It takes more than half an hour to walk from the Xu family compound to Yanxiu Pavilion, because it is a little far. But because Xu Yuan walked fast, it was not half an hour before he arrived.

There are not as many guests as there were in the past.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a counter, and opposite the counter is a variety of silk satin and all kinds of fashionable patterns in Yanjing City.

The shopkeeper was standing at the counter, his left hand rubbing against the ledger, and the other hand delicately flicking the beads on the abacus, making a crisp sound.

Xu Yuanyuan walked into the door and looked around for a while, then walked to the counter, carefully held the stack of costume manuscript paper with two hands and handed it to the counter to the shopkeeper, and said, "I am from the Xu family class, and this is what my master asked me to send over." Master said that the size of the clothes should be the size of a normal person. If the clothes are ready, they will be sent directly to Miaoyin Pavilion, and then the master will give you all the wages and everything. ”

The shopkeeper took the stack of papers, flipped through a few sheets at random, and then said to Xu Yuanyuan: "Don't worry, our Yanxiu Pavilion is doing things properly." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper summoned a small servant who was sweeping the floor in the lobby, and he solemnly handed the manuscript paper to the little servant, and said, "You send this to the embroidery room now, be careful." ”

The little guy took the stack of papers from the shopkeeper's hand and left the lobby and walked outside.

Xu Yuan was about to leave after handing over his things, but he didn't want someone behind him to gently pat his left shoulder.

Xu Yuan turned his head to look, and the person behind him turned out to be Liu Yi, Liu Yi was followed by a small servant, and that person was Zhuang Shanfang, the leader of the secret guard in civilian clothes.

Xu Yuan was secretly muttering in his heart, why he could see Liu Lijun whenever he went out recently. And the Liu Lijun she was talking about is the pseudonym used by Liu Yiwei when he visited Weifu.

Liu Yi just smiled when he looked at Xu Yuan, and said, "I never thought that I would meet you here today, it's too much of a coincidence." ”

Xu Yuanyuan didn't look very happy when he saw Liu Yi, but just replied with two words lightly: "What a coincidence." ”

Xu Yuan said that it was really a coincidence, but what she wanted to say in her heart was that it was really unfortunate, she now has an inexplicable affection for Liu Yi, what is it she can't tell, maybe because Liu Yi is one of the few people who have seen herself crying, so she will have that special feeling.

And Xu Yuanyuan just wants to avoid Liu Yi now, not to see him again.

Liu Yi seemed to see what Xu Yuanyuan was thinking, so he said: "You are so mindful now, it won't be because of the last incident, right?" ”

Before Liu Yi could continue, Xu Yuanxuan gently pressed his fingers against Liu Yi's lips and whispered in his ear: "Who hasn't been sad yet, you are not allowed to talk about it in the future." After saying that, he turned his back in anger and turned his back.

Suddenly, Liu Yi directly pushed Xu Yuan forward.

Xu Yuan, who was originally standing there in a good manner, was a little confused.

Because Liu Yi had just pushed a little hard, Xu Yuanxuan fell directly to the ground, and his knee fell directly on the stone bricks laid on the ground, and the fall hurt so much.

I just heard a strong wind blowing, setting off a lot of coolness.

With a "whoosh" sound, a short arrow flew from the second floor of the hotel across the street with the cold wind and hit Liu Yi directly in the shoulder.

Although there was some distance between the lobby of Yanxiu Pavilion and the second floor of the hotel across the street, after passing through those distances, the power of the arrow did not decrease at all, and Liu Yi was shot in the shoulder and directly retreated back again and again.

The moment Xu Yuan turned his head, he directly saw Liu Yi sitting on the ground with an arrow, and the blood gushing out like a sweet spring from the place where the arrow was inserted in his shoulder, staining the clothes red.

The moment the shopkeeper saw Liu Yi being hit by an arrow, he squatted down directly in fear, for fear that he would also be hit by an arrow like Liu Yi. The little guys who were cleaning around also dropped their brooms and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, shivering, muttering something "don't kill me", and even peeing out.

Xu Yuan looked in the direction where the arrow came from, and there was a masked man in coarse cloth clothes holding a bow and arrow on the balcony on the second floor of the restaurant.

Zhuang Shanfang, who was beside Liu Yi, had already rushed out a moment earlier, taking two steps and doing one step, as if flying over like a light swallow.

Xu Huanhuan saw that he was about to rush out to chase the man, only to hear Liu Yi behind him shouting: "Lingering, poor Kou Mo chase, come back quickly." ”

Xu Yuan turned around and saw Liu Yi lying in a pool of blood, his lips were already a little white, and the red on his lips seemed to be stained all over his shoulders. Because of the severe pain in his shoulder, Liu Yi's brows were tightly locked, the sweat was left from the corners of his forehead, and his cheeks were pale as if he had applied a layer of lead powder for his daughter's makeup.

Xu Yuanyuan immediately walked over to check Liu Yi's injury, it seemed that the injury was not light and needed immediate treatment.

Liu Yi tried hard to stand up, but the severe pain in his shoulder and excessive blood loss, the dignified man who could usually dance with a knife and a gun could not even stand up now. And Liu Yi himself could feel that something was definitely quenched on that arrow, otherwise he would never have become like this with this arrow alone.

Xu Yuanyuan knew that Liu Yi was going to get up, so he went up and prepared to help him up.

This Liu Yi doesn't look fat or strong, but he never thought it was so heavy, and Xu Yuan almost couldn't pick up Liu Yi at the beginning.

Liu Yi endured the intense pain in his shoulder, covered his bleeding shoulder with his other hand, and said heavily: "Go out and ...... to the right There's a medical clinic...... Go there first and heal ......."

Liu Yi's voice was very small, and he felt that the panting sound was louder than the voice, and Xu Yuanyuan just guessed what he was talking about based on the changes in Liu Yi's lips when he spoke.

Xu Yuan carefully supported Liu Yi and walked outside step by step.

Walking all the way, Liu Yi's blood also dripped all the way, and the blood stains on the stone slab were like plum blossoms hidden in the snow when Liu Yi and Xu Yuan met in Caofu that time.

Xu curled Liu Yi carefully across the threshold, and finally walked out of the Yanxiu Pavilion, the third house on the right side of the second floor of the second floor hung with a blue cloth wangzi, on which was written "Medical Hall", with a line of small words next to it - "Specializing in the treatment of external injuries".

Xu Yuanxuan half-dragged Liu Yi into the medical hall like that. There was a white-haired old man pounding medicine with a stone mortar in the medical hall, and the stone pestle smashed into the stone mortar with a dull sound, and the dry herb branches and leaves were smashed into powder by the force.

Xu Yuan helped Liu Yi to the simple wooden bed against the door, and at the moment when Xu Yuan let go, Liu Yi fell directly on the wooden bed.

Seeing this, the old man immediately ran over, Liu Yi was lying on the wooden bed with his brows tightly locked, the horizontal lines on his forehead because of the frown were like Sichuan characters, sweat was like rain, and the blood on his shoulders was also flowing wildly, just like the fierce Jiang Tao flowing eastward.

The old man has been practicing medicine for some years, and he knows that Liu Yi's injury is far from being as simple as the arrow wound he sees on the surface, so the old man directly pulled the clothes covered by Liu Yi's shoulders, and the clothes were torn apart, and the arrows of the arrows and Liu Yi's broad shoulders were exposed.

The flesh around the arrowhead is already a little black, and the exposed part of the arrow is not the usual white iron color, some black.

Xu Yuan walked to the old man and saw the black meat on Liu Yi's shoulder, his face was anxious, and he said, "Uncle, should you pull out the arrow on his shoulder first." Although I don't know the weapon, I also know that there must be something wrong with this arrow, and I am afraid that he will not be able to do it if it drags on for a few more days. ”

Xu Yuan's speed of speech had never been so urgent, and this was the first time that he felt anxious because of Liu Yi's injury.

The old man just stood there, leaning over and looking carefully at Liu Yi's wound lying on the wooden bed, and muttered something in his mouth, but Xu Yuanxuan didn't hear it clearly, listening to the old man's accent should not be a native of Yanjing.

Xu Yuan saw that the old man was still there and didn't take any action, and now Liu Yi's situation was getting worse and worse, so he only felt that there was less qi in and more qi out, so he went up and grabbed the middle part of the arrow body and prepared to pull it out.

But he didn't want the old man to directly grab Xu Yuan's wrist that was about to exert his strength, and stopped: "Girl, you must not do this." ”

The old man pointed to the part of the arrow buried in the flesh and said, "Girl, this arrow is not an ordinary conical arrowhead, but has barbs. Although it is difficult to see, the old man's years of experience in treating injuries should be a barb. If the girl pulled out the arrow violently, I am afraid that she would tear off a large piece of the child's flesh. ”

Xu Yuanyuan knew that she had no experience in this area, she could only believe the old man's words, she stood respectfully beside the old man and asked, "Uncle, according to your meaning, what should I do?" ”

The old man walked to the cabinet where the medicine was kept, took out a silver dagger and a square cloth from the drawer of the small table next to him, and then squatted down and picked up a small dark brown jar with a red cloth stuffed with a red cloth at the bottom of the medicine cabinet, and then rummaged through the cabinet and found two small porcelain bottles, which he put on the drawer.

The old man held the small jar with one hand and brought the drawer with the other.

Xu Yuanyuan had already guessed a few points in her heart, she frowned, looked at the old man suspiciously, and asked, "Uncle, are you going to prepare to cut the meat and take the arrow?" ”

The old man put those things in the empty space of the wooden bed, pulled out the red cloth stuffed at the mouth of the altar, and said, "Otherwise, this arrow has barbs, not to mention, it must have been quenched poison." You can see that the flesh around here is already blackened, and if you remove this part of the flesh, I am afraid that the poison will spread. After speaking, he also pointed to the blackened flesh around Liu Yi's middle part to show Xu Yuan.

After confirming that the old man was going to remove the black flesh from Liu Yi's injured part, Xu Yuan's heart trembled, and he stepped forward to stop him: "Uncle, this is absolutely impossible, he is still alive, I am afraid that he will die of pain if he directly cuts the flesh like this." ”

Xu Yuanyuan didn't know why she was thinking about Liu Yi at this moment, just a little time before the half-pillar incense, she didn't want to see Liu Yi, she didn't know why it hurt to think about him at the moment, she had never thought about others like this.
