Chapter 237 Separation
I looked up alertly and saw a young girl, dressed simply and carrying a basket, who looked like a fruit seller on the street.
She asked me timidly, "Excuse me, are you Miss Lanxiang from Qingqiu?"
At this time and place, even if she is just a weak woman, how could I dare to say anything casually?
I just asked her vaguely: "Who are you?"
She looked around, took a few steps forward, and whispered, "My name is Zhong Xiaoyin, you don't know me, young lady. But my brother Xiaofeng was once favored by you."
The name sounded familiar to me, but I couldn't remember where I had heard it.
She continued, "In the city of Chenyi, in the Yingbang, my brother got money from the girl and her master to treat my illness. After the illness was cured, we had some money left to live with our relatives nearby."
I remembered that this was indeed the case and nodded.
When she saw me nodding, she hurriedly said, "Miss, that man has been wandering around here since last night. I heard him instruct others to prepare a carriage and said he wanted to transport him to Mr. Fan's place or something. Do you know anything about this, Miss?"
I was shocked. I thought Mr. Huang was going to find a carriage right away, but I didn't expect that he had already prepared it. I was afraid that he was not going to find a carriage at this moment, but to set a trap.
Young Master Fan and Tu Shanjing do not have a friendly relationship. Master Huang might have set up a trap on the road. I wonder if Xiaoshun outside the west city gate is okay at this time.
Seeing that I looked unhappy, Xiao Yin asked anxiously, "Miss, what went wrong?"
I held her hand and asked her, "Can I trust you?"
She nodded vigorously: "Girl, I'm not lying! I heard your names from my brother and I've always remembered them. I thought that if I could meet you in the future, I would definitely repay you."
I squeezed her hand and told her, "Then I'll leave it to you. I'll show my true colors after that person has treated his eyes. After that, I'll try to hold him back and find a chance to jump on the carriage. You can help me drive the carriage and take him there—"
Where should we go? Qingqiu is too far away, and I am afraid that Tushan Hou will catch up with us on the way. Chenyi City is closer, but even though there is Fenglong and Master Fan, I am afraid that I will send him back to the tiger's mouth.
The world is so big, but there is no place where I can hide him safely.
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind, and I asked her, "Do you know how to get to Qingshui Town?"
She opened her eyes wide and replied, "I think I've heard of it. It's in the east. I'll ask around after I leave the city."
I thought so too, so I took out the pass box and five hundred taels of silver from my pocket and handed them to her, saying, "Okay, we are going to Huichuntang in Qingshui Town. Here is the pass, and you can say that your sister fell down while collecting herbs in the mountains, and she has seen a doctor and is in a hurry to go back to her hometown to recuperate. Remember, no matter what happens next, don't stop, and no matter who you meet, don't tell the truth! Come back when you drop us off, don't stay too long, and try not to talk to anyone when you come back, in case you are discovered and get into trouble again."
Xiao Yin nodded and took note. I asked her for her basket again, untied the rope tied to the handle and put it into the basket, and gave her these instructions.
After hearing what I said, she went and hid nearby.
Not long after, Master Huang came back driving a horse-drawn carriage.
Seeing that we were hiding in the corner obediently, he smiled playfully and asked, "What is the girl holding?"
I raised the basket in my hand and said, "I saw that the fruits sold on the roadside are quite fresh, so I bought some to eat on the way. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the young master will have a poor appetite and won't be able to eat."
Mr. Huang smiled and said, "Young lady, you are so considerate! Come on, change your bloodstained clothes first, then we will get him into the car, and we need to treat his eyes."
I took the clothes he handed me and changed in the car. Then I helped him lift Tu Shanjing into the car, turned around and took the basket and put it at the door of the car.
Master Huang turned his back to the car door and asked me, "Are you ready? My method is a family secret. You must swear not to tell anyone. I'm afraid of getting in trouble."
I raised my hand and swore, "I swear that from now on I will never let anyone know about Master Huang's treatment today. If anyone disobeys this, God will strike me with lightning."
He stared at me and said, "Also, if you disobey me, Tu Shanjing will not have a good end. Speak."
I was stunned, and said the second half of the sentence in the same way. He really understood me.
He flipped his right hand and a crystal mirror appeared in his hand.
He muttered something, and the crystal mirror reflected light, which was extremely dazzling to my eyes. At the same time, my body felt weak and a bone-gnawing pain rose up in my body. I could feel the spiritual energy continuously draining out of my body.
I clenched my teeth and tried to hold it back, trembling. I squinted my eyes and tried to see that the spiritual power was reflected by the crystal mirror and entered Tu Shanjing's eyes. The scars on his face that penetrated deep into the bones gradually healed, leaving only a shallow layer of flesh wounds.
My sight suddenly became shorter, and when I looked down at my hand, it had turned into a paw covered with white fur with a hint of light gold.
Master Huang put away the crystal mirror and said to me, "It's OK. It's cured."
The next second, I held the basket in my mouth and threw it at him.
The fruits and baskets were thrown at him head on, catching him off guard. He leaned back and fell out of the car.
I held the rope in the basket in my mouth again and deftly wrapped it around his feet and the stone block next to him twice.
I heard Xiao Yin climb up behind me and drive away the carriage.
I spit out the rope, turned around and planned to run a few steps and jump onto the carriage.
A pair of black official boots came into view.
"What's going on? Junyi, go and take a look. Is that the person Uncle Wang and the others are looking for?" a magnetic voice sounded.
Mr. Huang covered the back of his head with one hand and pointed at the carriage with the other, he was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
I looked up and saw Xuan was looking in the direction of his finger towards the carriage heading towards the city gate.
I sighed. It was a pity that I didn’t even get to see Tu Shanjing wake up. Maybe this was fate.
I jumped lightly and took away the exquisite jade sachet hanging on Xuanxuan's waist.
"Hey! That's what Xiaoyao gave me... chase that fox for me!" Xuan shouted behind me.
I hold it in my mouth and run to crowded places.
There were so many people that they couldn't shoot arrows, and I was small, so I was running around at the feet of passers-by, so they couldn't catch me.
Xuan became anxious, found a gap, raised his hand, and a ray of light flew over and hit me.
I shouted, but what came out of my mouth was no longer human words, but the howl of a wild beast.
The next second, a hand grabbed my neck and lifted me up.
Under Xuanxuan's narrow double eyelids, her black eyes were staring at me unhappily.
Taking advantage of the height from which he was carrying me, I could see the carriage driving out of the city gate far behind him.
I relaxed my limbs with relief and took just one look without daring to look any further.
Unfortunately, I only spent a short period of time with Tu Shanjing.
I used to think it was normal, but now I regret that I worked hard and didn't take the time to look at him more. I haven't seen enough.
Xuan handed me to Junyi and tied the jade sachet back around his waist.
Jun Yi's grip was much more painful than his, and he held me and asked, "Master, this fox offended you, should we catch it and kill it?"
Xuan stared at me and said, "No need. Maybe it recognized the tail inside as one of its fox clans, so it took it away. Light golden white foxes are rare. Take it back and raise it. Maybe Xiaoyao will like it when she comes back."
"Yes!" After saying that, Jun Yi took out a rope, tied it around my chest and neck, carried me back to the horse and tied it behind the saddle.
"My Lord, that person is gone."
