With heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, Suzhou has been an indispensable place since ancient times, and has always been praised by literati and merchants.

Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship.

At this time, a woman in green supported a woman in white to avoid crowded places and walked into Suzhou City, the woman in white staggered and was obviously seriously injured, it was the two sword-wielding maids of the White Lotus Sect, Qinglian and Bai Peony.

I hope that people in the world are free of diseases, and would rather put medicine on the shelf to produce dust, and criticize the world for the sake of the world.

Looking at the couplet hanging on this door, I can immediately think that this is a pharmacy, and there is a plaque hanging on the outside of Jishitang.

From a distance, you can smell the strong medicinal fragrance coming from the pharmacy, which makes people's spirits suddenly shocked.

Qinglian helped Bai Shao and slowly walked into the pharmacy: "Is there anyone here?" ”

Behind the counter, an old man in his fifties suddenly appeared, the old man had a childish face, full of energy, a pair of eyes full of kindness, and was wearing a light blue robe, which made it easy for people to feel close.

Seeing Bai Shao's seriously injured appearance, the old man immediately put down the medical book in his hand and hurriedly walked out of the counter: "What's wrong with the two girls, how could this girl be so seriously injured?" ”

Qinglian helped Bai Shao to sit on the chair on the side: "Old man, please save my sister, our sisters met a mountain bandit on the way to the province, my sister was shot by the mountain bandit's arrow, and she shed a lot of blood, please ask the old gentleman to rejuvenate and save my sister's life." ”

The old man grabbed Bai Shao's wrist: "Girl, old man Zhou Ji, you just call me Old Man Zhou, and the old man will take the pulse of this girl first." ”

"Old Zhou, please save my sister."

Zhou Lao grabbed Bai Shao's wrist and closed his eyes slightly, his expression became more and more solemn and ugly, and after a while, he put Bai Shao's wrist down and faced Qinglian: "This girl's pulse is weak, her breath is like a gossamer, her face is pale and bloodless, she has lost too much blood, I am afraid that the medicine stone is useless, the old man's medical skills are shallow and have no power to return to heaven, the girl will mourn and prepare for the future." ”

Qinglian pounced and knelt on the ground and grabbed Zhou Lao's hand: "Old man, little girl, please beg you, you must think of a way, the little girl and her sister have depended on each other since childhood, if the sister is gone, the little woman will not be able to live, as the saying goes, the doctor is benevolent, old man, you want to find a way, the little woman is willing to repay your great kindness for the old man as a cow and a horse." ”

Zhou Lao sighed: "Do your best, whether you can survive depends on her creation, where is her wound?" ”

"Abdomen."

Zhou Lao lifted the hem of Bai Shao's clothes, looked at the arrow shaft that had been cut off and only one section was cut off, and suddenly changed color, and looked at Qinglian solemnly: "Girl, what you just said you encountered a mountain bandit and was shot by a mountain bandit's arrow?" ”

Qinglian's tone stammered slightly: "Yes..... Be... Encountered... Mountain bandits. ”

Zhou Lao shook his head: "You are lying, let alone a mountain bandit, even ordinary garrisons do not have this kind of arrow, the soul arrow, this kind of phoenix feather soul arrow has nothing else except the defenders of the northern frontier, even if you cut off the sword head and the sword tail, you can see it at a glance, this kind of wound in addition to the soul arrow other arrows can only be done by Mu Yu arrows This kind of wound, it is precisely these two arrows are used by the border army, who are you?" ”

Qinglian was a little panicked: "I.. We... Mr. ........."

When Zhou Lao saw the sword behind Qinglian, a flash of realization flashed on his face: "Lao Yu is a doctor, it is his duty to treat diseases and save people, I don't have to ask about your identity, Lao Yu will also try his best to save this girl, you can resign yourself to fate." ”

"Thank you, old man, the little girl will not forget your kindness."

"Help her to the bed, and the old man will take out the arrow in her abdomen first."

Bai Shao was lying on the bed, Zhou Lao cut Bai Shao's clothes with a knife, and Zhou Lao ignored Bai Shao's soft and smooth skin, and took out a few silver needles from the cloth bag and pierced a few needles in Bai Shao's abdomen: "Lao Yu has sealed her acupoints, you hold her at all and don't let her struggle, the more she struggles, the more bad it will be for her." ”

Qinglian suppressed Bai Shao's shoulder, Zhou Lao held the arrow shaft and exhaled, and suddenly pulled it out hard, Bai Shao convulsed, fainted in pain, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, which showed how amazing the pain was.

The arrow was pulled out, and the wound stopped with only a little blood, obviously the credit of those silver needles, Zhou Lao took out the cloth and prepared to bandage the wound, his face was ugly again, the impact of the soul arrow had destroyed the stomach and intestines in Bai Shao's abdomen, and it was a miracle to be able to survive until now, which shows the strength of the human body and bones of the martial arts practitioners.

Zhou Lao couldn't bear to say words that hurt Qinglian's feelings, and silently bandaged the wound, but he clearly knew that there was no cure at all, this woman would definitely die, it was just a matter of time or later, looking at her complexion, it was a question whether she could survive tonight.

"Girl, go and boil medicine, this girl will wake up, you can talk more."

Qinglian didn't hear the meaning of Zhou Lao's words when she lost her mind, and nodded at Zhou Lao in gratitude.

About half an hour later, Bai Shao opened her eyes, angry as a gossamer, and looked at Qinglian with tears on her face: "Silly girl, what are you crying about, people are going to die sooner or later, I just went one step earlier, there is nothing to be uncomfortable about." ”

"Sister, don't talk nonsense, you will definitely be fine, Mr. Zhou has gone to boil the medicine, and he will be fine after drinking the medicine."

"Silly girl, no one knows their situation better than my sister, my sister .........."

"Sister, don't ........"

"Qinglian, I heard my sister say that the White Lotus Sect is no longer a place to stay for a long time, the imperial court is moved to kill, and it is bound to exterminate the White Lotus, you have to go incognito and find a new place to live, then I will rest assured."

"Sister, after you're well, we still have to meet with the sect leader, Qinglian won't go anywhere."

"No, don't make peace, the White Lotus Sect is definitely not a place to live, you are proficient in the art of Miao Jiang's Gu poison, as long as you don't provoke a very powerful person, you can protect yourself on the road, you have to rush to Jinling to join Liu Gongzi, this is the only way out, in order to ensure that your life is worry-free."

"I don't, I don't."

"Qinglian, since the Yangzhou incident, you have been in a daze since you went back, my sister knows in her heart that you are thinking about Liu Gongzi, and now you can go and attach yourself to him to save your life."

"I didn't, sister, I didn't."

"Silly boy, you are shouting in your sleep every day that I want to kill you, my sister can see that you have him in your heart, the situation was unpredictable at the beginning, my sister endured not to say it, and now that the White Lotus Sect is completely damaged, you can't go back no matter what."

"Sister, you'll be fine, you will."

"Liu Gongzi is not only the eldest son of the Liu family in Jiangnan, according to the intelligence investigation, he is the righteous son of the military department, and he will have a son-in-law relationship with the Jinling Assassin History in the future, and he has a little friendship with the King of Huainan, he is also a closed disciple of the emperor's master Wenrenzheng, the senior brother of the Son of Heaven, all these identities are enough to protect you, even if someone knows that you used to be the identity of the White Lotus Sect, your identity is too low, insignificant, and having him come forward is enough to protect your life from harm, don't remember, when you see Liu Gongzi, you must be honest and plead, don't be petty, Although Liu Gongzi has a reputation for being a gentleman, he has not killed anyone, remember his sister's words and take refuge in Liu Gongzi. ”

"Sister, I don't." Qinglian shouted heartbreakingly.

Bai Shao's face was colorless, and a mouthful of blood spit out, and he touched Qinglian's cheek with all his strength: "Remember...... Live sister........ Words... Answer..... Should I... Good for me... Good job.." Bai Shao's hand hung down weakly, and the corners of his mouth closed his eyes with a relaxed smile.

"Sister, don't leave me alone, sister......."

"Alas, this hanging ginseng soup is still useless after all, the girl's festival mourns and changes, your sister is smiling, you should be happy for her, she has already thought of a way out for you, don't disappoint her heart, bandit, it's not a long-term solution after all."
