Chapter 1534: Trampled into unconsciousness
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe returned home.
She sat at the table and wrote down everything she had seen and felt today, including the fragrance.
Huo Changhe watched her write down: "I led people to look for and inquire at the teahouse, but no one saw the Taoist priest or anything like that. However, I also smelled that fragrance."
He pointed at the place where Yan Ruyu recorded the scent: "According to a nearby yamen runner, it seems to be a young man with a hollow scent ball on his waist. It is very delicate, so he took a few more glances."
"Is it Taoist Priest Xuanqing?" Yan Ruyu asked, but felt something was wrong.
Although Taoist Xuanqing is not old, he is not a young man either.
"Could it be that there is someone else?"
Yan Ruyu was thoughtful and put down her pen: "My Lord, do you believe that there are people in this world who have mental illnesses?"
Huo Changhe frowned as he listened to her words: "Heart?"
"It's not the heart, nor the inside or outside, it's the mind, which can't be seen from the outside, and the doctor can't tell by feeling the pulse."
Huo Changhe thought for a moment and said, "I think I understand a little bit."
"In fact, in addition to physical illnesses, there are many mental illnesses, such as autism, where patients immerse themselves in their own world and do not communicate with others; and depression, where patients are always unhappy, want to cry, and are pessimistic and unhappy in every aspect of life."
Yan Ruyu didn't say anything too profound, but chose something simple and easy to understand.
"I think the Goddess of the Sky Eye is one of them. She is similar to autism. She needs a medium to communicate with others. I don't know what it is, but I feel that she is not a normal person."
"She is a patient?" Huo Changhe was slightly surprised. "If she is a patient and is controlled by someone, then..."
So pitiful.
Yan Ruyu nodded: "That's true, so it's important to find out her background."
"Once we find out this, it will become clear why she has the ability to predict the future."
Just as I said this, Bee Whistle came back.
His face didn't look very good, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
Fengxiao is smart and has the best tracking ability among them. He is also clever and capable, and he completes every mission well.
So, every time I come back, I am always smiling.
But this time it's different.
"What happened?"
Feng Shao swallowed his saliva: "My Lord, Princess, I'm afraid there really are ghosts in this world."
Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly: "What happened? Tell me slowly."
"I followed the girl with the Sky Eye all the way to the city gate. She and a few guards got on a carriage and left. Some of the people who followed her stopped chasing. I rented a horse and followed them at a distance."
"When we got to a small forest outside the city, a branch suddenly brushed my eyes. I lowered my head to rub it, and when I looked up again, the carriage had disappeared."
Huo Changhe asked: "Disappeared, what does that mean? Lost?"
Feng Shao swallowed his saliva and said, "No, I am best at tracking and investigating. I won't lose you easily. Besides, it only takes me a while to lower my head and rub my eyes."
"That's a fork in the road. I looked at both roads and there were no tire tracks."
"In a moment, both the man and the carriage disappeared."
"Moreover," Bee Whistle said, "When I was looking for the wheel tracks there, I felt a gust of cold wind, as if someone was watching me all the time."
Feng Xiao is good at tracking and has the sharpest intuition. His words are not exaggerated. Yan Ruyu feels that there must be a reason behind this.
Cars won't disappear for no reason, and a cold wind won't suddenly blow.
There must be a reason for this.
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Don't be afraid. Draw a map of the route first, and you won't have to worry about it anymore."
It was no problem for Fengxiao to draw the route map, but after finishing a few strokes, he was still not at ease.
"Princess, if you need to send someone else, I am willing to go."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly: "What? Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm afraid," Bee Whistle said truthfully, "but I've been there once, so I'm more familiar with the place than others. I can lead the way and explain the situation to you."
"Okay," Huo Changhe said, "You go and rest first. I'll arrange for the guards to go over and take a look later. You lead the way."
Bee Whistle paused: "Yes."
He left, and Yan Ruyu couldn't help laughing: "Why did you scare him?"
"How could I scare him?" Huo Changhe smiled slyly, "I never realized that he was so timid."
"People are naturally afraid of ghosts and gods, not to mention that he saw it with his own eyes, so he was naturally even more afraid."
Yan Ruyu looked at the route map drawn by Fengxiao, wondering what would be at that location.
"What do you think caused this?" Huo Changhe asked.
"It's hard to say unless you see it in person," Yan Ruyu shook her head. "You can only know if you see it with your own eyes."
"What is certain now," Huo Changhe took the route map, "is that the Goddess of the Sky Eye does not want anyone to know where she is hiding."
Yan Ruyu thought that the next time they met, she would have the chance to take something from her and give it to the abbot, and then she wouldn't have to worry about not being able to find her.
Huo Changhe went to arrange the personnel, while Yan Ruyu looked at the detailed map and was busy recording.
Before I knew it, it was already afternoon.
After waking up from a short nap, Huo Changhe came back and said that he had arranged the staff and planned to go again in the evening.
I just don’t know if Fengshao dares to go there at night.
As the two were discussing, Song Ping's voice came from the gate of the courtyard with an urgent tone.
"Linlang, go and report to the princess quickly. I have something urgent to report!"
Linlang did not dare to delay and hurried to report. Yan Ruyu also heard it in the house and quickly walked out of the house to the yard.
"What happened?"
Song Ping spoke quickly: "Princess, it's bad, something happened to Brother Huo."
Huo Zhongmao is not older than Song Ping, but since Yan Ruyu started the business halfway, Huo Zhongmao has been the backbone of the business and has helped everyone make a lot of money.
Therefore, his prestige among everyone is extremely high.
"Brother Huo" has become a respectful title.
Yan Ruyu's eyes narrowed: "What's going on? Where is the person?"
"He was still in front of the spice shop. He was trampled by a frightened horse and vomited blood and fainted. Our people didn't dare to touch him..."
When Yan Ruyu heard this, she immediately went out: "Quick, prepare the horses!"
"You did the right thing. You can't move easily. Go find Doctor Cao and ask him to make room for others and prepare for the operation."
Song Ping didn't understand, but he remembered it. He ran out of the house and rode on horseback to find Doctor Cao, repeating every word that Yan Ruyu said.
When Doctor Cao heard that Huo Zhongmao was injured and needed surgery, he knew it was a big deal and quickly made preparations.
There were long tables, lamps, basins and other things available. He had performed surgery with Yan Ruyu more than once and was familiar with the procedures.
Yan Ruyu quickly rushed to the scene. There were many people gathered there, but they were kept at a distance by Song Ping's men.
Before entering the crowd, Yan Ruyu smelled blood and her heart sank.
The crowd parted and she walked quickly over. Huo Zhongmao was lying in a pool of blood, with blood flowing from the corners of his mouth. He was completely unconscious.
