Chapter 21: Two Cups of Tea

The night shrouded the land, and a few stars twinkled with the cold moon. The light breeze blows, rolling up the past, and the lights in the autumn city are getting brighter and brighter, and tonight is melancholy, but there are more than two or three.

The little girl Shi Yu was sitting in front of the door with her head pestled at this time, since Shen Jing and Su Yao left, Shi Yu always felt empty in her heart, and even lost her interest in reading the prescription, so now she is sitting alone in front of the door in a daze.

Senior Han was still like that, sitting on the counter drinking by himself, squinting at Shi Yu, who was not in high spirits, and said angrily: "You girl, you have been soulless since that kid left." ”

Hearing the master speak, Shi Yu straightened up. She didn't care about her master's quipping words, she just frowned and pondered: "Master, can Sister Su follow Brother Shen to Meiwu City to avoid those people who are chasing her?" ”

Han Zhongjing took a sip of wine and said with satisfaction: "With the protection of that kid's master, there will be no problems easily." Besides, Meiwu City was hundreds of miles away from here, and the Heavenly Supervisor couldn't find it for a while. How? Don't worry about that kid? ”

Finally the master saw through his thoughts, a red cloud appeared on Shi Yu's face, and he didn't know whether to nod or shake his head for a while, and he struggled for a long time before he stammered: "Master, Brother Shen, he... It's going to be fine, right? ”

"I know you're worried about that kid." Han Zhongjing gave Shi Yu a roll of his eyes, but he smiled for no reason in his heart.

"That kid's matter is more complicated, and I don't know what it will be like when he knows about it in the future. However, don't worry too much, that kid has a good heart, and with his master taking care of him, nothing can happen. ”

In fact, since Fang just asked, Shi Yu's attention was not focused on the master's answer, her thoughts were chaotic, and now she was drifting far away. Therefore, when she heard the master say that it was okay, she just didn't care. What Shi Yu is thinking, I'm afraid only she knows.

The moon is creeping up the treetops, and tonight's autumn city is extremely quiet. Seeing that it was getting late, Shi Yu was ready to close the door, and he was tired from running around this day, so he should have a good rest.

However, as soon as she got up and walked to the door, she noticed that there were two more figures outside the door, and the two people had their backs to the moonlight, and they couldn't see their faces clearly, and they were walking slowly towards the front of the hall at this time. Seeing this, Shi Yu first screamed, and his steps unconsciously retreated.

Han Zhongjing, who was sitting on the counter, also opened his eyes when he heard the sound and looked at the door.

"What's wrong, girl?"

"Master, there are guests!"

While Shi Yu and the master were talking, the two had already entered the door. Shi Yu looked at one of them in surprise, it was none other than the little Tiansi from last night. The two looked at each other, and the other party was also looking at her.

In the flash of light, Shi Yu seemed to smell the unusual smell in the air, so she thought about letting the other party leave, so she made an excuse at random. "Guest, we're closed, come back tomorrow." She said softly.

However, the other party didn't care about Shi Yu's eviction order, both of them looked calm, and the etiquette was very good, unmoved.

After a while, the red-clothed man in front of him said lightly: "Little girl, can you serve me two a cup of tea?" "The man in red leans over shallowly, and he can't find fault with his etiquette.

Seeing this, Shi Yu turned to look at the master in embarrassment, and when she saw the master nodding, she also nodded at the other party. "Well, wait a minute."

The two people who came in were also strange, and they didn't say anything else except begging Shi Yu for tea, and then went straight to a table and sat down. I don't know if it was deliberate or unintentional, at this time they happened to be sitting opposite Han Zhongjing on the counter, but there was neither words nor eye collision between the two sides.

After a while, Shi Yu brought tea. "Guest, please use it slowly!"

Song Wan took the teacup and gestured slightly to Shi Yu, and the first cup was naturally handed to Fu Nianzhi.

The tea entered his throat, and Fu Nianzhi said with a smile: "Shop, good tea." His voice was neither loud nor small, just enough for a few people present to hear it clearly.

Shi Yu wanted to tell the other party that this was just an ordinary wild tea in the mountains, but he didn't think about it, but the master over there opened his mouth: "Hehe, the guest might as well drink a few more cups." ”

"Good tea, one cup is enough!" Fu Nianzhi smiled.

After speaking, he put down the teacup and looked around, and sighed unconsciously: "People in the rivers and lakes seem to like seclusion, shop, this inn is very good." ”

Han Zhongjing smiled: "I can't wait for the laity, I'm old, so naturally I can do one less thing, and I will be satisfied if I have an inn." ”

"It's inevitable to be enviable!"

"Haha, it's just a half-idle steal, there's nothing to envy. On the contrary, I look at the appearance of the guests, which should be enviable. ”

The conversation between the two seems to be a greeting between strangers, and it seems to be the blandness of reuniting old friends, and neither side has a gorgeous rhetorical compliment, but it is so appropriate to fall into the ears.

"What do you call the store?"

"The old man's surname is Han."

"Healer?"

"Exactly."

"It's not much different from an old acquaintance of mine from the past, that person is also surnamed Han, and he is known as a medical saint." Fu Nianzhi's words were still plain, still the same, and he still kept smiling when communicating with Han Zhongjing.

Han Zhongjing shook his head: "It's not comparable, that's the height that people like us who study medicine dream of." The name of a saint is rare in the world! ”

Hearing this, Fu Nianzhi also smiled: "Although I am not profound in the method of contemplating appearances, I also know a little bit about it. The shopkeeper is magnificent, and the medical skills are also extraordinary. Even if it is to rescue the dying person, it should not be difficult. ”

Han Zhongjing waved his hand: "Guest, it's a false praise." Even if it can be saved, most of them are dead before the time of death. If Hades asks for his life, even if I wait for a healer, it will be difficult to save him. ”

Han Zhongjing's words were answered quickly and appropriately, and Fu Nianzhi smiled faintly and stopped asking. Although there were not too many words between the two, the question in Fu Nian's heart had been answered at this moment. He took a sip from his teacup and smiled, this time as a compliment, but not the tea.

"The people in Xuanji Mountain are very good!"

Han Zhongjing shook his head and asked, "Xuanji Mountain? Where is that? ”

Fu Nianzhi raised his eyes and looked at Han Zhongjing, and saw that the other party's eyes were foggy, as if he had drunk too much. But the gag could not hide from him, but seeing this, he understood the reason better, so he also replied: "A good mountain, you can go and see it when the store is free." ”

Han Zhongjing smiled: "It must be so!" ”

At this point in the conversation, both fell into a brief silence. The original unusual atmosphere has now dissipated. Shi Yu stared at the two of them curiously, until now she didn't understand the reason why the other party came here late at night, and the two cups of bitter tea should not be so attractive.

After a while, the tea in the cups of the two bottomed out, and the man in red chuckled, as if he was planning to leave.

"Two cups of tea can be cashiered?"

"Haha, I'm happy tonight, so why not give it to the guests."

"Thank you then."

Fu Nian's arch hand, Song Wan also followed the bow, the rivers and lakes are not like temples, and the ceremony is also different.

Shi Yu has been sitting beside the master since he finished serving the tea, looking at the two of them, and did not speak. Listening to the conversation between the master and the strange guest, Shi Yu felt that they were like old friends, but they were so strange that she couldn't understand them.

Among the two, only the man in red kept talking to the master, and the woman in black beside him didn't say a word from beginning to end, Shi Yu sometimes made eye contact with her, and the other party smiled slightly, without malice.

The moonlight is bright tonight, and in Shi Yu's eyes, there are two more people worth remembering under the moonlight, and there are also two more strange people, or maybe three, because the master is also very strange tonight.

Another thing that made Shi Yu feel strange was why such a bitter tea turned into good tea in the other party's mouth, she saw that the two of them drank calmly, and once really thought it was good tea, but the tea was brewed by her, and she knew the bitterness very well. It was used by the master to entertain strange guests, and the purpose was obvious, to send guests.

From the moment the two of them entered the door, Shi Yu sensed that something was wrong, so she also knew the tea for the reception. But the master didn't seem to care about the two of them, and had a good conversation with them, which made Shi Yu wonder if she shouldn't make that kind of tea. At this point, the strange thoughts in her heart were answered from the master's mouth.

"Master, I brought them tea for your special guests, am I mistaken?" After the person walked away, Shi Yu closed the door and asked the master.

Han Zhongjing smiled: "It's okay. Although the other party is not here to find fault, but it is not wrong to use that tea, master, I want to have anything to do with them, and it is best to send it away and send it away. ”

"Master, is that man in red also the person in the Heavenly Prison Division you said?"

Han Zhongjing nodded: "One of the five red-clothed Great Heavenly Divisions of the Heavenly Supervisor, named Fu Nianzhi. I originally thought that this imperial court's operation was only dispatched to Xiao Tiansi, after all, it already represented an extremely high level of action. But I never expected this old guy to come in person, it seems that the Su family or the rest of the family, and even that kid have something that the court desperately wants. ”

After listening to the master's words, Shi Yu exclaimed, "Aren't Sister Su and Brother Shen very dangerous?" ”

"I've been chasing for twenty years, and as long as the court doesn't act on a large scale for a while, the two of them will be fine. It's ......."

Thinking of this, Han Zhongjing's mind slowly drifted away, when he knew Shen Jing's identity before, he once thought that he had seen through some of the reasons for what happened back then. But after seeing Fu Nianzhi today, he suddenly realized that the original views were too superficial, and things might be far more complicated than he imagined.
