That heavy rain seemed to come just for the late leaves and flowers. It rained for half a day and then the dark clouds disappeared and the sky cleared completely. There was no shadow of haze at all.
When Di Tianhong hurried over, Yi Chenjing was stepping on the ladder to collect rainwater from the grass and leaves on the eaves. Fu Chu was carefully holding the wooden ladder steady below. The young man's face was full of joy; except for the two of them, there were two people standing outside in the courtyard.
There was also Feng Wujiang, who ignored Ogi Tianhong when he entered the hospital, and silently checked his half-truck of goods in the corner.
"Why don't you see Miss Bai?" Di Tianhong enthusiastically helped Fu Chu hold the ladder together. Seeing that the young couple who always stuck together now only had one person left, he couldn't help but feel curious.
"Sister Bai is taking care of the leaves in the room." Fu Chu Heshan replied, "The sun is so harsh, we have to collect enough rainwater on the grass blades before they are dried. Fortunately, Brother Chen is here to help, otherwise I would have to do it myself.
The clumsy one doesn’t know how long he will be busy. By the way, Mr. Ogizhu, since it has already rained, there is no need to wait for the butler to come back from fetching water. We will prepare to leave when the condition of the leaves is better. It’s just that the butler’s trip was in vain.
I feel a little sorry."
Di Tianhong waved his hand quickly: "Brother Fu, why are you so polite? If the Poison Doctor hadn't come to the rescue back then, where would the Dihua Village come from now? Let alone let him run away in vain, as long as the Poison Doctor or Brother Fu, the owner of the Ye Manor
Open your mouth, there are dozens of people in this Dihua Village who will never frown even if they go up to the mountain of swords and the sea of fire!"
A graceful figure flashed past his eyes, Fu Chu's eyes were dazzled, and with a light touch of the wooden ladder in his hand, Yi Chenjing had already jumped down from the ladder. The cork on the cap of the porcelain bottle with a narrow neck and a big belly was placed safely on the stone table in the courtyard.
"It's admirable that Master Di is so kind and righteous. If I can return to the palace smoothly one day, I must find an opportunity to thank Master Di." After patting off the dust on his clothes, Yi Chenjing pursed her thin lips.
With a slight arc, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Feng Wujiang in the corner, "After all, the few of us have special status and some people are secretly watching us. If we stay here for a long time, I'm afraid it will attract bad people to implicate the owner of the village. It's better to leave as soon as possible while it's convenient."
"
Hearing Yi Chenjing say that he wanted to leave, Di Tianhong seemed to sigh with regret: "I understand that Brother Chen has something important to do, and it is inconvenient for Di to stay - in fact, this is exactly why I came here.
Brother Fu is a direct disciple of the Poison Doctor. With the medicine, it is easy to cure Master Ye. I also know that you will not stay long after Master Ye recovers, so as soon as the rain stops, I ordered people to prepare dry food for carriages and horses to be ready at any time.
Yes. However, I’m not in a hurry to leave.” He smiled and pointed at the empty wine jars stacked against the wall. Di Tianhong looked at Yi Chenjing: “I saw Miss Bai seem to like wine very much in the past two days, but it’s just that it’s getting in the way.
You can't contaminate the injury. Why don't you wait for Master Ye to have a farewell drink? I'm not bragging, our Dihua Manor's wine is no less good than the imperial wine. Brother Chen will know after tasting it."
"You can drink wine at any time, but you can't wait for time. Mr. Di is kind enough to accept it, but we will have a chance to have a drink together again in the future." Yi Chenjing refused calmly.
Who knows how many demons and devils are hiding in the dark just waiting for them to be careless and risk their lives just for a drink. It's not worth it.
Besides, he didn't want to drink - if he was outshone by his wife at the wine table, how could he have the dignity to call himself a man? It was enough to lose face at home, there was no need to go out and destroy his image.
Di Tianhong was unwilling to let go of this rare opportunity, but Yi Chenjing refused flatly, leaving no escape route. He had no choice but to cast his eyes on Fu Chu for help, hoping that the thin-skinned young man could help. Fu Chu was in a dilemma.
Suddenly, the sound of the door and footsteps came from behind. Looking back, Bai Qige and Ning Xizui walked out of Ye Hua's evening room one after another.
Bai Qige waved her hands to signal the others not to speak too loudly. She walked to the table and stood next to Yi Chenjing: "Zhuang Master Ye has just fallen asleep. Don't wake her up. Have you collected enough rainwater? If so, I will boil the medicine later."
.”
Before Yi Chenjing could answer, Di Tianhong took the lead and clasped his fists at Bai Qige with a grimace: "Miss Bai, you're here just in time. I have to ask Miss Bai for help if I have something!"
"Me? How can I help?" Bai Qige looked confused.
"Master Di saw that you were greedy and liked drinking, so he planned to wait until Master Ye got better to fulfill your wish and give you ten altars so that you can drink enough before leaving." Yi Chenjing replied sarcastically.
Bai Qige was quite embarrassed, so she had no choice but to cover it up with a stiff smile. She reached out to Yi Chenjing's ribs with her hand from behind and twisted it hard.
One smiled weirdly, the other gasped and had a distorted expression. Who couldn't see the little movements behind him? Fu Chu lowered his head and coughed lightly. Yi Chenjing then rubbed the pinched area and regained her composure, but her arms circled very naturally.
On Bai Qige's waist, she looked at Ning Xi and smiled lightly.
According to Bai Qige, that smile should be said to deserve a beating.
Taking a deep breath and ignoring the warm palms on her waist, Bai Qige unexpectedly agreed to Di Tianhong's invitation: "The owner of Di Tianhong is enthusiastic and loyal. If we shirk it any more, we will be hypocritical. Anyway, a meal of wine and food won't take long, so just treat it as a treat."
Stop drinking."
"Miss Bai is still happy!" Otitian was overjoyed, "Then it's settled. I'll prepare the carriage and horses as usual, and the best wine in the village will be indispensable. I'll just serve it to the table as soon as Mr. Ye recovers from his illness!"
"Okay..." Before Bai Qige could say anything, someone else excitedly touched her hands.
Who could it be? Ning Xi, a businessman who also likes wine, is drunk.
Perhaps because of the unusual color of his eyes and hair, Ogi Tianhong was not very warm to this strange businessman. Seeing that he was in high spirits and full of expectations, he just nodded and responded in a perfunctory manner. His lukewarm smile seemed to be there.
Such disdain. Everyone's reaction was seen in Feng Wujiang's eyes. They sneered silently, raised their hands and a black shadow flew straight towards Ning Xizui.
Ning Xizui saw something flying towards her, and said "Yeah" without moving. She didn't know whether it was because she was frightened or because her body couldn't keep up with her head's reaction. Fortunately, Bai Qige's quick eyesight and quick hands caught the thing halfway, and she opened her palms.
It's a dirty rag.
"Father, are you a child? It's disgusting to throw away such dirty things." Ning Xizui opened the rag with her fingertips in disgust, and smiled apologetically at Bai Qige, "I'm sorry, Miss Bai.
My adoptive father is in a bad mood today, probably because no one invited him to a drink."
"Is it okay to throw things around when you're in a bad mood? Then if I throw a sword in there when I'm in a bad mood, can I just apologize and it'll be fine?" Before Bai Qige could respond, Yi Chenjing had already lowered her face and her eyes were cold.
Yi Chenjing couldn't stand Ning Xizui but never had any conflict, because Ning Xizui would always give in or turn his sharpness into weakness; but Feng Wujiang was different, he had no intention of evading Yi Chenjing's provocation.
Not to mention that he would not grovel because he knew his identity as a prince, even if the incident originally happened because of him.
Putting down the goods in his hands, Feng Wujiang walked to Ning Xizui, with his hands behind his back and an expressionless expression: "Don't you want to do business? Follow me down the mountain immediately, I'm not in the mood to watch people's faces here."
Bai Qige took a deep breath: "Don't blame me, Senior Feng, Chen Jing has no ill intentions——"
"I'm not talking to you, shut your mouth." Feng Wujiang interrupted Bai Qige mercilessly, obviously disgusted with her.
In the past, the relationship between the two of them was not harmonious, but at least they could coexist peacefully. Today, for some reason, Feng Wujiang had no intention of being patient at all. His appearance of not being afraid of trouble made Ning Xizui have to put away his laziness and become more serious.
"Father, let's talk after we go in..." With a smile on his face, Ning Xizui pressed Feng Wujiang's shoulders and winked at Bai Qizui. Bai Qige understood and pushed Ning Xizui, who was also full of anger, in the opposite direction.
Ning Xizui's behavior made Feng Wujiang even more angry. He raised his arms to throw away the two hands on his shoulders. Unexpectedly, when he raised his arms, he accidentally hit the porcelain bottle on the table. The overturned porcelain bottle rolled towards the table.
, about to fall to the ground.
That is the life-saving water that we have been waiting for and obtained with great difficulty!
Almost at the same time, Bai Qige, Fu Chu and Yi Chenjing subconsciously rushed to the table. Next to them, Di Tianhong was stunned, watching the thin porcelain bottle fall to the ground against several people's fingertips. After a crisp sound, clear rain quickly fell.
Seeped into the soil and covered the ground with debris.
It is not easy to collect that water. Drop by drop, I don’t know how much it takes to accumulate this small bottle, but it is destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Bai Qige stared blankly at the broken porcelain bottles on the ground. She even forgot to take back her outstretched hand. After a long time, she was unable to lower her hand. Fu Chu looked blank, as if he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, until Ning Xizui's hand fell lightly.
It only reacts above the shoulder.
After a moment of silence, the dead silence was broken by a roar.
"Are you satisfied? Is it enough? Are you happy if Ye Zi dies?!"
Once the most peaceful person bursts into anger, his power is astonishing. Take Fu Chu, for example. Who would have thought that this gentle young man who always speaks in a soft voice can also roar so loudly?
Feng Wujiang was the one who started the incident, and he was the one who broke the bottle. If he was wrong, it would be his fault. Ning Xizui didn't expect that things would get to such a bad point. Looking at Feng Wujiang's cold expression without any apology, he had to bear the responsibility.
I was quite cautious and ashamed, so I had to apologize on my behalf: "My adoptive father did not do it on purpose, it was just an accident. That's good. I'll collect some more before the rain dries, and it should be too late."
"Yes, you can argue anytime you want. What matters now is collecting rainwater again."
Bai Qige helped while protecting Ning Xizui behind her without leaving a trace. However, the slightest movement could not escape Yi Chen Jing's bright eyes. She sneered and her eyes became colder.
"Did you and your son really not do this on purpose, Ning Xizui?" In front of Di Tianhong, Yi Chenjing called Ning Xizui by his first name, with a suspicious tone, "I'm afraid that others may think it's unintentional, but in fact Mr. Feng
Senior has already tried every means to break this bottle?"
Facing Yi Chenjing's accusation, Feng Wujiang turned his head and looked away, noncommittal.
Di Tianhong didn't expect such a situation to occur at all. He didn't know who to speak for for a while. When he looked at Bai Qige, who had always been partial to Ning Xizui, he suddenly found that there was a hint of suspicion in those eyes that were always full of trust. It was a pity.
Looking at the water stains on the ground, Di Tianhong shook his head and sighed: "Why are you guys bothering? We are all our own people. If you have something to say, sit down and talk slowly. Don't cause misunderstandings over trivial matters and ruin the harmony."
"I hope it's a misunderstanding." Yi Chenjing roughly pulled Bai Qige back behind him, pestering his silent wife with a violent aura, "Raise your head. Why, you don't have the courage to face reality? Well, I'll do it for you.
Say it!" Turning to Ning Xizui and Feng Wujiang again, the eyes on Qingjun's face were as sharp as a knife: "Ever since you appeared at Yiye Villa, I have doubted who you are and why you are always surrounding me and me like a ghost.
By Qi Ge’s side? If it weren’t for the sudden illness of Master Ye, I’m afraid I would still be wavering in Qi Ge’s trust in you. But now I can finally confirm that my guess is correct - you two father and son who don’t know whether it’s true or false.
