Chapter 34: Returning the Favor

"Huh? Xiao Catch, why don't you speak? Nothing more? ”

Zhao Mingyue raised her eyebrows and said proudly.

"Yes."

Chen Ning replied in a deep voice, lowered his head and continued to wipe the wine vat, as if he didn't want to deal with her.

Zhao Mingyue was speechless for a moment, and the words that she was about to attack were all swallowed back into her stomach.

How can anyone admit it so easily?

It's really hard to talk to this person, he seems to be a stuffy gourd, and he cherishes words like gold.

"No wonder you have to run here to wipe the water tank, how can you catch fast with your ability to say these two sentences?"

Zhao Mingyue raised her little face and said to herself: "There are many ways to catch fast, and the most important part of this is to be able to interrogate, whether it is to interrogate suspects or visit clues, it is all used......"

Chen Ning listened to her chatter for a long time, and did not raise his head until he had carefully wiped all the wine jars.

He stared at Zhao Mingyue and asked with a smile, "Have you ever been a fast catcher?" ”

Zhao Mingyue stopped talking, frowned and said: "I haven't been a general, I will be a Zhenxuan general when I come down the mountain, how can I be a fast catcher?" ”

"Since you haven't been a catcher, why do you want to teach me how to be a catcher?"

Chen Ning smiled faintly: "Are you sure, what you said is right?" ”

Well?

Zhao Mingyue was speechless again, and her mind turned for a while, only to realize that she had fallen into Chen Ning's language trap.

"Zhen Xuan will have a lot more to do than catch fast, I'm right."

The girl turned the corner, her eyebrows and Joan's nose furrowed tightly.

"I approve and be taught."

Chen Ning smiled, put down the sackcloth, walked to the well on the side to fetch water and wash his hands, and did his own thing.

Zhao Mingyue was speechless again.

Although she got the answer she wanted, the phrase "taught" always made her feel very aggrieved, and she didn't feel as comfortable as she expected.

Just when the girl racked her brains to find out what was wrong with the conversation between her and Xiao Yukuai, the door suddenly "creaked" open.

Ma Changsi walked out slowly, his face couldn't tell what the emotion was, there was excitement in his eyes, but there were tears in the corners of his eyes, as if he had cried, but he couldn't laugh, mixed with joy and sorrow.

"Brother Ning, Master Xiang has taken me as an apprentice."

Ma Changsi was stunned for a moment, his eyes looked at Chen Ning, and he looked a little at a loss, "But Master, he ......."

"Father-in-law took you as an apprentice?"

Chen Ning interrupted him, paused and smiled, "This is a good thing, an excellent thing!" I'll talk about it later, this Lord Zhao from Kyoto has something important to do with Lord Xiang. ”

Ma Changsi only realized at this time that there was a beautiful figure in the courtyard.

He immediately stopped talking and saluted Zhao Mingyue, "This lord, Lord Xiang is resting in the house, I will tell you, you wait a moment." ”

And Zhao Mingyue frowned and looked at Ma Changsi, the light in her bright eyes flickered, and a trace of doubt appeared.

She really didn't understand why a character like Xiang Beige would accept a person like Ma Changsi as a disciple.

"Changsi, please come in from Kyoto."

didn't wait for Ma Changsi to report, and the voice of Xiang Sad Song came from the house.

Ma Changsi did not hesitate, and immediately pushed open the door, "My lord, please come in." ”

Zhao Mingyue also retracted her gaze, nodded slightly, and walked towards the house with a big knife on her back.

Ma Changsi's gaze lingered slightly from the big knife behind her back, then quickly moved away, and hurriedly came to Chen Ning's side after the girl entered the house.

"Brother Ning, that girl just now is from Kyoto? What's the matter? ”

Ma Changsi asked curiously.

Chen Ning shook his head, "I don't know, I only know that it is a seven-rank town general, and it is estimated that it is a helper found by Lord Xiang." ”

Now, nearly 20 people have died in the Xuan case in Qingxi County, but Master Xiang is seriously injured, and someone must take care of it.

It's not hard to guess the girl's intentions.

"The knife she carries is quite bluffing, but judging by her age, she is about the same age as you and me, can she be reliable?"

Ma Changsi touched his chin and analyzed in a deep voice.

"The old problem has been committed again, don't ask more questions that shouldn't be asked, whether it is reliable or not is the matter of Zhen Xuansi, what are you talking about?"

Chen Ning said lightly.

Although he said so, he still subconsciously looked into the room.

Xiang adults can't even put things on the table, can this girl be reliable?

Ma Changsi smiled, rubbed his cheeks indiscriminately, and asked in a deep voice: "Brother Ning, I just said that Lord Xiang took me as an apprentice, aren't you curious, what did Master Xiang tell me?" ”

This is a bit of a show off.

Chen Ning shook his head, stared into his eyes and said, "Old Ma, Lord Xiang must have his reasons for accepting you as an apprentice, and I never question Lord Xiang's decision."

It's just that you have to understand that if you become a disciple of Master Xiang, what do you have to carry, and your burden may be very heavy in the future. ”

Ma Changsi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "Brother Ning, you are worthy of being Lord Xiang's righteous son, and you speak exactly the same as Lord Xiang." ”

As he spoke, he pointed out the door again, "Since there's nothing to do, let's go, don't stay here." ”

"It's fine."

Chen Ning glanced at the room and nodded, "I haven't been home for three days, go home first to see Chen Jiawang, and then gather under the old huai at the mouth of the West Lane to do what needs to be done." ”

"Investigate the matter of Miss Zhou Ruyu?"

Ma Changsi suddenly came to his senses and patted his chest, "Master Xiang has given me real skills, the immortals have practiced martial arts, and when I meet the prisoners again, I can help a lot!" ”

Chen Ning turned around and walked out, chuckling: "How can anyone become a fat man in one bite?" The exercises given to you are just the cornerstone, so let's talk about it when you learn it. ”

"Am I not fat enough?"

Ma Changsi responded with a smile and followed Chen Ning.

……

……

Chen Ning and the others left Zhenxuansi and went straight to Chenjia Lane, Chen Ning went home, and Ma Changsi also took him back to his home to put things.

When Chen Ning returned to the door of the small courtyard at home, he saw smoke coming from the kitchen next to him.

"Jiabao?"

Chen Jiawang didn't know how to cook, and Chen Ning immediately guessed that it was Zhang Jiabao who was cooking.

"Brother Chen Ning, you're back!"

Zhang Jiabao stepped on a small bench, stood by the stove, and skillfully turned over the big iron spoon.

"You've worked hard for the past two days."

Chen Ning smiled with a slight guilt, stepped forward to touch Zhang Jiabao's head, and hugged him down, "I'll come next." ”

Zhang Jiabao wiped his hands and said with a smile: "I'm not hard, but Brother Chen Ning, you haven't come back for a few days, what's a big case?" Is it Uncle Wu's case? ”

"Well, I've been a bit busy lately."

Chen Ning didn't say much, and said, "Wait for the meal to be cooked, you can take it home and eat it." ”

"I don't eat it, my dad and I have eaten it."

Zhang Jiabao shook his head and said, "Brother Chen Ning, I have something to tell you, Uncle Jiawang doesn't know if he is sick in the past two days, he always sleeps, and he is still hungry."

That day, we went to eat noodles from Wu's restaurant, and he ate twenty-five bowls! ”

Chen Ning frowned, as if he had thought of something, but his voice was indifferent, "It's okay, he's such a big guy, he should eat a few more bowls of rice, and I can afford to raise him." ”

Zhang Jiabao scratched his head, "I always feel that something is wrong, Brother Chen Ning, if you are free, you should ask a doctor to show Uncle Jiawang." ”

"Oops, I'm going to go to the academy late, Brother Chen Ning, I'll go first!"

Then, Zhang Jiabao waved his hand, ran out of the yard in a hurry, turned around and disappeared into the alley.

"Slow down, you will not curse Mr. Su later."

Chen Ning watched him leave, and after his gaze was withdrawn, his face suddenly became solemn.

Then, Chen Ning cooked the meal, turned around and entered the house, and called Chen Jiawang to get up and eat.

Chen Jiawang, as Zhang Jiabao said, was still lying on the bed and sleeping, and the snoring sound was earth-shattering.

"Chen Ning, why did you come back, I'm going to starve to death, do you know?"

After a lot of waste, Chen Ning woke up Chen Jiawang, listened to his complaints, and finished the meal together.

During this period, Chen Ning also asked Chen Jiawang a few questions, but Chen Jiawang didn't know anything, so he said that he was hungry and sleepy, and just wanted to sleep.

After eating, after a while, Chen Jiawang went back to the house and fell asleep.

"Could it be ......?"

Chen Ning frowned and stared at Chen Jiawang, who was snoring like thunder, touching his chest, and worry was written on his face.

This symptom is somewhat similar to that of myself who was in a coma three days ago, but it is not the same.

After all, when Rou Tai Sui attacked, he was very aggressive, and he only wanted to devour flesh and blood, and Chen Jiawang's appearance was more like he was guilty of some strange illness.

Chen Ning personally checked Chen Jiawang's pulse and concluded that he was as strong as an ox, and there was no problem with his pulse, even stronger than ordinary men.

"Isn't it, because of the sequelae of the soul search?"

Chen Ning was not sure in his heart, so he still went to invite the famous Doctor Guo in the city to show Chen Jiawang.

After reading it, Doctor Guo pondered for a long time before he said: "Chen Zhutou, if the old man is not mistaken, the old man has an incurable disease, and the old man has read a strange disease in the medical book, called not waking up, which is very similar to the symptoms of the old catcher. ”

If you can't wake up, isn't it sleeping sickness?

Although this condition was rare, he had heard of it in his previous life.

Chen Ning frowned and thought about it, and secretly said that what Doctor Guo said also made some sense.

Since Chen Jiawang was searched for soul, his soul is incomplete, and some sequelae are reasonable.

But for this symptom, Doctor Guo didn't have much to do, just prescribed a few nourishing prescriptions, and asked Chen Ning to look at the follow-up symptoms, and he also went to check the medical books and ancient books.

Seeing off Doctor Guo, Chen Ning stared at Chen Jiawang and sighed, "It's better to be honest, it's better to sleep all day than to go out and make trouble." ”

I remembered that a few years ago, Chen Jiawang played with fire to burn the side house black, went down to the river to catch fish and lost his clothes, and ran back naked, seeing him snoring like thunder, it was more reassuring.

Chen Jiawang's strange illness has not improved for so many years, but it has not worsened.

Chen Ning can be regarded as relieved or helpless, seeing that he has no worries about his life, he will put it aside for two days.

In addition, I couldn't spare time to take care of him during this time, and I thought to myself, when I had some free time, I would find a way to heal him.

Chen Ning entered his room, put the things that should be put on his body, sharpened the knife, and went out of the house and went straight to the mouth of the West Alley.

When Chen Ning's back disappeared into the alley, Chen Jiawang in the house suddenly turned over and got up.

It's just that there is a strange dim color in his eyes, and the pupils in his eyes have become horizontal pupils, which look like a big toad.

Chen Jiawang twisted his neck, listened for a moment, and muttered to himself: "The power that this stupid big man has absorbed in the past two days is too much, and he has to be seen...... It seems that he must be restored to normal as soon as possible. ”

While speaking, he got up and came to Chen Ning's room, glanced at the bottom of the bed, and hooked his hands at will, Chen Ning hid all those things out of the ground.

Chen Jiawang sat at the head of the bed, looked at Chen Ning's things, and sighed: "What kind of rags is this." ”

He picked up the booklet that Chen Ning had just taken from Xiang Beige and hadn't read yet, and after flipping through it for a while, he said disdainfully: "What a mess of things, the person who wrote this note, I'm afraid he is not a fool, he writes about how to be a yellow sheep and understands the exercises, and treats people and mermaids, which is ridiculous!" ”

After flipping through a few pages, Chen Jiawang lost interest, "Boy, count yourself lucky, the deity never owes favors, so as to avoid having more cause and effect with you." ”

He stretched out his finger and sketched at will, "That deity will hand you how to shepherd the sheep and open a correct path to heaven for you, which can be regarded as a life-saving favor for your father and son." ”

As Chen Jiawang sketched, some of the words on the note began to wriggle like mucus and change shape.

After doing all this, Chen Jiawang waved his hand, and those things flew back to their original places, just like before.

"I fought with this kid a few days ago, and today I have to accept his father's kindness......"

Chen Jiawang stretched his waist and slowly walked towards his room, "Fate is really wonderful, no wonder even the old guy from Master can't see it clearly." ”

He sat on the bed, looked through the window at the towering mountains in the distance, and muttered alone: "Cause and effect can't be touched anymore, but!" That's it! It's all gone! Otherwise, I will disturb the master and disturb his old man's retreat, and I am afraid that I will have to eat. ”
