Dumb Widow 3
Maybe the doctor in front of me can help me?
Shen Wanyue grabbed the man's sleeve and nodded.
The man was not too surprised. He had been in the world for so long and had seen and heard many strange things. He said, "There are many people in the world who have supernatural powers, but they all have defects in some aspects. I believe that my lady is one of them. I wonder if my lady would be willing to write it down?"
Shen Wanyue waved her hand, indicating that she couldn't write. It was a pity that she couldn't express it.
"Nothing, I've encountered your situation before. Madam should have the ability to meet the dead. I remember that when someone with this ability drew talismans on tortoise shells with blood, the hexagrams would appear in other people's dreams. But he has already passed away."
Hearing this, Shen Wanyue unconsciously clenched her right hand into a fist. Aunt Zhang said that the embroidery belonged to Madam Li, and she still remembered the strange things that happened when she repaired the embroidery.
The man thought back to that time: "I still remember that time, that person was a Taoist priest, he could reproduce dreams......"
Hearing this, Shen Wanyue lowered her head and thought.
That person was drawing talismans on a tortoise shell with blood, while he himself was drawing talismans on embroidery.
"Alas, he used this to amass wealth, and in the end he was punished by God. First he became blind, then he became speechless... until he died."
Shen Wanyue bit her lips lightly, her brows still furrowed - so to speak, she had only used this ability once. Maybe if she could really help Madam Li fulfill her wish, she could return to her body!
She arranged her plans in her mind.
The man realized that he had said too much and quickly stopped himself: "Maybe my wife is different from others. I just don't know where her family is?" So that he could send her back.
Shen Wanyue came back to her senses and looked at the man in front of her.
The doctor looked to be in his thirties, with thick eyebrows and bright, warm eyes that showed pity and concern. It made people feel inexplicably at ease. He looked very... kind?
Shen Wanyue did not respond to the doctor, but looked around the room, and finally her eyes stopped on the medicine box that the man had just brought in.
"?" The man gave her a puzzled look.
Shen Wanyue got out of bed and picked up a green fruit from the medicine box.
"Plums? Do you want to eat some?" The man didn't expect that the woman in front of him would not panic even though she knew she was dying.
Shen Wanyue picked it up, pointed at it, and then pointed at herself.
The man immediately responded: "Your last name... is Li?"
Shen Wanyue nodded in satisfaction. She was now Lady Li's body.
"Madam Li." said the man.
The corners of Chen Wanyue's mouth slightly raised. In this world, besides speaking and writing, there are other ways to express one's thoughts.
It would just cause some trouble for myself.
Then she remembered the package she had taken with her when she went out, and remembered that there was needle and thread in it.
So what if you can’t speak? Isn’t there a solution?
........
"Sir, I still haven't found Mr. Wu." The young man who had been so carefree in front of Shen Wanyue just now was now respectfully greeting the man in front of him.
The sunlight penetrates the carved window lattices and shines onto the tea table.
The man in the moon-white gown raised his hand to pour tea for the young man, and the golden pattern on his cuffs was faintly visible.
But his eyes were covered by a dark green cloth.
"It's nothing. Mr. Wu's whereabouts are erratic. It's not easy to know that he is in Tanzhou." The man's voice was gentle, with a hint of warmth.
The young man became lively again and scratched his head in annoyance: "I have been in Tanzhou for three days! If I can't find Mr. Wu again, your eyes..."
"New tea picked in spring is the freshest." The man interrupted the young man with a smile on his face and a soothing tone.
"Sir..."
Xiao Zhaoming chuckled: "The others haven't come back yet, maybe they have good news."
The peaceful tone is like the gurgling of a mountain stream, neither fast nor slow, making people feel like they are bathed in the spring breeze.
The young man's untrimmed eyebrows were tightly knitted together. "Why does fate pick on the unfortunate? Today I met a woman who suddenly fainted in front of me. I found a doctor to see her. Guess what, she not only had no tongue, but also had a terminal illness. She couldn't even survive seven days..."
Speaking of this, the young man couldn't help but sigh.
Xiao Zhaoming felt no wavering.
The young man encouraged himself: "Don't worry! I will definitely ask Mr. Wu to see your eye disease!"
Xiao Zhaoming chuckled: "Eye disease is a small matter. Didn't you say that others would lose their lives, but I am just an eye."
The boy then realized his impoliteness and apologized: "I...I didn't mean it like that, I just wanted to..."
"Suffering comes in many forms. Everyone has their own sorrows. How can we compare them? Some are heartbroken because of career failure, while others are worried about their loved ones' serious illness. The pain they suffer is similar. Comparing with others will only make others' sufferings look bad. Okay, I know you don't mean to, but you should be careful about what you say and do outside."
The young man blushed, "My Lord, I am teaching you a lesson."
At this time, Xiao Zhaoming's guards also rushed back: "My Lord... Young Master, there is news."
"Where is he? I'll go get him to treat the disease right now!!" The young man's arrogance, which he had just suppressed, burst out again.
"Gileta." Xiao Zhaoming spoke.
"Ah...hahaha, am I not too excited now?"
Xiao Zhaoming continued to ask: "Where is the person?"
The guard said, "An inn. I have already sent someone to look for it."
Inside the room, there was a waft of warm fragrance. Xiao Zhaoming stood up, feeling the jade pendant on his waist feel warm.
There seemed to be a touch of spring breeze at the corners of his lips, and he put down the teacup in his hand. The arc of his mouth always carried a subtle and subtle cunning.
"Okay, I'll visit you tonight." Xiao Zhaoming smiled lightly, his lips twitching lightly, making people feel a chill down their spine for no reason.
"yes."
Inside the inn.
During the difficult communication with the doctor, Shen Wanyue learned his name - Wu Laifeng.
She was slightly surprised.
Because she had heard of this name when she was still an embroiderer. He was a miracle doctor. It was said that there was no disease in the world that he could not cure.
Wu Laifeng just smiled and waved his hands, saying that he only knew how to "check people's lives" and he would not take over if he could not save the person.
Although he said that, if he really didn't have any ability, how could his reputation spread so long and so far?
After seeing Shen Wanyue's embroidery skills, Wu Laifeng exclaimed: "I have traveled a lot and seen a lot, but I have never seen anyone as good as you. The patterns you embroidered are more vivid than those drawn by the painter. It's amazing!"
In the end, Madam Li, who was "dying soon", actually took on a job for herself.
"I have a humble request." Wu Laifeng took out a handkerchief from the medicine box. On it was an unfinished peony embroidery. Judging from the technique, the person who embroidered the handkerchief must have had good skills.
Wu Laifeng said, "This was embroidered by a patient of mine when I was practicing medicine, but she committed suicide before she finished embroidering it. She gave it to me before she died. Madam Li, can you help me finish it?"
Chen Wanyue nodded, and she turned her face away gently, her long eyelashes drooping, casting a faint shadow under her eyes.
"Thank you very much."
"It is not easy for me to stay in your room for too long, so just enjoy your meals and have fun these days." These were the last words Wu Laifeng left for Chen Wanyue before he left.
She was slightly startled when she heard the words, then the corners of her lips lifted slightly, revealing a very faint smile. She lowered her eyes to look at the handkerchief in her hand, and a glimmer of light seemed to flash in her eyes, but it quickly dimmed.
Her eyebrows drooped, and the smile disappeared before it reached her eyes, leaving only a faint curve at the corners of her lips, like a candle in the wind, flickering.
But she had thought of a way to help "Madam Li".
But at this moment...I should fill my stomach first.
After a simple tidying up, Shen Wanyue went downstairs, just when a group of people downstairs stopped Wu Laifeng.
There was a commotion.
Wu Laifeng said calmly, "What are you doing?"
The man standing at the front of the group said, "Doctor Wu, my family wants to see you."
Shen Wanyue understood. She was looking for Wu Laifeng to see a doctor.
Then he went down to the other side. It's better not to get involved.
The waiter came in and saw that she had a wound on her forehead. He thought it was her husband who had run out, so he didn't think much about it. He smiled and nodded, saying, "Madam, are you here for dinner? Come this way."
Shen Wanyue leaned forward slightly to express her gratitude.
The waiter was not very old and said a lot: "Luckily you came early, otherwise there would be no room to stay. You don't know, a group of people just came and booked all the remaining rooms."
Chen Wanyue's mouth corners kept rising, looking amiable, plus Madam Li looked innocent, which made the waiter unconsciously say a few more words: "By the way, there should be those people living next to you. I see they are dressed elegantly, I'm afraid they are officials, merchants or something, you should stay away from them."
"Yeah," she nodded slightly.
After bringing the person to the dining area, the waiter left to greet other guests.
Chen Wanyue could finally treat her stomach properly.
But unlike her calm side, Wu Laifeng was dragged into a room.
"Ah? It's you?!" After seeing Mr. Wu's face clearly, Jileta's face fell, "Sir, I have seen him."
Yes, he also asked Mr. Wu in front of him to treat a woman he had never met before.
Xiao Zhaoming sat on the chair. He ignored the mad Jileta and took off the cloth on his eyebrows, revealing a pair of gray eyes. They looked lifeless, like a pool of stagnant water.
And these eyes have always stayed on Wu Laifeng's divine beast. In Xiao Zhaoming's eyes, a wisp of white mist slowly floated out from beside Wu Laifeng.
One, two, three, four, five..........twenty.
The white mist floated by twenty times in total, and these white mists slowly gathered together and finally formed a line of words - "The peony withered before blooming, and the broken alliance still leaves traces."
I never thought that Mr. Wu, who is old, is still a passionate man. He still has 20 years to live, which is quite a long life.
In an instant, Xiao Zhaoming's vision became even more blurred, but he didn't show it on his face. He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "It was my fault. I hope Mr. Wu won't blame me."
"How could that be?" Wu Laifeng narrowed his eyes. The man in front of him was not as simple as he thought. It would be better to be cautious. "I wonder where you want to look?"
Xiao Zhaoming uttered a word through his thin lips: "Eyes."
Hearing this, Wu Laifeng subconsciously observed his eyes. After just a moment, Mr. Wu came to a conclusion: "I can't cure your eyes."
Jileta was anxious. He stood in front of Wu Laifeng and said, "Look! How come it can't be cured?!"
Wu Laifeng was not in a hurry and shook his head slowly: "Some things don't need to be looked at in detail."
"Please explain yourself clearly." Gillette blushed.
Wu Laifeng sighed, ignored him, and said to Xiao Zhaoming: "Young Master, you should know the reason. Perhaps no one in this world can cure it."
Xiao Zhaoming smiled and said, "Mr. Wu has been around for many years, so he must know that there are always better places. How come no one can cure my eyes?"
Wu Laifeng said: "Then let's ask someone else for help."
The room fell into silence. After a moment, Xiao Zhaoming pursed his lips and said, "Let him leave."
"But..." Gilletta said disapprovingly.
He lowered his eyes, and said in a soft voice with a hint of gentleness at the end: "Be obedient." Although the words were soft, they were undoubtedly tough.
"oh."
Wu Laifeng was brought here for unknown reasons and released for unknown reasons.
When they parted, he said meaningfully: "Young Master, there is no need to force your eyes to heal. It is enough to keep your life. Just stop trying to spy on the secrets of heaven."
Xiao Zhaoming sneered and said nothing.
As Mr. Wu left, the door slowly closed.
Jileta sat down on the chair and said, "What a lousy miracle doctor. He just said a few mysterious words. Maybe he is just a charlatan. Sir, you don't know that when he treated that woman, he also said that there was nothing he could do! He also said something about following fate! Bullshit!"
The guard couldn't bear to watch and stopped him, "Young Master, you need to rest."
Xiao Zhaoming's expression didn't change much, he still looked gentle and elegant, but the bulging veins on his arms revealed his inner thoughts.
He said, "Everyone get out."
"......yes."
Early the next morning, Chen Wanyue chose to return to her home from yesterday.
Xiao Zhaoming had not slept all night and was suffering from a headache.
He sat on the edge of the bed, watching the pedestrians walking and stopping below.
There were words beside each person, and he took in all of them:
"Shi Chong's tower collapsed and turned into dirt; Handan woke up from his dream and the road was covered with snow"
"Sir." The guard behind him said, "It's time for us to set off. Please cover your eyes."
Xiao Zhaoming took the cloth strip from the guard's hand, put it on his eyes, and tied it behind his head.
Chen Wanyue had just left the inn. There were not as many people on the street as yesterday, and it seemed a little deserted.
Speaking of which, the house was not far from here, and she arrived there quickly.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard a series of crackling sounds from inside.
And the woman's voice from yesterday: "Damn the mute! He actually ran away. Look carefully to see if the money is still there."
Chen Wanyue had no expression on her face. She just walked closer, leaned against the door frame, and kicked the door. For a moment, everyone in the room stopped what they were doing and turned to look at her.
The woman was shocked at first, but when she saw that it was the "Mrs. Li" who disappeared and reappeared, she immediately raised her voice: "Hey, sister-in-law, what are you doing back here? What's wrong? Did you not take all the money?"
Of course not, I came back to find you on purpose, Chen Wanyue thought.
She listened to Wu Laifeng's words last night and thought about herself and Madam Li.
She was originally still thinking about the possibility of Madam Li returning to this body, but after what happened yesterday, she thought that Madam Li would never come back.
It was just that I happened to use my ability on the embroidery that was left over from Madam Li's relic, and it was just an accident.
The most important thing is to complete what Lady Li asked and find the real murderer.
Chen Wanyue looked straight ahead without any fear, which made the woman feel creepy.
