Chapter 145: Peeling Back the Cocoon (4)
"Thank you, thank me, what?"
Qu Ziyan had a playful smile on his face, but he really didn't expect Xia Qing to stop him and say such things to him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"That's it..... Just thank you..... Okay, let's go, let's go....."
Xia Qing lowered her head, not daring to look at Qu Ziyan's face, so she didn't see the wonderful expression on his overly beneficial-looking face at the moment.
"Are you just thanking me like that?"
"And what do you want?"
"Of course it'......."
"Huh?"
Xia Qing raised her head, and an enlarged demonic face suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Ah.....h
Xia Qing, who was shocked by this sudden face, couldn't find the center of gravity of his body for a while, and the whole person leaned back, seeing that he was about to fall under the steps.
A pair of large strong hands wrapped around her from behind, and she slammed into the cold embrace once more.
"Is my face so horrible?"
The culprit who almost caused her to fall down the steps just now looked at her with a sneer on his face.
The phoenix eyes that seemed to glow stared at her face at this time.
Until her face became redder and redder, those eyes still refused to let her go.
"Can you.... Can you let me go first..... It's a strange position....."
Xia Qing blushed and didn't start.
The two of them were now on the edge of the steps, one holding the other and curling up in the other's arms.
Crumbling appearance.
"Hahaha. ”
Qu Ziyan's laughter came from overhead, and then a cold, soft thing touched her face.
"You ........"
Xia Qing turned her head, and her lips just wiped the cool thing.
That's Qu Ziyan's lips......
"Just asking you for this, don't get so excited. ”
He bent his lips and pulled Xia Qing in, "Don't stand there, it will be bad if you fall again." ”
As he spoke, he took Xia Qing's little hand, "Go inside and rest, Feng Jiuyin and they are all there." ”
"Hmmm......"
Xia Qing was still stunned, she blushed, looking at Qu Ziyan's slender back, she always felt that she had been taken advantage of by him, but why didn't she get angry.........
"Old man Hua, Chu Qiao has been out for a long time, right?"
Half-asleep and half-awake, Ah Yu suddenly remembered Chu Qiao, who had been out for a long time and had not returned.
He had just dreamed that Chu Qiao was pointing his sword at Elder Qi, and the two seemed to be about to fight.
"It's been a long time since I've been out, but she has her own business, and I can't follow ...... all the time."
The old man said and turned the page back from the medical book in his hand.
It's really strange, that kid, although I have always heard that he is good at medicine, but like this kind of strange injury that he has never seen and can't heal, he can actually get rid of the disease, it's really strange.
Old man Hua has always been a person who loves talents.
For him, the desert ghost doctor Feng Jiuyin was a good candidate for discipleship at this time.
"Old man Hua, you said you will die soon?"
"yes, not long. ”
He turned the page indifferently, without lifting his eyelids, as if he was not talking about his life and death, but asking him if he had dinner tonight.
Because he's so curious about what that poison is now.
"Why, do you have any disease?"
Ah Yu frowned, and there was a strong sense of inquiry in his eyes.
"Boy. ”
Old Man Hua closed the book heavily, "Although I know about you, I can't guarantee that you won't rebel or something, in case you do this......."
"Since you will tell me that your life is short, then it can only mean that you trust me very much, and you didn't tell me about it just now, just because there are Elder Qi's secret guards outside. And at present, judging from the way Chu Qiao gets along with you, you definitely didn't tell Chu Qiao about it. You told me that you must have your purpose, and that you should have no choice but to believe me. ”
Ah Yu lightly analyzed the stakes inside, which was clear and logical. It's not at all like a seriously injured patient who was dying not long ago.
"That's why I said, the Holy Maiden shouldn't have taken you in. With such a serious injury, he can still sense the movement outside. It's horrible......"
"Don't digress, tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Ah Yu pressed forward step by step, not giving Old Man Hua a chance to dodge.
"Well, I'm going to tell you something..... But promise me, help me hide from Chu Qiao first......"
The old man put the book in his hand on his lap, looked ahead with a pair of slightly cloudy eyes, and fell into memory.
Old Man Hua's family has been a famous family in Miaojiang for generations.
They have a good reputation among the people of Miaojiang by virtue of their superb medical skills.
Therefore, by the time of his grandfather's generation, they were no longer just a famous family, they had also joined the Council of Elders and became members of it.
The position of the elder can also be hereditary, but this hereditary line comes a little faster in their family.
Healers do not heal themselves.
The Hua family has been passed down from generation to generation, and not only that, but they have all carried a curse from birth.
This is an extremely vicious curse, and every generation of the descendants of the Hua family will not live to be thirty years old.
It is said that their ancestors fell in love with a shrine maiden, but shrine maidens were not allowed to marry and have children, and fornicating with them was a serious crime and was punishable by death. In order to survive, the ancestor abandoned the shrine maiden and took another wife.
The shrine maiden knew that she had been abandoned, so on the day of their wedding, she set herself on fire in the wild.
She not only set herself on fire, but also cursed the Hua family.
Every man of the Hua family cannot live to be thirty years old.
Sure enough, the ancestor didn't live to be thirty.
None of the descendants of the Hua family in the following generations could escape this curse.
The only one who escaped was the old man Hua.
"When I was born, my mother used her life to exchange a life-changing Gu worm from the Holy Maiden, and she died instead of me. However, the maximum age of this life-changing Gu worm is sixty years, and after sixty years, the Gu worm fails and the insect inducer dies. ”
Old man Hua turned his head and looked at Ah Yu, and there was even a smile on his lips.
"I've lived so long, and think about how sinful it is. My mother died in my place. I watched them die one by one. So I swore that I would never marry a wife in my life, and that I could not let the curse on my body harm others, so I would just let this curse be broken in my generation........"
"Old man Hua, for the first time, I have a feeling of admiring you. ”
Ah Yu withdrew the eyes that had been staring at the old man Hua, "How do you want me to help you?"
"It's good to talk to a smart kid like you, and you don't have to beat around the bush......"
The old man got up and rummaged in his medicine basket for a while.
"Found it..... This ....."
He held an emerald green elixir in his hand, "Give this to Elder Qi and put it in his mouth." ”
"What is this?"
Ah Yu frowned and looked at the elixir in the old man's hand.
"Ah Yu, for the sake of Miao Jiang, for the sake of Chu Qiao, are you willing to kill Elder Qi?"
The old man is straight, and his eyes are blazing.
"No way, you know ......."
"I know he's your father. However, his ambition is too great, and if he is allowed to develop, the entire Miao Territory may be in danger......"
"I can't do it. “
Ah Yu turned his face away, "No matter what he does, no matter how I say he is my father, I can't do it." ”
"But now, you are the only one who can approach him......."
