Chapter 222: The Beginning of a New Year
Fang Qing, who had a white face, was wearing cotton clothes and a hairy coat outside, standing by the fire, roasting his hands, and said with a calm face: "The envoy said that he would settle accounts with them later, but I don't know if Commander Zhao has the courage to participate." ”
Zhao Jin was full of horizontal flesh and sneered, and sneered: "Guts, no guts, I am still the little servant I was at the beginning, if it wasn't for the envoy who pointed me out a new path, how could I be today, since the envoy also nodded in this matter, it will be easy to do, we will work together to kill them." ”
"But don't be in a hurry yet, let them relax their vigilance, the cemetery that the envoy has prepared for them has not yet been chosen. ”
"It's okay, I've been waiting for half a year, and I don't care about waiting a few more months. ”
"Okay, then I'll go back. ”
Fang Qing turned around, left the class room, and walked into the snow outside.
The goose feathers and snow fell, and Fang Qing's dark eyes surged with murderous intent, "Xiaohua, I will avenge you." ”
......
In the spring of March, the willow leaves are new and green, the poplar catkins are flying all over the sky, the spring returns to the earth, the grass grows and the warbler flies in the season, the temperature rises day by day, people take off the heavy cotton clothes, and begin to wear thin clothes.
In the courtyard of the house, five people who have been cultivating for nearly ten months stood at the door, looking at the red morning sun, the new green willow trees, and the poplar street with swaying leaves, and said in high spirits: "Let's go." ”
The five of them walked through the street to the place where the announcement was announced.
On the bulletin board, the original announcement of the killing of the former county guard has become a notice of Wenhe's appointment, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has done a good job, and it has been announced to the locality, and now in the entire territory of the Jin Kingdom, the original suppression of scholars will naturally be reined in.
Several people read the announcement and turned to the bounty task release area on the side, which was the main purpose of their visit, looking for evil bounty quests.
It is a little different from the bounty in the town, in this county, it is more about hiring guards and escorting people out, which is generally more suitable for the dart bureau, of course, there are cultivators who are willing to apply, and employers are definitely more willing.
There are also miscellaneous bounties for finding pets, valuables, medicine primers, etc.
Everyone looked around, but they didn't find a bounty task with evil evil, and they were all a little disappointed.
"It seems that no matter what the place is, there are White Tigers in this county, and it is much safer, at least no evil people dare to cause trouble here. Li Zhengdao said indifferently.
"Not necessarily, this one here seems a little strange. Ying Wuxin pointed to a bounty.
Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen glanced at it, and quickly turned their heads away, it was really the content on it, it was too explicit, and they were embarrassed to look at it as women.
Li Zhengdao and Wang Banxian looked over curiously.
The bounty task was a little strange and vague, and the two didn't understand it for a while, and asked, "What does this mean?"
Ying Wuxin said softly: "There are too many times of intimacy, and the wives and concubines can't stand it." ”
Li Zhengdao was stunned for a while, and Wang Banxian was even more stunned, and said, "No, who is so good, I have never heard of this kind of thing before." ”
The two women were even more shy, both blushing, and walked to the side.
Seeing the two women leaving, Ying Wuxin had no scruples and said: "Yes, there has never been such a thing before, but now it is happening, there must be something strange in it." ”
Thinking of the matter of the Red Mansion, Li Zhengdao said solemnly: "Lust is the most tempting for people, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the strength to control, and it is easy to be tempted and used by evil spirits. ”
"Do you still have the two of them with you?" Ying Wuxin said, pointing to the side.
"Listen to them. Li Zhengdao said, walking towards the two women, and after a while, the two women came back with red faces and said, "Since there is evil and evil, we, as Taoist heroes, naturally want to go." ”
Ying Wuxin unveiled the list of bounties, followed the address above, and walked towards the destination, followed by the other four people.
When he arrived at a large mansion, he had no intention of knocking on the door, but the side door on one side opened, and several servants came out and asked, "What are you doing?"
After thinking about it, Ying Wuxin said, "Ah, we are distant relatives of Aunt Jiu, passing by here, I came to visit her, I heard that she has not been in good health recently, did you invite Lang Zhong?
The servants were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and were a little surprised, but they still nodded and said: "Let's go and report, you are waiting here, the specific situation, we are only servants of the outer courtyard, and we don't know." ”
"Okay, let's go now. Ying Wuxin smiled.
The servant went back and ran into the courtyard, where the side door was open and guarded inside.
Li Zhengdao and the others all looked at Ying Wuxin with strange eyes, and said softly: "Didn't we take the reward task?
"This kind of thing, no one wants to say it outside, since it has been said, it means that the matter has reached a very serious point, but this kind of thing is very shameful, and it is very taboo for everyone, and if you say it directly and openly, who will admit it, this servant will not dare to spread it like this. "There should be no heart.
Several people secretly clicked.
After a while, a few servants came back and invited: "Aunt Nine is in the backyard, a few please." ”
The five of them entered the courtyard, and a young maid came to lead the way, and went from the side courtyard to the back, and came to a small courtyard, where there was a pavilion under the big tree in front, surrounded by patches of white yarn, swaying slightly in the wind, and from time to time there was a weak coughing sound.
"Madame is inside, if you have anything to say, you just stand here and ask?" the little maid said, and stepped aside.
Everyone was a little surprised, this person couldn't be seen, how could they ask.
Besides, they are receiving a reward task, not to visit relatives, how can they be finished with a few questions.
The other four all looked at Ying Wuxin.
After the New Year, he was a year older, and the fifteen-year-old Ying Wuxin was a little taller, and his face was also thinner, and he seemed to have the vigorous appearance of a young man, and his dark eyes were a little more agile and cunning.
Groaning slightly, Ying unintentionally saluted to the front and said: "My cousin has seen my aunt, I heard that you have been in poor health recently, and I came to visit, I don't know what kind of disease my aunt is suffering from, it doesn't matter, do you need my cousin to invite a famous doctor for you?" This time, my cousin has brought a medical practitioner from Zhengyang Daomen, who has superb medical skills, and may be able to help you. ”
"Xiao Wu, you have a heart, my aunt's illness is not serious, but she occasionally feels cold and her body is a little tired. Inside the gazebo, a young woman's voice was heard.
"Although the illness is small, but this doctor has brought it, it is better to take a look by the way, she is also a woman, I think there should be no inconvenience. ”
"In that case, let's call the female medical officer in. ”
The maid on the side stepped forward, her eyes vigilantly swept a few people one by one, Sun Xiaoman stepped forward and went out, and the two walked into the pavilion together.
Entering the pavilion, Sun Xiaoman saw a woman covered with a cloak and lying on a chaise longue, her face pale and her eyes dim.
The woman was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and she looked quite handsome, with the beauty of a young woman, but because at the moment there was almost no blood on her face, and her lips were white, and she looked very weak, like an old man who had been sick in bed for many years.
"I don't know what to call the girl?" Aunt Jiu said with a reluctant smile.
"Sun Xiaoman. Sun Xiaoman saluted.
"The girl didn't bring a medicine kit?" said the maid on the side curiously.
"I am a Taoist of Zhengyang Daomen, a chivalrous warrior of the medical Tao, and I don't need a medicine box. Sun Xiaoman said.
The little maid was full of suspicion, but she didn't speak again.
Aunt Jiu said: "It turned out to be Miss Sun, it's troublesome." ”
Sun Xiaoman took the pulse, and a benevolent aura poked out, circulating in Aunt Jiu's body, and her face changed slightly, but she was quickly suppressed.
"Some overworked, Mrs. should cultivate well, so as not to aggravate the condition, now Mrs. does she feel soreness in her back under her shoulders?"
Aunt Jiu's face changed slightly, and she said, "Yes, it's been more than a year, and now it's getting more and more serious, and some plasters have been applied, but they don't work." ”
"This is not an external muscle injury, but an overwork of the internal organs, which needs to be recuperated in order to recover slowly. Sun Xiaoman said seriously.
"Madame raises her like this every day, and she rarely walks the road, how can she be tired?" said the little maid on the side.
"I can only ask Madame about this. ”
Aunt Jiu looked at Sun Xiaoman with a suspicious gaze, and nodded after a while: "Thank you Miss Sun, you have worked hard, Xiaohong, send Miss Sun away, and my cousin, tell him, let him stay in the county for a few more days, and if he is free, accompany him to talk to his aunt." ”
The little maid who called Xiaohong nodded, sent Sun Xiaoman out of the pavilion, and relayed the words to Ying Wuxin.
"Take care of your aunt, my cousin will retire. He bowed solemnly to the front, and Ying had no intention of taking the lead to leave, and the others also bowed and retired, and left the house together.
Standing on the street outside the side gate, looking at the plaque of Zhangfu on the main gate, Ying said unintentionally: "There must be something strange in this, that little maid is too vigilant, and her attitude towards Aunt Nine is not respectful enough, and she is definitely not a personal confidant." ”
Li Zhengdao looked at Sun Xiaoman, "Senior sister, is there any problem?"
Sun Xiaoman shook his head, "Aunt Jiu doesn't have any illnesses, but her body is extremely weak, weaker than a seriously ill person, according to the current situation, she may not live for more than a year, if it is deteriorating, she may only have a lifespan of less than a month." ”
The others were shocked and asked in bewilderment, "Why is this happening?"
Sun Xiaoman shook his head, "I don't know. ”
"Didn't you say that there was something wrong with her husband? How could it be that her body was not sick at all, and there was no such thing?"
Sun Xiaoman blushed a little embarrassed, but still nodded: "No, her body is weak, and there is no lack of yin qi, but she is weak like this, and there is not much anger in her body." ”
Generally speaking, men and women are excessively affectionate, men will lose yang energy, women will lose yin energy, this is the case with men in the Red Mansion, and now the opposite situation occurs here, it is the woman who becomes weak, but the yin energy in the body is not excessively depleted, it seems a little abnormal.
