Chapter 410 Crocodile Skin
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che looked at each other and walked out of the yard in silence.
They couldn't tell whether they were happy or sad.
Amnesia doesn't sound like a good thing, but it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for He San.
But He San seems to be doing pretty well now.
Xue Che: "Zhizhi, forget it, let's go back. Aren't Wu Zhan and Gu Qingning coming to the mountain tomorrow?"
Su Zhizhi's eyes lit up again: "I have to get up early tomorrow. I'm going to pick up Qing Ning."
Wu Zhan and Gu Qingning's wedding is scheduled for the end of this month. They were busy preparing for the wedding, but when they heard that Zhizhi was coming, they had to come and see her no matter how busy they were.
The voices of Su Zhizhi and Xue Che were getting farther and farther away from Doctor Yu's courtyard.
Doctor Yu blew out the light in the pharmacy and returned to the main room.
He saw Hua Erniang lying on her side on the bed, supporting her head with one hand, looking at him with a half-smile.
With eyes as gentle as water, he called out, "Xiaobai."
Doctor Yu noticed something was wrong and immediately began to reflect on what he had done wrong recently.
He thought about it. Recently, he hadn't been spying on her making poison, nor had he been fighting with her for medicinal materials. He was responsible for blowing out the lights every night and bringing water in the morning...
Doctor Yu couldn't think of what he had done wrong.
This is an even bigger problem.
Qianjiao said that the most hateful thing is to do something wrong and not know it.
Doctor Yu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Xiaobai~" Hua Erniang sat up and walked towards Doctor Yu.
"Qianjiao." Doctor Yu's Adam's apple rolled, and he felt that Hua Er Niang was about to change her face and kick him out of the house.
Hua Erniang came over with a smile, put her arms on Doctor Yu's shoulders, and put her lips to his ear:
"Xiaobai, I'm going to be a mother."
Doctor Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, and it felt like fireworks were exploding beside his ears.
His eyes were filled with surprise, and he was so excited that he couldn't speak smoothly: "Qian Jiao... I... you..."
He pulled Hua Er Niang to sit beside the bed and took her pulse repeatedly.
Although the pulse is not obvious yet, it is indeed a happy pulse!
Hua Erniang was about to pull Doctor Yu to be affectionate for a while, but Doctor Yu asked Hua Erniang to sleep first:
"Qianjiao, go to sleep first. I'll go write a prescription for a healthy pregnancy and get the medicine ready. I'll boil it tomorrow morning."
Doctor Yu trotted to the pharmacy again and was busy for a long time.
In the end, Hua Erniang lost her temper, grabbed Doctor Yu's ears, and dragged him back to his room...
The next day.
Wu Zhan and Gu Qingning came to Heishan Township with large and small bags of things respectively.
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che met them at the foot of the mountain.
The few of them chatted happily from the foot of the mountain to the top, and had endless things to say.
Gu Qingning's eyes were red again, this time out of emotion. She hadn't expected Su Zhizhi to come to Lingnan to attend her wedding banquet.
Su Zhizhi: "Qing Ning, don't cry, don't cry. Save your tears for the wedding day. I heard that brides always cry when they get married."
Gu Qingning smiled again.
They sat at the stone table in Su Zhizhi's courtyard, drinking tea and talking.
Su Zhizhi asked: "After you get married, will you stay in Lingnan or go to Chang'an?"
Wu Zhan scratched his head: "In the past few years, he might not be in Lingnan or Chang'an."
Xue Che: "Are you going to Jiangnan?"
Wu Zhan shook his head: "No, I want to go south, from the seaport in Lingnan, and open up a sea trade route."
When Wu Zhan said this, Xue Che and Su Zhizhi remembered that he seemed to have said this before.
Now I actually have to explore the way myself.
Su Zhizhi: "What about the lemon?"
Gu Qingning: "I'll go with him."
Su Zhizhi: "Aren't you afraid?"
Gu Qingning covered her lips and smiled: "I am afraid, but when I think about how you dare to go to the battlefield, I am not so afraid anymore."
Xue Che: "It's not easy to open the sea transport route. Do your family members agree?"
Wu Zhan: "My mother doesn't agree, but Qing Ning and I have decided to go. My mother was angry for two days, but then she calmed down. My father agrees."
A few years ago, the Wu family once cooperated with the Song family caravan to transport goods from the Western Regions to various parts of Da Qi.
Later, due to the war in the northwest, the trade route was interrupted for a time.
At that time, Wu Zhan wanted to open a trade route to the south so that he would not have to rely solely on the northwest trade route.
Although the war is over now, the Song family has made a comeback and has close ties with the Feng family. They may not cooperate with the Wu family again.
Therefore, Wu Zhan felt that this matter was imperative.
"And, actually, I tried to walk south last year. I didn't walk far, but I did reach Mi Po." Wu Zhan mentioned his experience last year.
Gu Qingning glared at him: "What else can I say? I heard that you were captured by the Mi Po people. I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for several nights."
Xue Che: "Were you arrested in Mipo?"
Wu Zhan: "This was my first time out of Da Qi, and I had no experience. When I was in Mipo, I had a misunderstanding with the locals because of the language barrier. They arrested me, and I was terrified. I thought I was going to be eaten. I confessed everything they asked me."
"But later, King Una of Mipo ordered me to be released. When he summoned me, he said that I was welcome to travel to their side on the trade route in the future. He also--"
Wu Zhan paused for a moment, then stood up and found a package from the large and small packages of gifts at the back.
"He also told me to bring this to the princess."
Su Zhizhi: "Bring it to me?"
Wu Zhan nodded.
Una's original words were: "You came from Xunzhou in Lingnan, so you must know about Black Bandit Mountain. Take this to the daughter of the Black Bandit Mountain bandit leader, the girl named Zhizhi. Tell her that our late king's words still count."
Wu Zhan didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask too much, so he took it back obediently.
He was worried about having outsiders send him off, so he planned to have his father take him to the capital when he returned to Lingnan.
Now that I heard that Su Zhizhi had returned, I brought it over and handed it over personally.
Su Zhizhi unfolded the package.
In the soft spring light, a piece of skin appeared before the eyes of several people.
A skin removed from an animal.
It was not tiger skin, not wolf skin, not elephant skin, not any other animal skin they had ever seen.
It is dark brown, with crisscrossing grooves and closely arranged raised keratin scales, like armor.
Su Zhizhi's eyes moved slightly.
Xue Che was also a little dazed, and some images flashed through his mind.
Gu Qingning: "What is this?"
Su Zhizhi and Xue Che spoke at the same time:
"Crocodile."
Now it was Wu Zhan's turn to be surprised: "How did you know?"
Wu Zhan saw the crocodile with his own eyes when he was with Mi Po, and gestured with his hands and said:
"That crocodile is a soil dragon. It has a very long tail, and its four legs are so short that they are almost invisible. Its body is covered with scales..."
Su Zhizhi listened to Wu Zhan's description, her hand brushing over the texture of the crocodile skin, and she thought absentmindedly of the woman who had drawn a crocodile on the ground for her to see.
It turns out that crocodiles' legs are really that short, their tails are really that long, and they are really fierce and stupid.
It turned out that he was very good at painting at that time.
He was a captive, a king, and a young man.
In this world, the interactions between people are sometimes very brief, but they can leave a deep impression on people and they will never be forgotten.
Just like Su Zhizhi will never forget the picture of Ana Luo painting the crocodile when she grows up.
Xue Che will also never forget the scene where Ana Luo said he wanted to avenge his father and vent his anger for Mi Po.
Only when they went to the northwest battlefield and attacked Tiele Khan and Hunxie did they truly understand Ana Luo's state of mind at that time.
Risk everything and take revenge even if it means death.
Su Zhizhi cherishes this gift from a foreign country very much.
Her fingertips slid gently across the crocodile skin, and the uneven lines looked like scars.
So many scars.
