Yicheng.
"Boss, look, is that Miss Li in front?"
Zhuzi saw a familiar figure flash in front of him. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, fearing that he was dazzled and had seen it wrong. He quickly reached out and patted Zhou Ping on the horse's back, raised his hand and pointed to the front, staring and speaking.
Since he was not sure, he had to ask Zhou Ping to identify it again.
After all, the boss was sitting on a horse. As the saying goes, the higher you stand, the farther you can see. Since he was sitting higher, he could naturally see farther than them.
Zhou Ping narrowed his eyes and looked ahead when he heard Zhuzi's words. "Where? Why don't I see anyone in front of me?"
He even squinted his eyes to make it easier to focus the light.
But he didn't see the figure that Zhuzi mentioned.
"Right there, my boss, look at the direction I'm pointing, it's at that corner." Zhuzi stretched out his hand and waved his arm vigorously, with his index finger pointing in the direction ahead. "Boss, no matter if she is really Miss Li, it's better to make a mistake than to let her go. If she really is Miss Li, she will go back and we will go forward. In this way, we won't be able to meet her even if it gets dark. That corner happens to be a blind spot. Now that the girl has walked in, we can only chase her to see her."
Zhou Ping had just raised his eyes to look in the direction of Zhuzi's finger when the beautiful figure he was talking about turned the corner. Zhou Ping's movement was just a beat slower.
Zhuzi bit his lip, raised his head, looked at Zhou Ping on horseback, and opened his mouth to express his opinion.
"What do you guys think?" When Zhou Ping heard Zhuzi's suggestion, he turned his head to look at the other brothers, blinked, and asked them.
After hearing this, several people looked at each other and said, "We will listen to Big Brother."
Zhou Ping lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then he frowned and said with his mouth open: "What Zhuzi said makes sense, so let's listen to him and go in that direction to find out what's going on."
"Yes, brother."
"Okay, boss."
………
“Da da da—”
Li Xia frowned and murmured, "Why do I seem to hear the sound of horse steps?"
She stopped and carefully confirmed from which direction the sound came.
"Could it be Brother Zhou and the others?" Li Xia bit her lower lip and asked with her mouth open.
In order to confirm her guess, she decided to turn around and walk back.
Now the sun has completely set and it is getting late. Even if there is a slight possibility, she must seize the opportunity, otherwise it will be even more difficult for her to find Zhou Ping and the others when it gets dark.
"Brother, look, it's really Doctor Li!" Hu Zi was the first to notice Li Xia walking towards them. He excitedly stretched out his hand and pointed at her.
Zhou Ping opened his mouth and said, "It's really Miss Li. Come on, let's speed up."
She didn't even need to take a close look at Miss Li's appearance to be sure.
It was estimated that she was the only girl of her age in the whole city who wore a veil when going out. They could recognize her at a glance just by seeing the familiar veil on her head.
"Brother Zhou!"
"Miss Li, you made it easy for us to find you."
"Doctor Li, we finally found you."
Not long after Hu Zi and the others discovered Li Xia, when she looked up, she also saw Zhou Ping and others walking towards her.
Both sides quickened their pace and approached each other.
When they saw Li Xia for the first time, they hurriedly greeted her.
"I'm really sorry." Li Xia listened to what everyone said, she fluttered her eyelashes, bit her lower lip, and opened her mouth and said.
Zhou Ping waved his hand. "It's okay, Miss Li. You find us and we find you. The process is not important. What's important is the result."
"Brother Zhou, how did you know I came out to look for you?"
When Li Xia heard what Zhou Ping said, she blinked, licked her lower lip, and asked in confusion.
Even if Brother Zhou wanted to look for her, they should have walked towards the inn. Why did they walk back instead?
"Oh, of course it's a task assigned to the boss by our sister-in-law." Zhuzi raised his eyebrows.
"Female shopkeeper?" Li Xia blinked and asked, "So, you have already arrived at the inn?"
The fat man at the side replied: "No, only the eldest brother went to the inn alone, and the rest of us are still a little far away."
He blinked and explained.
"Oh, Miss Li, I only heard from Yingniang that you came to look for us. What's the urgent matter? Why didn't you wait for us at the inn? Instead, you came out to look for us?"
Zhou Ping turned over and got off the horse. He threw the reins in his hand to the younger brother beside him, blinked, looked into Li Xia's eyes, opened his mouth and asked.
He asked the doubts in his mind.
"Brother Zhou, if you hadn't mentioned this, I would have almost forgotten about the important things." When Li Xia heard Zhou Ping's question, she suddenly remembered the important things she had to do. Li Xia raised her hand and patted her thigh, then stretched her neck to look behind Zhou Ping.
"Brother Zhou, where did you put those scoundrels?"
Li Xia didn't see the three people in the team. She bit her lip and asked with a frown.
"The boss felt that bringing them along was a nuisance, and those two useless people kept whining on the road, making us lose interest in our journey, so we simply dumped them in an alley where few people passed by." After Zhuzi finished speaking, he tilted his head to look at Li Xia and asked, "But Miss Li, why are you asking about them all of a sudden?"
Li Xia bit her lip and said, "I don't know what they put in Master Xiao's eyes. I tried everything, but he still can't see anything. So I guess the powder they used must be poisonous. If I want to cure Master Xiao's eyes, I must know what poison they put in so that I can prescribe the right medicine and detoxify him."
She raised her eyes, looked at Zhou Ping, and said with her mouth open, "Brother Zhou, could you please take me to that alley?"
"Do you want to go find them?" Zhou Ping asked after hearing this.
"Um."
Li Xia nodded.
Zhou Ping frowned, licked his lips and said, "Do we have to go find them? It's already this hour, those people must have disappeared without a trace." He took out a bag from his sleeve and handed it to Li Xia, "Will only the powder be okay?"
When Li Xia heard Zhou Ping's words, he lowered his head, worrying about what to do.
When she saw what he had in his hand, her eyes suddenly lit up.
"Sure! Brother Zhou, thank you so much."
Li Xia excitedly took the thing from his hand and said gratefully with her mouth open.
"With this powder, I will know what kind of poison Mr. Xiao was poisoned by. All I need to do next is to prescribe the right medicine to detoxify him, and he will be able to see the light again." Li Xia said, looking at the poison powder in his hand.
