   Chapter 312 Footprints

  Shao Mingyuan handed the bag to Qiao Zhao: "It's Shixi who asked me to bring you some food."

  Qiao Zhao took it and opened it in front of Shao Mingyuan. There were several packets of old-fashioned plain pastries and a cantaloupe.

  Cantaloupe is golden yellow and has a sweet fragrance.

   Qiao Zhao didn't know what to say for a while.

   "Xi Xi has a few more words for me to tell Miss Li." Shao Mingyuan sensed that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and said hurriedly.

   "What does Big Brother Chi have to say?" Qiao Zhao asked calmly.

   "He said—" Shao Mingyuan looked at the girl's black Zhanzhan eyes and hesitated, "If you want to take care of your health, he will work hard and marry you in an open and honest way."

  Qiao Zhao's face turned cold.

   Marry her openly? So does she want to be touched and thank the "matchmaker" who spread the word?

   The girl's cold eyes made the young general feel a little at a loss.

   He just brought a message - he didn't mean to match them up, nor did he mean to obstruct them. Girls like Miss Li have their own ideas in their hearts and shouldn't be disturbed by foreign objects.

   But why is Miss Li angry again?

   "General Shao, take off your clothes. I'll finish giving you acupuncture earlier. I'm going back to the nunnery."

   "Uh." Shao Mingyuan raised his hand to untie his belt.

   Someone is obviously used to taking off clothes.

   Qiao Zhao raised his eyebrows.

   You didn't realize your mistake at all? Don't he feel ashamed to take the matchmaker's job as a general with a lot of troops in his hand?

  Qiao Zhao couldn't help thinking of the night before.

   The man in front of her had used her as a quilt all night, and she was about to freeze into ice cubes. Now he told her that other men should try to marry her? And happy to see it happen?

  The more she thought about it, the more annoyed Miss Qiao became. She stretched out her index finger and poked someone's abdominal muscles, and said coolly, "What medicine did General Shao use to remove scars? It's getting better here."

   Shao Mingyuan's face turned red into ripe shrimp.

  Qiao Zhao glanced at him lightly, without showing any sympathy, while piercing the silver needle into his chest, he said coldly: "General Shao is too busy to take care of himself, so it's better not to mind your own business in the future."

   Shao Mingyuan opened his mouth, but did not dare to explain.

   He didn't, he just spread a word!

   But today, Miss Li looked terrible. If he explained, what if she continued to poke him?

  The young general who had this realization kept his mouth shut until Qiao Zhao put away the silver needle, but he still did not say a word.

  Qiao Zhao saw him dressing silently and asked, "Is there any news about Ice Green and Morning Light?"

   "Not yet, I have sent someone to look for them." Seeing Qiao Zhao asking about the business, Shao Mingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "Are Miss Li's feet better?"

   "I added some medicinal hot compresses to soak my feet. The swelling has subsided, and I can move freely soon. At that time, I don't have to trouble the masters of Shuying An to carry me down."

   "It's all because of the need to give her acupuncture that she is so troublesome for Miss Li."

   "General Shao saved my life, so don't say such polite words, I'm going back to Shuying Nunnery."

   Shao Mingyuan took out something from his sleeve and handed it to Qiao Zhao: "Miss Li, put this away."

   "What is this?" Qiao Zhao looked at what was in Shao Mingyuan's hands.

   It was a small object that was no more than three inches long. It looked like jade but not jade, like bone but not bone. I couldn’t tell what material it was, and it had small round holes on it.

  Rao is Qiao Zhao who is well-informed and does not recognize what it is.

Shao Mingyuan explained: "This is called the bone flute. It is made of the throat bone of a wild beast in the north. The flute has a short sound and strong penetrating power. Miss Li should take this with you. Now that the mountain road is cut off, your legs and feet are inconvenient. In case of any situation, I will blow it so that I can hear the distance between Ying An and Dafu Temple."

  Qiao Zhao held the small bone flute and felt cool as jade, but said in his mouth: "Even if there is really something going on, it would be inconvenient for General Shao to hear it. Shuyingan does not allow laymen to approach."

  Shao Mingyuan said with a serious face: "Rules are dead, people are alive, Miss Li just put it away."

   "Okay, I accept it, thank you General Shao."

  Qiao Zhao, who returned to Shuying Nunnery, rubbed the bone flute given by Shao Mingyuan and said to himself: That person is very careful, but this flute should not be used.

  The mountain was clean and time passed slowly like flowing water for a few days. Qiao Zhao was able to go to Dafu Temple on his own to give Shao Mingyuan acupuncture to expel poison.

   On this day, Qiao Zhao was about to go back after giving Shao Mingyuan acupuncture. Xiao Xuanjing carried a rabbit from nowhere: "Donor, this rabbit's leg is bleeding, can you teach me how to bandage it?"

   "Okay." Wild herbs can be seen everywhere in the mountains. Qiao Zhao led Xuanjing to pick up a handful of hemostatics, and taught him to mash it and apply it to the rabbit's wound, wrap it up with a handkerchief, and tie a beautiful bow.

   "Okay, let's change it together tomorrow."

  Xuanjing nodded again and again: "Okay, the benefactor saved the rabbit's life, the merit is immeasurable."

  Qiao Zhao couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and pinched Xuanjing's face: "Then I should thank this rabbit."

   "Female benefactor, the little monk will send you back to Shuying Nunnery."

   "No, the rabbit is injured, doesn't the little master want to take care of it, I'll just go back by myself."

   "Then do you know the way?" Xuanjing asked worriedly.

  Qiao Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Of course I know, isn't there only one way from Dafu Temple to Shuying Temple?"

"No, I'll tell you quietly, the benefactor, there is actually a road, but that road will go far, and there is a bridge to cross, and that bridge was broken a long time ago, even longer than when I was born. Early, so over time, no one remembers."

   "How did the little master know that?"

   Xuanjing blushed: "Once I got lost, I found out. The little monk was afraid that you would get lost, so I told you."

   "Don't worry, little master, I will walk along the way we go back and forth every day, and I will never get lost."

   Xuanjing stood up, holding the rabbit in one hand, and patted the dust on the monk's robe with the other: "The little monk can rest assured. Lady benefactor, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

  Qiao Zhao said goodbye to the little novice and then set foot on the mountain road to return to Shuying Nunnery.

  Shuying Nunnery is higher than Dafu Temple, but occupies a much smaller area. The entire nunnery is hidden among lush flowers and trees.

   This road was already very familiar to Qiao Zhao, she walked lightly to the door of the nunnery, pushed open the door and entered.

   She had lunch at Dafu Temple today, and accompanied Xuanjing to pick herbs. She came back later than usual.

It was quiet in the nunnery. At this time, the masters in the nunnery should have a lunch break, but Qiao Zhao felt that something was not right the more he walked in, as if he had become a prey, being watched by a patient hunter. in a good trap.

   Her footsteps gradually slowed down, her eyes swept her sides, and she suddenly caught a glimpse of a footprint beside the medicine garden.

   Those are the footprints of a man!

  Qiao Zhao turned around suddenly.
