Two more days later, Qi Yuan's health had improved a lot. It was also the day when Chao Huan went to the street. She asked Qi Yuan again if she wanted to go with her. When Qi Yuan hesitated, Xiao Pei Zi jumped up.
Got up.
Although he said he wanted to learn to read in the past few days, he was still confused when he actually learned it. The other children had learned four or five characters, and he was still struggling with how to write first. Qiyuan was also very patient and slow.
Teach him slowly, the relationship between the two is not bad.
However, most of the time it was Xiao Shizi who took the initiative to find Qie Yuan. When Xiao Shizi, who had always been carefree, saw Qie Yuan, he would still care about his injury and his walking speed.
Now when he saw Qie Yuan's hesitation, he hurriedly said: "I, Sister Shu, I will go for him."
Chao Huan knew what he was thinking as soon as he saw his flattering expression. He just wanted to avoid literacy. Secondly, he saw that Qie Yuan didn't want to go, so he wanted to go instead of him.
But this time it didn't matter, Chao Huan agreed, but in the end he still asked Qie Yuan casually.
"Are you really not going?"
Qie Yuan was silent for a moment, raised his head, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone, "Well, next time."
Chao Huan didn't force it, but there was a hint of sneer in his eyes when he turned around and left.
Of course she knew Qie Yuan's hesitation and didn't want to involve them? Don't think about it, how could it be so simple? It makes me laugh to death.
The medicine given by Ju Kong Jin can temporarily suppress people's memory, but once the medicine is stopped, those memories will gradually recover. If Ju Kong Jin was thinking about it, Qi Yuan would have to take this medicine for at least three months.
But since Qie Yuan could get out of bed, when Chao Huan gave him the medicine again, he pretended to take it but actually hid it secretly. Chao Huan naturally found out, she just wanted to see what memory Qie Yuan could recover.
In the past few days, Qi Yuan has been disguising himself very well. It is almost impossible to see any difference from before. Even when he is alone, he will not reveal anything strange. If he hadn't hidden a few more pills under the bed, Chao Huan would not have noticed.
come out.
After leaving the room, several children had already fallen asleep. Chao Huan saw a man sitting on the roof. The moonlight shone on him. He turned around and saw a handsome young man with an expressionless face.
He greeted Chao Huan, but Chao Huan shook his head. Then he realized something, jumped down, took her hand, and led her to the roof together.
On the roof, the two of them sat side by side, revealing more of themselves. The night wind brought a slight chill. Perhaps she had pretended to be a mortal for too long, and she suddenly felt a little cold.
"Why don't you continue to take the Soul Seizing Pill for him?" Lian Yunlan asked, seeming to be a little dissatisfied with Chao Huan, his voice was cold.
Chao Huan thought for a moment and said, "Does it make sense? Even if he falls in love with me now, once he stops taking the medicine and regains his memory, he will probably just want to kill me."
Lian Yunlan glanced at her and said coldly: "It doesn't matter, I will kill him before that."
Chao Huan suddenly shuddered.
After Chao Huan became Yan Wuya's disciple, Yan Wuya taught Lian Yunlan for a while because Chao Huan's physique was not suitable for sword practice. It was two months later that they met again. Lian Yunlan was indeed stronger.
But it seems to have become more indifferent.
"Why, does this also mean the end of the day and night?" She was a little confused, but not surprised.
Zhou Kongjin did not reveal all of his plans. He would only tell Chao Huan a stage of the mission. Compared with Chao Huan, he seemed to trust Lian Yunlan who was already under his control more than Chao Huan. They often planned things behind the scenes.
Things that even Chao Huan doesn't know.
Chao Huan doesn't really care about what bad things they are doing. In this plan, she just needs to play her role well.
Lian Yunlan nodded, tilted his head, and cast his eyes on Qie Yuan's room.
He said nonchalantly: "Yes, he has too many variables. What I mean is to kill him while he still likes you to prevent accidents."
This was too ruthless to say, but Chao Huan had no objection.
The two of them talked for a few more words. When Lian Yunlan left, he took a purse and gave it to Chao Huan and left without saying anything.
After he left, Chao Huan opened her purse and saw several banknotes and pieces of broken silver. She was stunned, then suddenly smiled again.
When she first met Lian Yunlan, she pretended to be a disciple of Pearl Fairy, so she naturally had a lot of spiritual stones in her hands. At that time, Lian Yunlan was just a young boy who had just come down from the mountain, and Ji Kongjin pretended to be his master.
, but never gave anyone good things. According to Lian Yunlan, when he was hungry, he had to go hunting in the mountains to pick wild vegetables to eat. He often got injured all over his body, or suffered from asthma and diarrhea after eating something he shouldn't eat.
Later, I got better after being inedged, but I had to deal with food and clothing. I sewed and mended my clothes when I practiced sword practice. My embroidery skills were better than Chao Huan's.
Unexpectedly, now that she was pretending to be a poor mortal, the poor swordsman once gave her money.
She laughed softly a few times, the night wind blew on her face, and the full moon in the sky was extremely bright. Such a bright moon immediately reminded her of that night.
She shuddered violently, and finally realized that she, who had blocked her spiritual power, was indeed an ordinary person, and more importantly...
Lian Yunlan was gone, how could she, a mortal, get down from the roof?
Finally, Aruo, who got up at night, found her on the roof and found her a ladder so that she could get down. Otherwise, the night wind would blow her and she would inevitably get seriously ill.
Aruo blinked and looked at Chao Huan, as if wondering how she got to the roof alone.
Chao Huan touched his head and defended himself in a low voice, "Just now... a big bird came to play with my sister. It wanted to take her away, but my sister was afraid that no one would take care of you after she left, so she didn't want to follow it.
Let’s go. The big bird got angry and threw my sister on the roof, trying to get her to ask for help. But luckily I met A Ruo, otherwise my sister would really have been taken away by the big bird.”
Logically speaking, Aruo, a ten-year-old child, would not believe this kind of deception to a three-year-old child, but looking at Aruo's angry look, he seemed to really believe it.
Then Chao Huan suddenly had bad thoughts and said, "That big bird is really annoying. A Ruo feels the same way, right?"
Aruo nodded and waved his fist, as if he would definitely beat the big bird away if he met it next time.
Chao Huan smiled with crooked eyebrows, coaxing A Ruo to go back to sleep, and then went back himself.
Her room was given to Qi Yuan, and she slept in the room where the medicinal materials were kept. She made a bed on the floor. When she was about to sleep, she saw someone standing by the window.
The figure disappeared briefly, as if it were just the shadow of a tree under the moonlight, but Chao Huan saw it clearly and suddenly felt embarrassed.
It turns out that he was here, saying that, and he heard all those words.
She made up a story to deceive a child and was discovered by someone. Chao Huan suddenly felt her face flush and she huddled under the quilt. It took a long time for her to fall asleep.
Before going to bed, she thought of another question.
If you haven't left, why don't you take her down...
When she woke up the next day, Chao Huan felt something was wrong and her head felt dizzy. She touched her forehead and it seemed a little hot.
Although Chao Huan pretends to be a doctor, just like when she pretended to be Ru Luo, she doesn't understand medicine at all. She may have some experience in using poison, but as for medical skills... she doesn't even know how to cure wind and cold.
This is a bit embarrassing to say.
Chao Huan took out her storage bag, and bottles of medicine were placed on the floor. She looked at them one by one.
Yulu Pill is a sacred medicine for internal injuries. No matter what kind of internal injury, just taking one pill can suppress the injury. Taking it for seven days can cure 70% to 80% of the injury. Can it cure wind and cold?
Chao Huan was a little unsure, but he still took one. After all, it was a pill, so it would not kill someone.
As soon as Chao Huan changed her clothes, there was a "dong dong dong" knock on the door. It seemed that she was afraid of disturbing her. The sound was a little gentle, but it was a bit annoying to keep knocking.
Chao Huan opened the door and saw Xiao Shizi's expectant face as expected.
"Sister Shu, you're up. When can we set off? I've prepared all the dry food." As he spoke, he patted the package behind him, looking like he had everything ready for the morning.
Chao Huan felt helpless and funny, but since her children were expecting so much, she couldn't live up to their preparations.
He just said: "Can you let me take a shower before leaving?"
Xiao Shizi nodded quickly and stayed close to Chao Huan while she was washing up. He looked like that and wanted to help her wipe her face with his own hands.
Finally, after Chao Huan had packed up, the two of them went out under the watchful eyes of others.
Xiaoshizi was very excited along the way. He was at the age of a child and could express all his emotions. When he walked, he wanted to run away.
In fact, Chao Huan knew why Xiao Shizi was so excited.
Chao Huan picked up the pebbles from Liuhong Street. In fact, it was not picked up. He was just temporarily taking care of the child on behalf of a mother.
Liuhong Street is a very famous street in Fuliu City. It is closed during the day, but at night it is bustling with people. Women in thin gauze clothes stood by the window and waved silk handkerchiefs. One of them lost their grip, and the silk handkerchiefs flew away.
, fell on the pilgrim's shoulders, bringing bursts of fragrant fragrance. The pilgrim and the woman met their eyes, and what happened after that was unspeakable.
Yes, Liuhong Street is exactly this kind of place. Those women are called "Yangzhou Skinny Horses" in nice words, and they are called "Skinny Horses in Yangzhou" in bad words, but in the end they are not a good status. Many women have been trapped in this life for the rest of their lives.
There is no way to escape here, you can only wait to be squeezed out of the last value and then die. Some people who are lucky can still meet their beloved to redeem themselves. Those who are unlucky can only give birth to a child for the other person.
Ended up being abandoned.
This was the case with Xiao Shizi's mother. She had a secret relationship with a pilgrim, and even after finding out that she was pregnant, she cried and begged the madam not to have an abortion. She believed that the pilgrim would take her away, but she waited and waited until the peach blossom tree arrived.
The branches grew another foot, but they didn't wait for the man to come again.
She didn't feel that she had been cheated yet, she just cried while holding her young child, but her identity prevented her from raising this child. After six years of age, Xiao Shizi had been given a final notice by the madam, either to leave or to stay.
Be a slave in the building.
His mother chose to let Xiao Shizi leave, and Xiao Shizi has been living a wandering life. Only occasionally he would go to Liuhong Street to see his mother, and his mother would always cry and her eyes would turn red, and she would keep giving him some money and calling him
Live well.
She always said to Xiao Shizi: "Your father will definitely come to pick us up."
But Xiao Shizi never believed it. He saw more clearly than his mother. He knew that her mother had been deceived, but her mother did not want to face the reality and kept deceiving herself. Seeing her mother's tears, Xiao Shizi made up her mind in her heart that she must become a big shot.
, so that the mother does not have to suffer.
Xiao Shizi visited his mother once a month. His mother also knew that Xiao Shizi was taken care of by Chao Huan, so one time, Xiao Shizi gave Chao Huan a stack of money.
Chao Huan collected them, but she had no use for them and kept them all for Pebbles.
The two walked for an hour before reaching the city. As soon as they entered the city, Xiao Shizi couldn't help but take Chao Huan and ran to Liuhong Street. Chao Huan didn't say anything and let him go.
It was daytime at this time, and Liuhong Street had not yet begun to receive customers. There were only a few people on the street. Only a few pilgrims who had been drinking all night were taken away by their own servants. The smell of alcohol all over their bodies made Chao Huan frown.
The building where Xiao Shizi's mother lives is called "Yunbie Building". The name sounds quite elegant. It is considered famous among the dozen or so large and small buildings on Liuhong Street. A few years ago, a famous oiran was born. Unfortunately,
It is now unknown.
When they arrived at Yunbie Building, Xiao Shizi bypassed the gate and walked into the alley. Chao Huan followed him. The two of them walked to a door. This door was not high and was opened for slaves to enter and exit.
Pebbles knocked on the door, and soon there was a sound of footsteps. The man saw Pebbles outside through the crack of the door, and seemed to be quite familiar with him, so he opened the door.
He was a man in his thirties. He walked with a limp, as if his legs and feet were not very convenient, but he smiled very kindly and looked like an honest man.
He casually glanced at the greeting behind Xiao Shizi, but quickly looked away, looking at Xiao Shizi with a charitable smile, "Have you come to see Xiu Niang again? The last time you came was a month ago, right?
At this moment, she has just finished picking up the guests and hasn’t woken up yet.”
Xiao Shizi was stunned. He glanced at Chao Huan subconsciously. Seeing that Chao Huan had no reaction, he coyly said to the man: "Well, I'll come back later. Tell her to wait for me."
."
But the man said: "Hey, it's okay. I guess she just fell asleep not long ago. I asked someone to call her, otherwise she would have gone to bed in the evening and you would have gone back long ago."
Xiao Shizi thought about it, but he still looked to Chao Huan for advice. Chao Huan didn't like this place very much. It wasn't that she looked down on him, but she simply felt uneasy.
But Chao Huan saw Xiao Shizi's expectant eyes. Mother and son only saw each other once a month, so she finally nodded in agreement.
The man cheerfully greeted the two of them and walked inside. The backyard of Yunbie Building was not big. It must have just closed down. There were no people there. There were only a few slaves walking around. The man seemed to have some identity, and those people would greet him when they saw him.
Every time, everyone calls out "Manager Chen".
As we walked along, the man introduced himself to Chao Huan, "I am Chen Jie, and I am in charge of miscellaneous things here. Everyone else calls me Manager Chen."
Chao Huan nodded lightly and said nothing. Chen Jie did not think she was cold and spoke to her enthusiastically.
"A few days ago, I heard that Xiao Shizi met a kind person to take care of him. We are all very happy for him. The embroiderer is also happy. She has wanted to meet you for a long time..."
When Chen Jie said this, Xiao Shizi took the lead and said, "Sister Shu is so kind. Not only me, she also took in other children."
Chao Huan didn't say anything. Chen Jie glanced at her and praised with a smile: "She is such a kind-hearted girl. These children are really lucky to meet you."
Chen Jie led the two of them through the backyard and entered the building through a door. However, they did not go upstairs. Instead, they walked through a path to another courtyard.
As he led the two of them inside, he said, "Come on, come on, the embroiderer is over here." This chapter has been completed!
