"From what you see, is it credible?"
He brushed off the black dust on his clothes and said with a righteous look on his face.
"I am a doctor and do not believe in ghosts and gods. I must investigate the matter realistically. I will not jump to conclusions unless I have seen it with my own eyes and heard it with my own ears."
"No problem. I'll ask Wei Xiang to take you to see Xu Rui's body later."
"But, but..."
But he is a doctor, not a coroner!
"What's the matter? Mr. Qu, you've only been away from home for half a month and you're already feeling homesick? I figured the elders of the Qu family are all in the city now, so you shouldn't have any worries."
Is this using the lives of his entire family as a threat? Humph, the Grandmaster hadn't lied to him. The Heavenly Family was truly evil. One bad person, two bad people. A bad father, a bad son. One bad person, several generations. One bad person, a whole family...
"Qu Mo?"
The man called his name softly.
He lowered his head dejectedly.
"I obey your order."
******************
Xiao Nanhui walked out of Jingbo Tower alone.
Jixiang was placed in the Black Feather Camp, where she was given free food and drink. The injury on her buttocks would probably take a while to heal. Around sunset, the streets and alleys gradually became bustling, and since carriages were not convenient, she walked directly to Yanfu Street.
On the way, she saw a vendor selling sweet oranges again, but after thinking about it, she decided not to buy anything and turned a corner to go to Xiaofuju.
The shopkeeper of Xiaofuju was old and dozing off on a bench. When he woke up, he heard Xiao Nanhui say that he wanted to take away all the ten jars of Yunyexian that he had accumulated for three or four years. He thought he had fallen asleep again.
The shopkeeper asked her three or four times if she really wanted to take all the tea away, and repeatedly reminded her that the Yunyexian tea had to be stored in the cellar, otherwise it would go bad if not consumed within three days.
She just smiled and said she understood, picked up the wine and walked out of Xiaofuju.
She always saved the good stuff for herself, and even when she enjoyed it occasionally, she would only take a little bit, never eating it all at once. That would make her feel too insecure.
But Shrike is always the opposite. She never saves the best things for last, and when she gets fresh grapes, she will eat them all in one go until she can't even walk.
She had studied in an academy for several years, but Shrike could hardly read or write, and could not even summarize the meaning of the four words "enjoy life while you can". He could only say: To die under the grape trellis is to be a romantic ghost.
So, from childhood to adulthood, no matter what fruits or drinks, they never stayed overnight at the mansion. The only exception was these ten jars of fresh Yunye.
This was something she had painstakingly saved, hiding from others. She had imagined that one day, when she was old and unable to walk, fight, or earn money, she would still have a sip of good wine. She imagined how glorious it would be to own ten jars of this priceless wine. She also imagined how she would then place the wine before the fool who only cared about the moment, proving her superiority without needing to say anything.
However, she never thought that although she tried her best to keep the wine, she failed to keep the person.
The person who could drink with her is no longer here, and she doesn't have to wait until she grows old.
Xiao Nanhui walked alone into the bustling crowd carrying ten jars of wine.
Perhaps in life, companionship is always short-lived, and loneliness is the norm.
As the night deepens and the lights come on, Wangchen Tower is at its busiest.
Today is the Huanhua Festival. The beauties in the building all wear fresh flowers in their hair. In the middle of the courtyard, which is usually decorated with lanterns, a winding stream is paved with gravel. Jade cups and fruit bowls float in the stream, and the air is filled with the fragrance of flowers and wine. The early summer evening breeze blows across the exposed skin of the beauties, and the temperature is intoxicating.
She stood by the small arch bridge made of pine wood and watched for a while. During this time, several girls holding umbrellas passed by and came close to her. When they found out that she was a girl, they did not immediately turn cold. Seeing that she was carrying ten jars of wine and seemed to be worried about something, they dragged her arm and wanted to drink with her.
She smiled and refused, suddenly understanding why people were willing to come here.
This is the most down-to-earth place. Everyone who comes here will be treated warmly, but they will not be asked where they come from or where they are going.
Xiao Nanhui's fingers felt a little sore from carrying ten jars of wine, so he walked towards the backyard.
Before turning around the corridor, I saw two familiar figures coming towards me.
Yao Yi wore a very gaudy cyclamen in her hair, and to match the red and black color of the flower, she also wore a red jacket with gold braids, making her look like a spotted pheasant.
Wu Xiaoliu was not much better off. He had a loofah flower pinned to his head and his double-breasted jacket was emerald green, making him look like a toad that had become a spirit.
As the saying goes, like master, like servant. These two are becoming more and more alike.
On the other side, Yao Yi was explaining something very quickly, but Wu Xiaoliu saw her first and started stuttering.
"Xiao, Xiao..."
Yao Yi was obviously talking about the key point, and he was very impatient when he saw the other party's silly look, but when he looked up and saw her, his little eyes, which were rolling around, were rarely stunned.
Xiao Nanhui touched his itchy nose and was about to greet someone and walk in as usual, but unexpectedly the person opposite him suddenly lowered his brows.
"Why are you..." He paused, walked over quickly, and lowered his voice, "Why are you hanging out like this?"
Xiao Nanhui pretended to be nonchalant and stretched his arms and legs.
"It's fine now, it's nothing to worry about."
Yao Yi was speechless, staring at her unbridled face that was wandering around everywhere.
"I'm not asking you that..."
