Rebirth of the ghost concubine of the confused country

Chapter 193 Washing Your Feet
Zhu Zixin and Nangong Xi followed behind him.

The creaking sound of the wooden stairs underfoot, in this silent night, actually had a sense of eerie terror.

Nan Gongxi held Zhu Zixin's hand with a big hand at this time, as if she was afraid that she would be afraid, and smiled back at him, Zhu Zixin did not refuse.

They went up step by step.

Upstairs is a row of guest rooms, a long corridor leading to the innermost.

"Your guest room is over there, please follow me."

The shop waiter suddenly turned around and said to Zhu Zixin and Nangong Xi.

His voice was hoarse, and it seemed to take some effort to speak.Can't help but worry for him.The most disturbing thing was the long scar on his face, which looked so terrifying and hideous under the dim light of the lantern.

"Okay, please trouble the little brother to lead the way!"

Nangong Xi always had a smile on her face and a gentle attitude.It was as if everything in front of him was commonplace.

The waiter took them to the innermost room in the corridor, opened the door with a key, and said slowly, "This is it."

Zhu Zixin took Nangongxi's hand and walked inside.When passing by the side of the waiter, he couldn't help but quickly dodge to the side.

The room looked fairly clean, with a bed, a cabinet, and dark red furniture.

It's just that when I entered the door, I found that there was a musty smell in the room, which was very unpleasant.

At this time, the waiter said speculatively: "This room is for the young lady, and the room next door is for the young master."

Nangong Xi nodded slightly, expressing that she understood.I also felt a little strange, just now the shopkeeper didn't want them to have a room or two rooms, but now he insisted on letting them live separately. Is this just because they don't look like a husband and wife?

But although she was puzzled in her heart, Nan Gongxi never expressed it.

"Young one, go get hot water for the two guest officers, and the guest officers will wait a moment."

At this time, the little girl said again.

After finishing speaking, he lit a candle on the cabinet, and the room suddenly brightened.

"I wonder if there is a medical clinic in this town?"

Nangong Xi asked at this moment.

"Oh, yes, does the guest officer want to see a doctor?"

Xiaoer asked.

"Ah."

Nangong Xi nodded.

"Oh, then you don't have to run away, I'll fetch the doctor for you, soon."

The little girl said again.

"So good!"

Nangong Xi nodded.

"The guest officer rests first, and the younger one will be back soon."

After finishing speaking, the little two went out with the lantern.

Seeing that Xiao Er go out, Nan Gongxi narrowed her eyes and said:
"I think it would be better for us to live in the same room tonight!"

Zhu Zixin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he also knew what Nan Gongxi was worried about, so he nodded without thinking.

"Actually, Zixin, you don't have to worry. Maybe there is nothing wrong here. It's just because these two people look a little strange, so we don't feel safe. However, although this inn looks weird, based on our Martial arts, self-protection is still no problem."

At this time, Nangong Xi comforted Zhu Zixin.

What he said was also true. Although both of them were injured now, they were both slightly injured and nothing serious.

"Well, however, we'd better wait until the dead of night to observe and see where we can get away. If we encounter any accidents at that time, we should make plans early."

Zhu Zixin thought for a while and said.

"Well, you're right!"

Nan Gongxi agreed, and at the same time admired Zhu Zixin's thoughtfulness in her heart.

Zhu Zixin walked to the window, opened the curtains a little and looked outside. Because the sky was too dark, he could only see what seemed to be a horse gallery below.She was a little relieved.Only then did he return.

At this time, there was a creaking sound from the wooden stairs. They heard some movement, and the two exchanged a glance. Nan Gongxi hurried to the door. As soon as he opened the door, he turned around and saw the waiter with someone standing at the door.

"The doctor is here for you!"

The waiter said, pointing to the people behind him, and then left with a lantern.

"You are the doctor?"

Nan Gongxi looked at the person in the future. The person looked about 50 or [-] years old, with a short and fat body and a kind face, so he asked.

"Exactly!" said the man.

"Please come in!"

Nangong Xi stretched out her hand as a gesture of invitation.

Hearing this, the man carried the medicine box on his back and entered the house.

"Please take a look at the condition of this lady's injury? Also, she seems to have caught a cold, please take a look."

Nangong Xi said politely.

Seeing this, Zhu Zixin hurried forward, nodded and said:

"Trouble for Mr. Langzhong!"

The doctor hurriedly said:
"Miss son, you are welcome! Don't hesitate, miss, please sit down, and I will give you a pulse right away."

Glancing at Nangong Xi and realizing that he was also looking at herself, Zhu Zixin nodded slightly, sat at the table beside her, and passed her arm over.

The doctor stretched out his hand to feel his pulse, and said after a while:

"Miss' physical strength is a little poisonous, and you need to take some medicines. The symptoms are not typhoid fever, it is all caused by the toxicity. As for the trauma, the villain will prescribe some ointment for the young lady to apply for a few days. Get well."

After finishing speaking, the doctor opened the medicine box, took out a porcelain bottle from inside, and handed it to Nan Gongxi, saying:

"This is a plaster for external application. For internal use, you need to go with the villain."

Hearing this, Nan Gongxi frowned slightly, wanting him to leave Zhu Zixin?Could this be a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain?
Thinking of this possibility, Nangong Xi said:

"Can you let Xiaoer do it for you?"

Seeing him asking such a question, the doctor looked at him. For some reason, Nan Gongxi felt that there seemed to be a mockery and regret hidden in that look.

Just about to ask, Xiaoer's voice came from the stairs:

"Langzhong, your youngest son just came to see you."

Hearing this, the doctor's expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said to Nan Gongxi:

"Since the young master can't go out, then I have to go with the second brother Lao."

After finishing speaking, he raised the request box, turned around and left in a hurry.

"Hey!"

Seeing him leaving just like that, Zhu Zixin couldn't help feeling anxious, but before he uttered a single word, the man had already disappeared.

"Xiao Hei, you haven't asked the doctor to take a look at your injury, why did you let him go?"

Seeing this, Zhu Zixin got up, and said while going to chase.

"Forget it, I think he has something to hide!"

Nangong Xi stood where she was, and said thoughtfully.

"What? Unspeakable secret?"

Zhu Zixin was a little puzzled.

"Yes, just now I saw him talking hesitantly, as if he wanted to tell us something, but..."

Having said that, Nangong Xi thought for a while before saying:

"No wonder he wants me to go get the medicine with him!"

"You mean?"

When Zhu Zixin heard the words, he immediately understood.Looking at Nangong Xidao.

Nangong Xi looked into her eyes and nodded slightly.

The two fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Nangong Xi said:
"Don't worry about it so much, come on, let me give you medicine first."

"Is there any problem with the medicine?"

Zhu Zixin asked with some concern.

"Probably not, I trust the doctor!"

Nangong Xi said.

After finishing speaking, he said to Zhu Zixin with some uneasiness:
"Lend me your hairpin."

Hearing this, Zhu Zixin hurriedly pulled out a silver hairpin from her head and handed it to Nangongxi. Nangongxi inserted the hairpin into a porcelain vase and took it out to see that the hairpin was still as bright as new. Then she said with confidence:
"fine!"

Seeing this, Zhu Zixin felt relieved, but reached out to take the medicine bottle from Nan Gongxi, saying:

"I'll paint it myself."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and went to the bed, put down the window curtain, and began to paint inside.

Seeing this, Nangong Xi shook her head and smiled slightly, and went to guard the door.

After a while, Zhu Zixin said in the room:

"All right."

Nangong Xi just opened the door and walked in.

The atmosphere in the room was a little strange, a little indescribably ambiguous, which made both of them a little uncomfortable, and just as they didn't know what to say, Xiao Er's voice came from outside the door:

"Guest officer, the medicine has been brought back, do you need me to prepare it for the young lady?"

"Oh, no, you just need to tell me where the kitchen is, and we'll cook it ourselves."

Nangong Xi hurriedly said.

"Oh, yes, the kitchen is in the backyard, guest officer, please go ahead."

The little girl responded, and the sound of footsteps went away.

Nangong Xi opened the door, and suddenly saw a pack of medicine placed on the ground at the door.

"Zixin, let's go to the kitchen to make medicine together."

Nangong Xi turned to Zhu Zixin and said.

Knowing that he was worried about being alone in the room, Zhu Zixin didn't say anything, nodded and followed.

The two went downstairs together, but saw the shopkeeper's corpse-like eyes staring at the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. Zhu Zixin turned his head away, not wanting to meet the man's eyes, and the guide passed by him. .

After walking to the kitchen, the two boiled the medicine on the fire, and chatted one after another. Half an hour later, Nan Gongxi tested it with a hairpin to see if it was poisonous, and then let Zhu Zixin drink the medicine with confidence. After that, the two returned to the guest room just now.

Just after returning to the guest room, there was a knock on the door from Xiaoer.

Hearing the voice, the hearts of the two tightened again, Zhu Zixin said:

"Who?"

With a "creak", the door opened with her voice.

The shop waiter didn't answer her, but just put the basin of hot water in his hand on the basin stand, turned around and walked out the door.

When he reached the door, he turned around and said, "Don't go out at night, especially if you hear any noise, don't go to other rooms, otherwise, we won't be responsible for what happens."

After speaking, he pulled the door, and with a bang, the door closed.

This sound made Zhu Zixin and Nan Gongxi sit up straight in shock at the same time, and Zhu Zixin couldn't help cursing: "Crazy!"

After scolding, she walked to the side of the basin stand, twisted a sweat towel and handed it to Nangong Xi, letting him wash his face, Nan Gongxi took the sweat towel and wiped his face.Only then did Zhu Zixin wash his face.

She then poured the hot water into the foot basin for Nangong Xi to wash her feet.

Nangong Xi washed her feet indiscriminately before wiping her feet.Zhu Zixin couldn't help smiling, and knelt down to wash him up. Along the way, he sacrificed his life to save herself many times, and she felt that she owed him too much.Besides, he was originally a pampered prince, but he suffered so much for himself, so he should take care of him!
