Riding the Pheonix Chapter 616: Nie Fate

The old lady chanted the Buddha's name and said, "It's good to save her. What's going on at the dock?"

Butler Ji replied: "I asked the young man who fell into the water and he said that several boats caught fire for some reason. Now the fire has been reduced, so he should be fine."

The old lady nodded and asked again: "Who did you rescue? Has he settled down?"

"They are a pair of cousins, they are about eighteen or nineteen years old. They say they are in the world of martial arts. The younger one looks at them and thinks this is hard to believe."

"What?"

Butler Ji smiled and said: "You're so good-looking, with tender skin and tender flesh. He doesn't look like he's been running around in the world. That young man doesn't speak very well. He must be wary, so he said that."

The old lady also laughed: "It's normal to be wary when visiting other people's homes in the middle of the night. Forget it, let's keep them here for one night and ask them where they are going at dawn."

Butler Ji agreed, bowed his head and excused himself: "There are still two hours before dawn. Madam, please take a rest. You will be home tomorrow."

The old lady sighed: "How dare you fall asleep? As soon as you fall asleep, you dream... Oh! I believe that I have done good deeds in my life and have never done evil things. How I got into this matter is really puzzling. ”

Butler Ji comforted: "When we get home, with our ancestors watching over us, the old lady will definitely be able to recover without medicine. What's more, the second young master has specially found an expert for you, and he will be here in a while."

……

On the other side, Ji Xiaowu, who finally took a shower in so many days, felt so comfortable that every pore exuded a pleasant breath.

He put on the clothes brought by the maid and met Mingwei, who had also washed himself.

"Do we really want to stay here for one night?"

Mingwei replied: "It's only two hours until dawn. If we have to leave, others will be suspicious."

“However, in our current situation, we always feel uneasy living in other people’s homes.”

Mingwei comforted him: "Don't be afraid, cousin, it only lasts two hours. We will leave at dawn."

Ji Xiaowu thought that what she said was right, but the words sounded awkward to him.

"I'm not afraid, it's just caution!"

"Yes, yes, yes," Mingwei suppressed a smile, "Go to bed quickly. We have lost all our internal strength now, so we must maintain our strength."

"Yes." Ji Xiaowu asked again, "Then can we recover?"

Mingwei explained patiently: "We were too seriously injured before, so we only relied on our internal strength to repair our heart vessels, which could not open the key points. When we are out of danger, we can go to the drugstore to grab some medicine, take it for a while, and it will be cured. ”

Ji Xiaowu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then you go and have a rest. Anyway, the little white snake is awake, let it keep watch."

"Got it."

The cousins ​​went back to their guest rooms to rest.

Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.

After they finished washing up and having breakfast, Butler Ji came.

"Steward Ji," Ji Xiaowu bowed in greeting, "I just wanted to say goodbye to you."

"You two are leaving now?" Butler Ji asked with a smile.

Ji Xiaowu replied: "Your master is also passing through here, how can we stay longer? It's just that we don't have much to repay now. This kindness will have to wait for the future."

Butler Ji waved his hand and said: "Young Master, you don't have to be polite. My old lady has been worshiping Buddha for many years and is the most kind-hearted. When she saw the fire at the pier, she asked us to go and have a look. It is really lucky to be able to save the two of us, so don't worry about it."

"The old lady is really a bodhisattva," Ji Xiaowu hesitated and asked, "We would like to thank the old lady in person, is it inconvenient?"

Just as Butler Ji was about to speak, a servant came over and shouted: "Butler Ji, Miss Xiuyi is here, and the old lady asked you to entertain her!"

Butler Ji agreed and said to Ji Xiaowu: "Master, wait a moment, I have to deal with some things. I just want to ask the old lady."

When Ji Xiaowu heard about Miss Xiuyi, his face froze. At this time, he forced a smile and cupped his hands: "You're welcome."

As soon as Butler Ji left, Ji Xiaowu grabbed Mingwei and said anxiously: "Is he talking about Wen Xiuyi? Why is she here too? It sounds like she is quite familiar with their family! What should we do now?"

Mingwei thought for a while and said, "Wait a moment."

Ji Xiaowu saw her leaving the house and talking to the maid who was cleaning outside: "Auntie, I am lucky enough to receive help from your family. I just forgot to ask about where I came from, but I don't know your master's surname?"

The servant girl replied: "My master is a squire here, but the one who rescued the girl is a distinguished guest staying here. Speaking of his family, you must know that it is the Yidu Tang family."

Mingwei thanked her and went back to the house.

Ji Xiaowu was surprised: "Yidu Tang's family? Wen Xiuyi is actually related to his family?"

Ming Wei had long guessed that the senior brother she was talking about was the second son of the Tang family. She was not surprised at this time, but she was just worried about this bad relationship.

I finally escaped and was actually rescued by people from the Tang family.

"What should I do?" Ji Xiaowu asked her.

Ming Wei said: "If the martial arts is still there, we can escape now, but..."

Even if they escape now, it will be easy to find them once they are discovered.

"Don't worry, the worst result is that you escape in vain." Mingwei thought for a moment, "Let's stay calm first and go find out the news."

She left the house, walking around casually, walked out of the courtyard, and wandered around.

After searching for a while, I finally saw two maids standing in the corridor chatting.

Mingwei was about to go over and ask, but heard one of them say: "I heard that Miss Xiuyi is here. What a coincidence. The old lady stayed here for one night and we met her. ~IndoMTL. com~ Another tone was a bit disdainful: "Who knows if it's a coincidence, it's not just a day or two that she pleases the old lady. ”

The first one pulled her and lowered his voice: "You don't want your life! If Miss Xiuyi gets angry..."

The one said: "I'll just talk about it right now, what are you afraid of? Besides, isn't this the truth?"

"That's true, but..."

"Oh, sister, don't worry so much. Although Miss Xiuyi has a bad temper, I don't think she would dare to do anything to us. After all, she wants to be the Tang family's wife, right?"

The maid seemed to be convinced and followed the topic: "I'm afraid Miss Xiuyi won't be able to get her wish. The old lady wants a granddaughter-in-law who comes from a famous family. Although she has some status, she is from there after all... …”

Over there, you mean Xuanmen? No matter how powerful the Xuanmen master is, he will never be on the stage in the eyes of high-ranking officials.

"I don't think I like the second young master too much. Otherwise, why is there no movement even after he is over 20 years old? He is really not young at this age."

"Yes, if the second young master liked it, he would have said good things in front of the old lady. But look at the old lady, you don't even want to see her in person..."

Ming Wei's heart moved. So, the relationship between Wen Xiuyi and the Tang family is not that good?

Oh, it should be said that Mrs. Tang doesn’t like Wen Xiuyi very much? Then, the two parties may not necessarily communicate effectively...

Mingwei heard the maid say again: "Why don't you tell us about departure? I have packed everything."

Another said: "I just listened in the yard over there, and it seemed that the old lady had an old habit last night, and she woke up after just an hour of sleep, and couldn't sleep since then. Butler Ji ordered someone to give me the Make some medicinal tea and drink it before you go on your way."

Huh?
