Chapter 8: Misses
Xia Zhi took a fan and fanned the fire, completing the routine of decoction as soon as possible. Doctor Huang walked over with his hands behind his back, [Xia Zhi, you just made a mistake, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you, it's better to be calm during this time, don't make some excessive moves. 】
[Dr. Huang, what's wrong? Summer Solstice doesn't understand his abnormality. Except for matters related to prescriptions, other aspects are ignored.
The old man didn't answer, looked up at the sky, and said, "Anyway, you can do it yourself. When the medicine is decocted, it will be sent to the girls, don't delay. Then he turned and left.
Xia Solstice was confused, thinking back to the past few days, the only thing that could be connected was the silver hairpin incident. Regarding the early release, Xiaolou and others complained a lot, feeling that the were unfair, but they were chewing their tongues behind their backs, and they still maintained peace on the surface.
didn't have time to think too much, Xia Zhi wanted to find Father Zhao as soon as possible. As soon as the affairs of Tongxiangyuan were finished, he immediately hurried out to continue to check the inn.
Coming out of the inn, Xia Zhi had a disappointed expression on his face, took a deep breath and cheered up and marched to the next house. There was a familiar figure running over in front of him, and he looked like he was in a hurry.
[Luo Ying! Summer Solstice opened his mouth to stop.
Luo Ying saw that it was the summer solstice, and directly took her hand and continued to walk forward, while explaining, [I just found out about the person you are looking for at Yuelai Restaurant, and the store said that they checked out half an hour ago and set off for the ferry, ready to leave Tongzhen. I was going to rush and see if I could intercept it. 】
[Huh? Why did you just leave? Xia Zhi asked in disbelief, her daughter is still missing, did she give up looking for it?
Luo Ying glanced at her and said, [The store mentioned that the guest surnamed Zhao was going to take office immediately, and it is estimated that he is about to take office, so he can't leave if he doesn't go. He didn't directly ask Xia Zhi why he wanted to find him, but just told the truth what he had learned.
The two hurried to the ferry, but fortunately the boatman was still busy untying the ropes on the bollard, and the boat was still docked on the shore. Xia Zhi trotted to the trestle bridge, panting and shouting at the people in the cabin, [Excuse me, is the old man of the Zhao family on the boat?] 】
The curtain of the cabin was lifted, and what appeared was a white-clothed boy, who saw Xia Zhi and waved very enthusiastically, [It turned out to be you Xia Solstice girl!] This boat was chartered by me, and it is not the old man of the Zhao family as you said. 】
How you love boating! Xia Zhi looked at Bai Linfeng with a smile and held back the twitching corners of his mouth. The boatman was kind and interjected, [Is the Master Zhao that the girl is looking for the same Master Zhao who brought the family with him? It looks like it's full of posture. 】
Xia Zhi nodded again and again, [Do you know where they went? 】
[Oh, their family went north by boat half an hour ago, no, there is no sign of the boat. The boatman pointed from afar, and there was only the waves of the river as far as the eye could see, and there was no trace of any boats.
The summer solstice is very frustrated, I didn't think about it, I missed it in half an hour, if I could find a few more inns yesterday, maybe it will be another result now. Now that she was in such a situation, she had no idea for a while.
Xia Zhi's sense of loss was revealed, and Luo Ying also saw it in his eyes and asked with concern, [Xia Zhi, are you okay? 】
[Oh, good. The summer solstice finally came back to his soul and saw that the boatman was ready to sail, so he said goodbye to Bai Linfeng, [Bai Gongzi, I won't delay your time, a good wind! By the way, there is also this ......] Xia Zhi took out the wooden card carved with white characters, and last time he received his wooden card on a whim, and after realizing it, the things he could carry with him must not be ordinary things. Now I happened to meet Bai Linfeng who was leaving, and it was best to return things to their original owners.
Bai Linfeng's attention was not on Xia Zhi and the wooden card, but stared at Luo Ying next to her, looked up and down and seemed to have a conclusion, and said to Xia Zhi, [You wait for me. As he spoke, he turned around and went into the cabin.
Xia Zhi asked suspiciously, [Do you know? 】
Luo Ying shook his head decisively, [Unmasked. 】
This is strange, Luo Ying is very good-looking at his young age, but he is not staring intently, right?
Between thoughts, Bai Linfeng came out of the cabin again, still holding a few thick books in his hand, [These medical books are carefully selected by me, seeing that you are a person who is interested in medicine, we will also be considered to be fate, so I will send you. You also keep the wooden card, and if you don't understand anything about medical books, ask Shopkeeper Li. It's the same sentence last time, if you need any help, just show the wooden card, and the people in the medicine store will do their best to help. 】
Xia Zhi took the heavy medical book without knowing it, and watched Bai Linfeng sail away. It's just a three-sided relationship, and Bai Linfeng has to take care of it so much, and he is flattered and full of doubts at the same time. The two are not related, could it be that this is what the world often says?
The search plan failed, Luo Ying was summoned by a strange signal again, and Xia Zhi walked back with heavy steps, thinking about how to explain this cruel truth to Zhao Yutong.
As soon as she stepped into the back door of Tongxiang Courtyard, she suddenly rushed out and surrounded Xia Solstice, and someone had already come over with hemp rope to tie her up cleanly, and her mouth was also plugged with a strip of cloth, and she couldn't make a sound.
Xia Zhi's eyes widened in fright, is this a robber entering the door? To be confirmed, the little guys in front of him are all subordinates of Tongxiangyuan, and the cold sweat still can't stop flowing. inexplicably remembered what Dr. Huang said to her earlier, could it be that this was all premeditated?
The little maids brought the summer solstice to the study, which is the place where usually deal with all kinds of affairs in Tongxiang Yuan. Generally, if you are brought to this place for interrogation, you must have committed a lot of crime. With a violent push from the little guy, Xia Zhi was forced to kneel on the ground in pain, and what was even more painful was that he couldn't panic in his heart......
In the study, the who were accounting for the accounts sat on the main seat, raised their eyes and glanced at Xia Zhi, put down the brush, and sent the little maids to retreat.
[Summer solstice, you have stayed in Tongxiang Courtyard since you were born, I asked myself not to treat you badly, let you follow Dr. Huang to learn medical science, and usually you are only responsible for the girls' medicinal soup, which can be said to be preferential. Unexpectedly, it was a white-eyed wolf who didn't know how to repay the favor! 's tone became serious, and the three words of white-eyed wolf were even more word-by-word, and her anger could be heard.
Xia Solstice could only make a whining sound, trying to defend but not knowing where to start. pulled out the strip of cloth and threw it on the ground, [If there is anything you want to say, you can make it clear at one time.] 】
[I don't know what are angry about? ] I didn't do anything to be sorry for Kirikain. Xia Zhi said that he had a clear conscience, although he had always wanted to escape from this land of fireworks, he had never thought of doing anything unfavorable to it.
sneered, [Hmph, it's still hard-mouthed.] Then we will open the skylight and speak brightly, and we will never wronged you. Come out! The last sentence is addressed to the person behind the screen.
As soon as the words fell, the figure behind the screen shook. Xia Zhi looked at the person in front of him and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
