The sound outside the screen gradually disappeared, and after a while, snoring sounded in the room.

Cui Hengyue was very depressed.

Isn’t it just about pulling out the needle? Isn’t it enough to just pull out the silver needle?

Thinking like this, Cui Hengyue raised his right hand and pulled out a needle at will.

"ah--"

A heart-piercing pain hit her, and Cui Hengyue couldn't help but let out a scream, and blood spurted out of her mouth.

"Jiulang, the little lady took out the needle by herself."

"Is this crazy girl looking for death?"

Zhen Jiu held Ku Xuan's hand, cursed and came to the bed, instructing Ku Xuan: "Put a needle into her Quchi point, quickly."

Kuxuan did not dare to delay, so he took out the silver needle as quickly as possible and inserted it into Cui Hengyue's Quchi point.

The pain subsided slightly, but Cui Hengyue was sweating profusely and felt like he was exhausted. Everything in front of him gradually became blurred, and the sounds around him seemed to be far away in the horizon, misty and illusory.

Gradually, her heavy eyelids drooped.

"Kuroro, she fainted."

"Deserved it."

Kuxuan: "..."

After a moment of silence, Ku Xuan still couldn't hold back and spoke for Cui Hengyue: "If you hadn't scared the little lady, she wouldn't have taken the risk and pulled out the needle herself."

Zhen Jiu pulled a long face: "You mean it's my fault?"

"No, no, no, you are not wrong, it is the little lady who is wrong." Seeing that Zhen Jiu was about to get angry, Ku Xuan quickly expressed his stance.

That's pretty much it.

Zhen Jiu was very satisfied and ordered: "Two quarters of an hour later, you can help her remove the needle."

...

Two quarters of an hour later, Kuxuan helped Cui Hengyue pull out the needle, and Cui Hengyue fell asleep for another half an hour before waking up.

Seeing that there was no one in the house, Cui Hengyue carefully got out of bed and slowly walked outside.

"Where did Zhen Jiulang go?" Cui Hengyue asked when he saw Ku Xuan standing outside the door.

Kuxuan did not answer Cui Hengyue's question, but pointed to the medicine bag on the ground and said: "This is the medicine my master gave you. Don't come here again. My master doesn't want to see you."

"He couldn't see me in the first place." Cui Hengyue replied casually and went to get the medicine bag.

Kuxuan: "..."

A sharp-tongued little lady.

"I never owe anyone any favors. These things are considered my medical expenses and medicine money. From now on, you and I will owe nothing to each other."

Cui Hengyue took out an oil paper bag and left it, then left with the medicine bag.

It wasn't until Cui Hengyue's back disappeared from sight that Ku Xuan picked up the oil paper bag, opened it, took a look, and then entered the next room.

"Jiulang, the little lady left this thing, saying it was for your medical consultation and medicine money."

The aroma hit her nostrils. Zhen Jiu followed the aroma and turned her head: "What is it?"

"Snacks, dried meat."

Hearing this, Zhen Jiu showed a look of disdain: "I think back then, my father's consultation fee was at least a thousand dollars.

"This crazy girl gave me some food to pay for my consultation and medicine. She is really stingy."

Although Ku Xuan was angry with Cui Hengyue for despising his master, he still couldn't help but feel unfair for Cui Hengyue after hearing these words: "Jiulang didn't know something.

"I heard that the people who live in Dizang Pavilion have never eaten meat in the past fifteen years. If they want to eat meat, they must buy it with gold. Moreover, a piece of meat costs one or two gold.

"Fifteen years ago, Erniang Wang moved into the Ksitigarbha Pavilion with her infant daughter in her arms. This means that the young lady has not eaten meat for fifteen years. She can give you such a precious food as dried meat as a medical fee.

It’s already very generous.”

After saying that, Kuxuan picked up a pair of clean chopsticks and turned over the dried meat in the oil paper bag: "There are ten pieces of dried meat in it, which is ten taels of gold, which is much more expensive than your father's consultation fee."

Zhen Jiu made a sound with a very disdainful expression: "If it weren't for Yunxuan Temple, how would ten pieces of dried meat be worth ten taels of gold? Even if it was given to me for free, I wouldn't want it."

"Then what to do with all this food?"

"threw."

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Zhen Jiu regretted her words: "Wait a minute, doesn't someone in Wenshu Pavilion have a cat? Give these things to the cat."

So Kuxuan prepared to seal the oil paper package and send it to the cat.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Kuxuan noticed something unusual: "Jiulang, this snack is just average, but this dried meat is different from the ones outside. It looks like a tribute."

Hearing this, Zhen Jiu turned her head to smell the aroma: "Really? Bring it over and give it to me to taste."

Who said just now that he wouldn’t take it if it was given to him for free?

Kuxuan was too lazy to expose the duplicity of his master, so he picked up a piece of meat jerky with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

As soon as you take the meat into your mouth, the unique aroma will spread out. When you chew it gently, the meat juice will leak out, making it rich and smooth.

"Well--"

Zhen Jiu's eyes were slightly closed, her expression was intoxicated, and she occasionally let out a sigh of satisfaction.

After eating one piece, he opened his mouth again, signaling Ku Xuan to continue feeding him.

One piece after another, ten pieces of meat were eaten by Zhen Jiu in one go.

"Jiulang, the meat is gone." Kuxuan said to Zhen Jiu who had his mouth open.

Zhen Jiu suddenly had a long face: "Why is it gone? It would be too stingy for the crazy girl to give you such a small amount of meat."

Ku Xuan was speechless. When the young lady left the bag to eat, although her movements were heroic, there was a look of reluctance on her face. She even subconsciously touched her flat belly.

Come to think of it, the little lady used all the food to satisfy her hunger. She gave all the rations to the master, but she got a reputation as "stingy". He felt aggrieved for her.

"but......"

Zhen Jiu changed the subject: "This jerky is really delicious. It has the same taste as the jerky I had in the palace."

Kuxuan thought for a while: "This dried meat should have been given to the King of Chu by the palace, and the King of Chu gave it to the young lady."

It seems that King Chu valued the little lady very much, and it was the right decision for him to let his master save her.

...

After Cui Hengyue left Zhen Jiu's courtyard, she found that there was no one outside, not even the guards.

Curious in her heart, she pretended to be wandering around casually, searching for traces of water lotus and water lotus.

Shui Fu and Shui Rong were not found, but she saw Mu Feng and Mu Yun coming from Guanyin Pavilion.

Where are they going? What are they going to do?

Cui Hengyue followed them quietly. She followed them all the way to the gate of Nandi Cave. When she saw Mu Feng and Mu Yun go straight into Nandi Cave, she immediately understood that they were going to see the murderer.

I don’t know how the King of Chu will deal with the murderer. Will he really execute the murderer?

After thinking about it, Cui Hengyue walked out from behind the pillar and walked straight to the gate of the South Cave.

"stop!"

Before Cui Hengyue got close, he was stopped by Jin Hu: "This is not the place you should be, go back."

Seeing that Cui Hengyue didn't speak or leave, Jin Hu drew his sword and looked as fierce as a wolf: "If you don't leave, don't blame us for being ruthless."

At this time, a familiar voice came from behind: "Crazy girl, if you don't leave Wenshu Pavilion, you won't have anything to eat tonight."

It's Yun Chen.

"Gugu——"

My stomach suddenly sounded.

Only then did Cui Hengyue realize that she had not eaten at noon, and had also given the food she had taken from Guanyin Pavilion to Zhen Jiu. Now she was hungry and had nothing to eat...

No, she still has medicine to take.

Cui Hengyue glanced at the medicine bag in her hand with disappointment, turned around and left silently.

When he came to the courtyard, there was no one there, so Cui Hengyue walked towards the North Cave again.

"Little lady!"

Suddenly, a hand appeared in front of me, with a piece of steamed cake lying in its palm.

The next moment, Song Zhuoxing jumped out from behind the pillar and looked at Cui Hengyue with a smile: "You didn't eat anything for lunch? Here you go."

"You plotted against me yesterday, you owe me this." After Cui Hengyue found an excuse for herself not to pay, she took the steamed cake and started eating it.

Didn't you say that he was plotting against her? Why were you so unguarded against him?

Song Zhuoxing felt worried. How could such a simple little girl survive in the wolf's den?

"Aren't you afraid that I'll poison you?"

Hearing this question, Cui Hengyue swallowed the last bite of the steamed cake and looked at Song Zhuoxing as if he were a fool: "You can't find any poison in the South Hall."

Song Zhuoxing: "..."
