Chapter 8 So Curious

As the sound of ringing and wearing approaching from a distance, Chen Yi saw the woman who was knocking on the door just now, holding another woman in luxurious clothes. The woman wore a wide-brimmed hat on her head, with a long veil hanging from the brim of the hat, covering the position above her neck, and her appearance could not be seen clearly in the dim light. When the woman came over, the other people who were originally standing outside the house bowed and looked very respectful!

The woman who had originally knocked on the door and reported it came forward and knocked on Sun Simiao's door a few times. After reporting, she pushed the door open after getting permission, and helped the woman who looked like a noble lady into the house and closed the door immediately.

Chen Yi's doubts rose to a very high level. He immediately started to think about who would come to visit Sun Simiao.

The woman who came to visit was not an ordinary person, but Chen Yi couldn't think of what kind of level he was. Thinking about it, it shouldn't be too high-level woman, otherwise Sun Simiao wouldn't have such a big air and didn't come out to greet her, but let someone come in directly!

Ning Qing stood aside and didn't come to snatch the peeping little hole. Chen Yi kept looking out, hoping to figure out what was going on!

Just as he was watching curiously, Sun Simiao's door suddenly opened, and then the tall woman who came in and knocked on the door and reported came out, standing outside the door with her head down like everyone else!

Chen Yi focused his attention on this woman, trying hard to see what kind of woman he was, and immediately reached out to make the small hole bigger so that he could see a larger vision.

The eyes must have energy. Although they could not be stopped through the window, Chen Yi's special gaze made the woman feel strange. She suddenly raised her head and looked in Chen Yi's direction. The two of them had a look at each other.

After seeing the woman's appearance, Chen Yi felt stunning again, even more so than when he saw the appearance of Ning Qing, the little Taoist nun.

This is a stunning woman with very pretty facial features, she looks a little more handsome than Ning Qing, she is also a little taller than Ning Qing, and she is also very young, and she will definitely not be over twenty years old. Her breasts are very tall. According to Chen Yi's experience, if there is no padding, she will be at least above C cup. However, this woman's expression is a bit unkind. After seeing someone peeking, she immediately came over and reached out to signal others something.

Chen Yi was so scared that he quickly moved his eyes away from the window. Soon a man stood in the small hole he had caught, and his back covered it.

Ning Qing, who had just returned to his normal expression, also felt something strange and looked at Chen Yi in surprise, looking inquiring.

Chen Yi looked at the blocked small window hole and then the locked door, and was a little at a loss.

However, he quickly realized that he took Ning Qing's hand without hesitation and quickly came to the window facing the street. From the half-open window, he saw that there were a large carriage outside the inn, all of which were decorated very luxuriously. There were many men who expanded their swords beside the carriage, and some men and women who could not see clearly their faces and clothes because of the dim sky.

Unpredictable, Chen Yi held her hand away. Ning Qing trembled a few times, but she didn't break free. She let him pull it. After walking away from the window, she looked out curiously, which surprised her. Nervously, she grabbed Chen Yi's hand tightly and leaned over.

Chen Yi held Ning Qing's tender little hand tightly, but his attention was focused outside, and the scene he saw on the street surprised him even more.

Who are these people? Why are there only these people on the bustling streets and passers-by disappeared? The reason he originally thought that the woman who came to visit would not have a high status was immediately overturned. This must be a woman with a not-so-simple identity!

A knife holder guarding beside the carriage found Chen Yi peeking at him and pointed the knife in his hand at the window. A few of his companions immediately looked at Chen Yi with anger, and someone pointed the bow at this place, which really scared Chen Yi. He quickly retracted his head, closed the window, took Ning Qing's hand and walked back to the middle of the room, his heart was beating violently, and a little fear of death surged up!

Ning Qing also saw the actions of those people on the street just now, and was also frightened. He held Chen Yi's hand tightly, his face full of fear!

"Qing'er, don't be afraid, they are just here to visit your master, there will be no malice!" Chen Yi, who held Ning Qing's hand, comforted her gently, his voice was very calm. He was frightened just now, and he could calm down so quickly, which surprised Chen Yi himself!

However, his curiosity was all about the noble lady who had just entered Sun Simiao's house. Suddenly, such a woman with a special identity came to visit Sun Simiao. It was still the time when they had just arrived in Chang'an. This was so unusual!

Who is this visiting woman?

However, Chen Yi did not dare to peek again. Ning Qing, who was a little scared, was even more trembling. The two of them stayed in the house honestly.

At first, the two of them held hands, but after the fear came to their senses, Ning Qing broke away from Chen Yi's hand and hid alone and blushed. Seeing the shy Ning Qing, Chen Yi felt strange in his heart, but his attention was still on the outside!

I don’t know how long it took, but I finally heard the sound of the door opening, Sun Simiao’s voice and a nice woman’s voice, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. Then the footsteps slowly left and everyone outside the door also left.

Chen Yi and Ning Qing in the room stared at each other again, wondering if they were going out to ask about the situation!

Another sound came out, which was Sun Simiao's call to Wang Chong and Liu Hai, but he couldn't hear what they said! Seeing that Sun Simiao did not call him and Ning Qing, Chen Yi made up his mind and did not go out for the time being!

After a while, Wang Chong's shout came from outside the room: "Ning Qing, Ziying, it's time to have supper!"

The two of them responded, opened the door that was no longer locked, and walked out!

Everything outside was as usual, just like when they first came in!

-------------

Chen Yi and Sun Simiao and his disciples were having dinner together, and they heard the sound of drums coming from the street outside. Sun Simiao told Chen Yi that this was a closed-door drum in Chang'an City, with a sound of 600, indicating that the "day" was over. After the closed-door drum sounded, a curfew began. All city gates and yard gates were closed, and irrelevant personnel could not go out to the street. If there were any closed-door drums on the street, they would be arrested and punished by the patrolling Jinwu Guards.

Chen Yi still knew a little about the system of night curfew in Chang'an City during the Tang Dynasty. He knew that only the Lantern Festival, that is, the days of the Lantern Festival, or some very special days, Chang'an City released the curfew, allowing the people to go out to play at night, commonly known as "letting go". People are not allowed to go out on other nights. However, Chen Yi also had some wonders. He knew that Pingkangfang in Chang'an City was a place of music, singing and dancing, that is, a place where brothels were piled up. Chang'an City implemented a curfew, and the people could not go out at night. Is there any business in these places?

Although Chen Yi had doubts and curiosity in his heart, Sun Simiao did not say anything about the visit of the noble lady. He could not ask about these doubts and curiosity, and just buried his head in the meal.

During the meal, except for Sun Simiao's words, Ning Qing and the three Sun Simiao's disciples did not say anything. They just ate hard. After eating, they packed up their things and handed them over to the waiter waiting outside. They immediately surrendered and returned to their house to rest.

Chen Yi, who wanted to return to the room, was stopped by Sun Simiao.

Sun Simiao signaled Chen Yi to sit down and said, "Zi Ying, I and the two young disciples will go to do something tomorrow. I may not come back in the evening. You and Ning Qing will just stay in the inn and wait for us. If there is something wrong, I will ask someone to notify you..."

"Yes, Taoist priest!" Chen Yi subconsciously asked after agreeing, "Master Sun is still going out of the city?"

Sun Simiao shook his head and put away the smile on his face, "No... an old friend is sick. I want to go to the clinic for a while. It will take some time. Three or five days. Depending on the situation, you should be here in Chang'an for the first time. You are not familiar with the situation in Chang'an. I will ask Ning Qing to take you on the street tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to see if there is anything to do... To deal with it, and your clothes are the old clothes of other people in the temple. They are not suitable for your identity. You can also go to the West Market to put on a few clothes! These days, you should also consider what you are going to do next and where to go..."

Although Chen Yi wanted to know what Sun Simiao was going to do, he heard that he knew that the old Taoist did not want him to know what he was going to do. He stopped asking now, but immediately replied to Sun Simiao's subsequent words: "Master, I didn't think about what to do next. If... I still do this after these days, can I go back to the Zongsheng Palace with you? I have not discussed medical principles with the Taoist priest..."

"Of course!" Sun Simiao nodded, "I will delay some days in Chang'an City, and may open a clinic and practice medicine for a few days. It may take a few months or even longer to return to Zongsheng Palace. Then you will tell me your decision..."

"Thank you, Master!" Chen Yi stood up and bowed respectfully.

Sun Simiao waved his hand and signaled Chen Yi not to be polite, and then said, "What do you need to buy? You can tell Ning Qing that I will pay her some money and goods..."

Chen Yi was a little moved by Sun Simiao's care and his extraordinary care for him. He quickly thanked him, "Thank you for your concern, I am so grateful!"

"You don't have to be polite. Money is something outside of your body, so why bother me! You go first, work hard all the way today, and have a rest early..." Sun Simiao did not ask Chen Yi any more.

Chen Yi stood up, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to ask Sun Simiao about the noble lady, but in the end he didn't ask!

As if she knew Chen Yi's mind, Sun Simiao smiled and said, "You go and rest first. Maybe I will tell you some things in the future!"

"Yes, Taoist priest, then I'll leave first..." After hearing Sun Simiao say this, Chen Yi could no longer ask anything. After giving a gift, he left Sun Simiao's room.

Chen Yi, who returned to the room, was still confused. What would Sun Simiao do tomorrow? If he really went to see a doctor, who would he treat him? The people who would need to take a few days to treat him must not be simple people. Is it related to the noble lady who is visiting today?
