Chapter 220 It’s time to go back
The poison in Qinghua's body is not difficult to cure, but it cannot be cured today, after all, the poison is not in An Yan's body.
An Yan said, "You should go to the East Palace. The eldest lady can cure it for you."
"She can't treat illnesses, so how can she cure my poison?"
"The poison is with her, but you need to spend some money." An Yan told him.
"We don't have much money in the mountains, and we're all poor brothers." Qinghua was a little embarrassed about this and said, "I'm in seclusion 360 days a year, and I don't know where to find money."
"What benefits have you gained from your daily retreat?"
"It seems that I haven't gained any benefits, but I just don't want to face these things outside. Out of sight, out of mind." Qinghua told her the truth.
"Since you are the master of the mountain, you should shoulder the responsibilities of the mountain master and make sure your brothers don't suffer too much." An Yan reminded him.
Qinghua chuckled lightly, his laughter tinged with sarcasm, and said, "Ah, I get a headache when I see what's happening outside. The truth is, I'm incompetent and simply can't manage this mountain well. How could I not know there are treasures in the mountain? It's just that I don't have the ability."
"How about this, you hand over the entire mountain to me and I'll pay the rent?" An Yan felt that this was the right time to bring it up.
Qinghua thought this method was naturally good, and he said, "This is naturally good, you name a price."
"What do you want? Just name your price."
"How about I discuss this with my brothers?" Qinghua asked.
"Of course. After you've discussed it, go to Xicheng together and tell them." An Yan nodded.
At this time, the great elder came over with medicine and said to Qinghua, "Mountain Master, please drink the medicine."
"Great Elder, go and call all the brothers in the mountains. I have something to say." Qinghua ordered him.
The Great Elder was slightly excited when he saw Qinghua had recovered. He said, "Ah, the Mountain Master is full of energy again." He turned to look at Anyan and said, "The City Master of West City is indeed extraordinary. He really cured our Mountain Master. Otherwise, we don't know what to do."
"It's a small matter." An Yan signaled him not to cry, and then said to Qinghua, "Remember to go to the East Palace. The poison in your body cannot be delayed."
"I understand." Qinghua nodded.
An Yan stood up and said to Qinghua, "In that case, it's time for me to go back. If there is anything, report it to Xicheng." As she was about to leave, she saw a small snake crawling in from outside.
It was the little black snake she had just rescued. She also saw a big black snake and a small black snake at the door.
Qinghua was a little surprised and said to the big snake at the door: "Dahei, why did you come out? Nothing happened outside."
The big black snake swam in, nodded at An Yan, then looked at the little black snake and touched his body.
The little black snake crawled to An Yan's feet, looked at her, and slowly coiled up.
The Great Elder said, "Little Black Number Two wants to follow you."
"That won't do. The black snake is the treasure of your Flower Snake Mountain." An Yan knew that one should not take away someone else's treasure.
"I don't know what auspicious day it was this year. Perhaps it was the only useful thing the Poison Fairy did, but Dahei gave birth to two little black snakes, and named them No. 1 and No. 2." Qinghua became happy when she mentioned this.
"The mountain master's name is very resonant." The great elder came out quickly to flatter him.
Li Rongsen frowned slightly, thinking that this was not a good name at all, it was too perfunctory.
"The female is number one, the male is number two, and the one who's going with you now is number two," Qinghua said to Anyan, adding, "He sees you're happy and insists on going with you. Just accept him, and he'll be helpful in refining the medicine for you."
"If the little thing is really willing to follow me, I will naturally be happy." As An Yan said this, he bent down, spread out his palm, and let the little snake crawl onto his palm.
"He is a male snake and won't grow up soon." The elder said to her again.
An Yan knew this; she had seen it in the academy. Black snakes were the king of poison removal. She expressed her gratitude repeatedly, then picked up the basket woven from branches, put the little black snake in it, and went down the mountain with Li Rongsen.
Li Rongsen asked: "Should we change his name?"
"Let's call him Xiao Hei. Let him be friends with Big Cat." As An Yan spoke, she placed Xiao Hei in front of Big Cat so that he could have a better look at her. Then she added, "While I'm away from West City, you have to help keep an eye on Xiao Hei. He's so small, he can't be bullied by an eagle."
The big cat roared, as if it understood what they said.
The two of them returned to West City with their two pets.
"Wait until Xiao Hei's injury is healed and then bring him to me." An Yan instructed him.
The old man was a little surprised when he saw Xiao Hei. He asked, "Qinghua is so generous that he even gave away the little black snake."
"He insisted on following An Yan here, and there was no way the mountain master would disagree." Li Rongsen explained.
"That's true. I was thinking Qinghua is such a stingy person, why would he give away the King of Gu? Is he asking us to trade him for Xicheng?"
"I've negotiated a deal with him, and now it depends on his opinion." An Yan said to the old man, and then took the warm water he handed over and said, "He is not very good at taking care of it. I thought I could take care of the medicinal herbs on the mountain for him. I happen to need these things too. I'm also trying to find a way to cultivate some and plant them outside."
"He will definitely agree. It's better than letting it go to waste." The old man thought it was a good idea.
"Now we just wait for him to name his price." An Yan said.
The old man nodded slightly and said, "I should go wash my hair."
"Go and wash your hair. It takes you a whole day to wash your hair. The weather is good today. I'll have someone send you a better hair dryer next time." An Yan said to him.
"One is not enough, you must give me ten at least."
"I'll take care of this." Li Rongsen quickly agreed on behalf of An Yan.
The old man looked towards Li Rongsen and said, "Come to West City from time to time and chat with us. We can also meet our brothers from the same city from time to time."
An Yanqing coughed and said to the old man, "I have already untied the hair, so please don't have any more bad ideas."
"Oh, I feel so sorry for you. He volunteered to be a city slave." The old man said as he turned to ask Li Rongsen, "Don't you think so?"
"I volunteered," Li Rongsen replied seriously.
Then the old man said, "Give me your heart and your body willingly."
An Yan quickly stopped him: "Why don't you go wash your hair? You talk too much nonsense."
The old man chuckled, patted Li Rongsen on the shoulder, and said, "Hey, you can take the initiative to hand yourself over."
Li Rongsen always felt that what he said was strange, and seeing An Yan's bad expression, he didn't dare to ask. He thought that he would know it later, or ask Yan Qingqiu.
Oh, when I think of Yan Qingqiu, I don’t know how he is doing. Maybe he has retired to the countryside with that woman, which would be good too.
Outside, a man came over and said, "City Lord, there's someone outside asking to see you. He said he's from the East Palace."
"Please ask him to come in." An Yan said as she sat down in the main seat.
The man came to deliver a letter to the eldest daughter of the East Palace. He handed the letter to An Yan and said, "The eldest daughter said it is extremely urgent. I must help you."
An Yan opened the letter and it said that Zhou Ziyi had escaped from the East Palace.
Good guy, he must have taken advantage of the chaos in the mansion to run away. An Yan said, "Go back and tell the young lady that I know."
Li Rongsen asked: "Is it something serious?"
"Zhou Ziyi escaped." An Yan answered calmly.
"I'm afraid he fled back home."
An Yan only said, "We should go back too. There are a lot of things going on over there. I don't know how Sheng Mingjie is recovering."
