Heavy rain in the middle of the night washed the sky more pure, the sky was bright, Liancheng was lively and prosperous, the streets were full of people, the shops were open, such as the shopkeeper of "Honglin Wan" took out the abacus and account book early, and was busy laying out the goods; the little two of the "Wanjiang Building" wiped the tables and stools over and over again; several sturdy men from the "Ruyi Gambling House" pulled people in the streets; not far from the "Yingchun Pavilion", people walked out of the pavilion with a haggard face and vain steps; those who set up stalls, those who rushed to the market, those who did work, those who went out of the house, those who went to the family, The hunters in the mountains entered the city early with their prey on ropes and sold them in the market in the west of the city; seven or eight stone bricklayers were eating, drinking, laughing and scolding at the pretty widow's bun shop; on the stone bridge, a lean man in his thirties, carrying the pastries of "Lan Kwai Fong" in his hand, walked slowly, and behind him was a girl of about ten years old, wearing white cotton clothes, two small pigtails, and a handsome little face, walking towards the Tang family with a medicine box on his back.

The Tang family was robbed last night, burned most of the ancestral hall, fought with four or five Jianghu people for half a night, and injured several people;

Han Dong is a member of the Han family, a martial arts wizard, he has entered the martial arts master at the age of eighteen, and is expected to enter the country before the age of thirty;

Crossing the stone bridge, turning east through the 'Wanbao Tower', and walking 500 meters to the east of the city, the Tang Mansion appeared in front of the two people.

The old housekeeper was already waiting in front of the door, and when he saw the two of them coming, he hurriedly greeted him and said, "Young Master Han, Miss Cai'er, you are here." After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and wanted to take Han Cai'er's medicine box, Han Dong hurriedly took the old housekeeper's hand and said: "Uncle Thirteen, you are an elder, it is no longer appropriate for you to wait for you, there is no need to be like this, there is no need to be like this." After speaking, he handed over the pastries in his hand and said, "I bought some pastries when I passed by Lan Kwai Fong, and Uncle Thirteen tasted them." ”

In his early years, the old housekeeper made a name for himself with his 'Thirteen Palms of Death', and the people of the rivers and lakes called him thirteen, and thirteen became his name. Seven years ago, the Tang family suffered, the old housekeeper desperately protected each other, although he picked up a life, but lost an arm, the Tang family remembered his loyalty, so he gave the surname Tang and entered the Tang family tree, which is considered the Tang family.

The old housekeeper said a few polite words, took the pastry, led the two through the outer courtyard, and passed a few corridor steps, Han Cai'er secretly looked at the flowers that bloomed in the 'Yu Yuanchun', and then passed two large pools, and came to the guest hall of the Tang Mansion; the hall was destroyed by a catastrophe seven years ago, which was rebuilt later, and it was built majestic, spacious and generous; bluestone paved the floor, and white stone made the wall; there was a row of mahogany quaint chairs on the side of the wall, and the four big characters of 'Heaven and Earth Sect God' were written on the front wall, and there were couplets written on both sides, and the left couplet was written. The avenue of heaven and earth nourishes all things', and the right couplet reads 'Zongshen benevolence and virtue are full of people'. The font is upright and solemn. There was a red sandalwood square table with chairs on both sides, and Tang Jingxiong sat on the chair on the right.

Tang Jingxiong sat upright, with an eyepatch on his left eye and his right eye closed, as if he was thinking about something, and a long centipede-like sword mark on his face seemed to divide the whole face into two halves, looking terrifying and fierce.

Han Dong hurriedly stepped forward and called softly, "Uncle Tang!"

Hearing the movement, Tang Jingxiong opened his right eye, saw the three of them, and said, "Han Dong is here, there were some things that don't know whether to live or die last night, and a few of them were injured, please take a look." After speaking, he said to the old housekeeper: "Thirteen, you take Han Dong directly to the house, arrange lunch, and I will have two drinks with Han Dong then." ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly said "yes", and was about to lead Han Dong's father and daughter out, when Han Cai'er suddenly asked, "Grandpa Tang, does your family really have the Immortal Sutra?"

Han Dong looked surprised, and instantly regained his composure, without reproaching.

Tang Jingxiong looked at Han Cai'er with one eye, and his majesty was undoubtedly gone, and when he saw that Han Cai'er's eyes were pure and she was a little girl, he shook his head and said: "Where did the immortals come from in the world, how have the people in the world ever seen immortals, they are all used by warlocks to deceive the world, Cai'er, you can't think nonsense." ”

Han Cai'er opened her mouth, as if to refute, and when she saw her father looking at her, she closed her mouth sensibly.

The three of them walked out of the main hall, and when they passed by the 'Imperial Pond Garden', Han Cai'er stopped again, looked at the rockery in the garden pool a little strangely, and thought about it, and saw that the old housekeeper looked at him, and hurriedly ran two steps to keep up. As soon as he arrived at the house, he saw Tang Xingjun coming over in a hurry, and when he saw the three of them, he called Uncle Thirteen, and said to Han Dong: "Brother Dong, Xiaobai is very sick, go and see Xiaobai first." ”

Han Dong nodded, and followed Tang Xingjun into the hut where Tang Bai lived alone.

In a daze, Tang Bai saw a beautiful girl walking towards him, took a closer look, recognized Han Caier, and seemed to return to two years ago, Tang Bai went to Han's house with Tang Xingjun to see Han Cai's childhood for the first time; When the two looked at each other at that time, Tang Bai felt naked, as if no secret could be hidden in Han Caier's eyes. At that time, Tang Bai didn't dare to look at each other and withdrew his gaze, but Han Caier came over and said to Tang Bai: "The world in your eyes is very strange. This vague sentence caused a huge wave in Tang Bai's heart, and he couldn't be sure if Han Cai'er had seen through his soul.

Seeing Han Cai'er again, she was still immature, but her temperament was more cold, she looked into the house, and suddenly said: "There is a smell of blood in this house, and people died here last night." ”

Tang Bai was a little frightened, and cold sweat continued to break out on his forehead.

Tang Xingjun shook his head with a smile, Han Dong glanced at Tang Bai meaningfully, only he understood that his daughter almost died when she was born, and her eyes could see something that ordinary people couldn't see.

After Han Cai'er finished speaking, she didn't speak again, but took out the pulse pillow and looked at Tang Bai quietly.

Tang Bai took a deep breath, calmed down a little, cheered up, put his right hand on the pulse pillow, and said, "Your eyes are very strange. ”

Han Cai'er closed her eyes, and only after half a sound did she speak: "The heart is exhausted, and the cold rain is drenched, causing the wind and evil to enter the body, the yin is prosperous and the yang is declining, the yang is not overwhelmed by the yin, the qi of the five internal organs is not balanced, the nine orifices are not connected, the blood and qi are not smooth, and the inside and outside are not balanced." After speaking, he saw that there was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the window table, walked over, studied the ink and laid the paper, the pen walked the dragon and snake, waited for the ink to dry slightly, and handed it to Tang Xingjun and said: "Uncle Tang, take the medicine according to the prescription, fry three bowls into one bowl, one in the morning and one in the evening, Tang Bai can be cured of this illness in three days." ”

Tang Xingjun took the prescription, glanced at Han Dong, and said, "Brother Dong, you can take a look." ”

Han Dong shook his head and said with a smile: "Xingjun, don't worry, Cai'er's medical skills are not weaker than mine." ”

Tang Xingjun was still a little hesitant, but finally called Xiao Ning, told her to go to the "Tongrentang" to grab medicine according to the prescription, and told Tang Bai to rest well.

After a few people left, Tang Bai hurriedly got up from the bed, opened the wardrobe, took out the hidden package inside, and took out the dagger from the small red box, before returning to the bed, hiding the package in the quilt, but holding the dagger tightly in his hand, closing his eyes and pretending to sleep.

After half a ring, the door suddenly opened, Han Caier ran back, saw Tang Bai fall asleep, carefully walked to the wardrobe, opened it gently, looked for it, closed the wardrobe again, looked around the house, did not find what he needed, couldn't help but look at Tang Bai on the bed, hesitated for a while, had an extra silver needle in his hand, and slowly walked towards the bed.

Tang Bai was not asleep, as soon as the door rang, his eyes narrowed into a small slit, and when he saw that Han Cai'er really turned back, turning over his clothes and cabinets, he understood that his secret was seen through by this girl. Seeing Han Cai'er getting closer and closer to the bed, the dagger in his hand became tighter and tighter.

With the experience of killing someone, the killing intent in his heart seemed to be much stronger. This is how people's hearts change, without the restraint of morality, once the darkness awakens, it spreads like a spark.

Just as Tang Bai was about to make a move, a voice suddenly sounded, saying, "Hey, Cai'er, you haven't left yet! Murong Xiuxiu walked in from outside the door with a smile on her face.

Murong Xiuxiu likes Han Caier very much, it just so happens that Han Caier is three years older than Tang Bai, as the saying goes, a female junior, hugging gold bricks, she wants Han Caier to be her daughter-in-law, and Tang Xingjun mentioned it a few times, and later mentioned it to Han Dong, but Han Dong was still young and politely refused. But the more she looked at Han Caier, the more she liked it.

"He left the silver needle in the house. Han Cai'er stuck out her tongue, raised the silver needle in her hand, and then said, "Aunt Xiuxiu, I'll go over quickly, my father needs a silver needle to stop the bleeding." After speaking, he looked at Tang Bai on the bed again, and then trotted out of the door.

Murong Xiuxiu hurriedly said: "Wait for lunch with my aunt, I asked the kitchen to cook chicken soup." After speaking, looking at the figure that disappeared in the corner of the house, he sighed, came to the bedside, and suddenly laughed with a 'poof': "Okay, don't pretend to be asleep, Cai'er is not a tiger, why are you so afraid of her." ”

Tang Bai opened his eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Mother, how do you know that I am not asleep." ”

Murong Xiuxiu put down the basin, touched Tang Bai's forehead, and said, "When I came in, I saw you squinting and peeking at Cai'er, and I didn't know if you were asleep?" After speaking, he picked up a towel from the basin and wrung it out, folded it into a square in two by three, put it on Tang Bai's forehead, and said complainingly: "You are an uneasy guy, let you sleep with your mother, you want to sleep alone, you want to be alone in a room, I don't know where the problem is, now it's okay, it's sick." ”

When Tang Bai heard this, he hurriedly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, what kind of joke was there, what he had in his body was a mature soul.

Maybe it was because of illness, maybe it was because I didn't sleep all night last night, listening to Murong Xiuxiu's nagging, my originally tense heart also relaxed, and I fell asleep unconsciously.
