Zhang Yigeng, Zhang Yingying and Ji Huansheng left with King Qing last night, and Mo Nongxian has not yet woken up from his drunken stupor.

Liu Ya took a pulse, almost didn't laugh, dare to be allergic to alcohol, "He can't touch the wine in the future, otherwise he won't see the sun tomorrow when he falls asleep." ”

"What's the matter? He's been like this since he was a kid, so he rarely touches alcohol on weekdays. ”

"His body is very afraid of alcohol, although there are no other obvious features, but it will make him lethargic and cause the wine gas to be unable to discharge normally, and if the wine continues to dissipate, he will not wake up, if the depression accumulates into the heart, there will be a danger of violent death, so he can not drink again in the future. Liu Ya said, "You can ask the maid to bring more quilts and help him sweat." ”

Ming Gengxiu hurriedly went to Zhang Luo, and before he stepped out of the door, he saw Hu Qingqing rushing in and said, "Zhenguo Gong is dead!"

"What's so strange about this, he's old, and his only bloodline has gone to the underworld to sell salted duck eggs, can he not follow?"

Hu Qingqing knocked his head helplessly, "I'm afraid that there will be some turmoil in Beijing again." ”

**

The summer in the south was drowned by heavy thunderstorms at every turn, Liu Ya and Yuwen Qiupage, as well as Hu Qingqing, as well as Ming Gengxiu and Mo Nongxian, only returned to Baima Town, and they were trapped by the landslide, and could only temporarily settle in the Ping'an Inn, but they did not expect to meet Shi Bai and Cheng Qing who were also trapped here and a fast captain Chi Qingqiao who went home to visit relatives after finishing an errand.

At the dinner table, Xiao Er handed over a bowl of fragrant bird's nest chicken porridge, and Shi Baohu said suspiciously, "We didn't order this." Yuwen Qiupage, who had just sat down, hadn't ordered yet, but they saw Xiao Er put the porridge in front of Liu Ya, and responded with a clever smile:

"It was the boy who warmed the girl's stomach—" Everyone followed his gaze to look at the inner corner, and saw a white figure turning his head leisurely, a fresh and handsome face like cloud dew, out of the dust, he smiled slightly, as if pouring out the gloom of the world, and gestured to the willow bud's jaw.

Liu Ya didn't recognize him, but he still remembered the auspicious cloud hosta pinned in his hair crown, hid his surprise in his heart, smiled lightly and bowed back.

Ming Gengxiu approached her and lowered her voice, "Who is that?

Yuwen Qiupage, who was sitting on the other side of the willow bud, stretched out his hand from behind to pull away Ming Gengxiu's tilted head, and took over with a smile: "It is rumored that at the age of eighteen, he took over the family's silk business and developed a small rich family into a wealthy Xi family head - Xi Shiye. ”

"Is it the head of the Xi family who has always seen the head but not the end, and has been praised as the 'good son' because of his charity?"

"It's him, I met him once at the charity banquet in the Hou Mansion. In Ming Gengxiu's lowered voice, Yu Chiqing Qiao said.

Hu Qingqing swept the bowl of porridge and said, "The Liu family and his family should be competitors, right?"

"Well, in the past, there was a fierce fight, but now it is not popular to die and not get along, my family and his family still have some business dealings, and the healthy competition between the businesses will also help the operation of the chambers of commerce in various places, and play a certain role in influencing the small traders. Liu Ya picked up the bowl of porridge and smiled.

"Hmph, it's just a different way to get more benefits, why bother talking so high-sounding!" Cheng Qing snorted.

Liu Ya took a sip of porridge and said with a smile, "Cheng Zhukuai can know how much the Liu family pays every year? How much money is allocated to the Chamber of Commerce every month for charity?

"Of course, there is nothing wrong with it, it is normal for people to want to get something in return!" Shi Bao was busy under the table and grabbed Cheng Qing, who was still arguing, and said, "No matter which industry is striving for progress, good competition can promote prosperity and benefit the people, isn't it a good thing?"

"That's it!" Yu Chi Qingqiao, who received Shi Ba's eye signal, echoed with a smile, "I've been running around for a long time, I guess everyone is hungry, let's start chopsticks, if it's not enough, the best thing in the Ping'an Inn is this secret three-color stewed fish head!" He quickly sandwiched some fish meat into the bowl for each of them, "Come, taste it, I guarantee that you are full of praise!"

A verbal battle that almost filled the smoke of gunpowder was revealed.

After the meal, although the rainstorm has not stopped, Yuwen Qiuye still took Yu Chi Qingqiao to the county official to investigate the situation of the landslide, Liu Ya took a nap and got up, and was blocked in the corridor by Cheng Qing as soon as she went out, she glared at her coldly:

"What is the purpose of your joining the Six Doors?"

"I thought it was known that Yuwen Qiuye begged me to enter the six doors, if you want to know what the purpose is, you should ask him. ”

"I don't know what tricks you've used to get the master to believe you, but I won't allow anyone with bad intentions to destroy six doors!"

Liu Ya smiled at the indignant Cheng Qing and said, "I have read the records of the six doors, you were taken in by the previous door master, and you regard the six doors as your home, and no one is allowed to destroy the six doors, I understand and understand, but your hostility towards me is not like this, right?

"You!" Cheng Qing had an embarrassment that his heart had been seen through, and glared at Liu Ya angrily, "You also think too highly of yourself-"

"Do I think highly of myself, you know it in your heart, remember Cheng Qing, if you don't offend me, I won't offend you, but if you have to offend me, then don't blame me for fighting back, and uncover your old scars layer by layer, although I come from your family of merchants who are despised by noble and famous families, but I am not easy to bully, Miss Plum Blossom Villa. Liu Ya sneered:

"Honorable and famous, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, fighting for power, in the end, isn't it all for those five buckets of rice, who is more noble than whom!" Liu Ya bypassed her and continued to go downstairs.

After her figure completely disappeared into the corridor, the door of one of the guest rooms behind Cheng Qing opened silently, and Shi Baht leaned against the door frame, "Where has Cheng Qing, who has always been calm, gone? As the head catcher of the six doors, I don't want to see my colleagues suspicious of each other and fight secretly, since Liu Xian has become a member of the six doors, and the owner of the door personally invited us back to reduce our burden, we should accept her, even if you don't want to accept her, don't resist her, if it is known that we are still so disunited after the reform of the six doors, we will definitely laugh at her." ”

"But-" Cheng Qing secretly gritted his teeth and said, "You don't look at her, who is it that provokes her!Huiguo Mansion!Chongyi Marquis Mansion!Guiyi Bo Mansion!I don't believe that she will have no other thoughts when she stays in the Six Gates! If she only wants to fly up the branches and become a phoenix——"

"Cheng Qing. Shi Ba interrupted with a serious face, "As a colleague, is it too much for you to be so suspicious of her?"

Cheng Qing looked at him in disbelief, "Look! What kind of drug did she sprinkle? Even you protect her like this! Isn't the one who is too excessive? Isn't it Liu Ya? Didn't you just hear her use Plum Blossom Villa to threaten me!"

"This case was specially assigned to Liu by the owner of the door, to see if new clues can be found from the old clues, this matter Lao Kang and I are also involved, Lao Kang personally sent the file to Liu Mansion that day, if you don't come to the door to find fault, how can people poke your weakness? Self-defense and deliberate injury, if I can't tell the difference, what else should I be the head catcher?"

"You!you!How can you hand over my family's case to her?!" Cheng Qing said angrily.

"The owner of the door is just trying, intending that Liu Jian may be able to find the flaws in this case from other angles, and he didn't tell you that he didn't want you to be disappointed because of hope, no matter who he is, his concern for you will not change because of the arrival of Liu Test, don't be prejudiced against her anymore. ”

Cheng Qing pursed her lips stubbornly, "I just can't get used to her disdain for the six doors, but she stays in the six doors!"

**

Liu Ya went downstairs, and saw Ming Gengxiu and Hu Qingqing, as well as Mo Nongxian sitting on the table by the door drinking tea, looking at the sky that was as dark as night, as if it was about to be pressed down, and chatted without a word, and asked, "Why don't you go to rest for a while?"

"We don't have the habit of taking a nap, and we can't sleep because of the thunderstorm. Hu said clearly.

"It's you, why did you sleep for so long?" Ming Gengxiu handed her a cup of tea.

"It's too noisy, too. Liu Ya beckoned Xiao Er to ask for a few plates of pastries, and said to Mo Nong, "The letter of appointment of the champion has come down?"

Mo Nong bowed his head, "When I left Beijing and went to the Peach Blossom Spring, I had already come down." "I wanted to have a good time and then take office in Fenggang Town, but when I fell asleep after drinking, so many things happened in the Murong family, which is really embarrassing, thinking of Murong Jiang, who is as gentle and elegant as a fairy, my heart moved, and I was gently pricked by a needle.

"Fenggang Town is a place with good mountains and rivers to raise people, and it shouldn't be too sad for you to be an official there. Liu Ya smiled.

Hu Qingqing also smiled, "Being able to be sent to Fenggang Town proves that Your Majesty still values this champion very much." "After all, the list and tanhua who have made a name for themselves in the new science examination have been removed because of their own reasons, and the rest is not leisurely, if it is thrown into a barren place and boiled down, it will be worth the loss.

"Are you really not going with me?" Mo Nongxian went back to the beginning of the topic just now.

"You went to Fenggang to study, why are we joining in this fun? I finally finished my studies from the school, but I don't want to be controlled to go to bed early and get up early. Ming Gengxiu grinned and patted Mo Nongxian's shoulder and said, "You, try to be a good official, let's seriously taste the wind and snow in Beijing, if you encounter anything interesting, it is enough to send a letter to tell you one, two, three, four, five." ”

Hu Qingqing patted Mo Nongxian's other shoulder, "Don't worry, the send-off banquet will still help you make a good appearance, so that you won't think about us in Fenggang in the future, so you can only hide and cry secretly-"

"Go, go, who would think that you would have to cry secretly!" Mo Nongxian slapped their hands away unceremoniously, and while laughing, Yu Chiqing Qiao came back in a hurry, and said to them without caring about the water on his face:

"The landslide situation is more serious than imagined, and several small villages at the foot of the mountain have all been buried in it! Even the county government of the neighboring town has dispatched manpower, and in such weather, ordinary people can't help, and a few of you who are skilled in martial arts have called the head catcher and Cheng Qing to help one or two, and I will go back to my home to move some people over!" Before the words fell, he rushed into the dark rain curtain.

Hu Qingqing hurriedly rushed upstairs to call Shi Baht and Cheng Qing, how did he know that just as he was about to go downstairs, he saw Liu Ya hurriedly coming out of the guest room with the medicine box on his back, he frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

"I'm going too—"

"No!" Without waiting for Shi Bao to refuse Liu Ya's kindness, Hu Qingqing had categorically refused, "You don't know any martial arts, and the injuries on your body have not completely healed, if you are drenched in such bad weather, your body and bones will definitely not be able to stand it, if you leave any sequelae, how can you regret taking the medicine?"

"The landslide is falling, life and death are only a thin line, I'm a doctor, if I'm here-"

"There must already be other doctors on standby, cooperate with the rescue, don't make trouble, wait for us at the inn obediently!"

"Can other doctors compare to me?" Liu Ya said insistingly, she was more worried about them who went to help.

At this time, Ming Gengxiu, who saw that they hadn't gone downstairs for a long time, came up to check on him, and said, "Let her go with her, I'll protect it—"

"Such a dangerous thing, how can you Ming Shizi be able to mess around willfully with a word of protection-" Cheng Qing interrupted dissatisfiedly, but only halfway through the words, he was blocked by the sound of the first guest room door in the corridor on the other side, deliberately opening hard, only to see Xi Shiye and the three guard-like little servants come out, and said with a slight smile:

"I'm sorry, I overheard your conversation just now, don't you mind if we also participate in the rescue?"

Shi Ba made a dozen calculations and laughed busily, "Of course I don't mind!" turned to Hu Mingming and said, "Don't quarrel, if you drag it out, the people who are suppressed are really dangerous, Liu's medical skills are indeed first-class, if she goes with her, it will definitely help, and her body is petite, and it is relatively easy to protect, so let's go!"

**

The horse galloped, and the bean-sized rain hit his face painfully and coldly, and Liu Ya couldn't help but shrink into Ming Gengxiu's arms.

Ming Gengxiu slowed down on the premise of not falling behind, "If you don't listen to Ah Qing, stay in the inn and wait for us so that you don't have to suffer." ”

"I know you are nervous and I care about me, but now in Beijing is an eventful time, if this natural disaster, as a good doctor, if I don't participate, there will be people with ill intentions who use the six doors as an arrow target, and if they are investigated, they will accuse Yuwen Qiuye of recruiting me to the door for love, I don't care about his reputation, but I don't want to be drowned by messy saliva and fulfill others. ”

"I doubt that you are really just a sixteen-year-old girl, and you are too tired to do things, aren't you?"

If there is a choice, who wants to live so tired, but in the turbulent and changeable Shangjing, he is not cautious in his words and deeds, and he is afraid that he will die and he doesn't know, "It's better than being sold and helping the enemy count the money, right?"

As he spoke, he had reached the edge of the landslide, and the torrential rain kept washing the brown mud onto the nearby road, and the road in the forest next to him was even more flooded.

"I always feel like it's raining a little harder. After getting off the horse, Ming Gengxiu, who had been pulling the willow buds, frowned.

Pay attention to the willow buds under his feet, he almost couldn't even hear Ming Gengxiu's words clearly, and when he was about to respond to him, a shocked and angry earth-shattering roar came from in front of him, "My mother!" and then Shi Baht shouted with all his might, "Liu! Come and take a look! Here! There are bones!"

This shout through the thunderstorm made everyone's spirits tremble, and they all walked quickly towards the front where Shi Bah was, only to see a few branches at the edge that were almost submerged by the pouring landmud, stopping a human skull that had been washed very clean by the heavy rain of beans, Shi Bah said: "Is it the remains of the mountain grave?" He handed the human skull he picked up to Liu Ya.

Liu Ya took out a handkerchief to wipe the whitish human skull clean, and carefully looked at the umbrella-shaped scars around the eye sockets and said, "Just this, I can only tell that she is a woman, I can't judge the age and time of death, such heavy rain may indeed be washed down by the mountain grave, but you look at her wounds, it doesn't look like they are caused by normal circumstances." ”

"What do you mean 'it doesn't look like it's caused by normal circumstances?'" Mo Nongxian asked curiously.

"It's just some damage that doesn't fall within the 'accident scope' of the collision. Shi Bao replied with a twisted eyebrow, "According to my experience in handling cases over the years, and Liu Xian's implicit expression, the deceased should be the result of serious abuse before his death. ”

"The current situation is unclear, I'll take this person's skull first, and the most important thing now is to go to the foot of the mountain to rescue first. Without thinking, Liu Ya tucked the human skull into a heavy robe, and Shi Bai, who agreed, had already led them forward again.

About a quarter of an hour later, I finally saw the busy Yacha, and the rescue group formed by the people was busy pulling the mud, not far away there was a temporary simple wooden shed, in which on the ground covered with hay, lay a few villagers who had just been rescued from the mud, and two middle-aged doctors were urgently and orderly treating them.

Lord Feng, the county magistrate of White Horse Town, hurriedly came out of the mud pile to greet them, and after thanking them, he said, "King Ye just went to the front to check." At this time, the county officials of the neighboring town helped them, and he led them to the mud pile that had been pulled into a very mess, distressed and sad, "According to the records, there are thirty-three people living here, and only five people have been rescued now.

So, Shi Bao and the others joined the 20 strong men of the government and the seven civil rescue groups, and used wooden planks to pull the silt, and Liu Ya, who stayed in the wooden shed, couldn't help but quarrel with one of the middle-aged doctors who violently pushed her away, and the other party pointed at her nose and said: "Little girl's family, what are you messing about?

"You quack! He's not without breath, it's weak!" Liu Ya kicked the other party away unceremoniously, and cleaned up the mud in the man's nose and mouth on the ground with a homemade small cotton swab and a small scoop, and then administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until the man choked weakly, she looked up at the middle-aged doctor who was blowing his beard and staring at the red-eared doctor, "What about the little girl's family? The quality of medical skills is not determined by gender and age!"

"Hahahaha, this way of saving people is unheard of, the little girl is quite capable!" Another middle-aged doctor smiled, "Old Wu, don't black that ugly wrinkled face!

Doctor Wu was almost so angry that his head smoked, and he pointed at the middle-aged doctor and scolded, "You old fool, you will help others!"

Doctor Yang ignored him and smiled at Liu Ya, "Little girl, don't care about him, he has always been so pedantic and arrogant." ”

As soon as the words fell, Dr. Wu seemed to have been stepped on by the tail, and greeted Dr. Yang's ancestors with a crackling voice, and Dr. Yang was like a cat, still smiling and responding to his extremely ugly abuse, and it took about two cups of tea to stop, and Dr. Yang threw a water bladder to Dr. Wu and said, "Rest quickly." ”

Dr. Wu snorted coldly and took it and drank it.

Liu Ya was amused by their rough friendship, in exchange for Dr. Wu's sophisticated and ruthless eyes, at this time several officials carried a man and a woman in, he sneered and said, "You are so capable, you go and take a look!"

Doctor Yang wanted to despise his old friend for a few words, but saw that Liu Ya had already squatted down to seriously diagnose and treat the man and woman, and in addition to asking, a set of procedures was rigorous and focused, and the scratches on the woman's hands were properly handled meticulously and neatly, so that Dr. Wu, whose face was still not good-looking, said:

"Look at it, look at it, how can there be such a little girl who is not afraid of dirty, and does her work neatly and neatly, and she is still angry! We were going to be like her at the same age, with such good technology, so that the master would not have to worry about her hair falling out and dying~"

"It's noisy, I shouldn't have agreed to come here today, listen to you buzzing in my ears!" Dr. Wu's face darkened again.

Doctor Yang's schadenfreude was just about to overflow, and a flowing figure that could not be concealed by a heavy and ugly coat quickly passed him and Dr. Wu with a splash, and picked up the willow buds like chickens:

"Do you know that the landslide is in danger of falling again at any time?"

"Yes. Willow Ya struggled to break free of his grip.

"Then you're still here?" Yuwen Qiuye gritted his teeth.

The rain seemed to be getting lighter, and Liu Ya looked at him who was in a mess and said, "It's not because of you!"
