Chapter 281 Being a child
Xiao Yining failed in the negotiations and sat on the chair angrily, swinging her feet. Even when her fellow villagers were leaving, she did not plan to hold a farewell ceremony.
Pei Yi stood at the entrance of the secret passage, and he had no idea what to do with this irritable kid. Finally, he compromised and said, "If Sister Qing is interested, let your cousin take us to Huichun Tower for a stroll."
Xiao Yining's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly got down from the ground and ran to the entrance of the secret passage and waved, "Don't worry, uncle. For your illness, I will do my best to persuade mother to take us to Huichun Tower."
She has always been good at turning the tables.
Pei Yi chuckled and let her go. "Then my cousin... will be waiting for your good news."
The secret passage door was gently closed, and the two began their acting again.
Xiao Yining sat in the room thinking about it and decided to write a letter to her father. Her father did not allow her to wear the genuine safety lock at the beginning. He must have known that this thing was not simple. She had to let him know the origin of this thing.
But before that, I have to write a letter to my great uncle, summarizing and reporting to him what has happened recently. Putting some things out in the open can make those in higher positions feel more at ease.
Thinking of this, she looked up at the idle 13 on the beam and said, "Sister San, can you help me deliver my father's letter to my uncle? I miss my father!"
13 glanced at her and snorted coldly, "No."
Then she straightened up and explained, "Your father and uncle ran away when they left the city gate, and our people haven't found them yet."
Ran?
Little Yining blurted out without thinking: "My father and uncle cherish their lives the most. If they ran away, it must be because there is a bad person among you. Sister San, it's your fault!"
"Our problem?" 13 sneered and retorted, "We were born and died in the Dark River. We are only loyal to the emperor, so there won't be any problem at all."
Xiao Yining was too lazy to argue with her and just said, "Since my father doesn't trust you, I will send it to him myself."
13 looked down at the little girl, only to see that she had already started to grind ink for herself. He sneered, "This time, without the help of our shadow guards, you will not be able to deliver the letter to your father."
"You'd better find my father first." Xiao Yining retorted.
Before the two men left, they looked for Acacia again and used his medicine to make 66 unconscious for a cup of tea. They took the opportunity to buy ten human skin masks and some wigs for costumes.
It would be hard to find someone who doesn't know them.
But Xiao Yining knew that no matter how far they ran, they would only revolve around Chen Jiaoyi's father and grandfather.
At this time, Zhao Ya came back with food for the night. She glanced at Qiu Yi who was still standing at the door, shook her head, and walked straight into the house.
Soon, a familiar explosion sounded from inside the house. "My little ancestor, look at your sleeves."
A ten-foot-high wall still couldn't stop the roar.
The sound insulation between the two houses is still as poor as ever.
Pei Yi held the book and shook his head helplessly, his nostrils filled with the smell of medicine.
Ever since he came to Hanqiu Courtyard, the courtyard has been filled with a strong smell of medicine every day, telling others that there is a sick person here.
A Da set up the medicine stove at the door and was busy with it. He also persuaded several people who wanted to come to Pei Yi for advice to leave.
Wu Haoran glanced at the eye medicine stove, covered his nose and walked into Pei Yi's room. He looked at the wheelchair under this person, curled his lips, and said unceremoniously, "Last time I saw you moving around without any hindrance, but now you are wearing one."
Pei Yi put down the book, looked at the person who came, and said happily, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother Wu would be the first one to come and see me after so many days. I thought that the senior brothers didn't like me!"
Wu Haoran rolled his eyes and said, "That's because Junior Brother Wang and Junior Brother Lin are too good at pretending. But you're not a good person either. You teased Junior Brother Nalan as soon as you came here today."
Pei Yi raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at him meaningfully. He saw this man took out a colorful doll from his sleeve, put it in front of him, and opened it in front of him. There was also a doll inside, the same as the one outside.
Wu Haoran took out ten nesting dolls one by one, and then he stopped. He pursed his lips and said, "I give this to you because you are young. You are a weirdo. You are obviously young, but you don't like children's things."
"I'm here to study, so naturally I can't bring these foreign objects with me." Pei Yi reached out to put the nesting dolls back and explained lightly.
"But thank you, Brother Wu. This helps me to relieve my boredom when I'm tired." He said sincerely again.
Wu Haoran snorted lightly without commenting. He turned his head and glanced at the door. There was still only one servant guarding the medicine furnace, and there was no one wandering around outside.
He sighed and walked out, muttering, "When I pass the imperial examination, I will move out of here immediately. There are no good people in this courtyard."
A smile flashed in Pei Yi's eyes. He had heard Wang Cheng tell Lin Yuzan about this person. In his dream, this person took the exam five times before he passed. Every time he happened to be unlucky and would become a legend in Yunfei Academy.
This is his second time down, and there are three more to come.
Pei Yi gently moved the nesting doll with his hand. The doll shook slightly twice and then stood up steadily.
He chuckled. Everyone treated him as a child except him.
Then he slowly stopped smiling, turned his gaze towards Linglong Courtyard, and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
Qing Jie'er is obviously a child, but she has lost the innocence that a child should have.
After a moment of silence, Pei Yi whispered to Ada at the door, "Ada, I'll get the medicine myself, you go to the street and buy some things that women like."
Ah Da: ...
He glanced at the medicine that was almost ready, responded and left Hanqiuyuan.
Pei Yi also stood up, accompanied by the sound of bells, and sat on the small stool at the door. The firelight from the medicine furnace reflected on his young face.
"Junior Brother Pei, how long will you take this medicine?"
Pei Yi looked at the person who came and answered with pursed lips, "At least five years."
Lu Tingfeng nodded, with a look of reminiscence on his face, "I was also injured when I was a child. My mother took me to seek medical treatment everywhere for several years before I was cured. Unfortunately, she passed away after I recovered."
"You're better than me. I've been taking medicine for more than ten years."
After hearing this, Pei Yi asked in confusion, "Senior Brother Lu, Doctor Shangguan has been practicing medicine in Yanjing for decades. Why didn't your mother bring you here to see Doctor Shangguan, but instead went around looking for doctors?"
"My mother was not in Yanjing at that time, and she doesn't remember anything about the past." Lu Tingfeng was stunned for a moment and explained.
"Oh, I see. But I guess it was because Doctor Shangguan was not famous enough at that time." Pei Yi smiled at him.
Old man Shangguan's medical skills may not be known to Yanjing, but his high price makes people afraid to go to the hospital, but his reputation is quietly spread among the people. If you ask around a little, you will find out who this person is. He has superb medical skills but no kindness. This is him.
Otherwise, Lin Yuzan would not have been so impatient to find him to check his family's pulse as soon as he arrived in Yanjing.
Lu Tingfeng didn't know if it was an illusion, but he actually saw a hint of sarcasm in the smile of this ten-year-old child.
He looked again and saw the most normal smile.
