Yun Qiao didn't play with the train with the children.
After breakfast, she went out and went directly to Xi Lanting.
Xi Lanting originally planned to find her.
He went out this time and brought back a few books, which were foreign works on cardiology and I heard they were written by authoritative medical professors.
In Europe and America, this area also belongs to a new category, so this book is a best-seller, and Xi Lanting asked others to buy it. In addition to this book, there are also some medical journals.
Yun Qiao took it and kept it in his hand without turning it over. He just asked Xi Lanting: "Uncle Qi, the military governor sent Xi Wenjie away."
"Yeah." Xi Lanting lifted up his clothes and sat down.
The room was warm. He was wearing a milky white crane-patterned gown and trousers of the same color. He was warm and elegant, and had the dignity of a young man from an aristocratic family. He sat down and started playing with the chessboard.
The black and white chess pieces are clearly distinct between his long, white fingers.
Yun Qiao looked away from his hand and looked into his eyes: "Uncle Seventh's words carry so much weight in the Governor's Mansion."
Xi Lanting raised his eyes.
The color of his eyes turned a little light for a moment, like amber that had been brewing for thousands of years, light brown and pure, containing countless time.
"Want to ask this?"
"Well, I also want to hear the truth." Yun Qiao said.
Xi Lanting: "The truth doesn't sound good. Many people think they want to know the truth, but in the end they would rather not know."
Yun Qiao understood the implication.
In Uncle Qi's eyes, Yun Qiao is not qualified to ask the truth.
She hesitated and felt that she was being abrupt.
Xi Lanting knew all of Yun Qiao's secrets. He knew that Yun Qiao's grandmother was a witch doctor and had a weak bloodline inherited from ancient witches.
Ancient gods and shamans are good at incantations and have good medical skills. Secret incantations can cure diseases and heal people. They know astronomy, geography, human affairs, and know ghosts and gods.
But before the Great Chaos, the species of witches was wiped out, and most of those left behind were witches mixed with humans or monsters, with thin blood lines.
Magic witches are a type, not human or humanoid. Without the pure blood of witches, just by memorizing secret spells, the result will be like George Yun's disease, which will be backlashed and resurrected by oneself.
There are very few records about magic and witches in history, and most of them appear in myths. The few words about witchcraft in history books are very negative and scary. Witchcraft is called "forbidden magic" by humans.
However, it was slightly described in wild history and gradually lost.
Yun Qiao's grandmother likes traditional Chinese medicine very much, because traditional Chinese medicine has a special subject called "Zhu Youke", which is a residual record of witchcraft. However, the human race cannot cast spells, so they use "talismans" as carriers.
What the world calls "phraseology" today, such as fortune-telling, fortune-telling, and feng shui, are also among the remnants left behind by the witches, but there are no relevant records to confirm them.
Yun Qiao's grandmother said that she was self-taught after seeing some family secrets.
Grandma is best at spells, which are used to cure illnesses; at the same time, she also knows a little bit about physiognomy.
Yun Qiao had followed her since she was a child, and she only knew a little bit about it. She only learned half a bucket of water, but every time she was treated, she would almost die. Her grandmother always told her not to be anxious and to take her time, but she never believed in evil.
Xi Lanting knew it, and he could even tell the origin of the witch. He seemed to be more knowledgeable than grandma.
As for him, Yun Qiao didn't understand his extremely fast speed, his ability to control people's hearts, and his eyes.
"Don't sigh." Xi Lanting said to her, "Secrets are not beautiful. What is buried deep is often ugly. You don't need to understand me."
Yun Qiao: "But..."
"Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, I will take you to the South Temple to see the lanterns." Xi Lanting changed the subject, "Do you want to go?"
