"See if there's anything missing?" The ruler sword approached and handed her the small burden. As soon as Xue Bingning took it, he felt that the weight was heavy, and quickly untied the burden. In the small baggage, in addition to the old pharmacopoeia, there were also some broken silver, gold and copper coins, she pursed her lips and smiled.

Qi Jian took the water bladder thrown by Uncle Feng and poured a few mouthfuls of water: "That thief was pressed to the ground by me, and even the hair was rummaged through, just like that." ”

Xin Shansi curled her lips: "It's nothing bad, right?" Xue Bingning shook his head: "It's not bad, it's not bad." He put the gold, silver, and copper coins into his own money bag, and presented the pharmacopoeia with both hands: "Doctor Li, what do you do with this?" ”

This thing is indeed of some use to him, and Li looked at Shansi: "You can help me collect it first." ”

"Okay." Xin Shansi asked about the previous incident again: "Are you sure it was the puppet who attacked Mu Kun?" She couldn't understand the puppet's intentions, one would collude with Chi Ran and the Mongolian people to kill her, and the other would ambush Mu Kun, the key Mu Kun was still alive?

In fact, Xue Bingning recalled the scene of the fierce fight between the two sides last evening: "Those sixteen puppets and the puppets I saw in Mayang County... Not quite the same. ”

"What's the difference?" Li Shang asked.

"I can't tell." Xue Bingning tried hard to find words to describe it, but the feeling was vaguely elusive and could not be described at all.

"Are they stiff in their every move?" Xin Shansi asked.

After being smooth, Xue Bingning caught the word "action" and suddenly said: "Yes, their movements have a sense of uniformity, but they are not stiff." I have seen the guards of Meng Yao on the other side of Eagle Head Mountain, and they are very similar to those guards. ”

"Army?" Li Shang pointed.

Xue Bingliao was categorical: "Yes, it's the army." ”

"Mengren?" The ruler sword was stunned, could it really be Meng Yao's hand?

Xue Bingning shook his head: "Judging by the body shape and hair, it should not be a Mongolian person, but a Han person." ”

Han? Li Shang pondered: "Are all the puppets who ambushed Mu Kun dead?" ”

"Nope." Xue Bingning said: "They are very powerful, there are at least two archers hidden. Of the thirteen people brought by Mu Kun, four fell at the beginning. The remaining nine were protectors, who had a lot of scruples, and they were all injured in less than a hundred breaths. They took off Mu Kun's right arm, killed his guards, and withdrew. ”

"Didn't find you?" Xin Shansi wondered. Xue Bingning shook his head: "I waited for a while, but I didn't see anyone come back to check, so I immediately went to give Mu Kun who passed out a burning feeling." After planting, I went to Yanyang City. ”

Li Shang blinked: "It's not that I didn't find it, it's that I don't need to find it." ”

"Because the puppet dress up is originally to cause trouble, and it is not seen by others, so there is no difference between them." Xin Shansi sighed: "Although this blame is blatant, it has to be said to be very clever. The puppets are dressed up to hide their true faces. Dr. Li almost pointed out that the Xiling Fang family and the puppet were the same in Hongying Town. The two arrows pierced Mu Kun's kneecaps, alluding to the arrow that Meng Yuling shot and injured the elder back then. ”

After listening, Qi Jian paused: "Is it the Yao family in the East Taishan Mountain?" His family has had a general. ”

Li Shang smiled and looked at Xue Bingning: "Your dose of blazing affection can be regarded as completely muddying the water." "If it was something else, Meng Yuling wouldn't think much about it, but it was just passion. Blazing, control the poison of Yuling Palace and Qinfeng Tower. Meng Yuling has full wings, but if the power is not successful, I am afraid that he will be worried for a while.

Chapter 73

"I didn't think about it so much..."Even after relieving her feelings and recognizing her mother, Xue Bingning still hated the people who bought and sold her and built the Yuling Palace: "I just want Meng Yuling to taste the bitterness of restlessness day and night." ”

Xin Shansi was curious: "Doctor Li, a man is masculine, will it be more difficult to endure a fiery love than a woman?" ”

Feng Xiao, who came to ask them to eat, answered his doubts on his behalf: "Not only is it more difficult than a woman, but it is also difficult to solve." Before, we tested rats in Tanzhou, and all of them were mothers. In addition, Mu Kun was seriously injured, and even if Meng Yuling could find a master to pull out the poison for him, he would not be able to withstand the wear and tear of pulling out the poison in a short period of time. ”

Wait, Xue Bingning turned his head to look at Uncle Feng and then looked at Doctor Li and Sister Yan Qing: "Who have you relieved your affection?" ”

"Let's talk while we eat." Xin Shansi was a little hungry.

A few people walked to a small table in the shade. Seeing that Binghuan was still carrying a burden, Qi Jian asked, "What are your plans for next?" ”

Xue Bingning smiled, looked left and right, and said a little embarrassedly: "After I left Luyang, I went south in a twist and turn, and I also tried my luck to see if I could meet you." Although she didn't know exactly where they were going, she knew that Sister Yan Qing was choosing a place to build a tea house. The vicinity of Tanzhou City is not suitable, and that line will definitely not go further northwest.

"Unpack your baggage and put it in the car." Xin Shansi quietly tugged at Dr. Li's back, turned her eyes to the left, and glanced at him. The third family in Wulin Village has been settled.

Sister Yan Qing spoke, and Xue Bingning immediately took off her burden and ran to the donkey cart of the ruler sword: "I will take care of my own food, clothing, housing and transportation." She didn't want to be alone, and she missed spending time with them. When he came back from his baggage, he took out a silver ticket worth fifty taels from his money bag and handed it to Uncle Feng.

Fengxiao is not answered, nor is it not. Xue Bingning directly stuffed him into his hand: "I made two small fortunes all the way here. When Sister Yan Qing found a place to build a tea house, I set up a small courtyard on the side. ”

"Okay." Xin Shansi smiled sweetly: "It is lively when more people live together, and you can visit the door and chat a few words in your spare time." ”

"Yes..."Xue Bingning longed for such a day.

Seeing Xue Bingliao handing over the silver, Lu Yao began to reflect on himself, should he and his uncle also intersect?

Two small square tables are put together, seven adults sit around the table, and one small person lies on his father's arm. On the table, there are steamed buns, rice cakes, cakes, eight cans of side dishes, and no soup and tea.

Seeing that Sister Yan Qing and Dr. Li sandwiched the buns, Xue Bingning moved his chopsticks: "Have you helped people relieve their feelings in Tanzhou?" ”

Qi Jian nodded: "The lord is familiar with the poison of the blazing spirit, and he bought almost 5,000 rats alone." It was easy to find out the poison, tried a way to understand the blazing feelings, and successfully detoxified the person, but he didn't want to kill the person in Qinfenglou. ”

The rice cake in his mouth suddenly became a little bitter, Xue Bingning chewed it carefully, and his eyelashes fell. The most right thing she did in her life was to defect from the Yuling Palace. Without escaping from there, she would never know the joys and sorrows of the world, let alone experience the beauty of being cared for by her mother.

"Qinfeng Lou is also arrogant, and he dares to send people to us, saying that he is a medical fee." Qi Jian snorted coldly: "The Lord will take me to Qinfeng Tower that night." At first, Qin Fenglou raised his chin high, but in the end he couldn't beat us, so he had to obediently take gold to pay for the consultation of Scarlet. ”

"Crimson?" Xue Bingning was surprised.

Feng Xiao raised his eyes and looked at the other side: "Do you know?" ”

Acquaintance, Xue Bingning blinked: "When she was in Yuling Palace, it was very good to follow the senior sister Chang who led people to arrest me in front of her. ”

Thinking of the rouge that the crimson sent to Dr. Li, Xin Shansi sighed lightly: "I guess it's not there." Crimson couldn't go back to Yuling Palace, but she got the rouge used for Yuling Palace's flower buds. ”

The mouth was even more bitter, Xue Bingning took a deep breath and spit slowly, trying to relax his clenched heart: "The old blind man said that the buds on his arms are peach-pink, and the fiery poison prescription is the poison prescription he recorded in the old pharmacopoeia." When the color of the bud changes, the poison recipe changes. ”

Li Shang thought of it: "Using flower seeds to stabilize the color of the blazing love is to go through trial and error. If the dosage is slightly wrong, the flower seeds will not be able to suppress the blazing red. ”

"Why bother?" Lu Yao's eyes were dark: "While aiding and abusing, and at the same time having an uneasy conscience, he might as well die in the year of Zhishi." ”

"Such a person will not be willing to die." Lu Yaozu bit most of the buns in one bite, and he died stupidly.

The pancakes at Laixiang Inn are very thin, and they will not affect the taste when they are cold. Xin Shansi deliberately ignored the little look that looked from the sidelines: "A few days ago, we met a woman outside Xishu City who killed herself because of her passion. ”

Xue Bingning's throat was blocked: "What should I do next?" ”

"Because of the crimson color, Yuling Palace already knows that I can relieve my blazing feelings..." Li Shang put down the half-eaten vegetarian bun in his hand and scooped saliva with a spoon for the little girl in his arms, who was so anxious that she pouted: "I don't know if they have replanted the poison for the women under their door, so the antidote to the pink bud cannot be given." ”

"In order to prevent another crimson thing from happening, unless the person who asks for the door is dying, we will not detoxify the woman in the Qinfeng Building for the time being." Xin Shan thought.

That's what Li Shang thought: "Detoxification, after Qinfeng Tower falls." ”

Not to mention this heavy question, Xin Shansi looked at Bing Huan: "You just said that you made two small fortunes?" ”

"It's also called me encountered." Xue Bingning heard the tsk and looked at the one in Dr. Li's arms, and immediately couldn't stand it, why is she so cute? The pink and tender little mouth drank the water barly, and a pair of eyes like Sister Yan Qing and like Dr. Li were still smiling.

Li Jiujiu seemed to know that everyone was watching her, and she drank water more happily and fragrantly. Xin Shansi laughed: "Doctor Li, did you add sugar to her water?" "The little thing is delicious.

Li Shang was also happy and asked the little man in his arms, "Tell Daddy, when will you get teeth?" ”

Li Jiujiu gave up the spoon, opened her mouth, exposed her bare gums, and smiled so much that her father couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her on the head.

Xue Bingning's mood was much better, and when she remembered something, she hurriedly put down her chopsticks and rice cakes, and wiped her hand on the cloth towel: "I didn't have anything good at hand before, so I could only make a knot for us to give us a gift for a long time, this time..." ”

This is... Sky Eyeballs? Xin Shansi stared closely, but didn't notice the freezing on the side of Li. Each bead on the chain is elongated and cylindrical, except for the one hanging in the center, which is not very round and smooth. She didn't know what it was called now, but it was called a dzi today.

Dr. Lai's look... Xue Bingning was a little apprehensive, glanced down at the things in his hand, and asked, "This... Is there a problem? ”

Putting the spoon back into the bowl, Li Shang took out the bead chain that Xue Bingning was holding, and pointed to the bead hanging in the middle, and the picture of Zhenzhen flashed in his mind, and his nose tingled.

It was the first time Xin Shansi had seen him like this, and when she saw her daughter's little paw grasping the bead chain, she hurriedly reached out to hug her.

"No, you don't." Li Shang counted the eyes on the beads, and confirmed that it was nine, so he let go of his hand and let the girl take it, and looked up at Xue Bingning: "Where did you get this chain?" In recent years, he has investigated many things about the Li family and searched many dark markets, but he has not found a single piece of jewelry and jade that he remembers.

"I..." Xue Bingning was a little stuck, and he was in a hurry for two breaths before he hurriedly came out: "I picked it up at the bottom of the river, Huangjiang." ”

Xin Shansi sat Binghuan down and asked Dr. Li, "What is the origin of this thing?" ”

Picking up the nine-eyed bead, Li Shang said: "There are up to five of these beads in the Central Plains, which are left over from the ancient Zhangxiong Dynasty, and are said to be able to ward off evil spirits and avoid misfortune." After a few breaths, he whispered, "This chain is my mother's thing." ”

What? Xin Shansi was shocked and glanced at Bing Huan. Several others were also immediately corrected. Li Shang's eyes narrowed slightly: "In my memory, she has always been wearing it close to her body. I would often arch her in her arms and play with the beads. ”

After three or four breaths of silence, Feng Xiao came back to his senses and put down his chopsticks: "Binghuan, tell me how to pick up this chain?" ”

"Not only this chain, but there are also many good things at the bottom of the Yellow River." Xue Bingning never expected that when he couldn't hold his breath, the thing he grabbed casually was actually Dr. Li's mother's personal belongings: "After I recognized my mother, I didn't dare to stay in Tangshan Village for a long time. I was leaving, and my mother asked me where I was going. When I told her that I was going south, she immediately said that my sister-in-law was pregnant, and that she was going south to see my eldest brother's house.

My eldest brother's home is in Huangmei County, south of the Yellow River, and my mother took me on a two-day walk to the Meicun Wharf to take a boat. Before the boat had crossed the center of the river, I saw a group of people from the Yuling Palace rushing along the river to the ferry on the other side. I recognize the leader who turned to ashes, and it was the teacher who taught me, Zhu Qing.

I'm sure I'll be able to fool the people around, but she's it, I don't dare bet. My mother found out that I was wrong, so she immediately covered for me. I put the burden in my mother's basket, looked for an opportunity to get into the water, and swam downstream. In Yinnan Mountain, we have all practiced breath-holding. With a sigh of relief, I went down to the bottom of the river and found a shipwreck.

The boat was not large, and it was completely stuck in mud and grass, several boxes, two overturned, and a few human bones. I touched the four ingots of gold and the chain of beads, and then I turned over and went to the water. The mouth came out of the water and changed his breath, and he didn't go down to the bottom of the river again. "It's easy to lose her life if she's too greedy, and she still wants to live." Gold, I left one ingot for my mother, and the rest was exchanged for silver tickets by me. ”

Seeing her take the money bag, Li Shang said, "You keep it." The Li family has been gone for twenty years, and those have long been ownerless. ”

The surname is Li, and he still has such a thick bottom? Xue Bingning had a number in his heart: "Tanzhou Li family." "Yuling Palace's record of Dr. Li only said that he was picked up from a beggar's den by Bai Qian, and he didn't expect to have such a background.

Li Jiujiu cocked his little finger and grabbed the beads and sent them to his mouth. Xin Shansi stopped, thinking about the shipwreck: "So many jewels are sunk at the bottom of the river, and there is no wind at all..."

Li Shang didn't know. Qi Jian and Lu Yao were real, and the two of them almost said in unison: "Let's go and fish them up as soon as possible." ”

Right. When she left the bottom of the river, she wanted to find them and then go back to fish. One person has little strength and does not dare to be greedy. But so many people are still very good, and it doesn't take much trouble to keep that little thing.

Xue Bingning tore off a small piece of rice cake and put it in his mouth, and looked at Dr. Li: "I don't agree with what you just said. I won't give you the gold, but you're still there, why are the things of the Li family ownerless? ”

"Yes." Lu Yao poured himself a glass of water: "We not only have to go to the jewelry, but also check the bones." ”

"I don't know exactly how many they are, but the two that are close to me..." Xue Bingning was sure: "The people who killed them have extremely powerful skills. The hand nodded and pointed to his left shoulder, "The bones are all broken." ”

In the middle of the Yellow River, the water depth ranges from one zhang to thirty zhang, and the section of Huangmei County is considered to be deeper. Li Shang collected his mind and smiled slightly: "Hurry up and eat, we will continue to hurry after eating." ”

"What kind of fortune did you make in the second payment?" Qi Jian asked casually. Xue Bingning shook his head: "There are really people in this year." There was a girl in Xuyun City who was dressed in linen and set up in the ring, and she sat cross-legged in the ring and put ten taels of silver on the side. If you win her, you can take all the money. Whoever loses will be left with five taels of silver. ”

Speaking of Xuyun City, Xin Shansi became interested: "You went up?" ”

"Yes." Xue Bingning said: "I arrived in Xuyun City on the third day of the first month of August. The ring was placed in the south of the city, just at the south gate where I walked. I didn't look for the inn, but I first noticed a large group of people gathered around and drinking, so I walked over to have a look. At first, I thought it was a martial arts contest to recruit relatives, but after listening to it for a while, I realized that she was sitting in the village. ”

"How much did you win?" Lu Yao asked with a smile.

Xue Bingning gestured: "Forty-five taels of silver." ”

Enough for him to count fifteen hexagrams, Lu Yao turned his head and asked his uncle: "Can I still practice excellent kung fu at my age?" ”

"Your muscles and bones are too hard, so you are not the material for martial arts." Lu Yaozu sandwiched a piece of cake.

Lu Yao accepted it quickly: "Forty-five taels of silver minus her own ten taels, which means that the girl has won seven people..."

"You want to say that I can't win or not?"

"No, since she is in the ring and the rules are set by her, then there is no such thing as victory. I'm going to say, that girl is amazing. Of course, you're also a very good girl. "It's not good to scold Chi Xi, Lu Yao scolded Siqin in his heart, it was he who let himself live such a humble life.

Xue Bingning glanced at Lu Yao: "Although I can't beat Old Man Lu and Sister Yan Qing, I have also learned hard since I was a child. Indeed, the woman is as you say, and she is very powerful. I don't deny that I may not be able to beat her when she's at her peak, but like you said, the rules are set by her. ”

"Why don't you seem upset?" Lu Yao's words didn't mean anything else, Xin Shansi sandwiched a mutton bun for her.

"Don't mention it..."Xue Bingning laughed at himself: "Forty-five taels of silver can't dispel the depression in my heart." ”

Feng smiled and said, "Then say it, and we will give you a comment." ”

Although he didn't want to mention it, Xue Bingning didn't realize that he was wrong with the silver, so he took a sip of water and swallowed the blockage in his throat: "When I arrived in Xuyun City, that girl had been in the ring in Xuyun City for a few days. She was draped in linen, with a sword lying horizontally on her crossed legs. I thought it was a martial arts idiot, and the onlookers didn't say anything but praise her.
