Chapter 155 I Don’t Elbow
Zhao Xingjian was a little surprised, "How did Yan Pingniang guess that?"
Luo Qiuyue remained silent.
Zhao Xingjian said, "It took over twenty days to travel from the capital to Xianchuan County. I was thinking of finding a wet nurse for the baby in town, but I got off the carriage for a while, and when I came back, the baby was gone!"
"The driver and I searched everywhere but couldn't find any trace of the doll. From then on, she disappeared from my life, as if she had never appeared. Sometimes, I even thought I was dreaming. Ultimately, I am sorry for the doll. I don't know where she is now or how she is doing."
The room was silent.
The only sound left was the little dumpling chewing chestnuts.
Luo Qiuyue glanced at the little girl and said, "I also know that the teacher lost the doll near the Xianchuan County Government Office."
Zhao Xingjian was completely shocked this time. "How do you all know everything? I've never told anyone about this!"
"Because the doll that the Master lost was Xiao Jiuer."
"What?!" Zhao Xingjian was dumbfounded, his mouth hanging open as he looked up and down at the adorable little girl. "But... she doesn't look like her! Why are you so sure? Could it be that it was you guys that day..."
Stole the doll from the carriage?
"Of course they are not us, but they are indeed from Heihe Village."
Luo Qiuyue told Ye Yanlan about how she stole Xiao Jiuer from the carriage.
Zhao Xingjian was excited. "It all fits! The time, the place, and the baby's condition are all right!"
As he spoke, he excitedly hugged the little girl into his arms and choked up, "Xiao Jiu'er, it turned out to be you! I lost you that day, and now you are in front of me, but I didn't recognize you. I am so sorry for you!"
"It's not tied!" Little Dumpling answered in a baby voice.
"What a magical fate that allows us to meet again in Heihe Village!" Zhao Xingjian sighed with tears in his eyes.
The skinny little thing back then has grown up to be so lively and cute now.
The concern in my heart finally came true at this moment.
Heihe Village, he really came to the right place!
"Don't cry, my husband!"
Little Tuanzi used his chubby hands to wipe Zhao Xingjian's tears.
But he sighed softly in his heart.
Didn’t we agree not to talk about my background?
Why are you bringing this up again?
"Master, I have a few questions." Ye Buwei said.
"Please go ahead."
"Master, you were drunk on the day you left the capital. I believe a friend threw you a farewell banquet. Do you remember who was at the banquet?"
"I remember. I wrote to each of them to inquire, but they all replied saying they didn't know anything about the baby."
"Is the carriage that brought the Master to Xianchuan County still there?"
Zhao Xingjian shook his head. "That carriage belonged to a junior fellow apprentice in the capital. He insisted on using his own carriage to take me there that day. After arriving in Xianchuan County, I asked the driver to drive the carriage back to the capital."
Ye Buwei pondered and said, "Before this carriage took you, where did it go and who did it come into contact with? These are all important clues to understanding Xiaojiu's life experience."
Zhao Xingjian patted the little girl's head and said, "In that case, I will go to Beijing in the spring and find out the whole story."
"Husband, no, no, no!" Little Dumpling tugged at his clothes, "I'm the Ye family's baby, I won't go!"
"Yes, yes, Xiao Jiuer is the baby of our Ye family!" The Ye family members echoed.
Seeing that everyone's smiles were forced, the little girl immediately jumped out of Zhao Xingjian's arms, with a puffed-up head, and walked out without saying a word.
"Where is Xiao Jiuer going?"
"I'm sleepy, I need a nap."
"Xiao Jiuer, wait for mother." Yunniang picked up the little girl and said, "Dad, Mom, Master, I'm going to take Xiao Jiuer back to the room to rest first."
"Sister, wait for brother, brother is sleepy too!"
Xiaowen and Xiaowu also followed.
Watching the little girl leave, Zhao Xingjian said thoughtfully, "So Xiao Jiuer doesn't want to know her own life story. I think it's better to just let it go."
Although he had never seen Xiao Jiuer's magical powers with his own eyes, after the incident of collecting herbs, he believed what they said was true.
Perhaps it was God's arrangement that Xiao Jiuer came to the Ye family.
"I think so too." Luo Qiuyue said, "Let's not rush to verify Xiao Jiuer's background. Don't mention it in front of Xiao Jiuer in the future. Why make her unhappy?"
"Well, I agree with mother." Ye Yanping hoped that Xiao Jiuer's life experience would be buried forever.
"According to what the teacher said, Xiao Jiuer was most likely abandoned by her biological parents. It's better not to have such relatives." Ye Yan'an said.
"Although our family is just an ordinary one, we are really kind to Xiao Jiuer. Xiao Jiuer is very happy with us." Ye Yanshun said.
Ye Buwei said slowly: "Let's just forget about this matter and not talk about it anymore."
"Okay!" Everyone's expression suddenly relaxed.
It was getting late, so everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
In the next few days, the villagers took the initiative to come to the Ye family to feed the leeches.
Of course, every time they leave, Xiao Jiuer will not let them leave empty-handed.
Within a few days, the sounds of chickens flying and ducks clucking were everywhere in Heihe Village.
Every day before dawn, the roosters in every household begin to crow. Soon after, the hens begin to cluck, and the ducks are not to be outdone, quacking and singing.
Heihe Village did not experience the hustle and bustle of the snowstorm. Everyone was leisurely and calm, enjoying the winter time of eating and sleeping.
On the sixth day, the villagers discovered that the leech had finally grown seven stars.
Everyone was very happy and told Luo Qiuyue to kill the leeches for use as medicine.
"Okay, don't worry, everyone!"
"Then let's wish Yan Ping's father a speedy recovery!"
In fact, no one knew what disease Ye Buwei had, but the Ye family was obviously unwilling to say more, so they didn't dare to ask too much.
That night, the lights in Luo Qiuyue and Ye Buwei's room were left on until very late.
The three brothers of the Ye family also had trouble falling asleep.
Now that the house is bigger, they don’t have to squat in the corner and whisper to each other anymore.
At this moment, they gathered in Ye Yan'an's room.
Ye Yanping frowned. "You guys, do you really not need to find a doctor? After all, our mother knows nothing about medicine. What if something goes wrong?"
Ye Yanan held his chin in his hand. "Everything is fine in our family, except that my parents keep everything secret from us. Daddy was poisoned for twenty years, and we were kept in the dark; he was in critical condition, and we were still kept in the dark; how to diagnose and treat him tomorrow, we are still kept in the dark."
"Mother said she consulted a master in her early years and knew how to detoxify. I don't believe it." Ye Yanshun sat upright under the lamp. "The Netherworld Dragon-Catching Flower only blooms once every hundred years. This is the only chance to save Dad. If Mother wasn't absolutely sure, she would never do it herself."
Ye Yan'an nodded, "Ah Shun, your analysis is correct. Our mother didn't seek medical advice because she couldn't trust anyone else but herself."
"According to what you're saying, does that mean Mom really knows medicine?" Ye Yanping fell into deep thought. "But that's not right. I remember when you were little, you were sick, and Mom always carried you to see a doctor for prescriptions. If Mom knew medicine, why didn't she treat you herself?"
