Chapter 124

The indoor lights are dim, the Yellow candles are shaking overhead, and the human shadow is on the ground.

"Hmm -" the boy on the bed was wrapped in thick cloth, like a huge mummy. His fingers moved, his pale lips opened and whispered gently, as if he was going to die the next second.

Lin Yi's head was a little. He woke up from his stupor and hurriedly lay down to see: "read mark?"

"Hmm -" read mark uttered a low, stuffy hum, opening his lips as if he were saying something.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Yi asked anxiously, "I can't hear clearly."

"He said water." Yi Xiaoqiao handed over a glass of water.

Lin Yi glances at Yi Xiaoqiao in surprise. He hasn't heard it just now. How did Yi Xiaoqiao hear it when he just entered the door?

He didn't have time to think about it. He took the cup, put it to his lips and poured water into his mouth.

Read mark Gudong Gudong drank several mouthfuls. Then he relaxed and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

After putting the water cup, Lin Yi collapsed. He looked up at Yi Xiaoqiao, who was also worried, and smiled: "thank you. How do you know what he said?"

"Guess."

In fact, she doesn't know what this read mark is talking about, but according to the usual routine of the novel, the first sentence when people wake up must be to drink water. Anyway, it's right to feed water.

Lin Yi is not in the mood to ask Yi Xiaoqiao. He nods and it's over.

"Why don't you take his pulse and see how he is?" When Yi Xiaoqiao said this, she actually had a drum in her heart, because she remembered that there was only a young man named Wenzhu around Lin Yi in the book, who was his entry disciple, and there was no disciple named nianmark.

When she named the Wenjia child, she was selfish. She hoped that he could be the Wenzhu. In this case, at least he was safe, but she didn't expect that Wenzhu was missing. The nanny was cut off her neck by a knife, and Nian scar was seriously injured. If there was no child named Nian scar around him, did it mean that Nian scar might

Yi Xiaoqiao's heart seems to be twisted by a knife.

Lin Yi also frowns. Nianscar's pulse is intermittent, which is obviously a sign that his life is not long. He is anxious, but he has done everything he can. At this time, he doesn't know what to do. He is nianscar's master. He watched nianscar grow up little by little. He is a famous miracle doctor. How many people ask him for help every year, but he is helpless in the face of his apprentice.

Yi Xiaoqiao looked at his face in pain and couldn't bother him any more. He turned and left the room.

When he came out of the house, people had gathered at the door. Someone was crying loudly, tearing his heart and lungs.

Yi Xiaoqiao walked out of the door of the bamboo house and saw a man crying outside the door with a child in his arms. Mu Yian stopped him and was comforting him in a low voice.

"My wife, you compensate my wife..." the man held the child and cried, almost sitting on the ground and rolling: "I was an orphan since childhood. I finally married a daughter-in-law and gave birth to a baby. The baby hasn't been two months, and the wife is gone. You pay back my wife..."

Yi Xiaoqiao suddenly realized that this man is the husband of the wet nurse.

The nanny husband's family name is Ruan. Everyone calls her sister-in-law Ruan.

The Ruan sister-in-law hasn't been pregnant for several years since she was married. Later, Lin Yi helped her diagnose and treat her and prescribed medicine before she became pregnant. Now it's only two months since she gave birth.

Lin Yi came back with Asparagus in his arms. He cried every day because he had no milk to eat. He was almost out of breath. Lin Yi wanted to find a safe person to be a nanny, so he found sister-in-law Ruan. Because sister-in-law Ruan's house is very close to the bamboo forest, she doesn't have to live here. She can come and feed regularly every day.

But I didn't expect

I was caught up today

The child in the man's arms seemed to know that she had no mother. She cried with her mouth open and could see her throat howling. Her arms also stretched out from the messy quilt and were purple with cold.

"Madam, what can we do when you leave? Do you know how much money I spent on marrying her? I married her with all my possessions and even lost the coffin..."

Mu Yi'an frowned, but there was nothing to do. He was used to seeing people who died, but what he usually saw was somewhat different from that at this time. On weekdays, he dealt with soldiers from the battlefield. First, the imperial court was compassionate, and second, they also knew that their children died for their country and generally didn't cry like this.

At this time, the nanny was affected for no reason, not to mention that he was still holding a two month old milk doll. Mu Yi'an's eyebrows were twisted into a pimple, but he couldn't say a word.

Yi Xiaoqiao walked over: "brother, don't cry first. We will certainly give you justice in this matter. Come first. The child will be frostbitten."

After all, the man took care of his children and carried them into the house: "I don't want justice. I want my wife. If you lose my wife, you have to compensate me. Do you know how much money I spent on marrying her? It's not easy for me to marry a daughter-in-law without father and mother, so it's gone..."

Yi Xiaoqiao was very upset when he cried: "this big brother..."

"Don't you just want a lady? I'll compensate you." Mu Yi'an suddenly uttered a voice, his voice cold and lukewarm.

Yi Xiaoqiao suddenly looked up at him and couldn't believe it. How can Mu Yian talk like this? What's the meaning of losing a woman? It's a person and a human life! What did he pay for it!

"Mu Yian..."

"Can you really compensate me for a lady?" The man stopped crying, grabbed Mu Yi'an's clothes and said anxiously, "this is what you said. You will compensate me. If you don't compensate me, I'll go to the Yamen to sue you. You don't care about human life!"

The man grabbed his clothes and stood up trembling. He didn't know whether he was frozen and had no strength or what was going on. The whole child in his arms was about to fall out. He didn't care. Instead, he chattered about "compensating the lady".

"Wow - Wow -" the child felt the danger and instinctively cried.

Yi Xiaoqiao hurried forward to catch the child, grabbed her from the man's arms and wrapped her up again.

She wrapped up the child, hummed and coaxed, looked back, but saw the man holding Mu Yi'an's collar and said anxiously, "you talk, didn't you just say to compensate a lady for me!"

Mu Yi'an brushed away his hand with a cold face and tidied up his clothes: "tell me straight, whose girl do you like?"

The man's chaotic eyes seemed to light up: "Xiaocui of Cuiyun building."

Cuiyun building is one of the three major brothels on Huajie street.

Mu Yi'an frowned more tightly. He never liked those beautiful streets, gentle villages and hero tombs. Good men would never go to such places.

"You help me redeem her, buy her a dowry and give me another 500 taels of silver. It's over now, otherwise..."

His eyes were rolling, and he could not see that he was devastated just now. Some were just calculations.

Yi Xiaoqiao took a step back with the child in his arms. His heart became colder and colder. How could this man do this? His wife's bones were not cold. He actually wanted to exchange his wife's bones for another woman to enter the door!

She doesn't know that in this time and space, women are men's accessories. They are not so much their wives as an object around them, but... But his wife's bones are not cold. He doesn't look for the murderer. Unexpectedly, he only wants to redeem Xiaocui or even marry another woman. Doesn't he take his wife seriously?

Mu Yi'an began to frown again. He glanced at him coldly: "OK, no problem. I can redeem her, give her a dowry and give you silver, but I have a request that you sell the girl to me."

The man was more and more happy. His eyes were bright like pearls: "do you like it? Don't sell it. As long as you help me redeem Xiaocui, I'll give it to you. It's up to you whether you're a boy or a cow or a horse in the future. Whether you live or die, I'll never regret it."

He was so happy that he made a solemn oath.

Yi Xiaoqiao's heart sank, like a knife twist. The man sold his daughter with such peace of mind. It's really rare in the world.

Mu Yi'an turned and studied the ink, raised his pen and asked, "what are your mother's and daughter's names?"

"My lady..." the man thought for a moment, but he didn't seem to remember: "you just write about sister-in-law Ruan. Don't you all call her that?"

Mu Yi'an shook his head helplessly: "where's his daughter?"

"Daughter..." the man turned his eyes and murmured, "what's the name of the pearl that the woman gave her... By the way, Cuizhu... No, asparagus!"

He uttered a disdainful sneer: "cut, this little loser still wants to bring my Xiaocui's name, and she deserves it."

Mu Yi'an waved his pen and directly wrote a deed of sale to him: "I'll give you 1000 Liang silver. You can redeem yourself and buy a dowry. From then on, your wife and daughter have nothing to do with you."

The man's eyes lit up immediately when he was given 1000 Liang. He hurriedly took the silver ticket, signed and ran away.

As for his two month old child, he didn't even bother to look at it.

Yi Xiaoqiao chased for two steps. In a trance, he felt that his legs were filled with lead and couldn't move.

"Madam." Mu Yi'an held her shoulder, saw her look different, and whispered relief: "you don't have to take this kind of person to heart. Go and have a rest."

Yi Xiaoqiao shook his head, took a deep breath and asked, "Mu Yian, what did he just say the child's name?"

"Asparagus, Ruan Wenzhu."

asparagus fern!

Ruan Wenzhu!

Yi Xiaoqiao was confused in her head and black in front of her eyes. She almost fell to the ground. She was really an asparagus in the book.

Mu Yian held her: "madam?"

"Mu Yian, I was wrong. I was really wrong."

"Read mark, read mark..."

In the room, Lin Yi's frightened voice came. Yi Xiaoqiao stuffed the child to Mu Yi'an and rushed into the inner room.
