Master is not married yet

Chapter 46

Not only did the elder brother take out the silk from the tomb, but he also needed to repay it. The elder brother and the second elder brother had no choice but to do odd jobs in the inn to compensate.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper saw that I was wrapped like a zongzi, so he took pity on me and promised us to stay in the guest room until the payment was completed, since there were no one around anyway.

The shopkeeper is such a nice guy, I thought.

Since the third senior brother did not participate in the fight, he was not entitled to compensation, so he was assigned the task of guarding me.

I was taken back to my room, and I lay down flat at the request of the third senior brother, while he pulled a crescent stool and sat beside my bed, his eyes flickering, he seemed hesitant to speak.

"Senior brother, do you have something to tell me?"

He sighed softly, touched my thickly bandaged neck with both hands, and stroked my hand again: "I'm sorry for making you hurt like this."

"You've apologized countless times," I smiled, "and I'm still doing well? What's there to be sorry for?"

After hearing what I said, he didn't answer, just kept silent, so I had to change the subject to divert his attention.

"In the end, we didn't get anything from the mute emperor's tomb, and all the silk that the senior brother took was lost because of the second senior brother's impulsiveness. It really went to the tomb for nothing," I laughed.

"Not necessarily," the third senior brother said suddenly, and took out a pair of exquisitely crafted hairpins from his sleeve and handed them to me.

I took it from his hand and looked at it carefully.

This is a hairpin made of white jade, it is natural, there is no trace of seams at all, it is very likely that it was polished with a whole piece of jade, and the end is inlaid with a piece of white crystal, which is crystal clear and free of impurities.

You can tell it's a treasure at a glance.

The third brother said: "This is the hairpin you wanted to find for the female paper figurine back then. Because of what happened later, I didn't have time to insert it back for her, so I took it out with me." He paused and continued, "Although this hairpin is of excellent quality, it's a pity that it can't be exchanged for money immediately. It can only be carried with you first, and you can see if you can sell it when you return to Chang'an someday."

Holding the hairpin, I remembered that the third senior brother didn't know that the paper figurine was actually a dead person, and what we were holding was her relic, so I managed to laugh and said, "Okay, let's keep it first."

The third senior brother nodded, then looked at me with a worried expression, "Does it still hurt?"

"Huh? Did you mean the wound?" I touched my neck, "It doesn't hurt anymore. Doctor Qin's medicine is very effective. You can start after you take a rest."

He suddenly cupped my face.

"Tudou, you know that your eyes will wander when you lie, right?" The third senior brother smiled helplessly, "That's not okay, what exactly did Doctor Qin say, tell me frankly."

"Doctor Qin said at least half a month of recuperation, so I won't be able to participate in the Martial Arts Conference in a few days."

The third senior brother was stunned for a moment, his dark pupils filled with guilt again, "It's all my fault."

If this goes on like this, he will keep blaming himself again, so I hurriedly interrupted: "But, Doctor Qin said that there is actually another way for me to recover immediately!"

He turned his head when he heard that.

"He said that there is something called shark tears, which are tears shed by sharks. They look like pearls and are often used by rich and powerful people to make jewelry, but few people know that shark tears can actually heal everything. Trauma is a rare treasure."

"Merren's tears?" he repeated, "Since it is a rare thing, where can I find it?"

"Actually, the man in white just now should have clues of shark tears," I said, "but before I had time to ask, the senior brother and the second senior brother had already fought with him, and now I don't know where to find it." he."

"The blind man they were talking about just now?" Third Senior Brother asked, "What is his relationship with you? And why do you know about Shark Tears?"

"Well, Qi Lang is a friend I met by chance in Chang'an. He came to the city to look for someone. Because he has traveled all over the world and has a lot of experience, he is especially familiar with the affairs of the sea, so I think he may know about the shark tears thing."

The third senior brother was quiet for a while, and then said: "Well, the master only mentioned the matter of the blind man to Senior Brother Luo and Senior Brother Bai, but never to me."

"Maybe it's because you will ask the bottom line, such as why did you kill Qi Lang, and what is the difference between Master and him?" I said, "If you keep pestering him, he might be bored to death. In comparison, senior brother doesn't bother to ask about master's affairs, and second senior brother doesn't bother to ask, there are not so many troublesome things."

He chuckled softly, "Maybe."

I said: "So third senior brother, please help me, let me go to Qi Lang, and I promise to come back after asking about the Merren's Tears."

The third senior brother looked at my face, touched my hair and said with a smile: "Okay, although I don't want to admit it, but the blind man doesn't seem to be a bad person, if it can really make you better soon, I will feel guilty." My heart might calm down a bit."

"Can you know if he is a good man?"

"Remember the sharp cone on the wine urn? Although I don't know how he can turn the liquid into a solid state, if he wants to, he can take the life of the careless Senior Brother Bai, but he didn't do it, instead He ran away immediately after gaining time, probably because he didn’t mean to hurt Senior Brother Bai,” he said, “Since he can’t see, he probably hasn’t gone far. There are few people here, and Guanyi Tower can’t find it for the time being. Footprints walking crookedly in the dirt will find him soon."

I nodded, and when I got up to leave the bed, the third senior brother suddenly grabbed my hand. Although there was no expression on his face, there was a trace of cruelty in his eyes, "However, I only give you half an hour. If you don't come back, I'll kill him wherever he goes."

For a moment, I felt that the appearance of the third senior brother overlapped with that of the master, and there were always turbulent waves hidden under the calm face.

"Got it," I swallowed.

Then the third senior brother picked me up, jumped toe-to-toe from the wide open window to the top of the tree, and then lightly jumped down along the trunk, and put me on the ground.

"Remember, half an hour," he said.

I followed the footprints mentioned by the third senior brother all the way to a small stream, but the footprints were completely broken when they reached the stream.

I whispered Qi Yunqing's name, but there was no other sound except the gurgling of the brook, and I couldn't help feeling discouraged.

I finally met Qi Yunqing, but I just let him go. I don’t know when I will see him next time. When I turned around and wanted to go back to the inn with concealed disappointment, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the stream.

I turned around following the sound, and saw that Qi Yunqing in the stream had no veil, his black hair was dripping with water, his two ear fins stood on the side of his face, his face was dyed with light blue scales, and his lower body was covered with scales. The tail, the tail fin is beating the water, looking in my direction.

It was the first time I saw him turning into a shark, and I couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.

"Those two kids are really ruthless. They greeted me directly without saying a word. If I hadn't stepped on my veil and stumbled on the stool, I'm afraid I would have been pierced through," Qi Yunqing said to me. Complained, "And what is the meaning of throwing wine at me later, it made my clothes smell of wine, and I couldn't even wash them off."

"Qi Lang!" I came back to my senses and trotted towards him, "You didn't leave!"

"I just heard that you were injured, so I couldn't be more relieved," he said, "Where did you get hurt, is it serious?"

"It's nothing, it's just a flesh wound," I said, "but I came to you for this matter, Qi Lang, since you are a shark, do you know about shark tears?"

He pressed his thin lips tightly and asked me, "Why did Yingying ask about Shark's tears?"

"I heard that Merren's Tears can heal traumatic injuries. I suffered a knife wound on my neck. Although it is not serious, it will take time to recover, so I came here to ask Qi Lang."

After hearing this, his tense expression relaxed a little, and he replied: "So it was for this, I thought it was, Yingying, you are not that kind of person."

"What kind of person?" I wondered.

"Actually, my eyes were blinded because of the merman's tears," Qi Yunqing said with a slightly hurt expression, "It's all because of human greed, no, it would be more appropriate to say viciousness."

I was a little stunned.

He continued: "Yingying, although I want to help you, my eyes are broken and I can't cry anymore. I can't give you shark tears."

I felt a little guilty, I didn't expect Qi Yunqing's sad past to be caused by the shark's tears, so I hurriedly said: "It's okay, I was rude, originally, it's just a wound that will heal after half a month, it's not a big deal."

Qi Yunqing's upper body was lying on the rocks by the stream, his soaked white shirt revealing his muscular lines, he thought for a while, and then said: "However, when I was in that inn just now, I did feel the presence of my kindred."

I opened my eyes wide, "Same family?"

"Well, although the breath is quite weak," he said, "it is indeed the breath of a shark."
