Chapter Twenty-Four: A Grass House in the Woods
The simple grass hut does not have much furnishings, only a few herb cabinets and a few small medicine stoves, which are filled with the unique bitter aroma of medicinal herbs.
On the only bed in the thatched hut, the petite girl's eyes were closed, and fine sweat oozed from her snow-white forehead. The boy sat down in front of the bed, holding a clean cloth in one hand and trying to wipe it for the girl. His clear black eyes flickered slightly, and he occasionally stared at the handkerchief in his hand and was a little distracted.
Bai Langzhong was weighing the herbs in the herb cabinet, and a scribbled prescription had already been placed next to him. Ah Li walked to the counter, looked at the prescription with inky eyes, and was silent for a while, realizing that he only seemed to recognize a few words.
Bai Langzhong saw him coming, put down the things in his hand and asked, "How is the situation?" ”
"I've been breaking out in a cold sweat, and I'm still not awake."
When Bai Langzhong heard this, he glanced at the prescription suspiciously, and said, "Is it?"
So he put down what he was holding, and the two of them went to the small room behind the grass hut together. Tian Yao, who was lying on the bed, still had her eyes closed, and there was no sign of waking up.
Bai Langzhong checked the pulse and found that the pulse was stable, so he smiled and said: "It's not a big problem, just wait, maybe I'll wake up after a while." ”
Ah Li nodded, looking at Bai Langzhong and suddenly stunned, it turned out that the latter had taken two leaves in his hand at some point and put them between Tian Yao's nose. The color of the leaves is bright and green, shining with a jewel-like luster, and it is not ordinary at first glance.
Paying attention to Ah Li's gaze, Bai Langzhong smiled and said, "A good product that calms the nerves and replenishes the brain, do you want to try it?" ”
Ah Li glanced at it and shook his head silently. So Bai Langzhong casually took out a few more flowers and plants, and inserted the medicinal herbs in his hand on the broken porcelain bottle on the side. Ah Li looked at the broken porcelain bottle on the windowsill that he had never noticed before, and silently swallowed the idea of asking about the effectiveness of the herb.
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the hut, breaking the silence of the neighborhood. Bai Langzhong looked out and motioned for himself to go out first, so as not to disturb Tian Yao.
When Bai Langzhong came in again, he had already changed his serious expression, and whispered to Ah Li: "The eldest lady of the village came just now, saying that the approval meeting about the Sun family is about to start, let us hurry over and don't delay the time of others." ”
After that, he had already begun to pack up his medicine box. After Bai Langzhong cleaned up, he found that Ah Li had not moved, looking at him lightly.
"What's wrong?" Bai Langzhong was a little puzzled, and he had the impression that Ah Li had always been a mature person, and he shouldn't cry like a child and say I don't want to go.
Ah Li's eyes stayed somewhere in the hut, so Bai Langzhong suddenly realized that it was because of this.
"You want to stay here with her?" Bai Langzhong smiled, and there was a hint of uncertainty in his smile.
Ah Li glanced at him lightly: "Does she really not need to be taken care of by others in her current situation?" There was a rare human concern in those light eyes.
His question, on the other hand, is also a distrust of Bailang's traditional Chinese medicine. If ordinary people would have felt humiliated a long time ago, Bai Langzhong said with a kind smile: "Actually, her current situation can be taken care of without others, even if you stay here, it may not be of any use." ”
At the end, he added: "But when the little girl wakes up, she will be glad to know that you are so considerate." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion, Bai Langzhong saw that the corners of Ah Li's eyes seemed to twitch, but when he looked closely, the young man looked as usual.
"But after all, this approval is about the Sun family, and you are also one of the key figures in it, if you don't go, Kenneng will lack some testimony about Sun's crimes, and what if the punishment is not severe? And the little girl surnamed Tian became like this because of these two people's injuries, will she really feel comfortable if she doesn't go?
"If Ah Yao is in danger again because of this, then I will be really uncomfortable." Ah Li seemed to smile.
His smile made Bai Langzhong feel quite strange: "Everyone went to listen to the approval today, and it is estimated that no one will come to this clinic." We should go back as soon as possible, and save you from worrying, how about it? ”
Ah Li was silent for a while, and looked at Tian Yao who was lying on the bed, with a rare hesitation in his eyes. In the end, he sighed lightly and said, "Okay, let's go." ”
Bai Langzhong was naturally very happy, so the two of them rushed in the direction of the ancestral hall in the village.
After the crowd is gone, the remaining medicinal fragrance is lingering, and the bamboo shadow is crisp.
The area around this small hut is a remote mountain forest. Except for those seeking medical treatment, few people pass by. At this moment, in this bamboo forest, which should have been silent, another person suddenly appeared.
"Looks like this is it."
This man was dressed in black and acted in a sneaky manner. Carefully check the surroundings to see if there are others, and only after making sure that there is no one around, do you slowly come out of the corner.
He easily opened the weak door of the hut, entered the hut lightly, and finally stood in front of the bed where Tian Yao was lying.
Immediately, the man in black stretched out a hand and began to take Tian Yao's pulse. After a while, the man in black looked solemn, as if he was not sure, and once again took Tian Yao's pulse.
This time he closed his eyes and was extremely serious, it may be that the answer has been affirmed, the man in black no longer continues to entangle, and his expression has returned to normal.
The man in black took out a delicate small bottle from his arms, then grabbed the girl's jaw with one hand and stuffed a white pill into the girl's mouth.
After all this was done, the black-clothed man relaxed and stretched his waist slightly, then squatted in front of the bed, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at the unconscious Tian Yao with a rare animal-like look.
"To be honest, it's the first time I've seen His Royal Highness so attentive to a girl, and I didn't believe what they said at first, but I didn't expect it to be true."
The man in black muttered while looking at Tian Yao's face: "It doesn't look like a lot of country and city, how many women like this, why did His Highness fall in love with this."
"Looking at the performance all the way, it is indeed different from ordinary people, she can be regarded as a strange woman, maybe this is the reason why His Highness is so concerned."
Suddenly, the man in black's eyes lit up and said, "Maybe this is the "fate" of His Highness, right?" He smiled, as if he was proud of his idea.
However, this strange woman's side is really dangerous, for example, if he hadn't released the wolf dog raised by His Royal Highness before, this little girl might have been strangled to death.
The man in black stayed in the clinic for a while, expecting the time when Ah Li and Bai Langzhong would return, and took Tian Yao's pulse again, this time the man in black showed a satisfied look, and after confirming that Tian Yao was fine, he flew out of the hut with a light effort.
The verdant pole bamboo forms a natural barrier, and the air is filled with the unique fresh and pleasant smell of bamboo leaves. In this peaceful scene, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, shuttling lightly in the bamboo forest, and the bamboo leaves fell lightly.
