Chapter 012 - The list is revealed
In just two days, the news that Mrs. Liu was suffering from a stubborn illness and was in danger has spread all over the streets and alleys of Baishi Town, and it has also become the topic of most concern to the people.
In front of the list of drug seekers, it was no longer as crowded as yesterday, only a dozen or so residents stopped to watch. These people would look around and say a few words to each other, all with curious expressions.
On the cyan brick and stone walls, the place where the medicine list was originally posted was empty, and the one-foot-square rice paper was long gone.
Obviously, someone has unveiled the Liu family's list of seeking medicine. According to the usual practice, the person who unveiled the list would go to Liufu to treat the old lady with the list of medicines.
As we all know, the illness suffered by Mrs. Liu is very strange, and even the famous Doctor Xue in Qianjiang City is helpless, which master will be removed from this list of medicines? Could it be that the person who unveiled the list thinks that his medical skills are more superb than that of Doctor Xue?
In Baishi Town, this news quickly spread and spread quickly. The curious people were asking each other for a while to discuss, who did it, and for a time all kinds of strange sayings appeared, and various versions were circulating, and there were different opinions.
Completely different from the noisy atmosphere in Baishi Town, the Liu family's mansion located in the northwest of Baishi Town was quiet, and many servants lowered their heads and walked back and forth on tiptoe, for fear of making a little noise and angering the head of the family and the eldest lady.
Since yesterday, the head of the family and the eldest lady have started a fierce quarrel, although the couple closed the door and deliberately suppressed the sound, but they were still heard, and for a while everyone in the Liu Mansion was silent.
At this time, Qin Yan, the eldest lady of the Liu family, who was dressed in a blue brocade skirt and had a plump figure, was losing her temper in the room, sitting in front of the bed, she was holding a white silk handkerchief in one hand, and wiping the sweat beads on her forehead from time to time.
The floor was littered with broken cups, plates, and teacups, as well as fragments of vases. The two well-behaved maids stood solemnly behind the door, not even daring to breathe.
Liu Xiangtian, the burly and sturdy head of the Liu family, was dressed in a silver robe, with a jade belt around his waist, and a pair of sword eyebrows inserted obliquely into his temples. He was sitting at the jujube wood round table with a golden sword, looking at Qin Yan who was not too angry with his eyes.
"Now that your mother is critically ill, and you are going back to your parents' house at this time, you are not ignorant of the rumors in the neighborhoods and alleys of Ludao, do you not care about your reputation at all?" Liu Xiangtian's thin brown lips moved slightly, and the beard on his chin also trembled, looking at Qin Yan's expression, with a hint of hatred that iron is not steel.
"I don't care about my face??Liu Xiangtian, you tell me clearly, what do you mean that I don't care about my face?" Qin Yan suddenly turned her head, and stared at Liu Xiangtian with a pair of big eyes, full of anger, full of tigress expression.
"Those bastards are breaking their mouths outside, saying some rumors about catching wind and shadows, everyone in the Liu Mansion suspects that I am doing evil, and now even you suspect me, I don't go back to my parents' house, do I continue to stay here and see the faces of your Liu family?" Qin Yan became more and more excited the more she spoke, she stood up from the bed, crossed her waist with one hand and pointed at Liu Xiangtian with the other, her face flushed with anger and excitement.
"But when you go back to your parents' house at this stall, won't it make people even more suspicious?" Liu Xiangtian glanced at Qin Yan sideways, secretly hating this woman for being so superficial after so many years, if it wasn't for the fact that she was the second lady of the Qin family, how could she marry her.
"Wow, Liu Xiangtian, I can see it, do you mean that your mother was poisoned by me?" Qin Yan was so excited, her red lips opened and closed and spurted spittle, her chest rose and fell sharply and trembled, obviously angry.
"Bastard!" Liu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows, his face suddenly turned cold, and he slapped the round table, shaking the teacup a few times. ...,
Liu Xiangtian was about to open his mouth to teach Qin Yan a lesson, when he heard the voice of the housekeeper Liu Zhong from outside the door.
"Master, someone has unveiled the list to heal the old lady!"
Hearing this, Liu Xiangtian took a deep breath, glanced at Qin Yan angrily, turned around and brushed his sleeves away. When he came to the door, he saw Liu Zhong, a thin housekeeper wearing a blue square scarf and hat, standing solemnly in front of the threshold with his sleeves crossed.
Originally, Liu Xiangtian was full of anger, but after hearing that someone had unveiled the list, the heat in his heart gradually dissipated, and he flicked his sleeves, and then walked to the gate of the front yard with the housekeeper Liu Zhong, wanting to see who the person who unveiled the list was.
Along the way, Liu Zhong cautiously followed behind Liu Xiangtian, looking like he was spitting and stopping. When Liu Xiangtian saw his expression, he immediately frowned, and asked unhappily, "Liu Zhong, do you have anything to say?"
"Master, the person who unveiled the list ......"
"What's wrong with him? Tell me quickly!" Seeing that Liu Zhong's waist was bent lower, his expression was a little weird, and Liu Xiangtian felt a little irritable in his heart.
"He's a young man!"
"Young man?" Liu Xiangtian also paused, and faintly felt that something seemed to be wrong in his heart.
Seeing that Liu Xiangtian didn't continue to ask, Liu Zhong originally wanted to say something, but his mouth moved, and finally swallowed his words back. In his heart, he secretly muttered that it was better for the head of the Liu family to make his own decisions about the family affairs, and it was really inconvenient for him to say anything as a subordinate.
Coming to the gate, Liu Xiangtian saw a thin and long back at a glance, judging from the back, this person was indeed a young man who was not yet a weak crown. The young man was holding the rice paper of the medicine list in his hands behind his back, and he was looking at the stone floor under his feet with a slight bow, not knowing what he was thinking.
Liu Xiangtian was a little displeased, and instinctively felt a trace of disgust for this back in his heart. He was thinking, how clever can such a teenage young man, even if he is a master of Xinglin? Could it be that he is more clever than Doctor Xue? Liu Xiangtian didn't believe it, and for no reason in his heart, he regarded this young man as a first-class charlatan who came to cheat the diagnosis money.
"Young man, did you uncover my Liu family's list of seeking medicine?" Liu Xiangtian stood proudly in front of the gate with his hands in his hands, looking at the figure with dark and deep eyes, not angry and arrogant, and the majesty of a monk in the Qi refining period was born spontaneously.
Hearing this, the young man who had been holding his hands behind the door slowly turned around and looked at Liu Xiangtian with a calm face, without the slightest wave.
"It's you!!" Liu Xiangtian's eyes widened instantly, and his face was soon covered with haze, and there was a faint flash of anger.
"It's me. The young man is naturally Du Feiyun, and in the face of Liu Xiangtian, who is about to explode into anger, he still has a non-salty and indifferent expression, and his tone is light and light. Obviously, Liu Xiangtian's reaction was not at all what he expected.
"Evil obstacles, who let you enter my Liu family? Get out of here, this is not the place for you to mess around!" Liu Xiangtian glared at Du Feiyun angrily, and secretly used the coercion of the Qi Refining Period cultivator, surging towards Du Feiyun like a violent wind. He believed that with this kid's strength and determination, he would definitely be afraid, and then flee in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, Du Feiyun didn't react, and he turned a blind eye to Liu Xiangtian's evil words and expressions, and said to himself: "If it weren't for my mother begging me to treat the old lady's strange illness, would you and I be willing to come to your Liu family?"
"Heal the old lady?" Liu Xiangtian looked at Du Feiyun and pouted disdainfully: "It's up to you? Do you think you'll become Langzhong after a few years of taking medicine?" Before I get angry, you'd better get me out of here quickly, otherwise I'll ......."
Before Liu Xiangtian's words were finished, he saw Du Feiyun raise his head and look directly at him, with an inexplicable smile on the corner of his mouth, and said as if he was teasing: "Can you cure it, you will know if you try it!" Liu Family Master, you have been blocking here and not letting me go to treat the old lady, I don't know if Lu Dao can't afford to pay the consultation fee of one hundred taels of gold, or is he afraid that I will really cure the old lady?"
"You!" Liu Xiangtian was speechless for a while, choked by Du Feiyun's words. However, in the end, it was the old fox who controlled the great family's business, and when he raised his eyebrows, he changed to a majestic appearance, and scolded angrily: "Stinky boy, did your mother teach you to talk to your elders like this? I am your uncle, how can you bastard talk to me like this?"
Du Feiyun sneered lightly, but shook his head and ignored Liu Xiangtian's words, and continued: "Master Liu, since I have come to unveil the list, I am naturally sure that I will cure the old lady." So, I think what you should do now is to take me to see the old lady's condition, not to put on some elder prestige here, right?"
"You say that you should be cured and treated? Yellow-haired child, you are really ashamed to say it! Even Doctor Xue is helpless, what kind of son are you bastard?" Liu Xiangtian naturally would not be persuaded by Du Feiyun's words, and he still didn't believe that Du Feiyun had a way to cure his mother's illness. After all, although he has always despised and spit on this kid, he also understands his situation, and knows that he is just a mediocre man who does nothing. The only advantage is probably that the herbs are slightly stronger.
"Hehe, Divine Doctor Xue is helpless, but I may not be unable to heal. Since you don't trust me so much, how about we make a bet?"
"What kind of bet?" Liu Xiangtian's face also evoked a touch of thoughtfulness, when he first saw Du Feiyun, he thought that this kid was making trouble, and he was very irritable. But after talking for so long, he suddenly found that this kid seemed to have changed a little, and he looked like he was in his chest between his words, and he didn't know where he got his confidence and confidence. Yes, he was also a little curious, wanting to see what this kid was capable of.
"If I cure the old lady's illness, the one hundred taels of gold will naturally belong to me, and at the same time, you also need to take out two hundred-year-old ginseng and two hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum!"
"Then what if you don't heal well?" Liu Xiangtian raised his eyebrows, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.
"Let the head of the Liu family deal with it!" Du Feiyun replied crisply.
Liu Xiangtian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked back and forth on Du Feiyun with a scrutinizing gaze for a long time, and his thoughts were churning in his heart.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Life or death?"
"Life or death!"
Seeing that Du Feiyun answered so neatly, and his expression was confident from beginning to end, Liu Xiangtian's heart became more and more curious, what happened to this kid, how could he have changed so much?
He was thinking, could it be that this kid had taken a fancy to the heavy reward of a thousand taels of silver, and he did not hesitate to fight for his life for the sake of a lot of money? However, whatever the reason, since this kid was so confident that he could heal his mother, he would take a gamble, anyway, his mother was now terminally ill, and there was no cure.
"Okay, bet!"
