Shi Jiu's health points were still 4 points short of reaching 200 points before, but now he has taken a big step back.
She didn't add any health points to him along the way, but because she magnanimously ignored his ridicule, she lost 1 health point. Now, he lost 13 health points for a painting.
very good.
If he had known that helping her paint this portrait would cost her health, he would never have wanted to help.
"Shi Jiu." Zhao Luoyang felt Shi Jiu's silence, and felt a surge of guilt in his heart.
It's quite a bit like feeling that the goods are not good in front of the seller and that the purchase is a loss.
"Although the flower has a little more health, your painting looks very similar."
【Health value 2】
【Health value 2】
Shi Jiu waited for a while, and his health points increased by 4 points in total.
4 health points equals a compliment that doesn't mean anything.
Shi Jiu said: "My help like this should not be allowed by the system, otherwise it will not reduce my health and I will still not be able to use it in the future."
It must not be used a second time. Don't think that once the hole is opened, the flood can be released casually. He cannot let Zhao Luoyang have such an idea.
Shi Jiu said: "Besides, I don't have much health left. If I come back two more times, it may disappear."
Zhao Luoyang nodded: "I know, but...it's a pity..." If you can always borrow Shi Jiu, many things will be easier, but from now on, will Shi Jiu really not take the initiative to help?
Zhao Luoyang dried the portrait and gave it to Ding Maosheng.
Mr. Song glanced at the portrait a few times, and when he looked at Zhao Luoyang again, there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Mr. Song said: "It would be great if you could have such skills when drawing maps."
"I'm not very good at painting," Zhao Luoyang said. "Maybe I was frightened, and I had a particularly deep impression of Zhao Jingyan. This time I started writing differently. I will definitely not be able to do it next time."
She couldn't use time and space every time she drew a portrait, she still had to put her words first.
Mr. Song raised his beard slightly. What the Zhao girl said was so reasonable and reasonable every time, but he always found it untrustworthy.
"Besides, sir, what's wrong with my map?" Zhao Luoyang said to Mr. Song, "Compared with my map, I didn't miss a single step."
Mr. Song suppressed his flying beard and said, "It's quite good. It's clearer than the marks left along the way."
Ding Maosheng took the portrait and returned it to his arms. He did not dare to delay and immediately walked out of the inn.
Everyone knows that these people go around selling things and buying food, so walking around with baskets on their backs won't attract anyone's attention.
Ding Maosheng seemed to be going to the city, but in fact he would turn back to another road when others were not paying attention, and then go to the forest to look for Ding Rong.
Ding Maosheng had only left for a while when Zhao Xuejing brought back the news: "Second brother and I found the man."
Sister Luo made it clear. She was wearing a blue-gray robe and fast boots, and she could be recognized just by his clothes. Zhao Xuejing didn't like this person. His surname was Zhao, and his name was similar, but the things he did were different.
It makes people feel disgusting.
If he had ignored everything, he and his second brother would have rushed up and beaten the person up.
Zhao Xuejing continued: "The man took the horse and prepared to go into the city. Mr. Zhang asked us to follow him."
"I'm going to the city too," Zhao Luoyang said. "I said before that I was going to the city to buy food. We just took this opportunity to go together, so we won't be spotted easily."
Mr. Song thought for a moment and said, "Let Jie Luo and the others go with them. You go keep an eye on people. Jie Luo and the others are buying food. It's better not to be discovered. If Jie Luo and the others are discovered, Jie Luo and the others can help you cover up."
Zhao Xuejing responded.
Zhao Luoyang immediately got up and made preparations. This time she would not go into the city alone. She would have to pull up the donkey cart and bring a few more people.
After all, they really need to buy some food.
…
Zhao Jingyan met many relocating people on his way into the city. He glanced at the donkey cart next to him and saw the little girl who sold him licorice.
"Uncle," the little girl waved to him, and then said to the person next to her, "Uncle is the kind person who bought our medicinal materials."
The women around the little girl smiled at him and thanked him.
The women sat on the donkey cart and were busy making shoe soles, the kind that little girls would sell.
Zhao Jingyan listened carefully to what those people were saying. It was nothing more than family feuding and all kinds of gossip on the way to the relocation. There was nothing suspicious about it.
The little girl said that she wanted to go to the city to buy food, which was consistent with what she said about selling medicinal materials in the morning. Even though Zhao Jingyan thought about it a lot, he felt that there was nothing suspicious about the little girl.
"Uncle."
When the donkey cart arrived, Zhao Jingyan and the little girl looked at each other. The little girl showed a smile and said, "Uncle, is this your first time going to the city?"
Zhao Jingyan shook his head: "No."
The little girl continued: "Then do you know where the excitement is in the city? Where is a better place to sell things? If it's not troublesome, can you help me give directions?"
Zhao Jingyan hesitated for a moment and agreed: "I am also going to the city to buy things. I can take you to the West Market with me."
He also happened to escape from the Western Market and went to see Mr. Zhou.
The little girl was very happy when she heard this and said good things about him to the people in the car. Even when he got off the horse after entering the city, the little girl came forward to help him and held his feet.
Zhao Jingyan likes this little girl more and more. If he can take her away, he won't feel bored if she is kept by his side for a year or two.
Zhao Jingyan was thinking this and didn't notice at all. Zhao Luoyang poked into his boots to confirm that her recorder was still there.
The recorder has been on since she installed it. When she gets it back, she will definitely discover many secrets about Zhao Jingyan.
If Zhao Luoyang's guess is correct, Zhao Jingyan will go to the city to do some important things this time, and the recorder cannot make mistakes at this time.
Shi Jiu said in Zhao Luoyang's mind: "Measure the distance traveled by Zhao Jingyan's horse's front hooves. The stride distance traveled by the horse Zhao Jingyan rides should be between two feet four and two feet eight."
"Your father and the others are staring at Zhao Jingyan, but they can't get too close. There may be omissions. After you get the recorder, you can tell from the sound of horse hooves inside how far he walked, what words he said, and what he said when he met.
If you find someone, combined with your father's and others' probing skills, you can find out everything clearly."
Zhao Luoyang responded, Shi Jiu always thought carefully, as if these things were very familiar to him.
The group of people arrived at the West Market together.
Zhao Xueli and Zhang Dianli, who were following far behind, looked at each other and did not expect to be so relaxed. Zhao Jingyan never left Luo Jie'er's donkey cart and walked into the city together, even sending Luo Jie'er off.
Go to West Market.
Things went well, but Zhao Xueli's anger became even more intense. Looking from a distance, he could see clearly that Zhao Jingyan really had evil intentions towards Sister Luo.
But now they are staring at Zhao Jingyan, and Sister Luo is accompanied by Brother Niu and the others, so there should be no problem.
Zhao Jingyan led the horse and quickly walked into the crowd, and Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing hurriedly followed.
…
Nothing special happened along the way. Zhao Jingyan walked around the alley twice before walking towards a courtyard in the city.
Passing by a brocade shop, Zhao Jingyan looked at the people waiting at the door. A woman dressed as a maid nodded to Zhao Jingyan.
"Second Master," the maid called, "My wife is waiting for you."
The maid knocked on the small door behind the brocade shop and walked in with Zhao Jingyan.
Close the door.
The servants quickly brought water for Zhao Jingyan to wash up. Zhao Jingyan washed his hands, asked the servants to leave, and walked straight to the inner courtyard.
After entering the door of the inner courtyard, a figure rushed forward impatiently.
"You're finally here. I've been so scared these past few days that I can't eat or sleep." Ms. Zhou looked haggard and reached out to slap Zhao Jingyan on the shoulder. "When will you receive news from your dead brother?"
