiao and gestured, "No problem, just press a handprint." ”

took it, glanced at it, and three bright characters jumped into front of him, "Deed of Sale?!" Ling Xiaoxiao felt a little ridiculous, this was too outrageous.

"What? Since ancient times, it has been natural to repay debts. ”

That sounded true, but she didn't want to waste her life here.

"I can't sign this, I'll pay you back anyway." Returning the paper to the person in front of him, without waiting for the other party to respond, he went back to the house, and after a while, he came out with a burden on his shoulder, just passing by the man, and the man's words made her stop.

"Yesterday, I accidentally saw a notice on the street, it seems to be catching a female thief, and the bounty is quite a lot."

Ling Xiaoxiao turned her head sharply and looked at him sharply, "What exactly do you want to say?" ”

The man sat down slowly on the stone bench, looked at Ling Xiaoxiao and said lightly: "If I were you, I would avoid this limelight, after a long time, if the government hasn't caught anyone, it will just find someone to fill up the mess, instead of rushing out in a hurry like you and throwing yourself into the net." After a pause, he continued, "Besides, are you going out?"
