There were icicles under the eaves, and when the sun shone, they were bright and crystal-like, like crystals.

Gu Qingzhou saw a person standing at the gate.

He was wearing a plain linen shirt, and in such a cold weather, he looked calm, but his face was a little yellow.

"Master!" Gu Qingzhou walked over quickly.

Si Xingpei came out behind her, and when he heard the words, he saw a middle-aged man. She was thinly dressed, so her face was sallow and purple from the cold.

Gu Qingzhou has several masters, and Si Xingpei also knows that this one must be the fourth master of Qi.

"Master, you really arrived in the north." Gu Qingzhou was very emotional, as if seeing his relatives, tears flashed in his eyes slightly.

Qi Lao Si was taciturn and held back for a while before saying, "Qingzhou, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, Master."

"Where's the second treasure?"

"He's here with me. Master, have you been in Taiyuan Mansion, or have you just come here?" Gu Qingzhou asked again.

As she spoke, she led Qi Lao Si inside.

Erbao can't be seen, but he can hear Qi Lao Si called "Erbao", he ran out with great precision, and said happily: "Dad."

Qi Laosi touched Erbao's head and said, "I have grown taller."

Gu Qingzhou was very ashamed, and whispered to the master: "I'm sorry, master, I didn't take good care of Erbao, his eyes are still invisible."

Qi Lao Si said: "Everyone has a destiny."

Ye Wu and Ye Shan also knew that Gu Qingzhou had a very important relative here, so they got up and said goodbye.

Si Xingpei gave them two jars of yellow wine and told them how to drink it, and they both left happily.

As soon as they left, Gu Qingzhou invited Qi Lao Si to the table, and ordered the maid to add vegetables and change bowls of chopsticks.

Qi Lao Si didn't eat much food, but drank a few sips of wine.

He was silent for a long time, and there was an indescribable indifference and alienation about him.

Si Xingpei heard that Qi Laosi used to be a killer, and later hid in Jiangnan. He didn't know what he was doing for a living now. Just because he was dressed so thinly in the cold winter, he knew that his body was full of blood.

"Master, are you still leaving this time?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Qi Lao Si put down the wine glass.

He pondered for a while, did not answer Gu Qingzhou, but asked: "Qingzhou, there is a rumor in Jiangnan that you can cure a broken heart, is this true?"

Gu Qingzhou didn't think of this disease for a long time.

Heart failure is very rare, and if it is not cured, it is easy to die.

Gu Qingzhou relied on his master's notes to study for several years, and with his own understanding, he cured one.

It happened to be a medical conference that time, so all my colleagues called Gu Qingzhou a genius doctor, and even sincerely respected her as "the first genius doctor".

Heart break is the beginning of Gu Qingzhou's fame all over the world.

"You..." Gu Qingzhou looked at him. When he first came, his face was a little yellow, but now it is warm, revealing dark black.

"I didn't get it." Fourth Qi understood Gu Qingzhou's intention and said directly.

Gu Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

She was about to say something when Erbao brought Kang Han over there.

Kang Han has been reading in the room. It was a novel that Gu Qingzhou found for her.

Er Bao introduced Kang Han to Qi Lao Si: "Dad, this is Han Han, my best friend."

Kang Han's cheeks were slightly red, and the teenage girl actually knew how to be shy.

She powdered her cheeks and said in a low voice, "Hello, uncle."

Qi Lao Si was a little cautious for a while.

Gu Qingzhou stuffed a small box under the table for the fourth child of Qi.

Qi Lao Si took it to Kang Han and said, "Okay, good boy. This is for you."

Very dumb.

Kang Han happily accepted it, opened it and saw a pair of ruby ​​earrings, full of surprises. She thanks again.

Gu Qingzhou asked them, "Come over for dinner?"

Kang Han was a little afraid of Si Xingpei, and thinking that he hadn't finished the book, he said, "I'm eating in the room."

She took Erbao's hand and went back to the house.

Qi Laosi doesn't care about common things, but he hurts Erbao very much, so he asked Gu Qingzhou a little bit: "That girl..."

Gu Qingzhou said: "She is the tenth miss of the Kang family. Have you heard of the Kang family who opened the bank?"

Qi Lao Si's heart sank.

Of course he knew about the Kang family, which was a famous businessman in the entire Northwest. How could someone from such a family marry their daughter to Erbao?

Erbao has no family background and origin, and is a little fool, and now he is blind.

Qi Lao Si thought that Erbao had hope, but he didn't think so...

He sighed in disappointment.

"Let's do it." Gu Qingzhou said to the fourth elder, "If my junior brother is good, I will naturally come to ask for a kiss. But Erbao is like this... I really can't open my mouth."

"Well." Qi Lao Si sighed, very understanding.

He took two more sips of wine.

When he was almost finished, Qi Lao Si seemed to have summoned up his courage. He repeated the words of his heartbreak and asked Gu Qingzhou if he could treat it or even keep it a secret.

"Master, who has this disease?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Qi Lao Si was silent again.

He also glanced at Si Xingpei next to him.

Si Xingpei pretended not to notice, he wouldn't leave anyway.

"Master, say it directly. You don't trust others, don't you trust your apprentice?" Gu Qingzhou said.

Qi Lao Si said: "No..."

He was silent for a while.

"Qingzhou, it's not your problem, it's their problem." Qi Lao Si hesitated and said slowly, "They don't want to be born."

When Si Xingpei heard this, he finally stood up and said, "I'll go upstairs first, you master and apprentice eat slowly. Master Qi, there is still rice wine..."

After all, he turned and left.

Si Xingpei knew very well that no matter which dynasty there were, there were some sects of elites outside the world. They seek eternity and longevity, without contact with the world.

Qi Laosi used to be a killer, and he was very skilled in martial arts, but his origins were unclear.

Listening to his words, he has some contacts with people outside the world.

These people are mysterious.

Si Xingpei is not worried about Gu Qingzhou, and there are very few people who can hurt Gu Qingzhou. He also knew that as the middleman, Qi Lao Si would not put Gu Qingzhou in danger.

Qi Lao Si came here specially, and it must have been carefully thought out.

So, Si Xingpei gave them the opportunity to speak alone.

He went upstairs.

After Si Xingpei left, Gu Qingzhou also dismissed the servants, and only he and his master talked.

"Master, I don't want to be in trouble." Gu Qingzhou first expressed his attitude, "I know very well what I can say and what I can't say. If the patient is worried that I will reveal the secret, you can rest assured."

Qi Lao Si said, "Do I still trust you? You were brought up by me, and your master knows how you are."

"Okay, tell me what's going on." Gu Qingzhou said.

Qi Lao Si said: "I don't understand, everyone seems to have it, is it contagious or not?"

Gu Qingzhou was shocked: "How can everyone get it? My master has only studied one case of this disease, and I have only cured one case. I don't understand it."

Is it an infectious disease?

Gu Qingzhou suddenly panicked.

The patient she had cured before, but in front of everyone's eyes, many people were present.

Gu Qingzhou pressed the stench of pus and blood with his own hands and squeezed them out. If it was to be infected, Gu Qingzhou would be the first to be infected.

"Master, I have to go and see." Gu Qingzhou said, "I want to understand this disease."

Qi Lao Si said: "That's good."

Gu Qingzhou nodded and said impatiently, "We can leave tomorrow."

After all, she didn't care about eating anymore, so she went back to the room to read the notes she brought over, which her master taught her.

She refused to miss every word.

Master had treated him once and it failed; Gu Qingzhou treated one case, the patient is Qiu Jiong, from Shandong, and he succeeded.

While she was studying, Si Xingpei came in.

"What's wrong?" Si Xingpei asked, standing in front of the book desk, looking at her anxious face.

Gu Qingzhou told Si Xingpei about her concerns.

When Si Xingpei heard her words, his heart was also half cold, but his expression was relaxed and casual, and he said lightly: "Don't worry, not all diseases can be contagious. It is more likely to be inherited."

"...This disease is rare. If it can be inherited or contagious, there will not be only a few cases." Gu Qingzhou was completely calm at this moment.

She guessed that it could never be an infection.

If it is an infection, Qiu Jiong's family will definitely find Gu Qingzhou again.

This disease is special. Once there is a case, all Chinese medicine practitioners will hear about it.

Then, Master Qi said, how did those people get infected at the same time, and how did they get infected?

What is the cause of this disease?

These, Gu Qingzhou has to find out.

"Si Xingpei, I'm going to have a look." Gu Qingzhou said to him, "This disease is hard to come across, and my master and I have only recorded two cases. Once something goes wrong, it's irresponsible for medicine.

Whether it's for the future of Chinese medicine or for Master Qi, I want to go with him. I'll go take a look tomorrow, and try to come back in the evening. "

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Gu Qingzhou was ready to act coquettishly and said something nice to Si Xingpei, but without thinking about it, Si Xingpei said, "It's freezing cold and the road is not easy to walk. I'll accompany you, or I won't worry about it."

He agreed with her to go.

Gu Qingzhou nodded, but thought of Master Qi again, wondering if he would be willing to let Si Xingpei go.

She said, "I'll go ask Master first."

"Let me ask." Si Xingpei said, "I want to explain my position to him."

Master Qi is in the second treasure room.

Er Bao kept talking, Master Qi listened quietly. When facing Erbao, he rarely showed a bit of kindness.

Si Xingpei told Master Qi what he thought.

Master Qi pondered, and then said, "You can go. But when you get there, you have to stop first and wait outside."

Si Xingpei said: "Okay." He asked Master Qi again, "Can I come back after a day's journey?"

Master Qi said: "I can't come back. I won't go tomorrow. I'll go again after the new year. The road is very long. We will leave on the morning of the second day of the new year."

Gu Qingzhou asked, "Isn't it very critical?"

Qi Lao Si sighed and said to Gu Qingzhou, "I haven't had a Chinese New Year for a long time..."

He also wanted to accompany Erbao for a year.

Heart failure is a fatal disease, but it is not an emergency. Delaying for a few days will not affect life and death. When it was time to die, Gu Qingzhou couldn't save him if he went, it was terminally ill.

When I came out this time, I happened to meet the Chinese New Year, and I don't know which year and month there will be opportunities in the future.

Compared with Master Qi, Gu Qingzhou was more impatient, and Gu Qingzhou proposed to leave tomorrow.

"It's best to start on the second day of junior high school." Si Xingpei suddenly had a good impression of Qi Qi's fourth, who was well-versed in the world.

Even if he is born again, as long as he still has worldly feelings, he is a person worthy of contact.

Si Xingpei didn't like the worldly experts, because they looked unpredictable, but in fact they were cold-blooded and ruthless, watching the world's life and death parting and indifferent.

At the beginning, he had an opinion on the fourth son of Qi, and it was also because of this.

At this moment, his grievances were eliminated.
