You only like my face

The two walked around the street for nearly half an hour, but found nothing.

Ye Ziqing and Gu Qingyuan were chatting one after another.

Hearing the nonsense of the Taoist priest beside him, Ye Ziqing didn't know why, but suddenly felt that the person beside him was quite interesting, not the high-ranking person he imagined at all.

Before they knew it, the two of them had already walked along the turning street towards the inn where they stayed before.

"Doctor Li, Doctor Li, please, please take a look. This is the medicine I picked in Shangluofengshan. How much can I pay off the debt?"

When Zi Ziqing and Gu Qingyuan passed by a medicine store, they heard a woman's pleading voice through the half-closed door.

"Mrs. Hu, this medicinal material is really not worth much. You owe me so much... Well, Mrs. Hu, you also know that business is not doing well recently. If I give you more credit, you won't be able to make it through In a few days, my pharmacy will be closed."

"But my husband's medicine has already been taken. If he doesn't drink the medicine, he will die."

"Luofeng Mountain?" Gu Qingyuan repeated it in a low voice at the door, then stopped and did not move.

Ye Ziqing glanced inside, saw that the inside was dim and he couldn't see anything at all, so he pulled Gu Qingyuan's sleeve and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"The woman said that she went to Luofeng Mountain to collect medicine." Gu Qingyuan moved towards Lu Yi without any trace, and said, "She is very courageous, and she is also very lucky."

so what?What's there to stop and eavesdrop on?

Ye Ziqing thought.

While the two were discussing, there was a moment of silence inside, and after a while, an old voice sounded, a little helpless but more resolute: "Madam Hu, I'm sorry. Xiao Zhou, see off the guests."

"Yes."

"No no no, I will pay back the money, please, Doctor Li, Doctor Li!!!"

"Mrs. Zhou, go back."

The sound of pushing and arguing inside was getting closer and closer, the last woman in coarse linen was pushed out from the door, staggered and almost fell down, but fortunately Ye Ziqing gave the woman a firm foothold .

At this time, a young man came out from behind the door, holding a bamboo basket, looked at the woman pushed out by him, sighed, put down the bamboo basket, went back and closed the door.

The woman looked at the bamboo basket at the door and was overshadowed.Then, realizing that there were people behind her, the woman hurriedly turned around and saluted the two of them: "Thank you both just now."

Ye Ziqing shook her head: "You're welcome."

Hearing Ye Ziqing's voice, the woman raised her head. When she raised her head, she was a little surprised when she saw the speaker. Then a blush crept up her face, and she immediately realized that something was wrong, so she lowered her head shyly, "Sorry."

Ye Ziqing tilted her head, she didn't understand why she reacted like this.

"Madam Hu," Gu Qingyuan said immediately upon seeing this, "Can I ask what happened to your husband?"

"how do you know--"

"Sorry, I just passed by here with my friend and heard about it. My friend and I both have some medicine, so I thought maybe I could help you."

"You have such good intentions?" The woman became suspicious, her good feelings for the two disappeared completely, and she took a few steps back at the same time, looking warily at the two in front of her.

"Of course not." Gu Qingyuan was serious, "We will also ask you to do something for us as a price."

Ye Ziqing: "..."

Maybe it was someone who "marked the price clearly", and Madam Hu's suspicion finally dissipated. Out of concern for her husband, Madam Hu quickly led the two of them to her residence, or in other words, home——

Her home is located in a small village near the outskirts, not far from the town, but if she travels to the town every few days, it is still quite tiring for a woman.

Passing by a century-old tree, and then turning around a small soil bag, the group of people saw a small thatched cottage in the distance, surrounded by fences, with clothes hangers in the yard and quilts drying.

It seems that this family is not very rich, and their life is very simple, but there is warmth everywhere.

A thin man was taking out clothes from a tub, wringing out the water, and trying to hang them on the clothesline, but he coughed because of too much movement.

"Husband!"

When Mrs. Hu saw this scene, she became anxious for a moment, ignoring the two people behind her, she quickly ran over, snatched the naked clothes from the thin man's hand, and said, "How do you do this? Don't let Are you resting in bed? What if you are sick again?"

The thin man smirked "hehe", rubbed his hands on his body twice, and said, "I feel better recently, so I want to do something for my wife. My lady has worked hard to take care of me for so many days."

Hearing what the man said, Mrs. Hu, who was about to accuse her, suddenly choked, her eyes turned red, and she murmured, "It's not bitter."

"cough."

It was a touching scene, but what did it matter to them?Ye Ziqing leaned on the fence and couldn't help but fake cough, reminding the couple that there was someone beside them.

After the man came to his senses, he said doubtfully, "Ma'am, these two are—"

"Oh, doctor, I have invited two doctors." Mrs. Hu hurriedly explained, for fear that her husband would be suspicious.

But these two people have extraordinary manners, no matter how you look at them, they don't look like doctors, especially the one in the cloak. For some reason, the more he looks, the more evil he looks. The man was a little worried, and he held his wife's hand and said, "I..."

"bang"

Before he could finish speaking, the man suddenly fell back on his back, unconscious.

Mrs. Hu: "..."

Gu Qingyuan calmly withdrew his fingers and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Regarding what Gu Qingyuan did, Ye Ziqing felt speechless, and stood there blankly for a long time;

When Mrs. Hu saw her husband lying dead, she almost collapsed, she stretched out her finger and scratched Gu Qingyuan's face with an "Aww".

Later, in the chaos, Ye Ziqing sighed, consciously passed the two people who were fighting, picked up the man who was lying on the ground, and carried him to the bed in the back room.

After arranging the man, Ye Ziqing sat by the bed and thought for a long time, then sighed to the unconscious man:

"You have a good wife."

After Ye Ziqing took the pulse, he went back to the yard and saw that Gu Qingyuan was still trying to explain to Mrs. Hu: "I really didn't hurt your husband with that blow."

At this time, Mrs. Hu didn't have the slightest dignified look, she looked at Gu Qingyuan fiercely, wishing she could bite him:

"Shut up! I believe the head office, right? Let the old lady undo the curse!"

Ye Ziqing rubbed her forehead, feeling a little headache: "Mrs. Hu, I just took your husband's pulse. He is in good health now, just need to rest more, but—"

Mrs. Hu: "Just what?"

"His heart veins seem to have been injured before. Although the wound is almost healed, it has hurt his foundation. Be more careful in the future, and, to be honest, he won't live long."

"I know." Madam Hu calmed down and said, "So I've been going to the town to buy Danshen for him."

But how can such a small place have any good medicine?

Expensive and not effective.It's no wonder that Mrs. Hu would pay on credit in the end.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyuan released the confinement spell, and at the same time took out two bottles of Yulu pills from the storage bag, handed them to Mrs. Hu, and said: "This is the medicine that monks often use to replenish qi and blood. It is good for your husband once every three days. One is enough."

After a pause, he continued, "You are a good wife."

Madam Hu was stunned for a while, then she took the medicine bottle that Gu Qingyuan handed over, and suddenly burst into tears.

Before leaving, Gu Qingyuan suddenly took out a tattered Taoist robe to Mrs. Hu, saying, "Sew this dress well" is the price he gave Mrs. Hu Yulu Wan.

Ye Ziqing didn't speak the whole time.

As soon as the two returned to the inn, they saw Mu Tianqi was already waiting in the lobby.

After seeing the two of them coming back, Mu Tianqi's first reaction was to step forward quickly, squeeze Gu Qingyuan away, hold Ye Ziqing's hand, and carefully asked, "Are you okay?"

Gu Qingyuan walked past the two of them expressionlessly and went upstairs.

What does it matter to him?Ye Ziqingzhanger was puzzled, with a confused look on his face: "It's okay."

"It's fine." Mu Tianqi sighed, "Eldest senior brother hasn't done anything yet."

"what?"

"It's nothing. Oh, by the way, let's go up quickly. I went to Yizhuang this time, asked Zuo Zuo, and found a clue."

In the previous life, after Bai Ze was subdued, there was also a heart-poaching case near Luofeng Mountain.

But because he wasn't with the elder brother last time, Mu Tianqi didn't pay attention to the heart-digging case at that time, and turned around to chase the dishonest Bai Ze, but unexpectedly fell into a secret realm.

In this life, because of the addition of a senior brother, Bai Ze was very honest. Mu Tianqi told him to go east, but Bai Ze would never go west, which saved a lot of trouble.

So Mu Tianqi decided, after solving the heart-digging case, he would rush back to Xuantianzong with Bai Ze in his arms, and then he would not come out casually after being beaten to death.As for the secret realm, whoever wants to go can go, as long as it is not him.

Thinking of this, Mu Tianqi was immediately full of energy, so he spared no effort. After visiting the family members of each victim, he went to Yizhuang to inquire about who had seen the corpse.

"Wu Zuo said that the death methods of the deceased are exactly the same." Mu Tianqi stood in Gu Qingyuan's room and explained to the two of them. The heart was pulled out, the deceased showed no signs of struggle, the ribs were broken, the murderer was very precise and did not hesitate."

Gu Qingyuan pressed someone's hand expressionlessly.

The end point of that hand is Ye Ziqing's chest.

Ye Ziqing didn't realize it, and continued to ask following Mu Tianqi's words: "What else?"

"Oh," Mu Tianqi took a lot of effort to withdraw his hand, and said, "Most of the dead died not at night, but during the day."

"daytime?"

"Ah."

"By the way, what's more, Wu Zuo said that judging from the palm prints, the murderer should not be tall."

Let's talk about Mrs. Hu's side.

After sending the two away, Mrs. Hu immediately ran into the thatched hut. Seeing her husband lying on the bed, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the two bottles of Yulu pills in her hand, and put them on the table.

She could finally rest for a while.

After putting down the Yulu pill, Madam Hu relaxed, her brows were a little tired, but more relaxed.

Madam Hu turned around, and was going to hang out the clothes that her husband had washed before, and then cook a delicious meal as a reward.

However, just as she turned around, Madam Hu's face suddenly showed amazement, she turned back abruptly, and saw a cup full of water on the table, reflecting her shadow.

After Madam Hu looked at that cup of tea, ripples suddenly appeared in the center of the calm water.
