Chapter 263: To save or not to save
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passes, it seems that it is the end of autumn, and the footsteps of winter are faintly visible. []
In the evening, He Xiaoqiao asked people to get the grill out and put it in the yard, and seven or eight stoves were fired together. In addition to a variety of seasonal vegetables, steaks, and meatballs, there is also a strong grilled gluten. Pinch it into long strips, cut it into slices and skewer it on a bamboo skewer, sprinkle it with cumin and chili powder, and take a bite when it is baked.
The courtyard was full of people, the aroma of food wafted in the wind, and a large group of people gathered around to drink wine and eat meat, and celebrated.
For the sake of the child's health, He Xiaoqiao sat upwind, far away from the grills, drinking honey lemon tea soaked in warm water, while waiting for Jiang Fenghao to get her back food.
Yinhua sat not far from her, also with a huge belly, she was pregnant more than half a month earlier than He Xiaoqiao, calculating the time, she would almost give birth in ten days.
Hong Fangzheng waited nervously next to her, clumsily picking out the fish bones from the grilled fish fillet with chopsticks.
Yinhua stroked her stomach and pointed out a few words from time to time, looked at him with good eyes, and smiled extremely happily.
He Xiaoqiao couldn't help but sigh, this guy Hong Fang is really a fool and a fool, look at the daughter-in-law he picked for himself, not only can he endure his impulsiveness and make two stupid mistakes from time to time, but he can also look at his bear face every day and never get tired of it - this cliff is true love.
"What are you thinking?" Jiang Fenghao sat down beside her with a few plates in his hand, and put the leeks, pumpkin pie and two skewers of baked gluten that she had named to eat in front of her, "Freshly baked, be careful of scalding." ”
He Xiaoqiao reached out and touched his belly, leaned his head on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "I'm wondering, what do our two children look like, are they more like you or more like me?" ”
Jiang Fenghao put one hand on her waist, touched her round belly with the other, and thought about it very seriously when he heard this, "Who does the lady want them to look like?" ”
He Xiaoqiao glanced at him, "Nonsense, of course it's like you!" "Although I am very unwilling, no matter whether I give birth to a boy or a girl, I will only be popular if I look as good as Jiang Fenghao.
How pleasing to the eye are for handsome men and women!
Jiang Fenghao laughed and followed her words, "If one is like a husband and the other is like a lady, isn't that just right?" "Anyway, it's twins, and it's not an exaggeration to divide one person and one person in appearance.
He Xiaoqiao also thinks that this is indeed fair, but think about it carefully...... The child who looks like her, compared to his brother, seems to have suffered a little?
Holding a skewer of leeks in her hand and sending it to her mouth, He Xiaoqiao struggled for a long time, and finally decided - she didn't want to!
Anyway, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and this kind of thing is waiting for the children to be born, so let them worry about it. If it can't be solved...... Don't tell people that it's her baby, she can't afford to lose that person.
Thinking about it with confidence, I immediately felt that my mood was smooth, and my appetite was much better.
The carnival lasted until the early hours of the morning, Yinhua had already asked Hong Fang to send it back, and He Xiaoqiao couldn't stay up and leaned on Jiang Fenghao and slept in the dark.
The people who had eaten and drunk enough went back to stick to their posts, and Cailian and several other cooks were so tired that their hands were shaking, and they didn't care about the smell of smoke, so they went back to the room and fell asleep.
The rest of the white head and several other guards were in place to deal with the aftermath.
Sending He Xiaoqiao back to the room, Jiang Fenghao skillfully removed her shoes and socks, and then sent the person back to the bed and pulled the quilt to cover it.
He Xiaoqiao muttered unconsciously twice, arched like a puppy, and shrank his head into the bed.
Jiang Fenghao couldn't help but smile.
Leaned over and kissed her on the forehead, moved the candle on the table out of the screen, glanced back at her, opened the door and walked out.
As soon as I went out, I saw a few black shadows flashing outside the courtyard, and nearly a dozen or so people were surrounded and hidden in the darkness in all directions, silently taking care of the entire courtyard.
Jiang Fenghao raised his eyebrows, but he didn't say anything, turned around and raised his feet and left directly.
On the way, he met Hong Fang, who was rushing over after sending his daughter-in-law home, and immediately kicked him unceremoniously, signaling him to pack up and go back to his duties loyally, otherwise he would not want to get half a salary from him at the end of the month.
Hong Fang smiled, covered his buttocks and obediently went towards Fengzhu Yayuan.
Ying Tong sent the lantern over, but Jiang Fenghao didn't let him follow, he carried the lantern and turned around several corners, and finally stopped in front of a hidden courtyard with a bad smell of medicine.
He didn't even bother to knock on the door, so he jumped over the wall and climbed straight over the wall.
There are nearly a dozen simple triangular wooden shelves in the courtyard, stacked one on top of the other, and the layers are all flat round baskets, and the things in them are black, smelling like boiled herbs, and rustling in the partial, sounding like countless silkworms gnawing on mulberry leaves.
"Who's out there?" A little boy who was also carrying a lantern stepped forward, and when he got closer, he realized that it was Jiang Fenghao, and hurriedly saluted, "See the prince!" ”
"Excuse me." Jiang Fenghao waved his hand indifferently, raised his feet and walked into the house, "What about the stinky old man?" ”
"The master is dispensing medicine in the side room."
Jiang Fenghao paused, and immediately turned a corner and walked to the right.
The ghost doctor was squatting on his back in the middle of a pile of sun-dried herbs, holding a medicine bowl in his hand and pounding it, and from time to time he poured some aged rice wine into the wine jar next to him, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Seeing Jiang Fenghao enter the door, he raised his head and snorted, looking impatient as if he didn't want to see him, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Are you willing to come to you?" Jiang Fenghao rolled his eyes angrily, and found a bench to sit down, "Several people died in the mansion a few days ago, don't you know?" ”
The ghost doctor wiped his skinny hand on the cotton cloth placed next to him, and didn't lift his eyelids when he heard the words, "Is it my business that someone died in your house?" "He didn't kill him.
"Of course it's up to you." Jiang Fenghao leaned back against the wall gracefully, and raised Erlang's legs in a messy manner, raising one big foot and dangling in the air, "As far as I know, they all died because of you...... Don't you say anything about the stinky old man? ”
"It's a fart!" The ghost doctor blew his beard and roared, grabbed the medicine pestle and threw it at him, "You stinky boy, it's just that I can't go back for more than half a year, and now you're still coming to slander me again?" "When he doesn't ask about the world, he's easy to bully, isn't he?
Jiang Fenghao dodged the sneak attack with his head sideways, stretched his hand back and hooked the medicine pestle back, turned around his fingertips to unload the force, and then threw it into the pile of herbs next to him, with an extraordinarily flat smile on his face, "Tsk, old man, I see that your liver is very hot, remember to gnaw more honeysuckle to go to the fire." "When you're old, you're still so angry, and when you get Alzheimer's in your heart, you can't take care of yourself, and it's miserable.
This bastard ......!
The ghost doctor's two eyebrows were almost twisted together, almost making him vomit blood for his ruthlessness, unrighteousness and unreasonableness, "What the hell are you here for?" If you have something to say, let it go quickly, and if you have nothing to do, get out of here quickly, and don't hang around here! "I was upset when I saw it.
Having said that, he gave the medicine bowl to the boy who was about to enter the door, and motioned for him to take it outside, while he found a random place to sit on the ground, and looked at it to the rhythm of a long conversation.
Ignoring the 'Lao Tzu is annoying you to get out of here' on his face, Jiang Fenghao tried his best to hold back a smile, cleared his throat and said, "According to the information I received, that group of people should have been looking for you for a long time." A few days ago, I guess I determined your whereabouts, so I opened the knife to the people in the house, wanting to test my reaction. ”
"Childish!" The ghost doctor snorted and stroked his beard, but his face was not surprised at all.
Lu Ziqi, who was easy to become a Huyan Suxin, had already mentioned this matter to him when he came to the mansion, and he also knew that there were people looking for him in the north and south of the country, but he didn't expect that those people were still Jiang Fenghao's sworn enemies. I didn't expect them to use such childish means to force him to show up - just get a few people in the palace to kill him and try to lure him to the rescue?
Tsk, does he look like he has a compassionate heart that will benefit all sentient beings?
Besides, please have a long brain, okay? Although others praise him for his ability to live the dead, flesh and bones, but you cut people's throats and let the corpses cool, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he can't be saved - he is a medical skill, not Maoshan Taoism, can he go to the underworld to rob people from Lord Yama?
He was very suspicious of the intelligence of the mastermind behind the scenes, of course, if it was just a trick to deceive people, and there was a major conspiracy behind it.
Jiang Fenghao couldn't help but cry and laugh when he first heard this, although he was very protective of his shortcomings, but he would not be stupid enough to throw away watermelons to pick up sesame seeds-he would naturally take revenge on those few people who were killed, but it was definitely not based on using the elder of the ghost doctor as bait.
"I wonder why they have to look for you?" Jiang Fenghao rubbed his chin with his hand, raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and said in a joking tone, "Could it be that one of them is extremely important and sick, and his illness happens to be cured by no one other than you?" ”
"How do I know? I'm not a fortune teller!" The ghost doctor waved his hand impatiently and said angrily, "Who on their side let the king of Hades take a fancy to hook me back to the underworld to shut up my?" ”
"Then if I say, I know who that patient is......" Jiang Fenghao took a sun-dried wheat straw in his mouth and bit it, squinting his eyes and smiling evilly, "Are you interested in taking a look at him?" ”
When the ghost doctor heard this, he looked at him strangely, "What? You kid still play with people and cherish each other? But don't forget, they almost lost your daughter-in-law, children and children! "With such a deep hatred, he can actually endure it.
Jiang Fenghao lowered his eyes and covered up the ruthlessness that flashed inside, "Although he is suspected of knowingly committing a crime and not reporting it, he is not the one who did it." ”
"You're saying that the murderer is someone else?" The ghost doctor quickly cleared his mind, "And that murderer happens to be very concerned about people who are seriously ill?" ”
"I said, old man, your brain is spinning pretty fast." Jiang Fenghao laughed and praised, "It's not like a person who burps at all." ”
The ghost doctor's eyes widened, his thin and dry face twitched, and he lowered his head to take off his shoes.
Afraid that he would really smash the pair of shoes that he didn't change all year round into his face, Jiang Fenghao hurriedly raised his hand and surrendered, "Okay, okay, can't I say the wrong thing?" Let's get down to business – are you going, or are you not? ”
"Think about it, do you really want to save that person?" The ghost doctor turned his eyes on him.
"Of course." Jiang Fenghao raised his arms and stretched his waist, with a smug smile on his face, "Because he is alive, it is more useful than dead." ”
The ghost doctor is actually a little excited, after all, as a medical maniac, there is nothing more exciting than discovering an incurable disease, "What if after seeing it, even I can't cure it?" ”
"Then try to hang his life as much as possible," Jiang Fenghao shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly, "Anyway, I don't plan to let him live a hundred years long, as long as he doesn't die so quickly." ”
All he wants is a balance, and an illusion of 'hope' for those who dare to step on his bottom line.
The more delusional things you get, the more you lose, don't you?
"In that case, find a chance for me to see." Leaving this sentence behind, the ghost doctor returned to his work.
Jiang Fenghao smiled, didn't say anything more, and got up to leave. ()
