【Di――】
【Trigger Side Quest】
[Host "Lan" triggers the world side quest of "A Smile and Light Prince" - Hou Xianze's dream]
[Mission content: Realize the dream of the mission world character "Hou Xianze".] 】
[Difficulty: 4 stars]
【Mission Time: Unlimited】
[Does the host take over the task?] 】
……
Before Liu En's story was finished, the system prompt sounded, and the translucent holographic prompt box floated in front of Yang Qinglan's eyes, directly covering most of Liu En's old face with tear stains.
The selection countdown will drop from "30" at the same time as the prompt box appears, and the selection time will be compressed by half from one minute, if it weren't for Yang Qinglan's deliberate glance, he wouldn't even notice this small change.
C-level four-star side quest, the difficulty is not low, pick up? Or don't pick up?
Staring at the task title of "Hou Xianze's Dream" several times, Yang Qinglan's brain was running rapidly.
Forty-seven-year-old Liu En's name "Liu En" has been called "Liu En" for much longer than "Hou Xianze", and his real name has never been mentioned in the original novel, but the title of the mission is "Hou Xianze" instead of "Liu En", is this directly related to the content of the mission?
Not perceiving the change in the feelings of the person in front of him, Liu En continued to tell his story, and when it came to helping the former crown prince Yin kill He Luo, there were only three seconds left in the countdown to the side quest selection.
Looking at Liu En's lips constantly opening and closing through the translucent selection window, Yang Qinglan's face shook uncontrollably, and finally did not choose to "cancel", but waited until the countdown was over, and the system accepted the task by default.
[At the end of the self-selected time, the system will confirm the opening of the side quest by the default host.] 】
[The side quest has been opened, I wish you a happy quest.] 】
Yang Qinglan tugged at the corners of her mouth, and a crying and laughing "hehe" came out of her throat.
Liu En immediately paused in the middle of speaking, and only after a few seconds did he tentatively whisper, "County Lord......?" ”
The corners of Zhang Yunhua's mouth became bigger and bigger, his gaze staring at him became more and more ruthless, and the sound of "ho-ho-ho" came out of his throat, not like he was going to say anything, but like he was going crazy, and his wrinkled face was distorted so much that it could almost scare crying children.
Liu En's eyelids jumped, he reached out to grab the acupuncture bag placed aside, and quickly pulled out a silver needle more than two inches long from it, aimed at the big acupoint on the top of "Zhang Yunhua's" head and quickly stabbed it!
"Ahhh!!!h
Liu En's reaction was still half a beat slower after all, and the silver needle only pierced into the bun of "Zhang Yunhua", and then he was thrown to the ground by the "crazy" old woman.
The back hit the ground with a solid "bang", and there was still a person pressed on his body, even if "Zhang Yunhua" was very light because of his poor health, he was still pressed and his eyes were black.
Liu En's face directly turned into a vegetable.
"I'm not going to press him out of anything, am I?"
Lying on Liu En's meat pad and pretending to be crazy, secretly observing his face while going crazy, Yang Qinglan was a little weak-hearted.
She actually didn't plan to knock him down, who knew that this body was not very easy to control, and when she threw herself forward, she didn't catch it, and when she reacted, she was already lying on the ground, halfway through the acting, there was no director shouting "card", and she couldn't stop, so she could only continue to go crazy and tear his clothes while praying in her heart not to crush him to death.
Fortunately, as an imperial doctor, Liu En attaches great importance to his physical health, although he is older, his body bones are still quite strong, and after being crushed to the ground, he only turned his back for a few seconds, and his face quickly returned to normal.
Seeing this, Yang Qinglan silently breathed a sigh of relief, and her madness became more real.
When Liu Jiao finally suppressed her brute force, and then used silver needles to prick acupoints to control her feelings, both of them were exhausted and disheveled, and if they were seen, they might guess blindly.
I don't know which acupuncture points Liu En stabbed, Yang Qinglan only felt that her brain seemed to be wrapped in ten layers of plastic wrap, so stuffy that she didn't want to move at all, her actions and thoughts were all slow and slow, and it was difficult to move her fingers, not to mention deliberately pretending to be crazy, so she was obediently at the mercy of Liu En, but her eyes staring at him did not change in the slightest, always reminding him that "the old lady is a madman, please don't let your guard down."
Finally settled the old lady, and took a look at the torn messy placket, Liu En raised his hand to wipe a handful of fine sweat on his forehead, and sat down on the chair with a knife-like gaze of "Zhang Yunhua" and gasped for breath.
When his breath was smooth, Liu En found that the old county lord who was still staring at him just now had closed his eyes and fell asleep, but he was still holding the piece of cloth that had been torn off his body in his hand and refused to let go.
Liu En shook his head and took a few silver needles off "Zhang Yunhua", then turned around and lit the soothing incense that had been kept in the house, stood in front of the incense burner and carefully sorted out his clothes, and it took a long time to make himself look less wolf.
Let's go back and change our clothes first, and let the maid come in and look at the old lady. He thought.
However, before he could lift his feet, there was another sound on the soft couch behind him.
Liu En immediately turned around, and saw "Zhang Yunhua" on the soft couch slowly open his eyes, turned around without focus, and then looked at him.
“…… Imperial Doctor Liu? Old ...... Why do you feel so drowsy? ”
Well?
Liu En subconsciously frowned.
"Zhang Yunhua"'s expression at this time was blank and not fake, his eyes were clear, where was the crazy color just now?
After thinking about it, Liu En made a tentative sound: "County Lord? ”
"Zhang Yunhua"'s expression was even more dazed.
"What county lord? It's time...... Still visiting? ”
Liu Terrier: "......!! ”
Three or two steps to sit down in front of the soft couch to check the pulse, Liu En was stunned to find that "Zhang Yunhua" was still very disordered just now, but at this time, it became quite peaceful, that is to say, her current mood is not too turbulent, and she is the same as the two just now.
No, it's not two people, it's two people at all.
Touching a pulse that was completely different from just now, Liu En's heart sank to the bottom.
Although he has basically not left Shengjing since he studied medicine, he has read a lot of medical classics, and the medical classics in the imperial doctor's workshop have basically been turned over by him, and this "soul disease" has been recorded in several medical classics.
In the period before the establishment of medicine, the disease of distraction was once regarded as a filthy spirit, and the patient would be sent to a witch doctor to exorcise evil spirits, and if the exorcism was not successful, they could only be burned alive, and only later did they gradually become recognized.
If he remembered correctly, there was no cure for people suffering from the disease of distraction, and the separated souls were independent of each other, and if they didn't know each other, they would go crazy until they died of exhaustion.
The appearance of "Zhang Yunhua" doesn't look like they don't know each other.
Liu En's expression seemed to frighten "Zhang Yunhua", making her involuntarily check herself, and then soon found the piece of rag in her hand.
"This is ......" Zhang Yunhua stared at the cloth in his hand in a daze, and then turned his gaze to Liu En's chest consciously, and sure enough, there were two pieces missing.
Liu En uncomfortably tugged at the placket of his clothes, covering the ripped place, trying to change the topic.
"Madam, I have to hurry the day after tomorrow, and I need to take a total of three doses of the tranquilizer today and tomorrow......"
Before he finished speaking, "Zhang Yunhua" suddenly half-sat up, grabbed Liu En's wrist, and his face was full of sorrow: "Did he come out?" You saw him, didn't you? Right?! ”
Liu En's unfinished words were choked in his throat and he couldn't speak anymore.
"Zhang Yunhua" choked up: "I know that he died unjustly, but what can I do, I ...... I can't do anything, I can't stop anything......"
Died unjustly?
Liu En immediately understood that "Zhang Yunhua" must have misunderstood something.
"Madam, please rest assured, the deceased has passed away, and it will not cause trouble to the living, how did General Rongwei treat you before his death? How can it be difficult for you to do it after death? ”
"Zhang Yunhua" widened his eyes and grabbed his hand with more strength than just now: "Did he talk to you?" What did he say? Is it for revenge? Is it ...... Ahem-ahem-ahem......"
"No, ma'am, that's not a general."
"What...... Could it be some other lonely ghost?! ”
"Madame, don't bother yourself, it's no one, it's you!"
“…… Myself? ”
"Madame, do you remember before you married the general?"
"Vaguely ...... Remember a few ...... I'm not in good health, I'm always having a fever, and I've forgotten a lot of things......"
"You didn't forget, you just got separated, because that part of the memory was too painful for you, so it was sealed in your heart, and with the passage of time, it can't be closed now."
"Zhang Yunhua" stared, dumbfounded, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about at all, but the hand holding him gradually let go.
"That's not a lonely ghost, it's not a general, it's you, you don't need to be afraid." Liu En tried hard to make her accept another self, and try to avoid the situation where the two souls were opposed to each other and then died of self-consumption.
For Liu En, although he has taken care of "Mrs. Rongwei Zhang Yunhua" for so many years, what he really cares about is "Yunhua County Lord Zhuo Yun'er", no matter what aspect he does, he doesn't want the county lord to disappear.
I don't know if his comfort worked, "Zhang Yunhua"'s expression gradually softened and became a little dull, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, "Zhang Yunhua", who suddenly remembered something, immediately became frightened again.
"No, it can't be me, I won't let people poison the porridge shed, that's hundreds of lives...... It's a ghost.,It's a ghost full of resentment-!! ”
Seeing that she was trembling all over her body and began to cough again, and her feelings could get out of control at any time, Liu En had to grab the acupuncture bag again, just in case.
"Madame! The movement is sad and sad, you still have to go to Jinyang to surpass the soul, but you can't fall here! ”
"Zhang Yunhua" froze, and the whole person shrank: "Yes...... I still want to accumulate virtue, I want to make amends, and I can't drag the entire general's mansion to hell...... You can't go to hell...... Dharma, do a lot of Dharma......"
"Ma'am?"
"I didn't do it...... I don't go to hell, and neither do I go to hell in the General's Mansion...... Excess, all excess...... Excessive ......"
Liu En closed his eyes in pain, and the hand holding the silver needle finally stabbed down.
"Zhang Yunhua" fell on the soft couch again.
