Ning Wan finally compromised.
Looking at Shen Jingze who was lying in bed and refused to wake up, she thought about it and decided whether she should play along with him.
Ning Wan didn't hesitate. After taking a look at Shen Jingze, she went out.
The guest rooms in the palace are usually only occupied by believers for two days, and they do not stay for long, so naturally these medicines are not prepared.
Ning Wan planned to go to the pharmacy in the palace to get it.
As for why I didn’t buy it in the system mall, there is only one reason: between free and paid, even a fool knows how to choose.
Besides, since that person was pretending, she naturally couldn't use too good medicine to treat him.
After all, if you get better too quickly, the other party might cause trouble again.
She didn't want people to owe her several life-saving favors for nothing.
Shen Jingze, who was lying on the bed, obviously felt Ning Wan's departure and opened his eyes in an instant.
Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar guest room in front of him, Shen Jingze frowned slightly.
Not hers.
The corners of Shen Jingze's mouth slightly raised: Well, not too stupid.
Looking at the empty doorway.
It seems like I'm going to find a doctor, or...
Shen Jingze thought about it and his hand fell on the wound on his shoulder.
The fingertips fell on the cloth strip, applying slight force.
The bright blood seeped through the cloth and dyed Shen Jingze's fingertips red.
However, Ning Wan did not have a smooth journey when she went to the pharmacy to get medicine.
She had only taken two or three steps when her way was blocked.
When she looked up, she saw Chu You with a sullen face and in a gray robe. Ning Wan shifted her gaze with a guilty conscience and it fell on the pair of shoes at Chu You's feet that were still stained with dew and mud.
Then he shifted his gaze back.
Perhaps it was because elders always had a kind of pressure, and as a junior, Ning Wan didn't have the courage to slip away from Chu You at this moment.
The Chu You in front of him had messy hair and dark circles under his eyes.
He is only forty years old, but looking like this, he looks ten years older.
"I heard from Xiao Si that... you carried a man back from the back mountain?"
Chu You's voice was a little hoarse. Without thinking too much, one could guess that he must not have gotten enough rest last night.
Chu You, the person in charge of guarding the palace, was also the one who adopted Ning Wan and raised her.
The "Xiao Si" he mentioned was Chu Si, who was the fourth child in the family, hence the nickname.
One of my favorite things to do is to go to the back mountain to collect herbs.
Ning Wan was not surprised at all that he could see that scene and told his master about it.
In Ning Wan's heart, Chu You is like a father figure.
Unfortunately, Chu You did not allow Ning Wan to call him father, but asked Ning Wan to call him master.
As for Chu Si, it depends on the actual situation. After all, he is a snitch, and a snitch who likes to exaggerate the facts.
Perhaps the fatigue in Chu You's eyes was too obvious, and Ning Wan's thoughts were instantly drawn back to yesterday afternoon.
Chu You was called away by the villagers at the foot of the mountain.
The person who came to ask for help said that he had encountered some strange and supernatural things and wanted to ask her master to come down the mountain to deal with it.
The first time Ning Wan heard about this kind of thing was when she was seven years old. She was naturally curious at the time, but after much persuasion, Chu You just wouldn't agree.
There are reasons to fool myself.
At first, Ning Wan thought it was because she was too young, and always hoped that she would have the chance to go down the mountain to see it.
Later, Xiaoqi couldn't stand it anymore and found a way to show herself the screen projection, which completely dispelled her curiosity.
Knowing that Chu You didn't want her to know, Ning Wan didn't ask any more questions. She just looked at Chu You in front of her, her fingers pinching her sleeves unnaturally:
"Master, it was dragged back, not carried on the back."
"Don't listen to Chu Si's nonsense."
The physical evidence was still in the room. Ning Wan knew that she could not hide it from her master, so she told the truth and refuted it at the same time.
Chu Si always likes this. Even if something is obviously not the case, when it comes out of his mouth and is recounted, it seems to be true.
"Why do you want to go to the back mountain today?"
Chu You looked at Ning Wan in front of him.
Looking at the dirty hem of his clothes, he frowned slightly.
His hands, hidden in his sleeves and behind his back, loosened, but his tone did not soften. Instead, he continued to ask.
The person who didn't like to move much in the past suddenly went to the back mountain and rescued someone.
Coincidence is coincidence, but the question that needs to be asked still needs to be asked.
Ning Wan had learned the tricks of Zhong Wuyan when there was work to do and Xia Yingchun when there was nothing to do quite flexibly.
When there is something going on, he calls Fourth Brother; when there is nothing going on, he calls Chu Si.
"Go find Fourth Brother."
"The medicine he had prescribed for me was gone, so I went looking for him, but he wasn't there, so I went to look for him in the back mountains."
Ning Wan told a little lie and directly pulled out the person who had sued her and used him as a shield.
The medicine was indeed gone, but she didn't like taking medicine.
But if I don’t drink it, my life will be painful again.
When you think about it this way, it’s an easy decision to choose between suffering for a moment and being in pain for several days.
Chu You nodded and coughed lightly again.
He knew her situation, but thinking of Xiao Si being there, he didn't ask any more questions.
"Do you know that man?"
After asking this question, Chu You realized that he had asked a nonsense question.
Over the years, Ning Wan has only met a handful of people.
If he really was someone he knew, Xiao Si probably wouldn't have come to tell him specifically.
Ning Wan knew the other person's identity, but she couldn't tell him/her about it.
If he told them, according to Chu You's temper, he would probably treat the person lying in the room pretending to be asleep as a treacherous and cunning person and throw him out of the palace.
She didn't care, but she was afraid that the "petty" god would take revenge on Chu You.
"I don't know him."
Ning Wan answered truthfully, and added in an extremely serious tone:
"But he doesn't look like a bad guy." He doesn't look like a good guy either.
Ning Wan added silently in her heart.
Chu You looked at the honest Ning Wan in front of him and felt a slight pain in his head.
It’s not that I think Ning Wan did anything wrong, but I’m a little worried about Ning Wan’s defensiveness.
There are countless people who don't look like bad people but are actually full of bad intentions. It is impossible to tell them apart with the naked eye.
"Forget it, Xiao Si is in the pharmacy and won't be going anywhere else in the short term. Just go find him."
Chu You knew that he couldn't get anything out of him, so he spoke helplessly and moved sideways to make way for the corridor.
