Chapter 137: Death is short

After more than five years in Qingbai Country, Xiao Nuan heard of these trivial and down-to-earth folk customs for the first time: "Although it sounds quite embarrassing, don't you think it's a pity that you give up your studies and give up your original path for this reason?"

Xiao Qi sneered twice: "When I first came, my grandfather didn't agree and drove me away every day." I made food for him every day, and he reluctantly let me stay.

But I often go down to the mountains to get in touch with the outside world, and I still feel like I prefer to stay in the mountains. So, I don't want to. Sister Xiao, look how happy I am now!"

She laughed, revealing a neat row of white teeth.

Xiao Nuan couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth: "Very good! Decisive and decisive, it seems to be rebellious, but she is a good girl with ideas! However, I think you are still so young, if you keep spending time here, it is still a pity, it is better to go outside and break through." You don't have to stay in Qingbai, you can choose other countries where the style system is suitable, and take a look at it. ”

"Really?" Xiao Qi blinked: "Sister Xiao, can you tell me about country Z?"

Xiao Nuan looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and her face was proud: "Country Z is an open and tolerant country, and we welcome all friends with good intentions." Lots of land, lots of food, and a lot of food......"

With Xiao Nuan's eloquent introduction, countless little stars appeared in Xiao Qi's eyes.

Especially when Xiao Nuan talked about food, she couldn't stop swallowing: "Sister Xiao, can you take me with you when you go back to country Z in the future?"

Xiao Nuan smiled lightly, and couldn't help but nod the tip of her delicate nose: "Little gluttonous cat." Of course, if I can go back, I will definitely take you to eat for three days and three nights. ”

"Great, long live Sister Xiao!"

Xiaoqi was a child, and excitedly gave Xiao Nuan a bear hug: "Sister Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely beg my grandfather to let him cure Mr. Huo." ”

Xiao Nuan nodded.

Xiao Qi suddenly lowered his head and became shy, and said in a low voice: "Sister Xiao, are the people over there in country Z handsome? Is there anyone as handsome as His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

Xiao Nuan was stunned, and then pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Silly girl, there will be some differences in the facial features of people everywhere, and the style is completely different." ”

Xiao Qi tilted his head and thought for a while: "It's too." For example, Mr. Huo, even if he is now poisoned by Gu poison and has been tortured to the point that he is a little out of shape, it can still be seen that he is very handsome and attractive. If Grandpa cures his Gu poison, he will be able to regain his original appearance, and he will definitely be even more handsome. ”

"He, that's already the least handsome one in our country Z. Lu Haoran lazily walked out of the door and interjected.

"Really?" Xiao Qi didn't mind his uninvited coming, but became more and more curious: "The least handsome is like this, what does the most handsome look like?"

Lu Haoran coughed lightly twice, and shook his hair shamelessly: "What do you say?"

Xiao Qi didn't even look at him, he held his hands on his cheeks, and said to the moon with a face: "Wow, that must be very handsome, handsome, handsome!"

Hey, can't you see I'm talking about myself?

Lu Haoran shouted inwardly and rolled his eyes in frustration.

Xiao Nuan pursed her lips and laughed lowly.

Suddenly, a loud "bang" came from the room.

Xiao Nuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled out his legs and rushed into the room.

In the room, Huo Liting fell to the ground, curled up tightly, and bowed himself into a shrimp.

The bright moonlight poured in through the hollow wooden window, illuminating his pale, transparent skin and bruised and swollen veins.

He folded his arms and frowned in pain, trying to suppress the bloodlust and brutality that was rampaging through his body.

Xiao Nuan looked at him, and her eyes were unconsciously red.

"It's okay, I'm here. I'll help you up!"

She forcibly suppressed the sourness in her heart and stepped forward, Huo Liting nervously raised her hand to stop: "Don't, don't come here!"

His voice was hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out with all his might.

Xiao Nuan's heart seemed to have been torn open by someone, and cold wind poured into it.

The others heard the sound and ran in as well.

The small room became cramped in an instant.

Huo Liting's eyes swept over everyone coldly, and a piercing scarlet surged in his deep eyes.

A voice kept shouting in my head: Kill them, kill them, kill them......

The momentum on his body slowly changed from weak to fierce, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.

Xiao Nuan hurriedly took a step forward and bravely placed himself in his sight.

Huo Liting's pupils shrank.

He could recognize her, and he could only recognize her.

He knew that she was in the place and said that could not hurt.

Huo Liting clenched his back molars hard, trying his best to suppress the impulse in his chest.

He fell to the ground, his shoulders trembling incessantly, as if he was fighting a beast with a strong reaction of consciousness and body.

Xiao Nuan had tears in his eyes and gently encouraged: "Very good, Ah Ting, you have done a good job!

Lu Haoran was distressed and anxious, and pulled the old man beside him and said, "Senior Gu God, what's wrong with him, what's wrong with him?

The old man stroked his beard and said calmly: "Normal." I planted a new Gu worm in his body. There are too many insects, so naturally there will be a fight, and he will naturally suffer some crimes. ”

"What?" Lu Haoran's eyes widened like copper bells, and he looked at Huo Liting in disbelief, and then at the old man: "He's like this, you still give him Gu?

He was furious, grabbed the old man's hand and unconsciously tightened his strength.

The old man was in pain, and turned his head sideways to sneer at Lu Haoran: "Yes, I just want his life." If you don't want him to die, you guys get out of here, don't bother me!"

When the words fell, he shook off Lu Haoran, turned around and left.

Lu Haoran was stunned by the yelling, and he reacted and was about to chase: "What kind of Gu god are you......

"Mr. Lu, grandpa didn't want to harm him, grandpa was just fighting poison with poison. Xiao Qi hurriedly stopped Lu Haoran and explained: "Mr. Huo's current reaction is within the normal range, you don't have to worry too much, grandpa knows it!"

Lu Haoran was about to speak, when he heard Huo Liting suddenly burst into a loud shout, and the whole person stood up from the ground straight like a zombie.

He tugged at his hair in pain and tossed around the room, exuding a chilling tyranny all over his body.

Xiao Nuan wanted to step forward, but was dragged back by Xiaohe Lao: "Madam, no." ”

A "madam" was like the last straw that crushed the camel, and Huo Liting's whole person was like being ignited and exploded in an instant.

He rushed towards everyone with a hideous face, and swung his fist at Xiao He Lao.

The sharp fist style came with the strength of a thousand catties, and if it was forced, the punch would definitely hurt the muscles and bones.

Xiao Nuan's eyes were quick, and he pulled Xiao Helao to the side and retreated half a step.

The bruised fist rubbed the roots of Xiaohe's ears and slammed them against the wall.

Bang –

The wooden wall was directly pierced by Huo Liting, revealing a circular hole.

His fist stretched out straight and straight like that.

The old man was walking outside the wall, looking at the outstretched fist and the bruised veins that bulged out of the fist.

The blood vessels trembled abruptly in the meridians, all traces of Gu worms swimming.

His brow furrowed imperceptibly, and he turned and quickened his pace.

Sharp sawdust pierced the back of Huo Liting's hand, scraping several bloody wounds into his already white and almost transparent skin.

Xiao Nuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

She pushed Xiaohe Lao away and rushed over: "Huo Liting......"

The stinging pain came from his hand, and the red and bright blood reflected the snow-white skin, which was strange and ghostly.

Huo Liting's excited emotions suddenly calmed down.

He stared blankly at the blood on his hand and mechanically withdrew his hand from the hole.

Xiao Nuan's eyes only had the blood flowing out of him, and his mind was full of experts who said that the result of the NO.1 attack was that his whole body burst and died, and he couldn't help but bump into Huo Liting's straight elbow.

"Ouch!"

She was caught off guard, and with a soft snort, the whole person staggered backwards.

"Xiao Nuan!"

Huo Liting turned around when he heard the sound, and his eyes were clear for a moment.

He hurriedly reached out to pull her, but under his feet stepped on a piece of wood that had just been splashed out, and the whole person was crooked, but he fell towards Xiao Nuan.

Lu Haoran Xiaoran and the others were all frightened away just now because of Huo Liting's actions, and it was too late to help at this moment, so they could only watch the two of them fall to the ground one by one.

"Be careful!"

At the critical moment, Huo Liting took Xiao Nuan's hand with one hand and took her into his arms, passed through her black hair with the other hand, and firmly supported the back of her head, making a 180-degree rotation.

Huo Liting's body fell heavily on the ground, Xiao Nuan fell on his solid chest, and the soft red lips were just imprinted on his thin lip flap.

In an instant, time seemed to stop.

Everything around them fell silent.

Huo Liting looked at Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Nuan also looked at Huo Liting in a daze.

This is their future third princess!

Xiaohe Lao reacted and wanted to step forward to pull them away, but as soon as he lifted his foot, he was dragged out by Lu Haoran covering his mouth.

Xiao Qi's cheeks flushed, and while snickering, he followed Lu Haoran and retreated, intimately covering the door for them.

The clarity in Huo Liting's eyes disappeared, and he only looked at Xiao Nuan in a daze for a few seconds, then closed his eyes and pressed the back of her head to deepen this unexpected kiss.

His body relaxed, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Xiao Nuan wanted to push him away and get up, but he was afraid of interrupting his change for the better, so he only held his breath and quietly twisted a silver needle on his fingertips.

The cold silver needle pierced the air and stabbed at the back of Huo Liting's head.

Just as the silver needle was about to touch the skin, Huo Liting suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed her slender wrist.

"Little liar, trying to sneak up on me again?"

He spoke, with a faint smile in his tone.

The red light in the deep eyes faded, and it was a clear and affectionate one.

Memories came flooding in, Xiao Nuan only felt a sour nose, and tears fell down in large pieces: "Are you okay?

She leaned on his chest, holding his face and looking left and right.

Huo Liting grabbed her hand and gave a shallow kiss to the back of her hand: "Just now I felt that a voice in my head kept shouting, and it seemed that something in my body was about to swell and burst, and it was much better after that punch." ”

"Great, great. Xiao Nuan leaned over excitedly and hugged him hard.

The sudden enthusiasm and warmth, Huo Liting was stunned.

This is the first time that she took the initiative to get close to him, not forced, no compromise, just simple joy, close!

The corners of Huo Liting's mouth raised a smile, and he was about to reach out to hug her back to extend the warmth, but Xiao Nuan had already let go, got up, and stretched out his hand to him: "Get up." ”

Huo Liting was disappointed in his heart, and quietly put his hand into her hand with a face on his face.

The moment he stood up, he used a mischievous force to pull her into his arms at once.

"Ahh

"You ......"

Xiao Nuan raised his eyes and glared at him, just in response to the evil smile of his successful plan, and quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth.

The smile on the corner of Huo Liting's lips deepened, and his hoarse voice was full of bewitchment: "Don't bully you!" These days, I have never been so sober as at this moment. I just thought, hug you well. ”

Xiao Nuan's cheeks were hot, and he raised his hand to push him away.

Huo Liting was not in a hurry, he only held her hand and did not let go, and the two of them pulled and dragged to the window unconsciously.

Xiao Nuan had no way to escape, Huo Liting smiled gently, wrapped his arms around her slender waist from behind, and pressed his chin against her soft hair.

A faint aroma of herbs lingers on the tip of the nose, a lost sense of completeness and serenity.

In the cold moon and clear light, Huo Liting closed his eyes with satisfaction.

......

"Grandpa, what the hell was going on just now?"

Xiao Qi knocked lightly on the door of the laboratory, and his simple little face was worried.

In the room, the old man stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his white and chubby face full of exhaustion.

He stroked his beard and wrote lightly: "A temporary release can make him a little more comfortable." ”

"Isn't that the same as returning to the light, but the result is still not curable?" Xiao Qi frowned.

The old man nodded lightly: "It could have been cured, but I am short of two medicinal herbs now." Unless they are found, the gods will not be able to save them. ”

Xiao Qi's eyes lit up, and he said eagerly: "What medicinal herbs?

The old man sighed helplessly: "It's useless." I haven't seen it all over again at this age, and I've only seen two names in books. Where to find it?"

As he spoke, he removed an old ancient book from the improvised bookshelf on his desk.

Xiao Qi looked at him flipping through it, and his eyebrows drooped: "Don't you even have a picture?"

Lu Haoran hid outside the door, he could hear and see, so he simply came in cheekily and interjected: "Senior Gu God, what kind of medicinal herbs are so amazing?

The old man raised his eyes and gave him a cold look: "Get out!"

Lu Haoran touched his cheeky skin, licked his face and smiled: "Senior Gu God, don't be so stingy! It's my fault, it's my fault, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!"

He bowed to the old man with a hippie smile and continued: "I'm abroad, and I specialize in poison, although I don't know about your Gu poison, but I have the same path, you might as well show me, in case I'm lucky enough to see it, is it a human life? Even if I really don't know it, you can let me see it for a long time? Please, senior!"

"Hmph!" the old man snorted arrogantly and turned his head away.

Xiao Qi hurriedly took the book from the old man's hand and took it over to read it with Lu Haoran.

On the yellowed title page, a medicinal herb is called the Bird of the Sky, and a medicinal herb is called the Lotus of the Earth, there is no picture and no truth, only two lines of dry annotations: flat nature, sweet taste, can detoxify all kinds of poisons, and the fusion with other medicines can amplify the original effect, and has the effect of prolonging life.

Lu Haoran flipped through the title page and looked at it, but there was indeed no description of the appearance: "How can I find this? I haven't even heard of these two names." ”

The old man sneered contemptuously: "Heh, I haven't even seen it, but I've heard it mentioned, let alone you, a hairy boy!"

Lu Haoran tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Gu God senior, do you think this thing really exists, it can't be something in a legend, right?"

"Impossible!" the old man said categorically: "Although I haven't seen it, I have heard my master say that my master was fortunate enough to get it, and he also used it to treat diseases and save people." It's just a pity that I didn't leave a record, and I don't know where to look for it now. ”

Xiao Qi's face was full of regret.

Lu Haoran didn't give up: "Is there any other medicine that can replace it?" I see the effect of this thing, it is probably a high-grade tonic!"

"What do you know!" The old man's face was full of disgust: "These two herbs are currently the fastest effective and the highest cure rate." I can afford it, do you think your friend can afford it? His current sobriety is only temporary, and the more sober he is now, the more painful he will be in the future. ”

Thinking of Huo Liting's appearance, Lu Haoran was anxious and painful: "What do you mean by this? Are you saying that Ah Ting will go crazy?"

"If you can't find a cure, the worst scenario may be. ”

Xiao Qi pursed his lips and explained: "Mr. Huo seems to be awake now, but the next episodes will be more and more serious each time, and the interval will be shorter and shorter. This time he just wanted to hurt someone, and next time he might hurt himself. In short, when this Gu poison attacked, he couldn't control himself at all, and in the end he would slowly become like a beast, until the oil ran out and the lamp dried up, and he died violently. ”

Xiao Qi's voice was weak, but Lu Haoran still felt like a thousand catties of boulders were pressing.

His figure shook, and it was not easy to stabilize his emotions, and he said in a trembling voice: "Then, how much time do you have left?"

"It's three months if it's slow, and it's a month if it's fast. "The old man is crisp.

Lu Haoran's fists hanging by his side clenched, he took a deep breath, forced out a smile and patted the horse: "Senior, you are a Gu God! Can that be an ordinary person? You see that you have a fairy wind and bones, crane hair and a childish face, that is definitely not comparable to ordinary doctors." With your help, with your wonderful hands to rejuvenate, Ah Ting's life can be absolutely saved! In this way, senior, we will not disturb you, you hurry up and take advantage of the quiet around, and then think about it, what alternative medicine is there, give Ah Ting to use it first, please, please. ”

Employ people facing forward, not people facing backwards.

The old man has read countless people, and he has already seen through Lu Haoran's little trick.

He rolled his eyes at him and walked out of the lab with a shake of his hand.

Lu Haoran glanced at the surrounding bottles and cans, all kinds of medicinal materials, and said anxiously: "Old man, where are you going? Shouldn't the medicine be here?"

"Sleep!"

The old man coldly put down the two words, and didn't even look back.

"Mr. Lu, don't worry, grandpa's face is cold and hot, he will definitely find another way. Xiao Qi comforted gently.

Lu Haoran rubbed his hands anxiously: "Don't worry, don't worry, Ah Ting is my best friend, how can I not be in a hurry?"

He let out a long sigh and patted Xiaoqi on the shoulder: "Thank you, thank you for always helping us like this, thank you!"

As he spoke, he shuffled his heavy footsteps and turned around and walked out of the laboratory.

Xiao Qi looked at his shoulder, which still had residual warmth, and then at Lu Haoran's back, his cheeks flushed slightly.

......

Outside Huo Liting's room, Lu Haoran looked at the men and women standing in front of the window through the crack in the open door, and his eyes couldn't help but flush.

Talented and beautiful, a match made in heaven.

This is his best brother and the woman his brother loves the most!

They finally managed to get together after a long time, so couldn't they just let them be together a little longer?

Huo Liting pressed against the chin above Xiao Nuan's head, slowly sliding down, and his body softened unconsciously.

Xiao Nuan's hand holding his forearm added two points of strength, and said lightly: "What's wrong?"

Huo Liting reluctantly pressed against her neck, and his tone was soft: "It seems that I'm a little tired." ”

The meaning of coquettishness is about to come out.

Xiao Nuan pursed her lips and smiled: "I'll help you to the bed to rest." ”

She turned and helped him to the bed.

Huo Liting was indeed tired, his eyelids kept drooping downward, so he could only let her pull him, and muttered, "You accompany me to the bed to rest." ”

He said unconscious words like a child, but Xiao Nuan listened to it with a red face.

She snorted secretly, helped him lie down on the bed, and tucked the corners of the quilt for him.

Huo Liting tugged at her hand and didn't let her leave.

But he was so tired that he fell asleep in a few seconds.

It was rare to see him as gentle and innocent as a child, Xiao Nuan's gaze softened and softened, and he brushed his sideburns for him, before turning around and going out lightly.

As soon as she went out, she saw Lu Haoran standing in the yard.

His shoulders sank a little, and there was an indescribable loneliness all over his body.

Xiao Nuan walked over and said lightly: "Mr. Lu, what's wrong?"

Lu Haoran was taken aback, quickly wiped his tears, and said vaguely: "No, it's nothing." ”

Xiao Nuan turned to him, looked at his red eyes, and said in an unconsciously aggravated tone: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's really nothing! It's just that I was careless just now, and the wind lost my eyes. Lu Haoran sneered and changed the topic: "Where is Ah Ting?

Xiao Nuan didn't answer, and looked at him coldly with his arms folded.

Lu Haoran swallowed his saliva weakly.

Although he was chattering, he really couldn't say those words.

He can't say your husband is dying!

Seeing Xiao Qi coming out of the door, Lu Haoran immediately felt pardoned: "You ask her!"

After the words fell, he hurriedly bypassed them and fled back to the room.

Xiao Qi flipped through the old man's ancient book, raised his head when he heard the sound, and met Xiao Nuan's puzzled eyes, and there was no way to avoid it, so he had to talk about it.

"Sister Xiao, that's the way it is, unless you find these two flavored medicines, Mr. Huo will ......"

The latter words, needless to say, everyone understands.

Xiao Nuan looked at the simple few lines of description through the moonlight, her eyes dimmed little by little, and her whole heart felt like falling to the bottom.

Not to mention Chinese medicine laymen like Lu Haoran and Xiao Qi, even she, the divine doctor Living Yama, has never seen these two medicinal herbs......
