Chapter 338: Just What I Want
Xiao Jingfan glanced at Feng Jing: "Do you have any medicine?"
Feng Jing felt strange: "I gave you the anti-nausea medicine before."
Xiao Jingfan felt that he couldn't explain it clearly to this miracle doctor, so Chu Liuzheng had stopped vomiting, so he was too lazy to say anything more.
After watching the big boss's excitement for a while, Lu Fei remembered to get back to business and asked Jiang Yao, "Are those things the innkeeper vomited out insect eggs?"
"Not all of them." Jiang Yao glanced at him. "If there were so many insect eggs, he would have died long ago. Only the ones that can move are true."
"What about those other round things?"
"Shells," Jiang Yao said, "If the eggs don't hatch for a long time, they will continue to shed their shells. Those shells will accumulate in the human body. When the eggs hatch, the shells will become their food."
Feng Jing said: "I heard that you distribute holy water to the people in the city every two weeks. Is this holy water——"
"Yes." Before he could finish, Jiang Yao nodded, "Although the holy water can't cure the root cause, it can help everyone expel most of those things."
"You are doing a good deed." Feng Jing stuffed the last bite of biscuit into his mouth, and his impression of Jiang Yao became much better.
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and ignored him.
Zhou Yuande was puzzled: "Master Jiang has been coming to Longkou Town since last year, once every two weeks. How come the people haven't noticed anything wrong with the holy water?"
"No," Jiang Yao said, "They forget about it after they vomit, and they just feel refreshed afterwards."
The innkeeper must have noticed something unusual because he didn't drink the magic water.
However, the eggs will quickly turn into water after leaving the body, and even if you tell others about it, they will not be credible.
Listening to Jiang Yao's words, Xiao Jingfan tapped his slender fingers slowly on his knees, thinking secretly.
Insect eggs would not appear out of thin air. They must have been done by Yin Lanci's people, so they must be active in the city.
Longkou Town is not big. Jiang Yao is a disciple of Miao Wu. With her ability, it should not be difficult to find Yin Lanci's people out of the city, but she can't find any trace of these people.
I think those people are like the whistleblower in the forest. They have a way to change their breath so that Jiang Yao can't easily detect them.
From this, it seems that Yin Lanci should have known that Jiang Yao was looking for her a long time ago and had come up with a way to deal with Jiang Yao.
To Yin Lanci, Jiang Yao was a nuisance. Given Yin Lanci's vicious nature, he should have resolved this nuisance as quickly as possible. Why did he allow Jiang Yao to cause trouble in Longkou Town?
Sisterhood between teachers and sisters?
Xiao Jingfan shook his head secretly. He remembered Chu Liuzheng saying in his heart that Jiang Yao’s biggest hobby in life was to go against Yin Lanci. How deep could the friendship between such a pair of sisters be?
Furthermore, Yin Lanci could even kill her master Miao Wu, let alone a junior sister who always opposed her?
Why is that?
Xiao Jingfan was thinking, his mind racing.
Yin Lanci, this woman, has always been a person who never does anything without profit. There is probably only one reason why she is willing to let Jiang Yao go like this - Jiang Yao's actions will not only not hinder her, but will also be beneficial to her.
Xiao Jingfan had a guess in his mind, waiting for it to be confirmed.
At this moment, a dark shadow flew over and landed beside Xiao Jingfan. He bowed and said, "Master, someone is following us."
Xiao Jingfan raised his eyebrows slightly: "How many people are there?"
Xiao San said, "Sixteen people. Two women are in the carriage, and fourteen men are acting as guards. They have been with us all the way."
There were quite a few people traveling on the official road every day. If they were just traveling together for a while, it would be nothing, but these people had been following them closely since they left Longkou Town. As soon as they stopped to rest, those people also stopped. Xiao San didn't believe it was just a coincidence.
"Those guards are all martial artists, and their foundation is quite strong." Xiao San asked, "Should we send them away?"
"No need." Xiao Jingfan said, "Maybe he's a fellow traveler, just keep an eye on him."
"Yes." Xiao San took the order and left, continuing to monitor those who were following him.
Chen Xing helped Chu Liuzheng, who had just recovered from the nausea, back. Seeing that she looked unwell, Si Yue broke open an orange and handed it to her.
Chu Liuzheng took it and found the orange flesh to be sweet, sour, juicy and very refreshing.
[It's quite delicious. I should have bought two more kilograms earlier.]
While eating, she and Chen Xing listened to Si Yue briefly repeat what Jiang Yao had just said.
As he listened, Chu Liuzheng also felt that something was wrong.
Yin Lanci could tolerate Junior Sister's destructive behavior. Could it be that Junior Sister's actions were exactly what she wanted?
She made a casual complaint, but Xiao Jingfan's eyebrows moved and he looked at her sideways.
Because he had just vomited, Chu Liuzheng's eyes and cheekbones were flushed, like a thin layer of rouge on his jade-white skin. The watery glint in his eyes hadn't faded, and his expression was even softer than usual. His cheeks swelled slightly as he chewed, making him look inexplicably well-behaved.
[Hmm? What is the tyrant looking at?]
Chu Liuzheng noticed the gaze falling on him, turned around and looked, only to meet Xiao Jingfan's deep eyes.
She glanced at the remaining piece of orange pulp in her hand and immediately understood.
[The big boss is right next to me, how can I eat alone? ]
She quickly stuffed the last slice of tangerine pulp into her mouth, chewing it while taking another tangerine from the side, peeling it and handing it over: "It tastes sweet and sour, would you like to try it?"
Xiao Jingfan had just drunk a lot of water and didn't want to eat oranges.
But he stared at the orange in front of him for a moment, then reached out to take it and put it into his mouth one slice at a time.
Seeing him eating, Chu Liuzheng suddenly remembered that he had never seen him eat dry food or beef jerky, so he knew that the boss's picky eating habit had come back again.
As a qualified worker, how can I let the big boss starve?
She stood up and went back to the carriage to take down the last bag of osmanthus cake. She also asked Feng Jing to help heat up the goat milk in the bamboo tube and presented it to Xiao Jingfan.
"It will take more than two hours to get to Tancheng, so you should at least have something to fill your stomach."
Xiao Jingfan stared at the things in front of him and looked at Chu Liuzheng in confusion.
How on earth could this woman tell that he was hungry?
Chu Liuzheng thought he didn't want to drink goat milk and was about to change it, but Xiao Jingfan waved his hand to stop him and started eating slowly.
The manners he developed since childhood are deeply ingrained in his bones. Even in this desolate wilderness, His Majesty the Emperor can still make this simple snack feel like a full banquet.
[Tsk tsk, this tyrant's appearance is so deceptive.]
Chu Liuzheng held up his chin and watched with a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, admiring the beauty while she dined.
Xiao Jingfan frowned and looked up, and Chu Liuzheng immediately handed him the handkerchief he had prepared for him to wipe his mouth.
Before I knew it, I had finished the goat milk and eaten half of the osmanthus cake.
"Too sweet." Xiao Jingfan commented expressionlessly, feeling a scent of osmanthus in his mouth.
[How is that possible? I specifically asked the store to put less sugar in this pack.]
Chu Liuzheng took the remaining osmanthus cake back and shared it with everyone.
She also took a piece to eat.
The delicate sweet-scented osmanthus fragrance is mixed with a hint of sweetness. It tastes good. But what’s so sweet about it?
She tugged at Feng Jing's sleeve, pointed at the half piece of osmanthus cake in his hand, and asked, "Is it sweet?"
"It's not sweet. There's not enough sugar." Feng Jing asked Chen Xing for some multi-flower honey and poured it on the pastries. He felt that it was just right.
Chu Liuzheng was chewing on the cake while thinking:
[Sure enough, there's something wrong with Tyrant's taste buds. Even this is too sweet. I'll just ask the store to not put sugar in it from now on.]
Xiao Jingfan: "..."
After resting, everyone continued on their journey. When the sky turned dark, they entered Tan City and stayed at an inn.
Da da da.
Accompanied by the regular sound of horse hooves, the wheels slowly rolled over the gravel road, and the luxuriously decorated carriage stopped in front of the house.
