Chapter 45
"Brother Xiao, are you up? Pack up and we're ready to go back!" There was a knock on the door, and it was Jiang Ping who came to call Xiaoxun.

"Ma..." As soon as Xiaoxun opened his mouth, he found that his voice was hoarse. He cleared his throat twice and said, "I'll be here soon!"

When Jiang Ping heard Xiaoxun's answer, he turned around and greeted the other brothers to hurry up and prepare their bags, so that they could leave early.

Xiaoxun got up and changed into dry clothes, packed his bags and the gifts he brought to his family yesterday, after thinking about it, he blushed and put [-] Wen by the pillow, which was to leave extra hard work for Xiaoer who cleaned the room reward.

When he went downstairs, the others had already packed up and started eating breakfast.

"Brother Xiao, sit on my side!" Ma Laosan waved at him with a bun in his hand, moved his buttocks to make room for him.

Xiaoxun walked over and sat next to him, and also picked up the buns to eat. He had a dream all night, and now he felt extremely hungry.

"Hey, you have such a good appetite, what did you do physical work last night?" Ma Laosan winked and teased: "The young man is full of firepower."

"Okay, okay, Ma Laosan, don't keep teasing brother Xiao, you are in such a good mood, why? Did you win money last night?" Zhai Er interrupted.

"Hey hey, I'm concerned about brother Xiao. Besides, it's not a trivial matter for me, Ma Laosan, to win money~"

"Hush, keep your voice down, the boss will scold you again after hearing that..." Li Wu saw Jiang Ping coming over and hurriedly reminded Ma Laosan who was getting carried away.

Seeing that everyone had almost eaten, Jiang Ping said that it was time to get on the boat and set off.

The return journey is light and simple, and the empty boat goes along the river. After picking up the horse at the horse shop, it is changed back to the road. In less than ten days, Shangxi Town is in sight.

Jiang Ping was reluctant to part with Xiaoxun, a good seed, and invited him and the bodyguard team several times to go back to the bodyguard agency in the state capital to stay for a few days.

"Brother Xiao, the nearest escort agency in Shangxi Town is only a few days away. Why don't you go with us? You can still get paid by the shopkeeper in the escort agency!"

Xiaoxun thanked Jiang Ping for his kindness with his hands clasped together. After spending time together, he understood that Jiang Ping was a warm-hearted big brother.

"No, Brother Xiao, come with us!" Ma Laosan squeezed the horse's belly, urged the horse to take a few steps and ran to the two of them, interjecting: "My home is in Guijiao Lane, Qinzhou. Come to my house for a few days! I will introduce my sister to you!"

He is satisfied with Xiaoxun now, he is handsome, good at martial arts, and does his duty well. If his younger sister can have a good relationship with Xiaoxun, he, Ma Laosan, can laugh out loud in his dreams.

"Come on, old man Ma, brother Xiao can't take it anymore when your sister is so hot~" Someone immediately whistled and teased young man Ma.

"So what if it's hot, my sister is beautiful!" Mentioning his own sister, Ma Laosan became very excited, raising his whip and was about to make gestures with his brother who made fun of him.

Xiaoxun watched them play and laugh without saying a word. For the past month, the scorching sun and flying dust did not make him look depressed, but instead added maturity and stability to his face. Clear, with eyes as sharp as a knife's edge.

If he was an unedged sword before, now he can show his sharp edge.

The horseshoe clattered, the gate of Shangxi Town had arrived.

Xiaoxun got off his horse, handed the reins to Zhai Er, and clasped his fists to the six of them, "Xiaoxun thanked you brothers for taking care of me this month. I have concerns at home, so I won't go on with you any longer."

Hearing what Xiaoxun said, Ma Laosan sighed exaggeratedly, regretting his unfavorable brother-in-law, causing everyone to laugh.

Jiang Ping clasped his fists in return and said: "The green mountains will not change, and the green waters will flow forever. Brother Xiao, we are destined to meet again! If you want to continue to walk in the darts, come to Shunji Escort Bureau to find me!"

Several other people also cupped their fists to bid farewell to Xiaoxun.

After watching the escort chariot and everyone go away, Xiaoxun clenched his dagger tightly, tightened the burden behind his back, and couldn't wait to walk towards the Tzu Chi Hall.

Shangxi Town, which has not been seen for a month, is still lively, and the stalls on both sides are doing business, drinking tea and snacks, chatting and chatting, just like the day they left, as if the days of this month slipped through the fingers.

Xiaoxun walked briskly, he wondered what Xiaoruo would say when he saw him, would he think he was tanned?Or will he say "Axun is back" like every time he comes home?
Is old man Cen still picking up that medical book with yellowed pages this month, secretly hiding snacks for the two cubs while hiding from Xiaoruo's attention?

I don't know if Xiaozhao has made progress in his studies, but he has always been diligent, studious and smart, so he must be praised by Zheng Dongyang.Even this little girl, Xiaoyou, thinks about playing every day, and she doesn't know if she can recite the "Disciple Rules" smoothly.

The happy thoughts in his heart were all interrupted when he saw that there was no one at the entrance of the Tzu Chi Hall from a distance.

It's not yet Shen's time, and the sun is still shining brightly in the sky. In the past, at this time, there are always people going in and out of the Tzu Chi Hall to grab medicine.

He frowned, quickened his pace and ran to the door, only to see that the door of the Tzu Chi Hall was closed, and a small wooden board was hung on the doorknob, on which was written "something at home, closed today."

Xiaoxun knew that this small wooden board was custom-made by Xiaoruo, and on the other side it said "open today, welcome." She would hang up the open side every day when it opened, and rarely used the closed side.

Pat on the door panel, bang bang bang, no one answered.

Xiaoxun frowned deeper, his heart seemed to be tightly clenched by one hand, and he quickly walked around to the side and rear of the Tzu Chi Hall, which is the small gate of the backyard.

He took out the key from under the black tiles in the upper right corner of the wall, and unlocked the small door. He opened the door and shouted, "Ruo Ruo? Old Cen?"

No one responded.

Not caring about putting down the package on his back, he took three steps in parallel, opening several rooms one by one to check
There was no one in the four bedrooms, and there was no one in the pharmacy. The medicine stove was cold when you touched it, which meant that there were no cannon medicines for at least three or four hours.

Xiao Xun became more and more flustered, just when terrible speculations were uncontrollably appearing in his mind, an old woman's voice came from outside the gate of the small courtyard.

"Is Brother Xun back?"

Following this question, a chubby old woman poked her head in from the door.

She is the Li family next door to the Tzu Chi Hall, and she has been neighbors with old man Cen for decades, and the two families often say hello and give food or something, and the friendship is very good.

"Oh, it's really Xiao Xun, you're back!" Mrs. Li saw that it was indeed Xiao Xun, and she tiptoed into the courtyard.

"Aunt Li, do you know where Ruo Ruo and the others have gone?" Xiao Xun asked anxiously.

"Why did you come back! You don't even know what happened this month when you were away! Ruo Ruo and Dr. Cen should be at Zheng Tongsheng's house right now!"

Zheng Tongsheng is Zheng Dongyang, and he only got to Tongsheng in the end. Although he can no longer take scientific examinations, the elderly people in Shangxi Town are still used to calling him Zheng Tongsheng.

Hearing what Li said, Xiaoxun's mind buzzed, and all kinds of terrifying guesses seemed to have materialized. In just a few seconds, he launched an offensive of thousands of troops towards his heart, and his heart seemed to be jumping from his throat. When he came out, he was so nervous that he didn't notice that Li Shi said this with a smile.

There was no time to ask Mrs. Li for details, so he just threw the bundle on the table, and Xiaoxun rushed to Zheng Dongyang's house.

It was too late for Mrs. Li to call him, so she could only shake her head helplessly and help him lock the courtyard door again, muttering as he locked it: "Brother Xun usually looks so stable, why is he so flustered today and didn't say anything?" It's over..."
