"Childe go slowly, welcome to visit our store next time!"
Half an hour later. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) Huo Xuan carried a large bag and came out of the pharmacy. A middle-aged man with a round face and a little blessing sent him out with a smile on his face.
The more than a dozen kinds of medicinal materials needed by the old man are quite precious, but they are not rare. This pharmacy called 'Guangdexuan' has a very complete variety of medicinal materials, and it didn't take much effort for Huo Xuan to purchase all the medicinal materials.
Walking out of the pharmacy, Huo Xuan put all the big bags and small bags on the back of the white horse, and then came to a hidden corner, and when he saw that there was no one around, he put all the medicinal materials into the ring. After that, he went to buy some daily necessities, looked at the sun, and when it was almost noon, he turned over and rode in the direction of Lin Mansion.
It's been a long time since I saw Third Brother Lin, as well as Big Brother Yan Fei and Sister Fluttershy, and I don't know how they are now? Huo Xuan has a very good impression of these three life-saving benefactors, and he misses them very much. Now that he has the opportunity to come to Blackwater Town, he naturally wants to pay a visit.
There were many pedestrians on the street, and Huo Xuan rode slowly, not daring to go too fast. Lin Mansion is located in the middle of the town's main street, which is the most prosperous place in the town, and it is very lively with endless vendors. Not long after, Huo Xuan came to the gate of the Lin Mansion.
He sat on the back of the horse, looked over, but saw that the gate of the Lin Mansion was closed, and it looked very deserted. Without much thought, he turned over and dismounted, tied the horse to the stone stake on the side of the door, and went forward to knock.
Bang!Bang!......
I knocked for a long time, but no one answered the door. Huo Xuan thought to himself, could it be that Third Brother Lin and the others had already returned to the county government? He was about to ask passers-by to inquire, when at this moment, half of the door 'clicked' open, and a man in his thirties leaned out half of his body.
"Are you ......" looked at Huo Xuan, this man slapped his head suddenly, and suddenly said, "You are Young Master Huo!"
"Big Brother Bai!" Huo Xuan smiled and saluted. This man's name is Bai Haodong, he is Lin Gongzi's guard, Yan Fei's brother, and he got along well with Huo Xuan on the boat that day.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for more than a year, Young Master Huo, you have grown taller and stronger, I almost didn't recognize it!" Bai Haodong stepped forward, hugged his fists, and said with a smile.
The two exchanged a few words. Huo Xuan said what he meant.
"Brother Bai, I'm here to run errands in town, and I'm here to visit Third Brother Lin, as well as Big Brother Yan Fei and Sister Fluttershy. When he said this, he saw that Bai Haodong's face suddenly darkened, and his feelings seemed very low.
"But what happened?" Huo Xuan saw that something was wrong and hurriedly asked.
"A little more than a month ago, my son-in-law suddenly fell ill, and he became insane and delirious, and he injured Fluttershy by mistake. A few days later, Fluttershy's body appears in a lotus pond and is suspected to have drowned. Ten days ago, Brother Yan also suffered, and he was unconscious in front of the water pavilion where Gongzi lived, without any scars on his body, but he just couldn't wake up. Bai Haodong's tone was extremely low, "We have invited a lot of doctors, but we can't save Brother Yan." As for my son-in-law, he's crazy all day now, and he doesn't let anyone get close!"
"How so?"
Huo Xuan's face changed greatly when he heard this. The eyes couldn't help but reveal sadness. That sister Fluttershy, gentle and kind, is so sad that she suddenly suffers such a catastrophe.
Originally, he rushed to visit his friends, but he never thought that his friends would encounter misfortune one by one, which made Huo Xuan very sad.
"Big Brother Bai, I want to visit Third Brother Lin and Big Brother Yan Fei!" he was silent for a long time before speaking.
"Come with me!"
Bai Haodong nodded, and led Huo Xuan to the mansion. Along the way, Huo Xuan saw that the house was very deserted, not to mention the guards and servants, and even the maid ring was rare. Compared with more than a year ago, the lively scene in the Lin Mansion is simply like a cloud!
Bai Haodong led Huo Xuan and went straight to the Lin Mansion living room.
"Huo Gongzi, you are waiting here, I will go and ask Manager Xia. Bai Haodong instructed a maid to prepare tea, and then turned around and left.
This Lin Mansion is the ancestral residence of Lin Gongzi's family, and Manager Xia is a steward who stays here. This old man is about sixty years old, kind, loyal and duty-oriented, and is very respected by Lin Gongzi and his subordinates. Huo Xuan has seen this old man a few times, and he has a good impression of this old man.
After a while, Bai Haodong came to the living room with a kind old man.
"Young Master Huo!" When the old man saw Huo Xuan, he bowed his hand from afar. This old man is the steward of the Lin Mansion and the head of Xia.
"Old Xia!" Huo Xuan also returned a salute. He is commensurate with the brother of Lin Gongzi, the owner of the Lin Mansion, and it stands to reason that there is no need to be polite. However, out of respect for this old man, he still adheres to the courtesy of the younger generation.
"Young Master Huo, it's not the right time for you to come!" Manager Xia stepped forward, grabbed Huo Xuan's hands, and said tremblingly: "The matter of the life in the house, presumably the white guards have already sued you." Alas, this house has been ...... for several days. It's not very peaceful!", the old man burst into tears and his face was full of sadness.
Seeing this, Huo Xuan hurriedly comforted, "Old Xia, I learned some medicinal techniques from a senior in Cangmang Mountain, and your old man took me to see the third brother and the eldest brother Yan Fei, maybe... How can I save them?"
For more than a year, Huo Xuan has followed the old man with medicine and poison, witnessed it, and learned some medicine and toxicology, but it was all superficial, not to mention proficient in two words. The reason why he was in a hurry to see Lin Gongzi and Yan Fei was because he wanted to investigate the cause of their illness. Regardless of whether it can be saved or not, first understand the situation before making the next step.
Manager Xia wiped away the muddy old tears on his face and said, "Young Master Huo, Yan Fei is in the West Wing, you come with me." With that, he led Huo Xuan to the living room and walked towards the west wing. Bai Haodong also followed.
On the road. What Huo Xuan saw in his eyes was still cold and unpopular. He couldn't help but ask, where did all the guards in the palace go?
"Since Gongzi fell ill more than a month ago, Yan Fei sent most of the guards to the county government to report the news, and asked the family to send someone to pick up Gongzi and return to the county government to heal the sick!" explained Chief Manager Xia. At this point, there was a hint of horror on his old face, and he continued, "After Fluttershy drowned in the lotus pond after her misfortune, rumors spread privately in the house that someone had seen Fluttershy haunted her and turned into a ghost to haunt her son. At first, the old man didn't believe it, but later, one after another in the house, several people disappeared mysteriously, their lives and deaths were unknown, and even Yan Fei seemed to be injured by ghosts and demons, unconscious. Therefore, except for the people brought by Gongzi from the family, those Yahuan people hired by the town have basically fled!"
"Now in the huge Lin Mansion, in addition to me and my four brothers, there are only two Yahuan, plus Manager Xia. Bai Haodong's face was full of bitterness, and he interjected on the side: "Originally, with Brother Yan, we and ten others stayed here to protect Gongzi, but I never thought that after Gongzi's illness and Miss Xiaodie's misfortune, four more brothers disappeared mysteriously, and no one was born or dead. Brother Yan...... Brother Yan, he is also angry a lot, but he is not angry, and he will not be long in life!" Speaking of this, this man's eyes were full of tears and his face was full of sadness.
The more Huo Xuan listened, the more bizarre it became. From Lin Gongzi's illness and Fluttershy's tragic death, to the strange disappearance of the guards in the mansion, Yan Fei was injured and unconscious. The whole thing was born in a month, and if it was an accident, no one would believe it!
He had a sense of foreboding. Perhaps, only the crazy Lin Gongzi and the unconscious Yan Fei will know the truth......
