18. Antidote
The hurricane howled, sweeping through the entire infinite sea. The big trees are like weak grass, blown by the wind, and even pulled off by the roots. Several small boats capsized at the dock, and the third uncle's black boat was also crumbling.
At the last moment, Wei Qianzong withstood the "big beam", he ordered his subordinates to move the goods into the basement, and divided a group of people to evacuate the coastal fishermen and boatmen to other places.
The crowd was tight and orderly, leaving the dock completely.
Mo Hua grabbed the thick cable with one hand and hugged Wei Jiang with the other. After landing on the deck, he immediately took off his robe and carefully covered Wei Jiang to shield her from the wind and rain.
I don't know if it's cold or scared, Wei Jiang kept shaking, the portrait lost his soul, and his eyes were stunned. The Wei family all gathered around, all of them looked scorched, and asked vigorously, "Are you okay?" ”
Wei Jiang didn't miss arms or legs, and his face didn't break, so he looked like he was fine. Li was frightened, and with a "wow" sound, he hugged her and cried.
Maybe it was this cry that called Wei Jiang's soul back. She raised her eyes and saw Mo Hua, he was smiling like old in the rainstorm, like a wisp of soul that never went away, he came to ask for his life and collect debts.
I don't know if it's raining too much, Wei Jiang is getting more and more blurry. She shook a few times, but unexpectedly, her head was heavy and she fell down all at once.
An exclamation rang in my ears. Someone caught her, and her arms were gentle and strong.
Wei Jiang felt uncomfortable and couldn't open her eyes anymore, and after a while, she began to cough, coughing and coughing up blood.
Mo Hua saw the shocking red, frightened, he hurriedly patted her cheek and called a few times: "Ah Jiang." ”
Wei Jiang didn't react.
"Quick! Get her back! Wei Qian said. Before the words fell, Mo Hua had already picked up Wei Jiang and ran to Wei Mansion.
returned to the Wei Mansion and sent Wei Jiang into the boudoir, and the Li family hurriedly brought Master Chang here. Master Chang stroked his beard in his hand, and after carefully checking Wei Jiang's wrist veins, he rolled her eyelids and looked at it for a long time.
"Master Chang. Ah Jiang, does it matter? When will she wake up? Li hugged him, with tears in his eyes, and he didn't dare to cry.
Mo Hua held his breath and waited cautiously for Master Chang's reply, only to see Master Chang's eyes showing sadness, shaking his head and sighing: "It's really strange, it was clear a few days ago, why is it so fierce this time?" ”
"What do you mean? Master Chang, I don't understand, please speak directly. ”
Master Chang wanted to speak and stopped, and then reluctantly laughed: "The old man went to find some medicine." ”
With that, he hunched over and staggered out the door. Mo Hua chased after him and stopped him where no one was.
"Master Chang, I know you had a slight reservation just now. Tell me straight, I won't talk too much. ”
Mo Hua's voice was not as crisp and dull as before, and he was preoccupied.
Master Chang saw that he was soaked and hadn't changed his clothes yet, so he unconsciously reminded: "Go and change your clothes quickly, so as not to catch a cold." ”
"Master Chang, you sue me first. Is there a cure for Ajan's illness? ”
Master Chang didn't want to say more, so he nodded vigorously: "Save, save." ”
Mo Hua didn't believe it, his eyes were like knives, and he stabbed the old man in the face fiercely.
"Master Chang, tell the truth!"
Master Chang couldn't bluff it, and sighed helplessly. Before speaking, he looked around and made sure that there was no one before he said, "Er Nizi's illness is difficult to treat. Maybe it's because I'm tired this time, and I'm sick like a mountain. It's dangerous! ”
Mo Hua was silent, and his blue eyes stared deadly, like a hanged ghost who had died unjustly.
"Is there no way?"
Master Chang was stared at by him, and his lips spurted, not knowing how to answer.
Mo Hua asked again: "Is there really no way?" ”
Master Chang sighed and reluctantly said a way.
"Soul Rejuvenation Grass can be cured, but it will shorten lifespan. If it can be paired with shark beads, maybe it can break this toxicity. However, as far as I know, there are mermaid beads in the Xianwang Mansion. ”
"Xian Wang's Mansion?" A glimmer of light flashed in Mo Hua's eyes, and then he frowned in thought. "What does this mermaid bead look like?"
"It looks like a meat date, the size of a longan."
Master Chang circled his fingers as he spoke, and suddenly saw that Mo Hua's expression was wrong, and he suddenly became vigilant.
"What? Don't you want to steal? ”
Mo Hua was silent, his hand on his chin and fell into deep thought.
Master Chang patted his thigh and hurriedly persuaded: "The Xianwang Mansion is heavily guarded, you don't know where the mermaid beads are, and it will take a day's journey at the earliest, if you go back and forth, Er Nizi may have ......."
Master Chang consciously leaked his mouth, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand. Before he could react, Mo Hua spun around and jumped out of the corridor.
"Master Chang, you hold on first. Tomorrow morning, I will offer the mermaid beads. ”
Before he could finish speaking, he was gone. The torrential rain is pouring down and confusing the human eye. This kind of day is the day of death.
A few thunderbolts pierced the ears, and it was silent in the dead of night.
Li stayed by Wei Jiang's side, wiping the dense sweat on her forehead; Wei Zhen'er boiled medicine for Wei Jiang with her own hands, and her pretty face was red by the hot mist.
Mr. Wei Qian, Mr. Wei Jialang, and Erlang are still outside cleaning up the mess left by the hurricane, and they don't know when they will be able to come back. The Li family was frightened, afraid that Ah Jiang would leave suddenly, and they would not be able to see her for the last time.
Phew! Ah Jiang is good, how can Ah Jiang go?!
Li Shi panicked, hurriedly held Wei Jiang's little hand, and said in her ear: "Ah Jiang, don't sleep too long, my mother is waiting for you." ”
Wei Jiang's fingers moved, as if he heard it. After a while, she slowly opened her eyes and murmured like a dream.
"Am I dead......
Wei Jiang finally woke up! Li Shi suddenly burst into tears and laughed, hurriedly wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes, and pretended to say, "How could you die?" Don't you still live well! ”
Wei Jiang was like a world away, she couldn't remember what she had done, she only remembered that she dreamed of Er Niang. Er Niang wore a peach blossom red gown and combed her hair in a round bun; With a bamboo cigarette stick in her mouth and embroidered shoes on her feet, she walked in front of her charmingly and.
She pursed her red lips, puffed on her face, and then smiled and asked, "Do you miss me?" ”
Wei Jiang was silent. Er Niang continued to swallow the clouds and spit out the fog, and her eyes were cold.
"I know you look down on me and don't like me; Desperately trying to be different from me. But have you ever thought that without me, there would be no you. I am you. ”
With that, Er Niang spat out a smoke ring. The smoke ring slowly fell on her face, and suddenly dispersed into a mist. In the fog, Wei Jiang saw a pair of tearful eyes, innocent and pitiful......
Dreaming that this was broken, Wei Jiang slowly returned to her senses, and when she opened her eyes, she returned to the world. The back suddenly hurt so badly that it was like tearing, Wei Jiang couldn't help but hum and wanted to turn over, but he felt a sweet throat and spit out blood.
Li Shi panicked, hurriedly took a towel and wiped her mouth, and said as if chanting: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Master Chang is coming soon." After taking medicine and taking medicine, Ah Jiang's disease will be cured, and I am not afraid...... Not afraid ......"
As she spoke, Li's eyes were red, but she didn't dare to cry in Weijiang, so she had to smile bitterly in embarrassment.
Wei Jiang felt that he was seriously ill, perhaps because the medicinal power of the Soul Restoration Herb was gone, so it was aggravated. But right now, what she is most worried about is not this, but the third uncle.
Wei Jiang grabbed Li's hand and held it tightly, frowned and asked softly, "Third uncle...... Third uncle, are they still alive? ”
At the mention of this, Li's heart ached like a knife, and he regretted that he couldn't listen to Wei Jiang's words at the beginning. She touched Wei Jiang's hairline and nodded heavily.
"Alive, they are alive. It was you who saved the third uncle! ”
That's great! Wei Jiang raised his eyebrows and breathed a long sigh of relief. Finally, she tasted the benefits of being born again!
Wei Jiang wanted to speak, but she coughed violently again, coughing so much that she burst into tears and couldn't speak. Master Chang came, and without saying a word, he poured a spoonful of medicine into Wei Jiang's mouth.
This medicine is so hard to drink that Wei Jiang wants to vomit. Master Chang covered her mouth with a handpa and insisted that she would not open her mouth.
The bitter medicine passed through the throat, and a few traces of coolness were sandwiched. Wei Jiang's throat stopped itching, and his breathing was suddenly relaxed. Master Chang slowly let go of his hand, relieved.
"Grandpa Chang."
Wei Jiang's strength was gone, and if he wanted to laugh, he could only weakly pull off the corners of his mouth.
Master Chang felt sorry for her, frowned and said, "Don't talk, rest more." ”
Wei Jiang didn't follow, and turned his head to the Li family and said, "Mother, I want to talk to Grandpa Chang for a few words." Shall you go to sleep first? ”
Lee was reluctant. Wei Jiang pleaded again and again, and she was willing to go out, saying that she was going to get something.
There are only Wei Jiang and Master Chang in the room. Wei Jiang knew that his body bones were about to be unable to hold on, so he said bluntly: "Grandpa Chang, I stole your Soul Restoration Grass." ”
Master Chang didn't show surprise after hearing this, as if he had known it for a long time.
He sighed and shook his head, "Silly girl, why are you doing this? ”
"Because I have a lot of things to do, I have to be in good shape. Grandpa Chang, will you help me again? I know you still have three soul rejuvenation grasses, help me get my body right, life is long and life is short, I don't care. ”
Wei Jiang begged bitterly, and his big watery eyes made people feel extremely distressed. Master Chang didn't want to, but he didn't dare, for fear that if he didn't use it well, Wei Jiang would not only get rid of his illness, but maybe he would die.
Wei Jiang saw his thoughts and laughed self-deprecatingly.
"What is the difference between me and the dead now? Lying in bed every day, dazed, just to take a few more breaths. It's better to die on a day like this. ”
As he spoke, Wei Jiang shook Master Chang's hand and said sincerely: "Grandpa Chang, if you are really good for me, help me this time." It's a gamble, and I admit to winning or losing. I don't want to be in bed for the rest of my life, with medicine all day. ”
Master Chang was slightly moved, and he lowered his head as if hesitating. Wei Jiang had to continue to force him.
"Grandpa Chang, I beg you."
Master Chang snorted his wrinkled old mouth, trembled for a long time, and reluctantly squeezed out the word "good". However, he said that he would have to wait until dawn, and did not elaborate on the reason.
Master Chang is waiting for the mermaid beads. The merman bead is the same as the soul regeneration grass, which can save people's lives or destroy people's lives. Master Chang had never tried to put the two together, he only vaguely remembered that Master had never said "usable".
Seeing that the sky was almost dawn, Mo Hua had no news. The rain was still pouring down, loud and abrasive.
