Chapter 90: Investigation of the cause of death
Seeing the old woman crying, everyone didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, even if the old woman controlled her emotions, she quickly calmed down.
"Let a few of you see the joke."
After finishing speaking, the old woman turned to look at Liu Ziyan to herself, "Yan'er, go and ask your mother to prepare some food." ”
Liu Ziyan hadn't taken two steps before Jin Xinyuan hurriedly grabbed him.
"Grandma don't bother, we'll have to leave after a while."
The old woman shook her head, "Jin Gongzi is a distinguished guest of our family, and now he has come from afar, if he doesn't eat a meal and then leaves, wouldn't it be rude." ”
Liu Ziyan also turned around and bowed to Jin Xinyuan, "Master Jin, what grandma said is very true, please don't shirk again." ”
"Then it's better to be respectful, thank you."
The old woman didn't speak, just looked Jin Xinyuan up and down, her eyes were kind but there was an indescribable feeling.
Jin Xinyuan was a little uncomfortable stared at by the old woman, and smiled softly, "Grandma, what are you doing all the time watching me?" ”
As soon as Jin Xinyuan said this, the old woman hurriedly looked away.
"I think Jin Gongzi is the same age as my family's Yan'er, but he is much more stable than my family's Yan'er."
Jin Xinyuan was slightly stunned at first, and then a smug smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "It's just that I've experienced some more things." ”
"I'm so miserable, my father is such a bastard, but the big one can only stay here with us."
The old woman sighed helplessly, her eyes full of grievances.
Hearing this, Tong Xiang asked without thinking: "Grandma, Yan'er is the son of the second son?" ”
At first glance, this Liu Ziyan is knowledgeable and gentle as jade, Tong Xiang never imagined that such a good child would be taught by Liu Ergongzi, who was addicted to the gambling table.
The old woman nodded solemnly, and then squinted at Tong Xiang, "The old man has never heard of a young lady in Rendetang, dare to ask the girl?" ”
"I'm just Jin Gongzi's business partner, Tong Xiang."
Tong Xiang finished introducing himself, and then pointed to Chu Xiao beside him, "This is my brother Chu Xiao." ”
After finishing speaking, Tong Xiang turned to look at Jin Xinyuan and found that his expression was very solemn.
Jin Xinyue on the side was wearing a veil, but she couldn't see her expression, but there was a faint sadness in her watery eyes.
Jin Xinyuan didn't take the initiative to introduce Jin Xinyue's identity, the old woman glanced at them, immediately took her eyes back, and kept silent.
During the meal, the Jin family brothers and sisters have always been absent-minded, and Tong Xiang can only stubbornly deal with the old woman.
"Grandma, I don't think your two sons seem to be practicing medicine, is Dr. Liu's craftsmanship so lost?"
Traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to inheritance, although Tong Xiang does not know Dr. Liu very well, but through the usual rumors, he can also know that this person is very powerful.
The old woman chuckled, "My two sons are not interested in any of this, so I didn't force them to learn." ”
After finishing speaking, the old woman took Liu Ziyan's hand affectionately, "But my grandson has been smart since he was a child, and he has been studying medicine. ”
Tong Xiang nodded, but soon felt that something was not right.
"You live in this place, how to practice that Ziyan, just by reading books, this is not enough."
Tong Xiang can't deny that Liu Ziyan may really be familiar with medical books, but if he doesn't do it, how can he become a generation of grandmasters.
The smile on the old woman's face gradually froze, "You can also see it, now that our family lives here, I don't feel at ease when I let him out alone." ”
Hearing the old woman mention this, Tong Xiang finally had the opportunity to ask the doubts in his heart.
"Since you want the second son to cultivate himself, why is the family here, and the family is isolated here, how can I make money to support the family?"
The old woman obviously hesitated for a moment when she heard this, and then smiled awkwardly, "We'll just stay for a while and go back, not often." ”
Seeing that the old woman was deliberately hiding some things, Tong Xiang naturally didn't ask any more questions, and quickly changed the topic.
"Mother-in-law, if you don't dislike it, when Ziyan has time, you might as well go to my medicine hall."
The old woman did not agree directly, but looked at Jin Xinyuan.
After all, Dr. Liu has worked in Rendetang all his life, and now in front of the Jin family, he has agreed to others, which is not in line with the rules.
Jin Xinyuan, who was casually pulling the food, felt the old woman's gaze, and a wry smile squeezed out of the corner of his mouth.
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
Chu Xiao sat beside him and laughed softly, "Tong Xiang is going to dig your corner in front of you."
While speaking, Chu Xiao looked in Liu Ziyan's direction with a smile.
Jin Xinyuan didn't react at first, but soon he realized what Chu Xiao meant, and his emotions instantly soared.
"Tong Xiang, you can't rob me of people."
Tong Xiang stared at Jin Xinyuan with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were full of disdain, "Master Jin, don't forget, now we are in a cooperative relationship." ”
was reminded by Tong Xiang like this, Jin Xinyuan realized that he was now under the fence, how could he still have the ability to care about Liu Ziyan.
In the end, he could only sigh helplessly, "That's fine, following you is equivalent to following me anyway, but you can't treat other people's children badly." ”
The meal seemed to be a little cheerful because of this little episode, and Tong Xiang turned to Liu Ziyan.
"When you have time, you can go to the city and look for us."
After eating a meal, Tong Xiang and the others did not stay, and left in a hurry after eating.
Through the overlapping bushes, Tong Xiang and the others finally returned to the carriage.
Without waiting for Tong Xiang to speak, Jin Xinyuan asked directly: "Are we just leaving?" ”
After all, it was not easy to come here, and they almost didn't get any useful information this time, so Jin Xinyuan was naturally a little unwilling.
Tong Xiang was full of heaviness, and said unhurriedly: "It's good to know where they are, find a time to take a look at Dr. Liu's body, what should be found." ”
Xiaoqin was shocked when she heard this, "Doctor Tong, aren't you afraid?" ”
Tong Xiang smiled softly, "Don't be afraid, as a doctor, I have long looked down on the life, old age, sickness and death of patients." ”
Xiaoqin showed an admiring gaze, "Doctor Tong, you are so amazing." ”
Seeing that Jin Xinyue was still silent, Tong Xiang couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Miss Xiaoyue, I saw you depressed along the way, did the food just now not fit your mouth?"
As she spoke, she took out some pastries from her pocket and handed them to Jin Xinyue.
"I've got some dry food here, you can't go hungry."
Jin Xinyue didn't expect Tong Xiang to talk to him, so he raised his head suddenly, his eyes slightly flustered.
She pushed Tong Xiang's hand back and shook her head, "Thank you Doctor Tong, I'm not hungry." ”
"Miss Xiaoyue, no matter what happens, you can't keep it in your heart, it's not good for your health."
Jin Xinyue nodded and didn't say anything more.
In order to ensure the safety of Jin Xinyue's sister and brother, Tong Xiang and the others went back to the inn first.
If they directly told Dr. Liu's family that they wanted to examine the body, they would definitely not agree, so they could only do it secretly.
And the road in the mountains is not easy to walk, and Chu Xiao is not proficient in medical skills, so this time Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao need to cooperate.
It was getting dark, and Tong Xiang and Chu Xiao put on a light pair and went out.
Before leaving, they repeatedly told Jin Xinyuan not to cause trouble, after all, they didn't know martial arts, and if something really happened, they wouldn't be able to explain it to Rendetang.
Jin Xinyuan patted his chest confidently, "You can rest assured, this young master can bend and stretch." ”
Dr. Liu's home is halfway up the mountain, and the mountain road is rugged, no matter how good Rao is Chu Xiao's light work, it can't be unimpeded.
It was getting dark, and when I looked up, I could faintly see through the overlapping gaps in the leaves.
"Dr. Liu's second son's list is too big, in this environment where he can't see his five fingers, he dares to secretly go down the mountain by himself."
Through her feelings at Dr. Liu's house today, she really can't understand why such a person appears in a good family.
Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then sighed helplessly, "People are originally good at the beginning, if they learn badly halfway, it is not impossible." ”
Chu Xiao's words inspired Tong Xiang, "Do you think someone deliberately set it off?" ”
When they were in the gambling house before, the shopkeeper said that Liu Ergongzi had disappeared for a while, and it happened that during that time, he could correspond to the time when Dr. Liu studied the white flowers.
Listening to Tong Xiang's words, Chu Xiao's expression also became serious, "What you said is not unreasonable, it's just that this person has set this trap for?" ”
This question really asked Tong Xiang, if someone really wants to make huge profits from this, then this is definitely not the best marketing method.
And in such a trouble, everyone knows the harm of white flowers, so naturally they dare not eat them again.
Just as Tong Xiang was entangled, a desolate wolf howl came from the depths of the jungle.
Chu Xiao subconsciously protected Tong Xiang, "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”
Tong Xiang raised her head and saw that Chu Xiao was staring vigilantly at her surroundings, and she couldn't help laughing.
"What are you laughing at?"
Chu Xiao lowered his head and asked in a low voice.
Tong Xiang pushed Chu Xiao away and looked at him face to face, "I'm not afraid of these things, have you forgotten that when I saw you in the woods, I killed a wolf." ”
Chu Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then pulled Tong Xiang into his arms, "Then this time I will protect you." ”
Feeling the temperature of Chu Xiao's chest, Tong Xiang felt that his heart immediately settled down, and it turned out that the feeling of being protected was like this.
Tong Xiang coughed twice in embarrassment, "That girl will give you a chance to return my favor." ”
Chu Xiao pinned his face elsewhere, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a faint smile.
