At night, Yu Shu closed the door of Jing Chen's room and came out. She lifted the heavy sword in her hand and looked at it under the moonlight. She touched the marks on the sword. During the day, she saw Jing Chen's sword dance with a green light. She guessed that it was the green embroidery on the sword. Because Jing Chen's sword move was too fast, it turned into light and shadow.
At that time, she thought that it would be good for him to remember something, but who knew that he could not remember anything else and only remembered a set of sword techniques. Moreover, by a freak combination of factors, he had used his internal energy. Previously, his internal injuries had not healed, so he could not use martial arts. With this torment, he would have to lie in bed for ten days to half a month. Remembering that set of sword techniques, but not being able to use it was no different from not being able to remember it. The gains did not make up for the losses.
Yu Shu knew that he was impatient, so she didn't say anything. But, she took back the sword to prevent him from acting rashly again. She remembered that when she confiscated the sword, Jing Chen's face was full of reluctance and awkwardness. Yu Shu couldn't help but laugh: "Pfft.
After laughing, she felt much more relaxed. Jing Chen's temperament was far stronger than she had imagined. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to live until now and still maintain his simple temperament despite having the fate of a fiend. If it was her, she would have long been filled with cynicism and become a great devil. In any case, she would only harm others and not herself.
Holding the sword, Yu Shu went back to the house. Tomorrow, she planned to go to the Fu An Escort Agency to inquire about Jing Chen's internal injury. If it can be cured as soon as possible, then he can practice a few more sets of swordplay. Maybe, he will be able to remember related things.
The next morning, Yu Shu went to Autumn Osmanthus Square to buy things. After walking two streets, she found a Fengshui Hall. She picked two pots of flowers and trees and carried them to the Fu An Escort Agency. Zhao Qinghui and Boss Zhou were both waiting for her. There was also a chief escort who she had not seen yesterday. Boss Zhou introduced them to each other.
"Come, let me introduce Mr. Yu. This is our Fu An Escort Agency's Chief Escort, Feng Qiang. He is also my sworn brother." Boss Zhou patted a middle-aged man beside him and pointed to Yu Shu: "This is our escort agency's newly invited Mr. Yu. Old Feng, don't look at Mr. Yu's young age. My nephew was able to find his home thanks to him." The two of them greeted each other. Yu Shu noticed that Feng Qiang's face was glowing red, his spirit was trembling with excitement, and his lower body was solid. She knew that he was a martial artist, so she smiled a little more, preparing to ask him for advice later.
Boss Zhou was concerned about the fengshui of the house. Without saying much, he led Yu Shu into the house.
Yu Shu asked him to find two strong handymen to dig out the cauldrons placed under the courtyard wall, leaving only two cauldrons in the northeast and southwest corners. She dug a ditch under the east wall and led it from the backyard kitchen. The water that the maidservants used to wash vegetables and rice flowed directly into the ditch outside the door.
After doing all this, she measured the distance between the east and west walls and the courtyard. She placed the two pots of flowers and trees she brought on the two corresponding positions. She warned Boss Zhou: "From now on, you can only plant trees on the east and west sides of the courtyard. It is not suitable to have these two pots of white calamus. You must water them daily. There is no need to protect them in the cold winter. If there are any dead leaves, clean them up in time. This flower is not delicate and is very easy to raise. You need to know not to let it die. "Boss Zhou nodded his head repeatedly and did not ask for a detailed explanation. This was because those who knew the basics valued their knowledge and did not like to reveal their knowledge. However, the escort was more straightforward. He pointed to the pot of calamus nearby and asked," Mr. Yu, is this enough? I heard that our courtyard lacks wood energy. Wouldn't two pots of flowers be too little? " Yu Shu was about to explain when she heard boss Zhou cough and say, "Old Feng, Mr. Yu has his reasons for making such arrangements. Why do you need to ask so much?" Feng Qiang smiled and said, "I'm just worried that he won't do well." Boss Zhou coughed again and interrupted him. He turned his head awkwardly and said to Yu Shu, "This brother of mine is clumsy. He doesn't have any other meaning."
"It doesn't matter." Yu Shu waved her hand and explained generously, "Calamus is originally used to prevent diseases and eliminate evil. Making wine can avoid diseases, and burning leaves can drive away insects. There is indeed a lack of wood energy in this house, so I directed water to grow wood in the direction of feng shui and dredged the joints to solve the predicament. Boss Zhou can just plant trees in the courtyard later. There's no hurry. "She spoke straightforwardly, and the few of them more or less understood some of it. Previously, Feng Qiang saw that Yu Shu was young and looked too delicate. He was afraid that she was an embroidered pillow. Now, he felt that she was much better than those arrogant and disdainful teachers.
After tidying up the house, boss Zhou sealed another ten taels of silver for Yu Shu to buy these two pots of calamus. Yu Shu said a few polite words and accepted it. These two pots of flowers cost her five taels of silver, so she still earned five taels of silver.
After settling the business, boss Zhou asked Yu Shu to eat wine. This time, Yu Shu did not refuse. Under Zhao Qinghui's suggestion, the few of them went to Sun Ji Tavern.
At noon, Sun Ji Tavern had a few more customers. They went late and there were no more private rooms upstairs. Boss Zhou originally wanted to change places, but when he saw Yu Shu greet Manager Sun and heard from Zhao Qinghui that she had set up a divination stall outside the tavern, he gave up the idea.
After the dishes were served and they chatted for a while, Yu Shu brought the topic to martial arts.
"The three of you are all martial artists. I heard that when martial arts reach a certain level, there will be internal energy. I don't know if it's true or not." Feng Qiang said, "Of course it's true. How can this be faked?" "Oh." Yu Shu looked curious. "Can Escort Feng show me your skills and broaden my horizons?" Feng Qiang waved his hand and said, "I'm a person who practices external martial arts. I'm not good at internal energy. If you want to broaden your horizons, you have to ask my big brother."
Yu Shu shifted her gaze to boss Zhou. The latter smiled and stretched out his thumb to press on the corner of the table. Yu Shu looked over and saw a clear fingerprint on the table. Obviously, this was the work of internal energy.
Yu Shu was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Zhao Qinghui's uncle, who looked weak and scholarly, would have such skills. No wonder he could manage an escort agency and open it in the capital.
Knowing what was going on, Yu Shu showed a hesitant expression. Boss Zhou saw this and took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Yu, what's wrong? If you have something to say, you can say it." Yu Shu sighed first and then said straightforwardly, "It's like this. I met a friend a month ago. He was injured and looked for a doctor to treat him. He said that he had internal injuries. He has no relatives in the capital and is only close to me. I want to find a way to treat him. Because I don't know martial arts, I can't get the gist of it. I want to ask boss Zhou if there's a way."
After the three of them heard this, their expressions were different. Boss Zhou first said, "Mr. Yu probably doesn't know that internal energy healing is not an easy thing. Although I'm good at internal energy, I don't know how to heal injuries. Even if I want to help you, I'm really powerless."
In fact, Yu Shu didn't intend to ask the other party to treat Jing Chen's injuries. Otherwise, if Ketu Xing flared up, wouldn't it harm him? After hearing boss Zhou's words, she didn't feel disappointed. Instead, she had a clue.
"But you don't have to worry." Boss Zhou comforted her again, "This internal injury is not comparable to illness. It won't kill you. Pay more attention to recuperation and buy some tonics to eat. As long as the injury is not too serious, you can recover in three to five months at most."
"Yes." Yu Shu nodded and smiled bitterly to herself. If Jing Chen's injuries could be healed in three to five months, she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
Because of such a matter mentioned during the dinner, the few of them lost their drunkenness. After a pot of wine, they didn't have a refill. Yu Shu ate her food absent-mindedly. Occasionally, she heard footsteps on the stairs and someone talking drunkenly, so she raised her head to look.
At the corner of the stairs, a young man wearing a grass-green robe was supporting a petite young man down the stairs. The young man was probably drunk, and his footsteps were unsteady. Yu Shu and the others were sitting at the side of the stairs. From her angle, she could only see the young man's back, but she could see the young man's drunken red face. She couldn't help but secretly click her tongue. In terms of appearance, only Xia Mingming could compare to her.
Not to mention that her eyes were dazzling when comparing a man to a woman, this kind of rosy drunkenness was 100% a girl.
"I'm not, not drunk, you don't need to help me, uh, I can walk by myself, hiccup."
Yu Shu retracted her gaze. When she heard this drunken voice, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look again. The two people had already gone down the stairs and were walking towards the door. Yu Shu was looking at the back of the young man who was supporting the young man. She glanced around and saw a pink and green pouch on the ground not far in front of her.
She hesitated for a moment, then put down the wine glass and rushed forward. As she bent down to pick it up, she shouted to the people in front of her: "Wrong, wait."
The pub was too noisy, so the people in front of her didn't hear her shout. She walked out of the door and waited for her to pick up the pouch. When she looked up, she couldn't see the two people. She pinched the weight of the pouch and felt the banknotes, paper, and silver ingots. She thought to herself that she was in trouble. She turned around and said goodbye to Boss Zhou and the others, then chased after them.
Right now, she was surrounded by misfortune. If she could do one more good deed, it would be good karma.
She ran out of the door and stood on the steps in front of the door. She looked left and right and saw the two people walking towards the west side of the street. She jumped down the steps and chased after them. She was afraid that there would be too many people, so she shouted: "Wait, you dropped something!"
Unfortunately, the two of them didn't even turn their heads. When they reached the end of the street, a carriage drove over. Yu Shu watched as the two of them got on the carriage like they were deaf, wasting her breath. She was unhappy, but seeing that she couldn't catch up, she weighed the pouch in her hand to test its weight. Squinting her eyes, she jumped up on her tiptoes and looked at the carriage's window. With all her strength, she threw the pouch out. With a 'whoosh' sound, the pouch with the silver ingots flew right into the window. This was the accuracy Yu Shu had honed from hunting sparrows in the forest.
The next moment, she saw the window open and someone holding his forehead looked out. Yu Shu was about to clap her hands and leave, but she suddenly saw the face that appeared by the window. Her mouth slightly opened, and she was stunned for a moment. She raised her sleeve to cover her face, turned around, and walked back. She silently comforted herself that the person didn't see her.
On the carriage, Xue Rui clearly saw Yu Shu's figure and also saw her dodging. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed his forehead and thought of the first time they met in Yiyang City a few months ago. His heart moved, and he put the pouch in his hand next to the drunk teenager in the carriage. He lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage. He gave the driver a few words and then chased in the direction where Yu Shu disappeared.
