Chapter 217: Onset

After Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu traveled for two days, they arrived at the city of Xiangyang.

Compared to a few months ago, the walls are a little more dilapidated and mottled, and it is clear that after the bloody siege of the city, it has not yet had time to be repaired.

However, in comparison, the popularity is much stronger.

When the three of them led their horses into the city, they saw that the streets were lined with shops, the cries of selling were endless, and the pedestrians were not rubbing shoulders, but they were also endless.

Yang Guo was walking, and when he turned his head and found that the little dragon girl was missing, he was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly turned back to look for it.

saw the little dragon girl standing in front of a hawker, looking curiously at some small red fruits in front of her.

It was a hawker who wrapped hay in a sack at the top of a slender wooden pier, fastened it with a rope, and then skewered a ball wrapped in brown sugar with a bamboo skewer, inserted it on top of the sack, and then sold it to passers-by.

Yang Guo retreated again, came to Xiaolongnu's side, and asked with a smile, "This is a rock sugar gourd, do you want to taste it?"

The little dragon girl hesitated for a moment, she had never eaten this kind of thing, and she didn't know what it tasted like, but she saw that these red little fruits were very small and cute, as if they were delicious, so she nodded lightly.

Yang Guo opened his mouth and asked the vendor, "How much is a string?"

The hawker said: "Two pennies and a string of delicious rock sugar gourds, not sour or sweet, no guests are charged!"

Grandma Sun couldn't help laughing and said, "You little merchant, why are you still singing?"

Yang Guo took out six copper plates, waved his hand, and said generously: "Come on three strings!"

Xiaolongnu got the rock sugar gourd, and then she stepped forward with Yang Guo again.

She took the sugar gourd in her hand again, looked at it carefully, and then tasted it tentatively.

A sour taste made her mouth wrap her lips and frown slightly, but the next moment. Another sweet smell came in, and a smile immediately appeared in her eyes.

Yang Guo looked funny and funny on the side, and asked, "Is it delicious?"

The little dragon girl did not answer immediately, but bit down with her fine teeth again, and ate a sugar gourd before exhaling lightly. said: "It's delicious." ”

Seeing this, Yang Guo was not in a hurry to meet Guo Jing, and took Xiaolongnu to wander along the street.

As long as there are gadgets that Xiaolongnu is interested in or snacks that want to taste the taste, Yang Guo will buy them all.

But after more than half an hour, Huang Thin's back was full of all kinds of bits and pieces, and the little dragon girl finally filled her stomach and no longer wanted to try it.

Yang Guo remembered that there were no gifts for congratulations, so he said, "Auntie, let's pick two gifts and send them." But what should I give as a gift for a baby who has just reached the end of the month?"

The little dragon girl shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.

Grandma Sun said: "It's better to send two 'longevity wisps', which can ward off evil spirits and disasters, dispel diseases and prolong life, and they can also be regarded as a mascot." ”

Yang Guo nodded and said, "It's still my mother-in-law who thinks thoughtfully, so I follow my mother-in-law's words." ”

He inquired from a pedestrian about the place where he sold "longevity wisps", and he went with Long and Sun. I went straight to the past.

It was a shop, and the faΓ§ade was not too big or small. There are a lot of samples in it.

Yang Guo picked for a while, selected two of them, and held them in his hand.

It was two wishful knots, made of colorful silk ropes in the shape of goldfish and longevity peach, which was very pleasing to look at.

After he paid for the copper money, he felt that the gift was a little lighter.

If it were himself. There is nothing to worry about, no matter how expensive or cheap the things are sent, it is just a thought, Guo Jing will not care.

Huang Rong and others will not care about what they think of him. He didn't take it to heart.

But there is still an aunt on this trip, so she must not be disgraced.

So after he left the store, he said to Xiaolongnu: "Auntie, I think these two 'longevity wisps' are a little simpler, let's go buy two more pieces of pearl and jade to tie." ”

Xiaolongnu doesn't understand all of this, everything is up to him, and Grandma Sun is all up to Xiaolongnu.

In this way, the three of them went to a jade shop again.

This time, Yang Guo picked two pieces of white jade engraved with "longevity and 100 years old", which made people embellished on the wishful knot.

After picking out the gifts, the three of them went all the way to Guo's mansion.

When he arrived at the gate of Guo's mansion, Yang Guo informed the people guarding the door of his name and surname, but after a while, Guo Jing had already come out to greet him.

"Later, you're here, but I haven't seen you for months. When Guo Jing saw Yang Guo, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face, and then looked at Wanglong and Sun, and asked, "Who are these two?"

Yang Guo hurriedly introduced: "This is my master and mother-in-law, and I came over with Guo'er to congratulate my uncle. ”

Guo Jing arched his hand to the little dragon girl and said, "It turned out to be a dragon girl, Guo is rude, please come in!"

The little dragon girl returned the salute, and everyone walked inward.

Yang Guo asked, "What about Aunt Guo?" Guo'er brought two gifts to give to the two babies. ”

When Guo Jing heard this, his expression showed a sad color, and he sighed: "Your aunt is sick, and now she is recuperating in the room." ”

Yang Guo couldn't help but be taken aback and asked, "But Doctor Xun has seen it?"

Guo Jing said: "All the doctors I can find have been found, but the cause cannot be found, and now I am a little helpless." ”

At this time, everyone had already entered the living room, and Guo Jing beckoned Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu to sit down.

Yang Guo asked, "How could Aunt Guo suddenly become ill? But what is the reason?"

Guo Jing's face was full of remorse, and said: "I am to blame for this matter, your aunt was unwell a few days ago, so I asked a doctor to treat her with an acupuncture, who knows that since then, your aunt has always felt severe pain in the place where the needle was placed every day, but she can't find the cause, alas!"

Yang Guo said: "This symptom is obviously caused by poisoning, but the doctor was arrested and interrogated?"

Guo Jing said: "I've already asked, the doctor doesn't know the reason, I don't think he should be lying, if he really wants to harm your aunt, he should have fled long ago after he succeeded." ”

Yang Guo thought for a while and said, "That's to be used and framed, but the needles used by the doctor at that time have been checked?"

Guo Jing shook his head and said: "The doctor used silver needles, if he really poisoned the needles, he would be able to see it directly, but when the needles were applied, I was next to me, and the silver needles did not change color." ”

Yang Guo pondered for a moment in his heart and said, "Uncle Guo, can you tell us more about this doctor's situation?"

Guo Jing knew that he was no less intelligent than Huang Rong, and hoped that he could find out some clues, so he told everything he knew.

After Yang Guo heard this, he asked, "Uncle Guo said that Dr. Li's needle was changed by his eldest son?"

Guo Jing nodded and said, "Yes, according to Dr. Li's eldest son, someone paid a high price to see his father's needle, so he took the needle out." After the man saw the needle, he paid a high price to see it for two more days, and gave him a new pair of needles. He thought that he would make a profit or lose by doing so, so he agreed. ”

Speaking of this, he added: "Although there are some coincidences in this matter, the needle itself is not poisoned, but what is the problem?" (to be continued......)
