Chapter 18: Wind Rings the Eaves Bells, Elm Night Awakens
Four days later, the winter snow melted away, and tender buds sprouted from the branches, like stars in the night sky. The seeds in the black soil also broke through the soil and saw the daylight. The signs of the revival of all things became more and more obvious and attractive.
In Baijia Building, everyone was busy with their own things.
Xiao Qingxu and Lu Heying were handling matters related to Baijialou in the study not far from Shang Yuwan's residence. Twelve was secretly guarding not far from Shang Yuwan's room. Shang Mingqi and Bai Xiaoye were practicing sword in an empty courtyard separated from Shang Yuwan by a long corridor. Cheng Yishui was running back and forth with a large stone on his back. Ju Gongcheng took out the fire barrel cannon after repairing it and put it out to dry.
It would be strange if the days were peaceful and tranquil.
"The Xinxin Room is quite far from here, why do you have to search next to Lord Shang?"
Shen Lanlu, with gray hair and an old age, kept flipping through all the records of the entry and exit of the original owner of Shang Yuwan's body on the day he came to Baijialou.
He was forcibly brought here and searched for two days... over and over again, but he still couldn't find out who the mysterious man was. He was really desperate.
"When Yao Lao comes back, I will definitely sue you for elder abuse!"
"Keep your voice down! If you wake them up, you'll be the one to blame!" Ji Suxian said confidently, "Hurry up and find it! If you can't find it, I'll give you some of my newly developed Haha Pills!"
A curl of hair on the mole near Shen Lanlu's mouth trembled. He fell silent; he was angry.
Shen Lanlu grabbed several other record books and flipped through them with great enthusiasm.
Ji Suxian was satisfied.
As everyone knows, Shen Lanlu, the person in charge of the Xinxin Room, can only feel humiliated in front of the landlord and Mr. Yao and his apprentice.
Twelve, standing in the shadows, took it all in, then looked away. She didn't know what Ji Suxian was investigating, but as long as she didn't wake Shang Yuwan, she wouldn't care.
Two or three birds landed on the eaves, their little heads swaying left and right, their eyes rolling around, their slender legs jumping two steps, and suddenly spreading their wings and flying away. The eaves bells were also blown up by a breeze, and the fluttering sound mixed with the ringing of the bells woke up someone who was sleeping.
"..." Shang Yuwan slowly woke up, his eyes were empty, and his mind kept repeating the words that the person in the dream had just said.
Help me find him and go meet him for me.
...I feel dizzy. How long has she been sleeping?
Shang Yuwan only felt sore all over and his mind was dizzy and confused.
Who are you looking for? Who are you meeting?
Shang Yuwan sat up, covering her face with her hands. Who was that person in her dream? The original owner? Who did the original owner want her to find?
The person in the dream just kept repeating this sentence, without any clue about the person he was looking for. Shang Yuwan was completely confused at this time.
Before Shang Yuwan could think further, Xiao Qingxu received the news from the guest and rushed over.
Xiao Qingxu was about to open the door when he suddenly turned around to look at a series of "tails" following him.
"Be quiet, I'll go in, you guys..."
Ji Suxian pushed him aside and opened the door, then immediately blocked it, "Go away, you can only go in by yourself if you can do medicine."
Shang Yuwan, whose mind was still a little confused, naturally noticed that a group of people came outside the door, but he couldn't hear what they were saying outside. He leaned forward and vaguely saw Ji Suxian with his butt sticking out blocking the door, feeling a little confused.
If you want to come in, just come in. Why are you blocking the door?
Xiao Qingxu outside wanted to go in, but was blocked by Ji Suxian.
"What?"
Ji Suxian patted the medicine box at her waist and said, "I want to take another look at her injuries. I need to take off her clothes. Do you want to see?"
A light red quickly appeared on the tips of Xiao Qingxu's ears. Before he could speak, Twelve, who had originally thought he had no chance to go in, immediately said, "I'll go help the master change his clothes."
Ji Suxian pretended to think about it, nodded, and let Twelve in.
Shang Mingqi stood behind with his sword in his arms, feeling sullen and regretting that he was a man.
He was originally practicing sword as usual today, but when he heard the news that Shang Yuwan had woken up, he ran here with his sword. Bai Xiaoye was chasing after the bastard, so he didn't say anything more. He sat on the stone bench in the yard outside the house and asked the guest to bring him some tea and cakes.
Lu Heying, with a bruised eye, also sat down to drink tea and eat cakes.
Ji Suxian gave Xiao Qingxu a fake smile. She still held a grudge against him. "Why don't you leave? Are you really going to watch?"
Xiao Qingxu was choked for a moment, and silently went to sit with Lu Heying and the others.
Ji Suxian chuckled, closed the door, turned to Shang Yuwan and asked softly: "Shang Yuwan, how do you feel? Is there any pain?"
Shang Yuwan insisted on taking off her clothes: "......"
Because Shang Yuwan didn't allow him to help, Twelve, who was standing aside, said: "......"
Shang Yuwan had an expression as if he had seen a ghost, while Twelve's face did not change. In his heart, he felt that Ji Suxian really should find a shaman to take a look.
Ji Suxian coughed twice, "What are you standing there for? Turn around!"
Yeah, it tastes just right.
Shang Yuwan nodded secretly and turned his back.
The wounds on the tender white skin are of varying depths, but there are quite a few.
The black-clothed woman that day was quite skilled in martial arts, but Shang Yuwan was not bad either. However, if she had not been protecting Lu Heying and Xiao Qingxu, the wounds on her body would have been reduced by half, and she might have even been able to avoid the Moon Poison Needle.
At that time, she was faced with an attack that was difficult to avoid and could only try to make the wound as shallow as possible. Seeing that the scabs on her body had almost fallen off, Ji Suxian asked her to turn back and pull up her underwear, and reached out to feel her pulse.
"Your body recovers really quickly, and you gain weight quickly. It's okay. Just take a shower, apply some scar removal cream, and take some medicine in the next few days and you'll be fine."
Shang Yuwan nodded and thanked him. Twelve stood aside in silence. Suddenly, she asked, "How about you? Are you injured?"
Twelve replied in a muffled voice: "No."
Shang Yuwan frowned, "Really?"
But she remembered that she seemed to hear the voice of Twelve at that time.
Shang Yuwan looked at Ji Suxian, who was flipping through the medicine jars on the side but actually watching the show secretly.
"Hmm?" What are you looking at her for?
Ji Suxian paused, stunned for a moment, and then realized, "She lied to you. If you hadn't called her that day, she would have rushed over and her neck would have been broken."
Twelve lowered his head and was silent for a while. "The injury is not serious. It's fine now."
"...Okay." Shang Yuwan took a few deep breaths, "If it's not too heavy, then it's not too heavy."
"I still have things to do, so I'll take my leave first." Twelve saw that Shang Yuwan had nothing to do, so he bowed and said goodbye.
Shang Yuwan looked at her back as she turned and left, and suddenly shouted, "Shang Twelve."
Twelve suddenly stopped and turned back, "What else do you want, sir?"
"Don't forget, Shang Mingqi is still waiting for you in Baijia Building."
Shang Yuwan was angry, but couldn't bear to say anything harsh. "You can do the mission, but you also have to consider the consequences and don't be reckless."
"Don't make a mistake like this again, understand?"
Twelve kept his head down, "I understand."
"Go get busy. If you have something to do, do it. If you don't, take a rest."
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
"Don't worry. Her wound looked a bit bloody and scary, but I treated her quickly. Besides needing some blood, she's fine. She shouldn't do anything big for the next few months to avoid reopening the wound."
Shang Yuwan lifted the quilt to put on her shoes, with an expression of wanting to say something but hesitating.
"You still want to ask me about Twelve's condition?"
Seeing that she was about to get out of bed, Ji Suxian reached out to support her so that she wouldn't fall down accidentally due to her legs going weak.
Shang Yuwan had taken the opportunity to ask about this when he had asked her to see a doctor for his headache. Ji Suxian didn't know Shang Yuwan's true identity at the time, and she always felt that Shang Yuwan was very cunning. Although he was somewhat to her liking, he didn't seem like someone she could have a deep friendship with.
Besides, Ji Suxian was not willing to tell others about his patient's condition. After acupuncture, he said, "You ask yourself" and ran to deliver the medicinal food.
Ji Suxian now knew that Shang Yuwan was Brother Xiao's wife, so she opened her mouth and explained clearly to her: "Twelve will not have that kind of situation again for the time being. I examined her two days ago, and she is almost recovered."
Shang Yuwan stood up and waved her hand. Seeing this, Ji Suxian let go and let her wash up by herself, and then put on her clothes.
Shang Yuwan paused and asked, "Was she...ever serious?"
