Chapter 6: The Shadow

After arriving at the pharmacy, Xiaolong helped carry the trickster to the bed again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe girl in Tsing Yi told everyone to avoid it first, she pulled down the curtain and treated her alone.

Xiaolong cast a spell and saw that the girl in Tsing Yi did not use demonic power to treat the injured, but took out some knives, tweezers and the like. She cut open the bothic cavity of the artist, drained the bruises with a bamboo tube, and stitched the wound with a needle and thread.

To be honest, Xiaolong really has never seen such a cure. If ordinary people saw it, they would think that it was not a cure but a murder. No wonder everyone wants to avoid it, but as a cultivator, Xiaolong still has the determination to accept it.

The girl in Tsing Yi opened the curtain and told the little girl and the old man: "The patient is fine for the time being, and whether he can survive depends on whether he can survive tonight." ”

The girl went to prescribe some more medicine, and the little girl helped to go to the kitchen to boil the medicine.

Xiaolong asked if he could help, and the girl in Tsing Yi asked Xiaolong to put the old man in a guest room and rest first. But the old man said, "Our begging guys are still outside, and we have to go and get them."

Xiaolong set the old man in place, and went out to retrieve the utensils for performing arts.

After returning to the pharmacy, Xiaolong asked the old man who he was, and the old man replied that he was from the north, and there was a drought there, so he had to go south to make a living. Because the ancestors had opened martial arts, there were some fancy postures, but they were not good for these generations.

In order to make a living, he told his son to usually only play with knives, guns and sticks, but the spectators always like exciting things, so they have to prepare some props when they do some dangerous performances.

Xiaolong thinks about it, he is just doing some performances to make a living, and it is enough for the officials to watch the excitement, so why bother to be more real. How many of the people in this world are real kung fu? If so, they wouldn't all have gone for a better livelihood.

After some exchanges, Xiaolong learned that the old man's name was Xu Weiting, his son, that is, the injured trickster was called Xu Shun, and the granddaughter was called Xu Tingting.

The girl in Tsing Yi also introduced herself, called Lilac. As the name suggests, people are not coquettish or flattering, elegant and plain.

Lilac left the old man and Tingting in the pharmacy and told them to wait for Xu Shun's injury to heal before making plans. Xu Lao and Tingting both stayed, because they were responsible for bookkeeping on weekdays, so they helped Lilac's pharmacy with chores on the counter.

Tingting is also small but very sensible, helping to clean up, and occasionally busy decocting medicine for her father.

When Xiaolong saw that they were all settled, he was ready to take his leave, and as for the question of the Lilac girl, he was ready to observe slowly.

But because Xu Shun still had a night of danger, Lilac left Xiaolong and asked him to take care of it, after all, she was too busy for a woman to have an emergency.

Xiaolong's heart is bright, ordinary people may not be busy, but Lilac is easy to take care of the injured, maybe she is trying to avoid suspicion.

Xiaolong stayed, and there was a side room in the back to live in.

This pharmacy is not big or small, but there is only this one in the town, and everyone needs it so it can be passed on forever, and it seems that it has been some years.

The layout in the backyard is very simple, with only two flowers and plants, and the remaining space is all occupied by dried herbs.

It was late at night, and the moon climbed over the treetops, higher and higher. A few dark clouds are hidden, always playing with the starlight, like a rush.

There was a room in the pharmacy that didn't turn off the lights all night, and it was Xu Shun's room.

Because he had to observe the cloves, Xiaolong did not rest, and besides, with his current cultivation, it was a trivial matter to stay awake, and he only needed to sit for a while to recover his spirit.

It seems that Xu Shun's condition deteriorated in the middle of the night, and Xu Lao, who had been with him before, was called back to rest by Lilac, but Tingting never left. But this time I also fell asleep sleepily.

Xiaolong cast a spell in his room and saw the situation in Xu Shun's room. In the end, he saw that Lilac still cast a demon spell to save Xu Shun.

Xiaolong, judging from the current understanding, it is true that Lilac is a monster, but he is a good demon. Could it be that this level is to see if I can do the work of destroying demons regardless of whether I am good or bad? Xiaolong thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with a clue, but he became more and more confused.

On the second day, Xu Shun's condition improved, and Xiaolong got up first to say goodbye, and he couldn't stay in someone's pharmacy all the time.

A few days later, Xiaolong saw Lilac on the street again, and saw that she was carrying a medicine basket on her back, and it was estimated that she was going up the mountain to collect medicine.

Xiaolong also stepped forward to say hello, "Sister Lilac is going up the mountain to collect medicine, I'm okay if I'm idle, why don't I go with you to help." ”

"I'm sorry, if you're really fine, follow me, but be careful that the road up the mountain is difficult, but you have to pay attention to safety."

So the little dragon followed Lilac up the hill, and when he passed the street corner, there were a few beggars begging for food. Lilac went to a steamed bun shop not far away to buy a few baskets of steamed buns and asked Xiaolong to share them with everyone.

Later, I learned that Lilac often helped these beggars, and she was willing to help anyone in the neighborhood who needed help.

It's getting more and more unpredictable.

Suddenly, one day there was a big event in the town, someone found a dead body by the river, and the water was swollen.

After the town's yamen brought back the corpse for an autopsy, it was found that the corpse had no fatal wounds, but it was not drowned, because the water was poured into the corpse after death, so there was very little water in the lungs.

Xiaolong also quietly inspected it later, and with his eyes, he could see at a glance that the man had been sucked out of his soul and died.

When cultivating in the cave, there was an introduction in the book that Xiaolong read, there is no difference between good and evil in the cultivation of humans and demons, they are all swallowing the essence of the sun and the moon and absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

However, there is a group of beings who suck the souls of humans or other primates to cultivate in order to cultivate quickly, and there are also those who refine the essence and blood of others to speed up their cultivation.

This type of existence, whether it is a human or a demon, is called a demon. The path of demonic cultivation is naturally the path of demons, abandoning human nature, or treacherous and cunning, or fierce and cruel.

Since there is a demon in the town, it seems that this level is to find out this demon by yourself and destroy it.

However, Xiaolong carefully examined the corpse and found nothing else, so it seemed that he had to wait for the demon to go out again.

In the past few days, Xiaolong has been asking if there is anything strange in this town, and everyone says no. But he was careful and still found something strange, it was the girl in red who exposed them with a broken boulder on the chest of Xu Shun's performance before.

This girl in red is, the young lady of the forester's family, the forester is the richest man in this town, and even the county lord gives three points, because the forester is still a cousin of the governor.

Speaking of this Lin family girl, Lin Wan'er, she used to be out of the door, but she likes to move around for some time now.

Of course, this is not the main reason for doubt, Lin Wan'er used to be beautiful and civilized in this town, and she was also known for her good heart.
