The surroundings instantly became quiet, with only the drums of the Wuman clan still beating loudly.
Shen Tianshu was also frightened by Qi Zihao's actions.
Shen Tianshu just saw that the relationship between the two people was not harmonious, and he searched carefully in the memory of the original owner.
When the original owner met Qi Zihao, he seemed to have a pretty good relationship with Li Zian, and he always talked about Li Zian and Fan Yuru.
I often say, if it weren't for playing with you, I should have gone horse riding with Li Zian and Fan Yuru; they never knew to come and play with me... and so on.
What happened in the intervening years, and why did the relationship between the two become like this?
However, this was obviously not the time to ask such questions. Shen Tianshu took out the handkerchief and handed it to Li Zian, asking him to clean up himself quickly.
Yan Laosan was so frightened that he knelt down in front of Li Zian and repeatedly pleaded for Qi Zihao: "Master, Mr. Qi drank too much. He is drunk and crazy. You must not be like him..."
Qi Zihao didn't seem to expect that he would do such a thing, standing there with an empty cup, staring at Li Zian without saying a word.
Li Zian used Shen Tianshu's handkerchief to wipe his face and neck that had been splashed with wine, pointed at Yan Laosan and said angrily: "Get this lunatic away quickly, don't let me see him again, otherwise if he does something else, If something goes too far, I can’t guarantee my own temper!”
Yan Laosan quickly agreed and winked at Yan Heming. The two of them, one on the left and the other on the right, grabbed Qi Zihao and dragged him away.
There was no place for Li Zian to freshen up at this time, and it would be impolite to leave early. Li Zian could only try his best to wipe off the drinks on his body, then sat down again angrily, and said to Shen Tianshu: "Look, this This is the person you insisted on coming all the way to save!"
Shen Tianshu was speechless for a while. Could this be taking his anger out on himself?
She asked tentatively: "When you were young, the relationship between you seemed to be quite good. Why did it become like this when you grow up?"
"Who told you that we had a good relationship when we were kids?" Li Zian pulled at his collar that was wet with wine uncomfortably and said impatiently.
"Qi Zihao said it!" Shen Tianshu said, "When I was a child, he talked about you two every day. But I was too young at that time and didn't know you, so I had no idea who he was talking about.
"He said that the three of you are the best brothers, closer than real brothers. He said that you study together, ride horses together, and practice martial arts together every day. He also said that you even slept together at that time, and you often switched between the three houses. Living in a small place, I feel like I have three families and three sets of parents..."
Shen Tianshu's words also brought back Li Zian's memories. Indeed, as Qi Zihao said, the three of them were as good as brothers. If you offend any one of them, it is equivalent to offending three people. They are all very famous in Beijing.
But since Qi Zihao's parents passed away, everything has changed.
Since then, the relationship between the two people has never eased.
But Li Zian didn't want to mention it, so he just shook his head, changed the subject and asked, "How is Jialin's leg? How long do we need to stay here?"
"There is nothing serious about his leg now. All that's left is to rest and recover from the injury. These can only be done by him. It doesn't make much sense whether I stay here or not.
"I have already told Jia Lin today that we will have another follow-up visit tomorrow and leave the necessary prescriptions. After teaching Qi Fei how to take the medicine, boil the medicine and apply it, we can start our journey back."
In fact, Shen Tianshu was more anxious than Li Zian. It was already mid-May and he didn't know that Mrs. Shen was old enough to have arrived in Yongzhou Mansion.
The return journey from here will take more than ten days, and it will be almost mid-June by the time she returns home.
If Mrs. Shen only plans to stay for ten days and a half before going back, it will be a big loss if she can't catch up.
While he was talking, the dance of the Wuman people finally finished. The ghost master poured a bowl of wine himself, took a sip, and then passed it down one by one.
Because Shen Tianshu was the distinguished guest who cured Jia Lin, the bowl was delivered to her first.
Qi Fei had already warned about this ritual before, saying that it was a custom in the clan and represented the ghost master's blessing, and he had to take a sip.
As the Romans do, Shen Tianshu took the wine bowl, brought it to his lips and took a sip, then handed it to Li Zian.
Looking at the faint lipstick mark on the edge of the bowl, Li Zian accidentally moved to the same position and took a sip. After drinking, his heart was beating wildly, as if he was afraid of being discovered, so he took the opportunity to pass it to the next person. , use your fingers to wipe away the traces left on the edge.
The wine bowl circulated in the crowd, and everyone took a small sip. Finally, it was passed back to the ghost master's hand. At this time, there was not much wine left in the bowl.
The ghost owner dipped his fingers into the wine in the bowl, drew a few dots out of thin air, and finally put down the wine bowl.
Cheers suddenly erupted among the Wubarians.
Shen Tianshu and Li Zian didn't know why, but they also clapped.
At this point, the dinner party officially ended.
After the ghost master and the elder left the table, the rest of the people became much more relaxed. Some left first, and some who didn't have enough fun stayed here, drinking and joking with others.
Li Zian stood up and said, "Everyone is very tired these days. Let's go back early and rest today!"
Early the next morning, Qi Zihao never showed up, and it was unknown whether he had sobered up.
After Shen Tianshu reviewed Jialin, he found that the condition of his leg injury was better than he had previously expected.
The toes that were originally blackened were now washed clean, and the black color faded a lot.
Although I still have some difficulty walking, all ten toes can already move, so there is no need to worry about subsequent recovery.
After having lunch at Xie's residence, Shen Tianshu and Li Zian were ready to leave Juzhou City.
They had to go back to the mountain to meet up with Fan Bingrong. They had started to break camp and pack their things since they received the news in the morning. They would meet up in the afternoon and they could immediately set off back to Wuchang Prefecture.
Jia Lin was pushed by Qi Fei all the way to the gate. Not only did he have people make a lot of dry food brought along on the road, he also specially gave Shen Tianshu a box of medicinal materials that were rare in Da Qi. They were all accumulated by everyone in the village over the years. nice one.
Shen Tianshu declined for a long time, unable to resist Jia Lin's enthusiasm and sincerity, and finally accepted it.
But until everyone had finished saying goodbye and was about to leave Juzhou City directly, Qi Zihao, who splashed wine on Li Zian's head and face last night, was still missing.
Yan Laosan looked anxious and wanted to go back to look for it, but he was afraid that Li Zian would be angry.
Just listen to Li Zian's direct order: "Everyone is here, let's go!"
