Chapter 18 The Castle Gall

"Okay, in front of us is the Bell and Drum Tower that we are going to visit.

On the upper floor of the Bell and Drum Tower, a large drum is placed at the south gate on the first floor, and a big bell is hung at the north gate. The big drum is used to beat the drum every day to tell the time, and the big bell is used to ring the bell to warn, so it is called the bell and drum tower.

As you can see, the Bell and Drum Tower is an attic-style building with heavy eaves and three drops of water and four corners with spires. It is built on a square pedestal made of blue bricks, and there is a cross-shaped coupon hole with a height and width of 6 meters under the pedestal, which is connected to the four main streets of east, west, south and north. The tour guide introduced and took the tour group up the city tower from the steps of the west gate.

Fang Jingrou stood under the city tower, looking up, this city tower looked slightly different from what she had dreamed of. The castle tower in the dream is majestic and sharp, with the cold texture of sword metal. And the city tower in front of him is as peaceful and calm as an ancient old man, and under the kind and kind appearance, it reveals a decay of old age.

Walking up the stairs, Fang Jingrou also stepped on the pedestal of the city tower, and the tour group in front of her was listening to the tour guide around something. I wanted to bypass these people and enter the city tower directly, but suddenly I heard the tour guide introduce: "This stone is a meteorite, according to the county chronicle, it fell into Yongning City on the night of the seventh day after the completion of Yongning City, and smashed the City God Temple in the city at that time." Later, it was enshrined on the star-picking tower in the northwest corner of the city.

Originally, there was a small building at each of the four corners of the city wall, and now only the Kuixing Tower in the southeast corner remains. The other three buildings were all destroyed in a special historical era. ”

This passage caught her attention, stopped, and waited for the tour group to disperse, and after the tour group dispersed, Jingrou saw a small and round blue stone.

"City guts!" Fang Jingrou recognized this stone in an instant, because Feng Mingyue had it in her memory.

At the beginning of the construction of Yongning City, it was instructed by a master to use a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite to town the city, which was called the city guts.

Yongning City was a small town before it was built, and it was a battleground for soldiers throughout the ages, and countless souls died here. At night, hundreds of ghosts howled outside the city, but the city was peaceful and peaceful, and it was rumored that there was a meteorite town in the city.

The location of this "city gull" should be in the gend position of the city, that is, in the northwest corner. Fang Jingrou turned around and looked at the northwest corner of the city, and saw that the Star Picking Tower that was supposed to stand in the northwest corner had long been gone.

With the passage of time, the city has long been a matter of people, and the original layout of the city has been completely destroyed. But fortunately, the city is still there, which may be one of the reasons why the city has not completely collapsed.

Slowly walking forward, silently standing in front of the city gull, Fang Jingrou slowly stretched out his hand to touch it. This would never have happened in the days of the wind and the moon, when the stone was worshipped like a god and enshrined high on the star-picking tower, and now it is placed outdoors at will.

The cold, hard texture of the stone transmitted from the fingertips and through the arm to the heart, and for a moment it seemed as if the heartbeat had slowed. Fang Jingrou breathed hard, the tip of her nose was cold, and she had to inhale air very hard to reach her lungs. The brain also begins to ossify and cannot think.

"Miss, do you need help?" A man in his thirties asked with a concerned look on his face.

The sound seemed to come from the water, and at this time, Fang Jingrou felt that she was already in the deep water, sinking farther and farther...... The voices heard and the scenery seen were blurred.

Not only did Fang Jingrou feel that she was drowning, but even the man who was looking at her also felt that Fang Jingrou was like a person who was about to be drowned, her face was blue with difficulty breathing, and her eyes were desperate.

Before he had time to say more, the man stepped forward and helped Fang Jingrou.

"Don't mind, I'm a doctor. What is wrong with you? Is it breathless? I'll help you to a ventilated place to rest, do you have a history of heart disease or other medical conditions, and do you have any emergency medication? Don't be nervous and relax, I won't let you have an accident, I have asked the guide to call the emergency number and the ambulance will be coming soon. ”

The doctor was babbling as he and another tourist set up Fang Jingrou onto the chair used by the administrators on the east side of the Bell and Drum Tower. Once you've let her get closer, you can pinch her pulse with your hand to see if her heart rate is normal.

The moment Fang Jingrou's hand left the city gall, the coldness of her body began to slowly recede like a tide. The air inhaled from the tip of the nose also warmed up, and his face slowly improved. Although her breathing had recovered, Fang Jingrou seemed to have been drained of all her strength, unable to make a sound, let alone move.

"My heart rate was so slow just now, and my pulse was very weak, but now it's getting better, don't be nervous, you're fine." Tang Seng was still whispering in his ear, Fang Jingrou felt that she didn't even have the strength to listen to him, so she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day, and Fang Jingrou, who had been asleep for 24 hours, felt that she was top-heavy and sore. The nurse came in and asked her for her name and other basic information, and then called the doctor to examine her.

The doctor told Fang Jingrou that she had collapsed when she was brought in yesterday, and that an electrocardiogram and other tests did not find anything wrong with her. It may be overwork or autonomic disorder. She was given a bottle of gamma oryzanol and told her to go back and eat it.

The nurse made some porridge for Fang Jingrou from the hospital cafeteria and told her that the doctor who sent her yesterday had left with the group because of the itinerary of the tour group, and did not leave his name. You don't need to pay for first aid and examination, you only need to pay for the injection of glucose and gamma oryzanol.

Because it is a tourist city, first aid for out-of-town tourists is free. Fang Jingrou was very touched by the simplicity and kindness of the people in the small city, and of course the doctor and the other people who helped her. It was a pity that she couldn't even see the doctor's face.

"Thank you for doing so much for me." Fang Jingrou looked at the short-haired girl opposite and thanked her from the bottom of her heart.

"What's polite, it's a gesture, our medical staff don't need money to eat in the canteen, and it's not a problem to bring you a porridge." The little nurse is a straightforward and cheerful personality.

"What's your last name?"

"Hehe, don't ask you, my name is Zhang Yan, just call me Xiao Zhang."

"Okay, thanks."

"You've thanked me several times, so you're welcome, why did you come out alone? It's not safe for a girl to be out there, and you're not in good health, so you have to be careful. ”

"Our ancestors are here, so I want to come back to see, and my grandmother and I are at home, she is too old to go far."

"Yo, then we can still be regarded as fellow countrymen, and your family is also here? It's just you and your grandma? It's not easy for you. As he spoke, Xiao Zhang became worried about Fang Jingrou.

"It's nothing, my unit has a holiday, so I'll come and see the place where my ancestors used to live."

"Then who takes care of your grandmother?"

"My grandmother is still physically strong, and her legs and feet are still handy. I'll stay here for a few days and then I'll go back. ”

"Then after you finish the discharge procedures, do you want to stay here?"

"Yes, I just arrived yesterday afternoon, and I fainted unexpectedly, maybe I sat on the long-distance bus for too long."

"Oh, then if you live in a hotel, I can help you introduce it, my second uncle's family runs a hotel."

"Okay, I'm going to trouble you again, I just arrived yesterday and I'm completely unfamiliar with this place."

"It's okay, then you will wait for me at the nurse's station after completing the formalities, and I will take you over after work." The righteousness and generosity of the northern girl made Fang Jingrou's heart warm.
