Chapter 216 When a mouse meets a cat, what are you afraid of?
"Shopkeeper Mi and the guys have gone to the warehouse outside the city to pick up the goods, and I will stay here to take care of the store."
"The medical clinic has been almost decorated in the past few days. I'm just waiting for you, boss, to check and see if there's anything else that needs to be changed."
When Mo Lingling saw the man following Ji Qingwu, her cheerful smile completely froze on her face.
She stammered: "Ji, Miss Ji, the new medicinal materials haven't been sorted yet. I, I'll sort them out first."
Ji Qingwu watched Mo Lingling fleeing like a mouse after seeing a cat. When she turned around, she saw Duan Mingfeng, whose expression became increasingly sinister.
She definitely concluded: "Miss Mo is very afraid of Master Duan."
Duan Mingfeng hummed in a low voice.
Mo Lingling has been afraid of him since she was a child, and until now, it seems to have become a natural instinct.
Ji Qingwu said warmly: "You should ask Miss Mo why she is so afraid of you. You can untie this knot."
Duan Mingfeng folded his arms and said nonchalantly: "Many people in this world are afraid of me, and I can't ask them all."
Ji Qingwu nodded: "That's right."
Duan Mingfeng is ruthless and has become a terrifying presence for countless people in Lin'an.
It's just that they are from the same hometown, and they will rarely meet again in the future, but she can only say this.
Now the decoration of the medical center has a good look.
Ji Qingwu led Duan Mingfeng to the back room on the first floor, which was a special room where doctors sat.
She extended her hand to invite: "Master Duan, please sit down."
Duan Mingfeng, who was sitting opposite Ji Qingwu, suddenly felt like he was sick.
Moreover, she is still suffering from infertility.
There is no other reason. The murals in this house are not Shennong, let alone medicinal herbs, but pictures of innocent fat dolls.
Ji Qingwu saw him staring at the paintings on the wall.
With slightly curved eyes, he introduced with a smile: "Does Master Duan also like these paintings? Miss Mo found them all."
Duan Mingfeng withdrew his gaze and said with a straight face: " I’m not happy, Miss Ji summoned me, what’s the matter?”
Ji Qingwu? She wanted to see him for serious business, so she said, "Master Duan, I just want to ask you, have you discovered anything weird in recent days?"
Duan Mingfeng replied without thinking, " Why do you ask? Nothing special happened in Lin'an City."
Ji Qingwu continued: "Mr. Duan, have you seen anyone special?"
A strange color flashed in Duan Mingfeng's eyes: "Miss Ji, what did you encounter? Did something happen? "
Ji Qingwu smiled and said: "Sir Don't be nervous, I met this person twice, but judging from his appearance, he is not from Beili, he should be from the west."
Because he fled from the north to Nanchu. Ji Qingwu's experience made Ji Qingwu even more wary of people who suddenly appeared in foreign lands.
Moreover, the war between Xijin and Beili on the border is tense now, so she has to pay more attention.
Duan Mingfeng said: "Miss Ji is very observant. I have secretly investigated these people. They are imperial merchants from Xijin. They came to Beili specifically to experience the local customs and buy some goods."
It's so old to run away. Purchasing from afar? Ji Qingwu's eyes were filled with confusion.
"But beware of changes. I have sent people to keep an eye on them." Duan Mingfeng also felt that this reason was untenable.
He continued: "These days, according to the secret reports, they just wandered around the streets and ate all the food shops in Lin'an. There was nothing special."
The last time Ji Qingwu met the man with gray-blue eyes, it was in a restaurant.
I hope she is overthinking.
Ji Qingwu said uneasily: "Before they leave Lin'an, please Sir Duan send more manpower to keep an eye on them."
Duan Mingfeng said: "Your Majesty The city secretary will be on guard, Miss Ji, don’t worry.”
At this time, Ji Qingwu, who was sitting facing the door, saw the figure shaking at the door curtain.
The voice of a woman from Qingyue sounded: "Come in." The door curtain was opened by a slender hand, and Mo Lingling walked in with tea. She placed the cups and saucers on the chicken wing wooden tray in Ji In front of Qingwu.
"Miss Ji, it's been very dry lately, please drink more water to moisten your throat."
Ji Qingwu looked at the special color of the water, sniffed it gently, and asked : "There are monk fruit and mint in it?"
Mo Lingling Said: "Exactly, Miss Ji's nose is so clever, and dandelion is added to it. This is the secret recipe that my sister who used to sing in the pavilion told me. It is the best way to maintain your voice."
Ji Qingwu He nodded and said: "Yes, Miss Mo is interested."
This was in her medical clinic, and Duan Mingfeng was a guest, so Ji Qingwu pushed the cup of tea in front of him to him first.
"Master Duan, please."
Mo Lingling stared at the cup and said quickly: "Duan Shisi usually talks less and doesn't waste his voice. He doesn't need to drink this."< br>
Duan Mingfeng didn't intend to drink it, but when he heard her words, his eyes froze. Instead, he took the white porcelain cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Ji Qingwu didn’t even have time to say, “Be careful when you burn your mouth.”
But Duan Mingfeng looked as usual, without even blinking, but his other hand under the table was clenched into a fist.
Mo Lingling's eyes widened and she said, "I remember that Duan Shisi doesn't like to eat things with mint."
He has hated mint since he was a child. It was amazing, on the contrary, she always liked it.
Duan Mingfeng glanced at her with a tense jaw, then looked away.
Mo Lingling also brought a lot of snacks, and the table in front of Ji Qingwu was full.
"Ms. Ji, I made these all by myself. I also added some nourishing medicinal materials. Please help me taste them."
The snacks in front of me are delicious and fragrant. Ji Qingwu She took a small sip and was slightly surprised. She didn't expect Mo Lingling to have such a talent. She really hired the right person.
After Ji Qingwu praised a few words, he said: "Put some in front of Mr. Duan."
The smile on Mo Lingling's face froze again, and she replied: "I remember "Master Duan doesn't like these snacks either."
Before she finished speaking, Duan Mingfeng stretched out his arm to take the nearest carrot cake and put it into his mouth.
There was confusion in Mo Lingling's eyes, which was nothing like him in her memory.
Duan Mingfeng was eating carrot cake in his mouth, but the way he chewed it seemed as if he was going to chew up the person in front of him and swallow it into his belly.
The atmosphere was both weird and somewhat familiar to Ji Qingwu.
Ji Qingwu cleared his throat, stood up and said, "It's still early, I have to go home and go to bed."
Mo Lingling was surprised by the inconsistency between these words. Said: "Miss Ji, are you going to bed so early?"
Ji Qingwu said: "What I mean is, go home and take a nap. You and Mr. Duan can use this refreshment together."
"Miss Ji, please don't."
Mo Ling Ling looked like he was about to cry, eager to follow Ji Qingwu.
Duan Mingfeng slapped the small plate in his hand on the table, and the porcelain plate immediately shattered into powder.
“What are you afraid of?”
Ji Qingwu: Didn’t Mr. Duan say you don’t need to ask?
Duan Mingfeng: Just ask casually, it’s useless if you don’t ask.
Ji Qingwu: Don’t you think this way of questioning makes her even more afraid?
Mo Lingling nodded crazily.
