Chapter 304 A Groundhog's Scream on the Spot
I remember back then, the Valley Master said he would teach Chen Lin to identify poisonous herbs, but instead pushed her into a snake pit. She risked her life to retrieve the antidote, which ultimately saved the lives of everyone in the valley, but what she got in return was this ingratitude.
Just as she was filled with despair, Yu'er suddenly broke free from the medicine apprentice and pulled an oiled paper package from his bosom. The torrential rain continued to pour down as if it were free, the blue tiles of the Liangzhou medicine shop continuing to crackle and pop, the splashing water continuing to, like—expired silver arrows wholesaled by the Jade Emperor—annoyingly trickle into everyone's collars…
Just as the atmosphere became so tense it felt like it could freeze, Yu'er waved the oil paper package around: "Look everyone! The antidote to redemption!" It turned out that this clever little devil had taken advantage of the chaos to sneak into the Valley Master's study and smuggled herbs from a hidden compartment.
"The Valley Master is hoarding the antidote for redemption! If he didn't deliberately cause trouble, how could he control us all!" Yu'er shouted, and everyone turned to look at the Valley Master. The Valley Master's face was greener than a bitter gourd. With a flick of his wrist, the jade ring on his thumb shattered with a "crack," just like his broken "dream of majesty."
"What nonsense are you spouting?! I only spared you two from being fed to the wolves back then because I was too soft-hearted!" The Valley Master lashed out with his bamboo whip.
Chen Lin grabbed Yu'er and dashed down the mountain. Her soaked skirt felt as heavy as if it were weighed down with lead balls. Chen Lin thought to herself, "If Wen Chengsi doesn't take her medicine soon, she'll probably turn into a little furnace and roast herself alive!"
Yu'er looked at the scars on Chen Lin's arm, which shone like a "medal of honor." "Three years ago, Miss almost got eaten by a poisonous snake while trying to save that group of 'medicine addicts'..."
In late spring, Chang'an City has once again entered the "willow catkin frenzy literature" mode, with pale yellow fluffy clumps drifting everywhere as if they were free.
"God is starting to shower us with giant snowflakes again!" At the entrance of West Market Alley, Niwanzi stood in the shape of a handsome constable, waving his fan, attracting the attention of passersby. The twin lotus flowers on the corner of his fan were a bit dirty from being handled, and at first glance, they looked just like a meme that had been repeatedly trampled on.
This broken fan is practically a Tang Dynasty version of an "anti-fraud app"—it's supposed to be solving the case of the missing embroiderers in Pingkangfang, but Niwanzi's thoughts are stuck in the keyhole of the truth, frantically spinning and loading, with the progress bar just sitting there doing nothing!
Who would have thought that the mysteriously disappeared embroiderer Du Xiaobing was actually the apple of the eye of Constable Du Laozao, and the white moonlight hidden in the heart of the young Niwanzi...
Back in the day, Niwanzi and Du Xiaobing chased after sugar figurines on Zhuque Street and secretly watched mandarin ducks playing in the Qujiang Pool. Those sweet memories still make Niwanzi scream like a groundhog when she thinks about them now...
Fate, like a mischievous screenwriter, caused a sudden turn of events that forced Du Xiaobing to break with her father, Du Laozhao, and fall from the pampered Du family heiress to a seamstress struggling to make a living with embroidery needles. The perfectly good "domineering heiress story" was transformed into a "survival guide for a down-on-her-luck seamstress."
Since Niwanzi staged a "horror movie encounter" at the dilapidated temple in the south of the city a month ago, Niwanzi has completely transformed into the "fan hunter" of Chang'an City, turning all the fan shops in the city upside down, even more ferocious than a husky that destroys houses.
The fan he was searching for was a crucial clue in his search for information about the vanished Du Xiaobing. But the neighbors' reaction completely shattered his defenses! The unanimous shaking of their heads made him question the meaning of life.
"Head Constable Ni, are you perhaps obsessed with aerobic exercise?!" Niwan Zi thought to herself, what aerobic? What aerobic? How did Du Xiaobing become an embroiderer? How did he become the NPC that Si Zi mentioned, who suddenly disappeared in a fantasy novel? And he didn't even leave a save file, just evaporated from the memories of Chang'an City.
At this moment, Liu Niwanzi stood bewildered in the wind, looking like a frustrated fan whose favorite drama had been abruptly interrupted. Thinking of this, Liu Niwanzi rushed off to see Sizi, only to learn about the strange tales about the moon in *Youyang Zazu*…
