(802) Wounded City

- As soon as Gu Yuan left, Ruan Luo couldn't sit still, pacing back and forth in the room, and from time to time he cast his gaze out of the window.

Looking at Ruan Luo, who was so anxious, Xu Kecheng just continued to sip hot tea slowly. After a long time, seeing that Ruan Luo still had no intention of stopping and sitting down, Xu Kecheng's attention followed Ruan Luo, who was going back and forth in the house, and he was also a little dizzy, so he said out loud: "Xiao Ruan, don't think about waiting for the opportunity to leave." If you insist on being so stubborn, you will suffer under my hands. ”

Ruan Luo paused when he heard this, turned his face sideways to stare at Xu Kecheng at the table, and said in a stern tone: "You don't need to bother reminding you. Don't say that with my ability, I can't get out of your control at all now, even if I can suddenly fly off the wall, but since I promised to stay in advance, I won't be as cheating as you. ”

When Ruan Luo spoke, there was both helplessness and annoyance on his face, and in Xu Kecheng's opinion, he had not completely turned his face and was angry. But if anyone who was familiar with Ruan Luo was present, I am afraid that they would be surprised by his complicated and changing face at this moment.

Ruan Luo usually gives others the feeling that he is like a tuft of grass in the sun. He doesn't have any glamorous angles, but shuttling through the crowd can naturally restrain some of the dazzling atmosphere. So where he is, the atmosphere is more harmonious and comfortable. Even if he sometimes doesn't negotiate business with people, it's just a broken deal, but it doesn't hurt people.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere between Ruan Luo's gestures and eyes gave people the feeling of a strong wind sweeping the autumn grass, and the feeling of smoothness was gone, only a piece of stubble on the rugged hillside, giving people a feeling of not wanting to get close.

……

Xu Kecheng stared at the masked man's face, his gaze as straight as a needle seemed to be able to penetrate the veil. Although new masked men kept walking outside the house, obviously a professional killer along the way, Xu Kecheng's tone of voice still maintained a tepid calm: "Don't talk about yourself so noblely, you kidnapped Ruan Chenggang's only descendant, don't you also want to take that combat strategy from him?" We are each other. Oh no......"

He was just halfway through his sentence when he suddenly paused.

He hadn't done anything, but the tone of his voice that had been smooth suddenly paused, and the masked killers who had just walked in through the door shrank almost in unison. Strength in hand. This posture is a bit like the arrows of the longbow team in front of the battle, as long as the flagbearer makes a slight move, the arrows that are ready to fire may get out of control, resulting in a result that cannot be modified.

Of course, Xu Kecheng also saw this scene clearly and understood the danger in the field, but the sound he made just now was indeed only because he suddenly remembered something halfway through his words, not really bold enough to use his life to test some opportunities.

At this time, the contrast between the forces of the enemy and us in this room is too great. Even children who can only count the addition and subtraction of ten fingers can see that this is not a good time to make such a deadly joke.

If you want to strike first, or break through with a sword, it is impossible to do it, so you can only use the word 'drag'. It's worth living a little longer, because no one knows what's going to happen in the next moment. But if he dies immediately, it will be a difficult ending to change.

Xu Kecheng took a deep breath and laughed dryly twice before picking up the disconnected half of the sentence before: "Actually...... If you think about it, our purpose is a little different. ”

As he spoke, his gaze spread out and he looked around, and quickly made some calculations in his heart. There were already six or seven masked killers standing inside the house, under such a density of sieges. If you want to escape alone, you can't get out of it with your whole body, not to mention bringing a Ruan Luo who doesn't know martial arts, which is the biggest risk burden. And in addition to these people in the house, there are killer remnants outside the house, even if they can risk their lives to kill the encirclement inside the house. Out of this door, I am afraid that it will be difficult to avoid the "tail cutting" of the rest of the killers.

Thinking of this, Xu Kecheng felt a little angry, and secretly thought to himself: Xu Kecheng, I didn't expect a child's play in the past. At this point, I'm afraid it's going to come true. If you die in a foreign capital, and in the face of the situation in front of you, I'm afraid you will die a miserable death, right? If you don't die today, you must listen to the professor's words when you go back, change the word 'guest', and beat up those seniors who are used to joking with this name to get rid of bad luck.

The masked man in the lead was keenly aware of the trace of sadness in Xu Kecheng's eyes, and seeing that the sadness quickly turned into determination, his heart moved, and he suddenly raised his hand quickly, and raised his palm upwards in the air.

The masked killers behind him received this gesture and slowed down slightly. Although their eyes were still as fierce as the wild wolves in the night, their imminent momentum was indeed restrained and suppressed by a gesture from the masked man in the lead.

The masked man who led the killer took a step closer to Xu Kecheng after all his subordinates were ordered to stand.

Most of his face was obscured by a black scarf, leaving only a pair of eyebrows and eyes exposed, so that even the expression on his face was blurred. Even if he was already very close, Xu Kecheng could only see his eyebrows raised slightly, but he was still indifferent to the tone of a living person, and there was a little more curiosity at this time: "Oh? On what basis do you assert this? ”

Realizing that his procrastination trick had finally played a role, and he could ramble a few words of gossip and live a little longer, Xu Kecheng smiled slightly and explained unhurriedly: "If you really take away that combat strategy, it is very likely that it will be applied in actual combat, then tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of living beings will be annihilated in it, and Ruan Gongzi will not be spared, but it will be the final finale to die." And if we had taken away the battle strategy drawn up by Mr. Nguyen, it would not have been possible to fight like this. ”

The masked man smiled coldly: "At this time, what is the point of Your Excellency doing this provoking?" ”

Xu Kecheng wanted to immediately reply "life and death are not yet decided", but he remembered the word 'drag', so he had to suppress it. Quickly planning a lot of clues in his heart, Xu Kecheng smiled, but said with no warmth in his tone: "Actually, there is nothing to hide, Ruan Gongzi will only be so defenseless against the visitors of the Xiliang Academy, if he suddenly disappears like this, if Emperor Nanzhao wants to check, it is easy to find out the origin of his friendship with the students of the Xiliang Academy, which is only a matter of ten years." ”

"Huh." The black scarf on the masked man's face squeezed at the place under his nose, and it was not hard to tell that he was grinning, as if he had just discovered something that interested him. But he quickly retracted his warm smile, and the masked black scarf regained his flat appearance, only slightly winged with the slight flow of breath.

Whether it's a smile with genuine affection or a fake one. All of them will affect a person's discernment and judgment to a greater or lesser extent, so people who need a high degree of mental concentration are generally accustomed to being unsmiling and outwardly represented. The masked man at the head of the killer apparently often needed to concentrate on killing someone. So the appearance he gives people is about the same way. Although what he does seriously is different from others, this serious attitude is probably the same.

"Your Excellency is a student of the Xiliang Academy." Without asking Xu Kecheng if he admitted it, the masked man directly threw out an affirmative sentence after receiving a sneer. After a moment's pause, he continued, "According to what you just said, you must think that I am from the northern country, but I am not. Sue you for this, and let you die blindly. ”

Xu Kecheng heard this. I almost had to pop out the sentence I just pressed on my heart again.

However, the corners of his mouth moved, and in the end he only pressed the sentence back for the second time. Thinking about what the masked man said later, Xu Kecheng was both puzzled and surprised, and immediately asked: "You said this, you should want me to die." If you're not sent from the North. What is your purpose in plundering the Ruan family's battle strategy? ”

……

Liao Shi, who was worried about the snow silkworm crystal in his heart, traveled day and night from Kyoto to his pharmacy that had been closed for several years, and it only took one day and one night. On the way, Liao Shi kept praying, hoping that the snow silkworm crystal, which was coated with two pieces of paper and the number of more than 10,000 notes, would be stored in the pharmacy for several years. At least one thousandth of a thousandth of them can be hatched! Hopefully, this wild insect will be tougher than the vitality of the silkworm!

But...... Standing at the door of his own pharmacy, Liao Shi suddenly became in trouble again, because he ran too quickly and didn't bring the key with him! After wandering around the Great Wind Ridge for several years, Liao Shidu almost forgot the purpose of the key, even if he needed to stay in the hotel sometimes. Few thieves could count on stealing money from this thin and ugly old man, but he himself ended up with ease.

It's just that this relaxed habit now makes him a little worried. After turning around the door of the pharmacy a few times, Liao Shi didn't remember where the original owner of the shop lived. After a few more hesitations, Liao Shi found a stone in a corner of the house. Walked back to the door of the pharmacy and slammed the lock on the door.

Violence is the most direct way to conquer, Liao Shi quickly smashed the lock open, entered the pharmacy, and didn't care that the door behind him was still open, the lock picking marks on the door were too eye-catching, he just buried his head in the dusty shop and rummaged through the cabinets.

He is almost like a thief, and he is still the kind of thief who steals in broad daylight, and needs to be described as "rampant" to describe his bad behavior.

Therefore, when Liao Shi used violence again and picked up a chair to smash open the box where he sealed the snow silkworm crystals, the noise caused by his two smashing the medicine shop had already attracted a few villagers who were carrying or holding hoes and pitchforks, blocked the door, and quickly tied him up and sent him to the county government hall.

In fact, the residents of small towns close to the border should not have been so brave and knowledgeable about etiquette. If this matter is left elsewhere, passing by and seeing someone burglarized, and the thief has not left, there will only be two results: one is to ignore it, and the other is to punish it on the spot. But this part of Xingjia Village is a little special.

Because of the influence of the two state-level academies in the nearby county town, the children of several families in the nearby residents have gone to the academies and learned some national compilation knowledge. Even if most of these students just hold the edge of going to the academy to have a glorious time, so that they can look better when they make a living in the future, and they do not have the great ambition of being promoted to the main academy and embarking on the ultimate scientific examination and entering the university, some basic cultural knowledge in the academy can still be passed on to the people's livelihood and bring some positive impact on the people's livelihood.

Because of the indirect protection of this good atmosphere, Liao Shicai was saved from a painful beating. Soon after Liao Shi was escorted to the county office, the original owner of the shop that rented him also rushed to hear the news. Liao Shi's image, in the heart of the homeowner, is really hard to forget once remembered, so after listening to the description of the neighborhood, the homeowner already understands that where is this thief, it is obviously the tenant who has not seen him for many years.

The owner didn't want to make too much trouble, after all, he would continue to make money by renting out the house in the future, and if he could not offend people, he would not offend. Although Liao Shi did not carry his own copy of the house deed with him, as long as he checked his fingerprints, the matter was cleared.

The county government is not far from the Lizheng Academy in the county seat. The county magistrate was able to often drink tea and read books with several academy masters, and he was quite influenced by the academy and was a person who cherished his official reputation very much. Seeing that the old man in the hall was escorted by the townspeople, it was really a misunderstanding. The county magistrate didn't make any more complicated regulations, and he made a decision and released people in the court.

This toss really made Liao Shi a little anxious. He didn't feel the relief of the owner after the trouble, and the townspeople who misunderstood him were unhappy when they saw him, although the townspeople tied him up, it was really a good intention to act bravely, but there were still one or two people who took the initiative to apologize to Liao Shi, but this could not extinguish Liao Shi's anxiety at all, because the townspeople could not understand the root of his impatience.

Hurried back to the pharmacy. Fortunately, he saw that the box containing the snow silkworm crystal was still there, Liao Shi held it, and he didn't care if the door of the shop was locked or not, and in the surprised eyes of the original owner, he didn't say a word. Turn around and go. Naturally, the owner of the house will not take advantage of Liao Shi's absence to sweep away the pharmacy.

Although most of the materials stored in the shop are high-grade medicinal materials, some of them may have been shelved for a long time and have lost their medicinal properties, but there are some special ones, such as deer antlers, tiger bones, musk and the like. It can be stored for a long time, and it is almost equal to the price of silver. But these things, in the eyes of drug dealers and knowledgeable people, are wealth, and in the eyes of ordinary people who do their duty, they will not be touched. This kind of law-abiding virtue consciously. In addition to the collective edification of pure and good people, it is also because of the medicine that is somewhat taboo among the people.

Hoarding oil and food, no family has ever thought of hoarding medicine.

Looking at the rickety old man who was as thin as a piece of wood, he walked as fast as a gust of wind. It was gone in an instant, and the owner only hesitated, and it was too late to catch up. The owner sighed, looked inside the shop again, and was turned into a mess by the old man, the owner couldn't help but shake his head, cut off the intention of helping to clean up, closed the door, held the smashed lock, and prepared to go to the lock shop in the town to repair it.

The tenant may still come back, but I just hope that the next time he returns, he will remember to bring the keys.

After Liao Shi left his pharmacy, he hurried back to the inn where the horses were kept. Seeing that the customer who had just stayed in the hotel was about to leave in an instant, the innkeeper thought that he had served poorly and offended someone, so he hurriedly apologized and wanted to keep the guest.

Liao Shi didn't bother to explain anything, and took out a piece of silver, which was the size of an egg, and almost didn't flash the guy's eyes. The innkeeper held the silver ingot, his hand trembled slightly, and watched the unsightly, even a little ugly, thin old man ride on his horse and gallop away, and it took him a long time to come to his senses: the guest really did not want to stay in the hotel, and he seemed to have forgotten to find him moneyβ€”he did not ask for it.

After leaving the town, Liao Shi rode straight into a mountain stream. He didn't immediately choose the road back because he still needed to collect some food for the snow silkworms in the mountains. Walking into the mountains and forests, looking at the greenery of the mountains, Liao Shi's heart relaxed a little. Fortunately, the season is late spring, and the leaves that snow silkworms love to eat should also grow very lushly! Liao Shi slowed down and searched for it in the greenery.

However, after searching for a moment, he gradually frowned. He was not an impatient person in the first place, but because he was anxious in his heart, it affected his feelings. And just as he frowned and sighed frequently, and could only continue to search for it, he ran into two people. Because the county commander in the county seat is an official and fair, and even the order of the ten miles and eight townships around the county seat is also good and stable, and there will be no cottages and rogue strongmen in the nearby mountains. But when Liao Shi saw these two people, he immediately waved the reins in his hand and wanted to dodge.

They were met by two teenagers of the same age, about fifteen or sixteen years old. And what really made Liao Shiwei afraid to avoid it was the young man on the left who was quite bookish. However, Liao Shi was still slower, and the scholarly boy only needed to look at Liao Shi to recognize him. To be precise, even if the image of Liao Shi is put in the eyes of a stranger, it is also unforgettable at a glance.

Liao Shi turned his horse's head to run, but the young man behind him had already whipped his mount and ran after him.

"Pharmacistβ€”"

Hearing this young and familiar voice, Liao Shi only felt like he had been cursed by someone poking his bones. However, when he thought about the purpose of his visit to the mountain stream, it was still important to get down to business, so he had to pick up the reins and stop the chase game. Seeing that the young man rode to the front, and then turned around and approached quickly, Liao Shi had a cold face and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Why are you here?" ”

The two young men on horseback came to meet them. The one on the right is the son of Orion in Xingjia Village, who is actually Mo Ye's best playmate when he was a child: Xing Feng. The one on the left is Yan Guang's grandson Yan Xingzhi, who has followed Liao Shi in Dafeng Ridge for several years, and has the ability to follow the fart. It gave Liao Shi a headache.

If he sticks to it this time, it may not be easy to get rid of it, but if he comes with him on this trip, is it really appropriate? Liao Shi only pondered in his heart for a moment, and suddenly a burst of annoyance came up again.

In fact, a few years ago, Yan Xingzhi followed Liao Shi's footsteps closely, and he didn't want to do anything unfavorable to him, but he was very enthusiastic about worshipping him as a teacher. But this apprentice sent to the door, Liao Shi didn't want it. Liao Shi didn't think it was any good to accept apprentices. He is used to being alone, and he is happy to continue this life.

If you think about it from another angle, no one in the medical world will recognize his medical skills, and if he accepts Yan Guang's only grandson as an apprentice at this time. Not to mention that there is no place for his Yan Guang's face, just with his bad reputation, don't stain Yan Xingzhi, a young man whose future is still new. Regarding this matter, although Yan Xingzhi verbally said that he had asked his grandfather for approval, Liao Shi himself was not at ease, and always felt that Yan Guang would not be reconciled. I'm going to get him in trouble.

But it's just so unfortunate that you can meet him in the depths of such a hard-to-find mountain stream! Liao Shi couldn't help but want to ask Providence, is Yan Xingzhi really the candidate who must be accepted as an apprentice in his fate?

Originally, when acquaintances met, they should say polite words such as "fortunate meeting" to each other, but Liao Shi said this coldly. As if questioning, there was obvious displeasure in his tone, as if he had met an enemy.

Fortunately, the person who walked with Yan Xingzhi today is Xing Feng, who is simple in nature and has practiced martial arts in Shanshui Academy for several years. With the solid foundation accumulated by his own hard work, he has built a lot of prestige among the children of martial arts. But he himself, in fact, is still not good at showing off on the shelf, and he just reveals his heart. Watching the strange old man speak unkindly to his friend, Xing Feng felt a little displeased, but he didn't have an immediate seizure. He calmed his heart, took a hook, patted the horse's belly, and walked to Yan Xingzhi's side.

Observing Liao Shi's face, Xing Feng was still silent, his eyes calm.

Yan Xingzhi has followed Liao Shi in Dafengling for several years, and has a good understanding of his temperament and character, and has long been accustomed to his style.

A person like Liao Shi just hangs a bad habit and temper on his face, so it can also be seen that the bad part of his character, the peak is just a cold mouth, but in fact, his heart is very simple. Yan Xingzhi had heard his grandfather relay early on, and Liao Shi had said for some reason: I will not treat diseases and save people in this life, but in the past few years in Dafengling, he has never seen Liao Shi do anything harmful. Although he rarely does anything to help the world, he also does not indifferently cut off that Cheng dΓΉ.

Facing Liao Shi's cold question, if others think about it carefully, they may understand that what he really wants to ask is not why the person in front of him is here, but is driving people away, which is equivalent to ordering "Why haven't you left yet". However, Yan Xingzhi smiled slightly, and said gently: "I went home to visit my mother, and when I had nothing to do, I went around the mountains and rivers around my hometown with my friends. ”

The answer ...... There are no flaws!

Liao Shi looked at Yan Xingzhi, slightly stunned, and didn't know what words to use to drive him away. Just as his throat was stuck, his eyes suddenly lit up again, and he patted his head and smiled: "I almost forgot, you can help!" ”

Liao Shi has a child-like temper that changes when he says, which surprises Xing Feng, who is watching. But Yan Xingzhi was already familiar with this, he didn't care about such details, and only noticed that there was a need for help in Liao Shi's words.

Liao Shi couldn't find the kind of leaves for the snow silkworm to eat, but he remembered that Yan Xingzhi had grown up here since he was a child, and he should be no stranger to this place. This familiarity also includes an understanding of local characteristics, such as where there are caves and where there are wolves' dens...... Where are those leaves.

consulted Liao Shi about what he wanted, and the two teenagers lived up to his expectations and took him to a place. When the three of them came out of the woods, they all had bundles of green leaves on their horses.

In fact, I was able to find that place thanks to Xing Fengdi's help. As he grew up year by year and his martial arts became more and more refined, his father no longer let him watch the door at home as before, and in recent years, he often took him into the mountains to hunt. For this mountainous area near his hometown, Xing Feng knew much more carefully than Yan Xingzhi.

When you come out of the forest, you will see that the leaves to be collected are harvested abundantly. It was enough for three or four days, and Liao Shi's mood was also much more relaxed, so he chose a few insignificant places for the purpose of coming back this time as gossip. Yan Xingzhi still didn't know what Liao Shi wanted to feed the snow silkworms for. But what is certain is that the old man will definitely be gone away again.

Walking on the official road, seeing that Yan Xingzhi was still following, Liao Shi couldn't help but say: "I said I was leaving, what are you doing with it?" ”

Yan Xing's heart was clear, and he replied sincerely: "I follow you, walking." ”

In fact, Liao Shi could have expected that Yan Xingzhi would do this. If it is left in normal times, it doesn't hurt to let him follow, this child is the only seedling of the Yan family. It can be seen that the Yan family has also put a lot of thought into his training, this child is very sensible and will not cause trouble for himself. Liao Shi knew his temper, if he let other people follow him. I'm afraid he doesn't need to take the initiative to catch up, and others will naturally have to "lose" after a few days. But Yan Xingzhi's kid was sincere in wanting to learn medicine from him, and after being followed by him for a few years, Liao Shi almost let go of his mind.

It's just that...... This trip, it's not easy to do errands!

Liao Shi twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked again: "Didn't you go home to visit your mother?" You just left like this, and even the rules of saying goodbye were 'saved'? ”

Yan Xingzhi couldn't help but tremble when he heard this. For him. There are many relatives and friends in his life, and Liao Shi's words can be regarded as hitting his vulnerability. Because of this, he didn't reply for a long time.

But gradually, he figured out another truth. Of course, the concern of loved ones needs to be cherished, but a person grows up to adulthood. You need to have your own ideals in life. Although the national dynasty takes benevolence, filial piety, and propriety as the spiritual theme, which is the national style, and also edifies the spirit of the people's customs, if a person attaches too much importance to filial piety, he only stops in one place. If you don't think about your own ideals and career, and don't have the meaning of personal existence, isn't that still a filial piety?

From my father to my grandfather, all my life has been working hard to think about how to overcome the strange diseases that have been passed down from generation to generation in the family. This disease took the life of his brother and made his mother mourn for half his life, and now that the Yan family has passed on to his own generation, don't he need to do something? Spend time by her mother's side every day and make her happy, so that she can really be happy all the time?

Only by overcoming this disease can the shadow over the Yan family's head be completely removed! That's what my grandfather thought, that's what my father thought, and that's how my mother ...... She'll be able to understand me, too!

My grandfather traveled all his life on the medical path, and although he still failed to find a cure for this strange disease, he accumulated a wealth of medical knowledge for the Yan family. However, it is precisely because of these medical foundations that Yan Xingzhi, who has already read it all, thinks about a question: perhaps the medical path that the Yan family is exploring has reached a bottleneck area, and if they go up on this road and find a breakthrough, the progress may become extremely slow.

Forcibly resisting the present, perhaps a workaround, is also the way out.

My grandfather once said that Liao Shi was the most treacherous and strongest among the pharmacists. Yan Xingzhi has always been puzzled by this, medicine and medicine seem to be the same family, what can be the difference here? In the years when Dafengling followed Liao Shi at close range, Yan Xingzhi seemed to be able to understand a little bit of what his grandfather Yan Guang had said. Although he still hasn't fully understood the clearest difference between Liao Shi's medicine and his grandfather's medicine, he has already been determined to learn under Liao Shi's name because of what he has seen and understood in those years!

In fact, the most obvious difference between medicine and medicine lies in the field of innovation. For example, in the face of Lin Shan's burns, doctors know that they are difficult to treat, but I am afraid that only Liao Shi will think of such a thing as snow silkworm crystal. Only a person as obsessed with pharmacology as he would not only be unwilling to learn only from books, but also be able to relate everything in nature to pharmacology. Yan Guang once made a special evaluation of Liao Shi in front of his grandson Yan Xingzhi: In the current world, the refining of animal lipid liquids, except for monsters like Liao Shi, who are good at it, other pharmacists dare not touch it.

Yan Guang's evaluation of Liao Shi is actually indirectly equivalent to talking about himself. Yan Xingzhi has also realized that the Yan family's medical skills are still generally staying in the area of herbal medicine, not because Yan Guang is conservative, but because the pace of the entire contemporary medical community is like this. So don't criticize other questions, just ask the medicine way, in the field of animal fat refining medicine, can you find a way to overcome the strange family disease of the Yan family? This idea is unknown, but the entry point of this field can indeed only be obtained from Liao Shi.

Yan Xingzhi knew that if he relied on his grandfather's current reputation in the medical community to put pressure on Liao Shi and ask him to cooperate and help, he would definitely give some face. But studying medicine is different from trading. It's not that the master can comprehend as much as the master passes. This kind of learning requires the accumulation of time, and his grandfather's knowledge is close to a fixed pattern, so he will study in his later years. Obviously not, this matter has to be picked up and studied by the younger generation.

Yan Xingzhi believes that as a descendant of the Yan family, he also has an obligation to overcome the strange disease that has plagued the Yan family for many years. Even if it is necessary to borrow the power of other schools to accomplish such a goal, it seems that it is a little disrespectful to the knowledge that my grandfather has accumulated throughout his life. However, overcoming this hurdle cannot be accomplished by inheriting the ancestral business, and if you want to pursue it, my grandfather was young. It's not just about learning from one subject.

After listening to Yan Xingzhi for a long time, he spoke again, and somehow, Liao Shi, who never cared about the feelings of others, suddenly felt a trace of self-blame, as if he had said very mean things and hurt the hearts of others-in fact, he often did this. It's just that today it's rare to be so self-aware.

After hesitating for a moment, Liao Shi suddenly stopped his horse, turned to look at Yan Xingzhi, and said slowly: "If you want to travel far away, don't go this way, at least leave a letter for your family." After saying this, Liao Shi had already taken two small medicine bottles from his pocket. This bottle is uncorked. Because the mouth of the bottle was cast by him. I saw him pinching the two bottles and knocking them together, the bottle mouth was broken, and the cap was opened. After combining the two bottles of liquid into one, he handed the bottle closer to Yan Xingzhi.

"There are not many potions, so you should write fewer words, and I will take you to Kyoto when I finish writing."

Yan Xingzhi was stunned at first when he saw this. Unexpectedly, Liao Shi actually let go and took the initiative to take him with him. Soon he also came back to his senses, and after a little thought, he was about to take off his coat and write on paper, but was stopped by Xing Feng, who was walking beside him.

Xing Feng had already jumped off his horse. He took off his coat and put it on his horse, and said earnestly: "Okay, write in my clothes, and I will help you bring the letter." Although I don't know why you have to follow this elder far away and go in such a hurry, I know that you will not be an unreasonable and impulsive person, and there must be a reason for doing so. You have not brought any luggage on this trip, you have to take care of yourself along the way, this weather, it seems to be raining, you have to be careful to keep warm. ”

Yan Xingzhi's heart warmed when he heard this, and he picked a leaf from the bundle of branches and leaves on the horse's back and made a pen, and hurried to write on Xing Feng's clothes, and at the same time said slowly, "Xing Feng, this elder is the pharmacist I often mentioned to you these days, I follow him, and my family will rest assured." ”

When Xing Feng heard this, he couldn't help but look at the old man on the side a few more times. He couldn't imagine that the person he admired so much that Yan Xing had given birth to such a look. But when he turned his gaze and saw that Yan Xingzhi was writing with leaves stained in the bottle, Xing Feng remembered that the elder was dispensing medicine in front of him just now, and the liquid poured out of the bottle was colorless, but at this time, the tip of the leaf pen pinched in Yan Xingzhi's hand was a little dazzling red.

He was immediately amazed that his opinion of the elder had changed dramatically. Looking at the person's appearance again, it was related to the things he was tinkering with, and he only felt quite strange.

Liao Shi didn't care much about the strange stares that others cast at him, although he used to really want to prove to others that he was originally very handsome, but he failed too many times, and he gradually gave up this idea. At this time, Liao Shi easily understood the meaning of the young man's gaze with some incredulous expression, which he had long been accustomed to ignoring. But when he saw that the young man also showed an incredulous expression to the bright red liquid in the bottle, he finally explained: "The bottle was originally used as a medicine to wash wounds, and the medicine is mild, and it will not be as terrible as something like it. ”

When he first saw the red liquid, Xing Feng did compare it to blood water, and Yan Xingzhi used such "ink" to write family letters, would it be a bit taboo? But he soon realized that as a child of the Orion family, he had not yet smelled blood that did not smell fishy. However, after hearing the elder's explanation, Xing Feng felt the other party's carefulness, and gradually developed some respect for the elder. Seemingly...... Yan Xingzhi admires him incomparably, and he is indeed hard-hearted.
