Chapter 26: The Medicine Garden
Hu Yun was about to speak, but he didn't expect that Zhao Bao suddenly turned his head, stared at him tightly, and said sadly: "Okay, okay, since Qin Shanshan asked you to come, I'll hand over the spiritual grass to you, come with me." After speaking, he ignored Hu Yun, turned around and walked towards the door.
Hu Yun was slightly stunned, he has been under the influence of his father since he was a child, he has a resolute personality, he does things more based on rational judgment, and rarely takes things seriously, and when he sees Zhao Bao at this moment, he is like a three-year-old child, and he feels very interesting in his heart.
The two of them were about to go out one after the other, when the maid Xiaoqin suddenly stood up and shouted, "Childe, wait a minute." ”
Hu Yun stopped, turned his head to look, and saw Xiaoqin looking at him with blank eyes, and said, "Childe, you ...... Take me with you. I...... I" said and looked at Zhao Bao with a look of fear on his face.
Zhao Bao turned his head slightly deliberately, and sneered: "Brother Tai is really a blessing, this little girl seems to be going to follow you." Well, as long as you open your mouth, how about I give this maid to you? Otherwise, after you leave, see how I buy this little girl. ”
Hu Yun thought to himself: "This Zhao Baoke is really sinister, with this weak little girl, I don't want to escape from this Zhao Jiabao tonight." I wanted to say no, but seeing Xiaoqin's thin clothes and pitiful, her eyes were full of pleading, but she didn't know how to say it when the words came to her mouth.
Seeing Zhao Bao's sneering face in a blink of an eye, Hu Yun gradually moved to kill in his heart, thinking: "Before I leave, I will slaughter you kid and see how you spoil the girl." But his face was silent, and he said lightly: "It's so good, I'm short of laundry and cooking, and the maid who makes the bed and folds the quilt, and the little qin girl follows me just right." Zhao Gongzi, hurry up. As he spoke, he beckoned to Xiaoqin
Xiaoqin didn't expect Hu Yun to agree, she couldn't believe it for a while, and after being slightly stunned, she hurriedly followed Hu Yun and walked down the attic together.
Hu Yun followed Zhao Bao closely, hid the dagger in his sleeve, and put it against Zhao Bao's waist, and the three of them walked along the path towards the depths of the backyard.
Zhao Bao had an indifferent expression on his face and said, "You don't have to be so nervous, I said that I would give you this spirit grass, and I will definitely cooperate." ”
Hu Yun smiled slightly, held the dagger in his hand tighter, and said: "Compared to Zhao Gongzi's mouth, I am willing to believe in the dagger in my hand." ”
Zhao Bao smiled and didn't speak. After walking for a while, Zhao Bao suddenly asked, "Cousin...... Hmm, Qin Shanshan, how is she now?"
Hu Yun always looked at the six roads, silently remembered the surrounding terrain and roads, and replied casually: "Miss Qin is very good now, just ask her in person when I meet you later." ”
Zhao Bao sighed lightly and said, "I...... I'm sorry for her, I'm afraid she won't want to see me. ”
"I'm sorry for her?" Hu Yun was slightly stunned, and looked at Xiaoqin with deep meaning.
That Xiaoqin suddenly thought that she was almost slighted by Zhao Bao just now, and her face turned red.
Zhao Bao suddenly stopped and said angrily: "What are you thinking? The reason why I gave you the Sancai Spiritual Grass is entirely because of my cousin, if you dare to blaspheme her, even if I die immediately, I will not give you the Spiritual Grass." ”
Hu Yun shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Zhao Gongzi, don't be impatient, I have always been polite to Miss Qin, besides, with Miss Qin's current cultivation, one finger can kill me, how dare I have the idea of blaspheming her." ”
Zhao Bao's face suddenly turned to ashes, and he muttered: "Yes, yes, she is now a disciple of the inner sect of the Taiqing Sect, and I am something." Hey......" sighed and continued walking.
Along the way, they met several groups of patrol guards, and they saw Zhao Bao with the maid Xiaoqin and a strange man, although it was a little strange, but seeing that Zhao Bao and Xiaoqin did not have a panicked look on their faces, they did not come over to ask.
The three of them walked through two gardens, turned a few corners, and came to a large courtyard. Zhao Bao stopped and said, "This is the medicine garden, which is usually guarded by Teng's seniors. When I get here, I don't have much power, I can only do my best, and whether or not I can enter the spirit grass in the end depends on your creation. ”
Hu Yun asked, "Who is this Teng senior?"
Zhao Bao said coldly: "It is the condensate stage monk stationed in my Zhaojiabao by the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, ostensibly to protect the safety of the Zhao family, but in fact, it is surveillance. After saying that, he reached out and knocked on the door, and after a while, the door creaked open inward, and out came a shriveled and thin old man dressed in black.
Hu Yun stood aside with his head down, peeking at it, this old man was thin and small, but he had a deep bearing, a pair of small eyes like beans, and between the rotation of his eyes, he was full of light, which showed that he was a shrewd and capable person.
Zhao Bao said: "Uncle Zhao, I will go to the medicine garden to pick a herb, please tell Senior Teng for me." ”
The old man's eyes slowly swept over Hu Yun's body, and said, "Young Master, Senior Teng was invited by the ancestor to go to the front hall to drink, why don't you come back later." Although he called him a young master, his tone was arrogant and did not show the slightest respect.
Hu Yun was secretly strange, and couldn't help but guess the identity of this old man.
Zhao Bao said: "Uncle Zhao, I urgently need this herb, I will come out when I go in and pick it, and I won't delay too long." ”
The old man smiled coldly on his face and said: "Young master, you also know the rules set by the ancestors, this medicine garden is in charge of the seniors, if you want to move every grass and tree in it, you have to make the promises of the seniors, so you don't have to embarrass the old slaves." ”
Hu Yun saw that the old man's words were categorical, and it was useless to use more words, so he slammed forward and punched him in the chest. He made a sudden move, and the old man was defenseless, and he didn't have time to call for help, so he could only flash his body to the side.
Hu Yun had already calculated, his body was dripping, and he had already blocked the old man's retreat first, and punched him in his vest again.
At this time, the old man had no way to avoid it, so he could only turn around and wave his fist to meet him, only to hear the sound of "click", the old man's arm bones were broken into several pieces, and he just wanted to scream in pain, only to see a bright dagger had been against his neck, and a voice shouted: "Don't move, if you dare to open your mouth to call someone, I will kill you first." ”
That Xiaoqin saw that Hu Yun subdued Uncle Zhao as soon as he made a move, and there was a strange light in his eyes.
The old man fell into Hu Yun's hands, his head hurt and he broke out in a cold sweat, but his mouth was unforgiving, and he said: "Young master, you are really bold, you actually brought outsiders to the medicine garden to steal, this kind of behavior of eating inside and out, if the ancestor knew about it, he would not let you go." ”
Zhao Bao sneered and walked over, "Papa", waved his hand and gave this Zhao Bo four slaps, and Zhao Bo's originally shriveled face immediately swollen.
Zhao Bao smiled cruelly: "Bold minion, what do you think you are, you are just an old dog guarding the medicine garden." Not to mention this medicine garden, even if it is the entire Zhao Jiabao, it will be my Zhao Bao's in the future. What's wrong with me taking a medicinal herb? On weekdays, as the housekeeper of Zhaojiabao, you rely on the momentum of your predecessors and don't take me seriously, today, the master will let you understand that those who are slaves will always be slaves. ”
Zhao Bao had a belly fire tonight, and just took this opportunity to vent it, and with a wave of his hand, he slapped it four times.
A blood mark flowed from the corner of Uncle Zhao's mouth, he stared at Zhao Bao coldly, and said expressionlessly: "What the young master taught me is that I don't know the severity of the old slave, if the young master wants to collect medicine, the old slave will lead the way." ”
Hu Yun knew that this old man was holding back bad water, and now he was compromised, and he would definitely go to the senior Teng to find Zhao Bao in the future, but this later matter had nothing to do with him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and said: "It's so good, there will be a housekeeper of Lao Zhao." ”
Zhao Bao and Hu Yun were on one side, putting Zhao Bo in the middle, Hu Yun put the dagger against Zhao Bo's ribs, and several people stepped into the courtyard door and walked in.
I saw that the courtyard was full of guards, and the shadows under the eaves occasionally flashed the white light reflected by the blades, and the entire courtyard was protected like an iron bucket.
Those guards saw that these people were walking in a strange way, and Uncle Zhao's originally shriveled face was now swollen like a pig's head, and they all felt funny. These guards are all from Zhao Jiabao, and they have nothing to do with Teng Jiaohai, so they naturally obey the words of the young master Zhao Bao, and they don't see Zhao Bao's orders at the moment, and none of them dare to come over to ask.
A few people walked down the hallway through the front yard to the backyard.
It is said to be a backyard, but it is actually a field, more than a dozen acres in size, and it is covered by a transparent diaphragm. The ravines inside are vertical and horizontal, dividing the fields into pieces and planting various herbs that are green or green, red or purple, and the medicinal fragrance is fragrant, which makes people feel refreshed when they smell it. There are seven or eight large trees around the field, and a dozen glowing crystal balls hang on them, illuminating the surroundings as if it were day.
As soon as Hu Yun entered the backyard, he was attracted by the herbs in front of him. He has been studying alchemy with his father since he was a child, and he naturally has a medicine garden at home, and he is conceited that he knows seven or eight out of ten of the herbs in the world, but at a glance, he found that most of the herbs in this courtyard are not known, and he immediately feels like a frog at the bottom of a well.
