Xiao Fu sent Chen Yuanqing to fetch his senior brother Xie Laosan to check Lin Zikui's eyes.
This Xie Laosan is a disciple of the Yunnan Gu King and is known as Third Master in the martial arts world. He is a serious Gu doctor with superb medical skills and is good at using Gu to save lives.
About ten days later, in the dead of winter, the Sixteen Caves Mountain was shrouded in wind and snow.
Xie Laosan was exhausted and was abducted to Xingzhi Temple.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you know I should stay away from the capital at this time? What if you take me to the palace and ask me to remove the poison for the emperor? How can I remove it for him? If you chop off my head, will you be responsible?"
Yuanqing pointed the way: "Third Master, this way please."
Xie Laosan was not tall, about 40 years old, carrying a small basket for collecting herbs. When he saw Xiao Fu, the first thing he said was: "Tell me, who are you treating? Is it so important?"
Xiao Fu said: "A young man, mine."
Xie Lao San: "Who are you? Why are you keeping me in suspense? Why don't you go find the imperial physician or the palace physician of the Duke of Changguo's mansion? Why are you looking for me?"
Xiao Fu shook his head, "There are very few people in this world who have better medical skills than you, Third Brother. He has an eye disease, I'll take you to see him. Oh, Third Brother, later, when you meet my young master, remember to keep my identity secret in front of him and call me Miss Xiao."
Third Master: “?”
Xiao Fu took him to Xixin Hall without explanation, but there was only a servant boiling medicine on the eaves.
Xie Laosan twitched his nose and asked, "What kind of medicine is this?"
Mo Liu raised his head: "This is the medicine my young master drinks every day. You are..."
Xiao Fu said, "I invited this genius doctor, Third Master. Where is your son?"
Mo Liu said, "He was dizzy from reading so he went out for a walk."
The Third Master stroked his short beard, then opened the lid and sniffed the medicine like a dog. Mo Liu said, "You can't open the lid of this medicine while it's being taken!"
"They are all medicinal powders, Codonopsis pilosula, Atractylodes macrocephala, Tallow... " Xie Lao San had a sharp nose and could quickly sniff out the dozen or so herbs in it. He said, "Who prescribed this for your son?"
Mo Liu hesitated, "It's... Doctor Wang from Yong'an Pharmacy in Jinling City. He is a famous doctor. Lord Tang took my son to see him. Every time we went there, Doctor Wang would grind the herbs into powder, so we don't actually know the prescription."
"What a lousy famous doctor! How long has your son been taking this prescription?"
"About four or five months."
"This recipe is useless. Not only that, if you drink too much, you will feel dizzy, nauseous, and sleepy all the time."
"Yes! Yes!" Mo Liu stood up and said excitedly, "My son has been like this recently! He thought he was dizzy because he read too much. Miracle doctor, please check my son's illness!"
The third master asked, "Where is the patient?"
Xiao Fu asked Mo Liu: "Where did he go? I'll go find him."
Mo Liu shook his head: "In the temple, just now, he walked to the left. Maybe he went to Qingxin Pavilion."
Xiao Fu got up and went to look for someone, watching the scenery after the snow fell, with snow covering the eaves, feathers flying on the treetops, and the eaves shining like crystal. There was a little Taoist priest sweeping the snow in front of the temple.
Xiao Fu walked over and asked, "Little Taoist, have you met Monk Lin?"
"Mr. Lin went over there."
"Thank you." Not long after Xiao Fu left, he saw Lin Zikui squatting on the long steps, feeding the cat.
He had seen that tabby cat before and had fed it. It was aloof and not very friendly to people.
At this moment, she actually took the initiative to get close to Lin Zikui and leaned back and forth on his lap.
Lin Zikui raised his hands but didn't hug it, saying: "You can grab me, but don't grab my clothes. These are given to me by my wife. If you damage them, I will have nothing to wear..."
Who said there isn't?
There are delicious food, fun things and new clothes just sent from the Duke of Changguo’s Mansion.
He wanted to give it to Lin Zikui, but he was worried that he wouldn't want it.
Xiao Fu walked over with light steps.
There was only a slight sound when his feet stepped on the snow. It was not until he felt a shadow covering his back and the tabby cat ran away that Lin Zikui realized something. He raised his head, but the sunlight was too dazzling and he could not help but close his eyes.
Then I felt someone scratching my eyelashes gently, and it was a little itchy.
Xiao Fu bent his index finger and scraped away the fallen snow on his eyelashes. Seeing that Lin Zikui opened his eyes, Xiao Fu lowered his finger and gently rubbed his nose with his knuckles.
It was even more itchy, but she was still embarrassed. Lin Zikui squatted there in embarrassment and couldn't help but raise her hand to scratch it: "Second Miss, is there something on my face?"
"Well, there was a cat hair, I took it away for you."
"Oh, thank you, second young lady..." He lowered his head.
Xiao Fu held out his hand to him: "Lin Lang, get up. I've found a doctor to check your eyes."
Lin Zikui was still embarrassed, so he silently grabbed Xiao Fu's four fingers, quickly used the force to stand up, and quickly let go. Xiao Fu felt the fingertips scratching his palm quickly, just like a cat scratching him.
Lin Zikui said: "What doctor? My eyes are fine, aren't they?"
"What's the good of that? You put it on and still read like that."
"I'm used to it..."
Xiao Fu: "The doctor just said that the medicine you took before was ineffective, and taking more would not only make you dizzy."
"Huh?" Lin Zikui was surprised. Considering that he had indeed had these symptoms recently, he thought he was thinking too much about getting married.
Xiao Fu's mouth twitched: "I heard that it was that Master Tang who took you to the medicine shop?"
"Um……"
"Don't hang out with that kind of person. You can tell from his face that he is gay."
Lin Zikui: “…”
Lin Zikui: "How did the Second Miss know that..."
"Face reading, Ma Yi face reading." Xiao Fu glanced over, "Why, you think he is not?"
Lin Zikui looked confused and puzzled: "I don't know, Brother Tang actually has a preference for Long Yang?"
Xiao Fu remained calm: "He does, so do you think he is disgusting?"
Lin Zikui was silent for a moment and shook his head: "It's not disgusting, it just feels weird."
Xiao Fu didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy for a moment.
If he doesn't feel disgusted, then that's fine, he won't hate himself either, but Lin Zikui doesn't feel disgusted with Tang Mengyang? How can this be tolerated!
Xiao Fu moved his lips: "Why don't you just disgust him."
"Ah?" Seeing how disgusted he was, Lin Zikui thought he was bothered by this, and quickly explained, "I don't know Brother Tang's hobbies. He treats me well because... he likes my writing. I once gave him some advice, and he used it to please Lord Xu, so he became Lord Xu's adopted son, and later he kept exchanging letters with him."
"Hmm?" Xiao Fu looked surprised. "You offered him advice, and he used it to curry favor with Lord Xu. Then why don't you go to the Xu residence yourself? Lord Xu has many adopted sons. All talented people in the world can present their visiting cards."
Lin Zikui lowered his head, as if immersed in memories.
Xiao Fu: "Lin Lang?"
Lin Zikui raised his head slightly and looked at him with a relaxed expression, then slowly said, "Three years ago, I wanted to become Xue Xiang's disciple, but I gave up because of my eyes."
Xiao Fu also looked at him and said, "Xue Bi is more suitable to be your teacher than Lord Xu. I will introduce him to you later."
As they talked, they returned to Xixin Hall.
Xie Laosan greeted, "This is Master Lin? Is that right, Miss Xiao?"
"Miss Xiao" nodded and said, "Lin Lang, go ahead and let Doctor Xie take a look at your illness."
Lin Zikui bowed and said, "Thank you, Doctor. I am honored to be here."
"Come here, kid." When Doctor Xie saw Lin Zikui and Xiao Fu walking side by side as if surrounded by a spring breeze, what was there for him to not understand? He knew Xiao Fu's preferences. When he was in his teens, Xiao Fu ran to him in a panic because he liked men and asked him, "Third brother, do you have any poisonous insects that can cure me? I don't want to like men."
Xie Laosan said yes: "I'll give you a worm to eat, and after you eat it, you will never get an erection again. Then you won't have any feelings for anyone, and you'll be cured, right? Once and for all!"
Xiao Fu got angry and stayed angry for a long time.
The Third Master thought, Xiao Fu is already so old, but still so useless, actually pretending to be a young lady and flirting with a young man here.
Lin Zikui sat in the sun. Xie Laosan pinched his eyelids and looked at him for a while. Lin Zikui's eyes were extremely sensitive and he couldn't help blinking when his eyes were opened.
Xie Laosan said: "Your eyes are injured. Has anyone ever pierced your eyes with... for example, a needle?"
Lin Zikui's pupils shrank.
Xiao Fu's expression suddenly changed: "Who did it?"
Lin Zikui shook her head: "No one, I was just careless and hurt my eyes by mistake. Second Miss, you don't have to worry."
Xie Laosan turned his head and signaled: "Zhao Ling, please go out for a moment."
Xiao Fu met his gaze and realized that Lin Zikui was unwilling to speak, probably because of his presence.
His expression was terrifyingly gloomy and murderous, which made Lin Zikui a little scared.
Xiao Fu exchanged glances with Xie Laosan, and then he turned and left.
Xie Laosan then asked Lin Zikui: "Good boy, can you tell me about this old doctor?"
Lin Zikui was still looking at Xiao Fu's departing back, then he withdrew his gaze and shook his head firmly: "Mr. Xie, it was really my own carelessness. I touched my eyes while sewing."
"Are you afraid? Because you can't afford to offend the person who did this to you, so you dare not tell. Because if you tell, you will be killed?"
Lin Zikui shook his head silently.
"...Okay, it's okay. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. Don't take the previous medicine. It's not good for your health. My medicine is different from ordinary medicine. It's a kind of insect, alive. Your eyes are not serious, so there is naturally a cure. But after taking my medicine, you will occasionally feel a little itchy on your body. No, it's a very itchy itchy. Can you accept it?"
"Yes," Lin Zikui heard about eating insects and had no doubt at all, "Thank you, old man."
Instead, Mr. Xie San's eyes showed surprise. No wonder Xiao Fu liked him. This young master's personality was indeed likable.
Finally, Xiao Fu pulled him aside and asked him, "Are you sure that his eye was stabbed by someone? Did he tell me?"
"I'm sure, but he refuses to admit it. I think there might be some nobles involved, and he's worried about dragging you into it. I think since you've concealed your identity, he doesn't know who you are, so he naturally refuses to say it in order to protect you."
It turns out that he was afraid of getting himself into trouble.
When Xiao Fu thought of someone treating Lin Zikui like that, a strong murderous intent filled his chest, and he wished he could chop Tang Mengyang to pieces first.
Since it happened three years ago, it must be related to the imperial examination.
Xiao Fu ordered Yuan Wu to go back to Jinling immediately to check. Xie Lao San opened his backpack and found dozens of black cans in it!
He dialed it and found one.
Xiao Fu: "Give him something to eat?"
"Well, I don't know if he can do it."
Xiao Fu: "The queen worm is also on you?"
Xie Lao San nodded: "Of course, I have raised this baby for more than ten years and I carry it with me."
Eating live insects is indeed disgusting. Lin Zikui looked up at Xiao Fu, who coaxed him, "Don't be afraid. Doctor Xie is a good man and won't harm you."
"I know..." Lin Zikui stared at the bug, swallowed his saliva, and finally closed his eyes, covering his eyes with his sleeves. He frowned, opened his mouth, stuffed the bug into his mouth, and swallowed it with all his might. He covered his mouth with his palm to prevent Xiao Fu from seeing this disgusting scene.
Xiao Fu seemed to understand why he was blocking it. He bent down and rubbed his head, then gave him a candied fruit and said softly, "Lin Lang, eat it and your illness will be cured."
Lin Zikui covered his throat and couldn't help scratching: "Itchy..."
Xie Lao San stopped him and said, "Don't scratch it. This extremely itchy feeling will make your skin break."
He didn't dare to move. Xie Lao San sighed, "Cover it with something hot, it will be better."
Lin Zikui nodded, then sat down and twisted his body: "It's really itchy..."
Xiao Fu: "Where?"
"Calf..."
Xiao Fu bent down to take off his shoes, and pulled them out with one hand and put them aside. Lin Zikui was startled: "Second Miss!"
"Here?" He stretched out his hand to cover Lin Zikui's calf. His beautiful eyes, sharp as a knife, seemed gentle at this moment. "Left leg or right leg?"
"Left, left leg..." Lin Zikui was embarrassed, his legs were shaking, "Second Miss, please don't... I can do it myself."
"Is it not okay to touch your calf? I have seen every part of your body."
"Ah?" Confused.
Xiao Fu said calmly: "I was just joking. When we get married in the future, won't Lin Lang still have to let me touch him? Now that you are sick, just behave yourself."
Xiao Fu's overbearing personality, who always had his way, sometimes made Lin Zikui feel uncomfortable, but he still submitted obediently because he felt that if he didn't agree, the second girl would be angry.
