Explore the Medicine Garden
It's just that even Xiao Fengping, who had just come out of the new house, didn't notice that in the diagonal alley of his mansion, two people were looking at their door.
"In the middle of the night, I'll let you know, don't get separated, that woman is very generous, we can use it for a long time."
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Fengping had already left the city and galloped away along the road in the night.
With her body and internal strength, the distance of more than thirty kilometers was enough to exhaust her, but for him, it was not a problem at all.
Most merchants and tourists go to bed at night, and the road is very quiet, with only a few bugs chirping.
Xiao Fengping looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart jumped.
"The two of them haven't come back for so long, will there be any problems outside?" Xiao Fengping muttered to himself, he remembered what had happened during this time.
A mysterious and mysterious Tan Tianxiong made the people of Luoyang City dare not leave at night, even the legendary Li Changan made him a little jealous.
But Xiao Fengping then shook his head with a smile, secretly saying that he was really worried.
Li Changan said that the person they were looking for was the person who was arrested, and he had no contact with civilians.
So Xiao Fengping walked all the way, the speed exceeded his expectations, and soon found a teahouse on the side of the road that had long been closed.
"Right here, the young lady said, three miles west of the road, you can get there." Xiao Fengping's eyes lit up, and when he saw a small fork, he immediately understood that he was going to the medicine garden.
So, he turned a corner, and soon, a faint smell of medicine came to his nose.
This medicinal fragrance smells very good, like a lotus flower, refreshing people's hearts and spleens, making people feel refreshed and happy.
But Xiao Fengping's expression moved suddenly.
Xiao Fengping's heart skipped a beat, "Is this the scent of lotus vanilla?" ”
This is a very common heat-clearing and detoxifying herb, and in the Xiao family's pharmacy, you can buy a lot of it in a day.
However, when it emits a fragrance, it represents its maturity, and its medicinal properties must be absorbed as soon as possible.
But when he walked into the medicine garden, he saw almost all the lotus herbs, and Xiao Fengping suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Not to mention his late child, even the old man has been here for three days, and he can't wait to pay off his debts, how can he let this lotus herb continue to consume?
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Fengping had a bad premonition, and he suddenly became much more vigilant.
He slowed down and walked slowly towards a desolate mud building in the center of the medicine garden.
In the hazy moonlight, the cottage looked dim.
The people in the room seemed to be sleeping, and there was no light at all.
At this moment, the tip of Xiao Fengping's nose twitched, and his eyes widened suddenly
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he smelled a thick smell of blood.
His family members are all alchemists, and they often come here, and he knows the fragrance very well.
Xiao Fengping immediately looked around, only to see in the courtyard next to the thatched house.
The donkey was dead, and the bright red blood had been flowing on the ground for a long time, and it had long since turned black, and the blood clots under the skin had almost been cut off.
However, Xiao Fengping's eyes flashed with a cold light.
"It's a mule!"
Xiao Fengping remembered that his grandson told him that three days ago, his grandfather rode a donkey and rushed over, but now, his most precious donkey was slaughtered, and there must be something wrong with it.
Xiao Fengping also noticed that in the corner, there were many corpses of wild beasts, emitting a foul smell, and he noticed that it was a bull's head.
"What does it smell like?"
Xiao Fengping clenched his hands tightly, holding the hilt of the sword that had not yet been drawn, and hesitated towards the mud room.
But eventually, he knocked on the door.
No one answered.
Only the chill of the night, blowing through his back.
Xiao Fengping couldn't bear it anymore, and knocked on the door twice.
He stood quietly in the doorway, and after a long time he heard a rustling sound.
"Who" the man said with some trepidation.
Xiao Fengping frowned slightly, and from the other party's tone, he could feel that the other party was not a practitioner.
"Hurry up and open the door, Lao Tzu Xiao's family, come and ask for fifty-five taels"
Xiao Fengping shouted in the room.
Squeak –
After a while, the wooden door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man's head emerged from inside.
His face was a little sallow, and his eyes were covered with fine red marks.
He looked at Xiao Fengping with a frightened expression, trembling all over, blinking his eyes, as if he was talking.
It's not like a debtor.
When Xiao Fengping saw this scene, his heart jumped, and before he could speak, he heard this person hurriedly speak: "Qian, I have been well in the past two days, and I will come to the door to repay the money, please tell Young Master Xiao to let him calm down and delay for a few more days." ”
In the end, the man stuttered a little at first, but in the end, his speed increased suddenly, and his face was panicked, and the door that had not yet been fully opened was even more eager to close immediately.
Click.
Xiao Fengping stretched out his hand and pressed on the door.
"What kind of temper are you, I only escaped a few days ago, if you don't return my money, I won't give your daughter face"
Xiao Fengping scolded as hard as he could, and said in the most vicious and disdainful tone.
However, as he gripped the door, his eyes quickly surveyed the room.
However, due to the viewing angle, he did not notice anything abnormal.
The room was chaotic and pitch black.
But at this moment, an even stronger blood qi poured into Xiao Fengping's nose from the room.
But this time, Xiao Fengping recognized it at a glance, it was a kind of human blood, because he had seen many injured people in the medical hall.
And after hearing his name, this person's face was also tangled, he hesitated for a moment, and finally squeezed out a flattering expression.
"Wait for me to pass two days, my illness is not cured yet, let Xiao Shao Master wait a few more days" His face was full of exhaustion, his eyes were full of pleading, but he blocked the door with his own body and did not let Xiao Fengping enter.
The man was kidnapped.
Xiao Fengping's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that there was a deep scar on this person's wrist, which should have been not long ago.
He wondered if the middle-aged man had been kidnapped by a destitute robber.
If you think about it, it's really possible.
It stands to reason that this kind of person who lives in the suburbs will not carry anything of value with him. Ordinary robbers, robbery is not very likely.
But there are always accidents in things, Xiao Fengping thought about it, as the guest secretary of Luoyang City, he had to ignore it.
However, before he could make a move, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house.
The man shook and slowly stepped aside.
Xiao Fengping raised his eyebrows, and under the moonlight, he condensed slightly.
