The Sick Beauty in the Republic of China

"Shen Sheng?!" Seeing Qi Chensheng's expression froze slightly, Wang Luan thought he was injured by a bump on a rock, so he hurriedly struggled from his arms to look at his back, but was pushed back by Qi Chensheng.

"Ninth brother, I'm fine." Qi Chensheng patted Wang Luan reassuringly. At this time, Yingtao was about to find her, so he raised his voice slightly and said, "Go to the main courtyard to see Aunt Ji's child. Come here later and wait."

Yingtao had just turned back to the stone pile, when she heard Wang Luan's exclamation, and saw the corners of the two people's intertwined clothes, she suddenly thought of something, her face became hot, and she hurriedly stepped back a few steps to respond. Said: "Yes, I will go now..."

After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Wang Luan also came to his senses now, looked at the pile of rocks in the corner, and asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"

Qi Chensheng didn't tease him anymore, he put his arms around Wang Luan in one hand, held the gentleman's stick in the other, and looked around again.But even at such a slightly farther distance than before, there was a faint aura of holding a demon in the capital, and it was no longer detectable.

"Is there a problem here?" Wang Luan didn't see anything special about the stone pile, he could only look at Qi Chensheng's expression.

"I feel...it's the holding demon." Qi Chensheng nodded, rubbing the gentleman's stick in his hand, under the rockery that originally blocked the sun, it became a little darker.

Four consecutive stars fell on the stone pile flickeringly, and then the light gradually deepened. Something seemed to be disturbed, and it vibrated, and more gravel fell off.

In the main courtyard, the baby's weak cry continued, but another cry seemed to come from a secret place.

Along with the crying, there was also an indescribable coldness, which gradually infected Wang Luan's back.

Wang Luan frowned slightly in discomfort, Qi Chensheng's eyes darkened immediately, and a stern look appeared in his remnant eyes.But when he shot, he was very light, and he slapped floating dirt, and gently swept past Wang Luan, and Wang Luan immediately felt the coldness and fled away.

"Didn't you have a lot of courage just now? How could you run away?" Qi Chensheng snorted coldly, but he was not distracted by the yin energy, instead he turned his hand to hold the gentleman's staff in his hand, and accompanied by the goshawk's long howl , and swung towards the corner of the stone pile.

In Wang Luan's ears, the cry of a weak baby suddenly became shrill, and even made his ears hurt, but soon he saw the continuous starbursts, covering up and trapping a mass of black air in it.

The cloud of black air still wanted to struggle and escape, but as the radiance of the star became brighter, it finally had nowhere to hide and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

And where the black air was originally filled, a white porcelain bottle gradually appeared, only half the size of a palm, from a glance, it looked warm and lovely on the surface, but I didn't know what was inside.

Qi Chensheng retracted the gentleman's stick slightly, took Wang Luan and walked forward a few steps, fiddled with the porcelain bottle with the stick, seeing that it didn't respond anymore, he leaned over to pick it up.

Wang Luan held it in his hand curiously, and weighed it a few times, but it seemed that something was stuffed inside the porcelain bottle, and no sound came out.

"Guess Ninth Brother, what's in here?" Qi Chensheng held Wang Luan's hand, took the porcelain bottle again, and their eyes slightly met.

Wang Luan recalled the cry of the baby just now, and suddenly his face was not very good, and his eyes on the porcelain bottle also changed: "It's not a good thing after all."

Qi Chensheng didn't want Wang Luan to think about it anymore, so he put away the porcelain vase, let's go back and see what's in it later.

After finishing the matter here, in the main courtyard separated by a wall, the crying of the baby gradually became quieter. Ordinary people probably think that the baby is tired from crying, but——

Wang Luan focused his eyes and thought carefully, does this child really have nothing to do with the cry that came from the porcelain vase just now?

The two waited in place for a while, Ying Tao figured out that it was almost time, and came out from the main courtyard.When she saw Qi Chensheng and Wang Luan standing side by side by the rockery, she seemed relieved and hurried over.

"How, is that child sick?" Although Qi Chensheng said that he was not interested in the child himself, the incident just now had a solid foundation in his heart. Now that Yingtao has made this trip, let's ask him about it.

"That's right," Yingtao calmed down, and replied appropriately: "Beside Da Furen, Hua Yao, who is serving Young Master Ninth, said that Young Master Ninth was born in a fairly healthy body."

"It's just that for some reason, I have been sick intermittently since the full moon. Yesterday at noon, it seemed that I was blown by the hot wind again. I vomited out all the milk and medicine I was feeding, and I was crying."

"Second young master, go and have a look?"

After Wang Luan heard this, he also looked at Qi Chensheng, but Qi Chensheng shook his head: "No need, let's go to Aunt Yu first."

So, although they were distracted for a while, the three of them finally came to another courtyard before the sun was too hot.

This place is indeed much remoter than the place where Aunt Ji lived. Wang Luan turned around and looked up, and he could still see two or three running thin wires erected on the yard next to him, but there was nothing on the roof of the yard.

It seems that it is really like what the little girl said, after the aunt had a miscarriage, she completely lost Qi Longxun's favor and could only be trapped in this deep house, and her life should not be too easy.

Sure enough, before they could wait to enter, they heard the sound of arguing inside.

"You shameless little bastard, your eyes are slanted to the top of your head, and you cut off three inches of cloth for my old lady. Are you greedy to make a shroud for yourself!"

"Oh, you've been an aunt, and you're just haggling with us just because of this idea, who is shameless?"

"Bah! What I'm talking about is that you are shameless and give back the one who corrupted my mother!"

"This..." Wang Luan was really surprised. Hearing the movement in the courtyard, he couldn't believe that one of them was the Aunt Yu they were looking for.

"Go in and have a look." Unlike Wang Luan, Qi Chensheng has long been used to seeing the absurd farce in the east courtyard all these years since he was a child. go.

The dispute didn't mean to stop for a while. The two women standing on the porch looked not too old. One of them had loose hair, pinched a piece of half-new linen in his hand, and scolded people angrily.

The other one looked younger, and leaned against the pillar of the porch in an insignificant manner, gnawing at his half-red nails with a full face.

In addition to them, there were four or five people crammed into the small courtyard, all of whom were somewhat pretty, but most of them were dressed in dull clothes, with haggard and unkempt appearances.

"That one is Aunt Yu." Ying Tao walked to Qi Chensheng's side and reminded her in a low voice.

Qi Chensheng didn't say a word, but just nodded, and his eyes naturally fell on the girl in that cloth.At this time, the people in the courtyard also noticed their arrival one after another, and discussed in low voices, but they didn't know what they said.

"Where did this distinguished guest come from? Why did he come to our broken yard?" Aunt Yu didn't look carefully at the person who came here at first, she just said in a very unfriendly tone, but when she saw Qi Chensheng's face clearly Afterwards, most of the arrogance in his body was dissipated immediately, and he muttered in surprise and suspicion: "Second, Second Young Master?"

Qi Chensheng looked at her indifferently, and vaguely remembered that three years ago, when Aunt Yu was being favored by Qi Longxun's side, he also called several times to greet her, but almost never spoke.

When the others heard that Aunt Yu called Qi Chensheng "Second Young Master", they all looked sideways. Most of them were brought back by Qi Longxun from various places, but they were forgotten in this small courtyard after a while, and some of them didn't even have their titles. No, it's just that they were raised barely enough to keep them from starving or freezing.

"Aunt Yu?" Qi Chensheng held on to the gentleman's stick and walked in slowly. The people who had gathered at the side couldn't help but move away.

"Yes," Aunt Yu's eyes dodged a little, and she put down her hand pinching the fabric helplessly, "Second Young Master...why do you come to us when you have time..."

"Of course there is something to do." Qi Chensheng glanced at her, then looked around the surrounding rooms, and said in a cold voice: "Are you planning to talk here, or go in?"

Aunt Yu also realized something, she bit her chapped lips with her fairly white teeth, but Qi Chensheng didn't rush her, and after a long while, Aunt Yu finally said: "Second, since the second young master is here, of course I still want to invite you in for a drink." Sipping tea."

"Yeah." Qi Chensheng didn't say much, hugged Wang Luan's back, and followed Aunt Yu into one of the rooms.

As soon as he entered the house, Wang Luan was still habitually observing the decorations around. Maybe Qi Longxun was really "generous". A censer and jade carving.If it is taken out and sold, at least it will be enough for the poor to eat for three to five years.

But compared to Aunt Ji's residence, it is really far worse, the tables and chairs where guests sit are all painted, and the bed tents and cabinets are half old and not new.

"I don't have any good tea here, Second Young Master, you can just make do to quench your thirst." Aunt Yu seemed to be escaping from something, and hurriedly searched for the tea pot, but she couldn't hold it firmly when she found it out of the small cupboard, and she was about to break it. It turned over, and at this moment, fortunately, it was caught by another pair of thin and white hands.

"You don't have to worry, just take your time." Wang Luan gently put the tea pot on the table. Although he didn't smile, his eyes just looked into Aunt Yu's heart, letting her Gradually calm down.

The warm water flows into the teapot that has not been used for a long time, soaking the old tea, and there is almost no tea fragrance in the steam that comes out.

Aunt Yu has been silent since then. Although there is still fear in her eyes, she tries to hide it as much as possible.A strand of hair fell to the side of her face, covering her unaged face, but unfortunately no one appreciates it anymore.

She brought the cup in front of the two of them, and after a while, she took the initiative to speak: "Second Young Master...you can ask whatever you want."
