Sweet as candy

"How could such a good person suddenly faint?"

Yan Nanhui had ordered that when he was not around, Xiao Lang's every move should be reported to him in a timely and accurate manner.As soon as Xiao Lang fainted, the person in charge of guarding naturally did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to hear the matter to his ears.

Yan Nan rushed back in a panic when he was in the middle of dealing with important matters. Xiao Lu stood at the door to greet him, but he just passed by like a gust of wind, motioning him to go in with him.

The person in front of him replied tremblingly: "Mr. Xiao, I don't know...Mr. Xiao was quite energetic in the morning. After lunch at noon, he took a book to read, and suddenly fainted before turning a few pages. "

"Has the doctor called?"

"Here we are, waiting inside."

Just in case, an elderly doctor has been waiting in this old house.It's just that everyone saw that Xiao Lang's emotions were not as agitated as they had imagined at first, or that he did something to hurt himself in order to resist, so they thought that the doctor was useless.

The old doctor lay down comfortably every day, but today was the first time he was called up.

He knew that the identity of the person the employer asked him to treat must be unusual—who would spend a lot of money to hire someone to serve him while locking the patient underground.

But he also knew clearly in his heart that he knew to use money to do things, as long as the things he explained were done well.No matter what the employer's purpose is, a helpless old man leaked the news, they have plenty of ways to deal with themselves.

He was supported down tremblingly, and not long after taking the patient's pulse, he saw his employer running in anxiously.

"Isn't there a reason to find out, what's going on?"

The doctor hurriedly stood up: "It's not a big deal, but the son's pulse is a little weak, maybe he didn't have a good rest. Maybe I can prescribe two medicines for him and he will be better."

"Didn't have a good rest?" Yan Nan suddenly realized something was wrong. Logically speaking, Xiao Lang was trapped in this room all day, except for three meals a day and occasionally reading some books, the most he did was rest.

He looked at the guard at the side and asked, "How long does Brother Xiao lie on the bed every day?"

The guard said tenuously: "Usually four hours, but in the past two days, it seems that I have not been very energetic, and the time for reading has also been reduced."

Yan Nan was thoughtful, and Xiao Lu waited behind for a while, seeing that the situation here gradually stabilized, he seized the opportunity to come forward and whisper something in his ear.

Yan Nanhui showed a hesitant expression on his face. He glanced at the unconscious Xiao Lang, and finally took a step back in compromise, and told the doctor to take good care of him. If there is any new situation, he must notify him in time. he.

The people in the room dispersed all of a sudden, the old doctor opened the medicine box, he was hesitating, the person on the bed let out a weak groan, and slowly opened his eyes.

The doctor was taken aback, and just as he was about to turn around and call for someone, Xiao Lang grabbed his wrist first, stopping his movement.

"Don't bother them, are you a doctor?"

The doctor nodded, and saw that he was frowning in pain, and hurried forward to help him support half of his body: "Young master is awake, do you feel any discomfort?"

Xiao Lang leaned against the head of the bed, put one hand on his forehead, and said in a low voice: "I feel a little dizzy, I'll be fine if I lean on it a little."

"Please take a look for me, what's wrong with this?"

The doctor paused for a moment, and then repeated what he had said to Yan Nan just now.

"Is it because I didn't have a good rest?" After hearing this, Xiao Lang expressed the same doubts as Yan Nanhui: "But I go to bed on time every day, but I still feel extremely sleepy. I can't open my eyes, and my head is groggy. Listening to people talk is like passing through a layer of cotton."

After hearing this, the doctor was covered in cold sweat. Could it be that the dose of medicine given to him was too much?But he obviously calculated it carefully, so the impact shouldn't be too big.

Turning one hand slightly, Xiao Lang hid all his expressions behind it.

In the chaos just now, before the doctor had time to close his medicine box, Xiao Lang calmly glanced over the half-opened box.

"I don't know if it's due to psychological reasons, but even the food tastes like nothing to me. It seems that there is some bitterness in it." Xiao Lang simply brought the clues to the diet, and saw that the old doctor's nose contracted nervously. , sighed inaudibly again, and laughed at himself: "I have always been in poor health, probably because I haven't seen the sun for a long time, so I have hallucinations."

"Doctor, I'm a little thirsty, please help me get a glass of water from someone outside, okay?"

The old doctor was still immersed in the panic of wrong dosage, Xiao Lang suddenly made a request, which made him dazed for a while, and walked outside while saying goodbye.

At the same time that the corner of the clothes disappeared around the corner, the person on the bed turned over with such quick movements that it was almost hard to see.

Xiao Lang casually grabbed a book next to the bed, tore off a few sheets of paper, and quickly grabbed a few bottles of medicine that he had been staring at just now, sprinkled some on the paper, wrapped it up, and put it in his arms.

When the old doctor turned around, he had just finished returning the medicine bottle and lying down on the bed.

"Thank you." He took the water from the other party's hand and smiled with pale lips: "Can you stay here for a while, I've been bored here by myself for a long time, and I don't even have anyone who can talk."

The reason why Xiao Lang was able to stand out among all the young juniors in the arena was not only because of his outstanding martial arts, but also because of his kind and gentle, handsome face with no offensive power when he smiled, he also gained a lot of points for him.

His smile did arouse a little bit of sympathy from the doctor - if it was just suspicion before, now seeing this man's appearance and how nervous his employer is towards him, the relationship between the two is self-evident.

Today's young people like to follow these crooked ways.When you fall in love with a person, you don't want to treat them well, you have to use this method to keep the person by your side.

Although he disagreed in his heart, the doctor was helpless.I was no longer a hot-blooded boy who would draw his sword to help when the road was wrong, not to mention that when the employer invited me to come, he had repeatedly told him not to talk too much with this person.

"Young master, it's not that I don't want to stay, but yours...he has already ordered me not to tell you anything related to the outside world." Facing the other party's eyes that gradually became disappointed, the doctor actually had a faint feeling of being a minion. Feelings of shame: "Sorry."

"I won't ask you about the outside world, it's just that I've been alone for too long...well, maybe I'm going to die in this prison cell soon. I don't make things difficult for you, you can go."

The old doctor was terrified, what if his condition got worse because of depression.Quickly persuaded: "You can't do it, young master. You believe me, your body is fine. You can relax, I will take care of you for a period of time and you will recover."

"really?"

The doctor nodded, and Xiao Lang smiled weakly: "Thank you, then Doctor Lao will be there."

The old doctor gave a few more careful instructions, and Xiao Lang responded one by one.He thought that the patient's mood should have stabilized, so he packed up the medicine box and left.

The guards outside sent him away, and then looked in through the window, and the people inside were lying sideways on the bed.

Although their backs are facing each other, but their undulating breathing is steady and long, and it seems that they have fallen asleep again.

As soon as the person left, Xiao Lang silently opened his eyes.

He turned sideways, deftly unwrapped the packets of medicine powder he had just stolen with one hand, twisted some with his fingers, and sniffed lightly.

I really want to thank Song Shuyan for always nagging in his ear.

Xiao Lang chuckled, and hid the medicine powder again.

In the noisy teahouse, a figure walked carefully through the noisy crowd, carrying his clothes and walking towards the second floor.

He avoided the passing tea guests, lowered his head all the way, and found the innermost private room with familiarity.

Two big men stood at the door, glanced at him, and were about to let him in sideways, when a man came out and stopped him in a cold voice.

"doing what?"

"Brother Xiaolu." The man glanced at the person who blocked him, and said politely: "I'm looking for the young master."

"My lord is discussing important matters inside, and the idlers are not allowed to enter at will." Xiaolu didn't seem to want to let him in easily, he motioned to the people beside him, and led him into another private room.

"He's awake?"

"Yes." Xiaolu has followed Yan Nanhui for longer than all of them. The man didn't dare to contradict him, but he still had Yan Nanhui's explanation in his heart, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Young master said, as long as Xiao The young master will report whenever there is any movement, Brother Xiaolu..."

"Why are you panicking?" Xiaolu said lightly, "I don't mean to embarrass you."

The man smiled dryly, Xiaolu poured him a cup of tea, and said calmly: "It's just that our young master is not the only one in that private room. They were discussing important matters. You ran in rashly and told others to wake up. Abandon business and go back with you?"

"I don't dare." Suddenly being charged with a crime, the man's hand holding the cup trembled: "You are stupid, it's just that the young master ordered you to notify me no matter what happens..."

"Let's do this." Looking at the other party's appearance of walking on thin ice quietly, Xiao Lu said: "You go back first, and I will notify him on your behalf when the distinguished guest and the young master are finished talking."

An hour later, the door of the private room next door finally opened.

A man who looked to be about fifty strode out, Xiaolu stood guard in front of the door, and bowed respectfully to him.

Seeing people walking away on the stairs clattering, he pushed open the door, looked at the helpless Yan Nan inside and replied, "Master."

As subordinates, they never had the right to ask their master. Xiao Lu didn't dare to ask him how things were going, but he could guess from his expression that he was probably not happy.

It's a shame that the affairs in the palace alone are enough for the young master to be exhausted, but he also has to worry about Xiao Lang's safety.

Xiao Lu gritted his teeth with hatred, and sat quietly with Yan Nan for a while, before reluctantly telling Xiao Lang about waking up.

"Awake? That's good." Yan Nanhui put down his hands, and was about to get up and go back.

"Hey." Xiaolu suddenly said, Yannan cast a puzzled look.

"Young master has been busy all day, and you haven't eaten yet."

"Go back and eat something casually." Yannan looked back at the sky outside, seeing that it was not too late, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Brother Xiao probably didn't eat at this time, I will accompany him."

The two of them had their own thoughts on the return trip, Xiao Lang's dinner had already been delivered, but he looked like he had a poor appetite, and he put it down after only a few mouthfuls.

"Brother Xiao." Yan Nanhui came in before the sound came, and looked at Xiao Lang's pale face, and worriedly stretched out his hand to caress, but Xiao Lang turned his head to avoid it.

Yan Nanhui didn't get serious with a patient who just passed out, and sat down beside the bed, and found that the food beside him hadn't moved much, and asked curiously, "Why don't you eat?"

"Mouth numb." Xiao Lang replied lightly.

"Hemp?" Yan Nanhui picked up a chopstick, and was about to try it for himself, when Xiao Lu standing beside him hurriedly stopped him: "My lord!"

Yan Nan paused for a moment, then remembered that they would add drugs to suppress Xiao Lang's martial arts in their meals every day.

Xiao Lang looked over with cold eyes, Yan Nan hesitated for a moment, and put the chopstick dish into his mouth.

"It's a bit lighter." He put down his chopsticks and asked people to remove all the unfinished food, and turned around to make Xiao Lang happy: "I'll ask someone to make a new portion, Brother Xiao will eat some more."

"No need." Xiao Lang refused: "In addition to sitting or lying down every day, those things are heavy in my stomach, and I may not be able to digest them completely."

Yan Nan was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "You can do whatever you want. I'll let the kitchen prepare first. If you're hungry at night, just call out."

After finishing speaking, he left and called the old doctor who treated Xiao Lang in the afternoon to ask him one by one.

The doctor didn't dare to be careless, and explained all of Xiao Lang's symptoms in detail, except for the last one where Xiao Lang expressed his intention to die.

The employer's intention is to hang the person up and down. If he knows that the other party has the idea of ​​committing suicide, he will not have a lot of good fruit for himself.

"The medicines I originally prescribed were calculated on the basis of a normal person. But it may be because the young master was trapped... no, he has been living here for a long time and has not been able to move, so his physical condition has declined a little. unwell."

Yan Nanhui put one hand lightly on the table, and tapped the table with his index finger slowly: "Then tell me how to do it."

The doctor replied: "My lord, he hasn't seen the sun for too long, so he's mentally weak. In my opinion, it's better to reduce the dose of the medicine a little, so as to restrain him and not make his body weak too easily."

Yan Nanhui thought for a while, then agreed: "Then let's do it this way, remember what I said, no matter what he asks you about outside, he can't answer anything."

On the second day, Xiao Lang's food was delivered by Yan Nanhui himself.

Xiao Lang still treated him with an attitude of indifference, Yan Nanhui put down the food table, and pushed him a little closer: "Come, have a taste."

Xiao Lang glanced at him indifferently, this time he didn't resist anymore, took a bite from the chopsticks: "Why, the cook has changed?"

Yan Nan smiled back and said, "What, it's not numb this time?"

"It's half a catty."

Xiao Lang replied lightly, Yan Nan propped his head back and smiled to see him finish eating, then suddenly approached him, and asked in an extremely alluring tone: "Brother Xiao, do you want to go out?"

Xiao Lang paused, looked up at him, and said in disbelief, "Will you agree?"

"Brother Xiao's thoughts are all written on his face." Yan Nan replied with a smile.

He looked at Xiao Lang's face that had become fairer because he hadn't sunbathed for a long time, and the blue blood vessels around his neck were clearly visible, as if they could be easily cut off with his hand.

The old man was right, people who haven't seen the sun for a long time are indeed getting worse day by day.

His struggle with the one in the palace hasn't come to an end yet, Brother Xiao can't be the first to have an accident.

"I can take Big Brother Xiao out, but Big Brother Xiao must promise me not to act rashly."

While saying this with a chuckle, Yan Nanhui stretched out his hand to caress his Adam's apple: "I can also tell Brother Xiao in advance that there are many people of mine outside. If Brother Xiao wants to call for help, then you can too naive."
