Chapter Eighty-Five: Burn It
Chapter 85
The smoke in the lavender furnace was filled, and the woman in front of her was half-dressed, her skin was like clotted fat, and her belly pocket was as thin as a cicada's wings, and she could see the outline of the proud twin peaks. The True Qi Urging Medicine flowed into the limbs and bones, and the ice melted little by little wherever it went, which was an extremely long process, and Mo Sigui's True Qi was being consumed all the time.
Lou Xiaowu is worried, true qi can be regenerated, but if it is exhausted and accidentally hurts the dantian qi sea, it will be troublesome, she has relatively strong spiritual power, but her internal strength is very poor, and her attributes are different from Mo Sigui, so she can only be anxious on the sidelines.
The medicinal fragrance lingered, and after two full hours, Mo Sigui pulled out the last silver needle.
"Brother Mo, how is it?" Lou Xiaowu held back for so long and was finally able to speak.
Mo Sigui fell on the bed and glanced at Lou Mingyue's side face before closing his eyes, "It's okay, continue to smoke the medicine, I'll rest for a while." ”
Anyway, close your eyes.
The boulder pressed by Lou Xiaowu's heart finally loosened, she raised her hand to cover Lou Mingyue with a futon, and saw that Mo Sigui was still wearing a heavy coat, and she felt that she must be uncomfortable.
"You have seen my second sister's body, and you are interested in her, my second sister's life is that you are pulled back from the ghost gate, and you will get married sooner or later anyway......" Lou Xiaowu muttered to herself, and went over to help take off his coat.
Seeing Mo Sigui's white middle coat, Lou Xiaowu muttered, "It's not good for my sister-in-law to help my brother-in-law undress, but it's nothing, Xiao Wu is still young." ”
As if sure that he was doing the right thing, Lou Xiaowu moved a lot neatly, peeled off Mo Sigui's clothes in three times and five by two, and covered the two of them with a quilt in the end.
Mo Sigui was so tired that he fainted, and such a toss could not wake him up.
Lou Xiaowu added some Mo Sigui's medicinal powder to the medicine furnace, and then went to Zhuangzi lightly to see if there were any other people.
The building is very large, but because the people are not prosperous enough, half of the place has been deserted, Lou Xiaowu only looked for more than an hour in the place where people usually live, and finally did not find a single person.
"Lady." Ling Gu stood under the porch in a woolen coat. His cheeks were slightly sunken and his face was sallow, but he was in good spirits.
Ling Gu is Lou Xiaowu's nurse, she married at the age of fourteen, and was pregnant at the age of fifteen, but the child she gave birth to had three legs, and the whole village said that she had recruited ghosts, and her mother-in-law drowned the child in spite of her pleas, and abandoned her on this ground, and her family felt ashamed and did not allow her.
Aunt Ling left her hometown to find a job as a nurse. Since then, he has been taking Lou Xiaowu with him and treating her as his own child. Later, Lou Xiaowu was seriously ill, and the family that adopted her was just a small family, thinking that her lingering illness was too expensive, and after a period of treatment, she was left to fend for herself.
Lou Xiaowu has always treated her as a mother.
Lou Xiaowu stepped forward to support her, and said angrily, "Why did you come out." It's cold outside, beware of the cold! ”
"I'm in good shape." When Aunt Ling saw her coming alone, she asked, "What about Doctor Mo?" ”
He exhausted his true qi for the rescue of his second sister. I'm resting now. Lou Xiaowu helped her to walk into the house.
Aunt Ling's face showed a little joy, "The second lady is saved?" ”
In recent years, Knowles has focused on cultivating Lou Mingyue to become the next owner, so many affairs have been handed over to her one after another two years ago, if she can survive. There is still hope for Knowles.
"Well, Brother Mo said that there is nothing to do." Lou Xiaowu helped her on the bed.
"Great! Great, the Bodhisattva apparition ......" Ling Gu relaxed. Tears suddenly welled up uncontrollably.
Lou Xiaowu gently stroked her back, "You rest for a while, I'll go see if there's anything to eat." ”
"Slave go cook." Linggu stood up.
Lou Xiaowu pressed her back to her seat and said with a smile, "The second sister is sick, you are also sick, if you really feel sorry for me, don't let me worry about it, take care of the second sister with me early." ”
"Yes, the slave maid is not as far as the lady thinks." Aunt Ling patted her hand with a loving gaze, "Lady, go." ”
Lou Xiaowu watched Aunt Ling lie down before leaving. She went out and vaguely heard the voice in Lou Mingyue's courtyard, and a little under her feet, she flashed over the wall and landed in front of the door a few times.
"Listen to me!" Mo Sigui's voice came out.
Lou Xiaowu pushed the door in, only to see Lou Mingyue pointing at Mo Sigui with a disheveled sword, and Mo Sigui was huddled in the corner unarmed.
"Xiao Wu! Your second sister is going to kill someone! Mo Sigui shouted.
"Second sister." Lou Xiaowu held Lou Mingyue's wrist, "He is Doctor Mo, he saved you!" ”
Lou Mingyue frowned, "Then how could we ......?"
The healer slept in her bed after healing?
Lou Xiaowu hurriedly explained, "You are deeply poisoned and need acupuncture, Doctor Mo fainted from exhausting his true qi to save you, and I saw that he was wearing too thick clothes and didn't seem to be comfortable, so I helped him take off his coat." ”
"Nonsense!" Lou Mingyue was embarrassed, although she was not a chaste martyr, how could she accept being almost naked and sharing a bed with a man!
Knowles are almost all women, not to mention this level, Lou Mingyue even talks to men very few times.
Mo Sigui was disappointed in her heart, Lou Mingyue began to make trouble as soon as she woke up, and she didn't show any emotion in every move, and her eyes when she looked at him were clearly looking at strangers, so it was obvious that she didn't recognize him.
He and Qiu Ningyu have not seen each other for many years, and they will change a lot from each other, Qiu Ningyu's appearance in his heart has been a little blurred, but when he sees Lou Mingyue, he can immediately think of her eyebrows and eyes, as if they were in front of him.
Mo Sigui couldn't help but think that if Ning Yu was still alive, he should be the same as him! After all, the two little guesses and childhood sweethearts spent more than ten years together.
After a moment when he was shaking his mind, Lou Mingyue put away his long sword and put on his clothes neatly, and when facing him, he had already put away his hostility and embarrassment, and hugged his fists, "Lou Er has offended a lot, and please forgive him." ”
It's all the freedom of the children of the rivers and lakes.
"That's it." Mo Sigui took his clothes and put them on, and said with a smile, "Those who don't know are not guilty." ”
"Brother Mo, don't you be angry with your second sister, after all, you haven't married yet." Lou Xiaowu hung her head and whispered, "It's all my own decision." ”
"Marriage?" Lou Mingyue Bingxue was smart, she guessed the general situation based on these two words alone, and she glanced at Mo Sigui a few times without any emotion. No longer ask about this matter, "Engong, can the rest of the Knowles still be saved?" ”
Mo Sigui said lazily, "We only saw you in the Yongdao, and we haven't really entered the ice cellar yet, but ...... Tell me about the situation, and I might be able to get a rough estimate. ”
"The first person in the family to get sick was the maid beside the owner, and then the owner of the village was also sick, and someone shot a letter with an arrow that night, and the head of the family called the elders to discuss it. The next day, none of the elders were spared, and then everyone else fell ill one after another. I don't know exactly when they contracted the disease, but I received an order from the owner to enter the ice cellar as soon as they felt something abnormal. Lou Mingyue's voice gradually deepened, "At that time, I was presiding over the funeral of my two younger sisters outside, and when I came back, I found that there was only one Linggu left in the village. After a few words with her, he entered the ice cellar. ”
The whole thing now seems to be a well-designed conspiracy. The owner of the village has just been infected with the plague Gu for less than a day, and she has deep internal strength. At first, it was just a slight chill, so I didn't care. That night, however, he was designed to gather the elders.
"So, everyone got it before you?" Mo Si returned.
"Yes." Lou Mingyue added. "It's the last one, and the day before me."
Mo Sigui sighed, he saved Lou Mingyue. It can be said that he put his hand into the Hades Palace, and the others ......
"Can't be saved?" Lou Mingyue asked.
Mo Sigui blinked his eyes and looked at her calm face, "Forgive me for not being able to help." ”
Lou Mingyue clenched her fists, was silent for a long time, and suddenly turned around.
"It's cruel, but I still want to tell you...... Mo Sigui said softly, "burn them." ”
Lou Mingyue was just uncomfortable, but now when she heard this, her heart felt like she had been stripped of her flesh by a knife, "They chose to go into the ice cave just to delay the toxicity and buy a little time for survival, you tell me now, let me burn them?!" ”
"When you entered the ice cave, you were infected with illness for three days, if the freezing is really useful, when you are rescued, the condition should be similar to that of Linggu, but the freezing has not been able to completely stop the development of toxicity." Mo Sigui had to say this cruel truth, "When we brought you out, you only had one breath. ”
"Maybe it's because I didn't have time to go deep into the ice cellar?" Lou Mingyue was reluctant to accept her fate, staring at him with a pair of beautiful eyes, "Wouldn't it be better to get close to Xuan Bing?" ”
Mo Sigui was silent.
Those people were poisoned before Lou Mingyue, even if Xuan Bing could really freeze the plague, their situation would not be much better, Mo Sigui asked himself if he had the ability to pull people out of the ghost gate one by one. Moreover, he was sure that freezing could not completely restrain the poison, and that it would be a curse to leave them in the ice cellar sooner or later.
Mo Sigui didn't want to be so ruthless, but this matter was not trivial.
Lou Xiaowu said, "Brother Mo, can you rescue another person closest to Xuan Bing, are you sure you can't save it and ...... again."
"This poison is afraid of fire." Mo Sigui saw that Lou Mingyue's face was like gold paper, and his eyes were almost crying, and he suddenly realized that his truth was too cruel, so he changed his words and said, "Okay, Xiao Wu and I will go in and save one more person." ”
"I'll go with you." Lou Mingyue's voice was weak, but her tone was unquestionable.
"Whatever you want." Mo Sigui took a deep look at her, picked up the fire mink Qiu Qiu hanging on the hanger, and walked out.
Lou Mingyue closed her eyes and breathed a little, and then took a fire mink fur to follow.
Mink are scarce, extremely agile, small and intelligent, difficult to catch, and the mink fur is so beautiful that it attracts countless powerful people, and it is too difficult to get a skin! Even the only two pieces of Knowles' mink coat were also collected at the expense of more than 20 years to be made.
"Second sister." Lou Xiaowu ran out, "Let me go." ”
However, Lou Mingyue walked out of the courtyard without looking back.
Lou Xiaowu understands her second sister's temperament, and once she decides, it is easy not to change. Lou Xiaowu admired the second sister very much, she dared to see the sleeping appearance of the clansmen, but she didn't want to and didn't dare to look at it.
Lou Xiaowu found some food, ate some briefly, and sent some to Aunt Ling.
As it was getting dark, the sound of horses' hooves sounded down the mountain.
A group of five people rode horses in the snow.
One of them whistled from a distance, and Lou Xiaowu, who was halfway up the mountain, heard the sound and immediately rushed down the mountain.
The five horsemen waited for a moment, and the gate slowly opened.
"Aunt Six!" Lou Xiaowu jumped out and pounced on the person in charge.
Lou Xiaowu's sixth aunt is called Lou Xin, a woman of nearly forty years old.
"Xiao Wu." Lou Xin dismounted, "Why are you here to open the door?" What about the doorkeepers? ”
She asked, but her tense voice showed that she had guessed the answer.
"Everyone has gone into the ice cellar, Aunt Ling and I are still there, and Brother Mo and Second Sister have gone into the ice cellar to save people." Lou Xiaowu said sullenly.
Lou Xin's heart sank, with Lou Xiaowu's temperament, if there was a little hope, she would definitely be begging for praise at the moment, but now she looks like this......
"Let's go in first." Lou Xin led the horse into the door.
There were thirty-nine people when she set off, although only she and Lou Xin were from the Knowles family, but now such a depressed appearance made Lou Xiaowu feel uncomfortable.
Her gaze swept over, and suddenly stopped on a person, and she said in surprise, "Mei Fourteen! (To be continued......)
