Chapter 72: Meritorious Service (Part 2)



Hongluan presented the things she had found to Jingyi with both hands: "Please have a look, young marquis."

Jing Yi opened the handkerchief and took a look: "Cake?"

"Yes." Hongluan said, "This is the only thing I found."

Jing Yi looked coldly at the two black-clad guards standing beside him.

The two of them trembled! The square-faced man said, "Young Marquis, I really saw it! It is indeed what we have been looking for!"

"What about you?" Jing Yi asked another person.

Another person recalled it carefully and said, "It looks like that to me too."

Hongluan was unhappy: "What do you mean? Do you suspect that I missed something, or do you suspect that I am protecting her?"

Hongluan is a secret guard. She is good at martial arts and concealment, and her alertness and carefulness are beyond the reach of ordinary masters.

She didn't care what the two guys saw. She searched the house inside and out, and there was indeed nothing suspicious on the little village girl.

Jing Yi broke the pancake.

It's just a pancake, there's nothing fishy about it.

The square-faced man was very puzzled: "I did see her put it in her arms..."

Hongluan said calmly: "Maybe you saw it wrong, it's just a pancake."

The square-faced man opened his mouth: "I——"

Hong Luan snorted coldly: "If you don't believe it, go search it again yourself!"

Hongluan was not speaking for Su Xiaoxiao. She was confident in her own search methods and she would not miss any blind spots.

Jing Yi also believed in Hong Luan's ability. If the thing was really on Miss Su's body, then there was no way Hong Luan could not find it.

As for shielding Miss Su, that is simply a fantasy.

Jing Yi waited there until Su Xiaoxiao came out after putting on her clothes, and then apologized to her in person.

Su Xiaoxiao said angrily: "I thought we were friends, but you didn't trust me at all. It's not surprising when you think about it. You are a young marquis, and I am just a little village girl. I am marrying up! See you in the rivers and lakes!"

After saying that, Su Xiaoxiao left without looking back.

Jing Yi hesitated as he looked at the broken cake in his hand, and pinched a treasure bag in his left palm that he had not given away in time, his expression darkened. ——Su Xiaoxiao kept walking back, and when she was sure that she was far away from the sight of Jing Yi and others, her tense body finally relaxed.

She let out a long breath.

It was so thrilling. Jing Yi’s age would have been just a high school student in his previous life, but I didn’t expect him to be so calm and meticulous.

Of course, she wasn't really angry with Jing Yi, but if she wasn't so angry, she would appear suspicious.

She thought she would be exposed this time, but the pharmacy appeared at the critical moment.

Although it was only a moment, it was enough for her to put the token in.

In Hongluan's view, she just covered her chest and felt dizzy for a moment.

Hongluan asked her what was wrong.

She said to Hongluan, "I didn't have breakfast because I went to town for a medical consultation. I'm almost fainting from hunger! I managed to bring a pancake with me, but you treated it as stolen goods!"

Successfully concealed the truth.

This level has been passed.

The pharmacy deserves credit for this.

All in all, she went to the pharmacy four times.

The first time was to heal Wei Ting's injuries, the second time was to treat Mr. Xiang's lung disease. She also gave Old Man Su a bottle of bone-strengthening granules, and the third time was to rescue Aunt Fu.

The fourth time was just now.

Could it be that... the trigger conditions of the pharmacy are various emergencies? What are the criteria? She originally thought that the pharmacy would only appear in emergency medical situations, but how to explain what happened today?

Too many doubts flashed through her mind, and Su Xiaoxiao felt that she needed to figure them out.

Not only because it is a thick and big golden finger, but also because it is the only remaining connection between him and that world.

Maybe one day, I can return to that world through it.

The premise is that her "corpse" has not been cremated——

"The first two times, I was confused, like Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit. I took the medicine out without realizing it. Aunt Fu, I had a strong desire to enter that time, but I tried several times--"

"What are you mumbling about?"

Wei Ting's voice suddenly rang out at the door.

Su Xiaoxiao shuddered and turned to him with a dark face: "Why are you eavesdropping on me?"

Wei Ting knocked on the door calmly: "The door is open."

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

Su Xiaoxiao stuffed the shovel under the bed without leaving any trace, and said, "I didn't dig up your treasure!"

Wei Ting looked at her deeply and said in a cold tone: "Er Gou is calling you."

"elder sister--"

Su Ergou was yelling for his sister at the entrance of the village, and the whole village could hear it, which shows how serious Su Xiaoxiao's trance was just now.

Wei Ting naturally didn't know what happened on the official road. He looked at the exposed shovel and said mockingly, "It seems that you are disappointed that you didn't dig anything."

Su Xiaoxiao glared at him and said, "One day, I will dig it out!"

Su Xiaoxiao went to the entrance of the village and found Su Ergou, who was running around anxiously. "What's wrong?"

Su Ergou said anxiously: "Da Hu, Er Hu and Xiao Hu are missing!"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Why didn't you see me? Tell me clearly."

Su Ergou scratched his head and said, "It's just... it's time for dinner, I told them to go back and eat, and Zhuzi happened to come over to get some water, we chatted for a while, and when I turned around, they were gone!"

Su Xiaoxiao sighed: "I know, I'll go find it, you go back first."

The little guys must not want to be caught by Su Ergou, so they hid somewhere else again.

Su Xiaoxiao guessed correctly, the three little ones did hide and play hide-and-seek with their uncle, and only went back with their uncle after they were found.

The three people's safe range has gradually expanded from their own home and Liu Shan's home next door to an entire row of villages.

In one sentence: Getting bolder and bolder——

The three of them hid in a small pile of firewood behind the Su family's kitchen.

These were the wood that were cut before the snow started. We had originally intended to use them to repair the house, but due to the bad weather we had to put them aside.

The older kids couldn’t get in, but the three of them were smaller, so each one of them could get in.

The three of them squatted in the firewood pile and waited for a while, but Uncle Ergou didn't show up, so they ran out on their own.

Just at this moment, Su Jinniang pushed the door open to pour water.

She saw the three little ones next to the firewood pile at a glance.

The three of them were wearing thick cotton-padded jackets with a layer of blue smocks on the outside.

The overalls were what Su Pangya wore when she was a child. Old Man Su took them out and put them on the three little ones.

This way it doesn’t matter if they get dirty while playing, they can just change their overalls every day.

The three of them were very cute, with big eyes and long eyelashes. There were no prettier children in the village.

There are none in town either.

At least Su Jinniang had never seen it.

Su Jinniang knew that they were Wei Ting's children.

She poured the water, put down the basin, walked in front of the three people, bent down and gently patted the snow on their coats.

The three of them looked at her with their dark eyes wide open.

Su Jinniang smiled gently and said, "It's so cold, aren't you afraid of freezing? Do you want to come in and warm yourself by the fire?"

Thanks for the support.

There will be another update later.
