Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Night Kingdom
Bai Yimeng walked on the bustling streets of the capital with green silk and green eyebrows, walking slowly, slowly looking at the scenery on the street, and feeling the various states of the world.
This is the first time that Bai Yimeng has been in the Night Country for so long, and he has taken the initiative to go out shopping without the leadership of Fu Yun.
Bai Yimeng didn't buy anything, so he took the green silk and green eyebrows to eat a meal at the best restaurant in Beijing, and then walked aimlessly down the street.
"It's all said, I can't give you medicine without money, why are you still here!"
"Doctor, please, do well, give me another pair of medicine! I promise, I'll scrape together enough money to pay you back soon. ”
Bai Yimeng, who was walking on the road, heard a sound coming from ahead, so he stopped and looked ahead.
In front of me is a middle-aged man and a middle-aged woman talking.
The middle-aged man stood in front of the store and impatiently chased the middle-aged woman, while the woman knelt on the ground and begged the middle-aged man.
"Where do you get the money from? As long as you settle all the previous accounts, I will immediately catch the medicine for you. ”
"Doctor, please, my husband is still waiting for this medicine to save his life! You can't live without this medicine! The lady kowtowed and tugged at the corner of the doctor's coat.
The doctor tugged at the hem of his clothes, pulled them out of his wife's hand, and said, "This is a medical hall, not a good hall, if everyone is like you, I won't be able to do business!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the store.
There were also some people standing there watching, but none of them stepped forward, and when they saw the doctor enter the shop, everyone watched for a while, and then dispersed.
Bai Yimeng turned his head to look at Qingsi and green eyebrows, and then Qingsi stepped forward, touched the money bag on his waist, and handed it to Bai Yimeng, Bai Yimeng walked to the woman and squatted down, and asked softly, "How much do you owe them?" ”
When the woman raised her head when she heard this, she was stunned when she saw Bai Yimeng, who was dressed in white and wearing a white cloak, and then said, "Five taels of silver." ”
When Bai Yimeng heard this, he reached out and took out ten taels of silver from the money bag and gave it to her: "Take it!" ”
The woman didn't expect Bai Yimeng to give her silver, and her eyes were shocked.
It took a moment to react, took the silver with both hands, kowtowed again and again, and after a while, his forehead was red.
While kowtowing, he said, "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
Bai Yimeng stretched out his hand to help her up, looked at the pharmacy, and said, "Go quickly!" ”
"Thank you, thank you, you are really a living bodhisattva, thank you."
The woman choked up and thanked her, quickly got up, stood up and bowed to Bai Yimeng a few more times, before wiping her face with tears and walking into the pharmacy.
Bai Yimeng watched her walk into the pharmacy before she slowly stood up and stood at the door of the pharmacy, looking at the pharmacy.
When the woman raised her head when she heard Bai Yimeng's voice, Bai Yimeng saw the despair in her eyes.
Just after the woman took the silver, Bai Yimeng saw the hope and joy in the woman's eyes again.
It's like walking alone in the darkness, slowly, slowly beginning to despair, so desperate that you are about to give up, suddenly see a light in front of you, and the original desperate heart rises with a glimmer of hope.
That kind of despair, Bai Yimeng has experienced it, and he understands that feeling better.
So when she saw the woman, Bai Yimeng wanted to help her.
The woman entered the pharmacy, and when the people inside saw her, they said impatiently, "Why did you come in again, I said, you can't get medicine if you don't have money." ”
"Rich, rich, I'm rich, you see, I'm really rich."
The woman hurriedly held the money in front of their eyes so that they could see that she really had money.
The men looked at her palm, where two pieces of silver were lying there, looked at her in disbelief and said, "Where did you get the money?" It's not going to steal it, it's going to rob it! If you want to steal and rob, we don't dare to take your money, and we can't catch the medicine for you. ”
"No, no, it's not stealing, it's not robbing, it's someone else gave it to me, just now, just outside the door, a girl gave it to me." The woman quickly shook her head and waved her hand, pointing out the door as she spoke.
The men gave her a suspicious look, and one of them walked to the door and looked over.
Not far from the right of the door, there were three girls, among whom the girl who was standing at the front and dressed in white saw him look over, and nodded with a smile, and the head suddenly shrank back.
Then he walked up to the doctor and said, "There are really three girls standing there outside." ”
The doctor also went out the door and saw three people as well.
Bai Yimeng heard the conversation inside, and naturally knew why the doctor came out, and nodded with a smile at the doctor.
Then the doctor went back, took the money from the woman's hand, settled the old account, grabbed a few more pills for her, and returned the rest of the money, and the woman thanked her again and again before she went out.
As soon as he went out, he went to find Bai Yimeng and the three of them, but he just looked around, and he didn't see the three of them again, and then bowed three more times to the place where Bai Yimeng was standing before leaving, and hurriedly ran home with the medicine.
Bai Yimeng and his party continued to wander the street and saw a pastry shop.
Green Mei said that the pastries in this shop were delicious, Bai Yimeng walked in with them, and after a while, the three of them walked out of the door with several bags of snacks.
A few people walked around for a while, bought some things, and began to walk back, picking a road that was not so many people, but closer to the Golden Garden.
After walking for a while, Green Eyebrow was stumbled from behind, almost hitting Bai Yimeng, Bai Yimeng reacted quickly, and supported Green Eyebrow with his backhand, only to see a figure flash quickly, and the bag of things that Green Eyebrow was carrying in his hand was snatched away.
Green Eyebrow quickly reacted, threw the rest to Qingsi, and chased after her.
Bai Yimeng took the thing that Green Mei had just thrown to Qingsi, held it in his hand, and chased after him, and the three of them ran after the figure for a while, and then came to a place.
It was a dilapidated room, and the three of them had just reached the door when a smell wafted in, mixed with musty and rotten smells and some indescribable smells.
The three of them frowned, raised their hands and lightly covered their noses, Bai Yimeng walked into the room with a step, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw several ragged people huddled together, including old people and children, and they all looked at the people tremblingly.
One of the children, about ten years old, was still holding something he had snatched from Green Eyebrow and looked at them fixedly.
Bai Yimeng looked at them, a little unbearable, didn't speak, then turned around and went out, and asked Qingsi to put a bag of food at the door, and then turned to leave.
Seeing Bai Yimeng turn around and leave, the few people huddled together breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw a woman walking to the door, and before she could finish her breath, she lifted it up again.
Looking at the door, I saw that the girl had put down a bag of things and left, without looking at them during the process.
When they heard the footsteps getting farther and farther away, and gradually lost their ears, a few people slowly walked towards the door, looked at the door for a while, and made sure that there was no one, and then looked down at the things on the ground.
The eldest picked it up, opened it and saw that it was another packet to eat, smiled, took a piece and ate it, felt that it tasted good, and handed the rest to the others.
"Madam, why don't you chase back the lost things and leave them another bag of food?" On the way back, Green Mei was a little puzzled and asked Bai Yimeng.
"They're just poor people!" Bai Yimeng looked at the road and said leisurely.
"But you can't rob it so blatantly! At the foot of the imperial city, there are still such bold people who dare to rob in the street, and it is the officials and nobles who rob them. ”
"The nobles even dare to kill people, what is wrong with them just grabbing something and not killing people?" Bai Yimeng said disappreciatively.
Hearing this, Qingsi and Green Eyebrows were silent.
Yes, in the eyes of the aristocracy, the lives of ordinary people are not lives at all, and they will not take ordinary people in their eyes at all, they only care about their own rights, status, and financial interests.
When midsummer comes, the lotus flowers in the lotus pond of Jinyuan also bloom, which really responds to the sentence: the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red.
The Golden Garden Lotus Pond in summer is also a sight.
Bai Yimeng took people to sit in the pavilion on the shore of the lotus pond to enjoy the scenery, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, he couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, so he ordered people to prepare a small boat and shuttle through the lotus pond in a small boat.
Between the lotus leaves, the boat rowed through the water, the boat walked in front, and the water marks and paths that were rowed were soon covered by lotus leaves that covered the sky and the sun.
Bai Yimeng frolicked in the water with green silk and green eyebrows, and also picked the lotus leaf, holding the petiole in one hand, and propping the lotus leaf on the top of his head to cover the sun.
Everyone got tired of playing before they went ashore, and after the green silk and green eyebrows helped Bai Yimeng get off the boat, he returned to the pavilion with a smile and a smile, rested for a while, and saw that it was getting late, before getting up and going back to the yard.
As soon as she stood up, Bai Yimeng felt dizzy for a while, and when she saw this, she immediately helped Bai Yimeng, thinking that she was suffering from heat stroke after being exposed to the sun for a long time.
helped Bai Yimeng to sit down and rest, but before he could sit down, Bai Yimeng fainted, which frightened Qingsi and Green Eyebrows, and the two hurriedly checked Bai Yimeng's situation while ordering someone to invite the doctor and Fu Yun.
Qingsi and green eyebrows checked it, and still helped Bai Yimeng back to the room first.
When Fu Yun came back, the doctor had not yet arrived, he was still in the military department to handle military affairs, and when he received the reply from the people in the palace, he left the military affairs without saying a word and hurried back.
He hurriedly walked into the room, and saw Bai Yimeng lying on the bed with a pale face, Fu Yun's heart suddenly missed a beat, and he slowly walked closer, the more he walked, the more he felt like he was being pinched hard, the more scared he became, and his mind was blank.
