The area occupied by the Xia family, if placed in modern times, is naturally a first-class mansion; But in ancient times, when the land was vast and sparsely populated, such an area was really nothing. The whole house is divided into four courtyards: the old lady lives in the north courtyard, the big house lives in the east courtyard, and the second room lives in the west courtyard; The three-bedroom apartment is in the more remote south courtyard. The south courtyard is the farthest from the upper house in the north courtyard, and when you used to ask for peace, you had to cross the stone bridge over the pond and the small garden.

But such a layout, in Xia Jin's eyes, is exactly in the middle.

A while ago, she took advantage of physical training, while walking around the garden and paths, she looked at all the corners of the Xia Mansion, and finally found a place very similar to the collapsed wall of the medical hall - behind a dense bamboo forest not far from the south courtyard. Although the wall did not collapse, there was a pile of rocks on the ground, and there was bamboo to borrow, and it was still a secluded alley outside the wall, which was the most suitable for her to sneak in and out of the Xia Mansion.

The advantage of being far away from the upper room and the cold weather is that there are few pedestrians, and Xia Jin arrived at the bamboo forest very smoothly. She stood on the stone pile, picked a bamboo, and with the help of the bamboo marble, she easily jumped on the wall with a gentle swing. Seeing that there was no one in the alley, she took a light breath, jumped up, and fell to the ground, her posture was light, and the sound of falling footsteps was also very soft. Xia Jin nodded with satisfaction.

The training during this period was still very effective.

Out of the alley, Xia Jin inquired about the location of Zuiyue Tower, and found that it was not far from Xia Mansion, and it would take a quarter of an hour to walk, and she didn't bother to hire a carriage, so she went straight to Zuiyue Tower.

Xia Chan will definitely not do it in Zuiyue Tower, he should choose to be in a secluded alley, and it is also a necessary place for Xia Jin to go to Zuiyue Tower.

So she walked all the way, observing the terrain all the way. I also prepared a few copper plate rewards, found a child playing on the side of the road, and went to the front to explore the way.

"Huh." Suddenly, she spotted a familiar face in a group of children playing.

It was the boy who was beaten by Mr. Luo for stealing something in front of the teahouse that day - no, it should be said that it was a girl. This child, like Xia Jin, should be a woman dressed as a man.

However, she was not playing with the other children at this time, but standing on the side of the road, looking at the sky, looking sluggish and confused. He was still wearing the same patched clothes he wore that day.

Such an expression, such a woman dressed as a man, faintly touched the string hidden in Xia Jin's heart. She walked over and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

The girl's motionless eyes blinked for a moment, and when she came back to her senses, she looked at Xia Jin and said in surprise: "You? It's you! ”

Xia Jin nodded, and then looked at a dilapidated house behind him: "This is your house?" ”

The girl nodded, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

Xia Jin remembered that day that the child said that her brother was seriously ill, frowned and asked, "What, your brother's illness is not well?" ”

The girl's tears welled up at once, and she choked up: "The doctor said that my brother is seriously ill and cannot be cured." ”

Xia Jin was silent for a while, and said, "I'll go to do something, and at most I will fight back and forth for one meal." I'll see your brother when I get back. Seeing the girl look up at her in a daze, she added, "I'm Langzhong." ”

"Really?" The girl's eyes lit up, and then she thought of something, and glanced at Xia Jin vaguely, her eyes darkened, but she still bowed her hand respectfully, "Thank you, Childe." ”

Xia Jin saw the change in her expression. She nodded secretly and said, "But before that, you can do one thing for me." ”

"If Childe has anything, just give me orders." The girl looked up at her, but there was a hint of wariness in her eyes.

"Someone wanted to plot against me, probably on the way to Zuiyue Tower. You go and help me find out where they're hiding. ”

Hearing this, the girl was obviously relieved, and a wine vortex appeared on her face: "This is no problem, Childe will find out after waiting here for a while." So saying, he went quickly.

After a while, she ran back out of breath and said, "Father...... Childe, I see them. Walk through this alley, cross another street, turn a corner, and there are three men standing there, as if waiting for someone. When I passed, they looked at me and went back to say a few words. I deliberately looked behind them, it seemed to be a small courtyard, the door was hidden, and the man should be hiding behind the courtyard door. ”

Hearing the girl's words in a clear manner, and even Xia Chan's hiding place was explored, Xia Jin couldn't help but look at her intently, and nodded secretly.

"I'll do this first, and I'll come back to you later." Xia Jin said, after walking a few steps, she turned back again, "By the way, what's your name?" ”

The girl hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Dong Fang." He added, "The square of the square circle." ”

Xia Jin looked at her deeply and walked away.

Although he inquired about the situation, Xia Jin was still careful all the way. After passing through two alleys, crossing a street, and turning a corner, she saw two men dressed as subordinates looking in this direction.

She looked at the courtyard that Dong Fang had mentioned, looked around again, and then retreated to the intersection and passed through another alley. After a while, she reached the other end of the alley, found a place to climb into the yard, and saw Xia Chan bending over and pouting his ass alone, looking out through the crack in the door.

When crossing another alley just now, Xia Jin had already picked up a broken sack on the side of the road. At this time, he walked quietly, suddenly covered Xia Chan with a sack, and then pushed his dumb hole hard, Xia Chan, who was about to cry for help, suddenly fell silent. She dragged Xia Chan to the next room, and took out the sack to fight well.

"Hmm, hmm......" Xia Chan saw clearly that it was Xia Jin who beat him, his eyes widened, but he couldn't make a sound in his mouth. The body is about to fight back, but where is Xia Jin's opponent? Before the fist could be swung out, he was kicked heavily in the abdomen; Before his feet were straightened, his waist was hit hard by Xia Jin's elbow joint. In the end, he gasped, squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, and gave up resisting.

Xia Jin punched and kicked the ground for a while, and suddenly felt refreshed, and all the grievances since the crossing disappeared with these punches and kicks. Seeing that it was almost over, she dodged out the door, ran into the corner and disappeared into the hazy twilight.

A quarter of an hour later, she showed up where she met Dong Fang.

Dong Fang is still standing there. Her hair, tied with old strips of cloth, was tossed by the evening wind, probably because of the cold, and she was leaning on her back, burying her hands in her arms, and pacing back and forth under her feet, her face pale from the cold. From time to time, she looked up and looked this way.

"Childe." Seeing Xia Jin, her eyes lit up, and she ran towards this side in small steps. Running in front of Xia Jin, she stopped, smiled shyly, and showed a few white teeth, "Your business is done?" He looked at Xia Jin again, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Xia Jin said, "Let's go, take me to see your brother." "She doesn't have much time, and she has to hurry back.

"Childe, please." Dong Fang turned around and led the way for Xia Jin.

Following Dong Fang into the dilapidated hut, Xia Jin's brows furrowed.

The house was built with wooden planks at random, and the gaps between the planks could not stop the cold wind of early spring; The roof beams are covered with thatch, and the light that shines through the thatched grass tells you what the hut is like when it rains.

In this humble room, the only furniture is a wooden bed—a bed, but in fact, it is a simple bed with planks placed on two benches and thatched on top of them.

At this time, there was a person lying on the bed, his face facing inward, and his body was covered with torn cotton wool that could not be seen in his true color, and his face and age could not be seen clearly.

Dong Fang walked over and was about to flip her brother over, when the man turned around and pulled the clothes on his body irritably. But man is unconscious.

"Brother, Lang Zhong is here. He'll give you a pulse. Dong Fang said softly, pulled her brother's hand over, and put it next to the bed.

Xia Jin stretched out his hand, his brows furrowed, and asked, "Didn't Lang Zhong who invited him prescribe antipyretics?" ”

It turned out that Dong Fang's elder brother was like blazing charcoal, and he felt hot to the touch, and Xia Jin estimated that he couldn't be afraid of thirty-nine or forty degrees Celsius.

Dong Fang's tears fell: "It's open, it's useless, I don't sweat at all." Lang Zhong said...... Tell me to prepare for the aftermath.
