Those who had gone out were slowly walking back, but Lan Yu and Xiao Hang were still outside.
Lan Yu didn't feel too downhearted because Xiao Fu and Liu Yun were by her side. Xiao Hang, on the other hand, set out from the northwest alone, sleeping in the open and eating the wind and not daring to slow down, fearing they would get lost.
When Xiao Hang arrived at Medicine Valley, the people there said that Lan Yu had not returned. He almost went directly to Ye Nan, but he didn't go in the end. He thought that he had rushed here on horseback, so what if Lan Yu fell behind him?
When Xiao Hang came to Medicine Valley this time, he felt that there was something strange here. He believed that Lan Yu must have sensed something, so he suddenly came back, and he would definitely come back to Medicine Valley. Before Lan Yu came back, he wanted to help Lan Yu find out some information and understand the current situation in Medicine Valley.
The Valley Master still hadn't shown up. Where had she gone? Why was someone guarding the Valley Master's room? Nothing seemed right. Xiao Hang tried several times to get in, but after Chu Ning's warning, he stopped going. After all, he was just a guest.
Three days after Xiao Hang arrived at the Medicine Valley, Lan Yu brought Xiaofu and Liuyun to the Medicine Valley.
"Lan Yu, you're back?" The one who spoke was the eldest senior brother of Yao Valley, named Chu Ning.
"Senior Brother, has anyone gone out of the valley in the past year?" Lan Yu asked the question he had been thinking about all the way. If someone went out, then he could figure out how the poison leaked out.
"Lan Yu, you just came back. Take a rest first. The annual grand ceremony in Medicine Valley is coming soon. It's just in time for you, the successor of the Valley Master, to come back." Chu Ning did not answer Lan Yu's question directly, but avoided the question.
Lan Yu stopped walking. She had changed back into her old clothes, and every time she moved, the bells jingled. She turned and looked at Chu Ning, "Brother, is anyone out of Medicine Valley?"
Chu Ning knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he sighed and said, "Yes, the senior sister is gone."
"Gone? Not going out?" Lan Yu considered Chu Ning's words.
"Yes, she left. She killed the Valley Master and left. We don't know where she is..." Chu Ning didn't dare to look at Lan Yu, but just rubbed his hands.
"What did you say? Where's Master?" Lan Yu didn't believe Chu Ning's words. When she left, Master was still fine. How could it be? No way, it definitely wouldn't happen.
Then, Lan Yu pushed Chu Ning away and walked towards the Valley Master's yard. Chu Ning reached out to stop Lan Yu, but was kicked away by Xiaofu.
Lan Yu was running in front, Xiaofu and Liuyun were following behind. Lan Yu almost fell down several times, but was caught by Xiaofu's quick eyes and hands.
Lan Yu stumbled to the Valley Master's courtyard. There were two medicine boys guarding the door. When they saw Lan Yu running towards them, they looked at each other in confusion. When Lan Yu came to them, they subconsciously reached out to stop him, "Get out of here."
"Young Master..."
"Get out of here!" Lan Yu roared, and Xiaofu stepped forward and kicked the two men away one by one.
Lan Yu immediately stepped forward and pushed the door open. The moment he opened the door, he was stunned. Inside was a mourning hall with a black coffin and white curtains.
Lan Yu stared at it for a long time and slowly walked towards the coffin. The big, black coffin lying there looked like a monster, making Lan Yu tremble in his heart.
Lan Yu walked over to the coffin, stared at the large stool where it rested, and then looked at the person inside. What a familiar face, what a familiar fragrance, how could it be gone? Impossible! Lan Yu reached out to grab her master's hand, but as soon as she touched her master's hand, Lan Yu shuddered. It was so cold!
How could this happen? It couldn't be this cold! How could Master be so cold when he's clearly still alive? Lan Yu reached out again to grab Master's hand, trying to pull it up to warm it, but after several attempts, she couldn't. Master was already stiff, so stiff that she couldn't even move his hand.
"Master, Master, Yu'er is back, little Yu'er is back, can you please open your eyes and look at me? Didn't you say you would watch me get married? Can you please open your eyes and look at me?" Lan Yu said this to the person in the coffin with a smile, but she didn't notice that she was already in tears, and her tears were dripping onto the person in the coffin.
Xiao Hang got the news that Lan Yu had returned, and when he rushed over, he happened to see this scene. Xiao Hang's heart was gripped tightly, and just as he was about to step forward, Chu Ning passed him and came to Lan Yu's side.
"Junior sister, the Valley Master has gone on his own. Please accept my condolences." Then Chu Ning put his arm around Lan Yu's shoulders and wanted to take her away.
But Lan Yu pushed Chu Ning away with great force, "Aren't you going to tell me yet? That's right, he is not your master. If you don't feel sorry for him and you don't tell me, I will ask someone else. There is always someone who can tell me." After saying that, he jumped down and walked out. When he saw Xiao Hang, he was stunned for a moment. He didn't ask him why he was here. He just ignored him and walked out. Xiaofu and Liuyun continued to follow.
Xiao Hang followed Liuyun and asked him as he ran, "Why are you and Xiaofu here? Did Lan Yu get any news? That's why he came back so suddenly?" Liuyun just shook his head, "I don't know!"
"So what do you know? Tell me everything you know."
Liuyun stopped and looked at Xiao Hang. "I only know that the person Sister Xiaoqiu brought back was poisoned by the poison from Medicine Valley. Also, Sister Lanyu is very sad now."
Xiao Hang looked at Liuyun, then went after Lan Yu. The Medicine Valley was very large, and almost everyone had their own yard, and they would find a place to build their own small yard. Some senior brothers and sisters also lived in the same yard for convenience or because they had good relationships.
But there was a place where everyone usually tested and exchanged medical skills. Lan Yu ran to the pharmacy, picked up the gong that was usually used to summon people, and after a few "bangs", he threw the gong down and sat on the top, waiting for people to come.
Sure enough, within the time it took to stick of incense, more than thirty people gathered below. There weren't many people in Medicine Valley to begin with, and after experiencing Meng Zixin's incident, the valley was severely damaged. Now, there are less than half of the original population of Medicine Valley.
Seeing that most people had arrived, Lan Yu spoke up, "Where's the senior sister? Can anyone tell me? And my master, what's going on? Can anyone help me understand?"
"Lan Yu? We are also very sad about what happened to our senior sister. She was killed by your incompetent senior sister Jingxin. You should mourn for her." The speaker was the junior sister of the valley master, who was also the only elder in the medicine valley.
The previous uncles and aunts left Medicine Valley after Meng Zixin's incident and opened their own pharmacies. Without relying on the fame of Medicine Valley, they also had various reputations with their own medical skills.
"Uncle Master, I know my own senior sister very well. How could she, a person who couldn't bear to hurt even an ant, kill the master whom she respected and loved the most? I will never believe it even if I die." Lan Yu snorted coldly when he saw his uncle dressed up in fancy clothes. He pushed all the things onto their own yard. How could they come up with such a plan? Senior sister was brought up by the master. The feelings of senior sister to the master were deeper than his feelings for the master. Instead of letting her believe that senior sister killed the master, it would be better to let her believe that they joined forces to kill their master and senior sister. Thinking of this possibility, Lan Yu wanted to poison all these people to death.
However, not everyone here must have participated in it. She cannot commit the sin of killing. Now she must find her senior sister, no matter whether she is dead or alive.
Lan Yu was now afraid. If he had not called Lingshu to Kyoto, would she be missing now?
