Chapter 406: Like Strangers (Part 4)



Dashan came to deliver a message.

"The leader is very grateful to hear that you have medical officers and medicinal materials. Please come with me."

Wei Xiyin was talking to Chang Ying next door when she received a report from the troops outside and exchanged glances with Chang Ying.

She glanced at the team of guards in the yard. If she remembered correctly, these people were responsible for managing the medicinal herbs.

Those medicinal herbs are afraid of moisture and must be stored properly.

The guards responsible for managing the medicinal materials are very careful.

Wei Xiyin pointed casually and said, "It's you. Be the medical officer for a day. Bring the herbs and let's go take a look."

The guard who was named was confused.

Wei Xiyin comforted him, "If you get sick in winter, it's most likely just a cold. Don't worry. If the condition is really serious, you can look up medical books based on the symptoms."

Those were the only books they brought with them on this trip. They were afraid that someone would get sick, so they were afraid to use any medicine even though they had a bunch of herbs.

There is no way, there are not enough medical officers.

If I had known earlier, I should have captured a medical officer in Hejian County and let them take him away. I would have known that they would have no choice. They should have all been taken to Qinghe County, so that the whole Kang family would be together.

Dashan waited in front of the gate for a long time, and finally a group of people came out of the house next door.

The sky was gloomy and snow was falling heavily. The entire county was covered with thick white snow.

People who went out were wrapped up tightly and their faces could not be seen.

Wei Xiyin tightened her cloak and said, "Please lead the way."

The mountain naturally responded and led the way obediently.

The streets were just like yesterday, with not a single person in sight. It was cold and deserted, with no one around.

The group walked quickly in the wind and snow and entered a large mansion in the east of the city.

Entering the main hall, Dashan stopped and said with embarrassment, "Our leader is seriously ill. I'm afraid he might infect you with his illness. You should wait outside."

Wei Xiyin nodded with a smile and signaled Chang Ying with her eyes.

Chang Ying understood and followed the guards to the backyard.

Dashan naturally followed in, and in an instant, only Wei Xiyin and a servant were left in the hall.

The servant's name was Xiaoshan, and he was Dashan's younger brother.

He was young, still a young boy, and felt a little cramped in the same room with the woman. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet.

There were no servants in the mansion. The leader called them over temporarily and told him to keep a close eye on the people, but he obviously felt guilty and didn't know what he should do as a servant.

Wei Xiyin found a place to sit down, calmly surveyed the layout of the room, and asked him, "I'm a little thirsty, do you have any hot water?"

Xiaoshan came back to his senses and quickly responded, "Yes, girl, please wait a moment!"

I almost forgot that we should offer water to guests when they come to our house.

He hurriedly turned around and prepared to go out to get some water. When he was almost at the door, he suddenly stopped.

The leader said that this girl is very smart and he needs to keep an eye on her at all times...

If he goes out to call for water now, won’t the girl be the only one left in the room?

"What?" Wei Xiyin asked nonchalantly, "But there's no hot water?"

Xiaoshan gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I'll bring it to you right away."

The kitchen is just two yards in front. If he runs faster, it will only take a moment and there shouldn't be any delay.

Xiaoshan opened the door and rushed out like the wind.

Wei Xiyin shook her head and said, "Silly child, you won't be able to find anyone when you come back."

As soon as the figure rushed out of the house, she stood up.

The entire mansion covers a very large area. It must have been the house of a wealthy family in the past. From the main hall, there are two archways on the left and right sides. One is the direction from which the mountain leaves, and the other is the door they came in.

Wei Xiyin walked behind Xiaoshan.

The two guards guarding the door saw the girl coming out and hurried to follow her.

The young man in front was so busy running forward that he didn't notice anything unusual. He turned left and disappeared into the archway in front.

Wei Xiyin walked into the archway and turned right.

Although it was not a good idea to wander around in someone else's house, the fact that even the servants were so suspicious really piqued her curiosity.

There is no doubt at the moment that Chang Ying will probably miss the target, so she has to do it herself.

The mansion is very large. Walking along the winding corridor, there is another courtyard behind the archway.

Wei Xiyin strolled around casually with two guards and entered a courtyard at random.

The courtyard is compact but exquisite. The doors and windows of a row of side rooms are tightly closed. Because the doors and windows have been reinforced for winter, you can't see what's inside at all.

"Is anyone there?" The guard stepped forward and knocked on the door politely.

The sudden sound startled the two gentlemen who were resting in the house.

Knowing that Fifth Cousin and Chang Ying would come.

Uncle Six ordered them to stay in their respective yards and no one was allowed to go out.

Why would someone come here at this time?

The younger man was about to respond, but his mouth was covered by someone's hand.

really.

After a while, the voice of the fifth cousin was heard from outside.

"Let's go to the next yard and have a look."

The two gentlemen were immediately shocked and broke out in cold sweats. They all lived in the backyard, so how did the fifth cousin get here?

Didn’t Sixth Uncle say that someone would be watching?

At this moment, Wei Xiyin had no idea what she had missed.

The door is closed from the inside, so if you wander around randomly, you can always find an excuse to get back in.

There's no explanation for breaking and entering.

They will still live here until the New Year. Others have no ill intentions, and she doesn't want to make the relationship awkward.

Two guards stood by the girl's side dutifully.

The three of them walked around aimlessly, looking into every yard and knocking on every door, but no one answered.

There's a door between them.

The room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
