Chapter 9: Trouble with a Conscience

Maybe he didn't want to get involved in things that had nothing to do with him in his heart, or maybe he didn't trust Ming Xuan, Nian Jiang didn't go out to look for it again, but returned to the inn and slept until dawn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Before going to bed, Ming Xuan's appearance flashed in his mind, and he was indifferent and worried, thinking that he might regret it in the future, or he would be happy, but it had nothing to do with the present. Nian Jiang's body couldn't hold on, prompting him to fall asleep in a daze while thinking.

"Hmm......" Nian Jiang rubbed his eyes and rolled over. There was a commotion below, and the noise woke him up from his dream, but he was stabbed by the bright light as soon as he opened his eyes, and when he came back, he found that the sky was bright, and he didn't put down the tent before, and the window paper couldn't block the sunlight at all.

As soon as I woke up, after a moment of peace, there was a heavy burden on my heart.

Thinking of his state, Nian Jiang's heart sank.

After a simple period, Nian Jiang came out of the room. The noise just now came from the backyard, and he planned to go to the lobby to ask the shopkeeper.

As soon as I got out of the stairs, I saw that the lobby was full of people. Nian Jiang could guess that there were people below, but he didn't expect this small inn to be full, and everyone who didn't have a stool to sit on stood at the door and leaned against the door.

"Little brother, come down. I'm sorry for you. The shopkeeper's voice came out from behind, Nian Jiang turned around, and saw him holding the money jar and smiling a little treacherously, "Please forgive me, little brother, something big happened last night, no, everyone came to me." ”

"Looking for you?" Nian Jiang frowned and wondered.

"Not really. In this Liuzhou, I, Lu Laojiu, am a signboard shining with golden light!" The shopkeeper, that is, Lu Laojiu, spoke with pride in his tone, and his whole temperament changed, from an ordinary boss to a somewhat treacherous intelligence expert. "The big and small things that happened in Liuzhou can't escape the eyes of the little old man. ”

Nian Jiang: "......"

What's the situation, how do you get a good night's sleep, and the world has changed?

He looked around at the people who were standing and sitting, and unsurprisingly saw swords on the waists of several of them.

"Eh, Boss Lu," Nian Jiang grabbed the person walking forward and said, "What happened today." ”

"This one...... Little brother?" Lu Laojiu smiled at Nian Jiang and patted the money jar in his hand.

Nian Jiang understood, took out a few copper coins and put them in.

"That's easy to say," Lu Laojiu shook the jar, and a clear sound came from inside. "You wait for now, I'll tell you in private later. ”

Lu Laojiu glanced at Nian Jiang with a smile, then walked over and stood in the middle of the lobby.

Seeing Lu Laojiu appear, the noisy lobby suddenly fell silent.

"Ahem," Lu Laojiu put on a serious expression, and after he looked around, he said in a serious voice: "Everyone knows my Lu Laojiu's rules, this is under the name of Qingfeng Building, if there is any trouble, it will be included in the Qingfeng Building seal." ”

"You know, you know, Lu Laojiu, you don't have to pose this every time. A Chinese character sitting closer to Lu Laojiu patted the table and said familiarly.

Lu Laojiu glanced at him, and then took out an off-white object from his sleeve, and Nian Jiang fixed his eyes on it, it was a roll of paper.

Lu Laojiu took out the roll of paper solemnly and opened it suddenly, half of the paper was full of words, and there was a green mark at the sign.

He flattened the paper with both hands, raised it with a serious expression, and he circled around, everyone craned their necks to look at the paper in his hand.

"This is a wanted notice issued by the Hengren Pavilion, I hope heroes from all walks of life will pay attention. "Lu Laojiu saw that everyone saw it, put down his hand, and looked at the content on the paper," I read it out:"

"In Mingcheng, Xia Hengren Pavilion, after practicing medicine for forty years, he knows that he has made countless enemies, and he just wants not to harm the apprentices. But the apprentice recently left the Hengren Pavilion after no news, thinking of the disciple, fearing that it would happen to him, now begging the heroes of the world, if there is an old account to find the old man, do not hurt the apprentice, if there is a trace of the apprentice, please tell the fast horse flying pigeon, if you can protect the apprentice back to Hengren, the old man is grateful...... The apprentice's name is Ming Xuan......"

Nian Jiang's pupils shrank.

Ming Xuan!

The events of last night were vivid, and Nian Jiang felt an inexplicable anxiety for no reason, and he couldn't be idle, prompting him to go out and find Ming Xuan quickly.

Later, when Nian Jiang remembered it, he felt that this was a sign that his conscience was awakening.

He ignored Lu Laojiu's teasing eyes and ran out.

After going out, there was another dazedness.

Ming Xuan, where is it?

He thought for a moment and turned back.

Lu Laojiu was still reading the contents of the paper: "...... The old man promised to make a miracle medicine for his benefactor!"

There was a sound of inhaling all around, and then the discussion grew louder.

I thought that only the saints and poison doctors in the world would dare to boast about this sea mouth......

"Tsk, this old doctor Ming is a medical saint, what can't be done..."

"This Mingcheng should really be a love disciple, this miracle medicine in the world is robbed by thousands of people, and a few lives are not enough. ”

“......”

The hall became noisy again, and countless words that sounded fresh to Nian Jiang kept blooming in Nian Jiang's ears, but Nian Jiang had no intention of scrupling at this time, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Lao Jiu.

Lu Laojiu saw that everyone in the audience was discussing the world's miracle medicine and Mingcheng's love for disciples, Lu Laojiu smiled, put away the paper and walked back.

He lifted the curtain and entered the backyard only a few steps before he was stopped by a shout.

"Boss Lu, what did you say you were going to tell me just now?" Nian Jiang followed, and after entering the backyard, he stared at Lu Lao Jiu.

Lu Laojiu looked at him with a connotative face: "Didn't you go out just now?"

"What do you know?" Nian Jiang frowned and stepped forward to stare at him.

"Don't worry, don't forget that I'm here for information. I know you met Ming Xuan yesterday, what's the matter, your heart is moved? The young man is about the same age. Lu Laojiu's face was not serious, and when he saw Nian Jiang's face getting worse and worse, he stopped it, and then said seriously, "This morning, someone found a pool of blood in the north of the town, and it hasn't dried yet. Last night, at the first watch, Miss Ming Xuan ran to the north. ”

"...... in the north," Nian Jiang muttered, and then hugged his fist at Lu Laojiu, "Thank you!"

"Hehe, little brother is polite. Lu Laojiu said with a smile, and then watched Nian Jiang rush out.

After Nian Jiang rushed out of the inn, he roughly judged the direction and ran towards the north. The people and scenery on the road are constantly regressing, and it turns out that he has unconsciously used a little light effort.

Ming Xuan's appearance kept flashing in his mind, the surprise of the first sight, and the panic and fragility of goodbye......

"Ming Xuan, if something happens to you, I may ...... I have a hard conscience all my life. Nian Jiang muttered. He thinks that if something happens to Ming Xuan, then he will also be very responsible for his refusal last night. Inadvertently caused this girl to have an accident, he ...... It's really hard to have a good conscience, and I feel very guilty.

Soon Nian Jiang left the town, and there was no one outside the town, which quietly expanded Nian Jiang's inner uneasiness.

After running for a while, the sharp eyes of the river saw a touch of red in a patch of green, and there was a fishy smell in the air.

Nian Jiang walked around and saw that a piece of grass was red with blood, and there were traces of knives on the blood-spattered tree next to him. The only part of the entire green meadow was stained with blood, as if it had been splashed, and there were no obvious traces of blood spills around.

When he saw the bright red, Nian Jiang felt that his heartbeat stopped for a second, and then beat violently, and there seemed to be a chaotic sound in his ears.

He squatted down tremblingly, his fingers smearing the blood.

The blood had dried, and rubbing it hard only left a layer on the nails. Nian Jiang sniffed, his brows furrowed.

This blood is real blood, but it actually smells like a thief on it.

Speaking of Ke Yin, Nian Jiang thought of himself, then Chu Ying, and then Ming Xuan. He used Keyin, and Chu Ying also had a smell of Keyin, and Ming Xuan knew him yesterday morning because of Keyin. This is really ...... Nian Jiang swallowed the foul words, his mind turned, and he suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

I know where Ming Xuan is. Nian Jiang secretly clenched his fists, then stood up sharply and walked in the direction of going back.

If that's right, Ming Xuan was where they met yesterday.

Nian Jiang maintained the seriousness of his facial expression, if someone wanted to harm her, he should not miss him, who had seen Ming Xuan, it was better to be careful, and not to do superfluous things to add new trouble to her without knowing Ming Xuan.

When he returned to the town, Nian Jiang ran to retreat and picked up the medicine box. He ran to yesterday's bookstall and looked around without leaving a trace, a little anxious. I didn't see Ming Xuan's shadow.

But maybe he was sloppy, who stipulated that Ming Xuan's actions would be as he thought. If Ming Xuan asked him for help, it shouldn't be wrong. Nian Jiang thought, pretending to pick and choose from the bookstall in a pretend, but his mind ran into the distance. Carelessly, he bought a few notebooks stuffed by the store, and he paid for the notebook and stuffed it into his arms.

While he was anxiously waiting, his sleeve was ripped off, and before he could look back, he heard a familiar voice.

The voice was so familiar that he couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Young man, you're really here. There was surprise hidden in his voice, and it was really Ming Xuan.

She lowered her voice, but fortunately, Nian Jiang's foundation was good and she could hear it.

He naturally turned around and saw a man dressed as a scholar, the man was thin, only a little shorter than him, and he could still vaguely see the silhouette of a girl through the folds on his face. He quickly hid the surprise in his eyes, patted the scholar on the shoulder very naturally, and walked out with him, saying as he walked: "Brother Chu, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you only come today." ”

The two walked out, and Nian Jiang asked in a low voice, "Leave?"

"Hmm. Ming Xuan replied softly.

Then, on the way, people saw two people dressed as scholars walking silently out of town, but one of them seemed to be a healer, and he was carrying a medicine box.

Nian Jiang thought about it and stuffed the purchased book into her arms, and Ming Xuan willingly opened a page with words and put it on his chest, as if he was reading a book before.

The two walked all the way to the outside of the town, and when they identified the five people around, Nian Jiang stopped.

Ming Xuan looked back at him and said for a long time: "The young man is very kind, and the little woman can't repay it." ”

After that, he raised his head and looked at him, with a pair of bright and beautiful eyes on his wrinkled face, and at this moment the reflection of Nian Jiang was reflected in those eyes, just like she only had Nian Jiang in her eyes.

"......" Nian Jiang was a little complicated in his heart, he said, "I don't know if Miss Ming can ...... Do you want me to send you back to the Hengren Pavilion?"

"This ......" Ming Xuan's face turned pale all of a sudden, and Nian Jiang clearly felt the sad aura coming from her, "No need." ”

"Young man, can you let the little girl follow you for a while?" Ming Xuan said sadly, "The little woman is now homeless, and when the matter is resolved, the little girl will leave." ”

"Okay. Nian Jiang hesitated, but agreed, and he added, "Just the reward you worry about me." ”

"Thank you, young man. Ming Xuan was stunned for a moment, the gloomy clouds on his face were finally washed away, and the sun poured down.
