Chapter 21: The Mysterious Prescription (I)
Early in the morning of the second day, several people woke up early, and after cleaning up, Dugu Jian took the three girls to the shore and boarded Lao Wang's boat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Lao Wang propped up the sails, left Bixia Island, and headed for the fishing village. While controlling the boat, he praised Dugu Jian with a smile: "The old man really didn't see it, you cleaned up all those thieves by yourself, and rescued these girls, I have lived for most of my life, this time I really met a young hero." ā
The three girls sat in the cabin, and they were also very happy to hear Lao Wang praise Dugu Jian so much, and they kept whispering. Dugu Jian stood on the bow of the boat, suddenly thought of Jia Laoshi's rescue of him, turned his head and replied, "Uncle Wang, you have won the award." I've heard that I've eaten an egg from Jia Laoshi?" Lao Wang was stunned for a moment when he heard him, "Well, yes, that's the case." ā
"Then please forgive the boy, I don't know if the egg you ate was raw or cooked?"
"Of course it's cooked. ā
"Can hard-boiled eggs hatch chicks?"
"Well, of course not. Lao Wang hesitated for a moment and replied truthfully.
"Uncle Wang, what do you owe him?" Hearing Dugu Jian's question, Lao Wang was stunned again, and muttered to himself: "What do you owe him? I owe him...... yes, all I owe him is a hard-boiled egg. The two looked at each other and laughed, "Thank you for your advice, otherwise the old man would have been fascinated by it." Whenever Childe wants a ship in the future, I will go to sea whenever I want. ā
It seems that the strength of the sea has been exhausted by the strong winds and waves of last night, and the sea is calm and the sky is clear. It didn't take long for Lao Wang to control the boat and return to the fishing village safely, and several people got off the boat and thanked Lao Wang. Dugu Jian turned around and said to the three girls: "Three girls, this place is not far from Lin'an, it is a big road, and it is relatively safe, please go back by yourself, I won't send it." ā
How do you know that He Mei suddenly said to Dugu Jian: "Dugu Gongzi, you, can you send me home......?" Dugu Jian looked at He Mei's shy demeanor, knowing that trouble was coming, and had the heart to refuse, but Zhang Linxin opened his mouth to run: "Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west." Dugu Gongzi, you just send Miss He home, and I'll take Sister An away!" said, pulling An Xue, and without waiting for him to answer, he turned around and left without looking back.
Dugu Jian looked at Zhang Linxin's back pulling An Xue away, and thousands of thoughts turned in his heart, but he didn't know how to express it, he just watched stupidly. He Mei gently tugged at his sleeve and whispered a little shyly: "Dugu Gongzi, let's go too." Only then did he come back to his senses, looked at He Mei, and nodded, "Well, okay." ā
Along the way, Dugu Jian didn't want to have any more entanglements with He Mei, and kept walking in front, trying not to speak. He Mei was born in a wealthy family, and she was pampered on weekdays, where did she come such a long way? She was far behind, and she couldn't keep up with Dugu Jian's footsteps? Constantly shouting at him to stop and rest, and occasionally took the opportunity to rest to inquire about Dugu Jian's family history and his relationship with Zhang Linxin.
Dugu Jian noticed something strange from He Mei's shy demeanor, after Zhang Linxin's matter, he didn't want to have anything to do with the girl again, so when He Mei asked if he was married, he said bluntly: "I was a reckless person, living a life of licking blood from the knife all day long, wandering around, and I don't want to mislead people's ......youth."
Hearing this, He Mei didn't know what Dugu Jian meant, lowered her head, stopped talking, and silently followed Dugu Jian to move forward.
Today's Lin'an City has not been closed again, and Dugu Jian took He Mei into the city smoothly and came to He Mei's door. He wanted to say goodbye to He Mei, but He Mei must invite him to sit at home. The two were between prevarications, and it happened that a servant of the He family opened the door and came out, and when he saw the young lady coming back, he hurriedly ran back and invited He Yuanwai out.
He Yuanwai invited Dugu Jian to sit down, and took his family to thank him: "Childe, you are the life-saving benefactor of my whole family!" Dugu Jian resigned again and again, but He Yuanwai took his hand, looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Childe is a talent, and he is extraordinary, it is really a blessing for my family." Dugu Jian didn't know what to do, but he was very puzzled, "He Yuanwai, where does this start?" He Yuanwai laughed and said: "Son, after the little girl disappeared, I made a heavy promise, if anyone can save the little girl, I will marry the little girl to that person, and take all the family wealth as a dowry." Childe rest assured, the old man is just this one daughter, and there is no son to inherit the incense, since he has this promise, he will never break his promise!"
Dugu Jian only understood at this time, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "He Yuanwai, this, this, you misunderstood!" When He Mei was rescued by him on the island, he saw that he was dignified and extraordinary, so he had already fallen in love with Dugu Jian.
He Yuanwai looked at his daughter's figure, already understood her intentions, and laughed, "Don't see the outside, the little girl is like this, she is shy when she is told what is in her heart." Please also go to the Hall as soon as possible, we will choose a good day and an auspicious day, so that the two of you can get married as soon as possible. "How can Dugu Jian agree?" Hurriedly got up and refused: "Thank you for the kindness of He Yuanwai, but it is reckless in the rivers and lakes, since he was a child, his parents died, and he set his father's hatred and teacher's hatred in one, he has no intention of his children's private affairs, and he does not dare to forget the hatred of his ancestors for his own selfishness. ā
Seeing Dugu Jian's resolute attitude, He Yuanwai pondered for a long time: "This, this, how is this good?" But he couldn't force the decision, so he had to give up. He Mei hid in the inner room, heard Dugu Jian's refusal words, although she already knew Dugu Jian's meaning when she was on the way, but she never thought that after her father proposed, he still refused so resolutely, and said silently in her heart: "Childe, Childe, if you and I are a person who has no fate, why do you want to save me......?
Dugu Jian arched his hand and said: "He Yuanwai, I understand your kindness, I wish you to find a wishful husband as soon as possible." There are still important things to do, so I won't bother and take my leave. He Yuanwai thanked him and sent him out of the door. He Mei heard Dugu Jian's words of farewell in the inner room, so she hurriedly chased him out and stopped him at the door, "Childe, you ...... Are you really leaving?" Dugu Jian looked at He Mei's somewhat haggard face, and said: "Miss He, you are both talented and good-looking, kind and gentle, you will definitely find a wishful husband in the future, Dugu Jian is just a reckless man wandering in the rivers and lakes, the girl follows me, she can only suffer hardships and suffers, how can I delay the girl's life?"
He Mei shook her head, "I'm not afraid of hardship. Childe, is the reason why you didn't agree because of ...... That Miss Zhang?" Dugu Jian's eyes appeared in front of her eyes when she saw Zhang Linxin's heart for the first time, her smiling expression like a flower and that faint fragrance, "Miss He, I ......" He Mei didn't wait for him to explain, "Childe doesn't need to say more, He Mei understands everything, only blame creation and make people, He Mei will always remember Childe's life-saving grace, may you and Miss Zhang have a lover and eventually become a family." With that, he hid his face and ran back into the house.
Dugu Jian looked at it in a daze, but he didn't know what to do. Sighing softly, he turned around and left the He Mansion. Standing on the street, Dugu Jian thought about what had happened these days, but shook his head, and suddenly thought: "I don't know if Miss Zhang has arrived home......?" In the future, don't want to. I'd better hurry up and inquire about the news of Mr. Liu's predecessors. ā
He came to Mingyue Tower again, but saw an old beggar sitting on the ground in front of the door, holding a jar of wine in his hand, and muttering while drinking: "Wine, give me a wine ......" There are five or six empty wine jars next to it. Dugu Jian walked over and persuaded: "This senior, you are drunk, ....." Xiao Er at the door hurriedly pulled Dugu Jian away and said: "Guest officer, you don't have to worry about him, he has been drinking here for a day, and no one can get it away." Dugu Jian said strangely: "Man, what's going on?" Xiao Er led Dugu Jian to the restaurant, "I don't know if I don't know." This man claimed to be a man, and the little one didn't understand it, but he came here yesterday afternoon and got drunk. muttering something in his mouth, "lost the prescription", "baby" or something, inexplicable...... "Dugu Jian was very puzzled, "Lost the prescription?" Xiao Er said: "Yes! I haven't heard of a Lang Zhong who will be worried like this if he loses a prescription, these days, there are a lot of quacks, who dares to believe it?"
Dugu Jian sent Xiao Er away, walked to the counter, and asked, "Shopkeeper, I want to inquire about someone." The shopkeeper immediately recognized him as the person who beat Luda with Zhang Rumeng yesterday, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Childe, may I ask, there is really nothing we don't know about the big and small things in the capital." ā
"I heard that the old man Liu of Wuyi Mountain has been in Lin'an Mansion these days, I don't know where to find his old man?"
"Oh, Childe, you can be regarded as asking the right person, Old Man Liu came here to drink with Master Zhang Fengzhang two days ago, and I heard him say that he was going to go back, but I haven't seen him in the past two days, I'm afraid it's back to the mountain." ā
Dugu Jian thanked him, turned around and walked out of the door, and saw that the old beggar was still lying there, and he couldn't bear it, so he planned to persuade him again, but the old beggar turned over, didn't pay attention to him at all, and continued to drink with the wine jar, still muttering "prescription" in his mouth. Dugu Jian was very helpless, so he could only walk away, but he was still thinking in his heart, what kind of medicine could make this old beggar drunk like this.
