Chapter 168: Memories
"You don't understand. Peach Blossom shook her head, remembering those eyes, occasionally clear, occasionally gentle, like a sea of stars in it, only to hear her speak softly, "This is not to repay the favor, just like you said that he saved me, I have many ways to repay, he is the only child in his family, I can treat his parents as biological parents in the future, I think he will be very happy, but what about me? ”
Peach Blossom suddenly laughed, laughing a little wantonly, only to hear her continue: "I lived really too carefully before, I was worried about the rules of this world, worried about everyone's eyes, and was always afraid of being regarded as an outlier, but after that life and death, I found that God asked me to come here, I wasted it in vain, I haven't seen this great river and mountain, I haven't experienced the joys and sorrows of the world, I spend my days in emptiness, and I don't make any progress." Whether it's someone I like or someone I hate, I'm afraid of getting into trouble and retreating. Now that I think about it, maybe God can't stand it anymore, so I went through some life and death. And Baichuan, do you remember him?"
Peach Blossom mentioned Baichuan, her heart was sad, her eyes were wet with tears, she snorted, forcibly endured the sour feeling in her throat, and said: "I lied to my father and mother that he had found his family, but in fact, I didn't protect him well, and he died." I killed him with my stupidity and weakness. If I was strong enough, he wouldn't have died, or simply wouldn't have put himself in such a dangerous situation with him. I hated myself and would never forgive myself for the rest of my life. What about Su Jinchen? That day, he could have left safely, but he still rushed back to save me without any scruples, Dawu's measure was to let Yun Wei be injured, infected with diseases, bring back to the capital, and infect more people, if Su Jinchen didn't come back to save me, his hand would not have been injured, so he might not have been infected. They were all injured because of me, how could I be worthy of their treatment? Now, he was going to be sent to the Troubled Wind Gang, where he was alone and waiting to die. I understand that feeling, so I can't let it go, at the last moment of my life, I don't want him to go so sadly, even if it costs my life, I don't hesitate to do it. ”
"But, but I know that I will die, I still have to do it," Old Man Zhao was a little confused, "What's the point of this?"
"I don't know. "But I know I'm selfish, I don't want to regret it for the rest of my life, I don't want to regret it every time I think of this person." Would I still be happy to live like that? I'd rather not live like that. ”
"Would you rather live like that?" Old man Zhao felt a moment of loss.
"But we don't necessarily have to die?" Peach Blossom looked at Old Man Zhao, "The world is so big, and it is rumored that the ghost doctor Zhao is not respectful and the dragon is not the end, but why did I just let me meet you? This shows that you are the noble person of my life, and you didn't want my life when you were robbed by the Great Witch, and I won't die easily this time!"
"Girl, it's not that I won't help, I'm not sure. To tell you the truth, Su Jinchen and Yun Che are different, Yun Che only has a slight symptom, with my medical skills, it is naturally not a problem, but Su Jinchen has been poisoned for a long time, if it weren't for the Su family to feed some life-saving medicine, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for me to come back, I will already ......" Old man Zhao sighed.
"Then try it. Peach Blossom was not discouraged at all, "Since you are destined to die, why don't you fight to the death, what if the headwind turns the tables successfully?"
Old man Zhao looked at the peach blossoms and laughed too, first lowered his head and chuckled, then laughed loudly, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed out loud.
"Okay! Then try it, you little girl is not afraid of death, what am I afraid of a bad old man!"
"Then it's decided!"
Next, the two made an appointment for the docking time and the code, and they were gone, and they couldn't hide it, just to avoid worrying about their parents, and they had to bother Old Man Zhao to do a good job of ideological work for Jingsheng and them. As for the people in the village, they probably won't pay attention to where the little girl goes every day.
The figure of the peach blossom slowly disappeared, and the old man Zhao turned around and continued to walk back, but he suddenly stopped while walking, sat next to a tree, took out a wine gourd, opened the stopper, took a sip, and looked at the morning light on the horizon with his eyes a little fluttering. What I thought had disappeared was just deliberately forgotten, and if I wasn't prepared for it, it came one after another.
"Senior brother, please save my child, I was poisoned by the Golden Silkworm Gu of the Wuzhen clan, I didn't expect the child to be born like this, I know that only you have a way, please save my child." The woman knelt on the bed, her face was pale, and she burst into tears, describing her witheredness, how could she still have the beauty she once had.
"That's what you're bringing me here for?" he was so angry that he thought she had figured it out, but who knew that it was just empty joy.
"The child of the negative person will die when he dies, your life matters, this is the life-sustaining pill I developed, you eat it quickly, you will be fine if you eat it, and then we will leave here and never come back." He coaxed her, still clinging to a glimmer of hope.
"Is there any more of this life-sustaining pill?" she asked him.
"Yes. He nodded, not telling her that it was only one he had made so far.
"Senior brother, we grew up together since childhood, and your lying appearance has never been different from ordinary people, always staring at other people's eyes without blinking. The woman just smiled sadly, and then stuffed the medicine into the child's mouth without hesitation.
"Don't!" he rushed over to snatch the child and pull out the antidote.
The woman hugged the child tightly and did not let go, but cried and begged him.
The memories were too painful, and Old Man Zhao took another sip of wine, and the spiciness in his mouth dissipated a little of the sadness in his chest.
"Bright Moon. Old man Zhao called out the name, his heart felt like he had been hit hard, and he couldn't say it anymore. At that time, she died, and he had no fighting spirit, so he took her ashes and went away, more than ten years have passed, but he didn't expect to encounter the poison of the Wuzhen clan again.
"That little girl is as stupid as you were back then. Old man Zhao murmured softly, "So, you don't want her to die like this, do you?"
Old man Zhao stood up again, his eyes shining.
"Then come on, Wu Zhen Clan, I want to see if you are poisonous or if I am a good doctor!"
Peach Blossom returned to the cave, saw Su Jinchen's whole person curled up on the ground and trembled slightly, hurriedly ran over, and said with the medicine in the bottle everywhere, "Brother Jinchen, hurry, just take this medicine." ”
Su Jinchen was itchy and uncomfortable, almost wanted to cry, and couldn't hear what Peach Blossom said in a daze.
Peach Blossom broke his mouth and forcibly fed it, Su Jinchen was insisting on being uncomfortable, instinctively biting Peach Blossom's hand, Peach Blossom screamed, and forcibly didn't say anything, and just stuffed the medicine into his mouth.
Blood flowed down the corners of Su Jinchen's mouth, and the faint sweet smell made him sober for a moment.
Seeing that Peach Blossom's whole face was wrinkled together, Su Jinchen was startled and hurriedly sent his mouth, and the medicine in his mouth melted in his mouth with blood in his mouth.
"Y-Why are you so stupid?" Su Jinchen choked.
"Yes, as stupid as you are. Peach Blossom smiled, and then raised her hand, "Hitting is kissing and scolding is love, I didn't expect you to like me so much, I bitten it." ”
