The two of them entered the door and went towards the kitchen, only to see Ah Xiu wearing an apron around her waist and standing behind the stove with a big spoon in her hand, which was the spoon in her hand. Yun'er played on the side.

Mei Ruoxue, Chen Fengyi and Duan Zhengyu are fanning the firewood, one of them is a young lady from a martial arts family, and the other is a princess with golden branches and jade leaves.

Mei Ruoxue has exhausted the poison in the scars on her face due to the healing of the holy relic, the ice toad, and with the help of the ointment prepared by Guo Xian'er herself, the scars have already healed, and they are as clean as new, as if they have never been injured, and the black veil covering her face has been removed yesterday.

Several people were overjoyed to see Lin Fengsheng and Zhong Zixuan coming back, and Ah Xiu asked anxiously, "Doctor Zhong, how is my father's injury?"

Zhong Zixuan picked up the gourd scoop and scooped a scoop of water from the wooden barrel and drank it, saying, "Don't worry, girl, it's no big deal, you can recover after a few days of recuperation." ”

Ah Xiu was overjoyed, and said again: "The miracle doctor is really worthy of his reputation, and the little girl really doesn't know how to thank you." ”

Zhong Zixuan smiled and said: "The girl doesn't have to be polite, it's all within the next place." The girl is so skilled in cooking, if you insist on thanking me, cook more for me. ”

Ah Xiu's face turned red, and he suddenly said, "Oh, just talking patronizingly, the dishes are burnt." Hurriedly lifted the thatched lid to check.

In fact, Zhong Zixuan's words are just sincerely praising her cooking skills, and there is no special meaning. Ah Xiu heard it in his ears, but there was a little misunderstanding. It is the speaker who has no intention and the listener who has intention.

Seeing this, Zhong Zixuan hurriedly said: "There is a girl Lao here." He turned his head and said, "Lin Gongzi, let's wait outside, we will have a good time tonight." ”

The two of them sat down in the courtyard except for the kitchen. The old servant Zhongbo served tea, and he saw that Lin Fengsheng and the young master had a similar temperament, and they became a lot more affectionate between words.

At this time, the door of the thatched hut in the south creaked open, and the old woman poked her head out and shrank back, and after a while, she stepped out with her sleeves covering her face, knelt down in front of Zhong Zixuan, and choked up: "Thank you to the divine doctor for saving the old man's life, the old man knows that this disease is stubborn, and he doesn't dare to bother more, so he will leave." ”

Zhong Zixuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him up, and said, "The old man doesn't have to be polite, I don't know if I came to seek medical treatment this time?"

The old woman said: "No, after the old man got this disease, the family disliked me and drove me out, and the old man had no choice but to go to my daughter." How did he get to a nearby village and be hungry, so he thought that people were begging for some food, but they were beaten for no reason, alas, they were all old and miserable. ”

Speaking of this, he said to Lin Fengsheng: "If it weren't for the kindness of the son, the old body would only be afraid that he would have gone to the yin at this moment. After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed again.

Lin Fengsheng was about to get up to help him, Zhong Zixuan had already helped the old woman first, and couldn't help but be secretly grateful, and said: "Seeing that the road is uneven, he still draws his sword to help, not to mention such a reckless evil act of disregard for human life." The old lady's move can be tormented. ”

The old woman was very well-dressed, but she neglected to replace the pulp and washed some tattered and filthy, presumably her husband's family was a rich family. After being expelled from the fierce wind, his miserable situation can be imagined. And Lin Fengsheng and Zhong Zixuan's charity is particularly valuable, the old woman was very moved in her heart, and she hid her face and cried bitterly.

Zhong Zixuan said: "Don't be sad, your condition needs to be slowly adjusted, you can live here with peace of mind." I wonder how you got it?"

The old woman was even more grateful when she heard this, choked up for a while, and said, "The divine doctor didn't dare to hide it when he asked about the old body, because the old body's evil disease was infected by the little girl. Please be merciful and save the little girl. The old body is willing to be a cow and a horse for the divine doctor. "Bend your knees and kneel down again.

Zhong Zixuan stretched out his hand to stop it, feeling a little surprised in his heart, and said, "The old lady must not be like this again, I don't know where Ling Ai is now?"

The old woman said: "The little girl has been out of the cabinet for many years, and she is married in the Shacha royal family. I don't know what kind of sin I created in my previous life, two years ago, I got a strong wind for no reason, and I was finally kicked out by my in-laws. Alas, no matter how terrible Li Feng is, after all, she is also her own daughter, and the old man secretly took her back in pain and secretly took care of her diet and daily life. Unexpectedly, her ruthless father found out and drove her out again...... "Thinking of all the miserable experiences of the mother and daughter, I can't talk anymore, I can't cry anymore."

Lin Fengsheng and Zhong Zixuan sighed in unison when they heard it, and secretly sighed in their hearts that the world was cold. Thinking of the kindness of the old woman, the sympathy increased a little.

The old woman wiped her tears with her sleeves crossed, and said: "Not long ago, the old man received a letter from the little girl secretly, and the letter said that a miracle doctor saw that she was pitiful, and built her a thatched hut in Qingfeng Ridge, and often sent her medicine for treatment...... What a pitiful sight...... I didn't know that the old body also had this disease, so I could only go to Qingfengling to find her, and since then the orphan and widow have been alive. ”

Zhong Zixuan's face changed when he heard this, and he said eagerly: "Dare to ask the old lady, Ling Aike's surname is Wu, and his single name is a Qianzi?"

The old woman was surprised when she heard this, and said in amazement: "Yes, could it be that the divine doctor knows the little girl?"

Zhong Zixuan nodded slowly and said, "Yes, she is a cousin-in-law below, and it was under her that she was placed in Qingfeng Ridge." ”

The old woman was overjoyed when she heard this, wiped her tears with her horizontal sleeves, and said, "Engong is the miracle doctor, it's really good, the old man thanked you for the little girl Xie Lu...... Xie Lu thanked the divine doctor for saving our mother and daughter...... What a nice man......" She couldn't help but be a little incoherent in her excitement.

Zhong Zixuan shook his head and sighed, with a look of pain on his face, and said slowly: "She is dead." ”

The smile on the old woman's face froze when she heard this, and she said in a daze, "What did Engong say, the little girl died?" There was some disbelief in her tone.

Zhong Zixuan nodded and said, "Originally, there was still some hope for a cure, but I didn't want her to suddenly suffer a catastrophe a few days ago." ”

The old woman beat her chest and cried when she heard it, and Lin Fengsheng realized that this old woman was actually the mother of the woman who died tragically in Qingfengling, and the evil disease on her body was infected because she took care of her daughter with kindness, and a sense of guilt arose spontaneously in her heart.

Neither of them knew how to comfort them, so they could only let the old woman vent the sadness in their hearts. Mei Ruoxue, Chen Fengyi, and Duan Zhengyu came out of the kitchen together when they heard the crying, and they were also deeply sympathetic after knowing the reason, and you comforted the old woman from a distance with every word.

The old woman cried for a while, and then stopped, neither asking her daughter how to live and die, nor showing sadness, and said calmly: "It's good to be dead, but it's liberating to die, and you don't have to be tortured by illness anymore, and you don't have to suffer from the cold eyes of the world." ”

After saying that, he smiled miserably and slammed into the stone lock in the corner of the yard.

Everyone only said that she wanted to open it, but they didn't expect that she would kill herself, and they couldn't help but exclaim. Lin Fengsheng's figure flickered, grabbed the corner of the old woman's clothes and pulled it back, and said: "Old lady, people can't be resurrected after death, you have to think about it, otherwise it won't be in vain for Doctor Zhong's hard work." ”

The old woman was stunned for a moment, then sat down on the ground again, and howled hoarsely.

After a while, Ah Xiu had already prepared a meal, and set a table full of tables in the courtyard, her cooking skills were exquisite, and she was really beautiful, and everyone had a great appetite. Zhong Zixuan also took out the wine that had been treasured for many years.

Everyone warmly beckoned the old woman to sit down and eat together, but the old woman refused to sit down anyway, so Zhong Zixuan had to serve a separate one and send it to her personally, so that she could eat it in the thatched hut in the south.

Zhong Zixuan has an excellent amount of alcohol, and when he meets Lin Fengsheng, he can be described as a confidant of wine, and he has a feeling of hating each other. In the next two days, the two drank and talked all day long, and they were very like-minded, and their friendship with each other became deeper and deeper unconsciously.

In the past two days, Lin Fengsheng has not returned to the government once, and it is really a blessing in life to have a confidant. Ah Xiu came over to cook every morning and evening, and the rest of the time he went back to the palace to take care of Wang Zhengliang.

Official notices were posted everywhere in the city, and Li Baohua also sent all the officials to step up inspections, but there was no news of the suspect Fu Daen.

Mei Ruoxue, Chen Fengyi and Duan Zhengyu were inseparable from Lin Fengsheng, and they also stayed overnight in the Zhong family's thatched cottage at night. The three of them helped Ah Xiu wash rice and vegetables before meals every day, and after meals, they competed to wash pots and dishes, or sprinkled and cleaned the court, and helped Zhong Zixuan dry medicinal herbs in the courtyard, living an idyllic life, but also comfortable and leisurely.

In this way, Li Baohua of the government was sincerely frightened, and he suspected that he was not dedicated enough in some places, which annoyed General Yunlu, and sent people to invite Lin Fengsheng to return to the mansion to live in the government during this time, but Lin Fengsheng refused.

Lin Fengsheng seemed to be absent-minded and had nothing to do in the past two days, but he was secretly anxious all the time in his heart. The Japanese rebel brigade is about to arrive, but the stolen food has not been recovered, how can he, as the commander-in-chief, not have a headache?

Zhong Zixuan saw it in his eyes but couldn't help it, whenever Lin Fengsheng was sad, he took out the wine and drank and chatted with him, so as to distract his sorrows.
