095 Faking illness
When she came to the side courtyard, Luo Xuyan wanted to ask someone to take care of Cui Jing, but she looked left and right and couldn't find a suitable person.
At this time, everyone was either very tired and resting, or they were ready to go to the mourning hall to do things.
Luo Xuyan had no choice but to bring hot water in person and motioned Cui Jing to wash.
Cui Jingshi clumsily rinsed her mouth and washed her face, and saw her dig out her clean clothes from her baggage.
"Put it on yourself." She said, and walked out of the room.
When Luo Xuyan came back, she was still wearing dirty clothes when she saw Cui Jing, and her fingers were fiddling with the clothes belt.
"How?" She put down her breakfast, walked over, and asked.
Cui Jingshi looked at Luo Xuyan pitifully, "I'm ...... I can't untie ......"
Luo Xuyan looked at it, and it turned out that his clothes were uneasy and did not untie it, but turned into a dead knot under repeated pulling.
She lowered her head and tried to untie the knot.
Cui Jingshi lowered his head slightly, looking at the little girl who was close at hand, but he could only see the top of her hair and the pale snow-blue velvet flowers on her bun.
Luo Xuyan snorted, turned around and walked away.
Cui Jingshi looked at the dead knot that had not changed at all, and then found that Luo Xuyan was back in front of him, with an extra pair of scissors in his hand.
"It's too troublesome, cut it directly, and when you're free, sew a new one." She neatly cut the belt of her clothes, "Okay, you take off your clothes and change them." β
"Oh." Cui Jing took off her dirty clothes.
Luo Xuyan said again: "Breakfast is here, you can rest for a while after eating." Remember, stay in this room, don't run around, be careful, you know? β
"I see." Cui Jing responded.
Luo Xuyan breathed a sigh of relief, returned to her room, freshened up, and changed her clothes, she didn't have much of the heart to eat breakfast, and planned to lean on the bed and take a nap.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she lay down, a loud cry of "ah" sounded outside, followed by a cry.
She was a little familiar with this voice, and then she heard the crying and howling, so she quickly put on her shoes and went out to look.
The voice came from Cui Jingshi's house, Luo Xuyan walked over, and when she saw Cui Jing, she was holding her stomach and rolling on the ground, her pale face was covered with fine sweat, and the clothes she dared to change were also rolling dirty on the ground.
"What's wrong with you?" She asked.
Cui Jingshi cried: "Sister Ayan...... I have a stomachache ......."
"I'm going to call the doctor." Luo Xuyan rubbed his shoulders and gave him a little comfort, then ran out quickly, grabbed a passing housekeeper, and asked, "Do you have a doctor at home?" β
"Yes." Jia Ding asked, "It's Miss Luo who wants to see a doctor." β
"Well, please ask the doctor to come over as soon as possible." Luo Xuyan said.
Jia Ding knew that this Luo girl was in charge of the funeral of the assassin history, and she couldn't have the slightest difference, so he put aside the matter at hand for the time being, and hurriedly invited the doctor.
Luo Xuyan returned to Cui Jingshi's side, held his shoulder, and comforted: "The doctor will come over soon, and it won't hurt soon." β
Cui Jingshi was still holding his stomach, and Lian Sheng wailed, sounding very pitiful.
Luo Xuyan tried to help him up, but this guy was too heavy, and he kept writhing on the ground, which made it even more difficult.
She tried twice, but she had to give up, and when the doctor and the family came back, several people teamed up to move Cui Jingshi to the kang.
"Trouble doctor." Luo Xuyan said.
When the family saw that it was not Miss Luo who wanted to see a doctor, but an ordinary guy in a coffin shop, he opened his face, but found that there was nothing to say, so he stood aside and watched.
The doctor comforted Cui Jing for a few words, and then checked his pulse, "...... Strange, the pulse is normal, not as if it is a disease. β
Cui Jingshi glanced at the doctor and continued to cry out in pain.
The doctor looked at his face and tongue again, and then asked Jia Ding to help him hold Cui Jingshi's hands and feet, "Where does it hurt badly, just say it, you know?" As he spoke, he pressed his stomach a few times.
However, when he pressed that place, Cui Jing screamed again and again.
ββ¦β¦ This ......," the doctor was a little puzzled, "I can't see what the problem is at the moment, I'll give him a pill first, which can relieve his pain, and then let's see the situation." β
"Trouble doctor." Luo Xuyan said.
The doctor took out a small medicine bottle from the medicine box and poured out a small black pill.
Jia Ding hurriedly poured a bowl of water, broke Cui Jingshi's mouth, and poured it down with water pills.
Cui Jingshi continued to hold his stomach and curled up on the kang.
The doctor watched from the side, and the family still had something to do, so he left in a hurry.
Luo Xuyan rubbed her eyes a little sour, her eyelids seemed to be hanging on a thousand catties of boulders at this moment, and she was very sleepy.
But when she thought of Ah Ba's strange stomachache, and she didn't know what the hell he was doing, she didn't want to leave, so she could only hold on and sit next to her.
After a while, Cui Jingshi's wailing voice gradually subsided, and his face looked better.
The doctor looked at the pulse again, but still didn't see anything wrong, "...... It may be that you are in too much of a hurry to eat, so you have a stomachache, rest more, and eat something light, and it's fine. β
"I see, thank you, doctor." Luo Xuyan responded, glancing at the man on the kang, a little unpredictable.
The doctor put down Cui Jingshi's hand and packed up the medicine box.
Cui Jingshi looked at him dumbfoundedly and asked softly, "You are so powerful." β
"I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have seen and treated many incurable diseases." The doctor said.
"Wow, that sounds amazing." Cui Jingshi clapped his hands, glanced at Luo Xuyan, and asked, "Did you also cure the assassination history?" β
Speaking of the history of the assassination, the doctor's face was a little solemn, and he sighed: "It's a pity that I tried my best, but I couldn't save the history of the assassin Alasββ"
And Luo Xuyan, who heard Cui Jing mention the history of assassination, walked to his side, stared at his stupid face, and did not speak.
Cui Jingshi said: "Wow, I'm the same as Thorn Shi, I see the same doctor!" β
This seemed to be a great thing for him, dancing on the kang.
"Bang", he waved his hand, the medicine box next to him was knocked over on the ground, the bottles and cans inside rolled out, the doctor screamed, leaned over to pick up things.
Cui Jingshi immediately covered his eyes, looked scared, and shouted: "I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it......"
The doctor looked at his appearance, frowned, looked up and asked Luo Xuyan, "Is he ......?"
He didn't say it, but pointed to his own head.
Luo Xuyan saw that she couldn't hide this matter, so she had to sigh and nod.
The doctor shook his head, it was not good to deal with a fool, and buried himself in sorting out his medicine box.
Luo Xuyan pulled Cui Jingshi's hand away and said, "You did something wrong, you have to say sorry to the doctor." β
After pulling his hand away, she paid special attention to his expression.
The scared look doesn't look like it's pretending.
Cui Jingshi shrank his head, then slowly got off the kang and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to......"
The doctor said, "It's okay." β
"I'll pick it up for you." Cui Jingshi squatted down "enthusiastically" and reached out to help the doctor clean up together.
The doctor pushed his hand away and said, "I have my own number of these things, I'll sort them out, you can go and rest." β
Cui Jingshi shrunk his shoulders and watched from the side.
He knocked over the medicine box so thoroughly that basically everything rolled out.
He looked closely, there was no box in the medicine box, and everything fell into his eyes clearly.
Could it be that one of these bottles and cans is problematic?
Cui Jingshi licked his lips that were a little dry, and said, "Thorn Shi looks like a good person, how can he die...... My mother said that good people live a long life......"
The doctor said, "This is fate......
Cui Jingshi listened to his exclamation, and looked at the small medicine bottles again.
Almost everything had a small note attached to it indicating what the pill was inside.
Moreover, judging from the doctor's speech and demeanor, he doesn't want to be a person with superb poison skills.
Cui Jingshi climbed back to the kang, watched the doctor pack up his things, and left with the medicine box.
But Luo Xuyan didn't leave, she sat on the edge of the kang and looked at Cui Jingshi.
Cui Jingshi was looked at by her cold eyes, hugged the pillow tightly, shrunk into a ball, and asked timidly: "Sister Ayan, why are you looking at me......"
Luo Xuyan suddenly leaned over and grabbed him by the collar.
Cui Jingshi was startled by the sudden movement, and when he wanted to react, he and Luo Xuyan's faces were almost together.
They were so close that they could feel her breathing.
Cui Jingshi stammered and asked, "Ah, Ayan...... Sister Ayan...... You, you, you......"
Luo Xuyan looked at the panic and confusion flashing in his eyes, let go of his hand, and stepped back, "You are so resting, don't run around, otherwise it will ......" Her tone became grim, "I will break your legs." β
Cui Jingshi shuddered.
Luo Xuyan left quickly.
When the people left, Cui Jingshi's whole body relaxed, collapsed on the kang, and waited for about a stick of incense, when he heard the voice of Luo Xuyan calling out to the moon.
After a while, Luo Xuyan tidied up her plain clothes and hurriedly left the side courtyard with Zhiyue.
Cui Jingshi immediately straightened a carp, sat up from the kang, came to the side of the bed with an arrow step, and peeked out.
The courtyard was quiet, and there was no one in sight.
He raised his hand to his chest and took a deep breath.
Zeng Tingshi and the doctor couldn't find any clues on their bodies, and looking at the huge mansion, the quickest way was to dig out the truth from Luo Xuyan's mouth.
But now he is a fool, relying on this to win the sympathy of the coffin shop guy and stay, rashly revealing the truth, telling Luo Xuyan that he has been pretending to be a fool, what will be the result?
With Luo Xuyan's temperament, he will definitely be driven away, where is the kung fu to ask her how she died in Zeng Assassination?
What's more, Luo Xuyan has always had a mysterious attitude towards him, and she really can't tell her the truth.
Cui Jing pinched his eyebrows with a headache, rummaged in the room for a while, and found a hat from the cabinet.
He took the hat, walked out of the side courtyard, and walked on the path, and from time to time there were people coming and going, but everyone was in a hurry, and there was no leisure to ask each other what they were doing.
When only a few officials who were patrolling by saw Cui Jing, they felt that he was angry and stopped for interrogation.
"Where are you from, how come I have never seen you?"
Cui Jingshi said: "I am from the Xu Ji coffin shop in Xiazhou, and Miss Ayan told me to go out and buy something. β
The official saw that he spoke properly, and then carefully saw that the clothes on his body were indeed similar to the other people in the coffin shop, so he nodded and said, "Let's go." β
"Yes." After Cui Jingshi waited for the officials to go away, he quickened his pace, put on a hat, and walked out of the state yamen from the side gate.
Although Jingzhou is a rich place, but after the death of the assassin, there are fewer people coming and going on the street, and the atmosphere is also gloomy.
Cui Jingshi looked at the spacious streets and the buildings of varying heights, and walked to the east without hesitation.
In fact, he and his subordinates did not agree on where to meet if they got separated, but their final destination was in Jingzhou.
His subordinates must have thought that he would arrive in Jingzhou no matter what, so maybe they could meet in this vast sea of people.
However, this also means that those who chase him will also come to Jingzhou to look for his traces.
Cui Jingshi lowered the brim of his hat and walked unhurriedly along the base of the wall.
He was dressed in a short suit and looked extremely ordinary, and he couldn't attract anyone's attention on the street.
He didn't go far and made two circles around the state yamen.
Cui Jing did not find any trace of his subordinates, he had a faint loss in his heart, but he was helpless and planned to go back.
The people guarding the small gate remembered him, so they returned to the side courtyard unimpeded.
The courtyard was still silent, there was no one, Cui Jingshi took off his hat and pushed open the door, everything was the same as when he left. He looked out of the door, and then looked at the house where Luo Xuyan lived, and the door was also closed.
He gently closed the door and lay down on the kang as if nothing had happened.
But what he didn't know was that Luo Xuyan was standing by the window and saw everything clearly in his eyes.
She went to the mourning hall to do something for a while, and then took time out to go back to the side courtyard to have a look, and unexpectedly found that Cui Jing was not there.
She knew that this most likely meant that her suspicions had been true.
Then, she arranged the rest of the matter, and stayed in her room, with a small slit in the window paper, enough for her to spy outside.
Wait, wait, she finally waited for the person to come back.
There was a stupid look on this man's face, his demeanor was exactly the same as that of a normal person, and his eyes were ......
Luo Xuyan couldn't help but think of the man who ruthlessly said the words "kill her".
She grabbed the hem of her shirt tightly and took several deep breaths to calm down.
Now I just know that this man is pretending to be crazy and stupid, but what is his identity, where his accomplices are, and the purpose of his coming to Jingzhou are not known, so she must not immediately debunk his identity and startle the snake.
Zeng Shi's funeral is complicated, and many times she can't leave, what should she do next?
