28, midnight
Hua Rongyue did not take the initiative to find Wu Ci, because she knew that this was not the task assigned to her by the Six Gates.
Others may need to take the initiative, but for her, the most important thing is to play the role of "Yi Linglong" honestly and well.
Yan Sheng had told her before that if she confirmed that someone on the list was really obsessed, then she would hand him over to the Six Doors. If not, then she could "hint" him about his identity and then let him
The other party left safely.
If it wasn't for some secret purpose, how could Liu Men give this order? In Liu Men's eyes, Yi Linglong might be dead. If those who left Baicao Hall did so "quietly" or "secretly"
To reveal some news about Yi Linglong's here to the outside world... given time, Hua Rongyue might really replace the real Yi Linglong.
Recently, she was sitting on the Diaoyutai in Baicao Hall, calmly waiting for the volunteers to take the bait. However, there has been a lot of noise outside recently. It is probably that Yan Sheng hopes to attract Wu Ci, so he has stepped up his efforts. Now Yi Linglong is here.
Even the kids next door know the news.
Hua Rongyue and the others were eating in the house that day. Hua Rongyue was drinking red bean porridge stewed by Wan Fulian and listening to the other three chatting.
"Why do we keep hearing that Yi Linglong is coming to our place recently?" Dr. Qi said, "At first I thought it was a rumor, but the more it is spread, the more real it seems."
"Who knows?" Wan Fulian said, "I always feel that there is a creaking sound on the roof in the middle of the night recently. Fortunately, Brother Rongyue lives in the lobby, so I feel more at ease, but Brother Rongyue will move back tonight.
Already."
"If you're afraid, it's okay if I don't move back." Hua Rongyue said with a smile, "I'm used to living here anyway, so moving back would be troublesome."
"I've actually been thinking about something these past few days." Xiao Han, who had been quiet and strangely beside him just now, suddenly said, "Do you remember when people came from Baicao Hall a few days ago?"
He's been a little strange lately, he's been much quieter than usual. It started about two days ago. For most people, it's not strange to be quiet. But for a humanoid Erha, this is probably what he needs to do more.
sign.
Hua Rongyue kept staring at him to see what was going on with him. In fact, just like when Wan Fulian called her "Brother Rongyue" just now, Xiao Han didn't pay much attention to her, and she already felt very magical.
Isn't this Hammer stupid?
"Don't mention that. I finally forgot about it. I was eating and it turned off my appetite." Doctor Qi waved his hand.
"What's your appetite if I talk to you about business?" Xiao Han saw Hua Rongyue looking this way and shouted, "What are you looking at? What does this have to do with you? You were not in the room that day.
"
Hua Rongyue felt inexplicably relieved when she saw that Xiao Han was actually willing to pay attention to her. She smiled bitterly and thought to herself, could it be that she has become a habit of being abused?
She didn't want to offend Xiao Han, after all, it would be troublesome for this guy to go crazy, so she lowered her head and drank her porridge quietly.
"Didn't we see a masked man in blue clothes in the alley that day? I have been wondering who this man is. After all, his martial arts skills are very high, and his sudden appearance here is confusing.
This little place is poor and run-down, with nothing good to offer..."
The sound of Doctor Qi moving his chopsticks disappeared. Hua Rongyue lowered her head and didn't see his expression, but she always felt that Doctor Qi was complaining in his heart, "I'm sorry, I'm just a doctor living in this poor and shabby little place."
"Then this rumor happened to have started recently. Coupled with what happened that day..."
Xiao Han touched his chin and said slowly.
"Tell me...that person that day, could he be Yi Linglong?"
"Hiss—" Hua Rongyue, who was drinking porridge, suddenly made a gasping sound.
Everyone at the table looked at her, and for a moment everyone in the room had surprise on their faces.
Hua Rongyue noticed that everyone was looking at her, touched the corners of her mouth, waved her hands and said, "It's okay, I drank a little too fast and got burned."
She picked up the warm tea and took a few sips. Just as a new patient arrived at the door, she quickly got up and ran over, "Are you feeling uncomfortable in any way? The doctor is having a meal. Please wait a moment.
"
"Brother Rong Yue actually got burned?" Wan Fulian felt as if he had seen a new world, "He is not usually so impatient."
"I don't know. I also feel strange. How is the perm done? Do you need to apply some medicine later?" Dr. Qi also said.
Hua Rongyue gasped and walked towards the door. She was not burned, but she was suddenly shocked by Xiao Han's words and bit her tongue.
In order not to let others see it, she held it in and did not scream. Now her mouth was so salty that she almost committed suicide by biting her tongue on the spot.
How did he guess so accurately? No... I can't say it was accurate. In fact, it was a wrong guess, because on the surface it looked like a fake...
But this counterfeit is actually the real thing.
Hua Rongyue felt that it was easy for her to get confused. She thought that Xiao Han's sixth sense was really terrible.
And he said it in a very relaxed and casual tone as if he was just talking nonsense.
I'm afraid he never thought in his life that the person he was talking about was eating at the same table as him.
As soon as the door opened, the person outside was a stranger with no face he had seen. Hua Rongyue let him in and then asked him what he needed.
"Is there any white medicine?"
"Yes, yes, please wait, I'll get it right away." Hua Rongyue immediately turned around and went to the medicine cabinet to get it. They have quite a lot of Baiyao in their store, and people who travel around the world often come to buy some Baiyao.
She poured the bulk white medicine into a small bottle at the counter, sealed it and handed it to the stranger opposite. After he took the white medicine, his eyes paused on Hua Rongyue's hand.
"Hold it." Hua Rongyue immediately realized that the other party was looking at the calluses on her hands, and she reminded her aloud. There were several calluses on her hands that could not be removed. These calluses were worn away when holding the knife.
Yes, some people who often use knives will be like this. The calluses on Hua Rongyue's hands are also old, but people who don't use knives generally can't recognize them.
The stranger took the white medicine and turned around and left.
Hua Rongyue always felt that there was something strange about that man. The strangeness was like a fish bone stuck in the throat that couldn't be pulled out, but the man looked extremely normal in appearance.
She didn't think much about it at the time. When she came back, she finished the porridge and everyone stopped discussing the topic Yi Linglong had just talked about, which made her relieved.
After finishing the meal, Doctor Qi suddenly said to Hua Rongyue, "Do you know Mr. Jiang? He bought a house nearby and said he would come to live for a while. He said he would come to our place to take a look later today.
.”
"Why did he buy a house here?" Hua Rongyue asked.
"Young men from rich families can buy wherever they like. We can't control that much." Doctor Qi said with a smile.
——About half an hour later, Jiang Lianhuan arrived.
As soon as Jiang Lianhuan entered the door, he walked towards Dr. Qi and followed him to greet him for a long time.
Hua Rong Yuexin said that this was the organization of the companions who arrived...the companions were too hao, so they came as soon as they were told.
She lowered her head and sorted out various medical records, but did not immediately go up to talk to Jiang Lianhuan. After all, she would have plenty of time to talk in the future.
Jiang Lianhuan and Boss Qi chatted for a long time before slowly walking towards Hua Rongyue's place. He stood in front of Hua Rongyue and said, "Are you the new apprentice in the store?"
"It's me." Hua Rongyue said softly, as if she didn't recognize him.
"Why do apprentices need to do so many things?" Jiang Lianhuan looked at the densely packed papers on Hua Rongyue's desk and asked, "Doctor Qi said you have good ginseng in your store, get me some."
"The ginseng is in the back." Hua Rongyue stood up and said, "Come with me and I will get it for you right away."
The two came to the backyard one after another.
After Blood Gourd moved away, there was no one else in the backyard, only the two of them.
After entering the backyard, Jiang Lianhuan's movements and expressions remained unchanged. Hua Rongyue secretly observed and found that this man was also very dedicated. Although he was abnormal, his professional ability was still very strong.
Also, if the professional level is not strong, can Yi Linglong be deceived into that?
"Has Wu Ci been here?" Jiang Lianhuan asked Hua Rongyue in a confidential voice without looking at Hua Rongyue or even moving his mouth.
"No." Hua Rongyue said.
"What about the rest?"
"No. Are you going to live here from now on?"
"I have to live here for a while." Jiang Lianhuan said, "My external attitude is that I moved here because I was interested in the rumors about Yi Linglong's residence. Just remember, don't get involved."
Hua Rongyue thought for a moment and said, "No."
The two of them said a few words, and then Hua Rongyue and Jiang Lianhuan walked out with ginseng. Jiang Lianhuan said goodbye to Doctor Qi with a smile, then turned and left.
Doctor Qi stood at the door until Jiang Lianhuan could no longer see his shadow, and then he sighed, "As expected of a young master from a big family, his demeanor is different."
Hua Rongyue smiled inexplicably on the side, and no one else knew what she was laughing about. Doctor Qi turned to look at Hua Rongyue and asked, "Is the burnt area serious today? Do you need some medicine?"
"No need." Hua Rongyue shook her head, "It's almost done."
"That's good." Doctor Qi said, "There are white medicine and badger oil in the medicine cabinet. If the burn is severe, use some."
Hua Rongyue returned to the cabinet and suddenly paused there, as if stunned.
Just now when Doctor Qi was talking about Baiyao, she suddenly remembered something. She finally knew what was wrong with the person during the day.
——He used the art of disguise.
There was an exquisite mask on his face that covered his original appearance. The strange feeling that Hua Rongyue noticed was brought to her by Yi Linglong, who was also a master of disguise.
During the day, she had just told Jiang Lianhuan that no strange people had come recently, but it turned out that just an hour before Jiang Lianhuan came, a strange person had already come and left.
Hua Rongyue instantly felt a chill on her back.
——Many things in the arena happened unconsciously. She always felt that she didn’t have enough experience in the arena, so she was always cautious, but she almost fell into trouble.
After realizing that the person who came during the day was strange, Hua Rongyue still slept in the lobby that night and kept vigil. Wan Fulian asked her if she wanted to go back to sleep? She said no.
At midnight, Hua Rongyue opened her eyes and listened to the sounds outside, and recognized the faint sound of footsteps in the silent night.
