accomplice

Chapter 5

Zuo Ji came back leisurely, and found Mo Jia waiting for him there.

When Mo Jia saw him, he said, "100 taels?"

Looking at the contemptuous eyes, Zuo Ji knew what he was thinking.

Look down on him and sell your friend for 100 taels, right?

The medicine was originally given for drunkenness, what's wrong?

Moreover.

He didn't want to go back and be betrayed.

He ignored Mo Jia and went into the room.

Seeing this, Mo Jia didn't intend to linger, and turned to leave, but before she could take the steps, someone grabbed her by the clothes.

He turned around in confusion, it was Zuo Ji.

Zuo Ji also just thought of what to do.

His voice is not good, so he can only jump out and keep him.

Pointing at him, Zuo Ji tried his best to squeeze out his voice: "...take a bath..."

"bath?"

Can't understand?

Zuo Ji thought for a while, then changed his words: "...take a bath..."

I was drunk yesterday and said that he slept for a day and a night, plus last night, and half a day today, he felt that it was time for him to take a bath.

Even a man should pay attention to personal hygiene.

What's more, there is a very important Hongmen Banquet tonight, isn't it?

Seeking something, he winked at Mo Jia with a cute face.

Mo Jia glanced at him angrily.

Then, say, "Come with me."

As Zuo Ji expected, in such a big mansion, there really is a warm water pool specially for bathing.

This side is semi-outdoor, and the environment is quite quiet and secluded.

Zuo Ji looked around, walked around, put his hand into the pool to test the water temperature, he felt a little hot at first, but after getting used to it, he felt very comfortable.

Great.

He couldn't wait to roll up his hair.

Seeing that Mo Jia was about to leave, he hurried to stop him.

"What are you doing again?" Mo Jia stepped back, frowning.

He doesn't want him to stay here and guard the goal for him?

Zuo Ji lifted his clothes, and then put his hands together, please: "...Thank you..."

Mo Jia understood.

Isn't it just to help him get clean clothes?

After looking at his height and figure, Mo Jia nodded and left.

After watching him off, he closed the wooden door, returned to the pool, took off his clothes, and went down into the pool.

The cold skin was wrapped in warm water, and the comfortable temperature made him let out a long breath.

He felt more and more that something was wrong with his body.

It was summer now, but his hands and feet were extremely cold.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was still breathing, he really thought he was a dead person.

Come to think of it, he was also a dead person after all.

Otherwise, where did he come from.

He carefully inspected his body, there was no scar, and then thinking about his broken voice, he could probably be sure that his predecessor was a person who committed suicide by taking poison.

Although I don't know why the other party can't think about it, but when I think that the other party will stay in a place like Yuanyuan all the time, it is not difficult to understand.

"Poor thing."

He soaked his chin in the warm water, sighed, and was suddenly startled.

His voice was able to utter complete words.

He tried twice, although his voice was still very hoarse and deep, but at least he could speak complete sentences.

How could this be? !

He rubs his throat.

Is this divine water?

Just soak it? !

He is overjoyed.

Just when he was happy, his eyes suddenly went dark.

Startled, he grabbed the edge of the bathtub with his hand, but it was in vain.

Fortunately, the darkness in front of him gradually dissipated.

The salty smell of blood diffused from the nasal cavity, and the startling red dripped into the water, slowly dissipating.

"……how so?!"

He touched his nose, looked at the scarlet hands, coldness rose from his back, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Was it because of the hot water and invigorating blood that his body changed?

He didn't dare to continue soaking in the water.

He was afraid that if he fainted suddenly, he would drown in this bath.

Full of worry, he approached the edge of the bath, but it was dark again in front of his eyes. He stopped for a moment and waited for a while, but he still couldn't see anything. He panicked and was afraid to shout: "...Mo Jia, Mo Jia! Mo Jia!!!"

Soon, the door was kicked open vigorously.

Hearing the sound, Mo Jia rushed in nervously.

Seeing him for the first time, seeing him yelling about nothing, Megaton lost his temper.

Thinking that he was just urging her, Mo Jia didn't take it seriously, put the clean clothes she brought on a chair beside her, turned around and left.

But as soon as he left the door, he suddenly woke up and turned around in surprise: "What's your voice?"

It's too late to react now.

Zuo Ji heard his footsteps, and when he got anxious, he slipped and fell directly into the pool.

The hot water flooded over his head, he couldn't see anything, he grabbed at random, until he hugged something, he was lifted out of the water.

The hot water he inhaled made his throat and nasal cavity sore.

He held tightly to what he had caught, holding it tightly, his whole body trembling, terrified.

"What's the matter with you?"

Beside her ear was Mo Jia's voice.

It was Mo Jia who jumped into the water and picked him up.

Zuo Ji clung to him tightly, strangling him almost out of breath.

Seeing Zuo Ji's pale face and wide-eyed eyes, Mo Jia felt strange, and wanted to help him stand still, seeing that he refused to let go, was even more puzzled, so he heard him say: "...I can't see anything, I can't see anything... ..."

Mo Jia sounded very surprised.

Stretching out her hand in front of him, Mo Jia realized the seriousness of the matter when she saw that he was really unresponsive.

"How did this happen?" Mo Jia frowned and asked him nervously, "What did you do just now?"

"...just soaking in hot water."

Even though he was holding Mo Jia naked now, his eyes were dark and he was terrified, so he couldn't care about it.

Seeing the seriousness of the matter, Mo Jia quickly carried him out of the pool, dried him, put on his clothes, and took him to the doctor.

Later, when Li Xi, who was writing a letter in the study, heard that Mo Jia took Zuo Ji out on horseback, he was stunned.

"Did you say it was because of something?"

"No." The servant replied: "He was holding Mr. Zuo Ji in his arms, and he was in a hurry. None of us had time to ask him, so we hurriedly prepared horses for them."

This made Li Xi fall into deep thought.

At the end, he asked, "Didn't you send anyone to follow?"

"Send someone to follow secretly."

The person the servant mentioned followed all the way and followed Mo Jia to a medicine house in the city.

One of them relied on his own face, pretended to see a doctor, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and walked into the medicine hut.

He pricked up his ears, only to hear Mo Jia nervously asking the doctor, "How is it?"

The doctor was taking Zuo Ji's pulse, and the old brows were tightly frowned.

At the end, he asked Zuo Ji: "Can you see the old man now?"

Zuo Ji nodded: "I can see it."

Zuo Ji was able to see again, which surprised Mo Jia.

But accidents are accidents, and sudden blindness is no small matter after all.

Mo Jia asked the doctor again, "Then how is he doing now?"

"I can't see anything from his pulse now." The doctor also felt strange, and said: "...Why don't you bring him here again next time this happens again, and let me see what's going on? "

Since the doctor said so, Mo Jia had no choice but to do so first.

The eavesdropper listened and slipped away.

He went back to report the letter as soon as possible.

Li Xi raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard that Zuo Ji couldn't see anything suddenly.

"What did the doctor say?"

"I was able to see it again when I sent it over. The doctor couldn't see how ugly he was, so he said that if this happened again, he would be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately."

Li Xi listened, thought for a while, and said: "Send someone to the teacher, and tell him that I need his help with something, and ask him to come here someday conveniently."

"Yes."

The servant withdrew.

Li Xi sat there and continued to write his own things.

Not long after, Mo Jia came to his study.

"Back?" Li Xi didn't raise his head, just said lightly.

"I believe you already know what happened without me telling you."

"Some know it, some..." Li Xi put down his pen, "But I don't know."

Mo Jia frowned slightly.

"What? Didn't your people tell you what the doctor said?"

Hearing this, Li Xi raised his eyes.

Mo Jia ignored the situation around him because the person was in a hurry before, but as soon as the person entered the pharmacy, he knew it was someone who was following him.

Mo Jia was very dissatisfied with Li Xi's distrust.

However, Li Xi thought that there was nothing wrong with keeping an eye on him.

"Did it ever occur to you that he might be faking it?"

Li Xi's words startled Mo Jia slightly.

"The purpose is just to escape."

"It shouldn't be possible." Mo Jia retorted, "There is no need for him to escape from here."

"Who knows. You said that you have seen him from a distance, how do you know, has he seen you from a distance?"

"You mean he recognizes me?" Mo Jia frowned, but after thinking about it, he said with certainty, "Impossible."

Seeing that Mo Jia was very sure about this, he smiled lightly: "That's good."

Mo Jia still knows how to be soft.

After all, everyone cooperates, there is no need to fight.

He took a step back: "I admit that it is indeed lack of consideration to take him out of the house without authorization, but fortunately he is fine, and we didn't encounter any problems back and forth."

Hearing what Mo Jia said, Li Xi followed him and said, "I just want to help you be careful. Be careful with the Wannian Ship. If anything happens, it will be bad for you and me."

Mo Jia understood.

He nodded to Li Xi, and finally went out.

Li Xi rolled up what he had written just now into a small strip of cloth, got up and walked to one side of the cage, lifted the cloth cover, grabbed the pigeon, and stuffed the small strip of cloth into the fine metal tube on the pigeon's feet.

When he came to the window, he let the pigeon out.

Not far away, by the lotus pond, Zuo Ji was holding a string of candied haws and squatting on the side of the short railing with a fat orange cat to tease the fish, he couldn't help but smile.

He was drawn to it.

He walked there with his hands behind his back and looked at it quietly for a while, before he asked, "Where did the cat come from?"

Zuo Ji heard the sound, turned his head up, and finally, looked at the fluffy fat orange beside him, stood up, and said, "Isn't it raised by your family?"

Fat Ju noticed Li Xi's joining, straightened out her chubby belly, and slipped away.

Only then did Zuo Ji realize that this is a thief.

But it's no wonder, there are so many fish in this lotus pond, it's no wonder it doesn't attract cats.

After seeing off the fat orange, Li Xi returned his gaze to the candied haws in Zuo Ji's hand.

This kid's favorite food, Zuo Ji, ate it with gusto, and even invited him: "Mo Jia bought it for me, do you want to try it?"

In fact, Mo Jia bought it for him at his strong request.

When I came back, I met him on the street, and I really wanted to know the difference between the current one and the modern ones, so he gave Mo Jia a hard time, and Mo Jia couldn't stand him, so he had to pay for it.

Li Xi shook his head with a smile, and finally said, "Mo Jia treats you very well."

"Uh..." Zuo Ji didn't understand what he meant, rolled his eyes, and didn't deny it: "Yes."

At this time, a servant came over and whispered something in Li Xi's ear.

Li Xi listened, smiled faintly, turned his eyes to Zuo Ji: "I'll take care of you tonight."
