Bab 173: Chapter 171 Baihezhai
"Where is the thing?" Ye Anyian asked.
Ding Qiu did not take out the box: "The teacher said that I can't give it to you until you have eaten."
Seeing Ding Qiu's serious expression, Ye Anyian raised his forehead.
He is not a child anymore, why would he lose his temper and not eat because of this kind of thing?
"Okay," he said helplessly, "I happen to be hungry too, so I'll eat first."
Zhang Lu heard the sound and quickly took out the warm food in the pot. The four of them sat around the table and started eating.
After finishing the meal, Ding Qiu took a wooden box out of his room and handed it to Ye Anyian.
The box is not very heavy, but it feels very full.
"Did he say anything else before he left?"
Ding Qiu shook his head.
"Brother," Fuzai interrupted, "Brother Jiang told me and Brother Qiu to listen to you, not to make you angry, not to be naughty, and to study hard."
"He also said he would bring us delicious and fun things when he comes back!"
"Yeah." Ye Anyian touched his head, hugged the box and turned back to the house.
Put the wooden box on the Kang table and open it. It is full of various prepared and packaged soups of various sizes.
There is a line of words written on each medicine package, which is the effect of the medicine.
On the top, there is a piece of neatly folded letter paper.
Ye Annian took out the letter paper and unfolded it carefully. There were several pages, and Jiang Zhu had written many words densely.
His hand holding the letter suddenly started shaking, and his originally calm heart suddenly became confused.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Anyian calmed down and then began to read word by word.
Jiang Zhu actually only confessed two things in the letter. One was the commonly used medicines in the wooden box that he had prepared in advance. For each medicine, he wrote in detail the method of taking and the taboos and precautions.
The other one, the earrings he put on Ye Anyian last night, were actually a hidden weapon.
There are three sesame-sized pills hidden inside. If you are in danger, press it with your hand and the machine inside will pop out the pills.
It is effective if injected into the opponent's mouth, nose, eyes, or even scratched skin. The pills are highly poisonous, and those who take them will suffer an attack on the spot and die.
After reading this, Ye Anyian subconsciously raised his hand to touch the earrings, but he only touched them lightly and quickly took his hand back.
Don't touch such a dangerous thing casually.
The rest is all Jiang Zhu's nonsense.
This man was just as talkative when he wrote a letter, promising that he would come back on time and asking Ye Anyian to wait for him at home.
Ye Anyian looked angry and funny.
After folding the letter again, he flipped through the wooden box and found a stack of banknotes at the bottom.
After counting, there were more than a hundred taels.
Thinking about it, they have opened several shops now, and Jiang Zhu earns a lot of money from selling herbal medicines when visiting clinics. Apart from the money they save together, they usually have about the same amount of money for expenses.
With this amount, Jiang Zhu probably left all the money he had to him, leaving only some broken silver to spend on the road.
Ye Annian frowned. He should have prepared some money for Jiang Zhu in advance for traveling expenses, but instead, Jiang Zhu kept all the money for himself.
Feeling slightly uneasy, he closed the wooden box, put it in the cabinet and put it away, then hurried to Jiang Zhu's medicine house.
Sure enough, none of the items in the medicine house had been moved. Only the medicine box that Jiang Zhu often carried was missing.
Ye Anyian clenched his hands tightly, and his nails dug into his palms.
But the person was gone and he couldn't catch him back, so there was nothing he could do.
He could only comfort himself. Jiang Zhu was not an ordinary person. He could give himself a small hidden weapon like earrings, so he would be fine on the road.
"elder brother..."
"Brother Ye..."
Fu Zai and Ding Qiu were worried when they saw him running around this morning, looking a little distracted.
The two children stood side by side at the door of the Medicine House, looking at him timidly.
"Yes." Ye Anyian took a deep breath, and when he turned around, he had returned to his usual appearance.
"You two, what time is it now and you haven't gone to the academy yet?"
"Come on, come on!" Zhang Lu rushed out of the main room carrying two book boxes, "Master, we're leaving now."
"I'm with you." Ye Anyian said.
After being delayed for so many days, he should go to the shop and wooden workshop to have a look. The second sister's child was about to have his birthday, so he also wanted to go and see what gifts he could prepare.
Although Jiang Zhu is gone, life at home must continue.
After sending the two children to the academy, Ye Anyian walked around the town but couldn't choose the birthday gift he wanted.
After wandering around, he entered the Wen family's jewelry store and picked out a piece of fine mutton-fat jade, intending to carve a longevity lock for his little nephew with his own hands.
Wei Mingxiu, the child of Ye Xiaomei and Wei Feng, whose nickname is Yuanyuan, has a round head and a round head. He is very smart and cute. He is now more than two years old.
At the end of the day, after spending some time here and there, it was soon time for the academy to let out classes, and Ye Anyian and Zhang Lu rushed to pick up the two children and take them home.
The days passed like this, and Ye Annian was still not used to it at first, but gradually, with the shop, the wooden workshop, and the homework of the two children, and all kinds of things at home and outside the house became busy, he no longer had the heart to think about it like this. too much.
Only occasionally when a person blows out the candles at night, facing a dark room, or wakes up in the morning and sees an empty pillow next to him, he will still think about when Jiang Zhu will come back.
…
Early the next morning, Jiang Zhu left before Ye Anian woke up, taking only the medicine box he carried with him.
He left a wooden box, an earring, and a hidden secret for Ye Annian.
He drove for three days without rest before returning to Baihezhai on the outskirts of Kyoto.
At that time, Baihezhai was enveloped in a gloomy and depressing haze.
After not returning home for several years, when I stepped into the gate of Baihe Zhai, all the disciples guarding the door were unfamiliar faces.
"Stop, who are you? Why do you come to our Baihe Zhai to do this?!"
The leading boy looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. He held his sword tightly in his hand and stared at Jiang Zhu with a wary expression.
"Little friend," Jiang Zhu smiled. Instead of stepping back, he took a step forward and said, "I'm looking for the beautiful sister in charge of your family."
"You...!" The young man frowned in disgust, "This is not a place for you to mess around. Our deputy master will not see you!"
"Oh~" Jiang Zhu took another step forward, forcing the boy to retreat step by step.
"You, if you come any closer, I won't be polite!"
"My sword doesn't have eyes! I don't care if it hurts you!"
"That's good." Jiang Zhu took off the medicine box he was carrying and rolled up his sleeves. "My little friend, are you going to compete with me?"
Seeing that he was serious, it didn't matter whether the sword in the young man's hand was drawn or not.
At first glance, this man looked like a barefoot doctor with no strength to restrain himself, and he suddenly came to the door for some unknown reason.
If he really takes action and hurts someone, how will he end it? But if he didn't take action, this man would push further.
During the hesitation, Jiang Zhu was already in front of him.
The young man gritted his teeth and drew his sword.
"stop!"
Suddenly a cold female voice sounded from behind.
The young man paused and felt a breeze blowing past him, and a dark figure was already standing next to him.
The person who came was wearing a neat narrow-sleeved dress, with long hair tied high, and sharp eyebrows. She turned out to be a heroic and heroic woman.
"Deputy...Deputy Master."
When the young man saw the visitor, his attitude suddenly changed and his heart became excited.
The woman didn't look at him, but stared at Jiang Zhu who was standing outside Baihe Zhai. She suddenly bowed and saluted: "Welcome to the owner of the Zhai Zhai!"
"Okay, okay, let's go in and talk." Jiang Zhu waved his hand and walked in with a familiarity.
The young man finally came back to his senses and stared at Jiang Zhu's back, his eyes widening.
Their legendary Zhaizhu who has been wandering around is back?
"Ziyu," Jiang Zhu looked at the woman walking beside him, "Where is the old man?"
"In Qiyun Pavilion at the back."
"Okay, I'll go see him."
With that said, she started to leave, but was stopped by Ziyu.
"What?" Jiang Zhu looked at her.
"Thank you, senior..." Ziyu suddenly stuttered, "Thank you, senior, he just fell asleep."
"Oh?" Jiang Zhu thought it was funny, "But Zimo told me that the old man was already in a coma. Could it be that he has woken up?"
"Not yet." After Ziyu answered, she later realized that she had been deceived.
Seeing Jiang Zhu striding towards Qiyun Pavilion, she took a few steps to catch up.
"Zhai Master!"
Jiang Zhu stopped and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
"Senior Xie, he was actually poisoned by... poison."
"Lantern Festival palace banquet," Jiang Zhu lowered his eyes and looked at the stone road under his feet, "So, it was the prince who did it?"
"...Um."
"Ah."
"Or is it that he thinks he can't cure my poison and is afraid that he will ruin his reputation, so he just wants to die with me?"
"Zhai Master..."
Ziyu stared at his back, a touch of sadness appeared on her cold face: "Don't do this."
"Then what do I do?"
Jiang Zhu stopped abruptly, turned around and looked at her: "I don't have much time. Since he doesn't have the ability to detoxify, just go away and stay with Wei Zhihuai, and don't cause any more trouble to me."
What he said was cruel and unpleasant, but it was in a calm and unruffled tone.
Ziyu was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the figure on the pavilion behind Jiang Zhu, a flash of panic suddenly flashed in her eyes.
"Master, stop talking."
Jiang Zhu sighed and seemed to calm down.
After a moment of silence, he whispered: "The poison has already hit my heart. I just want to spend more time with him."
Ziyu trembled suddenly and suddenly raised her head to look at the pavilion not far away. The slightly rickety figure had disappeared.
"Let's go." Jiang Zhu adjusted the expression on his face and turned back.
He raised the corner of his mouth, smiling wantonly again: "Even if it's a master-disciple battle, I can't really watch him die."
