Chapter 12 Visiting the doctor
At dawn, the world is still gray.
Chen Ji sat up slowly from the bed. He subconsciously touched the cell phone next to the pillow, but there was nothing there.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that the world he had lived in was no longer the place within reach for him, but his hometown.
"Wait, shouldn't I be in the yard?" Chen Ji's last memory was the technique of holding a stone beside the apricot tree, but after waking up, he returned to the west wing room, and his clothes were still worn by the clothes last night, and they were torn and torn.
Did the master send him back? Or were the two brothers? Chen Ji could not confirm, and he didn't remember it at all.
At this moment, Bing Liu stayed quietly in his dantian, no longer as fierce as he had last night.
Chen Ji thought: "Who is the reason for this ice flow? The first time the ice flow appeared was from Zhou Chengyi, and the second time it appeared was..."
When the ice flow appeared twice, several people died each time, but ordinary people in Zhou Chengyi's mansion did not produce ice flow, and the dead maid in Wanxingyuan did not produce ice flow...
This time, could it be the fetus from Jingfei who had just miscarried?!
When she thought of this, She Dengke, who was at the end of the bus, suddenly stood up, closed her eyes and said, "Master, you can just beat me to death. If you beat me to death, no one will give you a care for your old age and see you off!"
Chen Ji turned his head speechlessly, and after She Dengke finished speaking, he lay back with a loud bang, it turned out to be a sleep talk...
The rooster has not crowed yet.
Strangely, Chen Ji came back last night when he was ugly. He has not had enough sleep for less than four hours, but at this time he is full of energy and no longer has any fatigue or sleepiness.
Is it the change brought about by the art of ice flow and stone bearing stakes?
He sat on the bed and pondered for a long time, and finally got out of bed and changed his clothes, went to the yard to carry a shoulder pole. The thin young man's figure carried two wooden barrels and walked towards Anxi Street outside the door.
Yesterday, when my family was sending my family to school, Chen Ji observed that there was a well there, and the entire neighborhood had to go to get water there. If you were late, you would have to queue up for a long queue.
When he went out, Chen Ji was stunned for a moment. He saw the black cat in Wanxingyuan squatting on the eaves of the grain and oil shop opposite, looking at him quietly.
It turned out that last night was not an illusion. This black cat was really attracted by the bead in her sleeve, and even secretly chased her outside the palace without giving up!
Chen Ji walked towards the well on the bluestone road in the early morning, while the black cat followed silently on the gray tiles of the eaves, and his eyes never left him.
He was the only one on the long street and there was only one cat on the eaves of the house.
They walked side by side, through the thin fog in the autumn morning, as if they had passed through a long time together.
He stopped, carried a shoulder pole and looked at the black cat from a distance, and said curiously: "Meow?"
The black cat just looked at him coldly.
Whose serious cats are meowing?
Chen Ji didn't respond when he saw it: "Sang Biao?"
Black Cat: "…"
Chen Ji tentatively spread the beads in his hand: "Do you want this?"
Although the black cat was covered in wounds, he still looked at Chen Ji with a noble attitude, without any response, as if waiting for the young man to take the initiative to send the beads.
Chen Ji stretched his hand up.
This time, the black cat stood on the eaves of the gray tiled house, leaning forward slightly, preparing to jump down and take away the beads, but the moment it poked out its neck, Chen Ji closed his palms and put them away.
Black Cat: "…"
It opened its mouth and wanted to meow, but it couldn't put down its airs.
Finally, he returned to his cold posture and looked at the boy silently.
Chen Ji stuffed the beads into his cuffs and continued to walk slowly towards the well. The black cat followed silently, staring at him coldly, and a wound on his eyebrows that had just left last night made it look a little fierce.
Chen Ji stood by the well, shaking the wooden handle and put down a wooden barrel. Just as he was about to shake the barrel up, he saw the black cat jumping off the eaves, coming to the well, and looking up at him.
"Just..." Chen Ji thought for a long time and suddenly asked, "Do you want this bead, right? Let it be for you."
He spread his palms and held the beads in his palms, stopping his intentional teasing of the kitten.
But the black cat just stood on the edge of the well, with the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, as if he was a little contemptuous: I will never be fooled by your dog again!
"Wait, are you laughing at me with this expression?" Chen Ji didn't expect that he could see such anthropomorphic expression on the cat... He looked at the long street without anyone, and finally placed the beads on the ground, and he retreated three meters away: "Let it go there, take it away by yourself."
Animals have instincts. They seem to know what to eat and what not to eat. Even if they are poisoned, they will find the antidote themselves.
Humans lack such instincts, dare to eat anything, and even enjoy eating poisonous mushrooms...
Therefore, Chen Ji was not worried that something would happen if the black cat was eaten. He wanted to know why the black cat was attracted, and he also wanted to know what would happen if the black cat swallowed the beads.
Bingliu's answer lies in this black cat.
Next to the well, the black cat approached carefully, looking at the beads for a while, and then looking at the old traces with vigilance. After a long time, it finally came up and sniffed the beads from the air.
"Eat," Chen Ji looked expectantly.
However, when the black cat opened its mouth to hold it, the narrow and snake-like gray mist in the bead churned violently like a living creature, and the black cat was swept away by invisible force!
"Huh?" Chen Ji was shocked by this supernatural phenomenon. He was very sure that an invisible force burst out from the bead and pushed away the black cat!
The little black cat arched his back and posed in a battle posture in the face of beads, and never dared to get close to him again.
"Why is this?" Chen Ji was puzzled.
As he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves sounded in the distance.
Chen Ji turned his head and saw a carriage running from far to near, shattering the quiet mist. The carriage passed by him, and the coachman rushed the carriage with anxiety, perhaps something important was happening.
"It seems like I'm here to find my master, I have to go back quickly," Chen Ji said, "By the way, you..."
When he turned around, the black cat was gone, leaving only beads lying quietly on the ground.
...
...
When Chen Ji was shaking back to the clinic with a shoulder pole, the carriage was parked outside the clinic. The two horses were handsome and powerful, with muscles all over the body and mane combed cleanly.
The wooden body has canary patterns engraved, and the tail extends to the rear of the car, which is complex and exquisite.
Next to the car, She Dengke was moving some luggage into the car with the coachman.
Chen Ji carried a shoulder pole and asked, "What's wrong?"
At this time, She Dengke couldn't help but feel joy between his eyebrows and eyes: "Master is going to diagnose someone with illness."
"Why are you so happy..."
"Of course I'm happy!" She Dengke lowered his voice and said, "Master will take at least ten days and half a month to walk. We don't have to be beaten or scolded immediately, and we won't be taken to school for school. Are you unhappy? Then we can go to Dongshi together and go to Hongyi Lane... If my third brother helps the nobles organize a meeting, I can take you in to listen to the big show. A few days ago, I heard that the Ma family in Liyuan is coming back to sing the show!"
"Who are you going to see a doctor?" Chen Ji was curious.
She Dengke lowered his voice and said, "I heard that it was the secret spy department of the inner minister who was pursuing the spy in Jing Chao, and arrested several children of the younger generation of the Liu family and were imprisoned in the inner prison. One of them was tortured to death in prison. The old master of the Liu family was so angry that he fainted after hearing the news. Now he is on his verge."
When Chen Ji heard this, he suddenly recalled Yun Yang's smile when he stood in front of Zhou's door. That was his sense of crisis that he could not disperse: "The secret spy department has such great power?"
"That's right," She Dengke said: "Old Grandpa Liu's daughter is the empress dowager of the current dynasty, and his son is the Minister of Personnel. Even if there is such a family, the Secret Spy Department will still arrest you. It is said in the world that the Secret Spy Department can be executed first and then report, and the imperial power is granted."
Chen Ji vaguely felt something was wrong. Even if the Secret Spies Department had great power, it shouldn't even ignore the Empress Dowager and the Minister of Personnel, right?
The two were chatting, but they saw Old Man Yao walking out of the clinic, with a majestic middle-aged man beside him.
Old Man Yao explained to his three apprentices: "I have been away for the past few days. You may not take the patient's pulse in private. If a patient brings the prescription to the door, you can take the medicine according to the prescription. Don't call the medicine the wrong pound and make me lose money. I will count the inventory as soon as I come back. Whoever dares to make me lose money will make up for the money!"
Chen Ji was shocked. He hadn't figured out how to deal with the old ginseng plant. What should I do when Old Man Yao came back to count the inventory?
The middle-aged man who was with him said, "Mr. Yao, let's go on a journey. I'm afraid I can't wait at home, so I have to drag my father back from the capital to see the old man for the last time."
Old man Yao nodded: "Go."
Liu Quxing went up to help Old Man Yao get on the carriage, but saw the carriage swelling away, and the sound of horse hooves stepped on the bluestone road made a crisp sound.
She Dengke exclaimed: "How much does it cost to buy a carriage like this?"
Liu Quxing smiled and said, "You're not aware of it. Did you see the canary on the carriage? This is a fancy style that my Liu family can only use after the second-rank official of the dynasty and reward it by the imperial front. In my Daning Dynasty, even if the people are sitting in sedans, they are more than the rules. How many heads do you have to sit on such a carriage?"
She Dengke sneered: "It seems like you are really from the Liu family!"
Liu Quxing glared at me: "Why am I not a member of the Liu family?"
"Your family is just a branch that the Liu family cannot match. Do they recognize you?" She Dengke asked back: "Although our family is poor, we have backbone. We rely on our ability to make a living on the dock and never compatriots with our phoenixes."
Liu Quxing was angry: "I also went to Mr. Liu's 90th birthday party with my parents!"
"Yes, sit at the servant's table."
"What are you doing!"
Chen Ji watched the two of them striking into the clinic speechlessly. Suddenly, he noticed something strange. He turned his head and saw that the little black cat did not really leave, but hid in the shadows of the scattered eaves opposite, secretly observing them.
