Chapter 296: Saving Grace
"The old beggar is trying to give me something. Su Jingchen thought to himself.
In many film and television dramas, you will get a lot of good things if you save beggars, which makes Su Jingchen faintly look forward to it in his heart.
The old beggar slowly walked to Su Jingchen's side, always with a grateful and flattering expression on his face.
He finally walked in front of Su Jingchen, and the hand in his arms was completely taken out, but it was too dark, and he could only faintly see that he had a thing in his hand.
The clouds cleared, and the moon reappeared in the sky, a soft moonlight cast. At this moment, the old beggar's expression became extremely hideous, a cold light flashed in his hand, and a sharp dagger slammed into Su Jingchen's heart.
"Why? Su Jingchen looked at the old beggar on the ground and asked incomprehensibly.
Just now, the dagger in the old beggar's hand stabbed fiercely, and Su Jingchen didn't have time to react at all. I don't know if the old beggar is weak or guilty, the dagger slowed down a little at the moment when it was about to be inserted into Su Jingchen's heart.
At this moment, Su Jingchen's body suddenly shrank back, and at the same time, he used both hands to push the old beggar to the ground, and the dagger also fell.
Listening to Su Jingchen's words, the old beggar's eyes flashed with tears, and his face was full of guilt. He turned his head with great effort to look at a trash can in the darkness, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.
"Grandpa! A child of five or six years old ran out and shouted at the old beggar.
"Don't, don't come! Run!" cried the old beggar anxiously.
But the boy was so young that he seemed to be frightened by the old beggar's words, and stayed where he was, motionless.
The old beggar's eyes were full of panic, and he looked at Su Jingchen with pleading eyes, and kept kowtowing. Su Jingchen treated him, gave him money, and even saved his life, but the old beggar was not so excited.
Now, for the sake of a child, he was so nervous, which made Su Jingchen a little touched.
"Rest assured, the child is innocent and I will not hurt him. Su Jingchen said lightly.
"Thank you, thank you! The old beggar kowtowed to Su Jingchen several more times, then glanced at the child, picked up the dagger on the ground and inserted it into his lower abdomen.
Su Jingchen had the heart to stop it, but after all, he had an injury on his leg, and he suffered an internal injury from the man in black, so he was really powerless.
"If you have any other wishes, I will definitely do it for you. Su Jingchen walked up to the old beggar and asked.
The bit he inserted with the dagger happened to hurt his internal organs, and he couldn't live anymore.
The old beggar opened his mouth, but he no longer had the strength to speak, and his vitality was passing rapidly.
"...... child," he said with all his strength, looking in the direction of the child.
"Kid, I'll take care of it for you. After Su Jingchen said this, the old beggar slowly fell down and closed his eyes peacefully.
Burying the old beggar with complicated feelings, Su Jingchen suddenly felt a little sad. He didn't know what the old beggar was called, or where he came from. A big living person died on a cold winter night like this, if it weren't for Su Jingchen's presence, no one would care at all.
He could imagine that the man in black found the old beggar and threatened him to kill him. The man in black didn't know that with Su Jingchen's strength, the old beggar's chances of success were very small. But what does it matter? The life and death of a beggar is too insignificant for others.
"What's your name, where are your parents?" No matter what, Su Jingchen still hopes to find the relatives of this old beggar, at least set up a monument with a name and surname for him?
"I ...... I don't have a name, I don't have parents, my grandfather picked me up. Big brother, where is my grandfather gone, and when will he be back?"
"Your grandfather went to heaven and will come back when you grow up. Su Jingchen looked at the stars in the sky and said gently.
"And when will I grow up?"
"Soon. You don't have a name, so I'll give you one. From now on, you will be called Night Moon. Su Jingchen's voice sounded in the cold wind. From then on, there was a figure named Yeyue behind him.
Even Su Jingchen didn't expect that this child named Yeyue would actually grow into an overlord of the underground world in the future and become one of his most powerful backers.
Of course, that's all for later. Now for Gansu Jingchen, the most important thing is to participate in the Xingsu Gathering.
Xingsu is also the name of the Chinese medicine community.
It is rumored that there was a famous doctor named Dong Feng in ancient times. He is a skilled doctor and has a heart for the world. At that time, he lived in seclusion in the mountains, and many people went to seek medical treatment. He took pity on the suffering of the people, and never charged anyone for medical treatment, but only asked the sick to plant a few almond trees on the hillside.
After many years, the almond trees on the mountain grew into a forest, and there were apricots everywhere. Dong Feng also exchanged apricots for grain and distributed them to the poor people for free. Dong Feng's story has been widely circulated in later generations, and later generations have used "Xingsu" to refer to the group of Chinese medicine.
Dong Feng and the famous doctors Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo are also known as the "Three Divine Doctors of Jian'an". The descendants of these three famous doctors have also inherited the medical skills and morals of their ancestors, and have become the three major families of Chinese medicine. And Xingsuji is a traditional Chinese medicine event jointly organized by these three families.
Su Jingchen stayed in the Shuangmu Medical Center for three days, and the injuries on his body were almost better, but his foot injuries were difficult to heal, so he still walked with a little limp. Yeyue was young after all, and soon forgot the sorrow of the old beggar's death, and mingled with the people of the Shuangmu Medical Center.
Before dawn that day, Wen Yin brought three young people over to find Su Jingchen.
"Miss Wen, you're here so early. Wen Yin had been angry with Su Jingchen the night before, so Su Jingchen was also waiting at the door early.
"Pavilion Master Su, let me introduce to you, this is Dr. Yao's senior disciple Hu Qingshu. Wen Yin pointed to a tall and thin young man and said to Su Jingchen.
"Yao Zeng's apprentice?"
"How do you talk nicknamely? Is the name of the tutor something you can say casually? Hearing Su Jingchen mention the name of the master, Hu Qingshu said unhappily.
Su Jingchen didn't bother to bother with him, so he simply ignored him.
"These two, one is Dr. Yao's disciple Zhou Min, and the other is Senior Brother Hu's cousin Zhao Ruoruo. Wen Yin pointed to the two women beside Hu Qingshu and said.
Zhou Min was dressed in a red cotton jacket, tall and tall, with a high nose bridge, willow eyebrows, and thin lips, and looked like he was about twenty-four or five years old. Zhao Ruoruo was wearing a white feather uniform, short in height, and seemed a little nervous standing behind Hu Qingshu.
"Look up for a long time, look up for a long time. Su Jingchen arched his hand casually, which was regarded as a greeting.
"This man is really rude. It's obviously a person who comes to make up the numbers, and he really thinks of himself as a character. If it weren't for the number of people required by Xingsuji, just 4 of us would be enough to get the first place. "Zhou Min was born in a wealthy family, and studied under the famous Chinese medicine master Yao Zheng, and has always been arrogant. Seeing that Su Jingchen was so rude, he immediately muttered to his senior brother Hu Qingshu.
In the same way as Su Feng's previous temper, I am afraid that he would have already brushed his sleeves away. But Yi Tianfeng was still anxiously waiting for the Ice Spirit Grass to come back to save his life, although Su Jingchen was unhappy in his heart, he still chose to endure it.
"Pavilion Master Su, this time you are representing our Jinling Medical Pavilion in the competition. In order not to let others see the flaws, we will still call each other senior sister and brother in the future, no problem, right? Wen Yin saw that Su Jingchen was not angry, so he breathed a sigh of relief and asked.
"No problem, Wen ...... Masters. Su Jingchen responded.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's go. As soon as Wen Yin said this, several people walked towards the car.
"Wait a minute. At this moment, Mo Xiaolan hurriedly ran out with a duffel bag.
"Little Blue Girl, what are you doing here?" Su Jingchen wondered.
"Pavilion Master Su, I am also studying medicine, and I want to go too! Mo Xiaolan winked at Su Jingchen and said in a resolute tone.
Mo Xiaolan's joining was not opposed by Wen Yin. As a top student of the medical university, although her theory and practice are poor, she is not worse than the children of famous scholars such as Hu Qingshu compared to the foundation.
As for Hu Qingshu, he has always shown himself as a gentleman, and naturally welcomed Mo Xiaolan, a beautiful woman. Zhao Ruoruo is a weak girl, she has no opinions, and what others say is what she says. Zhou Min muttered a few words, but didn't say anything.
The place where the Xingsu Festival was held this time was in Lushan, JX Province, which is very far away from N City, so you can only choose to go by plane.
"Senior Brother Hu, it's time to board the plane, why haven't you been notified yet, you go and take a look." In the waiting hall, Wen Yinxiu frowned slightly and said to Hu Qingshu.
It didn't take long for Hu Qingshu to trot all the way back.
"Senior Sister Wen, the snow is too heavy today, and many flights have been grounded. I see, let's find a hotel for one night and wait until the snow stops tomorrow. Hu Qingshu said.
"That's all there is to it. Wen Yin nodded helplessly. There are unpredictable storms in the sky, and there is nothing you can do about this kind of weather.
Fortunately, there is a three-star Chinese classic hotel next to the airport, which is a few steps away.
Lying on the bed in the hotel, Su Jingchen turned to the side. So much has happened in the past few days, and every scene is flipped in his mind, flashing like a movie.
Su Jingchen chose to get up and prepared to go out for a walk. As soon as he went out, he saw a dark figure disappear around the corner. Curious, he hurriedly followed.
"Isn't this that Hu Qingshu?" After following for a while, Su Jingchen realized that this black shadow was not an outsider, but the apprentice of Yao Zheng that he saw during the day-Hu Qingshu.
Following Hu Qingshu all the way to turn left and right, then through a door, and then through a long corridor, Su Jingchen stopped.
"Isn't this the way to the lady's room?"
This Chinese-style hotel is different from ordinary hotels in that it is divided into three areas, namely the men's area, the women's area and the couple's area. Su Jingchen and Hu Qingshu naturally lived in the men's guest area, while the others lived in the women's guest area.
Compared with the men's area, the architectural style here is obviously more elegant, revealing a classical soft beauty everywhere.
Because of the separation of men and women, many female guests are not as conservative as usual, and their willingness to marry has also decreased greatly. After knowing that it was the women's guest area, Su Jingchen wanted to turn around and leave, but when he thought that Mo Xiaolan was also here, he was really afraid that Hu Qingshu would do something bad.
Maybe it's because the price is too expensive, there aren't many guests here, Su Jingchen and Hu Qingshu have been walking for a long time, and they haven't met anyone else. Suddenly, Hu Qingshu stopped in front of a window. Su Jingchen hurriedly stabilized his body and hid behind a big drum, monitoring Hu Qingshu's movements.
Under the light, Hu Qingshu's face was flushed, with a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked very excited. He dipped his finger in his saliva and poked the window paper with ease. Then he took out a thin tube from his bosom and put it into the hole he had just made.
He was about to blow when he felt a tap on the back.
"Brother Hu, I'm afraid it's not honorable for you to do this, right? Su Jingchen said with a smile.
"Dog take a mouse, meddle, get out of me! Otherwise, the master will be unkind to you." After Hu Qingshu saw Su Jingchen, he was startled at first, and then became furious
Come.
"I'm going to see how you're being unkind to me. Su Jingchen clasped his hands and said with a look of disdain.
Hu Qingshu gritted his teeth, his heart was ruthless, and he punched Su Jingchen's face.
