Chapter Eighty-Four: What Medicine Is Sold in the Gourd?
"Okay, you're not going, are you?"
actually said that her tricks were bad, Tang Zixi was a little annoyed and angry when he heard this, and said angrily: "If you don't go, I'll go!" After speaking, he really didn't hesitate, and strode over with Ni Pengfei's surprised expression.
I don't know what Tang Zixi said, the shopkeeper was first disdainful, then suspicious, and then shocked.
The two muttered for a long time, and finally the shopkeeper walked out from behind the counter, bowed to Tang Zixi, and raised his hand to take her to the back hall.
Tang Zixi took the opportunity to turn his head and raised his eyebrows demonstratively at Ni Pengfei.
Ni Pengfei looked incredulous, opened his mouth to stop her from messing around, but who knew that the two of them disappeared without a trace, and he hurriedly followed.
When I entered the back hall, I found that there was a cave here.
Behind this is actually a small courtyard, in the small patio, there is a tall ginkgo tree, the dense canopy is like a large umbrella stretched out, almost the entire courtyard is enveloped in it.
At this time, the sky is almost dusk, and behind the thick clouds, there is a faint trace of sunset, reflecting the green or yellow ginkgo leaves, so that the whole tree and the whole yard show a quiet and peaceful beauty.
The entire courtyard was quiet, Ni Pengfei glanced around, and did not find Tang Zixi's figure.
At this moment, in one of the rooms on the left, there was a sudden burst of "giggle" laughter, which sounded a little weird.
When Ni Pengfei heard this laughter, he moved slightly and flew towards that side. As soon as he arrived at the door, before he could knock on the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a strangely dressed girl rushed out, seeing Ni Pengfei was slightly stunned at first, and then rushed towards him excitedly, and shouted vigorously in his mouth: "Brother hug!"
Ni Pengfei was so frightened that he took a few steps backwards in a row, and almost pulled out the saber at his waist.
"Qin'er!" accompanied by a panicked voice, the girl's body was grabbed and pulled back.
"Let go of me, let go of me, kill you, kill you!" suddenly came a miserable howl from inside the room, mixed with loud cries and curses.
Ni Pengfei stood outside the door in a daze, not knowing whether it was better to leave or go in.
Not long after, a woman in a coarse cloth skirt walked out, flew at the frightened Ni Peng, and said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, the little girl scared you!"
"Auntie!" At this time, a head poked out, and when he saw Ni Pengfei, he said disapprehantly, "This is my brother, it's okay." ”
Then a man's voice came from inside the house, "Still not here to help!" and the woman saluted again, and hurried back into the house.
Tang Zixi beckoned to Ni Pengfei and motioned for him to enter. Then he shrank his head and disappeared through the doorway.
Ni Pengfei hesitated for a long time, but still followed him into the room.
The house was spacious, but strangely enough, there was only a lonely bed in the whole room, and there was no table, chair, stool or anything like that, and it seemed empty.
The girl who was dressed strangely before was being held by one arm by two little maids and pressed against the bed together, while the shopkeeper was tying her feet with ropes.
The girl struggled incessantly, screaming and cursing from time to time. Her strength was obviously very strong, and the two little maids were flushed, and they looked like they were trying to breastfeed. But this is a little bit can't hold her down, the two were either punched by the girl, or scratched a claw, and even the shopkeeper was kicked by the girl from time to time. The woman in front hugged the girl's head and whispered softly to comfort her.
The whole scene was extremely chaotic.
Miss Tang stood silently on the side, looking at the girl who was constantly wailing and struggling, and the look on her face gradually became angry. She bit her lip tightly and said nothing.
Ni Pengfei walked over and gently held her hand, only to find that her hands were cold and her palms were full of sweat.
Seeing the shopkeeper panting and tying up the girl's hands and feet, the two little maids breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on their heads, and collapsed to the side panting constantly.
After being firmly bound, the girl was quiet, and looked at the roof in a daze.
The woman lowered her head, wiped the sweat from her face, and began to tidy up her messy clothes again. Then he put a dirty and tattered ragdoll next to the girl.
When the girl saw the ragdoll, her eyes lit up, her eyes gradually became gentle, and her mouth hummed an unknown ballad in a low voice.
The woman took a bowl of brown medicine from the windowsill, walked to the girl's side, and said softly, "Good girl, take the medicine!" After speaking, she scooped up a spoonful of the medicine and fed it to the girl's lips.
The girl obediently opened her mouth, swallowed the potion, and waited with her mouth wide open. A little maid next to her hurriedly put one of the candy in the paper package in her mouth.
Unexpectedly, the girl still had her mouth open, and the little maid looked at the woman with some embarrassment. The woman sighed and nodded. The little girl put another piece of candy in her mouth.
The girl closed her mouth with satisfaction, chirping and sucking, and the satisfied look looked like an innocent child.
Tang Zixi felt sour in his heart, quickly turned his back, quietly raised his sleeve and wiped his tears. As soon as he raised his eyes, he happened to see Ni Pengfei's puzzled gaze, and then he remembered his purpose.
She walked up to the woman and said softly, "Auntie, you feed Sister Qin'er medicine first, and then we'll go out!"
The woman turned her head and smiled gratefully at her, then nodded slightly.
Tang Zixi glanced at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's understanding immediately bowed down to lead the way.
A few people went out, bypassing the tall ginkgo trees and walking to a door.
The shopkeeper bowed to Tang Zixi and said, "Miss Tang, Mr. Ni, I have wronged the two of you for not greeting you well." This door is their back alley, and it's not very convenient to show up below, so the next thing can only rely on the two of them. Once there, just give it to the man, and he will take you there. After speaking, he handed something in his hand to Tang Zixi, and his tone suddenly choked up, "Whether it can succeed or not, our family of four will remember the great kindness of the two of them." "After saying that, bend your knees and kneel.
"Shopkeeper Wu!" Tang Zixi hurriedly reached out to help, "You tortured me like this, how old am I." How can I stand such a big gift from you. ”
Shopkeeper Wu shook his head and said, "After so many years, I thought that the dog's grievances would not be washed away in this life." The little girl also ruined her life because of this incident. Now I can get a promise from Miss Tang, and I am willing to die even if I am old. It's just that Miss Tang's daughter is expensive, so don't be damaged, otherwise it will be difficult to feel at ease when you are old. ”
Tang Zixi's eyes suddenly turned red, he took a deep breath, and said, "Shopkeeper Wu, don't worry, I have an arrangement in my heart, and I will give you an explanation." ”
Ni Pengfei listened in confusion on the side, watching the two of them play dumb riddles, and resisted the desire to ask.
Wait until the shopkeeper Wu bowed deeply again and left. He grabbed Tang Zixi's arm and asked in a low voice, "Girl, what the hell are you doing?"
Tang Zixi glanced at him and snorted: "Conquer demons and eliminate demons! Didn't I say before, there are monsters here?"
Ni Pengfei believed that she was weird, he thought this girl was weird before, and he also instigated a lot of speculation and analysis. Now it seems that she made up a whole bunch of reasons to drag herself into the water.
What kind of medicine is sold in this girl's gourd?
