Chapter 140: One Life for One Life
"Qiu Li, I really have no other way to come here, if I just ask for medical advice, I don't have to go far here, Neiko Xiaoman, more important than my life, but if there is a little hope, I will try my best, I don't know if we rushed up the mountain, if there is anything abrupt, if there is something inappropriate, I sincerely apologize, and I hope you don't mind." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qingyang Xiaocen said earnestly, and Bai Xiaoman listened on the side, feeling very uncomfortable.
She doesn't like Qingyang Xiaocen's cautious and flattering appearance, from the first day she met him, he was always high-spirited, how could he ever be so flattering and pleading today?
She gently tugged at Qingyang Xiaocen's sleeve and motioned him not to say anything, but Qingyang Xiaocen grabbed her hand and pressed it, and continued to ask Qiu Li.
Qiu Li listened from beginning to end, and there was no change in expression on his face, but the eyes that looked at him gradually softened.
"It's okay for you to go up the mountain, because there are traps on the mountain, and ordinary people can't come up, just the snake formation, almost no one can break through, these snakes are carefully fed by me and Master, the general snake repellent medicine doesn't work for them at all, and the snakes don't aim to hurt people, there are woodcutters and hunters going up the mountain on weekdays, and the little snakes can scare them away. Today, I also saw that they were gone, and I realized that someone might have gone up the mountain, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”
Qingyang Xiaocen listened to her explanation and knew that there was no such thing as offending or not, so he hesitated before speaking.
Qiu Li didn't expect what he would say, so he stretched out his hand to stop it: "You don't have to say it anymore, I don't agree, it's not because I don't want to save your wife, it's just that my medical skills are limited, and I can't do anything about it." ”
Qingyang Xiaocen was suddenly extremely disappointed, Bai Xiaoman looked at him at a loss, saw that he looked lonely, and hurriedly comforted: "Anyway, we tried our best, everyone has their own lives, a person with such a precious building, and his body is healthy, maybe he will live longer than me, and my stand-in will not have a chance to come in handy in the future." ”
"Is there really nothing you can do?" Qingyang Xiaocen did not give up, and continued to ask: "I heard that the medicine king Sheng's family has excellent medical skills, and there are descendants alive, I don't know if you are under his disciple?" ”
Qiu Li nodded slightly.
"Can you introduce us to the Commander? I wonder if he can find a way to solve this blood curse? ”
Qiu Li hesitated for a moment before saying: "I have only vaguely heard about the blood curse, this curse is overbearing and strong, when it was concluded, it was indebted to the lives of innocent people, it is really against humanity, if you want to unravel, you must also use the lives of people for no reason, Master I practiced medicine, if I hurt others in order to save one person, it is really difficult to start, besides, Master has been in retreat for many years, set up his mind, teach disciples to study herbal medicine, and have no intention of stepping into the worldly strife again. ”
"But if your master leaves it alone, Xiaoman is also an innocent person, and his life is in danger, which is contrary to the purpose of your practitioners, the heart of the doctor's parents, do you just let the person who asks for help in front of you fend for himself?" The more Qingyang Xiao Cen spoke, the more he couldn't suppress his anger.
He asked himself to seek medical treatment sincerely, but he was unexpectedly met with all kinds of obstacles.
"Practitioners of medicine are full of medical skills, so because of this, they don't take us ordinary people to heart, and take the ability to cure diseases and save people as the capital of casual and reckless behavior?"
The more Qingyang Xiao Cen spoke, the more angry he became, Qiu Li's face was displeased, and he reminded: "Brother Xiao Cen, pay attention to your words." ”
Qingyang Xiao Cen sneered: "Not to mention that you still call me Brother Xiao Cen, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you are no longer the Qiuli sister I knew back then." I can understand that you are alienated from me, but is your arrogance in acting and speaking that your master taught you? I remember that you liked to play with herbs and flowers since you were a child, but at that time, you always wanted to try your best to help the people around you, and now you have finally fulfilled your long-cherished wish to become a doctor, and worship under the queen of medicine, which has surpassed the medical skills of most people in the world, but is your heart still the same as before? Is this medical skill the help of your ability to benefit the common people or the backing of your arrogance? ”
Qiu Li's eyes widened angrily, and he scolded: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Brother Xiao Cen's temper is still as hot as ever!" It's just that in this Qiongshan, your anger is useless, I advise you to restrain it! ”
Bai Xiaoman pulled his hand and signaled him not to say any more, so as not to quarrel, but Qingyang Xiaocen didn't listen at all, and said without showing weakness: "I'm not a kind person in the first place, I was almost begging you just now, even if you can't heal, and your master has clear rules and precepts, but human life is at stake, you can always help us try our best, right?" Don't you even want to be introduced? ”
Qiu Li's voice was cold, and he pointed at Bai Xiaoman with one hand and asked, "If another couple dies in order to save her, how can you bear it?" Your wife's life is a life, but someone else's life is not? Your so-called doctor's parental heart is just selfishness, in order to save the people you care about, you take other people's lives seriously, but in our opinion, life is life, two for one, it makes no sense, doctors have always healed patients, and have never heard of ending other people's lives with their own hands. ”
Bai Xiaoman can be regarded as having seen it, it turns out that Yu Zifei is planted in the hands of this Qiu Li in front of him, and his words are really powerful, not inferior to men.
After saying a paragraph, Ban Xiqiu Li sighed lightly, and then smiled with a bit of mockery: "Okay, you children of a family have always been so selfish!" ”
Turning around, he pointed in the direction of the mountain, and said indifferently: "The sun has gone down, I'm afraid you will have to walk at night tonight, wild beasts are infested in the mountains, everyone remember to take care!" ”
Just about to raise his legs, Qingyang Xiaocen suddenly shouted: "We don't need other people's lives in exchange for our own lives, we can always use mine, right?" Xiaoman and I are husband and wife, husband and wife are one, I will suffer for her, doesn't the king of medicine have any way? ”
Not only Qiuli and Bai Xiaoman were stunned, but Fang Jingzhuo and Mueller were also surprised, Bai Xiaoman walked in front of him and said sharply: "What are you crazy about?" What does it mean to exchange your life for mine? Who do you learn from all day long? I've had a lifetime of calamity, why should you interfere? You're going to live your life and get less involved with me, you know? ”
Qingyang Xiaocen changed his past gentleness and obedience to her, pushed her away, and asked Qiuli again: "I said that I am willing to exchange my life for her, so it will not violate your conscience, right?" ”
Bai Xiaoman scolded angrily: "Are you stupid or deaf?" Did you hear me talking to you? I don't need you to change me, who is rare, you don't make your own decisions here! ”
Then he turned his head and said to Qiu Li; "Miss Qiuli, he's talking nonsense, don't take it seriously, since you and Master are very embarrassed, we can't cure this disease, let's leave and don't bother you."
After that, he was about to pull Qingyang Xiaocen down the mountain, but Qingyang Xiaocen glared at her: "Don't make trouble!" ”
Bai Xiaoman glared back: "It's you who is messing around!" Hurry up and let me go! Don't force me to do it if you don't go! ”
Qingyang Xiaocen pulled her behind him, and his eyes pressed to Qiu Li's feet: "Qiu Li, my words have come to this, are you willing to help, you should always have a word, right?" ”
Bai Xiaoman exploded in anger, clenched his fist fiercely and slapped him on the shoulder: "I told you to shut up, did you hear me?" ”
Qingyang Xiaocen asked Qiu Li again, Bai Xiaoman didn't wait for his voice to land and gave him a hammer, Fang Jingzhuo couldn't help but persuade him aloud: "Madam......"
Before he could begin speaking, Mueller stretched out the hilt of his sword to block his forward movements, and stopped: "The two of them have their own proportions. ”
Qiu Li has been quietly watching the few of them make trouble, and he didn't make a sound, his eyes rolled back and forth on the few people, as if he was thinking.
Seeing that Qingyang Xiaocen was going to continue, Bai Xiaoman made a killer move; "Qingyang Xiaocen, I'll give you one last chance, you don't tell me here, if you are so stubborn again, I will reconcile with you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned on the spot, especially Qiu Li and Fang Jingzhuo, who looked at Bai Xiaoman with a look of a monster, only Mu Le's expression did not change, and he was not surprised at all.
Qingyang Xiaocen's face sank, pulled her closer, and reprimanded: "Don't be willful! ”
Bai Xiaoman looked at a few people, the last bit of afterglow of the sunset was about to be cleared, the naked eye was about to see the situation in front of her clearly, she was anxious, and she was afraid that Qingyang Xiaocen would say something again, so she asked angrily: "What do you see?" Can't get over it and break which royal law? ”
Qingyang Xiaocen also came up to lose his temper, but still lowered his voice: "Don't make a fool!" ”
Bai Xiaoman slapped him on the arm: "It's you bastard who has a donkey temper, right?" ”
Qingyang Xiaocen grabbed her hand: "Just speak, what kind of hands do you move!" ”
Bai Xiaoman scolded: "Who wants you to slap your swollen face and be fat, do you think you are a hero in the green forest, and you are brave in the face of righteousness?" I don't have to worry about you, I thank God if you take care of yourself, if you mess around again, I'll let your bamboo basket fetch water empty, don't wait for you to save me, I'll end myself first, so that you always want to sacrifice your life all day long! ”
Qingyang Xiaocen listened and didn't squeak.
Bai Xiaoman's anger continued to rise, and he couldn't help but slap his arm with his hand again, and asked, "Did you hear that?" ”
Qingyang Xiaocen twisted his body angrily and ignored her, Bai Xiaoman pulled him over, and kept patting his chest with his hand: "Hurry up and take me down the mountain, I don't want to be besieged by wolves, snakes, and bears again!" Hurry up! Hurry up! Don't grind! ”
Fang Jingzhuo really couldn't stand it anymore, as soon as he opened his mouth, the voice: "Madame......" had not yet been called, and the hilt of Muller's sword was already against his stomach, so Fang Jingzhuo had no choice but to shut up.
Qiu Li, who was watching the show on the side, suddenly said: "Brother Xiao Cen, I didn't expect you to have today." ”
Qingyang Xiao Cen said coldly: "It's not that you and your master have forced it. ”
Qiu Li pursed his lips and smiled: "Come with me, I like to see you children of the family being tortured the most." ”
Qingyang Xiaocen and Bai Xiaoman couldn't believe their ears, and asked hesitantly, "Where are you going?" ”
Qiuli took out a fire fold, lit a very small torch he brought with him, turned around and left, and his voice floated: "Go to see my master, but I can only try, if there is a way to save your wife, I can't guarantee whether I come with you or not." ”
Qingyang Xiaocen showed joy on his face, and pulled Bai Xiaoman to follow.
Muller and Fang Jingzhuo lit the torches prepared in advance, and the few of them walked forward quickly.
The mountain road is not easy to walk, except for Qiu Li, the people next to him are coming for the first time, one foot deep and one foot shallow, not good at mastering the speed, and soon Qiu Li fell away from a distance.
Qingyang Xiaocen said unexpectedly: "Looking at Qiuli's walking pace, she should know martial arts, strange, she has never practiced martial arts before, when did she become proficient in medical skills and martial arts?" ”
Bai Xiaoman didn't think it was strange: "You think, she changed from a princess to a tea gardener, and I don't know when she became a closed disciple of the Medicine King, compared to these, it is not difficult to say that she can do martial arts, right?" She is so strong, learn some martial arts, strengthen her body, and protect herself, what's so strange. ”
Qingyang Xiaocen nodded in agreement: "Yes, Qiuli's experience is really bizarre enough." ”
Xu was aware of their backwardness, and Qiuli gradually slowed down, waiting for them to catch up before continuing to move forward.
Along the way, a few people were silent, only the unique insects and birds in the mountains were heard in their ears, Qingyang Xiaocen thought of the words of the pharmacy guy during the day, and felt a little suspicious, so he asked: "Qiuli, you are alone, always in and out of the city pharmacy, will it be a little inconvenient?" ”
Qiu Li didn't reply: "I am a woman dressed as a man, under the pseudonym Qiu Li, and it is very convenient to walk in the city and countryside." ”
"Do you mean Master?"
"Well, the master said that practicing for war is not for seeing, and no matter how much medical skills I learn, if I don't use it to save people, it will be useless, and it will be empty, so let me go down the mountain to practice, while saving lives and helping the wounded, it will also help me improve my medical skills."
Bai Xiaoman also had doubts in her heart, but she was too embarrassed to interject, Qingyang Xiaocen had a clear understanding with her, and asked: "Then why does your master and his old man refuse to treat and save people anymore?" ”
Qiu Li was silent for a moment before he said, "In a while, you will know when you see him." ”
Bai Xiaoman and Qingyang Xiaocen glanced at each other, continued to move forward, and did not say anything more.
I don't know how long I climbed the mountain road, the terrain under my feet finally flattened, it seemed that I was walking on a repaired path, and I could see a little light and fire in the distance.
Seeing her relaxed expression, Qingyang Xiaocen asked her, "Tired?" ”
Bai Xiaoman shook his head: "I'm not tired, but I'm always worried about where a wild boar and black bear will come out of nowhere, and I'm afraid of being eaten by them." ”
In fact, Bai Xiaoman was tired and afraid, but all this was for her, everyone was affected by her, everyone was silent, and she couldn't snort, it would be too shameless.
Qingyang Xiaocen laughed at her and said, "Have you heard too much about books?" ”
Bai Xiaoman smiled and didn't tell him, in fact, she had watched too many TV series and movies.
Qiu Li suddenly stopped, turned around and told them very seriously: "My master has not seen outsiders for many years, his old man's personality is a little weird, he doesn't like people, I don't know if I will say something embarrassing when I see you for a while, I tell you in advance, I hope you are mentally prepared, if you are willing, follow me in, I will introduce you, if you are unwilling, I will also ask Master to stay with you for one night, and send you away tomorrow." ”
Qingyang Xiaocen said decisively: "No matter what he says, we won't be angry." ”
Qiuli nodded: "Okay, good luck." (To be continued.) )
