Chapter 106 You are in trouble, you have fallen in love!
Shen Yue and Cheng Sijin looked at each other, "Corpse stealer?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two men flew forward and held the old man's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.
"Tell me, why did you steal the body?"
The old man turned around and gave a mischievous smile, baring his gap teeth. "What pretty girls!"
As he spoke, he dove his head to the ground, rolled over and slipped out of their hands, and his hair, which was already as messy as hay, was now stuck with a few dead leaves.
Cheng Sijin was surprised, "Can you tell she's a girl?"
"How can you not see it?"
The old man stood up, scratched his ear, picked up the shovel and continued digging. "The breath of men and women is different. You can tell once you find out."
"Stop, stop, stop! You still dare to dig!"
Cheng Sijin snatched his shovel and asked harshly:
"It's bad enough that he died, why did you steal the body?"
The old man was not afraid at all. "Can't I take it back to the peach forest and use it as fertilizer?"
Seeing this, Shen Yue quickly pulled out a whip, swung it, and tied him up tightly.
"Answer me properly, or the barbs on my whip will come loose and you won't be able to answer even if you want to."
"Hey, hey, hey, girl, spare me! Isn't that enough for me?"
The old man smacked his lips and reluctantly said, "I had a patient who survived several arrows through his left chest. Later I learned that his heartbeat was on the right side, so I wanted to dig up a few more bodies to study and see if they had the same problem. Over the years, I've dug thousands of graves and seen countless bodies in mass graves, but I've only ever encountered one with a heart on the right side."
“…” The corners of Shen Yue’s mouth twitched. It turned out that he was a doctor.
"If you want to study this, why not find some living people and touch them? Why do you have to dig up graves?"
"That's easy to say, but who would let someone feel their heartbeat for no reason? Besides, seeing is believing. You have to cut me open to believe it!"
...Okay.
"Only one in every twelve thousand people has their heart on the right side. You don't need to study it, or you'll dig up all the graves in Daqi."
The old man blinked his cloudy eyes and argued unconvincedly: "How do you know? Have you dug twelve thousand graves?"
"...Anyway, I just know it, whether you believe it or not!"
Shen Yue rolled her eyes at him speechlessly and retracted the whip with a whoosh.
"I'll give you three days to return the body. Don't dig up other people's graves again. Otherwise, I'll arrest you every time I see you! Sijin, let's go!"
"good."
The two turned around to leave, but heard hurried footsteps behind them.
The old man ran very fast, slid to his knees, and grabbed Shen Yue's sleeve.
"Girl, don't go yet! If you can solve this old man's doubts, you will be his master. Please accept my greeting!"
As he said this, he kowtowed three times.
Shen Yue: ???
"Are you sick?"
"I've spoken to you no more than five times, and you want to worship me as your master? I'm not a doctor, you might as well worship her!"
"Don't!" Cheng Sijin waved her hand in disdain. "My master is the Medicine King Zhou Dian. If he comes back one day and knows that I accepted such a thing, won't he be furious?"
"What's so great about Zhou Dian?"
The old man rolled his eyes, and with his withered hands he took out a small cinnabar gourd from his waist and handed it to Shen Yue.
"You are my 382nd master. To avoid my disciple not being able to recognize you in the future, please accept me as your master!"
“…”
Shen Yue only felt a few crows flying over her head, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"DUCK, no need. How about this: if you learn Zhou Dian's whereabouts in the future, please send the information to Prince Cheng's mansion as a reward for my clearing up your confusion, okay?"
The old man heard this and half narrowed his eyes. "Master, why do you have to look for this person? If it is just for medical treatment, I can do it too."
Shen Yue's eyes lit up, "Oh? You can also cure the cold poison?"
The old man's frown deepened. "Cold poison? Master, is this the kind of cold poison that turns your hair and beard white, leaves you with red eyes and fangs, and your entire body covered in ice?"
Shen Yue was immediately excited when she saw how detailed his description was.
"Right, right, right! Can you solve it?"
"Won't."
“…Just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
As Shen Yue turned to leave, the old man said again, "There is no antidote for this poison. Instead of suppressing it blindly, it is better to follow fate."
“Nonsense!”
Cheng Sijin was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and pointed at the old man and cursed: "You damn old man, just because you can't solve it doesn't mean others can't solve it. What's the difference between this and waiting for death?"
"Sijin, calm down."
Shen Yue took the gourd from the old man and said, "I wonder what your name is, disciple. If I want to find you in the future, where should I go?"
The old man raised an eyebrow, "Master, aren't you unwilling to acknowledge me as your disciple? Do you regret it?"
"If we are destined to meet again, I will definitely tell you my name next time!"
After saying that, he leaped up to the top of the tree and disappeared without a trace.
"Hey, don't go, your grave hasn't been buried yet!"
Cheng Sijin looked at the grave and slumped his shoulders helplessly, "What should I do?"
"It's okay, I'll do it."
Shen Yue picked up the shovel, reburied the grave, bowed in front of the tombstone, and then rode away on her horse.
She said nothing on the way.
Cheng Sijin couldn't help but ride his horse to her side and asked, "Ayue, you didn't believe what that old man said, did you?"
Shen Yue's face was solemn. "That old man said that there is no antidote for this poison. Does that mean that even if we find the Medicine King, he won't be able to make an antidote?"
"No. The Empress said that my master is a supreme doctor and there is no poison he cannot cure. She has issued notices everywhere, saying that she is terminally ill. The master will not watch his disciple die, right? I believe he will show up soon."
Shen Yue heaved a sigh of relief after hearing her say this.
"That's good. Before that, I will practice hard so that my blood will be more effective."
“Tsk tsk tsk!”
Cheng Sijin narrowed her eyes and looked at her meaningfully.
"Ayue, you are in trouble. You have fallen in love."
When Shen Yue heard this, her ears turned red.
"How dare you laugh at me!"
As she spoke, she squeezed her belly tightly and suddenly jumped to Cheng Sijin's side, poking her ticklish spots with her fingertips.
"If you like to laugh, I'll let you laugh as much as you want!"
Cheng Sijin laughed so hard that tears almost burst out, and begged for mercy in a hurry: "I was wrong, hahaha! Second Director, spare my life!"
The two horses kept chasing each other, sometimes getting closer and sometimes getting farther away in the darkening sky, and the laughter and noise lingered for a long time.
After returning to the palace, Shen Yue said goodbye to Cheng Sijin and walked towards Xiao Yuheng's study with her things.
Bai Yunfei was on duty on the roof. When he saw her from afar, his face suddenly changed and he flew over to meet her.
"Director, are you looking for your subordinates?"
"Uh." If you say no at this time, isn't it a bit disrespectful to others?
"Yes, I bought some food for the brothers and have had it sent back to the office. You can go back and eat later, dear."
After saying that, she continued walking forward.
"Director!" Bai Yunfei pulled him back. "Would you like to eat with me?"
"Okay, wait till evening."
"No, I want it now~~"
"..." Shen Yue finally couldn't stand it anymore, "Why are you so disgusting today? Get out of here!"
As she spoke, she pushed the person away and walked into the study.
"My Lord, look what I brought you..."
She froze in the middle of her speech.
In the study, a man and a woman were concentrating on playing chess. When they saw someone come in, Cao Songyi turned around in surprise.
"Brother Heng, are all the servants in your house so unruly?"
