Not only Lin Jue was amazed, Ruan Ping and Gao Muqing were also stunned by the pattern in front of them. When the three of them clicked their tongues in surprise and exclaimed in admiration, a figure came quickly from the shadow of the mountain rocks. It was Qi Ba
A heavily armed bandit.
"Who?" someone shouted.
"Brother Ma? It's us. We are here to see the leader of the village. The person who will treat Madam is already here." Dong Kui cupped his hands and said.
"It turns out it's the leader of the second village and the third village. Please come with me. The leader of the big village is waiting for you." The short bandit who led the group held up his hands and said with a smile.
"We have Brother Laoma." Dong Kui said with a smile.
The man waved his hand and turned around, and everyone followed him along a corridor. After a while, behind a row of flower trees, bright light came from the long window of a house. Two maids stood at the door.
He is standing with his hands down.
"The big village master, the second village master and the third village master are here." The guard surnamed Ma stood at the door and shouted loudly in front of the thick curtain.
"Come in." An old voice came through the curtain. Hearing this voice, Gao Muqing's body trembled slightly. Lin Jue looked at Gao Muqing, Gao Muqing nodded lightly, and Lin Jue also nodded lightly. He knew that these words
The person was Zuo Zongdao, and Gao Muqing knew his voice. Lin Jue's heart beat a little faster. Originally, he didn't know this Zuo Zongdao at all, and had no special feelings for him. But after this period of time, he heard about his fortune.
The journey and the secretive experience of seeing the dragon in the village but not its tail made Lin Jue look forward to this Zuo Zongdao. He couldn't wait to see what kind of person this guy was.
The curtain was opened, and light came from inside. Several people walked into the room slowly. The room was filled with the smell of traditional Chinese medicine. A square table was placed at the side. Two people were standing there. It was that person.
The two doctors. The two doctors silently bowed to everyone.
Lin Jue's eyes wandered around the room. What was completely different from what he imagined was that the furnishings in this room were not luxurious, but just some normal furnishings, which were not as good as Lin Jue's residence in Hangzhou.
A table, a few wooden chairs, and a wooden table for incense burners are placed in the corner. A few calligraphy and paintings are hung on the wall. Other than that, there is nothing special about it. At the vertical door on the side, a bead curtain sways slightly, emitting
With its faint brilliance, it was the only bright spot in the room.
Except for the two doctors and a maid holding a copper basin standing at the hanging door, Zuo Zongdao was not seen in the room. However, it is conceivable that the inner room is inside the bead curtain of the hanging door.
Zongdao must be in the inner chamber.
"Master of Dazhai, my brother has brought someone to you." Dong Kui said, cupping his hands behind the beaded curtain of the hanging door.
"Okay! Thank you for your hard work, second and third. You are very good. I am still thinking of my wife. Very good." There was a hint of coldness in Zuo Zongdao's old voice.
"Serving the village master and his wife is what we should do." Dong Kui and Qian Bao said in unison.
"Okay, very good." Zuo Zong said.
"Are the people from Beishan Dazhai here?" Zuo Zongdao's voice sounded.
Dong Kui hurriedly turned around and signaled to the three of them. Ruan Ping, Lin Jue, Gao Muqing stepped forward and saluted the swaying bead curtain.
"I have met the leader of Zuo Dazhai. I am Ruan Ping. I came to Guizhai to make an alliance on the order of the leader of our Dazhai. These two are Brother Fang and Brother Gao, who are my deputies."
"I have met the leader of Zuo Dazhai." Lin Jue and Gao Muqing bowed their heads and saluted towards the bead curtain.
There was no sound inside the curtain, but the three of them seemed to feel a sharp gaze peering at them, and felt uncomfortable all over. Lin Jue felt that this scene was very ridiculous. Zuo Zongdao was so staged that he couldn't help it.
Reluctant to see anyone, Zuo Zongdao asked the three of them to salute in front of a curtain, as if they were talking to the air. What did Zuo Zongdao think of himself? Did he really think that he was the most powerful emperor? He couldn't be seen easily.
? Apart from being ridiculous, Lin Jue was also a little worried. Although Gao Muqing was disguised, it would be troublesome if Zuo Zongdao recognized him.
After an awkward silence, Zuo Zongdao seemed to have had enough of seeing the three of them from beginning to end, and his voice rang out again.
"Thank you for your hard work, three brothers. Thank you for your hard work, Master Ruan. I can't see you in person because of my wife's illness, so I hope you can forgive me. Did you, Master Bao, say you are also ill?"
"Exactly, my Dazhai leader is sick, otherwise he would have come in person this time. The Dazhai master has a personal letter and asked me to bring it to Zuo Dazhai master." Ruan Ping cupped his hands and said.
"Okay, just put it on the case. Go back and ask your village master how he is and tell him to take care of himself."
Ruan Ping rolled his eyes and promised, but thought in his heart: Even after arriving in this room, he still refused to accept the letter with his own hands. This old dog is really hypocritical. One of his original plans was to use the opportunity of handing over the letter to get close to him, and then
Assassinate him. Now it seems that this plan has completely failed. There is no chance of getting close to him.
"Which one is Brother Fang?" Zuo Zongdao's voice sounded.
Lin Jue hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I met the leader of Zuo Dazhai in the forest below."
"Oh, it's you. Thank you very much. The prescription you just made does have some effect. Madam is much better after taking the medicine."
"If I can do my part for Madam's illness, I will do my best next time." Lin Jue said.
"Haha, okay. Where are you from, and where did you learn this medical skill? How did you end up in the Funiu Mountains with such skill?" Zuo Zongdao suddenly asked several questions in succession.
Lin Jue frowned and remained silent. Ruan Ping anxiously motioned for Lin Jue to answer, but Lin Jue turned a deaf ear.
"What? Brother Fang doesn't want to answer my question?" Zuo Zongdao's cold voice sounded again.
Lin Jue didn't want to answer, but he didn't expect Zuo Zongdao to ask these questions like he was checking his household registration. He wanted to make something up, but suddenly realized that this was Zuo Zongdao's temptation. He could make up lies to deal with it, but it would inevitably happen.
There is a flaw. Zuo Zongdao may be looking for this kind of flaw, but fabricating lies on his own will not pass the test. Instead of this, the simplest and most effective way is to refuse to answer directly.
"It's not that I don't want to, it's that the past is so unbearable that I don't want to mention it again. Now I'm just a person from Funiu Mountain, and everything I've done in the past has long been forgotten. I beg the leader of the village not to ask me about what happened before." Lin
Jue said in a deep voice.
Dong Kui and Qian Bao were shocked that Lin Jue was so direct. He sweated for Lin Jue. No one dared to talk to Zuo Dazhai leader like this. This was like refusing to contradict him directly.
There was no sound inside the curtain. Everyone thought that Lin Jue's answer made Zuo Zongdao dissatisfied. Everyone was worried. But laughter suddenly burst out from the curtain.
"Hahaha, that's good. Everyone who comes to my Funiu Mountain has a bad past. Once you enter the green forest and fall grass, it's like a monk, all past events are over, and all previous relationships are over. Why bother to remember those things?
"Brother Fang is right, I shouldn't ask, hahaha." Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Zuo Zongdao not only didn't get angry, but also sighed with emotion.
Lin Jue cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry."
Zuo Zongdao snorted and said, "Brother Fang, are you sure you can cure my wife's illness? I heard them say that you seem to have some attainments in medicine."
Lin Jue said: "I don't dare. Doctors only treat living people, not those who will die. I have not personally diagnosed your wife's condition, so I dare not say that it can be cured. Please forgive me, Master of the village."
Zuo Zongdao coughed and said: "That's right, then you can come in and diagnose my wife's illness yourself. If you can cure my wife's illness, I will express my gratitude."
Lin Jue suppressed the excitement in his heart and said in a deep voice: "I will do my best and don't dare to slack off."
There was a soft sound of footsteps inside the curtain, and the figures of two maids appeared inside the bead curtain. Two hands each gently lifted the bead curtain, revealing the overlapping white curtains inside.
"Brother Fang, please come in."
Lin Jue sighed and walked towards Chuimen. Ruan Ping and Gao Muqing subconsciously followed him, but were stopped by Dong Biao and Qian Bao.
"You two are just waiting here. It's an inner room and it's inconvenient for you two to enter. Brother Fang went to see his wife for medical treatment. Why did you two go in?" Dong Biao said.
Ruan Ping frowned and stopped, and Gao Muqing also looked at Lin Jue's back with worry, watching him walk behind the curtain door. The bead curtain fell, and the beads struck with a crisp "crackling" sound, and Lin Jue's figure became invisible behind the curtain. Blurred until it disappears.
Behind the bead curtain, Lin Jue stood among the heavy curtains, looking confused. The moment he came in, he did not see Zuo Zongdao's figure, only the end of the thick curtains in front of him, which was windless and automatic.
Two maids led the way. They lifted up the curtains one after another and guided Lin Jue into each curtain. Every time he entered a curtain, the curtains behind them fell silently. The heavy curtains were like There are pass after pass, and everything in front of you is like a maze of mystery. When the curtain is rolled up, some timid eyes are peeking behind the curtain, accompanied by some audible footsteps. Occasionally, you can I saw the backs of several women disappearing in a flash.
Lin Jue was very speechless. Zuo Zongdao God kept mumbling about what was going on. This should be his inner bedroom, but it was made so complicated and deep that people didn't know why. Could it be that these curtains were to hide the guards? Could it be that Zuo Zongdao's sense of security has been so lost?
After passing seven or eight curtains, they walked forward no less than thirty steps. This distance showed how spacious the inner room was. Lin Jue also suddenly understood. It turned out that the room in front was in the open space of the courtyard, and The second half of the inner chamber was dug deeply into the rock wall. Otherwise, it would not have such a long length and such a large space.
Finally, after the last curtain was lifted, Lin Jue saw tables, chairs, incense burners hanging from the gums, a long table with a Yaoqin on it, seven or eight maids standing in a row, and a tall and burly man sitting on the side of his gums. Body shape. The man was dressed in white clothes, with gray beard and hair. He had a dignified appearance and his eyes were staring at him. Lin Jue knew that this man was Zuo Zongdao. However, the image of Zuo Zongdao was completely different from what he imagined. Unexpectedly, Zuo Zongdao Zuo Zongdao is an old man with a dignified appearance, not the skinny and capable image of someone who thinks too much and is extremely shrewd in his own mind. When you first look at Zuo Zongdao, you will think that he is a highly respected master in some academy, and there is nothing illegal about him. Qi, it seems like there is some weird fairy energy.
